Just when the atmosphere in the hall was extremely tense, a hearty laugh suddenly came from outside the door.
"Hahaha, is Quantum Bro home?"
"I'm back! Brother Prisoner and I are back!"
"Little Liao?!" Zhao Youliang was overjoyed upon hearing this and hurriedly led the Dog Egg duo to greet him.
"Haha, Xiao Liao, it's great that you and Brother Prisoner are back!"
"How did it go? Did you rescue your master? Is he alright?"
"It's alright, it's alright!" After giving Zhao Youliang a bear hug, Liao Zhiyuan released him and took out several packs of Shandong-style cigarettes from his bag, handing them to Chang Jie.
The cigarette is called "Buddha's Light Agarwood," which readers from Shandong should probably know.
Moreover, this kind of cigarette is extremely expensive, costing 100 yuan a pack!
If Liao Zhiyuan hadn't been quite wealthy, he really wouldn't have been willing to buy it for Chang Jie.
For example, if it were Zhao Youliang, he would absolutely not be willing to buy it...
"Brother Jie, try this and see if it's good. If it is, I'll try to get you some more."
Chang Jie was clearly quite satisfied with Liao Zhiyuan's "filial piety".
He immediately lit one, popped it into his mouth, and started smoking with great relish.
"Hmm, it's alright, but it's not very powerful. It's not as powerful as the one Quantum bought for me."
"Xiao Liao, didn't you notice that I'm blind? My eyes are covered with a cloth."
"What?!" Liao Zhiyuan was shocked upon hearing this.
He noticed Chang Jie's "unique look" as soon as he entered, but he thought it was just "cosplay" and didn't pay any attention to it.
"Jay, Brother Jay, what happened to you?"
"Who did this to you?!"
Liao Zhiyuan couldn't help but panic. After all, Chang Jie was the most beloved junior in the Chang family. If anyone were to blind him... then they could just wait and see "the moon shining on the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood turning into a dragon"!
Despite Chang Ping's gentle and unassuming demeanor as the head of the Chang family, he is actually a ruthless and ruthless ruler.
The name of the Blood Dragon of the North is no joke!
Compared to Liao Zhiyuan's nervousness, Chang Jie remained listless, as if it was someone else who was blind, not himself.
"It's okay, don't be afraid. So what if I go blind? As long as it doesn't affect my smoking."
"Oh, by the way, I encountered something strange with Quantum. Could you help me figure it out?"
What Chang Jie was talking about was seeing ghosts all over the town.
Liao Zhiyuan was even more shocked upon hearing this, and timidly asked Zhao Youliang.
"Hey Quantum Bro, can you see me...can you see my ghost?"
"Am I dead too?!"
Zhao Youliang nodded deeply upon hearing this: "Yes, he died, and he died the most tragically."
“You appeared with a large group of ghosts, missing limbs, and your head was drooping down to your crotch.”
Liao Zhiyuan: "Damn..."
Given how tragically he had died, Liao Zhiyuan hurriedly took out his compass to perform calculations.
"When Jia (甲) and Ji (己) combine, Yi (乙) meets Geng (庚), Bing (丙), Xin (辛), Ding (丁), Ren (壬), Wu (戊), and Gui (癸) are the same. When the three virtues meet, it is an auspicious day. Construction and earthmoving can dispel all misfortunes."
"In the blink of an eye, it appears!"
After the incantation was completed, the compass in front of Liao Zhiyuan immediately began to spin rapidly, and a blue mist emanated from it, as if it were sentient and did not dissipate.
It took half an incense stick's time before Liao Zhiyuan finally stopped the spell, his forehead covered in sweat.
Seeing this, Zhao Youliang quickly asked, "Well, Xiao Liao, have you figured anything out?!"
Liao Zhiyuan's expression was extremely complicated. He hesitated for a moment before speaking.
“Brother Quantum, I can indeed vaguely sense something, but I can’t say.”
“Many things change once they’re mentioned… You might not understand my explanation, but you know about the wave-particle duality of light, right?”
"Predicting the future—that's the principle at play."
“If you ‘see’ it, or if many people ‘see’ it, then the future will change immediately.”
"Or rather, what we 'see' is not necessarily the essence of things."
The principles contained in the above words are extremely profound; once you understand them, you will understand.
If you don't understand, Liao Zhiyuan has no way to explain it in detail.
Fortunately, Zhao Youliang was highly perceptive—although he didn't fully understand, he grasped the general idea.
In short, heavenly secrets must not be revealed, for once revealed, they cease to be heavenly secrets.
"Xiao Liao, you can't just let it go like that. What methods do we have to avoid misfortune and seek good fortune?"
Zhao Youliang's question stumped Liao Zhiyuan once again, and after a long while, he finally spoke with a constipated expression.
"Brother Quantum, if I were to say 'what's meant to be will be,' you wouldn't beat me up, would you?"
Zhao Youliang: "......"
"Xiao Liao, can I take that to mean you calculated it without actually doing anything, and it was all a waste of your time?!"
“No, that’s not it…” Liao Zhiyuan slowly shook his head upon hearing this.
"At least after I've dealt with this, I'll have a way to avoid dying such a horrible death... at least I won't have someone smash their head into my crotch."
Zhao Youliang: "......"
"So everyone here is really going to die?"
Zhao Youliang is a very sentimental person, and he was clearly unwilling to accept this.
He was reluctant to part with such good friends and such good neighbors.
This time, Liao Zhiyuan didn't say much, only mysteriously saying, "Anything is possible!"
In the awkward silence, the mad prisoner suddenly spoke.
"I don't understand things about predicting the future. I only know that if the future is dangerous, then we must seize the time to strengthen ourselves."
"When the time comes, no matter who the enemy is, we'll fight them to the death!"
"Even when I'm bled to death, at least I'll have left the thieves covered in wounds!"
The madman's words were powerful and resounding, echoing in Zhao Youliang's heart like a great bell.
Zhao Youliang bowed deeply to the madman with a solemn expression: "Thank you for the lesson, elder brother. I know what to do now!"
"From now on, we will absolutely not engage in any more internal struggles; we'll just do what needs to be done!"
"Hmm!" Mad Ghost was clearly quite satisfied with Zhao Youliang's attitude and nodded deeply upon hearing this.
On the other side, Zhao Youliang, having figured things out, asked Liao Zhiyuan.
"Xiao Liao, you still haven't told me what happened to your master."
"How could a senior expert like him be bullied by something evil?"
Upon hearing the words "a senior master," Liao Zhiyuan's expression became quite amused.
He seemed to be barely holding back something when he didn't refute: "Brother Quantum, my master's story isn't complicated."
Have you ever heard of the Taishan Ghost?
"The Taishan Ghost?" Zhao Youliang had been cultivating for less than a year, so there were many things he didn't know.
"Xiao Liao, is the Taishan Ghost a single person... or a group of ghosts?"
“A ghost, a very powerful ghost!” Liao Zhiyuan replied with a smile.
"Although my master was cynical, he was very kind at heart."
"This time, I offended the Taishan Ghost because I helped a poor person."
"It was put in a stone mill and ground for more than half a month. Now it has gone back to recuperate."
