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

Chapter 326 Free Gift
"Snapped--"

Before Liu Bai could make a move, the little ghost had already stood in front of Bai Zhe and slapped him hard.

He twisted his head 180 degrees and turned it to the back.

Peizifen had a blank expression on his face, looking as if it had nothing to do with him.

Bai Zhe was also stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect the little ghost to actually attack him.

After a long while, Bai Zhe carefully turned his head back and looked at the little ghost in front of him with a gloomy face.

"Fighting life and death with Liu Bai?"

"You too?"

The little ghost laughed grimly, "Get lost!"

Bai Zhe was furious... He was so angry that he almost said "Get out of here".

Seeing this, Liu Bai quickly tried to smooth things over. He crossed his arms over his chest and laughed, "I came to Taboo this time to find him. Now that you've driven him away, what should I do?"

"Oh?"

"Did he provoke you?"

The short kid turned around and asked back.

"I guess so. We had a fight and I killed him. I thought he was dead, but I didn't expect him to run to the forbidden area."

Liu Bai didn't hide it either.

"Oh, you? You want to kill me too?"

Bai Zhe looked at Liu Bai with disdain.

"look."

Liu Bai spread his hands and said to the little ghost: "He really deserves to die."

"I see it."

The little ghost, who was covered in black, used his right index finger to pick his ear, pulled out a stone stick as thin as a needle, and then pushed it hard on the mass grave.

A dull "bang" sound was heard.

The ground trembled slightly.

Even this mass grave sank a little.

Liu Bai also saw the kid's weapon from such a close distance. It was a stone stick, a gray stone stick. It didn't have any other special features except that it was heavy.

It was just this movement and the stone stick that made Liu Bai feel that it looked very much like an old friend.

"You want to take action?"

Bai Zhe unconsciously took a few steps back and looked at the little ghost in front of him with great caution.

"I'll kill him, and you'll fight me."

The little ghost ignored him and spoke directly to Liu Bai.

Bai Zhe finally panicked when he saw this. He looked towards the embryo grave and said in panic, "Brother, stop the little ghost quickly!"

Embryo Fen put his hands together and said with a smile: "Do you know why Master sent you here?"

"If it weren't for you, do you think Liu Bai would still come here now?"

Bai Zhe's eyes were filled with horror.

I saw Peizifen looking at him and saying two words silently.

"Bait."

Bai Zhe was about to escape, but then he felt a pain in his chest and found himself flying backwards.

He quickly summoned the ghost.

The dark fog was floating around, but... what was the use?
The little ghost jumped up from the top of the mountain, without releasing his ghost nest, but just swung the thick stone stick in his hand violently.

The whole person turned around on the spot. At first, the stone stick was only about eight feet long.

In an instant it became over a hundred feet long.

The stone stick swept into the fog with a sound of breaking through the air.

Bai Zhe's ghost den was dispelled instantly, and he himself was also hit with a cloud of blood mist, and then he broke through the air and flew into the clouds, like an arrow from a bow... being hit.

Bai Zhe, whose strength was unusual among evil spirits, had no power to resist this little ghost at all.

You'll just get beaten.

"Still want to run?"

The little ghost sneered and stood up from the ground, and the stone stick in his hand instantly returned to its original size.

His figure turned into a long black rainbow that penetrated the sky.

It only took a moment before a layer of blood rain fell from the sky.

Liu Bai reached out and caught one.

That is to say... Bai Zhe died immediately?
As soon as the thought came to his mind, the little ghost fell from the sky and landed in front of Liu Bai. He held the stone stick on his shoulders behind his head, with his hands hanging above it.

"I'll help you get your revenge."

"Now it's our turn to fight."

As the kid spoke, he raised his eyebrows at Liu Bai with a look of disdain.

Bai Zhe is arrogant, so is this little devil?
But...is Bai Zhe really dead?
Liu Bai glanced inside Xumi. When Lin Cenjun sent the news, he also put a locust leaf in the letter.

Today, the locust leaves are still green and tender.

Nothing has changed.

Liu Bai didn't think that Lin Cenjun would give him these useless locust leaves.

He must have his reasons for doing this, and it is most likely related to Bai Zhe.

He did not die inside the pass but came to the forbidden area instead, probably because of this locust leaf.

So Liu Bai looked down at the little ghost who was only half his height and said with a smile: "Do you think you really killed him?"

"Huh? What do you mean?" The little ghost frowned unhappily.

Then he turned his head and looked at the embryo grave beside him.

This ghost is the junior fellow of Embryo Fen, he must know the whole story.

Liu Bai also looked at the embryo grave right in front of him with a smile.

The latter had no choice but to say: "He is indeed not dead. He is a little special."

"You bird ghost, believe it or not, I will smash you to pieces with one stick!"

The little ghost was angry. He felt like he was being fooled, but more importantly, he felt like he had lost face in front of Liu Bai.

This was very embarrassing for him.

He had lost face, so he couldn't let his son have an easy time.

"Come with me."

Peizifen sighed and took out a locust leaf from his sleeve. It seemed to be of the same origin as the one in Liubaixumi.

After he took it out, a gray ghost fire began to burn in his right hand.

The locust leaves were burned into nothingness in an instant, and then the ghost fire spread rapidly as if it had absorbed some source of power.

Finally, a gray and fire portal formed in front of the three ghosts.

"Old Dragon Lord, I'll leave this to you first."

Peizifen said something, nodded to Liu Bai and the little ghost, then stepped into the door and disappeared.

"Don't worry."

An old voice came from the bottom of the lake.

Liu Bai and the little ghost looked at each other, but the little ghost didn't move, as if he was afraid that Liu Bai would run away.

In the end, Liu Bai was the first to step into the door.

As he took a step inside, the world began to spin. One second he was at the top of a mass grave, and the next moment he was in a huge valley.

The embryo grave that came in first was standing not far in front, and the little ghost followed in behind.

In front of me is a towering ancient tree.

An old locust tree.

Just as he arrived here, Liu Bai felt that the locust leaf in his Xumi seemed to be moving, and it seemed that they were of the same origin.

"Senior Huaiyin, please hand it over."

Peizifen stepped forward and bowed deeply, but his words were very rude.

It's not a discussion, it's a statement.

The towering locust tree was shaking violently, but surprisingly not a single leaf fell. Then an old human face appeared on the trunk of the ancient tree.

"That's not what you said when you led it out earlier."

"The past was the past, and the present is the present."

The embryo grave refused to give an inch.

The little ghost was even less good-tempered. It stretched out its right hand, and the stone stick immediately pierced into it, slamming it into the ground. It pointed its left finger at the old locust tree and cursed:
"I asked you to hand it over, why are you whining?"

"If you have the guts, then prove yourself to be the king of the throne. I'll give you some face. It's not even the throne, but I'm giving you face!"

Liu Bai folded his arms across his chest and just watched.

He looked as if the matter had nothing to do with him.

Besides, this matter itself has nothing to do with him, he is just a spectator.

"Hehe, hehe."

The face of the person on the old locust tree became more and more bitter. Its long eyebrows trembled, and the whole trunk began to shake violently.

"Mistaken me, the Bai family misled me!!"

Xiao Cao watched this scene and whispered in Liu Bai's mind: "This old man was probably tricked into coming to Taboo, saying how good this place is and that as long as he comes over, he will be able to obtain the throne soon."

"A bit like."

Baizhe actually has its locust leaves and is related to it, so this thing is most likely from within the Great Wall.

"Thank you, Senior Huaiyin."

When Embryo Fen stood up, a green locust fruit fell from the crown of the towering ancient tree. After it fell to the ground, the fruit cracked open, and a gray shadow rushed out and was about to leave.

It's fast, but the little devil's stick is even faster.

Before the gray shadow left, the little ghost's stone stick had already smashed it into the ground.

The gray shadow struggled for a moment and let out a scream.

But the little devil stirred it vigorously with his stone stick a few times, and the gray shadow... vanished into thin air.

The gap in strength between the two is too big.

Bai Zhe didn't have a chance to react at all.

If Liu Bai took action, the result would be similar.

It was the same attitude that Embryo Fen had shown before, to Embryo Fen, to the little ghost, and even to Ren Tu.

The only function of this Baizhe is to catch willow barbs.

Now that its role has been put to good use, there is naturally no need for it to stay alive.

This time it seemed like a quick death, not even the Yin Pearl was left behind. Liu Bai looked back at Xumi, and the locust leaf inside also disappeared into thin air with Bai Zhe's death.

This time, he should be really dead.

Seeing this, the little ghost looked up at the old locust tree in front of him, sneered, put the stone stick on his shoulder again, and turned to look at Liu Bai.

"What about now? Let's have a fight."

"Let's finish our business first."

"Business, what business can come before my little devil?"

Carrying the stone stick, it seems fearless.

"What if it's me?" A white bony hand suddenly appeared above the little ghost's head, pressing on its head, as if it would crush it if it disagreed with him.

Immediately, the bony hand seemed to exert a little force and pulled the little ghost behind it.

The little devil, who was originally very arrogant, now lowered his head like a child, and even put away the stone stick on his shoulder, just like a child who had made a mistake.

Liu Bai looked in the direction of the bony hand and saw a white skeleton covered in green clothes.

Above the green robe is a human head.

The white bones and skulls are on top of human heads.

At this moment, Liu Bai was looking at the man's face smiling at him.

The embryo grave that was originally standing in front of Liu Bai now went behind the evil spirit. In this way, the identity of the evil spirit became very obvious.

In other words, Liu Bai knew from the beginning who he would meet in this forbidden place.

The Lord of the Mass Grave.

Human butcher.

"Tsk, he is indeed the son of the Willow God, he is really a handsome man."

Ren Tu first praised him, then raised his two bony hands, bowed to Liu Bai and said, "Ren Tu greets Master Liu."

"You are too polite, Your Majesty."

Liu Bai returned the salute, then looked at the embryo grave and the butcher.

These two evil spirits look very much like humans.

This butcher still has a skeleton body, but the embryo tomb has even lost the skeleton body.

When the old locust tree behind saw the butcher coming, a wooden man walked out from its thick trunk.

He looks like an old man.

After coming out, it knelt down on both knees towards the butcher.

"Huaiyin has met Lord Rentu."

Ren Tu first nodded to Liu Bai, then turned around and looked at the old locust tree that was kneeling on the ground.

"From here go all the way south to the southernmost part, where there is an Old Willow Valley. Go there, and from now on it will be called Old Sophora Valley."

As the butcher spoke, he pointed to the south.

Huaiyin, who was originally kneeling on the ground, suddenly looked up when he heard this, his eyes unable to hide his joy.

Then he kowtowed heavily again.

"Thank you, Master Ren Tu. Thank you, Master Ren Tu."

"Well, remember to watch over there."

"Yes."

Huaiyin stood up and walked back into the trunk. Then Liu Bai saw that this huge ancient tree began to shrink rapidly.

But in just a few moments, it had become the size of a finger and finally disappeared into the ground.

Only a small hole no wider than two fingers was left on the ground, but it disappeared in a breath of time.

This old locust tree is gone just like that.

The means are indeed treacherous.

Just let this old locust tree go to the old willow valley... Liu Bai was a little confused.

"Once it goes there and gains a firm foothold, it can seek the throne." Seeing Liu Bai's confusion, Embryo Fen explained.

"If you go there, you can claim the throne? What about the old willow tree from before?"

The wood used by Liu Bai to cast the shrine came from it.

"It was originally a throne, but the Willow God took away part of its willow core, so it fell from the throne."

After Ren Tu finished explaining, he looked at the silent little ghost behind him.

Finally, his gaze fell on the embryo's grave.

"Young Master Liu, please go sit with me for a while. I'll leave the little ghost to you to take back."

He trailed off.

The little ghost sneered, turned into a black light and flew up, heading straight to the west, no one knew where he was going.

Ren Tu didn't care, he just turned around and said to Liu Baixu, "Please come in, Mr. Liu."

"A mass grave?"

Liu Bai has never been there, but he might go there to broaden his horizons.

"Exactly."

As Ren Tu nodded, a door appeared out of thin air and Liu Bai stepped in without hesitation.

Before the world was spinning, he had left the valley and arrived at a mountain top.

Xiaocao had never been here before, so he stood up and looked around curiously.

The fog was so thick that you could only see the area within a few feet.

Standing on the top of a small hill, looking down, you can vaguely see tombstones.

This situation is no different from the small mass grave at the embryo tomb.

It’s just that what were buried in that small mass grave were all the embryos of the throne, so what about the main body of the mass grave of Ren Tu?
Liu Bai squatted down and looked at the tombstone closest to him.

There are a few words written on it.

"The tomb of Lord Lincen."

And judging from the material and writing on the stone tablet, it should have been put up there not long ago.

The closer you get to the top of the mountain, the better the location, so the only tomb on the top of the mountain is reserved for the old temple keeper.

Even if there is no name written on the tombstone, Liu Bai can guess it.

And the tomb of Lincenjun was actually placed in the same place as that of the butcher.

Doesn’t this mean that Lin Cenjun… has succeeded?
He successfully replaced the two-headed dragon and became the leader of this forbidden water transport?

"Mr. Lincen is full of praise for Mr. Liu."

The laughing voice of Ren Tu came from behind Liu Bai.

"It's inevitable that the elders in the family like it more."

Liu Bai openly admitted the relationship, which made Tu stop laughing and say seriously, "I am a little envious of Mr. Liu."

"Not really."

Liu Bai waved his hand.

"Hmm?" Ren Tu was puzzled.

"There are so many people who envy me."

Liu Bai smiled and looked around. "I'm here now, and there's no tea, and there's not even a place to sit?"

"Yes, of course there is."

The butcher smiled and waved his sleeves, and Liu Bai found himself in a dim cave hall with a long wooden table in front of him.

From the looks of it, it's pretty similar to the place where they held their previous meeting at the embryo tomb.

At this time, Liu Bai was sitting in the position where the little ghost sat last time, and Ren Tu was sitting in the position of the embryo grave.

The two of them sat at the two ends of the long table.

Very far away.

Not only that, there was also a cup of hot green tea in front of Liu Bai, with no other condiments, which was no different from what Liu Bai drank inside the pass.

The same was true in front of the butcher. He held the teacup with his two bony hands and took a sip.

Liu Bai originally wanted to see if the tea he drank would leak out, but unfortunately, he saw nothing.

"Ren Tu...Senior, why do I always feel that you are more like a human than a ghost?"

Liu Bai held the teacup in both hands, but did not drink it. Instead, he asked the questions in his mind.

"Then according to Master Liu... is the Willow God like a human or a ghost?"

The butcher asked back with a smile.

"My mother?"

When Liu Bai heard this question, he really thought about it seriously.

But the butcher continued, "In other words, at our level, how big of a difference does it make whether you are a human or a ghost?"

"Look at the First Throne guarding the gate of the temple, the old temple keeper as you call him, and the old marshal who has been guarding the city for thousands of years, or the Willow God. Do you think there is really a big difference between humans and evil spirits in their eyes?"

"indeed."

Liu Bai thought about it carefully and found that it was indeed the case.

"Then why did you ask me to come here, Senior?"

"nothing."

The butcher still had that smiling face, "I have heard of Mr. Liu's great name, so I specially invited you to come over for a chat."

"That's pretty good."

Liu Bai felt that the tea was a little cold, so he picked it up and took a sip.

"I wonder what Master Liu thinks about the upcoming forbidden expedition to the east?" Ren Tu asked as if he was chatting casually.

"How can I see? With my eyes."

Liu Bai laughed.

Ren Tu ignored Liu Bai's ridicule and continued, "Actually, I was the one who pushed for this."

"You are very capable, senior."

Liu Bai exclaimed in praise.

"I don't have any skills. If I really had skills, I wouldn't be doing this in a snail shell."

"The forbidden chessboard is...too small."

"so?"

"So... we should use this world as a chessboard and all living beings as chess pieces, then we can have some fun."

When Ren Tu said this, he was very confident, and Liu Bai even saw a sense of high spirits in him.

But so what?
"What are you going to do in the sky?" Liu Bai asked directly.

The butcher smiled but said nothing.

I think he has a lot of plans, but he can't tell Liu Bai.

At the end, Ren Tu tapped the tabletop with his fingers. The sound of "dong dong" echoed in the cave hall. "When Lord Firebearer returns later, please say a word to the old marshal."

"Oh? Lord Ren Tu, please speak."

With the change of address, Liu Bai became more formal.

"Just tell him that before the Eastern Expedition, there will be no more evil spirits attacking the city, and ask him to prepare well. The next time we meet... it will be a decisive battle."

As Ren Tu spoke, he raised his head slightly, his voice also sounding somewhat emotional.

"it is good."

Liu Bai nodded and took note.

"Then there's nothing else. I'll go back first."

After Liu Bai finished speaking, Ren Tu stood up and asked with a smile: "Master Liu, do you really think... I look like a human?"

"picture."

Liu Bai said firmly after standing up.

Ren Tu put his hands together and said in a low voice, "Mr. Liu, do you think it is possible that... I am a human?"
