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

Chapter 331 Storm—Rising!

Liu Ruzhi, who was originally standing next to Liu Bai, disappeared like smoke and dust blown away by the wind.

The town in front of him remained the same, but Liu Bai's various experiences in this Miliang Town flashed before his eyes like a kaleidoscope.

Liu Bai didn't think about whether this was true or not.

He was just thinking, what had changed after he came back three times in a row?
It seems as if everything has changed every time, but when you think about it carefully, you find that... nothing has changed.

The world itself has its own rules, and countless results can be derived at every point in time.

Just like the next two times, it seemed that he saved himself, but in the end the woman still fell into the water.

Changing a point in time can still extend countless timelines behind it.

And this timeline...seems to be able to correct itself.

The woman who was supposed to fall into the water would still fall into the water even if he rescued her once, just at a different time.

But if that’s the case, then...what about myself?

Liu Bai couldn't help but recall the only time he used Time Return. Has anything changed?

He was severely beaten by Bai Jisheng who was possessed by Bai Fei, and had no choice but to use Time Return.

But even if I don't use it, can Bai Fei kill me?
I’m afraid not.

Madam Liu has kept so many tricks up her sleeve, some of which Liu Bai knows, and some of which he doesn't even know.

Not to mention the origin of the world that also receives special care.

So it seemed that Shi Hui allowed me to survive at that time, but even without Shi Hui, I would not die.

Back in time... time.

Liu Bai looked up at the boundless sky.

For a moment, he only felt that he was lying across a vast river of time, and he was as small as an ant in front of this river.

"It's time."

It is indeed something that even Madam Liu feels is vast and unattainable.

Just as Madam Liu said, Liu Bai could not understand anything. He only felt that time was vast and boundless.

Time...cannot be changed!
Just recalling the mysterious feeling of the time going back just now, Liu Bai silently comprehended and searched for that trace of feeling of time going back.

He didn't know how much time had passed, but no matter how he thought about it, he felt that... that was it.

The time for time travel should be increased to about ten breaths, and it can only travel back to oneself.

If you want to be like in this illusion, with unlimited time and the ability to affect others, forget it.

After all this, Liu Bai also sighed.

It seems that I overestimated my own understanding.

Immediately, he had a thought and left this blessed place.

While waiting for him to come out, he found that Liu Ruzhi had already been waiting there, and Liu Wenzhi was also there.

"Xiaobai, how about this blessed land of our Liu family?"

Liu Wenzhi asked with a smile.

"Very strong."

Liu Bai nodded and praised, then turned to look at Liu Ruzhi beside him.

The latter said: "I didn't realize anything, I just increased the time of time travel by two breaths."

Originally, Liu Bai could almost reverse three breaths of time.

Now there are ten.

It took seven breaths to improve it in one breath, but Liu Ruzhi only improved it for two breaths.

After comparing the two, Liu Bai felt that his talent was indeed pretty good.

Of course, the premise is that Liu Ruzhi is telling the truth.

"It's okay. I only increased the duration by five breaths."

Liu Bai naturally kept something in reserve and asked, "What did you experience in there?"

"By the river, mother and child fell into the water."

Liu Ruzhi only said a few words and Liu Bai knew it. They were indeed together at the beginning, but after Liu Ruzhi went back to save people, the two separated.

"Well, you can share your experiences with each other, maybe you can gain some insights."

After Liu Wenzhi finished speaking, he slowly walked down the mountain.

Liu Bai and Liu Ruzhi looked at each other, and in the end it was Liu Ruzhi who started telling the story first.

She went back to rescue the mother and son, but that night, the mother and son were killed by a water ghost that came ashore.

There was indeed a water ghost in that small puddle.

When Liu Bai possessed the little boy, he also felt it, felt the hand that was pulling him from below.

Liu Ruzhi didn't do anything about it afterwards, and as a result, the water ghost killed the mother and son and then haunted her again.

In desperation, she had to use the method of ghost walking to get rid of the water ghost.

She also saw the lives of those people like a revolving lantern. Until it ended, Liu Ruzhi found that she was possessed by the man who was digging sand, and the timeline was before that digging.

The reason why he went there to dig sand was because he had received a dream from the water ghost.

He said there was gold under the water, so he went to dig in the sand.

The man before would believe it, but Liu Ruzhi naturally wouldn't believe it.

This time she directly attracted the God of Land and killed the water ghost in advance, but the next day she still heard the news of the death of the mother and son.

The reason was that the mother and son went to wash clothes and fell into the water and drowned.

From that moment on, Liu Ruzhi knew that no matter what she did, what could not be changed could not be changed.

Afterwards, Liu Bai told Liu Ruzhi roughly what he had experienced.

The latter listened carefully but did not understand anything. He just felt that time was obscure and unpredictable.

Soon the two of them went down the mountain.

Liu Bai returned to Lady Liu's yard, but only saw grass there.

"This is just a consciousness left by the queen. The queen has been here for a while, and she must leave now."

Xiao Cao said, tilting his head.

"Oh, you think I'm as stupid as you, don't you?"

Liu Bai rolled his eyes, took one last look at the yard, and then left.

Xiao Cao: “???”

"Sir, just say what you want to say. Why are you calling me Xiaocao?!"

"Do you want to fight with me, Xiaocao?"

In the next two days, Liu Bai was not in a hurry to go back to the underworld. Instead, he was led by Liu Wenzhi to wander around Nanshan and appreciate the scenery of the Liu family.

The reason why Liu Bai was willing was because of something Xiaocao said.

"Young Master, you are following the path that the Queen has walked."

Liu Bai decided to stay in the Liu family for a few more days.

After finishing her tour, Liu Ruzhi also needs to stay in the Liu family to polish her shrine couplets. Once her extremely long shrine couplets are polished, they will be extremely powerful.

Compared to going to Yincheng, it is naturally more convenient to polish it at Liu's house.

The family can also help out more.

Liu He originally said that she was going to send Liu Bai back to Zou Yin City, but after Liu Bai called out Heimu on the spot, she was frightened instead.

A Taoist priest had been guarding near the Liu family, but she didn't notice it at all.

This in itself is a terrible thing.

"Brother Wenzhi knows me."

When Hei Mu saw this, he took the initiative to explain.

Liu He hurriedly greeted him, "Greetings, Senior Hei Mu."

"Ah."

"Are you going back now, sir?"

"Let me say hello to Uncle Wen first."

As soon as Liu Bai finished speaking, Liu Wenzhi had already arrived in front of the Liu family, and they exchanged some pleasantries.

Liu Wenzhi then put his hands together and said to Liu Bai with a smile: "Okay, go ahead, be careful outside, and come visit Uncle Wen often if you have time."

"Will do."

After Liu Bai nodded, he was led by Hei Mu and the two of them headed straight south.

Another day passed and the Fire Bearer returned to Zouyin City.

I was only away for a few days, and from the outside, it seemed that nothing had changed in Zouyin City.

After Liu Bai returned to Chuanhuo Mansion and met Zhang Cang, he found that it was indeed the case.

The old marshal gave me half a year of rest, and now less than three months have passed, not even halfway.

The entire Zouyin City was quite peaceful.

After resting for a few days, Liu Bai also lived a life like a retired person.

I ate, drank and practiced all day long, and two months passed like this.

During these two months, Liu Bai finally replenished his missing energy, blood and spirituality, and sat firmly on the honorable throne of the primordial spirit.

Among the other geniuses, only Qi Yin could worthy of the throne.

But it is also very difficult and has not yet stabilized.

It can be said that Liu Bai has once again surpassed all the geniuses, and he has already secretly tried to sit on the throne of the original self.

Although it didn't succeed, at least there was a glimmer of hope.

Once the deity sits high in the shrine, he will be able to get a glimpse of the mystery of the manifestation of the deity.

After successfully manifesting your divinity, you can try to go to the place where the gods fell to prove your truth. Then... there will be hope for everything.

In the early morning, with a beautiful dream in his heart, Liu Bai came to Chuanhuo Mansion to take up duty.

Even though he can't help much, he can come and sit with us from time to time so that everyone knows that he, the Fire Bearer, is not just there to do nothing.

As soon as he entered the door that day, he saw Xu Wenyuan walking out.

"Hey, Lord Chuanhuo, it's just right. The Supervisor sent me to look for you."

Xu Wenyuan bowed.

"The Supervisor is looking for me?" This happens relatively rarely, especially after being idle for a few months.

When Liu Bai entered the hall, Zhang Cang stood up and said, "Greetings, Lord Chuanhuo."

"what happened?"

"The forbidden area... has started to move."

When Zhang Cang said this, he breathed a sigh of relief. It had been quiet for such a long time. If there really was no movement on the taboo side, that would be unsettling.

Now that Taboo had finally taken some action, Zhang Cang felt relieved.

"Oh?"

Liu Bai came to his old seat and sat down. Zhang Cang had already prepared morning tea for him.

"As Lord Chuanhuo said before, there are rumors in the city that before the Eastern Expedition, there will be no more evil spirits attacking the city from the forbidden side."

"Have you found the source? Can you find a few more spies?"

Liu Bai picked up the green tea and took a sip. The temperature was just right, slightly hot but not scalding.

Dealing with Zhang Cang is a pleasure.

Of course, the prerequisite is that you are his superior, not his subordinate. It is still very difficult to work under him, as there are many things to do and they are detailed.

"I have already sent people to investigate. This news did not come from the city. It was heard by the ghost walkers in the city from the mouths of those evil spirits in the taboo."

Without waiting for Liu Bai to ask further questions, Zhang Cang continued, "Those people have good backgrounds, they are not spies, they just happened to hear the news."

"Ok."

There was a hint of regret in Liu Bai's voice.

It seems that they have learned the taboo well, and the few spies are well protected by them.

Otherwise, how great would it be if we could take this opportunity to pull out the last few remaining nails?

"Then let's proceed according to plan."

Liu Bai ordered.

Liu Bai and his colleagues had anticipated this matter half a year in advance, so they had prepared extremely comprehensive countermeasures. Now they only had to follow the instructions step by step.

"Yes."

Zhang Cang bowed and did not move, but his clone had already started to act.

"The old marshal ordered that the leaders of the Wei Kingdom's divine religions will come over in the near future to discuss the final matters."

"After meeting with the leaders of these divine sects, the ancestors of the eight great families will also come over."

"After these two rounds, all the idle people in the inner city who are practicing Taoism and walking in the dark will also be invited to come for the final discussion and arrangements."

As soon as these words were spoken, Liu Bai felt a storm was about to come.

Not only him, even Zhang Cang breathed a sigh of relief.

The pressure...is enormous.

"Sir, would you like to take a walk on the city wall?"

Zhang Cang suggested.

"Okay."

After saying this, the two of them had already arrived at the top of the city wall, still appearing not far from the old marshal. Liu Bai faced the west, his eyes jumping far away, but all he saw was still a vast expanse of yellow sand.

Zhang Cang came and sat down next to the old marshal.

"After watching for a few days, have you figured out anything?" Zhang Cang asked.

"More, much more, much more than we expected."

The old marshal spoke in a heavy voice, and even Zhang Cang looked embarrassed after he finished speaking.

"What do you mean a lot? Evil spirits?"

Liu Bai turned around and asked.

"Well, to be precise, there are many evil spirits in this throne."

Zhang Cang nodded and said, since the old marshal has already seen it, there is no need to hide it from Liu Bai.

"In addition to the thrones we have seen so far, there are actually many more that have been hidden away by the old temple keeper."

"It is hidden under the ground of that sacred mountain."

Zhang Cang said slowly and eloquently: "These days the old marshal has been watching to see how many thrones this old temple keeper has hidden. Now it seems... a lot."

Liu Bai looked at the silent old marshal.

"A lot, how many?"

The old marshal said slowly: "We humans have about thirty people who have attained the Way, and there are more forbidden thrones, probably... eighty or ninety."

"what?"

The one who shouted in surprise was not Liu Bai, but Zhang Cang.

But this news is indeed surprising enough.

As far as Liu Bai knows, there are about forty evil spirits on the throne, which is at most a few more than the number of human beings who have attained enlightenment. That is why he feels that this forbidden expedition to the east is threatening, but not very big.

But now I heard from the old marshal... the evil spirit on the throne is almost twice as strong as that of the human race.

Among the human race's disciples, like Xuandaoguan, Heimu and others, it might not be a problem for them to fight one against two.

But what about others?

But not everyone who attains enlightenment has their strength.

There are different levels of enlightenment.

"This... this may be a bit difficult."

Zhang Cang's face became increasingly ugly.

"There is still some time. We should urge those who have the hope of attaining enlightenment to take that step as soon as possible. As for others, people like you should go ashore as soon as possible. If we can have one more demigod on our side, it will be much more useful than attaining enlightenment."

The old marshal still looked nonchalant, as if he didn't take these things to heart.

At least there's no sign of pressure on him.

"Well, I'll urge them to come over to discuss the matter as soon as possible, so as to put some pressure on them."

It seemed that Zhang Cang came here just to verify this question. After getting the answer from the old marshal, he went back.

Liu Bai looked back at Zouyin City.

Ever since the news was brought back from outside the city, people in the city seemed to be relieved.

Many of the ghost walkers start to get drunk, and often stay drunk for several days.

"If Taboo chooses to attack the city at this time, we will be in great trouble." Liu Bai said as he looked at everything in the city.

"It doesn't matter."

The old marshal said it easily.

Liu Bai turned around and glanced at him, "Hmm?"

"I'll take action."

The old marshal said slowly.

At this moment, Liu Bai seemed to see a sense of joy in him that had been accumulating for a long time and was ready to take action.

"You've taken action, aren't you afraid that the old temple keeper will follow suit?"

"He broke the rules before, he doesn't dare to do that."

When Liu Bai heard this, he understood that the old marshal was certain that Ren Tu would not break the rules.

"In a few days, I plan to have the Sword Officer go to a forbidden area to see if there is a chance to use the sword. The city is now in your hands."

This was the first time the old marshal gave such an order.

But isn’t the old marshal himself still in this city?

When Liu Bai was confused, the old marshal took the initiative to say: "Your mother and I are going to the God's Falling Land together to collect samples."

"With my mother?"

Liu Bai’s first reaction was: What the hell, they actually wanted the old marshal to go with his mother?

Who can two demigods use the things they go to get together to deal with?
I’m afraid even the old temple keeper is not qualified. Could it be that it is used to deal with... those in the sky?

"Well, don't worry, old Marshal."

After Liu Bai finished speaking, he left the city wall, but he did not go back to Chuanhuo Mansion. Instead, he walked around in Zouyin City in stealth, watching what was happening in the city.

At first, people in Zouyin City were still immersed in the relaxation of the taboo of not attacking the city.

But by the next day, there were different voices in the city.

Why didn't Taboo attack the city for no reason?
Naturally, they were frightened by the attacks from Zou Yin City. Several thrones died one after another, but on the Zou Yin City side, not a single one of the proverbial people died at the hands of the evil spirits.

If this happens a few more times, I'm afraid all the thrones in the forbidden area will be destroyed.

It is precisely because of this that the evil spirits in the taboo dare not attack the city. In a nutshell, it can be summed up in one sentence.

"Taboo, I'm scared of being beaten!"

This news was first spread by Adao, and after him, many drunken ghost walkers believed it.

If not, can you give an individual suitable explanation?
After the news spread throughout the city, many ghost walkers began to gather together to form a team and prepare to take the initiative to attack the taboo.

They planned to penetrate deep into the forbidden zone in one fell swoop, and it would be best if they could defeat the evil spirits so that they would not dare to march eastward.

For this purpose, Zouyin City sent out several Taoists to sit on the city wall and guard the western border.

This is to prevent the throne in the taboo from launching a sneak attack and killing too many sneak killers.

When marching west from Yincheng, it is forbidden to stay indoors.

In comparison, the taboo seems really timid.

On this morning when the morale of Zouyin City was high, Liu Bai and Zhang Cang arrived at the top of the city wall and saw only an empty shell of the old marshal.

His original body went to the legendary...place where gods fell.

Accompanying him was Madam Liu.

Liu Bai looked around and asked, "Supervisor, everyone is talking about this place where the gods fell, but where exactly is this place where the gods fell?"

"The place where the gods fell."

Zhang Cang turned his head to the north and said slowly: "Go all the way north, after passing the northern wilderness and reaching the North Sea, go north again and you will reach a chaotic land. That is the place where the gods fell."

Just at this moment, Zhang Cang finished speaking.

A loud laugh came from the east, so loud that it could be heard throughout the whole city.

"Old Marshal, I am from Meng and I am here to pay my respects."
