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

Chapter 288: Liu Wudi's former disciple [asking for monthly votes]

It was the first time that Liu Bai saw Xiaocao being so respectful. Before, no matter who he met, Xiaocao always looked extremely arrogant.

As long as Madam Liu is around, it would dare to jump on the heads of even the ancestors of the nine major families and pee and poop on them.

But now it's different.

Liu Bai could feel that Xiaocao's words were sincere and there was no falsehood at all.

So Liu Bai followed suit and bowed, "Liu Bai greets the old marshal."

By the way, he also saw clearly what the old marshal looked like. He didn't have much gray hair, which was tied on top of his head. His old face was covered with age spots. He was wearing armor, but many of the golden armor plates had fallen off, and the remaining ones were hanging on his body, swaying in the wind as if they would fall off at any time.

Adao, who was standing by, lost his playful smile and instead bowed seriously following Hei Mu.

Marshal Zou Yin, who seemed to be dozing off, finally opened his eyes, and his cloudy eyes first fell on Xiao Cao.

At this moment, the usually taciturn old marshal actually smiled.

"Oh, it's you. Is this body I found for you useful?" The old marshal's smiling words surprised Liu Bai.

What does this mean...the body of the grass does not belong to the grass?
The old marshal found it for it.

Is it the cuckoo occupying the magpie's nest, or is it taking over the house?
"It's very useful, thank you, old marshal." Xiaocao bowed again.

The old marshal nodded slightly, without looking at Adao and Hei Mu, but instead set his gaze on Liu Bai.

At this moment, Liu Bai suddenly felt that he was very far away from the old marshal, but the next moment he found that he was actually in front of the old marshal.

You could even see clearly how deep the wrinkles on his face were.

There was no smile on the old marshal's face, instead he looked a little surprised.

"Yes, it really is."

The old marshal murmured, "How did your mother give birth to you?"

Liu Bai was silent for a long time after hearing this question that was enough to choke a person. Then he said, "The old marshal will have to ask my mother."

"Hahaha."

The old marshal seemed to have just reacted. He threw his head back and laughed, and his laughter spread throughout the entire Zouyin City.

At this moment, countless people in the city raised their heads and looked towards the top of the city wall, wondering who could make the old marshal, who seldom spoke, laugh so happily.

The existence of some old antiques in this city is a bit vague.

They were wondering how many years ago it was that the old marshal last laughed like this.

Liu Bai just stood in front of the old marshal, and then watched him stand up. Then... Liu Bai found that the scene he was in had changed.

It was no longer the top of the Great Wall in the West, but instead it was halfway up a mountain. There was an open space in the mountains, a tiled house behind it, and a huge protruding rock in front of it.

It was near evening, and the setting sun shone through the mountaintops, casting Liu Bai's shadow very long.

The old marshal was sitting on the huge protruding rock in front, holding a fishing rod and seemed to be fishing.

But what can you fish on this mountain?
Liu Bai hurried forward and saw a sea of ​​clouds in front of him. The old marshal's fishing hook had fallen into the sea of ​​clouds.

He couldn't help but ask, "Old Marshal, what are you fishing for?"

After asking this question, Liu Bai noticed that Xiaocao was not by his side. Otherwise, it would have asked such questions.

Now it's my turn to ask.

The old marshal said with a smile: "The fishing rod is for fishing."

"But are there fish in this sea of ​​clouds?" Liu Bai asked.

The old marshal replied: "As long as you want to fish, there are fish everywhere."

After saying this, he looked up at the sky again, "You said there were fish in this world? But they are all fishing."

"Forget it. You won't understand even if I tell you this." The old marshal shook his head again.

"I know. My mother took me to meet them, but I don't know which one she met." Liu Bai seemed to reveal something "inadvertently".

"have you seen?"

This time it was the old marshal who was a little surprised.

"Ah."

Liu Bai nodded and said nothing more.

Seeing this, the old marshal withdrew his gaze and continued fishing peacefully. "Now everyone in the world is worried about taboos, but few people know that the real threat does not come from the west."

"But from heaven?"

Liu Bai said that he also wanted to sit down on this stone.

But as soon as he stepped on the stone, he felt his feet were empty and his body fell straight down. He subconsciously wanted to fly.

But he found that no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't fly.

So he fell into this... sea of ​​clouds.

His body seemed to be held up by the sea of ​​clouds, giving him a feeling as if he was falling into the water. His body gradually slowed down, and he saw the situation in the sea of ​​clouds.

He saw that the sea of ​​clouds was full of floating corpses!

The person floating closest to him was none other than Meng Kuan, the young master of the Meng family who had just come to call him!
At this moment, he was floating in the sea of ​​clouds, his face was pale as if he had been dead for many days.

What the hell is this!

Just when Liu Bai was thinking about looking into the distance to see if he could see more, he suddenly found that his figure began to float upwards again.

He looked up subconsciously.

It turned out that he had been fished, with the hook right above his head.

His figure floated higher and higher until he left the sea of ​​clouds and floated onto a huge rock. The old marshal then placed him on the open space where he came from.

The fishhook fell off and the old marshal threw it into the sea of ​​clouds again.

The old marshal asked, "What did you see down there?"

Liu Bai was silent for a moment, then said, "I saw a lot of floating corpses, it seemed..."

"Like what?" the old marshal asked with a smile.

"It seems to be someone from this Zouyin City."

Liu Bai said honestly.

Because it was true. When he was rising and about to leave the sea of ​​clouds, he lowered his head and looked inside. He vaguely saw some slightly familiar faces.

It seemed like they were drinkers who had just had a drink together.

The smile on the old marshal's face gradually disappeared, and then he sat on the boulder and sighed. At this moment, Liu Bai felt that he seemed to have aged a lot.

He said, "Forget about this matter when you get out. Don't tell anyone."

Liu Bai was stunned for a moment, then nodded in surprise, he understood something.

"it is good."

The old marshal didn't say anything, so Liu Bai changed the subject and asked, "Old marshal, there are forbidden disasters inside, and there are those in the sky outside. Does the human race... really have no future?"

"The future..."

The old marshal held the fishing rod in his hand and did not answer directly. Instead, he talked about other things, "Do you know where those things in the sky came from?"

Madam Liu had never mentioned the true gods sleeping in the sky, so Liu Bai asked tentatively, "From outside?"

"You're right if you say so."

"It's as if they arrived outside our world overnight, and we don't know where they came from."

The old marshal sighed and said, "So since there are true gods like them outside our world, there must be other beings as well."

"Perhaps there is a more powerful being that ate them all when passing through our world."

"In the future, anything is possible, and no one can predict it."

Just when Liu Bai was about to say that what he had said was all in vain, he heard him change the subject.

"But judging from the current situation, we humans can only rely on ourselves."

"First we have to survive this taboo counterattack, and then we can think of a way to see if our human race can produce a few true gods so that we can reason with these beings in the sky."

"If it doesn't work, we have to keep a spark."

"There are already many followers of the Divine Religion within our human territory..." Before Liu Bai could finish his words, he found that the old marshal turned around and smiled at him.

It seems that there is no need to ask this question any further.

Beings like them are foreign gods. Would they have any mercy on the believers of this world?
If you insist on saying there is, then there is only one possibility.

That is... put them in the dessert position and eat them after the meal.

"If that's the case, then why are there so many ghost walkers who believe in them?"

"Don't you have a saying in your inner city that money makes the world go round?" The old marshal smiled. "There are people everywhere who will do anything to gain power."

"Of course, there are also some who are trying to find another way."

The old marshal didn't say much, and since he didn't say much, Liu Bai didn't ask.

Anyway, this matter is almost the same no matter what.

"Since you are here, you should practice well. It will be useful if you find your own way as soon as possible. The rest... is all fake."

The old marshal smiled and said, "Let's go. There's nothing much to talk about with an old man like me. You young people can go and have fun."

As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Bai felt his body falling again. By the time he reacted, he had returned to the top of the city wall.

After he left, the fishing hook moved slightly. The old marshal pulled it up suddenly and pulled another person out from the sea of ​​clouds.

But this time, what was mentioned was a...corpse.

……

In front of him, the old marshal sat quietly, looking at him with a smile.

Liu Bai heard Xiao Cao's voice in his ears, "Old Marshal, it's been thousands of years, and you haven't changed at all. You are really an old immortal."

After becoming a little familiar, the grass revealed its true form.

Liu Bai didn't say anything more, but bowed and left.

When he took a step back, he found that he, Xiaocao, Xiaosuan, Adao Heimu and the other two had already passed through the area where the old marshal was, turned to the opposite side and continued to move north.

During this time, Hei Mu began to introduce the situation in Zou Yin City to Liu Bai.

The Zouyin City outside the pass is somewhat different from the provincial capital cities inside the pass. The cities inside the pass are similar to Yunzhou City.

The big forces are all organizations, such as the Matchmaker Association.

But it’s not the case in Zouyin City. The strong ones in this city are all families, the same families as the Nine Great Families.

For example, Meng Kuan, who had previously come to invite Liu Bai, was from the Meng family in Zouyin City.

The Meng family can be considered one of the strongest families in Zouyin City.

Hei Mu introduced that the ancestor of the Meng family, Meng Taichong, was also a person who had attained enlightenment, and was at the same level as the heads of the nine major families within the pass.

And he was one of the "Ten People Who Walked into Yin City".

Liu Bai asked again: "Who are these ten people who left Yin City?"

The Ten Men of Zou Yin City. Just by hearing this name, you can tell that they are the ten strongest people in Zou Yin City.

As Hei Mu walked, he slowly recited: "Zou Yin Marshal, Xuan Dao, Meng Taichong, Wu Nu, Xu Maogong, Shangguan Fengyue, Yue Fang, Chuan Huo, Ma Dingguo, Shi Zhuojun, Yuan Chen, Tao Zhongjie, Guan Caifeng."

As Hei Mu recited, Liu Bai counted.

He discovered it as soon as Kuroki finished speaking.

"Aren't these thirteen people?" Liu Bai asked in confusion.

"Thirteen out of ten people go to Yin City. Isn't that normal?"

Kuroki asked back with a smile.

Liu Bai understood as soon as he heard it.

"Let me tell you the general idea first." Hei Mu put his hands behind his back and spoke slowly as he walked.

At this moment, even Adao didn't say anything to interrupt.

Although his strength had improved, he still didn't even know much about the past events in this city.

He didn't know how to ask anyone, but today it was a rare opportunity that Hei Mu was willing to talk, so he pricked up his ears and listened carefully.

"The strongest among them is the old Marshal Zou Yin who has been guarding the city for thousands of years. There is no doubt about that. The second strongest is the Hanging Knife Officer in the city. He and the Fire Spreader are the two major deployments of the old Marshal Zou Yin. The Fire Spreader is in charge of all the internal affairs of the city, while the Hanging Knife Officer is in charge of the Zou Yin Hanging Knife, beheading Zou Yin above and punishing evil spirits below."

"These two are undoubtedly the strongest in Zou Yin City. The rest are ranked equally among the top ten in Zou Yin City."

“Meng Taichong is the ancestor of the Meng family I told you about today. The witch has no family, and she is not from Zouyin City. It is said that she comes from an ancient witch tribe in the Shiwan Mountains.

Later, their tribe was haunted, and she was the only one who escaped. She came to this Zouyin City and stayed there for nearly a thousand years. She usually stayed outside the city."

"Outside the city?"

Liu Bai asked after hearing this.

Hei Mu turned his head and looked to the west, looking at the taboo of the vast yellow sand, and nodded:
"That's right. The witch walks barefoot outside the city all year round, so every time an evil spirit attacks the city, she is the first to know. Then she will place a special cloud-piercing arrow outside the city."

"Once the Cloud Piercing Arrow is fired, the entire Zou Yin City will know what is happening. At that time, the Zou Yin people who are in good condition will spontaneously head to the top of the city."

Hei Mu took a deep breath and said, "That is to say, every time there is a witch walking outside the city, we can be alerted in advance, and I don't know how many ghost walkers died."

Ah Dao couldn't help but nod when he heard this. "Everyone in Zou Yin City remembers the favor of the witch. She is also one of the few Zou Yin people who can stand in front of the old marshal. Of course, you are one of them now."

He looked at Liu Bai and said.

Hei Mu continued to introduce: "According to Xu Maogong, he is from Guannei and is said to be from Chu. I don't know if it's true or not. It is also said that he learned martial arts in Taoism in his early years. I don't know if it's true or not. He holds an astrological array and is good at observing the situation in the world. He is a close friend of Zhang Cang."

Zhang Cang’s best friend should be one of us… Liu Bai muttered to himself.

"Shangguan Fengyue is the ancestor of the Shangguan family and a famous female fairy in Zouyin City, but she has a bad temper. It's best not to say that she is pretty in front of her."

"Yue Fang is good at swordsmanship. He is the contemporary leader of the Kunlun Sword Sect. He has unparalleled swordsmanship and even went deep into the forbidden area to kill a throne evil spirit and brought back its head, thus leaving a statue in the temple on the top of the city."

Liu Bai knew the four major sword veins in the world. They were Kunlun in the west, Bingjia Sword Tomb in the north, Shiwan Mountains in the south, and Penglai in the east.

But this temple... "Is there any particular reason for leaving statues in the temple?"

Liu Bai asked when he didn't understand.

Ah Dao also knew this, so he immediately replied, "Anyone who can kill the evil spirit of the throne can leave his statue in the temple. Currently, those who have left statues include the old marshal, the sword officer, Meng Taichong, the witch, Yue Fang, and Yuan Chen."

"It seems that it will be very difficult to kill the evil spirit on the throne." Liu Bai muttered.

He couldn't help but think of the evil spirit on the throne that was killed by Madam Liu when they were still in Huangliang Town.

Still one against three.

"Killing the throne is not difficult, but killing it surrounded by countless evil spirits is difficult."

"Also, you have to go deep into the forbidden area alone to kill the evil spirit on the throne." Hei Mu added.

Ah Dao then said to Liu Bai: "Hey, what I told you last time in Jiangzhou, I have almost achieved it. The next goal is to leave a statue of me in the temple for future generations to admire!"

"Yes, I am optimistic about you." Hei Mu said with a smile.

Ah Dao rolled his eyes and said, "You should just leave a statue there for yourself first."

"It's coming soon."

Kuroki just said so.

Xiao Suan couldn't get a word in, so he just listened to them telling stories. However, whenever he met a woman on the city wall, she would greet Taoist Xiao Suan warmly.

This made Adao very jealous, as he always felt that he was better looking than Xiaosuan.

"The Firebringer is the internal affairs officer of Zou Yin City. He is responsible for the repairs to the city walls that we just saw. He usually does not get involved in attacks by evil spirits outside the city, so naturally he did not leave any statues."

Hei Mu continued to introduce: "Ma Dingguo is the ancestor of the Ma family. He is a righteous and friendly person. If he encounters any ghost walker in the city who is in trouble with his cultivation, he will lend a hand."

"Shi Zhuojun...she is right there."

Liu Bai looked up at the right time, and saw a fairy with long hair and wearing feathery clothes sitting on the top of the city wall in front of him. She was sitting behind a jade harp, staring at the harp in a daze.

The people who had attained the level of enlightenment that Liu Bai had seen before, except for his own mother who was the most beautiful woman in the world, the rest were all old men and women.

Oh no, that old pervert is excluded too.

The Shi Zhuojun in front of him was the second most beautiful person he had ever seen. He also realized that the stronger you are, the older you are not necessarily.

Perhaps noticing the gaze, Shi Zhuojun also looked over and greeted him as if he was bored.

"Kuroki, Dao, and both of you."

She didn't know Xiao Suan and Liu Bai, so she just called them "you two".

Just as Hei Mu was thinking about introducing them, Xiao Cao jumped out again, stood on Liu Bai's shoulder, put his hands on his hips and shouted, "Little Shizi, don't you even recognize your sister Cao?"

"Sister Cao?"

Shi Zhuojun's scattered gaze gradually became focused, then more spirited, and finally she stood up suddenly, even overturning the zither.

Seeing that Yaoqin was about to fall to the ground, but at the moment she was about to fall to the ground, she put Yaoqin away.

She also took a step forward and stood in front of Liu Bai, and Xiaocao jumped onto her.

"You're still alive. I thought I'd never see you again."

Xiaocao said the same heart-wrenching words as always, but Shi Zhuojun did not seem sad at all. His eyes were even brighter with excitement; they were tears.

"Sister Cao, why are you here? Where is the queen?"

"The queen is at home. I came here with the young master this time."

"Sir?"

Shi Zhuojun then looked at Liu Bai in surprise, and then he called out softly, "Young Master," as if a little uneasy.

A Dao on the side was stunned.

He shouted frantically in his heart, "This is the most beautiful woman in Zouyin City, how can she be related to this boy, and even call him Master!!!"

Hei Mu was used to all this. After all, he and Madam Liu were from the same era, and he knew what Liu Qingyi's situation was like at that time.

Xiao Cao knew that Liu Bai was confused, so she took the initiative to introduce them: "These are the girls that the queen and I taught when we came to Yincheng."

"But the others seem to have died, leaving only her."

"Young Master, you can call her Senior Sister, or you can call her by her name."

When Shi Zhuojun heard this, he squatted down slightly, took Liu Bai's hand, and said with a smile:

"Young Master, just call me by my name. My strength and status are unworthy of the Majesty's teachings. I am not worthy of the title of Senior Sister."

Before Liu Bai could say anything, Xiao Cao immediately said, "I'm calling you Senior Sister because your last name is Shi, so I call you Sister. What are you thinking, little Shizi?"

Even though a thousand years had passed, Shi Zhuojun still felt uncomfortable being choked by the grass.

But fortunately, Liu Bai still had a favorable impression of an elder who had been taught by his mother, "Senior Sister, I am Liu Bai."

When Shi Zhuojun heard this, he immediately burst into laughter, and his smile was extremely bright.

"Okay, okay." She reached out and touched Liu Bai's head, smiling and said, "Your sister has been here in Yincheng all the time. If you encounter any troubles, you can call me."

As she spoke, she took out a thick stack of talisman paper and handed it to Liu Bai, "Whenever you need me, just burn one with your life fire."

After she finished speaking, she stood up and patted her chest gently in a very girlish manner.

"Don't worry, your sister still has some connections and strength in Zou Yin City. As long as you don't provoke the old marshal, she can help you settle other things."

"Okay, thank you sis!"

Liu Bai would never let down other people's kindness, so he took the stack of talisman papers with both hands.

Shi Zhuojun narrowed his eyes and looked at Hei Mu and A Dao again. The threat and vigilance in his eyes were self-evident.

"Okay, go play first, and come find me when you're free."

After bidding farewell to Master Zhuojun, Liu Bai had another powerful backer in Zouyin City.

This time, Hei Mu walked away for a distance before continuing, "The last person to kill the throne evil spirit was Yuan Chen, and it was just last year."

"At that time, an evil spirit attacked the city. The throne sent out in the taboo was the 'lantern ghost' from Shilipu, and the candle illuminated the entire Western Frontier."

"But he was washed clean by Yuan Chen with the water of the avenue."

"His strength should be extremely strong among the ten people in Zou Yin City, and he may even be hiding something."

Hei Mu expressed his judgment, which made Liu Bai want to go to the temple to take a look.

As for the remaining Tao Zhongjie and Guan Caifeng, Hei Mu did not elaborate, only saying that they were the ancestors of the two families.

I think there is nothing special about these two people, they are just ordinary.

It’s similar to Bai family’s ancestor Bai Fei, Liu Bai guessed.

"It seems that Zou Yin City is stronger than the nine major families combined." Liu Bai couldn't help but say after hearing this.

Each of the nine major families has only one ancestor who has attained enlightenment, and there are only nine of them in total.

But when it comes to Yincheng, there are already more than a dozen of them in plain sight.

"Not really." Hei Mu said with a slightly changed tone, "The Nine Families have other means. When the critical moment comes, maybe we still have to rely on them."

Liu Bai wasn't quite sure, so he just nodded and took note.

The four of them headed north, and Hei Mu also used some tricks to speed up his pace. When he was walking at his fastest, he could travel a thousand miles with one step.

Finally, before the sun set, we arrived at the northernmost section of the Yincheng section of the Western Great Wall. Guarding the battlements here was an... old monk.

The old monk was really old. His face was full of wrinkles, even his scalp was covered with wrinkles, and his long white eyebrows almost dragged to the ground.

He didn't open his eyes or look up when Liu Bai and others came.

Liu Bai just looked behind him. Over there was the Qin State. The Qin State had its own set of methods of defense.

Unlike the Chu State, which had to go through Yincheng, they relied on military formations and the art of joint destiny to break through the Qin State's western Great Wall... Unless they could destroy the country in one fell swoop, there was no way out.

Therefore, the focus and center of every major war is still in Zouyin City.

"Let's go, go back."

After seeing the Western Great Wall, Liu Bai was about to leave, but suddenly turned his head to look at the taboos in the west.

Under the boundless moonlight, the sky full of stars is extremely clear, like a Milky Way hanging upside down on the sky, which is a scene that cannot be seen in the inland world.

And when he looked closely, Liu Bai discovered something unusual.

"Isn't today the fifteenth? Why is there still a waning moon?"

"It is forbidden to fall into the waning moon forever." Hei Mu explained: "This is something that has been around since ancient times."

"That's what the sky looks like."

It was rare for Taoist Xiao Suan to say something.

"Ok."

Liu Bai jumped down from the top of the city wall. As he fell, he saw a grave mountain to the north, with blue ghost lights floating all over the mountain.

Next to the grave hill is a magnificent palace, which is very eye-catching in this dilapidated Zouyin City.

"Where is this?" Liu Bai asked as he slowed down.

"That's the Mountain of Ten Thousand Graves and the Temple."

Wanfen Mountain... Liu Bai remembered that when he was in Yangguan before, the final destination of the souls of his ancestors after passing through the Ghost Gate was Wanfen Mountain.

I just heard them talk about it in the temple.

"Can I still go and have a look now?"

It was already sunset, so Liu Bai asked one more question. After all, according to the old tradition, some places cannot be entered after sunset.

"Yes, we can go to our own place anytime."

Adao took the lead and went straight to the temple.

Liu Bai followed closely behind. The place was not far away to begin with, and in the blink of an eye they had arrived at the entrance of the temple.

It does not look like an ancestral hall, but rather has the structure of a court in the human world. At the entrance, there are several huge beams supporting the roof, which is painted with vermilion, and the golden tiles on the roof are very conspicuous.

Even before entering the door, Liu Bai had already seen several golden statues placed in the temple.

As they were waiting to step through the door, they saw the golden statue of the old marshal placed right in the center of the temple. It was in front of his statue that the most incense was burned. At this moment, A Dao was also holding the sacred incense and lighting it.

On his right hand side was a tall man with a long sword hanging from his waist, but the long sword on his waist was not like the one Ah Dao had, but was more like the Tang sword that Liu Bai had seen in his previous life, with a long and narrow blade.

He wore a conical hat and a white mask on his face, covering his features.

"This is the Hanging Sword Officer."

Hei Mu introduced beside Liu Bai.

The statue of Meng Taichong, the ancestor of the Meng family, looks like a ruthless man, as he has a bald head and a face full of flesh.

Yue Fang fits the image of an old swordsman in Liu Bai's mind very well. He carries a long sword on his back, has a thin figure, and has a long beard.

The witch looks very young, with a petite figure. She is barefoot and has a ribbon draped over her body. Her face also seems to be painted with various colors, but it is difficult to see clearly from the sculpture.

Yuan Chen looked like a middle-aged man, but his body was a little hunched.

When he saw him, the image of an assassin emerged in Liu Bai's mind.

After looking at the statues of these people, Liu Bai also burned incense one by one, and finally discovered that there was another statue in the corner of the wall.

But he had his back to everyone, as if he was thinking about his mistakes.

Just judging from the traces nearby, it seems like it was moved here not long ago, and there are many scratches on the back of the statue.

"This is……"

Liu Bai asked.

Adao didn't say anything, and it was still Hei Mu who spoke first.

"Yu Cang was the original ancestor of the Yu family, but he defected to the Taboo and was killed by the old marshal himself not long ago. He also killed the Evil Throne for the human race before."

"Not long ago?"

"Yes, on the day Bai Fei was killed, he rebelled and wanted to break through the city wall in one fell swoop to let the forbidden evil spirit in, but before he could do anything, he was killed by the old marshal."

When Hei Mu said this, A Dao dared to speak, "He thought he had done it perfectly when he defected to the Taboo, but the Firebringer had already seen it, but he just didn't do anything."

After hearing this, Liu Bai looked at the statue in front of him again with a complicated look in his eyes.

He didn't know what Yu Cang had gone through to make a ghost walker who had killed the evil spirit of the throne for the human race turn to join the taboo.

After coming out of the temple, Liu Bai went to the nearby Wanfen Mountain.

There were flickering ghost lights on the mountain, and the mountain guard stopped them, saying not to disturb the souls that had come from afar.

Therefore, Liu Bai and his three companions burned incense to these human ancestors at the entrance of the mountain road before returning to the city.

Everyone went back to their homes, and Taoist Xiao Suan returned to Huanghua Temple.

Adao has no fixed place to stay, so he plans to find a friend to stay with for the night. If that doesn't work, he can just lie down on the side of the road and sleep.

Liu Bai followed Hei Mu back to his home.

No. 12 Taomu Street.

The yard was not big, even smaller than Liu Bai's house, and there were only two rooms. Hei Mu even left the slightly larger one empty for Liu Bai to live in.

Silent all night.

When Liu Bai woke up the next day, he found that Hei Mu was already practicing in the yard.

Different from the aggressive look he showed when he was just resurrected, Heimu now gave Liu Bai a restrained feeling.

But the feeling it gave him was...even more terrifying.

After greeting each other, Liu Bai came to sit next to Hei Mu and asked, "Who do you think will be arranged to be my opponent at the welcoming banquet in two days?"

Hei Mu hesitated for a moment, but did not rush to answer. Instead, he reminded him, "Young Master, do not let your guard down. These geniuses in Yin City may not be worse than those of the Nine Families. Some of them are even stronger."
