Chapter 223 Mask
Xiao Jiang's Yin energy surged, and his black nails shone with a dark blue sheen: "Don't underestimate me."
He said that the nails on his hands had already cut off one of the tentacle.
"Ah!" A scream came from someone sitting not far away.
The fallen tentacles instantly turned into a pool of rotten meat and mud.
Su Nuobai raised his hand to dispel the smell of rotting meat in the air: "I told you not to be greedy, but why are you so stubborn that you insist on holding on to this thing?"
"Now he's in a state of being neither human nor ghost, why bother?"
Xiao Jiang looked at the man sitting there and asked, "Is he the man wearing the cap?"
"That's right. He got a mask from somewhere. This mask was originally someone else's beloved burial item, and you insisted on stealing it."
"Well now, since you don't want to return it, then let the mask become one with you. When you die, the mask will return to its original place."
Su Nuobai leaned against a pillar nearby, watching Xiao Jiang cut off the tentacles one by one.
When the tentacles were almost cut off, the man regained consciousness: "Please, please save me."
Ma Yang's voice was much weaker now, and if you didn't listen carefully you might not be able to hear it.
"If I want to save you, I'll give away two-thirds of my wealth." Su Nuobai looked at him and said.
Ma Yang did not agree immediately upon hearing this, but hesitated. If he gave away two-thirds of his family wealth, what would be the difference between his family and ordinary people?
Xiao Jiang doesn't have any whites in his eyes now, otherwise he would have flipped them up to the sky.
Even at this time, you are still thinking about those material things.
"Whether you agree or not, I have come here from far away and I have to go back for lunch soon. I don't want to waste too much time." Su Nuobai yawned.
Ma Yang lowered his head, but he was thinking in his heart: I will agree first and let her help me get rid of this damn mask. After that, it will be up to me to decide whether to distribute the family wealth or not.
After making up his mind, he immediately said, "Okay, I agree."
Su Nuobai looked at Ma Yang, and as soon as he looked up, she understood what he was planning.
But it doesn't matter. If he thinks he can shirk his responsibilities, then let him experience the consequences of shirking his responsibilities.
She formed seals with her hands and struck the man in the face on the back of his head.
This time, the human face did not throw out its tentacles to resist, but obediently and slowly transformed into a jade half-face mask.
With a grab of both hands, the half-face mask left Ma Yang's head and flew into its hands.
The jade is of high quality, and the carving is not exquisite, but you can see the carver's intentions.
I guess this was carved by the tomb owner's lover, and there is so much emotion in it.
The mask covered the upper half of the face, with butterfly wings on both sides, as thin as cicada wings, as if about to flap and fly.
Xiao Jiang looked at the unconscious Ma Yang and asked, "What should we do with him?"
"Don't worry about him, someone will come to look after him soon." After saying that, Su Nuobai stuffed the mask into her bag and pushed open the door.
Gu Zishu didn't dare to go in after hearing the screams inside, and was so anxious that he kept pacing around outside.
Seeing the door open, she quickly took a few steps to greet him: "Master Su, how is my husband?"
"It's all right now, but if he can't do what he promised me, he'll be retaliated against. Even the Great Immortal might not be able to save him then."
That was all Su Nuobai had to say. Whether they listened or not was up to them.
Gu Zishu had no time to care about what happened now. He was just worried about Ma Yang's situation. He asked someone to send a box of silver and money and wanted to go into the room.
Su Nuobai asked Xiao Jiang to accept it, and glanced at Gu Zishu who hurried into the room with his men: "If we are not family, we should not enter the same door. Let's go."
Xiao Jiang didn't understand what this meant and followed him out of the house.
The two of them did not go to set up a stall, but went straight home to eat and drink for free.
Xiao Jiang opened the box given by Gu Zishu and was stunned when he saw what was inside.
There was no gold, silver, or silver notes in it, but a box of copper coins.
Madam Lu looked at the box of copper coins and was a little confused: "Why is there a box of copper coins as a reward?"
"Let me count how much you gave me." Mrs. Lu said as she prepared to take it out and count it.
"No need to count, there are only five taels of silver in here." Hu Lili looked angry.
"This is too much of a bully. I'm not that cheap." Xiao Jiang was angry.
They came such a long way, and five taels of silver was not enough to cover the round trip.
"Nuonuo, who is this person?" Mrs. Lu was also very angry.
Does the Lu family need these five taels of silver?
It’s not that Nuonuo wants to accumulate merit, they just have no problem supporting the people in the yard and ensuring they have enough food and drink.
"Calm down, calm down. God is watching what people do. Anyway, they didn't do what they promised me, so retribution will naturally come to them." Su Nuobai calmly took out half a mask from his bag.
When Madam Lu saw the mask, she exclaimed, "The material of this mask is of high quality, but the carving is a little poor."
Su Nuobai smiled faintly, formed seals with his hands, and hit the mask with a stream of spiritual power: "Return to your master!"
The mask disappeared in front of them in a flash of white light, and returned to a tomb that had been visited by tomb robbers.
The corpse on the ground was lifted up and placed back into the coffin that had fallen to the side. A jade mask covered half of her face.
When the lid of the coffin was closed, there was a loud bang, the tomb collapsed, and the coffin was buried back into the ground.
"Nuonuo, what's the origin of that mask?" Lu Lingyan looked at her curiously.
Su Nuobai looked at the curious baby: "A sad story."
When she took the mask, she had already seen some images from it.
Everyone in the yard was curious: "Tell us about it."
"This mask was carved by a man named Lu Ying. He was born into wealth and lived a life of luxury, yet he fell in love with a lotus-picking girl."
"The woman's name was Yudie. She accidentally saved Lu Ying from drowning. At first, they disliked each other. Lu Ying disliked Yudie's vulgarity."
"Yudie despised him as a young master who couldn't do anything, but after a long time, she found that he was not really that capable."
"Although Lu Ying is a young master and lives a life of luxury, he is not arrogant or overbearing. He will humbly ask for advice when he doesn't understand something."
"Although Yudie comes from a humble background, she is optimistic and cheerful, and is kind and generous to everyone."
"Over time, the two developed feelings for each other, until someone from the Lu family found Lu Ying."
"When Lu Ying returned home, he told his family that he wanted to marry Yudie. How could the Lu family agree to let a lowly Cailian girl marry him? They found a pretext to force Cailian's family into a desperate situation."
"After Lu Ying found out, he ran to Yudie's house, hugged her body and cried for a long time. He also refused to bury her and rented an ice cellar to store her body."
