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

Chapter 122 (Backup) Empress Liu, save me again!
Mr. Ma, who was almost at the door, was forced to stop. He turned around and spread his hands.

"The road is easy to walk on, but the road to Xiaolianzi Mountain...is not easy to walk on."

"I almost thought I couldn't make it."

Under the dim flickering candlelight, when Liuzi saw Master Ma turn around, he gestured with his right hand.

He said nothing, just turned around and stood behind Master Ma obediently.

“The road is difficult to walk on? How about this mountain god... give you a ride?” The statue with a rat head and a human body still leaned forward and asked with a smile on his face.

Mr. Ma chuckled, then sat down where he was, took off the old pipe from his waist, rubbed it and lit it.

"I really don't know about this matter of the mountain god."

Master Ma smoked his pipe, exhaled a puff of smoke, gestured with one hand and said loudly: "We are all relatives. The old mountain god and I are close. We meet from time to time. Our friendship is old."

"When I was waiting for the old man to go to the city, I happened to meet him again in the Wupengzi on Wupeng Mountain."

"The old mountain god didn't tell me much. He just said he was in some trouble and asked me to give him a ride and lead him into the city."

"Master Mountain God, if it were you, would you be able to refuse?"

After Master Ma finished speaking, he lowered his head and turned away, looking as aggrieved as he could be.

"Of course not."

The mountain god statue shook its head, as if in agreement.

Only then did Mr. Ma turn around slightly, and his expression looked better.

It was also the first time that Liuzi had seen Master Ma like this. His calm expression could not hide his shock. He did not dare to speak and could only look at Master Ma and... deal with him.

"So I really don't know so much. That's why I came here today to apologize to the mountain god."

As Mr. Ma spoke, he jumped up again and exhaled another puff of smoke.

"The three animals were all chopped down early this morning. The blood and food are still warm."

"Oh? So, even if I don't mention this matter, you will still tell me, Ma Lao San?"

Judging from the voice, the mountain god seemed a little surprised.

Master Ma nodded affirmatively, "Of course, I can fool anyone but I can never fool the mountain god."

"You are very sincere to me."

After hearing this, Mr. Ma's smile grew brighter, but he also exhaled more smoke.

"To the mountain god, I am definitely honest."

But at this moment, the mountain god suddenly changed his tone.

"But the person who said that there was a way to enter the city and that if there was a problem, we should go to the City God...was you, right, Ma Lao San?"

Mr. Ma still had a smile on his face... Why the hell wasn't this him?
Master Ma still remembers what he said.

But what he said in the black tent at that time was that there were only himself, Liuzi, Liu Xiaozi and the old mountain god.

How could these words reach the ears of the new mountain god? !
There must be nothing wrong with Liu Xiaozi and Liuzi, so the problem can only be with that old mountain god.

尻！
Damn, this bastard is so unreliable.

Mr. Ma was cursing like crazy in his heart, but his expression was still smiling, but not much.

Even his eyes were still cold.

Don’t light a fire in the Taoist temple, so... Master Ma lit up his spiritual body, burned perfectly, and his whole body was glowing.

The smoke around was also swirling and returned to Master Ma. The means had already been set up.

He coughed, as if to clear his throat.

"Okay, this is something that I, Ma Lao San, did that was not fair, I admit my mistake, but I have to let my disciple go."

"I'm in the wrong business and on the wrong side, that's for sure, but I'm still young. Besides, in Huangliang Town, if I'm gone, there has to be someone who can hold the place together. Otherwise, the whole town will be gone, and if this disaster comes... Master Mountain God, you probably can't bear it."

After Mr. Ma finished speaking, he picked up his cigarette again, clasped his hands across his chest, then raised his head and stared at the statue intently.

There was neither fear nor compromise in his eyes.

At this time, no matter whether you can win or not, you must not feel guilty.

The more guilty you are, the more likely the other party will take advantage of you.

The rat-headed statue looked at him, and the corners of its mouth curled up slightly, "That's the truth. If it were an ordinary ghost walker, I would just kill him, but I am a righteous god after all."

“If you exterminate all of our Huangliang Town lineage, this god will also die.”

This was the first time that Liuzi heard this statement, and he realized that being a town guard actually had to follow such rules.

Well, this can be considered a life-saving card to some extent.

After the rat-headed statue finished speaking, it raised its head slightly, and there was a "cracking" sound on its neck, and it was raised a little, but not completely.

A pair of rat eyes just stared blankly at the young man who was also smoking.

At this moment, Liuzi felt that his whole body was seen, and he dared not move at all.

I felt like I had a thorn in my back, and my legs were a little weak, but they didn't feel weak at all.

Liuzi was still very strong, so he raised his head without hesitation and looked into the eyes of the statue.

The man and the god just looked at each other like this for a moment.

Finally, the mountain god withdrew his gaze and nodded slightly, "Okay."

"Then let him go."

As the mountain god's voice fell, the door that had been tightly closed opened immediately. Outside the door, it was even darker, with only the green-maned horse paddling its hooves.

Mr. Ma took another puff of his cigarette, and then said, "If we go back now, don't take the Laoqingpo Road. Take the Hougui'ao Road instead."

Liuzi was stunned for a moment, but soon nodded and said, "Okay."

Master Ma took out the old pipe from his mouth, and Liuzi left and jumped into the carriage.

We don't want to travel at night, but there is no other way now. We have to leave now. If we don't leave now, we might die if we stay here.

Seeing that Liuzi had left, the door suddenly closed.

Inside the house...

Without saying a word, all the smoke that Mr. Ma had exhaled earlier immediately turned into a ball, surrounding him like a white cocoon.

At the back, at the four corners of the temple, four shadows of incense sticks suddenly fell, and the tiny incense sticks lit up.

In just a moment, a chain of fire shot out from the four divine incense sticks, carrying a dim light, and hit the white cocoon in the middle.

There was a soft "hum" sound.

When the white cocoon touched the fire chain, a hole was immediately burned in it.

Upon seeing this, Mr. Ma quickly put away his pipe, cursed a lot, and then took out a palm-sized turtle shell from his chest.

As he threw it to the ground, he jumped in himself.

The further the turtle shell falls to the ground, the bigger it becomes. By the time it completely hits the ground, it is the same size as a human.

Master Ma shrank his body and just managed to get in. Then he retracted his hands and feet at the same time and hid his entire body inside the turtle shell.

His movements were so familiar, as if he had practiced them countless times beforehand.

Finally, after he got in, the turtle shell rolled to the side and rested on the corner of the two walls.

Faintly, the tortoise shell seemed to transform into the shadow of a tortoise, with its four legs supporting the ground, firmly supporting its body.

Inside the temple, it became quiet.

The shadows of the four-cornered divine incense gradually dissipated, and the statue's body, which had been leaning forward, returned to normal.

Just a moment later, the voice of the mountain god was heard again in the temple.

"Your disciple Hu Wei joined the Short Knife Gang and became a gangster. Your disciple Liu Tie works in the Zhou family's paper-making business. I wonder who your eldest disciple is looking for to die?"

Master Ma, who was hiding in his tortoise shell, couldn't help but feel panicked when he heard this.

This old Deng really sees everything!
But... why didn't he mention Liu Bai? Was it because he didn't know or was there some other reason?

Besides, how could I possibly ask for those two guys for help? I would definitely look for my most beloved little disciple Liu Bai!
Although Mr. Ma was panicked, he was not very nervous.

After so many years of being a ghost, what kind of scenes have I not seen? I have been through countless life-and-death crises, big and small, and I have survived them all and am still alive today?

So... Madam Liu, please save me again, just this time, for the last time!

Inside the turtle shell, Master Ma clasped his hands together and muttered silently in his heart.

Inside the temple, the mountain god looked at the tortoise shell in the corner. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Finally, he hit the tortoise shell hard with his rat tail.

The turtle shell didn't move at all.

He... became even angrier!

Outside the temple, deep in the mountains, Liuzi was driving a horse-drawn carriage madly on the mountain road.

At this point, he finally understood why Master Ma dared to let him go back at night, because there was actually a life-threatening fire on his carriage.

Although he didn't know what means he used, this constantly burning life fire was indeed enough to support his Ma family farm.

The reason why I want to go back...

It’s because of what Master Ma said just now, don’t go to Laoqingpo, go to Houguiao.

What about Laoqingpo and Houguiao? These are not place names. They are the names that the master and his apprentice gave to the two wooden boxes under Master Ma's bed when they were bored while smoking.

Since Mr. Ma mentioned it at this time, it means that there is something in the box called "Hougui'ao" that can save his life!
It was just that it was difficult to say it in the temple at that time, so he used this euphemistic method.

Thinking of this, Liuzi urged his horse to go faster.

If I were just a little faster, Master Ma's chance of survival would increase!

……

"You can't drink any more of this!"

Liu Bai held the osmanthus honey water in his hand and looked at Sister Hong, whose pretty face was flushed because of drinking.

As for him... he was already sitting on Sister Hong's lap. Liu Bai didn't know why Sister Hong liked him so much. Maybe it was because he was old and liked children more?

But he didn't dare to say that Sister Hong was old, he could only say that her age was just right.

And now, everyone else was chatting with their own ulterior motives, except for the two of them. Liu Bai drank a sip of honey water while she drank a glass of wine.

The two of them drank happily.

Liu Bai also realized that Sister Hong's legs looked strong, but they didn't have much muscle and were still soft when pinched.

As he was drinking, Liu Bai suddenly felt a chill on his back.

Got it!

He’s going to turn into a ghost again!

And it happened at this place, which was really not the right time.

Sister Hong, who was sitting behind him, naturally noticed his abnormality and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?"

Liu Bai's face turned red. "I drank too much water. I need to go to the bathroom."

"Just pee, why are you embarrassed to say it!" Sister Hong smiled and waved her hand, "Gongsun Shi, send the young monk away."

Gongsun Shi, who was sitting there bored, stood up immediately after hearing this and said, "Come on, kid, I'll take you there."

Seeing that both of them had left the house, the smile on Sister Hong's face gradually faded.

Then he leaned back and placed his long legs, which were numb from being bent together to serve as a cushion for Liu Bai, on the small square table in front of him.

Suddenly, it seemed as if there was only this large expanse of white in the room.

She didn't care about other people's eyes, and then... pointed at the head of the Wufu Hall, Mei Yan, and cursed:

"If you have the guts, then draw a scene and we'll have a fight, life or death!"

"If you don't dare, stop talking nonsense here."

"If you use that dirty trick again next time, don't blame me for chopping you with a knife."

"What the hell."

The room suddenly became quiet, and even the Blood Food City Lord Zhuang Yingcheng was speechless.

at the same time.

In Huangliang Town, in the basement of the Liu family, in front of the table, a female ghost who was not wearing human skin and was covered in blood, was sitting on a wooden chair, leaning on the table, and gently holding her head with one hand.

The posture is very leisurely.

It can be as comfortable as you want.

And right in front of her, a mirror that seemed to be made of blood appeared, with the picture in it flashing. The content inside was the scene of Liu Bai sitting on Zhong Erhong's lap and drinking honey water.

She watched this scene without getting angry, and even muttered to herself.

"This girl."

But soon, the scene shifted to the outside of the door along with Liu Bai's figure.

……

Liu Bai didn't know that when he got out of the door, he just wanted to run faster. If he didn't run faster, he would be too late.

What if he turned into a ghost in the City Lord's Mansion? He didn't know if he could withstand the power of Yang Yang God?
"Little brother, why are you running so fast?"

"No, you have gathered the five energies, but you can't even hold your urine." Gongsun Shi followed closely, then pointed to the right and said, "The toilet in the City Lord's Mansion is over here!"

Liu Bai didn't care. He jumped out of the wall and shouted, "I have something urgent to do. Tell them. I'm leaving first."

Gongsun Shi, who was originally planning to follow, stopped immediately and looked at the child who had disappeared outside the wall, feeling a little surprised.

What is this?

He sent him out once, but he still ran away... Considering Liu Bai's status and position, he felt that he couldn't bear this disaster by himself.

He couldn't resist it either.

Just as he turned around and was about to walk towards the hall, he suddenly saw an evil aura rising from the north, still in the city.

Gone in a flash!
This... there is such a vicious evil spirit in this city? !
The big rooster on Gongsun Shi’s shoulder didn’t dare to crow anymore and was trembling with fear. He immediately thought of Liu Bai.

Fortunately... the kid just went to the east, and the evil spirit is in the north.

There was no need for him to shout now, because everyone in the hall had already come out. Gongsun Shi hurriedly went to greet them, but he did not see the city lord.

Liu Bai in mid-air looked back at the figure of the city lord.

Fortunately, even if you raise the Yang God, you won’t be able to fly.

It was just that it was faster and jumped higher. After it jumped twice in a row and failed to catch me, the city lord Zhuang Yingcheng gave up chasing me.

Instead, he stopped on the northern city wall, and under the dim moonlight, he watched Liu Bai's figure disappear into the darkness, disappear into the vast mountains in the north, and disappear above the old woods.

Liu Bai also noticed it.

This time I turned into a ghost in the city, and only the city lord was close enough to notice it.

But the City God who was patrolling the entire city didn't react at all. Could it be that he was scared by the kick he received last time?

This is unlikely.

And even if it is true, the city lord is here this time, so he should not dare to show up.

"Sir, you can fly, no one can stop you, why don't we go and massacre the city!"

Xiao Cao came out from the cloak behind Liu Bai, showing his little head, and then he counted on his fingers and said:
"You have feelings for this Blood Food City and are reluctant to leave it, so why don't we go to Qingshan City in the north?"

Liu Bai flapped his wings again and couldn't help but look back at the grass with wide eyes, which seemed to be very expectant.

"Did Qingshan City provoke you?"

"No ah."

"No, why are you so obsessed with the massacre? You have such a strong murderous nature, aren't you afraid that you will lead me astray?"

As Liu Bai spoke, he looked at the mountain below his feet, then slowly folded his wings and landed.

It’s not because the mountain is high, but because he saw a somewhat familiar figure hurrying on the road, and he had already reached the top of the mountain.

As his figure fell from the air, that thing also let out a loud cry.

"King!!!"

Then he raised the crutches in his hand, knelt down and shouted.

Liu Bai, who had landed on the treetop, jumped down again and came to the ground. Looking at the kneeling goat head in front of him, he asked, "Where are you going in such a hurry?"

"I'm going to find you, my king. Something big has happened."

"Find me?"

"What's the big deal?"

"My king, didn't you ask us to keep an eye on that narrow path to see if there are any sneaky people like last time? We watched it this time and there are more!"

The old goat held his crutch, straightened his back, and spoke in a startled voice.

"Ok?"

Liu Bai then remembered that when he left the old woods last time, he did mention it to them and asked them to keep an eye on whether anyone from the funeral temple passed by there.

So now they have found me?

"You came from the goat trail? It's been so long now, the man must have run away long ago, right?" Liu Bai said as he determined the direction. He wanted to go over and take a look.

"Uh……"

The old goat seemed to be a bit slow in thinking. He thought for a while before saying, "The old stake is watching over there. If he can't keep an eye on it anymore, he'll kill it first!"

Listening to its decisive words, Liu Bai's mouth twitched slightly, "Okay, I'll go take a look first."

After saying that, Liu Bai flapped his wings and flew away in an instant.

The old goat then stood up, but at the last moment, he remembered something and shouted, "My king, please give me a ride!"

It only takes a short while to hitchhike with the king, but it would take one or two days to walk back by yourself!

Unfortunately, the king did not hear his call and had already left.

The old goat had no choice but to lie down on the ground, and immediately the old goat really turned into an old goat.

The crutch in its hand turned into a wooden ring around its neck.

I guess this old goat was also raised by someone else in the early years.

About an hour later, Liu Bai, who had been searching for a long time, finally found the narrow path.

It is said to be a narrow path, but in fact it is just a narrow strip of sky sandwiched between cliffs on both sides.

A narrow path was formed by cutting it in the middle in the ravine.

He circled a few times above the mountain and felt something was wrong. He didn't sense the old wooden stake's aura, but he always had an indescribable feeling.

There's no way, you can't tell by looking.

He had no choice but to slowly fold his wings and fall from the sky into this narrow gap in the sky.

The sky was still dark, but there was a bright spot of light in the sky.

Because someone built a bonfire here.

There was also a man wrapped in old sackcloth sitting next to the campfire. He was tall and had his back to Liu Bai, seemingly fiddling with the campfire.

They are so close now, and Liu Bai is also an evil spirit at the level of a ghost.

This person...can't possibly not feel it.

So Liu Bai walked closer, and this time he could see clearly that the firewood in the campfire was the body of the old wooden stake.

This man killed Lao Muzhuizi.
