At the beginning of the lanterns, the streets were lined with red lanterns, and there was a sense of joy and joy everywhere, and the streets were full of people, and from time to time someone took a mask from a mask stand, put something in the box next to it, and walked towards the arched bridge in front.

Tang Rao took a closer look, and saw that there were gold, silver, paper, jade pendants, and even stones in the box, Tang Rao couldn't help twitching the corners of her mouth. After asking others, I found out that this mask holder was the mask used to participate in the marriage festival tonight, and the contents of the box were just casual.

"Yiruo, these masks are really the same, how can you find someone who wears the same mask as yourself when the time comes?" Looking at the masks that were exactly the same, Tang Rao was puzzled.

"I don't know about this, I heard that only the person concerned will know. But at that time, it was as if an agreement had been reached, and they would not disclose the slightest information to the outside world. Luo Yiruo replied.

"Why?"

Luo Yiruo shook her head and said she didn't know.

In the evening today, Tang Rao and the four of them arrived in Shaxi Town, looking at the inn that was full from time to time, Tang Rao couldn't help but rejoice, fortunately, Ah Chen was there, although the people were cooler, but the efficiency was very good. Everything will be arranged in advance at every place, otherwise everyone will have to sleep on the street tonight.

Originally, after dinner, Tang Rao planned to call Shangnangong Jingxue to play together, but who knew how to persuade Nangong Jingxue, he didn't go, let alone Ah Chen's cold-faced and cool brother. In desperation, he had to come out with Luo Yiruo.

Now there are two people who wonder about those identical masks. Suddenly, from behind the mask stand, a sixty-year-old man with gray hair and bright eyes came out. When he saw Tang Rao, his eyes widened suddenly, listening to the puzzled conversation between the two, Lao Suo couldn't help but step forward and said with a smile: "The girl looked at her eyes, she must have come from other places." ”

Looking at Luo Yiruo, who bowed his head and didn't speak, Tang Rao replied: "Exactly, dare to ask the old man why this mask is like this?" ”

"Hehe, the girl doesn't know that the marriage festival in our Shaxi Town was blessed by the immortals. Don't look at the mask that is exactly the same now, but once you put it on, you can pass through the mirror," Lao Suo said, pointing to a bronze mirror hanging on the mask shelf, "I see the appearance of my own mask, but it still looks white to others." ”

"So how do you find another mask of the same kind?" Tang Rao said curiously.

Lao Suo stretched out his hand and touched his snow-white beard and said, "Then you need to cross the marriage bridge first, and then others can see the style of their masks, and then you can find the person with the same mask." ”

"Marriage Bridge?" Tang Rao stretched out her hand and pointed to the arch bridge in front of her and said, "Is it that bridge?" ”

"No, it's just a pseudo-marriage bridge, the real marriage bridge is in the girl's heart."

"Heart?" Tang Rao thought for a while and muttered in a low voice: "Do you want to pass the level in your heart first?" ”

"Hehehe, the girl might as well give it a try, maybe that good marriage will fall from the sky." Lao Suo said with a deep face.

"Marriage? Can everyone get their own marriage, so that future men and women of school age only need to participate in this marriage festival, where is the use of 'parents' orders, matchmakers' words'? Tang Rao quipped.

Lao Su sighed and said: "Little girl, this god-given fate is so easy to get, some people only need to look at it, and some people can't find it even if they search for thousands of mountains and rivers." ”

"Why is that?" Tang Rao wondered.

"The eyes are not clear, the heart is not quiet, the argument is not good, the knowledge is bad, they are all mediocre people who disturb themselves and complain about others." Lao Suo sighed and said to Tang Rao: "The little girl has a bumpy relationship in this life, and she needs to let go of her knot as soon as possible." ”

Tang Rao looked at Lao Su in shock, could it be that he knew something, and said vigilantly: "Who is the old man?" ”

"It doesn't matter who the old man is, the important thing is that the little girl still needs to go up the marriage bridge, otherwise she will regret it for the rest of her life."

"Regrets for life? How can it be? Tang Rao remembered her parents in her previous life and sneered.

Lao Su only looked at Tang Rao fixedly and said: "This mask is not for nothing, and the little girl still needs to put down something on her body." ”

Tang Rao was stared at by the old man, and she took over the mask by a ghost. When Tang Rao reacted, the mask seemed to be on herself, and she couldn't put it down.

In desperation, he had to take off the only jewelry on his body, the hairpin, and when he was about to put it in the box, he suddenly remembered that this was the most beloved thing of the original owner before his death, and he couldn't leave him for a moment, and Nangong Jingxue had long forgotten the hairpin he sent. I silently said in my heart: Since you are no longer here, then live a good life in another world, I hope you can live a happy and cherished life. He glanced at the hairpin again and put it in the box.

Looking at the mask in her hand, Tang Rao's heart was at a loss, marriage? Didn't you decide not to marry for the rest of your life in your previous life, so what is the meaning of this marriage? Besides, can the so-called marriage really be known through this festival, Tang Rao obviously doesn't believe it. However, I heard that people who participate in the marriage festival can see the rare beauty in this world, and it is a pity to miss it so much, so this marriage festival will be regarded as a garden party. Hehe~~

"Rao'er, Rao'er?" Hearing Luo Yiruo's scream, Tang Rao turned her head and looked at her suspiciously, she didn't make a sound just now, why is she in a hurry now?

"I finally called you, just now you stood so stupidly, no matter how you screamed, it scared me to death." Luo Yiruo breathed a long sigh of relief.

"When did I go in a daze, the person in a daze is you, I've been talking to an old man just now." Tang Rao rolled her eyes and said.

Luo Yiruo was surprised: "Rao'er, aren't you confused, there are all young men and women here, where are there any old men?" ”

"That's not ......" Tang Rao stretched out her hand and pointed to the place where Lao Suo was standing just now, and then she was stunned, where was the figure of Lao Suo. Didn't you meet ...... just now? Tang Rao suddenly felt a cool breath rushing up to the top of her head, and her face turned slightly pale.

"What is it?" Luo Yiruo looked at Tang Rao and pointed to the open space and wondered.

"It's nothing, maybe I'm dazzled." Tang Rao said dryly.

Luo Yiruo looked at Tang Rao, who was stiff and pale, and said in surprise: "Why is your face so embarrassed, but it's uncomfortable, why don't we go back." ”

Get back? How is it possible, even if you don't want to know about marriage, you don't want to miss this rare beauty. Besides, he doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, maybe the old man just now was someone's prank, but he was more unlucky, and he just happened to run into it, the more Tang Rao thought about it, the more reasonable he felt. Pulling Luo Yiruo's sleeve and coquettishly said: "I'm fine, let's go have fun, we're here anyway, if you go back, wouldn't it be a pity to miss the rare beauty?" ”

Luo Yiruo said helplessly: "Okay, but you have to be careful of your body, if you feel unwell, go back immediately." ”

"Yes, little one." Tang Rao is naughty.

"You." Tang Rao laughed, stretched out his index finger and pointed at Tang Rao's forehead. casually picked up a mask and put it on, and walked towards the marriage bridge with Tang Rao, who was also wearing a mask.

And the figure of the white-haired old man appeared again in the open space just now, but everyone else went their own way, and no one found him. I saw that the old man sighed and said, "Girl, don't ...... again."
