Chapter 11 The Drums Through Time and Space
After Zhang Qiling asked that sentence, he took out a rope from his bag and tied it to the ears on the waist of the copper drum, which is called a divine drum, grabbed the rope and shook the drum to the center of the faintly visible sun pattern in the center of the ground, and drank at the same time. One sound:
"Drink!"
The sound immediately echoed in the cave, and echoed in the cave over and over again. Most of the people who came down together had a hard time imagining that Zhang Qiling's seemingly well-proportioned figure and his silent temperament could make such a bold and powerful voice. sound.
The bronze drum is precisely stuck in the middle of the sun pattern groove, the groove is not deep, just enough to keep the bronze drum from rolling.
The next moment, Zhang Qiling pulled out another long hemp rope with a knot in the bag, and did something that A Ning and others seemed to be unimaginable and impossible.
He actually used this rope to hit the bronze drum from a long distance in the air.What kind of arm and waist strength is needed to complete this action!Even Lian Jiazi, who has practiced Neijia Kungfu, can't do it like him, hanging in the air and sitting still, the rope in his hand is beating the drum like a spirit snake.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!!" The drum sounded regularly, echoing in the cave, and the rhythm and the echoes subtlely rubbed against each other, forming a sound full of ancient and vigorous rhythms, solemn and distant.
In front of this solemn and distant voice, people suddenly seem small, and this is, the wizard of the Dong nationality issued an indistinct, sometimes hoarse and sometimes high-pitched rhythm from his throat.
At this moment, Zhang Qiling shook the rope that was hanging him three times, which was a signal to continue lowering him. The rope was lowered slowly until it reached the ground. With his backhand, he cut off the rope that was hanging him, and landed firmly in front of the bronze drum.
As soon as he landed, he continued to beat the bronze drum with both hands, and the sound he made with his hands was different, and then Zhang Qiling's throat also heard the same indistinct syllables as that wizard.
The two voices merged together, and they fit together wonderfully with the sound of the drum, which was surprisingly harmonious. The black blind man was proficient in rhythm, and after a little thought, he understood the reason.
What the evil thing is afraid of is the resonance of a certain frequency. They will recede because of the special combination of this drum and these rhythms, because they originally lived in the stone, and this drum is placed underground. The combination of vibration and sound happens to be the frequency that can make these things fear, or there are some parts of folk witchcraft that cannot be explained scientifically, so it is not easy to get into the details.
People who live in the fight do not want to believe in ghosts and gods, but subconsciously fear and believe that these things do exist.
From the way Zhang Qiling and the wizard made their voices and his understanding of the witch culture in the Baiyue Land, they played the roles of men and women; Mysterious, sometimes low and sometimes high-pitched.
The others had already forgotten that they were still being hung. They were in an underground cave full of dangers. They were already carried away by the sound of drums and singing. The ancient witchcraft music had a strong hypnotic effect. In this kind of music, the wizard enters the state of trance, and can even pass through thousands of swords without hurting a bit.
When the last syllable fell, everyone was still immersed in the echo of the cave, and heard the black blind man say:
"Let's go down too, those things are gone."
Only then did Aning come back to his senses, and shine a light on the ground with a flashlight, and sure enough, the creepy, densely packed figures had disappeared.
"This is only temporary." Zhang Qiling said after the others landed, "The sound stops, but they will come back."
Several people shook the rope a few times, signaling to the person pulling the rope above to put them down on the ground. After getting down to the ground, they could see the appearance of the cave clearly.
This is a natural cave that has been eroded by river water since the age of mythology, but traces of artificial carving can be seen. However, because the age of artificial carving is too long, new stalagmites, stalactites It has grown again, making it difficult to identify the situation here.
"Look this way." Heixia raised the flashlight and shone it on the rock wall of the cave on the right.
Everyone looked at the direction of his flashlight, and saw that there was a huge relief carved on the rock wall on this side, the relief was colored with very bright contrasting colors, and there was a dark passage in the center of the entire relief, which made the relief It looks like the mouth of a huge monster, or the gate to hell, which is daunting.
When you look closely, you can see that the relief is colored with a very special mineral pigment and process, so that it has not completely faded under the erosion of water after such a long time.
"This is really too exaggerated, and it hasn't completely faded." A local master brought by Aning sighed, "Could this really be the tomb of Chi You?"
"This kind of color contrasting expression technique and modeling art is unique to the Yao people." Heixiazi also came over at this time, scraped off a little powder and put it in the sample bag.Aning felt a little strange. This person still takes samples at this time. Could it be that he is still a lover of archaeology?You know, Tufuzi, those who trap lamas, generally don't do this kind of thing. It seems that after going out, you still have to check the identity and background of this person.
The passageway is as high as a person from the ground, obviously it was built by taking advantage of the terrain here, Zhang Qiling stepped forward, threw out the hook claws, tried to get acquainted, and then climbed up, after reaching the top, there was nothing wrong with it for a few minutes After the movement, Aning was a little impatient, and asked:
"What's going on up there?"
After a while, Zhang Qiling showed his head:
"You can come up together, but it's best to let the blind man come up alone first."
Aning looked at the blind man, and the blind man smiled:
"It's not what I said. You see, I'm not a big deal. How about it? It's better to go up together, so you don't always think that my brother and I are partners to deceive you."
After talking, the blind man grabbed the rope and climbed up. Aning slightly turned his head to signal others to follow. After a few minutes, everyone entered the passage.
Zhang Qiling saw that everyone was there, so he didn't say much. He turned on the wolf's eye flashlight and walked forward. After walking for about three or four minutes, he stopped.And what made him stop, everyone finally saw clearly.
A thing that still looks like a door like the relief at the entrance of the passage is set on the passage, but this time it is not a relief, but a natural stalactite column as the doorpost, and the top is artificially carved like an eaves , this shape is a very special form of architectural expression of the Yao people, but these are not surprising to everyone.
What is really strange is that in the center of the passage, there are three overlapping coffins of different colors.
"What's that?" Someone couldn't help swallowing in the darkness and asked.
"Three coffins to protect the corpses." The black blind man lowered his voice and said, "When I came to Guangxi, I heard a folk rumor that someone dug the foundation and found three coffins. The first coffin contained nothing, and the second coffin contained nothing. In the second coffin is a white bone, and in the third coffin is a very beautiful woman, dressed in clothes that do not belong to this era, as if she just fell asleep, and weathered after opening the coffin. But here The situation in this tomb is by no means worse than that of that tomb, and judging from the appearance of this passage, this is definitely not the end of the tomb. Therefore, the third coffin may contain powerful things sealed inside to protect the tomb. "
