“Senior Brother Mu, there's a mask seller over there, let's go buy masks too.”
Qing Yuan, holding a colored glass lantern depicting the immortal in the moon, ran over from the other end of the Stone Arch Bridge, pointed to a small mask stall not far away, and dragged Mu Fan to run towards it.
“Sure.”
Mu Fan didn't care and just smiled, letting Qing Yuan pull him, avoiding the crowded crowd, and running towards the stall.
The stall's business was booming, filled with young boys and girls buying masks of all shapes and sizes.
The most popular silver-grey and gold fox masks, half-covering the eyebrows and forehead, revealing the delicate chin and cherry-colored lips, perfectly set off the girls' tenderness and charm.
Girls gathered in groups, reaching out their hands to snatch the fox masks, while the ghost masks were ignored.
Mu Fan and Qing Yuan arrived at the stall and, at a glance, both of them reached out for a Ghost Mask.
A black ghost mask with white lines drawn on the eyelids and lips. The ink-black and snow-white colors complemented each other, giving a strong visual impact.
The two were stunned, then exchanged knowing smiles, finding a tacit understanding in each other's eyes.
“You like it, you wear it.”
Mu Fan withdrew his hand first, then took off another adjacent ghost mask and put it on his face.
Qing Yuan's eyes twinkled, shook the mask in his hand, and joked with a smile, “Senior Brother Mu, the new one you chose is also good, with a white base and black pattern, it looks like a pair.”
“The young man has a good eye, these two ghost masks are indeed a pair.”
The stall owner saw someone choosing the ghost masks and couldn't help smiling, “These ghost masks are said to be Black and White Impermanence, soul-fetching, and omnipotent.”
“Pfft.”
Qing Yuan couldn't help but burst into laughter, “So, it's Black and White Impermanence, hahaha… ”
“Cough cough.”
Mu Fan saw him laughing so carelessly, attracting a lot of attention, took out a few copper coins, threw them to the stall owner, and left with Qing Yuan.
“Senior Brother Mu.”
Qing Yuan was still laughing happily, put on the ghost mask, and waved his hand boldly, “Tonight, two ghosts travel together. Let's head to the City of Living in Vain and cause a ruckus. Let's see who dares to stop us.”
Mu Fan: “…”
Wearing the ghost mask, breathing in fits and starts, cold sweat dripping from the back of his head.

In the night, the moat was filled with sparkling green waves, and the river water flowed slowly. Many people came to the riverside to set off lotus lanterns.
Lotus lanterns floated downstream one by one, carrying people's earnest expectations and blessings, illuminating both sides of the river.
Mu Fan finally squeezed out of the lotus lantern stall and walked towards the riverside, looking for Qing Yuan's figure.
There were many people on the riverside, and people launching lanterns never stopped coming and going.
Mu Fan, carrying two lotus lanterns, searched for a silhouette wearing a ghost mask.
A figure in a green robe appeared in his vision, and his heart leaped with joy as he walked over, holding the lanterns.
“Qing Yuan.”
Upon reaching him, he handed one of the lotus lanterns to the other person and explained with a bitter smile, “There were too many people, and it took a lot of effort to buy these. Have you been waiting anxiously?”
That person held the lotus lantern and did not speak, the cheek under his mask lifting slightly, looking at Mu Fan intently.
“Qing Yuan?”
Mu Fan paused, took off his own ghost mask, revealing a handsome face that made both gods and mortals furious, and shook it in front of the other person, “It's me, Mu Fan.”
“Mu Fan?”
That person looked at the lotus lantern, then at him, seemingly puzzled, and then removed his own mask.
