Human skin drums. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
A type of drumming originating from Thailand, it is said that there was a master drum maker who was fascinated by drums and spent his life searching for the perfect drum sound. He worked day and night, forgetting to sleep and eat, even to the point of madness. The master drummer's drumming skills have long since been perfected to the extreme, and he turned his attention to the "drums" themselves. He tried all the materials, but he couldn't make the perfect sound.
Horseskins, donkey skins, wolf skins, and even elephant skins...... When he was helpless, he heard a quarrel between mother and daughter on the street, and the child was not well-behaved, so he was slapped by his mother, and the voice was so perfect and so crisp.
He finally discovered the most wonderful material for drummaking.
Human skin!
The murderer killed 37 people in a row, all of them skinned off people, and the methods were cruel and skillful, which caused Thailand to fall into panic for a while.
As the murders continued, the master drummer discovered that human skin was also made of many materials, and he was still looking for that crisp, resonant and magical tone. In the end, he realized that the perfect material had always been by his side.
He has a daughter who is fair-skinned, flawless, and has a smooth texture that produces the most perfect tone.
So that day he claimed to take his daughter to play, but he took her into the utility room and did the most cruel deed. He believed that drums have spirituality, and that drums have souls just like people. So during the peeling process, he tried his best to keep his daughter awake. The poor little girl struggled until her bones broke, but she still couldn't escape her fate.
The next day's drumming attracted the whole village and town, and they couldn't help but be attracted by the sound of the natural sound. Even when they saw human skin sewn into the drum, they could not be afraid, they just swayed to the rhythm of the drum.
Later the police opened fire.
The legendary drummer became known to be a murderous skinner, and they found his daughter in the utility room with the rest of her skin cut off, like a pig and dog, propped up by wire, and hung bloodily on an iron frame.
"Well, that's the human skin drum." As soon as Wang Liqun finished speaking, there was silence below.
Everyone knew about Suosuo, and some timid girls were so frightened that they burst into tears.
Yuno also woke up, and saw that she was even more frightened, and directly covered her head with a book, and buried her head in the sand like an ostrich, shivering. Lu Qingchen went to poke her, and Yuno was so excited that he almost fell off his position.
Yuno's face was flushed with fright, and he said angrily, "Are you sick?" ”
Lu Qingchen said: "Am I sick? There were no normal people in the world. Aren't you notoriously bold? Why are you afraid of this thing. ”
Yuno turned his head away from him.
Wang Liqun smiled proudly on the stage, it seems that no one dares to sleep now, and they are all scared to wake up. He stroked his gray beard with satisfaction and said: "Our Chinese drums are much more normal, there are no serial peeling cases, and there are many kinds of drums: earth drums, war drums, waist drums, ......."
Lu Qingchen raised his hand and said, "What about that little drum?" ”
"Oh, this is our traditional Chinese musical instrument, mostly made of sheepskin for drum skin, and the rest of it is made of wood and painted with red lacquer." Wang Liqun took a sip of tea. "Although it is a traditional Chinese instrument, it can be traced back to the Egyptian period."
Lu Qingchen said: "Has that gentleman ever heard of the guide drum?" ”
Wang Liqun clapped his hands, "This classmate asked well, the guide drum is a rare folk custom that needs to be protected and inherited." ”
Lu Qingchen said: "This seems to be a kind of feudal culture, Xiaosheng is ignorant, please ask Mr. for advice." ”
"Well......" Wang Liqun thought, he said: "This belongs to the unique culture of Dayan Mountain, I remember that when I first came to Naqi Village, I was still in the prime of life. At that time, there was an old man who used to talk strange things in the shade of the trees, and he used to talk about this guiding drum, and he said that this guiding drum was ......."
"The guide drum is a kind of soul-summoning thing, and most of the people use it to worship or guide the way to gods and ghosts."
"Is it a god or a ghost?"
Wang Liqun opened the book, "Well, according to my years of research, there are many kinds of worship objects in Naqi Village. ”
When Lu Qingchen heard this, he couldn't help frowning and asked, "What about the wolf spirit?" Everyone in the class cast surprised eyes, Wang Liqun did not shy away from it, and only said: "According to my research, wolf spirits have entities, biased towards demons, and the guide drum is for summoning spirits, more for guiding ghosts and the like." ”
Lu Qingchen said: "What about the ghost horse?" ”
The person in the class was another agitator, Wang Liqun laughed, "Okay, you kid knows a lot, and the ghost horse may be led away by the guide drum." ”
Lu Qingchen recalled carefully that he had indeed seen the hell horse covered in fire in the Anping Hotel, was it a fantasy? But the impact sound was so real, and its roar full of grievances seemed to be crying to Lu Qingchen.
It is with hatred and unwillingness to be buried in the loess.
Lu Qingchen seemed to be able to feel it, touch it, and even have a subtle sense with it.
Wang Liqun said: "The so-called ghost horse is actually similar to the 'cat ghost' in the Classic of Mountains and Seas. They were all animals in their lifetimes, and they died because of some kind of resentment, so they turned into ghosts. The greater the resentment, the more difficult it is to deal with, and it will even deepen the resentment by killing. ”
Lu Qingchen was thoughtful.
Wang Liqun returned to the theme and said: "The guide drums are mostly small objects such as drums, they are always arranged in pairs, and when the wind blows at night, they make a sound, leading the way of the dead. And the leading things are the infant spirits, fox ghosts, ghosts, and even the souls of the deceased, which Nazaki Village worships more......"
"Don't say it so scary." "Sir, spare your life!" Everyone protested, and Wang Liqun didn't want to frighten the group of children, so he stroked his beard and said: "In short, Naqi Village is a magical place, and there are many supernatural worships, so you can go to the temple on the mountain to pay homage if you have the opportunity." ”
Lu Qingchen suddenly thought that when he was designing the map of Naqi Village, he did see some buildings towering on the heights, including Buddhist temples.
Lu Qingchen was still more interested in the guide drum at the moment, and he asked: "Sir, if someone puts the guide drum at night and leads something to the house, how can I crack it?" ”
Wang Liqun said: "That's simple. ”
"What's the easy way?"
"Just hit the man with a hammer on the head. I'm a gentleman, but I'm not a feng shui gentleman, why do you ask this? Wang Liqun is right.
Lu Qingchen was depressed, he remembered the black handprint in front of the door, like a child about to open the door, and his hairs stood on end when he thought of it. Is it related to the "infant spirit" mentioned by Wang Liqun?
Next, Lu Qingchen didn't bother to listen to the class, and kept thinking about related things.
Yuno seemed to see through his doubts, and said in a low voice, "Hey, do you think that the guide drum is on the dirt road in front of the house?" ”
Lu Qingchen said: "I still suspect that it really has to attract something, but I don't know anything. ”
Yuno said: "Don't panic, it's going to be noon soon, let's go to the library to check the materials." ”
Lu Qingchen nodded.
