How to Raid the Flower of Low Ridge

After tidying up the stalls, Master Bian led the way with a wooden cart, and Shen Yun and the others followed behind. Following the lights and red silk along the way, they came to a narrow stone alley at the corner of the city.

At the entrance of the alley, there were a few children wearing masks playing ghost games. When they saw Master Bian, they wanted to jump over to scare people, but found that there were a few little fairy masters behind them, and they screamed strangely, and hid in the house one after another. Half of his head curiously visited: "Uncle Bian, who are they?"

"It's a guest." Master Bian replied.

"Oh..." The older child suddenly thought of something, and stretched his head out a little more, "By the way, Uncle Bian, Uncle Yang came to look for you just now, and you were not at home. He said he would come back later."

Master Bian frowned slightly when he heard the name, his lips moved, as if he wanted to say something, but he swallowed it back at last, only said: "Understood." He reminded, "Be careful when you play." , if the mask is broken, you won’t have to wear it tomorrow, so don’t cry again.”

"Understood!" The little ones imitated his tone and replied happily.

After walking more than twenty steps into the alley, Master Bian stopped the car.

Shen Yun's eyes paused slightly.There is no festive decoration on this door, only a pair of snow-white elegiac couplets are pasted on the bare door couplets. The paper seems to be very old, and the four corners are damaged, but the writing on it is clearly visible: the child is going away, the white hair is still to return.

Shen Yunchi questioned: "Your family..."

"The child passed away unexpectedly last year, and the father posted a couplet to show his heart." Master Bian smiled.

Zhong Xiu spoke quickly and asked directly: "Could it be the time of the earthquake last year?"

Cui Xingyan quickly pulled Zhong Xiulin.

Fortunately, Master Bian didn't mind, he nodded: "That's the time."

"Sorry, sorry for you." Shen Yun whispered.

"It's okay, it's been a year." Master Bian opened the door, "You want four masks, right?"

"Correct."

"Okay, you guys wait here, I'll go in and look for it."

Master Bian pushed the car into the courtyard, then turned around and went into the house.Others followed into the courtyard.The small courtyard is not big, and it is full of various sundries. Among the sundries, a small wooden horse is missing a corner. Judging from the thickness of the dust, no one has played with it for a long time. Like other families in Xingling, Master Bian There is also an apricot tree planted in the corner of the courtyard, with a few notches on the trunk, as if something has been measured.

Cui Xingyan looked around, leaned close to Shen Yun and said, "Do you want to ask him about Dilong turning over?"

"It depends on the situation." Shen Yun said, "In the future, there will be more people who know about it. There is no need to poke people's hearts on the eve of the social gathering."

"Yes." Cui Xingyan shrugged.

While the two were talking, Master Bian had come out of the house with several masks in his hands. He said apologetically, "I'm sorry for the guest. I found a few after looking for them, but after pressing the bottom of the box for a while, the colors are somewhat faded. You Can you see it?"

Shen Yun picked up a red ghost mask.Although there are some scratches on the paint color at the corners, it does not damage the ingenuity of the patterns on the surface.The ghost's face is thin, the tails of the eyes are slanted, the corners of the mouth are raised high, and there is a distorted and weird smile on the facial features. This does not portray the ugliness of the "ghost", but makes people tremble.

"Your craftsmanship is really good." Shen Yun praised, "I went shopping around today, and only the masks you made are the most outstanding."

Master Bian said with a smile: "I rely on this to make a living, what if I don't do a good job."

Shen Yun said: "Speaking of which, I saw three people's masks with horns on the road. I think their masks are scarier than this one. Do you have any more?"

"The ones with horns..." Master Bian's expression froze for a moment, "That kind is gone. Those three masks were custom-made by the customer, so only those three were made. Are you dissatisfied with the remaining products here? "

"No, I'm very satisfied, I'm just asking casually." Shen Yun stepped aside, "You guys can choose one too."

Cui Xingyan took a blue mask, Zhong Xiulin took a red ghost mask of the same color as Shen Yun, and Lu Miyuan took a gray-black one. As Shen Yun was about to pay, Master Bian waved his hand: "I have a few days The mask is also in the storeroom, because you are friends with the little fairy master of the Shu family, I will give it to you."

"What's so funny..."

"Old Bian, you are back!"

A male voice came, interrupting Shen Yun's refusal.A middle-aged man with a smile on his face came in from the door.When Master Bian saw the other party, his expression immediately turned cold: "It's about this time, it's useless for you to come to me again. I don't know how to draw."

"Old Bian, how can you say that?" The man's expression became more and more attentive, "Without your craftsmanship, how could our temple fair be done well? Tomorrow's big show will use the mask you made, you just happen to be big." Show off? And you won’t lose money, what are you stubborn about?”

"—It's not about the money!" Master Bian suddenly raised his voice, "I don't want you to run this society!"

The man's face suddenly became ugly, and he said in a low voice: "You, what are you talking about? How could you be so disrespectful to Goddess Shenshu, if it wasn't for her to bless our Xingling..."

"What does it bless?" It's okay not to mention this, but the hatred in Master Bian's eyes almost gushes out when he mentions it, "It's just a broken tree, what can it bless? It blesses my son who was smashed to death on the wall Next, this is its blessing?!"

"You...! The immortal master from Ganyan said it was an accident. Why are you still thinking about it... It hurts!" The man wanted to argue, but Master Bian picked up a pile of sundries. The wooden stick in his hand was about to throw the other party out of the door. The man didn't dare to say anything, and ran out of the house even hiding and crawling.

"If you dare to mention this to me again, I'll burn that goddamn god tree tonight!" Master Bian yelled at the door, his chest heaved violently several times, and finally he calmed down, looking back at his guest , "...I made you laugh."

The four teenagers in the courtyard watched the farce dumbfounded. Everyone looked at each other, thinking about each other, Shen Yun coughed lightly, and still took out the money from his pocket: "We think we still have to give you money." Money, otherwise I don’t think fellow practitioner Shu would be happy to hear that we took advantage of this, so take it.”

Master Bian no longer refused, nodded and accepted, "Then let's charge you less." His face became more tired, and he smiled embarrassingly at the few people, "Don't take what I just said to heart, tomorrow will be fine." The gathering in Lishe is very lively, you have fun."

As soon as they came out of Master Bian's house, the four of them immediately quickened their pace, and after a while they found the man who had been kicked out of Bian's house.The other party seemed to be still angry, and after being stopped, he said unhappily: "Who are you?"

"We are students of Tianxian Court, and we just came here for a tour these two days." Shen Yun smiled and bowed to the other party, "I have something to ask you."

The name of Tianxian Court is very popular in Shenzhou, and Shen Yun's smiling face is really deceiving, the man's expression eased, he looked at the four people, "...you are not the people who were in Lao Bian's house just now What, what do you want me for?"

"We went to Master Bian to buy a mask," Cui Xingyan showed him the blue ghost mask in his hand, and continued, "Listening to your conversation with Master Bian, he seems to have a lot of complaints about tomorrow's society?"

"He, he just can't turn his head around!" The man rolled his eyes, "Last year, the society suddenly turned around, and his son happened to be watching a big show in the temple, and the wall fell down and was crushed to death!"

Shen Yun said: "So he is tired of social gatherings?"

The man nodded: "In the past, he made the masks for the big dramas every year. This year, he refused to do it because of this matter. He just said that he would burn the temple... This is because I have good intentions, and I want other people to hear him. The tree empress is so disrespectful, she tied him up long ago!"

"But isn't he still making masks for the common people?" Zhong Xiulin glanced at the ghost mask in his hand.

"According to what he said, it's for you, it's for fun; it's for the big show, it's for God's tree. Since he doesn't believe in God's tree, he will never do it again. Isn't this dead-headed?" The man Disapproving, and somewhat helpless. "Isn't it just a mask, how do you make it different?"

"What's the difference between Daxi's mask and ours?" Lu Miyuan asked.

"That is to say, the materials are different, more solemn. Ordinary masks are made of paper pulp, but the masks of the big drama are bigger than yours. They are made of wood taken from the body of the Goddess God Tree, which is very precious!" The man spread his hands, "The mask before We have already carved the model in a few days, and we just waited for him to draw it, and you all saw it. Alas, I also said that this year will be the most grand, and now it’s great..."

Someone not far away called the man, it seemed that he had something to discuss, he apologized to Shen Yun and the others, and hurried over.

Seeing that it was getting late, the four of them found a nearby inn to rest, and got together before going to bed to review today's experience.

"Tsk, this is the most annoying thing," Cui Xingyan picked at the melon seeds on the table, "I feel that something is wrong, but I can't find the source of the problem."

"It would be fine if the one being sacrificed was a ghost, but there is no ghost spirit, and the place of sacrifice is full of spiritual resources; if this master Bian wanted to take revenge on the society because of the death of his beloved son, it would be fine, but he rejected the most important thing. commission." Shen Yun pressed the center of his eyebrows, "Could it be that we are just overthinking?"

Zhong Xiulin suggested: "Why don't we go and ask that Master Bian again? I think his mask looks like a ghost, for sure..."

"Lin Lin," Shen Yun looked at him, "Suspicion is only minor. We can suspect everyone, but we can't convict this person based on suspicion alone—in the past, it was not because of misjudgment that the opportunity was delayed, which led to ghosts and crimes." It's about upgrading."

Zhong Xiulin pursed her lips and lowered her head.

"Then we will wait until tomorrow?" Lu Miyuan asked.

"Wait until tomorrow." Shen Yun tapped his finger on the table, "It would be best if everything in the temple fair is normal tomorrow; even if things change, there are four of us in the city, and Jiang Zili and Shu Yu over there."

Because of doubts accumulated in his heart, Shen Yun couldn't fall asleep even after he took a rest, he kept tossing and turning on the bed, when he finally fell asleep, a thin scream outside the window suddenly cut through the air.

"Water-"

Shen Yun opened his eyes.At first he thought he had heard it wrong, but the shouting became more and more louder, gathering from all directions to one place, he finally got up and got out of bed and pushed the window, looking in the direction of the sound.

In the dense night like ink, there is a red light in front of the inn, like the rising sun and morning glow, shining brightly.

It is Shuniang Temple.
