Chapter 1369 Eight Hole Pottery Xun
The thing on the table looked black and inconspicuous at all.Fan Jiannan tried to pick up the thing, but found that the weight was completely different from what he had imagined.He frowned, "What the hell is this? I thought it would be heavier."

"It looks like a shot put, but it's not so round, it's more like an egg. What's it made of? Is it some kind of metal?" Long asked boldly and strangely, looking at the thing on the table.

"It's not like metal, it's more like pottery. There's a small opening on it, like some kind of container." Fan Jiannan frowned.

Feng Yuan shook his head and said, "What, this is a musical instrument. I seem to have seen it before, it should be called Xun, Tao Xun? Yes, it is Xun, it is used for playing, and there should be six holes under it." She leaned closer to have a look. Looking at it, he frowned and said, "Strange, there are indeed holes here, but why are there eight?"

"A musical instrument? Used to play it?" Fan Jiannan said in astonishment.

Wu Nanming nodded and said, "Miss Feng is really insightful. This is one of the oldest musical instruments in China. Its name is the Xun. Ordinary Xun has six holes, but this Xun has eight holes. That's why it's called the Xun. Kong Xun."

Fan Jiannan said strangely, "Didn't you want to show me the secret of longevity? Why did you show me this again?"

Wu Nanming smiled and said, "Because this is the secret of longevity. The secret of longevity has never been a book, or the legendary elixir of immortality. At least the secret of longevity I have come into contact with is this thing."

Fan Jiannan thought for a while, and his expression changed, "You mean, the secret of longevity you have come into contact with is some kind of music or sound?"

Wu Nanming shook his head, "I made it very clear, this thing is the secret of longevity."

Fan Jiannan looked at him strangely and said, "You mean... this instrument is the secret of longevity? How is it possible? Could it be possible to live forever by playing this thing every day? If that's the case, this thing is not a Xun."

"What is that?" Long boldly asked strangely.

"If that's the case, this thing is not a Xun, but a cow, not a Xun, but a braggart." Fan Jiannan shrugged.

Feng Yuan couldn't help laughing at what he said.Wu Nanming said helplessly, "I'm serious. There have been many manifestations of witchcraft since ancient times. Music and dance are the earliest manifestations of witchcraft."

Fan Jiannan nodded and said, "I know that. Wuyin and Nuo dance are ancient forms of witchcraft. After all, vision and hearing are the most subjective and direct feelings of human beings. These feelings are different from meditation. Because they affect not only It’s one person, it’s a group of people.”

Wu Nanming nodded, "Yes. Sight and hearing are the most intuitive. Look at this Tao Xun and play it in a special way. It will have a real witchcraft effect. This is the same as reading books and other things. It's taught in a completely different way. It's based on a particular way of understanding, so everyone will come to different conclusions."

"It's true that music itself is full of controversy, such as rock music. Some people sound like fairy music, while others dismiss it as noise. Everything comes from the understanding and feelings of the listeners to the music." Feng Yuan thought thought about it.

Wu Nanming sighed bitterly, "The truth is not so romantic. In fact, I prefer a more scientific term, resonance, or resonance. According to my long-term observation, this witchcraft of the secret of longevity actually has some kind of Selective. And the selection conditions are extremely harsh. So very few people can adapt, that is to say, most of the people who tried to learn the secret of longevity died."

"In other words, not only people choose witchcraft, but witchcraft itself also chooses people." Fan Jiannan frowned.

"Yes, if a person who has learned this kind of witchcraft can adapt to this kind of witchcraft, then he can succeed. And almost more than 90.00% of people can't adapt." Wu Nanming said slowly, "From this point of view , Zhang Jian and I are two different species."

Long boldly said suddenly, "This reminds me of the ancient saying about seeking immortality and longevity. According to many legends, the road to immortality is extremely tortuous and long, and it is difficult for ordinary people to persevere. But even if you succeed, it depends on whether you have this fate. Could these legends be the best commentary on the secret of longevity by the ancients?"

"Maybe." Wu Nanming sighed, "It is this difference in understanding that leads to different results for each person. I asked them to find out whether they can be avoided in some ways. Reach a consensus. Then explore the only correct and perfect secret of longevity."

"What's the result?" Fan Jiannan frowned.

"It's a mess. The three of them have completely different understandings of the secret of longevity, and they are also different from mine." Wu Nanming said in frustration, "It seems that if we want to find out the complete secret of longevity, we can only learn from the witches in Hetu and Luoshu. Wen started."

Fan Jiannan stared at the xun made of clay, and smiled wryly, "It looks like an extra-large duck egg. It's really hard to believe that this thing is the secret of longevity. Can I try it?"

"Of course, I brought you here just to show you that I have absolute trust and no reservations in you." Wu Nanming nodded and said, "If you are also interested, you can try it. But if you don't Like me, you better be careful."

"No!" Fan Jiannan's father, Fan Jianqiang, sternly said, "Old Wu, I will never allow my son to touch these messy things. You'd better take this thing away immediately. Otherwise, I won't be polite."

Fan Jiannan smiled slightly, patted his father's arm lightly and said, "Dad, I know what I'm doing. I'm no longer the kid who needed you to take care of everything. Don't worry, I know what to do."

Fan Jianqiang still shook his head firmly and said, "No, son. You don't understand, this thing is too risky."

"I think you can let him try." Luo Sihai, who hadn't spoken much, said suddenly, "None of the three of us can touch the real core of this Tao Xun, nor can we deeply explore the principles of witchcraft contained in it. In fact, so many Holy shit, we're still arguing about trivial matters."

"What are you talking about? He is my son! Are you going to let my son take risks? I think you are from the same line of Wushu people, and I decided to help you out. But whoever dares to use my son as an experiment I will never agree to it. Whoever does this, don't blame me, Fan Qiangqiang, for being ruthless." Fan Qiangqiang shouted angrily.

"It's not that serious, Brother Fan." Lin Ruogu smiled wryly.

"Don't call me a brother." Fan Jianqiang said sharply, "Why don't you let your female apprentice come and try?"

Lin Ruogu said helplessly, "Because I know she can't do it. But Fan Jiannan is different. His fate is unique, and his sensitivity to spells exceeds that of all spell operators. The most important point is that he is a triggerer. Theoretically, he is a The person who is most likely to trigger the truth. And his vitality is so strong that nothing will happen at all."

"That won't work either!" Fan Jianqiang raised his voice, "Who would dare?!"

"Dad, but I really want to try." Fan Jiannan smiled and said, "Besides, there are so many people here, if something really happens. Would you still watch me have an accident? Don't worry, I OK."

"No, son..." Fan Qiangqiang wanted to say something else.Fan Jiannan has already stretched out his hands, holding up the eight-hole pottery xun.

Holding the Tao Xun, Fan Jiannan felt a strange feeling in his heart, as if a strange rhythm was continuously transmitted to his palm along with the Tao Xun.His hands couldn't feel the vibration at all, but he could feel the tremor deep in his heart.

This feeling is very strange, let him sit there holding Tao Xun for a long time without moving.

"Jiannan, what's wrong with you?" Feng Yuan asked a little strangely.

"I'm fine, I just feel a little weird. This feeling is like the feeling when I listen to the silent reed. My ears don't hear the sound, but I can feel it. Something seems to be acting directly on my brain. , making me feel almost a whole body with this Tao Xun." Fan Jiannan said slowly.

"What can you feel?" Wu Nanming asked immediately.

"Vibration, or some kind of special rhythm. It feels so strange in the palm of my hand." Fan Jiannan shook his head.

"What else?" Wu Nanming frowned.

Fan Jiannan shook his head and said, "I'm not sure there are any other problems, after all, I just picked up this thing."

He picked up the black Tao Xun and observed it carefully.The age of this pottery xun is very old, and the production is a bit rough and simple.There are some patterns carved on the surface of the pottery xun. These patterns are not like purely decorative patterns, nor are they like some kind of characters. They look powerful but elegant, and look very simple.

"This is some kind of pottery pattern, which appeared before the cloud and thunder pattern and the Taotie pattern, it should be in the middle and late Neolithic age." Wu Nanming explained.

Fan Jiannan nodded, but looked at Tao Xun in a daze.The more he looked at the patterns carefully, the more dizzy he felt.It seemed that these solid patterns were alive, dancing in front of his eyes.But after calming down, everything returned to normal.

Fan Jiannan took a deep breath, and smiled self-deprecatingly, "I'm a little embarrassed when you look at me like this."

"You were a little absent-minded just now, what's going on?" Feng Yuan asked with some concern.

"It's nothing, just looking at the pattern on it, I want to see what's special." Fan Jiannan explained.

Long took a bold look and said, "So, is there anything special?"

"Nothing. It's just a pattern, not a variation of shamanism, nor a common decorative pattern. It's like a very simple pattern, superimposed on each other." Fan Jiannan frowned, "Feng Yuan, I remember you Have you said that this kind of xun usually only has six small holes besides the blowing mouth?"

"Yes, this should have something to do with the five notes called in ancient times. Press and hold these six holes, and you can play five notes." Feng Yuan nodded. "The pentatonic scale means that according to the sequence of five degrees, from Gongyin to Yuyin, the order is: Gong-Shang-Jiao-Zheng-Yu."

Fan Jiannan thought for a while and said, "So, as long as there are six holes in a xun, a complete piece of music can be played?"

"Yes, this is the standard five-tone sound." Feng Yuan said with a smile.

"This is a bit strange. If six holes can play a complete five-note, then what's the point of having these extra holes?" Fan Jiannan frowned. This time he didn't look at other people, but stared at Wu Nan Ming.Because he knew that others would definitely not be able to answer.

Wu Nanming nodded and said, "Your analysis is right. These other holes are silent. They can be played, but there is no sound. I don't know why, it seems to be completely redundant."

"Nothing is superfluous. Since this Tao Xun was made like this, there must be a reason for it to be like this." Fan Jiannan frowned, and continued to look at this weird Tao Xun.

After half an hour.Fan Jiannan held the Tao Xun to his lips, as if he wanted to try playing it.

It was just an ordinary attempt at first, but suddenly he trembled.His whole body was trembling violently, the pottery xun in his eyes seemed to come to life, and the carved patterns on it seemed to linger in front of his eyes.The visual impact went straight to his brain.His body trembled unceasingly as if being shocked by electricity.

"Jiannan!" Feng Yuan screamed and was about to rush over.But was stopped by Wu Nanming, "Don't go there! His current state is a bit special, and any little external stimulus will cause him to appear in a very bad situation."

"But him!" Feng Yuan couldn't help looking at Fan Jiannan, his face paled.

"Damn it, look at what you've done!" Fan Qiangqiang grabbed Wu Nanming and said viciously, "You'd better pray that nothing happens to my son, or I'll wring your head off and use it as a chamber pot!"

"Believe me Xiao Fan, it won't be long, he will be able to enter the state soon. Your son's ability to sense witchcraft is unprecedented, my God, it's unbelievable. It only took him ten minutes, I The first time I had this kind of reaction, it started to happen gradually after I studied the secret of longevity for a few years. This is the process of comprehension, some kind of ancient witchcraft." Wu Nanming said loudly. "It's just that I've never seen someone react so violently."

"Can we get this thing out of Fan Jiannan's hands now?" Long Boldly said, "His magic power has started to become very weird. I don't think he will be able to stand it."

"Wait a little longer, if he doesn't do it, I will stop him." Wu Nanming said in a low voice, "Please believe me."

Fan Jiannan's trembling suddenly intensified.The eight-hole xun he held in his hand was still vibrating non-stop, with a sense of rhythm that was hard to detect with the naked eye, it was spreading through his hands to his whole body, and went straight to the center of his brain, causing his body to feel uncomfortable. Consciously shaking at high speed.
