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

He shook his head, decided not to investigate further, and walked into the inn.

"I'm back," he shouted.

At this time, Fatty Wang was meditating beside the well in the yard of the inn.

Hearing Zhang Qilin's voice, he turned his head suddenly, his eyes full of surprise.

He hurried to Zhang Qilin, looked around, and asked with concern: "Brother Qilin, are you okay on the way? I heard that you met Yincha again in Tanzhou, and it seems that there are quite a few Yincha? You can make it out, you are really amazing!"

Zhang Qilin glanced at Fatty Wang calmly, and then said, "It's because of the shopkeeper's powerful magic. Without him, I would have been taken away this time. However, I heard from the shopkeeper that my longevity card has been shaking since then, and it seems that there is a strong crisis lurking around me."

Fatty Wang still looked incredulous when he heard this: "You're fine! What's with that strong sense of crisis? Do you feel like someone is following you all the time?"

Zhang Qilin nodded. He did feel that there was someone around him along the way, but he could not find where that person was.

Could it be that this was the crisis the shopkeeper was talking about? He couldn't see the man, which showed how powerful he was.

He turned to look at Fatty Wang and asked, "Where's Hao Xie?"

Fatty Wang shook his head. "He should still be on his way. When the shopkeeper called him, he was still waiting for you in Tanzhou, so he will be back late. He should be able to arrive tonight or tomorrow morning, right?"

Zhang Qilin nodded slightly, but the western locust tree in Tanzhou suddenly appeared in his mind.

He had clearly not been to Tanzhou for many years, so how could he remember that there was such a locust tree in Tanzhou?
Could it be that I really have some relationship with the Nine Gates?
He asked Fatty Wang again: "Where is the shopkeeper?"

Fatty Wang pointed to Zhang Hao's room and said, "He's still in the room. He's been in there for a whole day. I don't know what he's doing."

Zhang Qilin did not respond, but walked to the door of Zhang Hao's room, knocked on the door, and then said: "Boss, I'm back."

After a while, Zhang Hao's voice came from the room: "Okay, wait for me in the yard, I'll be out later."

At this time, Zhang Hao was in the room carving on a piece of ancient jade with a knife, and what he carved happened to be the official rank of a fourth-rank official.

At this point the talisman has been carved, the only thing left is to summon the spirit.

However, just as he put down the carving knife in his hand, the voice of the system came from his mind.

[Ding, congratulations to the host, you have completed the hidden task sent by the system, Nine Gates Delivering Corpses! ]

[Ding, congratulations to the host, you have obtained 50,000 taels of silver! ]

[Ding, congratulations to the host, you have obtained the underworld artifact, the Soul-Calming Tower! ]

[Ding, congratulations to the host, you have obtained partial inn upgrade permissions! ]

[Warm reminder, when all inns are upgraded to intermediate level and have obtained the seal of Hades, you can apply to open the second-level Yin-Yang Inn! 】

Zhang Hao looked at the Soul-Calming Tower in his hand and couldn't help but raise his eyes slightly.

With this thing, it will be much easier to deal with ghosts.

He stood up and walked outside, thinking about what to upgrade in the inn this time.

However, when he walked out of the room, he saw Fatty Wang and Zhang Qilin in the yard looking at him nervously.

"Boss!" Zhang Qilin shouted.

Zhang Hao looked at Zhang Qilin from head to toe and asked, "Are you okay?"

Zhang Qilin nodded, "But it was very strange when I came back. I always felt like something was following me, but when I turned around, it disappeared."

Zhang Hao frowned slightly, feeling confused and uncertain.

He said calmly, "Okay, as long as you come back safely. Right now, the only one who hasn't come back is Hao Xie. I wonder where he is now."

Just as he finished speaking, suddenly, the mist outside the wall of Yin Yang Inn was blown away by a gust of cold wind.

In the dark night, it seemed as if countless pairs of eyes were staring at the Yin Yang Inn.

Fatty Wang and Zhang Qilin only felt that the invisible gaze made them feel cold in their hearts, and there was a sense of oppression in the air.

Zhang Hao looked towards the entrance of the inn. At this moment, the human skin lantern on the door of the inn was shaking, and the pale light drew large and small circles of light on the ground.

Faintly, a black shadow flashed by the door. Zhang Hao's face suddenly became serious. He frowned and said coldly: "The ghost is following us!"

Just as Zhang Hao finished speaking, he heard footsteps coming from outside the door.

"Thump, tap, tap..." Several people looked at the door in confusion, with a tense heart.

However, a few seconds later, a shadow appeared at the door. Upon closer inspection, it was Hao Xie!

Fatty Wang looked puzzled: "Where is the ghost messenger we promised you?"

After hearing Zhang Hao's call, Hao Xie hurriedly flew back, so he spent much less time on the road than Zhang Qilin.

As soon as he walked into the yard, he stared at Zhang Hao and others in the yard, because they were also looking at him with puzzled expressions.

"What's wrong with you? I look surprised. Is there something wrong with me?" Hao Xie asked.

Zhang Hao shook his head, walked to the middle of the yard, glanced at Hao Xie and asked, "Did you just get off the plane?"

Hao Xie nodded, and then said: "You asked me to come back as quickly as possible, so I booked a flight for the nearest flight and flew back. After getting off the car, I took a taxi directly here."

"Oh my god, it costs several hundred bucks to take a taxi here, brother!" Fatty Wang pouted, feeling a little sorry for Hao Xie's extravagant spending.

Zhang Hao continued to ask: "Did you notice anything when you came in?"

At the same time, he glanced at the human skin lantern at the door. At this time, the white light in the human skin lantern began to dim.

Hao Xie shook his head with a puzzled look on his face: "When we came back? Nothing happened. Oh, it seems that the fog around the inn is a bit heavy today? I didn't feel anything else."

Zhang Hao looked Hao Xie up and down and nodded, "Okay, I'm glad you're alright. Put down your luggage and have a good rest."

At this time, Zhang Qilin walked over and looked at the door with taboo, and couldn't help asking: "Boss, what if the ghost messenger comes in? Do we have a way to deal with it?"

Hearing that a ghost messenger was coming, Hao Xie couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, looking at Zhang Hao and asked hurriedly: "Ghost messenger? What happened in the inn?" "I'll explain this to you later." Zhang Hao shook his head slightly with a hint of coldness in his eyes, and said in a cold voice, "Our Yin-Yang Inn is not a place where people can come and go as they please. Even if a ghost messenger wants to enter my Yin-Yang Inn, he has to think twice!"

After saying that, Zhang Hao turned around and prepared to go back to his room. Then he patted Zhang Qilin on the shoulder and said...

"Come with me. It seems that a part of your soul is still in the old locust tree in Tanzhou. I have to help you call it back." Zhang Qilin narrowed his eyes slightly, and although he was a little puzzled, he still nodded in agreement.

"Ok."

"By the way, boss, I followed your instructions in Tanzhou before, but why did those ghosts act as if they couldn't see me? What kind of magic is this?" Zhang Qilin asked curiously.

Zhang Hao glanced at Zhang Qilin, then pointed to his room and said slowly: "Forget it, let me explain it to you. Go get your longevity card and candle. Don't worry, this candle usually won't go out. And you are already in the inn, so it doesn't matter even if the candle goes out."

Zhang Qilin nodded in agreement and walked towards Zhang Hao's room.

After a while, he returned to the yard with his longevity card.

Everyone noticed that Zhang Qilin's longevity card was covered by a piece of yellow talisman paper, and only half of the word "Zhang" could be vaguely seen.

After Zhang Qilin handed the Changsheng card to Zhang Hao, he pointed at the spell on it and explained: "This spell is called a puppet spell. It is drawn with blood, powder made from locust branches, and juice mixed with cinnabar. If you do it yourself, you can stick it on other living things, such as chickens, dogs, cows, and sheep. In this way, the ghosts will no longer see you, but will see the object you stuck it on, because in their eyes, the object you stuck it on has become your appearance."

“But the situation that night was special. It was unrealistic to teach you how to draw the talisman on the spot, so I could only ask you to sacrifice one-third of your soul to the old locust tree. Then I indirectly helped you to change the situation and make the old locust tree your puppet.

In addition, the mysterious power emanating from the fourth-rank official seal you carried prevented those evil spirits from recognizing you immediately.

After all, the pressure emanating from the seal of a fourth-rank official is not something that an ordinary Yincha can withstand. "Zhang Hao explained in detail.

Zhang Qilin was fascinated by what he heard, a trace of desire flashed in his eyes, and he couldn't help but look at his longevity card and asked: "Shopkeeper, can you teach me this? I want to learn!"

Zhang Hao raised his lips slightly and tore off the talisman on Zhang Qilin's longevity card: "These are just trifles, not very interesting. But if you want to learn, I can teach you. You are now quite good at drawing talismans, so it won't take too much time to learn this. But you have to remember that drawing talismans is only to assist you in driving corpses, and what you really need to study is driving corpses."

Zhang Qilin nodded silently: "Yes, shopkeeper."

"Okay." Zhang Hao waved his hand and glanced at the human skin lantern at the door.

At this time, the paleness in the light gradually turned gloomy and cold, making people feel cold in their hearts.

"Let me help you summon your soul first. Go get a cup of well water, and then put a drop of your blood in the well water." Zhang Hao ordered.

Zhang Qilin walked to the well, drew a bucket of well water, bit his finger, and dripped a drop of blood into the bowl.

Then, Zhang Hao put down Zhang Qilin's longevity card, held the torn puppet talisman between his fingers, took Zhang Qilin's bowl, and silently chanted the spell: "The law of heaven is clear, the law of earth is spiritual. Gather the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and bind the spirit into the invisible! The soul returns to its place!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a puff of white smoke suddenly came out of the talisman paper in his hand, and then the yellow talisman paper began to burn.

Seeing this scene, Fatty Wang, Hao Xie and Zhang Qilin looked at each other, secretly shocked at Zhang Hao's attainments in magic.

After the talisman paper burned, Zhang Hao placed the ashes in a bowl of water and shook it slightly. The ashes actually melted directly into the water without any turbidity.

Then he handed the bowl of water to Zhang Qilin: "Okay, drink it. Then don't leave the inn for the next seven days. Seven days later, in the early morning, when the first dog barks in the village, you just stand in the yard and wait."

Zhang Qilin nodded silently, and the scene where they saw the villagers guiding souls at the ferry at Sanjia Mountain emerged in his mind.

This time his soul should be able to find it back on its own, at least it won’t be escorted back by the underworld!

After all, there are many evil spirits outside the inn looking for Zhang Qilin.

Even if his ghost was really caught, it would be impossible for him to come back safely.

Zhang Qilin was full of confidence in Zhang Hao: "Yes, I understand."

Just as he finished speaking, a cold wind suddenly blew in the yard.

Everyone turned around suddenly, because the wind was blowing in from the gate of the yard.

As soon as they turned around, they saw that the white light from the human skin lantern hanging at the door of the inn suddenly turned into a faint green light.

They had seen this kind of light once before.

At that time, when Zhang Hao was holding the fourth-rank official position in the inn, an ancient government office seemed to appear vaguely in the morgue, and this faint green light was flickering in the inn.

At this time, this kind of light appeared again, and several people couldn't help but think silently: Could it be that the ghost messenger Zhang Hao mentioned has finally come?
Zhang Hao snorted coldly, took two steps forward and sat down next to the armchair, as if he was waiting for someone - someone who would definitely come.

Then everyone saw the two human skin lanterns at the door shaking inexplicably.

On this already nerve-wracking night, the people in the inn became nervous when they saw the two lights swaying in the absence of wind.

"Shopkeeper? Is that ghost messenger... coming?"

Fatty Wang swallowed dryly and looked at the door with great fear.

Although nothing could be seen at the door and no human figure appeared, Fatty Wang felt that a black shadow would suddenly appear there in the next second.

The more I thought about it, the more scared I felt.

Zhang Hao ignored Fatty Wang and said calmly while looking at the door: "Don't play with my lights. You can't afford to pay for them if you break them."

Zhang Qilin, Hao Xie, and Fatty Wang looked with their eyes wide open, not knowing who Zhang Hao was talking to. There was clearly no one in front of them, not even a shadow.

Could it be that the ghost messenger has already arrived?
The next moment, as the words fell, a shadow really appeared at the door.

The phantom was wearing a loose black robe that fluttered in the wind, looking very majestic.

He was very tall, about 1.80 meters tall. It was hard to tell his figure, but from the robe he was wearing, I could tell he was not very fat.

Black evil energy emerged from the gaps in the robe, and the face under the cloak could not be seen clearly, but the eyes of this ghost were very unique, shining like a cat's eyes in the dark.

"Humph!"

The shadow snorted coldly, stood outside the door and glanced inside the inn, then said coldly, "Who the hell do you think you are? How dare you pretend to be a fourth-rank official! You wasted a whole day of my time!"

The shadow looked at the entrance and the courtyard wall of the inn again, shook his head and said, "The ancient trades in the Yang world are almost extinct now, and the Yin-Yang inn has long been extinct. I didn't expect to see the last Yin-Yang inn in the Yin and Yang worlds here today! It's quite interesting... But... How dare a shabby place like yours call itself a Yin-Yang inn? Are you guys worthy of stepping on Yin and Yang?"

Hearing the voice, Zhang Qilin, Hao Xie, and Fatty Wang all looked at the phantom in shock, unable to believe that the ghost messenger actually showed up. (End of this chapter)
