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

After hearing this, Lao Xu immediately turned around and ran to prepare the materials.

Cinnabar is rare nowadays, but Lao Xu knew that there was a magic gourd on the beam of his house filled with cinnabar, which was obtained by his mother from the Taoist temple when he was a child.

He didn't care about anything else. He poured out the cinnabar, went to the next yard to get the blood of a yellow dog, and added the freshly mashed garlic in the kitchen, and brought them all to Zhang Hao.

After Zhang Hao took the ingredients, he lifted Tiezhu's clothes to expose his chest, and first poured all the mashed garlic into Tiezhu's mouth.

Then he closed his mouth and said, "Don't swallow it, just hold it in your mouth."

I don’t know if Tiezhu could hear it, but Zhang Hao’s words made the surrounding villagers look puzzled.

Then Zhang Hao drew a general symbol on the position of Tiezhu's heart and wrote the word "舍" on the position of his lungs.

After doing all this, Zhang Hao muttered to himself:

"Xuanzong of heaven and earth, the root of all qi."

"Cultivation for hundreds of millions of kalpas will prove my magical power."

"All gods pay homage and serve the thunder."

"Ghosts and demons are frightened, and goblins are annihilated!"

"The laws of heaven are pure, the laws of earth are spiritual, the golden divine spell dares to pardon all demons and evildoers!"

After saying that, Zhang Hao raised his palm, and a sharp light suddenly shot out of his eyes. He stared at Tie Zhu's chest and shouted: "Get out of here!"

Then he slapped Tiezhu on the chest.

"Snapped!"

Tiezhu suddenly coughed, and two round lumps appeared on his chest and began to move towards his neck.

When the fist moved to his neck, Tiezhu's neck turned blue. At the same time, he grabbed the bed sheet tightly with both hands, and his strength was so great that he tore the bed sheet into pieces.

After the two big bags disappeared, Tiezhu's face turned even darker. Although his eyes were closed, it could be seen from his ferocious expression and twisted body that he was in great pain at the moment.

Seeing Tiezhu's state, Tiezhu's mother asked anxiously, "Master, how is my son? Why does he look more miserable? Is he okay?"

Lao Xu at the side quickly grabbed her and scolded her: "What do you know, woman? Say less and don't interfere with the master's practice!"

Zhang Hao ignored the two of them, stretched out his fingers and pointed at Tiezhu's chest, then pushed upwards to Tiezhu's jaw.

Then Tiezhu was seen closing his eyes, frowning, and his body suddenly straightened, spitting out a mouthful of black blood.

The black blood was mixed with mashed garlic, giving off a fishy smell.

However, after spitting out the black blood, Tiezhu's complexion began to gradually return to normal, and he gradually regained his breath.

It's just a pity that he still has his eyes closed and shows no signs of waking up.

Seeing Tiezhu's complexion gradually recover, Lao Xu and Tiezhu's mother were surprised and happy. Their eyes widened. Then they turned to look at Zhang Hao and asked anxiously:
"Master Zhang, is my Tiezhu getting better?"

Zhang Hao exhaled lightly, tidied Tiezhu's clothes, patted his chest lightly, and said slowly:
“Not fully recovered yet.”

"It just gave him a glimmer of hope for the time being."

"The evil spirit has been lingering in his body for too long. If it had been a moment later, Tiezhu's soul would have dissipated."

"Once his three souls and seven spirits dissipate, he will become a puppet of the yellow-skinned man just like the corpse outside. The yellow-skinned man will take the opportunity to occupy his body and continue to do evil."

"Judging from the method, this should be the work of the yellow-skinned guy you offended before."

"Although Tiezhu has temporarily saved his life, strictly speaking, he cannot be considered a living person, but is in a dead state."

When he heard the word "dead", Lao Xu was shocked, thinking that Tiezhu was really beyond saving.

But in the Yin-Yang Inn, the definition of "dead" is different. Zhang Hao had explained to Zhang Qilin and others before that after a person dies, they will go to the Yin City and receive the ghost card of the underworld before they can enter the underworld. Before receiving the ghost card, they are considered dead; after receiving it, the soul is called a ghost and the body becomes a corpse.

Old Xu knew nothing about this and thought Tiezhu was beyond saving. His face suddenly changed and he asked anxiously:

"Master, what does this mean? I don't quite understand."

"Hasn't my Tiezhu gotten better?"

Seeing this, Hao Xie explained to Lao Xu the difference between a dead person and a corpse. Zhang Hao then added:
"According to the time calculation, Tiezhu has not yet arrived at Yin City."

“There is still hope for treatment.”

“It’s just that the process will be a little troublesome.”

When Lao Xu heard that there was still hope, he nodded quickly and said anxiously:

"No trouble, no trouble. As long as you can save my son, I will do anything!"

"Master, please have mercy on me and save him, even if it costs me my life!"

Zhang Hao waved his hand and continued:
"Tiezhu is now missing one of his three souls and seven spirits."

"If nothing unexpected happens, they should have headed towards Yin City."

"I will inform the little devil in Yin City to refuse to hand out joker cards when he arrives."

"But he needs to stay in Yin City for a year."

"The roads in the underworld are different from those in the world of the living. He might not be able to find his way back."

"So, someone needs to bring his soul back."

"The method is very simple. You just need to prepare an old hen, hang the birth date on an iron pole around its neck, and wait at the crossroads before noon tomorrow."

"When the rooster crows three times, you will carry the rooster home. No matter what happens along the way, you must not look back or stop."

“When you get home, put the chicken next to the iron pillar.”

After saying that, Zhang Hao looked at Tie Zhu again:

"One day for us is equivalent to one year for Yinshi."

"I'll have Xiao Gui tell Tie Zhu that a chicken will come to pick him up at this time next year."

"As long as he rushes to the hen after it crows three times, his soul will follow the old hen back." "Similarly, he cannot look back or stop."

"Because not only do we know that his spirit will come back, but the yellow-skinned creature also knows it, and it will definitely try to interfere with you."

"Now we don't know the location of the yellow fox, so it's difficult to deal with it. Once it succeeds in interfering with you, Tiezhu won't be able to come back."

"Lao Xu, you are over 40 years old. I believe you can resist temptation."

"As for the iron pillar, it depends on his own will."

Old Xu kept Zhang Hao's words in mind, but when he thought of the yellow-skinned man's interference, he became worried about Tiezhu and asked quickly:
"Master, what if Tiezhu is really seduced by the yellow-skinned man?"

Zhang Hao shook his head: "That can only be said to be his fate, it cannot be reversed."

"Okay, don't think too much, just get ready."

"It would be great if we could find the location of the yellow fox. It should be not far from here."

"At least it must have been nearby when the iron pillar had an accident."

After hearing this, Lao Xu quickly turned to Tiezhu's mother and asked, "Mother of Tiezhu, where did you find Tiezhu?"

Tie Zhu Niang answered anxiously and thoughtfully, "Beside the Xiaohuang Creek outside the village."

"I only knew where the iron pillar was from what Old Wang said when he came back from chopping wood."

Zhang Hao nodded and said to Lao Xu, "If nothing unexpected happens, the yellow fox should be active in that area."

"But this beast is cunning, and he may have deliberately gone somewhere else to harm your child."

"Whether it's nearby or not, it's best to go look for it."

"Take the yellow dog with you when you look for it. The yellow-skinned dog is most afraid of this thing."

In order to prevent Tiezhu from causing trouble when he returns, Lao Xu decided to get rid of the yellow-skinned man first. He knelt in front of Zhang Hao, kowtowed several times, and shouted:

"Master! You are truly my benefactor!"

Late at night, the village was different from usual. Many people walked out of their homes with flashlights, seemingly looking for something. The procession was quite spectacular. After hearing about what happened to the Xu family, although some people talked about it privately, the families with children in the village were worried that something similar would happen to them. Therefore, this time the search for the yellow fox was organized with almost no effort.

However, no trace of the yellow fox was found during the search, not even a shadow. Firstly, the yellow fox is very cunning, and secondly, the team was too noisy, as if they were afraid that the yellow fox didn't know their purpose. Therefore, the villagers still have nothing to show for it.

"Hey, is the immortal that Lao Xu found really that powerful? I feel like it's a little...how should I put it, too mysterious!"

"All immortals are like this. When I was a child, my neighbor Mr. Zhang also had a serious illness. At that time, he had no money to go to the hospital, so he could only consult a local doctor, but he was not cured. In the end, I asked the immortal to cure him."

"Can the Immortal cure diseases?"

"The immortals don't cure diseases, they exorcise evil spirits. Some people may seem crazy, but in fact they may be possessed by evil spirits."

"Is this really possible?"

"Of course, Lao Zhang was just contaminated by something, and the immortal performed a ritual to make him better. Look at him now, he can still drink two taels of wine every day!"

"Is this immortal so powerful?"

"I heard that he is a Taoist disciple of Mount Mao, but he is an outer disciple and cannot be considered orthodox. But in our village, he has a high prestige!"

"Who is this immortal who came this time? He looks less than 30 years old. What abilities can he have?"

The villagers were talking about it, and Lao Xu felt unhappy and frowned.

After all, Zhang Hao saved his son's life, although according to Zhang Hao, his son was not fully alive yet. But in Lao Xu's opinion, if Zhang Hao hadn't acted in time, Tie Zhu would have suffocated to death. He turned around and glanced at everyone, reminding:
"This gentleman is a man of great ability. I advise you to be careful when you talk about him behind his back."

"And that little girl also said that this master is not an immortal, but a Yin-Yang master who specializes in dealing with the dead."

"Even the ghosts in the underworld have to be respectful when they see him. Do you think he is very powerful?"

As soon as Lao Xu finished speaking, the surrounding villagers burst into laughter. They looked at Lao Xu and continued:
"Old Xu, aren't you exaggerating a bit?"

"You want to be respectful to the little ghosts in the underworld? You didn't see it, so how can you believe it?"

"Maybe it's just an exaggeration, Lao Xu, you better see it for yourself."

Old Xu blushed slightly, thinking that when he first heard Huo Xiuer talk about the Yin-Yang Master, he didn't quite believe it.

The things Huo Xiuer told were not shocking news to the Yin Yang Inn or the leaders of the six major sects. However, to the villagers who lived in the village all day long, they were nothing short of a fairy tale.

Although the villagers believed in the existence of ghosts and gods, they found it hard to believe that someone could make even the ghosts and gods feel fear.

Therefore, Lao Xu couldn't help but have a trace of doubt in his heart. After all, he had never seen such strange people and things with his own eyes.

However, when others mentioned Zhang Hao, he couldn't help but stand up and say a few words for him.

"I don't care whether you believe me or not, but I know that this Yin-Yang Master once saved my family's iron pillar." Old Xu said firmly, "He saved my family's iron pillar, so it's not an exaggeration for me to call him a god."

"Besides, if you really didn't believe it, why would you be willing to come with me to look for that yellow-skinned guy?" Old Xu looked around and continued, "I am very grateful for your help, but I also hope that you can respect Mr. Yin Yang."

Upon hearing this, the villagers exchanged glances with a hint of embarrassment on their faces, then smiled at each other and continued their discussion.

"We don't really mean anything. We just haven't seen such a great person before, so it's hard to believe."

"But having said that, it is an indisputable fact that this Yin-Yang master did save Tiezhu. We all witnessed with our own eyes when Tiezhu's mother held him. Tiezhu's face had turned black. If it had been a few minutes later, he would probably have been beyond saving."

"Yes, this Yin-Yang master is indeed extraordinary!" the villagers echoed.

Although most people are skeptical, some people still question: "By the way, was there really no one who saw Tiezhu drowning? Could it be that these people did something wrong and then rescued Tiezhu, making us mistakenly think they are powerful?"

"In this way, they can easily gain our trust and then cheat us of our money." As soon as these words were spoken, they immediately aroused discussion among the villagers.

When Old Xu heard this, his face changed slightly. He was about to open his mouth to refute, but the village chief stepped out to smooth things over, saying, "Okay, everyone, stop arguing. A stranger has come to the village, so we should be more cautious. But we can't look at people with tinted glasses. After all, the appearance of these people has really helped Old Xu's family a lot so far."

Old Xu glanced at the village chief, his eyes revealing a hint of dissatisfaction: "If you want to gossip, don't stand in front of my house and say it. I am still counting on this Yin-Yang Master to save my son! I finally asked him for help, and I can't let you ruin it."

"If my son's treatment is delayed because of you, no one will have a good life then!" After saying this, Lao Xu became displeased because someone questioned Zhang Hao. He turned away and walked down a small path alone, snorting coldly, "If you want to look for him, keep looking. If you don't want to look for him, go back. I'll go find the yellow-skinned guy myself!"

When the people behind him saw Lao Xu leaving, they all widened their eyes and shouted, "Hey, what's your attitude? Is what I said impossible? Besides, everyone came out to look for the yellow-skinned guy because of you, Lao Xu. Otherwise, who would want to offend that yellow-skinned guy!"

"Really? It's as if we are willing to go through all this trouble. I don't care. I want to go home!" As Lao Xu left, many people also went back home, but some people still insisted on staying and continuing to look for the yellow fox. (End of this chapter)
