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

Her words made Zhang Hao break out in a cold sweat.

Generally speaking, as long as something exists, no matter how mysterious it is, there will always be some strange statements passed down over time.

Just like matters of life and death, perhaps ordinary people have never seen a ghost, but there are related sayings passed down since ancient times, and they also believe that ghosts do exist in this world.

The most popular sayings are often correct to some extent.

But this woman...what she said seemed to be the common perception of this world.

Zhang Hao thought again of the scene where the soul of the child outside dissipated in the wind. Is this what they call returning to heaven and earth?
Is it possible that there is no so-called cycle of life and death in this world?

All this was beyond Zhang Hao's understanding. He pinched his eyebrows involuntarily and sorted out this information in his mind over and over again.

Soon, the man came back.

"Master, I have already paid for the medical expenses for the next few days. The nurse said that your friend is just malnourished and just needs more rest."

"Okay, thank you very much."

At this time, the woman suddenly asked doubtfully: "Master, are you... the immortal who came down from Mount Tianshan?"

It’s Tianshan again!

In Zhang Hao's world, most people would think that they were gods who had descended from heaven, but in fact there was nothing specific about heaven.

The people here seem to believe that the gods must have come down from the Tianshan Mountains, and the Tianshan Mountains are a place with specific coordinates. Have they never been curious about why the gods came down from there?

Seeing Zhang Hao in a trance, the woman did not continue the topic, but asked curiously: "Master, may I ask your name?"

"My name is Zhang Hao."

"My name is Wang Zhongyang, and this is my wife Zhang Miao."

"You two are not locals, right?"

Wang Zhongyang replied, "No, we came here from the mainland to see a doctor. My wife's illness has been treated in many hospitals but none of them worked. We had no choice but to come here. After going to hospitals all over the country, there is always a little hope. I didn't expect to run into you here. Isn't that a coincidence?"

Traveling to hospitals all over the country?
Zhang Hao looked at Zhang Miao in confusion, only to see Zhang Miao lowering her head with a wry smile, which seemed to conceal a lot of helplessness.

I guess she suffered a lot during the time she was seeking medical treatment.

"Master, what are your plans next?"

"I have not decided yet."

Wang Zhongyang seemed very happy to hear Zhang Hao say this.

"Master, would you like to go back to the mainland with us? If you stay here for too long, your body will feel uncomfortable. We have been here for half a month and we can hardly hold on any longer."

Not only them, Zhang Hao himself felt that he could not hold on any longer.

I have a terrible headache, and it seems that my abilities are greatly reduced here. It is not convenient for me to test my abilities now.

"Okay, I'll go with you guys after my friend wakes up."

"Okay, okay, okay!" Wang Zhongyang was extremely happy.

In his opinion, Zhang Hao is a master, and it would be good for him to go back with him. Moreover, most of his friends are rich, and if he tells them that he knows a master who can solve various difficult and complicated problems, many people will come to him.

At that time, you can just charge a small agency fee.

From Wang Zhongyang's calculating eyes, Zhang Hao had almost guessed what he was thinking.

But it doesn’t matter. If I can help him, it means that I can still cooperate with him.

If you have any further conditions in the future, it’s not too late to raise them.

More than a day later, Sun Pingkuan finally woke up. Unlike the state he had been in in the mental hospital before, Sun Pingkuan now looked much more sober.

After seeing Zhang Hao, he smiled slightly and asked Zhang Hao to tell him everything that had happened in the past few days.

Zhang Hao didn't say it directly, but raised his own questions.

"Can you tell me the mystery about you first? What does the diary I saw in the Natural Resources Management Bureau mean? Who are you? Why were you able to draw a map of Tianshan when you were crazy? And why did you wake up after coming here?"

After asking a series of questions, Sun Pingkuan didn't seem surprised, as if he had expected Zhang Hao to ask these questions.

"Can I answer them one by one?"

In his normal state, Sun Pingkuan looks very polite, with a smile on his face when he speaks. He can be said to be very courteous.

Zhang Hao felt ashamed of his impatience just now.

Maybe I was really too anxious.

"I'm sorry, I'm in a hurry. Of course you can answer them one by one, or even selectively. I just want to know..."

"How many days have you been here?"

Sun Pingkuan first asked Zhang Hao a question.

Zhang Hao thought for a moment and replied, "It has been almost a week since I entered Tianshan."

Zhang Hao noticed that when Sun Pingkuan said "here", he used words like "this world".

From Sun Pingkuan's words, he also indirectly confirmed that this world is really different.

"Based on your ability, if you want to come to this world, it will take about three days to travel, so you have been here for about four days, right? In these four days, you should have a general understanding of this world and clearly realized that this is not your original world."

Zhang Hao just nodded lightly, without interrupting or disrupting Sun Pingkuan's rhythm.

Sun Pingkuan looked down at the IV in his hand and actually reached out and pulled it out. Then he slowly walked to the window and looked at everything outside.

Looking out the window, Sun Pingkuan's expression was satisfied and relieved, and he seemed to be very familiar with all of this.

"I'm finally back..."

This sentence also indirectly confirmed Zhang Hao's guess.

"You were originally from this world, but were taken there, right?"

"The things behind this are too complicated and there are too many things. I don't know where to start right now... Where are you going? I want to go with you. We can talk slowly on the way, okay?"

Since Sun Pingkuan has regained consciousness, there is no need for him to stay in the hospital.

Zhang Hao asked Sun Pingkuan to go with him and follow Wang Zhongyang to the mainland.

After walking for another two days, Zhang Hao became more and more certain that the geographical features of this world were extremely similar to his own world, and that the faces of every person here could be found in his original world, except that their identities were very different.

He thought that if Hao Xie and the others came here, they might also notice this. He felt that he was lucky. Not long after arriving here, he saw a face similar to Zhang Mengyao, and thus understood this pattern. As for what would happen to the others, he had no idea, and could only pray for them silently in his heart.

Along the way, Sun Pingkuan also revealed part of the truth to him.

First, he, like the people imprisoned on the third floor of the Natural Resources Bureau, were taken from this world for experiments, and it is still unknown who is behind this.

Secondly, he can only stay awake if he returns here. Once he goes to that world, his mental and physical state will gradually deteriorate and he will eventually become a madman. In other words, Zhang Hao will suffer the same fate in the future.

Thirdly, precisely because they knew this, those talents trained Sun Pingkuan and others in advance, turning them into "tools" that could only remember keys.

There were still two questions that Sun Pingkuan did not answer directly, but Zhang Hao was still curious.

First of all, what is the identity of Sun Pingkuan’s father, and what kind of cooperation has he reached with the Natural Resources Bureau?
Secondly, Sun Pingkuan's diary was definitely not as simple as he said. The second half of the diary was definitely not the nonsense of a mentally ill person, but rather seemed to be eroded by some kind of power.

At that time, Sun Pingkuan also realized that he had become a monster, not just a madman.

Sun Pingkuan did not explain these mysteries, and Zhang Hao decided not to ask any more questions. After all, the information he had at hand was enough for him to digest for a long time.

When they arrived in the city where Wang Zhongyang was, Wang Zhongyang paid for Zhang Hao to rent a fully furnished two-bedroom apartment without hesitation.

"Master, you can stay here for the time being. Someone will take care of your daily life."

Zhang Hao could see that Wang Zhongyang didn't want him to leave and wanted to keep him here like a canary.

"Mr. Wang, you don't have to be so nervous. I know you have done me a favor, and I have helped you, so we both get what we need. You helped me rent this apartment, so I will draw two more talismans for you to help you slightly adjust the Feng Shui of your house, so that both your spirit and body can be improved."

"Okay, okay, okay! This couldn't be better!"

Zhang Hao originally wanted to take a break, but Wang Zhongyang refused to leave, so he could only draw two talismans and give them to him.

After finally seeing the couple off, Zhang Hao collapsed in his chair, somewhat exhausted.

Sun Pingkuan, however, watched the joke leisurely from the side.

"I say, you would rather ask them for help, why not ask me?"

"You've been gone from this world for so long, can you still keep your property?"

"Then you really underestimated me."

Sun Pingkuan stood up, walked to the window, looked up at the sky, and after looking for a few minutes, he took two steps back and gestured something with his fingers where he had just stood.

Zhang Hao looked carefully and found that a faint golden light was left where his fingers passed. The light exuded warm power. Is this Sun Pingkuan's original power?

Even a powerful person like Sun Pingkuan would inevitably turn into a madman when he was with me...Now that Zhang Hao's own strength has been greatly reduced, will he also turn into a madman?

He didn't dare to think about it, nor did he dare to think further.

After a while, Sun Pingkuan returned to the house.

"What were you doing just now?"

"Call my spirit."

"Your spirit? What is this?"

Is it something like a puppet or a pet?
"Well, in your world, there is reincarnation, and the soul can be reborn after death. In simple terms, the life span of a life will never end, it just changes into a different form. But it's not the case here... After a person or creature dies, they will not enter reincarnation, let alone be reborn. They will just float on this land and then be blown away by the wind bit by bit.

My spirit is that I used my power to preserve a soul that was about to dissipate, and helped it absorb the spiritual energy scattered between heaven and earth, so that it could continue to exist in the world. In exchange, the spirit must obey me, and cannot betray me even if the soul is scattered. Do you understand this?"

From his words, Zhang Hao finally understood what the life and death system of this world was like.

There is only life and death, no reincarnation.

"If the soul of a person cannot be reborn after death, then how did every person born in this world come from?"

"I don't know. No one can figure this out."

"Then what does your father want to do? Did the higher-ups send you there just to find the answer to this question?"

Sun Pingkuan seemed to be at a loss for words after being asked by Zhang Hao.

"My father reached a deal with them... We have no place to stand in this world, so isn't going to a world with reincarnation a way out? Before the experiment began, I knew that I would eventually go crazy, become their tool, and even die there...

But as long as my soul can enter reincarnation, I can live forever from my next life. Although the person who survives may not have any trace of me now, for my father, this is also a kind of eternal life. In exchange, they are responsible for opening the door to this world for the Natural Resources Bureau.

As for what those people wanted to do here, I don’t know. After all, I didn’t wake up for long after I got there, and then…”

Sun Pingkuan didn't say anything else, as if something more terrible than the deal he mentioned had happened.

A word flashed through his mind: assimilation.

He was not assimilated by those mentally ill patients, but rather seemed to be assimilated by the will of a certain group. He had no idea who or what creature the will of this group came from.

Sun Pingkuan might have a clue, but he didn't want to tell Zhang Hao. Zhang Hao had already forced him to tell one of the answers to two curious questions, and he knew that enough was enough, so he didn't ask any more questions.

Even now, questions keep popping up in Zhang Hao's mind.

From the initial curiosity about Sun Pingkuan, it has now turned into curiosity about Sun Pingkuan's father.

How did his father know that there is reincarnation in another world when people in this world have no clear concept of life and death?

After a few minutes, Zhang Hao felt a gust of wind blowing.

Turning his head to look outside the floor-to-ceiling window, he saw a faint white shadow standing there. The shadow seemed to want to come in and get closer to Sun Pingkuan, but for some reason it stopped there.

Seeing this, Sun Pingkuan smiled and said to Zhang Hao, "Your strength is so strong that even he doesn't dare to get close to you."

"You're still strong like this?"

Zhang Hao sneered and really wanted to mock himself.

After coming here, he fainted every other day and was even admitted to the hospital. This is not something a man of his ability should do.

"You may not know how strong you are, even in the previous world... Let's eat. I'm hungry."

Sun Pingkuan and Zhang Hao, two living people, were having a meal, and Sun Pingkuan's spirit was standing beside them. From then until now, almost half an hour had passed, and the spirit's body had become more solid little by little, and the outline of a human could be seen.

"Who was your spirit before? What was so special about him that you chose him?"

"Because he is my brother. The reason why we were able to open the door on Snow God Mountain was because my brother sacrificed his blood..."

Zhang Hao suddenly felt a mouthful of rice stuck in his throat. He could neither swallow it nor spit it out. He didn't know what to say. What happened to Sun Pingkuan was beyond his current understanding.

The so-called door, the so-called two worlds, the so-called cycle of life and death...how could there be such a big difference?

Is this a world without God's jurisdiction? (End of this chapter)
