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

Chapter 150 The news given by Madam Liu [asking for monthly votes]

This matter... Nowadays, very few people in the sect know about it. What the other members of the sect know is that the Laba Sect has been harboring grievances for a long time, which led to this incident.

The reason why Qiu Qianhai knew this was because he had a good relationship with his superior.

We lived nearby, so he only knew about it when I mentioned it on the way back.

And now, Liu Bai, who had been staying at home, actually casually mentioned this matter. How could he not be surprised?

"To be honest, the reason I came to Yunzhou City is because I do have a little bit of influence and...friends in this city."

Liu Bai smiled and said, "Of course, you are also one of my friends."

When Qiu Qianhai nodded, he also thought of Liu Bai's age and strength. He could guess that Liu Bai must have an extraordinary background.

So having power in this state capital...that's normal.

"Okay, Liu Bai, please continue talking. I'm listening." Qiu Qianhai calmed down and sat down again.

"In your Shuihuo Sect, is there anyone who has a better relationship with you and whose status is higher than yours?"

"There are... people like me. In the Water and Fire Sect, I am just an ordinary hemp-clothed member. Above me, there are green-clothed followers, blue-clothed followers, scarlet-red and purple-clothed followers, and so on."

"I have a good relationship with a man in green who is ghostwriting."

Qiu Qianhai tells everything he knows.

Liu Bai listened while peeling peanuts, and then said: "That's fine, actually in your case... that member was killed by the Laba Sect."

"What?!" Although Qiu Qianhai had prepared himself mentally, he was still a little surprised.

"That person was hidden by the funeral temple in the stable of Xiuchun Tower in the city. He should not be dead yet. If this can help you, you can try to find him. Of course, you can't cover it up, so you have to share the credit..."

Liu Bai told all the news he heard from the Red Pawn Ghost.

Qiu Qianhai's eyes were wide open, and he kept thinking about the feasibility of this matter. After a long while, he hesitated and asked:

"Liu...Liu Bai, let me ask you one more question. How sure are you of this news?"

"Seventy percent."

Liu Bai had thought about this problem a long time ago. It was just a test, and judging from the performance of the Red Pawn Ghost on the chessboard before.

In this regard, he should not dare to lie again.

Unless he doesn't want to be on this chessboard anymore.

"it is good!"

Qiu Qianhai has the courage to make a name for himself in Yunzhou City.

For him, this is just an attempt. If it succeeds, it will be a great benefit.

If you fail, it is also an attempt, and your superiors can see your efforts.

He wouldn't lose out anyway, and the most important point was that he could see that Liu Bai wanted him to go.

So he agreed immediately.

"Okay, I'll go now."

"Okay." Liu Bai didn't pretend to try to keep him.

Qiu Qianhai was also decisive. After saying "yes", he turned around and went back to his room. After tidying up a bit, he changed to a new copper coin magic sword, and went out again with the Ruyi magic mirror and spirit flag all over his body.

Liu Bai also told him that he was going out for a walk and would come back after dark.

The more Qiu Qianhai listened, the more certain he became that Liu Bai wanted him to go to the stable of Xiuchun Tower to take a look.

The two of them went out separately, and Liu Bai wandered around the south of Yunzhou City for an afternoon.

It’s not that he didn’t want to go somewhere else, but he hadn’t even finished touring the south of the city in the whole afternoon.

In the end he did see it and learned a lot of things.

For example, there is no ghost market in the city of Yunzhou, because there is no need for one. There are many people who worship the underworld in this city, so there are special streets for worshipping the underworld.

The shops there, and the things they sell, are all related to ghost walking.

Liu Bai walked around for a few rounds and bought a few things that were suitable for his own use.

Finally, when he came out of Zouyin Street, Liu Bai asked many local people along the way what the specialty of Yunzhou City was.

After asking this question, he then asked which shop’s specialty is the best.

After all, it's a rare trip far away, so I need to buy some gifts for my mother, right?

Besides, my mother hasn’t been here for hundreds of years. If I don’t bring something back, it would be too unfair to her.

After asking around for a long time, he finally found the place.

As soon as Liu Bai entered the shop, he smelled a refreshing fragrance.

Then a woman in her forties came out from inside. She was wearing a flowery dress and had rouge on her cheeks.

She smiled broadly even though we had just met.

"Oh, whose young man is this? He is so handsome."

Seeing that she was about to hold his hand, Liu Bai suddenly lit the life fire and then extinguished it. The smile on the aunt's face immediately froze, and even her voice became much more restrained.

"This... this young master, come in and see... what do you need?"

The grass behind him giggled. Liu Bai walked around and finally picked out two boxes of special lotus cakes from this cake shop that were only sold in Yunzhou City.

Then I went to another place and picked out a set of tea sets made of exquisite openwork porcelain, as well as the cloud tea produced on Mount Dan.

Things like pastries are my mother's favorite.

When he was in Huangliang Town before, Liu Bai often saw Madam Liu going to the Yan family shop to buy cakes.

As for tea, usually when it rains, my mother will make a pot of tea for me. Liu Bai learned this from years of observation.

So my mother will definitely like the exquisite carved tea set paired with this cloud tea.

But before leaving, Liu Bai looked at the flowery dress that the aunt was wearing. He suddenly had an idea, so he went to the cloth shop next door and bought a few pieces of identical cloth.

If my mother wears this, her temperament as the most beautiful girl in Huangliang Town will immediately come out.

When Liu Bai thought of this appearance, he wanted to laugh.

When Xiao Cao saw this, she murmured behind his back, "Hey, the young master is going to sing at home again."

What Xiaocao meant by singing was that Liu Bai was going to be beaten by Lady Liu again.

Liu Bai put things into Xumi one by one as he walked, and then said, "It's okay, I will say that you picked the cloth, Xiaocao."

"I told her no, but Xiaocao kept saying she wanted to buy it for her mother, so I had no choice but to buy it."

Xiaocao's smile froze on her face.

"Sir... Sir, Xiaocao thinks we need to live in peace. What do you think, Sir?" Xiaocao said in a flattering tone.

Now it was Liu Bai's turn to be happy.

After shopping for an afternoon, in addition to gaining a lot of knowledge, I also bought these few gifts.

It was getting dark very quickly, and Liu Bai found an open space and parked the carriage.

The carriage became bigger as it landed, scaring the people around him. He jumped on the carriage, but he forgot the way. He hurried along the way and asked many people before he found the alley where Qiu Qianhai lived.

When we came back, the moon was already halfway up the mountain.

Qiu Qianhai's house was on fire. He had already returned and the carriage was parked at the door. Before Liu Bai even had time to knock on the door, he had already driven in and asked with a worried look on his face:
"Are you okay? If you hadn't come back, I would have wanted to look for you."

Liu Bai was too embarrassed to say that he was lost, so he calmly parked the carriage and said, "I met some old friends and had a chat. Don't worry about me, I'll be fine."

"Hey, sir, are your old friends in those alleys? I've been wandering around for a long time but can't get out. Humph, even Xiaocao feels ashamed!"

Xiaocao never misses an opportunity to be mean.

"Sir, if you had believed the path pointed out by Xiaocao earlier, you could have returned at least an hour earlier!"

The unreasonable little grass became arrogant, and this time it was right, it spoke even more harshly.

But unfortunately, Liu Bai pretended not to hear and just went into the house. Qiu Qianhai then asked about whether Liu Bai had eaten dinner.

When Liu Bai said he had eaten it, he quickly closed the door and said excitedly, "Liu Bai, it's true!"

"Yan Changkun really didn't die, but was knocked unconscious and thrown into the stable."

"Where is he now?" Liu Bai felt relieved after hearing the news. It seemed that this red ghost was still somewhat reliable.

At least there is no more false news. It seems that the transaction on the chessboard of life and death can continue.

"Brother Chai and I sent him back to the church. By the way, Brother Chai is the Green-clothed ghostwriter I told you about, who has a good relationship with me."

"I gave the lion's share to Brother Chai. Brother Chai said he would give me all the beads after receiving the reward. Liu Bai, I will give them to you after they are distributed. We in the Water and Fire Sect are generous. With this contribution, I'm afraid you will get five blood beads."

Qiu Qianhai seemed really excited, and his words were somewhat incoherent.

Not to mention the beads, just this mission made Brother Chai owe a favor, and gave him face in front of the pole holders in the church.

For Qiu Qianhai, this is already a huge benefit.

Liu Bai listened but shook his head, "I'll give it to you. I don't need these things."

With his mother's advice, Liu Bai didn't use the Yin Pearl to improve his Qi and blood. As for buying things...

Liu Bai thought as his mind sank into Sumeru, looking at the blood-colored Yin Pearl that his mother had prepared for him, which was almost as big as a small mountain.

Liu Bai was just curious about how many Yin Meridians his mother had cleared before to gather these.

"This...that's okay."

Liu Bai said no, and Qiu Qianhai didn't try to persuade him anymore.

It was just like when he was learning boxing from Master Ma before. When Liu Bai said no, he really meant it.

Instead of being falsely polite, he still said, "These blood beads are enough for me to burn my spirit body to perfection, and even the five qi can be gathered into two or three qi."

"Thank you, Liu Bai. I, Qiu Qianhai, will definitely repay you for your kindness!"

He said it seriously, it didn't seem like he was joking at all.

Liu Bai just waved his hand and said nonchalantly, "We are all friends. You are alienating us by saying these things."

Qiu Qianhai was silent for a long time, and no one knew what he was thinking. He just said "OK" at the end.

"Nothing else happened, right?" Liu Bai asked again.

"Nothing else, by the way... when I first found Yan Changkun, he said that everyone treated him like a brother, and called him Brother Yan.

But when he was in trouble, none of his friends came to look for him, but I, who had no relationship with him, went to save him."

“So he told me a thing.”

When Qiu Qianhai remembered it, he immediately said it out.

"What?"

Liu Bai remembered that Hongzu Gui said that Yan Changkun also had some relationship with the Mu family, or that Sunrise Mountain.

Hearing Qiu Qianhai's words again at this moment, he could vaguely guess that what Yan Changkun said was most likely related to Sunset Mountain.

"To be precise, he told me an address." Under Liu Bai's gaze, Qiu Qianhai said slowly:

"Meet the real mountain and visit the moth-eater temple."

Liu Bai frowned as he listened, "Huizhen Mountain, Minglong Temple... do you know where it is?"

"I have heard of Huizhen Mountain. It is located in the north of Yunzhou City. There is a Taoist temple on top of it, but it is not called Minglong Temple, but Shenxiao Temple. The Taoist priests in the temple are all very powerful, so the incense here is very prosperous."

After hearing the news about Qiu Qianhai, Liu Bai finally had a clue about the matter that he had originally thought was confusing.

The address of Minglongguan is most likely the thread end.

"Besides you, Brother Chai also knows about this, right?"

"No, when I rescued him, Brother Chai was standing guard outside, so I was the only one who knew about it, and I didn't tell Brother Chai."

"Okay, then you'd better not spread this matter to anyone. Just keep it to yourself. If you spread it, you might... die."

Liu Bai's words were serious and he wasn't joking.

Right now, the city is in a state of panic because of the Sunset Mountain incident.

If something really happened at Minglong Temple and Qiu Qianhai happened to be involved, then he would most likely be finished.

"Okay, Liu Bai, don't worry."

Qiu Qianhai said very seriously.

When Xiaocao heard this, he also said in Liu Bai's mind: "Don't worry, sir. Qiu Qianhai is a tight-lipped person, just like Xiaocao."

"If I become the same as you, then it's over." Liu Bai chuckled.

"No, sir, what do you mean by that? Do you look down on me, Xiaocao?"

Angry Xiaocao punched Liubai's back with her little fist.

After talking about this, the two of them dispersed, and Liu Bai didn't want to stay with Qiu Qianhai either.

Whether it is contacting the Red Pawn and Black Elephant at night, or the gargoyle sending a letter.

It's not very convenient to stay here with Qiu Qianhai.

So Liu Bai made an excuse and left, and didn't even stay in the city, but left Yunzhou City under the cover of night.

When he went south to a deserted place, he turned from a human into a ghost and went straight to settle down near the familiar Toad Mountain.

Sure enough, not long after he came nearby, there was movement, but it was not the movement on the chessboard of life and death.

Instead, a carrier pigeon arrived, appearing out of thin air just like before.

As Liu Bai raised his hand, the carrier pigeon fell into his hand. After just a few times, he was already very familiar with it.

He took out a piece of letter from the pigeon's mailbox and unfolded it. Inside was a letter from the eldest gargoyle.

"Third brother, there really is movement at the Lin family. I've been watching here all day, and there really is a sneaky person coming."

"He's not very strong, he's just a five-energy cultivator. I was afraid of alerting the enemy, so I didn't do anything. This is his portrait."

After reading the letter, Liu Bai was wondering where the portrait was.

The carrier pigeon suddenly flew up, and its feathers fell in front of him.

When the feathers fell, a human figure appeared in the air. The figure was not tall and was even a little hunched.

The face of a middle-aged man was ordinary, with wrinkles on his face, and the most obvious feature was that he was missing his left ear.

Looking at this scene, Liu Bai was a little surprised at first at the means of this carrier pigeon.

It could be used to send messages, but it could also send portraits? Especially since the method was so bizarre.

Then, he began to think about the person in the portrait... Could it be the Red Pawn Ghost?

He just shared the news on the chessboard, and these were the only ones he knew about. But on second thought, he felt that it was unlikely.

After all, it was the Laba Cult that really wiped out the Lin family.

Furthermore, the Red Soldier is a ghost, but the one in front of him, the gargoyle, is said to be a ghost walking person.

The carrier pigeon was still waiting here, so Liu Bai sent him a message first, saying that the news was very important and asked him to continue watching there to see if anyone else went to the Lin family to investigate.

Liu Bai himself had to look for information in the city.

Not long after the carrier pigeon flew away, movement was heard on the chessboard of life and death.

It was still the red ghost. As soon as he showed up, he asked, "Is the black general here?"

"Yes." Liu Bai answered quickly.

Then, as soon as he appeared, the black warrior also appeared on the chessboard.

"The Lin family's matter is really interesting. The Laba Sect didn't say a word, but they actually did something big to them." Hongzu's voice sounded very excited.

"Oh?"

The black elephant also appeared on the chessboard. "Did you confirm the news that the black general said?"

"Didn't General Hei also confirm what I said? The man in Xiuchunlou has been rescued."

"No, I didn't save that person. It has nothing to do with me."

Liu Bai told the truth. As for whether Hongzuo Gui believed it or not, it had nothing to do with Liu Bai.

But...this red ghost actually went to the Lin family to take a look?
In addition, the gargoyle just sent news that only one person went to the Lin family's place today.

The ghost walker with missing left ear!
Liu Bai had just discussed the Lin family's matter on the chessboard, and then sent the big gargoyle to keep an eye on it.

So if Red Soldier really wants to go and see the sequel, he will definitely be discovered by the gargoyle...

For a moment, Liu Bai immediately perked up. Regardless of anything else, the ghost who was missing his left ear, even if he was not the Red Pawn Ghost, was most likely related to the Red Pawn Ghost!

Of course, special circumstances are not ruled out.

For example, the Red Pawn Ghost went there, but the Gargoyle didn’t notice it… If that were the case, then the strength of the Red Pawn Ghost would be a bit terrifying.

"Okay, okay. Anyway, I looked through the historical records. The Lin family's affairs are indeed quite interesting."

As the Red Pawn Ghost said this, he seemed to be about to leave.

But at this moment, Madam Liu's voice suddenly rang out over the chessboard, "Didn't I say this morning that I owed you one, and now I've paid it back."

"What? Hei Shi, do you have any news? Is it also related to Sunset Mountain?" Hong Zu had already tasted the benefits of information exchange and immediately asked impatiently.

Liu Bai also pricked up his ears, curious about what his mother was going to say.

Even the grass poked its head out from behind Liu Bai.

"Yes and no."

After Lady Liu finished speaking, the Red Pawn Ghost continued to urge him, and even the Black Elephant couldn't help but be curious, "Black Soldier, just speak quickly, everyone is waiting."

Madam Liu remained silent for a moment.

Liu Bai didn't know whether she did it on purpose or not, but she had whetted everyone's appetite before she said:

"The Black Tomb has never had any disciples."

"What?!"

As soon as Lady Liu finished speaking, the Red Pawn Ghost shouted in surprise, "No, Hei Shi, what news is this? Are you kidding me?"

"The first disciple of the Black Tomb is Dong Xian, the second disciple is Mu Ren Ke, and the third disciple is Bai Jiao Er. This is a well-known fact, right? How dare you say that he has never had any disciples?"

"No, Hei Shi, what I'm saying is that we can keep it to ourselves if there's no news. We're all family, so we can talk it out. There's no need to fool around like this, right?"

After the Red Pawn Ghost finished speaking, even the Black Elephant seemed to feel that it was a little inappropriate, but she spoke more tactfully.

"Yes, Hei Shi, how...how do you know this kind of unofficial history?"

Listening to their questions, Madam Liu did not get angry and her voice remained calm.

“It’s not unofficial history.”

"Hei Mu told me himself."
