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

Chapter 160: Lady Liu's Breakthrough [asking for monthly ticket]

After Liu Bai came out from underground, he walked around on human body for a while, but after not walking for long, he couldn't hold back any longer.

When the figure jumped up, it turned from a human into a ghost, and then the figure went straight south.

This time, he exerted all his strength.

So in just a blink of an eye, he was back above Huizhen Mountain.

No...Where is the real mountain now?!
Liu Bai looked down and saw a huge pit. It was really huge, and its range was at least as large as the two Huizhen Mountains.

But then the real mountain disappeared.

Obviously, it was this Lei Tan Zhenren who used himself as bait to lure them into the underground, and then used some unknown means to blow up the underground.

Liu Bai subconsciously thought, what if he had not left before, but stayed in the cellar?
I wonder if Taoist Wuxiao will take me with him before he leaves.

But now is obviously not the time to think about these things. Standing in mid-air, he glanced around.

The first thing that was discovered was naturally the figure of the tiger lady.

But at this moment, she was no longer in human form, but had turned into her original form, a huge white-browed tiger lying on the wasteland, motionless, and her giant sword was casually thrown aside.

Liu Bai swallowed and finally turned his eyes away from her.

The tigress is not dead yet, so you can't force yourself on her.

Soon Liu Bai's eyes fell on another person, that was his "good brother", the incense master of the funeral temple.

At this moment, he was also lying in a pile of ruins, feeling like he was breathing out more than he was breathing in.

And in his right hand, he was holding something, a small stone mountain only the size of a palm.

This was also the first time that Liu Bai saw his rare treasure, and then he fell down.

When I came in front of him, I was not polite.

Seeing it is picking it up, and picking it up is making a profit. Liu Bai reached out to take it from his hand, but found that he was holding it very tightly.

Even when Liu Bai made a move, he was still dazed and showed signs of opening his eyes.

Liu Bai said nothing and a bolt of lightning struck him directly. He was instantly silent, his hands loosened, and the small mountain of stones fell down.

Liu Bai raised his hand and put it into Xumi.

At the same time, he also discovered that this rare treasure was also severely damaged, and even had several cracks on it.

As for the Sumeru, Liu Bai didn't know whether he didn't have it or didn't bring it with him, but in any case he didn't see it.

Then Liu Bai went to another place, where he had seen Zhou Bala's location before.

When I came in front of him, he suddenly opened his eyes and tried to escape.

Obviously he was injured, but not as seriously as the incense master of the funeral temple. But Liu Bai was already close to him, so how could he let him get away?
There were no fancy moves, just two pitch-black lightning bolts striking down.

Zhou Bala, who was still alive and kicking in the last second, fell straight to the ground in the next second.

Liu Bai stepped closer to his side. He did not see his rare treasure, but he saw his Sumeru.

It looked like a small jade ring, which he wore on the thumb of his left hand.

After Liu Bai took it off, he didn't bother to kill him.

Instead, he turned around and went somewhere else. If one wanted to kill a ghost who had cultivated a second life, one had to kill his original body first, and then kill his soul.

Judging from their current injuries, even if Liu Bai killed his body first, his soul would wake up immediately.

Very troublesome.

Liu Bai only wants to get rich today, not take lives.

After letting Zhou Bala go, Liu Bai searched for a few more seconds. Finally, Xiaocao was sharp-eyed and pointed to a figure that was buried in the soil with only the head showing.

"There, there, sir, there is someone over there!"

Liu Bai came down close and stomped his foot lightly to lift the man up from the mud. He looked exactly like the old man.

But now he... is a corpse.

Not only the corpse, but even the Sumeru and the rare treasures on his body had disappeared without a trace.

Is there anyone here doing the same thing as me?

Is there anyone else touching the corpse here?
After Liu Bai discovered this, he jumped up again and looked around, but he didn't see any other moving figures in this wasteland.

Even the tiger lady was still lying on the ground in the shape of a tiger corpse.

"Sir, there is another one!"

Xiaocao found another one.

Before Liu Bai had time to land, he saw several auras rising in succession from Yunzhou City in the south, and their momentum.

They all cultivated a second life.

I guess it's the person from the governor's mansion that Taoist Wuxiao mentioned.

Liu Bai quickened his pace and came to the ground. This time, the person who showed up was the Fire Master of the Water and Fire Sect. Compared to the Water Master who had lost his physical body, he was slightly better.

But it wasn't much better, both of his legs were blown off.

Liu Bai looked around but didn't see his Sumeru. He only saw the Fire Spirit Banner with a broken flagpole thrown aside.

Liu Bai picked it up casually. The aura rising from Yunzhou City in the south was already approaching.

"Where did these evil ghosts and goblins come from!"

Before anyone arrives, the sound comes first.

Liu Bai raised his head slightly, and suddenly saw a bowl of black dog blood with added ingredients splashing towards him. Although there was still some distance between them, he could already smell the stench that made him feel uncomfortable all over.

He exerted a little force with his feet, and the body of the Fire Altar Master was thrown out and caught the black dog blood.

Liu Bai's figure floated up, and then two bolts of lightning struck down.

The man in black who had just rushed over had nowhere to hide, and didn't even have time to use his magic treasure before he was struck by the two bolts of lightning.

Liu Bai flashed in front of him, and as another bolt of lightning struck down, he had already grabbed his neck with one hand.

Then he pressed his body to the ground, held his head with one hand, and plowed the ground for nearly a mile like plowing the land, and finally came in front of the remaining two assassins from the governor's mansion.

Liu Bai slowly raised his head and looked at the two of them. His scarlet eyes were filled with coldness, and there was even a hint of sneer at the corners of his mouth.

"Come, your people are returned to you now."

As Liu Bai spoke, he picked up the man under his command and threw him out.

The man wanted to leave in a hurry, but a bolt of lightning struck his head without any warning, and his already weak body was instantly killed.

A dark soul left the body and escaped.

The other two men who were walking in the shadows were so frightened by Liu Bai's ferocity that they dared not take any action. They could only watch Liu Bai's figure go straight to the north.

Liu Bai's words could still be heard all around.

"Oh, trash!"

Heading north, Liu Bai returned to the place where Taoist Wuxiao had just stayed. As expected, he had already left.

Even the underground was burned clean by him.

There wasn't even a trace of air left around.

As a result, Liu Bai didn't even know which direction he went.

After confirming this, Liu Bai didn't stay here for long. This place would soon become a place of trouble, and if he stayed here as a ghost, he would be more or less conspicuous.

If the governor comes again, I'm not sure if my body can handle it.

Soon Liu Bai stood up again and walked through the dense forest in the east. He planned to go south and then return to Yunzhou City.

Above the chessboard of life and death facing Xumi, the conversation between the two people could be heard continuously.

This time, only the Red Pawn Ghost and the Black Elephant spoke, and the content of their conversation was this great brawl.

As for the Red Horse, he manifested the chess piece just like Liu Bai, but did not make a sound, as if it was inconvenient for him to speak.

Madam Liu's "black soldier" still did not show up, and it was unknown whether he was in deep meditation at home.

Or maybe there was something else.

After listening for a while, Liu Bai learned from them some truths that he had not seen.

For example, after I left, those ghosts who went underground seemed to have a fight underground first.

There was a loud noise coming from inside, as if someone was fighting over a treasure.

In the end, the treasure naturally fell into the hands of Aunt Tiger.

After that, there was a loud noise underground, like a dragon turning over, and some of the ghost walkers who were watching were shocked to death.

That was all they saw, and the rest was a hasty escape.

That is to say, up to now, as for the follow-up, they didn’t even know as much as Liu Bai. They also asked about it on the chessboard, but Liu Bai didn’t have time to talk about it now.

As he was walking through the woods, Liu Bai saw a figure of a ghost flash by his side.

I glanced at him out of the corner of my eye and even felt that the figure was a little... familiar?
Thinking of this, Liu Bai stopped and flew back to take a look.

However, the Yin-walking man who was nourishing the Yin God had obviously sensed his presence and was kneeling on the ground, trembling and not daring to look up.

When Liu Bai saw him, he recognized him at first sight.

When Liu Bai first went up the Huizhen Mountain, there was a white-haired old man traveling with him, and he said something at that time.

Therefore, Liu Bai also had an impression of him, but it was just a quick glance at that time, and he saw him as a human body. Liu Bai thought that he was the same as himself, just gathering the five qi. Now that he saw him as a ghost body, he found that he also cultivated the Yin spirit.

But this is not the main point. The main point is... Liu Bai discovered that the old man was missing an ear.

It’s still the left ear!
"Look up." Liu Bai said to him.

The gray-haired ghost had to raise his head when he heard this. His wrinkled face was full of sorrow. Seeing Liu Bai's appearance, he begged repeatedly: "Master Ghost King, please spare my life, Master Ghost King, please spare my life."

The voice was exactly the same as the one I saw last time on Huizhen Mountain.

It's really him!

But when they were climbing the Huizhen Mountain, he passed by Liu Bai from the left side, and Liu Bai only saw his right face.

So it is normal that you don’t notice the missing left ear.

But that would have been fine if it was just him. Liu Bai also discovered that he looked a bit like another person. They didn't look very similar at first glance, but with his missing left ear, the more you looked at them, the more they looked alike.

That person... Liu Bai didn't know his name either, he just met him once in the letter sent by the gargoyle.

It was the first letter sent by the gargoyle.

At that time, Liu Bai asked him to keep an eye on the ruins of the Lin family to see if the Red Pawn Ghost would go into the ruins to investigate.

As a result, at the end of that day, I really saw someone leaving.

His appearance... is not much different from the person in front of him, especially the missing left ear, which is an extremely obvious feature.

The only difference is that the man in front of him looks older, while the man in the portrait given by the gargoyle looks younger.

That should be considered the first time Liu Bai met the person in front of him.

At that time, Liu Bai suspected that this person had some connection with the Red Pawn Ghost.
We met for the second time on Huizhen Mountain, and now, in just a few days, we met for the third time.

Liu Bai didn’t think that Yunzhou City was small. On the contrary, Liu Bai thought that the city was very big.

and so……

Liu Bai didn't believe that this person kept appearing beside him one after another if there wasn't something strange about it.

After figuring it out, Liu Bai squatted down slightly and put one hand on the top of his head.

Just like the person who had just held down the emissary from the governor's mansion, Liu Bai could clearly sense the fear of the man in front of him; his body was shaking.

Without waiting for Liu Bai to speak, he took the initiative to speak.

He said in a trembling voice: "Ghost... Lord Ghost King, I confess, I confess everything, you can't kill me."

"If you kill me, no one will be able to deliver the letter to you!"

"Ok?"

Hearing what he said, Liu Bai was surprised, and then asked: "Are you the messenger?"

"correct."

Liu Bai loosened his hand. Although the messenger was still kneeling, he had straightened up. He had a sad face and seemed to be unable to cry.

He is the Messenger...

Liu Bai immediately linked all the information together.

This guy must have secretly read the messages from the gargoyle and Taoist Erxiao and others, so he knew about the Lin family's affairs very early, even earlier than Liu Bai.

So after learning that the Lin family had been destroyed, he secretly ran to see, but unexpectedly he was caught by the gargoyle... But there is a question about this.

Since he could peek at the letter, why would he reveal his appearance?
Wouldn't it have been enough to just change the appearance of the portrait?
The reason why he went to Shenxiao Temple later was because Liu Bai wrote a letter to Taoist Erxiao, and he must have read it again.

So I also thought about coming to Shenxiao Temple, but I didn't expect to meet Liu Bai there...

"So you are the messenger."

As Liu Bai spoke, he circled around him and looked at him carefully.

The messenger seemed to have admitted defeat, with a bitter look on his face, "Yes, I am the messenger."

Liu Bai originally thought that there would only be one messenger in the world, and that he was very powerful, but now it seems...

"How many messengers are there in Yunzhou?"

"It's just a small one... and the small one just joined not long ago. Generally, there is one courier per state, and not every state has one. Many states currently have vacancies for their couriers."

"Then as a messenger, don't you read all our letters?"

The messenger looked up and said in a tone of being wronged: "My Lord Ghost King, you don't know that there are two taboos for messengers. One is that I cannot read your letters casually, and the other is that I cannot change the contents of the letters. As a messenger, I must be trustworthy."

Liu Bai: “Haha.”

Seeing that Liu Bai didn't believe him, the messenger quickly lowered his head and said, "Okay, to be honest, I did read some of the letters, but not very much, because every time I read the letters, I have to consume a lot of life energy, and I can't bear it."

"As for changing the contents of the letter, that is even more impossible."

"So... when you went to the Lin family, you were still middle-aged. It hasn't been long now, but you've become this old. You must have read a lot of these letters, right?"

Liu Bai raised his voice a little, and the messenger shuddered again and bowed down, not daring to say a word.

Liu Bai sneered and said, "Since you are a ghost walker, you probably have a business in the city, right?"

"Yes... I opened a tea shop at the T-junction in the east of the city."

"Okay, I don't care what happened in the past. From now on, if you dare to read any letter I send or they write to me, I will slap you to death."

When it comes to threatening people, Liu Bai is quite good at it.

"Even if Lord Ghost King doesn't say anything, I dare not look at it anymore. If I keep looking at it, I won't live for many years." The messenger said with a sad face.

Liu Bai was too lazy to pay attention to his nonsense, and then squatted down a little and said, "Then how do I know whether you have read my letter?"

The messenger quickly pulled out a piece of letter paper from his bosom, and placed it in front of Liu Bai like offering a treasure, saying: "There is actually a carrier pigeon mark on the lower right corner of this letter paper. If it is read, the mark will disappear."

As the messenger spoke, he scratched the letter paper with his golden whistle.

"Master Ghost King, please look."

As he spoke, a gray carrier pigeon mark really appeared on the letter paper.

"Oh, I only trust you this time. If I find out later that you are cheating, well ...

Liu Bai stood up and said, "By the way, I will send people to check the place you mentioned at any time. If I find that you are not there, or it is a fake, you know the consequences."

"I understand. I understand." The messenger nodded repeatedly.

"By the way, where is the original third brother? Who is he and why did he disappear?" Liu Bai remembered this and asked casually.

Hearing this, the messenger was scared again, but he could only say: "The third brother... was killed by me. I originally wanted to use the identity of the third brother to integrate into the group, but I didn't expect..."

"You didn't expect me to snatch it first, did you?"

The messenger dared not speak again.

Liu Bai asked again: "So, it seems that you have been reading their letters for a long time? How old are you now?"

Normally speaking, a person who has raised a ghost spirit should have no problem living to around three hundred years old.

Judging from the appearance of this messenger, he is estimated to be around 250 or 260 years old.

The messenger listened to Liu Bai's question, and even his tone was a little sobbing, "I am... I am only thirty-two years old."

"You fucking..."

Liu Bai didn't know what to say anymore. "Okay, just live your life well."

After Liu Bai finished speaking, he headed south. This depended on the faith of the ghost walker who didn't care about his life, so there was nothing much to say.

Perhaps it won't be long before Yunzhou will return to the days without messengers.

But in just a moment, when Liu Bai saw the city of Yunzhou, he turned from a ghost into a human, and then went to the road and threw out the carriage.

Today's harvest was good, and he planned to go into the city to find a place to count it carefully.

……

at the same time.

Huangliang Town, under the Liu family’s territories.

Madam Liu, who was originally leaning against the head of the bed as if dozing off, suddenly opened her eyes. At this moment, her eyes had turned golden.

As she raised her hand, she could feel the rules and order slowly flowing through her hands.

"Is this... the feeling of being in control?"

She murmured something, and when she looked up again, what she saw was no longer endless emptiness.

It was a rushing river, but at this moment, she saw something else in the river.

The moment she stood up, her figure disappeared underground.

Although she had already been qualified to watch it, Madam Liu had waited until now.

Today, I should go and see...
