Folklore: The baby starts the game, and the mother takes off her painted skin
Chapter 373 Let’s go to heaven, everyone!
“Later, I found the demon-slayer and killed him. What do you think?”
Madam Liu suddenly turned around and looked at Liu Bai, still with a smile on her face.
Liu Bai let out a long breath.
“I can only say… very motherly.”
This style of doing things is undoubtedly Madam Liu’s style.
This is indeed something that Madam Liu can do.
Listening to Liu Bai’s answer, Madam Liu smiled and retracted her gaze, “I was lying to you. I was in a hurry to go to Wei State at that time and had no time to look for him.”
Mother, you actually lied to me. When did you start lying to others? Liu Bai smiled but said nothing.
“Let’s go, I’ll take you to the next place.”
After Madam Liu finished speaking, she took Liu Bai away without giving him a chance to explain.
This time we are heading west again.
Although Madam Liu may not admit it, she is from the Liu family of Ganzhou in Qin State, so naturally she has stayed in Qin State for a longer time.
Outside the Qin-Chu Mountains is the endless Qinguan Plain. It is early spring morning, the snow has melted, and people busy with their early spring work can be seen everywhere on this fertile land.
Madam Liu continued to head west, and finally the mother and daughter arrived outside a small town called Miancheng and came to a big river.
Liu Bai lagged behind slightly, following behind Madam Liu.
“At that time… this entire city was massacred by me.”
Madam Liu pointed to the small town on the other side of the river and set the tone for the topic as soon as she opened her mouth.
Liu Bai paused for a moment, but soon landed again and nodded, “That must be because they offended mother and made her unhappy.”
“That’s it.”
Madam Liu stopped and pointed at the small town across the street and said, “At that time, there was a family in this small town who raised an only daughter. Since the birth of the only daughter, their family has been plagued by disasters year after year.”
“First my father died, then my mother died.”
“After that, it was said that the woman had a bad fate and was unlucky. After she knew about it, she first worked very hard and respected her grandparents, uncles and the like, hoping that they would say something good about her. But do you know what happened?”
“The ones spreading these words outside are her grandparents, uncles and aunts?” Liu Bai guessed.
“Ah.”
“Later, the woman gradually became disheartened and resigned herself to her fate. Because she was the only daughter… she was defiled by a group of poor men.”
Madam Liu sneered as she spoke, and Liu Bai could feel the flash of murderous intent in her.
This incident must have had a profound impact on my mother at the time. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have such a strong murderous intent just thinking about it now.
But she soon calmed down and narrated calmly: “Later, she reported it to the authorities, but no one paid any attention. Her uncles and relatives even said that she was not disciplined.”
“Why else would those poor people go to her instead of looking for someone else?”
“Since then, the woman has been completely disheartened. She wants to kill her relatives and then die herself.”
After Madam Liu finished speaking, she suddenly burst out laughing.
“As a result, her grandfather passed away that night.”
She shook her head, as if to say that fate was playing tricks on her, “But… I still haven’t waited for the chance to make a move, because her grandmother said that she was the one who killed her grandfather, so she wants to put her in a pig cage.”
“It’s there.”
Madam Liu pointed to a deep water area on the other side of the river near the ferry and said calmly, “When I found her, she had already turned pale from being soaked in the water, with wrinkles all over her body, like a big steamed white meat bun.”
“Haha, so I killed all the people in this city.”
Liu Bai listened silently and didn’t say anything, thinking that someone here didn’t deserve to die, or he could say some truths.
He knew that Madam Liu just needed someone to listen to her.
As for what kind of team to take…let alone killing everyone in a small town, even if he had to kill everyone in the whole world, Liu Bai would stand firmly by Madam Liu’s side.
Standing on my mother’s side, this is something that makes no sense at all.
“So when I was being chased by everyone and everyone called me the Demon Willow, it didn’t really matter.”
“In the end, only my mother survived until now. They have all turned into dry bones in the grave.”
Liu Bai finally took up the conversation.
“It doesn’t matter if I’m still alive today.” Madam Liu said this with extreme confidence.
“That’s natural.”
Liu Bai saw that Madam Liu was always staring at the small town opposite and seemed to be in a very low mood.
He hesitated for a moment, then said, “Mom, there is something I don’t quite understand, and I want to ask you.”
His words seemed to bring Madam Liu back to her senses, and she turned to look at him.
“You ask.”
“You were also a ghost in the beginning, why did you end up being an evil spirit… No one should be able to kill you, right?”
Before Liu Bai said this, he hesitated for a moment before asking.
He also remembered that Xiao Caoyuan had mentioned this first.
Xiaocao said at the time that as long as Madam Liu didn’t want to die, no one could kill her.
Liu Bai believed this. If Madam Liu didn’t have this little bit of strength, how could she have grown into the best in the world today?
“No, I killed myself.”
Madam Liu said frankly.
Liu Bai wanted to ask but didn’t know how to ask. He always felt that if he asked his mother, why did you commit suicide at that time?
It’s a strange question to ask.
But he didn’t ask, but Madam Liu could see it.
Maybe she really wanted to talk about all these things today, so seeing Liu Bai’s reaction, she smiled and said, “Since you are curious, I will take you to see it.”
“where?”
Liu Bai subconsciously thought of a place… Qingzhou Luofeng City.
He saw it in a book he found in someone else’s Xumi. Luofeng City in Qingzhou was considered the largest city under the Qingzhou provincial capital.
But, that was back then.
There is no Luofeng City anymore nowadays.
Because at that time, hundreds of thousands of people in Luofeng City were all slaughtered by Liu Qingyi, turning the area within a radius of 300 miles into a purgatory.
It is still sparsely populated.
After killing hundreds of thousands of civilians, Liu Qingyi used their blood to paint a picture.
The portrait is a picture of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
That is to say, since then, all the ghost walkers in the world have been hunting down Liu Qingyi, but most of them are seeking death.
Similarly, since then, Liu Qingyi gradually faded out of people’s sight.
Some said that she was taken back and killed by the ancestor of the Liu family at that time, while others said that she went to the forbidden place and sought refuge with the old temple priest.
There are various versions, but in short, no one has heard from Liu Qingyi again.
“Wei State…Qingzhou.”
After Madam Liu finished speaking, the two of them disappeared from the Qin State. This time, they did not fly in the air, but walked directly across the void.
Of course, it was Madam Liu who led the way.
Liu Bai is now able to break the void, but if he wants to walk smoothly in the void, it still needs Madam Liu to do it.
But after a moment, Liu Bai felt that the colorful light in front of his eyes dimmed, and what appeared were mountains and basins.
Finally, two figures walked out of the void, and Liu Bai also saw their true faces clearly.
Green grass grows on the ruins, and evil spirits roam the dungeon.
All that can be seen within the area of dozens of miles is ruins, but these ruins are obviously extremely old.
As a result, most of the place was buried in loess, with only a few broken walls and huge rocks exposed on the ground.
“That year, I killed 210,000 innocent people here.”
Madam Liu did not hide anything and told the whole thing directly.
“Two hundred and ten thousand?”
Liu Bai was a little surprised.
“Well, you heard others say hundreds of thousands, right?” Madam Liu said with a hint of sneer, “They dare not tell the truth, otherwise the more they say, the more incompetent they appear.”
But after she finished speaking, the sneer on Madam Liu’s face disappeared.
There was indeed a trace of guilt in her eyes. She looked at the ruins in front of her and said, “I am indeed sorry for them.”
“But if I were given another chance like this, I would still do it, right?”
“Yes.”
Madam Liu admitted it openly, there was no need to be hypocritical.
Liu Bai looked at Madam Liu in front of him, and thought about what she had just said. He was silent for a while, and then he said, “So mother did have the intention to die at that time, right?”
“Yes.”
Madam Liu still did not hesitate, “At that time, I just thought that we could die together and put an end to everything, but I never thought… it would be difficult to die.”
She laughed self-deprecatingly.
At this point Liu Bai finally understood.
The reason why Madam Liu became an evil spirit was both an accident and not an accident.
After killing all the people in Luofeng City, she also wanted to die, but she never thought that after death she would become a ghost and continue to stay in this world.
But…what happened at that time that forced Madam Liu to massacre the people in the city?
Previously, in Miancheng of Qin State, although it was a city, it was actually just a larger town.
Just a few thousand people at best.
In comparison, these 210,000 people are somewhat exaggerated.
Liu Bai looked up at his mother beside him, but didn’t ask. He was waiting for Madam Liu to answer herself. If she didn’t say it, he wouldn’t ask.
“Are you curious about why I want to massacre the people in this city?”
“Yes.”
Liu Bai nodded and admitted it.
After seeing him nod, Madam Liu fell silent. She was silent for a long time, so long that Liu Bai thought she didn’t want to talk anymore.
She just spoke.
A gentle voice sounded across the wilderness.
“At that time, I was practicing a technique, a top-notch technique of entering dreams. The place I chose to practice and create dreams was right here in Luofeng City.”
Madam Liu looked around, as if she was looking at the Luofeng City of previous years.
“One dream lasts for ten years. Ten years is one dream. I have been in this Luofeng City for ten years. During these ten years, I was reborn as the daughter of an ordinary couple in Luofeng City.”
“They… are my parents. My mother makes a living by washing clothes for others, and my father works as a helper outside. He does whatever he can to make some money.”
Madam Liu’s voice remained calm, as if she was telling other people’s stories from the perspective of a bystander.
“So, mother, you entered the dream with your memories?” Liu Bai asked curiously.
“Ah.”
“Including my own ‘birth’ and everything that happened afterwards, I saw it all, ten years… ten years.”
Madam Liu raised her head slightly, “Those ten years were the happiest ten years of my life… Of course.”
As she spoke, she turned to look at Liu Bai and smiled, “It was like that before I met you, but it’s not the same after I met you.”
Every day since I have you is happier than before.
When Liu Bai heard this, his heart was moved.
Madam Liu retracted her gaze and continued, “During those ten years, I basically didn’t suffer any hardship. Even if life was hard and tiring, my parents would always find ways to bring me happiness.”
“For example, it could be a candy figurine they bring home from work, or a nice little stone they pick up when they’re out.”
Madam Liu told the story in a very calm and composed manner.
But Liu Bai could see that the ones who made Madam Liu commit the act of massacre must be the father and mother who appeared in her dream at that time.
as predicted……
“I have only enjoyed this kind of life for ten years.” Madam Liu looked up, and at this moment, a trace of murderous intent flashed through her heart.
This murderous intent directly swept around and spread in all directions.
Liu Bai clearly felt that all the evil spirits within a thousand miles were killed instantly by Madam Liu’s murderous intent.
“That day, my father returned home as usual, but my mother never came back. We waited until very late and still didn’t see her. My father and I went to Huang’s house where my mother worked, and also to several places my mother often went to… Later we learned that she was dead.”
“Do you know how she died?”
Without waiting for Liu Bai to answer, Madam Liu continued, “On her way to work that morning, she picked up three taels of silver and eighteen copper coins, and was seen by a woman who was washing clothes with her.”
“That woman spread the news, and then another person wanted to steal the money my mother found. When my mother found out, he snatched it away. My mother refused to let go, which attracted more people. After they knew what happened, they all started to rape her.”
“So for that little bit of money, my mother was beaten to death by them.”
“They were all murderers. Afterwards, they worked together to dispose of my mother’s body. They insisted on it and refused to admit it. So the government declared my mother missing.”
After Madam Liu said this, she paused for a long time before continuing, “My father and I both knew about this matter, but the government did not pursue it, so… my father sent me to my aunt’s house that night, and he was going to take revenge.”
“Do you know what happened in the end?”
Madam Liu smiled, but the spring breeze blowing across the wilderness could not melt the chill on her face. “The men from the families who killed my mother came to my house in advance, ready to kill and silence her.”
“So my father died, and my dream…was awakened.”
After Madam Liu finished telling this story, she slowly closed her eyes. The murderous intent in her heart was like a wild horse that had broken free from its restraints, galloping wildly across the wilderness.
It seemed to have become real, and wisps of scarlet murderous aura surged up from the ground, as if killing the entire earth.
However, this time Madam Liu was sober, and although murderous intent was everywhere, no ordinary person was harmed.
They didn’t even notice it.
The workers continue to work.
The idle remain idle.
But at this moment, there seemed to be a sudden sound of a person waking up from above the sky, followed by the voice of the butcher rolling down, resounding throughout the world.
There was a hint of fear in His voice, but it also seemed like relief and escape.
But more than that, it is the determination to fight to the death.
Just listen to His words:
“Go to heaven, everyone!” (End of this chapter)
