As it turned out, Huang's younger brother was a very responsible person. After realizing that he had broken a taboo, he immediately took the initiative to stand in front of Zhao Youliang.
He bowed deeply towards the front hall and spoke loudly.
"The descendants of the Huang family of the Northern Kingdom had no intention of offending you, please forgive them."
"Huang Yu will bear all the consequences, whether it's punishment or penalty!"
Whether it was Huang's apology that had an effect or not, the paper figure stopped moving after he spoke.
The eerie Peking Opera singing abruptly stopped, but the surrounding temperature had become much colder.
Even so, the young man from the Huang family remained in the bowing posture for a long time until he was sure everything was alright before straightening up.
"Huang Yu thanks everyone for their understanding!"
After dealing with the strange paper-making shop, Huang Yu turned to face Zhao Youliang, who looked puzzled.
After a slight hesitation, he dipped his finger in tea and wrote on the table: "We'll talk about this later; don't ask."
Zhao Youliang had seen this kind of scene many times in spy dramas on TV, and immediately nodded repeatedly to show that he understood.
She even subconsciously covered her mouth tightly with her hand.
Seeing Zhao Youliang's foolish yet self-righteous appearance, the young man from the Huang family couldn't help but smile.
"Quantum, you promised to accompany the corpse driver to the tomb tomorrow. That tomb is very strange."
"So I'm thinking of taking the Gray brothers back tonight to see if I can help you gather a few more men."
"Be careful in everything when I'm not around."
Although I didn't want Huang's younger brother to work too hard, especially for his own sake.
But seeing the other person's sincere eyes, the polite words that were on the tip of his tongue remained unspoken.
"Brother Huang, I understand. Don't worry!"
"Besides, I still have Brother Bear and Little Egg with me."
Brother Bear refers to Xiong Ba, while Little Egg is the eccentric Chang Jie.
After Huang Jiaxian left with Xiaojiaozi, Zhao Youliang indeed closed the doors and windows tightly and obediently returned to his room to sleep.
Unfortunately, the tree may wish to remain still, but the wind will not cease.
Shortly after he fell asleep, the same eerie singing began to play outside again.
The lyrics were simply changed: "The young general is supreme in both the mortal and spiritual realms; if he wants you to be born, you are born; if Yama (the King of Hell) wants you to die at midnight, the young general says no, and that's final..."
As the eerie singing began, two blurry figures drifted in through the back door.
Both wore tall hats, one holding a mourning stick and the other holding a soul-summoning banner.
The evil spirits worshipped there noticed the arrival of the two figures and were once again terrified into silence.
However, this time they made a lot of progress; at least they didn't scatter in a panic.
Xiong Ba, who had also sensed this, hesitated for a moment but still mustered up his courage and showed himself.
"Gentlemen, what brings you here so late at night?"
Seeing the bear spirit daring to obstruct them, the two figures were secretly furious: What could a ghost messenger possibly want when he comes to the door?
They're going to seize people and capture their souls!
Could it be a food delivery person?!
If we hadn't been so confused, we would have taken you, you arrogant wild bear, with us!
Despite his thoughts, the ghost messenger patiently answered, haunted by his terrifying first experience.
"This is none of your business! If you don't want to die, get out of the way!"
"My brother and I are here to inquire with the owner of this place!"
Xiong Ba dared not offend the underworld officials... Not to mention him, even the most powerful cultivators wouldn't dare!
In this degenerate age, even the most powerful cultivators will not become immortals.
Unless one becomes an immortal, one will eventually die, and after death, one will naturally fall into the hands of the underworld.
Offending the ghost messengers is just asking for trouble!
Therefore, after humming a few times, Xiong Ba obediently stepped aside and returned to his memorial tablet.
At the same time, I apologized in my heart: I'm sorry, Quantum, I really tried my best...
While fast asleep, Zhao Youliang had a dream: he dreamt that two strange people invited him to drink.
As they were drinking, someone suddenly spoke up.
"Zhao Youliang, right? Could you show us the treasure you're holding?"
"My brother and I meant no harm; we just wanted to confirm something so we could report back."
Perhaps because he was dreaming, Zhao Youliang unwittingly pulled out the wooden knife from his bosom.
Upon seeing this, the two strange men's expressions changed drastically. They stood up in unison and bowed respectfully to the wooden sword.
When they sat down again, they had completely changed their demeanor... their faces were full of kind and friendly smiles.
Even... even a little obsequious?
The taller one spoke up first: "May I ask how you, young man, are addressed to that important person?"
The important person the ghost messenger was referring to was the person who made the wooden knife.
But Zhao Youliang misunderstood: he thought the question was directed at his cousin, Wang Youcai.
Although his cousin was a bit dim-witted, Zhao Youliang had a feeling that he was a real big shot.
If this were ancient times, he would be a prince who accidentally ended up among the common people.
Following his own line of thought, Zhao Youliang answered as a matter of course.
"That's my cousin, he calls me Big Brother."
"It's Big Brother, not Big Bear!"
"Hiss!" Hearing Zhao Youliang's answer and realizing that he wasn't lying, the two ghost messengers gasped in unison.
Because the inhalation was so fast, the hissing sound was extremely loud.
At the same time, the two ghost messengers changed from sitting upright to only daring to sit on half of their buttocks on the chairs, their posture was extremely humble.
Furthermore, the way Zhao Youliang was addressed changed again: from calling him by his first name at the beginning, to "little brother" later, and now to "Lord Zhao"...
"Lord Zhao, may I ask what else that lord said to you? Or is there any other instruction we need to carry out?"
