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

Seeing that his father finally listened to him, Tiezhu breathed a sigh of relief. However, the next sentence from Lao Xu made Tiezhu nervous again.

Another flash of lightning streaked across the night sky. After the deafening thunder, Lao Xu pointed in the direction of Fengmen Village and said, "Tiezhu, can you see something that you can't normally see?"

"To tell you the truth, Dad seems to be able to see it now."

"So I know what you are worried about." Lao Xu said lightly, "Is this what you are talking about?" After that, he pointed to the phantoms above Fengmen Village.

Following Lao Xu's finger, Tiezhu realized that he had been walking with his head down and had not noticed that Fengmen Village had become so gloomy and terrifying without him noticing.

Everything seemed fine just now, but after just walking a few steps, many shadows appeared in the sky above Fengmen Village, some in human form, some in animal form, and some in monster form.

The shadows of humans and animals were easy to understand, and Tiezhu had seen quite a few of them in Yin City.

But this was the first time I had seen the phantoms of these monsters. These monsters also existed in the form of phantoms, but they were all wearing black armor and holding weapons such as swords, spears, axes, and halberds.

The monsters are much larger than humans. Compared with those humanoid phantoms, these monsters are at least three or four times larger.

Tiezhu didn't know why Lao Xu could see these phantoms, and he was secretly wondering: If an ordinary person saw this, he would probably be scared to death, right? He still remembered the extreme fear he felt when he first came to the Yin City and found that there were ghosts all around him. But why was Lao Xu so calm? Was he pretending? Or had he seen it before?
Tiezhu was full of doubts, but he nodded and said, "These phantoms look so familiar, they don't seem to be ordinary ghosts..." He looked at the human-shaped phantoms carefully, and suddenly remembered that they were dressed exactly like the ghost soldiers at the gate of Yin City. Could it be that these were all ghost soldiers?

Thinking of the other identity of this Yin-Yang Master, Tiezhu suddenly felt a little scared. He secretly wondered: Could it be that this Yin-Yang Master moved all the things in the Yin Market to his home? Otherwise, why are there so many ghosts and Yin messengers in this village?
"Dad, these shadows look like the ghost messengers we saw in the ghost market."

Tiezhu suddenly turned his head to look at Lao Xu and asked nervously, "How about... we come back during the day?"

He originally thought that Lao Xu would have some reservations and take him back and come back tomorrow daytime.

However, Lao Xu turned his head and looked at him and said, "You little brat! Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. I told you, I'm only giving you three days off. One day to come here, one day to go to Yin Yang Inn, and one day to go back. Don't take this opportunity to skip classes! Children of your age should still focus on their studies."

Tiezhu was speechless for a moment. It turned out that his father was worried that he didn't want to go to school.

Before the incident with the yellow fox, Tiezhu might not have had much interest in going to school. But on the day he returned to life, he saw the erotic scene of the village beauty. If he had been given one more second, he would have seen what he wanted to see.

Unfortunately, those were all the tricks of wandering spirits. But it was also because of this that Tiezhu now looked forward to going to school every day, hoping that he could grow up quickly, and then figure out how to pursue the village beauty. So even if Lao Xu didn't say anything, he would go to school obediently.

However, before going to school, he still had an important thing to do. He remembered what the fortune teller said, that the sooner he got the opportunity, the better. Although the Dragon Luck and the Imperial Qi could not bear too much, they could grow slowly if someone nurtured them. In other words, if he really got the Imperial Qi, then his Imperial Qi could grow on its own.

Thinking of the opportunity that the fortune teller had mentioned, Tiezhu gritted his teeth.

He had even visited the Yin Market and seen tens of thousands of ghosts, so why would he be afraid of these few? So he didn't say anything more.

However, at this moment, Tiezhu and Lao Xu did not know that an earth-shaking event was happening in Fengmen Village today.

In the Yin-Yang Inn, Huo Xiu'er, Wang Pangzi, Hao Xie and Zhang Qilin stood on either side of Zhang Hao. An unknown storm was about to come...

As Zhang Hao sat leisurely, his gaze passed through the threshold of the Yin-Yang Inn and fixed on the sky that was filled with a strange atmosphere.

At this time, outside the inn, a group of messengers from the underworld - Zhao Li, Black and White Impermanence, Ox-Head and Horse-Face, Day and Night Wandering God, as well as a huge number of ghost soldiers and generals, were already lined up and waiting.

Zhao Li, the ghost messenger from the underworld, stood at the outer edge of the Yin Yang Inn's moat. His voice penetrated the fog and was clearly heard inside the inn: "Sir, I am Zhao Li, and I have been ordered to come here to give you the seal. Please put away your magical powers so that the ceremony can proceed."

As the words fell, the thick fog on the moat seemed to be pushed away by an invisible hand, the water surface quickly receded, and a path leading to the inn suddenly appeared, still surrounded by the deep waters of the Styx on both sides.

Seeing the path open, Zhao Li turned around and gestured to his respected colleagues behind him: "My lords, please go first."

After saying that, he also set foot on the path specially opened by Zhang Hao.

The River Styx is a deadly trap for ordinary ghosts, and even for these high-level messengers from the underworld, it is not a place that can be taken lightly.

Seeing Zhao Li taking the first step, the others followed him despite their doubts.

When the group arrived at the inn, it looked completely different from what they remembered a year ago. There was no complicated formation, and no fog blocking the view.

Zhao Li led the ghost messengers and bowed to Zhang Hao respectfully: "Greetings, sir! The Lord of Hell cannot come in person for some reason, so he specially ordered me to come and give the seal. This is the will of heaven. I hope you don't mind."

Zhang Hao slowly stood up and tapped his chin, his eyes flashing with anticipation for the unknown challenge: "I heard that the seal must be passed on to withstand nine thunderbolts. Today, I want to personally experience this legendary thunderbolt power."

Fatty Wang, who was standing by, looked at Zhang Hao with a puzzled look on his face, then moved closer to Hao Xie and asked in a low voice: "Hao Xie, is Brother Zhang Hao too excited? What's so exciting about being struck by lightning? Can being struck by lightning give you super powers like in the movies?"

Hearing this, Hao Xie smiled and patiently explained, "You need to learn more from Brother Zhang Hao and learn more about the Yin and Yang worlds."

"That thunder is not an ordinary thunderbolt. It contains the power of heaven. Once you can withstand it, you will be recognized by the Yin and Yang worlds and even the immortal world, and become a true god."

When Fatty Wang heard this, his eyes widened: "Thunder? Isn't it still being struck by lightning? What's the difference?"

Hao Xie shook his head and pointed to the sky: "This heavenly thunder is completely different from the thunder and lightning in the mortal world. Ordinary thunder and lightning often destroy people in one blow, and they may even die without feeling any pain. But for those of us who practice cultivation, our bodies will become tougher as our cultivation increases, and ordinary thunder and lightning will hardly hurt us. However, the heavenly thunder carries the fire of heavenly realm, which is a test that can cleanse the meridians and reshape the physical body and Dharma body."

Fatty Wang was stunned when he heard this: "Even the Yang Qi has been washed away, how can he still be alive? Not to mention that the Yin Qi has also been washed away, wouldn't he be neither human nor ghost?"

Hao Xie was silent for a moment, thinking to himself: After the thunderbolt, there are only a few survivors. But looking at Zhang Hao's confident look, it seems that he has already made all the preparations. Every time he sees Zhang Hao like this, Hao Xie always feels a little relieved, because he believes that Zhang Hao will not let himself fall into a desperate situation. However, facing the thunderbolt this time, does Zhang Hao really have anything to rely on?

At this time, Zhang Hao looked up at the sky, which was covered with dark clouds and flashing lightning, as if he was in an endless abyss. Zhao Li held the scroll in his hand, but did not unfold it. He stared at Zhang Hao and slowly said, "Sir, although I am in the underworld, I know very little about the affairs of the underworld. My duty is only to ferry wandering souls, and I know very little about the secrets of the underworld. People often say that the underworld is a symbol of the underworld, but I heard that..."

"The underworld is like the heaven. There are thirty-six layers of heaven, and no one knows where the last layer is. The underworld is also profound. Compared with it, the underworld is just a drop in the ocean." Zhao Li continued, "Lord Yama asked me to ask you, are you ready? After you are given the seal, you will face the unknown existence thousands of feet below the underworld."

Zhang Hao frowned slightly when he heard this, but then relaxed. He knew what this step meant. Just as Zhao Li said, there is a cave in the heavens and a ruin in the underworld. It is the final destination of all living things and a forbidden place that no one dares to set foot in easily.

As a being that straddles the worlds of yin and yang, Zhang Hao has a deep understanding of these secrets.

The creatures in Guixu are mysterious existences that are rarely recorded in history books.

He took a deep breath, a wild smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he shouted to the sky: "Haha, wherever the Tao leads, I will go even if there are thousands of people against me! Come on!"

Seeing this, Zhao Li knew that it was useless to say more. He knew very well that Zhang Hao was not an ordinary person and the sky was his stage.

So he suddenly unfolded the scroll in his hand. As the scroll unfolded, a ray of lightning streaked across the sky, illuminating the entire world.

"Imperial decree!" Zhao Li's voice was solemn and dignified. The fifth-rank underworld generals, the ten ghost generals, and thousands of ghost soldiers and ghost generals behind him all knelt on one knee, like ministers welcoming an imperial edict, their eyes full of awe.

This awe is not only respect for the scroll, but also admiration for Zhang Hao, and even more so, awe for the unspeakable power between heaven and earth.

As Zhao Li recited solemnly, the air seemed to freeze.

"Beneath the dark soil, in the abyss of the underworld, I rule the world with culture and quell rebellions with force." His voice was steady and powerful.

"Zhang Hao in the living world has noble character and firm will. Temptation cannot shake his heart. He is truly the cornerstone of the underworld and the shield of the living world."

"He is a man of both civil and military talents. How can his contributions be erased? How can we not reward him with honor?"

"In consideration of his outstanding achievements, Zhang Hao is appointed as the governor of Yin City, a fifth-rank official. He is so powerful that all ghosts in the world of the living must avoid him."

"Generals of the underworld, you must work together to welcome the new king."

"At this moment, crown Zhang Hao!"

"Let the thunder of heaven show his will, let the fire of karma temper his body!"

"The sky is my witness, heaven and earth are my witnesses!"

After the recitation, an unusual silence enveloped the surroundings, and then a whimpering sound that seemed to come from ancient times was heard, and the sand, stones, and grass swayed for no reason, as if all things were wailing.

Fatty Wang, Huo Xiu'er, Hao Xie and Zhang Qilin all felt an inexplicable fear in their hearts at the same time.

Beneath this seemingly calm surface, there are actually undercurrents, as if an unprecedented storm is about to come.

Whether it was the ghosts in the underworld, the living beings in the world of the living, or even the poultry and livestock in the village, they all felt this invisible pressure, as if a huge rock was pressing on their hearts, making it hard to breathe. Even the barking of the dogs in the village stopped abruptly, as if silenced by some mysterious force.

Zhang Hao looked up at the moonless night sky, his eyes gradually becoming solemn. He was familiar with the process of granting the seal, but the scene before him was completely different from what he knew.

Although heavenly thunder and fire were common, such a strange phenomenon was extraordinary. He couldn't help but wonder if there was a mistake in some link, or if the King of Hell was behind it?

However, the King of Hell had paid a great price for this order, so it was unlikely that he would easily interfere. Could it be that... the problem was with me?
Just as he was lost in thought, several huge holes suddenly appeared in the sky. Although they seemed small when viewed from the ground, they were actually vast and boundless, enough to glimpse the sky above the clouds.

"How is this possible?" Zhao Li was also very surprised. He thought that the heavenly thunder and fire would arrive as promised, but he did not expect such a strange phenomenon to appear in the sky. He looked up and saw several bloody cracks in the sky, like wounds.

"Why is the sky splitting?"

"What kind of thunder is this?"

"How could a fifth-grade seal-granting cause such a heavenly calamity?"

The day and night wandering gods behind him also looked at each other in shock. Although they were all fifth-rank Hades generals, they had never seen such a scene. Although there were heavenly thunder and fire in the past, it had never been so exaggerated.

"Is the seal of approval from the Yinshi Governor so important?"

"This Heavenly Thunder and Karmic Fire is almost comparable to a fourth-grade seal."

The Night Wanderer shook his head and said, "I have seen Lord Yama bestow seals before, but I have never seen anything like this."

"Who can withstand such a thunderbolt?"

“Although the Heavenly Thunder and Karma Fire are related to the level of the seal, they are also closely related to the recipient.”

"Zhang Hao is truly a strange man. He could actually bring about such a calamity."

At this time, all the livestock in Fengmen Village were lying on the ground, wailing and trembling all over.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Qilin, Hao Xie, Fatty Wang and Huo Xiuer also hurriedly hid in the morgue.

In the Yin Yang Inn, the morgue is undoubtedly the safest place.

However, even in the morgue, several people still felt tense and had no sense of security at all.

Suddenly, the blood-red cracks in the sky suddenly lit up, and a deafening thunder seemed to explode right next to their ears, making everyone's scalp numb. (End of this chapter)
