Chapter 126 Liu Bai's Arrangement

The three of them arrived at the City God Temple with familiarity. The incense was still very popular and there was a long line of people burning incense at the door.

When the visitors saw the Situ family's carriage, they all tried to avoid it. But after seeing a child jump out of the carriage, they understood.

The Blood Food City is neither small nor big.

The news that the Red Light House had a new kid as its owner had spread throughout the entire Blood Food City.

Many people had only seen it today, so they were looking at it curiously.

Liu Bai had long been immune to these gazes. With Master Ma leading the way, the three of them naturally arrived at the back of the City God Temple.

The temple keeper was still standing guard at the door of the small room, his eyes drooping, as if he was half asleep.

Hearing the footsteps, he just looked up and glanced, then said: "The City God has gone out for inspection. Come back in a few days if you have anything."

"He went on patrol?" Master Ma took off the old pipe from his mouth and asked, "When did it happen? Doesn't the City God go on patrol only on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month?"

The old temple keeper listened to these words, and raised his eyes slightly, as if he was laughing in anger, or as if he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Why, who do you think you are? Does the City God need to ask you for a permit before he goes on patrol?"

Master Ma quickly apologized, "I dare not, I dare not."

"Okay, come back in a few days whether you have something to do or not." The old temple keeper waved his hand and started to send people away.

Since the City God was not there, Liu Bai had no choice.

Just as he walked out of the door, Liu Bai saw Situ Hong rushing over, then came up to him and said anxiously: "Something big happened at home."

This was not the place to talk outside, so Liu Bai led them into the carriage and hurried towards Situ's house.

And just after Liu Bai left, in the small room inside the City God Temple.

The City God was sitting there with a sword in his hand. His brows were furrowed, but his facial expression kept changing as if he was performing a magic trick.

Sometimes he was happy, sometimes he was furious...the sword in his arms seemed to be covered with a layer of sticky blood.

……

On the carriage back to the Situ family, Liu Bai looked at the panicked Situ Hong, and had a guess in his mind, but he still calmly asked, "What happened?"

Hearing this, Situ Hong turned to look at Liu Bai, tears streaming down her face. She moved her lips and said silently:
"Went out."

Went out?

At this time, what could have gone out...it could only be that Situ Busheng's eternal lamp went out.

When Liu Bai heard the news, he was also a little stunned and dazed.

Plus it's a little unbelievable.

The old man who knelt down the first time he saw me.

The old man who always looked cheerful every time we met, touched his belly from time to time, and called himself "old slave"...did he really die like this?
Could it be so easy for a ghost who had a ghost spirit to die?
Liu Bai thought about it and felt that this seemed to be the first person close to him who had died since he traveled through time.

Although Taoist Yixiao was also dead, Liu Bai felt that he did not have much of a relationship with him, and they had even only met a few times.

But this is not the case with Situ Busheng.

He was the kind of person who almost opened his heart to me the moment we met.

He even grew up eating the tributes from his mother, and now... he's dead?

Liu Bai, who was already feeling a little depressed, became even more irritated.

He wondered, if he had been there when the action took place, would the outcome have been different?
Would Situ Busheng not have died?
As he was annoyed, he felt his heartbeat quicken, and a bloodthirsty impulse filled his heart again.

Even the Heart Fire Ape sitting cross-legged in his body suddenly opened its eyes.

Liu Bai took a few deep breaths and suppressed his emotions. At the same time, he was thinking about what to do about the Situ family...

Soon, the carriage drove into Situ's house.

Liu Bai led Situ Hong straight to the courtyard where the ancestral hall was located, while Master Ma and the other two were waiting in the hall.

Compared to Liu Bai, they are still outsiders after all.

There were only a few people left in the Situ family, so when Liu Bai came to the ancestral hall, apart from the sobbing ghost cries, he only saw Situ Yue and Situ Nv'er there.

Both of them had red eyes, obviously they had been crying.

Then, looking somewhat absent-minded, Liu Bai's eyes swept across the eternal lamp placed in the middle of the tablet.

The wick was still there, but the flame was gone.

Situ Busheng’s eternal lamp…really went out.

Situ Busheng...is dead.

"Master...Master." Situ Yue shouted, her voice sounding a little sad.

Liu Bai glanced at the two of them, then looked at Situ Hong who was still at a loss, and said in a deep voice: "Close the door and discuss the matter."

It was the first time that Situ Yue and the others heard Liu Bai speak in such a tone, and they were stunned at first.

Then he quickly wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and came to his senses.

After all, they come from a big family, so they know that they need to remain calm when facing major events.

There was a loud "bang".

Situ Hong had already closed the heavy door. There was no light in the ancestral hall except for a few dim oil lamps.

Liu Bai came to the main seat without hesitation and sat down. The sobbing sounds were still heard all around, and those who were crying now were naturally the ancestors of the Situ family.

Liu Bai, who was already feeling annoyed, immediately ignited his life fire after hearing these useless cries.

Then he released the Heart Fire Ape, whose body was burning with black fire. In just a moment, the crying all around stopped.

Situ Yue and Situ Nvzi were shocked at first by Liu Bai's strength.

They only knew that Liu Bai had lit the fire, and guessed that it was most likely to burn the spirit, but now it seems that the five energies have been gathered?
And this Heart Fire Ape...what's going on?

Liu Bai glanced around, and in the darkness, all the shadowy ghosts retreated to the corners.

Liu Bai then retracted his gaze, and then looked at Situ Yue and the others, and slowly said: "I can tell you the situation clearly. There is another person in your Situ family who has raised a Yin spirit."

"What?!" Situ girl spoke first.

The other two women were also stunned.

"Master Patriarch, are you talking about... Situ Liang?" Situ Yue wanted to ask if it was Master Patriarch's, but then she remembered that the person in front of her was the Patriarch, so she called him by his real name.

After all, there is no other possibility except Situ Liang.

"Well, your ancestor told me this."

"Although I can't get in touch with him, Situ Liang must have sensed the curse this time. If nothing unexpected happens, he will be able to rush back soon."

"So what you have to do now is to hold on until he gets back. Do you understand?"

Under the dim light, Liu Bai sat in the main seat and spoke in an orderly manner, which for a moment made Situ Yue and the others forget Liu Bai's age.

"Master, if you have anything to say, just tell me and we'll make the arrangements."

"it is good."

Liu Bai did not hesitate and said directly: "Now that Patriarch Situ has passed away and Situ Liang has not returned, I think we can make this arrangement for the time being."

"First, transfer all the red-light houses in and outside the city to the Meng family. Leave no one behind. Give them all."

"Secondly, Ms. Situ, you should lead all the current matchmakers to go underground and hide as much as possible. Then, collect clues about this curse and find out who is behind it."

"Third point... This Situ family's house may have to be handed over to you, Situ Yue, to guard."

Liu Bai said it all in one breath.

After hearing this, Situ Yue and Situ Nvzi looked at each other under the dim light of the oil lamp. They could vaguely see the shock in each other's eyes.

They had never thought, nor dared to think, that a little kid like Liu Bai could have such a profound arrangement.

Finally, it was Situ Yue who said, "Actually, I also had a conversation with that girl last night and had similar thoughts."

"It's just that what we wanted was to transfer the red-light houses outside the city to the Meng family and keep the ones inside the city. Now after hearing what the head of the family said... it would be better to hand them all over to the Meng family."

Once the Meng family gets to know about the Situ family's situation, they will definitely attack like mad dogs. In addition, the Zhou family and Wufutang will definitely not give up the piece of fat meat of the Situ family.

Therefore, the best way at this time is to give up directly and transfer all conflicts to the Meng family.

After all, the Meng family has coveted the Red Light House for a long time, and once they take it over, they will definitely not be willing to let go.

Then, they will be the ones to bear the pressure from the Zhou family and Wufutang.

Situ Nvzi then said, "On the second point, I think the same as the master of the family, but on the third point, Sister Yue has a different idea..."

Hearing this, Liu Bai looked up at Situ Yue again, who slowly said, "Yesterday we gathered all the living members of the clan, and I found that there were still a few who had gone astray."

"So my idea is... we don't want this house anymore. Without the ancestor who nourishes the Yin God, it will be a disaster if we keep it."

"Next, I will take them with me and let the Short Knife Gang escort them to Qingshan City and make a place for them. If something happens, no matter where they are, at least we can leave a legacy for the Situ family. As for the rest, we can wait until Situ Liang comes back."

Looking at the old woman with an impassioned tone, Liu Bai was a little dazed. In his impression, Situ Yue was still a middle-aged woman, and even spoke in a coquettish manner.

But I never thought that now that she is old, she still has this kind of courage.

"Alright."

Liu Bai agreed. As for whether something would go wrong if he went to Qingshan City...if something really happened, then it wouldn't be a problem if he stayed in Xueshi City, right?

Things have come to this point, it can't get any worse than this.

Just as they finished talking about this, Situ Yue couldn't help but ask, "We have made all the arrangements, what are you going to do, Master?"

"me."

Liu Bai pointed at himself.

……

at the same time.

On the outskirts of Mount Dan, at the entrance of an old mountain enclosure in a bamboo forest, a man in a snow-white robe came. He had a pale face, long hair, and walked unsteadily, as if he was drunk, but also like... a ghost.

Finally, he walked to a pile of fresh earth, half squatted, and said cheerfully:
"Grandfather, Grandfather, your body has been buried."

"The leg bones are used as hammers and the human skin is used as drums."

"If we had kept our promise in the past, why should we suffer so much now?"

As he finished speaking, the fresh pile of earth seemed to be stretched open by spring bamboo shoots, and a bloody hand suddenly stretched out.
