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

Chapter 153 Repairing the Second Life [asking for monthly votes]

Liu Bai was also a little surprised. This ignition posture was probably almost as good as his own at that time, right?
This Lin Dandan, is actually so talented?
Geniuses are everywhere, and Liu Bai is not naive enough to think that he is the only one with high talent in the world.

However, it seems that if Lin Dandan can grow up, she might be able to avenge the Lin family.

After lighting the fire, Lin Dandan's eyes finally showed a hint of joy. No matter what, as long as the fire was lit, she would at least not starve to death in the city.

"Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir."

After Lin Dandan's joy, she put on her clothes again and kowtowed to Liu Bai repeatedly.

"Okay, let's go first, let's get out of here first."

I killed someone and delayed here for so long, who knows if someone else will come here soon.

"Okay, we listen to you."

Knowing that the man in front of him was sent by Lord Black General, and then he added fuel to the fire for her, Lin Dandan naturally obeyed his orders.

Just as he was about to come out of the yard, Liu Bai saw a figure standing at the door.

It turned out to be the gang that Liu Bai had found before, Xu Xiaoer.

Seeing Liu Bai coming out, he hurried forward, picked up the wooden boxes in his hands, and whispered, "Sir, this is the snow cake you wanted."

Liu Bai thought that someone might be able to find this, but he didn't expect that it would be... him.

"How did you find this place?" Liu Bai asked expressionlessly.

Xu Xiaoer scratched his head and chuckled, "I sent snowflake cake to that woman before. She told me to send it here. When I saw you chasing her, I guessed she was coming here."

He has a lively mind and is very clever.

There is also a kind of innocence that is not afraid of death.

"Let's get on the carriage first." Liu Bai threw the carriage to the ground, and Xu Xiaoer naturally acted as the coachman again.

Only after they had left the alley did Liu Bai ask, "Did you know she was from the Children's Gang?"

"I've heard people mention it, but I didn't know whether it was true or not. Now it seems to be true." Xu Xiaoer replied with a smile.

"Well, I rescued the two inside."

"Hey, Young Master Dayi."

"Where are you going next, sir?" asked Xu Xiaoer.

"Let's find a quiet inn where we can eat."

"okay."

After a while, on the second floor of an inn called "Welcome", I looked at the two children who were wolfing down their meals.

Liu Bai thought for a moment and asked directly, "They both came from outside, without parents, and have no place to stay in this city. I don't have time to take care of them."

"So if you're willing, I'll give you money, and you can help them buy a suitable house to live in. As for safety, this Hu Dan is a bit too extreme, he's a shady person, so you don't have to worry too much."

"If you don't want to, just say it again."

Liu Bai made up a name for Lin Dandan and let them take the surname Hu Wei.

Let Xu Xiaoer take care of it... Liu Bai had thought about it carefully. This man is lively and smart.

Judging from the fact that he sent himself snow cake, he is a pretty good person.

And the most important point is that Liu Bai has a lot of things to do and doesn't have much time to look for other things.

As for why he wanted to help these two siblings... maybe it was because he saw their mother that night, and even after she died and became a ghost, she wanted to protect them.

Or maybe Liu Bai felt that if they didn't die from the disaster of exterminating their family, it meant that they were not destined to die.

Since this is the case and it is meant to be with me, I might as well just go for it.

It was a convenient thing for me, but for them, it was their life.

Xu Xiaoer, who was sitting next to him with a smile on his face, gradually faded after hearing these words.

He is not stupid, on the contrary he is very smart.

After hearing what Liu Bai said, he knew that this matter was probably dangerous.

But for him, it is also an opportunity.

Two fatherless and motherless children came to this city, and one of them was a ghost. If I could take on the job of taking care of them... then what kind of relationship I could eventually have with these two children would depend on my ability.

If I have good skills, maybe I will have two more brothers and sisters who can do secret things in the future.

Moreover, the young man in front of him is not short of money.

Thinking about the situation at home... Xu Xiaoer gritted his teeth and agreed, "Leave it to me, young master, don't worry."

"Ah."

Liu Bai nodded, took out a green bead, and said, "This is the money to buy a house. Is it enough?"

"Enough, enough, enough." Xu Xiaoer nodded repeatedly. Although this green bead was definitely not enough to buy the house where those ghost walkers lived, it was more than enough to buy a house for an ordinary person to live in.

Liu Bai took out another green bead and said, "This is for their daily use. You can keep it with you."

Finally he took out another one and said, "This is your reward."

For a moment, Xu Xiaoer even stopped breathing.

He had thought before that this young master would definitely give him a reward, but it would probably be just a white bead.

But now...

"Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir." Xu Xiaoer also knelt down and kowtowed.

Liu Bai also discovered that many people in this world expressed their gratitude by kowtowing... and he was too lazy to stop them.

When he turned around, he saw that Lin Dandan had stopped eating.

She just looked at the child in front of her who was about the same age as her brother, but was now planning his future life.

Liu Bai smiled, then stretched out his hand to make a gesture of silence.

Tell her to keep it secret.

Lin Dandan naturally understood and nodded vigorously.

"Okay, then I'll leave it to you...You were the one who took me to the Xu's shop. We might be noticed by someone with ulterior motives, so you better be careful about this." Liu Bai made a special reminder.

"Okay, sir, don't worry about this matter. I can handle it." Xu Xiaoer nodded with a smile.

"Ah."

Liu Bai took one last look at the Lin siblings and didn't give them any further instructions, just a few words.

"Live well."

This time, Lin Dandan nodded more vigorously than any time before.

When Liu Bai came out of the inn, he raised his hand and a pigeon landed on it.

He just noticed that it seemed that only he could see this pigeon.

Earlier in the inn room, the pigeon had been flying there for a long time, but Lin Dandan and the others didn't react at all.

Just like now... Liu Bai took the letter, which was sent by the second bald Taoist priest.

Just a simple sentence.

"Shenxiao Temple? Third brother, if it's convenient for you, come to Vulture Ridge. I'm here recently. Let's talk about it in person."

After reading it, Liu Bai released the pigeon and asked someone about the location of Vulture Ridge.

It was still in the south of Yunzhou City, among the mountains between Yunzhou City and Xueshi City. After Liu Bai got the location, he left the city from the west and then headed straight south.

It took nearly an hour before Liu Bai found the bald hill.

After landing, I didn't feel any breath until I saw a bulge in the ground, which was then lifted up, revealing a dark cave.
Liu Bai then realized that there was a reason why his second brother was still alive and well after being hunted for so long.

Then he came into the underground cave and looked at the bald Taoist priest again.

Liu Bai suddenly had a strange feeling in his heart.

"Please sit anywhere, third brother. I'm sorry to have wronged you, but there's really no other way. The Paper Umbrella Gang has been hunting us down fiercely lately, so I have no choice but to hide here." The bald Taoist priest smiled awkwardly.

"fine."

Liu Bai had horns on his head, so he could only walk with a bent back underground. He quickly found a stool and sat down.

The bald Taoist priest lit a few more candles to make the underground brighter, and then he seemed to move a chair and sat down opposite Liu Bai.

"Third brother, are you saying that you found the information in Shenxiao Temple?" asked the bald Taoist priest.

Liu Bai nodded, "To be precise, we should have found Huizhen Mountain."

After listening to this, the bald Taoist priest first raised his hand, then pulled out a whisk from his sleeve and placed it on his hand, then bowed to Liu Bai.

Liu Bai: “???”

The bald Taoist priest then said, "To be honest with you, Third Brother, I am from Shenxiao Temple."

"Hmm? Second brother, are you from Shenxiao Temple?" Liu Bai asked in surprise: "Then wouldn't it be convenient for you to go back?"

The bald Taoist priest was a little embarrassed, "No... I have been kicked out of the Taoist temple for decades."

"Uh……"

This reversal caught Liu Bai off guard.

"Back then, I committed a minor offense in the temple and was kicked out."

"Is it a little taboo that will get you kicked out of the temple?" The bald Taoist priest became more and more embarrassed, but he didn't know how to explain it. Or rather, this matter was not easy to explain.

So he had to change the subject and talk about business, "I am quite familiar with Shenxiao Temple. If you want to know something, please feel free to ask."

The bald Taoist priest is very confident.

So Liu Bai thought about it and asked, "There is also a Minglong Temple on Huizhen Mountain. Have you heard of it, second brother?"

"The moth-moth view?"

The bald Taoist thought for a moment, then shook his head, "Never heard of it."

"Huizhen Mountain is not very big. There is only one Taoist temple on the mountain, our Shenxiao Temple. I have never heard of any Minglong Temple."

Liu Bai: "..."

"Then second brother, just tell me what you know." Liu Bai no longer wanted to and didn't know what to ask.

"Alright."

The bald Taoist priest was also a little embarrassed, then he changed his sitting position, cleared his throat, and began to speak:
"Our Shenxiao Temple was founded eight hundred years ago. The founder was called Shenxiao Zhenjun. The temple mainly practices thunder magic. The one with the most profound Taoism now should be our temple master Leitan Zhenren."

"What strength?" Liu Bai asked.

"It is said that he had already crossed the yin-yang fusion many years ago."

The bald Taoist priest sighed.

Liu Bai nodded slightly. The unity of yin and yang refers to the fact that the yin spirit and the yang spirit have become one and become the primordial spirit.

It is also called cultivating a "second life".

If you can walk through the Yin and reach the Yuanshen, then you have really made it.

Because there is a saying that is popular in this world, "My master is sitting outside the Three Mountains, while my soul is traveling around the world."

Basically, it means that once you have cultivated your primordial spirit, even if you sit still, your primordial spirit can leave your body and travel around the world.

At this point, as long as the soul survives, it doesn’t matter even if the original body dies.

It can truly be said that he has cultivated a second life.

Walking in the negative direction is also going too far.

In this city, the leaders of the major forces have mostly cultivated this second life.

As for the governor of Yunzhou, he might even have cultivated more than a second life...

But Liu Bai never thought that the master of the Taoist temple on a small hill outside the city could actually cultivate a second life.

From this point of view, the Shenxiao Temple is really quite powerful.

"I guess there are no others. There should be two or three who cultivate Yang Gods, and more who cultivate Yin Gods. After all, those who were kicked out like me have already cultivated into Yin Gods. There are certainly more who stay in the temple."

The bald Taoist priest continued, "In addition, although our Shenxiao Temple is not big, we have the three masters, five masters and eighteen heads."

"We often go down the mountain to perform good deeds such as saving people and exorcising evil spirits. As a result, we are well-known throughout Yunzhou, and the temple is also very popular."

Just when Liu Bai was thinking about asking the second brother to stop praising and say something useful.

He stood up at the right time, went to the bookshelf next to him, took out a drawing, and spread it out in front of Liu Bai.

"Third brother, please look, this is the layout of our Shenxiao Temple."

This is the good stuff.

Liu Bai looked down and the bald Taoist priest introduced the mountain gate, "This is our mountain gate. Entering this is the Dragon and Tiger Hall. After passing through it, there is the Long Corridor Lotus Pond, and then we come to the Shifang Hall.

After passing through, it is divided into two courtyards, the east courtyard is also called Qian Courtyard and the west courtyard is called Kun Courtyard.

After passing the Shifang Hall, we arrived at the Zixiao Hall, the main hall of our Shenxiao Temple..."

The bald Taoist priest thought that Liu Bai was going to attack him directly with his evil body, so he mentioned everything in detail.

Find out where the strongest people are in each courtyard, and if you want to escape, where is the fastest and safest way to escape.

After all, the Shenxiao Temple is a legitimate Taoist sect, and it has magic arrays to protect the mountain.

After listening to this, Liu Bai had only one feeling: it was different having a guide.

If I rush in rashly, even if I search and feel around as a human, I won't be able to find out such detailed information. But now after hearing what the bald Taoist priest said... it should be no problem to fight back and forth using my ghost body.

At the very end, the bald Taoist priest stuffed the layout map into Liu Bai's hand, seeming to be hesitant to speak.

"Brother, just say it. We are all brothers."

Well, it’s normal for ghosts to be brothers with humans.

"Then I'll be frank. If a fight really breaks out, please spare the life of the scripture master in the Sutra Repository." The bald Taoist priest said hesitantly.

"Ok?"

Listening to Liu Bai's doubts, the bald Taoist priest continued, "The scripture teacher of the Sutra Repository is called Taoist Priest Wuxiao."

"My name is Taoist Erxiao."

Liu Bai: “???”

"Is there another Taoist priest named Yixiao???"

"That's right, that's my senior brother." The bald... Taoist Erxiao spoke more and more bitterly, and the smile on his face became more and more embarrassed.

Liu Bai was even more surprised.

This... no wonder he looks so much like Taoist Yixiao, especially the top of his head, it looks like they were carved from the same mold.

Okay, now Liu Bai really knows what’s going on.

It turns out that these two are really brothers, one is called Yixiao, the other is called Erxiao, and they have a master called Wuxiao.

As for the fact that Liu Bai could guess that it was Taoist Priest Yixiao... Taoist Priest Erxiao was not surprised. After all, any normal person or ghost would know that there was another Taoist Priest Yixiao after listening to his description.

After a little thought, Liu Bai did not tell anyone about Taoist Yixiao.

Firstly, he didn't know what had happened to these brothers, but Liu Bai guessed that they must have both been driven out of the mountain gate.

Secondly...it's easy to expose yourself.

It is better to have less trouble than more. Liu Bai did not say anything, at least he did not choose to say it now.

"Okay, then I'll go to the Shenxiao Temple and take a look... By the way, second brother."

"Can your master, Taoist Wuxiao, be trusted? If I say that I am a good friend of Taoist Erxiao, will he tell me anything more?"

Liu Bai had a backup plan.

Taoist Erxiao smiled as he listened, and nodded repeatedly, but there was some bitterness in his smile, or rather... tears.

"Sure, you said you are Erxiao's good friend, he will trust you."

"When the time comes, Third Brother, remember to say hello to me and say that I am an unworthy disciple and I feel ashamed of my master."

Liu Bai nodded and agreed.

It seems that Erxiao and Yixiao probably have some stories. Maybe after this matter is over, I can tell him about Taoist Yixiao.

With this thought in mind, Liu Bai left Vulture Ridge.

Then he headed straight north. He did not fly over the Yunzhou City with much fanfare, but circled around the edge of Xian Mountain in the west and finally arrived near Huizhen Mountain.

The ghost energy converged, and after landing, it turned into a child sitting in a carriage.

People turn into ghosts, and ghosts turn into people, just like a magic trick on the stage.

When they arrived at the foot of Huizhen Mountain, Liu Bai realized that Taoist Erxiao was not bragging, and the incense here... was indeed very popular.

The carriages going up the mountain were lined up halfway up the road, among which there were many bearers of sedan chairs and some ordinary people going up and down.

Among them, those who go up the mountain are mostly sad, while those who go down the mountain are mostly relaxed.

I think it means "The sacred mountain has many soothing medicines that can relieve all the worries in the world."

Liu Bai took a quick look and realized that it was faster to walk than to take a car in this area, so he parked the carriage and walked up the mountain.

After gathering the five energies, his qi and blood reached over 40. Liu Bai rushed at full speed, and the people could not even see his figure. They could only feel a gust of wind passing by them.

But when Liu Bai ran to the middle of the mountain, he suddenly saw a ghost chasing him from behind. The two were running at the same speed, so they could see each other's appearance clearly.

This was a man with gray hair, who had also gathered the five energies. When he saw Liu Bai, he exclaimed, "Huh?"

"When I see you, kid, I feel like I've been living like a dog for half my life."

"It really makes me so angry that I am dying."

After saying that, he shook his head a few times, and his feet seemed to light up with white light, obviously he used some "magic", and then he reached the top of the mountain in the blink of an eye.

There are many weird people in the world, but Liu Bai doesn't care much about them.

When he arrived at the mountain gate, he saw a Taoist boy in tied robes standing at each door. They had all lit three fires, but they were still bowing and greeting the pilgrims coming and going.

When they saw Liu Bai, one of them took the initiative to step forward, bowed, and then squatted down and said with a smile: "This little believer is going up the mountain for the first time. Do you need a guide?"

Liu Bai was polite when he went out, so he returned the greeting, "The believers are offering incense and worshipping the mountain gate, this young master, please be busy, please be busy."

Perhaps because he saw that the child was speaking seriously, the Taoist child smiled again and then went back.

Liu Bai walked in on his own.

But at this moment, the chessboard of life and death in Sumeru vibrated. Liu Bai was at the gate of the mountain at the moment. It would be inconvenient for him to light a fire after entering the gate. After hesitating for a long time, he finally retreated.

No matter what, we have to see what they talk about first.
