Despite the ghost messenger's clumsy performance, the kind-hearted Chang Jie failed to notice.
Seeing that everyone liked his cheap cigarettes was like finding a like-minded friend.
While happily wiping away the snot bubbles from his nose, he handed out a pack of cigarettes to each of the ghost messengers.
"My husband once told me that we should know how to share good things."
"Here you go, everyone. Try to finish them all in one day."
"After I finish smoking, I'll have Quantum go buy more, another fifty packs."
So, at Chang Jie's request... and with such lavish hospitality, the ghost messengers... the ghost messengers almost beat themselves to death.
Good heavens, even their souls are infiltrated by the smoke; getting close to them makes them feel choked up.
......
On the other side, Zhao Youliang had already arrived at the apartment building where Yingchun's sister-in-law lived. The place had never been illuminated by the "Holy crap, Allelujah" light, so it was deathly quiet.
"Sis, you absolutely can't get hurt!"
Zhao Youliang, who had a spare key, tried to open the security door with trembling hands.
But because of nervousness, because of excessive concern, and because of trembling so badly, I was unable to insert the key into the keyhole.
Seeing this, Zhao Youliang realized that his mind was in turmoil: he quickly took a few deep breaths and began to circulate the "Demon Scripture" of the Ghost Buddha Faceless Sect.
After a moment, he calmed down, opened the door, and went inside.
"sister?!"
The scene that greeted Zhao Youliang immediately surprised him greatly.
It turned out that Sister Yingchun had not died, but was sitting cross-legged in the form of Guanyin, surrounded by Buddhist light.
In this deathly town, it appeared exceptionally peaceful and serene.
"sister......"
As Zhao Youliang called softly once more, Sister Yingchun slowly opened her eyes.
At first, he was confused, but after recognizing Zhao Youliang, he immediately smiled.
"What are you doing here in the middle of the night, Quantum? You didn't even tell me you were coming, and you didn't even knock..."
At this point, the beautiful widow blushed and quickly changed the subject.
"Quantum, what's up?"
Zhao Youliang did not answer Yingchun's sister-in-law, but stepped forward and hugged her tightly.
"Sister, I'm so glad you're okay! I'm so glad you're alright!"
"I don't have many relatives in my life, and my cousin is gone. I can't lose you too, absolutely not!"
Touched by Zhao Youliang's sincerity, Sister-in-law Yingchun offered words of comfort.
"Silly boy, what are you saying all of a sudden?"
"Sister, how could I leave you? Didn't we agree... that we'd continue to run the shop together and make money together?"
"Did something happen? Quantum, tell your sister."
"I'm here with you, so don't be afraid."
After Zhao Youliang calmed down, he told her everything that had happened in the town.
Surprised, Sister-in-law Yingchun quickly opened the window and closed her eyes to carefully observe everything.
"Holding firm and immovable like the earth, meditating deeply and mysteriously like a hidden treasure, Namo Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva."
"Quantum, how could our town have suffered such a calamity!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Youliang hurriedly asked, "Sister, do you know what happened?"
Sister Yingchun slowly shook her head: "I can't remember many things, but I can feel that endless darkness is enveloping us."
"Even the Buddha's light cannot penetrate this darkness... but Quantum, you are the only light in this boundless darkness."
"Remember to stay true to yourself, and no matter what happens, don't let your heart fall into an endless abyss of evil."
“This…” Yingchun’s words reminded Zhao Youliang of another person—Da Ku Benshi.
Because when he had a profound realization, he said something similar to himself.
Furthermore, the Great Master of Bitterness also called himself "Tulku".
(The fact that Zhao Youliang has a spare key is explained in Chapter 0067 of this book.)
(The story of the Great Master of Bitterness is discussed in Chapter 0169 of this book: Tantric Master, Buddha or Demon)
......
Seeing that Zhao Youliang was deep in thought, Sister Yingchun gently woke him up.
“Quantum, this is not the place to talk. Let’s hurry back to your paper-making shop and discuss a solution with the immortals.”
"Yes!" Zhao Youliang nodded deeply upon hearing this, and subconsciously held Yingchun's hand tightly.
Honestly, he did it subconsciously, simply out of fear of losing this loved one.
Yingchun's sister-in-law only made a token "resistance" before blushing and letting Zhao Youliang drag her along.
When the two arrived near the paper-making shop, they naturally saw a large number of walking corpses gathered there.
"how so!!"
Just as Zhao Youliang was about to do something, Sister Yingchun stopped him.
"Quantum, let's go back to the shop first!"
The zombies that the townspeople had turned into had been temporarily subdued by the young general, so naturally they did not attack them.
Therefore, Zhao Youliang and Sister-in-law Yingchun successfully entered the paper-making shop.
Just then, Zhao Youliang suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "Sister, you... how did you manage to come in through the front door? We all actually came in through the front door!!"
Sister-in-law Yingchun seemed to have known this would happen, so she wasn't surprised.
But their gaze fell upon the tank...coffin, covered in green turtles.
Zhao Youliang followed Yingchun's gaze and, of course, saw the "tank".
However, his focus was not on that, but on the ghost messengers filling the room.
"Holy crap, they've sent people down here to collect a debt?!"
"Sis, should I run away quickly and hide somewhere...?"
The two sentences above were just Zhao Youliang's habitual self-deprecating humor.
In fact, he is an extremely responsible person who never runs away from anything.
Moreover, what if I were to flee the sect? What would happen to all the villagers in the town?
It was under this strong sense of responsibility that Zhao Youliang pulled Yingchun's sister-in-law and forced himself to come up.
They bowed and scraped, greeting the ghost messengers with fawning expressions.
"Greetings, fellow ghost brothers. You've come to collect a debt, haven't you?"
"I really don't have any money right now, could you please give me a few more days?"
"Also, I really didn't incur the karmic debt, I really didn't!"
The ghost messengers were all stunned by Zhao Youliang's attitude and words, and it took them a few breaths to react.
Then, just like Zhao Youliang had done earlier, she smiled obsequiously and kept bowing and scraping to him.
The ghost messengers weren't stupid; of course they knew they couldn't offend Zhao Youliang.
This is a relative of the young general, the cousin of the person who embarked on the path to the underworld.
The young general's despicable behavior... let's leave aside the horror for now. That man once said that if anyone bullies Zhao Youliang, he wouldn't hesitate to return stained with blood...
Upon realizing this, the ghost messengers smiled even more broadly at Zhao Youliang: "Oh, Lord Zhao, is it? You've finally returned! We've been waiting for you for ages!"
"This young lady must be Lord Zhao's wife? Hello, Madam, we are messengers from the underworld."
"If anything happens in the future, such as a death in your family and you need us to do something for you, just let us know, and we will make sure to take good care of it!"
