Chapter 016: Head Rattle

I was so frightened that I flashed back and exclaimed, "What's going on?" ”

Lao Xuan stared at the ceiling of the classroom with a frown, and said softly, "It seems that he doesn't welcome you very much!" ”

"I'm not welcome?" I didn't expect these lights to go out suddenly to have something to do with me.

"Because the strong yang fire aura on your body makes him feel very uncomfortable, he thinks you are a threat to her, and he was just reminding you not to approach!"

I was shocked by Lao Xuan's words, could it be that the ghost thing's sense was so keen, as soon as I entered this classroom, he could feel the yang fire aura on my body.

Moreover, the skill of this ghost creature is really not weak, and it can even affect the items in the yang world, which is not something that ordinary yin spirits can do.

As mentioned before, there is no intersection between the underworld and the yang, and the living people in the yangworld and the yin spirits in the underworld will not meet, and if you want them to intersect, you need to use special methods to do it.

The methods of the yang world are familiar to everyone, spiritualism, exorcism, these things are often used to have an impact on the yin spirit.

If the yin soul in the underworld wants to have an impact on the living people or objects in the yang world, it needs the powerful energy of the yin soul itself, and there are many ways to obtain these energies, some of the yin souls are cultivated through a special method, and some are because the way of death is too unjust and cruel, when the yin soul leaves the yang world, the body contains a lot of resentment, and these resentments become the energy in their bodies in the yin soul's body. And these ghosts who died in vain are generally called unjust ghosts!

The ghost thing in this classroom can directly destroy all the lamps, which shows that the energy he has is really not small, and it also shows that the resentment he has is also very deep!

"Old Xuan, what now?" I asked, turning my head.

Lao Xuan snorted lightly and said, "I'm afraid of a bird's egg, copy the guy and work!" ”

With Lao Xuan by my side, I was much more confident, and immediately took out four candles from my bag and lit them on the four corners of the classroom.

By the time all four candles were lit, the whole classroom had finally become much brighter.

I looked up and saw the blood-red stains on the four walls again, and I felt as if I was in a sea of blood.

In the middle of the classroom, on the empty ceiling, there was still a rope that had been cut by a sharp weapon, which was the place where Jin Siyu's body was hung before, and then the police cut the rope to take Jin Siyu's body down.

As I looked at the empty end of the rope, I couldn't help but think of the horrific sight of the corpses hanging there.

"What are you doing in a daze, don't hurry up and prepare!" Lao Xuan saw that I was stunned and shouted at me.

At this moment, I suddenly saw the candle in the innermost corner of the classroom flickered suddenly, and it was almost extinguished.

I couldn't help but be surprised that when we came in, the doors were closed, and all the windows in the classroom were closed, so there shouldn't be any wind to blow in.

And, most importantly, I was so close to the candle that I didn't feel a hint of wind blowing at all, but why did the candle flicker for no reason?

Just when I was surprised, Lao Xuan suddenly shouted again: "Don't rub it off, work quickly!" ”

I woke up from the trance just now, Lao Xuan handed me a leather bag, I took the leather bag and saw that the leather bag contained an iron cylinder.

I opened the cylinder and saw that it was all sand.

This sand is the tool needed to "print sand marks".

Of course, this is not ordinary sand, I have read in books that the sand used for "printing sand marks" must have been burned with fire beforehand!

Fire is a very magical thing, it is considered to be a special medium that connects the two worlds of yin and yang.

Things in the yang world need to be burned by fire before they can enter the underworld, and every time the world goes to the grave, it is necessary to burn paper money and burn paper, which is the reason.

Everyone also knows that sand cannot be burned, but the sand after the flame barbecue can be regarded as having passed through the ghost gate, and the sand has the breath of the underworld, so it can be used to communicate with the ghosts.

Lao Xuan's tube of sand was obtained after burning it in the fire for seven hundred and forty-nine days.

Some people may ask, why 7749 days?

Because forty-nine days is a period of great reincarnation for a yin soul.

Everyone should know that after death, people first have to go through the first seven "resurrections", the second seven "rebirth", the third seven and forty-seven "scattered seven", the fifth and seventh "return to evil", the sixth and seventh "white rice", and the seventh and seventh "broken seven".

After death, it takes these 7749 days for the Yin Soul to be able to transcend and be reborn.

The same is true for sand, it also takes 7749 days to complete the road of yin and yang, and return to the yang world with the yin energy of the underworld.

These 7749 days are absolutely infallible, one more day, one less day, it will not work!

And during this period, the fire cannot be stopped, and once the flame in the middle is extinguished, it can only be wasted.

Therefore, it is really not easy for Lao Xuan to get this tube of sand.

I first took out the dragon ruler and lit the ghost cave in the classroom, as soon as the dragon ruler was taken out, the pointer immediately pointed towards the center of the classroom, and there seemed to be a strong magnetic field in the center of the classroom that was attracting the dragon ruler.

That is where Jin Siyu died, and it seems that there is nothing wrong with this dragon ruler.

I went to the center of the classroom, poured the sand from the iron cylinder on the ground, and then spread the sand flat out into a thin layer, as thick as a sheet of paper.

There wasn't much sand in a single iron cylinder, but I spread it out to nearly two square meters, and the gap between the sand was so uniform that there was no vacancy.

Lao Xuan looked at my results and nodded with satisfaction, "Yes, it's material for being a mason!"

I gave him a blank look, wondering when I was still in the mood to joke.

Lao Xuan took out a small cloth bag from his body, then opened the cloth bag and took out a small drum from it and handed it to me.

This is a rattle, that is, the kind of toy that children often play with when shaken, and the merchants who used to sell goods often walked the streets and alleys with the rattle to attract people's attention.

The rattle, known as the tao in ancient times, was often used as a musical instrument. However, because the rattle was too monotonous to complete the complex rhythm, it was later replaced by other musical instruments and could only be reduced to a child's toy.

However, you may not know that the original purpose of this rattle is not a toy, but a tool to ward off evil spirits!

The time when the rattle appeared, the time that can be verified has been at least 2,000 years, at the beginning, the rattle was not what it is now, and the material used in the drum surface was not cowhide and sheepskin, but - human head!

Skulls, to be exact!

And the drum ears used in the original rattle are not the current glass balls or jujube pits, but human teeth!

The original rattle was made up of human hair passed through the two eye sockets of the skull, and then the ends of the hair were tied with human teeth, usually front teeth, so that the original rattle was formed.

When they use it, they insert their hands into the skull, so that the skull sways from side to side, and the teeth tied to the hair make a sound on the skull, and it is believed that the sound produced by this thing can be used to summon spirits and ward off evil spirits, which is also the main way that the earliest people used to summon spirits and ward off evil spirits.

In fact, there are still people who have passed down this tradition, such as the Dongba religion of the Naxi people, and I still use this method to dance gods and drive away evil spirits. In addition, there is also the area of Jiaxiang County in southwest Luxi, where it is also very common to use this kind of thing to worship and ward off evil spirits.

Now, of course, they're not using a head rattle, it's just a regular rattle.

You can imagine in your mind how people from a long time ago swayed from side to side with a skull in their hands.

And now, the same thing, but in a more acceptable way now, has become a toy that everyone has grown up with, what a strange thing.

I took the rattle handed over by Lao Xuan, and I found that this rattle didn't look so simple.

I took the rattle and looked at it carefully, it looked small, only the size of my palm, and it had two sides, one white and one black.

The drum surface of this drum is made of a very special material, like the skin of some animal, but it is not like the usual cowhide, sheepskin or snake skin, which is much more delicate than them.

When I looked at the drum strings on both sides of the drum frame, I was surprised to see that the drum strings were actually made of hair.

And when I picked up the two drum ears and looked at them, I was stunned that the two drum ears of this drum were actually made of human teeth!

I can't believe that the drum in my hand is a copy of the original human head shake!

It's just that Lao Xuan made it more acceptable.

It's just that I'm curious about what kind of material these two drum surfaces, one black and one white, are made of.

I asked curiously, "Lao Xuan, what is the drum surface of your rattle made of?" ”

Lao Xuan glanced at me with an extremely gloomy gaze, and then said in a low voice, "You won't want to know. ”

There was a buzz in my head and I understood everything immediately.

It seems that this rattle is exactly the original form, in order to make this drum play its maximum ability, the two drum faces of this drum, Lao Xuan must be made of human skin!
