Chapter 449 The strongest trainer and the strongest ghost team up, isn't that super cool!

In the B\u0026B.

Xue Zhong took a magnifying glass and carefully observed the details on the mask, occasionally exclaiming, as if the craftsmanship of the mask surprised him.

Shu Zi pushed two cups of hot tea in front of Luo Mu and Sha Li, glanced at him, and then apologized to them: "It seems that his state will continue for a while. If you don't mind, ask me if you have any questions."

Luo Mu and Sha Li looked at each other and nodded slightly.

Then, Luo Mu looked at the courtyard outside the living room.

Facing the slightly vigilant eyes of Roentgen Cat, Mimicry Hill and Monarch Snake, He Yue Xiong lay there with a salty face, allowing Sha Li's Caterpie to mess with it.

It held a bunch of grapes in its palm, and took a bite from time to time, and occasionally handed the fruit placed in front of it to Caterpie and Wind Speed ​​Dog.

Perhaps the presence of Growlithe and Houndoom reminded it of the time in the Xicui land, so the Moon Bear was very friendly to Growlithe and Houndoom.

It had been a while since Luo Mu and Sha Li returned to Cuilv Town.

They borrowed the courtyard of Mr. Xue Zhong's house, intending to treat the Moon Bear's injuries and see what the Moon Bear's personality was like.

With the three of Roentgen Cat and the Spirit Horse that could appear at any time, the Moon Bear couldn't make trouble even in this courtyard.

But the reality was far from his worries.

After leaving the high-level ball, the Moon Bear's previous fighting momentum with the Monarch Snake disappeared completely. He directly chose a place, found a comfortable posture and lay down directly, looking full of salted fish temperament.

Soon after, it developed into what it is now. Looking at its leisurely appearance, it is hard to imagine that it was fighting with the Monarch Snake not long ago.

Luo Mu retracted his gaze, looked at Shuzi again, and sorted out his own problems.

The He Yue Xiong, who noticed the disappearance of the sight, also breathed a sigh of relief.

Its idea was very simple.

There were probably three more as fierce as the monarch snake. Instead of rising up and getting beaten up, it was better to lie down from the beginning.

It didn't matter where you lay down.

This man was so powerful. It should be more comfortable for him to lie down than in the Eternal Forest. At least he didn't have to wait for the fog to get up to drink water and look for food.

"We saw a ghost."

After a little thought, Luo Mu chose to confess directly.

Since he had questions to ask people, he really shouldn't hide them.

Shuzi paused in brewing tea, with a look of surprise in his eyes.

Xue Zhong, who was standing next to him, was not affected at all, as if he was completely focused on the craftsmanship of the mask of the Evil Ghost.

After a while, Shuzi said, "Since you came to ask me, it means that you have doubts about the legend in the town. Am I right?"

The two nodded gently.

In any case, the Evil Ghost they saw was too different from the ferocious "ghost" in the story.

Seeing the expressions on Luo Mu and Sha Li's faces, Shu Zi knew the answer without answering.

She smiled kindly, "Since Er Gui Yan handed the mask to you, it means that it trusts you."

"You are not the townspeople of the town, and you don't have the prejudices that have been cultivated since childhood. Then let me tell you the truth of the story that has been passed down from generation to generation in my husband's family."

"In return, you must promise not to spread the story!"

Shu Zi, with gray hair, said solemnly.

Luo Mu and Sha Li also sat up straighter and nodded as a promise.

Seeing this, Shu Zi drank a sip of tea to moisten her throat, took a deep breath, and told the truth in a voice without personal feelings.

"A long time ago, a foreign man brought Ergui to Beishang Township.

But Beishang Township at that time was extremely xenophobic. Because their makeup and appearance were incompatible with the villagers, the man and Ergui were excluded as aliens, and no one was allowed to enter the village.

The man and Ergui did not care about the villagers' exclusion, but just felt it was a pity that they could not buy supplies.

He chose to find a cave with the ghost at the foot of Guishan, not far from Beishang Township, and lived an ordinary life there.

The mask craftsmen in the village saw this scene and carved four masks based on the strange gems brought by the man, so that they could use the masks to cover their faces, integrate into the group, and enter the village to buy.

Perhaps it was the ingenuity of the mask's craftsmanship, or perhaps it was the extraordinary origin of the gems inlaid on the mask.

The news spread all of a sudden, and even Even distant foreign countries have heard of it.

Three treasure companions. No, three greedy Pokémon traveled through mountains and rivers and came to this Beishang Township.

While the man and Eruption were out, they sneaked into the cave where the man and Eruption lived, intending to steal four masks.

Just as they were implementing their plan, the man happened to return to the cave for some reason and witnessed everything.

No one knows what happened in the cave, but a few hours later, when Eruption returned to the cave, he only saw many traces of fighting and the green mask that the man had protected at all costs.

I don't know how he knew everything, and the furious Eruption put on the mask and ran down the mountain, and found several Pokémon holding masks and smiling triumphantly, planning to hold a banquet.

In order to avenge the man, Eruption killed all those Pokémon.

At the same time, the villagers who had gathered for the celebration heard the noise and rushed over to see the furious Eruption. They were very scared and thought that Eruption was the evil and tyrannical ghost.

Because of the arrival of the villagers, Eruption did not have time to collect the remaining three masks and had to retreat temporarily.

The villagers believed that the three Pokémon protected the village from the clutches of the ghost, so they affectionately called them treasure companions and buried them with honor.

The injured Eruption was immersed in sorrow and returned to his and the man's residence alone.

The ancestor of our family, as the only mask craftsman who knew the truth, once tried hard to tell the villagers the truth, but the villagers not only ignored him, but regarded him as a heretic and persecuted him mercilessly.

Finally, out of helplessness, in order to protect his family descendants, he could only preserve the truth and let his descendants continue to pass on the true history. "

After finishing the story, Shuzi took another sip of tea to moisten his dry throat, and looked at the silent Luo Mu and Sha Li, observing their reactions.

Luo Mu was in a slightly heavy mood.

He guessed that the story might not be true, but he didn't expect it to be reversed to this extent.

In the real story, Ergui and the man were completely persecuted, but the three bad guys were worshipped, which was really infuriating!

Sha Li was so angry that she wanted to announce the truth, but she soon forced herself to calm down.

Not to mention that she promised Shuzi that she would never tell anyone, judging from the one or two months she had been in Beishang Township, what would happen even if the truth was announced?

The townspeople now are no longer the same as before, just Just like the moral kidnapping fundraising that Luo Mu encountered, for the townspeople who still retain some xenophobic ideas here, but have to endure it because the business of Emerald Town depends entirely on outsiders.

Is the truth important?

They don't respect the "good" Samboban, and they don't have any ideas about "ghosts". For them, the so-called legends are just a means to develop tourism and make money.

Everything is meaningless now.

Even if they know the truth, even if they try to make the townspeople believe the truth, those people will probably still build the statue of Samboban and make a lot of money.

In the courtyard outside, the Pokémon who have been listening to the story attentively also have their own reactions.

Sally's Growlithe drooped its tail a little disappointed, Luo Mu The Windy Dog was also a little shocked. As a Pokémon that had never been exposed to such things, this story undoubtedly impacted its three views.

A complex expression appeared in the eyes of the Monarch. He didn't expect that the green dwarf had experienced such a thing.

Mimikyu, who has strong empathy, was already sad.

Roentgen was thinking about whether it would cause trouble for Luo Mu if he blew up the shrine of the Three Pokémons in the Pokémon Square in the middle of the night.

Gyarados and Uchiha, who stayed obediently in the pond, didn't quite understand.

According to the original thinking of the Spirit Horse, it would say that it was entirely because the Uruk-York was too weak that things became so tragic, but after staying on the farm for such a period of time, its way of thinking has also changed a lot.

It was thinking about waiting to go to the shrine in the middle of the night. , can we catch the soul of the three treasures?

Compared with the different reactions of the Pokémon, the reaction of the He Yue Xiong is quite different.

It stared with wide eyes, and some memories made its expression extremely complicated.

It also roughly remembered that a long time ago, when it just came to Beishang Township, it had encountered something.

If that man is the man in the story

He Yue Xiong hesitated. Should it tell Luo Mu about this?

Luo Mu, who was standing aside, didn't know what He Yue Xiong was thinking.

At this time, in the whole living room, except for the movement made by Xue Zhong who was concentrating on observing the mask, the atmosphere in the air was always very heavy, and no one spoke.

It was Xue Zhong's shout that broke the silence.

"In this case, it can be repaired!"

Several people looked at him immediately.

Xue Zhong, who had regained his attention, seemed to have noticed that the atmosphere was wrong. He realized that his wife had told the two the truth, so he said: "Although the technology is definitely not as good as the ancestors, I can still repair this mask. I have most of the materials, and the crystal fragments you brought are enough."

"But this is not the point. "

Xue Zhong looked at Luo Mu seriously and said, "Since Ergui is willing to entrust you with the important mask, it means that it trusts you."

"And this trust is probably far beyond that of my ancestors, and perhaps it can be close to the man in the story."

"It has been lonely for too long. If possible, I hope you can try to take Ergui away. Time can heal all wounds. Don't let it stay here and be reminded of the past."

"Besides, if it stays in Beishang Township, it will only continue to suffer unfair treatment and endure the hatred of others alone. "

Take Erguiyan away?

If I say that I have never thought of this, it must be a lie.

But.

After learning the truth, Luo Mu was not sure whether he could make Erguiyan choose to leave with him.

The reason why Bai Yueguang is Bai Yueguang is because of her uniqueness, and among them, the dead Bai Yueguang is incomparable.

Is my weight to Erguiyan really enough to make her abandon her memories with men and leave her hometown again?

Luo Mu was not sure, so he could only give such an answer.

"I'll try."

Xuezhong nodded lightly and added: "The repair of the mask will probably take until tomorrow morning. During this period, it is up to you whether you want to rest or go find Egui Pul."

After exchanging a few more words, Luo Mu and Sha Li got up and prepared to go out first.

Just as they stood up, Xuezhong said something meaningful.

"The remaining three masks are also enshrined in the shrine in Baoban Square."

The truth has too much staying power.

Even though they hadn't slept all night, Luo Mu and Sha Li didn't feel sleepy at all.

After Shali was silent for a few seconds, she said she planned to take some more photos in Green Town, and went out with the dog.

Luo Mu knew that she wanted to go to Baoban Plaza to investigate, but he didn't stop her.

Just as Luo Mu was heading towards Cuilu Town, he met Dan Yu and Wu Li again.

The two of them said hello to Luo Mu respectfully. The sensitive Wu Li immediately noticed that Luo Mu's mood seemed to be a little wrong, and asked cautiously.

Luo Mu originally didn't plan to tell the two children these things.

But he remembered his judgment of Wuli's character.

I don’t know if this matter can be completely concealed. Even if it is concealed, when Wuli grows up, according to the inheritance of Mr. Xuezhong’s family, he will probably know the truth.

Based on Wu Li's love for "ghosts", Luo Mu felt that if he accidentally let him know something after concealing it, it might make his character problems more serious.

After thinking deeply, he decided to tell Wuli part of the truth.

Instead of telling the story Aunt Millet told, leaving the two children to complain about Eguifen, Luo Mu just said a brief sentence.

"Last night, I met a 'ghost' again."

As soon as these words came out, Dan Yu covered her mouth in surprise, while Wu Li's eyes were full of surprise, and he made a subtle voice of surprise.

"Mr. Luo Mu, is this true!?"

"It's true."

Luo Mu nodded.

The excited Wu Li wanted to hold Luo Mu's hand, but was worried that he was too presumptuous. He could only stand there and asked with bright eyes: "Is Mr. Luo Mu going to see a ghost now?"

Luo Mu nodded slightly, "I have this plan."

Wuli asked again, "Then can you take me there?"

"I'm afraid it's a little inconvenient."

Luo Mu apologized.

"That's it"

Wu Li was silent for a few seconds. He was keenly aware that Luo Mu was indeed worried about something, so he changed his tone.

"Then when Mr. Luo Mu comes back, can you share some ghost stories with me?"

Luo Mu glanced at Wu Li in surprise and nodded in agreement: "Of course there is no problem."

"Then it's settled!"

Wu Li happily sent Luo Mu away.

When Luo Mu walked away, Dan Yu, who always liked to protect Wu Li with his own ideas, asked with some worry: "A Li, don't you like ghosts the most?"

Wuli understood what her sister meant, lowered her head and nodded shyly: "Yes."

"Then why are you."

Dan Yu hesitated to speak. Although she also admired Luo Mu, if this continues, the ghost will be taken away.

Wu Li put his hands behind his back. He was very happy that Luo Mu could treat him like this and not hide himself because of his young age.

He rarely showed a faint smile in front of Dan Yu and spoke softly.

"hey-hey."

"The strongest trainer and the strongest ghost form a partnership, isn't this super cool!"
