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

Chapter 162: Face to face with the True God! [Seeking monthly votes]

Madam Liu looked like she took a deep breath, and then the gold in her eyes was suppressed, returning to her original appearance.

However, the cracks on his body could not be eliminated no matter what. They still existed, with bits of golden light seeping out from them.

She stood on the steps, looked down at the worried Liu Bai, and said disdainfully:
"Look at you, you say you've grown up, but you don't look like you've grown up at all!"

"But mother, you..." Liu Bai hesitated to speak.

Madam Liu had already turned around and walked back into the house. She spoke casually, as if she had lost a strand of hair. "It's just a minor injury. It will heal in a few days."

"Really, mom?"

Liu Bai looked at the injuries on Madam Liu's body. They didn't look like minor injuries at all... It seemed as if her body was cut into several pieces.

"Have I lied to you?"

Madam Liu's cold voice came from the house. Liu Bai thought about it and realized that this was not the case. There was no need for Madam Liu to lie to him.

Maybe this is a very serious injury for me, but in my mother's opinion, it will only take a few days to recover?

Liu Bai thought that if he didn't see his mother recover, he would not leave this time.

He followed her into the house and found that Madam Liu had gone underground again, so he hurried to follow her.

With his ghostly height, especially the two horns on his head that could strike out dark lightning, he almost had to bend over slightly to stand in this underground house.

Otherwise the two horns on the head will touch the "roof".

Madam Liu came and sat down in front of the tea table. Liu Bai also noticed that the tea set on the table was the set of exquisite porcelain with carved patterns that he brought back last time.

"You think you have grown up as a ghost and want your mother to look up at you, right?"

"no no."

Liu Bai also felt that his mother was a little abnormal. In the past, she would only lose her temper with her human body, and always treated her ghost body kindly.

It was precisely because of this that Liu Bai wanted to make his mother happy, so he kept using the ghost body.

Why today, I feel like I want to turn myself into a human body?

Liu Bai couldn't figure it out, but just did as he was told.

When he turned into a human body, he raised his head to look at his mother.

He just looked up, why did he feel that his mother's eyes were... a little complicated?
Immediately, Madam Liu raised her hand slightly, and Liu Bai felt that the whole room was wrapped up.

A golden ripple enveloped the entire house.

This is……

Liu Bai remembered that the last time Madam Liu spoke to him so formally was after she killed the evil spirit on the throne.

Now is the second time.

Seeing this, Liu Bai hurried over, brought out the small chair he often sat on, placed it in front of Madam Liu, and sat down obediently.

"Remember what I said to you last time, also in this room?" Madam Liu said slowly.

Liu Bai nodded vigorously, "Remember."

"Well, I told you at the time that the Qi and blood of all the dead Yin-walkers would disappear in a special way."

"Yes, mother did. She also said that it disappeared through the medium of the Yin Pearl."

Liu Bai remembered it clearly and dared not forget it at all.

Madam Liu was sitting in front of him, with golden light occasionally seeping out of her body. She nodded and said, "This time, I just went to confirm the location where the qi and blood of the Yin people disappeared."

"So that's where you got injured, mom?" Liu Bai asked after hesitating.

"Ah."

Madam Liu did not hide it and admitted it directly.

"Then the destination is...can you tell me?" Liu Bai asked tentatively.

Madam Liu sneered, with a hint of contempt in her eyes, "Is there anything I can't say about this?"

"The lost vitality and blood of the Yin-walkers all became the nourishment for those old creatures in the sky."

But when Madam Liu said this, the golden light emanating from her body became even stronger. She then snorted coldly, her eyes focused, and in an instant her whole body was flashing with dazzling golden light.

"If you are hiding your head and showing your tail, just come down if you have the guts."

Madam Liu raised her head, her eyes full of disdain.

Liu Bai also looked up. At this moment, what he saw was no longer the mud above his head, but a dark figure sitting upright in the endless darkness.

Its shape seemed boundless, encompassing the entire sky.

At first it seemed very far away, but when I looked again, it seemed right in front of me.

When people see Him, they can't help but want to worship and kneel down.

He slowly lowered his head. Although he saw nothing else, a voice that could not be distinguished between male and female was heard from underground.

"Painted Skin Girl, I advise you... to stop."

"hehe."

Madam Liu raised her head and looked him straight in the face, without the slightest fear. "I dare to risk my life, do you dare?"

Madam Liu's cold voice sounded, but the True God did not answer.

The two looked at each other for a moment, and finally, the darkness in Liu Bai's vision disappeared, as if he had returned from the sky to this dark room underground.

The unknown true god just left without saying anything harsh.

Liu Bai turned around again and found that his mother's injuries...had indeed healed a lot!

At least the cracks are not as big anymore, and the golden light that seeps out is dimmer and not as conspicuous.

"Mom, was that... the true God?"

"Well, just one of them." Madam Liu said it very casually, even with the same disdain as before.

So, the energy and blood of the Yin people will eventually be absorbed by the so-called true gods in the sky?

But how come after my mother faced the true God, her injuries got better?

Liu Bai raised his head and looked again.

Madam Liu thought he was worried, "Don't worry, they can't come down now, at least not for a long time."

"As for targeting you... Since I dare to lure Him out, I can make Him not see you."

Madam Liu has this confidence.

"No, I'm wondering how long it will take me to defeat them."

Liu Bai said this seriously, and this was indeed what he had just been thinking about. He was wondering how long it would take before he could add points to the numerical monster?
Just like now, such a long time has passed, he estimates that his blood and spirituality are enough to support him to gather the other three energies, but he has not found a suitable thing to gather the energy.

It’s a pity that this true god doesn’t show his health bar... It really doesn’t work. It would be nice if I could see the value of his health or something.

"As expected of my son."

After hearing this, Madam Liu lowered her head slightly, smiled and reached out to pinch Liu Bai's little face, but soon she sat up straight again and put away the smile on her face.

"Do you know why I called you back this time?"

"The child doesn't know."

Liu Bai also sat up straight. He knew that Madam Liu called him back so directly not just to let him see his injuries, but because something big must have happened.

"I called you back... so that you can understand the path you will take in the future." Madam Liu said slowly.

"The path I want to take?"

"Well, now you are just aimlessly thinking about improving your strength and then killing all my former enemies, right?"

Liu Bai nodded. That’s what he thought.

"Of course there's nothing wrong with you thinking this way, and there's nothing wrong with even waiting until later to decide which path you want to take."

"only……"

"Just what?" Liu Bai asked seriously.

Madam Liu laughed at herself and said, "It's nothing. You will know it later."

"after……"

Liu Bai's eyes were a little dim, "Mom, you always say later, later, when is later?"

This was also the first time that Madam Liu thought about this question, but she gave an answer after a little thought.

"Then at least you have to beat me, that's the future."

"it is good!"

Liu Bai agreed all at once. Although this was a difficult task, at least he had a goal, right?

Madam Liu continued, "The first and most important thing is that you cannot give up your human body, which means your identity as a Yin person."

"it is good."

Liu Bai never thought of giving up, and he didn't even think about adding some ghost body.

Instead, all the attribute points of each day are added to Qi and blood.

It’s just…my mother, who always looked down on the human body, why did she suddenly change her attitude and ask me to do something sinister?
Liu Bai didn't ask, and Madam Liu continued, "As for your future path that I mentioned... it's even further away for you, but you should start preparing for it now."

Liu Bai felt that why did his mother seem a little... anxious this time?

Or rather, it is urgent.

"Then how should I prepare?" Liu Bai knew that what his mother was going to say next was the key point.

Even Madam Liu hesitated for a moment before she said softly, "Skills are close to the Tao."

"Is skill close to Tao?"

Liu Bai had heard of this word before, but he never thought that there was such a saying in this world.

"Ah."

"This skill is close to the Tao is an old saying, now it should be said that art is close to the Tao."

Liu Bai understood a little bit now, "Mother, you mean that you want me to find a technique that I like and then study it to perfection, right?"

"No." Madam Liu looked at him deeply. "It's not very useful to learn only one technique. What you need to do is to get in touch with as many techniques as possible, and then practice. Finally, from these thousands of techniques, you can find your own way."

Liu Bai understood more and more what Madam Liu meant.

"What if I learn so much and it becomes increasingly confusing?"

"Others may have this trouble, but you won't." Madam Liu didn't say why, but just told the result.

"Because I'm your child, right?"

Hearing Liu Bai's words, Madam Liu's mouth twitched.

"Young Master, the Queen said that you won't be confused, so why do you think so much?" Xiaocao, who was sitting at the tea table, hugged her knees and chattered.

"Then in the future, in addition to improving my ability as a Yin-walker, I will also have to study various arts, right?"

"Ah."

Things seem a little simple, but also a little difficult.

"The ones in Blood Food City are just small fights, and the techniques they learn are all miscellaneous and unsystematic. If you want to start, start from the current Yunzhou City."

"Learn the matchmaking technique of the red thread from the Matchmaker Association, the technique of shooting the cover from the Shefu Hall, and the winemaking method from the Drunkards' Alliance."

Liu Bai listened to the first two and was able to get by, but the last one, "Mom, there is no Drunkard League in Yunzhou City now, there is Laba Sect."

"It is possible that it was destroyed. The Laba Cult must have learned some skills from the Jie Ling Tower and used the Laba technique." Madam Liu said casually. In her opinion, the rise and fall of a force was too common.

After listening to it, Liu Bai also understood more clearly.

If we say that traveling around the world before was aimless, we would just go wherever we wanted and go wherever we could improve our strength.

But now the path is much clearer.

Academic!

Go wherever there is skill!
The goal is to learn all the skills in the world!

Madam Liu looked at the high-spirited Liu Bai, and she felt a little reluctant in her heart. "What I told you before is also useful. If you don't want to take this path, you can stay by my side."

Liu Bai grinned when he heard this.

"A good man has ambitions."

"I am not afraid of the difficult road, I am only afraid that my mother has no hope in me. Now that my mother tells me how to go, that is good."

"It's just... Mom, can you tell me what happened this time?"

After Liu Bai finished speaking, he moved closer and tilted his ear towards Madam Liu, clearly looking like he wanted to whisper something.

Seeing this, Xiaocao also jumped up and put his ear over.

But before it got close, Madam Liu had already picked it up by the ear and threw it away, then slowly said in Liu Bai's ear:

"Because I found out...I can't kill them. In that case, I need your help."

After listening to this, Liu Bai sat up straight instantly, his eyes unable to hide...excitement.

Then he raised his head, without saying anything, and just glanced above his head. When he lowered his head again, he saw Madam Liu nodded.

"it is good!"

Liu Bai agreed immediately, and even clenched his fists and gently hit his knees.

Kill the God!

This might be something that would scare others, but to Liu Bai, he was extremely excited.

For a moment, he even felt that there was no point in killing.

If you want to kill, you have to kill all the true gods outside the sky!
This is the path that a Yin-walker should take.

He couldn't help but take a deep breath, and then he suppressed the excitement in his heart a little, "Mom, is this what you have been doing?"

Lady Liu replied, "Not at first, but later on."

"So next... I'll need your help."

So what mom means is, ghosts can’t kill real gods, only ghosts can kill them?
Liu Bai was just thinking about asking if this was the case, but before he could ask, Madam Liu slowly shook her head.

"There are some things that we can't talk about too much. After all, they have to save face. If we talk too much... it's bad if they are desperate."

Madam Liu smiled slightly.

"Okay, kid, I understand."

For a moment, Liu Bai felt full of energy and even wanted to go out and do something big right now.

But when he looked at the injuries on Madam Liu's body, he decided to wait a little longer.

The world is so big, but nothing is as important as my mother’s.

After the conversation between the mother and daughter, Liu Bai finally understood her future path. At least she would not be so confused anymore.

As for why they want to kill gods...

Liu Bai also had some guesses, for example, maybe they blocked the way upward, or maybe they did not allow some people to grow too tall.

But it doesn’t really matter.

As long as my mother says to kill someone, then go ahead and kill that person!
Liu Bai stayed at home for the next day and never left Madam Liu's side, just glancing at her from time to time.

As a result, it was discovered that Madam Liu did not lie and her injuries were indeed recovering.

And it was even faster than Liu Bai expected.

By evening, only a faint golden line remained of the cracks, and Madam Liu went to the kitchen to cook.

Liu Bai volunteered to say that Madam Liu was not feeling well today, so he would take care of dinner.

But unexpectedly, Madam Liu laughed and said, "You cook? I'm afraid you are poisoning me."

Xiao Cao also agreed after hearing this and said, "That's right, Master, cooking is a waste of food."

Liu Bai: "..."

After dinner, Liu Bai didn't want to sleep alone that night and insisted on sleeping with Madam Liu.

After she refused several times, she finally agreed. Then Liu Bai lay there unable to sleep, so he told Madam Liu about his experiences in the city.

Madam Liu did not interrupt and just listened silently.

After Liu Bai finished speaking, she said, "No need to guess. The sons of Minglong Temple refer to the founders of Minglong Temple."

"They are the adopted sons of Hei Mu. No wonder he always said he had no disciples. It turns out those were his adopted sons."

Madam Liu's tone also sounded like she had heard some gossip.

After hearing Lady Liu's answer, Liu Bai blinked... Can this also be considered a secret?

The son of the moth actually said this.

But if that’s the case, why does Minglongguan want to hide its identity?

Even changed its name to Shenxiao Temple...

Liu Bai felt that if he went back and looked through some history books of that era, he might be able to find some answers to this matter.

After chatting for a while before going to bed, Liu Bai said as usual, "Good night, mother. See you tomorrow," and fell into a deep sleep.

Madam Liu did not sleep all night, and no one knew what she was thinking about.

The next day.

Liu Bai still did not rush to go out, but spent the whole day at home tinkering with the skills he knew. Of course, this was just to pass the time, but more importantly, he did not want to leave in such a hurry.

He wanted to wait until his mother's injuries got better before leaving.

In the evening, Liu Bai, who had just finished dinner, sensed movement coming from the chessboard of life and death. He lit a fire and went out.

I went into the yard and took it out.

This time it was the Red Pawn Ghost who showed up. "Someone is missing, someone is missing. Big news is coming. It's definitely not the fake news that Red Horse said last time."

As soon as he said this, the red horse came out immediately.

"Brother Hongzu, what do you mean? What you said really hurts my sister's heart."

"We are both red chess pieces. We should live in harmony. Why are you so heartless?"

The Red Pawn Ghost stopped talking.

The black elephant appeared, and Liu Bai appeared shortly after.

"Hey, Lord Black General, have you returned to Blood Food City?"

The real position will be displayed on the chessboard of life and death, so the black elephant immediately discovered the change in Liu Bai's position.

"Well, there's nothing new in Yunzhou City, so I came back." Liu Bai said lazily.

"Hehe, Lord Black General, don't panic. After hearing this news from me, you will definitely feel that Yunzhou City is going to be lively again."

The red ghost spoke as if offering a treasure.

"Oh? Then you tell me."

Liu Bai still didn't care, but in fact he had pricked up his ears.

"There is no one who would not listen to this, right?" the Red Pawn Ghost confirmed again.

"Since you said it, let's listen to it." Black Elephant said in a calm tone.

The red horse said nothing.

The Red Pawn Ghost also spoke up, "There is news from Sunset Mountain."

"Hasn't there always been news about Sunset Mountain?" Black Elephant asked back.

"Look, he's in a hurry."

Red Pawn Ghost: "According to reliable information, Sunset Mountain is not actually the name of a mountain. It means... the mountain where the Mu family's treasure is buried. Strange things will only happen at sunset. In other words, you can only find the mountain at sunset. You can't find it at other times."

"What? Is this news true?"

When Black Elephant heard this, his tone changed.

"This cannot be fake, Brother Hongzu." Hongma also spoke.

The Red Pawn Ghost laughed and said, "The first rule we agreed upon was that the news must be authentic, so you can rest assured."

"Okay, I owe you one, now I'm leaving."

"Me too."

The black elephant and the red horse left one after another, and Liu Bai said, "You have quite a lot of information."

"Hehe, I'm glad I can help Lord Black General."

"It's urgent, so I'm going to slip away too."

After sharing the news, the red pawn ran away.

Liu Bai then slowly put away the chessboard and took off his mask, but at this moment, Madam Liu's voice rang in his ears.

"Your letter has arrived. I have been trying to intercept it for you for quite some time."

Liu Bai looked up at the right time and saw the fat carrier pigeon appear out of thin air.

Seeing this, Xiao Cao also said, "Sir, it's quite lively tonight."
