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

Chapter 124 Cursed Killing
"scare?!!"

At first, Mr. Ma even thought he had heard it wrong.

Because he had seen the evil creature in front of him!
At that time, when he was severely injured by the old wolf and his career as a ghost was almost over, it was this evil spirit that came to save him.

It also set the cloth on fire and threw it under its bed to get rid of the evil spirit.

Later, Master Ma also asked Liuzi and learned that it was he who went to the Liu family yard and told Empress Liu about this matter.

Then... this evil spirit came to save himself.

This time, he suffered a disaster and asked Liuzi to ask Liu Bai for help, so the evil spirit came again.

Is there any need to talk about this situation?

This evil spirit must be raised by the Liu family, so it means they are one of us... Oh no, it’s their own ghost!
But what's going on now?

This murderous intent even asked himself if he was Ma Laosan?

Mr. Ma was stunned for a moment.

This is not a fight, because we cannot win.

Not taking action... that wouldn't be right, after all, this evil spirit has said so much.

So Master Ma, in a rage, immediately ignited the fire of life.

After all, the mountain god is gone, so there is naturally no rule that fire cannot be lit in the temple of a righteous god.

Then he lit up his life fire, revealed his spirit body, and punched hard, as if he wanted to open the ghost hand that was grabbing his collar.

But when this punch came down... not only did the ghost hand not move at all, but it also caused his hand to hurt.

This?
Fight your ass.

Liu Bai looked at this scene and realized that even though Master Ma had tried his best, he could only tickle him.

I no longer have the mood to gesture.

He was afraid that if he just punched him, Master Ma... would die.

So Liu Bai threw it on the ground and said viciously: "Next time you see me, remember to call me master!"

When Mr. Ma heard this, he immediately understood.

This is indeed a ghost of mine!

What I did just now was probably just a joke... most likely.

Is this the evil spirit's way of showing its closeness?
After all, Master Ma has never been a ghost, so he doesn't know what kind of ghost's mind or thoughts are.

But since the evil spirit in front of me said so, I naturally have to do it.

No matter what, this is an evil spirit that saved my life twice. I won’t suffer any loss by calling him master.

So Master Ma stood up and said repeatedly: "Okay, Master. Okay, Master."

Liu Bai looked at this scene and felt very satisfied. He wanted to laugh, but he didn't dare to laugh for fear of ruining his performance.

He didn't say anything else and walked out the door in one step.

At the end, Master Ma in the temple behind was still shouting, "Goodbye, Master."

"Come to my house when you have time. You were here last time. You know where my house is."

Liu Bai felt that if he continued to listen to him shouting, his life would be shortened, so he quickly flapped his bone wings and flew away.

Just watched it go away.

But not far.

Because this mountain god... is weird!
Or to be more precise, it has a background. It came from afar and stole the throne of the mountain god of Xiaolianzi Mountain. There must be some reason for it.

Liu Bai is not the only one who knows this, Master Ma is also aware of it.

So when he saw the "master" leave, he immediately restrained his expression. However, before such a big event, he still did not forget to light up his old pipe. He took a long puff and then began to search the temple.

Liu Bai was watching from a distant hilltop. He certainly didn't have as much experience as Master Ma when it came to searching.

So he just watched Master Ma search the mountain temple for a while, and then Old Deng put on a piece of cloth he had taken out of the temple and went down the mountain.

He didn't light the life fire either. Logically speaking, it was not appropriate for a living person to walk in this old woods at night.

He should be very popular with those evil spirits, but at this moment, when they saw this dark Master Ma, they all retreated.

Liu Bai guessed that it was because of the banner that Master Ma was wearing.

He was afraid that Master Ma would be killed, so he just watched from afar until he saw him come to a fork in the mountain road. Then he threw away the divine banner on his body and suddenly lit the life fire.

While blasting away those lurking evil spirits, he strode towards the mountain path on the right.

Just when Liu Bai thought he was going to leave, he saw his footsteps gradually become lighter, then he jumped up and went to the mountain path on the left among the treetops.

Seeing this, Liu Bai knew that Master Ma was able to live a long life and was indeed capable of doing so.

After walking a long way, I saw that the sky was almost turning pale.

Seeing that the situation was right, Liu Bai got into the luxurious carriage and squeezed through the narrow mountain road.

When Mr. Ma first saw the commotion, he was frightened.

But when he saw that the person in the carriage was Liu Bai, his eyes widened again, "You kid? Oh my goodness, what did you do in the city? Did you rob three families?"

"Can you afford this carriage?"

Master Ma seemed to have forgotten what happened to him in the mountain temple. He came to the carriage, touched it up and down, and finally jumped onto the carriage and grabbed the reins.

"You don't even know how to use a carriage."

Master Ma looked very distressed, and then he touched something, and the originally large carriage immediately became much smaller. Even the style of the horses changed a little, becoming more suitable for running in the mountains and forests.

Liu Bai was also a little surprised when he saw it... Is this paper carriage so high-end?

"No, I just joined the Red Lantern Festival." Liu Bai said casually, and then without waiting for Master Ma to ask again, he got down to business, "Sixth Senior Brother came to me and said that something happened to you at the Mudong Mountain Temple. What about now?"

When Master Ma heard this, he looked at Liu Bai meaningfully, then smiled and said, "It's okay, I was saved by you."

He naturally didn't know that the "master" he was referring to was Liu Bai, he only knew that the "master" was also from the Liu family.

After hearing this, Liu Bai suddenly realized, "Oh, it turned out to be him, then everything is fine."

Master Ma thought to himself, “As expected.”

It’s just that the previous master was cold and arrogant, and there were many things that could not be communicated, so Master Ma could only look at Liu Bai now.

However, in his opinion, it would be more accurate to say that he was communicating with Empress Liu behind Liu Bai rather than communicating with Liu Bai.

So he drove the carriage towards the city while saying, "Boy, this mountain god is quite strange."

"How to say?"

Liu Bai pricked up his ears.

Master Ma held a pipe in his mouth and said, "Yesterday, when I was being beaten... ahem, when I was dealing with the mountain god, I heard it say a few words in a rage."

"It said that when they turn Blood Eater City into a ghost town, they will kill all the ghost walkers in the city."

“It’s become a ghost town?”

Liu Bai remembered what the mountain herder had said. He said that something big would happen in Xueshi City next.

Is this the big thing?
"How to turn Blood Food City into a ghost town?" Liu Bai asked.

Master Ma shook his head. "It definitely won't tell you about this."

When Liu Bai lowered his head slightly, Master Ma said again: "But it also said something else. Didn't we send the old mountain god into the city? It said that it actually has to thank us."

"Is it actually trying to send the old mountain god into the city on purpose?"

"Well, the old mountain god has probably been manipulated by it or the existence behind it..."

"Yes, the old mountain god died after entering the city."

Master Ma was not surprised to hear this, but continued: "The purpose of their sending the old mountain god into the city is to do something to the City God. I don't know if the City God can defend himself."

As Liu Bai listened, he remembered the night before, when he turned into a ghost in the City Lord's Mansion.

At that time, the City God did not take any more action.

Could it be that something has happened to the City God?

Liu Bai was thinking in his heart...something big is going to happen in Blood Food City next, that's for sure.

But should I get involved in this matter? Should I withdraw in time and avoid this disaster now, or should I try to break through and improve my strength in this test?
……

In the Blood Food City, inside a house in Renxiaofang, underground.

White candles were lit all around it, reflecting light as well as two slightly pale human faces.

Left hand and right foot.

At this moment, the expressions on their faces were quite excited, and with a hint of anticipation... They both looked down at the stone mill placed in front of them.

Stone mills are often used by farmers to grind tofu or flour, so ghost walkers occasionally borrow them for use.

Used to grind other people's souls...very reasonable.

The stone mill in front of me looked a bit old, with many worn parts, even the folds on it had been smoothed out.

But it doesn’t matter, only a stone mill like this can grind someone to death.

At this moment, Zuo Shou and You Ku were no longer carrying the long wooden box. The wooden box... was placed by the two of them at the entrance of the cellar.

Maybe because they were not carrying it, the wooden box was very noisy.

There were constant "bang bang" sounds coming from inside, as if someone was knocking on the door.

Next to where the two men were standing, four flags were planted in the east, south, west and north directions of the millstone.

One black, one white, one red, and one dark green.

There were patterns painted in blood on each banner.

Apart from that, there is the floor of the cellar. Except for where the two people stayed, the rest of the floor was filled with small coffins no bigger than a palm.

A person's name is thoughtfully written on each coffin.

For example, on the coffin closest to the millstone, there was a yellow talisman paper with red cinnabar writing on it: "Situ Busheng."

"The Situ family must thank us very much."

Zuo Shou looked at the coffins all over the floor and smiled with great satisfaction.

Then the shrill voice of the right foot sounded, "That's right, if it weren't for us, they wouldn't have been able to sleep in so many coffins."

After saying that, the two of them looked at each other and laughed.

After laughing, he patted the millstone with his left hand, "Alright, alright, the auspicious time is almost here, let's get started quickly."

"It would be so unfair to them if we missed the auspicious time."

Upon hearing this, the right foot nodded in agreement.

Then they both reached out their hands and slapped the millstone, and sang a strange tune together...

As a result, the candlelight in the cellar burned even brighter.

Then the wind started to blow again, blowing across the coffin on the ground and lifting up the talisman papers with names written on them.

But in an instant, the entire cellar seemed to have become a world of talisman paper.

The four flags fluttered.

The left hand and right foot shouted happily, "Okay, okay."

"It's time to grind tofu."

All the talisman papers fell towards the millstone.

……

Situ Hong has been in a very good mood recently.

But she didn't show it at all. What she had experienced in the past three years had already made her heart calm.

Whether she is happy or sad, she can only savor it silently when she lies alone in bed at night.

The reason for being in a good mood... is also simple.

Now that the young master of the Liu family has arrived, my hope of starting a fire has been fulfilled.

And judging from the situation, the young master of the Liu family will have to live in the Situ family permanently. The longer he stays, the greater the possibility that he will start a fire.

The only drawback is that the young master of the Liu family doesn't seem to like being served.

As for the position of the eldest daughter of the Situ family, it was no longer within Situ Hong's consideration.

Now, she is not a young lady, but she is better than a young lady.

Just like now, walking in the backyard of the Situ family, almost everyone I meet has to greet me.

So although Situ Hong appeared calm on the surface, she was actually humming a little tune in her heart.

Just in this trance, she seemed to see white figures rushing out from a courtyard on the left.

That yard is...a yard where ancestral tablets are enshrined!

This...why did the ancestor come out?
Before she could be surprised, she saw screams and shrieks coming from the direction of the Situ family's gate.

It makes people feel depressed when listening to it.

At this moment, Situ Hong felt dizzy and couldn't even stand steadily.

She quickly held onto the wall.

Next came the backyard of the Situ family. A huge black shadow rose up. The person was sitting there, and the black shadow seemed to be carrying the entire Situ family.

With the appearance of this black shadow, the screams at the doorstep became much quieter.

"Who dares to curse my Situ family!"

Patriarch Situ shouted.

But even so, Situ Hong still felt unusually uncomfortable in her chest. She turned pale and retched several times but her condition did not improve.

Not only her, but everyone in the Situ family is experiencing similar situations.

Especially for those members of the Situ family who lit a fire but the fire was not strong enough, the effect of the curse was even more obvious.

Some even fainted.

The killing curse lasted only a few breaths, and in a trance, Situ Hong saw those ancestors who had gone out coming back.

But compared to the previous time when we went out, what came back... was very little.

After Situ Busheng resisted this attack, he suddenly retracted his Yin Spirit and chased after the breath.

The change happened so quickly that many people didn't even notice it.

Only Situ Busheng... He thought of the knife seller who passed by Xueshi City on credit twenty-four years ago.

When Situ's family is settled, he will come to collect the money for the knife.

At the same time, in Wupeng Mountain.

Master Ma was driving the carriage, and Liu Bai, sitting next to him, could not feel the vibration of the carriage at all.

Even this rugged mountain road is as smooth as walking on flat ground.

"This is indeed Master Ma, he is a real expert at driving a carriage."

Liu Bai muttered in his heart, but at this moment, he suddenly looked up. Before he could see clearly, Master Ma had already grabbed the reins and hurriedly shouted, "Boy, light the engine quickly."

Xiao Cao also stood up, "Young Master, please get angry!"

Liu Bai also felt something was wrong, so he lit three fires, illuminated his spiritual body, and generated five energies, using a set of Yin techniques smoothly and seamlessly.

Especially as soon as the Heart Fire Ape was released, before it even landed on the ground, it jumped up and swept a stick across Liu Bai's head.

As the black fire rose, the discomfort on Liu Bai's body disappeared instantly.

When he raised his head, he saw a black gas above his head turning into nothingness. Master Ma had already pulled the reins to stop the carriage.

"How is this going?"

Seeing this, Liu Bai thought of the beginning, when the old woman Wang from Wangjiatun seemed to have done the same to him...

"The art of killing with a curse."

Master Ma lit up his pipe, looked up at the sky, and said in a deep voice: "Someone has cast a curse on you."
