No matter what happened, the man never blamed his younger brother, who was a "Buddha and a demon in one," and therefore just smiled even more gently.
"Whether you become a demon or not, power is just a means, and there is no distinction between good and evil."
"This is the same principle as a sword being held by different people. There is no right or wrong sword, only wrong people who use the sword."
At this point, the gentleman turned to look at the owner of Wanlong Mountain beside him.
Upon seeing this, Chang Huaiyuan immediately understood what the gentleman meant and nodded in response with a smile.
"Since you are so kind and generous, how could I, Chang, be stingy with my meager skills?"
"After entering his dream tonight, I will pass on the 'Gentleman's Sword' to him."
At this point, Zhao Youliang finally learned the second move of the "Three Perfections of Swordsmanship"—the Gentleman.
......
Unaware that his luck had suddenly turned around, Zhao Youliang had already arrived at the barbecue stall.
Looking at the crowd surrounded by deathly aura and then at the heavy resentment in the sky, Zhao Youliang couldn't help but feel heavy-hearted and subconsciously muttered to himself.
"No, we can't be this passive!"
"I need to find a way to take the initiative and take care of these scoundrels one by one... at the very least, I need to force them to promise not to harm the innocent!"
Just as Zhao Youliang was pondering this, Liao Zhiyuan, who had also come to help, walked over.
“Brother Quantum, you’re right. But the one who tied the knot must untie it. We need to figure out the grudges between the evil thing and the five major families first.”
"Only after understanding it can we avoid making unfounded statements."
"As for the breakthrough point... it lies with Qi Shan!"
"After what we did for him before, he trusts us now!"
......
At this moment, Qi Shan was keeping vigil for his father in the ancestral hall, along with Qi Zhigang.
After his "life-borrowing" technique was broken, Old Man Qi immediately "kicked the bucket".
Feeling guilty, Qi Shan burned paper money in the brazier while muttering to himself.
"Father, you can't blame me for being heartless. You can only blame yourself."
"What kind of old man in the world would borrow lifespan from his own children and grandchildren?"
"If Zhigang and I were to die from your worship, wouldn't our Qi family line end?"
As they were talking, Qi Shan suddenly felt a chill coming from his father's coffin.
Then a cold wind howled in the ancestral hall, blowing paper ash into the air and forming small tornadoes.
Upon seeing this, Qi Shan hurriedly kowtowed repeatedly: "Could it be that sinister? Father, even in death you won't rest?!"
Just then, several crisp sounds were heard. It turned out that the ancestral tablets enshrined in the middle of the ancestral hall had cracked open, and pitiful cries came from inside.
"H-How could this happen!?"
Qi Shan was shocked to see this and quickly pushed Qi Zhigang, who was equally surprised.
"Don't just stand there like an idiot! Hurry up and go invite that kid Zhao Youliang... Master Zhao!"
"If our ancestors are not at peace, our descendants will suffer. It seems our Qi family is doomed!"
Qi Zhigang nodded repeatedly upon hearing this, and at the same time took out his phone to call Zhao Youliang.
"Liang, Quantum, could you please come to my ancestral hall right now? It seems like... it seems like we're going to have bad luck again..."
When Zhao Youliang and Liao Zhiyuan arrived, they saw Qi Zhigang and his son kneeling in the eerie wind, kowtowing repeatedly.
Black liquid was continuously flowing from the shattered ancestral tablets.
Given Qi Zhigang's character, Zhao Youliang couldn't just stand by and watch him die, so he quickly took out a talisman to ward off evil spirits and placed it between his index and middle fingers.
"The five stars shine brightly, illuminating the darkest realm. Thousands of gods and saints protect my true spirit. Giant beasts subdue the five weapons. Five demons perish and are annihilated. Wherever I go, all gods welcome me."
"Hurry, hurry, as the law commands!"
As soon as the incantation was finished, the talisman in Zhao Youliang's hand exploded into a ball of fire, and the eerie wind immediately dissipated beneath the flames.
Without hesitation, Zhao Youliang took out several more black talismans and pasted them onto the cracked ancestral tablet.
Seeing how powerful Zhao Youliang was, Qi Shan was like a drowning man grasping at the last straw.
"Nephew, you've finally arrived! Come and see what's going on!"
Zhao Youliang would have no sympathy whatsoever for Qi Shan, this immoral person.
Hearing this, he sneered: "What else could it be? He's done too many despicable things and is now getting his comeuppance!"
"If we don't crack this at its root, your Qi family is truly doomed!"
Upon hearing this, Qi Shan was so frightened that he fell to the ground: "The roots? The roots? You mean the ancestors?!"
Zhao Youliang ignored him and simply helped Qi Zhigang walk out of the ancestral hall.
"Brother Gang, it's dangerous here. You should sleep with Zhiyuan tonight."
Seeing this, Qi Shan quickly followed closely, his face contorted with grief.
"Nephews, don't go! I'll talk, I'll talk, okay?!"
Through Qi Shan's explanation, Zhao Youliang finally understood the root of all the strange occurrences...
Before the Republic of China era, during the warlord era in China, this small town was occupied by a warlord surnamed Wu.
Later, the Wu warlord was defeated by another warlord, and his whole family, along with the remaining hundred or so soldiers, went into hiding here.
As mentioned earlier, although he was a warlord, he was still quite good to the people.
Instead of oppressing the poor, they often helped them.
However, the Wu family, the warlords, ultimately underestimated the wickedness of human nature.
The ancestors of the Qi family, who belonged to one of the five major clans, coveted each other's wealth and thus harbored murderous intentions.
So, on the night of the wedding of the young master and mistress of the Wu warlord, they put sleeping pills in the food (Note 1).
Once the drug took effect, they first moved the unconscious soldiers together, then poured fuel on them and burned them to death.
