Chapter 252 The Resurrection of the Three Treasures
"Fu?"

After seeing the true form of the priestess coming out of the Kitakami Central Shrine to pray, Link and Fox were both extremely shocked.

The lonely and evil ghost who was bullied by the villagers and had to live in a scary cave has suddenly turned into a "star" who covers his face with a mask?
Have the people of Kitakami never wondered why the witch's body shape has not changed over the years?
"Bonnie?"

After seeing the familiar shrine maiden mask from afar, it made an inconspicuous sound. In a happy mood, it began the blessing ceremony more vigorously.

"So this custom still exists in Beishang Township?"

Just when Link was wondering if he had changed history, Zhulan's voice came from beside him: "I didn't seem to understand this when I came here last time."

“Many festivals will have similar prayers and spirit descent sessions.” Cattleya didn’t think much of it.

Link looked in the direction of the voice and saw Zhulan and Cattleya dressed in celebration attire.

The former wore a blue and black bathrobe with silver and white decorations, while the latter wore a black and white floor-length pleated style that looked more like a Gothic dress.

This was a rare opportunity, so he asked Zhulan about the legend she had learned from the town last time, but he got a result similar to what he remembered.

“I heard that every year children of appropriate age are invited to wear traditional costumes and pray at the festival.”

Du Juan, who was dressed very elegantly and seriously, happened to hear their conversation: "Someone was also invited to our courage test meeting last night."

Link nodded. No wonder Eruption could appear at the Mask Festival openly. It turned out that he had this layer of cover.

However, occasionally serving as a shrine maiden to pray at a shrine dedicated to Sanbaoban during festivals is a bit of a joke from hell.

He looked at the lively and cheerful "evil ghost" in the crowd, thinking that his idea of helping him out of loneliness in Zhulan Villa had come true naturally.

The Taijing Pearl and the Crystal Light Pool, what kind of incredible power do these two possess...

"Look at the witch's mask."

During the prayer, Zhulan introduced the masks held by the other party to everyone.

"The four masks represent different emotions. The green, red, blue, and stone masks represent joy, anger, sadness, and happiness. The masks of different shapes clearly represent the various meanings and traditional images of the Sinnoh and Johto regions. The craftsmen who made them are indeed masters with extraordinary skills.

"In addition, these masks also reflect many other ethnic cultures, such as the Mask Carnival..."

While Zhulan, a professional, was explaining the mask and the culture behind it, Cattleya, who was more sensitive to energy, noticed something unusual about the mask. The gems on it were clearly emitting abnormal energy that was somewhat similar to the crystal light pool.

No, before that, it wasn’t a little girl but an elf!

After a while, the blessing ceremony ended, and the hard-working Snorlax had completed the preparation of the sticky cake.

The tourists immediately gathered towards the place where sticky cakes were distributed, and a masked green figure quietly came to Link after taking off various props.

"Boniey!"

The mask of the Cursed Fox could not hide the figures of him and the Fire Fox. The figure in his memory who appeared out of nowhere and helped him a lot when he was collecting materials finally appeared at the Masked Festival as promised. Erguiyan excitedly grabbed the other party and refused to let go no matter what.

It has so many words and stories to tell!
"Fufu!"

The fire fox greeted it, but it didn't expect that it had been waiting until now.

However, this was not the place to talk. Eruption pulled Link's clothes and took him to the wishing well, far away from the rice cakes and the shrine.

Zhulan was puzzled by the attitude of the witch elf towards Link all along the way: "What is going on?"

"This is the legendary 'evil ghost'. I had a brief encounter with it last night." But to be honest, Link had no idea what had happened over the years.

last night?

Zhulan was even more confused. They were at the Crystal Pool last night. Unless you actually moved instantly to the horror cave at the foot of the mountain when you disappeared, there should be no chance for you to encounter it.

Erguiyan quickly told the two people who were investigating the myth the parts that were hidden in both versions of the legend.

It is true that the exquisite masks made by the mask craftsman attracted curious people from the outside world, and the Three Treasures also took advantage of its absence to attack and rob its companions living in the Ghost Mountain Cave, taking away the stove, well, foundation stone mask.

When it sensed something and hurried back to the terror cave, what it saw was a dying man who had fought with the three treasures and repelled them while holding on to the green grass mask.

"The story doesn't mention what happened to that man afterwards." Zhulan recalled the story she and Link had investigated, "It only mentioned that an evil spirit rushed into the festival and killed Samboban."

The ancestral hall in Baoban Square was built for this purpose, where Baoban, who was said to have protected the village from evil spirits, was buried and worshipped.

Although no version of the story explains what happened to the man, Zhulan thinks it would be a bit difficult for a human to fight three elves alone...

"Bonnie!"

Not dead.

As if it couldn't sit still, Erguiyan jumped up and down to explain that it arrived in time with telepathy and used the resurrection seeds to help the other party recover from the critical moment.

The huge life force plus the secret seasoning are so powerful.

The subsequent part about the evil ghost coming down the mountain is exactly the same as the legend.

And after everything was over, just like in a fairy tale, "Evil and the man lived happily ever after"...

Specifically, the man who had recovered his health took advantage of the farce at the foot of the mountain to sneak into the village, married the daughter of the mask craftsman, and lived an ordinary life with Ergui and his family.

Although other villagers believed that it was the Sanbaoban who protected the village and buried them with honor, they actually didn't care too much because they had already been beaten to death anyway.

As for what happened next...

"Because the lifespan of the elven beast is relatively long, it lives in a relatively remote place and only appears during the annual festival."

I didn't expect that the story would end with the theory of longevity.

Link and Zhulan were filled with sorrow. They felt distressed that Evil Spirit kept sending their relatives and friends to death, and they also felt sorry that the story still had some disgusting parts in the end.

Fortunately, both the man and the evil spirit found the treasures they cherished.

"That's basically the situation," Link, who was responsible for translating and hiding the information about the resurrection seeds, concluded, "This is really cause for celebration."

Zhulan agreed with this and was satisfied because she had a glimpse of the whole legend of Beishang Township.

"Bonnie!"

So now is the time for Link to fulfill his promise by attending the Masking Festival with it!

Just at this time.

Something strange happened to the ancestral hall in Baoban Square in the distance, and screams were heard from countless tourists who went there to eat the cakes.

The three treasures buried under the stone statue unexpectedly came back to life amid the collective prayers! ?
