As soon as Qiu Ying asked the question, he figured it out. The dense forest that appeared in the vast desert was obviously a mirage.
He took two steps forward and looked at the scenery in front of him. The more he looked at it, the more he felt something was wrong, because he could actually smell the vegetation. Could it be that he was hallucinating?
Qiu Ying's steps stopped, his eyes were solemn, everything around him was too real, his feet stepped on the grass, and he was sure that it was definitely grass.
Grass that really grows out of the soil.
"This is what the ghostly Dead Sea originally looked like."
Rongrong finally spoke, but the content contained in his words was far more terrifying than what he saw in front of him.
Qiu Ying felt a buzzing in the back of his head. Are the ancient ginseng trees in front of him and the long yellow sand behind him really the same place?
Rongrong said no more and just walked straight inside.
The men in yellow clothes behind him also gradually sneaked in. Qiu Ying could feel their aura, but he paid no attention to them. The ghostly Dead Sea itself was much more interesting than these puppet-like killers.
Qiu Ying followed Rongrong, and the man in yellow followed Qiu Ying, gradually getting deeper.
It's getting dusk, Chu land, border town, small earthen house.
The rough door curtain made of thatch was opened, and a young man with black clothes and white hair walked out. It is not common for young people to have white hair after all. What is even more unusual is that the young man has an extremely childish look on his face. mask.
This mask had an out-of-place sense of joy in contrast to his mature and capable attire, but the young man didn't seem to care. He held the monkey mask on his face with his hands and looked into the distance with satisfaction.
"Such a noble mask is just right for me. I have been wandering around for so long to find this good product. It must be qualified to become my king's artifact."
After muttering to himself, he was about to leave when he thought of something again and turned around, facing the room and saying:
"Mortals, if you donate today, the King of Japan will regain your divine body and you will enjoy God's grace forever."
Having said that, he seemed to be very happy, and in an instant, he disappeared without a trace.
Next, it’s time to get down to business.
In the small earthen house, the old man with a thin and yellow face and the old lady with the same thin and yellow face looked at each other in astonishment and felt angry inside.
They have lived on the border of Chu for most of their lives. They were Chu warriors who defended the territory in the past. They have rich experience. Who has not seen this?
But today this white-headed boy is really a scoundrel, which is unheard of.
He broke in without any explanation, thinking he was a robber, but in the end he rummaged through the box for a long time and only snatched away the monkey mask they bought for their grandson. He also said a lot of incomprehensible words to himself, which was simply incomprehensible and incomprehensible.
The old man and the old lady had already planned to fight with each other. They were the two prides on the border of Chu back then. Although they are older now, it is certainly not easy to deal with a small thief, but this person just wears a mask, which is really not the case. There wasn't enough reason to kill him. After being stunned for a while, the kid walked away.
Only the two most powerful people were left staring at each other in the room, not knowing what to do.
"Old man, what's going on? Now the enemy's spies have become idiots?"
The old man thought for a long time, stroked his beard, and said seriously:
"You and I will immediately send a letter to report to the general. This matter is not trivial. There must be some conspiracy on the Nanman side. I think the purpose of stealing the mask is to deceive others."
The next day, General Xiang Ji of the State of Chu Zhennan received an urgent letter. The letter came from two old generals who had fought on the battlefield for many years. Ji did not dare to neglect and immediately opened it and read it.
The letter is short, only four words.
"Be careful with the mask."
The next day, notices were posted at the city gates and major markets in the south of the Chu border city. The lists were also short, with only five words.
"Masks banned in the city."
According to the unofficial history "Anecdotes of Nanchui", on a certain day in a certain year, a secret letter was received from the general of Nanchui. The next day, the entire city of Nanchui was prohibited from producing, buying and selling, and wearing masks. Anyone who violated it would be punished by fighting. This ban was imposed the following year. Fang Fu, the reason for this cannot be tested.
