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

Chapter 137: Blood Food in the End [asking for monthly ticket]

It was just a ghost shadow before, but it had already forced Zhuang Yingcheng to use the method of Yang Shen.

And now there are so many ghosts on the ground... How is this possible? !
fake!

It must be fake!
It's a trick created by this ghost.

Zhuang Yingcheng did not move, but the Yang Shen, who had already ignited the fire behind him, stomped his foot on the ground. Suddenly, a circle of fire formed by the white life fire spread out from around him.

Wherever it passed, even the ground was burned into scorched earth.

Liu Bai could also feel that after releasing this life fire, his other ghost shadows seemed to be targeted and couldn't even escape.

So... this Yang Shen does have some skills.

But only a little.

The corners of his mouth curled up, revealing a hint of a smile. It seemed that this Lord City Lord did not believe in his own strength.

So Liu Bai felt that it was necessary to let him see it for himself.

After all, in this Blood Food City, it is really difficult to meet an opponent who can make you fight with all your strength.

As soon as the thought came to mind, the ghost shadows all over the ground fell to the ground like ice melting into water.

Then, the darkness on the ground seemed to take on substance and flowed forward, towards the circle of fire formed by the fire of life.

The two collided instantly, emitting a fishy smell.

This white life fire seemed to be wrapped in a piece of black cloth, and then... it went out.

After extinguishing the life fire, these ghosts rose from the ground again and turned into black figures.

His eyes were dim, staring at Zhuang Yingcheng who was in the middle.

The latter's expression had already changed, and it became very ugly, seeing this situation now.

He roared angrily, and the Yang Spirit with the Life Fire behind him suddenly dissipated, turning into white dots of Life Fire, which poured into his body.

Just when Liu Bai thought that he was going to use some tough measures, he saw him pull out a huge piece of gray cloth from his sleeve, cover himself with it, and suddenly disappear from the spot.

He... escaped?!
Liu Bai was also a little surprised. Isn't it said that only evil spirits are timid and afraid of things, and would think of running away when they disagree with something?
Why are these ghost walkers, especially those who have raised Yang spirits, so cowardly? !

Liu Bai felt the heat around him disappear, and then he glanced at Zhong Erhong who was already standing on the top of the city wall.

She was slightly injured, but it was nothing serious, so Liu Bai felt relieved.

"Where are you from?" Faced with such a powerful evil spirit, Zhong Erhong no longer had his usual arrogance.

He then stood guard on the city wall with a serious look on his face.

Liu Bai looked at Aunt Huang like this, grinned, ignored her, and walked straight to the place where Zhuang Yingcheng disappeared.

He wanted to see what secrets the gray cloth held.

On the wall, Zhong Erhong looked at Liu Bai's fluttering cloak, the double horns on his head, and the faintly visible bone wings behind him, and couldn't help but sigh:

"I didn't expect you to be so handsome."

"If all evil spirits were born like you, we the Yin-walkers wouldn't hate you so much."

After hearing this, Liu Bai laughed even more happily.

Even the ghost walkers, especially the extremely arrogant ghost walkers like Aunt Huang, boast about their good looks.

What does that mean? ?

It means that his handsomeness is unparalleled!
Liu Bai felt like he was walking with the wind, then he raised his head, glanced at Aunt Huang standing on the top of the city wall, grinned and said, "You are also very good-looking. Among all the people I have seen, you can be ranked second."

The first is mother, the second is wet nurse.

Very reasonable.

"Oh? Then who is the first place?" Zhong Erhong couldn't help but ask after hearing this.

Liu Bai didn't answer. When he got closer, he reached out and picked up the gray cloth. Then he rolled it up and put it back into Xumi.

There was nothing else left on the ground, and no one knew where Zhuang Yingcheng had gone.

Liu Bai flapped his wings and looked down at the entire earth, but he did not see the figure of Zhuang Yingcheng. Then he went straight to the south, as if he had entered the layers of Cuiyun Mountain.

But before he entered the mountain, he actually circled to the east and suddenly flapped his wings and flew away.

Sister Hong will definitely go back after she resolves the issues here.

If I don't want to be discovered by her, I have to go back before she does.

So it’s all about speed and time.

half an hour.

When Liu Bai had just climbed in through the window and curled up in bed, before he even had time to catch his breath, he heard the sound of the courtyard door being pushed open.

Liu Bai changed his mind, and simply stood up, put on his shoes, and shouted loudly: "Sister Hong?!"

There was a response from outside the door, and Liu Bai went to open it.

Then he took the initiative to say: "Sister Hong, you didn't come back, I didn't sleep all night."

Sister Hong looked him up and down and saw that he was fully clothed, with even the shoes on his feet covered in mud.

"Uh, I couldn't sleep, so I went out for a walk."

"You didn't go to the west part of the city?"

"No, I don't dare to go. I'm afraid that I'll cause trouble for Sister Hong. But what's the situation over there? Sister Hong, are you okay? Is Wufutang gone?"

Liu Bai wanted to change the subject, so he asked quickly.

Sure enough, after asking this question, Sister Hong didn't ask anything else.

Situ Hong also walked in from outside the door.

"Basically, they were all killed by Zhou Rulong, except for the head of the Wufu Hall, Mei Yan, who wanted to escape from the beginning, so he was not kept."

"I was entangled by Zhuang Yingcheng. Fortunately, a ghost with a grudge against him appeared later. It was very fierce and almost overwhelmed him. I was fine."

After Zhong Erhong finished speaking, Xiaocao's mumbling began to echo in Liu Bai's mind.

All they said was flattering words like “Young master is so awesome”.

Liu Bai was somewhat happy after hearing this, but he still had to pretend to be shocked on the surface, "How could such a vicious evil spirit come?"

"What does that evil spirit look like?"

"Well, he must have had a grudge against Zhuang Yingcheng. After he beat Zhuang Yingcheng away, he ran away. He looks..." Zhong Erhong thought for a while and finally said, "Very handsome."

Liu Bai forced down the corners of his mouth that always kept curling up, and then talked to Sister Hong about other issues.

For example, will Zhuang Yingcheng come to kill us again? Have you seen things like the left hand and right foot in the funeral temple?

After the chat, everyone went their separate ways. I took a nap in the short time before dawn.

The next day, as soon as it was light, Liu Bai said goodbye to Zhong Erhong and said that he was going back to the shop.

But halfway through the journey, he told Situ Hong to go to the shop and open the door.

Situ Hong naturally didn't dare to refuse. She just told Liu Bai to be careful and drove away in the carriage.

Liu Bai left the city from the north gate again and then went to the old woods.

The temple keeper said last night that the City God had hidden in this old forest. When Liu Bai was patrolling the mountains, he also met many ghost walkers from the City Lord's Mansion who were also looking for the City God.

Liu Bai showed no mercy to these people.

They came in with great fanfare, showing little respect for the old forest.

Liu Bai felt that as the master of this old forest, it was necessary for him to make them feel awe for this forest again.

After dealing with them, Liu Bai found another strange creature in the forest.

It was a ghost in yellow clothes, wearing a yellow Taoist robe. It was floating in the mountains. When it saw Liu Bai, it bowed its head.

Liu Bai had just mentioned the City God, and before he had time to ask in detail, the yellow-clothed ghost had already confessed. It said that a few days ago, a night-wandering ghost covered in filth did break into the mountains.

The yellow-clothed ghost thought it was a night-wandering god from Cuiyun Mountain in the south, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

Just let a few evil spirits follow.

But I never thought that it would be the City God of this Blood Food City? !
Seeing Liu Bai asking, it went to look for him, but returned after a moment and brought back the news.

It is said that the City God finally hid in a small stream and has not come out since then.

Liu Bai asked about the location of the stream again, and then flapped his wings and left.

But when he flew high into the sky, he saw that the sky in the northwest corner was covered with dark clouds, as if it was going to rain heavily. He didn't know what was going on.

But now is obviously not the time to care about these things. He followed the location given by the yellow-clothed ghost and soon found the stream.

The cracks in the mountains formed abysses, and the streams flowed down to form ravines.

When Liu Bai fell down and arrived here, he saw a small stream flowing out from the mountain stream, winding and carrying a strong yin energy.

This kind of place, with water, shade and natural scenery, has always been the favorite place for evil spirits.

As for those who walk in the underworld, everyone stays away from them.

Haunted den.

Liu Bai also felt a cool breath blowing towards him, which made him feel refreshed. He looked inside. It was dark, but to him, it was bright.

Seeing at night is no problem for his scarlet eyes.

After walking a few steps forward, he could smell that smell, a fishy stench mixed with the smell of incense.

Snakes have snake ways, rats have rat ways.

This is the path that the Night Wanderer walks.

Liu Bai did not conceal his breath and walked in without any hesitation.

Those wandering spirits and evil spirits fled. For example, in this stream, there were several fish that made sounds like women. They were not called baby fish, but woman fish. In addition, on the rock wall of the mountain stream, there was also a four-cornered reptile that was madly climbing up, shouting madly: "Here I come, here I come."

The falling stone almost hit Liu Bai, so Xiao Cao picked up one and threw it back angrily.

It’s a pity that I can’t throw it that high.

It was so angry that it kept cursing Master Ma.

The ground was full of riverbanks and pebbles. Liu Bai walked forward for a while, and the sound of flowing water and waterfalls became more and more obvious. There was a stone path on the stone wall on the left.

The aura of the Night Wandering God is extremely evident here.

Liu Bai jumped up and arrived at the entrance of the stone path.

The stone path was very short, only about two meters deep, and at this moment, at the innermost part of the stone path, there was a black shadow squatting, who was dirty and emitting a foul smell.

As if it sensed Liu Bai's breath, it raised its head.

It was not until this moment that Liu Bai was able to see the true identity of the City God.

It turned out to be a mountain dog that had turned into a spirit. At this moment, its body was covered with black blood, which made people feel very disgusted.

Seeing Liu Bai, it knelt on its knees, trembling and shouting: "Greetings, Master Ghost, Greetings, Master Ghost."

Liu Bai didn't waste time talking to it. He walked up to it, kicked it to the ground, then squatted down a little and asked:
"I'm only asking once, what on earth was going on with the bloody rain in Blood Food City?!"

"Wha...what?!"

The City God seemed to have heard the thing he feared the most. He had just stood up, but fell to the ground again. His body trembled uncontrollably and he kept repeating the same thing.

"Blame me, blame me..."

Liu Bai frowned, "Did Zhuang Yingcheng ask you to do it? Or was it a funeral temple?"

Hearing this, the City God seemed to come to his senses a little. With regret and pain in his eyes, he fell to the ground.

"After a hundred years of hard work, we will eventually return to dust. All the past is empty and silent."

It closed its eyes, and two lines of blood and tears flowed from the corners of its eyes.

Just when Liu Bai thought he was going to die, he finally spoke, "A few months ago, three ghost walkers sent a night wandering spirit to me."

"That Night Wanderer is one of my subordinates, so it was reasonable for him to be sent here. However, I never thought that the Night Wanderer's target was me..."

Liu Bai was also dumbfounded when he heard this.

He was not unfamiliar with what the City God said, because it was about when he first entered the city.

Together with Master Ma and Liuzi, we sent the old mountain god into the city.

"There was something wrong with that night wandering god. He polluted me before he died, and the altar was stained with blood... Later I found out that it was a trick used by the funeral temple."

"The Funeral Temple has set its sights on our Blood Food City. I can't hide from it... I can't hide from it."

"Then what exactly is going on with this bloody rain?" Liu Bai asked.

After hearing this, the City God let out a bitter smile and leaned against the stone wall. "The blood rain is fake. Now, the blood drops on the wrists of the people are real."

"Ok?"

"Blood-eating city, blood-eating city. It was not until recently that I learned from the people in the funeral temple what this blood-eating city actually means."

Listening to the words of the City God, Liu Bai already had some guesses, as well as conclusions and answers...

However, this answer is a bit heavy and hard to bear.

"You mean, the people with blood on their hands are actually going to offer blood food to the Ten Thousand Corpse Pit?"

As soon as Liu Bai finished asking, the City God suddenly looked up and looked at him in disbelief.

"Ghost...how did Master Ghost know that there was a pit of thousands of corpses under this Blood Food City?"

"I am asking you now, not you asking me."

"Yes... yes, Master Ghost is right. These people are the blood food of the Pit of Ten Thousand Corpses. It's all my fault. It's all my fault." The City God's tears of blood kept flowing without stopping.

"In the beginning, this Blood Food City was not here. It was to the east, at the Maple Leaf Ferry."

"At that time, the Ten Thousand Corpse Pit had not yet been buried. For some people who wanted to steal treasures, the Ten Thousand Corpse Pit was full of treasures. Even if they could just steal a few, they could sell them for a good price."

The City God talked eloquently, "So over time, Maple Leaf Ferry became a town."

"Later, the capital of the State of Chu sent a high-ranking Taoist priest to hold a water and land ceremony, and eventually buried the Ten Thousand Corpse Pit deep underground."

"After the danger was gone, the town at Maple Leaf Ferry moved further and further forward, and finally stopped at the current location of Blood Food City."

"People gather and a market is formed, which is the origin of the Blood Food City."

The City God said it all in one breath.

This was the first time Liu Bai knew the secret. "So, as long as the Ten Thousand Corpse Pit is dug out, all the people with the mark on their hands will die, right?"

The City God smiled bitterly and nodded.

"Can we stop them? Where are those two? Can we just kill them?"

Liu Bai asked.

The City God replied, "If you want to dig a pit of ten thousand corpses, you need enough blood and evil spirits. As for blood, the funeral temple has already killed the Situ family, and the Zhou family has some idle ghosts, so we have gathered all the blood."

"The remaining evil..."

"Does the evil spirit in the old woods need to come down the mountain?" Liu Bai told Xiaocao what he had guessed earlier.

"Do not……"

At this point, the City God took a deep breath, suppressed the distracting thoughts in his mind, and then slowly said: "You don't know how crazy the people in the funeral temple are."

"They have already made preparations to destroy the entire Blood Food City."

"Half of the population will be used as blood food, and the other half will be used to transform into evil spirits so that we can dig out this pit of thousands of corpses!"

"What?" Liu Bai was inevitably a little surprised when he heard this.

"By doing this, aren't they afraid of the state government taking action or retaliation from the State of Chu?"

After Liu Bai asked this question, a trace of despair flashed in the City God's eyes.

"Two years ago, among the Three Kingdoms, only Qin still existed. The other two countries...will no longer exist."

"Otherwise, Master Ghost, think about it, why would Zhuang Yingcheng, as the lord of this Blood Food City, dare to collude with this Funeral Temple?"

"The threat from the funeral temple is one thing, but the bigger threat is... the country will no longer exist, and the world will fall apart."

Liu Bai also fell silent. He had thought about this too.

In today's world, it is difficult for a country's orders to spread beyond the capital. The four corners of the country are divided, the world is in turmoil, and evil spirits are everywhere.

A few years ago, Zhang Cang seemed to have said that he would not be able to mend for much longer.

Liu Bai raised his right hand, and the ghost's wrist was empty.

The ghost body is not blood food, the human body is blood food.

"How does the funeral temple plan to turn half of the people in this city into evil spirits?" Liu Bai continued to ask.

"Ghost soldiers, ghost soldiers passing through."

The City God answered every question now, "They stole the mountain god's seat in Mudong Town, and planned to set up a Yin formation there, gather Yin soldiers, and then stop at Xueshi City."

"That's why they want to take action against the mountain god of Mudong Town and me, the city god."

"As soon as the Yin soldiers arrive, the Yin energy surges, and all the people in the city with higher spirituality will turn into ghosts. By then... that will be the time when the Ten Thousand Corpse Pit will appear in the world."

"What stage are they at now?" Liu Bai's voice was filled with a hint of urgency.

Upon hearing this, the City God raised his head, as if surprised at why the ghost master in front of him behaved like this.

Normally, shouldn't the evil spirit be extremely happy when hearing this?
Why is this...

But no matter how surprised I am, I still have to say what I need to say.

The City God spoke slowly, "When I left yesterday, my left hand and right foot seemed to have already gone to Mudong Town..."

"damn it!"

Liu Bai stood up suddenly and blurted out a traditional Chinese quintessence.

Doesn't this mean that there is no chance? Both their left and right hands have already gone to Mudong Town. As long as they set up the Yin Formation and release the Yin soldiers, they can pass through Xueshi City.

By that time, half of the people had turned into ghosts, and the pit of tens of thousands of corpses under the Blood-Food City had been dug out.

The remaining half of the people were offered as blood food.

How to play then?
What the hell!

Liu Bai even thought, why not just call her mother, this world is a little too scary...

I just came out of Huangliang Town and arrived in Xueshi City, and I have to face all this?
I'm just a three-year-old kid!
"For those who have power, the world can be manipulated by them, while those who have no power are manipulated by the world."

The City God was lying on the ground, curled up, with no more blood or tears left. He just said this sentence blankly.

Liu Bai was about to reach out, but it was too late.

The City God, who was supposed to be holding a sword, turned into a wild dog the next moment, lying alone on the ground, emitting a foul odor, as if he had been rotting for several days.

Liu Bai watched this scene and finally had to stand up, walk out of the stone path, and then punch the stone wall.

The stone road behind him collapsed and rubble fell, burying the City God of Blood-Shining City among the distant mountains and barren hills.

Liu Bai didn't know whether it had done anything wrong or not, but it seemed that one couldn't judge someone else's life by right or wrong.

"Sir, what should we do now?"

Listening to Xiaocao's words, two words popped up in Liu Bai's mind for no reason, which were the two words that Xiaocao said from time to time...massacre!
As long as all the people in this Blood-Food City are slaughtered, without blood and food, and without evil spirits, it seems that this Pit of Ten Thousand Corpses cannot be dug out, right?
As he was thinking, he felt a slight vibration coming from inside Sumeru.

Chessboard of life and death, someone has spoken!
