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

Chapter 138: At worst, I'll just call you mom [ask for monthly votes]

Liu Bai flapped his wings and rose into the air from the stream, taking out the small chessboard at the same time.

Now that he is a ghost and an evil spirit, there is naturally no need to light a fire.

The moment he took out the chessboard of life and death, chess pieces had already appeared on it.

It was still the red ghost who seemed to be imprisoned somewhere in Yunzhou City.

"Black General, Black General, the Blood Food City incident is about to begin!"

"Are you already watching the fun? It's a pity that I'm locked up here. Otherwise, I would have to go and see what the scene is like when the Ten Thousand Corpses Pit is unearthed."

Liu Bai listened to his words and hesitated.

This Red Soldier knows a lot, why not ask him if there is still a chance to turn the situation around?

Before he could speak, another chess piece appeared.

It’s still the black elephant from last time.

So, there are only three people who own the chessboard of life and death near Yunzhou, including myself?

Liu Bai also noticed that the position of the black elephant had changed compared to last time.

Previously, there were two spaces away from Liu Bai's position, but now there is only one space left.

So, this black elephant is heading south, approaching the Blood Food City?

"Old Red Soldier, are you saying that the Ten Thousand Corpse Pit under Blood Food City is going to be dug out?"

Black Elephant's old voice sounded.

"It's almost done. I have to say that this funeral temple is quite capable. This pit of corpses is buried so deep, yet they were able to dig it out."

"Why, you old woman, still want to join in the fun? Forget it, you old bones, so as not to die on the way."

The red ghost has a very poisonous mouth.

So the black elephant sneered, dispersed the chess pieces, and disappeared from the chessboard.

Liu Bai pondered, and finally fell from this high altitude, and came to a mountain top, then condensed a black chess piece, put on the mask, and asked:

"So, this Blood Food City is beyond saving, right?"

"Basically, I guess so. Why, you can't wait to have a feast?"

Perhaps because he thought that both of them were ghosts, the Red Pawn Ghost spoke without any restraint.

"Basically, so there is a way to remedy it?"

"Hey, why are you asking this?"

"Do you still want to save the people in this Blood-Food City?" the Red Pawn Ghost asked in surprise.

Save the people in this city?

Liu Bai didn't have such a grand idea. He just wondered if he could keep his body intact without crying out for his mother.

The human body has been marked with the mark of blood and food. If it were to die, you would become a ghost for a long time.

And... Liu Bai was also thinking about whether he could save Hu Wei, Master Ma, and even Situ Hong and others around him to the best of his ability.

After all, they are already considered the blood food of this Blood Food City.

"Heh, I'm just a little annoyed by those bastards in the funeral temple. If you don't want to say anything, then forget it!"

Liu Bai said this with disdain.

The Red Pawn Ghost laughed and replied, "What a coincidence. I also don't like the Funeral Temple. Okay, wait a minute. I'll look through the book to see if I can find some clues. If possible, Black General, you can go and cause trouble for this Funeral Temple."

"Remember to keep your eyes on the chessboard. I'll call you when I have news."

The Red Pawn Ghost seemed to be a man of impetuous temper. After he finished speaking, the chess piece disappeared from the chessboard.

Seeing this, Liu Bai also dispersed the "Black Generals", took off his mask, and turned to look to the northwest.

That is the direction of Mudong Town.

Faintly, the entire northwest sky was covered by dark clouds, and the sky was dark and the earth was gloomy, with yin energy raging.

The left hands and right feet that had gone to Mudong Town early seemed to have already opened the Yin Formation.

The storm was about to come, and even though Liu Bai was far away, he seemed to feel the gusts of cold wind.

He took one last glance and took a deep breath.

"Let's go back to the city!"

……

"Zuoshou, hurry up! If you don't hurry up, these ghost soldiers will not be able to get out!"

As soon as the right foot finished speaking, the left hand shouted loudly: "It's coming out, it's coming out, catch it quickly."

After he finished speaking, a group of dark energy suddenly appeared in the abyss deep in the Xiaolianzi Mountain.

To say that the evil soldiers are passing through is actually just that.

In fact, it was just the two of them who created the negative energy that gathered like a ghost fire.

All these evil spirits come from the people who died unjustly in this old woods.

After all, if there really were ghost soldiers passing through, then why would there be so much trouble and effort to turn half of the people in the city into ghosts and then dig out the pit of corpses?

It would be enough to just use the Yin soldiers to dig the pit of thousands of corpses.

And the reason why this Yin Formation was set up deep in the Xiaolianzi Mountain in Mudong Town, and then we have to walk from here to the Blood Food City... naturally there is a reason for this.

Every mountain and river has its own feng shui eye.

This old forest is naturally no exception, and Xiaolianzi Mountain is the "dirty eye" in this old forest.

This so-called "dirty eye" is naturally the gathering place of the resentment of all the unjustly died people in this old woods.

This is especially true on Cuiyun Mountain, where the dirty eye has even materialized into a pool of blood.

With his left hand and right foot, he formed a Yin formation and turned into Yin soldiers. Then he could carry the souls and Yin energy of the dead in the old forest out of the mountain and finally come to the Blood Food City.

In the end, it was as if the evil soldiers were passing through, turning half of the people in the city into evil spirits, and thus digging out the pit of thousands of corpses!
So far, although the process has been difficult and complicated, fortunately, everything has gone smoothly.

Now that the Yin Formation is in place and the Yin soldiers have appeared, the next thing left is to drive away the Yin soldiers.

Just like driving corpses, the negative energy in the old woods was driven into the Blood Food City.

By then, a group of ghosts will be raised in the city.

"Left Hand, do you think this trip will go smoothly? Why do I always feel a little uneasy?"

Right Foot looked at the Yin Qi that was constantly forming, and asked thoughtfully.

"Wouldn't it be better if it didn't go well?"

Zuo Shou was a little delighted when he thought about it. "If everything goes smoothly, then what fun is there? Well... although digging out this pit of thousands of corpses is already enough fun."

"Yes, you do have a point!"

After hearing this, the right foot didn't think any more about it and became excited again.

"Hurry up, hurry up. I estimate that tonight, we can drive all these ghost soldiers to the Blood Food City without having to wait until tomorrow morning."

As his left hand spoke, groups of negative energy gradually gathered in the abyss.

"It's a good thing that Master Xiang has resisted the pressure from all sides in Yunzhou City for us, otherwise how could we do things here with peace of mind? Zuoshou, do you think we should give Master Xiang a thank-you gift after we solve this matter?"

"That's for sure. We have to know the rules and know when to advance and retreat." Zuoshou said, nodding his head. "Master Xiangzhu has worked so hard to help us, how can we not give him some thanks?"

"Then what do you think we should give?" said the right foot, in a strange voice, as if he was trying to hold back a laugh, and as if he was hinting at something.

Zuo Shou understood instantly, and then both of them subconsciously moved closer.

Zuo Shou lowered his voice and whispered, "How about giving some of Xiangzhu's wife back to him?"

"Yes, yes, that's what I thought too." The right foot nodded repeatedly, agreeing very much.

"If you give him some of it back, he will definitely be very happy."

"So, which part should we give away this time?" asked Zuoshou.

The right foot replied: "How about the head? The incense master is good to us, we can't be stingy, just give him the head back."

"That's okay too."

Zuo Shou seemed a little regretful, but soon he became happy again, "When the time comes, he will have to thank me!"

"Yes, yes, yes."

After saying this, in addition to the negative energy that was constantly forming in the abyss, two sinister laughs were also heard.

It sounded like a ghost crying.

……

Blood Food City, Kangshoufang, and Red Candle Shop.

As soon as Liu Bai got home, he asked Situ Hong to lock the door. He wanted to talk to Aunt Huang about this and see if she had any way to stop it.

At least ask her if she has any means to save her life.

But then Situ Hong, who was going to lock the door, stopped, and the room became dark.

somebody is coming?

Why doesn't Situ Hong speak?
Liu Bai, who had already walked to the backyard, suddenly turned around and saw that there was indeed a guest at the door.

He is tall, with loose hair, wearing a snow-white robe and holding a cloth bag in his hand. Behind him, there seems to be another figure.

And this person... is also a Yin-walker.

"Is there anything I can do for you?" Liu Bai walked out from the inner room with a questioning look in his eyes.

At the same time, he also felt something was wrong, because when Situ Hong saw this man, he seemed a little stunned, and only came back to his senses when he heard Liu Bai's words.

But before Situ Hong could speak, the man took a step forward, clasped his hands together, and bowed deeply to Liu Bai.

"Situ Liang, the scum of the family... kowtow to the master of the family!"

After saying this, he actually knelt down on both knees, and then kowtowed heavily.

Liu Bai: “???”

"Are you Situ Liang?!"

Indeed, Liu Bai was still very surprised to see him, and he was even more surprised by the figure following behind Situ Liang.

His appearance was familiar, and at this moment he was kneeling on the ground obediently, shouting "Greetings to the head of the family".

He is... Situ Busheng!
Not only Liu Bai was surprised, but Situ Hong was also surprised.

She opened her mouth several times before she called out "Dad", then looked at Situ Busheng behind her and called "Ancestor", but the Ancestor didn't respond at all.

"Get up, get up and talk." Liu Bai was also surprised. He didn't expect that Situ Liang would come back at this critical moment.

But it's good to be back. The next thing... does need manpower. With Situ Liang's ability to nourish the Yin God, he can be a helper to some extent.

"Thank you, Master."

Situ Liang stood up, and then Situ Busheng behind him stood up as well.

As if he had noticed Liu Bai's strange look, Situ Liang sighed and took the initiative to explain: "The ancestor is indeed dead, but not completely dead."

"I used the corpse-driving technique to turn him into a corpse puppet while he was still warm after death, so he still retained a trace of consciousness, but unfortunately, it's not much longer."

As Situ Liang spoke, he reached out and patted Situ Busheng gently on the back of his head.

Situ Busheng staggered, then shuddered violently. When he looked at Liu Bai again, his eyes regained their spirit.

There was some excitement and some bitterness, and then the first sentence was, "Sir, I can no longer serve you."

After hearing these words, Liu Bai would be lying if he said he wasn't moved.

But it was useless to say all this at this time, he just said: "Don't worry, I will avenge you."

"Thank you, sir."

After Situ Busheng finished speaking, his originally clear eyes instantly became cloudy, and then his entire chin drooped down as if it was dislocated, and his saliva could not stop flowing down.

Situ Liang patted him on the back of his head again, and his eyes became dull again. He even took the initiative to put his chin back.

"This is the only way. It's better than dying completely."

Situ Liang's tone was regretful, but it was indeed true.

"It's already very good." Liu Bai said, and then looked at the cloth bag on the ground.

Situ Liang tactfully opened it, but to his surprise, there was a human head inside, a bloody head.

Liu Bai was also familiar with his appearance. He was Mei Yan, the head of Wufu Hall.

So, after he escaped from Zhou Rulong last night, he ran into Situ Liang's hands?

"I happened to meet this Master Mei on the road, and thinking that meeting is fate, I killed him."

"I'll see Sister Hong later, so I can have a greeting gift."

Situ Liang forced a smile. Obviously, he already had some understanding of the situation in the city.

"Without further delay, let's go to the Dagger Gang now."

As soon as he stepped out of the door, Liu Bai discovered that the sky in the entire Blood Food City had darkened.

The sky was covered with a thick layer of dark clouds, and even the ground was windy.

There were few pedestrians on the street and many shops were closed.

If this weather happened in summer, it would be fine, but it is already autumn, how could there be such weather?
Situ Hong had no idea what was going on and was still talking about the weird weather.

Liu Bai knew that it was most likely the left hand and right foot that had already taken action...

Maybe tonight, these ghost soldiers will be able to reach the Blood Food City?

But now is obviously not the time to explain this matter, because I will have to explain it again when I meet Sister Hong and the others.

"Gotta hurry up."

Liu Bai threw out a paper horse, which turned into a carriage after landing. Several people got on it one after another. Situ Liang drove the carriage. On this windy day, the carriage left Kangshoufang.

"..."

After a while, in the hall of the Short Sword Martial Arts School.

Sister Hong, Zhou Rulong, Situ Busheng, Situ Liang, Situ Hong and Gongsun Shi sat around and listened carefully to Liu Bai's story.

From the formation of this blood-eating city to how the funeral temple finally dug out the pit of thousands of corpses.

No matter how big or small the matter was, it was explained clearly one by one.

After listening to this, Sister Hong and the others were also dumbfounded. They had never expected that there was such a profound reason behind this.

"So now, the two men, Left Hand and Right Foot, have already activated the Yin Formation, and the Yin soldiers are about to arrive at our Blood Food City?"

Zhou Rulong looked up at the lanterns outside that were blown all over the ground and asked in a low voice.

"Is Zhuang Yingcheng still in the city?" asked Situ Liang who had just returned.

"He ran away." Sister Hong said with a sullen face, "He was beaten by a ghost last night, and he never came back after escaping. Now it seems that he has already escaped."

"What about us now?"

Situ Hong, who had gathered the five energies to perfection, heard the news for the first time and was thinking about whether he could get involved as soon as possible to help out.

Zhou Rulong, Situ Liang and others all looked at Sister Hong. She was the strongest one present and knew the most.

"I heard that you joined the Paper Umbrella Society. Can you help us in any way?" Sister Hong looked at Situ Liang and asked directly.

The latter smiled bitterly, "It's difficult. Our Paper Umbrella Club is actually similar to the Children's Gang. Apart from taking on jobs, the Paper Umbrella Club won't care about our lives."

"Of course, if I had known this news earlier, I could have tried to find the rest of the Paper Umbrella Group and hire someone to kill someone."

"That's no use."

Sister Hong cursed, then looked at Liu Bai, with a hint of a smile on her face.

"Tell me what you think. We will listen to you."

After hearing this, Liu Bai stood up at the right time and stood on the chair.

Several people looked over immediately.

In this hall, the people present can all be considered as his own people, so Liu Bai did not hesitate to be polite and directly ordered:
"I do have some ideas, you just need to listen to them."

"The ghost soldiers are probably still on their way south and haven't completely entered the city yet, so I think Sister Hong, you and Patriarch Zhou should go and stop those ghost soldiers. If you can, stop them. Anyway, saving your life is the most important thing."

"Situ Liang, take Patriarch Situ to the City Lord's Mansion. I suspect that the two funeral temple people will have other arrangements, and the City Lord's Mansion is located in the center of the city... It is very likely. You can just go and take a look. If nothing else, go find Sister Hong and the others."

"Gongsun Shi and Situ Hong, you two lead your Short Knife Gang members to drive out all the people in the city, as many as you can."

"No matter what, these people haven't turned into ghosts yet. As long as we drive them out early, even if they turn into ghosts, they won't stay in this pit of corpses. It won't be easy to dig them out all at once!"

Liu Bai finished speaking in one breath, and the other people looked at him as if he was a ghost.

After all, they also had some of the ideas that Liu Bai mentioned, but they were all scattered.

For example, let's try to see if these ghost soldiers can stop this. But if we want to be as comprehensive as Liu Bai and take all aspects into consideration...it may take more time.

After all, they had just received the news and they hadn't fully digested it yet.

"Okay." Sister Hong was the first to react.

Then the rest of the people also spoke.

At this point, there was no other way, and everyone present agreed and then left quickly.

In a blink of an eye, Liu Bai was the only one left in this huge hall.

But soon, Sister Hong came back. She came in front of Liu Bai with a smile in her eyes.

She squatted down and they looked at each other at eye level.

Then she stretched out her hands and held Liu Bai's little face, "Don't worry, with your mother here, it's hard for you to die. Of course, the same is true for me. Didn't you see that Aunt Huang turned into a ghost last time? Your mother saved me, didn't she?"

"So there's no need to be sad."

"As for the deaths of the rest of the people in this city..." Sister Hong said as she slowly stood up, and then said in a cold tone: "This is how the world is, human life is cheaper than grass."

"There are always people who worry that everyone in the world will die... Let's not talk about whether it is possible or not. Even if everyone really dies, what will happen?"

Hearing this, Liu Bai raised his head and asked seriously, "So what?"

Sister Hong bent her legs slightly and said with a smile, "If all the people really died, then another kind of people would soon rise in this world. We now call that kind of 'people' evil spirits."

After listening to this, Liu Bai understood what Sister Hong wanted to express.

He just shook his head, "That's not what I'm worried about."

"Then why are you looking so sad?"

"I'm just worried that without my mother's help, I can't even get out of this Blood Food City..." Liu Bai said this with a little sadness.

Sister Hong also understood, but she felt like laughing, so she reached out and pinched Liu Bai's little face, then said:

"Then have you ever thought that what you are going through now is actually because of your mother, who doesn't want you to go that far?"

"what?!"

Liu Bai looked up suddenly, he thought of something.

But Zhong Erhong, or Huang Yiyi, didn't say much. She turned and walked out the door. "Just stay here and wait for good news from Sister Hong!"

Liu Bai's eyes flickered, and he didn't take out the book given by Madam Liu until he could no longer see Sister Hong.

When the front was opened, the words written by Madam Liu were visible.

As Liu Bai watched, it was as if he could hear his mother's voice in his ears.

"Little man, what are you afraid of if you encounter trouble outside? At most you can just call mom!

Don’t always worry about this and that, wondering if you are incompetent and always want to call mom.

Let me tell you, being able to be reborn into my place is your greatest accomplishment."

Yes, at worst you can just call me mom.

Liu Bai felt relieved after reading these words, and then he put the book away. But at this moment.

The cold wind at the door suddenly grew stronger.

It even seemed as if the roof was about to be blown off.

In the northwest of Xueshi City, the heat wave was rolling, and a Yin-nourishing God, a Yin-walking man, had ignited the fire of life there.

Liu Bai walked on the sweeping wind to the door, then put his hand in front of his chest.

In an instant, he turned into a ghost and soared into the sky.

……

at the same time.

In an old pavilion in Danshan, a man in his sixties was sitting, carrying a basket full of kitchen knives on his back.

At this moment, he lit an oil lamp, and the dim light illuminated the surroundings.

While dispelling the darkness, it also prevents the evil spirits hiding in the dark from approaching.

He seemed to be half asleep and half awake, as if he remembered something.

"Blood Food City, Situ Family...it's time to collect the knife money."
