Chapter 23: The Mask

Subsequently, Zhang Mazi and his mother also came out, holding a snow-white baby in her arms. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Zhang Mazi saw the baby, and was so frightened that he didn't faint.

The baby was so frighteningly white, and there was some gray and cyan in the white, which was very similar to the complexion of Zhang Mazi's father when he first lost his breath, if he wasn't struggling to move, he wouldn't look like a living person.

was surprised, and suddenly heard his mother sigh: "That girl is really pitiful, she didn't even look at it after giving birth to the baby, and she died of her breath." After a pause, he said: "I didn't expect her man to be so hard-hearted, seeing that the baby was a freak, he shook his hand and left without hugging him, and threw the baby to us." ”

Zhang Mazi said suspiciously: "Mother, do we want to raise this baby?"

His mother glanced at him, "Why don't you raise it? You haven't begged a wife at your age, and it will be even more difficult in the future." Now it's your luck to have a son for nothing. ”

Zhang Mazi let out a blank "oh", and his mother said again: "The man said before he left just now, there is a box in the bag they brought here, and the things in the box are left for the baby, and we can dispose of the rest casually, you can take a look at what is in that bag?"

Zhang Mazi took his bags and opened them in front of his mother, except for a one-foot square wooden box, all that was left was a few pieces of clothing, a few pieces of gold and silver, all of which were not worth a few dollars. Zhang Mazi didn't feel too disappointed, he didn't look like rich people when he looked at those two people before.

His mother asked him to open the box and take a look, but he hesitated: "Mother, didn't that son say that this thing should be left for the baby?"

His mother said: "You are really brainless, let's take a look first, if there is something that is suitable for use, use it first, and pass it on to the baby later, isn't it the same?" Besides, the man didn't say that he wouldn't let open this box, and he also specifically mentioned that there was a soul breaking spell in it, saying that it could be used to deal with the spirit beasts in the holy mountain of Cliff City, so that the baby could learn it as soon as he grew up. ”

Zhang Mazi was no longer entangled, and immediately opened the box, but after his mother looked at a few things in the box, her face suddenly became very heavy, and she immediately ordered him to hide the box, and not to tell anyone what he saw that day.

The roar of the beast that day actually alarmed many people, especially the huge beast's claws that broke through the sky, and the people who lived a little closer to the city tower could faintly see it. In order to appease the people, the city lord took a team of people to investigate the city tower that day, Zhang Mazi and his mother roughly said some things, but they did not mention the matter of the son and the girl.

Two years later, when Zhang Mazi and his mother were chopping firewood in the mountains, they were stung by a wasp with a big finger, and when they hurried home, they were almost dead, she didn't leave much for Zhang Mazi, but said: "If that man comes back to beg for a baby, you must not fight with him, just give it to him." If he doesn't come back, then you will always keep it well, but try to hide the baby's life experience. ”

Zhang Mazi asked, "Mother, do you recognize that son back then, and what is his origin?"

"I don't know him," said his mother, "but there was a treasure in the wooden box he left behind, which I had seen outside before." If the things in the box are also imitations, then it's nothing, if it's true, the news leaks out, and a few powerful people come over to the north, and the entire people in Cliff City will be finished. ”

After saying that, he swallowed his breath.

Zhang Feng patiently listened to Zhang Mazi finish telling this past in one breath, and he didn't interrupt once in the middle, and only at the end did he smile and say, "Dad, you drank some wine, and your level of storytelling has improved." ”

Zhang Mazi was stunned and scolded: "Stinky boy, who told you the story." I'm talking about the real things I saw with my own eyes, your father and your mother are not ordinary people, don't believe it. ”

Zhang Feng really didn't believe what his father had just said, and if nothing else, how could his own mother pass through the railing of the city tower like a wall? As for walking slowly in mid-air, it was more like a monster in myths and legends.

Some Immortal Sect cultivators can float more than 100 meters in mid-air without touching their feet, but the premise is to maintain a fast speed, pause slightly, and not fall off.

He knew that his father believed in ghosts and gods, so he didn't argue with his father, but said, "I believe it, how can I not believe what you say." Then he took the oil-paper bag that his father had left beside him, opened it, knocked on the wooden box inside, and asked, "Is this thing left to me by my own father?"

Zhang Mazi nodded: "There is a mask, a map, two pearls, and a spirit breaking spell in it, and I am not greedy for any of them." ”

Zhang Feng said: "Dad, what are you talking about? Isn't mine yours? Is there anything greedy or not?" He opened the box and looked at it, and first took out the pearl inside.

The two pearls are only the size of a finger, the texture is warm, and the shelled bird eggs are somewhat similar to the shelled eggs after cooking, they are called pearls, but in fact, the overflowing light is quite faint, and the night pearl he picked up in the pit before is completely incomparable, and if you look closely, you can find that there are several mist flowing in the two beads.

He'd never seen it before, so he didn't know what it was, but he guess it wasn't a treasure.

After studying it for a while, he put the beads back in the box in disappointment and took the mask out of it. It was a golden tiger head mask, he saw a boy on Baihua Street wearing this kind of mask, the appearance was exactly the same, and it was also golden, but the boy was wearing a wooden carved and painted with gold powder, this one was very heavy, it seemed to be made of real gold.

He rejoiced in his heart, such a large piece of gold was worth a lot of money. I bit it with my teeth at the moment, but I was disappointed that the thing couldn't bite at all, and the real gold wouldn't be so hard.

He waved the mask in his hand to his father and asked, "Dad, have you taken this item to have others estimate it?"

Zhang Mazi is usually relatively dull, plus he drank too much today, and his brain is even less bright, after hearing this, he was stunned for a while before he understood the meaning, and scolded: "Stinky boy, what your father left you, as soon as you get it in your hands, you want to sell it for money? ”

Zhang Feng disagreed: "The thing that grandma said before she died may be genuine is this, right? Dad, let me tell you, this thing is absolutely impossible to be true, the former spirit beast clan's Bu Yaxing King was killed by the outer gods and there is nothing left, how can the mask he wore remain? This must be made according to legend." ”

Although King Bu Yaxing is a member of the Spirit Beast Clan, this legendary figure from 10,000 years ago has left too much impression on the southerners, so much so that a considerable amount of space is still used in the general textbooks of the Immortal Sect Academy to introduce his life, but all the illustrations about this person are wearing a tiger head mask, and it is said that no one has ever seen his true face.

Zhang Feng's inference at this time is not unreasonable, there is a clear record in the history books that in the decisive battle 10,000 years ago, King Bu Yaxing and his mount Ghost Tiger were turned into ashes, and the mask he wore really had no reason to be passed down.
