Folklore: The baby starts the game, and the mother takes off her painted skin

Chapter 101 We all have a bright future [ask for monthly tickets]

As for Qi, blood and spirituality, you can add it as long as you have 0.1 attribute points.

So as for the ghost body... do I have to save up 1 attribute point before I can add it?

It's possible.

Looking left and right, he couldn't go out now, so Liu Bai was about to switch himself back to human form, but at this moment, he saw Xiaocao poking his head out stealthily from the ground.

"Wow!!!"

As soon as it appeared, it made an extremely exaggerated sound, then jumped out and exclaimed: "Sir, you are so handsome!"

"If you go out like this, all the old woods, no... all the forbidden female ghosts, will be bewitched by you and unable to move."

After saying that, it jumped in front of Liu Bai and circled around him.

He never stopped talking, saying whatever sounded nice.

Some of the things he said were so good that even Liu Bai felt inferior to him.

Finally, as usual, he jumped onto Liu Bai's back and put his hands on his shoulders.

But this time, as soon as it jumped up, it cried out, "Ouch!" "Sir, what's on your back? It's hurting me."

After saying that, it lifted up Liu Bai's cloak and said, "Oh, it turns out that you are a flying ghost."

Liu Bai: "..."

After waiting for Xiaocao to finish going crazy, Liu Bai had an idea, and the ghost body panel retreated and the human body panel moved forward.

Then the evil features on his body quickly disappeared and he returned to his original appearance.

Looking at my own white and tender little hands.

Liu Bai's mind moved again, and then the skin on his body began to change. In just a breath of time, he turned into a ghost baby.

He grinned slightly, revealing his four fangs, looking quite ghostly.

Liu Bai was having a lot of fun, switching back and forth constantly.

But after playing it for hundreds of times, he felt bored, but his proficiency in switching improved and the speed of body transformation became faster.

Just like now, he can turn from a human into a ghost with just a turn.

It can also stand up from squatting. Just with this action, it can transform from a ghost into a human.

But it is still a bit slow. It would be better to be able to change in an instant.

After a whole morning of hard work, Liu Bai was not hungry, but it was time for lunch.

He slipped underground and took a look, and found that his mother was sitting at the table with a book in front of her. She was supporting her chin with her right hand and her eyes were closed as if she was dozing.

Occasionally, a stream of blood would flow around it and then disappear.

Liu Bai felt that his mother should be practicing, so he did not disturb her, but turned around and went back to the ground.

"Xiaocao, go and make a fire!" he shouted outside.

Xiaocao responded quickly.

"Okay, today the young master will cook for us himself!"

When making a fire with the straw, Liu Bai was always worried that it would burn itself, because it was a scarecrow. But when it was time to light the fire, it actually rushed into the stove pit holding a handful of firewood.

Even though there was a raging fire inside, it was not afraid at all.

Fortunately, after seeing it go back and forth a few times and not setting itself on fire, Liu Bai felt relieved.

When it comes to cooking, Liu Bai is naturally prepared to show off his cooking skills.

But the result... He still knew how to steam rice, but when it came to cooking he had no idea how to start.

Just when he was about to smash the iron pot with a spatula.

At this moment, a snow-white jade hand stretched out from behind him, and a disgusted voice sounded in his ear: "Without me here, you will really starve yourself to death, right?!"

Seeing this, Liu Bai shouted loudly without even turning his head: "Mom!!"

Madam Liu skillfully cooked the dishes while saying, "I'll give you three days. If you can't learn it within three days, you'll starve to death."

"All right……"

Facts have proved that when people are pushed into a corner, they can do anything.

Just like Liu Bai, Madam Liu gave him a three-day deadline.

Three days later, although the dishes Liu Bai cooked were not half-cooked, at least he did not starve to death.

So Madam Liu gave some instructions and went underground again.

During these three days, Liu Bai was also looking forward to how many attribute points were needed to add points to the ghost body. Maybe it was really 1?

With this thought in mind, Liu Bai waited.

So he didn't add any more during these three days, but just kept hoarding it.

He spent most of the day honing his skills, either reading or chatting with Xiaocao.

When I was really bored, I squatted at the door and watched the people passing by.

Although they were rare on the street where he lived, he would still see one if he waited long enough.

And this is one of the few pleasures that Liu Bai has in the day.

Until the afternoon of the third day, he squatted at the door of his house as usual, waiting to see if there were any passers-by.

But suddenly, he found a familiar figure walking towards him from the end of the street.

She was wearing a snow-white long dress. She was none other than the tea art master, Situ Hong.

As usual, she walked down the street with her head down, all the way to the door of Liu Bai's house.

This time she had put on a veil again, covering her delicate little face.

She looked up and could clearly see that she was very close to Liu Bai.

Liu Bai can see her, but she cannot see Liu Bai.

The look in her eyes... was very complicated, containing pleading, pain, despair, and a deep trace of regret.

She just stood there watching at the door, not daring to take a step forward.

It was not until a long time had passed that Liu Bai noticed that there was suddenly a man behind her. He had gray hair, a wealthy appearance, a simple smile on his face, and squinting eyes.

"Ancestor..." Situ Hong shouted.

Situ Busheng still smiled and said, "Let's go. I asked many people in Huangliang Town and they all said that Lady Liu Xian has moved away."

"This one is naturally empty."

"But I..."

Until this moment, Situ Hong revealed her desire to ignite the fire and go to the underworld, "But my chance to ignite the fire still lies with Liu... Young Master Liu."

"The ancestor knows." The smile on Situ Busheng's face did not diminish at all. He gently patted Situ Hong's shoulder and comforted her: "Maybe this is a test from Empress Liu Xian for you?"

"Right."

“Try to look at the bright side of things, especially when it comes to things you can’t control.”

"If this is really a test from Lady Liu Xian, if you pass it, then your future will be limitless."

"It's just a small act of ignition, it's nothing."

"Let's go, idiot."

As Situ Busheng spoke, he gently patted his big belly, hummed an unknown little tune, and walked out of the street.

But when he saw that he had walked very far away, Liu Bai heard his voice again.

"Go to the underworld. Go to the underworld. Life and death will last for a hundred years. Fortune and wealth are in the hands of God. You and I are not at the mercy of fate. Evil spirits are merciless. Not being able to go to the underworld is not necessarily a bad thing."

Situ Hong listened, then lowered his head and left.

From beginning to end, the two of them never thought of going in to take a look. Liu Bai just looked at their backs, then lifted up his left sleeve and took off the bracelet that was still slightly hot.

He knew that as long as he smashed it, Situ Hong would be able to successfully light it.

But what if it smashes?
If it is smashed, will it expose the fact that my mother and I are still here... Then let's wait a little longer. Who knows, it may be just like what Patriarch Situ said, that being unable to escape from the underworld is not necessarily a bad thing.

Moreover, Liu Bai was also a little curious. When he saw her again the next time he went out, would she have changed?
Thinking of this, he put the bracelet back on.

Noticing his action, Madam Liu, who had originally closed her eyes, suddenly opened them with a hint of smile in the corners of her eyes, but quickly closed them again.

Because she found that Liu Bai was looking at others and trying to figure out what they were thinking.

And while I am here underground, I can look at Liu Bai in my spare time and try to figure out his little thoughts, which is also a pleasure.

"Don't worry, the later the bracelet is broken, the greater the benefit it will be to her."

Liu Bai suddenly heard Madam Liu's voice in his ears, which made him look sideways.

On the same afternoon, not long after Situ Hong and Situ Laozu left, Liu Bai saw a few familiar figures walking towards him.

They were Hu Wei, Liu Zi and Liu Tie.

They also came all the way to Liu Bai. Judging from the expressions on their faces, they were all a little sad, and Hu Wei was the worst.

The three of them arrived here but did not enter the house.

In their eyes, this was a tightly closed door. They stared at it blankly, and finally Liu Tie was the first to speak.

"Brother Xiao Liu had such a good relationship with us, why did he leave so suddenly without even saying hello? Sigh."

"Maybe he really encountered something urgent, otherwise, with Junior Brother Liu's personality, he would definitely come and tell us." Liuzi said immediately.

Only Hu Wei kept his head down the whole time and said nothing. It was not until Liuzi asked him that he finally spoke in a mumbling voice.

"I wonder if I'll have the chance to meet Junior Brother Liu again in this lifetime."

Liu Bai rolled his eyes after hearing this… I’m just practicing hard for a while, I’m not dying, how could there be no chance for us to meet?

"Of course he will. Senior Brother Xiao Liu is so nice. When he is free in the future, he will definitely come back to see us."

Liu Tie said repeatedly.

"That's right, Junior Brother Hu, don't think too much about it." Liuzi also reached out and patted Hu Wei's shoulder.

"Let's go. The three families are still waiting at the threshing ground. It's not a big deal to pay them wages. It depends on whether they are willing to hire us."

When Liu Bai heard Liuzi's words, he was indeed moved.

From what he said, it seemed that the three families wanted to take them in? Bring them into the city?

This is a good thing. Although it is difficult to survive in the city alone, it will be much better if you have the support of three major families.

Thinking of this, Liu Bai thought of Qiu Qianhai again. If he hadn't gone into the city so early... would there have been a better outcome?
Seeing that all three of them had left.

The area in front of Liu Bai's house gradually became deserted, with not even many chickens passing by.

He was still thinking that Master Ma would come, but when it got dark no one showed up. Liu Bai could only curse in his heart that Master Ma had no conscience.

As for Xiaocao, she had already started to curse him in the most harsh terms, saying that Ma Laosan was ungrateful, that Ma Laosan had lost all conscience, and that Ma Laosan would be a bachelor for the next life and so on.

Liu Bai hastily had a dinner with the leftovers from lunch.

And swear to cook well tomorrow.

That night, he did not go underground again, but lay on his bed on the ground. As usual, after saying "Good night, mother, see you tomorrow", he fell into a deep sleep.

He didn't know what time it was in the middle of the night, but he suddenly heard someone sighing and groaning at the door of his house.

At first he was stunned, thinking he had heard wrongly.

But after a while, I found out that it was actually true!

He jumped out of bed. Xiaocao heard the noise in the room and also squeezed in through the crack in the door.

"Sir, come quickly, it's Ma Lao San!"

Apparently, it had been listening at the door for some time.

"When did he come?" Liu Bai asked as he got out of bed.

"I just arrived an incense stick of time ago."

After waiting for Liu Bai to leave, he came to the door and found that Master Ma was indeed there, leaning against the door with a pot of wine in his hand.

So in Liu Bai's view, Master Ma was actually right next to him, right in front of him.

He had a sip of wine in his left hand and a cigarette in his right hand.

He sits here as happy as a god, but judging from his eyes and expression, he is not happy.

"Young man Liu, and Madam Liu, why are you in such a hurry to leave? You didn't even say hello to me. I could at least see you off..."

Then Mr. Ma began to confess his story.

Liu Bai knew that Mr. Ma's alcohol tolerance was actually very low. After a few sips of wine, his face would turn red.

It was the same tonight, so after just a few sips, his face was as red as a monkey's butt.

Mumbling.

He would say that if it weren't for Empress Liu, he, Ma Lao San, would have died countless times.

What did he say next? He really liked Liu Bai. He was like a disciple and also like a good friend. It was very strange.

Then he started to praise her profusely, and Liu Bai blushed just by listening to her.

After talking like this for a long time, Mr. Ma finally wiped his face, sighed deeply, and finally came to his senses.

"This afternoon, the three families were actually at the threshing ground testing the young shamans from Huangliang Town and several nearby towns, saying they were planning to bring some of them into the city."

"Hu Wei lit two fires, so naturally people wanted them. After thinking about it carefully, he joined the Short Knife Gang."

"Although Liu Tie only lit a fire, he was simple and patient. I didn't expect that he had a talent for being a paper craftsman. In the end, he was taken away by the Zhou family."

"It's a pity for Liuzi. He was the first one to follow me, but his talent is really limited. Unexpectedly, no family is willing to take him in... Alas."

As Master Ma spoke, he sighed again.

Liu Bai had a complicated expression when he heard this. Although the result was not unexpected, he still felt bad for Liuzi.

I have a mother, so it’s okay that they can’t compare to me.

But Hu Wei and Liu Tie are still there. Now, they have also entered the city and joined the three major families.

Everyone has a bright future, except him...

"After Liuzi knew the result, he locked himself in the room and has not come out yet. But there is nothing he can do. His fate is like this. It is too difficult to change his fate."

When Master Ma said this, he stood up with the pot of wine which still had most of the wine left.

"The Short Knife Gang doesn't want Liuzi, the Zhou Family doesn't want Liuzi, and the Red Lantern House doesn't want Liuzi either... Fine, if none of you want him, I'll teach him myself!"

As he spoke, his body swayed and a lot of the wine he was holding spilled.

He did not take the carriage this time, but just staggered forward, "In this town, there has to be a ghost walker."

"If there are no more ghost walkers staying in the town, this town... won't last long."

Liu Bai looked at Master Ma's departing back and felt more and more complicated. He did not go back and just sat at the door until dawn.

All the people who should have come have come, but those who shouldn’t have come have not been seen yet.

Liu Bai stayed at home for ten days.

On the ninth night, he didn't even sleep. He just sat there waiting for the arrival of the early morning. He wanted to check the attribute points accumulated for the past ten days.

Is it enough to advance my ghost body?

-

ps: Everyone says it's ugly, but it won't be ugly after it advances tomorrow. Last day for double monthly tickets, I'm not quick enough to sell them, I'll add more monthly tickets tomorrow
