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

After processing the goods, Zhang Hao drove the offerings to Zhang Xiaoming and his sister. The twin ghosts, arranged by the underworld, ran a convenience store at the boundary between the living and the dead.

This shop mainly caters to ghost customers and generally does not accept ordinary living people except for special individuals.

In a remote corner of the suburbs, an ordinary-looking convenience store is open for business.

In the hazy night, the lanterns in front of the shop emitted a faint glow—they were not ordinary electric lights, but two white paper lanterns with flickering candlelight inside, casting an eerie light on the entire shop.

As soon as Zhang Hao, who had just arrived in his truck, got out of the vehicle, he heard a series of soft ringing sounds like a soul-summoning bell.

The crisp sound of bells rang out continuously as Zhang Xiaoming drifted out of the shop.

He wore a paper hat, and in the cold wind, he seemed as light as a piece of paper as he floated closer.

"Mr. Zhang, have all the goods I ordered been prepared?"

Zhang Hao pointed to the truck's cargo box: "I brought everything. But since I helped you restock, shouldn't you show your appreciation?"

Zhang Hao made it clear that he did not want to waste his efforts or provide assistance for free.

Zhang Xiaoming was silent for a moment, then finally nodded: "This batch of goods is indeed very valuable, and you have the right to make demands. Mr. Zhang, what can we do for you?"

Under the cover of night, Zhang Xiaoming's face was as pale as paper, devoid of any color, making him appear exceptionally sinister.

"It's very simple. Most of the customers your convenience store serves are ghosts, and some of them are exorcists who are skilled in Yin-Yang magic. They need the goods here, and over time, you must have gotten to know quite a few exorcists with real abilities, right?"

Zhang Xiaoming nodded honestly. He had been running this convenience store for some time and was quite well-known in the Taoist circle. There were indeed many talented and extraordinary people among the store's regular customers.

"I have a special mission that requires the cooperation of several exorcists. I would appreciate your help in making contact, and I promise to reward you handsomely afterward. Whether it's a thousand-year-old peach wood sword for warding off evil, a top-quality demon-exorcising mirror, or various talismans for capturing ghosts and exorcising demons, I can provide it all, as long as they successfully complete the task I assign them."

It would be much easier if there was a reward; I could essentially act as an intermediary.

Zhang Xiaoming took out several pieces of yellow paper, bit his fingertip, and wrote several names on the paper with his blood. He also drew some strange talismans.

After doing all this, he licked his bleeding fingertip, and the wound healed instantly, followed by a burst of ghostly blue flames.

Several points of will-o'-the-wisp landed on the talisman. The talisman burned, sending up wisps of condensed, persistent blue smoke.

Wisps of smoke drifted into the distance. Soon after, ripples spread through the surrounding space. With a few soft sounds, the figures of three young celestial masters appeared amidst the swirling smoke.

"Shopkeeper Zhang, have you summoned us here at this time because you've received some good goods?"

A man wearing a white scarf and carrying a plastic bag approached with a smile.

His name is Li Zixuan. He is the only son in his family for nine generations, and his ancestors all practiced demon-catching magic. By his generation, demons had become very rare, so he expanded his business from catching demons to catching ghosts.

An unexpected experience led him to the shop, where he met the owners, Zhang Xiaoming and his sister.

When the shop owner summoned him, he thought it was for some good task or something good, so he rushed over excitedly.

It must be said that this store's summoning method is indeed convenient, allowing for instant teleportation.

Of course, those who can accept teleportation must have a foundation in cultivation; otherwise, they would not be able to be teleported here instantly.

"Shopkeeper Zhang, it seems you've received some good goods. Thank you for thinking of me first." The items sold in this shop, whether paper money, incense, candles, or other items, have all undergone special treatment and are priced very reasonably, making them popular with Taoist priests and ghost hunters.

After Li Zixuan and the others approached, Zhang Xiaoming pointed to Zhang Hao and explained to the assembled Celestial Masters, "This Mr. Zhang has a task that requires your cooperation. You can discuss the details with him." After saying this, Zhang Xiaoming used magic to collect the specially made paper money and incense, preparing to put them into the warehouse for registration.

"If there's nothing else, I'll go take care of my business now. These goods need to be sorted and shelved, which takes quite a bit of time. If I don't finish today, it will delay opening the shop tomorrow."

Zhang Hao was very understanding: "Okay, you go ahead and get busy. I'll discuss it with these Celestial Masters."

Zhang Hao waved goodbye and turned to the assembled Celestial Masters, saying, "I have a task that requires your assistance. If you are willing to cooperate, I will offer generous rewards. I wonder if any of you are interested?"

Zhang Hao is quite famous in the corpse-driving world and has a high reputation in the Taoist circle. He can be said to be a recognized bigwig in the industry.

This big shot usually keeps a low profile and rarely makes any big fuss.

It is indeed a rare occurrence that they have taken the initiative to seek cooperation with other celestial masters this time.

“Mr. Zhang, please don’t hesitate to ask if there’s anything I can help you with. I will do my best to assist you in any way I can,” Li Zixuan said with a smile.

Other celestial masters echoed this sentiment, expressing their willingness to do their utmost to help.

Most people in this line of work value their lives. They think: if even a big shot like Zhang Hao can't handle this, then the trouble must be enormous. They must understand the level of risk in the mission before deciding whether to lend a hand.

Zhang Hao could roughly guess their concerns.

"Actually, it's nothing dangerous. All you need to do is act as bait to lure out an evil spirit. Of course, I guarantee your safety with my integrity; this mission is absolutely not life-threatening."

Zhang Hao's words carried considerable weight. Since this powerful figure had given such assurance, the several celestial masters exchanged glances, gradually dispelling their doubts and worries.

Li Zixuan was the first to raise his hand: "Since Mr. Zhang has said so, it would be unreasonable for me to refuse. Exorcising ghosts and demons is our duty. Mr. Zhang, I will accept this task."

Other celestial masters also responded upon seeing this.

Zhang Hao was deeply moved. After all, most Taoist priests in this circle are used to working alone and rarely communicate with each other. Sometimes, even if they live next to each other, they may not know that the other person is also a colleague.

"Thank you all very much! I will give each of you a thousand-year-old peach wood sword as a token of my gratitude."

Zhang Hao has always been generous to his helpers, offering irresistible rewards right away.

The eyes of all the Celestial Masters lit up when they heard about this reward.

A thousand-year-old peach wood sword is a powerful tool for catching ghosts! Due to modern environmental destruction, let alone a thousand-year-old peach wood sword, even a hundred-year-old peach wood sword is now extremely rare!
As expected of Mr. Zhang, he is indeed very generous!
Zhang Hao invited them aside to discuss their next course of action.

"I have some entanglements with certain forces in the West and have uncovered a deeply hidden evil spirit. This fiend has recently been practicing evil arts and needs people who have practiced Yin-Yang magic as supplements to enhance his cultivation. My friends in the West have already made contact with that evil spirit and have agreed to provide several people with special talents for his use. I naturally cannot implicate the innocent, but in order to lure out the mastermind, I still need your help to act as bait and draw out that hidden evil spirit."

After briefly explaining the whole story, the Taoist masters present couldn't help but frown.

This does sound like a tricky situation.

Zhang Hao reassured them again, "You can all rest assured, there will absolutely be no mishaps this time." (End of Chapter)
