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

Chapter 314: Long time no see...Stranger [asking for monthly ticket]

The sound in my ears only lasted for a moment, and was soon filled with a burst of noisy sounds.

People say that tasting the mouth expresses joy, and words are endless.

The old marshal removed the ban and made a sound, and Liu Bai suddenly realized that before he turned around, Heimu was already behind him.

"Congratulations, sir. Congratulations, sir."

Soon after, Shi Zhuojun also came with a wisp of fragrant breeze.

"Congratulations, young master, for casting the shrine."

After that, more people came, including the geniuses from Yin City, A Dao and the geniuses from inside the pass, and even Qi Yin showed up, although he just bowed to express his congratulations from afar.

As for the old marshal... after seeing Liu Bai build the shrine, he closed his eyes again and sat on the top of the city wall.

It seemed as if everything around him had nothing to do with him.

Seeing that there were still many people coming, Liu Bai felt embarrassed to disturb the old marshal's meditation, so he quickly bowed to him, and then dispersed the shrine with a thought.

Although he knew that there were secrets hidden within his temple, this was obviously not the right time to investigate.

I still have to get rid of these people first.

Liu Bai took a step forward and came to the open space outside the city wall. He bowed to the people around him and said, "Today I, Liu Bai, have built the shrine, and I am grateful for your help."

"Well, today I will host you. Anyone who comes here can go to the old drunkard's tavern and ask for a drink. The bill will be on my head, Liu Bai!"

Once a word is spoken, it spreads far and wide.

An old man with rosacea who was hiding on the outskirts of the crowd eating melons felt a chill down his spine when he heard this.

I thought to myself, “Not good!”

Then he heard the noise of people around him.

"Well, Lord Chuanhuo is generous!"

"This wedding banquet is a bit early, Mr. Liu."

"Go quickly, go quickly, Lord Huo is treating us, we must give him this honor!"

"..."

Before the old drunkard went home, he had already seen people from all directions rushing towards his shop.

There were even some thieves who had just come out of their homes and hadn't even come to the top of the city to congratulate, but just after hearing the voice, they went back to their shops.

The old drunkard could already imagine how thin he would become after this incident!

If this is really a business, then it's fine. I can just buy some good things to replenish my body and go back, and I can even make a lot of money.

But... do I dare to accept Mr. Liu's money?
I'm really not afraid of having the life to collect it but not the life to use it!
The old drunkard sighed to the sky and said alas. He had to go back first. If he didn't go back now, his shop would probably be demolished.

On the top of the city wall, Liu Bai walked towards Heimu's yard step by step. Along the way, many Yin people came forward to congratulate him.

Either cooked or raw.

But everyone likes to show up and congratulate.

So Liu Bai walked all the way back to Hei Mu's yard from the top of the city wall amid everyone's congratulations.

The crowd of people who came to congratulate him followed along the way.

Until Liu Bai fell down, Heimu held up a magic circle in the house that covered everything.

In the eyes of others, the yard became gray, and as a result, those people gradually dispersed.

In the yard, Liu Bai looked up at these people dispersing, and his originally relaxed expression gradually became calm.

"Sir, is there a problem?"

Hei Mu was a little surprised when he saw this.

The shrine cast by Liu Bai is very grand, with the words "man", "ghost" and "god" written by himself.

One-word couplet, still the same situation.

It is no exaggeration to say that he is the greatest person in eternity.

At least Kuroki was familiar with history books and had never found a similar person in the past.

This is unprecedented and will most likely never be repeated.

But why is it that such a great thing happened to Liu Bai, and he still looks a little sad?
Could it be that this situation and this atmosphere still cannot satisfy him?

It can't be that bad.

"A little, but not much."

Liu Bai said as he walked towards his room, looking as if he wanted to be alone first. When he reached the door of his room, he said, "After daybreak, I will go to the city to ask the old marshal."

"Okay, I'll go with you then."

Hei Mu nodded, and Liu Bai closed the door.

Inside the house, Xiao Cao hurriedly asked, "Master, what happened?"

"This shrine is being built. Shouldn't this be a happy occasion? Why are you so unhappy now?"

Xiaocao jumped down from behind Liu Bai, squatted on the table, looked up at her master with worried eyes.

"When we were on the top of the city just now, didn't you hear any sound coming from my shrine... from the temple?"

Liu Bai asked curiously.

"Is there a sound in the temple?"

Xiao Cao stared with his ignorant eyes, "Xiao Cao, I didn't hear anything. How could there be any sound in the temple? Sir, are you saying that there is someone hiding in your temple?"

"How can this be!"

“This is your shrine and temple!”

Xiao Cao stood up immediately and said, "Why don't we go back and ask the Queen and ask Zhang Cang to take us back? He's very fast and should be here in a day."

In the world of grass, even if the sky falls, the goddess is there to support it.

Now that Liu Bai is in trouble, the quickest thing for him to do is to go back to find the Empress.

"Not urgent."

Liu Bai raised his right hand and stopped Xiao Cao.

He recalled the voice he had heard before. It was not urgent, nor did it sound malicious. Instead, it seemed as if the voice was begging him to come in and see it.

Besides, this thing appeared in one's own shrine or temple.

In my own home court, how can I still be cowardly or afraid?

There is nothing to be afraid of.

So Liu Bai planned to wait until most of the people on the city wall had dispersed before going there again. As long as he entered the temple in front of the old temple priest, even if something really happened, he might be able to help him?
Liu Bai stroked his chin in thought.

This happened right after the shrine was cast. I don’t know whether it is a good thing or a bad thing?
"By the way, Xiaocao, did this happen when my mother was casting the shrine?" Liu Bai asked curiously.

If my mother was like that at the time, then it would be much easier to explain. It's probably just genetics, right?
But I think it is probably not the case. If it were, Xiaocao wouldn't have been so surprised just now.

"No, when the queen was casting the shrine, it was just so ordinary." Xiao Cao recalled and said, "It was not as weird as you, young master."

"What are the words on the couplet for my mother's shrine?"

Liu Bai couldn't help but be curious about this.

There was a hint of fighting spirit in his heart, but no matter what, he was definitely not as good as the other. Liu Bai knew that this one-word couplet was unprecedented.

"The queen's couplet has three characters. The queen's talent is not that good, but she is very lucky."

For once, Xiaocao actually commented on Madam Liu's practice.

After hearing this, Liu Bai just laughed. Liu Qingyi has no talent?
I guess only Xiaocao can say this. Well, after returning home, she can tell her mother about Xiaocao. Anyway, Xiaocao has done this kind of thing many times.

I resisted the urge to summon the shrine right now and push the door open to take a look.

There was still some time before dawn, so Liu Bai lay down on the bed with his clothes on and called out the panel he had not seen for a long time.

[Name: Liu Bai]

[Identity: Human]

[Realm: Shrine]

[Qi and blood: 205.1]

【Spirituality: 206.3】

[Attribute points: 0]

[Evaluation: The gods sit high in the shrine, and the light of the gods shines upon all evil. You who have built the shrine have a little qualification to aspire to the highest position. After all, having a shrine means you have a place to stay, and are no longer a wanderer in this world.]

All the attribute points were added, and the realm finally changed from the previous primordial spirit to the shrine.

Of course, the more important thing is that the evaluation has also changed.

"So, by building a shrine, one is qualified to aspire to the highest position?"

"With a shrine there is a residence. The shrine is the residence. This is a world where everyone can become a god."

"If you walk in the dark and in the dark, you can become a god in the end."

Liu Bai, who had a lot of experience with this, had a clear idea in his mind after reading this.

Seeing Liu Bai was lost in thought, Xiaocao did not disturb him.

After all, it is just a small ghost, with little influence, what can it do?

Not long after, Liu Bai was also vaguely aware that the sky was getting brighter, and wisps of light were coming in from the window, while at that time, it was still quiet outside.

When he came out, Hei Mu was sitting in his old seat waiting, but there was already a hot breakfast on the table.

"Would you still do this?"

Liu Bai was surprised to see this.

I've lived in Hei Mu's place for so long, but I've never seen him cook.

"No, Zhu Sha came here overnight to do it. He just left now, saying that he had made an appointment with a few evil spirits to go to the Shiwandashan Mountains again."

Kuroki explained with a smile.

"Oh, her."

Liu Bai felt warm in his heart when he heard this.

Liu Bai was not very worried about Zhu Sha's safety. She was not alone in Zou Yin City. Madam Wen, the maid of her master Tao Hua Xian, worked under Liu Bai.

Now, Madam Wen is the accountant of the entire Zouyin City, so it’s no big deal for her to have a few people to help look after things.

The matter was urgent, so Liu Bai hurriedly finished his breakfast and went to the top of the city wall again with Hei Mu.

Came before the old marshal.

At that time, there were only a few people on the city wall, which was no longer as grand as last night.

The old marshal seemed to have known that Liu Bai was coming. He had already stood up and stood by the city wall, staring at the yellow sand outside the western border in a daze.

"Meet the old marshal."

Liu Bai and Hei Mu both greeted him.

Hei Mu left again immediately afterwards, which was very tactful.

The old marshal put his hands behind his back and looked back at Liu Bai, as if he had expected him to come.

"Master Chuan Huo, there is no need to be polite."

Liu Bai was about to speak, but the old marshal interrupted him and said, "Push the door and go in and you will know."

"Ok?"

Liu Bai asked in surprise: "Old Marshal, did you also hear that sound?"

"What sound? I didn't hear it."

"Then how did you..."

"Your shrine has its own temple, and the door is closed. You probably want to go in and take a look."

The old marshal returned to his usual seat and said, "Go ahead. I'll help you watch over here."

This was the first time the old marshal spoke in a somewhat urgent manner. This matter... even he was a little curious.

The shrine is connected to the temple, and there seems to be something inside the temple.

Even the old marshal, who had lived a long life, had never heard of or seen such a thing. How could he not be curious?
"it is good."

Liu Bai came here originally to solve this matter. When he heard what the old marshal said, he did not hesitate. His mind moved, and the shrine... appeared.

He stood on the top of the city, and behind him, in the empty space, a shadow of a shrine suddenly appeared. At first, it was very faint and far away.

But in just a moment, the shrine changed from illusory to solid.

A temple emitting golden light stood behind Liu Bai, and on its porch door were words written by the owner.

The three words "human, ghost and god"!
Passing through the corridor door, you will see the temple with its doors tightly closed.

At this time and in this peaceful period, the sudden appearance of a shrine on the top of the city is still very eye-catching. In addition, this shrine is so special that those who notice it can recognize at a glance who the shrine belongs to.

Liu Bai also noticed that many people were coming over, but he was too lazy to care at the moment.

His figure floated up from the top of the city.

In a flash he arrived at the door of the porch. He looked at the three big words he had written last night, then stepped on the empty air and took a step forward.

When you return to your own temple, you should go through the main gate.

But the moment he stepped through the corridor door, he felt as if he had passed through a layer of light curtain and came to another world.

The noise in my ears completely disappeared, and all that was left was heavenly music.

The sound of Buddhist chants and the cries of cranes made Liu Bai think for a moment that he had arrived in fairyland.

"You finally came."

The voice from last night sounded again, and Liu Bai could clearly hear that the voice came from this temple.

Liu Bai looked back and could no longer see the scene on the ground above the city wall. He could only see a gray mist.

The fog covered everything, but a hole appeared in the fog.

Looking through the hole, you can see the figure of the old marshal.

His face looking up gave Liu Bai a sense of security.

"Who are you? Why are you in my temple?" Liu Bai did not rush to push the door, just like he did when he was on the Zunshen Mountain.

He stood in front of the temple and asked in a deep voice.

"Your temple? This is obviously my temple."

The voice spoke with a hint of smile, and at that moment, Liu Bai finally felt a hint of familiarity in his voice.

It sounded androgynous before, but now it sounds familiar... It's as familiar as my voice!
Liu Bai felt that the voice of the person speaking in the temple was very similar to his!

"Your temple?"

Liu Bai asked back.

"Yes, I am you and you are me...so how can this not be considered my temple?"

It only sounded somewhat similar at first, but now when I listen to it again, it is completely my own voice!
"Demons and monsters!"

Liu Bai's face darkened, and he suddenly ignited his life fire. He strode forward, climbed the steps, came to the door of the temple, and then... kicked it open.

The little grass behind him also tightly grasped Liu Bai's shoulders to show his nervousness.

"Clang-"

"Clang-"

The two wooden doors were still swinging, and Liu Bai and Xiao Cao finally saw what was going on inside the temple.

At first glance, one can only say that this temple is not much different from ordinary temples.

The shrine is visible as soon as you push open the door. In front of the shrine is a table for offering incense, and in front of the table is a cushion for kneeling and worshiping.

"So, this is my real shrine?"

Liu Bai was surprised, but just doubtful. If that was true, why didn't he have any connection with this shrine?

I don't even know what the situation is like inside the temple.

And the shrine is also empty.

It seemed like it was waiting for him...the throne.

So what about that thing that was talking earlier?

The shrine is placed in the center of the temple, and there is an area behind it that is so dark that it cannot be seen.

If there is something, it is most likely in that darkness.

Liu Bai lit up his life fire and raised his leg again. The little grass that was originally lying on his back shrank back at this moment. His main goal was not to cause trouble to the young master.

Just as Liu Bai put his feet inside the temple, the door that was originally clanging suddenly closed as if it was pushed by someone.

Also sent out through this gate was... the grass.

The grass that had just been lying on Liu Bai's back also disappeared on Liu Bai's back as the door closed.

Liu Bai was also startled by the noise and turned his head suddenly.

But then, the voice sounded again.

"What are you afraid of?"

"..."

City head.

The moment the old marshal realized that the temple door was about to close, he reached out his hand. He raised his right hand and reached into the void.

It was an ordinary move, without bringing out any unusual phenomenon.

But his raised right hand retracted in an instant, as if it was a conditioned reflex.

I didn’t bring Liu Bai back, but at least I brought Xiao Cao back.

The old marshal raised his right hand as if in disbelief, and looked down. There was a clearly visible pinch mark on the index finger, middle finger and ring finger of his right hand.

Even some bruises can be seen on the middle finger.

Yes... I was caught in the door.

Still, he was caught by Liu Bai's temple gate.

The grass that had just returned was about to ask a question, but when it looked up and saw this scene, it was also a little stunned and surprised.

It is normal for the hand to be pinched by the door, and even the head to be pinched by the door.

But...this guy is the old marshal!

The old marshal was already a demigod, but now his finger was pinched by the door and it was almost bleeding.

Xiaocao's first reaction was not that the old marshal was not strong enough, but that the young master's shrine...what was its origin?
Can’t even deal with a demigod?

How can this be.

"Old Marshal, the young master is locked up inside. What can we do? How about you tear down the shrine and rescue the young master?"

Xiao Cao hurriedly pulled the old marshal's sleeve and said.

"This is your son's shrine."

The old marshal shook his right hand and recovered, then stroked his beard and said.

This made Xiao Cao hesitate. Yes, this is the young master's shrine. If it is really demolished, the young master will be fine, but the young master's shrine will be gone...

If the queen knew about this, she would definitely tear up the grass.

"But if we don't save him, what if something happens to him?"

Xiao Cao asked in a worried tone.

"I won't say anything. That's your young master's shrine."

The old marshal spoke in a deep voice and looked up at the tightly closed door.

"Yes, that is the young master's shrine!"

Xiaocao also reacted and suddenly looked up at the shrine above his head.

"..."

"Come out, you spooky fellow!"

Liu Bai sneered before his body exploded and turned into a sky full of golden flames. It bypassed the shrine and rushed into the darkness behind from both sides.

But when Liu Bai moved closer, he discovered that there was nothing behind the shrine.

There were no monsters or demons waiting here as he had imagined. There was only a tightly closed door on the earth wall behind the temple.

A set within a set, a door within a door.

What Liu Bai used was the "Wild Fire" he learned from Hei Mu. When he found nothing, he retracted the Wild Fire again and returned to his original form.

But just as he turned into human form again, the voice came from behind him again.

"Why, are you so cautious in your own temple?"

Liu Bai's own voice was still mocking himself.

At this moment, Liu Bai was neither surprised nor shocked. He just turned around and walked out from the right side of the shrine.

He turned his head again and looked towards the shrine.

At this moment, a figure appeared on the originally empty shrine.

His appearance... is exactly the same as Liu Bai.

You can even say they are exactly the same.

He just sat on top of Liu Bai's shrine, crossed his legs lazily, and leaned over to look at Liu Bai who was walking out with great interest.

But at this moment, an illusory figure walked out from behind Liu Bai. He looked exactly like him, but his eyes were closed.

"Get down."

A cold voice without any emotion sounded behind Liu Bai.

The figure sitting high on the shrine finally put away his joking attitude after hearing the voice.

He put down his right leg, slowly stood up, and then his body suddenly exploded, turning into a ball of gray mist and disappearing on the spot.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Bai felt an...indescribable aura descending upon this place.

He couldn't explain what this aura was. It gave him a hazy feeling, and he wasn't even sure whether anyone was coming.

Then, he heard a voice coming from his temple.

A voice similar to the one at the beginning, indistinguishable between male and female.

"Long time no see...outsider."

"Wha...what?!"

When Liu Bai heard this name, he subconsciously took a step back and looked around in disbelief.

At this moment, Liu Bai really felt scared and shocked.

Outsider... He could guess what this name referred to as soon as he heard it. The thing that was speaking at this moment definitely knew its own origins!
Is it more appropriate to say that I am a foreigner or a time traveler?
But Liu Bai felt that only Madam Liu knew a little about this matter, and she was still not sure.

But the thing in front of him told his origin right away.

Liu Bai first glanced at his own soul.

Why does it feel like there's something wrong with this soul now?

Liu Bai had already felt it since his Yin Spirit came out, not to mention the Yang Spirit that came later, and even the Yuan Spirit that came out.

After his soul came out, Liu Bai felt that his soul was not his own soul.

It's like an independent individual with its own consciousness and thoughts.

Later, Liu Bai even took the opportunity to ask Madam Liu about this, and only after getting a positive answer did he feel relieved.

But now, inside this temple, Liu Bai’s soul came out.

He felt that the connection between himself and his soul seemed... a little weak.

"Why, are you surprised?" The voice sounded again, and then said without any emotion:

"Your soul is using my body."

Liu Bai’s soul turned around and “looked” at himself with his eyes closed.

After a moment's silence, the voice seemed to be getting closer and closer, and even carried a hint of coldness.

It seemed to ring out right above Liu Bai's head, "You should actually thank me. If it weren't for me...how could you have such a good mother?"

"So… who are you?"

Liu Bai asked with a trembling voice.
