Jiyouhai.

A sect that exists in the desert.

A sect full of mystery, with a high sense of presence in the hearts of people in the Central Plains, but no one has ever known the true situation inside.

The power in the Western Regions has always been very complicated, and there are probably countless sects of all sizes. Perhaps it is precisely because of this chaotic situation that the Western Regions have formed a natural duel arena.

Everyone kills each other, and the ones who can survive in the end are all ruthless people.

Therefore, every few years, a group of amazing geniuses will appear in the Western Regions, which is why the Green-faced Ghost guessed that Feng Qing came from the Western Regions at the beginning.

It is not that there have been stories of Western Regions masters coming to the Central Plains and then fighting half of the rivers and lakes. Because of this, the Western Regions have always been within the observation range of Huachaodu.

In addition to the Zoroastrianism, Loulan Kingdom, and the Merchant Alliance composed of various Western Region merchants, Jiyouhai has always been a place of concern for many people.

But there are very few people who can really figure out Jiyouhai.

To put it simply, many people don’t even know where Jiyouhai is.

Judging from the name Jiyouhai, this sect should be in the sea, but where is the sea in the Western Region with yellow sand all over the sky?

Although everyone knows very little about Jiyouhai, everyone knows that in Jiyouhai, the Saint is a very special existence.

Hua Chao was silent for a while, "What is the name of the Saint of this generation?"

"Anhuo Shaxi."

...

"The stars in the Western Region are very chaotic." Chu Changzui lay on his Peppa Pig bed sheet, stroking the cat while looking at the stars in the sky.

"Haven't you learned something from the shopkeeper recently?" Li Qi asked, "How is your fortune-telling compared to before?"

"Don't mention it. The more I learn, the more I feel that there are too many things in this world that I don't understand." Chu Changzui said self-deprecatingly, "I thought I was quite smart when I was in Guigumen, but recently, why do I always feel that my mind has degenerated along with my body?"

Li Qi laughed, as if mocking.

Chu Changzui didn't care.

He pointed to the densely packed stars in the sky with his small finger and said, "The stars there represent the situation in the Western Regions."

Li Qi glanced at the direction he pointed. It

was completely... unclear what he was pointing at.

"Now the stars are in chaos, many stars have drifted from their original orbits. I'm afraid that in a short time, the Western Region will be in chaos again, and then there will be a massacre of all living things."

Chu Changzui sighed.

He originally wanted to be sad for a while and pretend to be cool, but as soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly saw a star from the Western Region suddenly emit a dazzling light.

After that, the star suddenly changed its orbit.

"Huh?" Chu Changzui suddenly frowned.

"Ah..." He didn't understand the previous one, but Li Qi understood this one.

He pointed at the star and said, "Is that the star from the Western Region?"

"...Yeah."

"Then what does this place it is now drifting to represent?"

"Our inn."

"Oh."

...

The room was dead silent for a few seconds.

After a while, Xiaobai and Li Qi jumped up at the same time.

The two of them, one in front and one behind, ran desperately towards the shopkeeper's room.

"Shopkeeper!"

Feng Qing was putting a facial mask on her face in the room at that time. As soon as she put the mask on, she heard two voices coming from outside.

One was Li Qi, and the other was Xiaobai.

What were these two people arguing about?

Feng Qing pushed open the door and looked at the two people in front of her. In an instant, their voices became dead silent.

"What's wrong?" Feng Qing asked while making the mask on her face fit better.

She thought to herself, these two were shouting and yelling just now, why did they suddenly fall silent?

"...Nothing." Li Qi said suddenly.

The room was silent for a few seconds, and Feng Qing asked again, "Is it really nothing?"

The two people nodded frantically.

Feng Qing felt that the two seemed to be hiding something from her, but since they were unwilling to say it, it seemed not a good idea for her to ask them about it.

Li Qi and Chu Changzui watched the door slowly close in front of them, and they shuddered at the same time.

"Tell me, why does the shopkeeper wear such a scary mask?"

Chu Changzui asked after a long time.

Li Qi hesitated for a while, "Maybe, this is the shopkeeper's disguise."

"Disguise?"

"Have you heard of a man called Lanling King?"

"Because he is very handsome, he has to wear a fierce mask when he goes to the battlefield to kill the enemy?" Chu Changzui said after thinking for a while.

"It's him."

"Does the shopkeeper need to wear a mask when he kills people?" Chu Changzui shuddered.

"She obviously doesn't wear anything, it's scary enough."

Feng Qing thought that the clothes she wore would be in line with the times in the eyes of the locals, so she has been a little reckless recently, and sometimes even wears ordinary sportswear when going out.

Until now, no one has said that she is wrong, so she thought that this mask should be nothing in the eyes of others.

But I have to say that Feng Qing is still a little careless.

After all, even in ancient times, if someone casually used lime powder to paste his face white, it would still be scary in the middle of the night.

Anyway, until the next day, Feng Qing still didn't know what his partner wanted to say to him the day before.

But this is not important, what is important is...

today the beauty is here.

——It's not an exaggeration at all.

The moment the beauty arrived at the inn, Feng Qing suddenly felt that the whole room was sparkling.

Her mind went blank for several seconds before she finally came to her senses.

Too, too beautiful, too exaggerated.

In a corner where the beauty didn't notice, Feng Qing secretly took a photo with her mobile phone.

Nice.

"I don't want to be recognized by too many people." Hua Chaodu said.

"Excuse me, did you make any preparations in advance?"

He felt that Feng Qing asked him to sing opera, maybe just to listen to the opera, but it was also very likely to humiliate him. Anyway,

no matter which one it was, Hua Chaodu felt the same - they were all equally disgusting.

But in order to make the shopkeeper keep his mouth shut and not say anything he shouldn't, what does a mere performance count for?

For Hua Chaodu, he can do anything to protect the court.

However, the premise of both is to conceal his identity. Otherwise,

if he, the governor of Dongchang, comes here to perform for others, people will laugh at him. It will even damage the face of the royal family.

Hua Chaodu wanted to know what method the shopkeeper would use to help him conceal his identity, so he came with the mentality of watching a good show. He actually made some preparations and arranged his men to be careful and alert around.

Once the shopkeeper's men appeared nearby, he would be able to find them immediately.

Before Hua Chaodu came, he had guessed that the shopkeeper in front of him might have his men block the entire street, and at the very least, strictly control the people entering and leaving the inn.

... Then he saw Feng Qing took out a mask from somewhere.

"I'm really sorry." The shopkeeper smiled and said, "This is for you."

Hua Chaodu took the mask a little dazed.

"I don't know if the size is suitable, you try it on first and see how it feels." Feng Qing's smile was actually a little awkward.

How could she know how to help someone conceal their identity? She really thought it was a spy drama.

Feng Qing, an ordinary person who just eats and waits for death, has a completely different brain circuit from Hua Chaodu.

She thought Hua Chaodu was unwilling to show up in front of others because of the psychological shadow of what happened before.

Therefore, the only solution Feng Qing could think of was to find a mask from her grocery store that was thrown there by the crew at some unknown time.

The mask was golden, covered half of the face, and was very exaggerated.

When she looked at the mask, she recalled for a while, wondering which crew had left the mask. It took her a long time to remember.

It belonged to a low-cost ancient hero idol drama crew.

In that drama, the image of the protagonist is a hero who robs the rich and helps the poor. He always carries a desperado-like unrestrainedness and a lonely and cold feeling.

In the eyes of the rich, he is like a ghost, but in the eyes of the poor, he is a well-known hero.

In short, he is an ancient version of Zorro.

This character is loved by everyone in the drama, and flowers bloom when they see him, because in the setting, the person is handsome, has high martial arts skills, is cool, chivalrous, and has a kind of cold mystery, so as long as he wears a mask and appears on the stage, it is basically the climax of the plot.

Since the drama itself has no content, it is basically supported by the actor's face. Feng Qing remembers that the actor is not very old, looks very beautiful, and the costumes and makeup are very good.

For example, the mask in her hand is very delicate.

I remember a long time ago when paper magazines were still very popular, Feng Qing secretly bought those romance magazines. At that time, no matter what the articles in those magazines were like, the painters must be those who painted fancy. Feng Qing was deeply impressed by the cover of a person wearing half a mask.

She secretly glanced at Hua Chaodu in front of her.

She felt that if it was this person in front of her, she could achieve the effect of perfectly converting the 2D image into 3D.

Feng Qing was a little daydreaming, and then she saw the person in front of her hesitated for a while, and still put the mask on his face.

Me! Go!

Chu Changzui just happened to walk over with his practice book in his hand. When he saw the mask in the shopkeeper's hand, he was slightly stunned, and his expression was vaguely a little trance.

But soon, his eyes became clear again.

What's the matter?

I always feel that the mask looks a little familiar, but he just can't remember it for a while.

Then, Chu Changzui watched Feng Qing casually hand the mask to Hua Chaodu.

That casual feeling was just like the feeling when the shopkeeper handed him the pancakes this morning.

He was trying to recall why the mask was so familiar when he heard the shopkeeper turn around and say, "Xiaobai, did you finish your homework quickly today?"

"Of course." Chu Changzui suddenly came back to his senses, and then immediately ran to Feng Qing. It

's just right that I'm sleepy, he thought.

Taking the opportunity of the shopkeeper asking about the homework, I moved forward a little so that I could see more clearly.

Chu Changzui deliberately pretended to be innocent and asked Feng Qing, "Shopkeeper, do you like the mask?"

Yesterday, and today.

"Ah, it's okay." Feng Qing said.

For her XP system, the mask is indeed a great thing.

Of course, it is unnecessary to tell this to a child.

"I want to see that mask, too!" Chu Changzui, who pretended to be young, spoke in a soft voice. He blinked his big eyes and looked at Hua Chaodu motionlessly.

Hua Chaodu lowered his head, seemingly gentle, but actually looked at Chu Changzui with a particularly cold look.

Where did this child come from?

It seemed that since the day when he first came to the inn, this child always made trouble in some inexplicable places.

The moment he took over the mask, he suddenly felt that the mask was familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before.

This feeling seemed to appear suddenly in his mind.

"This mask..." Hua Chaodu frowned and said, but then stopped talking.

No matter how you put it, judging from the appearance, it is indeed an ordinary mask.

Hua Chaodu was not ready to continue asking, but Feng Qing felt guilty.

Did she think the mask was too old?

Yes, after all, when she got it, she looked through it and found that the inside of the mask was indeed a little faded, and the paint was exposed in some places.

"It does look a bit old, so let's use it as it is. I don't have anything suitable right now." Feng Qing said.

"Boss, we are out of money now." Xiaobai looked at Feng Qing with tears in his eyes, and his eyes made Feng Qing feel guilty.

She quickly coaxed him, "No, it's just that this mask is in my hand, so it's easy to find."

"Then what is this old mask..."

Xiaobai is sometimes like a hundred thousand whys, and he likes to get to the bottom of some things. Feng Qing naturally couldn't tell him that this thing was bought by the crew, so he could only make up a lie.

"I've worn it before."

This reason seemed very reasonable to Feng Qing.

As an inn owner, is it strange to have several masks stuffed in the room? No way.

But she didn't know that after hearing her words...

Chu Changzui and Hua Chaodu's hearts skipped a beat at the same time.

What, what?

"Although it's a bit old, it can still be used. Wear it for a while to deal with emergencies."

Feng Qing didn't notice the reactions of Chu Changzui and Hua Chaodu at all.

"It's just that it's too old after all, so it's no wonder you don't like it."

After thinking for a while, Feng Qing turned around and said to Hua Chaodu sincerely, "If you don't want to wear it after a while, just throw it away."
