Chang Jie's words secretly alarmed Zhao Youliang: because this strange direct descendant of the Chang family had never been afraid of anything.
Even when faced with danger, they would rush forward, muttering: "The Chang family will fight to the death and never retreat."
Why are you scared now?!
Could it be that the evil spirits inside have suddenly become incredibly powerful?!
Before Zhao Youliang could ask, Chang Jie had already spoken weakly.
"I'm out of cigarettes, I forgot to bring any."
"How about we go back and get some cigarettes first, then come back and fight the evil thing?"
Zhao Youliang and others: "..."
Only cowardly thugs who bully the weak and fear the strong wholeheartedly agreed with Chang Jie's proposal.
It barked a few times, as if to say, "You wait, I'm going back to get my cigarettes," and then turned to run away.
Fortunately, Zhao Youliang reacted quickly, grabbing the big yellow dog's bald tail and pulling it back with all his might.
"Sir, sir, don't run away!"
"Go ahead and bully me with the same attitude you used to! What are you afraid of, some dirty stuff!"
If the surrounding environment weren't so unsuitable for beating up Zhao Youliang, this guy would definitely have gotten another beating from those thugs...
Just as the man and the dog were pulling hard, the two pale white doors suddenly opened.
A foul-smelling gust of wind blew in, causing Zhao Youliang to cough repeatedly.
Following the eerie wind came five figures with distorted gaits.
They wore ancient armor and carried various weapons such as spears and broadswords.
Seeing this, the grasshopper spirit, while remaining vigilant, asked in a low voice.
"Things from the old days? Isn't it that the Wu guy has come back for revenge?!"
Zhao Youliang was quick-witted; he pulled the big yellow dog in front of him while answering.
"The Five Gods, these should be the Five Gods!"
"How did they get out if they didn't fight the filth?!"
At this moment, the Five Gods had no supernatural powers as described in legends. Instead, their faces were distorted, and they kept muttering to Zhao Youliang.
Judging from the shape of his lips, he was clearly saying, "Help me...help me..."
Before Zhao Youliang and the others could react, bursts of chilling laughter rang out.
Then Wutongshen screamed and was torn to pieces like a rag.
Amidst the flying debris, the terrifying face of Old Wu's wife, the carpenter, was revealed.
"Hehehe, you've come? You'll all die too..."
As they spoke, Old Wu's wife slowly floated towards the gate, a thick fog obscuring Zhao Youliang and the others' view.
Zhao Youliang was cautious. He took out a paper dog he had cut out himself from his pocket, bit his middle finger and smeared the blood on it, then tossed it forward.
"Paper connects the yin and yang, it manifests its power!"
The paper dog immediately came to life, first giving the big yellow dog a fawning smile, then wiggling its rear end as it ran into the yard.
A moment later, it ran out and barked wildly at the big yellow dog.
Seeing this, Zhao Youliang was extremely embarrassed, secretly resenting that his paper-cutting was so afraid of the hooligan dog, and at the same time spoke up.
"Let's go in, it shouldn't be too dangerous inside."
After saying that, he nudged the big yellow dog with his thigh, wanting him to lead the way.
The big yellow dog was too clever to be a scout; it immediately bared its teeth and threatened.
Left with no other choice, Zhao Youliang could only let the paper dog lead the way while he followed closely behind.
As soon as they stepped into the fog, the paper dog that had been running around happily at the front suddenly screamed and tore into pieces.
Zhao Youliang and his group quickly stopped.
The grasshopper spirit trembled even more: "Quantum...quantum, is this what you mean by no danger?!"
Just as Zhao Youliang was feeling extremely embarrassed, the valiant prisoner and the honest Xiong Ba stepped forward and strode into the thick fog.
"Hmph, now that you know we're here, why bother with all this mystery?"
"Why not have a real fight!"
As if those words had worked, the thick fog in front of us immediately dissipated, revealing the courtyard.
Two eerie puppets sat in the middle, with Old Wu's wife and the evil ghost dragging a sack standing behind them.
Two rows of ghost soldiers stood on either side.
Further away, the remaining half of the "Hundred Demons" stood in groups of three or five, like servants watching the spectacle.
Guo Zhengde and his family knelt in the middle, in front of the two effigies.
He kept his head down and remained silent, like a death row inmate who had already confessed.
Before Zhao Youliang could speak, the eerie singing voice emanated from the female doll's body.
"You tricked my cowardly soul, and the Grand Tutor sat in the yamen."
"I moved aside and wondered why there was all this chatter. It turned out that something had happened in the garden."
“The dignified prime minister sits in the government office, his anger is like thunder, and he frightens me, a timid little man, to death.”
After the singing ended, the male puppet uttered a voice like that of a eunuch: "Cut!"
Immediately, several ferocious demons appeared behind the kneeling Guo Zhengde family, and with swift movements, their knives fell, and heads rolled.
Amidst the gushing of blood, Mayor Guo, who had lorded it over the town for years, died at the hands of an evil spirit...
Seeing this, the grasshopper spirit, who was already frightened, became even more terrified.
"Quantum, quantum, did we all come here for nothing?"
"Can we go back now...?"
The moment the word "go back" left his mouth, a loud bang rang out, and the courtyard gate was slammed shut.
Then all the vengeful ghosts, grinning maliciously, slowly approached Zhao Youliang and the others.
Zhao Youliang was naturally unwilling to sit idly by and wait for his death. While rapidly turning the prayer wheel, he handed the human bone rosary to Liao Zhiyuan.
The vengeful ghost was clearly wary of chanting, and immediately stopped upon seeing this.
Only the ghost soldiers remained fearless, continuing to march in orderly formation and surround them.
Upon seeing this, Huang Yu quickly waved the command flag in his hand.
The spirits in the shrine immediately appeared and confronted the charging ghost soldiers.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Zhao Youliang quickly spoke to the two puppets.
"Brothers and sisters, I'll say it again: can you spare the innocent people in this town?"
"As long as you spare them, I don't care about your revenge, nor do I dare to interfere."
After Zhao Youliang finished speaking, the female doll did not react at all, remaining sitting there coldly.
The male puppet suddenly stood up and gave Zhao Youliang a mechanical, eerie smile.
"You all must die!"
After saying that, his right arm suddenly swelled up to more than two meters long and reached out to grab Zhao Youliang's neck.
Zhao Youliang, naturally unwilling to sit idly by and await his death, immediately began chanting incantations.
"Heavenly spirits, earthly spirits, please let the spiritual energy of heaven and earth manifest in all directions, let the dragon roam the blessed land, and dispel evil and bring good fortune."
"break!"
The incantation was completed, and the talisman flew out, heading straight for the ghostly hand.
At the same time, the half-dead Chang Jie also flew up and used his chubby little head to crash into the ghost hand.
He kept muttering to himself, "I'm not afraid of you hitting me, I'm going to Wanlong Mountain to find my dad."
"My dad has a big tail, he'll whip you until you scream and cry..."
