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

Chapter 97 I...Finally Died [Two in One]

Liu Bai remembered that when Madam Liu went out some time ago, she said that she was going to prepare a venue to welcome old friends.

Now it seems that these are my mother’s old friends.

Before he could turn around and look at his mother.

In the scene before his eyes, he heard Zhang Cang say, "Lord Liu... has been waiting for a long time."

After saying this, Zhang Cang, as well as those people and ghosts, all disappeared.

Liu Bai suddenly turned his head to look at his mother. Fortunately, she was still there.

Liu Bai breathed a sigh of relief, then quickly reached out and held his mother's hand, as if he was afraid that she would leave suddenly.

"mother……"

"Don't worry, just stay here. I'm not going anywhere. I'll stay here with you." Madam Liu said as she turned around and took Liu Bai into her arms.

Madam Liu rested her chin on the top of Liu Bai's head.

Only when he could feel his mother's presence at all times did Liu Bai relax.

But since my mother is not going... then who are they going to face? After all, Zhang Cang just said that Madam Liu has been waiting for a long time.

Suddenly, Liu Bai thought of something and understood something.

Madam Liu had already pointed at the scene in front of her and said softly, "Look."

Liu Bai looked in the direction he was looking, and saw a human figure reappearing above the ripples of the water curtain that had originally turned dark.

The scene also changed, and what appeared in front of Liu Bai was a place surrounded by endless mountains.

At first glance, its scope is unknown, just a vast wilderness.

It was no longer night, but a gray sky, like a sunset.

At the same time, the Grand Historian and the Grand Astronomical Officer, who came from afar, as well as the three evil throne monsters, all appeared in this open space.

The people and ghosts separated and each occupied half of the venue.

"Mom, is this what you were busy with some time ago?" Liu Bai asked, slightly raising his head.

"Yes, they have come from far away, so I have to entertain them."

Madam Liu's still gentle voice rang out.

Liu Bai wanted to ask more questions, but Madam Liu had already raised her right hand, put her onion-white index finger to her lips, and made a gesture of silence.

"Shhh."

"I'll tell you later. Mom is going to... kill someone first!"

As Madam Liu's voice fell, Liu Bai saw two figures, one pink and one red, suddenly appear in the picture.

The pink one flew towards the Grand Astronomical Officer and the Grand Historian.

The red figure went towards the three evil throne monsters.

Liu Bai suddenly turned his head to look in the direction of the closet, only to see that the door had been opened at some point.

The place where the two human skins were originally hung is now... empty.

The one in the pink skirt who always wanted to be close to him and affectionately called him "Xiaobai", and the one in the red skirt who had a voice very similar to his mother's but was always fierce.

are gone.

……

The Grand Astronomical Officer of Wei State looked at the figure in front of him whom he wanted to kill in his dreams, and now he appeared right in front of him.

His eyes gradually became crazy, and his loose black robe was fluttering.

He grinned and said, "Painted Skin, I will kill you today!"

At this moment, the human skin in the pink skirt looks exactly like Madam Liu.

Lady Liu in the pink skirt chuckled and answered him, "Qingzhou is in Wei State, Yunzhou is in Chu State, Qingzhou is in the north, Yunzhou is in the south, the cattle in Qingzhou have short but thick legs, and their fur is yellow. The cattle in Yunzhou have big horns, and their fur is dark black."

"So I would like to ask the Grand Astronomical Officer for a favor. Let's taste the cow dung from Yunzhou and Qingzhou... Do they taste different?"

As soon as Lady Liu in pink skirt finished her words, the Great Astronomical Observer roared in a low voice.

Soon, under the dim sky, the glittering stars could be seen, and the scattered starlight was draped over the body of Dasitian, turning into a long robe.

At this moment, he was like a great star god!
The hunchbacked Tai Shi Ling standing aside said nothing and didn't say much nonsense. He came here to kill the evil spirits.

But when he took out a roll of bamboo slips that was about to fall apart from his sleeve, his eyes finally fell on the opposite side.

It fell on Madam Liu who was wearing a pink dress.

At this moment, there seemed to be a flash of reminiscence and complexity in Taishi Ling's eyes, and finally all those looks turned into words.

"Little girl of the Liu family, why are you doing this?"

Upon hearing this, the pink-skirted Lady Liu finally stopped smiling. She slowly turned her head to look at the old man who only knew how to talk nonsense all day, and sneered:
"Why didn't you ask them why they did it?"

"Didn't I go to look for you back then? You were locking the door of your academy and reciting your thoughts."

"Why are you coming to me today to ask me something?"

The voice of Lady Liu in pink skirt was very crisp, and her temper seemed even worse. When she said this, she was almost pointing at the nose of the Grand Historian and cursing him.

There seemed to be a hint of regret in the eyes of the Grand Historian, but it seemed not to be.

Finally he just replied: "It's too late, do it."

After saying this, he slowly spread out the bamboo slips in his hand, and then chanted in an ancient tone: "In ancient times, a sage said..."

As his voice rang out, golden words flew out from the bamboo slips and went straight to Lady Liu in a pink skirt opposite.

The two men attacked one after another. Madam Liu in pink skirt did not say anything more. Her figure flashed several times, and five tombstones appeared in the void.

There is a pile of soil behind the tombstone, and people gather behind the pile of soil.

The Grand Astronomical Officer and the Grand Historian were surrounded in between.

At this moment, three lamps of life suddenly lit up on the shoulders and head of the lady in pink skirt!
In an instant, the entire void seemed to be burned by flames and the space seemed to be distorted.

The Grand Astronomical Officer and the Grand Historian, who had just taken action on the opposite side, were a little surprised when they saw this.

When will this ghost... be able to ignite the fire of life?

But they were only slightly stunned before they realized that this Painted Skin Ghost had so many tricks up his sleeve.

Then they also ignited their own life fire, compared to others.

After their life fire was ignited, it immediately burned all over their bodies, and they turned into a blazing fireball.

……

at the same time.

Not far from where the two men and the ghost were fighting, Lady Liu in a red skirt stopped the three evil throne monsters alone.

Although the fight had already started on the other side, it seemed as if they could not see or sense it at all.

Looking at the lady Liu in the red dress who appeared out of nowhere, the words of the water ghost whose body was dripping with black water.

"Painted Skin, what good is there in this world? If you follow us back and start a new throne, wouldn't that be a great pleasure?"

The corpse girl continued, "If Sister Painted Skin is willing to come, I am willing to retreat the Flaming Mountain by 300 miles."

"That makes sense." As soon as the headless general riding on a bone horse opened his mouth, his voice seemed to spread throughout the world.

"Painted Skin, if you are willing to return to our forbidden depths, today we, the four thrones, will join forces. Even if we cannot kill these three old creatures of the human race, we can still kill one and injure two."

"When that time comes, this world will definitely return to being taboo!"

As soon as these words came out, the water ghost, whose eyeballs were about to pop out, also widened his eyes.

Red flames even spurted out of the corpse woman's nose.

Lady Liu in the red skirt was even more free and easy, and agreed immediately, "Okay."

Her reaction made the three kings on the opposite side look surprised. They thought that Madam Liu would refuse again.

The best result would naturally be that Madam Liu agreed after much persuasion.

Then the three thrones became four thrones, and they surrounded and killed the three humans.

But now... In the end, the ghost from the ghost lake was sensible. It asked sinisterly, "Tell me, Painted Skin, what are your requirements?"

Lady Liu in the red skirt showed a smile on her face, and she said with a smile: "It's very simple."

"All of you old bastards, get off your thrones. After all... are you old bastards worthy of being with me?"

"joke!"

As soon as Lady Liu in red skirt finished speaking, the headless general raised the Fang Tian Hua Ji in his hand high.

It shouted angrily: "You are looking for death!"

The other two evil spirits also understood that this Painted Skin Ghost was just trying to make fun of them. This request...which throne evil spirit would agree to it?

This is clearly a sign of contempt for them, and is even more serious than the previous insults!
In an instant, the entire void turned into a lake, with corpses lying in it and broken limbs rising and falling.

But soon, another burst of hot flames spurted out from the side.

The corpse woman shouted angrily: "If you don't take it back, I will burn your ghost lake to ashes!"

Seeing this, Madam Liu in red skirt flashed a hint of disdain in her eyes.

Then, she had a pair of scissors in her left hand and a knife in her right hand.

This man has human skin, and the ghost... naturally also has ghost skin. The evil spirits she had encountered before were not as strong as hers, so she had never taken action against them, but this time it was different.

The skin of the throne evil can still be peeled off a little.

……

Liu Bai just stared at the fight on the screen, and he also looked up at his mother.

Mother was still behind him, but compared to before, her eyes were dull at this moment.

Only when Liu Bai looked at her would she regain some of her spirit and smile at him.

Liu Bai knew that her mother was concentrating on dealing with her "old friend", so she didn't bother her anymore.

But every time he saw those two human skins injured, he would clench his fists tightly.

But if he saw the human skin injuring the other person, he would be happy.

He just watched the fight and combat between the two sides intently, and his mood fluctuated completely with it.

He didn't even know how much time had passed when he came to his senses again.

Only then did I realize that the battle was almost decided.

There is no telling who won or lost. Both human skins were damaged, and even their entire bodies were torn to pieces.

This made Liu Bai feel very distressed.

But the same was true on the opposite side. The Wei State's Grand Astrologer had been pinned to the ground and rubbed countless times by Lady Liu in a pink skirt.

It’s a pity that there is no cow dung in this valley.

The Great Astronomical Observer also went from being angry at first to being numb at last.

The Grand Historian was slightly better off, but the beard on his chin was almost pulled out by him, and his whole body was shaking from the beating of the pink-skirted human skin, and he couldn't even stand steadily.

The same goes for the three throne evil spirits on the other side.

The headless general's bone horse was torn into pieces, and the water ghost became shriveled. It was originally like a piece of absorbent cloth, but now it seemed to have been wrung out.

As for the zombie woman...her body was filled with the water from the water ghost, and the ghost skin on her body began to fester.

Liu Bai felt his mother move slightly behind him, and he looked up quickly.

I saw that my mother's face actually looked as if she was very...relaxed?
Those two human skins were almost beaten off, but she was still so relaxed?

Madam Liu squatted down slightly and touched Liu Bai's smiling face with her hand.

She smiled, very happily, and her smile was very bright, and then, as if she couldn't hold back her smile, she said:
"Son, you have to walk in the dark from now on, otherwise..."

Madam Liu pointed at the people and ghosts in the picture and said as if she was laughing till tears came out:
"Just like them, I can only follow a human skin."

"Fight to the death."

"..."

Children can feel their mother's emotions, and Liu Bai is the same.

Just like at this moment, he could clearly feel that his mother was really happy, and the smile on her face was real.

It's not that he's pretending to smile because his skin is almost gone.

Mother is happy, so Liu Bai is happy too.

He reached out and wiped away the tears from Madam Liu's eyes, then pointed at the picture and asked in a low voice:

"Mom, can't these people and ghosts see each other?"

This is what Liu Bai had always wanted to ask, because in his opinion, the two groups were clearly not far apart.

But judging from their reactions, it seems like they are completely unaware of each other's presence?
Even the aftermath of the fight couldn't be transmitted.

"You can't see it. I just let you see it like this so that you can see it clearly. They are not in the same place."

Madam Liu smiled and explained, "What do you think I did the other day? If it was just to move a mountain, Zhang Cang would be able to do it by himself."

"That's no wonder..."

Things that Liu Bai had previously found inexplicable, he now understood clearly.

Madam Liu said again: "Of those two, I want to kill the Grand Astronomical Master of Wei, with whom I have an old grudge."

"These three thrones... Xiaobai, which one do you think is better to kill?"

This was the first time that Madam Liu asked Liu Bai for his opinion, so Liu Bai thought about it very carefully.

"If mother can kill, then kill that headless ghost."

"Oh? Why?" Madam Liu asked curiously.

Liu Bai replied: "Because it hit my mother the most just now, so I killed it."

"But I remember that it seemed like the water ghost hit me more often."

"I counted, the headless ghost hit mother forty-two times, the water ghost forty times, and the zombie woman thirty-six times." Liu Bai said confidently.

Madam Liu smiled, "Okay, then I'll listen to you and kill the headless ghost, but...what about the other two?"

Madam Liu had a smile on her face when she asked this question.

Liu Bai blurted out and replied, "I will kill the other two later."

"Okay, I'll wait for that day."

After saying this, Madam Liu gently touched the back of Liu Bai's head, and then closed her eyes again...

……

Lady Liu in a red skirt struggled to get up from the ruins, and at the foot of the opposite mountain was the three-headed evil throne.

The throne had lost all its glory, and they all knelt on the ground, their broken bodies having a kind of fragmented beauty.

But when they saw the Painted Skin Ghost in a long red dress stand up again, they all stood up immediately.

Lady Liu in the red skirt could not help but sneer at this and said, "Look at the useless people like you. You?" "Even the Three-Headed Throne can't take me down. How dare you be compared with me?!"

The water ghost was almost turning into a dry ghost. Its originally sinister voice became even more hoarse. It said:

"Painted Skin, there is still a chance to stop now. As long as you come back with us, we can forgive these things."

"But if we continue to fight..."

"you will die!"

When the water ghost said the last sentence, his two bulging eyes stared straight at the lady Liu in the red skirt opposite him, as if he was really thinking for him.

Lady Liu in a red dress also looked away from it, but she only glanced at it and quickly looked away.

She looked around and said loudly: "I am waiting for you three-headed throne to come here today. I, Painted Skin, don't want to go back alive!"

"I won't brag. I, Painted Skin Ghost, will die here today, so... one of you three will also die today!"

"Why don't you guys express your opinions first and see who would be better off dying?" Madam Liu in a red dress said this with a mocking look on her face.

As if he had never taken them seriously.

In fact it is.

As she said this, the three evil throne demons all felt something in their hearts and subconsciously moved away from each other.

There has never been any harmony between the evils of the throne, deep in that forbidden land.

No one obeys anyone.

They even often get into fights because of various frictions and disputes.

Like the water ghost in the Ghost Lake, and the zombie woman on the Flame Mountain...it's common for them to fight.

Their hatred is even deeper than that towards the Painted Skin Ghost.

If not, with nearly two hands worth of throne evil spirits, how could they not be able to break the taboo? !
It's nothing, just internal discord.

Therefore, the words of Lady Liu in Red Skirt made them wary of each other.

But at that moment, the headless general of Kusang Ridge made a voice from somewhere, with a sneer in his words.

"You think you can divide us with just this little trick?"

"You two idiots, just kill this Painted Skin Ghost, why are you beating around the bush!"

Its words also awakened the water ghost and the corpse-stiffened woman, "As expected of a Painted Skin Ghost, its skill in puffing its lips and tongue to confuse ghosts is indeed quite good."

While the water ghost was speaking, foul-smelling black water appeared in the void around him.

It keeps dripping and gathering.

Seeing this, Lady Liu in the red skirt crossed her hands in front of her, lowered her head slightly and smiled: "Okay, then you old water ghost will do it."

After she finished speaking, her figure turned into a ray of red light, as bright as a meteor streaking through the night sky, and pierced straight towards the water ghost.

The latter also panicked and disappeared immediately.

When it reappeared, it had already gone to another place using the black water dripping from the Ghost Lake.

Lady Liu in red skirt did not stop either, the red light turned and chased after her again.

The water ghost had already tried it before, and knew that if he fought head-on, he would die, so he could only retreat and dodge in the water.

The only good thing is that the previous few times have already left enough traces here.

Otherwise, you won't even be able to escape.

It seemed as if the Painted Skin Ghost in the red skirt had really set its sights on the water ghost. It kept chasing it and never attacked the zombie woman or the headless general again.

"Are you two really going to watch me die?"

"Such a good opportunity, why don't you act quickly?!"

The water ghost was furious and his voice was extremely miserable.

"Do it?"

The corpse-zombie woman sneered in her heart. They came this time... just because the old temple priest who had been sitting in front of the temple for many years and had never called himself the First Throne, but everyone called him the First Throne, came to find the three of them and asked them to come to the State of Chu.

The requirements are simple: either kill the Painted Skin Ghost.

Or take the Painted Skin Ghost back.

Now it seems that the Painted Skin Ghost has made up his mind and would rather die than go to the depths of the forbidden area.

Then there is only one choice left, kill the Painted Skin Ghost!

But I have just tried it. Can it kill?
Even if the three thrones join forces, they can only end up hurting each other. They can't kill each other at all. If they continue to fight, they will all die together.

Just like what the Painted Skin Ghost said himself, one of the three thrones must die.

Fortunately, she chose the water ghost... It is true that a friend would rather die than let me die.

As long as the water ghost is dead, not to mention that he will have one less enemy, the task will also be accomplished.

Isn’t it wonderful to have the best of both worlds?
The zombie woman glanced at the headless general again, but he still didn't react. They were both thousand-year-old foxes.

As long as you can survive, it doesn't matter.

So... the water ghost has already greeted the eighteen generations of ancestors of the zombie woman and the headless general.

But it still doesn't work.

They just didn't move at all.

Seeing the water ghost avoiding me again, its escape speed was getting slower and slower. If this happened two or three more times, I was afraid I would really die.

That's it.

The figure of Lady Liu in a red dress flew through the air, and just like the previous few times, she passed by the headless general.

But what was different this time was that she went straight to the headless general and held his broken neck with one hand.

Madam Liu laughed grimly and said, "I'm sorry, the one who's going to die... is you!"

In the distance, the water ghosts who escaped once again opened their mouths subconsciously, and the zombie woman who was originally standing next to the headless general also fled frantically.

The Headless General also wanted to run, but he found that the hand of the Painted Skin Ghost on his neck was like a seal, preventing him from moving at all.

This time... there's really no other way.

Its body couldn't stop shaking, "Why...me?"

When Lady Liu in the red dress heard this, she laughed, and it was a heartfelt laugh. She laughed with some happiness, but also with some... nostalgia.

She moved forward, carrying the headless general high into the sky, and then in the dim evening, she turned into a ray of light as bright as a star.

Before the headless general died, he finally listened to the answer given by the red-skirted painted-skin ghost.

It was a very brief sentence.

"Because my son chose you."

The exploded headless general turned into a blood rain and scattered. It was more like densely packed blood-colored Yin beads than a blood rain.

Just as they were about to fall to the ground, those blood-colored Yin beads were swept away by an old right hand.

The zombie woman and the water ghost who luckily survived knew who took it away, and they looked at each other in shock.

The corpse girl hesitated and said, "Let's go?"

The water ghost sneered, "When the Painted Skin Ghost was chasing me just now, this headless ghost didn't say a word. Now it wants me to kill someone for it?"

"hehe!"

After saying that, the water ghost disappeared from the spot, and along with it, the black water that was spreading everywhere also disappeared.

The water from the Ghost Lake has been taken away, but the remaining areas here will soon become strange places.

That strange thing is called...Old Water Pit.

The water ghost left, and the zombie woman naturally didn't dare to stay. Those old guys from the human race didn't show up. If they didn't leave, they might end up staying here forever like the headless general.

The two remaining evil throne monsters dragged their broken bodies away.

Then Zhang Cang appeared. He still had his hands folded in his sleeves, looking calm and composed. He looked at the backs of the two evil creatures as they left, seeming a little regretful.

"It would be great if we could stay together."

It’s a pity that he didn’t dare to take action.

Once he takes action, all the arrangements made with God Liu might be in vain.

He sighed quietly in his heart, and then shifted his gaze to the side, which was not far away.

The battle...is not over yet.

……

Dasitian knew that Madam Liu was very strong. After all, he had suffered a loss in Qingzhou.

But he didn't expect that Madam Liu would be so strong!
Even though he teamed up with the old man Qin, we still both suffered losses!
Damn it, some people are born to make a living by doing shady business.

But fortunately, we are about to win it after all.

The Great Astronomical Officer let out a long sigh. He felt that as long as he could capture the Painted Skin Ghost, his thoughts would be fulfilled.

Once this thought becomes clear, your realm may be able to climb even higher.

Seeing the Painted Skin Ghost at the foot of the opposite mountain moving again, he was so scared that he stood up quickly.

The old man was still sitting cross-legged on the spot, motionless, as if he was dead, but also half dead.

In short, there was no movement.

After all, he is really old. The ages of the two great astronomical officials combined are not as old as him.

"It's really useless."

Dasitian only dared to mutter something in his heart, and then looked at the pink-skirted painted-skin ghost who tremblingly climbed up, and then suddenly fell to his knees.

He just knelt down in front of the red-skirted painted-skin ghost, holding the Wei Kingdom's seal of astronomy in his hand.

At this moment, it seemed that countless densely packed figures appeared behind him.

They are all people of Wei State. Today, the Grand Astronomical Director wishes to use the fate of Wei State to pray to the Painted Skin Ghost for a quick death!

The old man finally raised his head upon seeing this, but the person he was looking at was not the Great Astronomical Director of Wei State, but the... Painted Skin Ghost opposite him.

Madam Liu was not surprised to see this, she just smiled and said, "You still want to be my daughter?"

After saying this, the figure disappeared.

She actually went against the fate of the Wei State and came before the Great Astronomical Master, then squatted down and answered him in a soliloquy.

"You do not deserve."

After saying this, Dasitian's eyes were filled with horror. He just felt that this was impossible...but it happened.

Because he saw that behind this Madam Liu, there was a flash of... golden body, and its appearance was exactly the same as the Madam Liu in front of him.

"This...how is this possible?"

"Nothing is Impossible."

After Lady Liu in pink skirt finished speaking, she had already grabbed his neck with one hand and ascended to heaven in one step.

He didn't even look at the old man during the whole process, and then another bright light appeared in the sky.

The old man raised his head slightly and just watched.

He watched until Zhang Cang appeared beside him, "I thought the Grand Historian would not understand."

The Grand Historian then withdrew his gaze and shook his head slowly, "Wei Kan has gone mad. I have observed his furnace many times, and each time his spirituality is higher than his blood, and it is getting higher and higher."

"If this continues, once he turns into a ghost, he will definitely be the king again."

"only……"

"But I didn't expect that you would have to receive the favor of a ghost, right?" Zhang Cang saw what the historian was thinking.

But unexpectedly, the Grand Historian shook his head and sighed, "God is jealous of talents."

He didn't say who it was, but both people present knew who he was talking about.

Zhang Cang did not want to say more on this topic. He looked around and said, "I just didn't expect that Liu Wudi, who had traveled across the Three Kingdoms and all over the world, would die."

"Everyone will die, including you and me." Tai Shi Ling said, as if he didn't want to stay here any longer, "Let's go, let's go."

Zhang Cang naturally followed him.

After leaving this place, the two of them returned to the hilltop where they were before. The Grand Historian said, "The other old man from Wei will definitely take over soon. If he becomes the Grand Astronomical Master... I'm afraid you will be in trouble."

Zhang Cang still had that smiling face.

"It doesn't matter. I don't mind the itch when I have too many lice. There are so many people who bother me. That mad dog... is nothing."

"Ah."

The Grand Historian nodded and said, "I don't have many years left to live. I will soon step down from this position when I return. The next person to take over has already been decided. It's Yu Guan. I will let him meet you then."

"it is good."

Zhang Cang just kept nodding, as if listening to the old man's...instructions.

But at the same time, Zhang Cang also had some thoughts in his heart.

For example, even he underestimated the strength of God Liu. He did not expect that just two skins of God Liu could simultaneously withstand the three thrones as well as the Grand Astronomical Master and the Grand Historian.

They can even kill one each.

For another example, in the end, we never saw the true God...come to the world.

……

at the same time.

Liu Bai, who had watched the two human skins turn into ashes, was already in tears. He raised his head. Fortunately, his mother was still by his side.

But... why is mother laughing?

And he smiled very happily.

"They both...are finally dead!"

Liu Bai even thought that he had heard it wrongly, and quickly wiped his tears, "Mom, who did you say finally died?"

Madam Liu slowly lowered her head.

For the first time, Liu Bai saw...excitement in his mother's eyes.

He felt that this was an emotion that his mother would never express, but this time it was real.

Madam Liu only answered with one word.

"I."

Liu Bai: “???”
