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

Chapter 123 Liu Bai vs. Master Ma
I don't know how powerful this Yin-walker is, but his strength in showing off in front of others is indeed quite strong.

In the middle of the night in this old woods, with a bonfire lit, he would not even turn his head back even if there was a ghost coming from behind.

Just based on this level of concentration... Liu Bai felt that he must be capable of something.

Could he be a mountain herder?
Liu Bai stopped moving, and the man seemed to straighten his back a little. "You, the mountain king, sent this old wooden stake to kill my two disciples?"

As the man spoke, he turned his head, and Liu Bai also saw that there were two corpses placed in the corner.

Then the situation becomes a little clearer.

Regardless of whether they are staff members of the funeral temple.

In short, the two corpses passed by here and were targeted by Lao Muzhunzi, who then killed them. Then their master, the man in front of them, came over and killed Lao Muzhunzi.

After saying this, the man turned around slightly, and Liu Bai was able to see his appearance clearly.

All I can say is... it's very dirty. His face is covered with dirt, as if he has been rolling in the mud for years. Even the hair on his head is clumped together due to too much dirt. But only his eyes are vicious.

Seeing his appearance, Liu Bai suddenly thought of someone.

A person who looks very similar to Master Duan, who was thinking of selling himself to make money when we first met in the hut.

He was a mountain herder, and his attire was basically the same as the man he is now.

So, the old goats have made the wrong choice.

Found it on the mountain herder's head.

Come to think of it, they are just evil spirits, how can they distinguish so many things? How could they possibly know whether the person in front of them is from a funeral temple?
In their eyes, there are only two types of people.

One type is the Yin-walking person, and the other type is not the Yin-walking person.

Looking at him, Liu Bai thought for a moment and said bluntly: "If I say I killed the wrong person, do you believe me?"

The mountain herder seemed a little surprised after hearing what Liu Bai said.

He didn't expect that the evil spirit in front of him could actually talk to him calmly?
There are still not enough evil spirits with such high intelligence.

But he laughed a little angrily.

"If you kill the wrong person, does that not count as killing?"

"That certainly doesn't count."

Liu Bai said bluntly, then spread his hands, "So what do you want? Kill me and bury me with them?"

Liu Bai felt vaguely that he was a little excited when he said this.

Even this cold body felt a little warm because of the excitement.

Kill people!

Do it!
But after hearing this, the mountain herder immediately shook his head and said, "No, no, no, they are dead...so they are dead."

"Those who walk in the dark will eventually die from walking in the dark."

"Death is normal and inevitable."

This was not the first time that Liu Bai had seen such a cold master-disciple relationship. When he first entered the city, the relationship between Gu Yuyun and her disciples was... similar.

I would rather die than have my disciples die.

"So what are you doing?"

"I stayed here to negotiate a deal with the mountain king."

"Oh? What deal?"

Liu Bai said this, but actually he was thinking, are all these mountain herders so brave?

In this old woods, are you negotiating a deal with this evil spirit?

The mountain herder took out something from his arms, threw it into his mouth, and bit it into pieces with a "pop" sound.

"To be honest, I came from Xianshan and came to your place... hoping to find some mountain spirits to nourish my body."

"So I hope the mountain king won't try to stop me. If possible, I will definitely reward you handsomely."

When he said this, his eyes were fixed on Liu Bai without any scruples.

After listening to his description, Liu Bai understood what he was planning almost instantly.

This guy is probably not just a mountain herder, but also a...carnivore!
A carnivore like Liu Bai.

But compared to Liu Bai, he may have only mastered some of the tricks, not that many.

But he is still a carnivore. There are too many evil spirits in the area of ​​Danshan, and he can't eat them all.

Or maybe there were other reasons, but in any case, they went south and chose the virgin land of Laoshulinzi where no one had ever lived.

Just... is this possible?
This is Liu Bai's back garden, so he smiled and said: "These mountain spirits you mentioned are all my brothers and sisters, my dearest relatives and friends."

"Excuse me then."

The mountain herder stood up immediately and was very decisive.

As if he was afraid that it would be too late and would provoke Liu Bai to take action, "This old wooden stake killed two of our disciples, so we have to kill it to avenge ourselves."

"Others...even if the deal doesn't work out, I'll still be kind to you. I'll tell the Mountain King a piece of news for free. When you have time, keep an eye on Blood Food City. Something big may happen there soon."

After saying this, the man disappeared into thin air as if he had escaped into the ground.

All that was left was the rotten linen cloth he was wearing, lying there.

The other party talked about the Blood Food City. Liu Bai wanted to ask whether it was related to the Funeral Temple.

But I never expected that the other party could run so fast!

Liu Bai dodged and grabbed the rotten linen cloth that had not yet completely fallen to the ground, but even so, he still could not find any trace of the other party.

'This damned sneak killer has so many tricks up his sleeve!'

'With such a skill in escaping, it's no wonder that he dares to stay here and talk to me so slowly.'

Liu Bai thought about it and shook the rotten linen.

With a "bang", something actually fell out from inside.

"Ok?"

Xiaocao had already jumped to the ground, picked up the thing, and found that it was a small copper pumpkin.

Although it is only the size of a finger, the shape is quite delicate.

Other than that, the dress was just a plain old piece of rag, nothing special about it.

Liu Bai threw it into the fire and burned it.

"Have you seen this thing?" Liu Bai asked.

Anyway, he thought about it and realized he had never seen this thing in a book.

Xiao Cao also shook his head blankly, "Xiao Cao doesn't know, but the pumpkin you fried is better off rotting in the field."

"Get out of here." Liu Bai became furious when his dark history was brought up.

"What's up? The dishes cooked by the young master are unpalatable, and you don't allow people to say anything, humph."

Xiaocao jumped back onto Liu Bai's back and gave him the thing.

Liu Bai also took it back into Xumi. Maybe he would see it again next time and know how to use this pumpkin.

The sky was already turning pale.

Liu Bai thought about it and realized that they were already in the mountains and this was a rare opportunity. He might as well collect the mountain spirits in the old woods first.

Anyway, just like what the mountain herder said just now, he had to wait until he was away in case another carnivore came here and plundered the mountain spirits all over the mountain.

That would be a pity.

Rather than benefiting others, it is better to benefit yourself.

So... Liu Bai looked at the fire that had not yet burned out, and then looked at the two corpses.

Not long after, he left the place, and the two original bodies had been burned to ashes.

……

Early morning, Majiazhuangzi.

After traveling on the mountain road all night and nearly dying countless times, Liuzi jumped off the paper carriage that was almost burned.

His back was already covered in cold sweat, and he hurriedly pushed open the gate and rushed to Master Ma's house.

There was no lock. After I pushed the door open again, the room was filled with the familiar smell of urine and smoke.

He came under Master Ma's bed, looked down, and found that everything was fine.

Both boxes are still there.

He pulled out the box on the right which was named "Hougui'ao". The reason for this name was that this wooden box was old and its lid looked like the shell on the back of an old turtle.

At this moment, Liuzi pulled it out and opened it.

I found that there was nothing inside... no, there was a piece of white paper!
He picked it up and opened it, only to see a few lines of crooked words written on it with a soft brush. It was obvious that it was Mr. Ma's handwriting, which was why it was so ugly.

Fortunately, Liuzi still knows a few words.

There was a note on the paper: "Sixth son, I don't know when you saw this letter, but since you saw it, it must be a disaster for me.

Nothing else, just one.

Go to the city quickly to find your Junior Brother Liu and ask him to save me!!!"

After reading it, Liuzi grabbed the paper and stuffed it into his chest, cursing "shit".

Then he picked up the kettle on the table, drank a few gulps, wiped his mouth, and ran out again.

Master Ma's carriage had been burned and could not be escaped, so Liuzi had to take out his own carriage.

That is, the car that Mr. Ma originally owned was passed down to him after it was eliminated.

I went out and threw the paper horse on the ground, and it suddenly became bigger.

He jumped onto the carriage, grabbed the reins skillfully, and the carriage... set off.

……

When Liu Bai returned to Situ's house with light steps, it was already evening.

The setting sun shines on the entire Blood Food City, casting a dim and yellow hue that is extremely beautiful.

Everyone in the Situ family was a little anxious, but when they saw him, they didn't dare to say much. Only the eldest daughter Situ Rui shouted loudly.

"The master of the house is back."

So not long after, Liu Bai saw Situ Busheng, whose eyes were red with anxiety, in the hall of Situ's house.

But he didn't dare to say anything. He just looked at Liu Bai, who was safe and sound, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Next time if I leave with notice in advance, then it will be fine and I won't have to go through so much trouble to look for him."

As Liu Bai was speaking, he heard a woman's shout from outside. "Get out!"

"If you try to stop me again, I'll chop you down with my sword."

Then Liu Bai saw Zhong Erhong who was equally anxious. She looked not much different from Situ Busheng.

In fact, this was indeed the case. During that day and night, the two of them almost searched the entire Blood Food City.

The person got lost in the City Lord's Mansion, so the City Lord's Mansion gave face and even sent people to help find him.

In the end, the person was not found, but a lot of other evil spirits were uncovered.

For example, the Haier Gang, and for example...Wufutang.

"It's okay, as long as everyone is fine."

"Next time if you encounter any problems, remember to tell Sister Hong in time."

Zhong Erhong is decisive and swift; he comes quickly and leaves quickly.

"Okay, call all the people back. It's enough as long as the head of the family is back." Situ Busheng waved his hand. He was exhausted after the whole night's trouble.

The physical fatigue is not a big deal, it’s mainly the mental fatigue, I was really scared.

The master of the house came back and the food was quickly served from the kitchen.

Although there were many corpses of mountain spirits in Liu Bai Xumi, he did not dare to take them out.

Firstly, it is hard to explain, and secondly, there is not enough for me to eat, let alone give to others.

But halfway through dinner, a maid suddenly came over. She hesitated for a moment, but finally came to Situ Busheng and whispered a few words in his ear.

After listening to this, Situ Busheng glanced at Liu Bai who was eating, then turned and left.

After a while, he came over hurriedly again and called Liu Bai away.

"What? My senior brother?"

Liu Bai’s first reaction was Hu Wei, because he was his only senior brother in the city.

But at the last moment, when he saw Liuzi slumped in a chair next door, trembling all over, he panicked and took a step forward.

"Sixth Brother, what happened? Why are you here?"

Although Liuzi is the eldest senior brother, Liu Bai habitually followed Hu Wei and called him that.

Seeing Liu Bai, Liuzi's anxious heart finally relaxed a little, and he wanted to get up again.

Liu Bai pressed his legs with both hands and he couldn't move.

Liuzi also knew that the situation was urgent, so he immediately said, "Remember the incident when we entered the city earlier when we met the new and old mountain gods of Mudong Town?"

"remember."

Liu Bai naturally remembered it, because afterwards, just a few days ago, the City God came to him to ask about the situation.

It was said that something happened to the old mountain god and he died.

"Master Ma and I went to the mountain to worship the new mountain god yesterday. Then the new mountain god knew that we sent the old mountain god into the city."

"The new mountain god turned hostile on the spot. Master Ma bargained for me to be sent out and asked me to come to you for help, while he stayed there."

As he spoke, Liuzi took out the wrinkled, sweat-soaked piece of letter paper from his chest.

Liu Bai took a look and recognized the handwriting.

Then he turned and looked at Situ Busheng.

The latter immediately said: "I'll go save people."

"No, I'll go."

It's already night time. It's not safe for Situ Busheng to go into the mountains alone. Secondly... it's too slow.

By the time he finds the place, it might be tomorrow morning.

Maybe the daylily has gone cold.

Saving lives is a matter of life and death. If I had gone there a stick of incense earlier, maybe Mr. Ma would have survived.

Seeing that Situ Busheng still wanted to persuade him, Liu Bai had already made the final decision.

"I have my own way, don't worry about me."

"Just take good care of my brother for me."

Situ Busheng knew that Liu Bai's background was not simple, so he stopped trying to persuade him. "Okay, do you need me to help you prepare anything?"

"Just shout for me to open the city gate and take me out of the city."

"it is good."

As he spoke, Situ Busheng called Situ Yue over again and asked her to make arrangements and take good care of Liuzi.

Then the two of them set off in the luxurious carriage of the head of the Situ family and arrived at the west gate of the city.

Situ Busheng said a few words, and the gatekeeper quickly opened the city gate.

Liu Bai had agreed in advance to send the carriage here. Situ Busheng stayed at the city gate and watched the carriage disappear on the official road ahead.

The carriage knew the way, and after driving along the official road for about a cup of tea, Liu Bai could no longer bear it.

He put away the carriage, took a step forward, and his figure suddenly changed from a human child to a tall evil spirit.

He spread out his bone wings with a huge wingspan and flapped them violently, stirring up dense dust as he stepped into the sky.

……

"Snapped--"

Another rat tail stretched out from behind the temple and whipped the turtle shell.

At that time, the turtle shell was already covered with scars and seemed to be on the verge of collapse... but it was also on the verge of collapse.

It seems to be in a state of collapse.

But fortunately, the mountain god finally saw hope.

"Ma, wait, old dog! Once this mountain god opens your turtle shell, you're done."

The voice of Master Ma came from the turtle shell. The voice was muffled inside the shell, making a buzzing sound.

"Play? Sorry, I'm too big, I'm afraid I'll kill you little mouse."

There was silence in the temple for a moment, and then the sharp cry of the mountain god was heard.

The rat's tail stretched out again, like a thick flesh whip, lashing again and again.

Master Ma said nothing, but endured everything silently.

At the same time, I am also waiting, waiting for the hope to arrive... Arrived?!

No, why the hell is this evil spirit coming here?
In just a blink of an eye, Master Ma felt an evil aura approaching madly, and it was immediately nearby.

Stopped at this door.

stopped.

The mountain god's tail also quickly retracted.

Master Ma also felt it clearly. The person coming was a ghost-like evil spirit. What was going on?

Immediately afterwards, there was a loud "bang".

The wooden door, which was already fragile, was kicked open and shattered, almost knocking over the altar.

If a ghost person did this, it would be a great disrespect to the righteous gods.

The righteous gods can use their methods to influence it.

But the one coming now is an evil spirit... The mountain god spoke with a forced smile.

"I don't know, I don't know how I have offended this...this Lord Ghost King?"

Master Ma had no idea of ​​the situation and didn't dare to show his head, so he could only shrink his body tightly inside the turtle shell.

Liu Bai only took a glance out of the corner of his eye and knew the situation: Master Ma was still alive.

Then he would be more relieved.

"No need to test me. I came down from Mount Xian. As for the reason... one of my men disappeared near you."

Liu Bai said this very seriously.

The mountain god naturally replied quickly: "I don't know who it is? I am temporarily staying in Xiaolianzi Mountain. I can help Lord Ghost King find... find..."

Before he could finish his words, he found that his golden body had been entangled by a black shadow.

Then, he looked up again and found that the Lord Ghost King actually had one foot on his head.

It lowered its head slightly, staring at him with its scarlet eyes.

Liu Bai casually threw the corpse of a pheasant spirit aside, then pointed and said, "Look, it's really here with you. You killed my men, so... you have to die!"

Before the mountain god could speak again, the dark ghost shadow suddenly stretched and opened wide.

While wrapping up the golden body, the rat demon also lost its divine power, and Liu Bai stepped down hard.

The brain is broken into pieces.

As soon as the rat demon died, the golden body of the incense immediately disintegrated and turned into wisps of incense that dissipated in the air.

Unfortunately, no golden body fragments fell.

This was also what he had seen in a book, which said that after killing some gods, fragments of golden bodies would fall off.

And this thing is a rare treasure for mountain spirits and evil spirits.

Perhaps the strength of this mountain god is still too weak. Come to think of it, the mountain god who can't even withstand one attack from me... actually beat Master Ma into a coward.

Liu Bai looked at the turtle shell huddled in the corner.

Suddenly, my heart moved.

I have long wanted to compete with Master Ma, but I don't know how much power I, with my fourth-level ghost body, can put out with one punch compared to Master Ma's?
This is a rare opportunity now...just do it.

Liu Bai took a step forward, then stepped down again, crushing the turtle shell into pieces.

The curled-up figure of Master Ma was revealed.

When the latter saw the familiar figure, he thought that it was the person sent by Empress Liu to save him. Just as he was about to speak, he saw the evil spirit's face full of murderous intent.

Then he grabbed my collar and lifted me up.

He grinned, revealing a mouth full of sharp teeth.

"You are the only one called Ma Laosan?!"
