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

As for the toll…I haven’t done this since I got here.

They can pass through here if they want to, and forget about it if they don’t want to.”

Zhang Hao waved his hand and continued, "Now that you drank the water from the Styx, your Yang energy has weakened, and you can see things that were invisible before. The so-called barrier between the Yin and Yang worlds combines the Yang world and the Yin world into one. You will experience this for yourself in the future. I will first teach you how to summon spirits."

After saying that, Zhang Hao suddenly drew a symbol on the palm of his hand and then slapped it on his forehead.

The yang fire above Zhang Hao's head split into a fire and ran into the palm of Zhang Hao's hand.

Zhang Hao then dragged Zihuo with one hand and pointed at Zihuo with the other hand, muttering, "Wandering souls, where do they live? Riverside, wild places, graveyards, and forests. They are frightened and have lost their true souls. Please, the road gods, help find them quickly. The boy will send the souls away and the possessed bodies will be safe. I will use my Yang Fire to call back the ghosts that will never return!"

With Zhang Hao's final shout, the ghosts passing by on the official road to the underworld suddenly stopped and looked at him with great vigilance.

Several of the ghosts even took two steps towards Zhang Hao, but seemed to be confused by his mantra. After taking two or three steps, they came to their senses, looked frightened, bowed to Zhang Hao, and quickly left along the official road.

Zhang Hao’s target is not these ghosts, but the lonely ghosts hiding in the wilderness.

Hearing his voice, lush grass grew in the wilderness and countless black shadows rose into the sky, scaring Hao Xie and Zhang Qilin so much that they jumped up.

Zhang Qilin had seen this kind of ghost before. It was on the way to Sanjia Mountain. The ghost escorted by the ghost soldiers looked like this.

Seeing Zhang Hao calling them out at this time, he felt his scalp tingling, and wondered if there was anything Zhang Hao dare not do, to attract so many ghosts.

In fact, when Zhang Hao first came to the Yin-Yang Inn, he could see these ghosts every night.

I was a little uncomfortable at first, but after so many days, I have gotten used to it.

At this time, after making the ghosts appear, he glanced left and right, and then set his sights on the nearest ghost.

Seeing that the yang fire in Zhang Hao's body was very weak, the ghost showed a greedy look and slowly approached him.

Zhang Hao waited until it got very close, then he suddenly tapped the Yang Fire in his palm with his fingers and shouted, "Collect!"

Then, the yang fire suddenly filled the sky, and a huge net was spread out to cover the sky and the earth, blocking all the escape routes of the ghost, and then enveloped it, imprisoning the ghost in front of it.

After Zhang Hao imprisoned the ghost, he found a paper figure made by Hao Xie and stuffed the ghost directly into it.

I saw the yang fire like a rope binding the whole body of the paper man. When the ghost came into contact with the yang fire, it screamed as if it was burned, and the sound was creepy.

As soon as Zhang Hao shook hands, the yang fire disappeared. He walked to the paper figure and drew a talisman on it with a brush. The voice of the ghost stopped abruptly.

"This is the whole process of the necromancy." Zhang Hao explained, "What you saw with your left eye just now was the underworld. If you look at it with your right eye now, you won't be able to see anything. Also, when the three Yang fires in your bodies are restored, you won't be able to see the underworld either. I can't explain to you the barrier between the underworld and the Yang world. You can only figure it out on your own."

At this time, Hao Xie and Zhang Qilin opened their eyes and looked at the paper man in shock.

It had turned into the appearance of the ghost just now, but because of Zhang Hao's restraint, the paper man did not move at all.

Zhang Qilin pointed at the paper figurine and asked, "Shopkeeper, is this the spirit?"

Zhang Hao nodded slightly: "I extracted a little bit of this ghost and put it into the paper man, giving the paper man a little ghost age. When the ghost age is reached, the paper man will burn and disappear by itself."

Just as he finished speaking, the sound of Zhang Hao's door opening was heard.

Fatty Wang walked out in disheveled clothes, his face pale but with a smile on his lips.

When Hao Xie saw Fatty Wang, he couldn't help but teased him, "Fatty, what's wrong with you? Didn't you go into the house to get the money? Why are you like this?"

Fatty Wang glanced at Hao Xie, then looked deeply at Zhang Qilin, and said with a smile: "I, Fatty, made a fortune this time!"

After that, he looked at Zhang Hao and clasped his fists and said, "Boss, when do we start?"

Zhang Hao nodded slightly: "Take a rest first, and we'll see tomorrow. If there is no rejection tonight, it means you are suitable for this tattoo. If there is rejection, I will help you wash it quickly, otherwise your luck will be suppressed."

Fatty Wang smiled and touched his chest: "Okay, boss, I'll wait for you to tattoo me tomorrow! Haha, I'm finally going to have a tattoo! But this thing is really painful, I'm going to go back to my room and lie down first!"

Hao Xie and Zhang Qilin looked at each other and asked in confusion: "Tattoo?!"

Zhang Hao nodded slightly and looked at Zhang Qilin with a smile: "Well, I remember that Fatty has always wanted a tattoo like yours, so I just happened to get him one this time. But my tattoo is different from ordinary tattoos, and it is also slightly different from the tattoo of the little brother. Fatty, if you can suppress this tattoo, then it will be of endless benefit to you in the future."

Fatty Wang nodded seriously, patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, boss, I will do my best to suppress it!"

Hao Xie couldn't help but ask, "Boss, what are you going to tattoo on Fatty?"

Zhang Hao glanced at the fat man's chest and said, "He is going to retrieve corpses in the future. He belongs to the water element, so it is most appropriate to tattoo a black tortoise."

Then Zhang Hao took another look at Hao Xie and Zhang Qilin and said, "You guys continue practicing. I'm going back to the house."

After saying that, Zhang Hao walked back to his room.

Two minutes later he came out again with a book in his hand.

After coming to Hao Xie, he handed the book to him and said, "This is some explanation of the paper-binding technique. Take a look at it first. I have given you the introductory stuff. It's up to you how much you can comprehend the rest. But with this, I think it shouldn't be difficult."

When Hao Xie saw the book that Zhang Hao handed over, his eyes suddenly lit up.

There were only a few large characters written on the book - [Fazi Sutra - The Secret Art of Paper-Bending].

"Boss, is this the advanced paper-folding technique you mentioned?" Hao Xie couldn't help but ask.

Zhang Hao nodded. "It contains annotations by predecessors, as well as their views and insights on paper-binding. If you really want to get started, I think reading this will be of greater help to you."

Hao Xie carefully held the scripture handed over by Zhang Hao. Although it was only a part of it, this part happened to be all about explaining the paper-folding art.

So he was very satisfied with this and nodded repeatedly, saying, "Don't worry, I'll start researching tonight!"

Zhang Hao looked at the two of them again and then walked back to his room.

After seeing Zhang Hao return to the house, Hao Xie and Zhang Qilin glanced at Fatty Wang's room at the same time.

After the two looked at each other, they couldn't help but secretly guess out of curiosity: What would Wang Pangzi look like if he got the Xuanwu tattoo? According to the strength of the money distribution this time, Hao Xie got the Dacheng Paper Tie Technique, and he was secretly glad in his heart.

Zhang Qilin and Hao Xie learned the art of summoning spirits together, but Zhang Qilin obviously had a deeper understanding of the art. This was largely because he had previous experience with ghosts and even had a face-to-face conversation with Bai Wuchang of the underworld.

On the surface, Fatty Wang seemed to have made a lot of money, but anyone with a discerning eye knew that his contribution to accompanying Zhang Hao to retrieve the body and successfully winning such a large order was far beyond what money could measure.

The value of that tattoo undoubtedly far exceeds money, and should at least be compared with the great paper-binding technique or the art of summoning spirits.

Although Fatty Wang looked painful, his joy was evident in his words. He was even more excited than if he had picked up tens of millions.

Especially the excitement in his eyes, it seemed that he was not as happy as before when I mentioned giving him 10,000 taels of silver.

Zhang Qilin glanced at Fatty Wang’s bedroom, and then his hand unconsciously touched his chest.

He guessed that what Fatty Wang was looking at just now was probably his chest.

Could it be that Fatty Wang's Xuanwu tattoo is even more powerful than his ancestral Qilin tattoo?
Zhang Qilin retracted his gaze, walked to the well, and drank the well water in big gulps. He was shivering with cold.

Then he closed his eyes and sat by the well, intending to spy on the underworld again.

Hao Xie observed Zhang Qilin for a moment and shook his head, "You are too cruel! I felt my soul collapse after watching it once, and you actually want to watch it again!"

After saying that, Hao Xie also walked towards his room. He didn't plan to continue practicing with Zhang Qilin because he had more important things to do now, which was to study the paper-folding technique.

After entering the house, Hao Xie couldn't wait to open the "Fa Zi Jing Pian - Paper-Zha Secret Art" given to him by Zhang Hao, and immersed himself in it: "There is heaven and earth, then all things come into being. The universe is filled with all things..."

At the same time, after Zhang Hao walked into the room, the system's voice sounded again in his mind: [Ding, it is detected that the host has an opportunity to upgrade the inn. Do you want to upgrade the inn now? ]

Zhang Hao blinked and nodded, "It's time to upgrade the morgue."

At night, the moon was shrouded in gloomy clouds. Zhang Hao opened the door and walked towards the morgue.

At this time, Zhang Qilin had been practicing necromancy for a whole night and fell into a deep sleep.

Zhang Hao stood at the door of the morgue, and the system's voice came from his mind: [Ding, the morgue is being upgraded, please wait...]

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Hao saw the walls of the morgue changing at a speed visible to the naked eye, from the original tattered red bricks to the same blue bricks as the courtyard wall.

The door of the morgue was also changed from an ordinary wooden board to two nine-nail doors that opened from the inside and outside.

Although the door is made of wood, Zhang Hao touched it and felt that it was made of a century-old iron birch tree, and its fire resistance was very strong.

In ancient times, only city gates were made of such fine materials.

Just talking about this door, unless the corpse inside is very strong, one or more corpses will not be able to cause any damage to this door.

Zhang Hao looked up and found that there was a sign above the door of the morgue with "Corpse Gathering Gate" written on it.

Then he took another look inside the morgue. Both the walls and the bricks on the ground had been replaced with bluestone blocks, which were as hard as the courtyard walls.

However, what surprised Zhang Hao the most was the change in the coffin.

The twenty coffins originally placed here were all abandoned coffins they moved from Fengmen Village. They were either torn by holes knocked out by rats and insects or had cracks due to problems with the material.

In addition, the evil spirit of the corpse was too strong, making the already fragile coffin even more broken.

Therefore, Zhang Hao had already had the idea of ​​changing a few coffins.

And now all the coffins in the morgue are in brand new condition.

Although it still has the four colors of yellow, red, black and white, the yellow coffin used for ordinary people has become an ice coffin.

Ordinary corpses have less evil spirits and most corpses still retain the characteristics of normal decay, so using an ice coffin can better preserve the corpse.

Old people often contain death energy, and the death energy in corpses over the age of eighty is even stronger. The blood python's bones contain blood energy that can effectively neutralize the death energy emitted by the corpse, so the original red coffin was turned into a blood python bone coffin.

The corpses of those who died abnormally due to war, suicide, early death, etc. have strong yin energy and are most likely to be resurrected or transformed, so the black coffin was turned into a black gold coffin made of an extremely strong material.

Unmarried women or young boys who died young may hold resentment for their early death, so the evil spirits from these corpses are very strong. Crystal and peach wood can naturally restrain evil spirits, so the white coffins originally used were changed into peach wood crystal coffins.

But what shocked Zhang Hao the most was that there was a golden dragon coffin in his morgue!
"This is... a golden coffin!"

Zhang Hao had previously thought that given the current level of funeral culture, few people would build a golden coffin, after all, there was nowhere to put it after it was built. If such a coffin was placed in a tomb, it would simply attract attention.

Moreover, a golden coffin is very expensive to make. Even if Zhang Hao used all the silver rewarded by the system to exchange for it, he could not get a golden coffin.

If there was no golden coffin, the system would probably not have given him any tasks related to the emperor's corpse.

After all, if the emperor's corpse is carried back to the inn, it will be a big problem if there is no coffin specifically for placing the corpse.

"I never thought that upgrading the morgue this time would have such great benefits!" Zhang Hao could not help but take another look at the golden coffin. He saw that the golden dragon on the coffin was wrapped with lifelike embossed dragon scales, the dragon's eyes were bright, and a huge dragon head was hovering due north of the coffin.

It is worthy of being a coffin specially used to hold the emperor's body. It is more magnificent than other coffins.

Zhang Hao walked to the golden coffin, put his hands on the faucet, and pressed it hard. Only then did he realize that the way to open this golden coffin was different from that of an ordinary coffin.

Ordinary coffins can only be opened by pushing the coffin lid, but the golden coffin in front of you has a mechanism.

The coffin will only open when the faucet is pressed.

At this time, the stone slabs on the golden coffin opened up like flowers, revealing the space inside the golden coffin.

There was nothing special about the decoration inside, but Zhang Hao noticed at a glance that there was an imperial aura surrounding the coffin, which was extremely domineering and sharp.

If an ordinary corpse were lying in this golden coffin, it would probably be unable to withstand the invasion of this imperial energy.

Only the corpses whose horoscopes contain the fate of an emperor can bear this kind of imperial aura.

Moreover, the imperial energy is beneficial to those corpses and does no harm. (End of this chapter)
