Fundamentals of Catching Immortals

Chapter 420 Fengdu City ([-])
A Xu opened his mouth in surprise, thinking about what to do with the mask in his head, He Shiyi nodded dispensable again.The little old man smiled brighter now, rubbed his hands together, and solemnly placed the candle in He Shiyi's hand: "Please, I'll go get the mask right away."

After all, the little old man ran away in a hurry.

"What do you want a mask for?" Seeing that the person had left, A Xu raised his head and asked He Shiyi.

He Shiyi took both of A Xu's hands, put the candle in her palm, then wrapped his own hand around A Xu's hand, and then looked at A Xu: "The one covering the face."

"I know a mask is to cover the face, but why cover the face?"

He Shishi chuckled, and before he could answer her, he saw the little old man walking over holding a bunch of masks.Some of these masks are a thin layer of jade, and some are thick bamboo and wood carvings. Although the materials are different, the masks are always good-looking.

"Little girl, is this the first time you've come back to Fengdu?" The little old man actually heard A Xu's question when he came, so he asked her with a smile.

Ash nodded.

"We have a rule here, people wear ghost masks, ghosts wear human masks." The little old man handed the mask to He Shiyi, and then explained to A Xu in detail: "Is our place connected to the underworld, after all, it's a bit evil People live in Fengdu, and it is best to wear a ghost mask when going out. The legend is that ghosts will find out that they are people and come to harm us. But this is just a legend. The eyes of a living person are much sharper, and if you close your eyes and sniff your nose, you can smell whether you are alive or dead."

The little old man said, rubbing his hands, and pointed to the masks he brought: "The ones below really have to wear masks. They are all ghosts, but they have to wear living masks. Do you know why? ?”

Axu sucked his teeth and asked hesitantly: "Why? I can't... Is it because I'm afraid that the living will see it?"

"That's not true." The little old man chuckled, revealing crooked teeth: "A dead person doesn't look good when he dies, the eyeballs of the hanged people burst out and dragged their long tongues, and the drowned face was as big as a washbasin. The face of the old and dead is blue, and the face of the sick and dead has sores... After all, it is not good-looking when you die, it is too ugly! So, when they live in Ghost World Fort, they have to wear masks. Ghosts also have a heart for beauty Yes."

A Xu opened his mouth, and it took a long time for him to say, "Ah...that's it." She lowered her head to look, and it turned out that the masks were drawn beautifully and tightly.

She used to wear a mask during the Shangyuan Festival before, but all the masks in the world are drawn to look like ghosts. The uglier and more ferocious the better, it turns out that the ghost's mask is as beautiful as possible.

Thinking of this, she picked out a virgin mask with a rosy face and a fair complexion, and a smiley smile on the corner of her mouth. It looked really pretty.He Shiyi picked out a faceless mask, which half covered his face, revealing his lips and chin.

"This?" He Shiyi pointed to the mask that A Xu picked out.

Axu nodded, reached out and handed the candle in his hand to He Shiyi, intending to put on the mask he had chosen.

But Crane Eleven didn't take the candle over, but directly covered Axu's face with the mask.A Xu looked out through the two small holes dug in the mask where the eyes were, but saw that there were no eyes on He Shiyi's mask.

"Can you see it?" A Xu asked, tilting his head.

"Hmm." He eleven nodded.
