After everyone left the vicinity of the Netherworld Road, Yu Hongtu, transformed into a giant ghost and a backward-walking corpse, appeared one after the other, and the surrounding area was immediately filled with a chilling and desolate atmosphere.
They appeared at opposite ends of the Netherworld Road, just as they had appeared at opposite ends of the town last time.
First, they looked with lingering fear in the direction where the Northern Blood Dragon had disappeared, then they glared at each other and roared.
Just as they were about to rush into the Netherworld Road to fight, they suddenly realized that the "people" on both sides of the road had turned around.
It has no face; the spaces for facial features are completely blank.
Then these "people" chuckled and went off separately from Yu Hongtu and the big ghost.
Upon seeing this, the two "people" were immediately alarmed and, no longer caring about fighting each other, fled into the distance.
These faceless "people," having lost their target, were about to wander aimlessly when suddenly sword light flashed, binding them firmly in the Netherworld Path.
After struggling for a while without being able to break through, the vast majority of them turned around and stood on the roadside again.
A very small minority roared defiantly as they wandered the roads, like zombies from Resident Evil.
......
On the other side, Li Mao, who had returned to the hall, had regained consciousness. Upon seeing Zhao Youliang beside him, he let out a loud cry and was about to burst into tears.
It was clearly the scene he witnessed before losing consciousness that terrified him.
Fortunately, Zhao Youliang was quick-witted and stuffed a large cherry, meant as an offering to the immortals, into Li Mao's mouth.
That forced him to suppress his sobs.
"I'm not trying to be mean, Li, but I've been telling you not to put soot in your eyes, and you just won't listen."
"The separation of Yin and Yang is the rule of heaven and earth. Many times, you can't see ghosts, and ghosts can't make you see them on their own initiative."
Upon hearing this, Li Mao pulled the cherry out of his mouth while wearing a mournful expression.
"I was just curious, how could I suddenly get lost?"
"Who knew there would be two rows of dead bodies standing by the roadside!"
"And that guy in your shop, he suddenly pressed his big face against the glass, and it scared me half to death!"
Li Mao suddenly stopped at this point, then hesitated before speaking.
"Quantum, I think I saw Zhao Hongwei before I fainted. He was being chased by something strange, running into the deep mountains."
"That monster was laughing as it chased after us, it was really creepy!"
"Oh right, when he was being chased by the monster and passed by me, he took the opportunity to kick the doll."
"Then they banged on my window and told me to go home right away, and told me not to drive around aimlessly in the middle of the night."
Zhao Youliang: "......"
"The fact that Hongwei still has the time to care about you means that he should be safe."
"Oh, by the way, Li Mao, did you get a good look at what the thing chasing him looked like? Tell me in detail!"
"I remember, how could I not remember! Although I was about to faint at the time, that thing was so ugly, I can't forget it once I've seen it!"
Li Mao nodded deeply upon hearing this.
"To put it simply: it's covered in fur, even longer than a poodle; and it's incredibly tall, probably over two meters but less than three meters!"
"His face was dark, and he was laughing loudly as he chased after Zhao Hongwei."
Upon hearing Li Mao's description, Zhao Youliang and Liao Zhiyuan immediately exclaimed in unison, "Mountain spirit!"
Mountain spirits are legendary monsters found in the mountains.
The earliest record is found in the "Huainanzi: Fanlunxun": Xiaoyang is a mountain spirit.
It is humanoid, tall, with a black face, hairy body, and backward-facing heels. It smiles when it sees people.
"Didn't Hongwei go to find the Seven Tragic Stones? How could he have provoked the mountain spirits for no reason..."
As he spoke, Zhao Youliang subconsciously took out the "disaster stone" from his pocket.
Just then, a strange thing happened: the disaster stone suddenly rose into the air and with a whoosh, it burrowed into Li Mao's crotch.
This startled Li Mao, who quickly reached in and grabbed, exclaiming, "Oh my god, what is this?!"
"Oh my god, don't try to crawl into my butt!"
puff!
"ah?!"
Perhaps the pain was too much, because the usually strong Li Mao squatted on the ground for a long time before he could get up again, his face full of tears.
"Quantum, quantum, I'm not clean anymore, that thing crawled in from behind me!"
"I'm so sorry to my wife!"
Zhao Youliang: "......"
"Li Mao, did the rock really crawl into your stomach from the bottom?!"
"Hmm!" Upon hearing this, Li Mao actually cried: "You won't believe me, just look."
After saying that, she stuck out her big buttocks in front of Zhao Youliang, wanting to take off her pants for him to check.
Seeing this, Zhao Youliang quickly kicked him away: "Don't take it off, I believe you!"
Just as Li Mao was groaning as he got up, he was so frightened that he fell back to the ground.
"Oh my god, what a huge grasshopper!"
However, because of the "Disaster Stone," Li Mao's Heavenly Eye was fully opened, allowing him to see Xie Tangxian staring at him with great curiosity.
Seeing that Li Mao could see him, the grasshopper spirit became even more curious.
"Oh dear, has this silly boy turned misfortune into a blessing, and found himself with a destiny to the immortals?"
"But it doesn't seem like it. Why is it still so silly?"
Realizing that the giant grasshopper was a spirit from Zhao Youliang's shrine, Li Mao was no longer afraid.
After respectfully smiling and apologizing to all the immortals, he finally spoke to Zhao Youliang with a dejected expression.
"Quantum, such a big rock is in my stomach, will I be unable to poop?"
"Should I go to the county hospital to see Brother Gang tomorrow?!"
Zhao Youliang didn't know how to answer Li Mao's question.
Because he had never experienced anything like this before.
"Well, Li Mao, if you want to go, go and have a look. It would be best if you could have surgery to remove it or pull it out."
"That stone is a 'disaster stone'; whoever it touches will suffer bad luck."
"No way, it has such side effects?!" Just as Li Mao was still doubting it, Chang Jie, who had been smoking, suddenly flicked his cigarette ash.
Unfortunately, the burning cigarette butt was flicked off and landed right in Li Mao's collar.
"Holy crap, it's burning me!"
As Li Mao jumped and hopped, he kept bumping into walls, table corners, and door frames, leaving him bruised and battered all the way.
Left with no other option, Zhao Youliang had to pin him to the ground to prevent Li Mao from suffering further harm.
Of course, the cigarette butt was extinguished in the process.
"Li Mao, look, isn't this the beginning of our bad luck?"
Upon seeing this, Chang Jie, the instigator, realized he had gotten himself into trouble.
When he flew down to apologize to Li Mao, he knocked over his own memorial tablet.
So the heavy wooden plaque, weighing over two pounds, hit Li Mao squarely on the forehead with a thud, and the kid immediately screamed and passed out.
Everyone: "......"
Chang Jie: "Quantum, I'm apologizing to him now, but can't he hear me?"
"Never mind then, I'll apologize when he wakes up."
"The young general once said that I should be a polite person. If I accidentally hurt someone, I should apologize to them as soon as possible."
If they don't accept my apology, then... then...
Chang Jie's hesitant and stammering manner immediately aroused Zhao Youliang's curiosity.
The main reason was curiosity about the young general's thought process: "So what, Little Egg, just tell me!"
Upon hearing this, Chang Jie's chubby little face turned red: "Then let's kill him."
"Now that he's dead, I don't need to apologize anymore, and I don't need his forgiveness either."
Zhao Youliang: "......"
