Half an incense stick's time later, the big yellow dog, who had given Zhao Youliang a good beating, seemed quite satisfied and carried its two lackeys out the door.

Immediately, all the dogs in the town gathered again and began searching for something in the mountains and fields.

Perhaps he was really badly beaten this time, because it took Zhao Youliang a long time to finally get up from the ground.

After tidying up the shop, open for business according to the rules.

After my morning run, I saw that it was still early, so I moved out a rattan chair and lazily lay down in front of the shop.

While lamenting that humans are worse off than dogs, he observed the crowds coming and going.

Just then, Li Mao, who was also exercising early in the morning, ran over and casually tossed a bag of steamed buns to Zhao Youliang.

"Quantum, did your dog, Big Yellow, beat you up again?"

"Oh my god, I could hear you yelling even in my own house!"

Getting beaten by a dog is not something to be proud of, so Zhao Youliang ignored Li Mao and just kept eating his bun.

Li Mao didn't mind and pulled up a stool to sit down next to Zhao Youliang.

"Quantum, look, I told you so, didn't I? These past few days, aren't all the people dropping off their children women?"

Li Mao's reminder made Zhao Youliang remember the super handsome teacher who had helped him close the shop door.

Upon closer inspection, the parents dropping their children off at school were indeed all women!

Therefore, I can't help but be even more curious about this new teacher:

Just how handsome must someone be to trigger such a "spectacular" scene?

Luckily I don't have a wife, otherwise I'd have to keep a close eye on her and make sure she doesn't run off with that teacher...

Just as Zhao Youliang was lost in thought, another acquaintance walked towards him.

It was Mao Keng, the Taoist priest who gave him the "thank you token," who was also the twin brother of Maotai Laodao.

However, the old Taoist priest was in a really miserable state at this time, even worse than Zhao Youliang who had just been beaten by a dog!

Not only was his face pale, but he was also missing an arm.

Seeing this, Zhao Youliang quickly stood up and replied, "Master Dao, what's wrong with you?!"

The old Taoist priest did not answer Zhao Youliang directly, but instead looked at Li Mao beside him.

Li Mao was taken aback for a moment, then realized that the other person wanted to talk about things "inside the sect" and asked him to leave.

Only after Li Mao left did the old Taoist priest Mao Keng sigh and speak.

"I never expected the backward-walking corpse to be so powerful; even I am no match for it."

"This arm was torn off by the backward-walking zombie!"

"Oh? What should we do then?" Zhao Youliang asked as he helped Mao Keng Daoist to sit down.

Daoist Mao Keng shook his head and refused Zhao Youliang's offer, while a look of guilt appeared on his face.

"Young friend, I've come to tell you something."

"Because we, your fellow disciples, found the retrograde person using your aura, that beast even holds a grudge against you."

"You must be extra careful during this time, and absolutely do not leave the town... Hopefully, we can rely on the town's 'popularity' to stop the backward zombies."

"In short, be very careful!"

"You will be completely safe only after I return and invite a master to subdue that beast!"

After saying all this, Daoist Mao Keng turned and left, leaving Zhao Youliang bewildered in the wind.

"You've even come to hate me? Does that mean you'll come after me?"

"What on earth is going on? Why am I so unlucky?!"

After a moment of frustration, Zhao Youliang shook his head violently: "Fine, whatever!"

"Anyway, a lot of lice won't bite, and a lot of famine won't bother us. We'll just take it one step at a time!"

Since we're taking things one step at a time, we must make sure each step is taken with care and determination.

Therefore, Zhao Youliang took a steamed bun and headed straight to the coffin shop to begin a new day of cultivation.

However, before starting his cultivation, Zhao Youliang consulted Old Liu about the matter of the backward-walking corpse.

After all, only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win every battle.

Upon hearing that Zhao Youliang had actually provoked the walking corpse, even someone as strong as Old Liu couldn't help but frown.

"How strange! How could something like this appear in this peaceful and prosperous age!"

Seeing Old Liu's appearance, Zhao Youliang immediately realized that he was in big trouble.

"Uncle, that backwards corpse is really eerie, isn't it? Compared to ghosts with strange phenomena, which is more eerie?"

Old Liu smiled bitterly: "The difference is like heaven and earth, they can't be compared."

Zhao Youliang: "......"

"Uncle, are you saying I'm definitely going to die this time?"

Old Liu slowly shook his head: "If this had happened a few days ago, you would definitely be dead."

“Because if the zombie really comes, even if you hide here with me, I’m not confident I can deal with that beast.”

"But now... Quantum, remember this: if a zombie shows up at night, run to school as fast as you can."

"You'll be safe once you get to school!"

At this point, Old Liu suddenly hesitated: "I just don't know if that person will lend a hand to you."

"If he's willing to take action, let alone one backward-walking corpse, even several wouldn't be enough!"

For some reason, after hearing what Old Liu said, Zhao Youliang immediately thought of that super handsome new teacher.

Just as Zhao Youliang was pondering this, Old Liu spoke up again.

“Quantum, when you last met the Master, did he give you any special instructions or give you anything?”

Zhao Youliang was taken aback upon hearing this, and after thinking carefully for a moment, he finally answered.

"No."

"The master only said that if I can get through this ordeal, everything will eventually be revealed."

Old Liu sighed softly upon hearing this, "Alas, it seems that you truly have no interest in worldly cause and effect."

"They even know about your affairs..."

Although Old Liu didn't dare to finish speaking, Zhao Youliang seemed to realize something.

"Uncle Liu, do you mean that the gentleman knew me before?"

Old Liu smiled bitterly: "Don't ask, no one will dare to tell you even if you do."

"Besides, Uncle doesn't know much; he's practically a nobody."

Since the other party refused to talk about it, Zhao Youliang naturally didn't press for details. Instead, he asked about something completely unrelated.

"Uncle, what exactly do the gentleman and that young general do?"

"I feel like they're even more powerful than gods? More powerful than gods, yet they're not gods..."

Old Liu was clearly quite satisfied with Zhao Youliang's "insight".

After a moment's hesitation, he answered softly, "Quantum, I'll only say this once: once you know, never tell anyone."

"Actually, there is another kind of people in this world. Although they are not gods, even gods dare not offend them."

"This kind of person is called a 'perfect person'! You can think of it as the ultimate expression of humanity!"

"The perfect man has no self, the divine man has no merit, and the sage has no name."

"Sir, you are royalty among the most perfect beings, the kind of being who truly looks down upon heaven and earth!"

No sooner had Old Liu finished speaking than a sleazy voice came from outside the door before Zhao Youliang could even react.

"Haha, Uncle Liu, you've come here to have fun too? I think this place is fun too!"

"You're talking to this idiot about our boss?"

"What do you want to know? I'll tell you!"
