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

Chapter 120 Left Hand Right Foot, Five Servant Merits

"Is this thing very harmful?"

On the way back, Liu Bai asked curiously.

After asking, I thought about it again and realized that I had not found any description of the corpse pit in the books I had read.

"It's huge. This thing is about the same size as the old puddle, or even more difficult to deal with."

"If we leave it here and don't solve the problem, this place will soon become a den of evil spirits. Not only will it breed many evil spirits, but it will also attract other things."

"For example, we... oh no, the evil spirit that Master-sama got rid of today."

Ding Rui said as he walked.

"Then can't we just destroy it?"

After all, if it is buried back, it will still be a hidden danger, and no one knows when it will be dug out again.

Ding Rui obviously knew some of the details of the corpse pit, so he explained:
"If we want to destroy the corpse pit, we can only use the life fire. Considering the scale of this pit of a hundred people, if Sister Hong and Patriarch Situ were to burn it here..."

Ding Rui estimated the time and said, "It will take at least a month to burn it all, and it will have to be burned continuously."

"So difficult?" Liu Bai was a little surprised.

If I have a fever for a month, my shoulders will probably become numb and my legs will cramp.

But if it were someone else, even if he was a Yin-nourishing God, the fever would last for a month... the person would probably be burned to death.

"Well, as for corpse pits, it's fine if they don't take shape. But once they do, they can basically only be buried."

As the two were talking, they had already crossed the wooden bridge and left the mudflat.

Behind him, Sister Hong and Situ Busheng also started to take action.

Liu Bai didn't rush to leave, but stopped here to look.

Although the distance was far, for him, a ghost whose spirit body was burned, he could see it clearly.

The first person to take action was Sister Hong Zhong Erhong. She was seen shaking off a bunch of mud figures from her waist.

After the little man landed, he consciously walked towards the mud next to him.

It was very fast and it reached the mud in the blink of an eye. Then it rolled three or two times, and its body swelled countless times, and it changed from a small mud man to a big mud man.

They dragged their bloated bodies onto the wooden board, shook it a few times, and all the mud on their bodies fell off.

In less than a moment, a pile of soil had formed on top of the wooden board.

Situ Busheng stomped his foot lightly, and the wooden board under his feet broke, and one side stood up in front of the pile of earth.

If Liu Bai didn’t understand what this pile of earth was used for before.

Now he understood it at a glance.

grave.

Situ Busheng and Zhong Erhong built a grave for them on top of the pit of hundreds of corpses.

After the tomb was formed, Zhong Erhong used her fingers to touch something, as if she was writing words on the tombstone.

Situ Busheng walked into the next room and came out after a while.

But compared to before, he now had an extra stack of paper money in his hand.

Zhong Erhong erected the tombstone, Situ Busheng placed some paper money on the grave, and then the two of them suddenly lit the fire of life.

The two Yin-nourishing gods and Yin-walking people ignited the life fire at this point. Even though they were very far away, Liu Bai could still feel the heat wave coming towards him.

Seeing this, Ding Rui, who was hugging his arms, couldn't help but sigh: "I don't know if I will have the chance to burn out a Yin God in this lifetime."

Liu Bai ignored it and just watched carefully with Xiaocao.

After all, these things are all experience. What you see is what you learn, and what you learn is what you earn.

After the two Yin-nourishing gods lit the life fire, Situ Busheng used the life fire to light the paper money.

Zhong Erhong took out three ethereal white candles, also lit with the life fire, and placed them in front of the grave. The flickering flames turned a dark blue.

In just a breath, Liu Bai squinted his eyes and saw countless dense footprints appearing on the originally dry wooden bridge.

All the footprints are only the size of a palm.

It was as if a child was stepping on it, but no ghost could be seen. Even though Liu Bai had already lit up the spirit body, it was still invisible.

Zhong Erhong and Situ Busheng each took a few steps back. After Situ Busheng lit the paper money, he did not throw it away but just held it in his hand.

Surprisingly, the paper money continued to burn in his hands, but it did not decrease.

Ding Rui explained, "They are now negotiating terms with the ghosts in the Hundred Corpse Pit, asking them whether they want to make peace or fight."

"If we play along, they will eat the candles that Sister Hong just lit. If we fight, Patriarch Situ will throw out the paper money in his hand."

Liu Bai squinted his eyes and found that the three candles with blue flames were getting shorter at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The candle burned quickly.

"Now, those ghosts should be making peace and willing to be buried." Liu Bai muttered.

"Yes, but Sister Hong must have discussed other conditions as well."

"For example, every year during the Qingming Festival, we have to come here to pay tribute, and the three animals and other things are definitely indispensable."

"That's all fine then."

While the two were talking, the three white candles lit by Sister Hong burned out, but the little ghosts were still watching and had not left.

Situ Busheng didn't say much, but two pieces of paper money suddenly fell from his hand.

The almost unburnable paper money in his hand turned into ashes the moment it hit the ground, but the fire spread in all directions.

The little ghosts were also frightened and retreated again and again.

Sister Hong spoke slowly, "Since you are willing to negotiate, then let's talk nicely. If not... I can't destroy the corpse pit, but I am more than capable of chopping you down."

As her voice fell, the little ghosts retreated one after another, and finally all returned to the mud underground.

Liu Bai couldn't see clearly what was happening in the corpse pit below, but he could see from afar that the entire area seemed to be filled with a negative energy.

The house was destroyed, broken into pieces, and finally all collapsed into the mud, turning into ruins.

But such a loud noise did not damage the grave soil at all.

Not only that, the grave soil even fell steadily right above the pit of hundreds of corpses.

Ding Rui looked at it and shook his head. "The grave soil from the Hundred Corpse Pit is really a good thing. I think we can sell it for blood beads."

"Just take it if you can."

In just a few steps, Situ Busheng had already arrived beside the two of them.

Ding Rui smiled and replied: "I don't have the ability to lead sheep, so I can't eat this bowl of rice."

Sheep leader...

When Liu Bai heard this name, he thought of another book, a book called "Notes from the Silent Cottage".

Basically, there was a person who wrote down his notes at a place called "Buyu Caotang".

What is recorded in it are the many trades, big and small, in this world.

For example, the sheep-leader mentioned by Ding Rui is also recorded in this notebook.

"The person who leads the sheep is called Beibao in the south and Xiangling in the north. In the folk, he is often called Qianyang, or 'sheep boy'.

Proficient in Feng Shui and divination, stepping on the dragon's mouth, specializing in searching for many filthy and rare treasures in the world."

In the sheep-leading business, they divide the ups and downs of the land veins into eight trends, namely powerful, thick, clear, ancient, lonely, thin, evil and vulgar.

Wei, Hou, Qing and Gu are the four outstanding places, which have many rare treasures and are called red sheep. Gu, Bo, E and Su are the four ugly places, which have few rare treasures and are called black sheep.

A place like this hundred corpse pit is a taboo place for other professions.

But for these shepherds, hey, this place is a top-notch place where they can catch red sheep.

In addition, there are many other details. Liu Bai also spent the longest time reading that book, and it is still in his Xumi.

"Okay, your sister Hong still needs to learn Kung Fu, you just wait here."

After saying that, he took Liu Bai and left the place.

Liu Bai's clothes were soaked by the mud, so he first found a shop in the ferry and changed into clean clothes. Then he followed the path to the Short Knife Gang's resting place.

When we got here, Hu Wei and Gongsun Shi were indeed there.

No one is hurt, but I guess he was hit by the evil spirit and the negative energy of the Pit of Hundred Corpses. I guess he needs to go back and recuperate for a while.

Hu Wei was very grateful to his junior brother Liu who came from afar to rescue him.

But my heart is quite bitter.

I am a really incompetent senior brother. It would be fine if I couldn't help my junior brother, but I always find things to do for him and ask him to save me. What kind of thing is that?

Finally, Liu Bai asked Gongsun Shi to take Hu Wei back with him.

As for him, since Situ Busheng was here, he had to take a look at his own property.

The biggest industry of this red-light house is naturally flowers and plants.

So when Liu Bai came to the entrance of the red-light house and looked at the red-sleeved women all over the building and the ragged beauties in the shadows in the hall, he felt a little embarrassed.

No matter in past or present life, I have never been to such a place.

As for the grass, it also stood on Liu Bai's shoulder, stared with eyes wide open, and looked hard... Even though the grass has lived for a long time, it has actually never been to this place.

But after it reacted, it immediately said, "Okay, okay, you old man Situ actually brought my son to a place like this. Let me see how I will tell the queen when I go back."

Situ Busheng laughed and said, "Just passing by, just passing by."

At this moment, a man suddenly walked out of the red light house. As soon as he walked out, he loosened his belt and stretched. It was obvious that he slept very comfortably here last night.

But when he lowered his head and looked at the child in front of him, he wiped his eyes and said, "It's... it's you?! Brother kid!"

Liu Bai didn't expect to meet Xiong Dayou here again.

When I first went to the Short Knife Gang to look for Hu Wei, this guy played a big joke on me at the entrance of the headquarters.

And now, when he saw Liu Bai here, he was obviously very surprised, and just like Gongsun Shi did at that time, he called him "Little kid, brother".

"Why are you here?"

Something happened with the Short Knife Gang here, and then Xiong Dayou was actually playing with flowers and plants here. Liu Bai felt that something was not right.

"Ah? Me."

Xiong Dayou scratched his head and said, "I took a leave of absence these two days and came here to visit relatives."

"It turns out that your relative works in this red-light house." Situ Busheng laughed when he heard this.

Xiong Dayou didn't recognize that this was the ancestor of the Situ family, and rolled his eyes, "My relative went to Qingshan City without informing me in advance, so I have no place to stay, so I can only come here to rest for a night."

It was just an accidental encounter, and after a few words, Liu Bai was led by Situ Busheng through the red-light house filled with fragrance and went to the backyard.

Xiong Dayou also walked along the street for a while, and finally turned into a yard. Here, someone was already waiting.

There is a big maple tree planted in the small yard.

It seems that the maple tree came first and the yard came later, so when Xiong Dayou walked into the yard, it was like stepping on a yellow carpet.

He closed the gate carefully, then turned and looked under the maple tree.

His two "superiors" were already waiting here.

They sat cross-legged, still carrying the long wooden box behind them, one on the left and one on the right, which looked very strange.

And now, Xiong Dayou already knows their real names.

It's called "left leg right hand".

The one with the rope on the left is called the left leg, and the one with the rope on the right is called the right hand.

After coming in, Xiong Dayou came up to the two of them, bowed deeply, and then stood up and stood aside.

Left Leg said, "Your Short Knife Gang's mission was accomplished, but not completely."

"Situ Busheng and Zhong Erhong are here. The corpse pit you dug has been buried back by them."

Xiong Dayou was delighted when he heard this and said, "I never thought that a mere gang member like me would be able to make two ancestors run around one day. It's really interesting."

The left leg and right hand, which had been expressionless, looked at each other and said, "For him, it seems to be true."

"It's just like the last time we asked the Wei State to run around."

After saying this, they both laughed and were very happy. This was really an interesting thing.

The three of them were laughing. After they finished laughing, Xiong Dayou continued, "Then this Hundred Corpse Pit was buried too quickly...what should we do?"

"It's okay. This is a place we tried in the first place. Now that we have seen the effect, that's enough."

"Next, we can go to the city and find a family to stab first." It was still the left foot that spoke.

After he said this, his right hand, which had been silent all this time, finally spoke.

"So which one should we go to this time?"

His voice was shrill, not at all like a man's, but not like a woman's either.

It was like a man deliberately lowering his voice and speaking in a woman's accent.

"Let's go find our Short Knife Gang." Xiong Dayou said quickly, "I'm familiar with the Short Knife Gang. I can lead the way for you two adults..."

Xiong Dayou found it interesting when he thought about being a traitor and leading others to attack the Short Knife Gang.

Thinking about it again, he felt that he was really becoming more and more suitable for this funeral temple!
He spoke, but his left foot and right hand ignored him.

They looked at each other, and Zuo Jiao suddenly said, "How about the Red Lantern Festival? I'm quite interested in that kid today."

"I knew you knew what I was thinking." Youshou smiled, seeming a little...shy?
Xiong Dayou added, "That's fine too. Red Lantern House is also fine."

"Let's go then."

Finally, the left foot and right hand stood up at the same time.

The moment his right hand rose, his feet appeared from under the black robe, and a pair of red embroidered shoes flashed by.

Zuo Jiao asked casually, "Do you remember how the word 'blood food' in Blood Food City came about?"

……

Liu Bai walked out of the red-light house at Maple Leaf Ferry with some disinterest.

He originally thought that there was some good business in the Red Light House, but he never expected that it was just like that, some salt and some wine, and other than that, there was a small sealed room with some smuggled goods that could be used by swindlers.

"My Lord, you don't know that whether it is our Red Lantern House or the other few houses, there are actually more ordinary people and very few ghost people."

"So these mortal occupations are always necessary."

As Situ Busheng explained, he also took out a paper carriage for traveling.

The coachman of the carriage was temporarily called from the Red Light House. Liu Bai and his companion sat in the carriage, swaying as they hurried on.

Just about half an hour later, the carriage suddenly stopped, waking up the drowsy Liu Bai.

"Ok?"

"There's a roadblock." Situ Busheng said with narrowed eyes.

Soon a voice was heard outside the carriage, "People from the Red Lantern Festival please move aside. We are the Great Gong traveling, and everyone else needs to make way."

"What is a great achievement?" Xiao Cao asked.

Situ Busheng explained: "It's just the name of Wufutang. There are five levels: Zhansui, Qisui, Dagong, Xiaogong, and Jiema. Dagong refers to a person who has gathered one or two of the five qi and walked in the Yin."

Upon hearing this, Xiaocao, who was originally very fresh, pouted and retracted his head, "It's boring. I thought you were so powerful, Xiaocao."

"It's not even as powerful as my master's little finger."

Liu Bai automatically ignored Xiao Cao's words, "Are the people in Wufu Hall all so overbearing?"

"That's about right. With the protection of the City Lord's Mansion, there are no taboos now." Situ Busheng also sighed.

After hearing this, Liu Bai also leaned his head out to take a look. Unlike the paper carriage, the Wufutang carriage was made of wood, black wood at that, and it looked very majestic.

If he didn't know, Liu Bai would really think so.

But now after hearing what Situ Busheng said, Liu Bai felt...isn't this simply showing off in front of others?

"Sir, this?"

The coachman didn't know what to do.

Situ Busheng also looked at Liu Bai and said with a smile: "Listen to the master of the family. We will do whatever the master of the family says."

"Oh, then kill him."

Liu Bai was even more direct. What kind of person is he? He dares to act like a fool in front of him?!

And the main thing is... he also wanted to test the strength of the Wufu Hall.

When Situ Busheng heard this, his expression did not change at all. After all, it was his own young master who spoke.

Then just obey.

What he didn't expect was that Liu Bai had already taken action as soon as he lifted the curtain of the carriage.

A thick rocket shot out from beside him and exploded on the carriage opposite.

In just a moment, the originally intact carriage broke into pieces and fell to the ground, turning into a wooden carriage only the size of a palm.

It was obviously the work of the woodcarver.

Without the carriage, the people inside also fell to the ground.

The first one was a coachman, and there were two people sitting in the carriage, a middle-aged man with a slightly bald head, wearing a mourning coat made of coarse linen.

In his arms was a woman in mourning clothes with a white cloth on her head.

Seeing that the carriage was no longer there to cover him, the man immediately let go. Before he could say anything, he saw Situ Busheng crawling out of the carriage in front of him.

The originally arrogant face suddenly became embarrassed, with a hint of fear.

"It was actually... it was Elder Situ who was in front of me. I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

He obviously knew Situ Busheng. After he said that, he nodded repeatedly, then lowered his head and wanted to walk away, thinking of going around.

This person can become tough quickly and timid quickly.

Unfortunately, what he didn't expect was that Situ Busheng actually grabbed his neck and lifted him up from the ground.

"It's fine if you jump outside, but this time you jumped on my face, I can't stand it."

After Situ Busheng finished speaking, this man wanted to take action first.

But in just a blink of an eye, the life fire on Situ Busheng's body ignited and extinguished, and then the ghost who had just released the red and blue energy was also ignited by the life fire.

Situ Busheng threw it on the side of the road, then glanced at the woman and the coachman, and got on the carriage.

The groom of the Red Light House hurriedly urged the horses to leave.

In the blink of an eye, they reached the corner ahead. Just when the woman and the coachman thought they had survived, they took a few steps forward and found that they were also on fire. In the blink of an eye, they were burned to ashes.

Situ Busheng was actually quite happy when he heard what Liu Bai had just said.

He was originally thinking that Liu Bai might be the indecisive and soft-hearted person.

But fortunately, it now seems that this Young Master Liu is the type who can live in this world for a long time.

The premise is of course because Lady Liu Xian is here, and secondly, it is because Liu Bai himself is also a decisive person...

"By the way, have you found out anything about Situ Rui's case?" Liu Bai asked.

"Yes." Situ Busheng nodded.

Both of them naturally forgot about the dog that blocked their way. It was just a minor incident.

"Someone also threw something dirty under her bed, which activated the evil in her, so she turned into a ghost. As for that person...it was the maid she killed."

"It's just a sip and a peck."

Situ Busheng stood up slightly and loosened his belt. "After investigating the situation, it was basically the Wufu Hall that was behind this."

"No wonder you were so enthusiastic in killing that guy from Wufutang just now." Liu Bai sat cross-legged with his legs hugged.

"Hehe, anyone can kill the people from Wufu Hall."

After this little episode, nothing else happened and the journey back to Situ's house in Xueshi City was extremely smooth.

That is until the next day.

Liu Bai did not go out again, but stayed at Situ's house to see some small gadgets from the red light house.

For example, the little red flower in front of him looks ordinary on the surface, but if you gently scratch its leaves, it will twist its body and spit out a mouthful of nectar.

As soon as the nectar hit the ground, a rich floral fragrance spread out. Situ Yue, a middle-aged woman squatting on the ground, introduced it to Liu Bai.

This thing is called "beauty's saliva". Basically, there will be a pot of it in the room of the top beauties in red-light houses.

If you touch this flower when you have nothing to do on a daily basis, the whole room will be filled with fragrance.

Most of the gadgets are actually not convenient to take out and show to others, mainly because Liu Bai is still young.

Situ Yue just took it out and showed it to Liu Bai, and was scolded for a long time by Situ Busheng.

Of course, Liu Bai also saw clearly that they were nothing more than some strange-looking little things.

He had seen many more flowers in his previous life than these.

So it's okay.

The only thing that felt a little novel to him was a flesh pillow that made a female voice when touched. He had never seen such a thing before.

Near noon, he was sitting in the yard thinking about whether he should go and check on his property in the afternoon, when he suddenly saw Situ Busheng leading an armored earth spirit over.
