Chapter 577: The Drum

 "No need to see, it's human-skinned!"

Bai Wei was not here, so she no longer had the worry of scaring the little girl. Brother Yaozi said it very bluntly, and he pulled it with his fingers and said lightly: "The black paint material, the coffin handle, the drum face of the human skin, and the thread of the big tendons are all people in the industry, so they don't have to look at it again."

"What...is this all?"

Bai Gen stuttered and asked nervously: "Isn't it just a rattle? It's both human skin and coffin. Why does it sound so cunning..."

Lao Bai smiled grimly and asked, "Do you really want to know what this is?"

Bai Gen swallowed his saliva hard, and his courage was obviously dissipated. However, this man was stubborn and didn't like to show his timidity, so he nodded vigorously again.

Lao Bai likes to do crazy things that are so crazy that he can't do the most, and immediately explained the tricks of this rattle to the other party.

Needless to say, the human skin is just the rattle face!

Human skin is different from animal skin. There are many layers of human skin. Even if it is peeled off, it will not have any elasticity after it is dried. Especially the outermost layer of oily skin, which is yellow and turbid, and some of them are not processed and air-dried, and they look like crispy slices in pancakes.

The drum surface in front of me was obviously the outermost layer of oily skin, which was pulled flat and polished to the outermost hair, but you can still see it at a glance.

As for the black lacquer material, it was said that it was covered with human skin.

The black paint material is lacquered wood.

The planting range of lacquer wood is very large. In addition to Heilongjiang, Jilin, Inner Mongolia and Xinjiang, it can be planted almost all of them.

In the past, these four provinces were not thinking about planting this thing. There were so many mountains and good land, and the economic value of sapphire trees was so high that it was unreasonable to plant it. As a result, after transplanting it, all of them died. Most of these dead sapphire trees were no longer treated. Some were buried underground with geological changes and encountered special places. Over time, the wood became carbon-colored, so it was called black lacquer.

Once this material is accidentally dug out, red water droplets will seep out of the surface, which will look like blood, and finally form a red coating with a texture like paint. It is the best thing in the world, such as eel blood, bronze mirrors, etc., and you have to stand aside when you see it.

Now that the human skin's drum face is tied to this material, those who don't know think it's painted, but people in the industry can tell at a glance that the gloomy smell cannot escape.

As for the coffin handle, it is the wooden handle of the rattle.

If the tomb is well preserved and the coffin is not corroded, the dead inside will rot, and the rotten soup will soak on the bottom of the coffin. Over time, the coffin board will become interesting. After cutting it, it will be smooth and smooth. At first glance, it looks like the patina formed by a platter. Therefore, some coffins with special materials will be cut and taken away by Tushizi, and finally sold to the cultural relics market. After processing, they will be sold as things that have been sold. They will be sold at a high price. No one can recognize it because the material is real, but the layer of patina is...

This kind of thing is most common among golden nanmu and cliff cypress!

This is the rattle handle.

As for the thread of the big tendon...

In fact, it’s the big tendon on the heel!

After pumping it, dry it, and then soak it in water. After it is soaked in water, it will break and turn into something like ramie silk...

This is the rope on the left and right sides of the rattle.

Bai Gen was disgusted by saying that he had eaten two bites of meat from time to time, but now he took a look and didn't know what he thought of, and he was so disgusting that he burped.

Lao Bai was not satisfied with it, and wanted to say that he was interrupted by my master, and then asked Bai Gen: "Do you know the origin of this rattle?"

"Know a little..."

Bai Gen frowned and said, "After something happening, we basically stayed up and didn't leave. That day... My girl really wanted to go out to play, so my wife said, "You just play at the door for a while, and then after a while, she ran back, holding such a thing in her hand. I asked her where it came from. She said that an uncle gave her to the door. People were panicked at the time, so I said to throw it away. She was unwilling to do so. She had no choice but to say anything. She thought it was just a toy anyway, so it should be fine."

Speaking of this, he turned to my master: "Mr. Zhang, what is this thing... used for!"

This question is not the Taoist profession, but the profession of our ritual officials.

So I said, "There is something you said wrong. This thing is not a toy. In ancient times, it was a musical instrument, which was once called a drum!

If you take apart the word saurus and look at it, there is a sign above and a drum below. The sign means "far", and saurus means a drum from afar.

As the name suggests, the shang drum was tributed by ethnic minorities in the distance at that time. It was directly dedicated to the Zhou emperor at that time, probably during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period...

And what is the function of the turtle drum in that distant ethnic minority?

Wu Zhu! Do you understand?

Just like the Nuo dance before, ethnic minorities dance with their turtles and gods!

If cowhide is used as the drum face, it is to exorcise ghosts. But if the material is so evil, can you say more? It is a ghost!

If I guess correctly, the one who gave you this thing is definitely not an individual. That guy is thinking about your house. His skin and tendons are his own, and the coffin board is also his. Once he shakes this thing in the middle of the night, he will be able to come in openly!"

Bai Gen was about to speak, but I waved my hand and interrupted it, and then said, "I know what you are going to ask. I was about to say this. There are many people who have dismantled the stage, why are they all thinking about it? You are fine? We thought before that maybe you didn't smash the stage, which was not considered as having a snob. Now it seems that this idea is a bit biased. Those things are unreasonable and don't follow the rules. You should also be on the blacklist, just because they can't do anything to you.

As for the rattle, it will not jump up and bite people by itself, but its purpose is to bring in the outside.

I wondered... Is there something in your house that has been suppressed and that it dares not force it to break through, and that it can only follow the rules. After all, if your daughter shakes the rattle and invites someone to come in, then... she will really be unable to suppress anything. She is seeking death by herself. What can God do?"

"It's certainly not that talisman!"

Brother Yaozi smiled and added: "That talisman is really domineering, but there is room for trouble. If you really encounter something that is determined to kill you, you can't stop it. Look at those families. Didn't the old monk say he can't escape..."

This question is so stumped by Bai Gen. The man scratched his head while thinking hard. After a long time, he slapped his head and said, "If you want to say that something can be saved, our whole family seems to be the only one. It is passed down from the ancestors, and I don't know what it is..."

Then the guy ran to the bedroom to rummage the cabinets. Lao Bai followed him and looked back with red eyes. He gestured for a moment and said that it was all old silverware and his family was so thick that it was unreasonable.

Soon, Bai Gen came back, holding a package in his hand, opened it and saw a Buddha statue inside, only the length of a slap.

Lao Bai glanced at him and said, "The Gilded Bench Buddha, from the Tang Dynasty, you don't need to look at the old thing when you open the door, but it's not this thing, keep looking for you!"

Bai Gen said that if it weren't for this thing, he wouldn't know what it was, so he simply asked us to go inside and look at it ourselves.

The cabinet was opened, and there were quite a lot of old things inside.

Soon, my master stared at a blue and white porcelain bottle, opened it and saw that it was a black thing inside.

"Relics!"

My master narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "That's right, it's this thing, a monk's relics. Where did you come from this thing?"

"It was also passed down from ancestors..."

Bai Gen said, "My father told me that our ancestors saved a monk when they were fighting. The monk said that my ancestors were so guilty of killing, and their descendants were afraid that they would repeat the bloody disaster. Take this thing. His master's relics were worshipped, and he would not be able to protect him, who had held a butcher's knife, but at least his descendants could seek peace!"

This statement is reasonable.

Their village is very interesting, with many old things and many surnames of Bai.

There are many Mongolian surnames Bai, and there are many Han surnames Bai, but the two families have Bai surnames Bai, but the same origin is not the same. The Bai surname of the Han family should have originated from the Ying clan or the Mi clan in the pre-Qin period, while the Bai clan of the Mongolian family is complicated. Some say they are descendants of Genghis Khan, and some say they are descendants of Genghis Khan's personal army. However, the Qing Dynasty has verified that many tribes have changed this surname, but in the end they are very glorious tribes during the Genghis Khan period, and they are more or less related to the Borjijin clan.

Many discoveries here also prove this. The large jars, many silverware, etc. that were plundered from the farming peoples, all prove this.

The ancestor Bai Gen mentioned was 80% of whom were from the Genghis Khan period...

The year of this blue and white porcelain bottle looks almost from that period...

There is a monk's relics in the family, and the unclean things cannot be brought in... It's really normal!

"If you have this thing, you can feel at ease for the time being."

My master nodded and then said, "Go to take care of your girl first, just set a room for us. I believe that when that girl wakes up, you will have some clues why you are disturbed by evil spirits!"

Bai Gen responded and took us to his eldest daughter's room.

When Baigen left, Brother Yaozi suggested whether to go to the other families to see it.

The people here are roughly divided into three groups. One group was ready to leave after listening to the old monk's words. Another group was the old monk's words that the old monk said he could not leave. Bai Gen was the third group and the only family. He knew he could not leave, so he was ready to fight desperately...

Of course, the others Brother Yaozi mentioned were unable to leave. He guessed that he wanted to see what the situation was and what strange things had he encountered?

But my master shook his head and said two words lightly - rest!

So we stopped making too much trouble and went to the car to get some things. Brother Yaozi parked the car not far from Baigen's house.

We were rushing non-stop, and we were very tired at the moment. The room space was limited. My master was on the bed, and we all had to use the floor.

I muttered to Lao Bai like a dream, mostly about the earth spirit bead my dad mentioned...

It's nothing more than that, which dragon vein was formed by that Earth Spirit Bead? It was formed by combining the national destiny of which dynasty? Generally speaking, Earth Spirit Beads were formed when the Central Plains dynasty was prosperous. Such a bead appeared on the grassland, which was really strange. We never stopped discussing this. Lao Bai probably didn't have the energy to discuss it, so he just responded to me and fell asleep.

I ignored it, and gradually I calmed down. After drinking some wine, I fell asleep unknowingly...

Until, a shrill scream with horror tore the tranquility...
