As for why Zhao Youliang was under a curse, not only was he puzzled, but Granny Mi was equally puzzled.

In her mother-in-law's eyes, Zhao Youliang was just an ordinary child... an unlucky child who had no other special characteristics besides being unlucky.

The kind of person you wouldn't notice even if you were in a crowd.

What does the sorcerer want from him? Is there something he doesn't know?

Thinking about it, Granny Mi decided to go back to the paper shop with Zhao Youliang.

Although the child might not live much longer because of the shop, the kind old man wouldn't just stand by and watch him die a violent death.

"Mother-in-law, will you come back with me now?"

"Could you help me figure out where my cousin went? He hasn't come back for two days!"

"Cousin?" Having known each other for so long, Grandma Mi had never heard of Zhao Youliang having a cousin.

Upon questioning, Zhao Youliang recounted Wang Youcai's story in detail.

Of course, he deliberately obscured his cousin's miraculous origins... well, it's not so much that he deliberately obscured them, but the key point is that even Zhao Youliang himself didn't know.

Fortunately, at this moment, Granny Wenmi was only concerned about Zhao Youliang, so she didn't ask any further questions.

He only said that he would definitely help him find his cousin later, and then hurriedly pulled Zhao Youliang out the door.

"Quantum, when we pass by the coffin shop later, remember to call him Uncle Sun."

"Although he didn't know how to break the curse, more people meant more strength."

"Okay, I understand!"

Unlike Granny Wenmi, who was extremely anxious, Zhao Youliang didn't seem to care about being cursed.

Or perhaps he was more concerned about his cousin at this moment: Zhao Youliang knew in his heart just how much suffering the foolish child who had been wandering outside would have to endure.

After all, those were things he had experienced before...

When Zhao Youliang helped Granny Wenmi pass by the coffin shop, Manager Sun came out on his own before they could even knock.

"Oh my, big sister, Quantum, what's going on here?"

Grandma Rice didn't answer Manager Sun's question; instead, her face was full of surprise.

"Why are all these strange things happening lately!"

"Old Sun, what did you 'bump into' last night? Your yang energy is all depleted!"

The Yang Fire refers to the "three fires" we mentioned earlier, located on the top of a person's head and on both shoulders.

Those with spiritual attainment can subtly sense it.

Manager Sun gave a wry smile: "That's right!"

"Otherwise, I wouldn't have left home so early in the morning, just to discuss a solution with you, my dear sister!"

"Oh right, what does 'a bunch of weird things happening at once' mean? Could it be that something happened to Quantum again?!"

"Sigh!" Granny Wenmi sighed, then led the way toward Zhao Youliang's paper-making shop.

"Let's talk about it when we get to Quantum's shop. I hope you're all safe and sound!"

According to the rules of the paper-making shop, Zhao Youliang and his two companions could not enter through the main entrance.

When the back door opened, the first thing that caught the eye was the corpse that the corpse driver had left there.

Although it was covered with a thick waterproof canvas, it couldn't hide it from Granny Mi and Manager Sun's eyes.

"The God of Happiness?!"

"Quantum, how come you have something like this in your house?!"

"You really do keep anything around you!"

Zhao Youliang had no idea that "the God of Happiness" was actually "the corpse," the client of the corpse driver.

Hearing this, he smiled and recounted what had happened.

"Oh right, Grandma and Uncle Sun, they not only gave me a lot of money, but they also gave me a seal."

"They say it's a necessary seal for any shamanic disciple, and it will benefit me in the future!"

As he spoke, Zhao Youliang took out the large seal and presented it to Granny Wenmi as if it were a precious treasure.

After examining it carefully for a while, Granny Wenmi returned it to Zhao Youliang: "It is indeed a legitimate immortal seal. It seems that the person has no ill intentions towards you."

"Forget about the God of Happiness, let's hurry inside and take a look!"

Despite Granny Mi and Manager Sun's thorough search, the feud between Zhao Youliang and the sorcerer was purely a misunderstanding, and for Zhao Youliang, it was an undeserved disaster.

So naturally nothing was found.

But the more this was the case, the more puzzled Granny and Shopkeeper Sun became.

Left with no other choice, the two could only go to the small house where the deities were worshipped to light incense and make offerings.

"My esteemed immortals, I have a question for you: Do you know what's wrong with this boy, Quantum? What did he do to deserve this?"

"If you know, please let us know. Offerings will be made separately."

As soon as Granny Wenmi finished speaking, Zhao Youliang saw several slouching figures appear on the memorial tablet.

They still don't stand or sit properly.

The one who was first to be attacked was the grasshopper spirit that had originally "resided" in Zhang Banxian's body.

It seems that after Zhang Banxian died, he came to sit in Zhao Youliang's office.

The grasshopper spirit opened its mouth, its voice sharp like a whistle.

"Are you deliberately trying to annoy us, you old woman?!"

"You know how eerie the things in the front room are, right? Do you think we dare to go in?!"

"Is it even possible to come back after going in?!"

"Alright, don't bother us with your cultivation unless it's absolutely necessary. Go do what you're supposed to do!"

The strange things the grasshopper spirit mentioned refer to the two dolls and paper figures that were being worshipped.

As for the memorial tablets of the three "people" of the Hui family, since they never actually came to sit in the hall, there was no supernatural presence at all.

Seeing Xie Tangxian's attitude, Granny Wenmi had no choice but to retreat.

Back at Zhao Youliang's resting place, Granny Mi finally asked Manager Sun a question.

"Sigh, it seems there's no good solution for the quantum matter for now. Let's just take it one step at a time!"

"Moreover...moreover, the curse on him seems to have broken off, so it shouldn't take effect anytime soon."

"Old Sun, tell me what's wrong with you! What happened to you?"

Upon hearing this, Manager Sun reluctantly recounted his experience from the previous night...

After nightfall, as was his custom, Manager Sun closed the shop and prepared to rest.

But just then, there was a sudden, urgent knocking on the door.

When Manager Sun opened the door, he found three strange figures standing in front of it.

Wearing a blue shirt and a small hat, she was dressed in a style reminiscent of the Republican era.

Upon seeing this, Manager Sun was startled. While inviting the three people in, he pretended to squat down to tie his shoelaces and looked back from between his legs.

Here's a special explanation: looking from between the legs is also a common folk method for seeing ghosts.

They also smeared mud from corpses on their eyes or applied cow tears, and used umbrellas indoors.

In addition, simply applying cow tears will not produce any ghosts unless the entire cow's facial bone is covered on the face, which is called "monster masking" in the trade.

Moreover, it requires the bone marrow of an old cow that has been raised for more than ten years.

......

You won't believe it until you see it!

The three people who came into Sun's view all had deathly pale faces and distorted features.

This is no living person at all; it's clearly a ghost, or even an evil ghost!

Fortunately, Manager Sun was knowledgeable and experienced, and possessed some magical skills, so he did not express his surprise.

He was only thinking about dealing with the evil spirits and figuring out their purpose for coming to his door in the middle of the night.
