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

Chapter 151 A Gift for My Mother [asking for a monthly ticket]

There was silence on the chessboard.

Even the usually talkative Red Pawn Ghost was not in a hurry to speak this time.

No wonder he is.

The main thing is that what Madam Liu said this time was really a bit too...out of touch?

It can’t be said to be out of touch, it’s just… maybe this matter may seem like a common thing in front of Madam Liu.

Even big or small, it is a secret.

But when she said it casually, it seemed like a fairy tale to Hongzu Gui and the others.

It would be better if the last sentence was not mentioned, as it would give the Red Pawn Ghost and the others some room for imagination.

But the black elephant has one last question.

Madam Liu just added that sentence.

This makes it even more unbelievable that the Red Pawn gave the Black Bishop.

"What do you mean Hei Mu told you? No, Hei Shi, can you be more reliable when you say this?"

After a brief silence, the Red Pawn Ghost could not help but speak, "Do you know when Black Tomb lived? When he was active, it was nearly a thousand years ago. You were not even born then, right?"

On Liu Bai's shoulder, Xiaocao was also listening to these words.

Then Liu Bai muttered in his heart: "It was clearly when the Queen was active that Black Tomb was not even born, but this Red Pawn Ghost is saying the opposite."

Liu Bai couldn't help but ask curiously, "Xiao Cao, how long has my mother lived?"

Xiao Cao tilted her head and thought for a while, then answered, "I can't remember clearly, but the queen seemed to have said that she said that life span has no meaning to her."

"So you've lived with my mother for so long? No, then why are you still so useless? You can't even beat Master Ma."

Xiao Cao stood up suddenly, then hesitated for a few times and sat down again, saying, "Young Master, you will regret looking down on Xiao Cao."

On the chessboard, the red pawn ghost is still outputting.

"Come on, Hei Shi, forget about the news you have, but don't try to fool us with some unofficial history. It's boring, really boring."

"If you don't believe me, ask the black elephant. We are all generous people. If you owe me, then I'll pay you back. There is no money exchange on this chessboard, so we can only count the times like this. You don't have to take it too seriously."

After the Red Soldier Ghost experienced a brief period of output, his emotions gradually calmed down.

In fact, if Liu Bai put himself in their shoes... he could understand their feelings.

After all, they didn't know the identity of the black soldier, so in their eyes, the black soldier was just a simple, ordinary assassin.

But now this ghost was actually telling them such earth-shattering news, and said that it was Hei Mu who told her personally... This was a little hard for them to accept.

But understanding is one thing, but this red ghost actually spoke about my mother in a weird way for so long!

He will definitely be killed in the future!

Liu Bai looked at the chess pieces on the board. The black soldier that her mother had manifested had gradually disappeared. In her opinion, she had not lied and had told the truth. Whether others believed it or not was up to them.

As for asking Madam Liu for an explanation?

Ha ha.

Liu Bai felt that he was going to be beaten half to death for saying this, and he still wanted to explain?

She will most likely just use your skin as an explanation.

As soon as the black knight moved, the chessboard became quiet again. The black elephant and the red pawn were not in a hurry to leave, so Liu Bai said something out of the blue.

"What if, I mean what if... Heisi is telling the truth and not just reading it from some unofficial history?"

So the originally quiet chessboard became even quieter.

It was not until a long time later that the old voice of the black elephant was heard.

"If what Hei Shi said is true, then she should not be from Chu."

"My God, how can this Black Elephant be so powerful? Xiao Cao admires it so much. How can he tell that the Queen is not from the State of Chu with just one sentence?"

Xiaocao answered quickly.

Liu Bai was also a little surprised. How did Black Elephant know this?
Could it be that the Chu State had some other rules? For example, the restrictions of heaven and earth prevented the emergence of people who were too powerful or too high in status?

"What do you mean?" The Red Pawn Ghost also didn't understand what the Black Elephant old woman meant.

"Because if that's the case, the State of Chu will belong to her." After saying this, the old woman with the black elephant scattered her chess pieces.

The Red Pawn Ghost chuckled, "You are really humorous."

After saying this, he scattered his chess pieces.

Only Liu Bai was left, and he wondered if he should go home and ask his mother.

What did she mean when she said that Heimu said he had no disciples?

And by the way, let her see if there is any problem with the gray pigeon that carries the message.

After all, I had never met those pigeons at the beginning, but they still found me in this vast Yunzhou city.

Although there are still many things going on in Yunzhou City, it will only take a short while to get there, so this little time is not a big deal.

I can fly and go whenever I want.

By the way, you can also send back the gift you bought for your mother.

Liu Bai, who was originally on the top of the mountain, flew backwards, and then passed across the extremely high sky. He looked at the panel again.

Add the 0.1 attribute point that has just been refreshed to the qi and blood.

Feeling that his strength was a little stronger than yesterday, this feeling of becoming stronger even by lying down made Liu Bai feel that the future was promising.

[Name: Liu Bai]

[Identity: Human]

[Realm: Five Qi]

[Qi and blood: 42.4]

【Spirituality: 43.5】

[Attribute points: 0]

I don’t know if it’s because Xiaocao is always with me, or if it’s because I have a ghost body myself, but Liu Bai hasn’t done much to improve his spirituality.

Even if it relies solely on its own growth, it can grow faster than qi and blood.

With these more than 40 points of energy and blood, Liu Bai didn't know how many Master Ma's his punch was equivalent to.

I just know that with one punch, he will die miserably, very miserably.

After flying for less than an hour, Liu Bai estimated that he had reached the territory of Blood Food City, so he shouted, "Mom, I'm back."

After saying this, his figure immediately disappeared from the air.

In just a blink of an eye, he had arrived at his own yard. His reaction was quick, and the moment he landed, he completed the transformation from ghost to human.

Otherwise, it would be too unfair to my mother if she had to look up at me while talking to me.

"How long have you been out? What are you doing back?" Madam Liu, who was standing under the eaves, frowned slightly and said with a look of disgust.

"Hehe, I bought some gifts in Yunzhou City and I'm in a hurry to come back and give them to my mother."

"Besides, it only takes a short while to go back and forth. It's very quick."

Liu Bai walked into the house with a smile on his face, but the look of disdain on Lady Liu's face never diminished, "What gift do I want you to give me?"

But even though he said that, the man followed him into the house.

"Mom, try it quickly. This is the lotus cake I bought for you from Yunzhou City. Everyone says it's delicious."

Liu Bai took out the two boxes of lotus cakes in carved wooden boxes from Xumi as if he was presenting treasures. At first, the shopkeeper said that they just needed to be wrapped in oil paper.

But how could Liu Bai give something to his mother so casually?

But he knew that his mother liked this kind of exquisite feeling very much.

"How can we eat cakes so late at night?" Although Madam Liu was disgusted, she put it away.

So Liu Bai took out the tea set and tea leaves again, "When it rains, mother can change the tea she brews. It is said that drinking this cloud tea can improve beauty. Although mother is already the most beautiful in the world, I won't mind if she is more beautiful."

"You are the only one who talks a lot."

Madam Liu scolded them, then picked up the two cans of tea, opened them, sniffed them gently, and then put them away.

"Is there anything else? If not, I'm going to bed."

"Who is like you, going home so late at night?"

Liu Bai said quickly, "Yes, yes, yes. There is also a gift that Xiaocao prepared for mother. I told her that this one is not good, but Xiaocao insisted on choosing this one."

"Huh? It?" Madam Liu glanced at the little grass behind Liu Bai with a frightened look in its eyes.

Xiao Cao also said immediately: "No, Madam, I..."

Before Xiaocao could finish her words, she knew it was too late because Liu Bai had already taken out the cloth with big red flowers.

"This is what Xiaocao specially chose for mother."

Liu Bai said it sincerely, and then presented it with both hands.

Madam Liu narrowed her eyes slightly, then looked between Liu Bai and Xiao Cao, and then still reached out to take it.

But at the end she said, "It seems like I haven't made a set of clothes for you two for a long time. This time is just right, I will make a set for you two."

Liu Bai's smile froze on his face.

Xiaocao's already bitter smile became even more bitter.

Seeing that Madam Liu was about to leave, Liu Bai hurriedly asked, "Mom, what about the matter you said about the Black Tomb having no disciples..."

Speaking of business, Madam Liu turned around and said, "That should be the third time I met him, and also the last time. Not long after that meeting, I heard the news of his death."

Madam Liu had no expression on her face when she said this.

"Besides me, Zhang Cang was there too. He asked him if he really wanted to take that step, and said he had a disciple who could pass on his legacy."

"Heimu said that he never had any disciples." Liu Bai pricked up his ears and listened carefully.

But when Lady Liu said this, she stopped talking and asked, "What's next?"

"I told them to leave because they were talking too loudly." Madam Liu still had that nonchalant attitude.

This made Liu Bai feel uncomfortable, as if he was reading a novel and reaching the most exciting part, but then the author cut him off.

However, it is recognized by the world, and Liu Bai has also seen it in many history books.

There are three disciples in the Black Tomb: Dongxian, Murenke and Feng Jiaoer.

But why did he say that he had no disciples?
And from the conversation my mother told me, Zhang Cang said that he had disciples to pass on his legacy to, so there was no need for him to take that step... Was he taking that step because he had no disciples?
"Mom, what did Zhang Cang say at that time, asking Hei Mu whether he was really going to take that step? What was that step he was talking about?" Liu Bai asked curiously.

After listening to this, Madam Liu did not hide her thoughts. She just recalled for a moment and then said:
"It seems that the road to the Black Tomb has come to an end, and his life span has almost been used up. The only choice is to try to move forward."

"Zhang Cang persuaded him to take over the body of a disciple and live a second life."

"Hei Mu said he had no disciples."

After hearing this, Liu Bai immediately said, "That old man Zhang Cang really doesn't look like a good person. He actually persuaded Heimu to take over someone else's body."

"It's nothing."

Madam Liu shook her head and walked underground.

Liu Bai hurriedly asked, "Mom, this is your third meeting with Hei Mu, what about your first meeting?"

"The first time... I had a fight with him."

"He knelt before me and begged for a quick death."

Madam Liu didn't even turn her head.

Liu Bai was shocked when he heard this and asked, "Why didn't mother kill him?"

"Because at that time... he wanted to protect his daughter." After Madam Liu finished speaking, she went underground.

Liu Bai didn't ask any more questions.

Just hearing these secrets is already very satisfying.

But at this moment, Xiao Cao poked Liu Bai on the back, and Liu Bai suddenly remembered something, and then hurriedly shouted: "Mom, wait a minute."

"What's wrong again?" Madam Liu was already showing a hint of impatience.

"I seem to be being watched."

As soon as Liu Bai opened his mouth, Madam Liu just said "hmm" and then looked him up and down.

Immediately, without Liu Bai saying anything, Madam Liu had already stepped in front of him.

Then she squatted down slightly, raised her white right hand, and gently pinched Liu Bai's head.

In an instant, Liu Bai raised his head and saw that Madam Liu had pinched out a... feather from the top of his head.

Or pigeon feathers.

Its shape is illusory and not real.

Madam Liu looked at the feather with a look of reminiscence in her eyes, "I didn't expect that old man would actually succeed."

"Mom, what did you say?"

Madam Liu withdrew her thoughts and put the feather back on Liu Bai's head. In an instant, the feather disappeared.

"You have joined an organization of messengers."

"Hey, how did you know that, mom?"

"Because the man who founded this organization once came to me for advice."

"Uh……"

Looking at this mother who always said the most pretentious words in the calmest tone, Liu Bai didn't know what to say.

He also understood more and more what the red pawn and the black elephant felt at that time.

"What about this organization?"

"There's nothing much to say about this organization. The person just thought that writing letters to specific people would be boring, so he thought, could he write a letter himself and not know who it would be delivered to? The writer and the recipient don't know each other. If they get to know each other in this way, wouldn't it be interesting?"

Madam Liu seems to know a little bit about everything. As long as you ask her, she will know.

Liu Bai listened and found that what his mother said was true.

"Then there's nothing bad about this organization, right?"

"No, it's just that the messenger who is delivering the letter for you might be able to peek at the contents of your letter."

"That's...that's fine."

Liu Bai could not have imagined that there was a peeping monster behind the four of them delivering the message.

But where could that person be hiding?
Liu Bai guessed that he should also be in Yunzhou City.

"So what did the founder of this Messenger Organization seek advice from my mother about?"

Liu Bai couldn't think of any connection between his mother and this message.

Madam Liu recalled for a moment, and then said, "He hadn't figured out how to connect the three people at the time, so he asked me if I had a special killing method that could put the soul of a dead person into this carrier pigeon."

"So...he asked mother for the killing skills?"

"Then what else can you ask me for advice?" Madam Liu asked back.

Looking at this murderous mother, Liu Bai smiled awkwardly, "Nothing... nothing."

Only then did Madam Liu turn around and go underground.

Although it was almost dawn, Liu Bai still decided to take a nap. Since he was here now, what was the point of not taking a nap?
When he took off his coat and lay in his own doghouse, he still said, "Good night, mother. See you tomorrow."

Although I have been running around outside all day and experienced a lot, there are still many things waiting to be done.

But as long as I lie down at home, I know my mother is by my side.

Liu Bai soon felt sleepy.

He fell into a deep sleep. Underground, Madam Liu had already taken out a box of lotus cake. She picked it up, put it to her nose and sniffed it gently.

Smelling the faint fragrance of lotus, her expressionless face seemed to have a hint of smile. Then she reached out and picked up one of the pieces, took a small bite, and sipped it to melt...

……

The next day.

When Liu Bai woke up, it was already noon. Just when he was thinking about getting up and getting dressed, he saw Xiao Cao, who was squatting at the head of his bed, pointing in the direction of the end of the bed without saying a word.

Liu Bai looked at it in confusion.

At the end of the bed, there were two sets of clothes embroidered with big red flowers, one large and one small.

It was obvious that Madam Liu did what she said before going to bed last night this morning.

She made a set of clothes for Xiaocao and Liubai respectively.

Liu Bai curled his lips and said bluntly: "No."

"But the Queen asked us to wear it." Xiaocao lowered his head, as if he had accepted his fate.

Liu Bai had already stood up from the bed. "If she tells me to wear it, I will... Hey, if my mother tells me to wear it, I will definitely wear it."

Looking at Madam Liu who walked in from the door, Liu Bai's attitude changed faster than anyone else.

So under Madam Liu's gaze, Liu Bai and Xiao Cao both changed into the clothes embroidered with big red flowers.

It’s very prosperous and festive.

Especially the big red flowers on Liu Bai’s chest, which made him want to die.

"Not bad."

Madam Liu looked very satisfied and said, "Okay, you two should wear this outfit for the New Year this year."

Seeing his mother's smiling eyes, Liu Bai could only smile and agree, not forgetting to say something.

"Thank you, mother. You are so kind to me."

"Okay, that's enough. Just go away. Don't come back unless necessary. I feel annoyed just looking at you." After saying this, Madam Liu walked underground.

Liu Bai had no choice but to lower his head and say yes.

But before she knew it, Madam Liu turned around and said, "I remember there was a shop selling snow cakes in Yunzhou City. It seemed to be in the west of the city. I wonder if it's still there now."

After hearing this, Liu Bai instantly understood what his mother meant, and then he shouted loudly while changing his clothes: "I'll go and see it when I get to the city!"

This was the first time that Madam Liu "hinted" Liu Bai to help, although this help was just to bring back some food.

But Liu Bai agreed immediately and put this matter before everything else.

He originally planned to go to Huizhen Mountain in the north of Yunzhou City to see the Shenxiao Temple, or to look for the Minglong Temple.

But now... nothing is more important than buying cakes for mother.

I changed my clothes and took the grass with me.

Liu Bai said goodbye loudly to Madam Liu in the underground. There was no need to say more. The moment he stepped out of the house, he had already completed the transformation from human to ghost.

The next second, you were above the clouds, with mountains under your feet.

Liu Bai also noticed it keenly.

Compared with last time, Madam Liu sent him to a farther place.

At least it's a mountain away.

What does this mean?
This means that in these few short days, Madam Liu's strength has improved again... Liu Bai finally felt a little pressure.

But I hope that by the time I don’t even get a copy of the torn page, my mother’s power will cover the entire Yunzhou.

Thinking of this, Liu Bai suddenly sped up a little.

You have to buy cakes early.
