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

Chapter 301 Exchange
The fog emerged and dispersed, and Liu Bai's figure walked out of it and appeared in front of the grave where he was previously.

At this moment, neither the red makeup on the left nor the human head on the right are on the grave.

Not only that, there are only a few throne embryos on this entire mass grave, and most of them have gone far away.

Liu Bai also noticed that there were two throne embryos staring at him closely, and he wanted to go up but stopped.

The sound of grass suddenly rang in his heart.

"Sir, do you really believe what the owner of the embryo grave said?"

Liu Bai remained calm on the surface, but he sneered in his heart, "Have you never heard of the term 'nonsense'?"

Only then did Xiaocao feel relieved.

"I suspect... he is either testing me, or he really knows my identity."

Liu Bai didn't say anything more because the two throne embryos who were staring at him walked up.

One is a mountain spirit, the other is an evil spirit.

The mountain spirit among them looked like an albino locust spirit, wearing a white hollow robe and three pairs of thin white wings behind it, which were tightly attached to its body. Its head was extremely small and its facial features were shrunk into a ball, but two long tentacles grew out of the top of its head.

Four arms and two legs.

The four of them raised their hands and bowed together, saying, "Mole Cricket, greetings to the captain."

The sound is a bit shrill and not as rough as a human head.

The remaining evil creature was a real evil spirit. Its old appearance, hunched body and green eyes were exactly what Liu Bai imagined an evil spirit to be.

"Greetings from the molting ghost, Captain." An old voice sounded, and then it took out a piece of extremely delicate and small human skin from its body.

"This is what the embryo grave owner gave to each team for communication. If there is any arrangement, the text will appear on it."

Liu Bai took it and nodded, "Have the rest of the team leaders come out too?"

Mole Cricket quickly replied: "No, the water snake and Hongzhuang haven't come out yet."

"Oh?"

Liu Bai's heart moved. This ghost thing, Embryo Tomb, was indeed not simple. While it was talking to him, it was also distracted and talking to other evil spirits.

But this also made Liu Bai even less convinced of his previous words.

"Let's go find a place to talk."

"..."

In fact, Liu Bai really did some injustice to the embryo grave owner. When he was talking to him, the embryo grave owner did not dare to relax for a moment until he saw him leave.

The embryo grave owner then transformed into two and came in front of the water snake and Hongzhuang.

The first thing he said when he arrived in front of the water snake was, "You are no match for that Lei Sha, don't try to rub against him, it's better for you to keep your head down."

"..."

What I said to the woman in red makeup was.

"Don't be in a hurry to lift the red veil. Wait for my news. Just think of it as a great gift for Xu Wenyuan..."

The Ju Mang Mountain given by the owner of the embryo tomb was of course an illusion, and his real backup plan was right in front of him.

Red makeup.

To be precise, it should be the red makeup that lifts the red veil.

Once she completely lifts up the red veil, even the little ghost will be seriously injured in front of her.

As for those geniuses who have escaped from the city... maybe 50% to 60% of them will die.

Thinking of this, the owner of the embryo tomb became a little excited.

only……

He collected his thoughts and looked in the direction Liu Bai had left.

To him, this was a troublesome matter. He could neither beat the enemy nor kill him... For a moment, the owner of the embryo grave really wanted to tell the little ghost about this so that the two of them could fight to the point of mutual destruction.

But this is just something we can think about.

Normally, the first thing to do when discovering Liu Bai's whereabouts is to inform the master of the mass grave who is in charge of the real mass grave... Ren Tu.

But before he could tell the truth, the owner of the embryo tomb came to Bai Zhe again.

The latter's expression was still defiant, even a little crazy.

"Do you really want to kill Liu Bai so much?" asked the embryo grave owner expressionlessly.

"Yes I do."

Bai Zhe said as a matter of course.

The embryo grave owner asked again: "Why?"

"Everyone in the world can die, so why can't Liu Bai die?" Bai Zhe smiled grimly and curled his lips, "There is no such rule in the world."

"If he dies, you will die."

"So what?" Bai Zhe said with a fearless look, "If I can really kill him, it will be worth it!"

"Then go and kill him now."

While the master of the embryo tomb was speaking, a fog appeared in front of Bai Zhe. At the end of the fog was Liu Bai, who was talking to crickets and molting ghosts in a bush.

Bai Zhe hesitated now, then raised his head and asked, "Are you really going to let me, a ghost, kill him?"

The master of the embryo tomb then waved his hand to disperse the fog, and sneered with undisguised contempt.

Seeing this, Bai Zhe couldn't help but ask curiously, "Why didn't you tell the two seniors on the throne that he was Liu Bai?"

"Even if I don't tell them, I have to tell Master."

Bai Zhe’s master is naturally that butcher.

"No rush, no rush."

The embryo grave owner, with his hands folded in his sleeves, just said so.

There are just some things he will never say.

The little ghost had already made it known that he wanted to fight a life-and-death battle with Qi Yin, and then test Liu Bai's strength.

The owner of his tomb didn't say it, but isn't it the same?

It's just that he is not good at fighting, so he has no interest in Qi Yin in Zou Yin City. He wants to play a game of chess with the young master.

At this time, the two of them used these Yin-walking geniuses and throne embryos as chess pieces, and exchanged hands with each other.

At the same time, since he has discovered Liu Bai's identity, he naturally wants to take this opportunity to test Liu Bai's depth.

Besides, if anything goes wrong, the master will take care of it, so what is there to be afraid of?
As a young ghost, he naturally has to look like a young ghost... Ren Tu had told him this a long time ago.

"I hope you won't let me down."

The owner of the embryo tomb sighed softly.

"Don't worry, it won't happen."

Bai Zhe's voice came from behind.

"..."

Liu Bai looked at the two subordinates in front of him. After some conversation, he finally knew their backgrounds and methods.

Mole Cricket comes from the Laurel Palace, and its only talent is that it has no talent.

No matter whether it is ghosts, killing or confusion, everything can reach the level of throne embryo.

For Liu Bai, this is a panacea.

The throne behind the molting ghost belongs to... His Majesty.

Liu Bai was not very clear about the throne behind him, he only knew that the shed skin ghost in front of him was very good at saving his life.

His talent is shedding skin.

If it is defeated, it can shed its skin and run away, so if you really encounter any dangerous work, you can throw it to it.

Overall, Liu Bai was quite satisfied with the two throne embryos arranged by the embryo tomb owner.

They are all useful.

But after the meeting was over, Liu Bai didn't wait for any arrangements. Not only him, but the other evil spirits were also waiting here with their hands rubbed.

As for passing this news back to Zouyin City, Liu Bai had thought about it.

Firstly, they are too far away, and it would be too obvious that they could not catch up in the return trip.

Secondly...if it was really because I didn't pass the message back, resulting in too many casualties among the geniuses in Zouyin City.

Then Liu Bai felt that it didn’t matter whether it was passed on or not.

You can’t pull up a stupid teammate.

……

at the same time.

Go to Yin City and enter the Fire Palace.

All the geniuses in the human race gathered here. Compared to last time, there were more geniuses coming here this time. Except for Liu Bai and Qi Yin whose whereabouts were unknown, all of them came.

Sitting in the main seat was Xu Wenyuan again, but compared to last time, he was much calmer this time.

"There's news from Hei Mu that Liu Bai has gone back to the interior of the country for some business, so we don't have to wait."

Huang Shangguan, who had just walked in, said.

"Well, let's get started."

Xu Wenyuan raised his hand and the doors and windows around him closed.

Huang Shangguan came to the seat on the right and sat down. Opposite him sat the geniuses of Zouyin City, led by Xiao Xuandao.

"In my opinion, there is no need for all these fancy things."

Pijian was the first to speak. He pushed his hands forward and said, "That's it. We just need to press on and kill all the ghosts with one sword."

"Okay, then you go kill the little ghost."

Huang Shangguan on the opposite side said sarcastically.

Seeing that the two groups were about to start arguing as soon as they sat down, Xu Wenyuan interrupted them with a smile.

"As long as Qiyin doesn't move, the little ghost won't move."

"The owner of the embryo tomb has already started to make plans, so if we don't have some countermeasures, we will easily suffer losses."

Xiao Xuandao, who was originally bored, suddenly looked up after hearing this and asked, "Did Lord Chuanhuo hand over the people outside the city to you?"

Xu Wenyuan nodded slightly, "Maybe halfway."

“Remember to be kind to them.”

Xiao Xuandao said this solemnly and lowered his head again.

"Ah."

Xu Wenyuan flicked his right hand lightly and lit a stick of incense. The smoke swirled forward and finally turned into three places in the center of the hall.

"Liancheng Territory, Jumang Mountain and Puluo Lake."

Before he finished speaking, Shangguan Bubai, who was walking on the Yincheng side, touched his chin and said, "Liancheng Territory and Jumang Mountain are both mountains. In addition, the throne that came this time in the taboo is the master of the old water pit. I think it is more likely to fall into the lake."

Hu Shuo on the other side shook his head and said, "Polo Lake is too close to our Zou Yin City. I heard that the owner of the embryo tomb has always been a cautious person and most likely will not take risky actions."

"What if he does the opposite?" asked Guan Zhong, the butler.
"You know the group of thrones in the forbidden area are the most treacherous."

"Then where do you think is more likely?" Huang Shangguan asked.

Cizhong's fingers tapped the table lightly, attracting everyone's attention. "The art of war emphasizes attacking before rescuing. Of the three places mentioned by the young master, the most precious one for our human race is Jumang Mountain, so I think that place is the most likely."

Seeing that there were still a few people who wanted to interrupt, Xu Wenyuan had no choice but to speak again.

If we just keep waiting like this, I don’t know how long it will take.

"In fact, no matter which of these three places the embryo grave owner chooses, we must save them all."

After Xu Wenyuan finished speaking, no one was in a hurry to speak.

Instead, after waiting for a while, Liu Ruzhi said softly, "It's a battle of luck between the two clans. As long as the other party makes a move, we have to take it."

"indeed."

Xu Wenyuan nodded and said, "Miss Liu is talking about our current situation and the crux of the problem."

"Then according to you, Master, where should we go to rescue?"

"It's definitely not possible to separate the three."

Xiao Xuandao, who had originally closed his eyes to rest, spoke again.

What he asked also expressed the thoughts of everyone present, so everyone raised their heads and waited quietly for Xu Wenyuan's answer.

The young teacher of the human race did not hesitate for too long. Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, he said softly:

"Simple, we won't save anyone in any of the three places."

After he finished speaking, he swung his green shirt sleeves, sweeping away the three streams of smoke while taking a step forward. The smoke accumulated from the incense in his hand moved with his body and gathered under his feet to form a wide road.

He just walked forward slowly.

"Once the master of the tomb makes his move, we have to respond. But why should we let them lead us by the nose?"

Xu Wenyuan put his hands behind his back, looked around and said with a smile:

"It's nothing more than four words: attack and you will have to save."

After saying this, he put his hands together and laughed loudly, "Is there anyone here who is afraid of death?"

As soon as he said this, all the Tianjiaos from the Yin City looked gloomy. Ma Chuanshi, who had the worst temper, said in a cold voice:

"This is all human affairs. If you, Xu Wenyuan, want to use this to humiliate me and make me leave Yincheng, then I'll see you outside the city!"

When wearing a sword, he lightly flicks the scabbard in his hand, and the sword makes a soft hum.

"All matters outside the body are just a matter of swords. Tell me, where shall we kill?"

"The eight great families have never known what it is to be afraid of death." Lei Xu also expressed the opinion on behalf of the eight great families, and the others did not interrupt.

"it is good!"

Seeing that everyone's emotions had been aroused and no one had hesitated, Xu Wenyuan finally pulled out his hands and clasped them together.

With a "pop" sound, the magic incense in his hand was suddenly smashed into powder and fell in front of him. The powder of the magic incense piled up into a small hill of old earth, on which dark caves appeared.

"Ghost cave!"

Seeing this scene, Pi Jian spoke subconsciously.

The rest of the people present also recognized this place.

A ghost cave...or to be more precise, it should be called a "ghost den", a den of evil spirits teeming with evil spirits.

This kind of place is usually born on a destroyed Yin meridian.

This Yin Vein cannot be mined out, but should be destroyed along with the Yin Pearl inside the Yin Vein. At that time, the blood and Qi inside were rampant, and the characteristics of the Yin Vein made it full of evil spirits.

When the two are combined, the original Yin meridian becomes a ghost nest.

There are two such ghost dens on the front line where the forbidden race meets the human race. These are all things that are exposed in the open, and you will naturally know them when you walk into Yin City.

"That's a good idea. No matter where the grave owner has set his sights on, we will just focus on the place we like."

Pi Jian thought for a moment, then reacted and said happily.

"Which one should I kill? Or both of them?"

Xiao Xuandao had killed countless evil spirits, but he had never done this before, stabbing into a den of ghosts.

So I am also eager to try and very excited.

Xu Wenyuan reached into the sleeve of his left hand with his right hand, pulled out three talismans, and then said:

"I got three sword talismans from Sword Immortal Yue Fang, so I can only kill in one place..."

As he spoke, he slowly closed his eyes, as if making a final decision.

"Mountain of the Immortal!"

Pi Jian then asked, "Master's sword talisman, Master, do you mean... that we are the only ones going forward and we don't want Senior Xianshen to be the vanguard?"

This ghost cave is the most important taboo, and it is guarded by extremely evil spirits.

If they don't expose the enemy's methods, this group of young people will be committing suicide if they charge forward.

"No, the movement of the god is too obvious, and it will be difficult for us to succeed."

Xu Wenyuan shook his head and said, "Since we are going to do it, then do it decisively."

"Done!!!"

Hu Shuo suddenly shouted, his eyes were bloodshot, and he looked extremely excited.

"That's right. A newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger. We have killed so many evil spirits and it is enough. Why are we afraid of them?"

Ma Chuanshi shouted immediately afterwards.

Under the heated gazes of the crowd, Xu Wenyuan gave one of the three sword talismans to Shi Shanfeng, one to Guan Zhong, and the other to...Hu Shuo.

"Ok?"

His way of dividing immediately puzzled Meng Kuan from the Meng family, who had remained silent the whole time.

Xu Wenyuan explained with a smile: "The small hanging knife and the sword must be the key targets of the forbidden evil spirits. It is very difficult to maximize the effect of the sword talisman given to them."

"Yin, only your little master can be yin!"

Taoci gave him a thumbs up and praised him.

"When will we do it?"

Xiao Xuandao put one hand on the long sword at his waist and asked softly.

These words are still the voice of all the stalkers present. No matter how much they say, in the end they all have to take action and see the real result with their own hands.

So when to take action is crucial.

"Now."

After Xu Wenyuan finished speaking, the doors and windows suddenly opened, and then two pieces of white paper fell into the hands of Xiao Xuandao and Liu Ruzhi respectively.

"The rest of the arrangements are all up there. Look around as you go. Remember... saving your life is the most important thing."

"There is hope only when you are alive."

"it is good!"

The two of them glanced at it and put the white paper away.

All the ghosts in the house turned into streaks of light and flew out. After leaving the house, they went straight to the top of the city.

Xu Wenyuan stayed there without moving, just waiting until everyone had crossed the city wall and left.

He suddenly turned into a paper man and combusted without fire.

The reason why things happened so urgently this time was because he received news that the owner of the embryo tomb had not taken any action yet.

They...landed on Ju Mang, but were held back by the head of the Tao family there.

If he fails to make a successful move right away, then Xu Wenyuan will definitely seize this opportunity.

This is a chess game without rules. Whoever places the piece on the board first will gain the upper hand.

And now...Xu Wenyuan's figure appeared on the top of the city again, leaning on the railing and looking far into the northwest.

It was as if he could see far away in the darkness, and finally land on the owner of the embryo grave.

He only stood there for a short while before the Fire Bearer stepped to his side from the other end of the city wall.

One old and one young, or like one man and one ghost, they were both looking towards the west.

Finally, the Fire Bearer asked casually, "Did you go to see the old marshal last night?"

Xu Wenyuan seemed to have expected this question, so he nodded slightly and said:

"Well, I stopped by and asked the old marshal a few questions."

The Fire Bearer said "Oh" and didn't ask any more questions.

Instead, Xu Wenyuan's mind flashed back to what happened last night.

Because it was not something that happened on the spot. He had been thinking about the problem at home for a long time, but he was still unclear about it. Finally, he stood up and bowed to ask for help from the top of the city.

The old marshal met him.

There was only one question that bothered Xu Wenyuan, and he asked the old marshal.

"Can Liu Bai be trusted?"

The old marshal also thought about it for a long time, and finally said:

"If the time comes when it really comes to an end, you can treat him as your own."

"..."

Under the cover of night, Liu Bai and other evil spirits were rapidly approaching Jumang Mountain.

According to the information given by the owner of the embryo tomb, Taboo has now taken over Jumang Mountain. The head of the Tao family who was guarding there has been driven away, and the remaining thrones and shrines have either died or fled.

Originally, the taboo was only to deal with the manifestation of the gods and the throne, and the remaining shrines were left to these throne embryos.

But when the fight really broke out, the head of the Tao family chose to fight hard, and had no choice but to kill many shrines.

"So we have now taken over this Jumang Mountain without a single drop of blood? Then we can wait for those sneaky people to come to us?"

The mole crickets flapped their wings and moved close to the treetops at an extremely fast speed.

Liu Bai slowed down and followed beside him.

"Haha, then you have to kill a few more people. It would be best if you could kill Xiao Xuandao and Liu Ruzhi as well."

"No, that won't do. The big ones like this will be left to you, the captain. I'll just have to kill some of those bullshitters."

Liu Bai almost laughed out loud when he heard what Mole Cricket said.

I was all wondering why there was no device that could record the words. Otherwise, I could record the words and take them back to let Hu Shuo listen to them.

He would definitely go crazy.

"Captain, wait... wait for me."

The voice of the molting ghost came from behind.

He is good at saving his life, but he is not fast.

Liu Bai had no choice but to slow down again, waiting for him to catch up, while also watching the movements in other directions.

This time, when going to Jumang Mountain, the owner of the embryo tomb arranged several teams to go from several directions.

The purpose was to capture all the shrines that had escaped from Mount Jumang.

After stopping to watch for a while, Liu Bai only noticed the movements of Hongzhuang.

But when he was waiting for the shed skin ghost behind him to catch up, he suddenly felt a slight tremor coming from inside Sumeru.

Human skin.

It was the one left by the owner of the embryo tomb, used to convey messages.

So what’s the news now?

Liu Bai took it out with a thought, and the shed ghost caught up with him at the right time, transforming from a black smoke into its original face, looking quite breathless.

Words appeared on human skin.

[The Immortal Mountain Ghost Cave, go quickly! ]

According to the principle that the fewer words, the bigger the matter, since only these few short words appeared on the human skin, it meant that the situation must have reached a very critical moment.

To the extent that the owner of this embryo tomb no longer cared about Ju Mang Mountain.

Liu Bai had just put away the human skin when he discovered that several black shadows were rising from the dense forest in the distance and heading straight to the northwest.

"Captain, what's going on?"

The molting ghost asked with a look of surprise.

"The situation has changed. It should be that the Yin people are attacking the ghost cave in the Immortal Mountain. Let's go too."

Originally Liu Bai was a little worried about how Xu Wenyuan would respond, but now he saw that not only would Xu Wenyuan respond, but he would also beat the grave owner so hard that he couldn't respond.

This is a bit interesting... Liu Bai didn't rush around recklessly this time. Since they are a team, he has to take care of the molting ghost.

So as he was carrying a ghost with him, his speed naturally slowed down.

Not only that, Liu Bai also let out a sharp long whistle, asking the human-faced drum-faced lady and Hong Zhuang who were not far away to slow down.

Let them be alert around.

To prevent the sneak attack from setting an ambush in advance.

Hong Zhuang, who was originally rushing to get to her destination, actually slowed down a bit after hearing Liu Bai's reminder.

Aunt Kong didn’t.

So it really encountered a ghost who blocked the road...but it was not a genius of the human race, but a white-haired old woman.

The old woman was holding a kerosene lamp in her hand. She suddenly rushed up from the ground, and her life was burned by fire. She immediately knocked away a group of ghosts around Aunt Kong.

Just as she was about to make a second move, a "dong" sound came from Aunt Kong's body.

It was like someone had hit a human-faced drum hard.

The old woman was very close to him and immediately spat out a mouthful of blood. She flew backwards instantly and glared at Liu Bai viciously, cursing:
"You despicable evil spirit! Damn it!"

Obviously, she was complaining that Liu Bai's reminder made her lose the initiative.

But Liu Bai's original intention was to ask Aunt Kong and Hong Zhuang to slow down, so as to buy some time for Xiao Xuandao and the others... The thought flashed through his mind, and then he looked at the fleeing shrine.

Liu Bai was thinking whether he should take action and expose a flaw to allow the other party to escape.

But at this moment, a single foot suddenly appeared beside the old woman and kicked her hard on the forehead.

Appearing out of nowhere, without any strange signs.

The old woman didn't even have the chance to react. Her body just paused for a moment, and then her head exploded like a watermelon.

His soul instantly escaped and flew straight into the sky.

However, a muffled sound came from the human-faced drum again.

The soul that was about to fly into the clouds exploded again and turned into a dazzling firework above the sky.

A shrine was killed so cleanly and neatly.

Liu Bai didn't even have the chance to help.

After this little incident, even Aunt Kong slowed down and became wary of the dense forest beneath her feet.

This shrine is fine, but if a throne suddenly appears... then this throne embryo will not be able to withstand it.

So the three teams hurried towards the Immortal Mountain in the northwest direction.

……

at the same time.

In front of the ghost cave on the Immortal Mountain, a sword light that reached the sky and the earth appeared. With just this one sword light, it almost split the entire Immortal Mountain in half.

Even the fierce evil spirit in the air turned into a bloody rain of Yin beads and scattered across the world.

In the dense forest, Hu Shuo, with his left hand hanging down, saw this and roared angrily to the sky.

"Cool!!!"

"Haha, I wish I could have this strength someday."

Before he finished speaking, Huang Shangguan, who was intact, stepped out of the dense forest behind him, grabbed him by the collar, and rushed into the ghostly caves halfway up the mountain.

"Stop nagging me, let's solve this problem first!"

"Otherwise, when those throne embryos come over, it will be even more difficult to deal with them."

By the time Huang Shangguan and he arrived in front of one of the caves, bursts of knife and sword energy were already coming from inside.

Xiao Xuandao and Pijian, who were the first to enter, had already started killing people inside.

"Help me protect the law."

After Huang Shangguan finished speaking, he immediately closed his eyes, and his whole body immediately fell into a daze, even his body was shaking.

Just like a drunkard.

Hu Shuo also knew the seriousness of the matter, and immediately summoned his corpse to stand beside the guard.

Instead of killing the others by yourself, it is better to protect Huang Shangguan so that he can kill ghosts in his dreams.

A mysterious wave spread out, and Hu Shuo felt a little sleepy, but he soon woke up.

Huang Shangguan's dream butterfly technique skipped him, but the other evil spirits that were covered were not so lucky.

After half an incense stick of time had passed, Huang Shangguan, who had originally closed his eyes, suddenly groaned.

Then, all the evil spirits in this half of the ghost cave instantly turned into Yin beads and scattered on the ground.

Huang Shangguan also woke up suddenly, gasping for breath, his clothes instantly soaked with sweat.

The whole person looked like he was fished out of the water.

"It's okay, brother is here."

Hu Shuo quickly comforted him.

Huang Shangguan rolled his eyes at him, sat down and started swallowing the Yin Pearl.

Just at this moment, the sound of thunder suddenly rang out outside, and at the same time, rumbling thunder was heard from the sky.

"Old cat monkey, huh? I've been waiting for you for a long time."
