Chapter 1278 Unheard Music
The tone of this Lusheng is very special, not like a bamboo wind instrument at all.And a little more dull and distant, as if floating from ancient times.Fan Jiannan was slightly taken aback when he heard the Lusheng, and quickly said to Feng Yuan beside him, "Listen to this sound, who is playing what instrument?"

"Musical instruments?" Feng Yuan was taken aback for a moment, and said inexplicably, "I didn't hear anything. What did you hear?"

"Didn't you hear such a strange voice?" Fan Jiannan asked in amazement.

Linghu Yun next to Feng Yuan also had a puzzled expression on her face, she wrinkled her nose and said with a smile, "Could it be that you were fascinated by the singing of the Miao girl? But then again, we really didn't hear anything." .”

"No, someone must be playing an instrument, it seems to be a very old instrument." Fan Jiannan said seriously.

Cang Yunxiao patted him on the shoulder and said, "Jiannan, what's wrong with you, is it because you've been a little too nervous recently and haven't had a good rest. So some hallucinations?"

"No. Let me tell you, there is really a sound, and it seems to be very close, as clear as it is in my ear. It's just that the tone seems weird. It can clearly feel like a bamboo wind instrument, but it can be heard from it. It smells like a metal instrument, and it has a very desolate feeling. I can't describe it, anyway, it's really weird." Fan Jiannan looked around solemnly, pointed to the distance, and said, "The sound should be transmitted there. Come on, let's go and have a look."

"Whatever, if you want to see us, just stay with you. But we really didn't hear anything." Linghu Yun bumped Zhu Qingfeng who was beside her with her arm, "Hey, did you hear that?"

"Me?" Zhu Qingfeng frowned, "I just pay attention to you, my mind is full of your voice now, does this count?"

Linghu Yun punched him angrily and amusedly, "You will make me happy with your smooth tongue."

"It's not true, what I said is true." Zhu Qingfeng said with a playful smile.

They were talking, but Fan Jiannan walked forward alone.Cang Yunxiao felt a little surprised and called him in a low voice, "Jiannan?"

Fan Jiannan turned his head and made a silent gesture, "Don't talk, I seem to be able to feel it. That's right! It's right there, follow me." He strode over and turned a stone road, Came to an ancient house built on the hillside.

This brick-and-timber structure house looks very old, and the bluestone road paved at the door has been rubbed smooth.Probably because it was built against the hillside, it is a bit dark here.On the hillside behind, there is a stream of water hanging down from the mountain stream. After being blown by the wind, some of it scattered on the eaves. Clear water droplets dripped from the black eaves, and they made a slight sound when they fell on the ground.

"You said someone was playing an instrument here?" Feng Yuan frowned, "But I didn't hear anything."

"But I can hear it, and I can be sure that the player is inside." Fan Jiannan said in a deep voice, "And, it's in the inner courtyard."

"Is this impossible? Why didn't we hear it?" Linghu Yun asked Cang Yunxiao strangely, "Mr. Cang, did you hear anything?"

Cang Yunxiao frowned and said, "I didn't seem to feel anything when Fan Jiannan said it. But after walking a little bit just now, I seem to have a feeling. It seems that there is a faint voice, but it is very indistinct."

"Miao's bamboo wind instrument should be the Lusheng." Linghu Yun frowned, "But I really didn't hear anything."

Fan Jiannan whispered, "There is only one way to prove it. Let's go in and have a look, isn't it good?"

"Don't, although the Miao people are very hospitable. But it's a bit inappropriate for us to rush in like this." Linghu Yun hesitated and said, "Why don't we forget it, let's go."

"No, I must meet this person." Fan Jiannan shook his head and said, "I understand the reason why the performance was only heard by me."

"What's the reason?" Feng Yuan asked a little strangely.

"Because this person plays in a very special way." Fan Jiannan said slowly.

Feng Yuan asked strangely, "Why, only you can hear it?"

Fan Jiannan said slowly, "In almost all known witchcraft, there are mantras. Buddhist scriptures, Western witchcraft incantations, Taoist wishes, and even shamanistic songs. They are all A phenomenon in which spells are activated by sound, and this phenomenon is more pronounced in the older schools of witchcraft."

"You mean, the performance you heard is actually some kind of witchcraft?" Feng Yuan asked in surprise.

Fan Jiannan shook his head and said, "It's not witchcraft, but the way this man plays the instrument has something in common with some witchcraft spells."

Cang Yunxiao thought for a while and said, "I understand what Fan Jiannan means. Actually, I come from the school of mountain arts, and I know a lot about these things. The so-called mantra is some kind of secret language. And this kind of secret language is inaudible to ordinary people. I understand. Because its special pronunciation can only be mastered by people who have received special training. Therefore, even if you know a spell, there is a world of difference between someone who knows it and someone who doesn't. "

"That's right, it's like a Taoist talisman. Even if I know the shape, the talisman drawn from a gourd has no effect. It's completely different from the talisman made by Cang Yunxiao. The pronunciation of this performance should use some A very special way of pronunciation, so ordinary people can't hear it."

Feng Yuan smiled and shook his head, "Since you can't hear it, how can it be called a pronunciation method?"

Fan Jiannan shook his head and said, "Fortunately, you are still a highly educated reporter. You should know that the frequency of sound that human ears can hear is actually very limited. The lowest frequency that the human ear can hear is about 20 Hz, and the highest frequency is about 20000 Hz. It is a common and more recognized theoretical value. But most of the frequencies outside these two are not non-existent, but people can’t hear them at all.”

Feng Yuan was slightly taken aback, and said suspiciously, "I know this. Sound waves with a frequency lower than 20 Hz are called infrasound waves, and sound waves with a frequency higher than 20000 Hz are called ultrasonic waves. But if someone can really make such an inaudible sound, what do you do?" Noticed it?"

Fan Jiannan shook his head and said, "Because this sound is not outside, but near a certain critical point of the audible frequency, some people who are naturally more sensitive can detect it, but most people cannot detect it."

"Isn't it?" Linghu Yun frowned, "My ears are usually very sensitive."

"It's not the same as whether your ears are sensitive." Fan Jiannan shook his head and said, "Sensitivity to general frequencies does not mean sensitivity to special frequencies."
