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

Chapter 317 Liu Bai and the Old Friend [asking for monthly ticket]

"mother."

Liu Bai hurriedly went to meet him.

Madam Liu, who had just returned, had a hint of smile in her eyes, "Not bad, she is not dead after all."

Xiao Cao, who had just jumped from the tree to the back of the white deer, jumped back to Madam Liu's shoulder and asked in a low voice: "Madam, who is it? Who is not dead?"

"Li Nian."

Madam Liu would never call him Mr. Lincen. The person she knew back then was Li Nian, and in her eyes, he is naturally still Li Nian now.

"Yes, Madam, you don't know that when we were in Xingyang Mountain, Little Li was already very powerful. The reason why we were able to do that thing so smoothly was probably because Little Li helped us at that time."

"And then he actually set fire to the entire Kaiyang Mountain. He did what we wanted to do but didn't do. And he didn't die after that. He's really amazing."

Xiaocao said in surprise.

Madam Liu did not refute, but just said: "There are countless geniuses in the world, and some of them are different from ordinary people."

"Too."

Xiao Cao nodded and said, "Xiao Cao heard a story in Zou Yin City. It said that in the old marshal's time, there was a Zou Yin man. He was originally a night watchman in the city, and he lit fires by walking in the Yin. But overnight, he went from being a Zou Yin man who lit three fires to a person who had attained enlightenment. He was really amazing."

"Well, he died in front of me."

Madam Liu had a blank expression on her face, but she would not stop until her words shocked the world.

Liu Bai had also heard the legend of that predecessor. Before that person, night watchman was a broad term, but after him, he was the only night watchman.

Because even though he has attained enlightenment, what he does is not much different from what he did before he attained enlightenment.

Take it as your responsibility to save all living beings in the world.

Patrolling the nights.

So he should be the night watchman of the human race.

But how could this man die in front of my mother? Was he killed by my mother again?
Liu Bai has become accustomed to being the mother of the God of Death.

Xiao Cao was also very surprised, "When did this happen? How come Xiao Cao didn't know about it! Xiao Cao knew that the Queen disliked Xiao Cao, and she kept everything from Xiao Cao, and even kept another dog at home."

After being surprised, the grass started crying again.

Madam Liu glanced expressionlessly at the white deer under the peach tree. The latter was already nibbling on the grass on the ground very tactfully.

"There are so many things you don't know."

Madam Liu was too lazy to explain and turned around and went into the house.

Liu Baizi also followed in. He was also thinking about asking about the matter between Chu He and Lin Cenjun.

But after they both entered the house, the white deer at the door did not dare to look up.

It was chewing the ground obediently.

I was just waiting for Liu Bai to ask again, but Madam Liu only said "very good".

"You will know it by then. Knowing it now is not a good thing for you."

It's the same old cliché again.

If Madam Liu didn't say anything, Liu Bai would have no choice, but from what he had seen and heard during this period, he could feel it.

Madam Liu, Zhang Cang, the old marshal and other people who stand at the top of the human race seem to be planning something.

It’s not convenient to talk to myself.

But what can happen now?

There is only this taboo of the Eastern Expedition. Most likely they are thinking about how to take down the taboo in one fell swoop. After the taboo is resolved, they will plan how to ascend to heaven and... kill gods.

It doesn't matter if you don't want to say it. Anyway, Liu Bai came back this time just to resolve his own knot and worries.

Now that everything is resolved, he should get busy with other things.

So Liu Bai took out the letter Zhu Yan asked him to bring back, "This is from Zhu Yan to Sister Hong, mother, please help deliver it."

Anyway, as long as we are in Yunzhou, Madam Yu Liu is just a thought away.

But Madam Liu took a look and said, "She's out. She's not in Yunzhou now. I'll give it to her when she comes back."

I still took the letter from home.

"Hmm? Sister Hong is not in Yunzhou? Where did she go?"

Liu Bai said in surprise.

Sister Hong has businesses in Yunzhou City. She is a ruthless person who moved the Short Knife Gang from Xueshi City to Yunzhou City.

"I was beaten by my daughter and felt ashamed, so I went out to look for a destiny."

"Fate? The greatest fate is right in front of us, why are we still going out to look for it?" Even Liu Bai couldn't help but mutter in a low voice.

After hearing this, Madam Liu looked at Liu Bai with contempt.

"Do you think everyone is like you, relying on their mother all day long?"

"Then who made me have a good mother?"

Liu Bai didn't care and even dared to refute.

It was only because he knew that if he refuted this, Madam Liu would not only not be angry, but would be happy.

In fact, this was indeed the case. When Madam Liu heard this, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, then she turned around and walked underground.

"It's so late and you're still not asleep. Are you going to sleep or not?"

"Sleep, sleep, sleep. I'm going to take a shower and go to bed."

Liu Bai quickly admitted his mistake.

It’s also okay. Maybe it’s because Madam Liu knows that Liu Bai has grown up, so at least she won’t mention helping him take a bath anymore.

Silent all night.

Liu Bai slept particularly soundly that night. He even woke up at noon. Summer cicadas were still clinging to the peach trees outside, chirping non-stop.

Liu Bai didn't think it was noisy. To him, this was the taste of home.

While waiting for him to get up and come out, Xiaocao and Xiaogudong rode on the white deer and looked up at the peach trees to see which ones had turned red.

Whenever there was one, Xiaocao would jump up to pick it and throw it down while it was still on the tree.

Little Gudong was standing under the tree with her mouth wide open, waiting for the peach to fall in. She mumbled a few times and then spit out a peach pit.

"Brother Cao, I think these green peaches are edible and delicious. They make you drool even more after eating them."

Little Gudong really wants to eat everything he sees.

"Don't be greedy. Wait until the peaches are ripe, and you can eat your fill all at once."

The grass was also happy because it remembered that in previous years when it was at home, it would pick these peaches, collect them, and dry them into dried peaches.

This year, since we have Xiao Gudong here, there’s no need for that.

"Mom, I'm going to go to the city to meet Hu Wei and Liu Tie."

"Ah."

"..."

For a long while, Liu Bai stood in front of a gate that spanned half of the street in Yunzhou City, and couldn't help but sigh.

In just a few years, the Short Knife Gang, which had previously cowered in Xueshi City, now has such a large territory in Yunzhou City.

This is just the main hall.

There are countless other industries.

Liu Bai couldn't help but feel emotional when he saw this scene.

"Guwa, are you thinking of joining the Short Knife Gang too?"

Liu Bai turned around and saw that the man who was talking behind him was a fruit farmer, over fifty years old, who was selling some seasonal fruits on a small wheelbarrow.

That is, he waited for Liu Bai to turn around, and then the old farmer saw clearly, and then he bowed his head and apologized, "I said something wrong, I said something wrong, please forgive me, young master."

Before, he just looked at the young man standing in front of him, without looking up, and spoke casually.

Now that he had seen Liu Bai's appearance and what he was wearing, it was no longer something he could comment on casually.

"fine."

Liu Bai waved his hand and asked casually, "What do you think of this Short Knife Gang?"

The old farmer was stunned for a moment before he replied, "The Short Knife Gang is pretty good... Compared to other matchmaking clubs and the Shefu Hall, it's much better."

"Otherwise, I wouldn't dare to set up a stall here."

The old farmer spread his hands and finished speaking. He heard the young man in front of him say "hmm", and then he saw the young man... fly up.

"scare--"

The old farmer was so frightened that he quickly looked up and looked at the scene in disbelief.

"God...immortal?"

After the trance, the old farmer hurriedly knelt down, but found that he could not kneel down at all.

At this time, inside the Short Knife Gang.

Hu Wei was arranging gang affairs for two gang members who had gathered five qi. After finishing the arrangements, he just patted his butt and left.

But these two gang members who were given the job were smiling on the surface, but their expressions changed after Hu Wei left.

"Heh, a person with a burning spirit body really thinks he is a big shot, ordering people around like that."

One of the middle-aged men with a kind face sneered and spat on the ground.

On the contrary, the man with a scar on his face beside him quickly reminded him, "Sixth brother, be careful with your words. This Hu Wei came from Blood Food City. I heard that he is a veteran of the Short Knife Gang. He can even laugh and joke in front of Sister Hong."

After hearing this, the kind man restrained the unfriendly smile on his face.

"Blood Food City, a remote and poor place."

The scarred man hesitated to speak, but ultimately did not remind him again.

Just like this, he actually wanted to refute it... Since you look down on the Short Knife Gang and think that they come from a poor and remote area, why are you still trying to make a living here? Are you still hanging out with this gang?
I'll remind you once, it's a friendship.

If you talk too much, it will annoy people.

Just as the scarred man was thinking about leaving, thinking that after this matter was over, he would have to cut off all ties with Liu Liu in the future.

Suddenly, a heavy pressure came from the front, from the entrance of the Short Knife Gang.

This pressure made them both almost kneel down.

"Is this... an enemy attack?"

When Liu Liu's eyes were filled with panic, a voice came like thunder.

"Hu Wei, Liu Tie, come out and see me right now!"

Liu Liu, who was almost kneeling down, suddenly raised his head when he heard this, and his heart was moved.

"Beard?"

He muttered to himself, and when he turned back to look at the scarred man again, his eyes were filled with joy, "Ah Tian, ​​look, retribution has come!"

"Such a shady strongman came to the door and asked for this Hu Wei by name. He must be in big trouble."

"Let's see what he can do now. Sister Hong is not here, let's see who can protect him!"

The more Liu Liu spoke, the happier he became. "Let's go out and see what happened to this poor family."

Liu Liu clasped his hands together as if clapping, then walked out quickly.

The scarred man sighed inwardly and followed, but all he wanted to do was see what was going on.

As for the rest... he wasn't worried.

He had already found out everything before joining the Short Knife Gang.

Sister Hong from the Short Knife Gang doesn't even have to perform formalities when meeting the governor, so even if something does happen, it won't be a serious injury.

So it must be just a small matter.

You don't even have to walk to the door, just come to the front yard, and you will find that this huge yard is almost full of people. Many gang members are here, afraid to move forward.

The scarred man and Liu Liu who came later also looked up.

"What? A child?"

The scarred man was a little frightened when he saw the figure floating in the air.

If this was really what happened to Hu Wei and the others, why would they bother with this kid?

The scarred man lowered his head slightly and found that Liu Liu was clenching his fists tightly, as if he was going to watch how Hu Wei died.

After thinking it over, the scarred man silently took a few steps back, put some distance between himself and went somewhere else.

"Haha, I don't know where you are coming from, please join us and have a chat."

A black light flashed from the inside of the Short Knife Gang to the roof of the front yard and transformed into a middle-aged man with a square face. He bowed and saluted towards the young man in the air.

"No thanks, I'm just here to look for someone."

Liu Bai lowered his head to take a look, but didn't recognize him. He also didn't know where Sister Hong had recruited the Yang God to become the Yin Person.

Judging from his energy and blood, Liu Bai thought that he was probably a big shot in Yunzhou City.

Seeing that this person still wanted to speak, Liu Bai's gaze had already drifted towards the inner courtyard.

"Okay, okay. I thought it was an enemy who showed up. It turned out to be you. Come down quickly and ask for a beating!"

Hu Wei shouted with laughter.

Seeing this playmate from childhood…oh no, playmate from childhood…that’s not right, I should say playmate from childhood is still like this.

Liu Bai felt relieved that there would be no rift due to the change in his strength.

He floated down to the front yard. Upon seeing this, the members of the Short Knife Gang nearby moved away and squeezed out a space for Liu Bai.

In their opinion, the only person who can fly and hide in the entire Short Knife Gang is Sister Hong.

They were not the ones who could provoke a senior who was above the Yuanshen level. So Liu Liu in the crowd watched Hu Wei come forward, pat the senior on the shoulder, and shouted loudly for the senior to treat him.

Liu Tie on the side was still joking, saying that Hu Wei was so scared that he hid in the toilet and didn't dare to come out.

After hearing this, the senior cooperated and said that Hu Wei was like this when he was a child.

At this point, Liu Liu finally knew.

This isn't some senior who comes to seek revenge; this is clearly a senior who comes to recognize his relatives.

"Why are there only the two of you? Where's Gongsun Shi? He won't come out unless you call him. Does he look down on me?"

Liu Bai said with a frown.

Hu Wei laughed and said, "Young Boss, you are a very busy man now. I guess you should have gone to Xianshan and patrolled the Yin Meridians with Sister Hong's short knife."

"Never mind, let's go first."

After Liu Bai finished speaking, he led the two of them towards the door. The ordinary members of the Short Knife Gang all moved aside to make way for them to leave.

The Yangshen Zouyinren who was originally standing on the roof also came down from the roof after seeing Liu Bai falling.

At this moment, he was standing at the door, bowing to Liu Bai and smiling, "So you are one of us, haha, please come visit us next time, senior."

"Let's talk again."

Liu Bai waved his hand casually.

While waiting to come out of the Short Knife Gang, Liu Bai asked about Qiu Qianhai's news again.

This man could be considered as a disciple of Master Ma. Liu Bai had come into contact with him when he came to Yunzhou City before.

"He."

When talking about Qiu Qianhai, the smile in Hu Wei's eyes disappeared, which reminded Liu Bai of something that happened before.

That was when they were fighting for Sunset Mountain. He asked Taoist Xiaosuan to help him calculate Qiu Qianhai's safety. But the result calculated by Taoist Xiaosuan was that Qiu Qianhai was protected by someone.

The other party is a ghost walker who is above the shrine level.

It can be said that there are many adventures.

"He left with the Water and Fire Sect. I heard he went to the State of Wei. He didn't send any specific information back."

Liu Tie replied.

"Then don't care."

Liu Bai was just asking casually and didn't care about anything else.

"Let's go find a place to eat and drink first, then I'll take you home to see Master Ma."

Liu Bai waved his hand.

"That's great." Hu Wei laughed and said, "By the way, Liu Bai, you may not know that Liu Tie is also about to get married."

"Ok?"

Liu Bai looked at the fat and white Liu Tie in surprise. Even after coming to Yunzhou City, he still maintained his original skills and was responsible for the paper figurine craft of the Short Knife Gang.

Liu Tie lowered his head in embarrassment and said quickly: "Why are you talking about me? Talk about Brother Liuzi, he is already a father."

"Sixth Senior Brother has become a father?"

Liu Bai was more and more surprised. How come it seemed like a long time had passed since they last saw each other?

After thinking about it again, Liu Bai remembered that the last time they met was indeed a long time ago. After the incident at the Bai family a few years ago, Liu Bai had not come to see them since he came back.

Instead, after his strength increased, he went straight to the Great Wall in the West.

Before the incident with the Bai family, Liu Bai traveled east for more than a year.

It is true that things in the world are so fickle... Liu Bai couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Hu Wei immediately found a place, and the three of them ate and drank, and reminisced about the past. During the conversation, Liu Bai also asked about Liu Tie's situation.

It turned out that he knew that his talent was limited, so he did not pursue higher realms of walking in the Yin. In addition, he was almost old, so he planned to find a suitable girl, get married and have children.

The other person is also a nice person, the daughter of a wealthy businessman in Yunzhou City.

Hu Wei had never met him, but he had seen the wealthy businessman, and he was very satisfied with Liu Tie's identity.

The other party is just an ordinary person who is guarding a huge business, so he urgently needs a ghost walker to help protect him.

Liu Tie is a very suitable member of the Short Knife Gang, and they are even more satisfied after knowing that Liu Tie is also a core member of the gang.

They are both very satisfied with each other and will probably get married soon.

Liu Bai also agreed and gave Liu Tiebao a big red envelope when the time comes.

After finishing their meal, several people bought some things to take back to Master Ma. After everything was ready, Hu Wei and Liu Tie came to the south gate.

They were waiting here excitedly, because Liu Bai said that he would take them both to fly back this time!
To fly, that can at least be done by a person whose soul is in the Yin state.

Moreover, the soul cannot fly for a long time. To fly for a long time across regions, it still needs... a shrine.

"Come on, come on, take us to broaden our horizons."

Hu Wei rubbed his hands and said impatiently.

"Haha, let's go then."

Liu Bai had already built the shrine and set up the throne, so there was no problem at all for him to take these two people along.

Then the three of them rose from the ground and flew straight to the southwest. Above the clouds, Hu Wei's hearty laughter could be heard.

Just like the late nights when I was young, I lay in the small room in the Ma family farm, laughing and playing, and finally got scolded by Master Ma from the next room.

After half an hour.

When Liu Bai and the other two fell from the sky and landed on Ma's farm, Hu Wei laughed loudly, "Ma Lao San, grandpa is here!"

So, Liu Bai helped to hold down Hu Wei, and Liu Tie helped to take out the bamboo whip that accompanied Hu Wei's childhood.

After a while, Hu Wei lay down on the bed with a look of despair, watching Liu Bai and the other two discussing whether to eat mountain spirits or river monsters in the evening.

Finally, I thought, I might as well eat them all.

But after waiting for a while, a man with a slightly hunched back and a cigarette in his mouth walked in.

The young men who were practicing boxing outside were all shouting "Big Brother".

When Liu Bai saw him, he also saw the young woman holding a child behind him. She looked ordinary, but judging from her appearance, she should be someone who didn't need to do much work.

It makes sense. Although Liuzi's talent is not very good, with Liu Bai's repeated "feeding", he has at least turned his life fire into a spirit body.

In the Blood Food City, this can be called "Master".

It may be difficult to become rich and powerful, but being content with a small fortune is not a problem.

The people who were joking in the room stopped for a moment, and the woman hurried forward to greet him. Master Ma naturally called him "Master Ma", while Hu Wei and Liu Tie called him by his name.

But when she arrived in front of Liu Bai, she called him Young Master Liu.

She probably didn't know anything, and all of this was pointed out by Liuzi.

After hearing this, Liu Bai looked at Liuzi with some displeasure and frowned.

This made Liuzi, who had just sat down, stand up again, bow, and call out "Junior Brother Liu".

"Liu Zi is just like that. He can't be pulled back even by several oxen. I don't bother to care about him." Master Ma waved his hand and said nonchalantly.

Liuzi laughed and sat back, smashing the unfinished cigarette on the sole of his shoe with his eyes rolled up.

He remembered that Junior Brother Liu didn't like the smell of smoke.

The young woman picked up a small stool and went to the door with the child in her arms. She was very tactful.

When Liu Tie, who was sitting opposite, saw this scene, his eyes flickered.

He was afraid that he would become like this after getting married.

Even in the evening, the brothers and sisters still cooked together, and the food they ate were all the mountain spirits and river monsters brought by Liu Bai.

Among the people present, except Liu Bai, the strongest one is Master Ma who has gathered the five energies.

So the food I eat is not too good.

Liu Bai only dared to take some scraps from a mountain spirit of the [filthy] creature level, and most of what he ate was of the ghost level.

But after the meal this time, no one was promoted.

According to Liu Bai, he had just built the shrine and even installed the throne in one go, so he didn't need to think about improving his strength in the short term.

After eating and drinking, several brothers stayed at Master Ma's house for one night and chatted until dawn.

Hu Wei, a lonely man, has many ideas and wants to see the vast world.

There was hope in Liu Tie's words, but the topics he brought up were mostly about family matters.

Liu Bai can talk to both sides.

The next day, the brothers who had gathered together dispersed, and Liu Bai sent Hu Wei and the other two back to Yunzhou City.

Liu Bai had nothing to do, so he thought of walking around the city and seeing this long-missed city.

Everything is as it was before.

Even after the Sunset Mountain incident and the change of governor, everything remains the same.

The people in the city will not close their doors and go about their business just because the sun comes out a little later today.

After wandering around for half an hour, Liu Bai suddenly heard a shout from the side that seemed a little uncertain.

"Master... Young Master?"

"Ok?"

Liu Bai turned his head and saw a girl wearing a green gown and a bamboo hat. She was tall, a head taller than him.

Liu Bai took a look and recognized who it was.

Lin Dandan.

The girl that Liu Bai had rescued several times was later fostered by him in the home of Xu Xiaoer, also known as Xu Changsheng.

"Hey, it's you."

Liu Bai looked Lin Dandan up and down. It had been more than a year since they last saw each other. Not only had the girl grown into a young lady, but she had also walked out of the Yin spirit.

This talent is truly extraordinary.

When Lin Dandan saw her benefactor again, her eyes flickered with tears in them.

"I...I thought I was seeing things. The young master has changed so much."

Yes, when we met before, Liu Bai was still a half-grown child, but now he has become Liu Bai who has built a shrine... Not much different from a boy of fourteen or fifteen years old.

Seeing that Lin Dandan was about to leave, the shopkeeper behind her waved hurriedly and said, "Girl, you haven't paid yet."

Lin Dandan threw a silver ingot without even looking back, and what she held in her hand was just a steaming meat pie wrapped in a lotus leaf.

Looking at the girl in front of him, Liu Bai thought of her brother who had been taken away.

At that time, outside the Black Wood Tomb, although she met the red ghost, she did not meet her brother.

By the time Liu Bai came out of the Black Wood Tomb, the Red Pawn Ghost had long disappeared.

"Have you found your brother?" Liu Bai asked.

After so many years, Lin Dandan seemed to have let it go. "No, but the senior in my family who took him away sent a letter back, saying not to worry, and that he would be allowed to come back after my brother has developed his soul."

"That's not bad."

The Red Pawn Ghost took them away because they were descendants of the family, so there was no need to worry too much about their safety.

The two of them were strolling on the street, and Liu Bai also asked about Lin Dandan's recent situation.

The small force she was previously in accidentally provoked a powerful ghost outside the city, which led to the death of their leader.

The organization, which was not big to begin with, lost its leader, and the rest of the organizations also began to split up. After it was torn apart, Lin Dandan was able to get away with it.

Now she is an idle wandering ghost in Yunzhou City.

Xianyunyehe was a free-spirited person, and although many organizations and forces had invited her, she was not interested in any of them.

After some casual chatting, Liu Bai took the opportunity to ask about Xu Changsheng's recent situation.

"He."

When talking about Xu Changsheng, Lin Dandan's eyes became more gentle. How could Liu Bai not see what this meant? He smiled and asked, "Are you together?"

Lin Dandan didn't look shy at all, instead she nodded openly.

"I have to thank you for the fate you created."

"Fate is predestined by heaven. Even without me, you would have met under other circumstances." Liu Bai waved his hand, not wanting to be too involved in this cause and effect.

"You haven't told me about others yet?"

"He...went to Yincheng."

Lin Dandan turned her head and looked towards the west, her gaze gazing very far away, as if she had already fallen from Yunzhou City to the Great Wall in the west in the distance.

And this is exactly the reason why she is unwilling to join any forces. She has just raised the Yin God not long ago, and she is waiting for the Yin God to become more stable before going to the Western Great Wall to find him.

"What? He also went to the Westerly Wall?"

Liu Bai was really surprised this time. He knew that Xu Changsheng was a shady man, but the young man's talent was not that good.

Only a few years have passed now. Even if Xu Changsheng is lucky, he is at most a burning spirit body.

This burning spirit is going to break into the Great Wall in the West?

"Master, did you also go to the Great Wall in the West?"

Lin Dandan hesitated for a moment, but still asked.
