Folk Card Maker: Starting from Painted Skin.

Chapter 36 Sister Drum [Purple]

Although Zhang Jingtian did not specify this time, Huapi and Yingning both understood each other and knew that they should stay by Zhang Jingtian's side.

But Yingning would be a little worried:
"Master, will he get into trouble again this time?"

After Painted Skin glared at Yingning, Yingning immediately stuck out her tongue playfully and quickly explained, "I'm sorry, sister, I didn't mean it. I was just talking nonsense! Master, there will definitely be no problem!"

Zhang Jingtian returned to the card-making space again, still feeling a little scared.

After all, he had just had an accident.

And judging from Yingning and Huapi's reactions, his body might have been damaged as well.

If I come in again, will the same thing happen again?

However, Zhang Jingtian shook his head violently. He couldn't let his mind wander while he was in the card-making space, as that would cause his mental focus to falter.

After taking a deep breath, Zhang Jingtian concentrated his mental power and touched the three pieces of material.

The three materials came together again, and this time no accidents happened.

Zhang Jingtian breathed a sigh of relief, then picked up a special pen and began to write the story on the cards.

It still had the same beginning, but this time nothing unusual happened after he wrote it down, except that the word "Tantra" automatically became blurred.

Zhang Jingtian ignored it and continued writing:
[xx believes that sacrificial items made from girls under the age of 16 can communicate yin and yang and better connect with the gods.]

Still nothing strange happened, and Zhang Jingtian immediately relaxed.

The drumhead of the "Human Skin Drum" is made from the skin of a virgin 16-year-old girl's back, the body is made from the girl's skull, and the drumstick is made from the girl's leg bones. It can be said that every part of the "Human Skin Drum" is made from human body parts.

The production process of "human skin drums" is also extremely brutal and bloody. The makers will choose girls with pretty faces, fair skin and who are born deaf and dumb as materials. If the girls are not born deaf and dumb, their eardrums will be punctured and their tongues will be cut off when they are young.

As they grow up, they cannot have any scars on their bodies. If they have scars, they will be regarded as useless and will be thrown out with their hands and feet cut off.

When they are 16 years old and still intact, they will undergo a ritual to make a "human skin drum." This involves knocking a small hole in the girl's skull, then pouring mercury into her body from the head. When the mercury reaches various parts of the body, they begin to peel off the skin of the tool. All of this process is done while the girl is still alive.

In the game produced by Zhang Jingtian, the protagonist will explore a copy similar to this one.

Therefore, he is quite familiar with the production process of human skin drums.

What terrified Zhang Jingtian the most was that such an inhumane and cruel process actually existed.

After Zhang Jingtian wrote all this, the double-sided drum that looked very dull began to shake violently, and the piece of skin was also trembling. Even in Zhang Jingtian's ears, there was the sound of cold wind and crying.

But Zhang Jingtian didn't move at all. His mental strength was now highly concentrated and he could no longer be affected by the outside world.

However, this story is incomplete. If it were just this, then what he made would only be the most ordinary human skin drum, not the story of the Ajie drum that later became widely circulated.

So Zhang Jingtian calmed down and continued writing:

【A long time ago, a girl lost her sister who was born deaf and dumb. 】

She searched and searched, always looking for her elder sister, but unfortunately no one knew where she had gone.

Many years later, the girl walked into a temple where a monk was beating a drum.

Every time the monk struck the drum, a roar echoed through the sky. The girl heard her sister's voice, calling her.

[Later she found out that the drum was the sister she was looking for...] [There is also a song that records this story:
My elder sister couldn't speak since she was a child.
I left home as early as I could remember.
From then on, I thought about it every day
Sister

I always thought of my sister as big as her
I suddenly understood her
From then on, I searched for it every day.
Sister

An old man sitting in front of the Mani pile
Repeating a sentence over and over again
Om Mani Padme Hum

The sound of drums came from the horizon
That's my sister talking to me.
Om Mani Padme Hum

When Zhang Jingtian was writing the lyrics, the bass drum started moving by itself, and waves of drum sounds seemed to come from the horizon.

The piece of leather automatically covered the big drum, and a plaintive singing voice came from the drum.

After finishing the story, Zhang Jingtian felt that his mind was occupied by this chant.

He shook his head and began to draw the card.

Soon, a beautiful double-skin drum appeared on it.

But who would have thought that such a beautiful and majestic drum is actually a cruel and terrifying human skin drum!

Then Zhang Jingtian gave this equipment card a name:
【Human skin drum·Ajie drum】

Then Zhang Jingtian wrote his name on the back of the card.

After doing all this, Zhang Jingtian was not only exhausted, he even felt like something was staring at him.

After a while, the card made by Zhang Jingtian was recognized by the world.

When he exited the card-making space exhausted, he found a brand new card at his hand.

Moreover, it really is a purple card!
【Human skin drum·Ajie drum】

Quality: Purple.

Star rating: three stars (out of five stars).

Category: Equipment.

skill:
[Beat the Drum]: Beat the human-skin drum, and waves of drum sounds will come from the horizon, triggering special effects on all beings except the heroic spirit of the card maker: [Possession], [Soul Summoning].

[Embrace]: The card maker's Heroic Spirit gains a 3% bonus to Speed, 3% to Strength, 3% to Defense, and 3% to Critical Hit Chance. For Ghost Heroic Spirits, the bonus effect is doubled. (Bonus value determined by the equipment card's star rating and level.)
[Summoning Spirits]: Within a ten-meter range of the card maker, ghost spirits and monsters below purple quality (excluding purple) will be controlled by the sound of the drum.

Both effects disappear immediately after the drum sound stops.

The equipment card has only one skill, and it is very simple to trigger. All he has to do is beat the drum.

However, the two accompanying effects are quite powerful.

The first is a positive buff, which will benefit your own heroic spirits, and the ghost clan will also get a double bonus.

Not to mention summoning souls, when he encounters small monsters and ghosts attacking him again, he can summon their souls to make them his subordinates and counterattack against stronger beings.

In this way, Zhang Jingtian will have a greater advantage in the civil war among the ghost clan.

As expected of a purple-quality equipment card, it made him a key player in the battle.
