In the temple, a large drum is enshrined in a large hall.???
The big drum stands upright, with a natural raven pattern on the drum surface. There is a ferocious beast biting a green copper ring on the left and right sides of the drum. Below is an iron-thorn wooden drum stand on which the big drum is placed.
This big drum is not ordinary. It is the Lei Kui war drum used by hundreds of tribes when they first came to the wilderness and fought in all directions.
The lazy afternoon sun shines into the temple and it seems to be alive, wandering around.
Mi Gu hugged Baba's neck tightly and clung to him, looking at the strange old man with red face and yellow eyebrows a little fearfully. He looked around stupidly, then raised his feet and actually wanted to pee in it.
Gongliang kicked him out of his urine. This fool dared to urinate here. He wanted to die.
Yuan Gungun was kicked by Gong Liang and felt very unhappy. He was about to come over and bite him, but when he saw the giant copper bell eyes glaring at him, he was so frightened that he quickly hid behind Gong Liang.
"Elder, why did you bring me here?" the public servant asked curiously.
"This year, the temple wants you to be the drummer and lead the ceremony of worshiping the gods. Just in case, you have to practice here from now on to avoid making mistakes and making a joke." Dao Meng explained.
"oh"
Gongliang responded without asking why he was asked to be the drummer.
In his opinion, this drum should be like the first person to perform in a performance team, or like a flag-raiser in an elementary school. You raise the flag, and the following will sing the national anthem, salute, etc., which has the same meaning. His grades in elementary school in his previous life
Yes, I was a flag-raiser.
When I was young, I felt quite proud, but when I grew up, I felt completely indifferent. At best, I was just a coolie, without even any reward.
But at least I left some good memories in my childhood. Now that I think about it, some people should be envious of me, and some little girls might like me!
When Dao Meng heard his indifferent response, his red face turned a little darker.
This bastard has no idea how rare this opportunity is.
In previous grand ceremonies, there was no fight to be the drummer without a lot of bloodshed, but unlike this time, I just let him do it casually.
You must know that the person who set up this drum is not just as simple as beating the drum. It is a war drum made from the skin of Lei Kui who failed to overcome the tribulation. If it is beaten well and matches the sound of the drum, the remaining thunder in Lei Kui's war drum can be beaten.
Kui Yuanli cleanses away his hair and marrow, and has the opportunity to get a glimpse of Lei Kui's true form and understand the thunder method of heaven and earth. Therefore, this opportunity is very rare.
Of course, Dao Meng didn't tell him these things, lest he feel unnatural and lose his normal mind.
The more you worry about something, the easier it is to lose it, so it is better to just let nature take its course.
"Boy, now I will teach you how to play the drum during the ceremony. Learn it carefully." Dao Meng walked to the drum stand, picked up two drumsticks and said.
"Yes," Gongliang responded respectfully.
Dao Meng stood in front of Lei Kui's war drum with a drumstick in his hand and started beating.
After a burst of rapid drumming, the drumming began to become rhythmic, and little by little, the sound of drumsticks hitting the wooden side of the drum body seemed to be matching something, but it was not clear.
After knocking for a while, Dao Meng turned around and asked, "How are you doing? Did you hear it clearly?"
"Listen clearly."
Gong Liang just listened for a while and found that except for the rapid drum beats at the front and back, the drum beats were rhythmic bit by bit in the middle, so it was not difficult at all.
"Then come over and give it a try." Dao Meng put the drumsticks back on the drum stand, walked aside, and let him come forward.
Gong Liang asked Mi Gu and Yuan Gungun to play aside, and then walked over.
Mi Gu found that it was fun to play the drum, and he wanted to go there, but he was a little scared when he saw the red-faced old man with yellow eyebrows next to him, so he had to stay aside with Gungun.
Walking to the drum stand, Gong Liang reached out and picked up the drumsticks, but they were very heavy. You must know that drumming is a laborious task, so in addition to being strong, drumsticks are also generally required to be light. I didn't expect that drumsticks are so heavy.
Aren’t you tired after just a few knocks?
Gongliang couldn't help but question Dao Meng: "Elder, why is this drumstick so heavy?"
"This is the leg bone of Lei Kui. Without it, how can we beat the drum of Lei Kui? Don't wait too long, hit it quickly."
After hearing his words, Gongliang raised his drumstick and struck the Lei Kui war drum.
With a wave of his hand, Dao placed a soundproof air mask around him to prevent the loud sound of Lei Kui's war drum from spreading outside.
Unexpectedly, Gongliang knocked, but there was no sound.
How is it possible? He clearly saw the elder knocking so loudly just now. Gongliang looked at the elder suspiciously.
Dao Meng saw his doubtful eyes, glared suddenly and shouted: "What are you looking at? You haven't had enough to eat! Use some force, how can you knock the sound without force?"
When Gongliang heard the old man's words, he immediately hit the drum hard, but there was still no sound. Suddenly, he filled his hands with anger and continued to hit the Lei Kui war drum with the drumstick in hand.
"Dong dong dong dong"
At this time, Lei Kui's war drum finally sounded, as if an invisible sound wave continued to spread into the distance with the sound of the drum, but it was blocked by the air shield under Dao Meng's cloth.
With hammer after hammer, Gongliang gradually became clear of distracting thoughts.
For a moment, the heart and the mallet were combined, and the mallet and the drum were combined. The three of them were in perfect harmony. When the drumstick made of Lei Kui's leg bone struck the Lei Kui war drum, a little bit of Lei Kui's energy came out.
As the drumstick enters Gongliang's body from his hand, his hair and marrow are washed and impurities are removed, making the skin, flesh, tendons and marrow of his body closer and more consistent.
After knocking for a while, Gongliang stopped.
It's not that he wanted to stop, but he had to stop because he was too tired. After only knocking for a while, all the energy in his body was exhausted.
Although he didn't have any vitality at all, his spirit was very high.
"Take this elixir. Every time you feel tired from playing the drum, you can take one to replenish your strength." Dao Meng threw a bottle of elixir.
Gong Liang caught the elixir, opened the bottle and poured out one. He saw that the elixir inside was as red as fire, with a layer of faint fluorescence floating on it. It was something you could tell at a glance. He quickly swallowed one, closed his eyes and began to regulate his breathing.
When I woke up after a while, I suddenly found that all the energy in my Dantian had recovered, and seemed to have increased slightly.
Gongliang couldn't help but asked in surprise: "Elder, what kind of elixir is this? It's so effective."
"Of course. This is the Purple Fire Xuanyuan Pill, which is very rare in our wilderness. If you didn't need to play drums, it would be impossible for you to take this pill. Have you rested? Get up and practice as soon as you are ready.
Something went wrong when I got the ceremony." Dao Meng urged when he saw that Gong Liang was in good spirits.
After taking the elixir, Gongliang has indeed recovered.
Seeing him urging me, I continued practicing.
For several days, he was locked up in the temple by the elders. He was not allowed to leave until he mastered the drumming skills. At this time, it was only a few days before the festival. 8
