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

Chapter 195: Casting the Shrine and Placing the Seat [Seeking a Monthly Ticket]

Fan Yuanyi seemed like a man who had accomplished great things. After being slapped in the face by Liu Bai, he just took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart.

There is a sense of swallowing one's own anger in it.

"You can leave the person to Mr. Liu to deal with, or even ask me for help. But before you do anything, can I ask you a few questions?"

Previously, Fan Yuanyi claimed to be the governor of the state in front of Liu Bai, but now he has the Taoist priest Da Suan here.

The first thing he said was "I".

He holds his position very high, or rather... has a flexible "self-proclaimed" position.

He had indeed been planning to let Zhou Bala lure the people out, and then wipe out the Ghost and God Cult's influence in Yunzhou.

But now, with Liu Bai as a variable in his plan, there is nothing he can do.

All he could do was wait and see if he could get some information out of Zhou Bala, and then take the initiative.

Kill as many as you can.

Liu Bai could also guess what Fan Yuanyi wanted to ask, and he happened to need this information.

After all, Zhou Bala was just a small leader, and the ones who really attacked him were the people behind him.

Liu Bai clearly remembered that the yellow-robed temple priest he killed was no longer in Yunzhou.

But it is in Jiangzhou, north of Shenlongze.

"Master Fan, please do as you please."

Liu Bai raised his hand and took a step back to give face to Fan Yuanyi.

But soon, this Taoist priest seemed to know something.

With his hands on the shoulders of Liu Bai and Taoist Xiao Suan, the three of them retreated nearly a hundred meters.

When the matchmaker saw this, she knew something was wrong and quickly stepped back.

Seeing this, Fan Yuanyi nodded slightly to Liu Bai who had already left Xu Yuan, and then turned around without waiting for him to speak.

Zhou Bala had already said, "If I say it, I'll die. If I don't say it, I'll die too. Why should I say it?"

"Don't worry, you don't have to tell me. And even if you tell me, the governor won't believe it."

Fan Yuanyi smiled, and his expression was very sincere.

Zhou Bala seemed to have thought of something, panicked, and subconsciously took a step back, "Say... I'll say..."

"late."

Fan Yuanyi raised his right hand and snapped his fingers in a very domineering manner. In an instant, a tall shrine suddenly rose from the ground where he was standing!

It looks like an ancient tree from a sacred mountain, with a hint of dim golden light mixed in with the deep green color.

The base looks like a square table with its legs raised, and on top is the real shrine, with vertical beams on the left and right, with coiled dragons, a roof with phoenixes spreading their wings, and flying eaves on the four corners.

There is a pure black wooden board above the two vertical beams, on which large gold-plated characters appear, which is a couplet.

First couplet: The smoke of incense spreads through the heaven and earth

Second line: The palace is filled with auspicious air
Horizontal banner: Auspicious light shines everywhere

At this moment, in the darkness, the couplet on the shrine is emitting golden light, shining brightly.

It was also the first time that Liu Bai saw the ghost who cast the shrine release his own shrine. He couldn't help but be curious. He stared with wide eyes and looked at it carefully.

"Sir, this is just the casting of the shrine."

"Going up is the throne of the gods. The throne is divided into two parts. First, the primordial spirit sits high, and then the main body sits high."

"When these two are enshrined in the altar, we will be considered quite powerful."

"But sir, you haven't even seen the shadow of Yang Shen yet, it's still a long way off."

Xiaocao muttered something in Liu Bai's mind, and then reached out and patted Liu Bai's shoulder.

Like a little adult.

"You still need to work hard, young master."

"Is the Anshen Seat the same as the throne in the evil spirit?" Liu Bai asked speculatively.

"That's not true. The throne is just an empty position created by the old temple keeper. It is different from the ghost. Moreover, the evil spirit on the throne is more powerful than the ghost on the throne."

Xiaocao explained to Liu Bai considerately.

After Fan Yuanyi released the shrine, a faint smell of incense smoke floated out from it, then fell down until it was inhaled into Zhou Bala's body.

Then, Zhou Bala, who had just been full of energy, trembled immediately.

The ghost who was trying to restore his second life was like a drunkard. He rolled his eyes and became motionless.

Before Fan Yuanyi could speak, the Taoist priest Da Suan beside Liu Bai reminded him in a friendly voice:
"Don't forget, Zhou Bala has officially joined the Divine Religion. If you dare to ask this question... you may have underestimated the Divine Religion's ability."

When Fan Yuanyi heard what Taoist Dasuan said, he was suddenly startled.

Indeed, he was planning to ask directly, but now... He bent down and lowered his head, "Please give me some advice, Taoist Da Suan."

"It's not so much about giving advice. If I say too much, I will be involved in the cause and effect." Taoist Dasuan shook his head.

Fan Yuanyi pondered for a moment, and then said: "If I ask directly..."

Before he could finish, Taoist Da Suan interrupted:
"He will die, and then you will be haunted by the sins of the Ghost Cult. Well, to be conservative, your life of walking the underworld will be over."

Fan Yuanyi also fell silent. This matter... was indeed more difficult than he had imagined.

Damn ghost cult!

He lowered his eyes and glanced at Liu Bai, the meaning was self-evident.

But Liu Bai ignored him. This was something Fan Yuanyi wanted to do, so naturally he had to do it. Liu Bai didn't want to be a pawn.

"hehe."

Taoist Da Suan smiled and said nothing. He naturally knew all this, but he didn't say it.

This look also made Fan Yuanyi furious, but he was only angry in his heart and even had to smile on the surface.

"In fact, there are ways... Even the cycle of life and death and the two yin and yang and eight trigrams have a way out, not to mention this divine sect."

Taoist Dasuan stroked his beard and smiled.

Fan Yuanyi became more respectful in his performance of rituals.

"You ask him about his death, you ask him about his disaster, but you don't ask, just let him tell you on his own initiative, isn't that enough? The mountain spirit fox tribe is the best at this."

After Taoist Dasuan finished speaking, Fan Yuanyi's eyes lit up.

Liu Bai could hear Xiao Cao muttering in his ears, "You can break a method by just saying 'illusion', but you have to say so much before you can give the answer."

"You are indeed a master of the art."

Taoist Da Suan was right beside him, so he naturally heard it all clearly. With his mouth twitching, he glanced at Xiao Cao.

Xiao Cao was not afraid, and even raised his head and said:
"What are you looking at? If you keep looking, I will report you to the Queen, saying that you are bullying my son!"

When facing someone who doesn't know Madam Liu's identity, Xiaocao might be a little timid.

But facing the person who knew Madam Liu's identity, Xiaocao acted like he was the best in the world.

Fear no one.

Just like now, even if it was the Taoist priest Da Suan who heard this, he had to admit his mistake and beg for mercy, "I am sorry for talking too much, please forgive me, Master Xiaogui."

"Why are you calling me little ghost? Call me big ghost!"

Xiaocao waved his hand.

The Taoist priest Da Suan stood up and patted the Taoist priest Xiao Suan on the back of his head.

Taoist Xiao Suan stumbled in front of Xiao Cao and bowed tactfully, "Greetings, Master Ghost."

On the other side, Fan Yuanyi, who had obtained the true method, also took action.

There was a square table under the shrine behind him, and the door of the cupboard was open. Countless white mists emanated from it, covering the surroundings and also obscuring him and Zhou Bala in front of him.

"Sir, Fan Yuanyi is hiding you. He doesn't want you to know."

Seeing this, Xiaocao started to apply eye drops again.

Liu Bai glanced at the Taoist priest Da Suan beside him. The latter stroked his beard and smiled, looking like he had everything under control.

Liu Bai was no longer worried.

There was thick fog ahead. Fan Yuanyi, who cast the shrine, used magic to make Zhou Bala lost, so naturally there were no other major visions.

Liu Bai and his companions waited like this for about an incense stick of time.

The huge shrine in front turned into smoke and disappeared, and the fog gradually dissipated.

Fan Yuanyi walked out from it with a rather ugly look on his face.

As he got closer, the fog behind him completely disappeared. Zhou Bala was still standing there intact, in a daze.

Like a zombie.

When he came closer, he didn't need Liu Bai to ask, and said directly: "This Zhou Bala has indeed joined the Ghost God Cult, but he is only a messenger of God. His superior is a walking man wearing a black robe, hiding in a cave in the middle section of Wuyun Mountain in the north."

"The communication is done by a crow."

After saying that, he lowered his head and looked at Liu Bai again.

"The killing of Young Master Liu was arranged by this black-robed walker. Zhou Bala informed him that you are a follower of the Wushen Cult and the descendant of a high-ranking official. So this black-robed walker cast a divine spell."

Liu Bai nodded. He knew even more that the one who chanted the incantation was not the one walking in black robe, but another temple priest in yellow robe.

Moreover, the yellow-robed temple priest who took action was burned to death by himself.

If that’s the case, then the person behind the attack is only the man walking in black robe?

"I wonder if I still need to take action this week?" Fan Yuanyi asked Liu Bai.

"I will do it myself."

Liu Bai refused.

"Well, let's not delay any further. I will go to the Wuyun Mountain first."

Fan Yuanyi looked towards the north, ready to attack directly and capture the walking leader of the cult first.

Liu Bai was thinking in his mind... This messenger of God has already cultivated his second life, and if he goes up further, he will probably build a shrine.

If I go over there, even if I transform into a ghost, I may not be able to defeat him... If I fail, I will have to cry for help.

It would be better to let Fan Yuanyi go first.

"Ah."

Liu Bai nodded, and Fan Yuanyi bowed to the Taoist priest Da Suan, "In that case, I will leave first."

"Go."

Taoist Dasuan waved his hand, signaling him to walk faster.

Fan Yuanyi turned to the north and disappeared after taking two steps. His speed was extremely fast and his skills were extremely sophisticated.

Liu Bai also looked up at Zhou Bala opposite him.

According to his original idea, the matchmaker would hold Zhou Bala back, then transform herself into a ghost and take Zhou Bala away.

The Yin Lei is cut off for a while, and then it is "offered" to the Yin God for enjoyment.

But who would have thought that so many things would happen.

Now that this Taoist priest Da Suan is here, it would be impolite to transform into a ghost, so...

Liu Bai thought for a moment and said, "Master Da Suan, help me restrain him and don't let him resist."

"Don't worry, Mr. Liu."

Taoist Dasuan stroked his beard and said with a smile.

Liu Bai hummed, and his body instantly turned into a ball of wildfire and floated away.

Seeing this, Taoist Da Suan, who had just been smiling, suddenly froze on his face.

'This... he can actually learn this thing?'

Taoist Dasuan doesn't know much, but he knows a little bit.

For example, Liu Bai came to ask last time.

As for the magic that Liu Bai was using now, he had also seen someone else use it, and that person was the creator of this magic.

Taoist Da Suan recalled...wherever the black wood passed, there was black fire that covered the sky and the sun.

Black wood, black wood, wherever the black fire passes, it can turn everyone into... a black tomb!
Since then, no one has ever learned it, not even his disciples.

But now, Taoist Da Suan actually saw this technique again in a younger generation hundreds of years later.

He was surprised at first, but after thinking about it, he felt it was normal.

After all, Hei Mu is not a simple person, but can the person in front of him be treated simply?

Even more complicated. In today's world, Taoist Da Suan couldn't even think of anyone with a more noble status than Liu Bai.

Even the crown prince of Qin is probably not as good as him.

After all, the prince can be replaced if he dies, but the person in front of me... I'm afraid he can't die even if he wants to!

While Taoist Da Suan was thinking, he saw Zhou Bala being awakened by the wildfire, but when he stretched out his hand and pressed him, Zhou Bala fell asleep again.

Fall down and go to sleep.

Liu Bai's black fire continued to burn, and he could feel it clearly.

The strength of this Yin-walking person who cultivates a second life is indeed much stronger than that of this Yang-nourishing God.

Well...wildfire burning the Yang God is just like burning cotton wool. It will catch fire at any time and die as soon as it encounters fire.

But if a wildfire kills a second person, it's just like burning pine wood. Although it can be ignited at once, it will take a very long time to burn.

Moreover, Liu Bai could still feel that he was only burning his flesh, but the soul in his body was still intact.

If this goes on, will all the energy and blood in his body be burned out, leaving only his spirituality?
The qi and blood are all gone, what can my yin spirit eat!
Thinking of this, Liu Bai stopped trying. The wildfire broke away and turned back into human form. "Master, please lend a hand. Just kill him directly."

"Hmm? Master Liu, don't you want to try? If you use this technique for another half a cup of tea, you will burn me to death."

"No."

Seeing Liu Bai refuse again, Taoist Dasuan raised his left hand and calculated a few times.

Zhou Bala, who was lying on the ground, groaned and then there was no movement.

"All right."

Seeing a ghost who had restored a second life being killed by the Taoist master, Liu Bai was not surprised.

Immediately... in front of these people, he released his Yin Spirit.

In an instant, the evil spirit wearing a bronze mask stood up from the darkness, and his black robe fluttered in the evening breeze.

Liu Baiyinshen just looked at the Taoist priest Dasuan opposite him.

The Yin God is ten feet tall. No matter how tall the Taoist priest is, he can only reach the chest of the Yin God, so at this moment he inevitably needs to look up.

But as soon as he raised his head, he was so scared that he took a step back, his face full of horror.

"Really... is it really the Yin God?"

He murmured subconsciously and almost spoke out of turn.

Liu Bai did this on purpose, just to see how this Taoist priest Da Suan would perform.

After all, my mother didn't tell me, but I still want to know, so I can only use my own method.

But now it seems... what the Taoist priest Da Suan subconsciously wanted to say was probably not the "real Yin God".

What I want to say is probably... the true God!
So, am I, the Yin Spirit, really a God?

But why was I able to give birth to a true god? Could it be because my mother became a god?

Liu Bai couldn't figure it out, but after a brief surprise, Taoist Dasuan...

When he looked at Liu Bai again, his eyes had become... fiery.

It was even extremely hot, a feeling that he wanted to swallow Liu Bai, "Liu... Young Master Liu."

Liu Bai said "hmm" faintly, and then turned around.

On the ground, streams of blood and energy flew out from Zhou Bala's body and merged into Liu Bai's Yin Shen body.

Seeing this scene, Taoist Dasuan was so shocked that he opened his mouth wide.

Although it wasn't to the point of gasping for breath or anything like that, his degree of shock was extremely obvious.

So much so that Taoist Xiao Suan noticed that something was wrong with his master.

Liu Bai seemed to be unaware of anything and just watched Zhou Bala's body being "devoured" by his own Yin Spirit until there was no trace of blood left.

Looking at the Yin God's body which seemed to have become more solid, Liu Bai also estimated it.

One Zhou Bala is roughly equivalent to five Qingshan garden owners.

Well... the owner of the Green Shirt Garden is the Laba Sect's Yang God who was killed by Liu Bai at the beginning. So it seems that the blood energy of this Yang God who has cultivated a second life is indeed much higher.

While thinking, Liu Bai came to Zhou Bala's body and easily took out a small jade pendant carved with a tiger from his sleeve.

As the life fire burned, Liu Bai saw clearly.

There were boxes of Yin beads inside, and even Zhou Bala's rare Laba bowl was placed inside.

This is Zhou Bala’s real Sumeru. Last time, also near Huizhen Mountain, Liu Bai was tricked by his fake Sumeru.

But this time, it was still the same place, and he couldn't move it even if he wanted to.

The revenge has been taken and all the good things that should be taken have been taken.

And strictly speaking, this is the first rare treasure that Liu Bai has obtained, and it is intact and can be used at will.

Unlike the Fire Spirit Banner and the Small Mountain Cone, both of them are bad and their origins are not legitimate.

This Laba bowl... If anyone dares to question it, Liu Bai can just say, "This was given to me by Zhou Bala. Don't believe it? Then go ask him."

Then a wisp of wildfire fell and ignited the remaining body of Zhou Bala.

Without blood, all the corpses seemed to be the same, even Zhou Bala, who was cultivating a second life, was no exception.

"What is Mr. Liu thinking about?"

Taoist Da Suan came over and saw Liu Bai in a daze, so he asked.

"Nothing... I just feel that no matter how glorious this person was during his lifetime, he will be the same after his death. A clean fire, no difference."

"By the way, Taoist Dasuan, do you think reincarnation really exists in this world?"

Liu Bai has read many historical books and some of them mentioned the word reincarnation, but there is no specific statement about reincarnation.

"Reincarnation?"

Taoist Dasuan listened to this and pursed his lips.

"This is just some people's mumbling when they are bored, saying where this person went after death, whether the living are the reincarnation of the dead... storytellers tend to make up a lot of things."

Liu Bai also understood after listening.

There is no underworld in this world!

There are only the gods sitting high in the sky.

Zhou Bala's body was turned into a filthy pile by the wildfire and finally returned to the earth.

The matchmaker also nodded to Liu Bai from a distance, turned around and left without disturbing the audience.

At this point, there were only two Taoist priests left, Liu Bai and Dasuan and Xiaosuan.

Liu Bai was just thinking about it, when he suddenly saw that the young Taoist priest was held down on the head by the big Taoist priest, and then pushed over.

"Ok?"

Liu Bai looked at him in surprise.

Not only Liu Bai, Taoist Xiao Suan also rubbed the back of his head, "Master, why are you pushing me?"

"Haha, Mr. Liu, I see that you seem to be in need of a helper to lead the horse and carry the stool. Can you please take a look at my disciple?"

After saying this, he rubbed Taoist Xiao Suan's head again and said with a smile:
"Don't underestimate Xiao Suan because he looks like a loser. He actually knows a lot."

"In addition to these, he can also help Master Liu to check the almanac and other things every day. If that doesn't work, Master Liu can just treat him as a servant."

"No, Master, I..."

Without waiting for Taoist Xiaosuan to speak, Taoist Dasuan made a hand gesture to help him shut up.

The grass felt the touch and covered its mouth reflexively.

It is all too familiar with this feeling.

After all, when it was with Madam Liu, it had to shut up from time to time.

But fortunately, the one that was shut up this time was not it, not the little grass, but the Taoist priest Xiao Suan.

For this reason, Xiaocao even got down from behind Liu Bai and ran to the front of the Taoist priest Xiaosuan. However, she was still a little sad when she saw that his mouth was not sewn shut.

Liu Bai looked at Dasuan, then at Xiaosuan and blinked. Seeing this reaction, he could guess something.

It should be that Dasuan saw something of his Yin Shen's intention.

So he wanted to bring Xiaosuan to his side.

"But Taoist Xiao Suan doesn't seem to be very willing...right?"

Hearing Liu Bai's words, Taoist Xiao Suan was already blinking frantically. This was definitely something he was unwilling to do.

It’s so cool to be a little Taoist priest in Tianji Temple. I can order some sizzling chicken and phoenix tails whenever I want.

Although he is a ghost walker, he can disguise himself as an ordinary person and does not need to take risks outside the city.

This kind of life... and then having to serve tea and lead horses for others, who would be willing to do that?
Anyone with a normal mind would not want to do that.

"It's okay. I'll go talk to him and he'll agree."

As Taoist Da Suan said this, he reached out and pulled his disciple over, then held him under his armpit.

The Taoist priest Da Suan was already very tall, and at the moment he was holding the Taoist priest Xiao Suan... it was like he was carrying a wooden barrel.

Liu Bai stood there, folded his hands into his sleeves, and watched silently.

The master and the disciple walked a short distance before stopping. I could see them having an intense conversation.

But Liu Bai could not hear any sound.

Moreover, from time to time, he could see Taoist Xiao Suan turning around to look at him. His eyes were naturally full of resentment and unwillingness at first.

Then, Taoist Dasuan said a few words to him.

When he turned his head to look at Liu Bai again, his eyes were filled with shock, astonishment, and disbelief, with his mouth wide open.

The word "surprise" was written all over his face.

After chatting for a while, when Taoist Xiao Suan looked back again, his eyes had become fiery.

Even more popular than the previous Taoist priest Da Suan.

"Young Master, why do I feel like this Taoist priest Xiao Suan wants to eat you?" Xiao Cao returned behind Liu Bai, muttering to himself.

The conversation between the master and the disciple did not last long. In just a few moments, they finished their conversation.

Taoist Xiao Suan, who originally had an exaggerated look on his face, also straightened his Taoist robe.

He returned to his seemingly serious appearance.

Under Liu Bai's gaze, the two of them walked back, with Taoist Da Suan leading the way and Taoist Xiao Suan walking in front. When he came in front of Liu Bai, his hands shook.

"I am willing to serve you like a dog or a horse, and I hope you will fulfill my wish."

Looking at the Taoist Master Xiaosuan who was arrogant at first but respectful later, Liu Bai raised his eyelids and looked at the Taoist Master Dasuan.

The latter rubbed his hands and said, "Hey, this kid asked for it on his own initiative. I couldn't stop him, so I had to follow his lead."

"This kid... Sir, don't look at him like this, but he has actually cultivated his Yang Spirit, and I have basically learned all of this method of calculation, but I am still a little short of this ability. But if I practice more over time, I can achieve great success."

The Great Calculation Taoist Priest seemed to really want to push the Small Calculation Taoist Priest over, and this Small Calculation Taoist Priest...

After the advice of Taoist Dasuan, I seem to miss it now.

As for Liu Bai, everything else was fine. He was mainly thinking that it would be better if he had someone who could calculate by his side.

In many situations, I can know some information in advance, which can be regarded as foresight.

I just don't know if this Taoist priest Xiao Suan has a strong enough life?

But don't let your calculations turn you into the same person as the messenger, or you'll be doomed.

"Son."

Taoist Xiao Suan shouted again softly. Although his eyes were excited, he remained calm on the surface, as if he was trying his best to maintain his...composure.

"That's fine. I may have to trouble Taoist Xiao Suan more in the future."

Liu Bai relaxed.

"No trouble, no trouble, not at all. Master Liu, when will you let me become a god... ahem, a charlatan."

Taoist Master Xiaosuan scratched his head, and Taoist Master Dasuan came over and patted him on the back of the head again.

It was not a big deal, but it woke him up.

Taoist Xiao Suan quickly put away his humble appearance, stood up straight, and walked behind Liu Bai very naturally.

He looked like a follower.

But at this moment, a green light suddenly broke through the night sky from the north, went all the way south, and finally landed in front of the three people.

Fan Yuanyi, you're back so soon!
