Zhang Hao blinked, glanced at Fatty Wang, and then took out a yellowed contract from his sleeve.
The words above are ancient and mysterious.
Fatty Wang took one look at the contract and threw it away because he didn't understand it, but he knew what Zhang Hao meant.
After all, Zhang Hao and Fatty Wang mentioned the origin of this piece of paper before - from now on, the inn's business will be in exchange for the client's life span, luck, age, merit, etc.
Obtaining these is not something you can just talk about.
So there is this "paper of cause and effect".
Only by formally signing the "paper of cause and effect" can the collaboration between the client and the inn be officially launched.
Once the task is successfully completed, the inn will automatically receive the luck and lifespan promised by the client as a reward.
Fatty Wang carefully put away the "paper of cause and effect" handed over by Zhang Hao, then pulled Wang Ye, pointed to the reception room next to him, and said enthusiastically:
"Mr. Wang, please go this way."
"Come with me here to go through the formalities and sign a power of attorney."
"Only when the procedures are complete, we can do our best to serve you."
Wang Ye nodded slightly and followed Fatty Wang into the reception room.
Although the reception room was not luxurious, when Wang Ye sat down and saw the contract that Fatty Wang placed in front of him, he immediately felt the extraordinary nature of this contract.
Although the paper was inconspicuous, the ancient characters engraved on it were extremely complicated, at least he himself could not understand the meaning.
However, at the beginning of the contract, there were two big words that he could clearly identify, which were "karma".
"Well..." Fatty Wang gently shook the "paper of cause and effect" in his hand and explained, "You only need to write down your needs on it, sign your name, and everything will be fine."< br>
Wang Ye nodded in agreement, and then wrote in detail the content of the task entrusted to the inn on the "paper of cause and effect":
[We are now entrusting Yin Yang Inn to go to the ancient battlefield to retrieve the body of the founder of Wudang Mountain, Qingxuan Zhenren, and safely return it to Wudang Mountain. 】
[After the mission is completed, Wudang Mountain will give all Taoist priests one year's energy as a reward and deliver it to Yin Yang Inn. 】
[Client: Wang Ye]
After writing a few short sentences, Fatty Wang looked at it, and then solemnly stamped the seal of Yin Yang Inn under the "paper of cause and effect".
This seal was given by Zhang Hao, so Fatty Wang naturally did not dare to engrave it privately.
What's more, this is not an ordinary seal, but a dark seal, which has the mysterious power to establish a life and death contract, perform the responsibilities of yin and yang, and protect the way of heaven and earth.
Once this chapter is closed, both parties will be tightly connected, and neither party can violate the constraints of the contract.
Fatty Wang examined the "paper of cause and effect" with satisfaction, then nodded and looked at Wang Ye, saying:
"Okay, Mr. Wang!"
"Our deal is officially done!"
Wang Ye smiled and nodded, his eyes falling on the words on "A Paper of Cause and Effect" again.
At this moment, he was surprised to find that the words were gradually disappearing, until the name signed by him also completely disappeared.
At the same time, he felt that there seemed to be an inexplicable power within his body.
After a while, Wang Zhiyi secretly marveled.
This is probably the unique contract power of the inn, right?
Use cause and effect as a matchmaker to conduct transactions.
The Yin Yang Inn really deserves its reputation. Mr. Yin Yang is also an expert, and he can actually use such methods!
How admirable!
Not long after, a system notification sounded in Zhang Hao's mind.
[Ding, congratulations to the host, it has been detected that a new order is being generated...]
[Ding, the order is being generated...]
[Ding, congratulations to the host, the order has been generated, entrusted with the task: to kill the Wudang Patriarch! 】
[Task requirement: Ask the host to go to the ancient battlefield as soon as possible, pick up the corpse of Wudang founder Qingxuan Zhenren, and drive him back to Yin Yang Inn! 】
【bite! ! ! 】
[Hidden mission has been triggered: The host is asked to go to the ancient battlefield as soon as possible, pick up the corpse of the founder of the Sixth Avenue Sect, and drive him back to Yin Yang Inn! 】
[Warm reminder: The six Taoist cultivating sects are the Celestial Master Qingyun Zhenren of Longhu Mountain, Qingxuan Zhenren the leader of Wudang Mountain, Huangxuan Zhenren the founder of Emeishan, Wumei Taoist master of Kunlun Mountain, Honglian Taoist Master of Qingcheng Mountain, and Sanqingshan Sect leader The Taoist priest of Dongxu. 】
Zhang Hao couldn't help but turn his head to look at the reception room in confusion when he heard the system prompt.
This...
Wang Ye really made a big deal for him!
These sects are not the fictional martial arts sects in martial arts novels. It can be said that the martial arts and ancient martial arts in the novels are just children's games in front of them. They are true Taoist practitioners!
These sects are the inheritance and branches of Taoism, and their practice methods are so unique. They possess real magical powers and Taoist skills, and are a gathering place for strange people and strangers.
Nowadays, although these sects are well known, people only know about these famous mountains and rivers, and there is no sense of mystery like before.
After all, every sect is now open to the outside world, with an endless stream of tourists every day, and its popularity remains high.
As for the strength of these sects, they may not be as good as before.
Something like inheritance will always be lost through the changes of history.
But it cannot be said that these sects are not good now, they are just not as strong as before.
However, although the strength of these sects is now weakened, the corpses of those sects in the ancient battlefield are still very powerful.
From Wang Ye's perspective, Zhang Hao felt that Wang Ye's strength was quite good.
The corpses that even he found troublesome showed that these corpses were indeed difficult to handle.
But what Zhang Hao didn't know was that Lin Jiu had also been to that ancient battlefield, and even he couldn't deal with the corpses there.
This shows how powerful the corpses buried in that ancient battlefield were.
Now, although the order mission only requires bringing back the body of the Wudang leader, the hidden mission cannot be ignored.
Based on past experience, the rewards for hidden tasks are usually more generous than those for order tasks.
From the content point of view, this hidden mission is obviously much more complicated than the order mission.
A faint smile appeared on Zhang Hao's lips.
These corpses may be troublesome to others, but to them at Yin Yang Inn and those of them who specialize in dealing with such matters, it is not a big problem.
At this time, Zhang Hao couldn't help but think secretly.
If all the corpses of these six major cultivation sects were placed in their inns and suppressed, then the gold content would not be comparable to that of ordinary sects.
However, the Taoist sect is, after all, a cultivation force in the human world. As long as it does not ascend, it will still be in the stage of hard cultivation in the human world.
The Yin and Yang Inn has transcended the shackles of the Yang world. It has the ability to step into the Yin and Yang and connect to the netherworld, which is beyond the comparison of those mere sects.
"Not bad." Zhang Hao whispered to himself.
At this time, Hao Xie looked at Zhang Hao and asked:
"Shopkeeper, Hades is tracking us so closely now. If we go out to do tasks... isn't it a bit dangerous?"
Although Huo Xiuer on the side also heard the conversation between the two, she looked confused.
Pursued by Hades? What does this mean?
Zhang Hao shook his head and said confidently: "It's okay, don't worry about this."
"It just so happens that the difficulty of this mission is relatively high, and Hades is secretly preparing to move, so this time all the staff of our inn are dispatched."
"I also want to take this opportunity to see how you are progressing now and whether you can complete the entrusted tasks well. Secondly, I am walking with you, so I can take the opportunity to give you some guidance, just like it is a field teaching."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Hao Xie looking at Zhang Hao in shock and asked in disbelief:
"Shopkeeper, do you want to go on a mission with us?"
"This has not happened for a long time!"
"It seems like the last time... we went on a mission together was a long time ago!"
"I didn't expect that we would have the opportunity to go out together to complete the commissioned task..."
"Shopkeeper, it seems that this mission is very important!"
"Except for the first time we exterminated the female corpse from the Republic of China, we have never been on a mission together!"
Hao Xie's face was filled with excitement. After all, if you go on a mission with Zhang Hao, you will definitely gain a lot more than before.
When Zhang Hao took everyone on a mission for the first time, he taught them what exorcism was. If the shopkeeper also goes together this time, he will definitely learn a lot!
And when Zhang Hao is teaching others, he can also listen on the sidelines.
The most special person in the inn now is probably Fatty Wang. Zhang Hao taught him the corpse-retrieving technique alone after he brought him to Sanjia Mountain.
Everyone in the inn knows a little bit about the techniques that others have learned. For example, Zhang Qilin knows a little bit about drawing talismans and summoning spirits. He even learned a little bit after seeing Hao Xie making paper figurines in the past few days.
The same goes for Hao Xie.
But the two of them didn't know the secret of the corpse-retrieving technique.
Now if we go out to do missions together, we can get to know each other more deeply.
Although Zhang Hao said that learning a technology requires specialization and the pursuit of excellence.
But Hao Xie discovered that if he could learn more about the mission, he could avoid some risks.
Many times, they need to understand things that Zhang Hao has not taught them by themselves.
"Brother Zhang Hao, can I go too?" Huo Xiuer naturally didn't want to stay alone in the inn when she heard that they could go on a mission together.
She came here to learn from their masters. If she went out to do a mission with them, she would gain a lot of knowledge.
Zhang Hao looked at Huo Xiuer and frowned slightly. If you think about it carefully, it might be a little troublesome to take Huo Xiuer there.
After all, the ancient battlefield was a bit dangerous, and she, a girl who didn't know anything, didn't know how much hardship she would have to endure.
But since she wants to join the Yin Yang Inn, this is a good test.
So he nodded and agreed: "Okay."
"When you get there, try to follow Brother Haoxie's arrangements."
"Follow him closely, otherwise if you act alone, you may not have anyone to protect you."
Judging from the paper man skills Hao Xie has displayed so far, he obviously has the ability to compete with mutated corpses.
His paper figurine skills have reached the pinnacle of a beginner papermaker. He is not afraid of water and fire, and is as strong as a diamond.
Given time, it is not impossible to break through to the intermediate level.
As soon as Zhang Hao finished speaking, Wang Ye and Fatty Wang walked out of the inn.
Seeing Fatty Wang's face full of smiles, everyone couldn't help but look at each other and smile.
This was the first time they had received such a task since Zhang Hao improved the well, and they couldn't help but feel a little hopeful.
Fatty Wang looked at Zhang Hao and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper, everything is ready."
Zhang Hao nodded slightly, and then said to Fatty Wang: "Go and tell Zhang Qilin that we will set off tomorrow to the ancient battlefield."
"We are all out to prevent you from encountering the evil soldiers alone and it will be difficult to deal with them."
When Wang Ye heard this, he raised his eyebrows slightly and muttered to himself. Yin soldiers? Ever since he came to the Yin Yang Inn and met Zhang Hao, he had always wanted to explore Zhang Hao's strength.
Now that I heard that they were going to exhume the body collectively, I felt ready to move, so I asked: "Shopkeeper Zhang Hao, can I go with you?"
"I am familiar with the road conditions and can guide you so that you don't take detours, haha!"
It is a good thing to have someone to lead the way. Zhang Hao nodded in agreement and then said: "Okay, we will stop here today and set off tomorrow morning to the ancient battlefield."
"Hao Xie, please arrange the residences of Wang Daozhang and Huo Xiuer."
"Wang Daozhang, although this is an inn, the accommodation conditions are simple and we still hope to see Haihan."
Wang Ye smiled and waved his hand, "You're welcome, shopkeeper. What I practiced in Wudang Mountain is inaction and purity, and I have long been used to it."
Zhang Hao nodded, then turned and walked towards his room.
……
Early next morning.
Everyone was already waiting in the inn yard, and as soon as Zhang Hao appeared, they immediately headed to the ancient battlefield.
Wang Ye and Huo Xiuer both had a little excitement on their faces.
Especially Huo Xiuer, who encountered such a big event when she first came to Yin Yang Inn, she wished she could rush to the ancient battlefield immediately and see with her own eyes the magical powers of Zhang Hao and others.
She had only heard Hao Xie mention how awesome the shopkeeper was on the phone, and she had always been fascinated by him.
Wang Ye, on the other hand, wants to bring the ancestor's body back to Wudang as soon as possible. This is also a top priority for Wudang.
At this time, there were jingling sounds in Zhang Hao's room, as if he was packing his luggage.
He didn't pack many things, just a few pieces of jade, a few talismans, a corpse rope, a soul-crushing tower and some scattered items.
He originally wanted to leave the soul-suppressing tower in the inn, but after thinking about it carefully, he realized that although the inn could stop ordinary ghosts, if ghosts of the black and white impermanence came, he might not be able to resist it if he wasn't there. Therefore, the soul-suppressing tower cannot be left in the inn.
After finishing packing, Zhang Hao carried his small bag and walked out. As soon as he went out, he saw Hao Xie coming, looked at him and asked: "Shopkeeper, I heard from Taoist Wang that the ancient battlefield is in a unique location. Although it is not far away, it is difficult to reach by vehicle."
"The ancient battlefield is located in the mountains. Although there are a few houses around it, there are not many, and there are no roads. If we take a car, we can only reach the nearest city and then walk there."
Zhang Hao nodded slightly and then said: "First take a bus, and then walk into the mountain."
"It doesn't matter, it won't take long to walk."
Hao Xie nodded, then shook his phone and said: "The nearest city is called Huaicheng Dukou Village. I have bought a ticket to Dukou Village. It is just a slow train. Although it is close, it can only be reached at night."
"Yes." Zhang Hao said lightly, "Let's go, take a bus first."
With Haoxie arranging everything, Zhang Hao doesn't need to worry too much. After the six people saw Zhang Hao, they rushed to the nearest train station.
It didn't take long for the six of them to get on the train from Luo City to Dukou Village.
The six people sat on the benches of the green leather train and looked at each other. (End of chapter)
