The drums sounded again, and Sister Dawu showed great surprise on her face.
Seeing that the little witch sister was also full of excitement and a little excited, Xu Chen glanced at the desk and casually grabbed a thin bone stick and gave it to her.
So the two sisters were full of surprise and amazement, and you and I began to beat the drum gently, and the chaotic sounds of Dongdongdongdong continued, but they did not use as much power as Xu Chen, but it was not as shocking as before.
Xu Chen's last few blows were so thrilling.
At this time, more and more people heard the sound of drums, and the men, women, old and young who worked outside the courtyard and in the second and third courtyards also came over to watch the excitement.
Because the door was too small, I heard thunderous sounds and commotion coming from inside. The people crowded in the back scratched their heads and jumped and screamed in the yard, but they couldn't see anything.
"I want Dongdongquaga too..."
There were children outside the door who couldn't help shouting and wanted to squeeze into the room, but they were quickly dragged back by several older men who grabbed their ears and scolded them.
Since it is the same thing as the horn, it must also be a terrifying magical weapon with the power of the gods. How can a group of children touch it, and if it is struck incorrectly and offend the gods, it will not kill the entire tribe.
However, the children were not allowed to knock, but a group of men still wanted to knock a few times.
After all, if you play well, you might have a chance to become a drummer.
Then he became the trumpeter and flag bearer like Gu Heju and followed Xu Chen on horseback to appear at the Witch Lord Conference. Only then would he be proud and face-saving.
Seeing a group of men gearing up and looking eager to try, and hearing the noise in the yard, Xu Chen also knew that today's drum test was going to be a bit bigger.
What's more, he really needs to encourage one or two people to learn how to play the drums to help with the witchcraft ceremony that will start in two days.
Otherwise, he can't play drums by himself for three days. Although the twin sisters can play drums, it is very wasteful and inconsistent with their status.
So at his greeting, several men came in and moved out the drums and the rattan stools on which they were played, and then set them up in the middle of the courtyard.
Now everyone who came around could see clearly.
A red oblate object not only has words on it, but is also inlaid with colorful gold and silver jewelry. It looks very luxurious and mysterious at first glance.
Men, women, old and young who were not quite sure about the matter were standing around pointing and discussing in a noisy manner.
Several carpenters crowded in excitedly, their faces full of surprise.
This thing looks like the wooden barrel covered with two pieces of cowhide that they completed a few days ago. However, after Xu Chen reprocessed it, it looked more refined and beautiful, and it also became much more mysterious.
Xu Chen stabilized the drum again, and then motioned to the twin little witches holding animal teeth and bone sticks to continue demonstrating the drumming.
So Dongdongdongdong's voice soon sounded in the courtyard again. Now everyone could see and hear clearly. The sound of exclamation came one after another, and the whole courtyard was filled with joy and excitement.
Xu Chen squeezed out the crowd and went to find two wooden sticks of suitable thickness under the pergola outside the door. He simply processed them with an ax and made two drum sticks about one foot long before returning to the yard.
The twin little witches are still playing the drums, and their movements are very serious.
To Xu Chen, this was just a sudden toy, but to the two sisters and all the Ba people, it was an incredible invention, as full of mysterious properties as the horn.
Because for all primitive humans, everything beyond their cognition carries the unknown power of gods.
The knowledge and skills of twisting ropes, weaving nets, pottery, woodware, rattan weaving, weaving, building houses, farming, building cars, raising poultry and livestock, and even metal smelting are full of fantastic ideas, but in practice
They can also gradually understand that at least it is not out of their scope of cognition. It is still a purely natural thing, just because no one has invented it before.
But words, pictures, horns, etc. are no longer pure creations of wisdom, but innovations in the field of consciousness, which have completely risen to a higher level of civilization and are simply incomprehensible.
The more incomprehensible something is, the more difficult it will be to learn it.
Learning and innovation in the art field require talent and talent.
Of course, if you have talent and talent, you still need education and guidance to do better.
The twin little witches have learned witchcraft inheritance from the big witch since they were young, singing a lot of witchcraft songs and dances. They are also the earliest musical artists among humans. Although they are ignorant, their understanding of music is far better than that of ordinary savages.
At least Xu Chen felt it when he came in from outside the courtyard.
When they went out just now, the sound of the two playing drums was still messy, but when they came in, the drumming had become gentle and had some fixed rhythm. Although they were also beating unconsciously, at least it sounded
It's not that chaotic, but maintains a fixed frequency.
In other words, in just five or six minutes, the two little witches had already felt the rhythm and rhythm of the drum.
Ordinary onlookers, men, women and children, may not have felt it yet, but Xu Chen was very aware of this change.
It's like someone who has never seen a flute but can quickly play simple music after playing it for a few times.
This understanding of music and rhythm is not something that ordinary people can understand, and it requires a very keen sense of music.
When Xu Chen walked into the crowd with a face full of surprise, the twin little witches were beating the drum heads seriously and excitedly. Although the intensity was different, the rhythm of Dongdongdongdong's drums was roughly fixed.
"Your Majesty the Witch King, the drums sound great!"
Seeing Xu Chen come in, the twin little witches stopped at the same time and looked at him with excitement on their faces.
Xu Chen raised the two drumsticks in his hand and said with a smile: "I couldn't find the drumsticks I had just now, so I went out and made two. I'll try them first!"
After that, Xu Chen walked up to the drum, played it a few times in Dongdong rotation, and after slowly getting the feel for it, he rounded his arms and began to make continuous hammering sounds.
Winter, winter, winter, winter...
Following Xu Chen's movements, his hands and drumsticks almost turned into afterimages, and the sound of the drums continued like rolling thunder, rolling around in the courtyard.
The crowd of onlookers were blushing and heart-beating as they were stimulated by the sound of the drums. Seeing Xu Chen beating faster and faster and the beating and drumming getting heavier and heavier, some people couldn't help but roar along.
The twin little witches were also dumbfounded by Xu Chen's violent output. They felt that their ears were about to be broken by the sound of the drum, and their hearts were about to jump out of their bodies. They each held animal teeth and bone clubs to cover themselves.
His mouth was completely shocked and stunned by such a fierce drum sound.
They just knocked lightly, thinking that's what drumming is all about.
But I didn't expect Xu Chen to go out and get two short sticks, and he would be beaten hard like a storm.
Of course, it must be very exciting.
The whole courtyard was beaten by Xu Chen's drum, which made the soul tremble and the blood boil.
But Xu Chen's crazy output couldn't last long. Within half a minute, his movements began to slow down, and the drums began to sound messy.
Sure enough, drumming is a strenuous job.
Even though he was single for two generations and boasted that his hands were faster than others, he still couldn't hold on for a long time. Soon he stopped with his arms sore, put the drum sticks on the drum surface, rubbed the sore arm muscles and started to carefully
Observe the condition of the drum surface.
After this heavy beating, there were countless dense beating marks on the drum skin, but there was no sign of the drum skin falling off or even cracking. I pressed the drum head a few times with my hands and found that it was very tight and still very elastic.
When he was playing the drum just now, although he played very fast, he actually tried hard to control his power, from light to heavy, from slow to fast. Although it was fierce, he would not really use his full strength, otherwise this would
The facial drum will definitely not be able to withstand the strength of a savage.
The purpose of his continuous beating was naturally to verify the strength of the drum.
If it can't withstand even this little beating, the drum will definitely be of no use. Naturally, it won't be used to embarrass people at the witchcraft convention.
But at the moment, it looks fine. The quality of the drum is good. Except for the sound and appearance, which he is not very satisfied with, it is still strong and seems to be able to withstand beatings.
"Would you two try using drumsticks?"
After Xu Chen finished observing, he picked up the drumstick and handed it to Sister Dawu.
The little witch took it nervously, looking a little uneasy, but she still held the stick with both hands and started beating quickly like Xu Chen, but her momentum was obviously not as strong as Xu Chen's, and the beating was very gentle, but because she was not used to this kind of fast beating with both hands, and
Wooden drumsticks are relatively light and flexible, so the sound is very messy.
Xu Chen stood beside him with a smile and kept reminding him of the instructions. Gradually, the speed of the little witch's hands slowed down a lot. She no longer pursued speed, but alternately pounded her hands. The rhythm quickly stabilized, but the sound of Dongdongdongdong was heard.
It is indeed much gentler than Xu Chen's beating.
Of course, the level of shock has been reduced a lot.
The little witch's arm strength was even worse than Xu Chen's. She put down the drumstick after beating for less than twenty seconds and started rubbing her arms. The little witch sister quickly picked up the drumstick and started beating with both hands, but she only lasted for more than ten seconds before giving up.
"Which of you wants to give it a try?" Xu Chen turned around and looked at a circle of men who were just eager to give it a try.
"Holy shit!" Gu quickly jumped out, rolling up his sleeves.
The twin little witches quickly stepped aside. Gu excitedly grabbed the drumstick with both hands, raised his arms high and was about to smash it down.
They had already discovered it when they were watching.
The harder this drum is struck, the louder it becomes.
And Gu decided to use his greatest strength to make the loudest sound.
But obviously his wish was going to come true.
Xu Chen grabbed both of his arms with a black face and reminded him very seriously not to use too much force. If he broke the drum, he would have to go to the Third Hospital to sweep horse manure for the rest of his life.
So Gu suddenly became timid, and the excitement on his face subsided like a tide, and then he began to pound nervously and nervously.
