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

Chapter 108 Old Cauliflower Blocks the Road

Liu Bai was a little dazed when he saw this situation.

It seemed that he was here in the past as well, and it was because Mr. Ma treated him to a meal that he had a spirit after a meal.

Now Liuzi also ate the black musk deer soup brought by Liu Bai.

The third life fire is about to be burned out.

Upon seeing this, Master Ma put down the food in his hand and suddenly lit his three life-fires.

In the past two years, he just felt that the fire of life in him was burning unsteadily.

It's like being covered with a layer of gauze.

But it was not the case today. He just felt that the fire of life in him had never been so bright... What was it bright about? !

He looked at Liu Bai, who was standing on a chair beside him and lighting the fire of life.

I couldn't help but widen my eyes.

Damn, is this a gathering of energy? !

How big is the fire? Why is it burning so fiercely?
For a moment, Master Ma felt like he had been living a dog's life for the past few decades.

Liu Bai looked at Master Ma's expression and couldn't help laughing. Then he stretched out his right hand, raised his index finger, and shook it gently.

"You can not."

"I still need to come."

After saying this, he suddenly took a deep breath, then reached out and gently patted the big dragon behind Liuzi.

In an instant, Liuzi, who seemed to be in great pain, suddenly exhaled a breath of foul air, and the life fire in his head that he had been unable to hold back was released.

Finally the flame was ignited.

But it was still no match for Liu Bai and Master Ma's life fire. But even so, he was still glowing with joy after successfully lighting the fire.

He originally thought that if he wanted to light the three life flames, he would have to be as old as Master Ma, and the prerequisite was that he had to be as "chaste as a virgin" as Master Ma to have a glimmer of hope.

But I never thought that I would be in such a good mood today, especially with this delicious mountain spirit soup.

Hey, the fire of life was ignited directly.

Although due to his qualifications, the fire of life may not be very strong, but it is finally lit.

The three life fires are not comparable to these two life fires.

Liu Bai calmed down and slowly sat back, continuing to eat the black musk deer soup, finding it delicious.

Mr. Ma thought about it and said, "How about this, Liuzi, let's get up early tomorrow and send these puppies back first, and then go to the city together."

"Sure, no problem."

Liuzi lit three lamps and ate happily, so everything was easy to talk about.

When Liu Bai returned to his residence after eating and drinking, what he didn't expect was that the bedding he slept on a few years ago was still washed, dried and placed in the cupboard.

Not only his, but also the places where Hu Wei and Liu Tie had lived were the same.

Seeing Liu Bai was a little stunned, Liu Zi was also a little embarrassed, and then said: "I was afraid that you would come back to live here suddenly and there would be no quilts, so I saved them all for you."

Based on these words and actions, Liu Bai knew that the black musk deer was not given in vain today.

Maybe it was because Master Ma had a good temper, Liu Bai felt that his fellow disciples...may have different strengths, but when it comes to being human beings, they are all impeccable.

After getting on the bed and lying in the familiar little quilt, Liu Bai felt comfortable.

People feel refreshed when they are happy. Liuzi had no desire to sleep and kept chattering to Liu Bai about various things.

Most of the topics they talked about were about their fellow apprenticeships.

For example, Liu Tie worked for the Zhou family and learned the skill of paper-making, so he settled down in the city and brought his parents over.

When Hu Wei came back last year, he had a quarrel with the town mayor Hu Qian.

As a result, Hu Qian died of old age not long after. The current mayor is still a member of the Hu family, named Hu Quan. He is quite cruel in his behavior and the six sons don't associate with him much.

For example, there were only three big families left in the city originally, but last year, a force called "Wufutang" emerged in Xueshi City.

He follows the path of the spirit medium, and his work is quite open and honest, with a good reputation.

There is a tendency to become the fourth one.

Liu Bai originally wanted to ask more about the Wufu Hall, but Liuzi had been staying in Huangliang Town for many years and didn't know the situation in the city.

He just said that he would ask Hu Wei and the others tomorrow when he met them.

They are all in the city and may know more.

As they chatted, Liu Bai didn't know when he fell asleep. He only knew that it was Xiaocao who woke him up the next morning.

"Ma Laosan and the others have sent the last batch of people away, and you are still sleeping here. Hurry up and clean up."

"Let's go into the city, let's go into the city."

"Sir, Xiaocao is telling you, when this arrives in the city, don't just buy gifts for the queen, you have to buy some for Xiaocao too, understand?"

"Otherwise, when I get home, Xiaocao will tell on you."

Xiaocao was mumbling, but Liu Bai didn't hear it. For a moment, he didn't know whether he slept too late or Master Ma and the others got up too early.

While he was waiting, Master Ma and his companions had also returned from sending their people away.

When Liu Bai went out and saw Master Ma, he was also a little surprised.

Because yesterday I saw Master Ma with a head full of white hair, and today his hair has turned black again, and it is almost the same as in previous years.

This also made Liu Bai feel strange. He had to admit that this ghost walker really had some skills. If his spirit was lifted, even his white hair could turn black.

I just don’t know if the bald spot can grow back.

But Liu Bai felt that it was probably not possible, after all, the Taoist Master Yixiao was a bald man at the time.

"What are you looking at? Hurry up and pack your things and go into the city."

Liu Bai left all his things in Xumi and only carried a small bag on his back. He jumped onto the carriage. Master Ma, who had just returned, did not rest either. He turned the carriage around and went down the mountain.

When passing by Huangliang Town, Master Ma and Liuzi were tactful enough not to ask about Liu Bai's family affairs.

He didn't ask him whether he wanted to return to his home in Huangliang Town, nor did he ask where he was from, let alone ask about Madam Liu.

After passing through Huangliang Town, Liu Bai was about to enter the city. Although he had left home once before, he was still in the old woods at that time, and he had planned to return to Ma's manor later.

But this time I really have to go on a long journey. Once I leave Huangliang Town, I don’t know when I will come back next time.

So Liu Bai couldn't help but feel a little heavy.

As the three of them were squeezed on the shaft, he turned around and got into the carriage.

Mr. Ma and Liuzi looked at each other and didn't ask any more questions.

But after entering the carriage, Liu Bai reached into his cloth bag, and actually took out the booklet that his mother had given him from Xumi.

My mother said that when I really miss her, I can take it out and look at it.

Inside are the words his mother wrote to him.

Liu Bai felt that he missed his mother very much at the moment, so he opened a page at random, and it seemed empty at first glance.

But soon a line of extremely delicate handwriting appeared.

"The road ahead is long and the mountains are high. May my son be safe and sound every year."

……

Liu Bai stayed in the carriage for a long time before coming out as if nothing had happened.

Mr. Ma didn't ask, but immediately patted his carriage and said, "Young man from the Liu family, have you noticed that our carriage is a new one?"

"I saw it, I saw it."

In fact, Liu Bai did notice it, and he discovered it the first time he saw it.

Compared with the previous carriage, this carriage is much newer, and the horse pulling the carriage is no longer an old one.

But it is a strong green mane.

This horse runs much faster.

"This was given to me by Liu Tie during the Chinese New Year last year. He said he made it himself."

Mr. Ma was quite proud when he said this.

After all, Liu Tie also came out of his Ma family farm. He was naturally happy that Liu Tie had made some achievements outside.

Not to mention that Liu Tie is a sentimental person.

For a moment, Liu Bai also became curious about Hu Wei and Liu Tie, wondering how they were doing in the city.

The carriage drove out of the town and into the woods, and Master Ma's voice became much quieter.

But before the carriage had gone far, Liu Bai heard a loud noise coming from the woods above the road.

It seemed as if something was pushing its way through the woods and down the mountain.

Master Ma quickly stopped the carriage and lit the life fire at the same time, and so did Liuzi.

Only Liu Bai was not panicked at all.

This area around Laoshulinzi... is his territory now, and he knows everything about any disturbance.

"Ma Laosan, it's me. Who are you trying to scare, old man?!"

There were sounds coming from the woods beside the road.

Master Ma finally calmed down and said, "It turned out to be you, old man. You scared me. What are you doing in such a hurry?"

A snake head as big as a millstone emerged from the woods, flickering its tongue.

"You are here with two disciples, are you also going to get acquainted with the sect?"

"Recognize the door? Recognize which door?" Mr. Ma's voice sounded a little surprised, with a look of ignorance on his face.

"You don't know?" asked Old Cauliflower.

"do not know."

Old Cauliflower then climbed down from the woods and came to the center of the road, winding around so tightly that it couldn't even fit on the road.

Liu Bai estimated that if he were to eat this, it would probably be enough for him to eat for ten days.

I don't know if this cauliflower snake tastes good...

"There's a new mountain god in Mudong Town. He opened the mountain yesterday. Recently, many people have rushed over to get acquainted with the temple. I saw you were in such a hurry, so I thought you were going there too. If you are going, we can stop by."

Old Cauliflower didn't realize that he was about to be served on the table and continued talking to himself.

Upon hearing this, Master Ma also picked up his old pipe and asked, "Where is the original mountain god? Didn't the local snake suppress the dragon across the river?"

Old Cauliflower shook his head and said, "No, the new mountain god is a capable one, so everyone went there."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Ma looked towards the west.

"It's far away. I'll go in two days. I have something to do and need to go into the city first."

"Okay, I'll go check it out first."

After saying this, Lao Caihua poked his head toward the roadside, then went into the woods with his entire body, crawling toward the west.

Old Cauliflower didn't block the way anymore. Master Ma muttered a few words and then ignored him.

Mudong Town is far away, so even if there is a fire, it can't reach here. At most, people who have time after returning from the city will go over to take a look and burn incense.

Finally, we continued to go into the city. We couldn’t make it in one day, so we still had to stay in the Wupeng on Wupeng Mountain for one night.

Maybe because there was no ghost market, there was no one else staying in the black tent except the three of them.

Wait until the sun sets over the mountain and darkness shrouds the surroundings.

Master Ma built a fire in the black tent, Liu Bai stood guard around it, and Liuzi was preparing food nearby.

Another gust of mountain wind blew in from the narrow gap in the door, and Liu Bai frowned.

"what happened?"

Master Ma noticed his abnormality and asked.

Liu Bai also turned around and took a look, "It does seem a bit strange."
