Zhao Youliang was wondering what the carpenter Wu's "seventh day after death" had to do with him, but then he thought that if it really was Wu's "suppression of the saint" that he had set up and he had broken it... it would be reasonable for him to come looking for trouble in the name of cause and effect.

Oh my god!

"A malevolent ghost born from a gathering of evil spirits, a vengeful ghost in red hanging himself... both are as strange and eerie as other vengeful ghosts with unusual phenomena."

"Isn't this just incredibly unlucky?!"

Just as Zhao Youliang was feeling increasingly frustrated, Liao Zhiyuan spoke up to remind him.

"Brother Quantum, we can't take this on ourselves. We need to get the Qi family involved too!"

"The Qi family?" Zhao Youliang was taken aback. "Zhiyuan, you mean Brother Qi Zhigang?"

"He's just an ordinary person, what help can he possibly be? He'll be lucky if he doesn't cause trouble!"

Liao Zhiyuan slowly shook his head upon hearing this: "Although Brother Gang is an ordinary person, the five major families will invite experts!"

"Quantum Bro, have you forgotten about those high lamas?"

"Besides, everything started because of the five major surnames. If they don't take care of it, they'll be in trouble sooner or later!"

"They'll understand this once they think about it."

Zhao Youliang wasn't stupid; after a moment's thought, he understood the key point.

"Xiao Liao, do you mean that Lao Wu's goal isn't just to harm Qi Zhigang, but the entire five major families?"

"It's just that Qi Zhigang was unlucky; he became the first one because he was building a new house?"

"Yes!" Liao Zhiyuan nodded deeply: "That's it!"

"Otherwise, I really can't think of any other reason, especially given Zhigang's character, how could he have offended an honest man like Lao Wu?"

Zhao Youliang suddenly realized that Liao Zhiyuan's words made sense.

"Oh, I see!"

"Alright, I'll go find Guo Zhengde right now. We can't just stand by and do nothing about the trouble they've caused!"

Just as Zhao Youliang was about to get up and leave, the Mad Prisoner suddenly appeared.

"Quantum, I'll handle this."

“I’m worried the five major families will resort to underhanded tactics if I don’t see anything of real substance.”

After a brief moment of thought, Zhao Youliang understood what the madman meant and spoke up to remind him.

"Brother Prisoner, be careful. I think that old bastard Guo Zhengde is not simple."

"Don't forget those two immortals who went to cause him trouble before."

Zhao Youliang was referring to the two evil spirits who had gone to "bewitch" Guo Zhengde, which led to their inexplicable deaths and their being taken away by the Yin Spirit Chariot.

Upon hearing this, the madman nodded deeply, then transformed into a gust of yin wind and vanished.

By the time the prisoner returned, it was nearly noon, and Zhao Youliang had already finished his training for the day.

"Brother Prisoner, what's wrong with you?!" Zhao Youliang hurriedly asked, looking at the listless and madman.

The madman clutched his chest with one hand and supported Zhao Youliang with the other, gently shaking his head. It took him a moment to recover.

"Quantum, you're right, that Guo guy is indeed wicked."

“He actually has a 'Five Gods' enshrined in his home, and it's the kind that actually comes to 'sit in the hall'.”

"Aren't you afraid of being attacked by the evil god, and having your family destroyed?"

Wutong Shen, also known as Wulang Shen, is a demon in folk legends who roams the countryside and molests other men's wives and daughters.

Because it specializes in evil deeds, it is also known as the Five Wrathful Gods.

Its origins are complex; one theory suggests it refers to a ghost from Liuzhou during the Tang Dynasty.

One account says that Zhu Yuanzhang held a memorial service for the war dead, with five people forming a group.

One theory suggests that they were Japanese pirates who harassed Jiangnan, burned, killed, and raped during the Yuan and Ming dynasties.

One theory suggests it could be a mountain demon, a wooden spirit, or a creature like a rat, pig, monkey, snake, toad, or bull-headed demon.

In short, regardless of their background, they are not righteous immortals.

As for why some people worship the Five Gods instead of other orthodox deities:

It's always faster to get what you need, such as wealth and status, by taking the crooked path than the righteous path.

As for whether there will be a backlash in the future... people blinded by desire don't care about such things.

In today's materialistic society, the idea of ​​laughing at poverty but not at prostitution is nothing new.

Upon hearing that Guo Zhengde actually worshipped the Five Gods, Zhao Youliang was first taken aback and then sneered.

"That's good, the more capable he is, the better."

"If Old Wu and his wife really come back tonight, it'll be quite a spectacle!"

If you have something to say, say it at length; if you don't, say it briefly: After nightfall, Zhao Youliang, who was helping out at the barbecue restaurant, saw Qi Zhigang hurrying over.

Zhao Youliang greeted him with a smile, "Hey Lao Qi, you're off work so early today?"

"What would you like to eat? I'll grill it for you right away."

Upon hearing this, Qi Zhigang gave a wry smile and pulled Zhao Youliang to a secluded spot.

“Quantum, something strange has happened to our families again.”

"While taking my afternoon nap today, all of my ancestors had the same dream: a large ghost appeared in the dream and warned me..."

Zhao Youliang interrupted with a laugh, "Didn't I tell you to be careful? Old Wu and his wife, the carpenters, are having their ghost visitation tonight."

Zhao Youliang's words stunned Qi Zhigang for a moment before he spoke with admiration.

"Quantum, you're becoming more and more amazing! You can even predict this?!"

Zhao Youliang explained everything with a wry smile, and then added his own explanation.

"Although I asked my own spirit to 'notify' you, you really need to be careful."

“The vengeful spirits created by the evil spirit gathering formation are no less ferocious than those your ancestors offended.”

"Moreover, Old Wu already possessed supernatural powers when he was alive."

Qi Zhigang had a deep understanding of Old Wu's skill as a carpenter, and upon hearing this, he quickly nodded repeatedly.

Just as I was about to say something, I suddenly saw police officer Xiao Zhao walking towards me from a distance.

Ignoring Qi Zhigang's presence, he cried out with a long face, "Quantum, I'm in bad luck again! What am I going to do?!"

"Why is that guy dragging the sack so fixated on me?!"

It turns out that Xiao Zhao, who was taking a nap at noon today, also had a nightmare.

In his dream, he was dragged by a demon carrying a sack to a mass grave outside the town.

The evil spirit pointed to the bones that had been dug up by the city management officers and sanitation workers and spoke.

"Officer, you see that? These are our corpses!"

"We were all killed by the people in the town. You must give us justice!"

"Patrol officer" was the term used by ordinary people to refer to the police during the Beiyang government period.

At that time, the police station was called the Police Department of the Supervisory Office, which had a four-level structure: the Municipal Bureau, the Branch Bureau, the Sub-stations, and the Police Stations.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Youliang suddenly realized: So that's what the sack ghost meant when it asked Officer Zhao to dig them out.

(For details, please refer to Chapter 0124 of this book: The Dead Man's Accusation)

Xiao Zhao didn't dare to dig it up, but it was because of leveling the abandoned grave that it was able to see the light of day again.

"Brother Zhao, besides asking you to help them seek justice, did the sack ghost say anything else?"

Police officer Xiao Zhao nodded slightly, then said something that almost made Zhao Youliang curse.

"The sack ghost also said that his young master and young mistress have been detained by Quantum."

"If you don't release them, I'll come and fight you to the death tonight!"

Zhao Youliang: "......"
