"Behind us?!" Zhao Youliang and his companion turned around immediately upon hearing this, and saw the long-unseen Yinling chariot slowly driving towards them.
The car body was still a stark white, with a stark white funeral couplet and white flowers on the front.
At this crucial moment, Li Mao was extremely filial: "Holy crap, no way!"
"Grandpa, run! This thing only catches dead people like you... Grandpa, where are you? You've already disappeared..."
Seeing that Grandpa Li Lianying had left first, Zhao Youliang and his companion quickly got on their old bicycles and rode away.
After all, the Yinling Cart was too mysterious and too evil, and Zhao Youliang had no confidence in dealing with it.
Unfortunately, two wheels can never outrun four wheels, and the roads in the cemetery were full of potholes. Zhao Youliang and his companion hadn't ridden for long before the spirit chariot caught up with them.
In a moment of panic, Zhao Youliang hurriedly ordered his little egg, "Egg Boy, hurry up, slow him down!"
"Just like how you dealt with Yu Hongtu last time!"
Chang Jie remained listless, only managing to turn his head to look at the Yin Spirit Cart before speaking.
"Quantum, I can only control people, not cars."
"Why don't you ask the driver to get out, and I'll slow him down?"
Zhao Youliang: "......"
Just when Zhao was at his wit's end and chose to continue pedaling his old bicycle, Chang Jie spoke up again.
"Quantum, don't be disappointed. Although I can't slow down the car, I can speed it up. Do you want to use it?"
Zhao Youliang: "......"
As it turns out, Chang Jie is a good boy and never brags.
After yelling at Zhao Youliang, "Short legs, hurry up and walk faster so you won't get beaten up," his old bicycle, which rattled everywhere except for the bell, shot off like it had been given a rocket booster.
The intense push made Zhao Youliang scream, "Oh my god, that's so exciting!"
"Wait a minute, Eggboy, you can only speed up yourself, right? Where's Li Mao?!"
Upon realizing this, Zhao Youliang quickly turned his head and saw Li Mao, who was about to be caught by the Yin Spirit Chariot, almost crying.
And a thick, centipede-like iron chain extended from the Yin Spirit Cart, about to wrap around Li Mao.
"Wow!"
Upon seeing this, Zhao Youliang abandoned his bicycle and, risking losing all his teeth, jumped down with a whoosh.
"Hang in there, Xiao Li, I'm coming to help... Ouch, that hurts!"
Just as Zhao Youliang was falling flat on his face, Grandpa Li Lianying, who had been the first to escape, suddenly appeared.
And it was accompanied by a huge, densely packed horde of ghosts.
Although most of them are old, weak, sick, or disabled, there are also some malevolent spirits among them.
After the group of ghosts appeared, they immediately howled and blocked the Yin Spirit Cart, preventing the iron chains from grabbing Li Mao.
Taking advantage of this moment, Zhao Youliang ran over, enduring the pain from the fall, and raised his hand to cast a "Ghost-Slaying Talisman".
The Yinling Chariot is a "strange" vehicle that even ghost messengers dare to pull, so it naturally has nothing to fear from Zhao Youliang's rabble.
Immediately, more black iron chains stretched out, like the tentacles of a deep-sea monster, sweeping over in dense, overwhelming force.
Seeing this, Zhao Youliang quickly shouted, "Run! Everyone run!"
In fact, Zhao Youliang didn't need to say anything. The ghosts who came with Old Master Li Lianying had already scattered with screams and chattered as they fled into the distance.
Zhao Youliang also pulled up the terrified Li Mao and followed the group of ghosts to escape.
As he ran, Li Mao took out a handful of coffin nails from his pocket and threw them on the ground.
"If you keep chasing me, I'll puncture your tires!"
Surprisingly, the moment Li Mao dropped the nails, the ghost chariot actually stopped chasing him.
After a slight hesitation, he slowly turned around and headed back the way he came.
"This..." Just as Zhao Youliang was wondering, the group of ghosts, including Old Master Li Lianying, who were running ahead, also stopped.
After the spirit chariot left, they gathered around chatteringly.
"Don't be surprised, this is based on our experience as ghosts over the years."
"As long as you get to this area, the ghost chariot won't chase you."
"Otherwise, they would have arrested us all long ago!"
"Otherwise, I wouldn't dare bring the neighbors back to rescue you two, hehe."
Grandpa Li Lianying's words immediately calmed Li Mao down, who had just been deeply moved.
However, he still politely kowtowed to the ghosts around him—after all, they were all his grandfathers, even an infant.
Although they died young, they were born early too...
After kowtowing once, Li Mao was already dizzy and lightheaded, and only then did he speak.
"Sir, I didn't expect you to still be so popular even after you're dead. You managed to get so many people to come and rescue me and Quantum. Thank you!"
Upon hearing this, Old Master Li Lianying's face was filled with pride and self-satisfaction.
"Absolutely!"
"Grandpa has been preaching for so many years, and although I'm not very good at spreading the teachings, I'm very popular!"
Li Mao was even more surprised after hearing his grandfather's words.
"Seriously, sir? You can preach? As powerful as quantum mechanics?"
"How come neither my dad nor I knew about this?"
Are you a Taoist or a Buddhist? Could you teach me?
"My lord, you have no idea, things are getting weirder and weirder here!"
Grandpa Li Lianying was a little embarrassed by the question, and only spoke hesitantly after a moment.
“Little hat, I’m a Catholic.”
Li Mao: "......"
"Sir, are you sure you're not joking?"
"Do you think it's possible that this area is under the jurisdiction of the King of Hell?"
Grandpa Li Lianying was even more embarrassed upon hearing this: "Yes, that's why my neighbors who believe in the religion haven't been able to reincarnate in the underworld for so long."
Zhao Youliang and Li Mao: "..."
Although Li Mao was a bit simple-minded, he knew he couldn't ask any more questions at this point.
If they asked again, they and their grandfather would most likely be beaten up by a horde of ghosts...
(Special note: The author respects any religious belief that encourages people to be kind and has no malicious intent.)
After a brief moment of awkwardness, Zhao Youliang asked.
"Old man, does anyone know what changing the feng shui is all about?"
Upon hearing this, the ghosts shook their heads, indicating that they were all insignificant people and had no idea what was going on.
All we know is that it was a kind-hearted big shot who sent the message, telling all the ghosts here to move out quickly, or it would be too late.
Although these ghosts, who cannot be reincarnated, cannot stray too far from their homeland, one should still try to avoid them.
"Instructions from an important person?"
Seeing that they couldn't get any information out of them, Zhao Youliang and Li Mao had no choice but to take their leave, as they couldn't delay the move.
Before leaving, Grandpa Li Lianying reminded Li Mao not to buy paper money indiscriminately when visiting his grave in the future, but to use the same paper money that Zhao Youliang burned today.
Upon hearing this, Li Mao nodded repeatedly in agreement, and then reluctantly parted ways with his grandfather.
