With this thought in mind, Li Mao tried even harder to recall.
As he pondered, a sudden inspiration struck him: Could it be related to him eating shit and licking the paw of the young general's big dog?
But if that were the case, the young general couldn't possibly be unaware of it, much less have accidentally pierced someone's neck.
Li Mao wasn't very bright and couldn't figure it out, but luckily he had the grasshopper spirit, a "veteran who knows the way."
He first fawned over the ghost messenger before speaking softly.
"Little Li, do you think it's possible that it's related to the Seven Tragic Stones in your stomach?"
"The Seven Tragic Stones are rare treasures from ancient times, belonging to the scorpion's droppings—a unique (poisonous) specimen!"
"Seven Tragic Stones!?" The genius was stunned for a moment, then immediately asked the grasshopper spirit to explain in detail.
The grasshopper spirit dared not delay and immediately recounted the whole story from beginning to end, leaving the ghost messengers sighing with emotion.
"We in the underworld know about Lord Yu Hongtu's affairs, and we know that he was wronged, which is why the higher-ups turned a blind eye and allowed him to recuperate in his own tomb."
"I just didn't expect... I didn't expect that even though he was innocent, he was guilty of possessing a treasure. Because of the Seven Tragic Stones, he was still targeted by something evil."
"Oh, by the way, how is Yu Hongtu now? Was he really harmed by something evil?"
The grasshopper spirit slowly shook its head: "My lord, I do not know the grasshopper you are asking about."
"Since the last time, Lord Yu has not appeared again."
"Because of this, Quantum has been worried."
"Quantum?!" The ghost messenger was stunned again upon hearing this: "Little grasshopper, are you talking about Lord Zhao Youliang?"
"Yes!" The grasshopper spirit nodded deeply: "It is quantum."
"He's not home right now; he's out running errands."
"When he returns, I will have him kowtow to the officials."
The ghost messenger looked constipated upon hearing this: "You want Lord Zhao to kowtow to us? You wicked little grasshopper!"
Just you wait, once you're dead we'll definitely give you a proper "welcome"!
While harboring resentment towards the grasshopper spirit, the ghost messengers also realized something and looked around in fear.
"This place...this is the paper-making shop where you once stopped, sir?"
“That’s right!” the grasshopper spirit quickly replied, “Look, gentlemen, the large coffin is right next to us.”
"What?!" Upon receiving an affirmative answer, the ghost messenger instantly felt like he was sitting on pins and needles, his hair standing there blankly looking around.
"Grasshopper, you mean this modern weapon covered in turtle paintings is the legendary 'Tomb of the Wronged'?"
Li Mao was uneducated and immediately misunderstood what he heard.
"A seed of resentment? What's this 'seed of resentment'? Is it really that unjust?"
"When my wife was alive, she always called me a terrible bastard..."
Li Mao choked up again when he mentioned his wife, who had become a walking corpse.
"Hey guys, can you stop researching the Vengeful Spirit for now? Let's figure out how to save people first!"
"My poor wife and children, I can't live without you!"
The ghost messengers had no time to deal with Li Mao, that fool, and were staring tremblingly at the "tank"-shaped coffin.
"What a place of injustices... Brothers, isn't it a bit too late for us to leave now? Is it too late?"
"If we leave, the young general certainly won't let us off the hook, will he?"
"Yes!" The other ghost messengers nodded deeply in grief and indignation upon hearing this.
"Oh my god, I knew meeting the young general would never end well... This is a graveyard of injustices, a graveyard of injustices!"
"If that lord hadn't just stepped into the underworld along the Netherworld Road, we wouldn't have known about such a secret matter."
"What should we do? What should we do..."
Seeing the ghost messengers pacing like ants on a hot plate, the kind-hearted Chang Jie weakly offered words of comfort.
Before speaking, he popped a cheap cigarette into the mouth of each of the ghost messengers.
The ghost took a puff instinctively, and immediately choked, his nose and eyes streaming with snot and tears.
"Hey little maggot, are you teasing us on purpose?"
Chang Jie was stunned at first when he was scolded for "no reason", and then his eyes welled up with tears.
It's like a child who kindly shares their favorite thing, only to be scolded by their friend.
However, the kind-hearted Chang Jie did not retort, but apologized repeatedly with tears in his eyes.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't know you didn't like smoking this cigarette."
"I'll have Li Mao go buy you some cigarettes right now. I still have several tens of dollars of savings, that should be enough."
"But...but when I gave this cigarette to my uncle, he didn't scold me."
"The young general smoked too; although he choked and cried, he didn't yell at me..."
Although the ghost messengers didn't realize who "uncle" was, the young general and his men did.
Not just them, but everyone in the entire underworld knows the Young General.
To put it simply, if you want to live peacefully in the underworld, even if you don't know your own father, you still need to know the young general... and stay away from the young general.
"Cherish your lifespan in the underworld and stay away from the young general" is a famous saying that every ghost must abide by.
Therefore, upon hearing the words "Young General," all the ghost messengers immediately became alert.
"Young Master Maggot, may I ask what your relationship is with the young general?"
"Where are you from? Is there any other expert in your household?"
When Chang Jie's background was mentioned, the grasshopper spirit, who had been humble for so long, straightened his back.
It instantly gave me the feeling of a lowly official standing before a prime minister's gate.
"Well, officers... Sirs, let me give you a brief introduction."
"This young master who looks like a maggot is Chang Jie, a direct descendant of Wanlong Mountain in the North."
