The welcoming bells and drums must shake the heavens and earth. Only in this way can respect for the guests be expressed.
In the Sharp Sword Sect, the Martial Artists who are in charge of the welcoming bells and drums have undergone many years of training; yet even so, it's still hard for them to continuously play the welcoming tune three times in a row.
Three times is a threshold. Once it exceeds three times, the might that shakes the heaven and earth will backfire, causing damage to their hearts and lungs.

Thus, they appeared extremely relaxed until now, when the third guest arrived, and their faces turned dark.
