Chapter 282: Animal Talisman
The corridor in the basement was winding, when we came in, it was not a straight line, and now the lights are dark, and we can't help but find the way, and before we find the door, we hear the crisp sound of chains outside.
"Someone can't lock the door from the outside, won't we be able to get out?" The young master's face changed miserably.
Not long after the young master got rid of the fear of hitting ghosts, he encountered being trapped in the basement again, which was really not ordinary bad luck, regardless of whether he was bold or timid before, now he is indeed a little irresistible.
I said, "Let's go over and see what the situation is, it's not certain." ”
After two more forks in the road, we finally found the thick iron gate, which was dead, and we tried to pull it, but it didn't move.
This basement is just below the hotel, and although the iron door is still some distance from the stairs, it is not particularly far, and if there is a big movement here, it must be heard from above.
Thinking of this, I hit the iron door directly, the flesh and blood hit the iron plate, and the bones of my whole body ached, although I just hit it with my body, and did not hit my head, but there were auditory hallucinations in my ears, and when I hit the door panel, I actually heard a pig scream, or the kind of scream when killing pigs,
I thought I was stunned, and I didn't think much about it, I took a few steps back, and I hit it again, and I didn't know why, I actually heard a pig cry again.
When I was about to hit it a third time, the young master grabbed me: "Brother, don't be stupid, you can't hit such a thick iron door." ”
I said, "I'm not going to crash into it, I'm just going to bump it out, so that people outside will come and save us when they know that someone is trapped inside, and there are so many people living in this hotel, as long as there is a nosy person, we will be saved."
This is the basement, there is soundproofing treatment outside, shouting must be not enough sound, can only rely on the collision. ”
I thought that after I explained, the young master would praise me for being smart, but the young master still laughed at me for being a fool.
The young master said, "Can you grow your brains?" If you want to make a noise, there are ways to use your body to crash into death, and you are not afraid of hitting yourself. ”
"Do you have a better way?" I asked.
"Nonsense!" As he spoke, the young master began to rummage through the piles of goods.
I asked him, "What are you looking for?" Can there be artillery battles in it? ”
The young master said: "Find out if there is anything iron, knock on the iron door with an iron utenvelope, and the sound will definitely sound." ”
I said, "I'm stupid enough, but you're not very smart, just leave what you have ready and don't use it, and rummage through the cabinets here." ”
Then I gracefully walked back to the place where we had turned around, and the broom, dustpan, and mop we had thrown there when we were running, and the broomsticks, mop rods, and dustpans were all metal, and although I am not sure if they were iron, they were certainly fine for knocking on doors.
When I went back to pick up the broom, dustpan, and mop, I smelled the musty stench again, as if something was rotting in front of me, but I was so busy running for my life that I didn't look into what it was, I picked it up and went back to the door.
I divided the points with the young master, and the two of them copied the tools, and began to bang violently, and in a burst of metal knocking, it was mixed with the screams of killing pigs again.
What's going on? Is it an auditory hallucination in my ears?
After knocking a few more times, I grabbed the young master and motioned him to slow down for a while and knock again, the young master threw the mop rod on the ground and kept plucking his ears with his hands: "Are all the people living upstairs deaf, my ears are almost deaf, why don't any of them come down?" ”
I plucked out my ears and asked him, "Did you just hear any strange noises?" ”
The young master thought about it and said, "Strange sound, I really heard it, it seems that some animal is barking, and the cry is heartbreaking, and it is miserable." ”
Well, since the young master also heard it, it's not a problem with my ears, the young master is from the city, and he has never seen a pig killed, and he has never heard a pig bark, which is normal. But what is the matter with this pig cry, why is it that when we knock on the door, there is a pig cry mixed in, and when we don't knock, there is no sound again.
With a stomach full of doubts, we tried several more times, and indeed, as soon as we knocked on the door, there was a sound of pigs screaming, just like a pig butcher waiting for us outside the door, as soon as we knocked on the door, he began to kill the pig, and the pig began to scream on time.
This, what's going on? It's not like this door is an old pig who has become a sperm, right?
In this unfortunate basement, listening to the heart-rending pig cries, soon, the young master who does not believe in evil began to believe in evil again, saying that maybe before the construction of this hotel, this was a slaughterhouse, so this place has too many unwilling souls of pigs, hearing my crazy knock on the door here, they began to scream and echo us, because they were also desperately locked up here.
I said: "The slaughterhouse slaughters all the pigs from the pig farm, those pigs are slaughtered in a few months, not even the one who is over one year old, and it can't reach the level of refinement. ”
The young master was still unconvinced: "Isn't there still a wild boar?" Wild boars must have souls. ”
I didn't bother to explain it to him, and I didn't dare to expect any reliable suggestions and guesses from someone like him who was engaged in art, so I decided to figure it out for myself.
Both the impact and the pig cry occur at the same time, and the pig scream obviously overshadows our knocking sound, is there any way to achieve this effect?
It's too simple, this is basically not a Tao, it's just a trick used by those charlatans in the past, and it's the simplest animal talisman.
The crook will get a few stupid birds, saying that it is an extremely rare species, and the sounds of animals are more realistic than parrots, and when those who love to carry cage birds are attracted to it, the crook will say that they will sell these sacred birds at a high price.
Those rich children who like to play with birds naturally want to try it for themselves to see if the bird is really so good, at this time, you need to use animal charms.
The bird keeper will lay the animal charm at the bottom of the cage in advance, as long as the bird moves casually, it will step on the charm, and the rune paper will make a sound, of course, this also has a disadvantage, that is, it cannot control the specific position of the bird, so only one symbol can be placed in a cage.
Birds only have one animal call, which naturally can't impress those fun-loving rich young masters, so they have to get a few more at a time, usually six or seven, or even a dozen, there are common cattle, sheep, pigs and dogs, as well as uncommon lions, tigers, wolves and leopards.
It's really interesting to think of a group of stupid and cute birds, roaring out of the sound of a lion and tiger in a jump, and this is really quite unusual in the era when there is no recording equipment.
But now there is no market for this at all, and now just hide a small sounding toy in the cage, which can be more exciting than the animal talisman, so no one believes in this thing.
Master Zhao will occasionally draw a few pieces, put them in those paper paste pigs and sheep and other sacrifices, buyers before burning to the ancestors, pat the paper products, those fake pigs and fake sheep followed by a few calls, it is also a little interesting, we can also appropriately raise the price.
This thing is very simple, I can draw, but the pig cry I put in the painting is relatively ordinary, not the scream of killing the pig.
The sound of the animal talisman is generally triggered by the impact, depending on the strength of your impact, the harder you hit, the louder the animal talisman will scream, and there is a huge sound in the outside world, the animal talisman will also make a sound, as if these animals are really frightened.
Now the animal talisman on the door is naturally pasted by the people who have locked us up here, and it is pasted outside, and we have no way to tear it off, the purpose is to prevent us from tossing.
This is originally a basement, and even if we tossed around enough and someone outside heard it, at most they thought there was a slaughterhouse nearby, and complained about a few noise pollutions, and no one would dig into it.
It's really a clever trick, basically no cost, it's better than tying up the two of us, but using this trick against me is really a little underestimating me, buddy is not so vain.
