My daily mountain driving, I met a fox at the beginning and got married

So when Hao Xie heard that there was a highly skilled paper-binding technique that he could learn, he immediately nodded and said excitedly, "I really want to learn it! If I can master the art of paper-binding, I won't have to be afraid even if I encounter ghost soldiers!"

Zhang Hao smiled and said, "What I taught you before was just the basics of paper-binding, and you wouldn't understand if I taught you something too profound. Now that you have a certain foundation, it will be much easier to learn. I will teach you the complete paper-binding technique later."

Upon seeing this, Hao Xie nodded quickly, then clasped his fists towards Zhang Hao and said, "Thank you, Shopkeeper Zhang! Shopkeeper Zhang is really thoughtful!"

Zhang Hao waved his hand and said, "This is also for the good of our inn. Now we have a footman in our inn, and in the future we will have a water god and a paper-making craftsman. Then we will have three masters in Yin Yang Inn. And when the inn develops and builds in the future, we will need to continue to expand and recruit, and we will need you to teach us when the time comes."

Hao Xie nodded repeatedly in agreement and said, "Haha, then I can become a real master. If I can fully learn the art of paper-binding and practice it to perfection, I would like to see whether my paper figures are more powerful or the ghost soldiers are more powerful. And if I encounter sea monkeys or something like that during archaeological excavations in the future, I won't be completely defenseless."

Zhang Hao nodded, knowing that Hao Xie always wanted to stick to his archaeological career.

When he came to Yin Yang Inn, Zhang Hao also promised him that he would help him with archaeological research.

Now that he has been given the story of corpse-driving, Hao Xie must have known a lot of places.

Those tombs buried deep underground and in the sea have buried a lot of history. Now Hao Xie has the strange story of driving corpses and paper-binding techniques, so he can go there when he becomes a master in the future.

At this time, Zhang Hao set his sights on Zhang Qilin. Seeing a rare hint of expectation in Zhang Qilin's eyes, Zhang Hao did not say what he would give him but asked, "Brother Qilin, is there anything you want now?"

Zhang Qilin frowned for a moment, then touched his chin and thought for a while before saying thoughtfully...

"If possible, I really want to take my corpse-driving skills to the next level." Zhang Qilin said thoughtfully, "This time on the way to the military area, I tried to let the corpses participate in the battle. Although compared with those nine-headed bird killers, the performance of the corpses in combat is still far behind, but I can feel that the control of the corpses seems a bit stiff and not flexible enough."

"It would be great if we could make the corpse move more smoothly." He raised his head, his eyes flickering with anticipation, "Boss, do you have any suggestions? If so, I don't even want the inn's reward!"

Zhang Hao stroked his chin, looked at Zhang Qilin, and said slowly: "Do you want to control the corpse more accurately? I didn't expect you to have improved to this level, faster than I expected. It's really amazing."

He glanced at Zhang Qilin, Hao Xie and Fatty Wang. Although they learned the art of corpse-driving together, Hao Xie could now drive corpses hundreds of miles away, Fatty Wang was not yet proficient enough in the art, and Zhang Qilin could already control corpses to fight.

Zhang Hao knew very well that from driving corpses to fighting with corpses, one needed to perfectly master every basic skill of the corpse-driving technique, such as turning, jumping, going uphill, downhill, and dumb dog skills.

These basic skills must be practiced very solidly before you can control corpses to fight.

Because the battle is composed of countless tiny movements of the corpses, this method is much more difficult than ordinary corpse-driving.

However, this is not difficult for Zhang Hao.

He pondered for a moment and then said, "It's not that there is no way. In fact, you know yourself that if you want the corpse to fight, one way is to practice all the basic skills of corpse-driving techniques to perfection. In this way, by combining each action together, the corpse can fight."

"But there is a problem with this, which is that you can't control too many corpses to fight. Even if you can barely control a lot of corpses, it's hard to bring out any advantages. Because human mental power is limited, you can't focus on two things at once, so controlling one corpse to fight is already difficult, and controlling three is almost the limit."

"However, if you learn the art of summoning spirits, it will be different." Zhang Qilin looked at Zhang Hao in confusion and asked, "Summoning spirits? When I met Bai Wuchang from the underworld before, I thought that I should learn some techniques related to the soul, so that I would not be helpless when I encounter ghosts again."

Zhang Hao nodded, then looked at Hao Xie and said, "After practicing the paper-binding technique to a certain level, Hao Xie also needs to learn the art of summoning souls. Because summoning souls can enhance both paper-binding and corpse-driving. With the art of summoning souls, you can communicate with the corpses when you are driving them, which is commonly known as borrowing a corpse to revive the soul! Then you can control their souls instead of their bodies, and naturally you don't have to control every subtle movement of the corpses."

"In this way, you can control many corpses to fight at the same time." Hao Xie asked after hearing this: "This seems a bit like the Corpse Sacrifice Order? The Corpse Sacrifice Order can control the actions of many corpses at once."

Zhang Hao shook his head and explained, "The actions of the corpse sacrifice order are very dull. Once you have set the task, it is difficult to change the actions of the corpse. But the necromancy can control the corpse at will. Because you are communicating with the corpse, just like possessing a spirit with a paper figure."

Hao Xie nodded and said, "Is that so! It seems that no matter who we are, we will have to learn the art of summoning spirits in the end! I saw the benefits of possessing spirits when Zhang Hao was making paper figures a few days ago. The paper figure was very obedient, which must be related to the possessed spirit."

After hearing Zhang Hao's explanation, the expectation and excitement in Zhang Qilin's eyes became stronger. He couldn't help but nodded slightly to Zhang Hao and said, "Boss, I want to learn!"

Seeing Zhang Qilin's eager look, Zhang Hao smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll teach you everything. From now on, you will all be the masters of my inn, haha."

For a moment, Zhang Hao felt like he was tricking the organization into joining. However, whether it was Hao Xie, Zhang Qilin or Fatty Wang, they all got what they wanted after coming to the Yin Yang Inn. Now everyone recognized the status of the Yin Yang Inn and no longer had the mentality of giving it a try at the beginning.

At this time, Zhang Qilin looked at Zhang Hao and felt like he was itching to start learning the art of summoning spirits right away. He felt that if he couldn't learn it today, he wouldn't be able to sleep well at night. So he looked at Zhang Hao and urged him, "Boss, when do we start?"

"What to start?" Zhang Hao was stunned for a moment. Not only him, but also Hao Xie and Fatty Wang were stunned for a moment. Zhang Qilin urged again: "Spiritual summoning!"

For a moment, everyone in the Yin Yang Inn looked at Zhang Qilin in astonishment, with question marks written all over their faces. "Is this still the brother Qilin I know?" Hao Xie asked doubtfully.

Fatty Wang also shook his head and said in bewilderment: "Oh my god! Brother Qilin, you have changed! You were not so anxious before. I thought you would never be anxious and would never be moved by anything!"

Zhang Hao also laughed dumbly and waved his hands, saying, "No hurry, no hurry. Let's wait until it gets a little darker. Fatty Wang, come with me to the room!"

When Fatty Wang heard this, his eyes lit up immediately. He stood up, patted his butt, followed him and asked, "Brother Zhang Hao, are you going to give me the silver?" At this time, Fatty Wang followed Zhang Hao to his room, while Hao Xie and Zhang Qilin looked at each other, wondering why Zhang Hao wanted to see Fatty Wang alone.

But about ten minutes later, Wang Pangzi's scream suddenly came from the room: "Ah! Be gentle! It hurts so much, boss. How about we do it halfway first?"

"Then forget it and continue!"

"Boss, are you sure this is the Four Elephants? Oh no! I'm going to faint!"

Wang Pangzi's screams began to be heard from Zhang Hao's room.

It wasn't until half an hour later that the sound stopped.

However, Zhang Hao and Fatty Wang still did not come out of the room, which made Zhang Qilin and Hao Xie look puzzled.

"Brother Qilin!" Hao Xie couldn't help but ask jokingly, "What do you think Fatty Wang did when he entered the shopkeeper's room?"

Zhang Qilin shook his head, seemed to have no interest, and said nothing.

Hao Xie curled his lips, thinking that it would be difficult to get a response from Zhang Qilin, so he shrugged and said, "No way!"

About half an hour later, Zhang Hao walked out of the room, but there was no sign of Fatty Wang behind him.

Hao Xie couldn't help but ask, "Boss, where is Fatty?" He wiped the sweat from his forehead and fanned his clothes.

"He fainted, it's okay." Zhang Hao said calmly, "Come, I will teach you the art of summoning spirits now."

Hao Xie and Zhang Qilin looked at each other and tacitly did not mention the matter of Fatty Wang.

They followed Zhang Hao to the well. Zhang Hao pointed at the water in the well and explained, "I have used spells and magic to nourish this well. Now it can directly connect to the Styx and get the water from the Styx."

After that, Zhang Hao took out a bucket and drew a bucket of water from the well. As soon as the water was drawn up, a chill filled the yard, causing Hao Xie and Zhang Qilin to get goose bumps.

Hao Xie looked at the water in the bucket in shock and asked in amazement, "Water that leads directly to the Styx? Shopkeeper, you didn't tell me that last time. You only said that drinking the water from this well can increase your fortune and life span?"

Zhang Hao nodded, looked at the Styx water in the bucket and said, "In the future, when you receive an order, you will collect the lifespan and luck of the client and seal it in this well. When you drink the water from this well, you will naturally increase your blessings and lifespan. However, there are no tasks that can collect lifespan luck, so there is no question of increasing blessings and lifespan."

He paused and continued, "But we who run the Yin-Yang Inn must suppress our own Yang energy. This way we can find the balance point between the Yin and Yang worlds and feel the barrier between the Yin and Yang worlds. Now, try to drink a sip of the water in this bucket."

"Ah?" Hao Xie grinned, looking at the bucket of water hesitantly, feeling a little scared. He thought, if what Zhang Hao said was true, there shouldn't be any problem drinking the water from the Styx, right? But then he thought again, he seemed to have drunk a lot of it without knowing it these days, and he didn't seem to feel anything unusual. Now that he suddenly knew about it, he was a little scared.

Zhang Qilin, who was standing by, was very straightforward. He picked up the bucket and scooped up some water and drank it. As the well water went down his throat, he felt a chill all over his body, and even a little bit of white frost appeared on his eyebrows. However, he seemed unaware of his changes.

After Zhang Qilin finished drinking, he endured the chill that surged through his body and sat aside to feel it carefully. Seeing this, Hao Xie did not hesitate any longer. He picked up the ladle and took a big sip. He felt a strong chill in his heart. The cold feeling stimulated every cell in his body and even felt like he was frozen into an ice cube.

"Oh my god!" Hao Xie closed his eyes tightly and thought to himself, how can I feel the alternation of yin and yang? It's like being frozen into an ice stick at the North Pole. Then he saw a layer of white frost on his sweat hairs, but it soon began to melt and penetrate into his skin.

Hao Xie and Zhang Qilin may not be able to see it at this time, but Zhang Hao can see that the Yang Fire in their bodies is slowly weakening. After a while, the two opened their eyes and looked around with confusion.

"What is this?" Hao Xie couldn't help but ask. Because at this moment, the world in their eyes actually changed a little.

"Your left eye is yin and your right eye is yang. Try to look at the world with one eye first." Zhang Hao said at this time.

After hearing Zhang Hao's words, the two men closed their right eyes one after another, and then saw that Fengmen Village, which was originally surrounded by farmhouses, had now turned into an open wilderness. And this wilderness had only one road.

The strange thing is that their Yin Yang Inn still appears in this wild land, but it is located in the middle of the road. The road is not very wide, but it is blocked by the Yin Yang Inn.

Soon after, several figures began to appear on the road. When passing by the Yin Yang Inn, they all looked at the armchair placed in the yard. Some of them nodded slightly, while others looked at it deeply.

"Is this the world of ghosts?" Zhang Qilin asked curiously.

Zhang Hao walked to the side of the armchair and said, "This was an official road a long time ago. But later, more and more people walked on this road, so it disappeared. You may be wondering why the road disappeared when more people walked on it. That's because the people on this road are all from the underworld. This road is also an official road in the underworld. Our Yin Yang Inn happens to be at the pass of this official road."

Hao Xie looked at Zhang Hao suspiciously and asked, "Narrow Pass? What does this mean?"

Zhang Hao pointed at the armchair and said, "The pass is blocking this official road. In the past, the man in this yard sat on this armchair and collected tolls from the ghosts passing by. This armchair is an antique, and the man who sat on it was also a master. But two hundred years later, that man has long passed away. Although this armchair has been passed down, no one can control it, and no one has the ability to collect tolls on this official road to the underworld. Gradually, this official road has become deserted. I told you not to sit on it before because of this reason. You can try to sit on it later, but it's not ready yet." (End of this chapter)
