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

Chapter 127 You, go and kill Liu Bai! [Two in One]

Looking at the worried eyes of Situ Yue and Situ Nvzi, Liu Bai thought of what happened last night.

In fact, Situ Yue and the others stayed here all night without sleeping, and Liu Bai was almost the same.

He first went to the old woods.

Then, when he came back, he kept thinking about what would happen if his mother faced such a situation. Just thinking about it... he missed his mother very much.

So he took out the book that Madam Liu had given him before he left.

The book containing Madam Liu's words.

My mother said that if I missed her very much, I could open it and take a look.

Liu Bai had opened it once before when he left Huangliang Town, and what he saw was his mother's blessing.

And last night, Liu Bai opened the book for the second time.

The words written by my mother appeared above.

Compared to the last time, there are obviously many more words that appeared this time.

"If it were someone else, they would probably be destined to fight and kill in order to survive, and try every possible way to improve their strength."

"But you are my child, so I hope you don't have to walk so fast or rush so much on this road, and you can stop and look at the scenery on both sides of the road."

No matter how miserable he was, as long as he saw what his mother wrote, Liu Bai would always feel calm...

Then I realized that my life wasn’t that bad after all.

The Situ family has the Situ family’s luck.

It was already more than enough for Liu Bai to be able to take on the position of the head of this family and borrow the Liu family's fortune to help him improve his luck.

Besides, Liu Bai did not do nothing. Now, all the evil spirits in the old forest should be moving...

On the contrary, the Situ family is a bit difficult to collapse. Until now, it has not been determined who is behind it.

As for other things... Liu Bai wouldn't think that just because he had been the head of the Situ family for a few days, he would really risk his life for the Situ family.

Mother helps, and then I help myself.

What else does the Situ family want?
So at this moment, listening to Situ Yue's question, Liu Bai thought for a moment, and then said seriously:
"It's time for me to inherit my ancestral business."

"The master's... ancestral property?" Situ Yue was a little confused.

"Well, anyway, just do your job well and don't worry about me."

Liu Bai had said so much, so naturally Situ Yue and Situ Nvzi didn't say anything more.

It was not until this moment that Situ Hong, who had been sitting alone opposite, coughed lightly, attracting the attention of these people.

Situ Yue and Situ Nvzi looked at each other, obviously thinking about how to arrange her.

But Situ Hong had a vague idea of ​​what Liu Bai wanted to do, so she said softly, "It's not convenient for the master to be alone, how about I stay with you and serve you."

Liu Bai thought about his own arrangements and felt that he might really need some help, so he nodded and agreed.

"also."

"You should be able to get in touch, right? If you have any questions or news, or if you need any help, you can tell Situ Hong. I will do my best."

"OK."

The dust settled, and Situ Hong finally felt relieved.

At this point, the three women of the Situ family looked at each other and understood that once they walked out of this door, they would have to take on the burden of the Situ family first.

This burden may be heavy, but in life, nine out of ten things are not satisfactory.

There are always things that you have to do.

……

When Liu Bai came to Situ's house, he had nothing in his hands.

But when he left, he emptied the Situ family's... entire treasure house.

Of course, it doesn’t mean that everything was really moved out, but the valuable things were all with him.

The rest of the common items were left in the treasure house.

If nothing was left there, who would believe that the Situ family would fall apart?

As for this treasure house, Liu Bai would not really want it. He would just keep it temporarily. When Situ Liang came back and rebuilt the Situ family, Liu Bai would return it to them.

Master Ma and Liuzi have followed Liu Bai's instructions and gone to the Blood Food City to help choose a store.

In fact, the inheritance of the main business that Liu Bai mentioned was also very simple.

What kind of ancestral heritage could the Liu family have?
All Liu Bai knew was the incense and candle shop in Huangliang Town.

Without the burden of the Situ family, Liu Bai now feels relaxed when walking on the street.

Situ Hong, who was following behind him, naturally could not detect his emotions, but Xiao Cao could.

So Xiaocao muttered to Liu Bai in his mind, "Master, have you been thinking about opening a candle shop in this city for a long time?"

"Yes." Liu Bai admitted it readily.

Because this was what he had planned before he set out, and it was also what he wanted to do.

When he was still under the peach tree at home, he was thinking about what he would do when he entered the city.

After much thought, I decided that it would be more appropriate to open an incense and candle shop in this city, just like my mother did.

But who would have thought that my mother actually had a plan for me.

Came to the Situ family.

Now that the Situ family has encountered a major change, Liu Bai no longer has to be the head of the family. This is a good opportunity for him to do what he wants.

Just like what my mother wrote in the book, you can look at the scenery on both sides of the road.

As he walked, Liu Bai seemed to suddenly remember something and he looked back.

Situ Hong came up at the right time and called softly, "Young Master."

"I haven't lit the fire for you yet, do you hate me?" Liu Bai didn't beat around the bush and asked directly.

When Situ Hong heard this, he didn't get terrified or fall to his knees out of fear.

She looked at Liu Bai with her clear eyes. It seemed that it was the first time that she looked at Liu Bai so boldly.

Then she slowly shook her head, "Don't hold a grudge."

"In fact, when we were in Huangliang Town, the ancestor had a conversation with me. He said that walking in the underworld might not be a good thing, but not being able to walk in the underworld might not be a bad thing either."

"I didn't understand it at the time, and I couldn't quite accept it... But now, what the ancestor said is indeed right."

Situ Hong took a deep breath and said, "If I had passed away early, and this disaster fell on me... I might not have survived."

After all, this sudden curse was mainly aimed at the Yin-walking people.

Situ Hong did not go to the underworld, so the effect of the curse on him was relatively small.

It was because of this that she was able to survive.

"Maybe, this is life."

It is said that as people get older, they believe in fate more and more.

The Situ family encountered a great change, which made the young Situ Hong begin to believe in fate.

"Okay, then I'll help you light the fire today."

As Liu Bai spoke, he turned around and continued walking forward.

As for the store matter, Liu Bai has enough money, so it naturally won’t take much time.

So he was too lazy to live with Hu Wei and planned to stay in Situ Hong's original yard for a few days.

Behind him, Situ Hong trembled slightly after hearing this, then hurriedly quickened his pace, returned to behind Liu Bai, and followed him closely.

The two places were not far from each other, and they arrived there in a short time. When they arrived here, Situ Hong first cleaned up her bedroom and gave it to Liu Bai.

She herself moved next door.

After finishing all these, the two came to the hall. Situ Hong was still a little embarrassed and even seemed a little restless.

Liu Bai didn't give her much time to prepare. He took off the bracelet he had worn for several years and threw it on the ground.

There was a "pop" sound.

The bracelet broke into five pieces when it fell to the ground. It originally only had two colors, red and blue, but now it turned into five colors.

Liu Bai didn't have time to take a closer look, because the changes in Situ Hong's body had already begun.

First there was a slight "bang" sound from the left shoulder, and the life fire was ignited, followed by the right shoulder, and then the top of the head.

It would take an ordinary person more than ten years to ignite the three fires, but she ignited them in just one breath.

Moreover, judging from the intensity of his life fire, it is no less than that of Mr. Ma's sixty-year-old boy.

But these three fires are far from the limit of Situ Hong. The three fires are born with a bright spirit body, first on her head, and then gradually down to her body, hands and even feet.

Until his whole body was glowing with a dim white light.

This means that the spirit in the whole body has been burned out, but it has not yet been completely burned... Afterwards, the light on Situ Hong's body gradually became more obvious.

Even her entire aura changed from gentle to fierce.

Even the spirits throughout the body were burned to perfection.

Just when Liu Bai thought it might be almost done, the bracelet that was broken into five pieces on the ground, the red part suddenly flew up and instantly sank into Situ Hong's body.

Then a ball of red light flew out from her heart, and after landing, it turned into a monkey no taller than her knees, with red hair all over its body and holding a stick as high as its eyebrows.

Then another blue bracelet flew up, went in and out of his body, and turned into the Kidney Water Pig among the Five Qi.

Afterwards, the Liver Wood Eagle, the Lung Gold Dragon and even the Spleen Earth Ox appeared one by one.

Liu Bai was so surprised by the scene that he couldn't close his mouth.

It turns out that the bracelet she is wearing is an energy-gathering item prepared by her mother?

Now her five energies were gathered and spinning around her body. Just when Liu Bai thought that she was going to gather the five energies to create the Yin Spirit.

Finally, it stopped.

Situ Hong first looked at the five energies around him, and then looked at the life fire on his shoulder, still unable to believe it.

"This... Am I becoming a ghost walker?" she murmured.

While Liu Bai was looking at her, he also sensed that there was suddenly something more inside his Sumeru.

A paper.

Just as he smashed the bracelet, a piece of paper suddenly appeared in his Sumeru.

There were many words and patterns densely written on the paper.

Liu Bai took a few glances and knew what it was.

Destiny letter.

It’s still Situ Hong’s fate note.

Xiao Cao's voice also rang in Liu Bai's mind, "Young Master, this is what the Queen prepared for you. She said that after you set Situ Hong on fire, if she dares not listen to you, you will burn her life letter and burn her to death!"

"So after all these twists and turns, Situ Hong thought she had taken back her right to light the fire from me, but in fact she had already handed her life to me?"

For a moment, a sentence popped up in Liu Bai's mind.

"Everything you think is a gift from fate actually has a price tag already secretly marked on it."

"Sir, do you think Situ Hong will not listen to you? Xiaocao thinks she will definitely not listen to you, hehe." Xiaocao said with a hum.

Liu Bai also put away his thoughts and stopped thinking about it. Instead, he looked at Situ Hong in front of him.

Liu Bai didn't forget either.

Three years ago, before Situ Hong went to Huangliang Town and Yinmai, she was hailed as the number one prodigy in Xueshi City, the kind who could transcend the Yin God and cultivate the Yang God.

This statement alone is enough to prove how talented she is.

And now, she has proved herself.

Just a little fire was enough to attack the Yin God. Perhaps it was also due to the bracelet given by Madam Liu.

But if she wasn't very talented, how could she have caught Madam Liu's eye?
After a brief period of adaptation, Situ Hong calmed down a little, and then she looked at Liu Bai.

The two of them just looked at each other for a moment, and Situ Hong knelt down on his knees without hesitation.

Just like when Situ Busheng first met Liu Bai, he knelt down and kowtowed.

"Tsk, Xiaocao thought she would be arrogant and turn her back on me. How boring."

After saying that, Xiaocao shrank back behind Liu Bai and began to toss and turn to prepare for sleep.

Liu Bai seemed not to have heard anything. He first asked Situ Hong to stand up, and then said, "You should get familiar with your body first. After all, you are a Yin person, so you are somewhat different from ordinary people."

After getting up, Situ Hong smiled and said, "No need, sir, the queen has already helped me."

"Ok?"

Liu Bai was somewhat surprised by his mother's thoughtfulness, "So can you exert the power of the five qi now?"

Hearing this, Situ Hong finally felt a little... proud?
After standing up, she couldn't help but raise her chin slightly.

"Under the Yin God, I am invincible."

Seeing her like this, Liu Bai couldn't help but ask, "What about above the Yin God?"

"Uh……"

Situ Hong lowered her head and smiled awkwardly, but after sensing it, she quickly said, "Within a year, this servant will be able to be promoted to Yin God."

"Tsk, in comparison, Master Ma really lives a dog's life." Liu Bai sighed and felt for Master Ma.

Situ Hong didn't know how to respond to this kind of talk, so she just shut up.

During the next two days, the entire Blood Food City was in chaos.

For those who are hiding in secret, the fall of the Situ family is a big piece of fat meat. Who wouldn't want to rush up and take a bite?
Even if you can't bite it, just touching it with your hand will get your hands covered with oil.

The Zhou family, Wufutang, and Meng family, these three families have been fighting a lot to take over the business left over from the Red Lantern House.

For ordinary people, the fall of the Situ family has little impact on them, because without the Situ family, the Zhu family, the Liu family and the like will soon come to the fore.

They just wanted to watch the fun, to see those people who think they are superior to others fighting to the death and making ugly moves just for a little profit.

In the past two days, some people came to Situ Hong, but they were all idle ghost walkers. After she killed a few of them, no one dared to come.

Liu Bai took this opportunity to go with Master Ma to carefully select a store in the Blood Food City.

It’s not because they can’t agree on the price, but because Liu Bai has three things he doesn’t want for this store.

First, the location is good, but he doesn’t want a business that’s doing well because it’s too tiring to work there.

Secondly, he doesn’t want businesses in bad locations or with slow business. It would be a loss to do business in such places, and if his mother knew about it, she would probably scold him to death.

Third, he doesn’t want what others don’t want.

So after much selection, they finally chose a suitable store in Kangshoufang in the east of the city. Because it was close to Hu Wei's house, he kept saying it was good. Liu Bai thought that being close to the Short Knife Gang would also save him from a lot of trouble.

So we decided on this place.

During this time, he also went out several times at night, his target was the old woods, to ask those evil spirits if they had found any clues.

Yes, there are some.

For example, the two men who cursed the Situ family were both wearing black robes. They were carrying a long wooden box on their backs and walked in a very strange way, but... very quickly.

Situ Busheng chased the two men northward, passed the pass, and entered the territory of Xian Mountain.

Every mountain has its own administrator.

Once you enter the territory of Mount Dan, the evil spirits in the old woods will no longer be of any concern to you.

As for the strength of those two people... these evil spirits can't sense it. When asked, they say they are very powerful. When asked again, they say they are extremely powerful.

There is not enough news, no rush.

Liu Bai would never call his mother out for the safety of the Situ family.

The next thing he had to face was the opening of the shop. Mr. Ma originally wanted to find a fortune teller to choose an auspicious day and hold a grand ceremony.

Not only him, Gongsun Shi who came over to join in the fun also had the same idea. He even said that he would use his connections to book the best Zuiyunlou in the city for a day to celebrate.

But these were all rejected by Liu Bai.

Because he felt that his mother might not like such extravagance, and coincidentally, he didn't like it either.

So on such an ordinary morning, an ordinary incense and candle shop appeared in this Blood Food City.

……

Every shop needs a name.

From the perspective of Feng Shui, if a shop doesn't have a proper name, it will not be able to contain wealth. Even if wealth flows to you, it will slip away.

In simple terms, if your shop doesn't have a name, people won't be able to find it even if they want to.

So Liu Bai also gave a name to his shop, which had a store in the front and people living in the back.

The name is random and easy to remember.

It is called "Hongzhu Shop".

As for why it was given such a name?
It's simple, because Madam Liu's incense and candle shop is called "Red Candle Shop", and now that he has inherited his mother's business, the name naturally cannot be changed.

With Liu Bai's prior invitation, no one else came on the opening day except the four of them, the master and his disciples, and their maid Situ Hong. It was only at the last minute of lunch that Gongsun Shi came again with a flattering look on his face.

But it was not a wasted trip, as he was carrying a food box filled with dishes bought from Zuiyunlou.

He first said a few flattering words, then took out a red leather object and stuffed it into Liu Bai's hand.

There wasn't much money in it, just a few copper coins.

It's also for good luck.

After having lunch together, Mr. Ma was ready to say goodbye. He had left the town since the day he went to Mudong Town.

It has been almost ten days since I came out.

I met some people from Huangliang Town on the street yesterday, and they all said that the rumor in the town was that Master Ma was dead.

How can I bear this?

Besides, it would be really hard to live without him in the town, so he felt relieved to see Liu Bai settled down.

As for Liu Bai's safety, that was not even something he considered.

After seeing off Master Ma, Liu Tie, who had taken leave, also had to go back to work. It seemed that something was happening in the Short Knife Gang, so Gongsun Shi and Hu Wei hurried back after dinner.

As a result, the shop that was bustling in the morning suddenly became deserted.

As for business, it was just so-so. I sold some incense and paper money in the morning.

"By the way, I asked you to deliver some rice to the neighbors on both sides. Have you done it?" Liu Bai, leaning on the soft chair, asked the ordinary Situ Hong.

Perhaps because she knew she would be in public, Situ Hong changed her appearance by putting on makeup.

This will avoid unnecessary trouble due to your original appearance.

Moreover, there is a huge difference between her appearance before and after the disguise. I wonder who she learned this from.

As for sending rice to neighbors...for ordinary people, in today's world, nothing is more practical than rice.

"They have all been delivered." Situ Hong replied softly.

Most of the people in Kangshoufang run shops, and Liu Bai's neighbors on both sides are no exception. The one on the left is a butcher and runs a meat stall.

However, in recent years, business has been depressed and this meat stall has also had slow business.

The butcher became thin due to starvation.

Liu Bai didn't know much about the butcher's personality, but he knew his surname was Wu.

The family on the right... runs a business somewhat similar to Liu Bai's incense and candle shop, it's a funeral clothing shop.

The man who runs the shop is a young man with very fair skin, who always likes to sit at the door to bask in the sun. His surname is Ning, and his name is Ning Yi. He always wears a loose black robe.

Liu Bai could sense a hint of excess from him, but it was very faint.

Just as Liu Bai finished asking, the door suddenly darkened and a tall and thin man walked in. He had a greasy apron tied around his chest and a piece of bloody pork in his hand.

"Shopkeeper Xiao Liu, Shopkeeper Xiao Liu." The man came and shouted with a smile.

Liu Bai also stood up after hearing this. He was not even as tall as the counter, so he could only stand on a chair and speak, "Master Wu."

"I wish you good luck in opening your shop, Shopkeeper Xiao Liu. I'm grateful for your kindness. I just killed a pig and chopped off two taels of meat..." He pretended to be angry and said, "You can't refuse."

Liu Bai smiled and said, "No thanks, Uncle Wu."

"That's right."

Master Wu gave the pork to Situ Hong, then patted his greasy chest and said, "I'm staying right next door. If Shopkeeper Xiao Liu needs anything, just let me know."

"okay."

"I still have a few pieces of meat in my shop, so I'll go and take care of them first." After saying this, Master Wu waved his hand and left, looking very free and easy.

Situ Hong sent the meat to the kitchen in the back, and Liu Bai lay back on the soft chair, leisurely.

"Sir, I feel like we're back in Huangliang Town."

"Sir, it would be nice if the queen was here too."

Xiao Cao hid under the table, sitting there in a daze, and said, "Master, do you still remember the first time you met Xiao Cao? Xiao Cao was right here, and you were scared by Xiao Cao at that time, hahaha."

Liu Bai didn't say it, but he felt the same way.

When I was running the store with my mother, I was also lying here, but... the appearance of Situ Hong somewhat ruined the atmosphere.

She didn't listen to what Xiaocao just said, and said to herself: "Sir, do you think the owner of the funeral clothing store next door will give us any return gift?"

Liu Bai turned over and said, "What do you expect him to give us? A shroud for us?"

"Shopkeeper Xiao Liu really guessed this."

A weak voice came from the door.

Liu Bai, who had just laid down, got up again, stood on the chair, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Manager Ning."

Ning Yi supported himself with his shoulders and stood up. "We are all ghost walkers, so I'll be frank. I made this shroud myself, and it works pretty well. Put it on when you go into the mountains, and the evil spirits won't be able to smell it."

"It's just that the time is not very long, it can only last for a cup of tea."

Ning Yi said this as he placed two paper shrouds on the table.

Liu Bai leaned over the counter, looked at the shroud, and then looked at Ning Yi, whose face was pale.

"Manager Ning, this seems a bit too expensive."

Liu Bai didn't know in advance that Ning Yi would be a ghost, so Situ Hong sent him rice, but now...

"Meeting is fate, why bother with all this?" Ning Yi said, waved his hand, yawned, and went out.

Situ Hong looked at Liu Bai.

"Put it away."

After meeting the two neighbors, Liu Bai's shop became deserted again. He was not in a hurry, just like the current situation in Xueshi City.

You can't rush it.

But I didn't expect that Ning Yi, who had just walked out, would quickly come back backwards.

"Shopkeeper Xiao Liu said you came from the city?"

When you are away from home, you give yourself an identity, so Liu Bai just made up an origin for himself.

"That's right." Liu Bai said, standing on a chair.

Ning Yi nodded, and after a moment of contemplation, he spoke again, "We have a tile market tonight, I wonder if Shopkeeper Xiao Liu is interested?"

"Washizi?"

Liu Bai became interested when he heard this name.

The Washizi is not quite the same as the ghost market. The ghost market is a proper market for the dead.

But Washizi is different, people gather and disperse as they please.

Ghost markets are mainly for trading various goods, but Wasizi is a little different. Wasizi is more about exchanging information.

Therefore, this Wa Shizi often exists among some idle ghost walkers.

For example, when Liu Bai first came to the city, he went to Situ's house, a red-light district, so naturally he would not come into contact with such places.

Now that he has broken away from there, he has opened a small shop in this market town. Naturally, swindlers like Ning Yi will come up to make friends with him.

After all... if you get to know more ghost walkers, you will have more paths to take.

"Yes, if Shopkeeper Xiao Liu is willing, please prepare it tonight and I will take you there then."

"Okay, thank you, Manager Ning."

Liu Bai stood on the chair and clasped his fists, looking very much like that.

……

At Maple Leaf Ferry, in a small courtyard, under an old maple tree, they sat together tightly, carrying wooden boxes on their left hands and right feet.

On the stone table in front of them, there was a porcelain bowl placed separately, and inside the bowls was what looked like blood.

And sitting opposite their stone table was still Xiong Dayou.

Compared with the previous period, Xiong Dayou was now in high spirits. After all, his two bosses only needed to drop some things from between their fingernails to burn his spirit body to perfection.

This man was in high spirits because of the good news, so he went to the gambling house at the ferry yesterday.

Hey, don't tell me.

I got several green beads in one night.

Xiong Dayou was thinking when he suddenly heard Zuoshou coughing on the opposite side. He immediately pricked up his ears and listened carefully.

"This Situ family... is basically ruined. It's a pity that I didn't expect that the head of the family was not from the Situ family and was not killed."

Zuoshou shook his head as he spoke, as if he was very regretful.

The right foot listened, and a shrill voice rang out, "It doesn't matter, it can't change the overall situation. The Situ family is already ruined, which family should be next?"

When Xiong Da heard this, he quickly said, "Short Knife Gang, Short Knife Gang, Boss."

"If we don't get rid of this Short Knife Gang, I will be promoted back to the headquarters."

Originally, he always wanted to squeeze into the main hall, but now...how could the main hall be as cool as it is outside?
Hearing the sound of his right foot, a cold gaze swept over him.

Xiong Dayou shut up immediately. He had already figured out everything during this period of time.

The left-hand boss is easy to talk to, but the right-foot boss is not. However, the left-hand boss will listen to the right-foot boss.

So... just be obedient.

"Then let's start with the Zhou family. After we deal with the Zhou family, it will be the turn of the Short Knife Gang." The left hand made the final decision and the right foot expressed agreement.

But at the last moment, Zuo Shou looked at Xiong Dayou in front of him and suddenly said:

"You have nothing to do anyway, so I'll give you a task to do."

"Okay." Upon hearing that he could do something, Xiong Dayou immediately became excited.

"Do you know the child head of the Situ family who ran away?" asked Zuoshou.

Xiong Da nodded, "I know."

"During this time, go and kill him."

"Ah I?"

Xiong Dayou pointed at himself, looking a little surprised and unbelievable, "I'm just a burning spirit body, and that kid has gathered five energies, how can I kill him..."

Zuoshou listened to Xiong Dayou's words as if he had heard some big joke and laughed for a long time before stopping.

The right foot sneered and said, "A small ravine is just a small ravine. If you walk outside, you will know that it is nothing for a ghost-walker who burns spirits to kill a ghost-walker who gathers five qi."

"The most powerful ones are the ones who light three fires and kill the five energies."

"This...how do I kill this?" Xiong Dayou murmured with a hint of disbelief.

Zuo Shou had already picked up the cup of blood on the table and drank it all, then smacked his lips and said, "Do you know why Right Foot and I were able to kill so many people from the Situ family at once?"

"Because the two bosses have extraordinary powers and boundless magic!"

Xiong Dayou blurted out.

The corner of Zuo Shou's mouth twitched slightly, and then he moved closer and whispered, "Because for a shady person, being forced to do it personally is the most incompetent performance."

"Just like your Heart Fire Ape, you actually use it for close combat. How ignorant is that?"

Zuo Shou said this and leaned back, as if he was very disdainful.

The right foot added, "What a Yin-Walker relies on is never his body, but his means."

Looking at Xiong Dayou’s distraught back as he left.

The left hand and the right foot looked at each other and couldn't help laughing. Finally, when they couldn't laugh anymore, the left hand said:

"You said... did he really think that he had joined our Funeral Temple?"

Upon hearing this, Youjiao seemed to have thought of something, the smile on his face disappeared, and then he asked word by word:

"Then how can we be sure that we have really joined the Funeral Temple?"

After hearing this, Zuoshou stopped laughing.

He thought about it seriously, then slowly and tentatively said, "If we didn't join the real funeral temple... wouldn't that be more interesting?"

After saying this, louder and crazier laughter rang out in the yard.
