Chapter 66 Mask Thief
Lu Li was not unacceptable to the fact that the little girl was a thief, except for being surprised. After all, this is a world where mortals can cultivate and become immortals. Even foxes can become humans, so anything beyond common sense can happen.
The key to the question is, are the little girls really just little girls?
Could it be that an old soul lives in this small body? Or is it because of some evil practice that he has practiced to maintain such a tender appearance?
Well, Tianshan Tonglao?
What's more, it is possible that the little girl is taken over...
These thoughts came out in her mind, but they were overturned by Lu Li one by one, and she felt that the possibility was not high. After all, if she had the above situations, she shouldn't have been caught so easily by herself.
Even though she was taken over by someone and was in a weak stage, she could take over others. At least she was in the Nascent Soul stage cultivation. Even if she was weak, she would definitely have self-protection methods and would not be easily captured by herself!
Of course, it is not ruled out that she was deliberately caught by herself...
Then there is about the mask in his hand. Lu Li guessed whether it would be a special magic weapon?
Lu Li had not yet dabbled in magic weapons, and he had only a little understanding of it. He secretly used the means he could think of to check the mask and obtained several characteristics of the mask.
First of all, this thing cannot be destroyed, at least with his current strength, and even a trace cannot be left behind. Even if a piece of paint on it cannot be scraped off, it is obviously just a piece of light wood!
Secondly, Lu Li tried to control a trace of spiritual energy to enter the mask, without any effect. The spiritual energy would soon dissipate when it merged into it, just as if it was incompatible at all. Lu Li could not rule out the possibility that spiritual energy could not activate it, and at the same time, the spiritual energy could not destroy it.
Finally, Lu Li was sure that this was definitely not just an ordinary mask. In fact, this was nonsense. How could ordinary wood masks not be destroyed? How could they be opened with just a contoured mouth?
But Lu Li still summarized that "it is not an ordinary mask" into a characteristic.
It reminds me of the little girl who wears her movements very flexible and silently leaves no traces in her movements, but after taking them off, Lu Li has reason to believe that wearing it can give a person special abilities.
But the same sentence is still said, these are just inferences, and it is not ruled out that the little girl took the initiative to throw herself into the mouse and pretended to be taken down by him after the mask fell into Lu Li's hands.
With all the troubles, Lu Li looked at the little girl again and felt that she had become mysterious inexplicably.
Thoughts flashed, Lu Li looked at her and asked the simplest question, "What's your name, little girl?"
"Give me the mask back, give it back..." The little girl did not answer his question, but looked at the mask in Lu Li's hand and said anxiously with grievance. Her tender voice was trembling, her little face was pale and she cried. It was clearly the normal child's behavior after her beloved toy was stolen.
Frowning, Lu Li said again: "If you answer all my questions truthfully, I can consider giving you the mask."
But the answer to him was still the same sentence. The little girl kept asking Lu Li to return the mask, and the same was true for asking other questions.
It's simply impossible to communicate.
Everyone was able to communicate with each other, so what happened?
As a last resort, Lu Li looked at Zhao Xiaoyan and asked, "Miss Yanzi, she was with you before, didn't you realize when she left?"
"I don't know at all. I just think she is an ordinary little girl caught by a vixen and was frightened. She will find an opportunity to find her family through the government to reunite her, so I didn't think too much. After coaxing her to bed, I also fell asleep. I didn't know when she left." Zhao Xiaoyan shook her head, but then she looked at the mask in Lu Li's hand and added: "I saw this mask when I took a bath. I just thought it was her toy and didn't let go of her bath, and I didn't care."
Lu Li nodded thoughtfully. At this moment, he had every reason to believe that masks have some special importance to the little girl, and are definitely not as simple as ordinary beloved toys.
She couldn't communicate with the little girl. Even if she asked her why she stole things, why her mask's mouth could be opened, she could not answer these questions normally when she went there to wait for these questions. She was just concerned about asking Lu Li to return the mask.
Everyone was at a loss, and the monk said out of thin air: "Why should I try it?"
Under the inquiring eyes of Lu Li and others, he explained that he could recite a passage of calm and calm scripture, which might calm the little girl's mood and communicate with her.
There was no way Lu Li and others could only let him try it.
The chanting of the scriptures was not loud, but it was really effective. The little girl calmed down, and Lu Li guessed that the scriptures he chanted seemed to have a hypnotic effect.
"It should be possible to communicate normally now." A few minutes later, Nukong stopped chanting the scriptures and looked at Lu Li.
Nodded, Lu Li looked at the little girl and asked again: "What's your name, little girl?"
"I don't know..." the little girl said with a blank expression.
With his eyebrows raised, Lu Li asked again: "Do you have family? Do you still remember your parents?"
"Family? Parents? I forgot, they seem to have been dead for many years..." the little girl tilted her head and replied, with no sadness on her face.
Hearing this answer, Lu Li and others were shocked and their hair stood up all over their bodies.
Although she did not say any valuable information, this sentence itself was too problematic.
Her parents and family have been dead for many years, so why do she still look like she is three or four years old?
A flash of inspiration, Lu Li probably understood why he could not communicate normally with her before. From her illogical answer, she probably stayed at three or four years old for some reason, even her mind. Therefore, it would be strange if she could communicate normally with a three or four-year-old child with the mind of an adult.
The reason why her appearance and mind stay at three or four years old...
Lu Li looked at the mask in his hand.
"Little girl, where did you come from the mask? Why do you steal things?" Lu Li asked her.
The little girl subconsciously replied: "I picked up the mask. I don't remember where I picked it up. What does stealing mean? Wearing a mask is so fun. You can take whatever you like. When you take the things, those people can't find that I took their things, hehe."
As he said that, the little girl looked at the mask in Lu Li's hand pitifully.
A look of desire...
This is clearly a little girl who is not sound in mind and does things based on instinct to like, without the concept of good and evil or right and wrong.
Inexplicably, Lu Li was a little furry at this moment, and the originally light wooden mask in his hand seemed to be heavy, and he held it like a hot potato.
He suddenly realized that maybe it wasn't the little girl stealing things, but the mask itself stealing things. The little girl just picked it up by chance and acted as a carrier for many years.
And after the little girl picked it up or put it on, her life and mind were frozen!
