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

Chapter 109: Dragon Crossing the River [asking for monthly ticket]

The higher the spirituality of the ghost walker, the easier it is for him to sense some strange things.

Last night at the Ma family farm, Master Ma already knew that Liu Bai's spirituality was higher than his.

So it is reasonable that Liu Bai can feel some other things but he cannot.

"You mentioned earlier that the Wupeng on Wupeng Mountain...what's so special about it?"

When I first came to the city a few years ago, I settled in Wupeng. Mr. Ma mentioned it at that time, so Liu Bai had some impression of it, but he couldn't remember it clearly.

Master Ma lit a cigarette in the fire, took a puff and then said, "This Wupeng was where the mountain god lived in the past. It's right behind here, and the walls are still black."

Liu Bai said "Oh", then lowered his head and suddenly said:
"So, would you like to come out and meet us, Mr. Mountain God?"

Upon hearing this, Mr. Ma immediately put down the cigarette in his mouth and said nothing, just looking around vigilantly.

After waiting for a long time and hearing nothing, Master Ma said:

"Mountain God, what's the matter? Even I, Ma Lao San, can't trust you? I burned incense for you a lot in the past."

As he spoke, a dark shadow emerged from the black, smoky wall behind the tent. As soon as it appeared, a smell of incense filled the air.

Upon seeing this, Mr. Ma quickly took the pipe out of his mouth, then looked at the black shadow in front of him with a look of surprise and disbelief.

Finally, the tall and thin black figure came and sat down in front of them.

Master Ma then said, "Mountain God, why are you still here?"

The shadow laughed bitterly, "I can't help it. My new home has been occupied by someone else. I was kicked out and have nowhere to go. I can only return to my old home to live for a few days."

Only then did Liu Bai realize that the mountain god came from the Wupeng on the Wupeng Mountain mentioned by Master Ma.

It turned out to be the mountain god of Mudong Town.

Thinking back to what Lao Caihua said, a new mountain god came and the old mountain god was driven away. In the end, he had no choice but to return to the black hut.

Without waiting for Master Ma to ask again, the black shadow looked at Liu Bai and asked curiously:

"Several groups of people have come here before, but they didn't notice me. How did you know I was here?"

There will be a special smell where the Night Wanderer walks, and there must be incense ash within a ten-foot area nearby... Liu Bai recalled what he had read in the book and said:

"Because I have a keen nose and I smelled the scent of the mountain god."

The old mountain god knew when he heard Liu Bai that he was not telling the truth, but he did not ask any more questions.

He turned to look at Master Ma and sighed, "There's really nothing we can do now. I don't know where this dragon from across the river came from."

"Very strong?" asked Master Ma.

The old mountain god nodded. "Very strong. Logically speaking, even if he became a night-wandering god, he wouldn't come to occupy my little mountain... I don't know what he's eyeing."

"Then I don't know."

Master Ma shook his head. "What about you, the old mountain god? How about setting up a new altar in this black tent and gathering the incense and offerings first?"

The old mountain god raised his head upon hearing this, glanced at Master Ma in front of him, and then said, "This is very strange. I am going to go to the city to find the City God and see what He has to say."

"That's okay too."

Master Ma nodded, "That's a way. If you have any problems, see if the City God can help you."

The old mountain god's gaze was still on Master Ma, without moving away at all.

"What?"

"I can't walk in my current state. If I were to go to the city, I'd probably die before I even get there."

As the old mountain god spoke, he glanced at Liu Bai and Liu Zi again.

"Ma Lao San, please lend a hand. Give me a disciple to possess. I will never forget your kindness this time."

Speaking of the mountain god's possession, Liu Bai also knew something about it.

For ordinary people, if they are possessed by a spirit, even if they don't get a serious illness, they will at least be sick for a few days.

But for those who practice Yin-Wan, it does not cause any hindrance.

It's just like the spirit medium, who specializes in possessing mountain and water gods or evil spirits.

"Okay, that's no problem."

Ma Laosan had already sold out Liuzi subconsciously in his heart.

But unexpectedly, the old mountain god set his eyes on Liu Bai.

"I?"

Liu Bai pointed at himself, and then suddenly ignited his own life fire.

With just one glance, the old mountain god shifted his gaze to Liuzi.

What a joke! The fire is burning so fiercely, if I get into it, I might get burned to death!

At first he did want to stay with the little kid Liu Bai for a day, but now it seems that Liuzi is better.

This would not be a problem for him, and Master Ma had already agreed, so Liuzi naturally did not refuse.

Upon seeing this, the old mountain god turned back into the wall and took out a handful of about ten green beads.

"I left in a hurry and didn't bring anything good with me. This is not much of a gift, please accept it."

The old mountain god was still very sensible and did not choose to get it for free.

After giving a helping hand and doing some dirty work, there should be some gain. Mr. Ma did not refuse, but gave most of it to Liuzi.

He himself only had one left.

Liu Bai didn't help, so he naturally refused.

This could only be considered a minor episode on the way into the city. After it was resolved, the old mountain god kept watch while Liu Bai and the others slept for the night.

The next day, Liu Bai saw the mountain god possessed for the first time.

As a result, he just saw the black shadow walked into Liuzi's body. After Liuzi shivered, even his voice changed and became the voice of the old mountain god.

"Let's go."

After getting on the carriage, the old mountain god got into the carriage, while Yu Liu Bai sat on the shaft to look at the scenery.

Xiaocao sat on Liu Bai's shoulder as usual, looking around.

After leaving Wupeng Mountain, Xueshi City is not far away.

After running around the city for another hour or two, he finally arrived at the west gate. Before he even went in, Liu Bai discovered that it was a lot more chaotic than in previous years.

It would be fine if there were just people fighting, but people like Mr. Ma, who was driving a horse-drawn carriage, were rushing around without any scruples.

When entering the city, he just nodded symbolically and entered the city through the gate reserved for Yin people.

The city was still dilapidated, even more dilapidated.

At just one glance, Liu Bai saw that the walls of several shops had collapsed and no one had repaired them.

And this is a prime location facing the city gate.

"Let's go to the City God Temple first and finish our business first." Master Ma held a pipe in his mouth and looked around with his tiger eyes, making some prying eyes retreat.

"it is good."

There is no problem with Liu Bai.

People entered from the west gate, but the City God Temple was on the east side of the Blood Food City, so if you want to get there you have to cross the entire city.

Fortunately, this Blood Food City also has an east-west main street called Fugui Street.

A very common name.

Master Ma's carriage was running on this prosperous street. Liu Bai looked around and found that compared with three years ago, the place was much more dilapidated.

Most of the shops were closed, and the people passing by were all in a panic, thin and some had pale faces.

It may take more than ten or twenty years to maintain the world, but only one year is enough to create chaos.

Not to mention that more than three years have passed.

When the carriage arrived at the center of the city, Liu Bai saw better things. Perhaps it was because the City Lord's Mansion was here, and he finally didn't see the ghosts fighting. He walked through the streets, waiting to see the city wall again. Finally, he arrived at the City God Temple of the Blood Food City.

Even from a distance, before he got close, Liu Bai could already see the single building.

A towering temple with no other houses around it, and the overwhelming popularity of incense shocked him.

The roof was covered with green tiles, and at this moment, the entire roof was filled with smoke from incense.

The crowd was so large that the queue had already stretched all the way to the City God Temple.

When Liu Bai saw this situation, a sentence he saw on the tree naturally popped up in his mind.

“In prosperous times, there are many people; in troubled times, there are many incense.”

The more chaotic the world is, the more people will seek protection from gods.

Therefore, it is easy for these incense-related forces to rise up in these troubled times.

After Master Ma drove the carriage to the gate of the City God Temple, he put away the paper horse. Now in this Blood Food City... he didn't dare to let his horse loose.

If you put it at the door, I'm afraid it will disappear when you go into the temple and come out.

There were already many common people queuing there, but seeing the underhanded tactics used by Mr. Ma and the way he was dressed, they all avoided him.

Not to mention them, even the ghost walkers in this city dare not mess with the ghost walkers from the mountains.

While waiting to enter the City God Temple, Liu Bai didn't pay attention for a moment and almost choked to tears.

Although he had anticipated that there would be a lot of smoke in here.

But I didn't expect it to be so big. It was so dark that I couldn't even see my hand in front of me.

When they looked up, they couldn't even see the statue sitting high on the altar, but these people seeking shelter were still burning incense here respectfully.

"You kid, just click on a spirit."

When Master Ma said this, his head was glowing.

Liu Bai then released his spirit body. After his little head lit up, he suddenly felt the air was fresh.

I didn't expect that spirits could have this effect. It seems that no matter how many principles you read in books, they are not as good as those of a practical person like Mr. Ma... Liu Bai was thinking randomly in his heart, and he had already followed Mr. Ma and the old mountain god to bypass the altar of the City God Temple and came to the back.

Compared with the front, the back is more closed and there are no doors or windows.

The smoke was even thicker, and in such a place, a small room was built, with a white-haired old man with drooping eyelids guarding the door of the room.

Liu Bai guessed that this should be the priest of the City God Temple.

Perhaps he heard footsteps approaching, so he raised his head, opened his eyes, narrowed his cloudy eyes, and glanced around.

Liuzi, who was possessed by the old mountain god, moved closer and said in a low voice, "It's me, the one from Mudong Town."

The temple keeper was stunned after hearing this, and seemed to think for a while before he remembered, "Oh, you little snake, why are you back?"

"It's something big."

After the old mountain god finished speaking, the temple keeper nodded slightly, turned around and pushed the wooden door open a crack.

The old mountain god turned around and thanked Master Ma, then came out of Liuzi's body, turned into a black shadow and slipped through the crack in the door.

As soon as he entered, the wooden door closed by itself.

There was a "bang" sound.

The temple keeper once again shrugged his eyes and waved his hand casually, "Let's go."

Master Ma responded and then helped the dazed Liuzi out.

Liu Bai followed him to the door and looked back, only then could he see the true appearance of the City God.

He was wearing a black and gold coat, his face was solemn, his face was red, and his eyes were wide open.

His right hand was stretched out in front of him, and his left hand was holding a sword in his arms. His body was slightly leaning forward, as if he was trying to subdue a demon.

It looks good... Liu Bai muttered to himself, but he didn't wait to go out.

But I could hear a loud fight happening at the door.

Liuzi, who was in a daze, was coughing continuously due to choking, and his eyes were red from the irritation.

Mr. Ma bit his pipe, squeezed through the crowd in front of him, and finally came out. Smelling the fresh air outside, Liuzi finally came to his senses and gasped for breath.

Liu Bai looked at the two groups of people who were taking action on the right.

Judging from their attire, they should all be from the city. Their strength is just so-so. The two leading ones are capable of burning spirits, while the others are just lighting fires.

Liu Bai estimated that he alone was enough to burn them to death.

Mr. Ma also took a look and explained, "The one in pink is from the Red Lantern House, but not from the Situ family, but from the Meng family."

"The other group all had short knives hanging from their waists. They must be from the Short Knife Gang."

"There is a Meng family in Red Lantern House?"

This was the first time Liu Bai heard of this.

"Well, the Situ family is bigger, and the Meng family's power cannot compare to it." Perhaps because they were close, Master Ma did not say much.

As for the people living nearby, they all stayed away from it for fear of getting into trouble.

Seeing that Liuzi was feeling better, Master Ma took out the paper horse from his arms and threw it on the ground.

"Let's go too. This place is close to Baihu Street. Let's go find Hu Wei first."

As Master Ma spoke, Liu Bai and the other man jumped onto the carriage. As they passed by the two groups of people fighting, Liu Bai was still listening to what the people from the Short Knife Gang were saying.

"Whatever Gong Yang says, you Meng family will believe it? You might as well join the Wufu Hall with your whole family. No wonder you are suppressed by the Situ family. You are such a waste!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the sounds of fighting became even louder.

Master Ma quickly whipped the paper horse a few times to make it run faster.

Liu Bai heard something from these words. The two groups fought because a man named Gong Yangyong from Wufu Hall was provoking trouble.

The Short Knife Gang knows it, and the Meng family should know it too.

But they still fought, so this was equivalent to... an open conspiracy?
Liu Bai was speculating in his heart while Master Ma was driving his horse around the street and soon came to a messy street.

This street...is called White Tiger Street.

The Short Blade Gang’s base is here, a place called Short Blade Martial Arts Hall, which is their headquarters.

Liu Bai heard that Hu Wei was now working in the headquarters, and he was considered to have made a name for himself.

The carriage stopped in front of the short sword martial arts hall. Liu Bai jumped off the horse and looked at the scene in front of him.

There were copper nails on the red door, and two stone lions were placed at the door, with eighteen kinds of weapons placed on the left and right.

There is a sandalwood plaque hanging above his head, with the words "Short Sword Martial Arts School" written on it.

It's pretty decent.

The people guarding the gate are all ordinary gang members, and the sneaks who start the fire are not capable of doing this.

Mr. Ma came to the door with a pipe in his mouth, and one of the gatekeepers ran over to ask.

"Find Hu Wei at your back door and tell him that someone is coming to your house."

"to make."

The gatekeeper was also straightforward and turned around and left.

After a while, the doorman came out again, but he didn't call Hu Wei, but called another strange man.

"Just you guys are looking for Hu Wei."

Seeing this, Mr. Ma, who was about to knock out the ash from the cigarette, put it back into his mouth.
