"Really?!" Meng Qingyao was shocked.
"It's not as mysterious as Si Niang said." The Taoist priest with a grimace waved his hand: "I'm just a little confused. If I say he's crazy, it's better to say..."
"Dementia." He Siniang interjected.
"Well, it sounds angry, but the meaning is pretty much the same."
"Why is this happening?" Meng Qingyao asked, "Is it because of the mechanism you two mentioned?"
"I'm still not sure if it's a mechanism, but Brother Qingyao is here. Do you think there is a mechanism in the world that can make people go crazy?"
"What? The mechanism that emits tunes can also make people crazy? I don't quite understand what the Taoist priest means. Are you saying that the mechanism is only responsible for emitting tunes, and people only go crazy when they hear the tunes?"
"right."
"This...is this a bit evil? If we simply create a mechanism that can emit melody, our Mo family alone can do it, but how can we make the melody drive people crazy? There is no such evil thing among our thieves. Is it legal?"
"Where is the Witch Gu Sect?"
"I don't know, but if the witchcraft sect is involved, what the Taoist priest has in mind is not a mechanism, but something evil like a ghost singing opera."
"It can't be because of evil spirits. The poor Long Ming Dao didn't respond from the beginning to the end, huh? What is Si Niang thinking?"
"I'm thinking about the 'melody' I just mentioned."
"oh?"
"I just suddenly remembered that there is a legend circulating in the Orchid Gate about a tune that can drive people crazy."
The grimace Taoist priest and Meng Qingyao looked serious when they heard this. He Siniang was from the Huo Jing sect in the Orchid Gate. Although she was mainly engaged in singing and dancing in the past, her understanding of opera is naturally unmatched by ordinary people. .
At this time, He Siniang calmed down her thoughts and said: "That piece of music is very ancient. It is said that it only existed in the Yin and Shang Dynasties. Normal people will suddenly become violent and furious after listening to it..."
"Really...is there really such a piece of music?" The Taoist priest with a grimace subconsciously covered his right hand tightly and said in surprise: "Just listening to it can make people go crazy. Can a witch play that piece of music?"
"It's not who played it, but the reason for the tune itself. It is said that the melody is extremely sad and sad, and the sound of bells is like the low voice from hell, which makes people's emotions change from sadness to chaos, from chaos to confusion. In the end, he completely lost his mind and became a madman."
"Si Niang, you said 'the sound of bells', is that music played with chimes?"
"Absolutely, that's how the old leader of Baiximen described it, but I feel that there were no chimes in the Shang Dynasty, so chimes and cymbals should be more accurate."
The grim-faced Taoist priest nodded and said solemnly: "The tune that the poor Taoist heard just now is the sound made by the chimes."
"Ah?! What the Taoist Master heard couldn't be the song Siniang mentioned, right?!"
"But the old leader said that the tune was lost in later generations. The tune was called 'Shenghun Tune'. It was actually a tune used in human sacrifices during the Shang Dynasty. It is said that when the tune is played, the slaves in the altar will scream madly. From then on, It looked like a miserable scene from above. The rulers believed that it would be easier for the gods to see it this way, so as to achieve their purpose of offering sacrifices and praying. However, with the demise of the Shang Dynasty, human sacrifices were gradually abolished in the late Zhou Dynasty, and soul-raising tunes were gradually abolished. It is useless. In addition, this tune is too evil, and many people will use it to do some dirty things. Therefore, the rulers of the Zhou Dynasty also intended to eliminate it, so around the end of the Zhou Dynasty, this soul-raising tune was Completely disappeared into the chaos.”
When the grimace Taoist priest heard the word "troubled times", he had other thoughts in his mind, and said: "Many lost things in troubled times may not have really disappeared. Some, like the lonely noble, just disappeared from the public's sight. It's just a charm. I guess it's secretly circulating in some nook and cranny. Otherwise, how can we explain the enchanting tune here? I am an upright and upright person, so can I really be possessed by evil spirits?"
"Haha." He Siniang shook her head helplessly: "The Taoist Master's last words are enough to sound like he was possessed."
"Anyway, Pindao feels that this matter has nothing to do with what Siniang said..."
"Soul Soul Tune."
"Yes, Shenghun Tiao must be related, at least there is some kind of connection. Pindao makes a hypothesis. If Shenghun Tiao was quietly passed down somewhere and finally got into the hands of the tomb owner, then the tomb owner would arrange it in the mausoleum. , wouldn’t it be a good way to prevent reverse fighting?”
Meng Qingyao nodded: "It is indeed a clever method to block the enemy invisible with just the sound, but if people block their ears and don't listen to the sound..."
"Qingyao, you're on to the point!" He Siniang slapped her thigh and said excitedly, "Maybe we'll hit the door accidentally!"
"How to say?"
"Think about it, how can an ordinary person have such an ear as a Taoist priest? Most of them are like Concubine and Qingyao. They have to be closer to hear. But if they are close and can hear clearly, then they want to make It’s too late to react, and the person may have gone completely crazy before things can be understood.”
"That's right! We arrived at this point by accident. Pindao was about to react, so Si Niang stopped him. The most important thing is that you two can't hear that sound, otherwise we can go forward. Come on, if you hear that damn song, I'm afraid the gods won't be able to save us three."
"What a vicious mechanism." Meng Qingyao glanced into the depths of the cave, with a layer of worry in his eyes: "If you use the mechanism to create a murderous song, I'm afraid the owner of this tomb is a very ordinary person!"
"It certainly doesn't seem like a good thing now, but now that we have figured out the mechanism's cover, it will be much easier to take precautions. Later, we only need to plug our ears tightly with something, and we will break the sky inside. Not afraid."
"It's easy for us to talk, but the Zhao brothers... Taoist priest, do you think Zhao Sanshui has also gone crazy?"
"It's hard to say. Qingyao just mentioned that Zhao Sanshui's state is not right. Pindao estimates that he must have been tricked. However, Zhao Sanshui is a very smart person. There is no telling whether he will suddenly notice it. Pindao can only hope He can protect himself as much as possible, otherwise he will go crazy, and then we will have to turn around and go out to report the funeral to Zhao Laoer and the others."
"I hope he's okay. The Zhao family is such a smart person. If it breaks down, how will the others deal with it?"
"Boss Zhao and Zhao Laoer heard these words, and they will make you crazy even if they are not crazy. Okay, now that we have figured out the routine, let's pack up and move forward, shall we?"
"Okay, I have fine cotton here. You can use it to plug your ears tightly."
"Where did you get the fine cotton?" The grim-faced Taoist priest saw He Siniang reaching out and groping in her arms, and couldn't help but sigh: "It can't be from some liangdang (underwear), right?"
"When I look at your size, I picked out your eyes and stuffed your ears. This is the vaginal cotton used to store fire when I use incense. Hurry up and stuff your ears so that you can go on your way!"
