Don't be fooled by that big, silly-looking serpent with a black pot on its head. Its true identity is the Lord of All Serpents, personally appointed by the Yellow Emperor. It's quite powerful.
Therefore, the scale he gave me was definitely a treasure.
In other words, Zhao Youliang unintentionally obtained another great opportunity.
......
By the time Xiao Li brought Zhao Youliang back to the town, night had already fallen.
So they didn't go home at all, and went straight to help out at Sister Yingchun's barbecue stall.
Zhao Youliang helped with the preparations for opening the store, while Xiao Li was hunched over the table writing and calculating, estimating the various materials needed for the new store's renovation.
Just as Zhao Youliang was wiping the table, Sister Yingchun suddenly grabbed him.
"Quantum, what's that thing growing on the back of your hand?"
"What's that dark thing? Is it something dirty that wasn't washed off?"
The "dirty thing" that Sister Yingchun saw was the scales that the big snake had given to Zhao Youliang.
Zhao Youliang was taken aback at first, then looked down and sure enough!
I rubbed it with my hands and found that it wasn't dirt, but something that was growing directly into my flesh.
"Holy crap, could it be a skin condition?"
"Doesn't this look a bit like psoriasis?!"
As you know, the poor are most afraid of getting sick, so in a moment of panic, Zhao Youliang quickly took out his phone and started searching on Baidu.
After carefully studying pictures of various skin diseases for a long time, I came up with one piece of good news and one piece of bad news.
The good news was that the thing on the back of his hand wasn't psoriasis; the bad news was that Zhao Youliang had no idea what it was at all.
Seeing Zhao Youliang's anxiety, Sister Yingchun quickly offered words of comfort.
"Don't be afraid, even if it's a skin condition, it's nothing serious."
"I'll go with you to the hospital for a check-up first thing tomorrow morning. If it really is a skin condition, we can just use laser treatment to remove it!"
"Medical care is so advanced now, it's not a big deal!"
Yingchun's sister-in-law's comforting words did have an effect, and Zhao Youliang felt somewhat relieved upon hearing them.
Yeah, so what if it's a skin disease? It's not on my face anyway.
So what if it's on my face? Anyway, I'm destined to never have a girlfriend since I'm a childless man.
The thought that he would be on the last page of the household registration book filled Zhao Youliang with sadness again...
Just then, Xiao Li, who was wearing smoky eye makeup, came over, which startled Zhao Youliang.
"Li Mao, are you smearing soot on the bottom of the pot again?"
Xiao Li was a little embarrassed by Zhao Youliang's question, scratching his head and chuckling awkwardly.
"Too many strange things have happened lately, better safe than sorry, haha!"
Li, who was awkwardly laughing, suddenly stopped and then said to Zhao Youliang behind him.
"Hey, Daoist Master, you're here for barbecue too?"
"You look unfamiliar; you're not from around here, are you?"
Xiao Li's words startled Yingchun's sister-in-law at first, then her face showed fear: "Li Mao, who are you talking to?"
"Are you trying to scare me on purpose?!"
Yingchun's sister-in-law's performance also startled Xiao Li, who then turned pale with fright, and even the words she uttered were almost identical.
"Sis, can't you see a grown woman standing right there? Don't try to scare me!"
As he was speaking, Zhao Youliang turned around and saw the old Taoist priest with the Maotai standing miserably behind him.
"Master Dao? What's wrong with you?"
The old Taoist priest, his face contorted with pain, said, "Young friend, I have been harmed by evil spirits and forcibly driven into the Yin Spirit Cart."
"I was only able to escape temporarily thanks to a precious treasure bestowed upon me by my sect."
"Time is limited, so I'll tell you: the thing with your photo and that has been committing crimes is a special kind of zombie, which people inside the organization call the Backwards Zombie."
"Where the retrograde travelers go, houses collapse and nothing can stop them!"
"Please inform the police immediately, young friend. They will have their own way of contacting my sect to send an expert to deal with this."
At this point, the old man with the Maotai brand looked even more pained, as if he was desperately resisting something.
Therefore, the speaking speed increased again.
"And the woman beside you, she..."
Unfortunately, before he could finish speaking, the old man from Maotai vanished in a flash.
It was like a speck of dust being instantly sucked up by a powerful vacuum cleaner.
After the old Taoist priest disappeared, the ghostly chariot was seen slowly driving across the road opposite the barbecue stall.
The ghosts on the bus had pale green faces, lingeringly staring at every blade of grass and tree outside the window...
Oh my god!
Xiao Li, who had artificially opened his third eye, was so frightened that he covered his face and ran away.
I ran into the kitchen, trembling with fear.
Still confused, Sister Yingchun asked tremblingly, "Quantum... what happened? What did you see?"
After Zhao Youliang finished recounting what had just happened in the most concise language, he immediately took out his phone and called Officer Zhao.
He thought the other party wouldn't believe something so mysterious and far-fetched.
To everyone's surprise, Xiao Zhao on the other end of the phone simply asked seriously, "Quantum, are you sure you're not joking with me?"
Zhao Youliang was taken aback: "No!"
"Would I joke about something like this involving dead people?"
Xiao Zhao was silent for a moment before speaking: "Alright, I understand!"
"Quantum, remember not to tell anyone about this, so as not to cause unnecessary panic."
After giving his instructions, Officer Zhao hung up the phone, leaving Zhao Youliang alone in thought.
What are these "retrograde beings"? They sound pretty sinister.
How could such a strange thing have my photo? Why would it use my photo to frame me?
We don't even know him, let alone have offended him.
Poor Zhao Youliang had no idea that the photos that appeared at the crime scene were secretly taken by a sorcerer.
After being used to perform the "Cat Spell," it was accidentally nailed to the foot of the backward traveler by the coffin.
This led to a series of misunderstandings, which ultimately resulted in Granny Wenmi's death...
(For details, please refer to Chapter 0030 of this book: The Legendary Unlucky Constitution)
Seeing Zhao Youliang in a daze, Yingchun's sister-in-law, still somewhat frightened, spoke softly.
"Quantum, are you alright? What are you thinking about?"
Zhao Youliang then came to his senses: "Sister, I'm fine. I'm just wondering why that dirty thing called the Reverse Walker would frame me."
"It's true, when you're down on your luck, even drinking cold water can cause problems. All sorts of strange and unusual things happen to me!"
Just as Zhao Youliang was feeling sentimental, little did he know that he was about to suffer another misfortune.
Because at this moment, the "retrograde" he was talking about was grabbing the compass left behind by the old Taoist priest and roaring at the moon.
Their gaze was fixed on the direction of the town.
Because Zhao Youliang's aura still lingered on the compass... It was by using his aura that the old Taoist priest from Maotai found the retrograde traveler.
