It was obviously still afternoon, and although the sunlight was not abundant, it was not so bright that it could not even illuminate a shop with its door open.
Li Leping stood at the door of the store and looked inside.
However, the surroundings of the shop in front of them were dark and dull. There were obviously no windows, but there were only a few weak rays of sunlight that could squeeze in from outside, making it impossible for people to see everything inside clearly. It gave people a sense of
It feels so eerie that people subconsciously want to avoid it and dare not step in.
But Rong Yuansheng obviously has no worries. He has been trapped in this small town that repeats every day for many years, and he knows every household in the town very well.
He just walked into the store.
Li Leping frowned, but he followed immediately without hesitation.
When you walk in, you will find that the store seems much larger than what you see from the outside.
There are rows of shelves inside, with various masks on them. These masks are of different colors, including blue, green and red. They are not the Peking Opera masks used in traditional operas at all, but more like a mask.
This kind of mask embodies totem culture. It looks rough and simple, but it also gives people a gorgeous and solemn feeling.
Through the fine carving of the facial features, the images of these masks are also different. Some look fierce and ferocious, some look majestic and serious, and some are cunning and cunning. They look vivid and lifelike, just like each one.
The face with frozen expression is breathtaking.
After entering the room, Rong Yuansheng did not speak, but walked directly to a shelf and took off two masks.
Then, he spoke to Li Leping and said, "I suggest you get these two masks."
"reason?"
Li Leping looked at the two masks that Rong Yuansheng took off.
These are two extremely weird-looking masks.
One of the masks has an angry look and rough facial features that have been deliberately enlarged and exaggerated. It is completely inconsistent with the structure of human facial features. The chin is long and sharp, and the entire face is painted with a layer of cyan, making the already weird mask
It was given a bit of a strange aura, like a dead green face, filled with an ominous aura.
The other mask is equally weird. It is a mask painted white, but the facial features are not as rough as the cyan mask. Instead, they are somewhat delicate, like a woman's face, with slender and raised eyebrows, high and thin
The bridge of his nose and the deliberately elongated lips reveal a kind of expressionless majesty, which is a bit elegant, but at the same time carries an inexplicable sense of death, which makes people look a little uncomfortable.
"Have you ever heard of the myth of the Thunder God and the Lightning Mother?"
However, Rong Yuansheng asked such a somewhat puzzling question at this time.
"Thunder God and Lightning Mother?"
Although Li Leping was puzzled, he still told what he knew: "In ancient myths and legends, the God of Thunder and the Mother of Lightning are gods responsible for making thunder and lightning."
"This is a myth, but it is also a ghost show performed by the Nuo people on the stage." Rong Yuansheng explained at this time.
"While I was still alive, I analyzed that there would be a ghost show here, but since the stage was empty, I couldn't go deep into the back of the stage, so I had to wait until the Nuo people came out.
Find out what kind of show they are going to dance."
"In the myth, Lei Company is the god of thunder, and his magic weapon is a hammer drill. Dian Mu is the god of lightning. His magic weapon is two lightning mirrors. And the Nuo man who came out that day was holding a hammer drill in his hand.
And mirrors, which exactly match the mythical stories in our minds."
"It was just that time was too urgent for me at that time. Only when I saw what the Nuo man was holding did I realize the theme of the scene, and then I hurried to the mask shop and took away these two pairs.
mask."
"However, the consequence of delaying time is that this ghost show does not start on time, and the result is that one step is wrong and every step is wrong."
"This ghost show has not started for a long time, so the spectators below will naturally be unhappy. There are no masks on the stage, and problems will arise for the Nuo people who have been standing there stupidly. The town is out of control."
Li Leping's expression froze when he heard this, and he understood why Rong Yuansheng chose these two masks for him.
This is information gained in exchange for life.
In fact, when he heard Rong Yuansheng mention the myth, Li Leping couldn't help but think of the old woman named Meng Xiaodong who once revealed some secrets to them in Mingyue Community 301.
The myths and legends that have been passed down from ancient times to the present may not necessarily be false. The legends may be exaggerated and beautified, which may sound exaggerated, but the stories are often not fabricated out of thin air, but are born under some kind of inspiration.
Ghost stories may be more than just stories.
Correspondingly, myths and legends may not just be myths, but the good reputation left by generations of ghost masters after dealing with powerful ghosts. It is a story that has been beautified countless times.
"But are you sure that this scene of thunder and lightning will go on forever?" Li Leping asked again at this time.
After all, Rong Yuansheng had only witnessed that one ghost show.
No one knows whether the theater here will want to change its program after so many years.
"I'm not sure, so if the theme is changed, then you have to rely on your own analysis. But you are a ghost controller, and you are much stronger than me back then. At that time, I still had time to go back and forth between the stage and the store. You
Nature can do it too.”
After saying that, Rong Yuansheng emphasized: "According to what I know, the most important thing you need to be careful about is the Nuo people on the stage. I don't know if it was because I put the masks on them too late or because I put the masks on them too late.
Anyway, I was attacked by Nuo people and eventually died on the stage, so be careful not to follow my old path and capsize the boat."
"Don't worry, I know what's going on." Li Leping said.
"That's good."
Suddenly, after finishing these words, Rong Yuansheng raised his head and said to someone unknown: "I want these two masks."
It sounds like he is doing business with this store.
However, there is neither a front desk nor a shop owner here.
While he was talking, he also took out two banknotes from his clothes.
The banknotes are green and have denominations of three yuan.
correct.
These are two three-yuan notes.
"Three-yuan notes?"
When Li Leping saw Rong Yuansheng suddenly taking out money, he couldn't help but carefully look at these two banknotes that could never exist in reality.
He has never seen such banknotes in the supernatural world.
"Is there such a special banknote in the supernatural world? Is it used for purchases in such supernatural places?"
Li Leping analyzed it and came up with such a guess in his mind.
At this time.
Just after Rong Yuansheng opened his mouth.
A breeze blew from nowhere, and the two three-yuan notes in his hand were immediately taken away by the strange wind.
The banknotes were floating in the store and soon disappeared from sight, as if they had been taken away by the store as the price of the mask.
It seems that this place is not a place where prostitution can be done for free.
But Li Leping had a very bold idea.
If he wanted to rob someone, I don't know if this store could stop him.
However, this idea was quickly shelved.
After all, this is just a world that exists based on the supernatural. No one knows whether these masks will still exist after returning to reality.
If these masks disappear directly after returning to reality, it will be a real loss and all the work was in vain.
Besides, now is not the time for robbery.
If the shops are really looted, I'm afraid that terror will break out in this ghost town in advance.
"Let's go."
Rong Yuansheng, who had already paid, did not stay any longer and immediately walked out of the mask store with the two purchased masks.
"These banknotes seem to be quite useful. Do you have more?"
As soon as he stepped out of the store, Li Leping asked Rong Yuansheng this question.
After hearing these words, Rong Yuansheng suddenly stopped, turned his head, and looked at this unfamiliar face with a look of astonishment.
The shock in his eyes was like looking at a man-eating beast.
My people are dead, and you still ask me for money?
This sounds really funny.
I have only heard of living people giving money to the dead, but Li Leping was probably the first person to ask the dead for money.
"If you don't have it or are unwilling to give it, forget it. I won't force you."
Li Leping didn't change his expression and didn't think there was anything wrong with his words.
In his opinion, since a person is dead, there is no need to bury him with his inheritance.
A living person holding a supernatural prop will definitely play a much more useful role than a dead person holding a supernatural prop.
"well……"
After a moment of silence, Rong Yuansheng sighed, then took out a banknote from his clothes and handed it to Li Leping along with two masks.
"Really?"
Li Leping didn't expect Rong Yuansheng to be so generous, but he still decisively took the mask and banknotes.
In this place, masks and banknotes are particularly important things to him.
The mask itself represents whether the ghost show can proceed normally.
The banknotes represent a chance for Li Leping to make a mistake.
If the performer on the stage today is not "Thunder God and Lightning Mother", then he can still use the seven-yuan banknote to save his life, judge what kind of ghost show will be played today by observing the Nuo people, and then rush back to the mask shop to start again.
Purchase two masks.
Buying something is definitely much safer and less troublesome than robbing something.
"There is really no use for me to hold these things. Just treat them as money to ask you to help me send messages. If you can get out alive, help me find my family and tell them..."
Then, Rong Yuansheng said a lot of things that Li Leping needed to help.
"Did I say too much?"
Realizing that something was wrong, he stopped saying "bah bah bah".
"It's okay, I understand and I have remembered everything."
Li Leping still looked expressionless, making it impossible to tell his emotions.
But what he said was indeed true.
Although he is not a person who is easily remembered, and he loses some memories from time to time, most of his memories are still firmly engraved in his mind.
Normal people's memories are often incomplete, and it is impossible for the brain to remain in a high-load state forever, allowing people to remember everything that happens around them and every word they hear.
Because of this, normal people's memory is often divided into instantaneous, short-term and long-term memory.
But Li Leping is different. His memory is not maintained by the brain, but by the supernatural. Naturally, there is no problem of how long it will last.
As long as he doesn't take the initiative to forget, he will always remember his past like a person with a photographic memory.
Memory is more like a movie to him.
A movie that can be rewinded, paused, and deleted at any time.
"That's good."
Seeing that Li Leping had no objection, Rong Yuansheng didn't say anything more, but continued to walk back along the way he had just come.
Li Leping didn't say anything, but looked at the mask and banknotes in his hand, looking up and down.
The style of this mask is indeed weird, but when you hold it in your hand, you will feel that this mask just looks weird in style. There is nothing special about it, and you can't feel any supernatural aura.
But Li Leping knew that this was most likely because the mask had not yet taken effect.
According to normal people's thinking, masks are meant to be worn on the face.
Perhaps only when the mask is worn on the face will the mask reveal its supernatural and weird side.
As for that seven-yuan note...
It looks similar to the three-yuan banknote. It is also colorful and a bit like the previous two-yuan banknote. It is only slightly different in details. The biggest difference is the difference in numbers.
The purchasing power of seven-yuan banknotes is obviously much stronger than that of three-yuan banknotes, but the place where such banknotes are consumed is definitely not ordinary shops, but such supernatural places.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! I just don’t know where such strange banknotes can be produced.
"By the way, are you the only person in this place who was formed after death? Have you ever seen a guy covered in bandages before me?" Li Leping put the banknotes away and asked.
He has not seen Xu Jin yet, but he is not sure whether Xu Jin came in with him.
"The guy covered in bandages?"
Rong Yuansheng shook his head and said that he had never seen this person before.
Then, realizing something was wrong, he asked: "What, you mean, someone else came in with you?"
There was some unbelievable surprise in his words.
After all, he hasn't seen a living person for a long time. If he saw two living people who entered this horror movie in a row today, I'm afraid he would feel that he was lagging behind the times.
I worked my butt off to complete four horror films, and finally managed to get on the set of the final horror film.
As a result, after so many years, I worked hard and went through several lives and deaths to get to the set here, but now two new actors broke in at once.
This has quite a feeling that one's end point is only the starting point for others, which sounds extremely uncomfortable.
However, what made him even more uncomfortable was what Li Leping said next.
"Maybe the person who came in with me was not a human, but a ghost."
Li Leping was very calm and seemed a little disapproving, as if he was telling a trivial matter.
Only Rong Yuansheng stumbled a few times, and then looked at Li Leping with a horrified expression.
"Someone sneaked in?"
His brows suddenly jumped, his eyes suddenly shrank, and his whole face seemed to be covered with a layer of haze at this moment.
Why didn't we talk about such a big thing until now?
