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

Chapter 142: Madam Liu's Identity [asking for monthly tickets]

As for his mother, Liu Bai felt that except for his biggest secret, he should not keep anything else to her.

Especially this chessboard of life and death, which is a bit weird.

You can't hide it from your mother. If you get into trouble because of hiding it, you're done for!
So after Liu Bai thought about it, he immediately felt that he should tell his mother about this.

Even if it didn't shock her, it would at least make her look sideways.

But now, how come I am the one who is shocked in the end? !
This precious chessboard of life and death is one that I would have picked up by accident, but how come my mother also has one?

So what role does my mother play on this chessboard?
Red Pawn Ghost?
That's definitely impossible. He should be in Yunzhou City.

Is that a black elephant?

My mother also hid her identity on this chessboard... When I think about it, it really is possible!

"Mom, are you the black elephant?" Liu Bai asked quickly, "I am the black general. The black general is me!"

Liu Bai shouted excitedly.

If that's the case, it would be so boring to cheat people on the chessboard by myself, especially if my mother joins in.

And if that's the case, even if I go to Yunzhou City next time, I can still contact my mother anytime and anywhere.

It’s a pity that this life and death chessboard does not have a “private chat” function, only a “group chat” function.

If you speak up there, the red ghosts can hear you.

But it doesn't matter. As long as I can find a way to kill everyone on the chessboard, leaving only my mother and I, this "group chat" can be turned into a "private chat".

"What do you mean by black general and black elephant?" Madam Liu was a little confused.

"My queen, how come you also have this chessboard of life and death? How come Xiaocao doesn't know about it?" Xiaocao asked ignorantly, his eyes wide open.

"There are so many things you don't know."

Madam Liu said unhappily.

Liu Bai placed his chessboard on the table and said, "So there are things that mother doesn't know. I'll tell you now."

"Oh, you are so arrogant." Madam Liu said with disdain.

Liu Bai had long been immune to these verbal attacks, and he immediately told Madam Liu everything he had heard from the Red Pawn Ghost.

He even revealed the general information about the Red Pawn Ghost and the Black Elephant Old Woman.

For example, this red ghost was imprisoned in Yunzhou City. He knew a lot, but he also liked to show off in front of people.

The old woman with the black elephant seems to be on top of Mount Xian.

Although Madam Liu spoke with disdain, she listened seriously.

After Liu Bai finished speaking, she said, "I got this a long time ago, and I left it in Xumi without taking care of it. I didn't expect it to be useful."

"So mother, you haven't tried it yet, and you don't know what your identity is?"

"I don't know." Madam Liu said truthfully.

After saying this, she did not hesitate, and with a thought, she concentrated her chess pieces on the chessboard.

She is a ghost, an evil spirit, so it is convenient to use her.

Black gas surged on the chessboard and finally landed at one point, which was exactly the position where Liu Bai's "black general" chess piece was previously located.

At this moment, a chess piece seemed to have been replaced in that position.

It’s… a black “shi”.

I am the black general, but my mother is the black soldier?

Is there something special about this?
The red pawn ghost seemed to be staring at the chessboard all day long as it had nothing to do. As Madam Liu's chess piece appeared on the board, the red pawn chess piece also appeared in its old position.

"what?"

"There's a new guy here, also from Blood Food City. What's going on recently? There haven't been any new guys in more than a decade, but recently two have come in a row."

The red ghost's magnetic voice sounded.

Xiaocao and Liubai both shut up tactfully, but Madam Liu didn't say anything either. She just glanced at him and was about to put it away.

Liu Bai placed his left hand horizontally in front of him, put his right hand under the palm of his left hand, and made a stop gesture.

Then he took a few steps out the door.

Immediately afterwards, another black chess piece appeared on the chessboard, in the same position as Madam Liu.

Black general.

Then Madam Liu heard a rough voice coming from outside the door, "Hey, there's actually a new person here."

"It's near this Blood Food City. What does this mean? It means that our Blood Food City is blessed with outstanding people and beautiful scenery."

The sound first sounded outside the door, and then it sounded again on the chessboard.

Madam Liu listened and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, but it was quickly suppressed again.

The Red Pawn Ghost's voice sounded again, "Blood Food City is truly a place of outstanding people and beautiful scenery. Haha, underneath it is a place of outstanding people and beautiful scenery called the Ten Thousand Corpse Pit."

"Why, little Red Soldier, do you have any problem with our Blood Food City?" The rough voice matched the reckless tone.

Madam Liu thought of Liu Bai saying this with the mask on, and couldn't help laughing.

"So what if you have an opinion?"

"Black General, we have already agreed. If you have the guts, come to Yunzhou City and we will have a duel to see who is better and who is the better!"

As the Red Pawn Ghost's voice fell, a barely perceptible murderous intent flashed across Madam Liu's body.

But soon, another voice came from outside the door, "Come to Blood Food City if you have the guts. I'll let you use one hand... No, I'll let you use both hands! You coward!"

Liu Bai even wanted to say that even if he just lay there and let him kill him, he wouldn't be able to kill him.

Although my mother cannot travel far away, I can lure the enemies from afar to this Blood Food City.

After all, in this Blood Food City, my mother is invincible.

"Heh, Black General, I have to say that you are a bit arrogant. Okay, just wait for me."

The Red Pawn Ghost was very arrogant, and Liu Baixiao was even more arrogant, and he even looked a little fearless.

As they were fighting, the black elephant chess piece also emerged.

Liu Bai remembered that a few days ago, when the Blood Food City's Ten Thousand Corpse Pit was dug out, she also appeared in the Blood Food City... because on this chessboard, the position of her chess piece overlapped with her own.

And now, the black elephant appeared in the square above him, and it was estimated that he would soon return to the top of Mount Dan.

"Heisi, why don't you speak?"

"Are you a human or a ghost?"

Hearing her asking about her mother, Liu Bai shut up.

The red pawn, who was just arguing, changed his tone the next moment and asked curiously: "That's right, black pawn, this is a chessboard of life and death. If you want to know something, just ask directly."

After a moment's silence, a cold voice suddenly rang out from the chessboard.

She was answering the black elephant.

"What's there to say?"

"I am human."

After saying this, the chess piece disappeared.

"No, why are you running away as soon as you show up like the black general did before? Aren't you curious about this chessboard of life and death?"

The red soldier was still talking.

The black elephant laughed as usual and disappeared.

Only Liu Bai and the red pawn were left on the chessboard.

The Red Soldier was probably idle, so he turned to Liu Bai and said, "Black General, I see that you have some strength. When will you come to Yunzhou City to play around? Why are you always staying in Xueshi City?"

"It will come. Why, are you so impatient to die?" Liu Bai sneered.

Immediately afterwards, he saw Madam Liu coming out of the house after he had just finished laughing, and he immediately showed an embarrassed expression.

This feeling is like bragging online and then being caught offline and then being socially dead...

Madam Liu's mouth twitched slightly. She was too embarrassed to watch and went back to the kitchen.

Only when she was here, without anyone else around, could she help but laugh out loud.

But Liu Bai definitely couldn't hear this voice, as he was still chatting with the Red Pawn Ghost.

"Black General, you haven't told me yet, how did you solve the corpse pit in Blood Food City?"

"Haha, you want to know? Come to our Blood Food City, and I'll tell you when you get there."

Liu Bai thought that after he came over, he would let his mother kill him, and then he would eat his chessboard, so that his talent could be improved a little more.

The red ghost sneered.

"Yunzhou City has sent several groups of troops, but none of them have returned. You must have a master in Xueshi City. Haha, how can a little ghost like you know about this?"

"Okay, I don't think you dare to come to Yunzhou City, so stop bragging."

After the Red Pawn Ghost finished speaking, he scattered his chess pieces without waiting for Liu Bai to reply.

Liu Bai didn't feel anything. There was nothing to worry about in Xueshi City, so the next step would definitely be to go to Yunzhou City.

I'll think about it when the time comes and see if I can get this red pawn out.

After taking it out, take it away in one wave.

On the contrary, Xiaocao was so angry that he kept cursing and asked Liu Bai to go to Yunzhou City as soon as possible to kill this red ghost.

Liu Bai put away the chessboard and went to the kitchen. Madam Liu had already prepared lunch, and Liu Bai helped to clean it up, while asking, "Mom, what the red ghost said, that if you kill the owner of this chessboard and devour the other party's chessboard, you can improve your talent. Is this true?"

"it is true."

"This chessboard was originally created for the purpose of raising Gu." Madam Liu seemed to know something.

"Then there won't be any bad effects, right?"

"No."

"That's great. Even if I go to Yunzhou City, I can talk to my mother anytime."

Liu Bai was very happy. Madam Liu glanced at his figure and didn't say anything.

You can't talk during lunch, because my mother said that she doesn't like children who talk during meals. Liu Bai has always remembered this, so he waited until lunch was over before he said:
"Mom, take a look at my Heart Fire Ape, there seems to be something wrong."

After Liu Bai finished speaking, he thought about it and a beam of black fire flew out from his chest and fell to the ground.

The Heart Fire Ape, whose body was burning with black flames and filled with tyrannical energy, appeared in the room.

At first it was very arrogant. It stretched out its right hand and grabbed the black stick that was as high as its eyebrow in its palm.

But when it looked up and saw Madam Liu, it immediately wilted.

He leaned on a stick that reached his eyebrows with both hands, lowered his head, stood upright with his feet, and even looked like a monkey with its tail between its legs.

Madam Liu seemed to have known all this for a long time and was not surprised. She glanced at it and said, "How does your Heart Fire Ape compare to other Heart Fire Apes?"

"Mine is very strong, much stronger. It can suppress their Heart Fire Ape." Liu Bai said firmly.

"Now you know why I let you out, right?" Madam Liu raised her hand, and the dishes and chopsticks on the table were clean, and then put away in the kitchen.

"If you were with me, I would never have thought that you would be suitable for these energy-gathering objects."

"But if you go out on your own, these are your opportunities and your luck, so you can find the most suitable Qi-gathering object for you."

"But it's very difficult." Liu Bai nodded and said, "Ever since I found those pages of the book at Situ's house and gathered the Heart Fire Qi, I can no longer gather the other Qi."

That’s because a few days ago, after Sister Hong became the city lord, Liu Bai asked her to help find the rest of the Qi gathering objects in the city.

This naturally includes the previous Short Knife Gang, the Zhou Family and even the Wufu Hall.

But in the end, he still couldn't find one that Liu Bai could use.

"This is because if you want to gather the remaining four qi, you have to find the remaining pages."

"The rest of the pages? So difficult?" Liu Bai stared, a little surprised. "This is almost like looking for a needle in a haystack."

"Is it difficult?" Madam Liu said with a smile, "This is the path you chose yourself. No matter how difficult it is, you have to go on it yourself."

"If you were not in a hurry to gather Qi at the beginning and did not choose his things, but chose other miscellaneous things, then the Qi-gathering things would not be so difficult to find."

"But you are in a hurry to gather energy, and when you see a suitable one, you just use it directly. There is nothing I can do, I can only go down this path to the end."

Liu Bai always felt that his mother was gloating.

"Their family? Mother, what you mean is, is there anything particular about my energy-gathering item?" Liu Bai asked curiously.

"Well, this Qi-gathering thing of yours was actually created by a ghost walker a long time ago. How should I put it? At that time, in his era, if his name was mentioned in the south of Chujiang River, no matter if it was a ghost walker or an evil spirit, they would retreat."

After Madam Liu finished speaking, she thought about it for a moment and then nodded firmly.

"South of the Chu River... is so strong? That means he is basically the strongest in the entire Chu State, right?" Liu Bai was a little shocked.

"About the same. Moreover, he was actually one level lower than the highest level Yin-walker in Chu State at that time. So, you should know how powerful his method is."

"I just didn't expect that you would have such luck in this small Blood Food City."

As Madam Liu said this, there was a hint of satisfaction in her eyes.

"Is that person called...

Liu Bai recalled the history books he had read, and finally found the person mentioned by Madam Liu from those historical materials.

Black Tomb.

Tombs in cemetery.

Judging from historical records, what Madam Liu said was not an exaggeration, and was even a little restrained.

Because what is recorded in history books is even more exaggerated, for example, it was common for a man to break into the Chu Imperial Palace alone.

The most outstanding achievement was going deep into the forbidden throne and returning unscathed.

Some even call him the most powerful ghost walker in the world.

"It's him." Madam Liu nodded slightly.

Liu Bai clenched his fists after listening to this. "It's a little difficult, but the method is really good."

"Well, I happen to have a fragment here, you can take it and learn. As for the rest..." Madam Liu thought for a while and said, "There is a Mu family in Yunzhou City. Someone in the Mu family's ancestors once learned martial arts under the black tomb. There should be some inheritance in the family."

"You'll have to find the rest yourself. I don't even know if the Mu family still exists. After all, the last time I went to Yunzhou City was hundreds of years ago."

There was a hint of reminiscence in Madam Liu's eyes.

"Okay, don't worry, I will find it myself."

"Just to find the original of this torn page? That shouldn't be the case..." Liu Bai felt that finding the original was a bit too exaggerated.

“What do you think?” Madam Liu seemed to laugh angrily, “Just find someone who has inherited it and worshipped it. Originally… hehe, it’s in his tomb. When you have the ability in the future, you can definitely take it.”

Grave robbing?

Liu Bai silently took note of this and didn't ask any more questions.

Madam Liu then said:

"It's just that his path... didn't work out either. If you want to take this path, you'll have to make your own way. Have you thought it through?"

Go it yourself?

No, the plug-in will help me break through. Even if my realm is not good, I can still be a numerical monster... Liu Bai smiled and nodded, "My child has made up his mind. When gathering Qi, we must gather the strongest Qi."

“It doesn’t matter if the road is a little difficult.”

"Okay." Madam Liu's smile grew even wider, and then she flipped her hand, and a few torn pages of the book appeared in her hand.

Liu Bai only took a glance and felt the familiar attraction.

This... is indeed my energy-gathering thing!
He jumped up and grabbed it, shouting, "Thank you, mother!"

After getting the Qi-gathering object, Liu Bai sensed it a little and realized that it was not a water-based object, but a gold-based object.

That is to say, what is gathered by using this qi-gathering object is not the kidney water pig, but the lung golden dragon.

For a moment, Liu Bai wished he could try it right now.

"Come in the evening. I'll call your Aunt Huang later. We haven't seen each other for such a long time." Madam Liu said casually.

Just mentioning her, Liu Bai thought of something again, scratched his head, and shouted: "Mom..."

"explain."

"There seems to be something wrong with Aunt Huang." Under Madam Liu's puzzled gaze, Liu Bai immediately expressed all his guesses about Huang Yiyi.

From the first time he exposed his ghost body in front of him and met her, and then to the final battle in this Blood Food City.

The more Liu Bai spoke, the more the smile in Madam Liu's eyes became.

At the very end, Liu Bai asked, "Mother, does Aunt Huang know your true identity? Do you want me to tell her? This doesn't seem very good."

"It's okay, that's just her nature."

"She doesn't know. Don't tell her now. Wait until she really has some wrong thoughts, then tell her."

Madam Liu seemed to have some kind of evil taste, for as she spoke she herself started laughing first.

"OK then."

Liu Bai didn't insist. Since his mother said so, he naturally didn't care.

After a while, Madam Liu left and came back again. When she came back again, there was one more person beside her.

It was Zhong Erhong, or Huang Yiyi, who was a head taller than Madam Liu.

"I remember the last time I came to this yard was several years ago. At that time, Xiaobai was only this big."

As she spoke, she gestured with her hand.

"Now in the blink of an eye, Xiaobai has grown so big." Zhong Erhong said with a sigh. At first, she thought Liu Bai was weird for growing so fast.

But later he died, was resurrected by Madam Liu, and even had a new body.

She could accept it all.

Finally, not long after talking, Huang Yiyi turned the topic to the "handsome ghost king".

Liu Bai listened and looked at his mother again.

I found that she clearly knew everything, but she had to pretend that she was hearing it for the first time... It's true that this woman is born to be an actor.

Female ghosts are no exception.

For the rest of the afternoon, Madam Liu and Huang Yiyi seemed to have endless things to talk about.

It was not until after dinner that Huang Yiyi caught Liu Bai and had a good time with her, and then shared with Mrs. Liu some of his experiences in raising children.

After listening to this, Liu Bai couldn't help but ask curiously:

"Aunt Huang, you should have children too, right?"

That should be the case. After all, Aunt Huang was her wet nurse at the time. If she didn't have children of her own, where would the milk come from?
