Reaching out to stroke the half-wet bangs to his forehead, he said with a wry smile, "What do you want to do in the middle of the night?"

However, Xiao Xiao didn't answer her apprentice's question, but suddenly stretched out her hand, grabbed Ruan Mudeng's left hand, and dragged him into an alley.

"If you want to play at the festival, you have to follow the rules here."

He smiled and opened a door, and pushed Ruan Mudeng into the room, "Change your clothes first, and put on your mask, and follow me later, I promise to make you happy!"

Chapter 52, Seven, Youxian 04

A quarter of an hour later, Ruan Mudeng came out of the house, already changed into clean straight clothes.

The clothes are well cut, as if tailor-made, making the young man extraordinarily tall and straight, with dark blue background, delicate silver moiré patterns embroidered on the cuffs and hem, paired with a pair of thick-soled soap boots, just like a time traveler The son of the Ming Dynasty who lived in time and space for 400 years.

Ruan Mudeng also dried his half-wet hair and combed it neatly behind his ears. Although the length was not comparable to those of the passers-by wearing crowns on the road, it was not as obtrusive and conspicuous as before.

He also wears a wooden mask on his face, which is a light cyan mask with clean angles, and a conspicuous golden touch in the middle of his forehead. Judging from his face and color, he thinks it should be Zhou Cang in "Single Sword Club".

"Well, it looks much more pleasing to the eye this way."

Xiao Xiao nodded with satisfaction, even through the mask, Ruan Mudeng could still imagine his squinting and smiling expression.

At this time, the rain was getting weaker and it was about to stop, so Xiao Xiao simply put away the oil-paper umbrella in her hand, put it casually by the door, and then stretched out her hand to Ruan Mudeng, "Come on, let's go to the night market. "

Saying that, Xiao Xiao just grabbed his apprentice's wrist that was exposed outside the cuff, slid it lightly, and clasped his palm, and then, with an undeniable gesture, pulled him and walked towards the street .

Although Xiao Xiao used to make some physical contact with the young man, such as rubbing his hair, or pinching his face, but those actions showed the love and intimacy of the elders for the younger, which is different from the current two hands. Clasping tightly, the palms are close together, the mutual heat makes Ruan Mudeng feel that his whole body is burning from the skin, and the blood rushes straight to the top of the head together with the pulsating pulse in the body.

He only felt that the pinnae of his ears were burning hot, as if they were about to burn.

Fortunately, the streets were full of red lanterns at the moment, and the person beside him couldn't tell whether the conspicuous blush on his cheeks was reflected by the candlelight, or because of his embarrassment.

Holding hands, the two walked leisurely through the crowd.

The rain had stopped, and pedestrians put away their umbrellas one after another.Without the cover of umbrellas and rain, the masks on people's faces are more conspicuous. Some of them are strangely shaped and colorful, and reflected by the jumping and swaying lights of lanterns everywhere, it adds a bit of grotesque feeling. There is a bit of an atmosphere that is not like the world, but more like ghosts.

Ruan Mudeng noticed that there are quite a few stalls on both sides of the street, most of which sell local products, dough figurines, hairpins and combs, embroidered colored cloth, calligraphy and painting ancient books, etc. It can be seen that it is still handmade.

All this gave him the illusion that since he entered this mysterious village, he has already stepped across time and space, walking with the person beside him in a market somewhere 400 years ago.

However, in fact, he knew very well that even 400 years ago, he seemed to have never heard of a night market where everyone wore masks and could not show their faces.

In addition, with the experience of encountering a fox marriage last time, he is [-]% sure that this is probably where some mountain spirits, wild monsters, ghosts, ghosts, ghosts, etc. have opened a secret place that is difficult for ordinary people to find. ghost city.I don't know whether Xiao Xiao did it on purpose, or just bumped into each other by accident, in short, the two living beings got mixed in just like that.

"You just said that this is a festival?"

As Ruan Mudeng walked, he spoke softly to his master.

"Well, yes."

Xiao Xiao nodded, "This is the worship of the mountain god once every three years!"

"Worshiping the mountain god?"

Ruan Mudeng blinked, with doubts on his face.

"Look over there."

Xiao Xiao smiled and pointed to a stall on the side of the road a few steps away, asking Ruan Mudeng to pay attention.

The stall occupies a large area. The owner of the stall is a short and fat man, wearing a strange mask that looks seven parts like a fish and three parts like a frog. Behind him are two strong and dark fellows. There are so many beautiful things in eyes, surrounded by a lot of female guests, picking and choosing whether it is lively or not.

"Those strings are pearls from the South China Sea, and there are strips of clean and delicate material next to them, which are all shark silk! In addition, look at those pearl hairpins inlaid with red coral, mother-of-pearl powder boxes and so on... ..."

He approached the young man and said, "At first glance, they are sea people from the south, right?"

Ruan Mudeng thought about it, guessed what his master meant, and guessed that those people were probably the legendary mermaid clan.

"These people came all the way from thousands of miles just to join in the fun, firstly, to soak up the aura of the mountain god, secondly, to exchange ideas with their comrades, and maybe even find some treasures in this night market! "

While talking, the two heard a burst of loud cheers from ahead.When I looked up, I saw a booth more than ten meters away was full of onlookers, three floors inside and three floors outside, and the shouts and applause went straight to the sky, causing more people to look back curiously .

"Let's go, let's have a look."

Xiao Xiao took Ruan Mudeng's hand, squeezed into the crowded crowd like two fishes, moved her feet cleverly a few times, without touching the people nearby, she had already stood in front .

It turned out that it was not a stall selling goods, but two young jugglers, one tall and thin, the other short and stocky, both dressed in bunts, the masks on their faces only covered the tip of their noses, revealing the outline of the lower half of their faces They are very similar, with thick lips, protruding chins, and sharp edges and corners. It seems that they should be two brothers.

At this moment, the short and thick one had just finished performing, and his tall and thin brother was replaced.

Ruan Mudeng, who was originally 1.8 meters and [-] meters tall, stood out from the crowd and was very conspicuous, but this juggler was more than ten centimeters taller than Ruan Mudeng, and it was almost two meters taller by visual inspection.

But although the man was tall, he was skinny and skinny, like a panting skeleton. The chest exposed in the half-open bunt sweater was concave in shape, and every rib was clearly visible. The whole person looked like It looks like a hemp pole with legs, and even walking is wobbly, making the viewers worry that he will fall down when the wind blows.

I saw this tall and thin man walking into the circle, bowing in all directions, his mouth was very smooth, his speech was fast, and he had a strong Northwest dialect accent. In the fog, I can't understand.

"The tall and thin man said just now that he and his brother both practice Neijia Yixing boxing. He said that they have practiced 'Ji Da' for decades."

Xiao Xiao leaned close to her apprentice's ear, and repeated the man's words to him in summary, "Now I'm going to perform a 'Shenquan' move, let us see his ability."

Ruan Mudeng's ears were hot from Xiao Xiao's breath, but he still lowered his head calmly, his lips almost touched Xiao Xiao's temples, and asked in a low voice: "What is 'Ji Da'? ?”

"Well, this..."

Xiao Xiao tilted her head and thought for a while, "You understand that this is a skill that can invite the upper body of the gods and draw on the power of the gods."

Ruan Mudeng still didn't understand, "What's the difference between that and an ordinary bumper?"

He thought of the entanglement between Bai Yiming, the hometown of the great film emperor, and the hedgehog spirits of the big family, and to some extent, it was also a relationship of possession and leverage.

"The difference is still very big..."

Xiao Xiao still wanted to explain, when she saw that the short, stocky man had already pulled out a stone mill that was one foot thick and the size of a cart wheel, and placed it squarely in front of her brother, and the tall and thin young man was also stabbed. He took a horse step, crossed his hands in front of his chest, and set up a posture.

"Look at it first, seeing is believing, and you will understand after reading it."

Xiao Xiao didn't speak any more, and only let her apprentice concentrate on watching.

From the point of view of Ruan Mudeng, who was a primary school martial artist, the tall and thin man's horse gait is really amateurish, his foot is unstable, his upper body is shaking, his shoulders are raised too high so that his elbows are outstretched, and his thin body With a body without two taels of flesh, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like it can exert much strength.

However, at this moment, the man began to mutter words. Every time he uttered a sentence, the bones on his body made harsh "creaking" and "clacking" sounds as if they were misplaced. The knots are raised, as if a piece of muscle has grown out of nowhere.

"drink!"

The man shouted loudly, and punched out with his right hand, hitting the center of the millstone straight.

With this punch, there was only a loud noise like thunder, and a bowl-sized deep hole was punched out of the huge stone millstone. Cracks like spider webs spread from the edge in all directions, almost covering the entire surface of the millstone.

"Good! Good!"

The onlookers were startled by this scene for a moment, and after seeing the big hole in the millstone clearly, they applauded vigorously and applauded loudly. Suddenly, copper coins were thrown in the direction of the brothers like rain.

After the tall and thin man punched, the bulging muscles on his arm immediately deflated like a deflated rubber ball, and then returned to that precarious, emaciated appearance, as if the wind would blow it down. .He and his brother laughed and moved around
