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

Chapter 308 Demigod! [Seeking monthly votes]

Liu Bai didn't even know how he gave the order. He just said it.

Then Zhang Cang said something.

"Let's do it."

Now that the fight has begun, there is nothing much to see in the Chuanhuo Mansion. If you want to see something, you have to go to the top of the city wall.

Moreover, if this being at the level of enlightenment took action, even if Liu Bai wanted to participate.

That's all out of power.

Therefore, in this revenge and assassination, he could only be a bystander, or as Zhang Cang said, a promoter and decision maker.

Waiting for him to arrive at the top of the city wall with a thought.

Zhang Cang also followed, but this time he was no longer wearing the fiery red robe. He took it off and put on his original clothes.

Only Liu Bai was still wearing the fiery red robe that symbolized the Fire Bearer.

With his young body, he deliberately floated through the crowd on the city wall. Wherever he passed, those ghost walkers who saw his appearance were all surprised.

After all, they were not unfamiliar with the clothes on Liu Bai, on the contrary, they were very familiar with them.

They were also very familiar with the person in front of them.

But the way this person looked in these clothes made them feel very strange.

But when they thought of the old marshal's words, some people bowed and saluted Liu Bai as he floated over.

"Meet Lord Chuanhuo."

The others followed suit.

Even if many people don't say it, they still find it difficult to accept in their hearts that a half-grown boy should be the fire bearer.

But on second thought, this Young Master Liu could also become tall.

But the face after he grew taller...is not as good as the one in front of me.

At least this is still a person.

"How does it feel?"

Perhaps Heimu received Zhang Cang's message and came to Liu Bai. Seeing his young master in such a state, he couldn't help but asked with a smile.

"I feel nothing."

Liu Bai shook the sleeves of the Firebringer and said, "From now on, don't call me Master. Call me Firebringer instead."

Hei Mu bowed tactfully and said, "Greetings, Lord Chuan Huo."

Xiaocao poked his head out and rolled his eyes.

"You black wood, you are so polite."

After the man and the two ghosts finished joking, they looked towards the west.

Liu Bai was not tall, so he could only float in the air in the middle, with Hei Mu and Zhang Cang standing on his left and right.

There is an old marshal watching over from a distance.

Being on the top of the city wall seems dangerous, but to Liu Bai, it is not much different from the safest place in the world.

"Not many people know about this, right?"

Liu Bai asked Zhang Cang.

"I can guess a lot, but I don't know much." Zhang Cang replied with a smile.

The fire bearer died in Zou Yin City. Not to mention the people in the city, even the evil spirits in Yangguan and even in Taboo knew that Zou Yin City would take revenge.

But how and when to retaliate specifically.

But no one knows.

Just like at this moment, Liu Bai could see Zhang Cang and Hei Mu standing here, but in the eyes of others, this was just an empty city wall.

Not to mention seeing people, I couldn't even hear their voices.

After hearing what the two said, Hei Mu had some ideas.

"Are you going to do it now?"

"Well, Lord Chuanhuo has given the order, and we, his subordinates, dare not disobey." Zhang Cang said with emotion, stroking his beard on his chin.

Xiao Cao said nothing, jumped onto Zhang Cang and performed a set of turtle punches on his head.

"You clearly said it, and you're still blaming me, young master! Take this punch from your sister!"

Liu Bai smiled and didn't call Xiaocao back, but then Zhang Cang's voice rang in his ears again.

"Master Chuanhuo, do you still remember what I said about first deceiving and then killing?"

Liu Bai nodded calmly.

How could I not remember what I just said?

Zhang Cang said again: "This is just a lie... Actually, the lie has already been completed."

Liu Bai was stunned for a moment, then turned his head away abruptly, "You mean... you cheated me too?"

Zhang Cang nodded slowly, then gave a bitter smile.

"You can't blame me for this. If you want to blame someone, blame the old marshal. He was the one who came up with the idea. He said that only by deceiving oneself can one deceive others... Oh, please spare my life, Marshal. It was my idea."

Zhang Cang was halfway through his words when his face suddenly turned pale, and he even showed some signs of shrinking back.

Naturally, he couldn't tolerate someone talking about the old marshal to his face.

However, Liu Bai, who was staring at Zhang Cang the whole time, saw something different in the meaning, because Zhang Cang was begging for mercy and shrinking his head.

His facial features, or rather his head, were constantly changing.

As it swayed left and right, the faces of many people appeared.

But as the old marshal stopped, those complicated faces disappeared, and Zhang Cang's appearance also settled down, but... it was not his original appearance.

What now appeared on his face was the appearance of a young woman.

Liu Bai had never seen this before and was a little surprised.

Even Hei Mu looked at Zhang Cang in surprise.

The old eunuch realized what was happening belatedly and shook his head again. The woman's face disappeared and he returned to his original appearance.

"Hey, little problem, little problem."

Zhang Cang tried to hide his embarrassment with a smile, and then quickly changed the subject.

"In fact, those who have not seen the Dao now have already left the city."

After Zhang Cang finished speaking, he folded his sleeves and looked at the boundless taboos in front of him.

The proof of the truth that I haven’t seen... Liu Bai’s mind concentrated, this is a lot!
The four who had already been selected were the Xuandao official, Meng Taichong, Yue Fang, and Yuan Chen, in addition to Xu Maogong, Shangguan Fengyue and others.

Even Liu Bai's senior sister went with them.

This is not an assassination at all, it's clearly a murder by force!

As soon as Liu Bai finished his thought, an extremely strong energy wave came from the forbidden direction, and he turned around suddenly to look.

I saw a sword and a knife, and two vast sword lights and shadows were slashing down from the sky.

The two of them crossed and slashed to the left and right.

The protective magic circle of Zou Yin City was suddenly opened by the old marshal. While blocking this astonishing aura, countless Zou Yin people in the city rushed towards the top of the city.

"Let's go to Yincheng. Do you want to have a decisive battle?"

In the taboo, under the flashing of swords and shadows, the painful roar of the old water ghost was heard.

But no one answered.

The only answer he got was a stronger offensive.

Faintly, there were blood-red roads looming across the entire sky.

Thunderous sounds resounded through the sky.

As the dark clouds rolled, purple lightning flashed continuously, like a doomsday scene.

Liu Bai was also in this turbulent sea and saw that the old water ghost and the swing ghost were trapped in their true forms.

The surging ghost energy was rolling, especially the old water ghost. The old puddle it created was even more powerful, forcing back Shi Zhuojun and Shangguan Fengyue who were approaching one after another.

The only one was a witch with colorful paint on her face, like she was wearing a Nuo ghost mask.

And it can keep getting closer.

On the other side, the swing ghost revealed its true form, and the dead laurel tree on which it was hanging was also propped up.

Above the osmanthus tree, there seemed to be a faint presence of a big moon.

The moonlight emitted by the big moon was able to actually dissolve the sword energy emitted by Yue Fang.

"It really is a bit tricky."

Hei Mu's eyes kept moving. As a fellow practitioner of the Tao, he could see more.

"Without any skills, how could you be sent here?"

As Zhang Cang spoke, his eyes suddenly fixed.

Then Liu Bai saw an extremely dazzling white light appear on the battlefield in front of him, in the boundless taboo.

Its light was so hot that it looked like the sun suddenly falling to the earth and burning in the wilderness.

Even Liu Bai closed his eyes subconsciously, but even so, his eyes were still burning hot and tears were flowing out.

Even he was like this, let alone the others who were watching the show and walking away.

Many of them screamed and retreated, covering their faces and lowering their heads.

"Yuanchen has taken action."

Hei Mu's reassuring voice rang in Liu Bai's ears. He opened his eyes again and realized that he had been protected by someone. He was also able to see the true face in the distance.

I saw that the place where the brilliant light burst out before was actually the trunk of the osmanthus tree.

At this time, the osmanthus tree, which had already died, was cut in half by a sword, and the tall osmanthus tree fell down.

The swing ghost sitting on the swing also screamed.

The swing stopped moving.

Liu Bai couldn't see where the swing ghost went.

He only saw that in the depths of the forbidden area, there were thrones looming, carrying with them endless ghosts, and coming in an overwhelming manner.

However, he was blocked outside by two people who had attained the Dao, Meng Taichong and Ma Dingguo.

There seemed to be a lot of thrones coming, and even if these two Buddhas of enlightenment manifested their true forms, they were still beaten back.

Then Shi Zhuojun and Shangguan Fengyue also went to meet them.

The officer with a sword hanging from his hand and Yue Fang, who were walking above the clouds in the sky, also attacked one after another.

With Yuan Chen's move of breaking the osmanthus tree, the swing ghost was basically powerless to recover.

But the old water ghost relied on the power of the old water pit and fought stubbornly.

Although it would inevitably die if it continued, it was now on the verge of life and death. The longer it delayed, the more accidents would occur.

"Master Chuanhuo, do you have the old water ghost's token on you? Can you lend it to me? I will help them for a while."

Zhang Cang's voice rang in Liu Bai's ears.

"Have."

Liu Bai did not hesitate and immediately took out the small piece of rag given to him by the old water ghost.

Zhang Cang took it without touching it with his hands. He just held it in the air with his left hand, and with his right hand, he put his index and middle fingers together and scribbled on it in the air above the rag, as if he was drawing a talisman.

As Zhang Cang's fingers turned faster and faster, a golden miniature magic circle seemed to appear on the piece of rag, with circles inside and outside, spinning rapidly as golden light flowed.

Liu Bai was close enough to hear what Zhang Cang said.

I just heard him mutter softly.

"I observed the sky at night and saw that you would die here today."

Immediately, he raised his right hand high, and his whole body became extremely solemn.

This was the first time that Liu Bai saw Zhang Cang with such an expression. In the past, he always looked kind and had a smile on his face from time to time.

But now... he was like a strict private school teacher who saw his students playing around in class.

A similar miniature magic circle appeared in the palm of his raised right hand, also emitting golden light.

"Give me... the town!"

The loud sound is brilliant.

Zhang Cang's right hand slammed hard on the piece of cloth on his left hand. As the two golden magic circles collided, golden light flashed wildly.

Then, a huge golden handprint appeared above the old water ghost in the depths of the taboo, as high as a mountain.

It covered the sky and the sun, and hit the old water ghost's real body heavily.

"boom--"

A loud sound loud enough to resound throughout the entire taboo sounded, and the old water ghost who had originally held his head high was slammed heavily to the ground.

The golden handprint dissolved and turned into wisps of golden flames, burning above the entire old puddle.

The sewage at the bottom of the old puddle was like adding fuel to the fire, helping the golden flames burn more vigorously.

But at this moment, the huge old puddle collapsed instantly.

The officer with the hanging sword and Yue Fang who were walking on the sky curtain attacked together.

A knife.

A sword.

Cut down from the sky.

The two dazzling sword lights fell directly on the old water ghost's head, and then split his body into four.

It was struggling just now, but in an instant it was unable to move.

The countless black clouds rolling above the sky also instantly turned into blood-red clouds, accumulating in the air.

If you listen carefully, you can hear the sound of a throne collapsing in the blood cloud. Many Dao-proving beings took action and finally killed a throne, the old master of the water pit.

Among the many forbidden thrones, they are all famous.

On the other side, Xu Maogong, who had never taken any action, finally showed up. He appeared out of nowhere on the top of a hill.

The body he manifested was huge, as tall as a hill.

He was wearing a loose gray robe and holding a pine stick in both hands, with a string of copper coins tied to the front of the stick.

At this moment, he held out the pine stick as if he was fishing, and the copper coin at the front end was like bait.

Fishing in the valley.

He held the pine stick with both hands, and it kept shaking as if there was some big fish in the valley.

But in the blink of an eye, he suddenly lifted up the pine stick that he was holding with both hands.

I saw that the copper coin in the front seemed to be stuck with something, and upon closer inspection, it seemed to be a young boy.

The copper coin was stuck to his forehead and no matter how he struggled, he couldn't get it free.

Seeing this, Xu Maogong was like a petty thief who took the benefits and ran away.

He put away the Dharma image, stuffed the pine stick and copper coins into his clothes, and shouted, "The wind is strong, hurry up!"

Immediately, the figure flew straight towards Zouyin City.

The remaining officers with swords and Yue Fang also drew their swords and sabers again, and the flashes of swords and sabers penetrated into the depths of the forbidden zone, beheading the evil spirits on the throne as they retreated.

This would also allow Meng Taichong, Ma Dingguo and others to withdraw.

The witch collected those good things at the place where the old water ghost fell, and then all the ghosts attacked again in tacit understanding.

For a moment, even the void seemed to be destroyed.

Pitch-black cracks grew wildly, and a huge suction force came from them, swallowing the towering ancient trees on the ground, as well as many evil spirits that had not escaped, into the cracks.

The evil spirits on the throne had to temporarily avoid the attack and dared not cross it rashly.

Even if there are one or two of them who can make it through, if only one or two of them can make it through, then what is the difference between the old water ghost and the swing ghost who passed by earlier?
Not all of them are seeking death.

Therefore, these evil throne spirits that came out from the depths of the taboo could only watch these ghost people return to the city.

Standing on the top of the city wall, looking back at the taboos.

This time, all the proofs of Yin City were revealed, and it was the first time that Liu Bai had seen such a scene.

Liu Bai himself was not far from the old marshal, and those who had returned from the forbidden battles also landed near the old marshal.

So it is extremely convenient to look at it.

Among these people, the most seriously injured were Meng Taichong and Ma Dingguo who went to stop the thrones from rushing out from the depths of the forbidden area.

Both men had wounds all over their chests and backs.

Some of them looked like they were cut by a knife or an axe, some looked like they were bitten by a person's mouth, and some looked like they were scratched by a woman's long fingernails when he was quarreling with her.

It looks serious, but they are just superficial injuries.

With this strength of proving the Tao, Liu Bai estimated that he should be able to recover within five or six days.

The rest of the people who had escaped from the underworld were not seriously injured.

For example, Xuandaoguan and Yue Fang, both of them had never come down from Tianmu, and apart from some heavy injuries, they had no injuries at all.

The only ones were Shangguan Fengyue and Shi Zhuojun, and they both stepped into the old puddle.

So there was some dirty water on the hem of the skirt, which was constantly corroding the dress, but after the two of them lit the life fire, the dirty water that seemed like living things was suppressed.

The person closest to Liu Bai was Yuan Chen, one of the ten ghost walkers who had killed the evil spirit on the throne once before and erected a statue of him in the temple. This time, he also cut down the swing ghost laurel tree in one fell swoop...

He was of medium build, with his hair tied up behind his head, and a very ordinary face, the kind that others would never be able to remember after taking one look at it.

This type of person is also the most suitable candidate for assassination.

There are many people in the Blood God Cult who look like this.

And he looked a little... embarrassed?
After being stared at a few more times by Liu Bai, he felt a little uneasy, and even stepped back a little, and finally whispered:
"Meet Lord Chuanhuo."

It was the first time that Liu Bai had seen someone with such social phobia, and the other party was a ghost walker who could kill the evil spirit on the throne.

Why do I feel... somehow cute?

Seeing this, Liu Bai nodded at him, "You are too polite, senior."

"The rightful owner has arrived."

Zhang Cang's voice suddenly sounded, and Liu Bai also looked back, only to see that the crack deep in the taboo had already healed.

In front of the rolling black clouds, a throne made of bones suddenly appeared.

And on the throne, sat an evil spirit.

The shroud was wrapped around a skeleton with a human head on top, which looked very strange.

But it happened that this strange evil spirit on the throne was called Man-Slayer, the real master of the mass grave and the master of the owner of this embryo grave.

He was also the mastermind behind the assassination of the previous Fire Bearer.

"But the old eunuch is here in the Yin City? Such cruel means are rarely seen in the world."

The butcher sat on the throne and spoke with a smile.

It seemed that the two dead and injured thrones had nothing to do with him.

The other party had already pointed out the names, so Zhang Cang beside Liu Bai had no choice but to float up, but he did not leave the magic circle. Instead, he stayed outside the magic circle and spoke to the butcher:

"Each each other."

"What a pity, I just collected some interest. How about you come over here and kill some too?"

The butcher's bony hands gently tapped the armrests of the throne and said with a smile:

"The bones are too hard. I'm afraid that a toothless old man like you can't chew them."

"Yes, there is not a pound of flesh on the body."

Zhang Cang couldn't help laughing as he continued speaking.

As if a sore spot had been touched, Ren Tu sneered, "Remember to celebrate the seventh day of the death of the Fire Bearer. Today's vengeance will be avenged one day."

"He has a lot of skin left in him, so he's more straightforward than anyone else when it comes to making harsh remarks."

It seems that Zhang Cang's verbal skills are invincible. At least, he will not suffer any loss at the hands of this butcher.

The butcher sneered and stopped arguing with him.

It's like... I really took this loss?
He was about to lead all the kings and leave, but he seemed to remember something and turned back to look at the top of the city.

At this moment, his gaze seemed to penetrate a great distance and landed accurately on Liu Bai, and then he chuckled and said:
"I haven't had time to congratulate Master Liu on becoming the Lord of Fire."

"Don't worry, Master Liu. What we discussed last time... still counts."

For a moment, Ren Tu's words instantly pushed Liu Bai to the forefront, and the eyes of many people present were all on Liu Bai.

What does Ren Tu mean by this?
It was clearly saying that Liu Bai had some kind of deal with him. As for what the deal was, only the two of them knew.

But what is certain is that this is a deal between two evil spirits.

Moreover, it was Liu Bai, the new Fire Bearer, who was behind the transaction between Zou Yincheng and Ren Tu.

And it just so happened that Liu Bai had secretly gone to the forbidden area by walking through Yin City.

He even fought with Liu Ruzhi in his evil body on the Immortal Mountain.

In this case, if this is true, it would be like yellow mud falling down the crotch of your pants, it would be shit if not shit.

But... Liu Bai really didn't feel anything about what Ren Tu said.

Liu Bai is here, but he is not begging for the position of Fire Bearer in Zou Yin City.

On the contrary, it was this Zou Yin City that was begging him.

So Liu Bai was too lazy to even explain. Seeing that the thrones were about to leave, Zhang Cang, who was floating in the air, smiled again and said:
"I won't say anything else. I'd like to thank Brother Ren Tu for the two great gifts. I'm sure that after we return, the two dragons in the Weeping Sang River and the Palace Master of the Laurel Palace will be very grateful to you."

The butcher paused, sneered again, and disappeared in the rolling black cloud.

At this moment, the blood clouds floating in the sky and the haze covering the sky above Zouyin City began to slowly dissipate.

This also means that the death of the previous Fire Bearer has finally come to an end.

At this moment, Zhang Cang, who was floating in the air, turned around, looked at the people walking around the city, and said with a smile:
"Is there really anyone who believes what Ren Tu said?"

The sound was not loud, but it drowned out all the other sounds on the city wall.

And the news spread throughout the entire Zouyin City.

The crowd was quiet for a moment, and then the loud laughter of an unknown ghost was heard from the southern city wall.

"Anyone who believes this is a fool."

"Did Lord Chuanhuo really reach a deal with Ren Tu? Would Ren Tu be so stupid as to say it out loud in public?"

Then another voice in the city responded.

"You just want to take this opportunity to disgust Lord Chuanhuo, and you want to create conflicts among us."

Then there was another sound of a woman's laughter.

"Don't worry, Master Jianzheng. We, the Yin Walkers in Yin City, are not that stupid."

"Bullshit, we, the sneak killers in the pass, are even less stupid!"

"..."

If Liu Bai could still recognize the first voice as Adao's, then he had no idea who the people who spoke later were.

Anyway, at first people were still talking about how no one believed Ren Tu's lies.

I don't believe this nonsense.

But later on, it turned into a quarrel between people inside and outside the Great Wall.

Liu Bai didn't understand these people who were proving the truth on the city wall at first, but he felt that they should be different from ordinary people. At least they should have their own face... But Liu Bai soon realized that he was overthinking.

The treasures obtained after killing the old water ghost were fine. They fell into the hands of the witch. Seeing that there was nothing wrong, she took them out and distributed them to the other few witnesses.

Everyone picked out what was useful to them.

It's like a guard with a sword hanging on his head. If he doesn't see what he needs, he just gives it up.

But the other swing ghost is not like that.

As a throne, its original body was not actually killed, but was lured back by Xu Maogong through some unknown means.

I guess it has other uses.

For Xu Maogong, this must be of great use.

Therefore, the Xuandao official and Meng Taichong and others who were traveling with him all clamored for him to take out some good things.

Xu Maogong, the half-Taoist holding the pine wood stick, was reluctant to give it up and said that he had obtained it through his own ability and refused to give it to him.

If the argument continued, Xu Maogong would ask Zhang Cang to judge the case.

But everyone knew that Zhang Cang and Xu Maogong had a very good relationship, so naturally everyone disagreed.

After much bargaining, Xu Maogong finally agreed to give everyone a benefit, and then left with a sigh.

But when he left, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.

No matter how you look at it, it's a great deal.

"Lord Chuanhuo, let's go back too." Zhang Cang landed and returned to Liu Bai.

"it is good."

As the thought flashed through their minds, the two men on the top of the city wall returned to Chuanhuo Mansion.

It was only at this point that Zhang Cang could not help but stroke his beard and said with a smile: "That old fellow got a great advantage this time."

"The Supervisor is referring to...Senior Xu?"

"Well, that old guy got the body of the swing ghost. As long as a year or so passes and he refines it into a little ghost, his strength will definitely leap to the forefront of this Zou Yin City. By then, he will probably be able to erect a statue in the temple."

Zhang Cang seemed very satisfied.

This made Liu Bai feel... something seemed to be wrong.

A fire bearer had just died. This was a big deal not only for Zouyin City, but also for the entire human race.

Just as Liu Bai thought, killing the old water ghost and the swing ghost could definitely only be considered as collecting interest.

In comparison, the human race still suffered a great loss.

But looking at Zhang Cang's expression, not only was there no sadness at all, but it looked like he had gotten a great advantage... This made Liu Bai have to think more.

As the other Fire Emissaries had not returned, Liu Bai took the opportunity to ask:
"Jian Zheng, what you mean is... that this old water ghost and the swing ghost were actually pushed here by the butcher for us to kill?"

After hearing this question, the expression on Zhang Cang's face became less relaxed.

He answered the question irrelevantly and said, "Master Chuanhuo told me last time that the arrangement of the taboo against the Old Water Pit and the Weeping Sorrow River was intended to combine the two into one, thus creating two extremely powerful throne evil spirits."

"Not really. That's not the case. The combined water luck of the two is only enough to create a ghost on the other side."

Liu Bai grasped the key point of Zhang Cang's words.

"The other side of the river?"

"Yes." Zhang Cang swung his sleeves and came to sit down at Liu Bai's position. "The butcher in the taboo, the old temple keeper, and even... Liu Wudi, are actually the evil spirits of the other shore."

"They are evil spirits that have already ascended to the other side."

"I can confirm that the butcher is this other shore demon, but the old temple keeper and your mother... their realm should have a higher name."

"That title has nothing to do with ghosts or evil spirits, just like the old marshal sitting on the top of the city."

"What is it?"

Liu Bai's mind had been caught, and he couldn't help but ask quickly.

Xiaocao immediately shouted, "Xiaocao knows it too, Xiaocao knows it!"

But Zhang Cang did not give Xiaocao this chance. He took a deep breath and slowly uttered two words.

"Demigod."
