Big Moon Ballad

Chapter 834 Mask
The northern part of the Mountain Sea Continent is different from the southern part. In addition to the belief in the Eight Beast Gods, there are still primitive beliefs such as witchcraft and witch doctor shaman on the northern snowfield.

However, with the rise of the practice system established by Emperor Taizu and the people's growing belief in the power of the Eight Beast Gods, the first class of witch doctor and shaman gradually declined.

Although there are fewer witch doctors, when Ying Baoyue was on the Great Wall of Eternal Night, he heard that the witch doctor who was good at dancing the gods and pretending to be a Nuo opera left behind a rare skill.

This craft is to make human skin masks.

Although it is called a human skin mask, it is not really made of human skin, but a special animal skin imitating a human face.A well-made human skin mask is worth hundreds of gold, and looks lifelike, almost indistinguishable from a real human face, with only one flaw.

That is, it can be made to resemble a human face, but it is not as smooth and detailed as a human face, and it will always have some scars.

To put it bluntly, it is ugly.

Back then on the Great Wall of Eternal Night, Ying Baoyue only heard about this incident as a rare event, and had never seen the real thing.

I didn't expect to see this legendary human skin mask for the first time now.

With a hiss, she peeled off a piece of skin as thin as a cicada's wing from the face of the boy below her, and after shaking it, she found that it was really like human skin.

"Is this a human skin mask?" She asked with a smile.

The appearance of a person is really just a skin.

"There's a mask under the mask, how shameful is your face?" Ying Baoyue said as he looked down at the person underneath who showed his true face.

The next moment, the girl was slightly taken aback.

All this time all she'd seen through the mask were his eyes.At this moment, under the blazing firelight, she finally saw clearly the face of this fierce killer who fell down the cliff with her.

His eyes have always been extremely cold, with extremely long and dense eyelashes, paired with deep green pupils, he is as beautiful as a girl, making people unable to tell his age, whether it is a man or a boy.

But now that the mask is removed, under the eyes of an adult, there is actually a very young face.

Based on the man's ruthless proficiency in shooting before, and his sophistication in not being able to change his attitude instantly after being injured, she always thought that he was an adult killer in his 30s, but now it seems that this is not the case.

This is obviously just a teenager.

But the only thing that is certain is that in the bunch of unsubstantiated self-introductions just now, he did not make a mistake in one sentence.

Staring at the extremely handsome cheekbones of the person in front of him, Ying Baoyue's eyes were slightly dark.

Judging from the appearance alone, this young man with green eyes does have the blood of the Central Plains.

Most of the Hou Liao people who lived on the plateau had dark faces, but I don't know if it was because they wore masks all the year round. This person's face was fair, and with his pair of bewitching green pupils, it can be said that he possessed a very outstanding beauty.

But when it came to the appearance of the Hou Liao people who resembled the son of Jiangnan, Ying Baoyue reminded him of a person.

The one she didn't hold on to.

Ying Baoyue's hand holding the human skin mask gradually tightened.

The mask was uncovered, and the young man who was pressed to the ground and claimed to be Helianyan originally had anger in his eyes, but at this moment he was stunned when he saw the expression of the girl on his body.Just because she was different from those who saw his face in the past, her expression was extremely complicated, neither envious nor coveted, but somewhat sad.

"You..." She stared at his face, and the person under him whose secret was revealed looked at her expressionlessly.

"Give it back to me." Helianyan took a deep breath, and took the human skin mask from her hand.

Ying Baoyue got up, watched the person in front of him put the mask on his face, and took it off again.

"Sorry," Ying Baoyue said, "Did I break it?"

"It needs a special potion to stick it back on," Helianyan said lightly, folded the human skin mask and put it in his arms, then picked up the iron mask on the ground, thought about it, but didn't put it back on.

"Since you're worried, I won't wear it until there is a third person," he turned around and actually smiled at Ying Baoyue.

In the darkness, those eyes were green, like a wolf cub just out of the grassland.

Beautiful, cunning, and equally dangerous.

Give her a sense of familiarity, but fortunately, it shouldn't be that person.

Be it a mask or eye color, they can all be disguised.

The reason why she tried to expose this man's mask despite his rage was indeed because she was worried.Maybe this person is him tonight, maybe it will be another person under the mask tomorrow, her level is too low and she can only be kept in the dark.

Ying Baoyue closed her eyes, another bronze mask appeared in front of her eyes.

"By the way, you seem disappointed when you see my face." He Lianyan turned her head and said indifferently, "Why, it's because I let the girl down because of my appearance, or you..."

The boy's eyes were fixed on Ying Baoyue's face, "Or did you originally think that I would be someone else?"

"How could it be?" Ying Baoyue said with a smile, clenched his hands slightly, "Young Master's face is unparalleled, it's the first time I've seen it, and I'm a little surprised."

"Why is this the first time I've seen you?" The young man glanced at her, "Since you are the princess's substitute, you must have seen that Chunhua Jun often."

"But he left you and ran away. It's normal that you don't want to think about him." Before Ying Baoyue could answer the next moment, the boy rolled his eyes and said with a playful smile.

This person seems to be in another danger without wearing a mask. Why does he even talk more?

Ying Baoyue smiled and said, "Mr. Chunhua naturally wants to protect the real princess. I just want to get out of this forest alive. Your Highness the Princess looks at the merits of my family and bestows my family on my sweetheart."

Hearing the words "sweetheart", the man's eyelashes trembled slightly, and then he looked at her with a smile, "Yes, although I am a slave, I haven't married a wife yet, and I don't want to die here."

"I'm a dead man, so I shouldn't shoot him to death," the man looked at Ying Baoyue and smiled self-deprecatingly, his eyes flickering probingly, "As a shadow stand-in, you shouldn't be afraid of death."

"That's right," Ying Baoyue said, "but if we continue to fight, we can only die together by this pool of water, and we die. Do we still want to die with strangers..."

That's it.

Ying Baoyue said heartily.

She was buried with someone once, and she really didn't want to do it again.

The young man's eyes turned cold, but he also put on a smile and pushed back in words.

"I also don't want to lose my life for a substitute."

In other words, they died as soon as they died, but they hated each other and didn't want to be buried here.

At this moment, there was a delicate balance between the two, Ying Baoyue stared at the young man by the fire, this man was extremely smart and well aware of current affairs.

If he was not seriously injured at this time, it should be another scene by the fire at this time.

The good words now are because they all know that none of them can get out of this forest alone.

"Okay, then let's cooperate." Ying Baoyue said, "I know the way, I will take you out."

The boy by the fire stared at her quietly.

"Alright," Helianyan smiled, and glanced at the pair of animal eyes surrounded by the darkness outside the flames, "It will take ten days for me to recover from this injury, but I will try my best to keep the girl safe all the way."

At the next moment, he didn't know if it was a provocation, but the boy smiled and added, "I won't leave you behind."

Like your fiancé.But he didn't say that, he just looked at her with mockery in her eyes.

Ying Baoyue looked at him quietly, smiled and said nothing.

In this way, two people with their own ghosts hit the road.
