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

Chapter 324: The Gu God Appears! [Seeking monthly votes]

The expressionless young man in white, the head of a man whose eyes were still dripping with blood, and the bloody avenue that was collapsing with a roar above the sky.

It seems to constitute a beautiful picture between heaven and earth.

But this painting made the group of Taoist leaders in front of them... feel terrified.

Even Ma Zhi looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar boy in front of him with a serious expression.

Ma Zhi had expressed his stance earlier, saying that they were one of us.

Wu Lie accepted Liu Bai's kindness, so he wouldn't say much, and the same went for Gardenia.

Blood Crow has always been taciturn, not to mention the familiar breath flowing around at this moment, which lets him know that there is another one of its kind here.

The most powerful ones who want to cause trouble would hope that the situation will be as chaotic as possible.

The remaining Lu Lazi...felt so terrified that he didn't even dare to look up.

So Liu Bai looked around and casually threw the insect-sized head to the door, at their feet.

"Anyone who has any opinions can speak out now."

"Don't worry. When we go to Yincheng, neither I nor the old marshal will have the final say. We are all easy to talk to."

Liu Bai clapped his hands as he spoke, as if to brush away the dust.

None of the religious leaders spoke.

Liu Bai seemed to have thought of something and whispered, "By the way, we are only interested in this insect when we go to Yincheng. We don't care about the land left by the Gushen Cult."

As soon as these words were spoken, Lu Lazi, Wu Lie and Zhizi all looked at each other.

The territory occupied by the Gu God Cult is surrounded by the Xi God Cult, the Wu God Cult and the Military Strategists.

Now that the Gu God Cult is gone, this territory...

When Lu Lazi saw Wu Lie's gaze, he also felt panic in his heart.

"This bastard is so malicious before he even starts fighting for territory? He is really a dog that smells shit."

Wu Lie thought that this was a good excuse and a reason to take action against Lu Lazi.

It is better to take it down right away to avoid being stabbed in the back later.

"In that case, I'll take my leave."

Ma Zhi took the lead, otherwise none of them would dare to leave.

As soon as he moved, the others scattered like birds and beasts, talking to themselves and running away, fearing that if they walked too slowly, they would be stuck in this Ruoliu Mountain forever.

Behind Liu Bai, Hei Mu had already obtained the property left behind by Chong Da.

There is no need to say much about Sumeru.

The most important thing is the two poisonous insects in Hei Mu's hands.

One was the fat white poisonous insect that the Big Insect used to escape, and the other one was similar in shape, but gray-brown in color.

The two poisonous insects look like a pair.

"This old guy really has refined two life-definition Gu, and it looks like he wants to devour these two things and turn them into one."

Kuroki sighed and put it away.

"Take these two back and show them to the old marshal. If nothing unexpected happens, we will have one more person to prove our truth when we go to Yincheng."

"Oh? There are also people refining Gu in Zou Yin City?"

Liu Bai thought that only the Gu Shen Sect could refine Gu.

"You don't have to make Gu, playing with insects is fine."

As Hei Mu spoke, he waved his hand again to collect all the insect-sized corpses, the corpses of the ones who had attained the Tao, even those that had been forcibly brought up.

It will be very useful to bring it back.

Outside the door, only Gardenia was left.

Other sect leaders can all return to their own homes, but this is the territory of her Xishen Sect, so where can she run to?

Seeing Liu Bai's gaze, she was about to take out the Sumeru to apologize.

But at this moment, a majestic pressure suddenly enveloped the entire mountain, and even spread to further places, as if it covered the entire world.

Gardenia stopped at the door and even found it difficult to move.

A raging black fire suddenly ignited on Heimu's body, a wildfire...it ignited spontaneously, as if it was going to burn the entire sky and the earth.

Liu Bai also felt that the wildfire in his body had a tendency to spontaneously combust.

But what he felt more clearly was that he still couldn't move, and an extremely heavy pressure covered him.

This breath is strange yet somewhat familiar.

Because Liu Bai had sensed it once before when he was at home in Huangliang Town.

The source of this breath is a being called... God.

The pressure was getting heavier and heavier, and it seemed as if it was going to force Liu Bai to his knees. He seemed to have something in mind and looked inward.

The shrine emerged from his body, and his soul sitting high on the shrine suddenly opened its eyes.

At this moment, all the pressure disappeared.

"Ok?"

Liu Bai discovered that the grass had climbed onto his shoulders without him noticing, and he looked up vigilantly.

"Hey, sir, are you okay?"

The little grass seemed to be caught and quickly shrank back, trembling without saying a word, as if the one who had just looked up at the sky was not him.

But when this pressure appeared, the leaders of the Taoist sects who were originally scattered all stopped, landed on the nearest hilltop, and looked up.

The collapsed bloody road above the sky was like a blood cloud being swallowed by an even bigger black shadow.

The figure seemed to be turning over.

All those who were looking up lowered their heads after seeing this figure.

God, don’t look directly at him!

But there are exceptions, for example, Madam Liu now, she is standing in the Liu family's yard, looking up slightly.

There was a bright golden light in his eyes.

As a result, the white deer could only collapse to the ground, burying its head under the peach tree, not daring to move at all.

Walking on the top of Yincheng City, the old marshal had already raised his head at the moment when the sky dome avenue collapsed.

The other disciples in the city also came to the old marshal and asked him why more disciples had been killed or injured.

Therefore, at this moment they all saw this strange phenomenon from the sky.

god……

God has appeared!

This time it is not a joke nor is it fake, but the true God has appeared in the true sense.

Further into the forbidden depths, at the top of the God Mountain.

The old temple keeper, who had originally closed his eyes, suddenly opened them and turned to look towards the temple gate.

"Boom-"

"咚咚-"

There seemed to be two knocks on the door inside the temple, from inside and outside.

But the main door of the temple is actually two ordinary wooden doors, which open inwards and can be opened by just pulling from the inside.

So...what's the point of knocking?
Who would knock on the door inside?

But this was obviously not a question for the old temple keeper. He just took a look and then looked towards the sky.

At that time, the blood-red avenue above the sky began to collapse.

The shadow of the true god slowly appeared.

The temple ghost knocked on the door, even before the fall of this saint.

He first looked up, until the true god showed up, then he lowered his head to look to the east.

At this moment, he stood up for the first time.

It seemed as if he stood up for the first time in thousands of years. He walked forward leisurely, came under the eaves, and stopped.

Just take one more step forward and you will be able to leave the temple.

He raised his right foot and held it in the air, as if thinking for a while, but finally he retracted it and stood under the eaves.

There is the roof ditch in front of me. I just need to take one step forward to cross it.

But this ditch was like a natural moat, and also like a cage, completely trapping the old temple keeper inside.

Inside the temple, that sinister voice sounded again.

"Hehehe, I knew you were unreliable, so why are you planning to run away now?"

The old temple keeper, with his hands behind his back, looked up and watched the true god swallow up the collapsed bloody road in one gulp.

Only after he finished reading did he turn around and say, "Do you want me to throw you up there as well and feed you to the Gu God?"

"Woke up, one sermon cannot feed Him."

There was no sound in the temple now.

The old temple keeper sneered undisguisedly, then withdrew his gaze, but he no longer put his hands behind his back, but instead put his hands in his sleeves.

It's like he has something hidden up his sleeves.

Walk to the Yinchengtou.

The old marshal had also cleared out all the sneakers on the top of the city wall and sent them into the city. So far, he was the only one on the entire Western Great Wall.

At this time, he looked towards the north. In his sight, the entire northern Qin State was shrouded in a golden light.

And above the light shield, there was a golden real dragon perched.

The dragon head was raised, and its eyes were also fixed on the huge black shadow above the sky.

On a hilltop outside Ruoliu Mountain, two figures suddenly walked out from beside Ma Zhi. They were the chief leader of the Ghost and God Sect, Meng Ren, and the second chief leader, Mi Dou.

"Is this... the power of a true God?"

Midou raised his head. Although it was very difficult to suppress his emotions, his eyes became more and more fanatical.

"Okay, calm down. If that person wakes up, I'll slap you to death."

Meng Ren rolled up his sleeves and glanced at Mi Dou coldly.

It was obvious that Mi Dou was so overwhelmed by this momentum that it was difficult for him to even raise his head, but Meng Ren seemed to feel nothing at all.

He looked towards Ruoliu Mountain again.

"Is Mr. Liu still here?"

"exist."

Ma Zhi also seemed to be unaffected by this aura and pressure.

Meng Ren retracted his gaze and cursed.

"You're just banging on the door without saying anything. Aren't you afraid of knocking it open with one blow?"

Ma Zhi looked at the Gu God who seemed to have been awakened, and said softly: "It's already this time, we really need to test the waters first."

"See how they sleep."

"But he just started doing it without saying a word, it's really fucking intimidating."

Meng Ren looked genuinely frightened, or perhaps... expectant?
"Are you going to take action?"

Midou asked expectantly.

Ma Zhi glanced in the direction of Ruoliu Mountain again, "It's not the time yet."

"..."

"Sir, can we fight?"

There was a raging wildfire burning on Hei Mu's body. Originally, this wildfire was born to kill gods. Now that the gods were right before his eyes, the wildfire was naturally ignited.

Even at the beginning of his path to enlightenment, he had to kill gods before he could achieve enlightenment.

But this is bound to be a dead end.

If you can't prove the truth, you can just show off your god, or show off your god and kill gods?
What a joke.

So after surviving these two times, he settled for the next best thing and killed the throne to prove his truth.

In this way, although the power of proving the Tao is not as strong as that of killing gods, it is good that the Tao can be achieved.

"Probably not."

The basis for Liu Bai's judgment was simple. First, Madam Liu did not give him any instructions, and second, he, the main force for killing gods, had not yet grown up.

Kill the gods...who will go?
That would be no different from committing suicide.

So this time it was most likely a test, using the hand of the Gu God to see to what extent the true gods in the sky were sleeping.

Just like at this moment, after the Gu God was awakened and swallowed the Great Dao of the Insect, no other True Gods were seen awakened.

Maybe there is...

But he didn't show up.

When he was still at home, Liu Bai saw another true god who was awakened, or in other words, that was also the Gu God?
At this moment, all the ghost walkers in the world felt the extremely strong pressure coming from the sky.

It also made them feel that in addition to the threat from the taboos in the west.

The greater threat came from the sky. Those who had the strength to look up were watching the Gu God turn over. After swallowing the avenue, He seemed to want to get up, but after struggling, He finally lay down again and seemed to fall into a deep sleep.

After waiting for a while, all the strange phenomena in the world disappeared.

Without the pressure, the blood cloud that originally covered the sky also disappeared.

It seems that the true God has never appeared, and the truth has never fallen.

Liu Bai looked inward at himself and let his soul close its eyes.

But just when Liu Bai's soul closed his eyes, a strange yet familiar memory was transmitted from his soul into his mind.

It was the same situation as when the insect king fell before.

The road collapsed, blood clouds rolled in the sky, and thunder rumbled, one after another.

Then... the Gu God appeared, but in Liu Bai's soul's vision, this Gu God was not the one he saw, but a black figure.

In the vision of the primordial spirit, the blood-colored avenue was swallowing up the sky.

It's a bug.

A huge, wriggling fat worm, a bit like the two natal Gu that were bigger than the worm, but the difference was that this fat worm had two tentacles on its head.

The tentacles are very long, extending in front of the body, with a bulge in the front like two lanterns hanging.

The Bloody Avenue was also sucked into his mouth.

The true God turning over that everyone saw was just Him standing up and then lying down again.

Then continue to sleep soundly.

The memory disappears here.

So... the true form of this Gu God is actually a giant Gu worm?

What ordinary people can see are all illusions. Only because our own soul comes from the origin of this world can we see its true self?
Since the true form of this Gu God is a Gu insect.

So what about the other true gods?
It probably can't be a humanoid.

At that moment, Liu Bai suddenly understood why it was said that all the evil in this world came from those gods. They... were monsters themselves!

Hei Mu also put away the wildfire on his body.

"Is this... is this the Gu God?"

Gardenia murmured.

"What? Hasn't the leader of the Xishen Sect seen a true God before?" Liu Bai asked with a smile.

"I have seen it, but I have only seen my own god."

Gardenia said softly.

Liu Bai glanced at Hei Mu again.

The latter nodded slightly, indicating that it was settled.

"Then let's get ready to go back." Liu Bai stretched lazily, as if he had solved a big problem.

Only then did Gardenia react and hurriedly handed over the Sumeru offered by the God of Joy Cult as an apology.

Liu Bai took it and glanced at it casually. As expected, it was the one with the least amount among the major religions.

But he didn't make it difficult. Instead, he looked at Kuroki and said with a smile: "It's not sincere enough, but for Kuroki's sake, I'll wipe it off for you."

When Hei Mu, who had been expressionless, heard this, he suddenly raised his eyebrows and was about to speak.

But Gardenia had already spoken first, "Thank you, Brother Kuroki. Thank you, Brother Kuroki."

Now that things have come to this, and things have been said to this point, Hei Mu could only sigh.

"I'm sorry for disturbing you these days. Goodbye."

Liu Bai bowed slightly towards Zhizi.

The leader of the Xishen Sect also hurriedly returned the greeting, "Master Chuanhuo, you are too polite."

Liu Bai glanced at Hei Mu again, and the latter said, "Goodbye."

Seeing Hei Mu's reluctance, Xiao Cao burst out laughing.

As soon as he said he was leaving, Adao appeared from somewhere again, with a woman's body fragrance on him.

It was as if he had just escaped from some beautiful woman's bed.

Liu Bai gave him a look of disdain.

A Dao was not afraid at all, and even straightened his chest confidently.

"Shame on you."

Xiaocao cursed.

Then the three people turned into a stream of light again and fled to the southwest.

Gardenia just stood in front of the hall and watched them leave.

But before that it turned around and looked towards the northeast, where it heard the sound of fighting, followed by streams of energy that shattered the clouds.

This movement clearly indicated another fight between two people who were seeking to attain the Dao.

She sensed it briefly and felt that it was most likely Wu Lie and Lu Lazi.

Once the Gu God Cult is destroyed, the next step will be the main event. That piece of land is a hot commodity that everyone wants...

For no reason, Gardenia sighed again.

To prove the truth, in this world, even those who prove the truth cannot be free.

"..."

"What did the Gu God you saw look like?"

On the way back to Zouyin City, Liu Bai suddenly asked.

"Gu God?"

"It's just a black shadow. It looks like a person, but I can't see his face clearly." Adao answered quickly. After that, he looked at Hei Mu again, his words full of inquiry and curiosity.

"not human."

Kuroki hesitated for a moment before saying this.

"Not a human? What is that?"

Adao was very shocked, but still felt a little unwilling.

He felt that his strength was pretty good, but now he couldn't even tell what this true God was?

This put a lot of pressure on him.

"I don't know, but it's definitely not a human."

"So what exactly did you see?" Adao asked.

Hei Mu pondered for a moment and then said, "A mass of ever-evolving chaos, invisible, but definitely also tangible, I just can't see it... Sir, have you seen it?"

Hei Mu looked at Liu Bai beside him.

This topic was first brought up by Liu Bai, so he probably saw something.

"Ah."

Liu Bai nodded, and before they could ask any more questions, he said, "I'll talk to the old marshal when I get back."

If we reveal the true identity of the Gu God here, and if it triggers some cause and effect and wakes him up, we will be in big trouble.

But on the way back, Liu Bai sensed it several times, but did not see Yuan Chen again.

Ever since he swung that knife at Ruoliu Mountain and killed another person who had attained the Dao.

He never showed up again, as if he had disappeared.

There is a possibility that he will return to Zouyin City, but it is not very likely. Liu Bai even thinks that he may have received another task from the old marshal, so he left first.

When waiting for Liu Bai to return to Zouyin City again, he was a little dazed.

He originally thought that this trip would take more than a month.

But he never expected that it was resolved in just a few days. Well... fortunately he thought of the Hongmen Banquet.

Otherwise, we would really go house by house looking for the leaders of those religions.

Not only would it be a loss of face for Zou Yin City, but it would also be troublesome and a lot of effort would be wasted.

As soon as Liu Bai stepped into Zouyin City, he found himself at the top of the city wall, and sitting in front of him was the old marshal.

The latter had an undisguised smile on his face.

"Greetings, old marshal." Liu Bai bowed slightly.

The old marshal stroked his beard and smiled, "I know everything that happened to this Wei group. Very good, young Liu, you didn't embarrass us when we left Yincheng."

"It's your job."

As Liu Bai spoke, he listed all the gains he had this time. Adding together all the things in this Xumi, it would probably be comparable to the output of walking in Yin City for several years.

The Divine Cult dug deep into the ground in the Wei State and indeed looted a lot of good things.

"These are all apologies from the cults. Please have a look, old Marshal."

The old marshal glanced at it and did not take it.

"This is what you are going to do in the Fire House, just keep it." The old marshal said with a smile on his face, and continued: "With these things, the pressure on you to go to the Fire House will be gone."

Liu Bai also knew the pressure that the old marshal mentioned.

The merchants in Zouyin City and those traveling merchants inside the pass always say that Chuanhuo Mansion has swallowed up so much.

But only Chuanhuo Mansion knows the actual situation.

Just to repair the city wall, a huge price of blood beads would have to be paid to the Qin State.

You have to give it to me.

Because in order to repair the city wall, they have to pay a huge price.

Another major expense is the deaths and injuries of the emissaries in the city. After each siege, the emissaries were killed or injured on the city walls.

All of them had to be registered in Chuanhuo Mansion, and then someone would be asked to contact their relatives inside the pass.

Compensating them with some Yin beads would make them feel better.

Especially the latter part, many people don’t even know about it.

The output of Yincheng is huge, but Chuanhuofu is really broke.

After saying this, Liu Bai put away the Xumi and said in a deep voice, "Regarding the Divine Religion...does the old Marshal want to take this opportunity to find out the truth?"

"Ah."

The old marshal did not hide the fact that this was what really made him feel relieved.

From the current perspective, it will take some time for the true gods to wake up.

This period of time is the opportunity for the old marshal and his men. The later they wake up, the higher the possibility of success for the old marshal and his men.

"How is the result?"

Liu Bai asked curiously.

"We can't say it's very good, we can only say it's beyond our expectations." The old marshal gave a rare explanation.

"How long will it take?"

What Liu Bai asked was how long it would take for those true gods to wake up, but what he actually wanted to know was how much time he had left.

"Conservatively speaking, it should be another three years."

"But it certainly won't take that long, more than two years."

"Two years..."

Liu Bai murmured to himself, in two years, could he grow from this demigod throne to the state of enlightenment, or even higher?

It’s difficult, as difficult as climbing to heaven.

"Okay, this is the job for us old guys, so don't think about carrying everything on your shoulders like a kid."

The old marshal knows more than the real situation in this world.

I don’t know Liu Bai’s secret.

The only ones who knew were the seemingly real "origin of the world" and Madam Liu.

The old marshal even reached out and patted Liu Bai on the shoulder.

Liu Bai opened his mouth but no words came out.

"Well, you've been away from home for so long and it's been hard. Go back and have a good rest for a few days."

"Yes."

Liu Bai bowed again and was about to leave when the old marshal suddenly said, "By the way, Lord Lin Cen has returned to the forbidden area."

"He gave me this before he left and asked me to pass it on to you."

"Oh?"

Liu Bai reached out and took the letter handed to him by the old marshal. He did not hide it and opened it in front of the old marshal.

Inside was a locust leaf and a piece of white paper.

Huaiye Liubai was not very familiar with it, but there were a few words written on the white paper.

"Bai Zhe is in the taboo."
