He shook his head, decided not to delve deeper, and walked into the inn.
"I'm back," he shouted.
At this time, Fatty Wang was meditating by the well in the courtyard of the inn.
Hearing Zhang Qilin's voice, he turned his head suddenly, his eyes full of surprise.
He hurriedly ran to Zhang Qilin, looked left and right, and asked with concern: "Brother Qilin, are you okay along the way? I heard that you encountered another evil situation in Tanzhou, and there seems to be quite a few. You can come out of it, what a benefit!”
Zhang Qilin glanced at Fatty Wang indifferently, and then said: "The shopkeeper's magic is very powerful. Without him, I would have been taken away this time. However, I heard from the shopkeeper that my longevity card kept shaking after that. It seems that there is a strong crisis lurking around.”
When Fatty Wang heard this, he still looked unbelievable: "You're okay! What's going on with that strong sense of crisis? Is it because you feel like there's someone following you all the time?"
Zhang Qilin nodded. He did always feel that there was someone beside him along the way, but he never found out where that person was.
Could it be that this is the crisis the shopkeeper is talking about? The person he couldn't see showed how powerful this person was.
He turned to look at Fatty Wang and asked, "Where is Hao Xie?"
Fatty Wang shook his head, "She should still be on the way. When the shopkeeper called him, he was still waiting for you in Tanzhou, so he came back later. He should be there tonight or tomorrow morning, right?"
Zhang Qilin nodded slightly, but the pagoda tree in Tanzhou suddenly appeared in his mind.
He has obviously never been to Tanzhou all year round, how could he remember that there is such a locust tree in Tanzhou?
Could it be that he really has something to do with Jiumen?
He asked Fatty Wang again: "Where's the shopkeeper?"
Fatty Wang pointed to Zhang Hao's room, and then said: "Still in the room, I have been there for a day, I don't know what I am doing."
Zhang Qilin did not respond, but walked to the door of Zhang Hao's room, knocked on the door, and then said: "Sir, I'm back."
After a while, Zhang Hao's voice came from the room: "Okay, wait for me in the yard, I will go out in a while."
At this time, Zhang Hao was carving on a piece of ancient jade with a knife in his room, and what he carved happened to be the official rank of the Fourth Grade Zhengqin.
At this time, the charm has been carved, and the final step is left to attract the spirit.
However, as soon as he put down the carving knife in his hand, the system's voice came from his mind.
[Ding, congratulations to the host, you have completed the hidden mission set out by the system, sending corpses from the Nine Gates! 】
[Ding, congratulations to the host, you have received fifty thousand taels of silver! 】
[Ding, congratulations to the host, you have obtained the underworld weapon, the soul-suppressing tower! 】
[Ding, congratulations to the host, you have obtained some inn upgrade rights! 】
[Warm reminder, only when all the inns have been upgraded to the intermediate level and have obtained the seal of Hades, can you apply for the permission to open the second-level Yin and Yang Inn! 】
Zhang Hao looked at the soul-suppressing tower in his hand and couldn't help but raise the corners of his eyes slightly.
With this thing, it will be easier to deal with ghosts.
He stood up and walked outside, wondering what upgrades he would make to 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.
"The shopkeeper!" Zhang Qilin shouted.
Zhang Hao looked at Zhang Qilin, looked up and down and asked: "Are you okay?"
Zhang Qilin nodded, "But it was strange when I came back. I always felt like something was following me, but then it disappeared again when I turned around."
Zhang Hao frowned slightly, feeling uncertain in his heart.
He said calmly: "Okay, just come back safely. The only problem is that Hao Xie hasn't come back yet. I don't know where he is."
As soon as he finished speaking, suddenly, the mist outside the courtyard wall of Yin Yang Inn was suddenly blown away by a gust of wind.
There seemed to be countless pairs of eyes staring at Yin Yang Inn in the dark night.
Fatty Wang and Zhang Qilin only felt that the invisible gaze made their hearts feel cold, and there was a sense of depression in the air.
Zhang Hao looked at the door of the inn. At this time, the human skin lantern on the door of the inn was swaying, and the pale light drew large and small circles on the ground.
Vaguely, a black shadow flashed past the door. Zhang Hao's face suddenly became serious, he frowned and said coldly: "The ghost is coming!"
Just as Zhang Hao finished speaking, he heard footsteps coming from outside the door.
"Tap tap tap tap..." Several people looked at the door in confusion, with a string in their hearts.
However, a few seconds later, a shadow appeared at the door. After a closer look, it was Hao Xie!
Fatty Wang looked puzzled: "Where's the promised ghost?"
After Hao Xie heard Zhang Hao's call, he 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 blankly at Zhang Hao and the others in the yard, because they were also looking at him with puzzled faces.
"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, took a look at Hao Xie and asked, "Just got off the plane?"
Hao Xie nodded, and then said: "You said you wanted me to come back as quickly as possible, so I booked the nearest ticket and flew back. I took a taxi directly after getting off the car."
"I'll go, it'll cost a few hundred yuan to take a taxi, brother!" Fatty Wang curled his lips and said, feeling a little sorry for Hao Xie's lavish 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 become a little dim.
Hao Xie shook his head and looked puzzled: "When you came back? Nothing happened. Oh, it seems that the fog around the inn was a bit heavy today? I didn't feel anything else."
Zhang Hao looked Hao Xie up and down and nodded: "Okay, it's fine. Just put down your luggage and have a good rest."
At this time, Zhang Qilin came over and looked at the door with taboo eyes, and couldn't help but ask: "Shopkeeper, what if the ghost comes in? Do we have any way to deal with it?"
Hearing that a ghost messenger was coming, Hao Xie couldn't help but froze for a moment, looked at Zhang Hao and asked quickly: "Ghost messenger? Did something happen at the inn?" "I'll explain this to you later." Zhang Hao shook his head slightly, his eyes revealing With a hint of coldness, he said in a cold voice, "Our Yin Yang Inn doesn't mean that others can come and leave whenever they want. Even if a ghost wants to enter my Yin Yang Inn, he has to think carefully!"
After saying that, Zhang Hao turned around and prepared to walk back to his room, then patted Zhang Qilin on the shoulder and said...
"Come with me, it seems that part of your soul is still in the old locust tree in Tanzhou. I have to help you bring it back." Zhang Qilin narrowed his eyes slightly, and although he was a little confused, he still nodded in agreement.
"Okay."
"By the way, shopkeeper, when I was in Tanzhou, I acted according to your instructions. Why did those undercover people seem to be unable to 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 tablet and candle. Don't worry, this candle will usually not go out. Yes. And you are already in the inn, it doesn’t matter if the candle goes out.”
Zhang Qilin nodded in agreement and then walked to 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 yellow talisman paper, and only half of the word 'Zhang' could be vaguely seen.
After Zhang Qilin handed the longevity card to Zhang Hao, he pointed to the charm on it and explained: "This charm is called the puppet charm. It is made of blood, powder made from locust branches, and juice mixed with cinnabar. If you yourself Operation, you can stick it on other living creatures, such as chickens, dogs, cows, and sheep. In this way, the ghosts will no longer see you, but the things you stick to, because in their eyes, what you stick to The thing has become what you are.”
"But the situation that night was special, and 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 on the old locust tree, and then I would indirectly help you change the day and make the old locust tree a perfect one.
Coupled with the power emanating from the fourth-grade Zhengqin official seal you carried, those undercover people did not immediately see through you.
After all, the pressure exuded by the fourth-grade Zhengqin official seal is not something that ordinary Yinzai can withstand. "Zhang Hao explained in detail.
Zhang Qilin was fascinated by what he heard, and a trace of desire flashed in his eyes. 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 Immortality Card: "These are just trivial skills, meaningless. But if you want to learn, I can teach you. You are also good at drawing talismans now. It won't cost you much to learn this." Time. But you have to remember that drawing talismans only assists you in driving away corpses. What you really need to study continuously is driving away 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 cold, making people feel chilly in their hearts.
"Let me summon your soul first. Get a glass of well water and put a drop of your blood in the well water." Zhang Hao ordered.
Zhang Qilin walked to the well, fetched a bucket of well water, bit his finger and dropped a drop of blood into the bowl.
Then, Zhang Hao put down Zhang Qilin's longevity card, held the torn-off puppet talisman between his fingers, took Zhang Qilin's bowl, and silently recited the incantation: "The laws of heaven are clear, the laws of earth are spiritual. Take in the aura of heaven and earth, and bind the spirit to it." Invisible! The soul returns! ”
As soon as he finished speaking, a puff of white smoke suddenly appeared from the talisman in his hand, and then the yellow talisman burned.
Seeing this scene, Fatty Wang, Hao Xie and Zhang Qilin looked at each other, secretly shocked by Zhang Hao's attainment of magic.
After the talisman paper burned, Zhang Hao put the paper ashes into the water bowl and shook it slightly. The paper ashes merged directly into the water without any turbidity.
Then he handed the water bowl to Zhang Qilin: "Okay, drink it. Then don't leave the inn for the next seven days. In the early morning of seven days later, when the first dog barks in the village, you stand in the yard and wait. That’s it.”
Zhang Qilin nodded silently, and the scene in his mind when they saw the villagers drawing souls at the ferry in Sanjia Mountain appeared in his mind.
This time he should be able to find his soul on his own, at least he won't be escorted back by some evil deed!
After all, there are people outside the inn looking for Zhang Qilin.
If he really caught his ghost, it would be impossible for him to come back smoothly.
Zhang Qilin was full of confidence in Zhang Hao: "Yes, I understand."
As soon as he finished speaking, a dark wind suddenly blew in the yard.
Everyone looked back suddenly because the wind was blowing in from the courtyard gate.
As soon as they turned around, they saw the white light emitted by 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 before.
At that time, when Zhang Hao was using the fourth-grade Zhengqin official position in the inn, the morgue seemed to be looming like an ancient yamen, and the inn was flashing with this faint green light.
At this time, this kind of light appeared again, and several people couldn't help but silently thought: Has the ghost that Zhang Hao mentioned finally arrived?
Zhang Hao snorted coldly, took two steps forward and sat down next to the Grand Master's chair, 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.
In this already scary night, people in the inn felt nervous when they saw these two lamps swaying even without wind.
"Shopkeeper? That ghost...is he here?"
Fatty Wang swallowed dryly and looked at the door with great fear.
Although nothing could be seen at the door and no figure appeared, Fatty Wang felt that a black shadow would suddenly appear there in the next second.
The more I think about it, the more scared I feel.
Zhang Hao ignored Fatty Wang, looked at the door and said calmly: "Don't play with my lamp, you can't afford to pay if it breaks."
Zhang Qilin, Hao Xie, and Fatty Wang looked around with wide eyes. They didn't know who Zhang Hao was talking to. There was obviously no one in front of them, not even a shadow.
Could it be that the ghost has arrived?
The next moment as he finished speaking, a shadow actually appeared at the door.
The shadow is wearing a black robe, very loose, windless and majestic.
He is also very tall, about 1.8 meters tall. His figure is hard to tell, but he can tell from the robe that he is not very fat.
Black Yin Qi emerged from the gaps in the robe, and the face under the cloak could not be seen clearly, but this ghost's eyes were very unique, shining like a cat's eyes in the dark night.
"Hmph!"
Xuying snorted coldly, stood outside the door and glanced inside the inn, and said coldly, "Who do I think I am? I dare to pretend to be a fourth-grade Zhengqin! I wasted my whole day!"
Xuying took another look at the entrance and courtyard wall of the inn, and couldn't help but shook his head slightly and said: "Nowadays, the ancient trade in the Yang world is almost extinct, and the Yin and Yang Inn has been cut off for a long time. But I didn't expect to see the last Yin and Yang Inn in the Yin and Yang worlds here today! It's a bit. Meaning...but...how dare you call yourself a shabby place like Yin Yang Inn? Are you the only ones worthy of stepping into Yin Yang?"
Hearing the sound, Zhang Qilin, Hao Xie, and Fatty Wang all looked at the shadow in shock, unable to believe that this ghost actually showed up. (End of chapter)
