About half an hour later, a burly wizard about fifty years old followed Wu Dai over, came closer, bowed to Qin Di and Ao Ying, and said, "In Xia Wu Drum, I have seen two great musicians!"

Qin Di hurriedly said, "Please take a seat, Master Wu Drum, who gave you this name?"

Wu Gu's hair fell out a little, and the top of his head was half bald, and he smiled when he heard this: "Wu Gu is not my original name, it is equivalent to an official position." Each generation of our Wuxian country has a Wu drum, although my level of drumming is very low, but I am slightly stronger than others, so I took on this responsibility. When I am old, I will pass on this name to my children and grandchildren. But unfortunately, my son died young, so he can only pass it on to his disciples! Wu Dai is also one of the candidates, but he still can't play the drum, and if he wants to make a drum, he has to practice for two or three years!"

Wu Dai said: "Master, you are not old, continue to work hard, you may have children when you are old." ”

Wu Gu ignored what he said, bowed to Ao Ying and said, "I heard Wu Dai say, you are a drumming musician, can you take me as an apprentice?" I am willing to give all my family property to learn to play the drum!"

Ao Ying glanced at him and replied with a smile: "Forget about the apprentices!" You take out the cowhide for writing, whether you can understand it or not, I will teach you to play the drum." But I only teach you one day a month, no more than two years before and after. Whether you can learn it or not depends on your own creation!"

When Wu Gu heard this, he knelt on the ground, bowed heavily, kowtowed three times, and shouted, "Thank you, master! As long as you teach me for one day, you will be my master, whether you recognize it or not!" As he spoke, he took out a fragrant sandalwood box from his body, and when he opened it, it was a roll of kraft paper.

Ao Ying took it and was stupid with just one glance!

"Xianggong, this job is up to you!"

Qin Di took it and spread it out, looked at it intently, and saw that what was written on it was not words, but symbols, these symbols were like oracle bone inscriptions, and like some kind of runes, he opened his eyes wide for a while to identify them, and he could only guess a few. And there are at least three or four thousand words on this brown paper.

Wu Gu looked at him with hope and asked, "Sir, do you know what is written on it?"

Qin Di replied calmly: "This is a very ancient character, and I can't make it out for a while, but after slowly guessing, it can still be parsed." Can I rub a copy of these runes?"

Wu Gu smiled heartily and said, "Sir, you don't need to rub it up! I'll put the kraft paper here and come back to pick it up in a few days." To be honest, it's useless for me to keep it, and every day I look at it, my eyes are wide and I don't think about it, and I become sick of my heart! If it goes on like this, I will definitely die early! If it weren't for the things handed down by my ancestors, I really want to burn it with a fire!"

Qin Di couldn't use mana, and he didn't even want to use his divine sense, so he took pen and ink, traced those runes, and returned the kraft paper to the other party. He knew that although Wu Gu said so, if he really wanted to leave the brown paper, this guy might have even more trouble sleeping!

Wu Gu took the kraft paper and put it away carefully, and said with a smile in his mouth: "Thank you, Mr. Qin, for bothering you." ”

Since Ao Ying promised to teach the other party to play the drum, he taught it for an hour that day, and asked the witch drum to go back to practice and come back in a month. After all, she is from the Xianyin Sect, and teaching a little content casually is enough for Wu Drum practice for a long time.

The witch drum was very happy, thanked him, and left.

Qin Di continued to ponder those runes, but after spending several days of effort, he couldn't make out too many. After all, he is not an expert in paleographies, and he has not learned these things, so it is still difficult to guess.

So, he entered the cave and asked Shi Babao and others for advice.

As a great master of refining, Shi Babao didn't know much about these runes.

Fang Jiu Fu was the Great Talisman Grandmaster, and after taking a look, he said, "This is a very ancient witch immortal eclipse, which was extinct hundreds of thousands of years ago, or even millions of years ago. Because I studied runes, I flipped through all the classics of the Immortal Rune Sect, and saw some related content, so I could recognize a small half of the text. ”

Qin Di was overjoyed when he heard this: "Thank you, Master, please mark the words you know." ”

Fang Jiufu looked at those runes intently, and finally marked out one thousand and one thousand words, and there were still more than three hundred words that he couldn't read, so he could barely write them down and put them next to him.

Qin Di took these records as if he had found a treasure, and then went to consult Dayan Seventy-three.

As a result, Dayan Seventy-three smiled slightly, and soon unraveled all the remaining words easily!

Qin Di was shocked when he saw this: "Master, you are really amazing!How can you be so familiar with this kind of writing?"

Dayan Seventy-three said with a smile: "Our Dayan lineage, in addition to the formation is divination, divination is also the main means for the Wu family to walk in the world. Therefore, in some places, there is no separation between witches and Taos, and there are Taos in witches, and there are witches in Tao. Because of this, we must also be familiar with this kind of witch immortal eclipse, it is said that when we reach the heavenly realm, some places rely on the witch immortal eclipse to remember. ”

"Master, I want to learn the Wu Immortal Eclipse from you, please teach me!"

Dayan Seventy-three handed him a piece of jade slip and said, "This is the etching text I sorted out, and there is a comparison with our commonly used words, you can just take it and ponder it for a few days." ”

"Thank you, master!"

Qin Di happily walked out of the cave, handed the jade slip to Ao Ying, and asked her to write the contents on the paper word by word.

And he himself began to ponder the words that had been rubbed out of vellum.

After going through it from beginning to end, he realized that it was indeed an article about drums, including how to make and beat drums. The better the material used to make the drum, the more powerful the drum will be. Most of the drums in the world are made of cowhide. The drums used by the Wu family often use dragons, that is, crocodile skin. The drums of the fairy family are mostly made of cowhide.

Yunmeng Daze has Kui Niu, also known as the Thunder Beast, it is said that there is only one leg, pale gray, there must be wind and rain in and out of the water, it can make a thunderous sound, and accompanied by the light of the sun and the moon, its roar is as deafening as thunder. If you use its skin as a drum and its bones as drumsticks, you can get a big drum of the spirit level or even the spirit treasure level.

After the article talks about drum making, there are several ancient songs behind, one Wentian drum is used for witch family sacrifices, one is a heaven-shaking drum that boosts morale and captures the opponent during wartime, and there is a twilight drum that is knocked every evening, which has the effect of warding off evil spirits and driving away ghosts. The remaining songs are also related to the Wu clan's killing and fighting, and can also be used as a means for the immortals to capture and kill people, if you have a good drum, and then learn these war songs, you can spread the sound for five hundred miles, so that the enemy within five hundred miles is terrified.

Regarding drum music, there are also some inheritances in the Xianyin Gate, and if it is combined with the drum music of the Wu family, the content becomes even richer.

Qin Di wrote out two-thirds of the translated content and handed it to Wu Gu, and the reason why he discounted it by one-third was because he was now a disciple of Xianyinmen, representing the interests of Xianyinmen, and he should collect the content related to Xianyin and prevent it from being transmitted to other sects. Wu Xianguo has no masters, and even if they leave all the repertoire, these people will not be able to play it completely, and if they don't do it, it may bring disaster to them.

It's okay if the tune on the vellum is not translated, but once it is translated, it becomes a disaster. Rather than causing trouble for these little witches and eventually spreading the drum music to other sects, it is better to simply take out only two-thirds, which is enough for the Wu family's sacrifice.

After getting the drum music, the witch drum was very excited and hurriedly ran back.

Soon, Wu Xi, the king of Wuxian State, led more than a dozen princes and ministers under his command to come to the place where Qin Di lived to thank him, and sent a lot of gold and silver utensils, cattle, sheep, melons and fruits.

Qin Di accepted it unceremoniously, because the house was very small, and he didn't invite these people into the house, so he talked to everyone in the courtyard.

The monarch Wuxi was very respectful: "God blesses our country to have two great musicians! This is the supreme glory of Wu Xianguo! Xiao Wang personally came here because he wanted to invite two great musicians to my palace for a banquet! It is a great blessing to be able to retrieve the drum music, and it should be feasted for three days and the whole country will celebrate together!"

Qin Di politely declined: "Just drink the banquet." I just want to live in seclusion and live the rest of my life in peace. ”

Wuxi didn't move, so he had to walk back with everyone with an unhappy expression.

Since then, every New Year's holiday, someone has sent gifts to the door, and no one dares to disturb Qin Di's quiet life.

Qin Di let go of his body and mind, lived idly on the bank of the Wuxian River, often sat in a lounge chair, while reading a book, while watching the boats coming and going in the river, transporting a load of salt with white flowers to other places.

Five years have passed, and Wu Gu has learned the Wentian Drum, although it is still only a beginner, and it cannot hit the essence of the drum, but participating in the annual sacrifice has gained more and more benefits.

According to him, after attending the sacrifice before, he didn't feel anything. And after he learned the Wentian Drum, the first year he participated in the sacrifice, he felt that his body was a lot stronger, his spirit was much better than before, and the whole person seemed to have become younger.

In the third year of the festival, his appearance changed, the thinning hair on the top of his head became thicker, and the whole person seemed to be five years younger.

After attending the sacrifice in the fifth year, his wife, who was over fifty years old, became pregnant!

This made him simply ecstatic, and brought all kinds of gifts to thank Master Xie and Qin Di.

Qin Di confiscated his gifts, but he was moved by what he said about the annual sacrifice of Wuxian Kingdom.

He knew in his heart: "This may be another sacrifice similar to the Cloud Prayer Conference or the Immortal Fire Festival, but because the scale of the sacrifice is insufficient, or the skill of the wizard of the main priest is not enough, and the level of auxiliary music and dance is too low, it cannot arouse enough compassion from the Heavenly Realm Great Witch, so it has not been able to make the people participating in the sacrifice very shocking." But these conditions can all be changed! The most important thing is that the bloodline of the Wu family has not been severed!"

Because he had just made great progress, he didn't want to get involved in this kind of sacrifice for the time being, so he didn't say it, but just asked Ao Ying to continue to teach the witch drum beating method.
