Although Liao Zhiyuan spoke in a low voice while recounting his experience at Mount Tai, Li Mao, who was eating and drinking heartily nearby, still heard him.
So he simply stopped giving the Hu family father and son a forced smile and instead grinned, revealing his greasy mouth as he asked.
"Xiao Liao, your master was detained just because of those few words?"
"Oh right, what happened that he was also worn down by the mill?"
"How can a perfectly healthy person be saved after being ground to pieces by a millstone?"
Liao Zhiyuan smiled wryly upon hearing this: "Brother Li Mao, things aren't as you think."
"What was being ground down by the millstone was my master's soul, not his body."
"It's like the stone mill hell in the eighteen levels of hell."
"In ancient times, Mount Tai was a place where the souls of the dead would find refuge, as recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas."
"Later, especially after the Underworld was officially established, all the souls of the dead returned to the Great Emperor of Fengdu, and the three ancient capitals of the dead were abandoned..."
At this point, Liao Zhiyuan suddenly stopped and looked at the entrance of the room with a look of surprise.
At the same time, Zhao Youliang and Big Yellow Dog also sensed something was wrong and looked over in the same direction.
The big yellow dog reacted the most violently, spitting out the large bone it had just snatched from Li Mao's bowl and leaping into Zhao Youliang's arms with a whoosh.
I was trembling all over, like a mouse seeing a cat, and this cat was none other than Black Cat Detective...
On the other side of the table, the Hu family father and son also noticed the abnormality of Zhao Youliang and the others. They asked questions and were about to turn around to check, but Zhao Youliang stopped them loudly.
"If you trust me, don't do anything!"
"Lie face down on the table, don't look back!"
Hu Dalu knew that Zhao Youliang was "strange," and upon hearing this, he quickly and obediently lay down.
At the same time, they were not allowed to reach out and press down on Hu Xiaochuan's head to prevent him from disobeying Zhao Youliang.
In that short time, Liao Zhiyuan had already stood up respectfully.
He bowed respectfully to the cold wind blowing in from the doorway.
"This junior pays his respects to the two seniors."
"We just parted ways and now we meet again. May I ask what brings you here, senior?"
It turned out that two "big ghosts" had come to the door.
Moreover, these two ghosts are none other than the two statues in the dilapidated temple—the two standing next to the "Mount Tai Ghost".
That's why Liao Zhiyuan got to know him.
The two large ghosts were also taken aback when they saw Liao Zhiyuan, but they didn't seem to be able to speak, they just nodded at Liao Zhiyuan.
Then, ignoring the others, he simply stretched out his ghostly claws and wrote a large "death" character behind each of the Hu family father and son.
After the writing was completed, although the Hu family father and son were still alive and had not changed at all, they had changed in the eyes of Zhao Youliang and other people with spiritual attainments.
He transformed into a death row inmate dressed in white, with bloodstained shackles on his shoulders.
The back of his clothes had a large "death" character written on it, and a tall "sign" was stuck behind his neck, making him look exactly like a death row inmate being escorted to the execution ground in ancient times.
"how so?!"
Before Zhao Youliang could react, the two giant ghosts had already floated away in a miserable state and disappeared from sight.
In this situation, Li Mao, who was both incompetent and loved to play, couldn't help but speak up to the Hu family father and son.
"You, you can get up now, you don't need to lie down anymore."
"Goodness, oil's all over my face."
"Hey, let me ask you guys, did you notice any changes in yourself just now?"
It turns out that Li Mao also gained the ability to see ghosts after eating... and being stuffed into the "disaster stone," so he could naturally see everything that had just happened.
The Hu family father and son were taken aback by the question, but after a moment, Hu Dalu, who had experienced many incidents, was the first to react.
"Changes? I haven't noticed any changes!"
"I just felt a bit cold, and my body felt much heavier."
"I'm a little tired and lack energy."
"What happened? Did those two ghosts who were causing trouble at my factory earlier show up? Did they try to harm my son and me?!"
Mentioning He Xiulian and Cheng Chun, those two deadly demons, the Hu family father and son subconsciously shuddered.
I unconsciously looked back, and only felt relieved when I found nothing.
Zhao Youliang was at a loss for words when asked about Hu Dalu's question.
However, seeing the extinguished yang flames on their shoulders only deepened his confusion.
Although this father and son are not good people, they can't possibly offend the Taishan Ghost.
But why would his men travel such a long distance to claim his life...?
(There are "three lamps" on a person's body, located on the two shoulders and the forehead, which are what Zhao Youliang called "yang fire".)
(The flames on the shoulders of the Hu family father and son had gone out, only the flame on their foreheads remained, like a flickering candle in the wind.)
......
Seeing that Zhao Youliang did not answer him, Hu Dalu became extremely anxious.
"Young brother, just say what you want to say."
"With you saying that, I'm even more worried!"
Liao Zhiyuan was quick-witted and immediately answered on his behalf.
"Boss Hu, don't worry, and don't overthink things."
"Just now... two ghosts did come in, but they weren't the two from your factory... Alright, we've eaten enough, let's go back."
"There are many things that Quantum Brother and I need to prepare for as soon as possible."
Upon hearing that the ghost wasn't from "his own family," Hu Dalu finally breathed a long sigh of relief.
So they quickly asked the waiter to pack up their food, paid the bill, and left.
Zhao Youliang was quite surprised by Hu Dalu's move to package the goods.
At the same time, he thought to himself: Look how good they are at managing their money; no wonder they can save up enough to start a factory.
However, Zhao Youliang actually misunderstood Hu Dalu.
