The next morning, Zhao Youliang prepared to "go down into the tomb" amidst the chilling atmosphere of "the wind howls and the Yi River is cold".
Before this, he had originally wanted to call Yingchun's sister-in-law to let her know, but he hesitated for a long time and still didn't press the button.
With a sigh, he slung his canvas bag over his shoulder and prepared to set off.
Surprisingly, Liao Zhiyuan was already waiting outside the door, his face full of smiles.
Zhao Youliang couldn't help but complain, "Xiao Liao, you have to watch the shop and not cause trouble."
"I can go by myself!"
Liao Zhiyuan remained unmoved and firmly shook his head.
“Brother Quantum, according to the records, Yu Hongtu’s tomb is not large. If we can come back, we will. It won’t delay the time to offer incense at the coffin.”
"If they don't come back... whatever, why bother with what happens after they're gone?"
"Besides, the higher-ups won't just ignore things; the paper-making shop will naturally be taken care of."
"To be honest, none of us are indispensable, or rather, no one is indispensable in our lives."
Liao Zhiyuan's insightful remarks immediately impressed Zhao Youliang.
But he also understood the other party's deeper meaning: they wanted to live and die together with him.
Therefore, he simply hugged Liao Zhiyuan tightly and didn't say anything more.
After Liao Zhiyuan, another big yellow dog was reluctantly and awkwardly led out by Chang Jie.
Chang Jie drifted listlessly ahead, puffing smoke all the way.
The big yellow dog followed behind listlessly, its eyes constantly darting towards Zhao Youliang with hostile intent.
The hooligan dog clearly didn't want to go, but he was only doing so out of respect for Chang Jie, or rather, because he didn't dare to offend the Wanlong Mountain faction.
On the contrary, the lackeys remained carefree and shouted in unison with high morale.
"When rhubarb goes into battle, not a blade of grass will grow."
"Quantum warfare, annihilation without exception!"
Zhao Youliang: "...Damn it!"
Besides the big yellow dog, there was another reluctant follower: the grasshopper spirit.
Seeing Zhao Youliang's questioning gaze, the grasshopper spirit chuckled and spoke.
“Quantum, it’s not just me; all the deities in our shrine are ready to be ‘summoned’ by you at any time.”
"I'm just acting on behalf of... or rather, in case you don't invite us, so I'm in charge of oversight."
"Actually, I really didn't want to follow the old immortal. I was really scared."
"But if we don't share the joys and sorrows, I'm worried that if you get through this, you won't share the benefits with us, the Evil Hall Immortals, so I have no choice but to bite the bullet and come."
"hey-hey......"
Seeing Zhao Youliang's utter embarrassment, Liao Zhiyuan couldn't help but laugh: "Brother Quantum, how do we get to the entrance of the ancient tomb?"
“You can’t just ride your bike and carry me… or carry us there, it’s not exactly close.”
"It's over forty kilometers!"
Just then, Li Mao, who had arranged to meet Zhao Youliang earlier, arrived by car.
"Haha, I'm here!"
"Dog Bro, Egg Bro, Quantum, Xiao Liao, let's go!"
"Oh my, even the old immortal grasshopper is going? I really didn't expect that."
Upon hearing this, the grasshopper spirit laughed and scolded, then reached out and tapped Li Mao's head, which was sticking out of the car.
"You brat, you talk too much nonsense, hurry up and drive!"
The car left the town and drove along the road to the underworld.
Fortunately, it was broad daylight, and with the suppression of the Master's eight swords, even those in the car who had the ability to see ghosts couldn't see anything unusual about the road.
Otherwise, wouldn't it be too exciting to just see two rows of people standing with their backs to the road?
Perhaps because he had thought too much last night and hadn't rested well, Zhao Youliang in the passenger seat was already drowsy.
Not only him, but also Liao Zhiyuan and the big yellow dog in the back row did the same.
Chang Jie, however, was wide awake, chain-smoking one cigarette after another.
If Li Mao hadn't opened the window, the car would probably be filled with fog by now.
After an unknown amount of time, Li Mao suddenly exclaimed in surprise at the beast, and laughed as he nudged Zhao Youliang beside him.
"Quantum, Quantum, wake up! Look at that car up ahead!"
"Holy crap, what happened? Did it fall into the mud and then get pulled out?!"
Zhao Youliang wasn't in a deep sleep to begin with, and immediately opened his eyes upon hearing this.
And sure enough, the car in front of them was completely covered in dried mud.
From a distance, it looks like a small, fast-moving mound.
Even the license plate number and brake lights were no longer visible.
"What a talent! They dare to drive a car like that on the road?!" As he spoke, Li Mao suddenly accelerated, clearly wanting to catch up with the car in front to get a better look.
Zhao Youliang remained extremely calm and spoke in a composed tone.
"Li Mao, I advise you not to chase after him or even watch him, or you'll regret it."
"What?!" Before Li Mao could react, his car was already parallel to the "mud truck".
Through the mud-covered car windows, you could vaguely see that there was no one inside!
Only a single white candle remained in the driver's seat, burning quietly.
Holy crap!
In a moment of panic, Li Mao cleverly managed to nearly cause the car to plunge off the road.
Fortunately, Zhao Youliang reacted quickly and grabbed the steering wheel: "I told you not to look, but you still insisted on looking."
"If you're timid, wouldn't it be better to just be honest?"
Upon hearing this, Li Mao grinned sheepishly: "Quantum, how was I supposed to see something so bizarre in broad daylight?"
"Holy crap, do ghosts no longer avoid people?!"
Zhao Youliang did not explain to Li Mao that the Netherworld Road was not a matter of the mortal realm, so it was possible to see all sorts of strange and unusual things.
Just as the two were talking, the "mud cart" that they had just overtaken caught up closely and drove side by side.
For some reason, Zhao Youliang suddenly felt a surge of anger upon seeing this and let out a cold snort.
"What, you're getting all worked up just because I don't want to talk to you?!"
After speaking, he took out a talisman and was about to chant an incantation.
Just then, Li Mao suddenly cried out in alarm to stop him: "Quantum, quantum, don't make a move!"
"Look closely, who's in that car over there...?"
"Huh?!" Zhao Youliang only looked closely after hearing this.
Not only him, but also Liao Zhiyuan, who was awakened by the violent shaking, was in the same situation.
Inside the parallel ghost carriage, there was no longer just a white candle, but three "people" sitting inside.
Although these people were covered in blood and even had shards of glass stuck in their faces, you could still vaguely make out what they looked like when they were alive.
Even so, Zhao Youliang was certain that he did not know them, and had never even seen them before.
Therefore, he asked Li Mao with suspicion, "Little Li, do you know those ghosts?"
Upon hearing this, Li Mao cautiously answered while maintaining the distance between himself and the ghost car.
"Of course I know him! How could I not know him!"
"Quantum, the driver was Yingchun's husband, the one who was killed in the accident on their wedding day."
"And that day, he was the one who picked up my sister in his own car."
"After the rollover, the car also fell into the mud..."
