The girl who turned her head had a purple copper mask on her face.
The mask is half-packed, with strange patterns tattooed on both cheeks, and three holes for the eyes and mouth. The bright eyes and bright red lips look like they were painted with a pen under the reflection of copper.
"You, you are?"
My hands stopped at my waist. This mask should be Xiaolian in terms of body shape, clothes, and voice, but I always felt like something was wrong.
She smelled like a completely different person.
"Hahaha, Xiaodao, are you shocked?"
The girl on the kang took off her mask, revealing a beautiful face.
"You, Xiaolian, what are you doing? We just made a fuss with those foxes at night, I thought you were possessed by something?"
I frowned and observed her carefully first. Yes, she was still the innocent girl, but why was that feeling so strange just now?
"Where did this thing come from?" I asked, looking at the mask in her hand.
"Ha, my mother is indeed right, if you bring this thing, it will definitely scare you.
"My mother just gave this to me. Why are you still standing there? Why don't you come here quickly?"
Xiaolian smiled.
"Where's Aunt Gu?" I asked her.
"Both my mother and father have returned to Zhaojiawan. They are afraid of trouble. If my mother makes such a fuss tonight, I don't know how many people will come to find out tomorrow."
Xiaolian said.
"Let me tell you, my mother told me two things before she left, and you have to do both."
"Okay, no problem, tell me, what does Aunt Gu want me to do?"
I came over and sat next to Xiaolian, and immediately smelled a refreshing fragrance. This was not the perfume sprayed by the female classmates in the city, but the body fragrance of Xiaolian.
Every time the two of us get close, I feel relaxed and happy. Now that there is no one else in the yard, I deliberately sit with her.
After experiencing the Great Fox Fairy, our relationship was almost ready to be officially announced.
Xiaolian rested her head on my shoulder and said leisurely.
"You're talking about my mother! I didn't know she could dance like this even when I was so old? Why did I ask her just now? My mother didn't tell me either."
Xiaolian fiddled with the mask in her hand.
"Xiao Dao, I suddenly feel that my mother is so strange? You don't know, she said a lot of strange things to me.
"What about fate, curse... it makes me confused."
Xiaolian sighed.
Curse, fate? This phrase is a bit similar to what grandpa said.
The scene before my grandfather died flashed through my mind, and I felt a strange feeling in my heart.
"Xiao Lian, what did Aunt Gu say? You can learn from me!" I asked hurriedly.
"What are you studying? You will go home in two days. You can ask it yourself!"
Xiaolian rubbed her head on my shoulder, looked up at me, and said.
"My mother asked me to tell you that you should find a suitable reason for her to do the Shenwu dance tonight, and don't let others harass her again.
"The second one?" Xiaolian bit her lip.
"The second thing is that she gave me this mask and said... let me give it to you."
Xiaolian's face was a little red, she spoke intermittently, and she didn't dare to look into my eyes.
I was thinking about these things in my head, and happened to ignore Xiaolian's strange behavior.
I reached out to take the mask and fiddled with it twice. The mask was very thin, almost like a piece of paper, but very strong. Judging from the material, it contained a certain amount of purple gold, but it was mixed with more precious metals.
It is made very carefully and is very smooth on the inside and outside. There are several ancient characters painted on the cheek, like a spell.
"I can't have this thing, so don't take it out and show it. Put it away and keep it."
"Why? My mother gave this to you."
Xiaolian sat up straight and looked at me in surprise.
"Let me tell you, this thing is very valuable. I have never seen such an exquisite mask.
"It's obviously made of metal, but it's as thin as a cicada's wing. And you see, it's very flexible."
I squeezed the mask twice in my hand.
"Really? I didn't notice it, so I thought it was quite fun. After putting it on, I felt like I was a different person."
Xiaolian took it and slapped it on her face.
"Do you look like the Queen of the Forest?"
After Xiaolian put it on, her aura changed again, becoming somewhat mysterious and majestic.
I was even more surprised. I had never seen such a thing before, even if I had heard of it.
Could it be the legendary psychic weapon?
Both my grandfather and Wang Banxian once told me about some of the treasures among the Four Wonders, such as the Five Elements Money in my hand, Wang Banxian’s gold-touching talisman made from the claws of a century-old pangolin, and Grandma Wang’s set of holding back treasures. Luobao's mother-in-law clam.
There is a very famous treasure in the psychic gate, called the Mask of the Witch God.
The specific age of it is unknown, but it is said that it contains a trace of the blood of the Witch God.
Ordinary people don't have much use after getting it, except that they can change their breath.
But it's different when it falls into the hands of a psychic witch. When you put on the mask of the shaman god and invite gods to go to the gods, you can not only get twice the result with half the effort, but you can often also invite powerful gods with superb magic powers.
But these are just legends in the world, and no one has ever seen the mask of the witch god.
Could the mask in Xiaolian's hands now be the Mask of the Witch God? If this is really the case, then this mask is a rare treasure.
I was lost in thought.
Aunt Gu gave me the mask at this time, which definitely had a special meaning.
Could it be that she wants to find a successor?
But now that I have become an exorcist, I will never take the path of psychics again. Besides, almost all psychics are born as girls.
"Don't pull it down. I'll put it away first. Then you can tell my mother yourself!"
Xiaolian suddenly became angry, put on her shoes and walked out.
"Hey, wait for me, where are you going? Xiaolian!"
"Where am I going? Second Aunt said you are not preparing for dinner? What are you doing? Don't you still want me to eat?"
Xiaolian walked in front of her with great energy, and I followed behind in confusion.
When we arrived at the village headquarters, there were already two tables in the room.
Zhao Zhijia and his two sons, plus Du Jun and the so-called major figures such as Wang Man, Zhao Dangdao, Liu Qingshan, and Liang Li, sat together. There were two empty seats, which happened to be Xiaolian and me.
At the other table was Zhao Zhi's lover, leading Lan Yue and several other educated youths.
"Come, come, nephew, niece, hurry up! Sit next to uncle. Come on, everyone is here, hurry up and eat, you're all welcome."
Zhao Zhijia pulled me over and pressed me next to him. Opposite me were his two bald sons, Zhao Jin and Zhao Bao.
After these two guys drank a few glasses of wine, they stopped talking. At first, they were worried about Zhao Zhijia, waiting for the atmosphere to relax and his father's face to be red from drinking.
Zhao Jin and Zhao Bao are a bit exposed.
Zhao Jin jumped out first, slapped his chest loudly, and the topic turned to me.
"Brother, I know you are capable, but you are the Jade Emperor's brother-in-law. If you become my brother-in-law, you have to call me brother."
"right,"
Zhao Bao followed closely, and he made a fool of himself.
"Zhou Xiaodao, don't think what's wrong with you? I'm telling you, your kid is not very honest in doing things.
"My sister is just a flower, and there are many people chasing her. But she just likes you. Why don't you think about it? You should hurry up and make arrangements, tell your family, and settle the matter as soon as possible!"
