Just as Zhao Youliang was lost in thought, the ghost messenger, having regained his senses, swung the iron chain and lashed it hard at the mad ghost.
"You bastard, you almost brought a huge mess to the underworld!"
The huge trouble the ghost messenger mentioned referred to the incident where Zhao Youliang almost fell to his death.
This guy is the young general's cousin.
Given the young general's tendency to make a scene even when things are unreasonable, if his cousin were to be killed by a ghost in front of the underworld officials, wouldn't that tear down the gates of hell?
Therefore, the two ghost messengers became more and more frightened as they thought about it, and the more frightened they became, the harder they beat the ghosts.
Moments later, the madman, who had been convulsing, was covered in bruises and his skin was torn open, leaving no part of his body unscathed.
Even so, the madman still held his disheveled head high and stood ramrod straight, neither whimpering nor begging for mercy.
Such a heroic demeanor filled Zhao Youliang with admiration.
So without waiting for Huang Yu to speak, she took the initiative to plead for the madman.
"Brothers, forget it. I'm not in any danger. It's not worth arguing with a madman."
"Besides, it would be even worse if you two got tired."
"Well, if there's nothing else, you two can go back now. I'll handle the rest myself."
The ghost messenger, of course, had to give his "cousin" face and stopped immediately upon hearing this.
After exchanging polite words, he departed with his soul, burned by a lighter.
Before leaving, he didn't forget to sneer at the madman: "You're lucky today, Lord Zhao is pleading for you."
"Otherwise... hehe!"
"Lord Zhao, this madman is unruly. Please be careful not to hurt yourself while you are playing with him."
"I'll leave the shackles on him and this soul-extracting chain to you, just in case."
Zhao Youliang was deeply moved by the ghost messenger's thoughtfulness.
With tears in my eyes, I watched them go for a long, long time...
Only after the ghost messengers had completely disappeared did Zhao Youliang turn his gaze to the mad ghost.
The madman still held his head high, defiant and unruly: "Kill me or torture me, it's all up to you. Just do it already!"
Zhao Youliang smiled helplessly. He first wrapped the "iron chain" left by the ghost messenger, which was the soul-extracting chain, around his body, and then removed the shackles from the mad ghost.
"Brother Prisoner, right? What's the big deal that you need to kill or torture? We have no grudge against each other."
"If you don't want to come to my gang, that's fine, there's no need for this fighting."
"Alright, if there's nothing else, you can go back now. Huang Yu and I are going home too. It's all a misunderstanding."
As the saying goes, sincerity is the most powerful weapon.
Zhao Youliang's humble attitude left the madman bewildered.
"You...you're really just letting me leave like this? I almost killed you just now!"
Zhao Youliang said nonchalantly, "I didn't die, so let's just let it go now that it's over."
"But you got beaten up because of me, Brother Prisoner. I'm sorry."
After saying that, he ignored the mad ghost and turned to leave with Huang Yu and the grasshopper spirit.
"Brother Huang, you have no idea what has happened while you were away from home these past few days."
"I'll explain it to you slowly..."
As Huang Yu listened, he turned to the madman who was standing there dumbfounded and gave him an apologetic smile.
"Brother Prisoner, I also want to say sorry to you."
"I really didn't expect things to turn out this way."
"Besides, Quantum is a good person. I only agreed to help him because we clicked. You don't need to worry."
When Zhao Youliang and his group reached the car, the madman finally realized what was happening.
With a roar, it transformed into a whirlwind and gave chase.
The madman was already imposing, and with his disheveled hair, he looked like a furious lion charging forward.
This scene startled Zhao Youliang, who quickly pulled out his small wooden knife and became alert.
At the same time, she lifted her shirt up, revealing her white waist on both sides.
There was no other way; he was terrified of poverty and felt bad about wearing clothes, so he had to prepare in advance for the possibility of having his kidney cut off.
"Prisoner, what do you want? You want to fight again? Is this never going to end?!"
To everyone's surprise, the prisoner had no intention of fighting at all. Instead, he grabbed the shackles that Zhao Youliang was carrying and locked himself up.
Just as Zhao Youliang was puzzled, the prisoner raised his head and said arrogantly.
"I hate owing favors, so you don't need to!"
"When I have cultivated enough to break free of these shackles, that will be the time to settle accounts with you!"
"snort!"
As I said before, Zhao Youliang has been struggling in the lower rungs of society for a long time, and he understands human relationships best.
Sometimes, pretending to be stupid is just a form of "camouflage".
To put it another way: in real life, when we make friends, we prefer to befriend honest people and not those who are too calculating.
Zhao Youliang deliberately pretended to be stupid for this very purpose.
Therefore, our quantum instantaneous understanding of the madman's profound meaning.
Instead of saying anything, they politely invited the madman into the car.
He then removed the chains from his body and wrapped them around the madman.
They claimed it was safer to tie up the madman.
In reality, they were giving the Soul-Extracting Chain to the Mad Ghost as a weapon.
The mad ghost understood Zhao Youliang's deeper meaning, and after a moment of surprise, he sighed and took the initiative to hide his figure and attach himself to Huang Yu's side.
The grasshopper spirit and Chang Jie possessed Zhao Youliang's body, and the group drove back to the town.
When we arrived at the paper-making shop, it was already broad daylight. From afar, we could see the big yellow dog wearing a steel helmet, lazily lying in front of the door.
That's right, it's a steel helmet, just like the look of a special forces soldier from Xiao Rizi—that's a real dog!
Zhao Youliang immediately ran up to him in a fawning manner and greeted him.
"Sir, are you drying eggs here?"
"Did nothing happen last night while my brother was away?"
The big yellow dog, which originally didn't want to pay attention to Zhao Youliang, immediately jumped up after sensing the madman's aura, baring its teeth and acting aggressively.
At the same time, it kept barking loudly: "Woof woof woof!"
Fearing unnecessary conflict, Zhao Youliang quickly began to explain.
"Sir, please don't fire! They're all on our side!"
"This is the prisoner brother!"
“Brother Prisoner, this is my pet dog…my pet dog.”
"When I was so poor that I couldn't afford to eat, I would always eat what he provided."
After the introduction, Zhao Youliang didn't linger and went straight to the backyard with all his "accessories".
As for Xiao Li and Brother Chen, they went home to rest.
We agreed to go to Sister Yingchun's barbecue stall that evening to discuss how to deal with that strange corpse.
After entering the side room where the ancestral tablets were enshrined, the mad ghost attached itself to the tablet inscribed with "Master Qingfeng" without Huang Yu having to speak.
Thus, the "Four Beams" have finally gathered three members: Huang Yu from the Huang family, Xiao Jiaozi from the Hui family, and the prisoner, the leader of the Qingfeng Cult.
Looking at the only empty four-beam memorial tablet, Huang Yu had a flash of inspiration and coaxed Chang Jie into possessing it.
Chang Jie did not raise any objections, or rather, he would not raise any objections at all.
He listlessly repeated the same phrase: "My parents are dragons, but I'm just a maggot. Where's the justice in that...?"
