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

Chapter 295 Throne Embryo [asking for monthly ticket]

“I have an idea!”

Inside Liu Bai's shop, Huang Shangguan, who was eating melon seeds, raised his right index finger but spoke in a low voice.

Hu Shuo and Deng Ying on the side came over. Although Lei Xu couldn't stand Huang Shangguan's sloppy appearance, he still pricked up his ears reluctantly when he heard this.

Now, more than a month has passed since the last evil attack on the city.

Liu Bai's shop's business has long returned to normal, and basically there are a few customers in half a day.

Moreover, as Huang Shangguan and his group came more and more frequently, they could also help him look after the shop.

Just in exchange, his shop became a gathering place for the geniuses from the eight families.

Sometimes even Liu Ruzhi would come over to take a look. Although she didn't say anything, she would nod when she saw Liu Bai.

Liu Bai was too lazy to argue with her.

Anyway, the gap between those who can’t beat me will only get bigger and bigger...Except for Qi Yin, what’s the point of building a shrine immediately when he can’t beat me!
Liu Bai thought that he should also build the shrine quickly to avoid being left too much space by Qi Yin.

So over the past month, Liu Bai has worked very hard. Whenever he has free time, he eats mountain spirit meat.

When night comes, he will ask Hei Mu to help him find an evil or haunted creature.

After finding Liu Bai, he did not kill him, but just stayed beside him so that he could help him grow his spirituality.

This made Liu Bai regain the feeling of practicing hard with Master Ma. He led him to the old woods like this at that time... Liu Bai still remembers the smell of the old woman's hair.

This made Xiaocao cry and scream for several days, saying that she could no longer satisfy the young master.

Liu Bai found it strange, and what was even stranger was that since that day, Xiao Cao had "given" more.

Of course, what is given is spirituality.

Previously, you could only get 0.1 attribute point in half a day, but now you can get 0.5 in half a day.

This made Liu Bai unable to catch up even if he ate the mountain spirit's meat. Liu Bai even felt as if the grass was forcing him towards the path of evil.

But fortunately, after Liu Bai's threats and warnings, Xiaocao finally restrained himself a little.

It took half a day to give about 0.3 attribute points.

This allowed Liu Bai to barely catch up.

In this way, the energy, blood and spirituality increased by 0.6 in a day, allowing Liu Bai to quickly move towards the shrine mark of 200 attribute points.

As for now, Liu Bai looked at them sitting there doing nothing for a long time, and finally came up with an idea, and he became a little curious.

I'm curious about what good ideas Huang Shangguan has.

"Do you... dare to leave the city?" Huang Shangguan, who was surrounded by several people, said in a low voice.

"Leaving the city? Why wouldn't I be afraid of leaving the city?"

I thought he might have some good ideas, but I lost interest as soon as I heard them.

But just after he finished speaking, seeing that the others didn't react, he knew that he must have been wrong, and immediately shuddered.

"When you say leaving the city, you mean... the Great Wall in the West?" Hu Shuo asked tentatively in a low voice.

"What else do you think?"

Huang Shangguan asked back.

In the inner room, Hei Mu, who originally disliked Huang Shangguan and the others for being too noisy, suddenly opened his eyes and couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth.

After hearing this, Deng Ying was also eager to try and said, "Pijian and Xiaoxuandao have been hanging around outside the city. I've been wanting to go out and take a look for a long time."

He touched his bald head and looked at Hu Shuo provocatively.

Hu Shuo immediately said: "Me too, I have long wanted to see what the taboo looks like."

Compared to the two of them, Lei Xu frowned subconsciously, and then asked Huang Shangguan: "Did you find something?"

Lei Xu is as reliable as ever.

"Ah."

Huang Shangguan nodded and said, "Many of the people who went out of the city to walk the streets these days came back injured, especially the younger generation. Even Xiao Xuandao was injured when he came back yesterday."

"Then I asked someone to inquire about it. They said that there was a group of powerful evil spirits outside the city. Their whereabouts were strange and they specifically targeted young people."

"Oh?"

Lei Xu seemed to have thought of something.

Shi Shanfeng, who had been sitting in the corner and had not said much, whispered at this moment: "If we go out rashly like this, will it cause trouble for our family?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Hu Shuo and Deng Ying immediately stopped moving.

No matter which family of the Eight Great Families they are, they are not allowed to leave the city now.

Huang Shangguan was not surprised when he heard this. He just said calmly, "It's okay. Lei Xu and I will go out and find out when the time comes. You guys wait at home."

After listening to this, Lei Xu raised his eyebrows, as if to ask, when did I agree?

"Oh, I didn't say I wouldn't go."

Deng Ying touched his bald head and said with a vicious look.

"Lei Xu, do you know something?"

Hu Shuo learned his lesson this time and stopped expressing his opinions.

Noticing the gazes of several people, Lei Xu said "hmm", "I borrowed a batch of books from Meng's house a few days ago, and saw some introductions about taboos in them."

"If nothing unexpected happens, the throne embryo in the taboo should be released."

"Throne embryo?"

Huang Shangguan said in surprise.

"Well, you can simply understand it as the genius among the evil spirits. This is also what the taboo has been doing. They are trying to raise many throne evil spirits themselves, so that they can divide up the mountains and rivers of our human race's Central Plains more quickly."

After listening to Lei Xu's introduction, Liu Bai came out from behind the counter.

"That's certainly possible."

"The throne embryo should be some evil creature with very strange means and strong power."

"Well, are you going too?"

Lei Xu looked at Liu Bai and asked.

Before Liu Bai could answer, Hei Mu's figure walked out from the inner room.

When they saw him, Huang Shangguan and his companions didn't even think of standing up to say hello. They saw him every day, so it was a relief that they didn't say "hello".

"If you want to go, I will accompany you." Hei Mu looked around with a smile, and then said again: "If you guys want to go..."

"I will tell your family."

"No way, Hei Mu, what a sin you have committed!"

Huang Shangguan let out a wail and fell on the table.

"No, Senior Hei Mu, we are just going out for a walk at the entrance of the Great Wall. We won't go far." Hu Shuo also hurriedly explained.

As for Deng Ying, he was muttering that he would never come here to discuss things again.

Hei Mu waited until they finished complaining before explaining, "You are aware of the dangers of the taboo. If something really happens, it would be fine if you were killed, but it would be a huge loss to your respective families and the Yin City."

Huang Shangguan wanted to say something, but Lei Xu had already reached out to stop him.

"What the senior said is true. We were indeed a little reckless in this matter. We can't be impatient. We should go back and ask our family first."

After Lei Xu finished speaking, he bowed respectfully to Hei Mu, then turned around and left.

"Hey, you stubborn ass."

Huang Shangguan hurriedly chased after him.

When Shi Shanfeng saw the two of them leaving, he stepped forward and bowed to Hei Mu, then hurriedly caught up with them.

Deng Ying snorted coldly.

Hu Shuo also said hello to Liu Bai, "Brother, I'll leave first."

"go Go."

"..."

After a while.

Hu Shuo caught up with Lei Xu and Huang Shangguan who were walking faster and faster, but then he discovered that this was not the way to the Lei family, nor the way to the Huang family, but... the way out of the city!
After walking for a while, Lei Xu and his companion stopped when they got close to the city wall.

Huang Shangguan turned around and asked, "Are you the only one who followed us?"

There was no sign of Deng Ying and Shi Shanfeng.

But just as he finished speaking, a young man walked out from another street. He scratched his head and said with some embarrassment: "Do we really have to go out? I think Hei Mu... Okay, okay, I'll go too."

Hu Shuo blinked and finally understood.

It turns out that Huang Shangguan and Lei Xu were acting as a double act and deceived Hei Mu?

Shi Shanfeng saw this and realized that only he and Deng Ying were kept in the dark... No, he was the only fool who was kept in the dark!
Hu Shuo said seriously: "If we delay, something unexpected will happen. If Senior Hei Mu reacts, it will be troublesome. We should leave quickly if we want to."

"Well, that makes sense."

After saying that, several people jumped onto the top of the city wall, preparing to find a deserted place while walking.

Hu Shuo took the opportunity to ask, "Lei Xu, weren't you quite steady before? Why are you so reckless now?"

Huang Shangguan laughed when he heard this.

But Lei Xu still answered Hu Shuo's question seriously, "Another big tree cannot grow under the protection of a big tree. We can't always rely on our family."

"What a coincidence, I thought so too!"

As the two were talking, they arrived at an uninhabited city wall. Without anyone reminding them, they used their own methods to escape into the forbidden area filled with yellow sand.

But after they left, the figures of Liu Bai and Hei Mu appeared.

Seeing this, Hei Mu sighed and said, "It has to be a young master, otherwise I would have been deceived by these youngsters today."

Xiao Cao also cooperated and said, "Sir, how did you find out that they were lying?"

"Because Lei Xu is a sinister person, let's go and follow him."

Liu Bai said this and turned to look at Hei Mu.

The latter said with a smile: "How can we not make the Eight Great Families owe me a favor? Let's go."

After saying that, the two of them disappeared again on the top of the city wall, following Lei Xu and his companions from a distance.

This was also the first time that Liu Bai left the city wall and went to this forbidden area, so he was inevitably a little curious.

The moment he left the city wall, Liu Bai realized the difference of this taboo.

Cold.

The sun was shining brightly, and the desert was reflecting the sun, but there was no warmth on the body, and there was even a slight chill.

The yellow sand area in front of us is also the last relatively safe place.

As long as they are here, even if a fierce evil suddenly rushes out, those ghost people who sit high on the city wall or even appear as gods will be able to rescue them in time.

But once you pass through this area and reach the ancient taboo, danger is everywhere.

Lei Xu and his companions were not slow. In just half a cup of tea, they had already entered the forbidden jungle.

Liu Bai stopped outside for a moment and looked around.

It was very strange that the yellow sand land came to an abrupt end here, and a dense forest with towering ancient trees suddenly appeared in front of us.

Even at the edge of the yellow sand, you can still see the roots of these ancient trees.

But further ahead, there are these towering ancient trees.

Liu Bai moved again, and a figure suddenly appeared in front of him. The witch.

She first glanced at Liu Bai, and then said to Hei Mu: "If you go in, the throne inside will be able to detect it, and then the whole body will inevitably be affected."

Hei Mu frowned, he naturally believed what the witch said.

Even heard this before.

But if that's the case, then I'm afraid I won't be able to go on this forbidden journey.

"Then Hei Mu, you just wait for me outside. I'll go in and take a look myself." Liu Bai did not hesitate.

"Sir, you..."

Before Hei Mu could finish his words, he was interrupted by Liu Bai, "They can't kill me, and those who can kill me don't dare to kill me, so don't worry."

Madam Liu's identity and strength make her seem like she has connections with both the black and white worlds.

"Besides, you can just wait for me here on the edge. If you are still worried, give me a way to save my life."

After hearing this, Hei Mu realized...it was really the case.

Judging from the current relationship between taboos and the human race, to put it bluntly, if Liu Bai is in the taboo and the old temple keeper knows about it.

Then Liu Bai might be safer in the forbidden area than in the human territory.

"also."

As Hei Mu spoke, he stretched out his hand and grabbed a wisp of wildfire out of thin air. Then he gently patted Liu Bai's shoulder and the fire entered his body.

"Just light a wildfire when you encounter danger. As long as those top thrones don't attack you, they can bring you back."

"If the top throne really attacks you, you don't have to worry...it's probably the one from the Zun Shen Mountain who wants to see you."

Kuroki saw all of this very clearly.

"it is good."

Liu Bai nodded seriously, bowed to the two of them, then turned around and stepped into the forbidden jungle.

Kuroki looked at his back and sighed softly.

Since he had no chance of getting favors from these eight families, he could only hope that nothing happened to them.

Hmm... Kuroki looked back and now he could talk to them.

"Witch, I'm watching here, please do me a favor..."

"..."

"Young master, do you feel like you've returned to the old woods?" Xiaocao whispered in Liu Bai's ear.

"Indeed, there was one just now." Liu Bai said as he took a step forward. The long-lost ghost body reappeared in the world. The forbidden aura that originally made him feel uncomfortable also made him feel at ease again.

"It's gone now."

Liu Bai opened his arms, feeling quite liberated.

It's been so long since I turned into a ghost that I forgot that I'm actually a ghost.

"Let's go and follow them."

Unlike Lei Xu and his gang of ghost walkers, they have to be very careful when walking in taboo areas and dare not violate the rules in the slightest.

The taboos of walking in Liu Bai's ghost body are not much different from being at home.

So in just a few moments, he found the cautious Lei Xu and others under a towering pine tree.

Among them, Lei Xu, the strongest, led the way, followed by Huang Shangguan, and Shi Shanfeng and Hu Shuo, who were slightly weaker, walked in the middle.

The four of them stood back to back, each on their own.

But as soon as he saw it, Liu Bai felt he couldn't go forward.

The geniuses of the eight great families all have many tricks up their sleeves, and it would be easy for them to be noticed if they got too close. But even so, Liu Bai only paused for a moment before he realized that Huang Shangguan was looking in his direction.

Liu Bai's ghost body hid in the dark shade of the trees, not daring to move at all.

After waiting for a while, I saw Huang Shangguan look away.

"This bastard is really strong."

After waiting for a while, until they all left, Liu Bai rose into the sky and looked down. He saw that to the west, south and north there were endless dense forests. Only in the east, after passing the yellow sand, there was the Western Great Wall that stretched from north to south.

“Xiaocao, is this entire taboo a dense forest?”

Liu Bai asked in his heart.

"Anyway, the place where my wife and I have been is like this. There is also a very long Weeping Sorrow River and an old water hole. But I heard that if you go west, there is an endless sea over there. I don't know if it's true or not."

Xiaocao muttered.

"How do we get to the Land of God's Fall?"

"The Land of the Fallen Gods, it's right there..." Before Xiao Cao could finish her words, she had already reacted and quickly shouted, "Master, you are fooling me again!"

"I'm never going to talk to you again."

Xiaocao turned his head away angrily, and Liu Bai smiled and fell from the sky and returned to the dense forest.

But the moment he came back, he felt a little dazed.

What followed was the cry of the grass from deep in my heart.

"Master!!"

Liu Bai woke up suddenly, but his feet had been grabbed by a pair of dry and withered hands.

There was a sound of something scratching the void above my head, and the hairs on my back stood on end, as if someone was pressing on my vital points.

Thaumaturgy!

Four magical techniques are used together!

These bastards actually discovered my existence a long time ago!

When Liu Bai thought of this, he let go of his...ghost without hesitation.

The moment the mountains of corpses and seas of blood emerged, he had already left the place and ascended to his throne.

The entropy thunder struck the place where he was originally standing, but it ended up hitting Hu Shuo's zombie that he hadn't moved away in time.

Shi Shanfeng, who was plucking the string of destiny, seemed to have seen something unbelievable. He stopped in a hurry and spit out blood.

Seeing them like this, Liu Bai didn't want to fight anymore.

With the ghost body, once the action starts, it will be a life-and-death fight.

After all, Liu Bai's ghost body does not hide so many tricks. What it has is just the Yin Thunder blessed by the Thunder of Entropy.

If this thing gets out, Lei Xu won’t be able to withstand it.

So after dodging it, he put away the ghost den and leaped towards the depths of the forbidden area.

This made Huang Shangguan, who was just about to use a ruthless move, a little surprised, "Why is this evil spirit running away?"

Hu Shuo looked at his shriveled corpse with a distressed look on his face. Lei Xu was also a little embarrassed. "Put it away first. I'll chop it up for you when we get back to the city."

Although I can still strike now, I have to keep this limited entropy change thunder to save my life.

After listening to this, Hu Shuo felt relieved and then looked fiercely in the direction where Liu Bai left.

"It's all this ghost thing's fault. Let's go, chase him and kill him!"

"Ah."

Lei Xu had the same idea. It was just a ghost. What was there to be afraid of?
Shi Shanfeng was a little conflicted, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated. However, seeing that Lei Xu and the other two had already caught up, he had no choice but to follow.

"Sir, they are chasing you."

Liu Bai also discovered this, so he prepared to make a detour to lead them out first. The deeper into the taboo, the more dangerous it would be. It would be fine if he went in alone, but it would be dangerous if they came in.

But just as he was about to turn around, he suddenly felt a breath coming from the front... a similar breath.

Is there an evil spirit coming?!

Liu Bai stopped and immediately saw an evil spirit with a human head and a bird body suddenly falling from the branch in front of him. He lowered his head and glanced at it coldly.

"Whose family do you belong to?"

"How come I've never seen you before?"

Whose family? I belong to Liu Qingyi's family... Liu Bai sneered, "What does it have to do with you?"

"Heh, you don't have any strength at all, but you have a bad temper. Just a few human sneaks beat you and made you flee."

"Go ahead if you have the ability."

Liu Bai laughed.

While the two ghosts were talking, Lei Xu and his four companions had caught up with them and Huang Shangguan was still bragging.

"Two evil creatures, just kill them all at once!"

The evil creature with a human head and a bird body sneered, flapped its wings and flew up. In an instant, the entire dense forest nearby was shrouded in black fog.

Liu Bai was not in a hurry to leave. If nothing unexpected happened, this evil spirit would be the embryo of the forbidden throne.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be so arrogant.

The opportunity is just right now to see whether there is any gap between this throne embryo and the human race's genius.

The ghostly black fog can block the sight of those who sneak into the underworld, and can even weaken the strength of the life fire.

But there was no obstacle for Liu Bai, and his vision in the ghost cave was even clearer.

So he saw that the moment the evil spirit released the ghost den, it replaced its position with the origin, and then flapped its wings and dived towards Hu Shuo.

It can also be seen that among these four people, Hu Shuo is the weakest one.

"scare--"

Shi Shanfeng, who was hiding behind Hu Shuo, raised his finger slightly and moved it slightly, and an invisible silk thread was gently plucked by him.

Then the evil spirit's eyes became somewhat unfocused.

Huangshangguan——Dream Butterfly!
Then a zombie suddenly jumped up from the ground, grabbed the evil spirit's belly with its shriveled hands and tore it apart violently.

Lei Xu didn't even have to do anything, the throne embryo was already dead.

But the origin was not dead yet. It appeared at the other end of the ghost den, but it looked a little frightened.

No wonder it's weak.

It’s just that the people in front of me are too strong, and they started with some magical skills. This thing... is really not so easy to stop.

"You really can't just watch the fight. These bastards are so weird, why don't you take action quickly!"

The evil spirit with a human head and a bird body couldn't hold on any longer, so he thought of calling Liu Bai to take action.

"Isn't Brother Bird very strong? Why do you want me to take action now?"

Liu Bai smiled and flashed away, also rushing towards Lei Xu and the others, but he deliberately picked Shi Shanfeng and Hu Shuo.

The other evil spirit flapped its wings and crashed into Lei Xu and Huang Shangguan.

When they separated into two groups, the evil spirit became more confident.

Then, pieces of bird feathers appeared in front of Huang Shangguan, and bird beaks appeared beside Lei Xu.

"Kill! Shi Shanfeng punches him quickly and kills him!"

As he spoke Hu Shuo, he retreated frantically, and at the same time, the zombie came out from the ground again.

Shi Shanfeng wanted to go up but stopped. However, during the brief pause, he seemed to hear something and turned his head to look at a small stone under the root of a tree in front of him on the right.

He plucked the strings of fate again.
