Li Mao is foolish, but Zhao Youliang is not; he has already grasped the crux of the problem.
"Boss Hu, since Brother Chen Wei brought you here, I'll sincerely help you."
"But you have to tell me first what grudge you have against those two ghosts."
"Only by understanding cause and effect can we resolve the problem at its source."
Here's a special explanation: In real life, when people inside a household deal with evil spirits, they mainly focus on neutralizing them.
Violent suppression is extremely rare, let alone beating the opponent to the point of complete annihilation.
Especially among Buddhist disciples, there are no spells or incantations to kill evil spirits; it is all about deliverance.
Because humans are the most intelligent of all beings, killing ghosts and killing people are essentially the same; both diminish one's virtue.
Even setting aside the issue of damaging one's karma, the evil spirit was innocent to begin with, risking never being able to reincarnate to come back for revenge, and then you killed the evil spirit without distinguishing right from wrong.
Doesn't this count as aiding and abetting evil?
Even worse, some hypocrites who cultivate the Tao but not their hearts, though they do not kill the evil spirits, rely on their Taoist cultivation to make the evil spirits kind, forgive them, and let go of their grudges.
When I encounter such behavior, all I can say is "heh heh".
To express my feelings, I'd like to borrow a quote from Mr. Guo:
You just got stabbed here, and it's still bleeding. Then someone comes over and tells you to be magnanimous and to let go of your grudges and forgive the other person.
You'd better stay away from people like that, because if they get struck by lightning one day, you might get caught in the crossfire!
Are you trying to die?!
Ahem, we've digressed. Let's get back to the main topic.
Hu Dalu appeared slightly flustered after hearing Zhao Youliang's words.
After stammering for a moment, he finally spoke awkwardly, "Young Brother Zhao, right?"
"To tell you the truth: I do know those two devils. They used to be the ones who tightened screws at our factory."
"I just don't know why they committed suicide one after another... Their suicides really have nothing to do with me!"
"If you don't believe me, I swear to God..."
Although he swore an oath to God, Hu Dalu did not dare to put it into action.
Seeing that no one was stopping him from making the oath, he could only reluctantly lower his hand that was pointing to the sky.
Clearly, he had some reservations and was worried that the vow would come true.
Seeing this, Zhao Youliang sneered inwardly and made a decision.
"Alright, since Boss Hu refuses to tell the truth, I'm afraid I can't help you. You'd better find someone else!"
After Zhao Youliang refused, Cao Daxian, with his cold expression, took the initiative to take over the matter.
“Young man surnamed Zhao, let’s make a deal beforehand: treat this as a competition.”
"If you don't care, this immortal will!"
"Once my temple settles the matter, you must hand over the temple as agreed!"
(For details, please refer to Chapter 345 of this book: The Way of the World)
After Cao Daxian finished speaking, he looked at Hu Dalu with a deadpan expression without waiting for Zhao Youliang to speak.
"Hey, Mr. Hu, it won't come cheap for this immortal to help you settle this mess. How much are you prepared to pay?!"
Hu Dalu was taken aback by the question. Although he was terrified by Cao Daxian's deathly aura, he still mustered up his courage and spoke.
"Madam, I... I'm not here to invite you, I'm here to invite Brother Zhao."
"How much money I pay doesn't seem to be any of your business, does it?"
Upon hearing Hu Dalu's words, Cao Daxian nearly choked on his own, only then remembering the saying, "It's not a good deal to try to force someone."
After struggling for a while, he immediately closed his eyes and chanted incantations, summoning his spirits.
She wanted to show off her skills to intimidate Hu Dalu and let him know that she was truly capable.
As the cold wind howled, the phantom of the wild boar demon that had been captured last time appeared above Master Cao's head.
Despite not understanding the situation, he displayed a rather self-satisfied demeanor.
Unfortunately, he couldn't even hold that posture for three seconds. After seeing the big yellow dog and the grasshopper spirit that had appeared out of nowhere, he instantly broke down.
"Boss grasshopper, boss dog, has this immortal master once again ventured into the tiger's den?!"
Upon hearing this, the grasshopper spirit sneered and took out his newly made whip, lashing out at the target.
"You dead pig, I didn't get to eat your hindquarters last time, but this time I'll make up for it!"
Knowing he was no match for the grasshopper demon, the wild boar demon cried out in alarm and vanished into thin air, clearly fleeing back to his headquarters.
Cao Daxian was left standing there awkwardly, facing Hu Dalu's "Is this guy an idiot?" look.
The reason for this thinking is that the wild boar spirit and the grasshopper spirit cannot be seen on the Hu Continent at all.
All you can see is Master Cao rambling on and on for a long time, and then nothing more.
Hu Dalu's attitude thoroughly enraged Cao Daxian, so he gritted his teeth and decided to summon his biggest trump card, the mysterious Qingfeng Sect Master.
The incantation continued, and the eerie wind howled.
Zhao Youliang already knew that the Qingfeng Sect Leader was powerful, so he was quite nervous.
Therefore, he subconsciously looked at his own team's main force, the big yellow dog.
Unfortunately, the big yellow dog remained as timid as ever.
At this moment, it had already jumped up and leaped into Mayor Chen Wei's arms, trembling with one paw stuffed into its mouth.
That look was quite like a little bird clinging to someone... or an ostrich clinging to someone.
Chen Wei looked utterly helpless and could only manage a bitter smile.
When it comes to crucial moments, Chang Jie is the most reliable.
It floated up on its own and stood in front of Zhao Youliang.
While puffing on his cheap cigarette, he muttered to himself, "Don't be afraid, Quantum, I will protect you."
“I’m not afraid of being hit by something dirty. I’ll just go home and find my dad.”
“My dad has a big tail, and when he whips the filthy things, they make a squeaking sound.”
Just when I was feeling both touched and helpless, Master Cao, who was chanting incantations... still couldn't summon even a fart.
Not only did she fail to summon any spirits, but she also coughed up a mouthful of blood as if she had been struck in the chest with a heavy hammer.
Before Zhao Youliang could react to what was happening, Cao Daxian, disregarding his serious injuries, knelt down on the ground with a thud, his face filled with terror.
"Master Qingfeng, please spare me! This disciple will never dare to ask you for help again!"
"Master, spare me! Master, spare me!!"
After kowtowing a full eighteen times, Master Cao suddenly stood up.
Without saying a word, he quickly ran out of the private room and left the barbecue restaurant.
She ran while crying and shouting, constantly making noises.
To outsiders, this appearance would make them think that Master Cao had been violated by Zhao Youliang...
Once Cao Daxian had run far away, Hu Dalu weakly asked her question while looking at her retreating figure.
"Mayor Chen, what exactly does this ugly old woman do?"
"Is she really a shamanic disciple? Or is she insane?!"
Chen Wei: "......"
Just treat her like she's crazy, don't pay any attention to her.
