The Mysterious Recovery of the Forgotten World

Chapter 493 Myths and Stories

It was still afternoon, and although the sun wasn't abundant, it wasn't enough to illuminate even a shop with an open door.

Li Leping stood at the door of the shop and looked inside.

However, the surroundings of the shop in front of me are dark and dark. There are no windows, but there are only a few faint rays of sunlight outside that can barely squeeze in, making it impossible to see everything inside clearly, giving people a feeling of The extraordinarily eerie feeling makes people subconsciously want to avoid this place and dare not step in.

But Rong Yuansheng obviously has no scruples. He has been trapped in this small town that repeats every day for many years, and he knows every family in the town well.

And so he entered the shop.

Li Leping frowned, but he followed immediately without any hesitation.

When you walk in, you will find that the store seems to be much bigger than it looks from the outside.

There are rows of shelves inside, and there are all kinds of masks on them. These masks are of different colors, blue, green, and red. They are not the Peking opera masks used in traditional operas at all, but more like a mask. This kind of mask embodies the totem culture. It looks rough and simple, but it also gives people a gorgeous and solemn feeling.

Through the fine carving of facial features, the images of these masks are also different. Some look fierce and ferocious, some look majestic and serious, and some look treacherous and cunning. The face with the frozen expression is breathtaking.

After entering the room, Rong Yuansheng did not speak, but walked directly to a shelf, and then took off two masks.

Afterwards, he spoke to Li Leping and said, "I suggest you ask for these two masks."

"reason?"

Li Leping looked at the two masks that Rong Yuansheng took down.

These are two masks that look extremely strange.

One of the masks is full of angry eyes, and has rough facial features, which have been deliberately enlarged and exaggerated. It does not conform to the structure of human facial features. It was added with a bit of a strange atmosphere, like a dead green face, full of ominous atmosphere.

The other mask is equally weird. This is a whitewashed mask, but the facial features are not as rough as the blue mask, but rather delicate, just like a woman's face, with slender and raised eyebrows, tall and slender The bridge of the nose and the deliberately elongated lips reveal a kind of expressionless majesty, with a bit of elegance, but at the same time, there is an inexplicable sense of death, which makes people look a little uncomfortable.

"Have you heard the myth of the Thunder God and the Lightning Mother?"

However, Rong Yuansheng asked such a somewhat inexplicable question at this moment.

"Thunder Lord and Lightning Mother?"

Although Li Leping was puzzled, he still told what he knew: "In ancient myths and legends, Thunder God and Mother Thunder are the gods who are responsible for lightning and electric discharge."

"This is a myth, but it is also a ghost show that the Nuo people on the stage will dance." Rong Yuansheng explained at this time.

"When I was still alive, although I analyzed that there would be a ghost show here, but because the stage was empty, it was impossible for me to go deep into the back of the stage, so I had to wait until the Nuo people came out. Find out what show they are going to dance."

"In the mythology, the Lei Company is the god of thunder, and the magic weapon is a hammer drill, and the electric mother is the god of lightning, and the magic weapon is a double-sided lightning mirror, and the Nuo who came out that day was holding a hammer drill in his hand. And the mirror, which just matches the fairy tale in our impression."

"It was just that the time was too urgent for me at that time. I realized the theme of the scene only after I saw the things in Nuo's hands, and then I hurried to the mask shop and took the two pairs mask."

"However, the consequence of delaying time is that this ghost show does not start on time, and the result is that one step is wrong and every step is wrong."

"This ghost show hasn't started for a long time, and the spectators below will naturally be unhappy. There is no mask on the stage, and the Nuo people who have been standing there will also have problems. The town is out of control like this."

Li Leping's expression froze when he heard the words, and he understood why Rong Yuansheng chose these two masks for him.

This is intelligence in exchange for life.

In fact, when Rong Yuansheng mentioned the myth, Li Leping couldn't help thinking of the old woman named Meng Xiaodong who had revealed some secrets to them when they were in Mingyue Community 301.

The myths and legends that have been handed down from ancient times to the present may not necessarily be false. The legends and stories may be exaggerated and beautified, which may sound exaggerated, but the stories are often not fabricated out of thin air, but born under some kind of inspiration.

Ghost stories may be more than just stories.

Correspondingly, myths and legends may not be just myths, but the reputation left by generations of ghost masters after dealing with ghosts. It is a story that has been beautified countless times.

"But are you sure that this drama about Thunder God and Lightning Mother will continue?" Li Leping asked again at this time.

After all, Rong Yuansheng only witnessed that ghost show.

No one knows, after so many years, whether the stage in this place will want to change the show.

"I can't be sure, so if you change the theme, then you have to rely on your own analysis, but you are a ghost master, and your strength is much stronger than that of me back then. At that time, I still had time to go back and forth between the stage and the store. You Nature can do it too."

As he said that, Rong Yuansheng emphasized again: "According to what I know, the Nuo people on the stage will be the ones you have to be most careful at that time. I don't know if it was because it was too late for me to put on their masks or How, in short, I was attacked by the Nuo people and died on the stage in the end, so be careful yourself, don't go my old way and capsize the ship."

"Don't worry, I know it well." Li Leping said.

"That's good."

Suddenly, Rong Yuansheng raised his head after saying this, and said to someone, "I want these two masks."

It sounds like he is dealing with this store.

However, there is neither the front desk nor the owner of the shop.

While he was talking, he also took out two banknotes from his clothes.

The banknotes are green and all have a denomination of three yuan.

correct.

These are two three-yuan notes.

"Three yuan notes?"

Li Leping, who saw Rong Yuansheng suddenly took out the money, couldn't help but carefully look at these two banknotes that could never exist in reality.

He had never seen such banknotes in the spirit circle.

"Is there such a special banknote in the spirit circle? Is it used for purchases in this kind of spirit place?"

Li Leping analyzed, and then came up with such a guess in his mind.

At this time.

Right after Rong Yuansheng spoke.

A gust of wind blew from nowhere, and the two three-yuan notes in his hand were immediately taken away by the weird wind.

The banknotes floated in the shop and quickly disappeared from sight, as if they had been taken away by the shop as the price for masks.

It seems that this place is not free to prostitute.

But Li Leping had a very bold idea.

If he robs him by force, I don't know if this store can stop him.

However, this idea was quickly shelved.

After all, this is just a realm based on supernatural existence, and no one knows whether these masks can still exist after returning to reality.

If these masks disappear immediately after returning to reality, it will be a real loss, and the work will be in vain.

Besides, now is not the time to rob.

I really looted all the shops, I'm afraid this ghost town is about to break out of terror in advance.

"Let's go."

Rong Yuansheng, who had already paid, did not stay any longer, and immediately walked out of the mask shop with two bought masks.

"The banknotes seem to be quite useful. Do you have any more?"

As soon as he stepped out of the shop, Li Leping asked Rong Yuansheng this question.

Hearing these words, Rong Yuansheng suddenly stopped in his tracks, turned his head, and looked at this strange face with astonishment.

The astonishment in those eyes seemed to be looking at a man-eating beast.

I'm dead, and you still ask me for money?

This sounds really funny.

I have only heard of living people burning money to the dead, but Li Leping is probably the first one to ask the dead for money.

"It's fine if you don't have it or you don't want to, I won't force it."

Li Leping didn't change his face, and didn't think there was anything wrong with what he said.

In his view, since a person is dead, there is no need to bury him with his inheritance.

Living people holding supernatural props are definitely more useful than dead people holding supernatural props.

"Ugh……"

After a moment of silence, Rong Yuansheng sighed, then took out another banknote from his clothes, and handed it to Li Leping together with two masks.

"Really?"

Li Leping didn't expect Rong Yuansheng to be so generous, but he still took the mask and banknotes decisively.

In this place, masks and banknotes are especially important things to him.

The mask itself represents whether the ghost show can go on normally.

The banknotes represent a chance for Li Leping to make a mistake.

If today's performance on the stage is not "Thunder God and Lightning Mother", then he can still use the seven yuan notes to save it, and judge what kind of ghost show will be performed today by observing the Nuo people, and then rush back to the mask shop to start over again. Purchase two masks.

Buying things is definitely much safer and less hassle than robbing things.

"It's really useless for me to hold these things. Just treat it as money for me to spread the word. If you can get out alive, help me find my family and tell them..."

Then, Rong Yuansheng said a lot of things that needed Li Leping's help.

"Am I talking too much?"

Realizing that something was wrong, he stopped saying "ba la ba la".

"It's okay, I understand, and I remember everything."

Li Leping is still expressionless, people can't see his emotions at all.

But what he said was true.

Although he is not a person who is easy to remember, and he will lose some memories from time to time, most of the memories are still firmly engraved in his mind.

The memory of normal people is often incomplete, and the brain cannot always maintain a high load state, allowing people to remember everything that happened around them and every word they heard.

Because of this, normal human memory tends to be divided into transient, short-term, and long-term memory.

But Li Leping is different. His memory is not maintained by the brain, but by supernatural powers. Naturally, there is no question of how long it can be maintained.

As long as he doesn't take the initiative to forget, he will always remember his past like a person with a photographic memory.

Memory is more like a movie to him.

A movie that can be rewound, paused, and cut at any time.

"That's good."

Seeing that Li Leping had no objection, Rong Yuansheng didn't say anything more, but continued to walk back along the way he came just now.

Li Leping didn't say anything, but looked at the mask and banknotes in his hand, and looked them up and down.

The style of this mask is indeed weird, but when you hold it in your hand, you will feel that the mask just looks weird. There is nothing special in itself, and you can't feel any supernatural aura.

But Li Leping knew that the high probability was because the mask hadn't worked yet.

According to normal people's thinking, masks are used to wear on the face.

Perhaps only when the mask is worn on the face, the mask will reveal the strange side of the supernatural.

As for the seven-dollar note...

It looks similar to the three-yuan banknote, and it is also colorful. It is a bit like the previous two-yuan banknote, but the details are slightly different. The biggest difference is the difference in the number.

The purchasing power of seven-yuan banknotes is obviously much stronger than that of three-yuan banknotes, but the consumption place of this kind of banknotes is definitely not an ordinary shop, but this kind of supernatural place.

I just don't know where such strange banknotes can be produced.

"By the way, are you the only person who formed after death in this place? Did you see a guy covered in bandages before me?" Li Leping put away the banknotes, and then asked.

He hasn't seen Xu Jin yet, but he's not sure if Xu Jin came in with him.

"A guy covered in bandages?"

Rong Yuansheng shook his head, saying that he had never seen such a person before.

Immediately afterwards, he realized that something was wrong and asked: "Why, you mean, someone else came in with you?"

There was some unbelievable surprise in the words.

After all, he hadn't seen a living person for a long time. If he saw two living people who entered this horror movie in a row today, he might feel that he was behind the times.

In the past, I worked so hard to finish four horror films, and finally managed to get to the set of the final horror film.

As a result, after so many years, I had worked so hard to get to the set here after going through life and death several times, but now I was rushed in by two new actors.

This is quite a feeling that one's own end point is just someone else's starting point, which sounds extremely uncomfortable.

However, what made him even more uncomfortable was what Li Leping said next.

"Maybe it's not a person who came with me, but a ghost."

Li Leping was very calm, and seemed a little disapproving, as if he was telling a trivial matter.

Only Rong Yuansheng staggered a few times, and then looked at Li Leping in horror.

"Someone got in here?"

His brows twitched suddenly, his eyes shrank suddenly, and his whole face seemed to be covered with a layer of haze at this moment.

Why didn't you talk about such a big thing until now?
