Chapter Forty-Eight: The Beauty Snake
The shards on the mask fell quite a bit, and soon the contents were revealed.
Qi Guanshan looked at the rest of the mask stiffly, with a hint of horror in his eyes.
I saw that under the mask, there was a thin layer of skin-like object close to the skin color, which looked a little weird.
Qi Guanshan tugged at the corners of his mouth: "This won't be what I thought, right?!" ”
Fu Zhaozhao cleaned up the remaining fragments, took out the whole flake inside, and placed it in front of his eyes.
"That's what you think." Fu Zhaozhao's tone was a little gloating.
After the pieces were cleaned up, the contents of the mask compartment were revealed, which was a mask in the shape of a human face, with skin like clotted fat, and the touch was not much different from that of a real person.
The only difference is probably that the skin is a little cold to the bone, and it feels extraordinarily slippery, which inevitably reminds people of the skin of snake creatures.
Just as the two were studying, Xiaobao, who was passing by, seemed to see something interesting and hurriedly stepped forward.
Xiaobao: "Huh! Where did you get this stuff?! ”
Fu Zhaozhao: "...... Do you know? ”
Xiaobao took the human skin mask, touched it carefully without the slightest precaution, and then put it under the tip of his nose and sniffed it gently.
"Have you ever heard of the Beauty Snake?" Xiaobao asked.
The other two shook their heads.
"Haven't heard of it?" Xiaobao didn't believe it, and then he was relieved: "This thing is actually quite famous!" But this thing has been around for a long time, so it's normal for you not to know. ”
Fu Zhaozhao asked, "What do you say?" ”
Xiaobao was just about to open his mouth to give them the science of the beauty snake, when suddenly the mobile phone received some information, and after looking at it, he frowned and sighed.
"Uncle Seventh has something to do with me, I'll look for you later, you can keep this thing first, it's better not to touch it as much as possible." After Xiaobao finished speaking, he returned the things to the original owner, Qi Guanshan.
Qi Guanshan suddenly didn't take it, and he couldn't hold it, so he could only look at Fu Zhaozhao with resentment, wanting her to help think of a way.
In the end, Fu Zhaozhao only patted him on the shoulder and gave him a silent encouragement, "See you in the evening!" ”
Qi Guanshan was left alone, and he didn't dare to move.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye it's night.
It was pitch black all around, and Xiaobao lit a candle and carefully placed the human skin mask in the middle, and the three of them sat together.
"Since none of you have heard of the beauty snake, then I will tell you the origin of the beauty snake first." Xiaobao deliberately lowered his voice and said.
Qi Guanshan interrupted her and asked with a little puzzlement: "Is this matter related to not turning on the lights?" ”
Xiaobao glanced at him and said of course: "It doesn't matter, but it will be more atmospheric to turn off the lights." ”
Fu Zhaozhao interrupted the topic of the two of them: "Get down to business!" ”
Qi Guanshan sat back with a little grievance, and then pricked up his ears to listen to Xiaobao's speech.
"The beauty snake has existed for a long time, and it is not clear when it began, but just like the name, the people who became the beauty snake were some beauties."
Fu Zhaozhao was puzzled: "You mean to say that the predecessors of the beauty snake are all humans?" ”
Xiaobao lightly lifted the human skin mask and said: "It's not strange, there are even many very famous gods, all of whom have been changed by people, whether they are gods, ghosts, or whatever, basically as long as they are related to human beings, there is a high probability that they will be transformed from humans." ”
"But this is nothing compared to others, the process of transforming the beauty snake from a human to a snake is a little too cruel."
Xiao Bao couldn't help but sigh when he said this.
Qi Guanshan: "What do you say?" ”
Xiaobao: "In ancient times, the status of women was relatively low, and even many rich families would deliberately raise some beautiful female babies in captivity, and when they grew up, they would either give them away or have other uses. ”
"But in the homes of these rich people, there may be a special hobby." Xiao Bao paused, as if he couldn't think of any words to describe the other party's perversion, "Anyway, they used a special method to separate a wound on the lower body of a young girl with a cute face, and then connect it with the body of a snake that had just died. ”
"After a long time, the lower body of the snake is equivalent to the lower body of the girl, and when she grows up, the snake body will also grow up."
"Then the rich people give these girls to dignitaries with special hobbies to use for profit - but the chances of success are too small, and few succeed."
"Moreover, when these girls who have succeeded in turning into beautiful snakes lose their use when they are old, they will take off their faces and sew them together with masks, which are said to have the effect of warding off evil spirits."
Qi Guanshan's expression was not very good-looking: "Are you sure it's to ward off evil spirits and not summon ghosts?!" ”
Xiaobao: "I don't know about this, anyway, according to the records, the main function of this thing is to ward off evil spirits." However, it is possible that I have been too long, and this ability may not disappear. ”
Fu Zhaozhao asked: "In addition to this, is there anything special about it?" ”
Xiaobao touched his chin and thought for a moment.
"Yes, yes, but it's not necessarily accurate."
"How?"
Xiaobao: "The predecessors of these beautiful snakes are all transformed by people, and they also have the seven emotions and six desires of people, I heard that when they fall in love with a certain man, they will appear by his side, in their dreams, until they take him away." ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent.
Xiaobao seemed to realize something in hindsight.
She gently pinched the human skin mask and said cautiously tentatively, "Don't tell me that this thing is entangled in one of the two of you." ”
Although Xiaobao said so, his eyes fell on Qi Guanshan's body, which meant clearly.
Fu Zhaozhao also set his eyes on him.
In the end, Qi Guanshan raised his hand and surrendered.
"Okay, according to what you said, it's no surprise that this beautiful snake has taken a fancy to me." He felt a little strange when he said this, and then quickly asked, "Is there any other way to solve it?" ”
Xiaobao hesitated a little and said, "Yes, there is, but this method is more troublesome." ”
Qi Guanshan: "How troublesome?" ”
Xiao Bao said straightly: "It's so troublesome that you have to find their corpses, and then bury them well, and the beauty snake that can freely enter and exit the dream is no longer an ordinary beauty snake, and I'm not sure if it will have an effect." ”
Qi Guanshan thought about it, turned his head to look at Fu Zhaozhao, and asked her, "Can the corpse be found in three days?" ”
Solve what can be solved first, and then talk about what cannot be solved.
Fu Zhaozhao: "...... Why are you looking at me and saying?! ”
Qi Guanshan then patted her shoulder solemnly, and said earnestly: "Zhaozhao, my life will be handed over to you." ”
Fu Zhaozhao declined the other party's invitation and asked him to settle it on his own.
