The so-called taiko drum is one of the representative musical instruments of neon, the drum body is generally made of whole beech wood (high-grade) or catalpa wood (low-grade) polished smooth, both sides covered with cooked cowhide and made, neon in addition to the use of taiko drums in the war to boost morale in addition to the use of diseases or as a welcome to the gods, generally with shakuhachi, Japanese thirteen-stringed koto, five-stringed lute, shamisen, kagura bell and other local musical instruments.

Because the number of neon cattle is not too much, so the taiko drum that needs to be used in large quantities of cowhide is also a high-end musical instrument with a lot of price, it is not easy to get together a drum band in ordinary villages and towns, and it takes many years of accumulation to do so, due to the cost problem and the timbre is slightly single, so it is rare to use the taiko drum as the main instrument alone, in terms of Wu Liang's experience in the mission world, this is the first time to experience the pure taiko drum festival on the spot, and it is inevitable that he will be a little dizzy by the strange sound waves. It wasn't until I stuffed the two earbuds into my ears that I felt a little more comfortable.

It is also strange that Wu Liang's perception is too acute, so it is inevitable that he will feel very uncomfortable under the attack of loud noise, and the followers whose perception sensitivity has dropped several orders of magnitude compared to Wu Liang's situation is much better, and the absorbent cotton used for disinfection is stuffed into the ears, as for the majority of ordinary people who are busy making money at the festival to support their families, they have long been accustomed to this kind of rumbling drum that can attract guests and bring money, and they don't feel how noisy it is at all.

Well! It's just that there are many times when you can't hear the customer's order and cause the loss of business to make people feel a little annoying, which is not a big problem!

Accompanied by the rumbling drums like thunder on the flat ground, Wu Liang and his hungry followers ate all the way along the Shinto Road from the front of the mountain gate, and along the way, they swept away all kinds of food prepared in advance by the shops along the street in order to cope with the large flow of customers around noon, and the eleven big stomach kings (the two Sanada sisters and Ranmaru have not yet been strengthened and retain their normal amount of food) came together and burst out with a powerful lethality that made the food reserves of the shops that were swept along the street fall below the yellow line. I had no choice but to take advantage of the fact that it was too early for the festival to officially start and send extra manpower to the nearby Cami City to urgently purchase and replenish it, and the great opportunity to make money naturally couldn't be missed, right?

Wu Liang and his group, who had a huge brown paper bag in their hands and ate while walking, did not care about the strange sights that looked like monsters around them, and solved the breakfast problem that was enough to eat an ordinary well-off home at a very high speed, and then swaggered so much that they occupied a good position with an excellent view in the front row of the stands, drinking tea and eating while waiting to watch the performance.

The reason why the group was able to occupy the front row was entirely because of the portable weapons and two ninja beasts that Wu Liang and several people hung in a conspicuous position and two ninja beasts that were not ordinary at first glance, and the ordinary people who didn't want to cause trouble for themselves were very rational enough to give up a small rectangular space of three by five, which allowed Wu Liang and his party, who were late, to mix in the front row of seats and not stand to watch the festival.

After the group had just sat down on the bench for about ten minutes, the noise in front of the shrine stopped one after another under the stop of several priests dressed in onmyoji costumes, and one should be the god lord The elderly priest climbed the attic on the second floor of the shrine accompanied by four uniquely shaped shrine maidens, and took out a long scroll and muttered in a strange tone for nearly a quarter of an hour, to the effect that he prayed to the heavens to bless the new year with good weather and abundant crops and no large-scale disasters. Old Japanese sounded more laborious, and Wu Liang was not interested in listening to an old man chanting, so he just figured out a rough idea.

After reading through the content written on the scroll, the old god set it on fire in front of everyone and said to the heavens, and then signaled the two hardcover men who were covered with tattoos and scars standing on the side, and who were not good people at first glance, to beat the ghost drum, and with the three-hook jade ghost drum with a diameter of four meters on the drum surface was beaten, more than two hundred faces below were different in size and style, and all kinds of drums of different styles were also immediately added, and for a while, the neat drum beat made the audience's heartbeat uncontrollably speed up or slow down. The mood of the audience was gradually affected and they became more excited, and a few people also danced a folk dance with the four witches in the attic on the second floor to the rhythm of the drums.

The sound of music played purely by the sound of drums can play a good role in mobilizing emotions for ordinary people, but the impact on Wu Liang and his followers is relatively limited, and the group can be said to simply regard the festival as a lively view, only Lan Maru, who has poor physical fitness, was unconsciously affected a little bit, but after replacing the cotton ball in his ears and eyes with the same soundproof earplugs as Wu Liang and taking a cup of calming medicine, the negative impact gradually began to subside. It allows him to continue to watch this shocking performance that he usually has no chance to watch on the spot.

After the performance of a passionate drum music similar to the formation, many drummers upstairs and downstairs stopped neatly with a tacit understanding, and a middle-aged priest came forward to announce the official end of the opening event of the festival instead of the previous old priest, and then it will enter the second stage, that is, the drummer competition in the village and town is about to kick off, hoping that the audience can cheer for the team they support, and talk nonsense.

After the introduction, Wu Liang learned that a total of 11 teams selected from surrounding villages and towns participated in the competition, and each team brought a special repertoire that had been rehearsed for a whole year, and all the hard work was just to win a ringing opportunity to be transported out of the attic through a series of fixed pulleys to install the portable shrine and get thunder-patterned ghost drums to pray for their hometown.

After the eleven different styles of drumming are played, the giant thunder-patterned ghost taiko drum that was originally parked on the attic of the second floor of the shrine has been placed on the gorgeous portable shrine full of flowers, and a large group of strong men wearing only a crotch cloth and a headband are also ready. Carrying a heavy portable shrine down the mountain to Kami Castle for a walk around and then turning back, even if it is a year to pray for the blessing festival into the climax, there will be a curtain call and a fireworks display in the evening, a set of activities tossed after the day has passed, this festival will also draw a rest, people in the hard work should also be ready for the next year's festival, the country life is so simple to repeat.

Of course, this is before anything goes wrong!
