92 Bone Flute
"What sound?" He Dao Ba immediately stood up. 2
We also stood up and quickly packed our things.
As we stopped talking, the voice became clearer.
"It sounds like a musical instrument." He Sheng listened carefully and said.
The voice was intermittent. Although the tone wasn't low, it was n' t bright. Hearing it in this tomb, it still felt strange.
What was even more strange was that the tune sounded very sad, as if it was telling a sad story.
To be honest, if this kind of voice was placed in a concert or a performance, everyone would definitely say it was like crying.
But at this moment, its voice resounded through the grave, and it could only give off a particularly horrifying feeling.
"Sounds like a flute." The mother-in-law carefully identified the source of the voice.
"Could it be a bone flute?" He Dao Ba stopped.
When I saw Grandma's expression becoming unpredictable, I knew that this bone flute was definitely not something lucky.
"It's a blessing, not a curse. It's a curse that can't be avoided." After a pause, her mother-in-law sighed." I hope it's not something difficult to deal with."
The sound of the bone flute was still intermittent, and it was getting more and more desolate.
I could almost feel the emotions contained in that voice, which seemed to be very, very sad...
"You'd better not listen too much." He Sheng voice suddenly rang in my ear, scaring me.
"What ……"
"The sound of the bone flute." He told me," The sound of the bone flute is confusing. If you listen too much and keep thinking about the sad things in your body, it will control you and make you feel more and more sad and sad, until... "Until I kill myself."
I was shocked by his last sentence, which was suddenly cold and cold. It took me a long time to recover.
"Is he really that powerful?" I couldn't help but ask," Does that have the same effect as Ghost Ying's crying?"
"There's something in common." He Sheng said," But you've also experienced it before. Ghost Infant's crying usually makes people mad, and the sound of the bone flute only makes people feel sad, and it's very hard to bear the grief."
Without needing him to say anything, I could already tell that the bone flute was very sad.
How sad would a person have to be to be able to play such a sorrowful flute?
Presumably, only those who were sad but had nowhere to vent would play such a sorrowful flute because he had to rely on it to convey his feelings.
Although I didn't know much about music, I always believed that music was the place of love.
Whether it was a singer singing or a musician playing a musical instrument, there were emotions in it.
This person who played the bone flute should be the same.
"Should we go and persuade him?" I asked He Sheng in a low voice.
He Sheng looked at me in disbelief." Are you crazy?" "Are you going to persuade the ghost to give up your revenge?"
I thought to myself, if I could, I would advise you to give up your revenge, but I knew it was useless.
However, I quickly came to my senses and asked in confusion," Persuade ghosts?" "Is it a ghost who plays the bone flute?"
So the bone flute was a musical instrument that only ghosts could use? I seem to be ignorant again.
"Yeah, I forgot to tell you just now." He Sheng said," This bone flute is the same kind that ghosts blow to ashes and smoke. It's used as condolences."
"That's why they are... "A funeral?" I asked in surprise.
The word "funeral" might not be accurate because the ghost was already dead.
"It means that." He Sheng said," The sound of the bone flute has two meanings. One is to offer condolences to the deceased soul, and the other is to represent that the other ghosts will begin to avenge him."
"Are you saying that a bunch of ghosts who play bone flute and send their companions are all in a very good relationship?" I was a little curious. Did ghosts have the same profound friendship as humans? Or was it because of their hatred for humans that they would magnify this behavior?
"Yes, I'm not sure if it's a good relationship. It might be similar to humans, similar to the same tribe or some kind of spontaneous alliance." He Sheng thought for a moment and said," But they should all be kids of similar level. Occasionally, they will have that kind of ability. The bone flute was made of the enemy's tibia. After each condolence, the bone flute would be burned along with the offerings. Then, they would go to find the enemy. Regardless of whether the enemy was a human or a ghost, they would kill him and use his tibia to make the next bone flute. When the other ghosts in this small circle were destroyed, they would use the bone flute to offer condolences and continue to circulate."
He Sheng had been living among the ghosts for a few years, so she knew it better and told me a beautiful story.
After I heard this, I didn't know why I felt pity for those ghosts.
Thinking about it, their companions had been eliminated without a single corpse. However, they offered their condolences and burned their belongings. After that, they had to kill their enemies to avenge their companions. This series of things was not easy to accomplish.
I don't know if their enemy is a ghost, but what if their enemy is a human? What kind of person could make ghosts disappear? They were naturally people like Grandma and He Scar.
Even though there were really some hard-to-treat ghosts, most of them were still afraid of catching ghosts.
It would naturally be very difficult for them to seek revenge for such a person.
I seemed to understand why the sound of the flute was so bleak.
"What if they can't take revenge?" I asked He Sheng," For example, is an enemy as hard to deal with as Grandma and Uncle He?"
"They know how confident they are in getting revenge. "If they can't get revenge, they' ll keep that bone flute and blow it in front of the enemy as a form of protest."
"How pitiful." I couldn't help but sigh.
"You pity them. They won't pity you." He Sheng said," I advise you not to think about this anymore. Be careful of being controlled by the bone flute. "There's another thing I have to tell you. If they do n' t feel like they can get revenge, there's a great chance that they will play the bone flute when they meet or attack when they meet."
I gasped.
This kind of behavior seemed to be called revenge in the human world. In other words, since these ghosts couldn't take revenge directly, it was fine to kill those who were n' t enemies. They were all human anyway.
It seemed that the thoughts of people and ghosts really had some sort of connection.
Just as I was thinking about it, I raised my head and saw He Dao Ba and Grandma walking in front of him. They seemed to be ready to defend and attack.
Just now, I was only focused on discussing the matter of the Bone Flute with He Sheng. At this moment, I came back to my senses to pay attention to what happened around me.
I heard the sound of the bone flute getting clearer and clearer. The ghosts that I couldn't see before also approached us from the tomb.
