Chapter XVIII. Human skin music scores
That night, after Balu said something to me and Feng Tiansong in the luxurious presidential suite, he didn't continue to embarrass us, and let us swagger out half an hour later.
It seems that his personality does like to meddle. Just to remind me and Feng Tiansong, stay away from Bolong!
At that time, Feng Tiansong and I returned to the hotel where we were staying. Feng Tiansong is still quite atmospheric, although he was injured by Balu's men, he didn't look back to settle accounts with Balu. Balu was very happy about this, and expressed his willingness to make friends with Feng Tiansong on the spot, and if Feng Tiansong felt angry, Balu was willing to let Feng Tiansong call back at any time.
But when we ask Baloo what he is. This guy started selling off again, saying, don't tell us, it's for our good. In this regard, we had no choice but to give up.
And then things came to an impasse.
For the rest of the day, Feng Tiansong and I stayed in Shanghai for about three or four days with nothing to do. Originally, we planned to return to Fengtian City immediately, and we no longer care about whether Bolong is Bolong or not, and whether it is strange or not. But Xiao Qicai and Shen Xiaoxi still have tasks to do, in order to wait for them, we had to delay in Shanghai for a few more days, but I didn't expect that in just a few days, things have changed even more amazingly!
……
[Major media headlines] -- well-known composer Bolong. 05:49 a.m. Suddenly taken away by the police, the reason was not announced by the police, but it is suspected that it is related to drug use!
After reading this news, Feng Tiansong and I had a hunch that Bo Long's arrest must have something to do with the weird wall in his house, not some drug use!
Of course, everything is just a guess on my part and Feng Tiansong's part!
However...... It didn't take long for the news of this incident to be broken by major media. Xiao Qicai called me and Feng Tiansong to her room at noon that day. Then, she reached out and handed us two copies of A4 paper, and Feng Tiansong and I took them and looked at them. I found that on this copy paper was a sheet of music that Feng Tiansong and I couldn't understand.
When I saw it, I suddenly thought to myself, "Where did you come from?" Searched by Bolong's house? ”
Xiao Qicai nodded, "Do you know why Bolong was taken away by the police?" ”
Feng Tiansong said with great certainty, "I don't know, but it's definitely not drug use!" ”
I watched the two of them and didn't speak.
Xiao Qicai said, "What is the specific crime of Bo Long's arrest, in fact, I don't know very well, but it should be related to the collusion of overseas forces, and it is not drug use at all." But in fact...... That's not the point, the point is, the two sheet music in your hands were found in the secret room of the Bolong family! ”
I was stunned for a moment and said, "So after Bo Long was arrested, the police chiseled open the wall of his house?" ”
Little Qicai said, "That's right! There was nothing in that house, it was empty, not even a bed, a wardrobe or any furniture, just this sheet music! ”
I said, "Looks like there's something wrong with this strange sheet music!" ”
Feng Tiansong said, "These two should be photocopied, right?" The original sheet music was seized by the police? ”
Xiao Qicai suddenly corrected, "The original score is not one!" ”
Feng Tiansong was stunned for a moment and said, "What do you mean?" ”
Xiao Qicai said, "The word "one is not very accurate, because the music score that the police searched out at that time was actually not written on paper." ”
Feng Tiansong and I became more and more confused, and I said, "Where is it written on paper?" ”
Xiao Qicai was silent for a moment, took a deep breath, and said, "Written on a human skin!" ”
Human skin?
I vaguely wondered and asked, "What else have you found?" ”
Xiao Qicai said, "That human skin has been identified by authority and has gone through four processes before it can be preserved. That is, deep burial, sterile, sealed, and constant temperature. Authoritative sources have preliminarily identified that the age of the human skin preserved should be before the Tang Dynasty! Specifically, because the age is too old to be effectively speculated. Now I'm testing it with an instrument, hoping to find it. ”
I thought about it for a moment and said, "In other words, the age of this score has existed since before the Tang Dynasty?" But why should it be written on human skin? ”
Xiao Qicai said, "There is no doubt that this is a musical score before the Tang Dynasty, and what you are holding in your hands now is a stave translated by experts." In fact, what is really remembered on that human skin is this ......" As she spoke, Xiao Qicai took out her mobile phone and let us see it.
On the mobile phone, it is indeed a yellowish and dark human skin, which looks shocking, but what attracts the eye more is the text symbols recorded on the human skin.
Feng Tiansong and I looked at it and shouted almost immediately, "How is it Japanese?" "I don't know what this is trying to say, but it's a Japanese symbol!
Xiao Qicai shook his head and said, "This is not Japanese, but the music score record before the Tang Dynasty!" ”
Feng Tiansong and I were shocked at the same time!
"Japanese characters (kana) were not invented by the Japanese, and most people may think that around the 5th century AD, the Japanese people created a new syllabic script based on kanji, kana. But in fact, the music score of the Tang Dynasty in my country has already appeared 'katakana'! ”
In other words, Japan has long copied the words on Chinese music notation, and on this basis, it has developed into its own country
Special text? Is that really the case? We don't know, but from this sheet music, it is indeed very similar to Japanese.
Xiao Qicai next told us a history of the Tang Dynasty. (Although some people may find this history boring, Feng Tiansong and I listened to it with relish, because behind this history, a very strange thing has appeared, and everything that happened after is interconnected.) )
Here's an allusion to that history.
During the Tang Dynasty, Japan sent students to China to study the culture of the Tang Dynasty at a peak, and the number was also the largest in history. And among these international students, there is a Japanese man who is Kibi Mabi, who is the most famous.
He twice came to China to study with Tang envoys, and he loved music and was proficient in music. When he returned to China for the first time, in addition to bringing back a large number of Buddhist scriptures and the "Great Yan Calendar", he also brought back the musical instrument brass pipe and the "Music Book Record", which played a key role in the introduction of music to Japan during the Tang Dynasty. (These instruments and music books are housed in Shosoin Temple, Nara.) can be found)
Since Kibi Zhenbei is proficient in music, he naturally knows and can play the half-character notation of Yan music. He was also the first scholar to bring the "Essentials of Music Books" back to Japan.
So after he returned to China for the second time, he taught in Taixue. Although the official history of Japan does not explicitly record that Kibi Mabei was the creator of katakana, folklore believes that Kibi Mabei founded katakana based on kanji when he was teaching Taigaku, and this is something that many people in Japan know. Hugh Shuai table tennis talent.
It is likely that Kibi Shinbei was the first to use the notations in the Yanle half-character notation to record Japanese pronunciation in his teaching; Or he was inspired by Yan Le's half-character notation to record Japanese pronunciation in Chinese characters in italics, which became the beginning of katakana. Under his advocacy and influence, he continued to use this method, recording Japanese pronunciation with kanji sideways, and finally perfected and finalized it into today's Japanese katakana.
And just after Kibi Zhenbei created the Japanese script for the first time according to the music score of the Tang Dynasty, a very strange thing happened!
One of the classmates named Watanabe, who was studying abroad with Kibi Shinbei at the time, suddenly committed suicide the next day when he read Kibi Shinbei's text! In the years that followed, Kibi Shinbei was surrounded by suicides one after another! Even today, the Japanese have the highest number of suicides in the world!
When he said this, Xiao Qicai paused, but Feng Tiansong and I had a rather weird and shocked feeling.
Is there a reason why the number of suicides in Japan is higher than in other countries around the world?
Just thinking of this, Xiao Qicai continued, "Think about it, I have to admit that Japan is now one of the richest countries in the world, the social welfare is very good, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and it is said that the happiness index is very high, but for them, such a beautiful country, why do the Japanese like to commit suicide so much?" ”
Speaking of which, the weird feeling in my heart is getting stronger and stronger!
Xiao Qicai said, "That's because when Kibi Zhenbei came back from the Tang Dynasty, the moment the creation of Japanese writing began, there was something that we never knew was happening all the time!" Even today, it has not been figured out! ”
Feng Tiansong and I invariably asked, "What is the matter?" Could it be that everything is because of the score that Kibi Shinbei brought back? ”
Xiao Qicai nodded and said, "I think all the strange things and unexplainable sources are related to that score!" The music recorded on the score has the ability to make people go crazy, even kill each other or kill themselves! And it is precisely because of their words that the Japanese have an inseparable relationship with this song, so to this day, such things are still happening one after another! ”
Feng Tiansong said, "I seem to have read articles like this, and I remember that there was a scholar named Kato Monday who said that Japanese suicides are related to Japanese culture." He also pointed out that the theme of suicide has its own special importance in Japanese culture. Because at the heart of Japanese culture and history there is a tradition of self-destruction. The Japanese worship suicide, which they consider to be a noble act with a clear purpose. On the occasion of giving one's life, one can experience a kind of generous and desolate satisfaction of moral sublimation. ”
At this time, I also suddenly remembered that since World War II, there are three well-known Japanese words in the world: "seppuku", "kamikaze", and "judo", and it is intriguing that two of the three Japanese words are related to suicide in Japan.
Could it be that the real reason lies in the beginning, during the Tang Dynasty, the music score brought back by Kibi Shinbei, the founder of Japanese writing, from the Tang Dynasty?
If everything is true, it is so appalling and shocking!
Because it's not just me, I'm afraid no one has ever thought about the problem of Japanese suicide from this angle!
So what is the human skin music score found in Bolong's house? It...... Is it a score, or something?
At this time, I suddenly remembered what the funny African Balu had said to us in a five-star hotel.
"There is a devil hiding in Bolong's house, don't get any closer, or you will ...... There are no dead bodies! ”
