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

Chapter 270 The Existence Above the Throne! [Seeking Monthly Tickets]

The laundry bureau of the Chu State is somewhat similar to the River Patrol Office of Jiangzhou. Both are located on the shore and have a small city built on them.

However, compared with the dilapidated River Patrol Office, the Laundry Bureau, as a royal institution close to the capital, is much better.

Of course, Liu Bai felt that it was because this laundry bureau was also responsible for the top-secret mission of "making blood-stained clothes".

Otherwise, this was just a small organization that did laundry for the royal family, so why would it move outside Yuyang City and occupy such a large area?

After Liu Bai and the other person finished watching from high in the sky, they landed on the ground.

Compared to the hilly areas we passed through before, there are few high mountains in the entire Gyeonggi region.

They are all flat and excellent arable land.

From a distance, you can see that many fields have been cultivated, but now they look like they have been abandoned for two or three years.

Weeds are everywhere and wandering spirits are growing.

Just like at this moment, the place where Taoist Wu Xiao led Liu Bai to land was obviously a ridge of a field.

It was already snowing lightly, but the weeds growing nearby were taller than the willows.

"Let's go somewhere else. If someone sees us here, they'll know something's wrong at a glance."

"okay."

Taoist Wu Xiao immediately found a stream nearby, and the two of them pretended to rest there.

Xiaocao takes Xiaogudong out to play whenever she has free time. Just like now, the two little kids are turning over stones by the river, looking for crabs.

As if Xiaocao was deliberately playing a teasing trick, he turned over the rocks to find a crab, and then called Xiaogudong to catch it.

But little Gudong has no hands, how can he catch it?
She was so anxious that she jumped up and down.

Xiaocao didn't think of the handless little Gudong as a disabled person, but she didn't think of herself as a human being either.

Liu Bai looked for a few seconds and then turned back. Taoist Wuxiao had already found the four directions and pasted a talisman on each of them.

By subduing the sound, people won't notice this place.

"According to Liu Ling, this laundry bureau, as a legacy of the imperial court, has now fallen into the hands of the Shangshu Province."

"I just wonder if there will be a shrine guarding this laundry department."

Liu Bai said this while looking towards the east.

The shrines pose no threat to him. Even if there are two or three of them at once, he will not take them seriously. But if there is a throne here... even if there is only one, he will be forced to use all his means.

After so many battles, he could increasingly feel the huge difference between the shrine and the throne.

Even if we ignore the other means of the throne, the throne is much stronger than the shrine in terms of attack and self-defense.

Taoist Wuxiao hesitated for a moment before saying, "I estimate that there is probably no throne."

"Oh?"

"Master, think about where the thrones we have encountered along the way are. Caifeng City is the bridgehead where the Ghost God Cult wants to move from north to south and take over our Chu State, so there should be a throne stationed there."

"The attack on Hei Mu... needless to say."

"And there is the Bai family's throne. No matter where it is, thrones are extremely rare."

"I estimate that the court is divided into five factions: the royal family, the Tiance Palace, and the three ministries of Zhongshu, Menxia, ​​and Shangshu. Therefore, the number of thrones that the Shangshu Ministry can produce must be very limited, and they will definitely not be placed in this small laundry department."

"Besides, this laundry house is so close to Yuyang City, and they are relieved, so it should be the only shrine here."

The bald Taoist priest gave his analysis.

After listening to it, Liu Bai also felt that it made sense.

But precisely because they are so close to Yuyang City, a forced killing is definitely not possible. If one has the strength to kill them all instantly, that would be fine. Otherwise, if one fails, it would definitely attract the attention of the God's Throne in the city.

Even the existence above the throne of God.

Thinking of this, Liu Bai couldn't help but ask curiously: "Master, what is the realm above the throne?"

"This..."

When the bald Taoist priest heard this question, he couldn't help but look up at the sky with a glimmer of hope in his eyes.

"The throne itself is divided into three small realms, the realm just promoted, and the realm of the primordial spirit and the realm of the original body at the back."

Taoist Wuxiao talked freely, "There is a huge gap between these three realms. For example, Bai Yulan is still in the Yuanshen realm, but she has such strength."

"The above is the realm of the master sitting high. It is said that some of the elders of the nine major families are still in the realm of the master sitting high. Even the high officials of the three provinces of the court are in this realm."

"With this realm, even in the Divine Religion, one can be considered a top-notch existence."

Liu Bai listened very carefully.

"As for the existence above the throne, it should be called... the realm of divine manifestation."

"Manifestation of God?"

This was the first time Liu Bai heard this. If Madam Liu hadn't told him anything, he naturally wouldn't have known.

Above the throne is the God of Manifestation... Mother should not be at this level yet, she should be higher.

Liu Bai didn't ask, so Taoist Wuxiao continued, "For example, the patriarchs of the nine great families, or the heads of some small religious sects, are also at this level."

"What about above the manifestation of God?"

Liu Bai asked again.

Taoist Wu Xiao did not mention the ancestors of the nine great families, or the leaders of the big religions, such as the Ghost and God Religion and Taoism. What realm are they in?
"This... I don't know. It's too far away from me."

Taoist Wu Xiao shook his head slowly, his eyes looking at the vast ocean and the endless mountains.

Liu Bai had no choice but to look away and just recalled what Madam Liu had said to him at the beginning... to find his own way and his own path.

The way she mentioned should involve this realm.

For example, at the end of the year, Zhang Cang and the other old immortals are probably at this level.

It’s far, there is still a long way to go.

Liu Bai touched his forehead and felt emotional.

But soon Xiaocao's voice rang in his mind, "Sir, don't think too much, you are still young."

"Don't you see how old you are? How can you compare yourself with those immortals who have lived for thousands of years?"

"Even though the queen doesn't say it, she is actually very satisfied with you now."

Liu Bai looked back and saw Xiaocao was still flipping crabs with Xiaogudong, as if those words just now were not said by it at all.

"Little Gudong, Brother Cao is telling you, you have to look for small crabs in this river. When you find them, ask the bald Taoist priest to help you fry them in oil and sprinkle some spice powder on them. The taste..."

"Gu dong gu dong."

Although Xiaocao didn't look at Liu Bai, she was paying attention to their conversation and her master's mood.

This made Liu Bai feel warm in his heart.

"Then wait a bit. I'll go over there to take a look later in the evening. You should stay away then."

When Taoist Wu Xiao heard this, his heart sank suddenly, and he knew what means his young master was going to use.

He's going to turn into a ghost!

"Yes, son!"

Thinking of this, Taoist Wu Xiao's expression and attitude became much more serious, and he couldn't help but lower his head slightly.

With the remaining time, the two of them moved to a farther location, from the west of Yuyang City to the northwest.

If Liu Bai really succeeded, the two of them would flee directly to the north, cross the Chu River and go to Chaozhou.

It is now approaching the Minor Snow solar term. After the heavy snow, it will be the Winter Solstice.

It is better to go to Chaozhou as soon as possible so as to meet the geniuses of the other eight families first.

By the way, you also need to leave some time to advance to the spiritual realm.

In the evening, Liu Bai, who had been dozing with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes and saw the scene of Xiao Cao feeding Xiao Gudong.

Little Gudong was reluctant to eat the tiny crab in one bite and had to divide it into several bites.

Liu Bai was not in a hurry for the moment and just planned to let Xiao Cao feed Xiao Gudong first.

But Xiaocao knew Liu Bai's plan. In his heart, Empress Liu was number one in the world, and Young Master was number two. Now that Empress Liu was gone, it was natural that Young Master was number one.

It stuffed the small bowl of crabs in its hand into Taoist Wuxiao's hand, and then jumped behind Liu Bai.

Taoist Wu Xiao also stood up quickly.

"I'll leave the little Gudong to you. If the situation is not right, put it in the talisman paper first."

"Okay, sir, don't worry."

Liu Bai said "hmm" and took a step back, having completed the transformation from human to ghost. His scarlet eyes stared at Taoist Wu Xiao, making him unable to help but lower his head again, not daring to raise it at all.

"Little Gudong, let's go!"

The grass also waved.

When Taoist Wu Xiao raised his head again, he found that Liu Bai had disappeared.

After all, he was a shrine, and he was so close to the young master that he didn't even notice when he left... Taoist Wu Xiao immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

At least I don't have to worry too much about the young master's safety.

After half an hour, Liu Bai walked out of the darkness and looked at the yellow-painted wall of the laundry room in front of him. The red door was closed and a few voices could be heard from inside from time to time.

Either far or near.

At the same time, Liu Bai sensed carefully and could indeed smell a faint scent of blood coming from the laundry room.

It's somewhat similar to blood beads.

The blood-stained clothes...are probably really in here.

"Sir, it seems like this is covered by a magic circle." Xiaocao looked up at the outer wall of the laundry department in front of her and said in a low voice.

"Ah."

Liu Bai had seen clearly from a distance that this magic circle was specially used to prevent evil spirits, but it had little effect on ghosts.

I think it’s because the laundry covers too much space, and we have to guard against evil spirits from the land, as well as water monsters in the Yuyang River.

So in order to save trouble, we created this magic circle.

When Liu Bai jumped up, he had turned from a ghost into a human, and the grass behind him quickly crawled into his clothes.

Liu Bai didn't know what means it used.

Just like every time Liu Bai used the wildfire technique, the grass could actually turn into wildfire along with his body.

It's like a part of your body.

The same was true at this moment. When Liu Bai landed on the ground, Xiao Cao had already crawled out again. Not only was there nothing wrong with his body, he also did not disturb the magic circle here.

It’s as if it is not an evil spirit or a ghost.

Liu Bai stopped thinking about the things he couldn't figure out. When he heard footsteps, he had already turned into a demon again and hid in the darkness.

At that moment, several maids came from behind the porch door in front. They were all ordinary people, holding various dishes in their hands. They walked gracefully with lotus steps, and their clothes were eye-catching.

Having traveled around the world for many years, Liu Bai knew that such maids often had to serve as bed warmers.

No matter which mansion it is, the status of such a maid is higher than that of ordinary maids.

It was still an invisible position, which meant that such maids usually worked in the back house, but now they were used to serve dishes...

And the dishes were not ordinary either. What they were holding were dishes made by mountain spirits.

I guess this banquet is also extraordinary.

Liu Bai followed these maids silently, passing through the corridors and alleys, and walked forward.

The corridors on both sides were also covered with yellow powder. Unlike what Liu Bai had seen in other places before, the wall putty was cracked.

The wall plaster in this laundry room is very new. This alone can show that this laundry room has become wealthy.

The place where Liu Bai first came in was almost the southwest corner of the laundry department, but now he followed the group of maids to the southeast corner.

Along the way, they saw several ghost people, both Yin and Yang gods. When the maids saw one, they bowed to him.

They would nod when they saw each other, which showed the difference in the identities of these maids.

At this moment, the maids suddenly turned into a courtyard on the side, and Liu Bai roughly recalled what happened.

This yard should be the yard close to the center of the laundry room.

Liu Bai could feel the presence of many evildoers inside, but none of them were very strong, so he followed in without hesitation.

The candles in the yard were lit as brightly as day, and the sounds of banquets and drinking could be heard one after another.

There were quite a few people, with three large round tables placed here. There were at least 20 to 30 people, and all of them were Yin-nourishing gods with strong abilities.

These people are a powerful force no matter where they are.

Liu Bai had just stood at the door, but he could feel the heat wave coming towards him. They did not light a fire, but as the number of people increased, it naturally had the effect of lighting a fire.

Moreover, these people all carry a murderous aura to a greater or lesser extent.

I guess he has killed a lot of people... None of the people here are the real culprits. Liu Bai noticed that the maids all went to the main hall inside.

Liu Bai looked around and did not disturb others' feast. He just walked over to the wall on the right.

As soon as he reached the door of the main hall, he heard loud laughter coming from inside.

"Master Liu has made a fortune this time. He brought back dozens of good materials. Master Huang's reward is inevitable."

"It's not easy. We were lucky to have an ambush this time. Don't expect to have such good luck next time."

"Let's not talk about the next time. Now that this time is over, we can have some fun next year."

"Yeah, done!"

Liu Bai walked in from outside and saw that there was only one table in the main hall in front of him, with only two people sitting at the table.

Their strength is not weak, they are all cultivating a second life.

They were quite close, but they could not sense Liu Bai's presence, and Liu Bai did not make any sound to disturb their joy.

Instead, he walked to the side and found an empty seat to sit down.

There was even a set of unused bowls and chopsticks in front of him.

This suddenly reminded Liu Bai of a rule he had heard in Huangliang Town, which is that when eating, only set out bowls and chopsticks for the number of people who are eating, no more.

Because you never know what kind of people will be invited by the extra set of dishes and chopsticks.

The situation now was that this empty bowl and chopsticks had invited a... ghost! After the two ghosts who had cultivated their second lives exchanged cups and glasses, one of them closed the door with a wave of his hand.

This made Liu Bai sigh that it was a good thing he arrived early. If he had arrived a step later, it would have been difficult to enter the door.

"I heard that something happened to the gallery ship this year. A lot of the materials could not be recovered. Mr. Liu Ling from the Ministry of Revenue was also lost there."

"It is said that this matter was reported to the Shangshu Lord, but it seems that nothing has been done about it. I don't know who was offended."

Another person took over the conversation and sighed, "It is because of the lack of income from the gallery ship that Mr. Huang is so anxious this time."

"But fortunately, we have Lord Liu. You have finally solved Lord Huang's urgent need this time. His reward is definitely inevitable."

"Where."

The two of them exchanged pleasantries again.

Liu Bai sat here and listened for a while, and finally heard some useful information. The material they were talking about... should be human skin.

Same as those on the gallery ship.

So this blood-stained shirt is actually made of human skin?
As for the two people in front of him, they should be the same as Liu Ling, who specializes in collecting human skins outside. Liu Ling relied on his family background and strength, so he was assigned a good place like the gallery ship. These two ghost walkers who are cultivating a second life have to go out and fight for a few human skins.

I have just come back and have completed this year's targets, so I can take a break next year.

Liu Bai listened for a while, and the two of them talked about all sorts of things. Just as he was thinking of leaving, he heard one of them say:
"By the way, I heard that nine great families came to Yuyang City recently. They seemed to be discussing something with the royal family. Do you know anything?"

The other person put down his wine cup and said, "I heard that they were from the Zhongli family of Wuzhou and the Lei family of Haizhou, but I didn't hear the details."

"Of course I don't know."

"It is said that when the world is in danger, the Nine Great Families will emerge. Now it seems that the Forbidden Eastern Expedition is inevitable."

"..."

Zhongli family, Lei family... Liu Bai muttered in his heart, and walked out from the back of the house. Xiao Cao muttered in Liu Bai's mind:

"Sir, the people of the Zhongli family are quite good, and they had a good relationship with the queen at that time."

"Oh?"

Liu Bai silently took note of this.

After coming out of the room, he had no destination in mind and just wandered around the laundry room aimlessly.

But he hadn't walked far when he felt a strong sense of resentment in the vicinity.

The base of the wall nearby was charred black by smoke, and it was obvious that paper money was often burned there. He squatted down to take a look and found that some of the unburned paper money still had blood on it.

Blood paper money.

This thing is not often used. Even in ordinary people's homes, it is only used during festivals or when livestock are slaughtered.

"Sir, there is a lot of yin energy here!"

"You'll find out once you go in and take a look."

Liu Bai's figure floated up and he climbed over the wall silently. At the moment he floated up, he could already see the Yuyang River outside.

This is the southernmost part of the laundry department.

The yard was not big, but it was filled with a strong gloomy aura. When Liu Bai landed, he even saw several ghost lights in the corners of the wall.

In addition, even the candles lit in the room were swaying without wind.

Liu Bai could hear voices coming from the room, but he didn't see any human figures, and of course no ghosts either. There were so many ghost walkers here, and if there was any evil spirit born here, it would just be a free Yin Pearl.

If that’s the case… then what about people?
The door was open and Liu Bai walked in without hesitation. There were candlesticks in the four corners of the room, and the burning candles emitted a unique fragrance.

"Sir, this is a mermaid candle!"

"This candle contains mermaid fat, which can be used to suppress the birth of evil spirits."

The knowledgeable Xiaocao explained in a muttered voice.

Liu Bai didn't know that this was the Mermaid Candle, but he knew that if there wasn't some trick involved, the evil spirits would have spread everywhere long ago.

There is too much resentment and negative energy, it is simply a natural breeding ground for evil.

After entering the house, Liu Bai saw a downward passage on the right. It was dark, and the negative energy inside had gathered into wind, blowing out from it in gusts.

If an ordinary person were here, it wouldn't take much for him to be seriously ill after just a gust of this wind.

But Liu Bai felt extremely comfortable staying here, especially at the entrance of the passage, where there was a cool breeze.

The voice of talking...also came from down there.

There were still many water stains on the ground.

Liu Bai's figure floated down from here, and soon landed on the ground. At a glance, he finally understood where this evil energy came from.

I saw that there were four water troughs underground that were led from the Yuyang River, and each of the troughs was filled with many Yin objects.

And by the water tank, about every three or four meters there stood a person who had gathered the five energies and was walking in the underworld.

They are all here... washing their skins.

What is being washed is...human skin.

Oh no, in this laundry department, it should be called laundry.

The faces of these laundrymen were pale, their sunken eye sockets were iron blue, and their bodies were hunched over, as if they couldn't stand up straight.

But in Liu Bai's eyes, they all seemed to be burdened with sin.

They dipped pieces of human skin into the sink in their hands, and as soon as they were put in, a pool of blood spread on the water surface.

At the same time, hanging on the walls of the underground were washed human skins, some intact, some damaged, and each one still dripping with water stains. The stench of decay filled the air.

This place is like the legendary skinning hell.

Even Liu Bai, who is a well-informed man, couldn't help but feel scared when he saw such a scene.

It's so creepy and terrifying.

In addition to the laundryman who was washing human skins by the sink, there were others who were clamping the dried human skins between a few straw mats and placing them on a shoulder pole nearby. I guess they were going to carry them to other places.

That is Liu Bai’s destination.

After finding the place, he stopped wandering around. If he wandered around, he might not find it. It was best to have someone lead the way.

He sat at the entrance of the passage, with the cold wind washing his face. It seemed as if he could hear the wails and roars of people passing by in the wind.

Those who hear it feel chilled.

After waiting for about an hour, two of the loads were finally filled with human skins, and someone nearby rang a gong.

Liu Bai was awakened and looked up, only to see two hunchbacked laundrymen picking up the load of human skins and walking towards the other end.

"Young Master, hurry up and follow me!"

When Xiaocao's voice sounded in his mind, Liu Bai had already followed it.

The washerman did not carry the load casually. There was a guiding lamp hanging in front of the load and he held a clapper in his other hand.

A gong must be struck every three steps.

He was mumbling something, but it was not clear. Liu Bai had to listen for a long time before he could hear it clearly.

"Come, come, do not hesitate, the road of life and death has been laid out. The prosperity of the world is all false, and follow me back to the land of rebirth..."

But after coming out of another passage, Liu Bai didn't know if it was a psychological effect, but he always felt that many people followed him out from underground.

But I can't see it.

Walking north along the alley, Liu Bai saw many figures of ghost walkers along the way. They just heard the sound of the clappers from afar and avoided it.

Everyone who has done something wrong is afraid of ghosts knocking on the door.

Nothing else happened along the way, and finally he arrived at the northeast corner of the laundry bureau. When he got near this place, Liu Bai felt a heat wave coming towards him, but it was not the kind of heat wave that was set on fire by a sinister person.

Instead, they simply made a fire and came here... probably to dry these human skins.

Liu Bai followed the two laundrymen into the room. As soon as he entered, he saw the scene he had imagined. There were also many human skins hanging in the room, but the ones here had been dried by the wind and shrunk into small pieces. These human skins were also stretched out using something like a clothes hanger.

The backyard was even hotter, and the drying area was probably behind it.

The two laundrymen carrying loads walked in. Just when Liu Bai wanted to follow them in, two other laundrymen came out from the side hall. They were also carrying loads.

The only difference is that what they carried in their burdens were dried human skins.

It was obvious that these human skins were going to be sent to the next location for the next step of making blood-stained clothes.

But when Liu Bai was about to follow and leave, he suddenly felt the breath of a ghost coming from outside the door behind him, and the furnace on his body was burning very fiercely.

It’s not about cultivating a second life, but… a shrine!
Liu Bai, who was originally in the moonlight, took one step and went behind the pillar. He could hide his body better in the darkness.

"Greetings, Master Ge!"

The laundrymen in the yard all knelt down and kowtowed, except for the two men carrying loads who just lowered their heads slightly.

The human skin is on the shoulders but not on the ground.

The person who came was a middle-aged man. He said "hmm" in a deep voice, and another wealthy man immediately ran out of the house.

Lord Ge said in a deep voice: "Open the warehouse. The Imperial City needs to transfer thirty blood-stained clothes over there."

"This is a transfer order!"

As he spoke, he raised his hand and handed over a bronze token. The latter took a look and nodded in agreement.

The warehouse turned out to be here. What a coincidence! It was found without any effort. Otherwise, I would have to wander around here for several days... Liu Bai couldn't help but feel happy.

The grass hummed in his mind:
“Hehe, sir, do you think you killed those two monsters in vain? Luck is no joke.”

Liu Bai naturally knew this. The illusory luck always attracts people.

This Lord Ge was the secret agent who came to cast the shrine. Liu Bai couldn't follow him too closely, so he had to wait until both of them entered the house before he followed them.

Before entering the backyard, a secret underground door opened in the main hall.

Perhaps it was because this was an important place. After Liu Bai came underground, he found that there were no extra guards here.

There is a secret passage leading to the underground, and there is a stone door underground.

"Sir, this laundry department should have two warehouses. One is open to the public with a shrine guarding it, but there is nothing inside."

"Guess so."

Liu Bai felt that the warehouse in plain sight should be right in the middle of the laundry department, near the residence of Mr. Huang in the laundry department.

This underground stone door also has some arrangements. Liu Bai saw from afar that it should be used to prevent the blood from spreading.

Otherwise, with these blood-stained clothes piled here for many years, some of the blood would seep out.

Lord Ge placed the transfer order on the stone gate, and it was as if something was sucked in, and then he pushed the stone gate open.

Liu Bai, even though he was quite far away, could still feel the blood energy rushing towards him.

The two people in front had gone in, and the stone door was about to close by itself. Xiaocao hurriedly poked Liu Bai on the back.

But before it could take its fingers away, Liu Bai had already quietly followed it into the dark room in front.

He just came in and hadn't even landed yet.

Lord Ge, who was leading the group, said “Hmm?”

"what happened?"

"Did you feel something coming in?"

"No...no."

Liu Bai didn't even move at this moment, just floating in the air, trying his best to restrain his breath.

Lord Ge waited for a moment, and when he didn't sense any other aura, he turned around.

"Maybe I feel wrong."

Liu Bai still didn't move, just watching the blood-stained human skin clothes hanging in the dark room being taken down one by one by Lord Ge.

These blood-stained clothes were as thin as cicada wings, but the size was no different from that of a human, and they exuded a faint blood color all over.

Liu Bai took a quick look and saw that there were probably about fifty or sixty blood-stained clothes here.

After Lord Ge took down twenty of the items, he turned around and left, but he looked back before leaving.

Liu Bai didn't move and just watched them close the stone door.

He still didn't move. About three breaths passed, and then the stone door suddenly opened again. Lord Ge looked inside with a vigilant expression.

Only after seeing that everything remained the same did he close the stone door.

Another half incense stick of time passed before Liu Bai put all the blood-stained clothes into Xumi without saying a word.

Looking at the empty stone chamber, Liu Bai took a deep breath. After wandering around for so long, he finally succeeded.

"Sir, this stone chamber is sealed, how are you going to get out?"

"Not urgent."

This was of course not a problem for Liu Bai. He first arrived at the door, and then took out some grave soil from Sumeru and sprinkled it on his body.

When I was in Jiangzhou before, I got the grave soil from the disciple of that demon.

【污】 has a real name.

Liu Bai’s real name is Gui, and his real name can be changed through other media, thereby obtaining some of the other party’s means.

Just like now, when he sprinkled the grave soil on his body, the real name on the panel also changed.

He blew gently, and some dust seeped out from the crack in the door.

After a while, he came out of the dark room easily without any hindrance. He came out of the laundry room without being exposed at all.

He looked at the bright moon still hanging in the night sky and was in a good mood.

In this way, we can finally head north to Chaozhou.

By that time, the sky will be clear and the earth will be pure, and my strength will be able to completely reach the level of the primordial spirit.

Then let the geniuses from the nine great families in the world see what...a genius is!
"Xiao Cao, let's... go north!"

Liu Bai's figure remained hidden, heading north in the night. Halfway through the journey, he was accompanied by Taoist Wuxiao and Xiao Gudong.

One man and three ghosts went straight to the bank of the Chu River.

(The early stage is over. Tomorrow I will let you meet the geniuses of the nine families. Please vote for me!!)
