In addition to the masks, there were also seven or eight sets of red, red, green and green costumes in the room with hangers, standing upright like people.

Of the five masks, one was pale and expressionless, and the other four were either hideous as demons or other strange and indescribable figures. They are carved from wood and painted heavily on the front, rough and ornate. But at first glance, even in the daytime, it's quite scary.

Su Xiaoyue turned around and asked the old man, "Did you find anything wrong in your family?" ”

"What could be wrong? It's all something that has been passed down from our ancestors. The old man blew his beard and glared, extremely dissatisfied with the behavior of Huang Laohan's uncle and nephew, and sneered at them: "Some people don't inherit and don't protect the things of their ancestors, and they plan to destroy them!" ”

Lin Kai activated the Psychic Eyes, and Su Xiaoyue also smeared his eyes with psychic water, and they saw an inexplicable strange aura wrapped around the mask, not like pure ghost energy. It is this breath that makes the otherwise normal mask give people a strange feeling, as if it has come to life.

As for the ghost, I haven't seen it for the time being.

As the sky became overcast, it did not look like a light rain at all, but it was a sign of a storm.

No one noticed that the old man standing on the outermost side had a strange expression on his face, as if he had put on one of the masks, but the next moment it was back to the same as before.

"Why don't they be put away when they're not in use?" Lin Kai didn't find it, so he asked with some curiosity. Aren't these props supposed to be in a cabinet?

The old man squinted at him and said, "I like to put it like this, what's the problem?" ”

“……”

This old guy's attitude was extremely uncooperative, Lin Kai and Su Xiaoyue glanced at each other, nodded to Huang Laohan's uncle and nephew, and then turned around and walked out the door.

Boom!

As soon as they went out, the door was closed tightly by the old man. Lin Kai looked at Su Xiaoyue, but saw her shaking his head and whispering: "It's indeed contaminated with some mysterious aura, but it's not like breeding ghosts." ”

"Looks like it's going to rain, let's go to my house first!" Huang Daquan looked up at the sky and said.

After they walked a little far, Huang Laohan sighed again: "The fifth is too stubborn, there are still a few people in the previous generation who have learned that set, after the big blow in the seventies, everyone has basically been abandoned, not to mention the young people now." That mask had been used for generations, but it happened that it was not destroyed in that great upheaval, and now it was regarded as a treasure by him. ”

"It's indeed a treasure, this mask has now been protected as an intangible cultural heritage, and it has the value of those years, and it can be used as an antique." Lin Kai nodded in agreement according to the information he had found before.

However, Huang Daquan said embarrassedly: "Come on, everyone thought it could be regarded as an antique, and they fought for it, but as a result, please ask the appraisal agency to take a look, it only has cultural collection value, and you want to sell it for a lot of money?" Dream on, there's a lot of this stuff all over the country! ”

……

After talking for a while, they came to Huang Daquan's house, a three-and-a-half-story small western-style building. But after a while, the clouds in the sky were blown away, and the sky became clear again, and it did not rain for a while.

Huang Daquan's family was at home at this time, and he heard him say that his daughter-in-law had gone to the field, and his daughter was studying in college in Donghai City.

As soon as the door closed and entered the living room, Huang Daquan prepared tea for everyone, but Huang Laohan was grim and said, "I just had something inconvenient to say outside." ”

"Huh?" Lin Kai and Su Xiaoyue looked at him and waited for the following.

"The fifth wife's wife went early, and the two sons worked in the city and rarely came back. Last Saturday, the youngest son and his wife came back for one night, and the next day the boy came to me and reflected a phenomenon, saying that when he got up in the middle of the night, he found that the fifth child was taking turns wearing those masks and robes, and he was talking to himself as if he was talking to someone. ”

Huang Laohan hesitated and said: "I didn't dare to spread this matter, but I discussed it with Youquan, and we suspected that several dead people were related to him." We don't have any complaints, we shouldn't have said such unfounded words, we are worried that if it really has something to do with him, more misfortunes will happen if it goes on like this, which is the main reason why we heard about Miss Su and decided to invite you over. ”

"Moreover, the fifth uncle also asked for a large-scale ancestor worship on the grounds that everything was not going well in the village, and he jumped to pray for blessings." Huang Youquan also said.

Lin Kai looked at Su Xiaoyue, and seeing that she didn't say anything, he said: "It's not related to the dead, if it's really sneaky and harmful, there must be fierceness, but we didn't see a fierce aura in the village just now." ”

Su Xiaoyue also nodded and said: "I also think it should be a coincidence, it's a bit arbitrary to draw conclusions now, and I'll go to explore the situation at night to see what's so strange about those masks." ”

There must be a problem, those weird breaths are not fake. But I can't feel the fierce aura from above, it's just a little mysterious and unpredictable, and I can't tell if it hurts people.

Considering that he had to investigate the situation in the middle of the night, Lin Kai asked his mother for leave in advance, and it was impossible to go back before eleven o'clock.

In the evening, Huang Youquan's daughter-in-law came back from the field. This is a country woman who doesn't talk much, and when she sees a guest at home, she just greets her and cooks dinner.

When preparing to start the meal, Huang Youquan called another clan brother of the same generation as him, who also spoke with great weight in the clan. Huang Laohan also had dinner here, and during the banquet, he pulled Lin Kai and Huang Youquan brothers to drink a bowl of rice wine each, and they talked more, and they ate for more than an hour before it ended.

It was already dark, and Lin Kai and Su Xiaoyue asked for a quiet room to rest in Huang You's family, preparing to go out again in the middle of the night.

In the room, Su Xiaoyue naturally wouldn't sleep with Lin Kai, she sat on the bed and meditated and practiced for a while, thinking that Lin Kai had nothing to do, so she simply taught Lin Kai her meditation method and asked him to try if it had any effect.

Lin Kai salivated and sat on the bed and said, "Xiaoyue, if I become an idiot after practicing, you have to take care of me for the rest of my life!" ”

"You have that kind of magical clear energy, even if you want to become an idiot, it's hard!" After Su Xiaoyue finished speaking, she ignored him and seized the time to meditate and practice.

Lin Kai relied on giving the ghost a mullpool to eat, and he didn't care much about meditation, he sent Su Xiaoyue a clear qi to help her practice, so he tried it casually according to her instructions. As a result, he found that although this meditation method did not have a significant effect on the improvement of clear qi, the speed of recovery and loss was several times higher. At this rate, he would be able to recover all the depleted clear qi in one night.

"Ye Luzi's cultivation method should not be underestimated!" Lin Kai put away his contempt and practiced seriously.

Next to him, Su Xiaoyue was helped by Qingqi, but the improvement effect was much more obvious than when she practiced alone, and she couldn't help but sigh in her heart. Wealth, Dharma and land are all indispensable conditions for maintaining cultivation, and one of the words of a couple is to have like-minded people in the same path to support each other. Lin Kai's Qing Qi has too obvious effect on assisting cultivation, and such a person is a suitable candidate for a Taoist couple.

Of course, Taoist couples are not necessarily husband and wife, they can be close friends or confidants of the opposite sex, and she has no plans to be with Lin Kai for the time being.
