Zhang Qilin pulled off the magic talisman from his leg, threw it to Fatty Wang and said lightly: "I came from Nanjiang City."
Fatty Wang looked at Zhang Qilin with wide eyes and said in shock: "What? Did you come here? It's at least three hundred kilometers from Nanjiang City! Aren't you afraid that your leg will be broken?"
Zhang Qilin ignored Fatty Wang and just followed him to the village chief's house.
As soon as he entered the door, he suddenly stopped and frowned as he looked at the village chief's warehouse.
"What a powerful evil spirit!" he said.
There is a charm left by Zhang Hao on the door of the warehouse. The handwriting should have been drawn by Zhang Hao himself.
Zhang Qilin guessed that the corpse he wanted to drive away should be in this warehouse.
Fatty Wang followed Zhang Qilin's gaze, nodded and said, "Well, the ones locked in this warehouse are the Ten Corpses. The shopkeeper fished them out for them, but a lot of things were wasted. Let's go, now the village The chief is probably still sleeping, and there is no other room in his house, so just sleep in the same room with me for now! It’s time to rest after walking so far.”
After speaking, Fatty Wang walked to the door of his room and opened the door. Zhang Qilin nodded slightly and walked into the room.
He asked: "Did the shopkeeper give you any instructions? About these ten corpses?"
Fatty Wang thought for a moment and said, "Don't tell me yet. Brother Zhang Hao really left you a message, but it's not about the Ten Corpses."
Zhang Qilin frowned and looked at Fatty Wang doubtfully.
Fatty Wang continued: "Brother Zhang Hao said that he wants you to rest in Sanjiashan Village for a few days before leaving, and then pay attention to whether there are any strange people appearing in Sanjiashan Village recently. If there are any, don't go out of your way to inquire, just pay attention. Just don’t let anyone find out.”
"Weird people?" Zhang Qilin asked doubtfully, "The most difficult thing to understand here is how to define strange."
So he asked Fatty Wang to tell him what happened in Sanjiashan in the past few days.
Fatty Wang became serious for a moment, looked at Zhang Qilin and nodded, and then started talking from the time he first returned to Yin Yang Inn, and continued talking until dawn.
"You didn't know that Zhang Hao was so awesome at that time. He summoned the Black and White Impermanence, you know? That was the Black and White Impermanence! The top ten shady men in the underworld were scared to death when they saw it!" Fatty Wang was excited. said.
I thought Zhang Qilin would be surprised, but unexpectedly he was calm as if he already knew.
He glanced at Fatty Wang lightly and said, "Impermanence in black and white? I've seen it just now."
Fatty Wang looked at Zhang Qilin in confusion, thinking he was joking.
After a while, he said: "No? What did you say? Did you see black and white impermanence just now? Are you kidding me?"
Zhang Qilin did not explain, but simply said: "On the way here, I met some Yin soldiers who were passing by, and one of them happened to recognize me. I used the fourth-grade Zhengqin official position given to me by the shopkeeper to scare that Yin soldier. , and the result was that he mistook me for the shopkeeper!”
After hearing this, Fatty Wang was shocked and felt his scalp numb.
They often heard some legends when they fought upside down in the past.
If you bump into a Yin soldier taking advantage of the passage, it's basically hopeless. If you're lucky, you can pretend you can't see it and slip away. If you're unlucky, the Yin soldier will see you and take you directly to the underworld.
But Zhang Qilin was even more ruthless. Not only did he encounter evil, but he also encountered black and white.
"Then how did you escape?" Fatty Wang asked nervously, "Since your fourth-grade Zhengqin official position was given to you by Brother Zhang Hao, then Black and White Wuchang has met Brother Zhang Hao and met him. Shouldn’t it be impossible to recognize the Zhengqin official seal?”
Zhang Qilin shook his head and then said: "They probably have never seen the real fourth-grade Zhengqin official seal, so they can't tell the difference."
Then he looked at Fatty Wang and continued to ask, "Let's talk about the Ten Corpses. The shopkeeper asked me to pay attention to strange people. I guess he wanted to find the warlock who arranged the Feng Shui pattern of the Ten Corpses, right? Have you seen anything these days? Did you see any strange people?”
Fatty Wang shook his head and thought to himself, it felt pretty good to be worshiped like a great god in the village these days, and he never noticed any strange people at all.
Moreover, part of the archaeological team has also withdrawn, leaving only Chen Wenjin and his team here. There are no strangers in the village at all.
He said: "There really isn't one. Although I didn't look for it seriously, I heard from people in the village that no outsiders have come here in the past few days."
Then, he changed the topic, "Hey, when do you plan to drive the corpse back to the inn?"
Zhang Qilin touched the ancient black gold sword in his hand, then placed it on the table and said in a deep voice: "The shopkeeper asked me to drive the corpse back to the inn in three days."
Fatty Wang narrowed his eyes with confusion on his face.
He thought to himself, Brother Zhang Hao didn't tell him when Zhang Qilin would leave? How did Zhang Qilin know?
So he asked: "How do you know that Brother Zhang Hao asked you to drive the corpse back to the inn in three days? I remember I didn't tell you about this just now?"
Zhang Qilin pointed in the direction of the village chief's warehouse and explained: "The charm left by the shopkeeper on the door will lose its effectiveness in three days. With his magical power, it is impossible for a charm to be effective only for a few days."< br>
Fatty Wang suddenly understood and nodded, and then said in surprise: "That's right! So, the reason why Zhang Hao drew a charm that was only effective for one week on the door was to tell you when to set off? I'll go, between you two Are all communications so mysterious? ”
Zhang Qilin walked to the bed, took off his shoes and got on the bed, and said calmly: "The shopkeeper is a smart person, and smart people don't need to talk too much."
Fatty Wang scratched his head and felt that Brother Zhang was right.
At this moment, he suddenly remembered something, slapped his forehead and shouted: "I suddenly remembered something. Miss Chen from the archaeological team came to us and said that she was leaving. She invited us to have a meal to say goodbye, little brother. Do you want to go there together? ”
At the same time, Zhang Hao has returned to Yin Yang Inn.
It was still dark when he came back, and the dogs and chickens in the village were still sleeping.
However, Zhang Hao did not feel sleepy, but looked at his yard excitedly.
He stood next to the Grand Master's chair in the middle of the yard, smiled and whispered softly: "Yin Yang Inn, I'm back!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the system's voice came in his mind: "Ding, the system has detected that the host has returned to Yin Yang Inn! It has been detected that the host has an opportunity to upgrade the inn. Should the host upgrade the inn now?"
Zhang Hao glanced at Hao Xie's room and saw that he was not awake yet, so he nodded and said: "Well, upgrade now."
Then, the voice of the system continued to come from his mind: "Ding, the host can choose to upgrade the morgue, bedroom, well, guest room, and warehouse this time!"
Zhang Hao frowned and then looked in the direction of the morgue.
He had been thinking about upgrading the morgue before, but now he suddenly had other ideas.
Last time, he obtained a piece of great karma magic that could charge the client's lifespan and luck, which meant that his Yin Yang Inn could change its charging model in the future. Compared with the monetary reward of the client, life span and luck are more valuable things.
However, despite having the skills to collect life span and luck, there is no place to store these things.
This is a very troublesome thing, because these things are intangible, colorless, invisible and intangible. If there is no place to keep them, they will quickly dissipate.
In ancient times, all those who were able to collect these things as rewards had their own storage items.
This kind of storage object is quite special and belongs to the underworld. The larger the capacity, the more precious it is.
But this time Zhang Hao learned wisely. Although he was very satisfied with the results of upgrading the inn last time, he didn't know what the effect of upgrading other parts would be.
So he asked: "What would happen if the morgue was upgraded?"
The system replied: "Ding, if the host upgrades the morgue, he will get the coffin upgrade reward and the primary coffin guarding formation in the morgue!"
Zhang Hao asked again: "What about upgrading the Grand Master's chair?"
The system replied: "Ding, if the host upgrades the Grand Master's Chair, the number one evil object in Fengmen Village, it will increase the chance of ghosts visiting!"
Zhang Hao then asked: "What about upgrading the water well? What is the use of upgrading this thing?"
The system replied: "Ding, if the host upgrades the well, the well can be connected to the Styx River, and the well itself will trigger the storage function. Use the water of the Styx River to store the lifespan, luck, yin virtue, and yin age obtained from the inn!"
< br>
The corners of Zhang Hao's mouth raised slightly, and he was overjoyed.
He happened to be worried that there was no place to store these things, but the system told him that the inn had a storage function, but he had not upgraded it yet.
In this case, it would not be good to look at other options. So Zhang Hao nodded and said: "Then upgrade the well."
The system responded: "Ding, the water well is being upgraded..."
Zhang Hao was not in a hurry to return to his room at this time, but stood in the yard and looked at the well quietly.
At this time, the bulging green bricks of the well suddenly turned into yin and yang fish carved from blue and gray jade, with vivid eyes and vivid carvings.
One green and one gray jade represents yin and yang, and the yin and yang fish carved out of blue jade has an eerie and eerie feel.
Zhang Hao stood by the well and looked down, and saw that the well water was actually a deep green under the rich night sky, quite a bit like the water of the Styx under the Naihe Bridge.
He murmured to himself: "The system said that the water from this well leads directly to the underworld... Could it be that the water here is the water of the Styx?"
After shaking his head slightly, Zhang Hao touched the yin-yang fish beside the well with satisfaction and said with a smile: "I don't care if it is Styx water! As long as it can store the life span and luck collected from the order, it is enough."
After finishing speaking, Zhang Hao glanced at the human skin lantern at the door of the inn.
at this time. There was also a pale light coming from the lantern.
After a while, he withdrew his gaze and thought of Hei Wuchang and Bai Wuchang he saw two days ago, and murmured: "I wonder if I can go directly to Hades if I go down from this well? If the inn wants to expand further, it must You need a real Zhengqin official position! It’s not an option to keep relying on talismans.”
Legend has it that in ancient times, the Yin Yang Inn was also divided into levels.
For example, Mr. Yin Yang who opened the Yin Yang Inn, if there is no seal from the underworld, then his inn will at most help people drive away corpses, retrieve corpses, drive away evil spirits, and deal with some feng shui issues, just like Zhang Hao's current Yin Yang Inn.
But if there is a seal granted by Hades, then the level of Yin Yang Inn will go up directly, and it can continue to develop and grow!
A first-level Yin Yang Inn, just like the one Zhang Hao is running now, is the lowest level of existence.
As for the second-level Yin and Yang Inn, it needs to have the fifth-grade Zhengqin official seal granted by the Hades. Only such an inn can truly realize the connection between Yin and Yang, accept the entrustment of the Yin Souls legitimately, and be recognized by the Hades.
The third-level Yin and Yang Inn requires Mr. Yin and Yang to worship the Fourth Rank Zhengqin. At that time, a ghost market can be opened near the inn. The Yin and Yang worlds can exchange their goods here, and dead souls can be traded freely. The Yin and Yang Inn will reap the profits and extract the profits from all transactions. remuneration.
For a fourth-level Yin-Yang Inn, Mr. Yin-Yang must reach the level of a third-grade Zhengqin, and there must be a second-level gentleman in charge of the hotel.
Such an inn has the ability to develop a ghost town into a ghost town, a ghost town entirely under its own control.
For a fifth-level Yin-Yang Inn, Mr. Yin-Yang must be a second-grade Zhengqin.
However, few people know how far a fifth-level inn can be built and developed, because too few people have reached this level since ancient times.
For a sixth-level Yin Yang Inn, Mr. Yin Yang must be of the highest rank.
It is said that at such a level, even the King of Hell would bow to him when he saw him, and he could even have a drink and talk with Emperor Fengdu. Everyone who came to and from the inn was regarded as a god in this place.
However, few people have been able to achieve this level throughout the ages, and its authenticity is also highly controversial.
According to legend, there is another level beyond the first-level Zhengqin, which is the seventh level Yin Yang Inn.
However, this level of Yin Yang Inn has never been reached since ancient times. It only exists in legends, so it is regarded as an unknown territory.
"These are still a bit far away, so let's find a way to upgrade the inn to level two first."
Zhang Hao pushed open the door, placed the peach wood and purple gold treasure box presented by the Water Dragon King on the table, and whispered to himself.
"If you want to expand the scale of Yin Yang Inn, just relying on forged spells is not a long-term solution. You have to find a way to get the seal from the underworld and get a real official position. This is one aspect." He said thoughtfully.
"On the other hand, it is urgent to expand the scale of the inn. Even if we want to upgrade the inn to the point where we can open a ghost market in the future, the four of us now are not enough."
"So, the manpower issue of Yin Yang Inn must also be taken into consideration in the future." He touched his chin, narrowed his eyes slightly and thought for a long time before saying softly.
"Last time Zhang Qilin left, his eyebrows were black, and he had seen evil spirits. Presumably this time the corpse exorcism will have some contact with the underworld."
"Two days ago, I pretended to be a fourth-grade Zhengqin and saw black and white impermanence."
"I wonder if Hades has noticed us..." he muttered to himself.
Early the next morning, Hao Xie got up from the bed, rubbing his sleepy eyes, holding the washbasin and preparing to walk out of the room to fetch water to wash his face.
Although this kind of life is not as convenient as in the city, he feels contented and comfortable. (End of chapter)
