The Dead Burn Incense, Puppets Sit in the Hall

In our long-standing and historically rich land of China, many professions have their own rules and taboos. This is especially true for ancient and mysterious crafts.

For instance, when engag...

Chapter 347 Are you sure you don't want to use it?

When Zhao Youliang returned to the paper-making shop, he saw the grasshopper spirit lying on a rocking chair as soon as he entered the back door.

The grasshopper spirit clearly hadn't expected Zhao Youliang to return so quickly, and immediately asked.

"How's the quantum mechanics? Have you found out anything?"

Zhao Youliang slowly shook his head: "No, Chang Jie didn't even let me go over."

Upon hearing Zhao Youliang's words, the grasshopper spirit was shocked: "What? What is that thing? Even Young Master Chang Jie thinks that thing is strange?!"

Upon hearing the grasshopper spirit mention him, Chang Jie listlessly raised his head.

"It's definitely more sinister than yours, but not as sinister as my eldest uncle, nor as sinister as my second uncle..."

Chang Jie kept rambling on and on about his seventh uncle, his father, and his two mothers, which made the grasshopper spirit speechless.

At the same time, he thought to himself: If the previous generation of your Chang family were as extraordinary as you, then what would we be fighting for?

You might as well commit suicide immediately to atone for your sins; if you're lucky, you might even get a whole corpse...

Lost in thought, the grasshopper spirit remembered another very important matter.

"Hey Quantum, how come you came back on your own? Where's Brother Pi?"

Zhao Youliang was also taken aback: "What? Boss Pi didn't come back?"

"I didn't sense Cao Daxian's presence near his house, so I thought he had returned!"

After Zhao Youliang finished speaking, he quickly recited a spell to summon the immortals and contacted Boss Pi to summon him back directly.

As it turns out, Zhao Youliang's skills have indeed improved; at the very least, he successfully completed the "precise summoning" this time.

After the incantation, Boss Pi appeared in front of them, spinning around.

This thing was clearly so dizzy from spinning like a mini whirlwind that it couldn't stop.

Unable to bear it any longer, the grasshopper spirit could only lift him up with two fingers.

"Old Pi, stop spinning around. We need to ask you, where did you go just now?"

"Quantum has returned, why haven't you?"

Upon hearing this, Boss Pi looked on with a puzzled expression: "What? Quantum is also a 'scout'? He's already back?"

"I...I..."

Seeing that Boss Pi was only talking about "me, me," the grasshopper spirit got a little anxious: "What do you mean, 'me'? Hurry up and tell me!"

Under the stern gaze of the grasshopper spirit, Boss Pi finally spoke up, albeit somewhat embarrassed.

"I hadn't even floated there yet; I was brought back by quantum mechanics halfway there."

Zhao Youliang: "......"

While wiping the black lines from his forehead, Zhao Youliang asked weakly, "Boss Pi, with your speed... how did you usually fight against others?"

Upon hearing this, Boss Pi replied confidently, "It's all because of Boss Grasshopper who's been carrying the burden for me. We Evil Hall Immortals have always operated as a group... we settle things as a team!"

"Alright..." Speechless, Zhao Youliang could only turn and leave, pondering how to deal with Cao Daxian's challenge.

Although Chang Jie didn't seem very bright, he knew that Zhao Youliang was worried.

After exhaling a string of small smoke rings, he spoke weakly, "Quantum, don't be afraid, I will protect you."

Looking at Chang Jie's sincere face, Zhao Youliang was moved.

Ignoring Chang Jie's resistance, he hugged Chang Jie and kissed him twice like a lovesick man kissing his wife.

"Egg Boy, you're still young, you don't need to always think about protecting others."

"When you encounter danger, just make sure you protect yourself, understand?!"

Chang Jie, who has always been a good boy, nodded listlessly upon hearing this.

"Okay, I've got it."

"Quantum, you really don't need me to protect you?"

Zhao Youliang replied sincerely, "No, no need!"

"I'm happy as long as you can protect yourself!"

"Okay..." After receiving a positive answer, Chang Jie slowly floated up, trying to stay as far away from Zhao Youliang as possible.

"Quantum, then be careful... You really don't need me to protect you?"

Seeing Chang Jie's unusual behavior, Zhao Youliang was a little puzzled.

"Egg Boy, what do you mean...?"

Before Zhao Youliang could finish speaking, a huge object fell from the sky and landed squarely on him.

Zhao immediately screamed, "Ouch, my god, that hurts!"

"What hit me? Move it, it's crushing me!"

Such a commotion naturally alerted the spirits in the shrine.

When the grasshopper spirit, Xiong Ba, and the others arrived, they saw Zhao Youliang being pressed down by a "big guy," completely covered by him.

Only two legs were exposed, stubbornly twitching.

"Good heavens, what kind of monster is this?!"

While talking, the simple-minded Xiong Ba started to move the big guy, even using all his strength to move him off Zhao Youliang.

In this way, we finally got a clear look at the big guy's face.

"Zhao, Zhao family boy? It's only been a few days since I last saw you, how come you've grown so strong!"

Indeed, the enormous object that fell from the sky was none other than Zhao Hongwei, the corpse driver who had gone out alone to search for the Seven Tragic Stones.

It's just that I don't know what he's been through during this time: he's gone from having two balls and two sticks to his current muscular physique.

To put it simply, he's like the pursuer in a zombie movie—not only is he nearly two meters tall, but his muscles are also bursting out in an illogical way.

It gives people the feeling of "strength to uproot mountains and a spirit to cover the world".

After hearing Xiong Ba's words, Zhao Youliang endured the pain and got up from the ground, or rather, he was helped up by the eldest son of the silly roe deer.

"Hong, Hongwei? What's wrong with you?"

"How did it turn out like this? It even fell from the sky!"

As Zhao Youliang spoke, he hurriedly had Xiong Da carry Zhao Hongwei into the house.

After all, it's broad daylight now, and if ordinary passersby saw this "monster," it would cause unnecessary panic.

Upon entering the room where the ancestral tablets were enshrined, Zhao Youliang noticed that Zhao Hongwei was unconscious.

Moreover, his face was pitch black, just like Bao Gong from the movie had stepped out.

This person clearly looks like they've been poisoned, and by a highly toxic poison at that.

"Zombies can be poisoned?!"

While secretly surprised, Zhao Youliang quickly reached out to check Zhao Hongwei's breathing.

His actions naturally drew ridicule from the grasshopper spirit.

"Are you stupid, Quantum?"

"Zombie poisoning is novel, but wouldn't it be even more novel if zombies could breathe?!"

The grasshopper spirit was right, so Zhao Youliang could only chuckle awkwardly and pull his outstretched hand back.

"Old sage, do you know how to detoxify?"

"Egg Boy, can you do it?"

The two "people" named by Zhao Youliang shook their heads in unison upon hearing this.

After all, the idea of ​​zombies getting poisoned is too bizarre, let alone curing them.

It should be noted that corpse poison is one of the most potent and deadly poisons in the world. If bitten by a zombie, it is best to treat it as soon as possible.

Otherwise, once the corpse poison enters the body, even a legendary immortal, if "affected," will experience a decline in their cultivation, even if they don't fall into reincarnation...
