For some reason, upon hearing that so many old-fashioned rifles had been unearthed in the mass grave, Zhao Youliang immediately thought of the "ghost soldiers" who had appeared before.
They were wearing clothes from the warlord era and carrying old-fashioned rifles.
Zhao Youliang simply couldn't identify the specific firearm model.
Just as Zhao Youliang was pondering this, he suddenly felt a gust of cold wind.
Then he saw the ghost soldiers he had just imagined appear neatly on the other side of the road and walk towards the paper-making shop.
He was still wearing his light blue military uniform, and his face was still charred from the fire.
Seeing this, Zhao Youliang was greatly alarmed and quickly made up an excuse that he needed to go back for a while.
Then, without even taking off his apron and arm protectors, he ran towards the paper-making shop.
Of course, he wasn't foolish enough to run into the ghost soldiers; instead, he chose to take another path.
Following Zhao Youliang's lead, Liao Zhiyuan, who also possessed the ability to see ghosts, naturally followed suit.
After catching up with Zhao Youliang, he said in a very low voice, "Liang, Brother Quantum, is this always this exciting?"
"Reversed corpses, evil-gathering formations, ghost soldiers... Will even more sinister things appear in the future?!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Youliang smiled wryly and nodded slightly: "Zhiyuan, you're right."
"We also have spirit carts here... I'll introduce you to them in a few days."
Liao Zhiyuan: "..."
When Zhao Youliang and his companion arrived at the paper-making shop, they saw the ghost soldiers already lined up neatly.
Besides the "officer" who once twisted the neck of the fat lama, the leaders were also the three vengeful ghosts that produced strange phenomena.
The vengeful spirits remained unchanged, as if they were standing in front of a giant light source, making it impossible to discern their exact appearance.
And now, this "giant light source" is shining directly on the door of the paper-making shop.
"Quantum, you're back?" Huang Yu's voice echoed in Zhao Youliang's mind.
At the same time, all the immortals possessed Zhao Youliang's body, nervously watching the ghost soldiers in front of him.
"Hmm!" Zhao Youliang nodded slightly: "Brother Huang, do you know what these ghost soldiers are doing?"
Why do they always gather in front of our house? Could it be...?
At this point, Zhao Youliang already knew the answer: the ghost soldiers and vengeful spirits were looking for the two puppets inside!
The three vengeful ghosts with strange appearances kept wailing into the paper-making shop, as if they were saying something.
The two puppets inside wanted to respond, but they were intimidated by the golden lighter and the small wooden sword and couldn't do it at all.
After a short while, the three evil spirits seemed to lose patience and began to float towards the door of the paper-making shop, and then pushed the door open.
In that instant, the yin energy intensified, as if the gates to hell had suddenly been opened.
The paper figures inside instantly came to life, all turning to look at the doorway.
He then chuckled coldly and mechanically moved toward the three vengeful ghosts.
It looked just like a marionette being manipulated at will by a naughty child.
Upon seeing this, the three fierce ghosts were stunned for a moment, and then went to meet them without showing any weakness.
Seeing the tense atmosphere between the two sides, Zhao Youliang couldn't help but wonder: Could it be that the paper men and the ghost soldiers are not in cahoots?
Or perhaps the paper figure and the two puppets are not a group?
Just as Zhao Youliang was pondering whether to risk stopping them from fighting, the life-or-death line, as thick as an infant's arm, suddenly appeared.
Although a breach had been made, gray flames suddenly ignited, like a wall of fire.
The three vengeful ghosts screamed and retreated, while the paper figures trembled and returned to their original positions.
When the vengeful ghost realized it couldn't get in, its resentment intensified.
Amidst a piercing howl, it turned to look at Zhao Youliang.
At the same time, a whole squad of ghost soldiers also looked over.
They were clearly using Zhao Youliang and the spirit mediums in his shrine as punching bags.
The evil immortals were shocked to see this, and the grasshopper spirit even tried to ask the question with trembling hands.
"Quantum, quantum, do you want us to carry you around?"
“Our gang is small and insignificant; we can’t handle such a big scene.”
Zhao Youliang is not stupid, nor is he a fool who would recklessly risk his life in a moment of impulse.
Moreover, judging from the current situation, the ghost soldiers are unable to break through the paper-making shop's restrictions and will not cause any more serious consequences.
Therefore, Zhao Youliang nodded repeatedly without hesitation, while tightly hugging Egg Boy, who was smoking a cigarette and taking deep drags, in his arms.
"Run! Of course we have to run!"
"Thank you so much, venerable elders..."
Just then, another gust of cold wind blew in from afar, carrying with it the stench of corpses.
Then the spirit chariot slowly drove towards them.
It was described as slow, but in reality, it moved forward in a "blinking" manner, and in just a few blinks, it was already not far from the ghost soldiers.
And before the ghost soldiers could react, it roared and charged into their midst.
Several black chains flew out, pulling nearby ghost soldiers into the Yin Spirit Cart.
Caught off guard by the sudden attack, the ghost soldiers, led by their officers, fought back fiercely and charged at the Yin Spirit Chariot without flinching.
The Yinling Chariot seemed unwilling to engage in a direct confrontation with the ghost soldiers. It continuously released black chains to wrap around the ghost soldiers and pull them into the chariot while rapidly retreating.
The ghost soldiers and three vengeful spirits chased after the Yin Spirit Cart, heading out of the town, and disappeared from the sight of Zhao Youliang and the other "people" in the blink of an eye.
After a moment, Zhao Youliang finally came to his senses and muttered a complaint.
"Wow, isn't this a real-life version of 'Encounters of the Spooky Kind'...?"
Liao Zhiyuan, who was seeing such a grand scene for the first time, was clearly not in the mood to listen to Zhao Youliang's nonsense and quickly pulled him back to the shrine where the gods were worshipped.
"Quantum Bro, you guys actually have a ghost car here... This is too eerie."
“Our new Bazi (Four Pillars of Destiny) school emphasizes seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune. If that doesn’t work, I’ll take you somewhere else to look for opportunities.”
"Although it certainly doesn't have the same opportunities as where you stayed, it's still better than facing a life-or-death situation."
Liao Zhiyuan's words left Zhao Youliang speechless with despair.
If he could leave, he would have left long ago. Why would he need Liao Zhiyuan to remind him? Zhao Youliang isn't stupid.
He sighed and pulled out his signed "employment contract".
Surprisingly, after hearing Zhao Youliang's account, Liao Zhiyuan didn't take the "Yinshan Ghost Contract" seriously.
After examining it carefully for a while, he said, "Brother Quantum, 'choose the lesser of two evils'."
"Although the Yinshan Ghost Contract is domineering, it is nothing compared to the Yin Spirit Chariot."
"In that case, if you agree to give up the idea of 'fortune favors the bold' and come with me, I'll try to see if I can crack the code now."
"Xiao Liao, can you help me 'terminate the contract'?!" Zhao Youliang's face lit up with surprise upon hearing this.
As the saying goes: if one can stay away from danger, who would be willing to risk their life?
Mencius told us, his descendants, long ago that a wise man does not stand under a crumbling wall.
Although Zhao Youliang wanted to leave, he still looked at Huang Yu and Chang Jie.
Since he knew that opportunities and risks coexisted, he naturally had to respect the opinions of these two men.
We can't let our cowardice hinder the development of Huang's younger brother and Egg's younger brother...
