Chapter Forty-Six: The Human Face Drum
I turned sharply and looked in the direction from which the sound had come from, and faintly saw a dark shadow flash and disappear into the courtyard.
"Mouse?"
I'm a little unsure, judging by the size, it looks a lot like a cat.
Turning around, I looked at the drum in my hand again, the drum surface was smooth and flat, and the face was gone.
Coming out of the alley, I saw Huang Feng waiting on the side of the road at a glance, and his eyes brightened a lot when he saw the drum in my hand.
"Is there any explanation for this drum?" I walked over and handed the drum to Huang Feng.
After Huang Feng took it, he gently rubbed the drum surface, and his eyes became brighter.
"It's a human skin drum!"
But the next moment, Huang Feng's words made me break the gong directly.
"What?"
I shook my hand and got goosebumps on my arm.
Although I am a second-hand leatherman, I am used to seeing corpses, but what I do is to give dignity to the deceased, and I have never done anything to desecrate the corpse.
When I remember that I had rubbed the drum surface before, and I still felt that the drum surface was smooth and silky, I was extremely uncomfortable.
Huang Feng looked at me with a smile and continued; "The drum face is made of pure girl's skin, and the drum body is made of the girl's skull, and this drum is a high-quality human skin drum!"
When Huang Feng said this, I felt even more uncomfortable.
As if to make it more uncomfortable for me, Huang Feng continued; "Most of these drums are used to worship the gods. In order to show reverence for God, the girl needed to make the drum face must be a pure girl who is not disturbed by the world. This kind of girl is better to be mute who cannot communicate with people, only in this way can she be considered a pure girl. When the chosen girls are not mute, they tend to have their tongues cut out and become mute! ”
"Grass!"
I scolded, which bastard invented this kind of perverted method.
"By the way, just now the drum itself sounded, and a face that looks like a man for three points and a mouse for seven points surfaced!" I said.
"You mean, the drums are blowing?"
Huang Feng was suddenly interested.
"Hmm!"
I nodded, and recounted what I had just encountered.
Huang Feng thought for a while and said: "You know, many things have the ability to communicate yin and yang, such as bells, drums, candles, and incense, among which drums bear the brunt, especially the shamans in the north, when they dance the gods, they will hang bells around their waists and hold drums in their hands.
When something with yin properties appears, some phenomena will appear in these items, such as a lit candle that will self-extinguish without wind, a bell that rings without wind, and an incense that floats without wind.
The drum is originally an object that passes through yin and yang, not to mention that it is still a personal skin drum, and there are two possibilities for a human face, one is that someone close to you has died, and his face is shown on the drum, and the other is that someone wants your life, and the drum shows his face to warn you! ”
"Someone is going to kill me?"
I thought of the coffin that I knocked over again, and told Huang Feng about my guess.
"Since the matter started because of me, I will take care of the matter this time!"
Huang Feng tapped the drum surface, glanced at the alley behind me, and said, "Get in the car, let's go back to the store first!" ”
"Why do you want to give me 200,000?"
After getting in the car, I asked another question in my mind.
Huang Feng can give me a thousand yuan, or ten thousand yuan, two hundred thousand is too much.
Is he running out of money and has nowhere to spend it, or is he trying to stun me with money?
I don't know this clearly, and I'm never sure.
"Buddhism emphasizes cause and effect, and the vast majority of people in the Xuanmen also value cause and effect!"
Huang Feng rubbed the drum noodles and said: "This drum, take it outside to sell, it is worth 200,000, this 200,000 is still priceless, I will give you 200,000 because it is worth this money!" ”
Speaking of this, he paused for a moment and said, "If I send you away with a thousand dollars, I seem to save 200,000, but I actually owe you 200,000." This fruit has to be returned! If I don't pay it back, it will turn into a catastrophe on my cultivation path in the future! ”
"It's like doing business, it's obviously 200,000 yuan, I bought it for 1,000 yuan, and after you know the true value of the goods, will you be willing?" Huang Feng asked.
"No!"
I shook my head, I have clear grievances, if I don't know it, I was deceived by someone like this 200,000, I don't know, I don't know, I will definitely find an opportunity to take revenge back.
I already understand what Huang Feng means, just like he said before, fair trade, win-win cooperation.
He doesn't want to owe me, but I don't want to owe him either.
Grandpa often said when he was alive that good will be rewarded with good, and evil will be rewarded with evil, which is the same meaning.
"Isn't that the end of it!"
Huang Feng smiled and said: "Actually, you don't have to think too much, my cooperation with you is mutually beneficial and win-win, this is the biggest difference between me and Gong Fengnian!" ”
After returning to the store, Huang Feng glanced at the time and said, "It's still early, wait for another two hours, and we'll put incense to welcome guests!" ”
At twelve o'clock in the morning, Huang Feng got up.
First, take out a bowl of white rice that has been prepared for a long time, then take out three sticks of incense, light it, insert the incense on the white rice, and then place the rice bowl at the door.
After it is arranged, sprinkle incense ash along the doorway, a positive triangle, an inverted triangle, and the two triangles are connected and extend into the house.
After getting all this done, Huang Feng clapped his hands, moved a chair and sat down, made a gesture of please, and said: "Lack of money and food, say it, if there is more, let you live a good life for ten days and half a month, you can still do it, but if you are looking for something and tie the beam, I will take it!" ”
These words are neither humble nor arrogant, and there is a hint of unkindness.
It also means that Huang Feng really took over the matter.
He did that, and I regretted telling him a little.
Just as he said cause and effect, what is the cause, what is the effect.
I have already felt it since Huang Feng explained to me that he didn't need to tell me some Xuanmen knowledge, but he not only said it, but also said it in detail.
This time I took this again, and he was a little too nice to me.
I don't think Huang Feng is a good person, people like him are actually very realistic, just like he said about fair trade, in the eyes of people like him, there is no affection, only interests.
The better he treats me, the more I will need to pay back in the future, and this is an equivalent exchange.
As soon as the words fell, the three sticks of incense on the rice bowl burned down at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if someone was eating fragrant.
After eating fragrant, it means that you can talk, I am silent, waiting for the other party to open conditions.
The three incense sticks burned out, bringing up a gust of wind and blowing into the house, and the incense ashes on the ground were pulled by the wind and fell in front of me, forming four words: I want him to be my brother's horse!
