About half an hour later, a burly wizard, about fifty years old, followed Wu Dai, came close to him, bowed to Qin Di and Ao Ying, and said, "I have seen two great musicians while I was laying the witch drum!"

Qin Di hurriedly said, "Please sit down! Master Witch Drum, who gave you this name?"

Wu Gu's hair was a little bit off and his head was half bald. He laughed and said, "Wu Gu is not my original name, it is equivalent to an official position. Every generation of our Wu Xian Kingdom has a wizard drum. Although my drum beats are very low, they are slightly stronger than others, so I took on this responsibility. When I get old, I will pass this name to my descendants. Unfortunately, my son died young, so I can only pass it to my disciples! Wu Dai is also one of the candidates, but he can't beat drums. If he wants to make wizard drums, he has to practice for two or three years!"

Wu Dai said, "Master, you are not old yet. Keep working hard. You may have a child when you are old."

Wu Gu ignored what he said and bowed to Ao Ying and said, "I heard from Wu Dai that you are a great drumbeat musician. Can you accept me as your disciple? I am willing to offer all my property, just to learn how to beat the drum!"

Ao Ying glanced at him and replied with a smile: "Forget it! Take out the cowhide you write, and whether you can understand it or not, I will teach you how to beat the drum. But I only teach you one day a month, no more than two years. Whether you can learn it depends on your own luck!"

After hearing this, Wu Gu knelt down on the ground with a big gift, bowed three times, and shouted: "Thank you, Master! You just need to teach me for a day, and you will be my master, no matter whether you recognize it or not!" As he said that, he took out a fragrant sandalwood box from his body, and opened it and it was rolled up with kraft paper.

Ao Ying took it and was stunned after just taking a glance!

"My husband, I'm leaving this job to you!"

Qin Di took it and spread it open, looked closely and saw that it was not written on it, but symbols. These symbols were like oracle bone inscriptions and some kind of runes. He opened his eyes wide and identified them for a while, but could only guess a few. There were at least three or four thousand words on this kraft paper.

Wu Gu looked at him with hope and asked, "Sir, do you know what is written on it?"

Qin Di replied frankly: "This is a very ancient character that I can't recognize for a while, but after slowly speculation, it can still be parsed. Can I get the copy of these runes?"

Wu Gu smiled heartily and said, "Sir, you don't need to copy it anymore! I will put the kraft paper here and come and take it again in a few days. To be honest, I have no use at all. Every day I look at it, staring at it, staring at it, and not thinking about food and food, and I will be sick! If this continues, I will definitely die early! If it weren't for the things passed down by the ancestors, I would really want to burn it with a torch!"

Qin Di could not use his magic power, and he didn't even want to use his spiritual sense, so he took the pen and ink, drew the runes, and returned the kraft paper to the other party. He knew that although Wu Gu said this, if he really wanted to leave the kraft paper, this guy might have to be even more at ease!

Wu Gu took the kraft paper and carefully put it away, and smiled "hehe" and said, "Thank you, Mr. Qin, for your trouble."

Since Ao Ying agreed to teach the other party to beat the drum, she taught him for an hour that day and asked the witch drum to go back to practice and come back in a month. After all, she came from the Xianyin Sect, and teaching a little content would be enough for the witch drum to practice for a long time.

Wu Gu was very happy and left after thanking him.

Qin Di continued to think about the runes, but after several days of hard work, he could not recognize too many. After all, he was not an ancient writing expert, and it was still difficult to rely on guessing without learning these things.

So he entered the cave and asked Shi Babao and others for advice.

As a master of weapon refining, Shi Babao doesn’t know much about these runes.

Fang Jiufu is the master of talisman making. He glanced at it and said, "This is a very ancient witch fairy erosion text. It disappeared hundreds of thousands of years ago or even millions of years ago. Because I studied runes, I read all the classics of the Immortal Talisman Sect and saw some related content, so I could identify a small part of the text."

Qin Di was overjoyed when he heard this: "Thank you, Master, please mark the words you know."

Fang Jiufu looked at the runes intently, and finally marked 1,100 words, and there were more than 300 words that were not accurate, so he barely wrote them down and put them next to him.

Qin Di took these records and felt like he had found a treasure, and then went to ask Dayan Seventy-three for advice.

As a result, Dayan Qi Thirteen smiled slightly and quickly untie all the remaining words!

Qin Di was shocked when he saw this: "Master, you are so awesome! Why are you so familiar with this kind of text?"

Dayan Seventy-three smiled and said, "Our Dayan lineage, in addition to formations, is divination, and divination is also the main means for the Wu family to walk in the world. Therefore, in some places, witches and Taoism are not divided, there are Taos in witches and witches in the Tao. Because of this, our Dayan lineage must also be familiar with this witch immortal erosion text. It is said that when we reach the heaven, some places rely on the witch immortal erosion text to record things."

"Master, I want to learn the witch fairy essay from you, please teach me!"

Dayan Qisan handed him a jade slip and said, "This is the erosion text I compiled. There is a comparison with our commonly used text. You can just think about it for a few days."

"Thank you, Master!"

Qin Di happily walked out of the cave, handed the jade slip to Ao Ying, and asked her to write the contents in them word by word on the paper.

He himself began to think about the words printed on kraft paper.

After reading it from beginning to end, he found that this was indeed an article about drums, including how to make and beat drums. The better the materials used for drum making, the stronger the drum power you get in the end. Most drums in the mundane world use cowhide. Drums used by Wu Family often use crocodile skin, that is, crocodile skin. Drums used by Xian Family mostly use Kui Cowhide.

There is Kuiniu in Yunmeng Daze, also known as thunder beast. It is said that there is only one leg, gray, and there will be wind and rain when entering and leaving the water. It can make thunder sounds, accompanied by the light of the sun and the moon. Its roar is as deafening as thunder. If you use its skin as a drum and use its bones as a drumstick, you can get a big drum of the spiritual level or even the Tongtian spiritual treasure level.

After the article talks about making drums, there are several ancient songs at the end. One is the sacrificial drum of the Witch family, the one is the sacrificial drum that boosts morale and captures the enemy during wartime, and the other is the twilight drum beats every evening, which has the effect of warding off evil spirits and expelling ghosts. The remaining songs are also related to the witch tribe's killing and fighting, and can also be used as a means for the immortals to capture enemies and kill people. If you have good drums, you can learn these battle songs and spread the sound for 500 miles, making the enemies within 500 miles scared.

Regarding drum music, there are also some inheritances in the Xianyin Sect. If combined with the drum music of the Wu family, the content will become richer.

Qin Di wrote two-thirds of the translated content and handed it to Wu Gu. The reason for the discount was one-third because he is now a disciple of the Xianyin Sect, which represents the interests of the Xianyin Sect. He should collect the content related to Xianyin and prevent it from being transmitted to other sects. Wu Xian Kingdom has no more masters. Even if all the repertoires are left, these people cannot perform in full, and they may even bring disaster to them.

It’s okay if the songs on kraft paper are not translated, but once they are translated, they will become a disaster. Instead of causing trouble for these little witches and eventually spreading the drum song to other sects, it’s better to just take out two-thirds of it, which is enough for the sacrificial sacrifices of the Wu family.

After receiving the drum song, Wu Gu was very excited and hurriedly ran back.

Soon, Wu Xi, the king of Wu Xian Kingdom, led more than a dozen princes and ministers to the place where Qin Di lived to thank him, and sent a lot of gold, silver utensils, cattle, sheep, melons and fruits.

Qin Di took it away without hesitation, because the house was very small, and he did not invite these people into the house, and just talked to everyone in the yard.

The king Wu Xi was very respectful: "God blessed us, and we have two great musicians from our country! This is the supreme glory of Wuxian Kingdom! The little king came here in person to invite two great musicians to have a banquet in my palace! It is a great blessing to be able to retrieve the drum song. It should be a grand banquet for three days and the whole country celebrates together!"

Qin Di politely declined: "Forget it when you have a banquet. I just want to live in seclusion here and spend the rest of my life quietly."

Wu Xisan didn't even ask for help, so he had to take everyone back with a look of displeasure.

Since then, every festival, people have brought gifts to their door, and no one dares to disturb Qin Di's peaceful life.

Qin Di let go of his body and mind, lived leisurely by the Wuxian River, often sitting in a cold chair, reading books and boats passing through the river, transporting a load of white salt to a foreign land.

After five years of this, Wu Gu learned the Wen Tian Gu. Although he was only a beginner and could not beat the essence of the drum sound, he gained more and more benefits from participating in annual sacrifices.

According to him, after participating in the sacrifice before, he had no feelings. After learning to listen to the Heavenly Drum, he felt that his body had become much stronger and his spirit was much better than before, and he seemed to have become younger.

In the third year, he participated in the sacrificial ceremony and his appearance changed. His sparse hair on his head became thicker, and he seemed to be five years younger.

After attending the sacrificial ceremony in the fifth year, his wife, who was over 50 years old, became pregnant!

This made him ecstatic and brought all kinds of gifts to thank the master and Qin Di.

Qin Di confiscated his gifts, but was moved by the annual sacrifices he mentioned in Wuxian Kingdom.

He understood in his heart: "This may be another tribute similar to the Yunqi Conference or the Immortal Fire Festival. However, because the scale of the sacrifice is insufficient, or the wizard of the main priest is not good enough, the auxiliary musical and dance level cannot cause enough compassion for the great witches in the heavenly world, so it is impossible to cause very amazing changes in the people participating in the sacrifice. But these conditions can be changed! The most important thing is that the bloodline of the Wu family has not been cut off!"
