Realizing that warlord Wu might be quite formidable, Liao Zhiyuan made thorough preparations.
First, a yellow cloth with the Bagua (Eight Trigrams) drawn on it was laid on the ground, and then the iron box was placed on it.
Then he took out the incense burner and respectfully lit three sticks of incense.
After respectfully kowtowing three times to the incense burner, Liao Zhiyuan scraped off some rust from the iron box, wrapped it in yellow paper, and lit it.
He then sat cross-legged on the yellow cloth, closed his eyes, and began chanting incantations.
"Heaven's decree returns to my heart, the nine heavens pursue my soul, and I wield the power to turn the seasons three times."
"rise!"
As the incantation was completed, the smoke from the burning yellow paper that Liao Zhiyuan had just released drifted out of the shrine as if it possessed a spirit.
After lingering outside the window for a moment, it flew straight off in one direction.
After a while, Liao Zhiyuan, who was doing the deduction with his eyes closed, suddenly looked pained and was even sweating profusely.
"Oh no, Xiao Liao is about to suffer a backlash!"
Just as Zhao Youliang was about to help, he suddenly felt a violent and chilling aura rushing towards him.
It's like a raging, burly man charging forward, trying to kick open a paper house.
And their own shrine was that paper house.
Sensing the chilling aura, all the immortals unconsciously trembled.
Only the big yellow dog looked furious and barked wildly at the door.
It sounded like a curse, or perhaps a declaration of war.
Besides the big yellow dog, Egg Boy also spoke weakly.
"Here it comes, here it comes, the nasty evil thing is coming."
At this critical moment, two cold snorts came from the memorial tablets of the Chang family patriarch and the Hui family patriarch, respectively.
In an instant, the paper house turned into a steel plate.
After the "strong man" kicked the steel plate, he immediately screamed and fled, the chilling aura disappearing in an instant.
Liao Zhiyuan opened his eyes at that moment and coughed up a mouthful of blood.
Zhao Youliang quickly stepped forward to help him up, asking, "Xiao Liao, are you alright?!"
Liao Zhiyuan took a deep breath and paused for a moment before speaking.
"Brother Quantum, that thing really is there, and it's incredibly powerful!"
"If it weren't for the two family heads showing their power just now, I would have been in real trouble!"
As Liao Zhiyuan spoke, he bowed deeply to the ancestral tablets of the two heads of the Chang and Hui families: "Nephew Liao Zhiyuan thanks the two elders for their protection!"
After bowing, Liao Zhiyuan smiled wryly: "Quantum, you can't calculate where that thing is, but you can vaguely feel a sense of oppression and dampness."
"It must be underground, buried deep underground!"
......
When people have something to do, they feel that time flies by, just like Zhao Youliang, who had been practicing meditation for a day.
After nightfall, he took Liao Zhiyuan and the zombie Zhao Hongwei to the barbecue restaurant to help out.
Speaking of Zhao Hongwei, he's becoming increasingly strange: not only does he need to eat, but he also gets hungry very easily.
To put it simply, it would take at least ten pounds of rice and five pounds of meat a day to make enough for one person.
And the more they eat, the fatter they get, growing at a visible rate.
Zhao Youliang even suspected that if things continued this way, Zhao Hongwei would have to change into a new set of clothes every two weeks.
And they couldn't even buy the right size, so they had to have it custom-made at a tailor shop.
Fortunately, Zhao Hongwei's entire sect had died out, and he was the only successor.
Therefore, he is not short of money and can support himself. He also often helps Zhao Youliang.
"Hey, quantum mechanics has arrived!"
Upon seeing Zhao Youliang, the residents who were having barbecue greeted him warmly.
"Hurry up, come over for a drink when you're not busy, you ran off yesterday!"
Looking at the dozen or so enthusiastic tables of guests, Zhao Youliang could only manage a wry smile.
If this continues, even someone with an iron stomach won't be able to handle it!
Fortunately, at the critical moment, Director Zhou of the Urban Management Bureau arrived with his colleagues and helped Zhao Youliang out of the predicament with a smile.
"Hey guys, stop messing around. I'm paying for Quantum today, so you'll just have to keep me company, hahaha!"
Director Zhou, like Chen Wei, served the people and was very popular.
Therefore, after he spoke, the others immediately laughed and said: Then let's drink quantum again tomorrow.
After Zhao Youliang sat down next to Director Zhou, he asked in a low voice.
"Brother Zhou, did you encounter anything strange while leveling the graves today?"
"No," Director Zhou replied with a smile.
"But I dug up something strange, so I brought it here to show you."
As Director Zhou spoke, he took out a small, cold, blood-red stone and quietly handed it to Zhao Youliang.
"Quantum, I don't think it's a good thing."
"Because if it weren't wrapped in the talisman you gave me, I would have felt terrified when I held it!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Youliang became even more cautious, carefully taking the item in his hand to examine it.
Just then, Chang Jie, who was being held on his head, suddenly spoke.
"The yin energy is so heavy, it's almost as heavy as my Wanlong Cave."
"Quantum, this thing should be one of the Seven Tragic Stones."
"Seven Tragic Stones?!" Zhao Youliang certainly remembered this familiar name.
After all, it was because of this that he was misunderstood by the sorcerer.
"Egg Boy, you're saying this is one of them? Does that mean the Seven Tragic Stones are seven pieces?!"
"Yes." Chang Jie nodded weakly.
As a result of this action, cigarette ash fell all over Zhao Youliang's face, choking him and causing him to cough.
Fortunately, Director Zhou and his colleagues knew that Zhao Youliang had a spirit guide, so they were not surprised.
"The Seven Tragic Stones are of course seven pieces, with each of the seven 'tragic' characters transforming into one piece."
"It is said that if they are put together, they can directly open the gates of the oil frying hell."
The oil cauldron hell is the ninth level of the legendary eighteen levels of hell.
Those who commit robbery, bully the weak, falsely accuse and slander others, or plot to seize others' property or wives will be thrown into the oil cauldron hell after death.
Strip them naked and fry them in hot oil.
Looking at the Seven Tragic Stones in his hand, Zhao Youliang immediately called Zhao Hongwei over.
The corpse-drivers were wiped out because they were searching for this item.
Sure enough, after Zhao Hongwei received the Seven Tragic Stones, his expression became excited, and his eyes even filled with tears.
He was clearly thinking of the other corpse drivers who had died tragically.
"Seven Tragic Stones!"
"The only treasure that can be used to refine the 'Seven Fiend Corpses' is the Seven Tragic Stone!"
The Seven Killings originally referred to one of the Eight Gods in Chinese astrology, namely the Disaster Killing, Blood Killing, Hook Killing, Death Killing, etc.
I won't go into the details here; interested readers can look it up themselves.
The Seven Fiend Corpses mentioned by Zhao Hongwei were refined based on this "principle".
As for the specific purpose of the refining, he didn't say, and Zhao Youliang didn't ask further.
After all, everyone has their own secrets, and even the closest friends shouldn't pry into them.
After Zhao Hongwei calmed down, Zhao Youliang finally spoke and asked.
"Hongwei, is this thing still useful to you? If it is, then keep it."
“It’s useful, of course it’s useful!” Zhao Hongwei nodded repeatedly.
Meanwhile, to Zhao Youliang's astonishment, he forcefully stuffed the Seven Tragic Stone into his navel.
The amazing thing is that there was no bleeding... no discharge...
After the Seven Tragic Stones entered his body, Zhao Hongwei's originally large body instantly became much thinner.
Although he was still incredibly fat, he had gained a more robust appearance.
