Chapter 25: Peking Opera Masks
When Xiao Yu decided to retreat for a few days, the two remaining in the Demon Emperor Bell were definitely considered high-level formations for now.
Several members of the Defenders League were also discussing them in their base camp in Hell's Kitchen.
In the Battle of the Docks, Luke "Wonder Man" injured his left leg in a duel with Kamiji Ida of the Hand Club, so he is now leaning against Jessica's side on crutches and enjoying the sweet care of his beautiful girlfriend.
"I said, can you two not show affection in front of me and Matt's two single dogs! Don't you know that there is a saying in the ancient East that says that Xiu En'ai dies quickly? Luke, I want to warn you that you're still hurt, so you'd better take it easy! ”
After the safe withdrawal from the dock, they began to show affection to the current two, so that the lonely single iron fist really can't stand it.
Matt, who was sitting quietly on one side and wiping the guide stick, only smiled faintly when he heard Iron Fist's joke, and did not directly say anything to Luke.
However, the long stick in his hand kept making aggressive sounds, which still showed his clear position.
"You are envious, jealous, what kind of oriental proverb, this is all iron fist, you single dog, you are nonsense!"
After eating Jessica's peeled apple in a few bites, Luke said triumphantly to Iron Fist.
"Nonsense? Don't say that, Luke, if it had been before, I would have looked at these old proverbs, customs, and legends with a sense of listening and doubting.
However, after seeing the group of guys wearing Peking Opera masks falling from the sky at the pier, I don't dare to despise these legends handed down by the ancients! ”
Seeing Luke take the bait and pull the topic back to the Eastern proverb, Iron Fist thought for a moment, and then said solemnly to a few people with a serious face.
"What? Those guys in fancy masks are mysterious? Isn't it just that you can fly!
I'll admit I was shocked when I saw that they could all fly. But my little Jessica can also fly, and it's not unusual! ”
After sitting down against Jessica and carefully placing his injured left leg on the chair in front of him, Luke said with a disdainful expression.
"Also, those guys were so arrogant at that time, why did you still take the initiative to give in? Although our Defender Alliance is not invincible in the world, according to the sharp strength of the man wearing a blue mask who killed Ida Kamiji at that time, we may not be opponents, but Iron Fist, your performance is too cowardly! ”
At this time, Matt, who was on the side, heard Luke's slightly questioning and dissatisfied tone, and was afraid that the two would be estranged, so he quickly interjected and said for Iron Fist:
"No, Luke, Iron Fist handled it appropriately. Do you remember that I deliberately stimulated the other party verbally, wanting to test them to see how confident they are, and whether they dare to do anything to us?
As a result, everyone saw that the guy who was wearing a gold and silver mask and was in the lead, although he didn't immediately attack us, didn't hesitate at all to do it or kill us directly! ”
Nodding silently, Jessica, who has been busy peeling fruit for Luke, the big stomach, also agreed with Matt's words at this time,
"Tekken and Matt are right, these guys with strange masks aren't easy. They didn't just let themselves float, but directly controlled a strange black cloud and lifted them up.
And not all five of them can fly, as far as I can see, among the five, the guy wearing the gold and silver mask can fly, and the other four are just carried to fly.
You know, it's much more difficult than just flying, and he can control the black cloud as he wants, how to say, it feels like driving the black cloud as a car or an airplane! ”
"How is it possible to drive clouds in the sky?"
After listening to Jessica's analysis of whether or not several people could fly, Luke and Matt were all surprised.
"Soar through the clouds!"
When Jessica didn't know how to explain, Iron Fist, who had been silent for a while, suddenly spoke.
After drawing the attention of several people, Iron Fist continued:
"There are some things, I'm not sure, just speculations that haven't been proven yet. Actually, I decided at that time to give in to these face-painted people, who are likely to be Oriental monks, and it was not just the flight problem you mentioned. ”
Speaking of this, Iron Fist paused, looked at the three people present, and saw that they were not in a hurry to interject, but just looked at themselves curiously, and then explained:
"You all know that I am cultivating the 'qi' that has been circulating in the East for a long time, right? When the first four of them had just descended from the sky, I had a vague feeling that three of them contained a higher level of 'true qi' in their bodies than the 'qi' I had cultivated.
At that time, I guessed that they were not simple, and they should all be super masters.
Later, after coming into close contact with the two people who came to intercept us, I was convinced that they were cultivators from the East, and it was possible that they had come from a super force that had been passed down for a long time. ”
"Super power!"
"Iron Fist, how do you tell that they came from those super forces in the East? Didn't you say that there are very few forces in the East that can compete with Kunlun? ”
After hearing Iron Fist's suspicions, Matt asked him in a heavy tone.
This is because Matt is well aware of the horror of the super forces in the East, and his master Stick Su once instructed him not to provoke the cultivators of the ancient Eastern country at will before he left the school.
Because you don't know when you will get into trouble with those super forces that are hidden in the world, bringing endless trouble to yourself, and in serious cases, you will even lose your life directly.
"There are very few forces that can compete with Kunlun, but, Matt, few does not mean nothing! Moreover, there is a reason for my guess.
You see the face they wear too, right? Because you don't know the face masks these people wear, that's why you think it's just an ordinary mask.
If you know the origin of Facebook, you won't think these colorful masks are fun. In China, Facebook can be traced back to the Shang and Zhou dynasties in the first millennium BC!
At that time, the face mask was called "Wu", and in a kind of religious music and dance that specialized in exorcising ghosts, the dancer would wear a mask of the "Golden Four Days", so the "Wu" was actually a mask in religious mythology.
After thousands of years of inheritance and cultural integration, 'Wu' has gradually faded its mythological color and completely integrated into the oriental opera, forming the face mask we see today.
In modern times, due to various cultural shocks, except for works of art such as Peking Opera, face masks have rarely appeared in the eyes of the world.
The guys who suddenly appeared on the dock will choose Facebook to make a mask to hide their identity, it will definitely not be as simple as doing it randomly, coupled with their own strong strength, I guess they are likely to come from, with a deep heritage and this kind of cultural heritage, so they love the relatively rare mask of Facebook. ”
After listening to Iron Fist's simple science popularization of Facebook, Matt put aside his doubts about Facebook for a while, and asked with a heavier heart:
"And then? I understand you, Iron Fist, you won't be easily succumbed just because the other party is only a person who is suspected of being a super power, after all, your Kunlun itself is a behemoth! ”
Iron Fist also nodded helplessly, before continuing:
"That's right, if they were just super-powerful Eastern cultivators, I wouldn't be succumbed easily, after all, the glory of Kunlun wouldn't allow me to bow my head, even if their cultivation was stronger than mine.
The real reason why I don't want to directly clash with the other party is that I found out when you deliberately tested their confidence, Matt, I originally wanted to stop you, but even if I wanted to give you a look, it was useless!
Just when the leader of the boss, who was wearing a gold and silver mask, was thinking about whether to do anything to us, do you remember that the two people who wore the red mask and the black mask came to intercept us empty-handed? Where did the weapons come from in the hands of these two guys after that? ”
"yes, the two of them didn't have weapons in their hands at first, and then when we were about to fight, why did they suddenly have weapons? Luke, did you see that? ”
Hearing Iron Fist's question, Jessica thought for a moment and turned to Luke beside her.
"I didn't really notice this, the atmosphere was so tense that my attention was all on their leaders. At that time, I thought, if there is a war, I will knock him down first! ”
After thinking about it for a while, Luke shook his head and replied in the affirmative to Jessica.
"Strange, I didn't hear them pick up weapons from behind or from the ground!"
After Matt finished speaking, he and Luke and Jessica 'looked at each other', you look at me, I look at you, and I was directly stunned, and the other party conjured up a weapon silently, have you encountered a 'ghost'?
