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

"Three months."

The voice of the origin of the world is accompanied by a sigh.

Liu Bai even said "Hmm?", "So fast?"

"There is no time in the fantasy world. You have even eaten two of these vines. How can the time that has passed be short?"

"Moreover, once you eat the Despair Vine, you will have a lot of thoughts. If you follow a thought and take a look, several days will have passed."

Liu Bai was silent for a moment after hearing what the Origin of the World said, and then asked:
"Where's the old yin man? Is he dead?"

"Alive."

The origin of the world answered fluently.

Liu Bai nodded slightly, looked around again, and finally without hesitation, strode towards the front yard.

Facts have proved that as long as you don't fall into that illusion world and have your soul absorbed by the Luo family compound.

So this compound is still very safe.

Especially without that damn alien species.

He had already looked around before, and now Liu Bai had no intention of wandering around anymore, but went straight to the door.

When I looked outside from here before, it was chaos.

But now it seems that the outside is exactly the same as before. He struggled out of the fantasy world and got rid of the ghost fog.

It’s a pity that I didn’t achieve enlightenment here.

Liu Bai couldn't help but sigh in his heart, then took a step forward and passed through another barrier. When he looked back in a daze, he realized that he had already walked out of the Luo family compound.

The entrance remained the same, and facing in front was a swamp called "Lost Ghost Lake". Wisps of gray mist were floating in the air, perfuming people's minds.

However, Liu Bai waited at the door for a while before he saw a muddy creature jumping out of the swamp with a strong aura. He subconsciously wanted to use his power to kill it.

But at the last moment, this thing hurriedly whispered: "Sir, it's me! The old yin man!"

Liu Bai just stopped and saw something standing still in front of him. Upon closer inspection, he found that it was actually the white deer.

But now he should be called Black Deer. His whole body is covered with rotten and smelly mud, and his original breath can no longer be felt.

All I have is the feeling of being assimilated into this swamp.

"Hehe, if you don't disguise yourself like this, you won't be able to survive in this place where the gods fell." The old sinister man also saw Liu Bai's confusion and hurriedly explained.

Then he discovered something and immediately bowed to Liu Bai, "Congratulations, sir. Congratulations, sir."

"You haven't even attained enlightenment yet, so there's nothing to congratulate."

Liu Bai waved his hands, not looking happy at all.

"We still have the Soul Purifying Cliff. Young Master's mind is now harmonious and his desire to attain enlightenment is overflowing from his body. If he goes to the Soul Purifying Cliff to attain enlightenment, it will be a piece of cake."

The old sinister man looked even happier than Liu Bai himself.

"Okay, you lead the way, let's go over there first."

"Yes."

The old Yinren had been here for several months and seemed to be very familiar with the place. He didn't even need to identify the direction and led Liu Bai to the west.

……

Go to Yincheng and reach the western city wall.

Originally the old marshal was guarding the city wall, but now it has become Zhang Cang and Hei Mu.

However, their positions changed slightly, and they both avoided the place where the old marshal was previously.

At this time, Zhang Cang was holding the damaged city wall and looking towards the west.

Hei Mu was still half a body length behind him. "Qin Ping just sent me a message saying that the evil spirits in the Yin City have been almost cleared out. The remaining ones hiding are at most wandering evil spirits."

"Well, he has worked hard during this period."

Zhang Cang retracted his gaze and sighed.

"Well, the next step is to rebuild the Zou Yin City. They asked me to ask, according to what specifications will the Zou Yin City be rebuilt?"

“Or when will the reconstruction begin?”

“Rebuild?” Zhang Cang subconsciously looked up, then slowly shook his head, “No rebuild.”

Kuroki kept silent.

Zhang Cang said to himself: "If the matter in heaven cannot be resolved, then this world will also be destroyed, and then there is no need to worry about going to Yincheng."

"If the matter in heaven is resolved, then with the strength of our human race, the offensive and defensive situation will be different."

"This Western Great Wall is no longer used to protect us, but to protect the evil spirits in this taboo. There is no need to go to Yincheng anymore."

After hearing this, Hei Mu seemed to agree with it. "For thousands of years, the old marshal and this Zou Yin City have protected too many people and kept the interior of the country peaceful for too long."

"Like the nine great families of the past, and the tens of millions of common people in this pass, there are not even a few demigods."

Zhang Cang laughed after hearing this and said, "Aren't there several people who have come out now? You, Adao, and Liu Wenzhi have all made it."

"Different."

Hei Mu put his hands together in his sleeves, took a step forward and said: "Now the sky is about to collapse, which puts them under the pressure of life and death. Besides..."

Hei Mu smiled and said, "Liu Wenzhi and I are both from thousands of years ago. If we really count them all, there is only A Dao."

“He’s a character.”

Zhang Cang put away the smile on his face, "If there hadn't been this battle, he would have been able to attain the status of a True God in due course."

"If there hadn't been this battle, he wouldn't have been able to take this step so quickly." Hei Mu said immediately.

Zhang Cang laughed again after hearing this.

"Then let's go back to the topic we talked about a few days ago. Is it heroes who create the times, or is it the times that create heroes?"

But Hei Mu did not discuss this useless topic any more, and instead asked softly: "In the sky..."

"The news that Ren Tu sent back yesterday took at least three to five months."

Zhang Cang did not hide it.

"There are only us left, and there is Liu Shen..." Hei Mu turned back to the east, "Does the Supervisor have any news?"

"I watched from afar a few days ago, but I felt it was so powerful that I didn't dare to get close."

When Zhang Cang said this, his voice became much louder.

Hei Mu said "hmm", and his originally frowned brows relaxed subconsciously. In the current situation, only the news from Liu Qingyi could bring them a little comfort.

This is true even for Heimu, who has become a demigod.

"Do you think that the path to enlightenment in Yincheng is actually better than that in the inner part of the pass, and in many cases, you can live longer?"

Zhang Cang suddenly said something for no reason.

Hei Mu was slightly stunned, as if he didn't expect Zhang Cang to say this, but since he asked, he nodded.

"That's true. I'm not the only one who thinks so. The few of us who survived all felt the same way when we were chatting."

"hehe."

Zhang Cang smiled and suddenly took a step forward and disappeared.

"Come with me."

Although Hei Mu was confused, he still followed.

Heimu didn't know at first that there was a small paradise on the top of the Great Wall of the West, but after he was promoted to demigod, he saw it.

But Zhang Cang never said anything, so he didn't go to investigate without permission.

And now that Zhang Cang took the initiative to bring him in, it meant that Zhang Cang had basically revealed his cards.

He is also a demigod.

Although Hei Mu had guessed this a long time ago, Zhang Cang's admission at this time... felt unusual.

After coming in, Heimu finally saw the whole picture of this small cave.

The two people appeared on a stone platform halfway up the mountain, but even though they were halfway up the mountain, they were still above the sea of ​​clouds.

Behind the stone platform, there is a thatched cottage, and other than that there is only the mountain.

There are still mountains connected to mountains.

Zhang Cang took two steps forward and arrived at the stone platform, overlooking the endless sea of ​​clouds. "Come and see for yourself."

Although Hei Mu was suspicious, he still took a few steps forward and looked down. But after just one glance, his eyes subconsciously widened and he cried out in surprise.

"Wha...what?!"

“Now you know.”

Zhang Cang sighed, his voice a little low, "How can I be better than others or live longer than others?"

"Do you really think that the old marshal, who has been sitting on this city wall for thousands of years, is inferior to the old temple priest?"

"It's just that he is supporting the entire Zouyin City, and even the entire...human race."

Zhang Cang said this and then slowly raised his head, feeling endless sorrow.

Hei Mu's lips moved slightly, as if he had thousands of words on his lips, but he didn't know where to start.

Zhang Cang still said: "Do you really think that if the old marshal's talent was so poor, he would be jointly recommended by the three major countries at that time to become the lord of Zouyin City?"

"Could it be that he really got the title of marshal for nothing?"

"Also, everyone in the city at that time thought that the old marshal had a good temper and was easy to talk to, but in fact... among his group of people, he had the worst temper."

"It's just that I have no choice. I just have no choice."

Kuroki finally started talking.

Zhang Cang then withdrew his gaze and lowered his head to look at the sea of ​​clouds below him again.

Hei Mu was also watching. Both of them were demigods, so their gazes could easily penetrate the surface and reach the depths of the sea of ​​clouds.

I saw that there were densely packed corpses at the bottom of the sea of ​​clouds, and some were floating scattered in the air above the sea of ​​clouds.

Hei Mu's eyes swept over the corpses at the bottom of Yunhai. It was not difficult to see that many of them were acquaintances.

Ma Dingguo, the officer with a sword hanging on his head, Meng Taichong, Shangguan Fengyue...

In addition to these teachings, there are many other manifestations of God.

Anyone who can come to this sea of ​​clouds has been saved by the old marshal.

Therefore, those countless corpses under the sea of ​​clouds were actually those who had received the old marshal's kindness and had their lives saved by him without knowing it.

But even so, they still died... But this does not mean that their previous deaths were in vain.

Instead, it fell firmly on the old marshal.

"I am not as good as the old marshal... by a long way."

Zhang Cang sighed.

After a while, the two figures reappeared on the top of the city wall. After a long silence, Hei Mu suddenly asked, "What about Master Liu? How is it going?"

"Take that old yin man with you and go to the Land of God's Fall to prove your truth."

"Of course I know that. I was asking him about his enlightenment...how is it going?"

"..."

"Disaster."

Liu Bai looked at the towering mountains in front of him and shook his head slightly.

The old man became anxious and said quickly, "Sir, how can you be afraid before the battle? This is not a good thing."

"I just made the worst-case scenario plan in advance, so as to avoid the situation here, and still not being able to prove the great Dao and then having my Dao heart shattered."

"My Lord, your opinion is profound. I admire it."

No matter what the old man says, he is never wrong.

"You should also be prepared to go to the Tomb of Ten Thousand Corpses with me again."

If I really can't achieve the Great Dao by then, and the Soul-Cleansing Cliff has used up all the Misfortune Vine, then I'll have to go pick a few more.

"I am willing to die for you, sir."

"hehe."

Liu Bai ignored the old sinister man's flattery and instead looked up at the Soul-Cleansing Cliff that was higher than the clouds.

The map prepared for him by the Origin of this World immediately appeared in his mind. Among the vast mountains, a crooked red line went straight into the clouds.

Liu Bai did not delay any longer and disappeared from the spot in an instant.

When the old Yin man looked again, he saw that his figure had already flashed among the mountains.

The old sinister man looked around and chose a direction to run away, but this time he didn't go far to make sure that Liu Bai could see him.

After a while, Liu Bai finally arrived at the place near the clouds after avoiding more than a dozen alien species.

As soon as he arrived here, he heard the whistling wind coming from above the clouds.

Just listening to it made him tremble all over.

If he sticks his head out, he will be in danger of being killed. If he hides his head, he will also be in danger of being killed. Naturally, he cannot be afraid at this moment.

As soon as he stepped into the clouds, he was nearly blown down by the soul-cleansing wind. After he staggered and stood firm, he felt the bone-chilling cold again.

This layer of clouds can withstand the blowing of the Soul-Purifying Wind. It's truly extraordinary.

Liu Bai took a long time to relax before he started to climb again. Unlike the big strides he took at the foot of the mountain, up here he felt it was quite difficult to walk.

The only thing that can be thankful for is that there are no more alien species in the place where the soul-purifying wind blows, otherwise, no one would be able to get down the mountain alive under the double attack.

The cloud layer was only a few dozen feet thick, but it took Liu Bai three days to get through it. When he finally saw the sun through the clouds, his mood suddenly became clear.

The floating clouds could no longer cover his eyes.

Under the bright sunlight, even the soul-cleansing wind that makes the soul tremble is not so scary.

Before Liu Bai could sigh, he suddenly felt a pair of eyes falling on him.

someone!

He looked up suddenly and saw a person wearing animal skins sitting on a protruding rock in front of him. The person looked no different from the rock.

Just one glance at Liu Bai and he had a feeling that this man might have to sit and die here.

"Since when...there are so many young gods out there?"

It seemed like this man hadn't spoken for a long time, and his throat made a sound like the friction of sand and gravel.

Liu Bai looked at the old man's appearance. His skin was extremely dark and his face was full of wrinkles like ravines in mountains and rivers.

He didn't recognize him at all. Even though Liu Bai had seen the picture of this person before, he didn't know who he was now.

All we can discern is that he is also a manifestation of God.

Coming here to endure this hardship is also for the purpose of attaining enlightenment.

"My mother's name is Liu Qingyi."

Speaking of myself, this person definitely doesn't know her, but speaking of Liu Qingyi... there is almost no one in the world who doesn't know her.

Especially among those who practice Yin-Wang.

"Oh, no wonder."

The man understood, and raised his hands to salute, "My legs have been broken by the aliens, so I can't stand up. Please forgive me, sir."

"Senior, you're welcome."

Liu Bai returned the salute, then looked at the man's legs, which had already rotted and become infested with insects as he sat cross-legged under the animal skin.

After a little hesitation, Liu Bai took out a bottle of pills from Xumi.

"I think this medicine may be of some use to you, senior. You can try taking it."

The old man shook his head and said, "I won't live long, so I won't waste your precious elixir."

Seeing that he was not being polite, Liu Bai had no choice but to put it away.

The old man continued, "The closer you get to the top of the Soul Purifying Cliff, the better the effect. If you still have energy left, you can walk towards the top of the mountain."

After saying this, he closed his eyes again, as if fainting.

Liu Bai sighed in his heart and said nothing more. He just walked past the old man step by step.

Step by step, we climb higher. (End of this chapter)
