The ghost sedan ignored the Grand Lama's question, letting out a cold laugh as blood continued to flow out.
The surging blood has already submerged large swathes of land.
Surprisingly, the blood, which could corrode everything, seemed to be bound by invisible channels, flowing only in one direction.
When the blood filled the invisible ditch, the Grand Lama realized it was a road—the Netherworld Road that Zhao Youliang had known all along!
If someone as knowledgeable as Zhao could recognize him, then the Grand Lama would be even more obvious.
"The Netherworld Path! The Netherworld Path that guides ghosts and immortals?!"
"How is this possible? What kind of ghost immortal could have such a grand display?!"
Here's a special explanation: Immortals are divided into "Heaven, Earth, Human, God, and Ghost," but this doesn't mean that Ghost Immortals are the weakest.
Of course, ghost immortals are generally weaker than the other five types of immortals, but there are always exceptions.
Take Zhen Yuanzi, the ancestor of earth immortals, also known as Zhen Yuan Daxian, who is "one with the world", who dares to say he is weak?
According to the original text of "Journey to the West", this is how Zhenyuan Daxian is described.
The boy said: The Three Pure Ones are my master's friends, the Four Emperors are my master's old friends, the Nine Luminaries are my master's juniors, and the Yuan Chen are my master's guests.
Besides, even Buddha Tathagata once said: "You mischievous monkey, you're really making a fool of yourself. Even I, Zhenyuan Daxian, have to give you some leeway..."
At this moment, it wasn't just the Grand Lama who was puzzled; Zhao Youliang, who was far away in the paper-making shop, also sensed something.
Rubbing his bruised and swollen face, he looked outside with a puzzled expression.
"Xiao Liao, can you feel it? Something seems to have happened on the Netherworld Road outside the town."
"Is that so?" Liao Zhiyuan's skills were obviously not as high as Zhao Youliang's. Hearing this, he did some calculations and was full of surprise.
"Brother Quantum, the Netherworld Road has really appeared, and it's being used to ferry ghosts in large numbers! How could this be?!"
"I haven't heard of a large number of deaths in our area!"
Zhao Youliang also had a very serious expression... Although he now looked like a pumpkin that had come to life, even when serious, he still looked quite funny... A pumpkin that could think...
"Another possibility is that the road to the underworld is being paved with a 'roadbed,' just like how emperors used to pave roads with yellow earth when they traveled."
"However, the path to the underworld requires the paving stones of human souls..."
At this point, Zhao Youliang suddenly realized that something terrible had happened, because he remembered the spirits he had seen a few days ago—all the townspeople had turned into vengeful ghosts, and were pouring out of the town in a miserable state.
Is that the reason?!
With this thought in mind, Zhao Youliang dared not delay any longer. He quickly mounted his old bicycle leaning against the wall and sped off towards the edge of the town.
Seeing this, Liao Zhiyuan quickly followed—riding another old-fashioned bicycle and keeping up closely.
Li Mao took the opportunity to jump onto the back seat, almost knocking Liao Zhiyuan, who was riding a bicycle, off balance.
"Oh my god, if I had known I would have to go out to run errands, I wouldn't have rushed to return the bike."
"Xiao Liao, it's probably too late for me to go back and get the car now, right? Quantum can't wait for me, can it?"
Liao Zhiyuan ignored Li Mao and just kept his head down, kicking hard.
With a series of clicking sounds, sparks flew from the bicycle chain as it was pedaled.
When Zhao Youliang arrived, he saw the Grand Lama struggling with all his might to break free from the shackles of the Netherworld Road.
That blood-red ghost sedan chair still clung to the Grand Lama, trying to drag him back to be used as a "stepping stone"... to pave the roadbed.
The high lama, who was in the midst of a crisis, was overjoyed to see a silly teenager pedaling his bicycle toward him.
He wanted to use the secret method of "substituting one thing for another" to switch places with Zhao Youliang.
"Great Power, Eight Heavenly Dragons, Shifting Dipper, Om Mani Padme Hum!"
With the blessing of the mantra, Zhao Youliang felt as if he were a magnet being attracted by another magnet, and he and his bicycle flew out with a whoosh.
That intense push-back sensation...it's exhilarating!
As Zhao Youliang flew towards the Netherworld Road, the Grand Lama sped towards this side.
The purpose of "substituting one thing for another" is to allow two people to switch places.
If things had gone according to the normal procedure, Zhao Youliang and the Grand Lama should have just passed each other by, and then Zhao Youliang would have had to die in place of the Grand Lama.
But then an accident happened: the two of them were on the same straight line and collided with each other with a loud bang.
With tremendous inertia, Zhao Youliang yelled and bounced back, crashing to the ground along with his bicycle, sprawling on his back and grimacing.
The high lama also let out a roar and flew back, coincidentally landing on the Netherworld Road, amidst the surging blood.
You should know that it's "water from the Yin Spring"!
The high lama screamed in agony after falling in, and when he struggled to his feet, he had become a skeleton.
The skeleton struggled only slightly before shattering into pieces and disappearing into the boundless pool of blood.
"this......"
This terrifying scene was witnessed by the grasshopper spirit carrying Chang Jie.
"Quantum, you're speeding! And you caused a traffic accident, killing a monk?!"
"Oh my god, you knocked over a perfectly healthy, fat monk and turned him into a skeleton... Quantum, isn't this entirely your fault?"
Zhao Youliang: "......"
"Old Immortal, do you think it's possible that the blood is the culprit?"
The cunning grasshopper spirit knew, of course, that the "blood" was the culprit; he had just been teasing Zhao Youliang out of habit.
Sure enough, in the blink of an eye, the grasshopper spirit grabbed Zhao Youliang and ran back without hesitation.
