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

Chapter 175 "I have met... Liu Wudi!" [Seeking monthly votes]

On the top of the mountain, even Aunt Tiger couldn't help but stand up and look down.

She was also curious about who had this ability. She had blown the original fire into six parts, but there was someone who could put it together at once.

When she saw Liu Bai's figure, her eyes narrowed subconsciously.

It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a gifted boy, but for a child who looks only five or six years old to have such talent... Aunt Tiger has traveled around the world and has not seen many such people.

At least she knew that the matchmaker's small pond would never be able to raise such a dragon.

"This Yunzhou seems quite interesting. Could it be that there are also ancient clans hiding here?"

Aunt Tiger murmured in her heart.

Beside Liu Bai, Shen Ruoruo lit the candle, and then the six original fires that had originally merged separated out again and floated towards Shen Ruoruo.

The remaining five flew towards Liu Bai again.

The original Wutai altar on this concave ground had long been eaten clean by the ghosts released by the big-headed child.

Ji Changan also returned to the ground and landed on the accumulated water.

No, the original fire has been taken out. If the land that nourishes fire does not nourish fire, the water will naturally lose the effect of accumulating yin.

He stood in the stream and his lower body was wet.

The little ghosts around were still flying towards him, one after another, without any fear of life or death.

Their faces were ferocious, their eyes were bloodshot, and their teeth were all jagged.

The paper man Ji Junlan stayed by his side, constantly beating off the little ghosts that flew towards him and protecting him.

Further away, Niu Ben teamed up with the Water and Fire Sect's ghost walkers to besiege and kill Wu Qiu.

The Hai'er Gang and the ghost walkers of the Laba Sect seemed to be fighting each other, but in fact they were just acting. The fight seemed fierce, but in fact, neither of them had any injuries.

Further away, on the mountain, the incense master of the funeral temple and the Tiger Lady from the Water and Fire Sect were watching the show.

It would be fine if they couldn't use the original fire themselves, but it's not even easy for them to get it.

Why?

Because they felt that the play was not exciting enough or thrilling enough.

So they were unwilling to watch themselves get the original fire easily, but were willing to let the child get it.

Just like storytelling, if you get it easily, then the story would be too bland.

But if a child got it, then the story would be exciting... At this moment, Ji Changan's figure seemed to suddenly rise taller, even taller than Mount Dan.

He saw that there were still many ghost walkers rushing into Mount Xian, and he also saw a few ghost walkers who had a second life and were rushing towards Shuiche'ao.

He fell back and saw that the original fire had reached Liu Bai and was swirling around him.

It seemed as if he could take it into his body at any time.

But at this moment, the paper man Ji Junlan came to him and stood in front of him. Ji Changan stretched out his hand like an eagle claw and tore her back fiercely, directly tearing open the dragon on her spine, and then took out a jade box from it.

The jade box is icy and transparent, long and narrow in shape, with gold edges on the four corners.

At this time, some people had noticed his behavior, but they didn't know what he wanted to do.

After all, the origin of fire has already fallen into Liu Bai's hands...

As Ji Changan raised his hand, a hidden sword emerged from his left hand and scratched the index finger of his right hand. Blood immediately gushed out, and he pointed his finger at the jade box.

In an instant, a ray of blood flashed across the entire jade box, and blood-colored lines appeared on the originally icy jade box.

Immediately, the jade box, which seemed to be sealed, suddenly opened a crack, and then the lid popped open.

What was placed inside... was a roll of golden silk.

There is a dragon-carved silk jade pillar on each side, and the golden silk cloth in the middle is also embroidered with a five-clawed black dragon.

As soon as this silk cloth appeared, the entire depression in Shuiche'ao seemed to have an extra...divine power.

The majesty of heaven loomed over everyone's heart, like a huge rock on someone's back, weighing them down so much that they dared not raise their heads.

It was the first time that Liu Bai encountered such a situation. He tried his best to raise his head, but it felt as difficult as shaking a mountain.

Beside him, Shen Ruoruo also lowered her head, and even showed signs of kneeling down.

As for the other people in the concave area, those who were originally in action all stopped and stayed where they were, not daring to move at all.

It was as if, if one continued to fight at this moment, it would be... extremely disrespectful!

Liu Bai felt that he had seen many big scenes, important figures, and even met a true God in the sky.

On earth, Liu Bai sees his mother who can compete with the true god every day.

But there has never been a time when I have to face and endure this kind of atmosphere.

"This is……"

Behind Liu Bai, Xiao Cao poked his neck and whispered in his mind, "Sir! This is the Emperor's decree!"

"What Ji Changan is holding in his hand should be the imperial edict of the Emperor Chu."

Imperial edict... a familiar yet unfamiliar word sounded in Liu Bai's mind. When he looked at Ji Changan again, he suddenly understood something.

The royal family of the Chu State was surnamed Ji.

The person in front of me is called Ji Changan, or to be more precise, it should be called... Ji Changan!

In this way, it can be explained clearly.

Why does Ji Chang'an have such great financial resources and even know clearly that there is the original fire under the fire-raising ground?

The royal family of Chu.

Although the world is now in ruins and the country is on the verge of collapse, the Ji family, as the royal family of the Chu State, still has extremely impressive strength.

"Sir, it seems that the Emperor of Chu is no longer in good shape. I remember when Xiaocao and the Queen were still in Qin."

"Once the Emperor Qin's imperial edict arrives, everyone in the city will have to kneel down to receive it."

"Now the imperial edict of the Emperor Chu can't even intimidate a few Yang Yang Shen walking Yin people. It seems there is no hope."

Xiaocao said this while shaking her head behind Liu Bai.

Seeing this situation, Ji Changan couldn't help feeling a little sad, but he could do nothing about it.

But even so, he remained serious.

At this time, he represented not only himself, but the entire...Chu royal family, and even the Chu emperor who sat on the throne!
He raised his right hand high and said in a serious tone: "The imperial edict has arrived, you all... accept it!"

As soon as these words were spoken, those people who were still standing there suddenly felt that the pressure behind them seemed to have increased countless times. Their knees softened and they fell to the ground.

At first, it was just the Yin-walking people who had gathered the five qi who had not left yet. Liu Bai also felt that the pressure was getting heavier and heavier.

But the next moment, he felt his body lighten again.

The pressure disappeared completely in an instant.

It even seemed that the air around him was much fresher. Liu Bai breathed a sigh of relief and asked Xiaocao in his mind what was going on.

Xiao Cao raised his head, snorted softly, and said very proudly:

"A mere decree from the Emperor of Chu is enough to make you bow your head? Humph, what are you dreaming about!"

"That's Xiaocao, you helped me?"

"Hey...hey, even though Xiaocao wants to admit it, it's definitely not Xiaocao."

While the two were talking, even Shen Ruoruo had already knelt on her knees, ready to receive the imperial edict from the Emperor of Chu.

On the top of the mountain, the incense master of the funeral temple seemed to have no shame at all. He knelt down and bowed, shouting:

"I accept your order! I wish the Emperor of Chu a long and healthy life."

Ji Changan looked around, and when his eyes swept over Liu Bai, he saw that he did not kneel down. His eyes narrowed slightly but he did not say much. Instead, he looked up at Aunt Tiger on the mountain. He said in a deep voice:

"You are just a mountain tiger monster. With the Emperor Chu's decree before me, do you really think I can't kill you?"

Aunt Tiger, who had originally stood up and was about to leave, hesitated for a long time after hearing this, and finally knelt on one knee with an extremely ugly look on her face.

Seeing this, Ji Changan finally spread out the imperial edict with both hands.

"Nowadays, the world is full of evil spirits and ghosts. You are responsible for the evil spirits and the lives of millions of people."

"It would have been fine if you didn't seek advancement in the past, but now that this origin fire has appeared, you are fighting for it."

Ji Changan did not look at the contents of the imperial edict, but looked at the many people who were hiding behind the scenes, pointing and talking.

Liu Bai sneered when he heard this.

What does it mean that even the origin of fire comes out and people fight for it?

Could it be that this origin fire is naturally yours and you can't even snatch it from you?

Xiao Cao probably guessed what Liu Bai was thinking, and immediately explained in his mind:

"Sir, this is true. No matter which country's royal family is from, they all think that all the good things in the world should belong to their royal family."

"It's better to pass through this chaotic world. It was like that before."

"The Queen said that the royal family is the biggest gang of robbers in the world, so no matter which country the royal family is from, the Queen has never treated them well."

Liu Bai listened and nodded, "Mom is right."

While they were talking, Ji Changan turned around abruptly, pointed at Aunt Tiger and the Incense Master on the mountain, and said with a sinister smile:
"You two, you clearly don't need this Origin Fire anymore, but you are still turning the situation upside down for your own selfish reasons."

"Just because I have a second life, does that mean I can do whatever I want with the world just because I am sitting on the top of the mountain?"

"You are just frogs in the well."

The incense master of the funeral temple, Liu Bai's "good brother", instead of getting angry when he heard this, nodded repeatedly.

"You are right, you are right. Common people are just frogs in the well."

After hearing this, Aunt Tiger stood up directly. At this moment, all the bones in her body made a "cracking" sound.

After she stood up, she stared at Ji Changan at the foot of the mountain and sneered, "Young man, everyone respects the imperial edict in your hand, not you, an ignorant child." "Do you really think that just because you have an imperial edict in your hand, everyone will bow down to you?"

Ji Changan held the imperial edict in his hand and looked at Grandma Hu who was standing on the top of the mountain.

He gathered up the imperial edict, raised his left hand high, pointed his right hand at Aunt Tiger, and laughed like a madman, "Ancestor, did you see that?"

"This is the kingdom of our Ji family today. A mere tiger demon that can only stand on a mountain dares to point fingers at our Ji family."

"Ancestor, this is our kingdom!"

Ji Changan roared and knelt on his knees, with the imperial edict still held high, but he kowtowed heavily to the ground.

"Ji Chang'an, the unworthy descendant, begs the ancestor to help me!"

The loud sound spread throughout the entire valley.

The words of the grass were still ringing in Liu Bai's mind, "This must be a prince of the Ji family. When he can't win, he calls me sister and ancestor. He doesn't have any strength at all. Most of those princes are useless like this."

But in front of Liu Bai... he saw a figure slowly appearing behind Ji Changan.

The man had a handsome face and a tall stature, as if he was born from Ji Chang'an. When he appeared from behind him, his figure grew very quickly. By the time he stood firmly, he was already ten feet tall.

He was wearing golden armor, holding a huge golden sword in both hands, and looking forward.

He hadn't even made a move when an aura even more domineering than the previous imperial edict spread.

The others didn't even dare to look up, but Liu Bai saw his face.

But he thought of a person he had seen in the history books of the Chu State, the only King Zhenbei of the Chu State a thousand years ago and even until now.

Before him, there was basically a King of Zhenbei in every dynasty.

But since him, no one in the entire Chu State dared to call himself the King of Zhenbei.

There is only one King of Zhenbei, Ji Qian from the Ji family.

According to historical records, Ji Qian guarded the northern gate of Chu for 120 years without a single defeat. He even led the Northern Guard Army to the capital of Wei in the north.

In the end, it even forced the then Wei Emperor to sign the "Annual Tribute Treaty."

It can be said that the State of Chu, with the King of Zhenbei in power, was the undisputed number one among the three major countries at that time.

The shadow in front of him was none other than the King of Zhenbei, Ji Qian.

Xiao Cao also muttered in Liu Bai's mind: "Hey, it's him. It seems that Ji Changan's talent should be quite good."

"The Ji family actually let him bear Ji Qian's ashes."

Before Liu Bai could ask, he saw Ji Qian raising his right hand and waving in his direction.

In an instant, the original fire that was originally circling around him and was about to enter his body was snatched away again.

"This……"

Liu Bai was furious when he saw this. Just when he was thinking about whether to let him learn some lessons, he heard Xiao Cao whisper in his ear:
"Don't be impatient, sir."

As soon as Xiaocao said this, Liu Bai understood and was no longer anxious.

Then he watched Ji Qian take the original fire and then inject it into Ji Changan's body.

The latter first showed a painful expression, and then a look of relief.

After going through so much trouble for a long time, he was finally forced to call out to his ancestor, and finally got the original fire.

And that's all of it.

After Ji Qian finished this task, he looked up at Grandma Tiger who was sweating profusely on the top of the mountain.

He spoke softly, but everyone in the valley listened attentively.

"Since when does a little kitten dare to jump up and hurt people?"

After saying that, he picked up the huge sword in one hand and slashed at the Tiger Girl on the top of the mountain.

It was just a simple chop, without any fancy moves.

On the top of the mountain, Aunt Tiger also took out the giant sword that looked like a door panel from behind her.

This man and this demon seem to have the same ways.

Seeing this, Ji Qian also laughed and said, "If you don't die from my blow, you can live!"

When Aunt Tiger heard this, a glimmer of hopelessness suddenly appeared in her eyes.

She originally held the giant sword in both hands, but now she bit it with her big mouth.

The tiger leaped up.

The giant sword collided with the sword energy.

Liu Bai just heard a "bang" sound, and there seemed to be a crack on the giant sword of Aunt Tiger.

Yu Ze herself was knocked away and fell into the jungle in the distance, letting out a painful roar.

But fortunately, judging from the sound, he should be alive.

Ji Qian nodded, "He does have some skills."

Then he turned around and looked at the incense master of the funeral temple on the mountain.

The incense master who was kneeling on the ground immediately shouted: "I am loyal to the State of Chu, please understand, Your Majesty."

Ji Qian spoke simply.

"All the people in the funeral temple deserve to die."

After saying that, he swung out another sword.

Compared to Aunt Tiger who dared to face the attack head-on, the incense master had no courage at all. He shouted "The wind is strong, hurry up", and then dived into the ground and disappeared.

It seemed that Ji Qian's sword missed, but he didn't even look at it again.

He knew whether the sword had missed the target or not.

After turning around, he looked at the remaining ghosts, but compared to dealing with Aunt Tiger and the incense master of the funeral temple.

He was still much more casual.

In short, he just chopped them into pieces with a few sword strikes.

But when he finally came in front of Niu Ben, he seemed to have realized something and asked, "Is Niu Youdao your ancestor?"

Niu Ben was stunned for a moment, then nodded vigorously and said happily: "That's right, Niu Youdao is my ancestor. I am the 27th generation descendant, and he is the 8th generation descendant."

Ji Qian added: "Niu Youdao was fearless in the battle at Laoyi Mountain. He was shot with 28 bone-piercing arrows, but he still died facing north."

"Your ancestor Yuyin, you can live."

As he spoke, Ji Qian even raised his hand and separated a trace of the original fire from Ji Chang'an's body, letting it fall on Niu Ben.

"This thing is meant for you, so go ahead."

Niu Ben heard this, felt the changes in the life fire in his body, and bowed deeply, "Thank you, King Zhenbei."

Ji Qian no longer looked at him. He also knelt down, then flew up the mountain and left.

At this point, Ji Qian's gaze finally fell on Liu Bai. As for Shen Ruoruo beside him, she was subconsciously ignored by him, or rather, regarded as Liu Bai's maid.

He lowered his head slightly, looked at Liu Bai seriously, and said at first:

"You are very talented, you are definitely not an ordinary person."

"Could it be that ordinary people don't have the same talent as me?" Liu Bai asked back.

Ji Qian shook his head. "The old saying that like dragons, like phoenixes, is not nonsense."

After saying that, he frowned again, "But why do I feel like you look familiar?"

Liu Bai was just wondering if this man had any connection with his mother, after all, the King of Zhenbei was active a thousand years ago.

In that era, there were also stories about mothers.

Just at this moment, Xiaocao slowly poked its head out from behind Liu Bai, and then, in the panicked eyes of King Zhenbei, it stood on Liu Bai's shoulder.

Xiaocao put her hands on her hips, and was about to say something that she had been holding back for a long time.

But at this moment, another figure walked out from behind Liu Bai, a female figure.

Just like when the King of Zhenbei Ji Qian walked out from behind Ji Changan before.

A person also walked out from behind Liu Bai.

As soon as she appeared, she reached out and pressed Xiaocao's head. The words that Xiaocao had been holding back for a long time were immediately suppressed back into his stomach.

Liu Bai turned his head slightly and saw the familiar figure, but... it seemed a little different.

Because the one who came this time was not my mother's real body.

They were not the other two human skin mothers, but more like... the shadow of the mother, but upon closer inspection, they did not look like her.

Because this mother seems to have a very similar aura to mine.

Suddenly, Liu Bai thought of something, and he also understood where the mother in front of him came from!
But Madam Liu ignored him and looked at Ji Qian in front of her.

Madam Liu looked at him and asked softly:
"What? You couldn't beat me back then, and now you want to bully my son?"

King Ji Qian of Zhenbei was sweating profusely, and even his body couldn't stop shaking, but the expression on his face was extremely unwilling.

“Liu…Liu Qingyi!”

Ji Qian said while gritting his teeth.

Madam Liu's voice sank, and she asked with some uncertainty, "What... did you call me?"

In this second question, Ji Qian was finally defeated. At this moment, he seemed to have lost all his energy and spirit, and even his body that was dozens of feet tall had returned to its normal size.

He said: "The defeated general Ji Qian greets... Liu Wudi."
