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

Chapter 62: Spirit, Out! [Seeking Follow-up Reading]

"Wait a minute, your brain is going to burn out!"

Liu Bai shouted hurriedly, and then lit his three life fires with a "bang".

A heat wave swept through the hall.

Looking at the life fire on his shoulders and head, Hu Wei and the other three looked at him with envy.

And as his three life fires were ignited, there was finally a slight change in his mind. How to put it... The most straightforward feeling was that it became a little brighter.

It seems to glow.

At this moment, Liu Bai suddenly felt as if his ears and eyes were sharper, and his five senses seemed to have been magnified several times.

In this dim hall, he could see a spider web at the opposite corner, in which a spider was catching long-legged mosquitoes.

You can even hear the chirping of insects outside the Ma family's farm, as well as the evil cries coming from the ravine further away.

At this moment, Liu Bai immediately understood why he could see some things clearly from a distance when he followed Master Ma into the mountains before.

So this is the effect of burning the spirit body...

"It won't be so dangerous for you to go into the mountains in the future. As long as your brain is burned out, ordinary wandering spirits will not dare to get close to your forehead."

"Otherwise, for those who don't have fire, in the old woods, some small creatures like to get in through their ears and nostrils."

"That's why ordinary people are prone to encountering evil spirits."

Master Ma was very happy to see that Liu Bai had burned out a spirit, even if it was just a head.

"Congratulations, Junior Brother Liu!" Liuzi immediately picked up a bowl of soup.

Liu Tie and Hu Wei also understood. Liu Bai was happy and laughed, and also poured another bowl of soup. Master Ma laughed and scolded him, "You bastard", and he picked up the wine glass.

A few of them just touched each other, then laughed and drank it in one gulp.

I don’t know if he was really drunk or he really didn’t want to take Liu Bai to the city, but after a while, Mr. Ma fell on the table and lost consciousness.

Liuzi and Huwei dragged him back to his bed.

Liu Bai did not go back home that night. He lay in the small shop where he had been before and talked with Hu Wei, Liu Tie and others all night long.

But most of the time it was Liuzi, Liu Tie, Hu Wei and the others who were talking. Liu Bai didn't understand much so he could only listen.

Especially Liuzi and Huwei, both of them had been to the city, and they talked about what they had seen and heard inside, one story after another, which made Liu Bai very greedy.

So the next morning, Liu Bai got out of bed and caught Master Ma who also got up early.

"Send me back and ask my mother first. If she says yes, I'll go with you. If she says no, I won't force you. This should be fine now, right?"

"It's okay. If you say no, I'll say you were drunk last night and cursed at her several times."

Master Ma glared and said loudly: "Okay, I'll send you to ask now!"

"It's all right, why be so fierce?" Liu Bai muttered and jumped onto his carriage first.

After entering, he found that there were actually several boxes in the carriage. He guessed that the things inside were the mountain products that Mr. Ma mentioned last night.

"Watch out, kid. Don't open the box. If the things inside come out, it will be hard for us to catch them."

Not long after Master Ma finished speaking, Hu Wei came in from outside, yawning.

"Junior Brother Liu, you are such a fool. You didn't even call me when you got up so early."

"I shouted, but you didn't hear me." Liu Bai lied.

"really?"

Master Ma outside shouted and whipped the carriage.

Soon, the carriage stopped at the entrance of the north-south dirt road west of Huangliang Town. Liu Bai jumped off the carriage and returned home.

It was still early and Madam Liu had not gone out yet. She was eating steamed buns for breakfast in the living room.

When she saw Liu Bai, she just asked why he came back so early.

Liu Bai came forward and said, "Mom, I want to go to the city with Master Ma, okay?"

"I have never been to a city in my life. I want to go there and broaden my horizons."

When Lady Liu heard this, she sneered, "How old are you? One year old?"

"Uh..." Liu Bai was no longer afraid, and raised his head and said, "Who told you to give birth to me so miraculously? Is it my fault?"

Madam Liu sneered and said nothing more. She just stood up and went back to her room. Just when Liu Bai thought she was going to disagree, she came over with two silver ingots and said, "Go if you want to. Buy anything you like. Don't save."

"Also, don't buy those things from the Yin-Yang people. There aren't many good ones."

After saying this, Madam Liu squatted down, placed the two silver ingots in her hand on Liu Bai's chest, and patted his little head.

"Go and play."

Seeing her like this, Liu Bai couldn't help but take a step forward and hugged her gently, then immediately let go.

It was not until he ran to the door that he thought of something and turned around to ask, "Mom, what if someone in the city bullies me?"

"You knew what to do before, but now you don't know how to do it?"

"Okay, thank you, mom!"

Liu Bai laughed loudly and ran to the door, "Mom, wait, I'll bring you something delicious and fun."

……

This was Liu Bai's first time to enter the city, and also his first time to go to such a far place, so he didn't even get in the carriage. He just sat on the beam of the carriage with Master Ma.

Since leaving the town, he has been looking around curiously.

Everything is fresh.

Xueshi City is to the east of Huangliang Town. Outside Huangliang Town, there is a mountain road along the hillside outside Hujiaao. You can go into the city from there.

The carriage was fake, so there was no need to drive it to move. Master Ma was humming a little tune he had heard from somewhere.

Liu Bai used his super eyesight after burning his spirit body, and he could not see enough. Every time he saw something strange, he would pat Master Ma's thigh and ask him to see it too.

"Master Ma, look quickly, there seems to be an eagle with a human head flying on the hill over there."

"Don't point your finger, that's the mountain god's treasure!"

"Look, there's a big snake on that tree."

"That's old cauliflower. It's lazy. If you ignore it, it won't pay attention to you."

"Look, look again! When it comes over later, there is no white bead that can't be driven away!"

Liu Bai then stopped. As the carriage moved along the mountain road, he saw many things he had never seen before.

But after seeing it so many times, it’s actually like that. The weird things in the old woods are all pretty much the same, except for some special places.

For example, the old water pit that Liuzi told me about last night, and the ghost pond that Hu Wei told me about, those places are really weird.

After walking for a while, Liu Bai asked Master Ma about the situation in the Blood Food City.

"There is nothing much to say in this city. The City Lord's Mansion is the only one in power. You have to listen to the City Lord's Mansion in everything."

"Secondly, let's talk about the four most powerful families in the city."

As Mr. Ma spoke, he lit up his old pipe, took a long drag, and then began to talk: "Like the Red Lantern House and the Short Knife Gang that led us to the Yin Vein before, these are two of them."

"The Situ family, Granny Ma and her group, are behind the Red Lantern House. As for the business they run in the city... it's the kind you understand."

Liu Bai glanced at him and found that the old man was making faces, and he immediately understood.

But Liu Bai then remembered that the right to ignite the fire of the eldest lady of the Situ family was still in his hands, and it was still on his wrist.

Mr. Ma naturally didn't know, he continued: "As for the Short Knife Gang, they mostly do some shady things, but that's just saying, in reality they still have to listen to the City Lord's Mansion, hey."

"The remaining two are the Hongyan Society and the Zhou family."

"Behind the Hong Salt Association is the Hong family, which is in the salt industry. There are many hidden secrets here. I heard that the city lord is behind the Hong family. Of course, we are just listening to the rumors. We don't know whether it is true or not."

"The Zhou family's words are more legitimate. They are engaged in legitimate businesses. Basically, all the big and small businesses you can see in this Blood Food City are related to the Zhou family."

Liu Bai listened very carefully, but before he could say anything, Xiao Cao behind him said, "Situ family, Hong family, Zhou family, then doesn't the Short Knife Gang have any other family behind it?"

When Mr. Ma heard this, he said "Hey" and stepped forward.

"You know what? Actually, the first three families are all okay. They all have some influence from their ancestors, but this is not the case with the Short Knife Gang."

"Listen, I'll tell you in detail."
