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

Chapter 183 True God's Token! [Seeking Moon Soul]

Is my eldest brother in danger?!

Liu Bai instantly perked up. Based on his understanding of his eldest brother, the gargoyle, this guy... is very cunning.

He is the type of person who will never take action unless he is 98% sure.

It is also extremely good at preserving life and escaping. If a person who cultivates the Yang Spirit and walks in the Yin direction encounters it in the wild, it is estimated that they will not be able to defeat it.

Liu Bai continued to read the contents of the letter.

"I am now in Jiyun Mountain, about 250 kilometers southeast of Yunzhou City. There is a mountain spirit with a ghost body in this mountain. It has cultivated into a human form and lured me here, intending to surround and kill me.

Now I am trapped inside the Cumulus Mountain and dare not go out.

But he has been chiseling the mountain all the time, and I guess he will catch me out in less than a day.

If it is inconvenient for my third brother, please send a message to my fourth sister and ask her to help me place an order with the Paper Umbrella Association to save lives.

Thank you!!”

Liu Bai turned his head to take a look, then thought to himself that if he wanted to rescue him, he would probably have to set off now.

Then I also have to go to the matchmaking meeting.

No matter what, I am still labeled as a "matchmaker gang member".

Even if you go back by yourself, you can be promoted from a "matchmaker" to a "destined matchmaker".

You can get a "Destiny Bell" for free.

But here at home...

Although he hadn't seen Sister Hong yet, Liu Bai guessed that if Gongsun Shi and the others were going to Yunzhou City, given Sister Hong and Aunt Huang's personalities, they wouldn't be able to sit still.

She will definitely go.

It would be better for us to meet in Yunzhou City. As for the rest, my strength has already been broken through, and my Yin Spirit has been cultivated. All that’s left is to learn the art of “Wild Fire”.

But when it comes to academics, you can learn it anywhere.

As for saving this gargoyle, it is not a big pressure for Liu Bai. He can even catch a mountain spirit of the ghost-casting level. If it is suitable... he can even have a good meal!
The only thing that makes me feel a little sad is that I have just returned to my mother's side and have not been with her for a few days, but I have to leave again.

"It's alright, young master. The queen said that a good man has ambitions!"

Xiaocao looked at the contents of the letter and when she saw the hesitant Liu Bai, she guessed what he was thinking.

"Too."

Liu Bai wrote back to the gargoyle with just two short words - wait for me.

I believe that after seeing this letter, he should be able to feel relieved.

Hu Wei and Liu Tie were so angry after eating the mountain leopard that they had no choice but to light a fire near the mountains to drive away the evil spirits.

Liu Bai didn't go looking for them, but just said something to Master Ma and Liuzi.

I went back first because I had something to do.

When Mr. Ma, who was originally in high spirits, heard that Liu Bai was leaving, the smile on his face disappeared, "Leaving now?"

"Well, there's something going on outside." Liu Bai didn't elaborate.

Master Ma subconsciously took off his pipe, reached into the tobacco bag at his waist, twisted a few shreds and stuffed them into his pipe.

"You've gone far away now. I'm old now, and there's nothing I can do to help you. I even need your help..."

"What are you talking about, Master Ma?" Liu Bai said with a smile, "Even if you are young, you can't help me."

The emotions that Master Ma had managed to build up were instantly shattered. He waved his hands and cursed, "Get lost, Liuzi, don't come here again. I get angry when I see you."

Liu Bai laughed out loud and went out.

Only when he saw that he had completely left the Ma family farm and could no longer be seen did Liuzi step forward, come to the side of Master Ma, and skillfully put his hand into his master's tobacco bag and grabbed some tobacco.

Master Ma, who was smoking a pipe, glared at him and said, "You don't have any cigarettes, right? Why are you smoking mine?"

"Hey, Master, this is more expensive and better to smoke."

"My cheap one hurt my throat."

Liuzi was not shy either. He rubbed the cigarette with his hands to light it and started smoking.

"What did Master just want to say to Junior Brother Liu?"

Master Ma exhaled a puff of smoke and said, "He is young, talented, and strong. He often cannot control his temper and is arrogant. I am afraid that he will not be able to beat those old foxes outside and will suffer losses."

Liuzi also nodded, "Indeed, then why didn't Master say anything?"

Liuzi knew that his master was not a man who cared much about his reputation, so he would naturally not say anything just because Liu Bai said that.

He didn't say it, so he naturally had his own thoughts.

"Say? Then I thought, what's there to say?"

"He is very young, a teenager. If he is not full of ambition and vigor...can he still be called a teenager?" Master Ma said with a grin.

"Others may not be able to do so, but he... should be full of confidence."

"..."

Above the night sky, a black light streaked across the night sky and went straight to the northeast.

Jiyun Mountain is in the southeast of Yunzhou City, but in the northeast of Xueshi City. Liu Bai returned home, but he didn't even see his mother.

Madam Liu knew what he was going to do, so she just said "Go away" and let it go.

Liu Bai then left.

About an hour later, Liu Bai gradually slowed down and began to look for traces of Jiyun Mountain among the numerous mountains.

But he couldn't find it by himself, so he had to stop and find a mountain spirit to ask for directions. Only then did he find the location of Jiyun Mountain.

It was said to be Cumulus Mountain, and it really was Cumulus Mountain.

It is still Chou time at this moment and the mountain fog has not risen yet, but the Cumulus Mountain is already shrouded in clouds and mist.

Liu Bai landed on the adjacent mountain and looked at the magnificent mountains. This place was considered deep in the forest. How did the gargoyle, Old Deng, get tricked into coming here?

Liu Bai looked around, restraining his breath so as not to disturb other things.

But at the same time, he did not see the mountain spirit with a ghost-like body in the Jiyun Mountain in front of him.

The fog in front of him seemed to block his vision. He looked from afar and everything in front of him seemed blurry.

"Sir, just write a letter and ask the gargoyle and you'll know where they are."

"Ah."

Liu Bai also prepared for this. He took out the golden whistle from Xumi, blew it gently, and waited for about three or five breaths. Then a carrier pigeon flew out.

Liu Bai was standing on the top of the mountain, writing a letter to his eldest brother, Gargoyle, but out of the corner of his eye he saw a hint of movement at the foot of the Cumulus Mountain in front of him.

Someone...lit a fire.

The literal meaning is lighting a fire, not lighting the life fire. At the foot of the mountain, you can see a few balls of fire, as if a night traveler has lit a night fire pot.

After Liu Bai sent the carrier pigeon away, Xiaocao also saw the obvious forest fire.

"Sir, there's someone here."

"In this old forest, even at night, there are people either hunting for treasure or hiding treasure."

Xiao Cao also has a lot of experience. "Traveling at night requires a lot of attention, but most of the time they have a large shipment, otherwise they wouldn't take the risk."

"What's this? Just go over and take a look."

Liu Bai acted evilly and without any taboos. He just left when he said he would, his body sticking close to the treetops, silently passing through the old forest, and finally landed quietly behind the group of people and followed them.

There were three people in the group, each holding a wooden stick. In front of them was an iron fire basket with pine wood burning inside, with pine wood oil falling from time to time.

Of course, the most eye-catching thing is the heads of these three people. One has a wolf's head, one has a bear's head, and the one leading the way has a tiger's head.

Now that they were closer, Liu Bai had to blink to see the true faces of the three people in front of him. Otherwise, if he just looked for a little longer, he would have found that the ones walking in front of him were three wild beasts.

The tiger leads, followed by the bear, and the wolf follows behind.

Even Liu Bai felt this way, not to mention the other evil spirits remaining in Jiyun Mountain.

I just don’t know if the ghost-like body can see clearly. The others, even if they are gargoyles, cannot see the true forms of the three people in front of them.

"Sir, these three are going to hide the treasure. There must be a good place nearby."

Xiaocao still has some knowledge.

"How to say?"

Liu Bai followed from a distance, asking questions, and Xiao Cao replied, "I have seen their method, it is called 'Dragon-Tiger Beast Body'. When it is most complete, it uses the head of the dragon as the head and the mountain tiger as the tail."

"If we gather all of this, then even gods and ghosts will be afraid of us. Even the young master will have to give way to us."

Liu Bai followed for a while, and after passing a hill covered with fir thorns, the three of them finally found a clean place to sit down.

The leading tiger said, "We are almost there now. We have been drawing the mountain for so long. When the hundreds of ghosts return to their cages at the hour of Mao, we will start."

"Boss, it is an evil spirit with a ghost body after all. Can our method...kill it?"

The person with the bear head in the middle was actually a woman, but Liu Bai didn't realize that.

The woman was wearing a loose blue shirt, and the bra was probably used as a chest binder, or maybe her clothes were flat to begin with. In short, there was no other distinctive feature from her appearance.

The last wolf said, "Hey, you guys were involved in the incident in Haizhou before, so you didn't know about it."

"Our dragon-tiger beast bodies have defeated the evil spirits of ghost casting bodies, so it won't be a problem."

"Third brother, what you said makes sense. Second brother, don't worry. Tonight...it's done!"

The tiger-headed boss said with a smile.

Liu Bai had to tilt his ear to hear clearly. If he was facing them directly, he could only hear whispers.

You also have to listen carefully to hear it clearly.

But Xiaocao didn't know why, but she heard it clearly.

"Sir, they want to attack the mountain spirit. You are also a ghost. Imagine if you strike first, and when they come up, they don't see the mountain spirit but you. That would be fun."

"really."

Liu Bai, who was leaning against the old pine tree, waved his hand casually, and the carrier pigeon fell into his hand. He opened it and took a look.

"Third brother, come quickly. The mountain spirit is now on the east side of Mount Cumulus, about halfway up the mountain. It is digging a hole to look for me. I can't hide for much longer!"

East...

Liu Bai looked up. He was coming from the south side of Jiyun Mountain.

Then he glanced at the three shepherds who were hiding their treasures, and his figure suddenly disappeared from the spot. Under the cover of night, Liu Bai stuck to the trees on the hillside of Jiyun Mountain, turned around, and found the traces left by the ghost-like mountain spirit.

There is a hole on the top of the mountain wall, a cave about half a person's height. Judging from the rock chips next to it, the hole is very new, as if it had just been dug not long ago.

Liu Bai sniffed again and knew what this mountain spirit was.

The pangolins that have been practicing Taoism in the mountains for many years are the fastest at digging holes in the forests, not to mention that this one is a mountain spirit with a ghost-like body.

You can smell the fishy smell at the entrance of the cave.

"Sir, do you want to go in?"

"Why go in?"

Liu Bai restrained his breath, and then wrote back to the boss gargoyle. This time it was still just two simple words - come out!
The carrier pigeon was released, and this time it was faster.

In less than half an incense stick of time, Liu Bai, who was floating outside the cave entrance, saw a ghostly figure appearing on the stone wall about thirty feet below him. Then the ghostly figure disappeared, and a stone man fell off the stone wall.

Liu Bai's figure floated down, suspended in mid-air and landed in front of the big gargoyle.

"Third brother, this... this time I am really troubling you."

The gargoyle's face still could not be seen, but even by listening to its voice, one could hear the sadness in its words. It was estimated that this trip would make it more cautious in the future.

"It's okay, we are all brothers."

As Liu Bai spoke these touching words, the sound of claws breaking through the mountain wall behind him could already be heard.

The gargoyle shuddered and quickly hid behind Liu Bai, without any dignity as a boss.

And what about Liu Bai?

If the gargoyle was not here, he might have transformed into a human form and tried to test the power of his Yin God.

But now... he watched the mountain wall in front of him being pierced like paper, and then he saw a scaly head popping out.

Pangolins... have little meat.

But there is still meat.

In this case, we naturally cannot let it go. After all, no matter what, this is a mountain spirit with a ghost-like body.

The pangolin in front of him was stunned when he saw the evil spirit suddenly appearing in front of him, and then subconsciously wanted to shrink back.

The evil spirits in the mountains are all cowardly and afraid of death. Previously, they did not sense Liu Bai's breath at all through the mountain wall.

It was only three or five meters away that it saw it, and only then did it realize that there was an evil creature with a ghost body in front of it. How could it not run away?
But then it discovered that before its forehead could even retreat back into the mountain, it was struck by a divine thunder.

With just a "click", it became dizzy and trembling all over.

After that, it felt as if it was picked up by someone and a voice sounded in its ears.

"Look, it only takes two steps to kill this thing. First, grab its tail. Second, pull it up!"

Before the pangolin woke up, it felt an indescribable pain coming from behind it, going straight to its forehead. Its eyelids fluttered and it fainted.

Then the gargoyle saw that the mountain spirit who was chasing him to no avail was stripped of all his scales by his third brother in just a few moves.

Liu Bai looked it up and down, and after making sure that there were really no scales left, he struck it with another bolt of lightning.

This pangolin is already in a coma.

After shivering for a while, his life of drilling in the mountains came to an end.

"All right."

In front of the big gargoyle, Liu Bai had nothing to hide. With a thought, he put the pangolin's body into Sumeru.

Seeing this situation, the gargoyle was not alarmed. In his opinion, with his third brother's strength, it would be strange if he didn't even have this Sumeru.

"Boss, what's wrong with you? Why are you trapped here?"

This place is thousands of mountains away from the area where the gargoyles are.

If ordinary people walked at their speed, it would probably take them ten or eight days to get there, and that's assuming there were no evil spirits blocking the way.

Normally, this gargoyle would not run so far if there was nothing wrong.

"Alas, it's all because of me that I was bewildered. I actually believed what the ghost said." The gargoyle was very regretful.

But Xiao Cao sighed and said, "Aren't you a ghost? How come you are so obsessed with the world?"

No matter when, no matter who you are facing.

Xiaocao can always choke others to death with just one sentence... just like now.

The gargoyle held it in for a long time before he spoke again: "There is a blind ghost under this mountain spirit. I am an old acquaintance of mine. A few days ago, the ghost sent me a message saying that his boss, the pangolin spirit, found a great treasure..."

"Third brother, you also know that pangolins burrow into mountains and walk underground all year round, so it's common for them to find good things."

"Then what?" Liu Bai asked with interest.

"Then this ghost said that this treasure is a good thing that can help me forge a ghost body..."

"So you came?"

"I have to come now." The gargoyle spread his hands, "To be honest, I have been stuck at this step for decades. Now I heard the news and I came here naturally."

"But I never thought that the blind ghost would trick me into coming here. In my rage, I helped it transform into a Yin Pearl, and then the mountain spirit chased me all the way here."

After the gargoyle finished explaining the reason, Liu Bai looked at it a few more times.

"Be more careful next time, you're such an old fool."

"Okay, I'm really sorry to bother you this time, Third Brother. I'll never forget your life-saving grace!"

After the gargoyle finished speaking, he even wanted to kowtow to Liu Bai, but Liu Bai stopped him, "There are three outsiders downstairs, and they will probably come soon. If you have nothing to do, go back first."

"it is good."

Without the mountain spirit with a ghost body blocking the way, the gargoyle was not afraid to go back alone. But before leaving, he thought of something and turned around and said, "Third brother, there should be a lot of good things in the mountain spirit's nest. You can go and take a look."

"Ah."

Now that I’m here and have killed the monster, how can I forget to touch the corpse?
Seeing the gargoyle leave, Liu Bai collected the scales on the ground. The pangolin scales could be worth a good price. He couldn't use them himself, but they would be good for Situ Hong and the others.

Seeing this, Xiaocao also admired Liu Bai's thriftiness.

Afterwards, Liu Bai walked around the Cumulus Mountain again, and finally found the pangolin's nest in a dense forest near the top of the mountain.

There was an extremely fishy smell inside, so Liu Bai transformed into a human form and lit a fire.

The burning life fire burned away the strange smell in front of him and also dispelled some evil spirits. Then he put a few more fires in and turned into a ghost body before moving forward and deeper into the cave.

The pangolin's den is not deep. Once you enter the mountain, you will reach the bottom in less than ten meters.

At the end is a round stone chamber, and on the left is a bed made of straw. It is obvious that this mountain spirit is still used to its original body and has not transformed into a human form to live.

On the right side of the stone chamber, there were three holes dug out on the stone wall, each with something placed in it.

The one on the left is some Yin beads, red, green, and white, piled together.

The one on the right is randomly piled with some aged yam herbs or some rare things.

As for the mountain spirit or something like that, I guess it had already been eaten by the pangolin itself.

What attracted Liu Bai's attention the most was naturally the thing above the hole in the middle.

They were not placed there, nor were they randomly piled up. Instead, they were carefully hung on the mountain wall.

That was... a mask.

Unlike the ghost mask of Liu Baiyinshen, the mask hanging here seems to be made of clay and is white in color. It looks like an old man, with a bald head and a very dense beard, even the beard hanging down from the temples is white, and the earlobes are very large, which clearly shows a blessed image.

Not only that, there was even an altar and incense burner placed in front of the pit, with three thick incense sticks still burning.

This mountain spirit actually knew that the mask was being offered with incense.

Liu Bai just looked at the mask a few more times and felt as if he was being stared at by the mask.

Not only that, he even discovered that the eyeballs of the mask were actually moving around, changing from their original dull look to looking at him.

At this moment, Liu Bai's hair stood on end, as if a thorn was on his back.

Just when he was wondering whether he should be struck by lightning, the mask... spoke.

"You killed the mountain elf? It seems that you want to become the new messenger of God."

The voice was old, and seemed to carry a hint of bewitching meaning, making people feel like kneeling down for some unknown reason.

not right...

Xiao Cao was shouting frantically in Liu Bai's head: "Master, this is a token from the true God. It's a token from the true God! Put it away quickly!"

Liu Bai's mind moved, and he stopped without saying a word. Immediately, all the things in the three pits in front of him were collected into Xumi.

His Sumeru space was nearly infinite, and to be on the safe side, he let go of the "true God's token" mentioned by the grass far away.

At the same time, he also noticed that since he put the mask into Xumi.

This mask seemed to have lost its charm, as if it had turned into an ordinary mask, without any magical power.

To be on the safe side, Liu Bai walked around the mountain elf's den again. After making sure that he didn't find anything unusual, he asked, "What's the matter with this mask?"

Xiao Cao's eyes widened, his black eyes staring straight ahead, and then he said:

"The true God is about to awaken."

"Before they awaken, they will pass down their tokens, feast on the incense and offerings of the world, and seize the offerings of the human world."

"The mask you just received, sir, is a token of a true god. I just don't know which true god it belongs to. If you take it back to show the queen, she will definitely know."

Xiaocao also knows something, but not much.

"Then what's the use of me holding this?" This is what Liu Bai cared about.

"Sir, what you said is true. The true God is the most fair."

"If you make offerings to the true God, the true God will give you a reward... Remember, any reward will do."

"As long as you offer enough offerings, the rewards from the true gods will be greater."

At this moment, the grass seemed to have turned into a messenger of God, bewitching Liu Bai's heart again and again.

Offering sacrifices to the true God... At this time, Liu Bai also knew how to offer sacrifices to the true God.

What is offering blood food?
For the true gods, the Yin people are their blood food.

It was precisely because of this that Zhou Bala wanted to cooperate with Liu Bai and let Liu Bai, the evil spirit, kill the evil spirit.

It was precisely because of this that Madam Liu was able to see it at a glance.

Zhou Bala has already come into contact with the Divine Religion...

Now Liu Bai has actually found a token of a true God in Jiyun Mountain. Although he still doesn't know which true God it belongs to, it doesn't matter.

Having and not having are two different things.

"Young Master, let me tell you a secret. In fact, the Queen said it a long time ago. She said that those cults will eventually bring disaster to the world."

"And in the end, all the disputes in the world, whether between ghost walkers or ghost walkers and evil spirits, will eventually be concentrated into disputes between religious cults."

"So the more true god tokens you have, the better. It would be best if you had one from each religion."

Xiaocao sat on Liubai's shoulders with her legs hugged, chattering non-stop.

Liu Bai was also thinking, since he didn't believe in the true God anyway, he would have a bunch of tokens in his hands...

When you go out, your identity is given by yourself.

When the time comes, it will be up to you to decide which true God you want to "believe in", right?

Moreover, he already had a token of the true God in front of him, but offering it to the true God... he had never thought of doing this.

First of all, he didn't want to do this job.

Secondly…he is the one who wants to kill gods!
If this is the case, how can we worship the true God? !

Offering sacrifices to the true God is called aiding the enemy! It is a taboo. What he wants to do is not to offer sacrifices, but to hinder others from offering sacrifices.

For example, at this moment, although we don’t know which true God Zhou Bala is worshipping, it is right to stop him from worshipping.

In this way, Liu Bai felt that he had one more job besides academics.

That is to kill the followers of the Divine Religion and obstruct the worship of the Divine Religion!
"Sir, those ghosts should be coming up soon. Why don't you kill them and make an offering to them? Xiaocao is already so old, but he has never seen what it's like to make an offering to a true god."

After hearing this, Liu Bai sneered and said, "Why don't I massacre the people of Yunzhou City and offer sacrifices to the whole city? Wouldn't that be better? Maybe I can become the strongest ghost walker in Chu State in one fell swoop."

"Yeah!"

The grass immediately perked up, but soon it wilted again, "Not so good, sir, you're not strong enough yet. Wait until your ghost body gets stronger and you become a real 'filth', then maybe it will be possible."

Xiaocao didn't understand what Liu Bai said, but he actually analyzed it seriously to see what kind of strength was needed to massacre the entire Yunzhou City.

"Okay, they're coming up."

After Liu Bai finished speaking, Xiao Cao immediately shrank behind him and was about to get into his clothes.

Liu Bai's mind moved, and he suddenly transformed from a ghost body into a human body.

Xiaocao immediately understood what Liu Bai wanted to do, and did not hide, but just lay behind him.

Before Liu Bai could light the life fire, he heard footsteps outside the cave, followed by the sight of fire.

There was also the "crackling" sound of the fire igniting the resin, and the sound like a moth flying into the flames and being burned to death.

Liu Bai, who was originally thinking about going out to receive guests, did not move.

After just three or two breaths, the big tiger-headed man who walked in first stopped.

The wolf-headed third brother behind him was still asking, "What's wrong, big brother? Didn't you say that the pangolin wasn't at home? Why don't you take the treasure quickly?"

Xiong Lao Er looked up and shut up.

"I said I just got here too, do you believe me?" Liu Bai wanted to say something to ease the situation, but then he changed his mind and realized that even if he said that, they might not take action... so he just added a sentence.

"Well, you won't believe me, so I'll tell you the truth. All the good stuff of this mountain elf is with me."

After Liu Bai finished speaking, he patted the cloth bag behind him.

The three shepherds, who had no idea how far they had walked and how much energy they had expended to get here, stopped.

No words were spoken, but no fire was lit either.

The third wolf at the end also shut up. He knew that the situation before him was definitely not ordinary.

The three of them were waiting for the reply from the Tiger-Head Boss. Even a dark shadow emerged from the sheepskin bag around the Tiger-Head Boss's waist.

That was the servant ghost he kept.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Cao behind Liu Bai also poked his head out and said, "My young master has intercepted your Hu. All the good things have been taken by my young master."

As always, Xiaocao said the most irritating words in the most plain tone.

After it said this, Liu Bai could even clearly see the blue veins on the tiger-headed boss' neck twitching.

But perhaps it was this sentence that made Tiger Head Boss speak. His throat moved slightly and a hoarse voice came out from it.

"Haha, since this young master got there first, it must be his ability."

"Congratulations."

As he spoke, he clasped his fists towards Liu Bai, and the fire basket in his hand hit the stone wall, sending out countless sparks.

Looking at the shepherd in front of him who was a little too tactful, Liu Bai felt a little helpless.

From the looks of it, it would be better to act timid from the beginning. This way, the other party might see that you are afraid and might even take a risk.

But now it seems that there is only one way to go, to the end.

Liu Bai thought about it and looked at the bear head and wolf head behind the tiger head. These three are Yin-nourishing gods.

It’s almost the same as me. Logically, they should have tried to take action at this time... These old shepherds who are holding back their treasure are so damn disgusting.

Seeing this, Tiger Head Boss thought Liu Bai was going out, so he quickly moved aside with the fire basket in his hand, "Young Master, please come in."

Liu Bai thought about it and decided to give it one last try.

"It took me a lot of effort to walk from Yizhou to your Jiangzhou, and I also spent a lot of money on these Yin beads."

In a word, it shows that I am a foreigner who came from far away.

He has no local power and is easy to bully, and there is also a hint that Liu Bai wants to blackmail him.

Xiong Lao Er naturally understood Liu Bai's thoughts, and wanted to take a step forward with his right foot, but was blocked by the stick of Tiger Boss.

"Haha, it is fate that I meet you in this deep mountain. It's a pity that I can't fulfill the duties of a good host... It's really inappropriate. Please accept these Yin beads."

As Tiger Head Boss said this, he grabbed a handful of beads from the pouch on his chest. The first two were red beads, and the rest were green beads.

He just raised his hand, motioning Liu Bai to take it.

So Liu Bai really went to get it, and he did so without any hesitation or fear.

He walked forward a few steps and took the Yin beads from the man's thick, calloused right hand.

She even looked up and looked at him.

Liu Bai hopes that they will take action, so that he will have a chance to try out the power of his Yin God.

But even though he had already put the Yin Pearl into his sleeve, the Tiger-Headed Boss showed no signs of taking any action.

Not only him, but also the two guys following behind him were the same.

Liu Bai sighed upon seeing this. This was a bit too tactful, and it made him feel embarrassed to take action again.

Whatever!

The other party was so cautious, so it seemed that he would live a long life. There was no reason for him to die in my hands.

"Thank you very much."

Liu Bai also clasped his fists in imitation of the others, and Xiao Cao even made a face at the ghost attached to the waist of the tiger-headed boss and stuck out his tongue.

He looks like a bully who relies on the power of others.

Liu Bai walked past the three of them as if no one was around, until they reached the entrance of the cave, and none of them showed any signs of taking action.

Liu Bai sighed again and had to turn around. At this moment, the tiger-headed boss suddenly acted as if he was facing a formidable enemy.

It was as if he was already prepared for Liu Bai to take action.

"It's boring."

Liu Bai shook his head, put the Yin Pearl he had just extorted on the stone pier beside him, and said irritably, "This is so boring."

Then he took a few steps and rushed into the dense forest next to him, immediately transformed into a ghost, soared into the sky, and then went straight to the northwest.

That is the direction of Yunzhou City.

They stayed in the cave for a long time before they dared to move.

The second bear head immediately said: "This... Boss, can't we even give it a try?"

"I'm still a little unwilling to let him go like this."

Although Wolf No. 3 didn't say anything, the way he repeatedly looked at Tiger No. 1 also revealed some of his thoughts.

Tiger Head Boss was not angry after hearing this. He just walked to the entrance of the cave silently with the fire basket and took back all the Yin beads.

"Back then, I had a senior brother who also learned the sheep-leading technique with me. He was very talented. If I remember correctly, he had already mastered the technique when he was sixteen years old. That year... I was just getting started."

"He had already developed his Yin Spirit at that time, while I was still burning my spirit body."

The Tiger Head Boss had already led the two people behind him out of the cave and returned the same way.

"Then what? Doesn't that mean he has cultivated a second life now?" asked the second bear-headed man.

“Oh.” Tiger Head Boss sneered and shook his head. “I heard the news of his death in the second year after he came out of the mountains.”

As soon as he said this, Second Bear and Third Wolf had already guessed what he wanted to say.

"Being safe is a good thing. That senior brother must have offended someone he shouldn't have offended, right?"

"Thank you for your teachings, big boss." After the second bear finished speaking, the third wolf followed suit and said, "Besides, it's just a loss of some Yin beads. How can you always gain something when you go out? It's good enough that you can save your life. I think it's better to find another good place."

Boss Tiger, who was walking in the front, hummed.

"As long as you understand."

The three of them lit a fire and slowly walked down the mountain. Boss Tiger didn't say anything, just like what he had just said.

He did have such a senior brother, but the ending was not what they guessed.

That senior brother did die, but it was not because he offended someone he shouldn't have offended, but because after he came out of the mountains, he was leading sheep again, and in order to save the people of a village, he ended up dying together with an evil spirit.

He saved the village, but at the cost of himself.

I remember when the news was passed back to the mountain gate, many fellow disciples scolded him for being stupid, saying that he was not killed by the evil spirit, but died because of his own stupidity.

Tiger Head Boss didn't laugh at that time, but after leaving the mountain, he went to the village.

The village is still there, and every household has built a shrine for him, offering incense day and night. I don’t know if it’s an illusion or not.

Boss Hutou always felt that there were more children in that village than in other villages.

……

"Young Master, why don't you kill them?" Xiaocao asked curiously.

"They should have lived a long life. There's no need for me to shorten their lives."

Liu Bai just explained this sentence.

So an hour later, when the morning sun shone into Yunzhou City, Liu Bai and Situ Hong arrived at the door of the matchmaker meeting.

The mountain spirits on the wall are still lush and green, but the matchmakers who guard the gate have been replaced by a pair of twin girls.

They looked almost exactly the same, and standing in front of Liu Bai, he couldn't tell who they were.

Liu Bai and the other person did not delay but went straight to Shen Ruoruo's yard. Since she came back from Xianshan, she had not gone anywhere and had been staying in the main hall of the matchmaking meeting.

But just as the two of them walked near Shen Ruoruo's yard, they heard a quarrel coming from the front.

Liu Bai pricked up his ears and listened for a few words, then he figured out something.

It was like a couple was "educating" their daughter, and that daughter was Shen Ruoruo.

Liu Bai had heard some rumors from Mrs. Tian before, and knew that Shen Ruoruo was not on good terms with her family.

Now it seems that this is indeed the case.

Because this couple was actually urging Shen Ruoruo to get married quickly... Liu Bai and Situ Hong walked around the corner and finally saw their true appearance.

There weren't many people watching, or even just two.

Mrs. Tian and Wu Ji.

They are all matchmakers in this matchmaking association.

After all, this is Shen Ruoruo's gossip, the gossip of the matchmaker, so naturally only the matchmaker would dare to listen to it.

Anyone who dares to listen to the matchmaking that is still going on probably doesn't want to be in this matchmaking society anymore.

Seeing Liu Bai's figure, Mrs. Tian and Wu Ji were obviously a little surprised.

It seemed that he had not expected that Liu Bai had grown up after just a few days of not seeing him. Then after taking a closer look, he could see Liu Bai's strength.

Immediately the smile on his face grew even wider.

Mrs. Tian even walked over and held Liu Bai's hand with a smile.

"It's only been a few days, and you've already become a matchmaker. Don't worry, Xiaobai. I will definitely tell the host to hold a beautiful banquet for your promotion."

"Let's forget about it. We need to keep a low profile."

Liu Bai also smiled, but more of his attention was on the middle-aged couple in front of him.

The middle-aged man in a round-necked purple robe with an embroidered tiger scolded, "Now that you have raised a Yang God, do you think you don't recognize me as your father?"

"You have been disobedient since you were little. Now that this is your life-long event, you must listen to your father!"

Liu Bai looked at Shen Ruoruo who was sitting opposite him.

She was supposed to be wearing a pink dress, but now she was wearing a black dress. Although her expression was cold, there were traces of tears on her face.

Liu Bai bent his index finger of his right hand, which was being held, and hooked it in Mrs. Tian's palm.

"Ok?"

Mrs. Tian looked down at him.

Liu Bai pointed forward with his left hand, indicating what was going on.

Mrs. Tian's expression immediately turned sarcastic when she saw it, and she said directly without trying to hide it:
"When Shen Ruoruo was still young, a knife seller sold a kitchen knife to their family."

"They said that if Shen Ruoruo didn't get married before her nineteenth birthday, the entire Shen family would face a catastrophe."

"Oh? Another knife seller on credit."

Liu Bai became interested.
