Chapter 387, Stillness
The so-called twilight drum looks like an ordinary leather drum, without much fancy fancy; The only difference is that the drum surface has a mysterious pattern, which is not painted, but is born on the animal skin, which is different from the morning bell of Tang Bai, which is full of inscriptions.
Han Cai'er said the mallet; after the voice, there were two more white bone mallets in her two hands, if the thickness of two fingers was three feet long; the two mallets tapped lightly, and the twilight drum above Han Cai'er's head became one point larger, until it was twice as large as the ordinary leather drum; Han Cai'er looked at Tang Bai and said, "You should step back a little, don't be taken away by the drum!"
Tang Bai took two steps back.
Han Cai'er said, "Do you have the power of the Dusk Drum just these two steps?"
Tang Bai chuckled lightly and said, "I naturally know that the sound of the dusk drum will pass away, but what is the difference between me taking a hundred steps back and taking two steps back? Thinking of this, I have some hesitation, if I can't sound the bells and drums in unison; not only me, but also Xinyue, Caifeng Fairy, and Suqin Fairy in this Jia Mansion, they are afraid that they will not be able to withstand the power of time. ”
Han Cai'er said: "Then whether this drum beats or not, you give an accurate word." ”
Tang Bai said: "Knock still has to knock, but you don't have to exert a little effort, if you have the ability, as some time ago, read a scripture, lead to the morning bell of my knowledge of the sea, and then beat the evening drum is not safe!"
Han Cai'er said: "I didn't find you such a mother-in-law before, besides, what do those fairies have to do with me! Since you don't want to retreat, then you can!" After speaking, she waved her bone mallet, and she heard a muffled sound of 'dong', like a stone thrown into a pond, and the pattern of the drum surface rippled in circles, swinging around.
When Tang Bai heard the sound of the drums, his heart tightened slightly, knowing that he had been prepared, but he still had the feeling that the sun was vast and the years were passing.
There was no fear and panic in his heart, but a kind of satisfaction and peace of 'the sunset is infinitely better'.
While!
A bell rang in Tang Bai's sea of knowledge, awakening him from his momentary confusion, and he looked at Han Cai'er, only to see her beating on the twilight drum again.
After the drums, the bells rang again.
The interweaving of two different sounds, both the thick vicissitudes of history and the hopeful melody, makes the surrounding time seem to be immersed in such sounds, forgetting the passage of time.
The phoenix stopped, and the leaves no longer flew, and the fallen leaves paused in the air, as if they were reluctant to part, and the lanterns at the Jiafu Gate, the dancing flames inside were all solidified, not to mention the servants standing at the gate of the house, one by one, like sculptures, motionless.
Has time stood still?
Tang Bai didn't know for a while, at least he could still move, he even felt that his eyebrows were heating slightly, as if something was about to come out of his eyebrows, this feeling was not painful, but it was not comfortable; he looked at Han Cai'er who was not far away and said, "Hey, just knock twice, don't knock again." ”
Han Cai'er didn't seem to hear it, and still beat on the twilight drum one by one.
The sound of 'dong dong' became louder and louder, but the space around it became thicker and thicker, and faintly, there seemed to be an invisible river, flowing in the sound of drums, and all beings were just a splash in the river.
As the drums rang, the morning bell rang uncontrollably.
With each sound, the golden light in Tang Bai's eyebrows would be blazing, and the temperature on his forehead would rise rapidly, and for a moment, he felt as if a soldering iron was burning in his eyebrows, burning uncomfortably.
He wanted Han Cai'er to stop, but he knew that Han Cai'er would never listen to him, even if her body couldn't help but tremble with every drum, even if her face was as pale as paper, she still wouldn't stop.
There is a kind of woman in this world, sometimes you won't listen to anything, and she will only be honest if you beat her up.
Tang Bai thinks that Han Caier is such a woman.
So he walked towards Han Cai'er, a few steps away, it was not a difficult thing.
But he stretched out his hand and slapped Han Cai'er.
He didn't exert any force, but the average person certainly couldn't bear it, so when the slap approached the beautiful cheek, he lost another three points.
The slap crossed a perfect arc and did not fall on Han Cai'er's cheek, but passed through Han Cai'er's face like a slash through the air.
He was slightly stunned, and instead of continuing, he took two steps back and looked carefully.
He found that Han Cai'er's side was filled with an invisible power of time, which belonged to the power of the past, in other words, Han Cai'er had been living in the past at this time, and if he wanted to hit her, he would not attack faster than the speed of time.
He had heard it said that the farthest distance in the world was not between heaven and earth, but the passage of time, and he had always thought it was a, but now he realized that it was so appropriate.
The only thing he had to do now was to go to Jia's mansion and take a look, and then carry the three unconscious women out.
He endured the burning pain in his eyebrows, and said to Han Caier: "You knock and let you knock, Lao Tzu will be free." When he walked to the gate of the mansion, he couldn't help but be stunned, he found that the appearance of the servant in front of the gate had changed; although he didn't know the servant before, but as a monk, it was the easiest thing to forget.
What's going on? How can these people change their faces when time stands still?
With such a question, he entered the Jia Mansion.
At this time, the courtyard was full of people, and each person's expression was different, but they all stood still, looking like a picture scroll.
In the courtyard, I didn't see Huixin and Zhuge Xinyue, and Xianglai had already gone to the Ming Hall of Jiafu.
The bells and drums were still ringing, and Tang Bai's eyebrows were already protruding with a sarcoma, and the golden light on his forehead was as dazzling as a big searchlight.
Tang Bai said to the crazy woman, and then walked through the courtyard, through a long corridor, and saw the Ming Hall.
The Ming Hall was already full of people, and there were many women, all of whom wanted to join in the excitement to watch the ceremony.
Tang Bai looked at these people, shook his head, and then pushed one by one, and after opening a passage, he saw Huixin and Zhuge Xinyue.
The red rope is holding each other, the bride is accompanied, the drum music is standing aside, Huixin has entered the Ming Hall, and Zhuge Xinyue gently lifted her feet, and was about to step over the threshold, but time stood still, and her feet did not fall.
Tang Bai walked over, pulled Zhuge Xinyue's red rope, threw it at Hui Xin, and said, "It's not a family, you don't enter a family, it's impossible for Xinyue to marry you, a bald donkey." After speaking, he saw Huixin, who had been standing still, blinked his eyes, and couldn't help but say: "It's not good to rob your daughter-in-law with anyone, you have to rob Lao Tzu, for the sake of Han Caier's face, I don't care about you." Then, he picked up Zhuge Xinyue and wanted to leave, but he heard a strange voice in the Ming Hall, saying, "Xiaoyou, are you going to rob your relatives?"
Listening to the tone, it was the old man Jia Renjia who was speaking, but the voice was completely different, when he said the word Xiaoyou, it was like the voice of a child, crisp and childish; when it came to you, the voice became the appearance of a teenager, in the period of voice change, it sounded weird; The last few words, but one word at a time, changed one by one, until the last word, it became the old voice of the past.
It's as if it's not one person talking, but several people of different ages talking.
Tang Bai put Zhuge Xinyue down and looked towards the Ming Hall, only to see a Taishi chair under a huge happy word, and an old man with white hair sitting on the chair, and beside the old man, there were two stunning women, these two people were Jia Yu and Jia Ling.
Tang Bai didn't rush into the Ming Hall, because Jia Ren could still speak in this situation, and he was obviously not affected by the power of time contained in the sound of bells and drums;
He looked at Jia Ren and said calmly: "This is originally my daughter-in-law, how can it be called robbery? But you, an old man, are not a good person, abducting my daughter-in-law to this ghost place and letting her marry a monk. ”
Jia Ren said: "Xiaoyou, what you said is wrong, the old man has a foothold here, and he has never heard of the outside world;
Tang Bai said: "In this case, it is good for me to apologize on her behalf, and from now on, we will leave without damaging any of this place." ”
Jia Ren said: "But the person who came with him stole a treasure from the old man, how can you taste it?"
Tang Bai was stunned for a moment, he didn't know who Zhuge Xinyue came here with? Obviously, she was on the right path.
Tang Bai was silent for a while, and asked, "I wonder what treasure the person who came with her stole it?"
Jia Ren said: "An incense burner." ”
Tang Bai said: "It's just an incense burner, and Master Jia has a lot of it, so why bother so much." ”
Jia Ren said: "Little friend doesn't know, this incense burner is used by the Purple Spirit God to collect incense, and it can't be lost. ”
When Tang Bai heard him talk about the Purple Spirit God, he couldn't help but be stunned, and said, "Does Jia Lao know the Spirit Spirit Goddess?"
Jia Ren said: "I naturally know Lingling. ”
Tang Bai said: "I have intersected with the Lingling Goddess in Xia, can Jia Lao look at the face of the Lingling Goddess and open the net." ”
Jia Ren said: "Xiaoyouxiu wants to lie to me, Lingling has long been gone, how do you intersect?"
Tang Bai couldn't understand the process of meeting Yu Lingling for a while, and another point, he felt that Jia Ren had been talking to him, delaying time.
So he cautiously walked into the Ming Hall and came to Jia Ren's side.
Sure enough, when Jia Ren saw his arrival, he didn't make any moves, he was still sitting upright on the Taishi chair, and he didn't even open his mouth to speak, but like a secular acrobatics, he was communicating with himself in ventriloquism.
Tang Bai breathed a sigh of relief, then smiled slightly, and said, "Old Jia is so scheming, I almost talked to you about family life." ”
Jia Ren said: "The sound of the bell and drum is really amazing, but it is not difficult for the old man. So saying, he stood up, but his movements were a little slow, as if he were too old to do what he could do.
