Chapter 14 014. A Foreign Bodhisattva
The next day, eight o'clock.
Lu Jian came to the Jiangcheng City Library again. In the eyes of the young librarian girl, Lu Jian is probably a very studious, young and promising young man.
He is carrying a backpack, which contains some books to pass the time, power banks, self-heating rice, water, snacks, drinks, flashlights, first aid supplies, etc.
Lu Jian found a newspaper from more than 20 years ago this time.
At that time, the Internet was underdeveloped, and many things were not remembered on the Internet, but copies of newspapers that are officially published every year are kept in the city library, and you only need to apply for registration to view them.
Lu Jian searched for almost an hour, but only found scattered news about the Jiangcheng Grand Theater.
Including the transfer statement and related reports, fire reports, and news about the well-received plays in the past, etc.
Lu Jian is not a famous detective who can solve a case while sitting in an easy chair, and these clues are just old news to him.
He only noticed that in the relevant reports of Jiangcheng Grand Theater, the name of a pianist named Du Danping was often mentioned.
Among them, in 1997, Jiangcheng Evening News had a character column written about him.
[Du Danping was born in a musical family. He has been influenced by music since he was a child.]
[.Du Danping's composing style is changeable, he is very proficient in everything from folk music to European classical music, and his composing speed is extremely fast. It is said that he once wrote ten pieces in one night, and all of them were adopted. According to interviews, Du Danping said that music often appears in his ears The melody, he just recorded these melodies, he can be called a genius.]
[.On the evening of the 19th, Du Danping held his first solo recital of the year at the Jiangcheng Grand Theater, which was a complete success. The audience and guests including the leaders of Jiangcheng City highly praised Du Danping's performance.]
[.According to the reporter in front of this newspaper, the body of the pianist Du Danping, who unfortunately died in the fire at the Jiangcheng Grand Theater, was buried yesterday, and people from all walks of life came to express their condolences.]
"Who's playing. Could it be this guy?"
According to the development of general mystery novels, this kind of pianist who rose to fame but died in a fire is a big problem.
Lu Jian silently recorded Du Danping's photos and some key information in the newspaper, copied the architectural design drawing of the Grand Theater, and when he was about to leave, he had a sudden inspiration and found Du Danping's performance video back then.
The video quality in the 1990s was not high. On the huge stage, under the spotlight, a young man in a suit was sitting in front of the piano. As the theater quieted down, his fingertips began to flow on the black and white keys.
Originally, Lu Jian had considered the possibility that Mr. Du Danping, a musical genius, was a time traveler, but after hearing the sound of the piano, he dismissed the idea.
It was music that Lu Jian had never heard before. It was light, bright, and mellow like a nightingale. It was hard to imagine that it came from a heavy piano. Even Lu Jian, who knew nothing about music, could hear it from Feel the joy and joy in the music.
The music soon entered the second movement. The deep tune made the listener's emotions drop suddenly, just like a winter blizzard, beating on everyone's heart, completely opposite to the previous joy, just like growing up carefree of children have stepped into youth and have suffered setbacks from society and growth.
Afterwards, although the song is still heavy, it no longer has those sharp edges. Instead, it looks like a magnificent movement that is compatible and inclusive, solemn and steady, like a winter plum that finally blooms after suffering.
In the end, the chords are intertwined, and the powerful music stops abruptly at the most exciting point, which freezes people's impression at the peak.
Very good piece and performance.
Lu Jian's evaluation.
He thought about it, made a part of the music into Yantan, downloaded the digital version to his mobile phone, and watched other interview videos of Du Danping before leaving the library and heading to the former site of Jiangcheng Grand Theater.
On the subway, Lu Jian took out "Golden Bough" from his backpack, but he didn't pay full attention to this anthropological work. Those text distortions about how ancient humans created beliefs became systematic explanations. .
Lu Jian clicked into [Silent Department Store], and he was going to buy some goods to deal with the task at night.
What he wants most must be something that can exorcise evil spirits and suppress unclean things.
"By the way, what kind of faction is the ghost in this mission?"
Lu Jian pondered.
Some ghosts, such as zombies, essentially kill people by physical means, so they can be defeated with modern weapons.
Some ghosts, like Sadako and Kayako, are caused by spiritual beings, and the problem can probably be solved by using mysterious things such as spiritual power.
There are also ghosts, which are completely unreasonable, and you don't know how they come here. You will die when you see them. This kind of pure idealist can only fight with a heart of faith.
Lu Jian first looked at the products in the [Faith] category, wondering if there was anything in it that could restrain those unreasonable and weird things.
At first glance, he saw a god statue of excellent quality.
The base of the idol is a black ashlar stone, and a creature sits on it. The creature is bloated. There are pus and wounds on the turquoise stone. There is a huge mouth in the abdomen, showing sharp teeth. Its face is indistinguishable. The clean facial features are distorted like kneaded plasticine.
Just seeing the appearance of this god, Lu Jian felt a chill from his back and climbed straight up.
[The statue of the benevolent heavenly father]
[excellent]
[Exquisitely carved statue]
[Offer an offering and wait for a response]
[Then pray that you are lucky enough]
["On the wasteland, faith can determine everything"]
[Price: 666 Silence Points]
".Is this a statue?"
After reading the description, Lu Jian felt that this statue with 666 points of silence is definitely a big hole.
Who knows which god can be connected to after worshiping it.
Of course, from this point of view, Lu jian really believes that it can exorcise evil spirits—as long as it is scarier than ghosts, it can eliminate all weirdness!
"The foreign Bodhisattva is still unreliable."
Lu Juan continued to search, and found a product that was to the east.
It was a simple book, bound in thread, just like the martial arts secrets in martial arts novels, but on the cover there were only strange and distorted foreign characters, which no one could decipher.
[Heming's pen talk]
[excellent]
[Notes recording taboo knowledge]
[The works of Taoist Heming have always been collected by rich people in the abandoned capital]
[Longevity, strength, wealth, people try to find worldly desires from them]
[Crazy is the only end for most people]
.
[Price: 700 Silence Points]
". It seems that the Chinese style is not very good."
Lu Jian thinks that this kind of riddle-like product is probably very tricky.
He rummaged for a while, and finally found a product that looked pretty good in the [Secret Treasure] category.
That is a suona.
