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

Chapter 30: The Human Skin of the Painted Skin Ghost [Seeking Follow-up Reading]

"The son of Madam Liu who runs an incense and candle shop in the town is learning some skills from me now. He is quite good. He can light a fire at a young age."

When Master Ma said this, he was grinning, and his mouth was grinning very wide.

There was an unstoppable smile on his face.

Zhao Jiu first thought about it for a while, as if wondering how Madam Liu could have such a big baby, but when he thought that the girl was not from the local area, he naturally couldn't understand it clearly.

After he realized what was happening, he praised, "Oh my goodness."

"At this age, he has already started a fire... Even in Blood Food City, this is rare, right?"

"Brother Lao Ma is Brother Lao Ma."

Zhao Jiu gave a thumbs up to the old man holding the pipe.

Mr. Ma shook his head modestly, but he was thinking in his heart... As expected, this would only be effective if he showed off to someone who knows the business.

Otherwise, tell other people.

At most they would say... Awesome!
How could he be as knowledgeable as Zhao Jiu, who even knew to compare it with the Blood Food City? It really makes me feel so happy!
As for whether Liu Bai was able to start the fire so early because of Ma Laosan's credit, he didn't care.

Anyway, it was Ma Laosan who helped light the fire, so that’s his credit!

Liu Bai was too lazy to flatter them, so he just acted like a cute child, looking around, then ran to a chair nearby and sat down to listen to them talk.

Well...mainly I want to take this opportunity to understand what is going on in this world.

There's no way. My mother is too proud to tell me these things, so I can only figure it out myself.

Soon, a woman of average appearance came out of the room. She served tea to Mr. Ma and, at Zhao Jiu's reminder, also poured a glass of boiled water for Liu Bai.

Before I could wait for a moment, a man in a short shirt in this late autumn came running back in a hurry, gasping for breath.

The movement of qi and blood in his body was obviously different from that of an ordinary person, but he was not a ghost.

Liu Bai guessed that it was similar to his previous situation.

The qi and blood are much higher than the spirituality, the furnace will burn through.

"Mayor, Master Ma."

The man who rushed in shouted.

"Where is Taoist Yixiao?" Zhao Jiu asked hurriedly. There were only a few ghost walkers like him in Huangliang Town.

Not long ago, something happened to Wang Po again. What if something happened to Taoist Yixiao again... he didn't dare to think about it.

"He...he didn't go back to Ku Yue Mountain last night."

"Then where is he?"

"He was in our town, spending the night at Widow Lin's house. It took me a long time to find him."

Zhao Jiu, who was originally very nervous, suddenly looked gloomy and sat back.

Mr. Ma drank strong tea and shook his head.

Soon, there were grumblings outside the house, "Why don't you go to the city to look for those people for this kind of thing... and look for me? It's no use looking for me."

Liu Bai looked back and saw an old bald Taoist priest wearing a knee-length blue jacket walking in.

He didn't even wear a Taoist headband, he just had a bald head in broad daylight.

Liu Bai could only say that he had a lot of personality.

After Taoist Yixiao walked in, he first bowed to Master Ma, then nodded to the town mayor Zhao Jiu, and finally looked at Liu Bai, said "Huh", and bowed as well.

"This little brother is really capable."

Liu Bai didn't know how to respond, so he could only jump off the chair and softly said, "Hello, Taoist Priest."

So the Taoist priest sat down next to him with a smile, tapping the table lightly.

"A tough guy has appeared from the Yin Vein. Almost all the people guarding it have died. The families in the city all depend on the Yin Vein for their livelihood, so they naturally can't give up. So we just have to wait."

Taoist Master Yixiao seemed to be very open-minded. "What you are worried about is whether those ancestors will come back. You don't have to worry about that. I can assure you that they will definitely come, and there will be more than one."

He spoke in a relaxed and confident manner, which immediately gave the town mayor Zhao Jiu a great sense of security.

As for Master Ma... let me ask you, who can give us a greater sense of security than Empress Liu?

That's why he always takes Liu Bai with him wherever he goes. After hearing this, Zhao Jiu's eyes turned slightly, "Brother Ma, Taoist Yixiao, how about this, if Blood Food City sends someone, they will arrive tomorrow morning at the latest, otherwise you two can rest in our town tonight?"

After saying that, he looked at Taoist Master Yixiao, smiled, and said, "I heard that Ms. Liu, who sells tofu in the west of the town...her husband was possessed by a ghost outside and died."

"She may need a Taoist priest to come to her house and perform a ritual to comfort her."

The bald Taoist priest immediately perked up after hearing this, but he quickly held his waist and said with embarrassment:

"Last night, Widow Lin was sick, and I treated her all night... Today I have to go to Miss Liu's place again."

"Well, I just can't bear to see the people suffer. You two, I'll go first."

After saying that, he clasped his fists towards them and immediately turned and left.

Liu Bai watched his footsteps and always felt that he was impatient.

Seeing that he stayed, Zhao Jiu looked at Master Ma again, "Brother Ma, I heard that there have been a lot of new things happening in our town recently, especially the Hu family... It's really a mess."

When Mr. Ma heard this, his heart moved and he immediately straightened his back.

Liu Bai just watched silently, sighing in his heart that it was no wonder that Zhao Jiu could sit on the position of town mayor.

He tried to please the Taoist priest, Yixiao, who liked to "cure" women, so he told him about Ms. Liu.

Mr. Ma likes to listen to gossip, so he deliberately revealed this little bit.

Tsk, the routine is really deep.

When Liu Bai noticed the gaze of Mr. Ma, he knew that he must have been moved.

"I want to go home, too."

Liu Bai also didn't want to go back to the Ma family farm halfway up the mountain. It was even more terrifying in that desolate wilderness.

Upon hearing this, Master Ma slapped his thigh and said, "I want to go back, but my disciple is determined not to leave, so there is nothing I can do. I can only stay here and bother you for a while."

With two assassins willing to stay, Zhao Jiu felt much more secure and his face immediately broke into a smile.

"No trouble, no trouble."

After thorough discussion, we discussed countermeasures.

Master Ma personally sent Liu Bai back home, repeatedly told him not to run around, and said that he would come to the door to accompany him in the evening, and then left immediately.

Liu Bai returned home alone, fortunately Xiao Cao was there to keep him company.

But he was bored being alone, and as he listened to Xiaocao's mumbling, he quickly turned his gaze to the end of the bed.

To outsiders, it was just an ordinary place, but he knew that there was a secret room hidden underneath.

An identical room.

Liu Bai glanced at Xiaocao who was standing on the table telling ghost stories, and he didn't flinch or show any cowardice.

He got up and went straight to the underground room.

When Madam Liu was here, he didn't dare go down. Now that she is gone... Liu Bai feels that he is fine again.

Xiao Cao reacted quickly and said, "Young Master, what are you going to do?!"

Liu Bai turned around and said in confusion, "Isn't this my home? What's wrong with me visiting my home?"

Xiaocao thought so, but by the time it reacted, Liu Bai had already gone underground.

The arrangement was exactly the same, and the white candles seemed like they would never burn out, adding a bit of chilliness to the underground.

Liu Bai looked around and found that the pool of blood in the opposite corner had dried up, but other than that, there was nothing unusual.

He immediately went to the nearest closet and opened it.

Xiaocao, who followed behind, was so scared that he immediately covered his mouth.

Liu Bai also took a look and was so scared that he took several steps back.

Because what is hanging in this closet is not clothes...it is human skin, two human skins!
At this moment, perhaps Liu Bai woke them up by opening the closet.

The human skin...opened its eyes.
