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

Chapter 354 Death
When seeing the man's body, Liu Bai was still somewhat unbelieving and surprised.

He didn't even care about the evil spirits that were coming again nearby, but took the initiative to step forward and turn the body of the man over with his back facing him.

When he saw the familiar face, the blood hole that almost went through his chest, and the disappeared heart, he was sure that the body in front of him was really the straw hat boy.

Guanshan Moon.

When Liu Bai first came to Zou Yin City, he came with him, and they had more contact after coming to Zou Yin City.

Guan Shanyue even became good friends with Xu Changsheng, and they both could be considered old acquaintances of Liu Bai.

But now, he was lying here as a corpse.

Liu Bai's lips moved slightly.

The soul of the ghost who had just been rescued by him looked at the evil spirits gradually approaching, and couldn't help but move closer to Liu Bai.

"Master Chuanhuo, do you know this... this young man?"

"Yeah, old friend."

Liu Bai put Guan Shanyue's body into Xumi and had no time to look for Xu Changsheng's body nearby.

He stomped his feet lightly, and the golden life fire turned into a circle of fire, burning in all directions.

Wherever he passed, all evil spirits died.

He led the wandering ghosts he rescued along the way and wandered around the north of the Zou Yin City again, trying to save more wandering ghosts.

During this time he also passed by the temple.

Saw the scene inside.

All the statues disappeared, probably taken away into the sun, and the temple was empty.

Even the incense burners used to burn incense and accumulate ashes disappeared.

Liu Bai took a few glances and then left. During this time, he also saw the old temple keeper and the butcher, who had already crossed the Zouyin City and stayed outside the Yangguan to continue supervising the battle.

The demigod and these other-shore demons still haven't made a move.

But they did not stop Liu Bai and the others from rescuing people. I guess they felt that this would be of no help.

In the end, Liu Bai and the other three spent half a day.

After many twists and turns, he rescued another three or four hundred people. In the end, Zhang Cang used the art of crossing the river to send all the evil spirits into Yangguan.

It was at this time that Liu Bai came to Yangguan again after several months.

As soon as he came back, he arrived at the city wall of Yangguan. Compared with the previous Great Wall in the west, the city wall of Yangguan was incomparable.

Not only were the runes on the magic circle incomplete, but even this hastily erected magic circle was difficult to sustain.

So even though it is only the first day that the evil spirits have been attacking Yangguan, this pass known as the most powerful pass in the world is showing signs of being breached.

The reason why they can still hold on now is because there are still many previous arrangements of Zou Yin City on the Yin and Yang Mountains in the north and south of Yangguan, and there are also many formations for killing enemies in this yellow sand.

Otherwise, Yangguan City might not be able to be defended.

Liu Bai looked around the city wall and saw Zhang Cang and the old marshal supervising the battle, but he did not see Madam Liu.

Just as he was looking around and thinking about going forward to ask Zhang Cang, he suddenly felt a familiar breath rising in the city. Who else could it be but Madam Liu?

Liu Bai fled from the top of the city wall and went straight to a courtyard in Yangguan City.

At this time, the whole population of Yangguan City was mobilized as soldiers. Most of the people who could still fight went to the top of the city walls, while those who were slightly inferior worked as helpers in the city's markets.

The next ones have begun to retreat into the interior, preparing to use this vast inland area to gradually devour these evil spirits.

When Liu Bai came to the yard, he saw Madam Liu and Peach Blossom Fairy sitting there.

"mother."

Liu Bai called out, and Madam Liu glanced at him indifferently and then looked away.

On the contrary, Peach Blossom Fairy looked at him with much kinder eyes.

No matter what, Liu Bai really saved her life.

"Mom, do we have to wait until Yangguan is broken before we take action?"

There were some questions that Zhang Cang and the others were not comfortable asking and did not dare to ask, but it was okay for Liu Bai to ask.

And no matter whether it was the Madam Liu that Liu Bai met when he came out of seclusion to the forbidden area, or the Madam Liu that he met here now.

He could clearly feel that Madam Liu was calming down.

Liu Bai had never seen his mother in this state before, no matter when it was before, even when Liu Bai thought it was the most dangerous time, when the Forbidden Throne came to attack him.

Madam Liu acted as if she was sure of victory and had everything under control.

But this time... Liu Bai felt that Madam Liu was determined to fight to the death.

"No, it'll be soon."

Madam Liu said softly with no expression on her face.

When Liu Bai saw Madam Liu in this state, he felt a sudden pang in his heart. He didn't care about the dust and blood on his body, and hurried forward to her side.

Madam Liu frowned subconsciously and was about to tell him to get out.

But when she met Liu Bai's gaze, she couldn't help but feel soft-hearted, and said softly: "It's a small matter, why are you worried."

Seeing this, Peach Blossom Fairy tactfully went into the house, leaving the mother and daughter in the yard.

“There are always some concerns.”

Liu Bai said with his head lowered.

"It's okay, they can't do anything to me." Even leaning on the soft chair, Liu Bai could feel the domineering attitude of Madam Liu when she said this.

"Okay, I believe you!"

Liu Bai said through gritted teeth.

"Well, let's go."

"He's all dirty."

Madam Liu said in a gentle voice.

Liu Bai was about to leave, as if he had thought of something, or had finally asked something. He said softly, "Mom, then I..."

He pointed at himself.

Madam Liu knew what Liu Bai was asking, but because she knew it, she, who had been so relaxed until now, sat up this time.

Not only did they sit up, they also used restrictions to isolate the inside and outside.

So that the Peach Blossom Fairy in the house could not hear anything.

"You call it over."

Madam Liu also didn't say who it was.

But Liu Bai responded with a "OK". Then Liu Bai placed a shrine out of thin air in the courtyard. However, compared with the previous formal shrine, this shrine was extremely small.

In other words, most of the shrines are underground.

On the surface, the only thing standing in the courtyard was the temple.

Liu Bai turned around, pushed open his temple, and shouted straight inside: "Come out, my mother wants to see you."

Immediately afterwards, he felt a mysterious aura appearing in his temple.

That familiar voice, neither male nor female, appeared in the Liu Bai Temple, but it did not dare to show up, or it might be that it did not have a physical body.

Not to mention showing up.

"It's already this late, and everyone is watching, why did you ask me to come over here?"

This ghost thing behaves completely differently in front of Liu Bai and in front of Madam Liu. At this moment, there is even a hint of complaint in its voice, so it deliberately lowers its voice.

"I won't let my son participate unless I'm absolutely sure."

Madam Liu said coldly after she stood up.

"Completely sure?"

"Just you guys and me... How is this possible?!"

The world consciousness seemed to have heard a huge joke, but it couldn't laugh out loud, so it just felt it was a bit ridiculous.

"I'm not asking for your opinion, nor am I discussing this with you. I'm just telling you this."

After saying this, Madam Liu sat back down.

"We will do our best, and the rest depends on your will."

Not sure if it was an illusion, Liu Bai even felt that Lady Liu was sneering when she said this. Then a long sigh sounded from inside Liu Bai's temple.

The world consciousness then withdrew from this place, as if it was really afraid of being noticed by those in the sky if it was not careful.

Liu Bai put away the shrine, changed his clothes and went to the top of the city again.

Rest... There is nothing to rest for now, so you have to move while you can.

As soon as he arrived at the city wall, he heard some news that might not be very good.

After the fall of Zouyin City, the Qin State could not sustain the attack even if the emperor led the army in person.

Their pressure did not come entirely from the Great Wall in the west, but after the fall of Zouyin City, they had to divert part of their forces to guard the south.

As one side gained strength while the other lost strength, neither side could hold on.

After listening to Zhang Cang's words, Liu Bai tore off a page of the book and threw it out. In an instant, golden fire burned all over the place.

Killed countless evil spirits.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

It also attracted the attention of the butcher and the old temple priest on the east side of Zouyin City.

"Won't their thrones take action too?"

"I'm afraid they will have to wait until a few of us take action before they can continue."

"Then why don't we just go all in?"

After Liu Bai finished asking, he understood from Zhang Cang's bitter smile, "Some will die, some will be injured. If we force our way in, it will only bring madness to the forbidden side."

"Why not take this opportunity to wait until both of us have recovered a little before continuing the decisive battle."

The old marshal rarely explained.

Liu Bai nodded slightly, and a landscape map of the entire world appeared in his mind. After thinking for a moment, he said seriously: "Chu State, which states have you made plans to capture?"

Zhang Cang turned his head slightly and glanced at the fire bearer who finally got to know the important things.

"West of Mount Xian."

Liu Bai understood, the farthest they could go was Xiangzhou, and not going to Yunzhou was the bottom line.

This also reminded Liu Bai of some things that happened in Yunzhou before. As early as when he was in Yunzhou, Zhang Cang had already made some arrangements on Mount Xian.

Fan Yuanyi, the governor of Yunzhou at that time, was his pawn.

But...did Old Deng really have figured all this out so long ago?

Liu Bai couldn't help but look at Zhang Cang deeply.

The latter didn't feel anything either, he just looked up at the sky, and then said softly: "The real tough battle hasn't even started yet, Lord Chuanhuo, don't take it lightly."

"And by then, we humans will still have to participate in some of the demonstrations."

Liu Bai knew about this, for example, the black wood that could burn gods, and the two leaders of the Ghost and God Sect who did not betray the human race but betrayed the true God.

"Perhaps after this battle, the burden of our human race will be shouldered by Lord Chuanhuo."

Zhang Cang suddenly changed the subject and spoke seriously.

"Hehe, hehe."

"Then there is you, the Supervisor."

Liu Baiqiang laughed and stopped worrying about it. He continued to deal with the evil spirit outside Yangguan.

Until the next morning.

The evil spirit's attack slowed down a little, and Zhang Cang immediately reported to Liu Bai, the Fire Bearer, and asked him to order all the ghosts below the level of Yuanshen to retreat back to the pass. As for where to go... it was up to them.

Just don't stay near the sun to avoid too many casualties too quickly.

Once these words were spread, it was almost like saying that Yangguan could no longer be defended.

Although everyone has known about this for a long time, it is still difficult to accept when it is brought to light now.

Retreat from Yincheng to Yangguan.

Now we have to retreat again and again, but where can we retreat to further?
Behind me are the lights of thousands of homes of the human race!

Therefore, when this news came out, many people returned to the interior of the country. However, there were still a lot of people who were hiding in the city of Yangguan, loudly rebuking and questioning the old marshal why he hadn't taken action yet.

Could it be that he is afraid of forbidden means?

But among the human race, even those who have attained enlightenment and walked through the underworld have suffered so many casualties. Are you, old Marshal, the only one who values ​​his life?
The old marshal heard a lot but said nothing.

I just endured these insults silently.

After all, although there are many people who come here to seek the Yin, there are more who have not come. They are still on the top of the city, on the Yin and Yang Mountains, silently supporting themselves, even if they will eventually pay with their lives.

After enduring for a long time, Liu Bai finally gave up and went back to rest for half a day.

During this time, several better practitioners came to the top of the city to help guard the city, including Ma Zhi, Meng Ren and A Dao.

After resting for half a day, Liu Bai went out again, only to find that Yangguan City looked like it had been looted.

The desolate place was everywhere, and people were fleeing for their lives everywhere.

It was a mess.

After all, just a few days ago, Yangguan was still used as the rear camp, and many of the markets and arrangements in the front were located here.

Now, in just a few short days, people are leaving in all directions.

In this case, how can we handle so many things?
Most of these people who escaped could only take away the Yin beads, and the other large items were left here.

Especially at this time, those who left were all Yin people below the level of Yuanshen. Among them, there were not many who even had Sumeru.

Liu Bai strolled around nearby, listening to the shouting and killing coming from the top of the city, and felt a little exhausted.

After wandering around for a while, he finally arrived at the west side of Yangguan City. Standing on the top of the city wall, he watched the people in the city hurriedly returning to the city.

He stared blankly for an unknown amount of time. Just as Liu Bai was preparing to return to the west to fight the enemy, he heard someone at the bottom of the city gate softly calling him "Master Liu".

The voice sounds vaguely familiar.

Liu Bai leaned over to look and saw that it was his old friend Xu Changsheng and Lin Dandan from Yunzhou. At this moment, they were no different from the other people who were traveling alone, all carrying bags, but they were standing on the side of the road, looking up.

Liu Bai stepped down from the top of the city wall and came to them.

Seeing that both of them were fine, Liu Bai was slightly happy. When he saw Guan Shanyue's body before, he was still worried whether something had happened to Xu Changsheng.

"Mr. Liu...Mr. Liu, I almost thought I would never see you again."

When Xu Changsheng opened his mouth, there was a hint of crying in his voice, but he also seemed a little happy.

Lin Dandan, who was standing by, quickly bumped him with her shoulder, and he realized that he had said the wrong thing.

Lin Dandan bowed in greeting.

"It's okay. Yangguan is in a mess here. It's better for you to go back early."

After Liu Bai finished speaking, he took out a small Sumeru from the Sumeru and placed it in Xu Changsheng's hand.

The latter glanced at it subconsciously and his expression changed immediately.

"Master Liu, this... this is too valuable."

"It's nothing to me, and I can't use it if I keep it. Instead of using it to fight evil spirits, I might as well burn it."

"But it will be very useful to you. Instead of delaying it here, why not kill a few more evil spirits for me when you return?"

Under Liu Bai's encouraging gaze, Xu Changsheng nodded vigorously, but then he thought of something and said hurriedly, "Master Liu, I have been asking for news about Guan Shanyue in Yangguan City these days, but I haven't seen him. If you see him, please tell him and tell him that I will retreat and meet at his house later."

"Do you know where his home is?" Liu Bai asked.

Xu Changsheng nodded subconsciously, "I know..."

Just after he finished speaking, he seemed to have thought of something, which was also the result he had been thinking about in the past few days but could not believe.

"Then please send him home."

After Liu Bai finished speaking, he swept his right hand in front of him.

In the open space between him and Xu Changsheng, there was a figure lying down.

Xu Changsheng lowered his head, looking at the face that couldn't be more familiar. His lips moved slightly, but he was speechless for a moment.

At this time, the setting sun was setting in the west, the wind was blowing over the city walls, and the voices of people fleeing for their lives were heard everywhere.

There are still many people alive here.

But many people died.
