A month later, Cheng Yuping called Qi Luoling, and from her tone, she seemed to know a little about the content of the devil's sad song. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Qi Luoling eagerly asked her to meet, and the meeting place was still the same coffee shop.

When I arrived at the café, it was still the same, Qi Luoling ordered a cup of mocha coffee, and Cheng Yuping ordered a cup of cappuccino coffee.

After meeting, the two of them said a few words. Qi Luoling was very anxious and couldn't wait to get to the point, but on the surface, she tried her best to hide her excitement and nervousness.

"About you, I have carefully inquired about some important figures in the music industry, such as professors from the academy, folk musicians, including famous music media people, and so on." Cheng Yuping seemed to see her thoughts and said lightly.

"Thank you, have you found out the whereabouts of that tune?"

"Nope." Cheng Yuping shook his head, and continued: "The whereabouts are unknown, but I inquired about some rumors about this song. ”

"What rumors?"

"Before I talk about those rumors, I want to ask you a few questions."

"Yes."

"First of all, are you sure you only heard this song in a dream?"

"Yes."

"You haven't heard this song in reality?"

Qi Luoling hesitated, he had heard that music twice in total.

The first time was played by the Jew in a dream of a car accident, and the second time was played by the man who was the messenger of the devil's music in the suburbs. Although the second time is not exactly a dream, it is also an illusion, and it is not a real reality.

So Qi Luoling nodded.

"The melody of that piece is unusually sad, isn't it?"

"Yes," Qi Luoling nodded.

"And the person who played it was Jewish, right?"

Qi Luoling looked at her in astonishment.

"How do you know? I didn't tell you anything about the Jews at that time. “

"Not only did I know that the player was Jewish, but I also knew that the people who listened to it in reality were all dead."

"What do you mean? I do not quite understand. “

"I'm sorry, I didn't make it clear. I would like to say that in Shanghai in 1947, someone once heard a young Jew play this sad song called the Devil once. “

"And then?" Qi Luoling was very excited, if there was really this song, it was not that she came up with it out of her own whims.

"At that time, there were four people listening to his performance, and I heard that his wife died at that time, and the whereabouts of his children were unknown, so he was in a very sad mood, so the music he played was also very sad, and that kind of sadness was very unbearable, so ......." Cheng Yuping wanted to speak and stopped.

"So what?"

"All four of them came home and all died within a week."

"All dead? How did he die? “

"Two committed suicide, one died in a car accident, and one was killed."

"How so?" Qi Luoling couldn't believe it.

"Maybe that's the negative effect of music. People around the world have never hesitated to praise the positive effects of music, but they have turned a blind eye to its negative effects. Have you seen the movie "Love in Budapest"? “

Qi Luoling shook her head.

"This is a German-Hungarian collaboration between a romantic film that tells the story of a delicate and ambiguous relationship between three people who are broken in the context of a war-torn era. In the play, the young and talented Andrásh wrote a poignant song "Melancholy Sunday" especially for Ilona's birthday. This piece opens the hearts of the listeners, and its melancholy goes deeper into the hearts of the bosom friends, and several people in the play commit suicide after listening to this song. “

"It's just a movie, the plot is fictional, right?"

"No, this show is based on a true story. That song "Melancholy Sunday" is also known as "Black Sunday". It was born in France in 1932 by the legendary Hungarian self-taught composer Rurence Charles. It is said that "Melancholy Sunday" was created by Lulance Charles after his girlfriend broke up in a state of extreme sorrow. It is recognized as one of the three banned songs in the world. “

"Why is it called a forbidden song?"

"Because in the 13 years of this song's existence, people who have listened to it have committed suicide. The number of suicides is in the hundreds. The suicide victims all left suicide notes, saying that they committed suicide because they couldn't stand the extremely sad melody. At the same time, countless guitar, piano and other artists have played this song and since then. “

"Huh? It's so scary! Qi Luoling exclaimed.

Of course, the first person recorded to commit suicide was a British military officer, who was resting quietly at home and accidentally began to listen to the "Black Sunday" of the postman's turntable, and when he listened to this song, his soul was so strongly stimulated that his mood could no longer be calmed. After a while, he took out the pistol at home and ended his life. After a thorough investigation and speculation, the police came to a conclusion: he was indeed a suicide, but this "Black Sunday" was an indirect killer! And warn people not to listen to the music. Because the police almost committed suicide when they listened to this music! Then it caused a sensation throughout Europe, and people felt incredible, frightened and curious, and many people who thought they were mentally fit were curious to collect and experience it for themselves, and to explore. “

Cheng Yuping took a sip of coffee and continued: "One of the middle-aged men in the United States, after listening to the song "Black Sunday" for a few days, shot himself, and wrote in his last words: "Please take this song as the mourning music of my funeral." Then the news of similar suicides came one after another, and the whole world was panicked from Europe to the United States to Asia. At that time, a very prominent celebrity in Europe was attending a music recital, and he insisted that one of the musicians present play the "Black Sunday" on the piano, and the pianist refused to agree at first, but under the pressure and demands of the curious audience, he had to play. At the end of the performance, the pianist vowed to never touch the piano again! And the celebrity who made the request has since disappeared incognito. “

"Is this piece still there?"

"It was destroyed back in 1945. Since the suicides have been frequent, all countries around the world have begun to destroy all information about this music. Its author was also very guilty on his deathbed. He said that he did not expect this music to cause such a catastrophe to mankind, which was not his original intention. ”

"Didn't you just say the three forbidden songs? And two? ”

"Yes, the world's three banned songs refer to the three songs cursed by God in the history of Western music, in addition to the "Black Sunday" just mentioned, there are also "Requiem of Confession" and "The Thirteenth Pair of Eyes".

"What's going on with Requiem?"

"Requiem of Confession, written by an American, is said to have been written on the day of his death, a seemingly ordinary religious atonement that has resulted in thousands of suicides. Therefore, it was also named "Demon Song". The suicide is nothing more than the most devout believers, they confess their sins to God at the same time, and at the same time, they are more and more unbearable to endure the painful reality of life to give their own retribution and punishment, so they have chosen to end the life of suffering, believers believe in the existence of heaven, and are more glad to accept God's recall. In the "Requiem of the Confession", death is no longer terrible, the sooner it comes, the sooner liberation is achieved, and the believers can't wait to leave hell on earth and ascend to the ideal heaven. ”

Qi Luoling felt the wind behind her, and goosebumps rose.

"The Thirteenth Pair of Eyes" is said to have originated from the primitive tribes of Africa, and it is a mysterious music, and the composer's creative intentions are no longer traceable. It is said that in the mid-20th century, a tribe in Cameroon committed mass suicide after listening to this song, and for this reason, "The Thirteenth Pair of Eyes" was banned from singing, and the authorities jointly destroyed all the manuscript scores collected, but a small part of the score still survived. Later, around 1991, a well-known musician secretly bought and collected it, went home to play and sing to himself, listened to the only remaining fragment of the score, tore off the score in his hand, and then jumped out of the window, and since then, all news related to "The Thirteenth Pair of Eyes" has completely disappeared with the extinction of the score. ”

"And the song 'The Devil's Sorrow' I was looking for was also cursed by God like them?"

"According to my findings, the song "The Devil's Sorrow" is also a very poignant and long tune, and the weak-willed people simply cannot bear this kind of sadness. The only thing to be thankful for was that the young Jewish man had only played once and never played again, and because he stopped in time to avoid causing an even greater tragedy. ”

"I wonder why just one piece of music can have such an impact on people. Are there any other indirect causes? ”

"Your question is well asked, for example, in addition to the sadness of the song, of course, there are external reasons."

"What is the reason?"

"Like, why do some people commit suicide and others don't? At this point, there are first individual differences. Some people are very psychologically suggestive and easily receptive to relevant stimuli; When he receives the relevant stimulus, he will mobilize all the defenses of his body to make a state of wisdom, and then produce the relevant response. “

"Is there any environmental impact?"

"You're quite right, for example, the time when the piece was written, which happened to be during World War II. It was a very special period, economically, it was in the Great Depression, many people were unemployed at home, they had no food and clothing, and politically, there were frequent wars, people were displaced, and families were ruined. After many people go through this, they become people with a strong sense of psychological suggestion. It can be said that the music may also be just a trigger, and the reason why people really commit suicide is because of their spiritual pain. ”

"Then why am I okay when I hear that song "The Devil's Sorrow"?"

"I've just said that you've only heard it in your dreams, not in reality, so its influence on you will be weakened."

"You haven't heard anything else about that 'Devil's Sorrow'?"

Cheng Yuping shook his head, "Since then, no one has heard this tune again." Then the Jewish man disappeared and never heard the piano piece again. ”

The two of them were silent, drinking the coffee in their hands.

"Actually, I haven't figured out why music has such a big impact on a person's thinking and emotions?" Qi Luoling stared at the cup in his hand and muttered to himself.

Cheng Yuping thought for a while and said: "This involves the category of philosophy, and I don't know much about this aspect, but I happen to have a senior brother who is a professor at a university, and he is currently studying the topic of the influence of music on people's thinking and emotions." The day after tomorrow I will pass by their school, and I will introduce him to you at that time, and you can hear his opinion. “

Qi Luoling nodded.
