Back in town, Zhao Youliang suddenly felt something was amiss:
He remembered that after the old scoundrel Qi died, he was put into the Yin Spirit Cart.
To be precise, everyone who dies in the town will be taken away by the ghost car.
Why did Old Man Qi end up in the hands of the giant ghost dressed in official robes? And why was he being used as a weapon against him?
Also, why would the big demon be fighting with two puppets? They looked like they had some kind of irreconcilable hatred.
......
After the barbecue restaurant closed, Zhao Youliang returned to the paper shop and told Huang Yu and the others what had happened that night.
Everyone looked thoughtful upon hearing this.
A moment later, the little dumpling finally spoke in a childish voice.
“Brother Quantum, I understand. The Yin Spirit Cart filled the graves of everyone on it, which is why Old Man Qi ended up in the hands of the Big Ghost.”
"The giant demon must be the owner of the great tomb!"
"Huh?!" Zhao Youliang was stunned upon hearing this: "Fill the grave? What do you mean by filling the grave?!"
The little dumpling is still young, so her language expression is not very clear.
Even so, Zhao Youliang understood the gist of it.
In fact, filling in graves and filling in tombs are the same thing.
The only difference is that filling graves is done by the living for the dead, while filling tombs is done by ghosts for ghosts.
It means driving other ghosts into the tomb so that they can be at the beck and call of the tomb's owner.
Filling graves and tombs are essentially both ways of commemorating the dead, or rather, ways of appeasing the souls of the departed.
"So that's how it is..." Zhao Youliang nodded repeatedly.
"Could that giant ghost we encountered today be from the Dragon Patrol Cave?!"
The one who answered Zhao Youliang was the corpse driver Zhao Hongwei.
"It can't be!"
"If the thing in the Dragon Soaring to the Sky Cave were to come out, it would surely be a scene of earth-shattering upheaval."
"It's practically like Qin Shi Huang driving his chariot out of his underground palace!"
"Faced with such an existence, Quantum, you and those two puppets probably wouldn't even have a chance to fight back. Its mere aura would be enough to obliterate a 'person's' soul!"
Zhao Youliang wasn't stupid; upon hearing this, he immediately understood the gravity of the situation.
After a moment's thought, he spoke again: "I know, it's that large tomb where the Seven Tragic Stones are buried!"
"The giant ghost that was chasing me just now is the owner of that tomb!!"
The others nodded in agreement: "Yes, that should be it."
After putting everything together, Zhao Youliang suddenly realized another serious problem.
My own spirit soul was also on the Yin Spirit Chariot, so does that mean it was buried with me?!
That giant demon is so powerful, do I still have a chance to get the Sparrow Yin Soul back?!
Am I destined to be the last eunuch in China?!
Actually, it doesn't matter if I become a eunuch, since I'm destined to have no offspring anyway, and I probably won't need that thing in this lifetime.
But what should we do, Grandma Mi and Uncle Sun? They're both in the car too!
Besides the two elders, there was also Sister-in-law Yingchun... Sister-in-law Yingchun seems to have come down...
The more Zhao Youliang thought about it, the more desperate he felt. He simply gave up on the "soul-summoning" ritual he had originally planned for himself and went straight to bed.
They couldn't even get it back by force, so how could they possibly recall it by summoning?!
Nonsense! A waste of effort!!
Unfortunately, the tree may wish to be still, but the wind will not cease: not long after Zhao Youliang lay down, he suddenly seemed to hear someone calling his name.
The sound was ethereal and eerie.
Zhao Youliang was no longer the novice he once was, and upon hearing the sound, he immediately realized that it was a ghost calling for its soul.
He initially intended to ignore it, but upon closer listening, the voice calling for the soul seemed familiar—it was actually the female doll!
"No way, they've come looking for a fight?!"
Zhao Youliang quickly scrambled to his feet and turned on the light.
At the same time, he shouted, "Brother Prisoner and Brother Huang, get up quickly! Something evil has come knocking!"
"Hey Dog Bro, wake up! Something dirty is bullying us!"
As it turns out, the spirit mediums in the shrine were far more astute than Zhao Youliang.
Just as Zhao Youliang finished shouting, Huang Yu's voice came from the backyard.
"Quartz, stop shouting. We already knew that."
"Hurry up and come to the back!"
Zhao Youliang quickly responded, "Oh, oh, oh!"
When he got to the backyard, he found that the big yellow dog was there too, looking at him with disdain.
Zhao Youliang dared not offend this rogue dog, so he could only nod and bow with a forced smile, looking just like a translator meeting the Japanese.
The first person to speak to Zhao Youliang was the corpse driver... Zhao Hongwei, a zombie.
"Quantum Bro, look outside."
Looking through the window in the direction Zhao Hongwei was pointing, Zhao Youliang saw two puppets and the last remaining officer's ghost standing stiffly in the pale moonlight.
The female doll kept waving at Zhao Youliang, and the voice was indeed hers.
"It really is them! Are they trying to start a fight?!"
When it comes to fighting, Zhao Youliang is no longer so afraid of the two puppets:
Firstly, his skills have improved, and he is now able to use many powerful moves that he couldn't use before.
Secondly, since we're currently in a paper-making shop, I can use a small wooden knife whenever I'm in a hurry.
According to Zhao Youliang's own estimation, his kidneys could withstand three or four knife stabs.
There are only three dirty things left on the other side, so the advantage is on my side!
Just as Zhao Youliang picked up the command flag enshrined in the shrine, intending to invite the immortals to arrange their troops, the male puppet suddenly spoke.
The voice remained as sharp and piercing as that of a eunuch.
Speaking of eunuchs, Zhao Youliang immediately thought of Que Yinpo, who had been captured, and felt a pang of sadness.
Surprisingly, the puppets weren't there to fight, but to negotiate.
