After parting ways with Brother Chen, Zhao Youliang walked alone on the road, feeling increasingly puzzled.

Why does the sky suddenly darken when the three evil spirits appear?

Moreover, only he and Li Mao noticed it; Brother Chen and the other residents in the same town did not.

The weirdest thing is that it's broad daylight!

Those three evil spirits dared to appear during the day and even "casually" killed the owner of the funeral shop... Doesn't that mean these three evil spirits are particularly ferocious?!

As he pondered this, Zhao Youliang unconsciously quickened his pace, eager to return as soon as possible to consult his spirit medium.

Unfortunately, no matter how they called out, none of the deities responded.

Because the prisoners and other "people" were too badly injured, they are still in a deep sleep to heal.

Naturally, he couldn't sense Zhao Youliang's call, let alone pay attention to this fellow.

Just as Zhao Youliang was at a loss, he suddenly heard the barking of a big yellow dog coming from the front yard of the paper shop.

Strangely, after being fierce for a couple of moments, she immediately backed down and started whimpering in a pleading manner.

Could it be that evil spirits have come?!

Alarmed, Zhao Youliang rushed to the front door to check: there he saw his own rogue dog bowing and kowtowing to an old man.

Even the two paper figures on the big yellow dog's back are like that.

These two mischievous little devils kowtowed to the unfamiliar old man while making babbling noises in their childish voices.

"Greetings, venerable immortal! May you be blessed with good fortune."

His obedient demeanor was completely different from when he was kicking his own crotch!

The old man, who was looking at the two paper figures with great curiosity, looked away when he sensed Zhao Youliang's arrival.

He smiled and said, "You must be Zhao Youliang?"

"My surname is Liu, but I won't mention my given name; I've long forgotten it myself."

You can call me Uncle Liu or Old Liu, it's fine.

This old man was the master of paper-making who had been entrusted by the Chang family of the North to teach Zhao Youliang his skills.

Although Zhao Youliang was unaware of the "insider information," he always respected his elders.

In addition, this old Liu gave people a particularly warm feeling, as if Granny Fu and Shopkeeper Sun were standing in front of them again.

Therefore, they hurriedly and politely brought over a rattan chair and invited the other party to sit down.

"Uncle Liu, I am Zhao Youliang. How did you know my name?"

"Did you come to see me for something?"

"Something's wrong, of course something's wrong," the old man said after taking a sip of the hot water Zhao Youliang handed him.

"Since we're all insiders, I'll just tell you the truth."

"I was asked by Chang Jie's father to come and see him and keep him company. I'll stay here for a few days."

"Of course, if it's inconvenient for you, then we'll discuss that separately."

"Convenient, of course it's convenient!" Zhao Youliang was overjoyed to hear the old man's words!

That kind of joy is equivalent to an ordinary person winning several five-million-dollar prizes in a row.

So he took the box the old man was carrying while continuing to speak.

"I'd be happy to take care of you even if you stayed for a long time, let alone just a few days. As long as you don't complain that I don't take good care of you!"

Old Liu was clearly very satisfied with Zhao Youliang's attitude, thinking to himself that this kid was a good successor.

The book subtly suggests that Zhao Youliang acted this way because he was not stupid.

Not only is he not stupid, but having experienced all the hardships of life since childhood, Zhao Youliang is much smarter than his peers, at least his emotional intelligence is much higher.

Before the old man said those words, he had already realized that the old man was a master, a true senior master!

This can be seen from the big yellow dog's attitude towards the old man.

So far, the only people who can make this rogue dog kowtow and bow are Little Dumpling's ancestor, Brother Huang's ancestor, and the mysterious young general who lit his lighter.

Of course, there is also the more mysterious "Mr."

However, when Zhao Youliang considers the issue of "people," he usually automatically excludes that "gentleman."

Although he and the gentleman were not familiar with each other at all, for some reason, Zhao Youliang was quite certain that the gentleman had long since transcended the realm of humanity.

To even call someone a god would be an insult to them...

Trying his best to stop himself from letting his mind wander, Zhao Youliang spoke to the old man with a respectful expression.

"Uncle Liu, you are a master, you must be able to see that there is something strange about my shop."

"So please, sir, condescend to let us go in through the back door."

Old Liu was about to speak when a little mouse suddenly crawled to his feet.

After a brief moment of surprise, Old Liu bent down and picked up the little mouse.

The little guy was clearly as intelligent as the little dumpling. After standing up and bowing to Old Liu, it squeaked a few times.

Old Liu was stunned: "Sir, you stopped here?!"

"Alright, please inform Master Hui that I understand."

"Thank you for the reminder, Sixth Master... Otherwise, I would have almost made a grave mistake."

After saying that, Old Liu gently put the little mouse back on the ground.

The little guy didn't rush to leave. Instead, he politely bowed three times to Old Liu before squeaking and running out of town.

After watching the little mouse leave, Old Liu frowned and carefully examined the paper-making shop in front of him before speaking softly.

"Quantum, it's a bit inconvenient for me to stay here. Do you have anywhere else to stay?"

"Any house that can shelter us from the wind and rain will do; it doesn't need to be too nice."

......

A moment later, Zhao Youliang had led the old man to the coffin shop.

"Uncle Liu, what do you think of this?"

"If that's alright, I'll help you tidy up properly right now."

Old Liu was clearly very satisfied with the coffin shop.

"You don't know about quantum mechanics. I've spent my whole life studying paper-making and coffin-carrying. Living here is just right for me."

"You don't need to bother anymore."

"Also, if you need anything in the future, come find me here... If you like learning paper-making and coffin carrying, I can teach you."

Zhao Youliang, who was already struggling to find a renowned teacher, was overjoyed upon hearing this.

"I like it, of course I like it!"

"Uncle Liu, to be honest, I've been doing this on my own lately, and there are many things I don't understand!"

As Zhao Youliang spoke, he tried to take out the ancient book that Manager Sun had left him.

But to everyone's surprise, what fell out first was the "Republic of China banknotes" that were in my pocket.

"A life-threatening bill?" Old Sun was taken aback when he saw this, and bent down to pick up the banknote.

"Such heavy yin energy, such heavy resentment!"

"A ghost of this caliber is probably strong enough to attract unusual phenomena, right?!"

“Quantum, tell me how you got this deadly money.”

Zhao Youliang had been wanting to figure out just how strange those three evil ghosts were, so upon hearing this, he quickly recounted the whole story.

Old Liu frowned slightly after hearing this: "In broad daylight at dusk, vengeful spirits are demanding lives... It seems those three filthy things have indeed become powerful."

Seeing Zhao Youliang's blank expression, Old Liu began to patiently explain to him...
