Just as Zhao Youliang was trying to get a closer look, several police cars had already stopped in front of Lao Wu's house.
Amidst the piercing sirens, police officers emerged from their vehicles and began dispersing the crowd.
Zhao Youliang and Qi Zhigang, two bystanders, were naturally among those dispersed, and thus had no choice but to leave with the crowd.
The strange scene in the courtyard just now clearly frightened Qi Zhigang.
He patted his chest, his voice trembling with lingering fear, and asked.
"Quantum, quantum, what did you just say about arrays?"
"Brother Wu committed suicide?!"
Zhao Youliang slowly shook his head: "I can't be sure yet, but it seems to be pretty close to the truth."
"Old Qi, you go to work first, we'll talk after you get off work."
After seeing Qi Zhigang off, Zhao Youliang moved out a rattan chair and lay down in front of the paper-making shop, drying eggs with the big yellow dog while recalling what had just happened.
"If someone really sets up a demon-gathering formation and tries to turn themselves into a vengeful ghost, then we'll be in big trouble."
"But what deep-seated hatred did Old Wu have for Qi Zhigang that drove him to commit suicide to harm him...?"
At this point, I would like to make a special explanation: suicide is not the way most people think, where you end it all and find complete relief.
It is a serious crime, a very serious one.
This is the beginning of real suffering!!
People who commit suicide will go to hell after death, specifically the fourteenth level, the Hell of Unjust Death.
You should know that it is very difficult to come into this world as a human being; it is an opportunity given to you by the King of Hell.
If you do not cherish your life and commit suicide, such as by cutting your wrists, taking poison, or hanging yourself, you will surely anger the King of Hell and be thrown into the prison for wrongful death after your death.
To be reborn as a human again... that will be difficult!
There are real-life cases documenting the pain following suicide.
The book "Awakening the World with Poems" states: A man surnamed Jiang from Wujiang, unable to win an argument with someone, committed suicide by poisoning himself.
Later, he spoke to people through his wife: "I should not have died, but I was punished and sent to the City of the Wrongfully Dead, to the fiery bed and bronze pillars, where I suffered terribly."
Only then did I realize that living one day is better than dying a thousand years. I advised everyone that it is better to die of anger than to commit suicide, lest you regret it too late and leave in tears.
As can be seen from the above, suicide can only provide temporary relief, but it only adds to the boundless suffering.
Of course, those "enlightened ones" who would rather die than surrender to foreign enemies and serve their country and people are not included in this category.
But I digress. Let's get back to the main point:
Just as Zhao Youliang was completely baffled, police officer Xiao Zhao, who had just finished his shift at the scene, came over.
Upon seeing this, Zhao Youliang quickly got up to greet him and inquired about the specific results of the "survey".
The reason why Officer Zhao came was to talk to Zhao Youliang about the strange things that happened.
Therefore, after confirming that no one was around, he told them everything without any hesitation.
"Do you know about quantum mechanics? It's absolutely incredible!"
"The forensic doctor told us that the dead person in the coffin was strangled to death by the carpenter, Lao Wu."
"Then he cut open his stomach and ate his heart, liver, spleen, lungs, kidneys, and so on."
"Then he used the rope he used to strangle the other person to hang himself!"
"Oh my god, it's really true!" Zhao Youliang's face turned serious upon hearing this. "This is a huge problem!"
"Hey Zhao, you're already being haunted by that vengeful ghost dragging the sack, so you need to be even more careful."
"Unless there's something particularly important going on, you absolutely must stay on duty at the prison and don't come out!"
Police officer Xiao Zhao trusted Zhao Youliang completely, and upon hearing this, he nodded repeatedly and immediately drove the police car straight to the prison.
Before leaving, he also "encouraged" Zhao Youliang: "You, Quantum, hang in there. As far as I know, the expert sent from above will be here soon, in just one or two days."
"The expert who can solve the case with your photo!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Youliang remembered that there was still a terrifying backwards zombie to deal with.
Sigh, there's just one problem after another...
Despite his frustration, Zhao Youliang, who had experienced the hardships of life since childhood, knew the importance of self-reliance.
A moment later, he roused himself and went to the coffin shop to follow Old Liu in his cultivation.
After hearing about the "Gathering Evil Formation," Old Liu's face turned solemn.
And, unprecedentedly, he taught Zhao Youliang many secret techniques, disregarding the rule of only practicing for two hours a day.
Therefore, by the time Zhao Youliang finished learning, it was already 8 PM.
When he rushed to the barbecue restaurant, he found it so popular that it was almost full.
Upon seeing Zhao Youliang arrive late, Li Mao began to complain from afar.
"Quantum, where have you been? Why are you so late?!"
"Oh my god, Yingchun and I are exhausted!"
Upon hearing this, Sister-in-law Yingchun laughed and scolded, "Little Li, can't you speak properly? I'm not exhausted..."
Although this beautiful and spirited widow had a fiery temper, she still didn't utter the word "fart" in front of everyone.
Embarrassed, she quickly changed the subject: "Quantum, where have you been? You're so late. Are you feeling unwell?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Youliang quickly shook his head repeatedly: "I'm not feeling unwell, sister, don't worry."
"Uncle Liu taught us a lot today, and the learning time was long."
"Oh, right, sis, although I just learned how to make this 'paper spirit,' it should be useful when you encounter evil spirits. You and Li Mao must carry it with you at all times."
"What happened to Old Wu the carpenter this morning was a bit strange."
Yingchun's sister-in-law and Li Mao had obviously heard about the death of carpenter Lao Wu, and upon hearing this, they immediately put away the "paper spirit" that Zhao Youliang had given them.
The so-called paper spirits are "soldiers" made by hand by paper craftsmen who have achieved spiritual cultivation, and their appearance has no fixed requirements.
It could be a miniature paper figure, or it could be a small knife or sword.
To use it, simply drip your own blood onto it to "activate" it.
As for the specific power of the "paper spirit," it varies greatly depending on the skill level of the paper craftsman who makes it.
For example, if Old Liu made it himself, it could withstand the attacks of evil spirits with strange phenomena for a while;
What Zhao Youliang did... was better than nothing.
After being busy for a while, Zhao Youliang couldn't help but wonder: Why hasn't Qi Zhigang arrived yet?
They agreed to discuss Lao Wu's matter thoroughly tonight. Logically speaking, Qi Zhigang should have finished work and left by now.
Just as Zhao Youliang was "foolishly waiting for her husband," someone actually walked over from a distance.
However, it wasn't Qi Zhigang, but a strange young man wearing a Taoist robe.
The young Taoist priest walked up to the barbecue stall, observed it carefully for a while, and then walked straight toward Zhao Youliang.
"May the Heavenly Venerable grant you boundless blessings, you must be Zhao Youliang, right?"
"I am Liao Zhiyuan, a disciple of the Zhengyi School, and have been ordered to deal with the matter of the walking corpses."
Upon hearing the young Taoist priest's self-introduction, Zhao Youliang immediately realized: he was the expert that the police officer Xiao Zhao had mentioned during the day, the one sent down from above.
I just didn't expect them to arrive so quickly.
"I'm Zhao Youliang. You're in the same department as the Moutai Master, right?!"
Zhao Youliang gestured for the other person to sit down and poured a cup of hot water for him.
"We've been waiting for you!"
"Master, you have no idea, so many strange things have been happening around here lately!!"
