Only after the ghostly chariot had completely disappeared from sight did Zhao Youliang finally breathe a long sigh of relief.
"Alright, Brother Zhao, Lao Qi, the filthy thing is gone."
"Oh, by the way, Lao Qi, you're a local, can you tell me why our town is so strange?"
"It's okay if you don't want to talk about it. I was just asking casually."
Qi Zhigang hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Quantum, it's not that I don't want to tell you, it's just that I don't know much about it."
"I only remember my dad once, when he was drunk, he muttered: 'During the warlord era, our ancestors killed a very important family, including their servants.'"
"Nearly two hundred people!"
“Since then, strange things have never stopped happening. The saying ‘Titou Ridge, nine out of ten households are not at peace, half of each generation dies, and the rest die without descendants’ originated from that time.”
"Later, our five families worked together and spent two boxes of gold to invite a Tibetan lama to perform a ritual, which finally helped a little."
"Oh, I see." After listening to Qi Zhigang's explanation, Zhao Youliang finally understood the gist of it.
No wonder the evil spirits that appear are all dressed in Republic of China era clothing; no wonder lamas always come to help quell the trouble whenever something goes wrong.
"Old Qi, I've got some information about your new house, but I need to go and check it out to be sure."
"Okay, don't sleep in the new house tonight, go back to your dad's."
"Let's go check out the new house together tomorrow at noon."
Qi Zhigang was surprised that Zhao Youliang agreed so readily, and after a moment of surprise, he showed his gratitude.
"Okay, thank you for your help, Quantum!"
"I won't say thank you, let's see how it goes in the future!"
......
The busy night passed quickly. After returning to the paper-making shop, Zhao Youliang recounted how the two evil spirits had been dragged onto the Yin Spirit Cart.
Upon hearing this, the other members of the evil sect immediately became depressed, feeling a sense of shared sorrow.
Huang Yu's face was also very serious: "I never expected the Yin Spirit Chariot to be so strange, not even sparing us outsiders."
"But why were the two of them arrested separately? Is there some hidden story we don't know about?"
Zhao Youliang and the other immortals studied until midnight without any results, so they could only rest.
The next morning, Zhao Youliang continued to practice with Old Liu.
Around noon, Qi Zhigang was indeed waiting in front of the paper-making shop.
Seeing Zhao Youliang walking this way from afar, he quickly went up to greet him: "Liangzi, you're back."
"Please don't refuse the fruits I brought; they're for the spirits in our shrine."
Since they've said that, how could Zhao Youliang refuse?
After placing the gifts Qi Zhigang brought in the shop, she followed him straight to the new house.
Since it wasn't far, Qi Zhigang didn't drive, and the two of them walked.
I hadn't walked far when I bumped into the big yellow dog that was returning from patrol.
The big yellow dog had a takeout meal in its mouth, clearly intending to bring it back to feed Zhao Youliang.
Zhao Youliang quickly put on the act of a traitor and ran to meet him.
He bowed and scraped as he accepted the lunchbox: "Good afternoon, sir. May you be blessed. You've worked hard!"
Seeing his respectful attitude, the big yellow dog snorted with satisfaction.
He then stared at Zhao Youliang with questioning eyes, clearly blaming him for not watching the shop properly and wandering around the streets aimlessly.
Understanding what the big yellow dog meant, Zhao Youliang quickly explained, "Brother Dog, Lao Qi's new house is 'unclean,' so he asked me to go and take a look."
"Well, Lao Qi knows the rules, so I brought you some 'gifts' and I'm leaving them at home!"
Seeing the big yellow dog looking at him, Qi Zhigang immediately bowed and scraped to show his respect.
"Brother Dog, Quantum will be back after he finishes his business with me, so you don't need to worry."
"When he comes back, I'll have him bring you a few pounds of pig's head meat."
As the saying goes: the townspeople have suffered under the dog's thumb for too long, and no one dares to offend the big yellow dog, this "underground emperor."
It's just that the thug can't talk; otherwise, if he did speak, he would be far more effective than the town mayor!
After figuring out what Zhao Youliang was going to do, the thug let him go, but still gave him a threatening look.
That means you'd better come back to the shop soon, or I'll beat you up again!
Zhao Youliang hurriedly nodded and bowed to indicate that he understood, and then awkwardly pulled Qi Zhigang away quickly.
Only after walking two alleys did Zhao Youliang dare to speak softly.
"Old Qi, let me ask you something: Was that thug this domineering before I came here?"
"Even if he's fierce, can he be fiercer than a gun? In all these years, hasn't the dog control office ever shot him?"
In all honesty, Zhao Youliang didn't ask the question with the intention of killing the big yellow dog; he was simply curious.
If anyone dared to shoot that thug now, Zhao Youliang would be the first to fight him to the death.
Qi Zhigang gave a wry smile when asked: "Shoot that big yellow dog? Anyone who dares to do that would be the public enemy of this town!"
"Don't even mention the dog control office, even the police wouldn't be able to do anything!"
"You don't know, Quantum, the first owner of the paper-making shop warned our ancestors: if the big yellow dog is gone, the things inside the paper-making shop will immediately come out and cause trouble, and then everyone will be wiped out!"
"So everyone's too busy burning incense and praying to Buddha for the big yellow dog to live a long and healthy life, how could they dare to shoot him!"
At this point, Qi Zhigang hesitated for a moment, looking around to make sure the big yellow dog wasn't nearby before he dared to continue.
And he lowered his voice to a very low hushed tone: "Besides, I suspect that even if I use a gun, I won't be able to kill that scoundrel dog; instead, he will retaliate against me."
"You think you can still live a good life by then? Dream on!"
Zhao Youliang had a deep understanding of the ferocity of the big yellow dog, so he nodded in agreement.
"That's true!"
"Even if you offend someone, you can't offend a thug. Ouch, that beating hurts so much!"
As they spoke, the two arrived at Qi Zhigang's new house. The two bright red doors were particularly eye-catching and imposing, clearly indicating that it belonged to a wealthy family.
Zhao Youliang did not rush in, but first surveyed the surrounding environment.
The layout is described as "open and bright from north to south and east to west," clearly indicating that wealth is coming from all directions.
Looking at the house again, it is "square and upright, facing the sun and avoiding the shade", which is a "gathering of energy and good fortune" position.
From a feng shui perspective, there's absolutely no reason for such a place to be haunted!
Seeing that Zhao Youliang was looking at the house carefully and could immediately point out the advantages of it, Qi Zhigang trusted him even more.
"Quantum, I never expected that you not only have divine protection, but also understand feng shui."
“You’re absolutely right, that’s exactly how the feng shui master we hired arranged things!”
Zhao Youliang smiled upon hearing this, but wondered to himself: How did I suddenly come to understand feng shui? Could it be related to what I learned in my dream?
The book subtly suggests that the "Laozi Xiang'er Commentary" is a comprehensive collection of Taoist classics, and naturally includes feng shui secrets.
And it's still the relatively low-end segment.
Zhao Youliang only needed to learn a little bit from the books to be far more skilled than many famous feng shui masters, but he just didn't realize it yet.
This is equivalent to someone who's at the bottom of the rankings in a high-level game being thrown into a low-level game, and they can still dominate!
