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

Thinking about the fact that she had come from afar but still hadn't been able to become a disciple, Huo Xiuer couldn't help but sigh.

"Ugh……"

"It seems that my path to becoming a disciple is filled with many difficulties and thorns!"

At this time, Zhang Hao did not notice Huo Xiuer's sigh in the yard.

He had no time to care about it at the moment.

Because at the moment Zhang Qilin stepped into the yard of the inn, the system prompt sound suddenly rang in Zhang Hao's mind.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the mission, driving the corpse of Wudang Patriarch to Yin Yang Inn! ]

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the hidden mission. The founders of the six major corpse-driving sects have arrived at the Yin-Yang Inn! ]

Hearing these hints, Zhang Hao's mouth curled up, his eyes flashed with anticipation, and he thought to himself.

This mission seems difficult, but the reward should be more generous.

What could it be?

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for receiving the mission reward, 100,000 taels of silver! ]

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the privilege to upgrade the inn! Currently, you can upgrade the dormitory, ancestral hall, and imperial chair! ]

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the fifth-grade formation, the Soul Binding Formation. It will be more effective when used with the Soul-Calming Tower! ]

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the underworld pet: the nine-tailed black cat! The nine-tailed black cat has the skill of sending letters over a thousand miles. Every time the skill is activated, the sky will rain underworld money! ]

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Great Yin-Yang Suturing Technique! It can not only sew up corpses, but also sew up souls! ]

When he heard about the Soul Binding Array and the underworld pet black cat, Zhang Hao's eyebrows raised slightly.

He said with a hint of doubt in his excitement.

"Soul-binding formation?"

"Can it cooperate with the Soul-Calming Tower?"

"This……"

"Is it another powerful magic weapon used to calm souls?"

"And the nine-tailed black cat..."

"Boom boom boom!"

The knock on the door interrupted Zhang Hao's thoughts.

"It should be Brother Qilin, right?" Zhang Hao said lightly, glanced at the Soul-Suppressing Tower in his hand, raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and walked towards the door.

When I opened the door, as expected, Zhang Qilin was standing at the door.

Zhang Qilin was exhausted from the long journey, and there was a dead leaf on the collar of his clothes.

There was a thin layer of dust on his cheeks, and it seemed that he went straight to Zhang Hao as soon as he returned to the inn.

Obviously there is something important to discuss.

Otherwise, Zhang Qilin would not have come to him in such a hurry.

Zhang Hao smiled, patted Zhang Qilin on the shoulder, and walked into the yard while asking.

"You're back."

"How's the journey going?"

Zhang Qilin nodded and briefly recounted what happened on the road.

At this time, Fatty Wang, Wang Ye, Hao Xie and Huo Xiuer all noticed Zhang Qilin's return, so they surrounded him.

After listening to Zhang Qilin's narration, they asked with confusion.

"Boss, could it be that those ghost messengers also know how to become invisible?"

"You can't just disappear right in front of me."

“I think this is so weird.”

“I just can’t figure it out.”

Hao Xie and Fatty Wang also looked confused, although they did not drive the corpses back with Zhang Qilin.

But after hearing about what happened to Zhang Qilin, he couldn't help but secretly wonder the reasons behind it.

Zhang Hao smiled and explained.

"Invisibility does exist, but not everyone can learn it in the underworld."

"It must be at least rank seven."

"You said that the Yinchai you saw earlier suddenly disappeared."

"I don't think they used any magic or invisibility, but went to a place you can't see."

Zhang Qilin frowned and asked in confusion, "A place I can't see?"

"what is that?"

Zhang Hao looked outside and said lightly.

"I think that's the gate to the ghost town."

"Generally speaking, the gate of a ghost town is a high-level defense that is invisible to those who have not entered the realm of the master."

"Once the ghost has entered the city gate, you will naturally not be able to see him."

"Because that place no longer belongs to the world of the living!"

"So, you must enter the rank as soon as possible. If you don't enter the rank, there will be too many restrictions on you."

"However, this also proves that the place should be the gate of the ghost town."

Hearing the word "entering the grade", Fatty Wang and Hao Xie looked confused, but a gleam of light flashed in Zhang Qilin's eyes, as if he remembered something.

"That's right!" Zhang Qilin suddenly looked at Zhang Hao, "Boss, when I came back, I seemed to...see a world that didn't belong here."

"It should be related to the entry!"

When they heard Zhang Qilin mention the entry level, Fatty Wang and Hao Xie looked at each other in astonishment, their eyes full of shock.

"Isn't this too exaggerated? Is it going to be graded?" Fatty Wang couldn't help but whispered, "We don't feel anything yet!"

"That's right, Brother Qilin's talent is unparalleled, so enviable!" Hao Xie nodded, "But what he said about entering the rank... why do I feel a little familiar?"

“Get out of here!” Fatty Wang pushed Hao Xie away, “Don’t tell me you’re such a pervert!”

Zhang Hao waved his hand, and after Hao Xie and Fatty Wang calmed down, he continued to ask.

"Tell me what exactly happened?"

Zhang Qilin nodded and described to Zhang Hao in detail the chaotic world he saw in his mind.

After listening to Zhang Qilin's narration, Zhang Hao nodded slowly.

"Ah."

"There are indeed signs of entry."

"Generally speaking, people can only see one side of the world at most. As human beings, what we usually see is the 'human world'."

“And you not only saw the human world, but also the ghost world and the god world.”

"This shows that you have an innate advantage over others in your cultivation."

As soon as he finished speaking, Hao Xie blinked, looked at Fatty Wang, then at Zhang Qilin, and then said.

"Boss, I've seen this scene... too!" Zhang Hao was stunned when he heard it.

Originally, when he heard that Zhang Qilin showed signs of reaching the next level, he was delighted.

One more qualified person in the inn is equivalent to one more master.

The strength of the inn will be greatly improved.

I thought this was a surprise, but I didn’t expect it to be a double surprise.

Zhang Qilin showed signs of reaching the next level, and Hao Xie also showed signs of reaching the next level!

"You have it too?" Zhang Hao was pleasantly surprised, but couldn't help but ask one more question just to confirm.

Hao Xie just nodded and said.

"This morning, when I was making paper figures, I fell asleep without realizing it."

"At first I thought I was too tired these days, so I fell asleep directly."

“But later I realized it wasn’t that simple because the dream I had was very strange.”

"I also saw that chaotic world, and then a world similar to the present appeared."

"After slowly evolving, I saw what the ancients pursued, and it seemed to be related to the quality of the product."

"I didn't understand what it meant at the time, so I just thought it was an ordinary dream."

"Now it seems that this dream has a profound meaning!"

Zhang Hao nodded and smiled slightly.

"Ah."

"You dreamed of the human world."

"It should be the same as Zhang Qilin's, both are signs of entering the realm of the highest rank."

"I didn't expect that there would be such a big happy event in our inn today, haha."

Zhang Hao looked at Fatty Wang with hesitation in his eyes, but finally decided to turn his gaze to Hao Xie and Zhang Qilin and spoke slowly.

"Don't be happy too soon. Having signs of entering the realm doesn't mean you can actually enter the realm. Some people have such signs at the age of twenty, but they haven't been able to enter that realm until the end of their lives."

There was a hint of depth in his words as he continued:
“On the contrary, some people who have never had those dreams and have never seen the chaotic world may be able to enter the level directly under some kind of coincidence.”

“So, it is not easy to enter the rank.”

After hearing this, Fatty Wang secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, Hao Xie and Zhang Qilin both showed signs of reaching the next level, but he himself showed no signs of moving at all, which made him worry that he would become a burden.

However, when he heard the topic of entering the realm, although he had no signs, he felt a yearning in his heart, so he asked:
"Shopkeeper, how can I get into the rank?"

Zhang Hao simply drew three horizontal lines on the ground, pointed to the bottom one and said:

"Entering the rank is a realm recognized by the Three Realms. A ghost must enter the rank before he can become a ghost messenger, or even hope to become the King of Fengdu. And the yellow-skinned creature you saw before is a monster that has been practicing for three hundred years. As long as it transforms into a human form, it will have the opportunity to enter the rank."

He paused, pointed at Hao Xie, and explained:

"If humans want to enter the realm of the rank, they must enter the 'human gate'. As for monsters, since there is no monster gate in the world, they must cultivate into human form before they can have the opportunity to open the 'human gate' and enter the realm of the rank, just like humans."

The three of them were confused by this explanation, and Wang Ye and Huo Xiu'er felt like they were listening to a foreign language.

Although Wang Ye practiced in Wudang Mountain, he knew very little about these ancient things.

Compared with Zhang Hao, his knowledge reserves seem so scarce.

Huo Xiu'er stared at Zhang Hao with wide eyes, quietly took out the recorder on her mobile phone, and began to record meticulously from the moment Zhang Hao started talking.

Although she didn't understand, she could feel Hao Xie and others' desire to enter the realm of the highest grade.

If she became a member of the Yin Yang Inn in the future, she would also embark on this path to becoming a master, so she listened very carefully.

Fatty Wang looked at Zhang Hao in confusion, then glanced at Hao Xie and Zhang Qilin and asked:

"Boss, how do we enter the realm of the master? Do we have to rely on enlightenment? I feel like this thing is very mysterious and not that easy."

Zhang Hao shook his head and explained:

"In ancient times, it was extremely difficult to open the five gates, because independent cultivators often could not find the gates, nor did they know how to open them. And there were only a few people who could open the gates on their own. In ancient times, those who entered the realm of cultivation needed guidance from their predecessors. Only with the guidance of their predecessors could they find the gates and open them. This is inheritance, passed down from generation to generation."

Hao Xie, Zhang Qilin and Fatty Wang looked at each other, then all looked at Zhang Hao and asked in unison:

"Shopkeeper, you must have entered the rank, so can you guide us?"

Zhang Hao touched his chin, hesitated for a moment and said:

"Yes, I can...but..."

The three of them couldn't help but get nervous when they saw this. If Zhang Hao was really willing to guide them, wouldn't they be able to enter the realm of the master by now? But what was Zhang Hao worried about?

Fatty Wang urged:

"Boss, just tell me what you have to say! If there is anything difficult, we will solve it!"

Zhang Hao blinked, looked at the three of them, and smiled warmly:

"I originally wanted you to practice more. This trip to the ancient battlefield will be very helpful for your growth. If you can consolidate your knowledge, that would be even better. And in this way, it can be used as a bonus for the next distribution of money. Otherwise, I have to figure out what to give out next time."

The three of them heaved a sigh of relief when they realized that Zhang Hao was worried about the next money distribution. They were originally so nervous that their faces turned purple, but now they suddenly relaxed, stared at Zhang Hao for a long time, and sighed silently.

"Hey……"

Fatty Wang patted Zhang Hao on the shoulder and said with a smile:
"Brother Zhang Hao, your joke is a bit scary! I thought it was a small matter, but this is it? Can't we just treat it as dividing the money in advance? I don't want the money, as long as you can let me feel that chaotic world."

Zhang Hao nodded and said, "But there is only one person like him in a million!"

Fatty Wang patted his chest and said confidently, "I think I am the one in a million! What do you think? Take me to see it for myself?"

Seeing that the three of them were full of expectations, Zhang Hao said:
"In fact, dividing the money is a small matter. The main thing is that I want you to consolidate your strength. But since you all want to give it a try..."

He nodded and continued, "Okay, I'll take you to try it."

"Great! Boss, let's start now!" Fatty Wang looked at Zhang Hao excitedly and had already begun to imagine that chaotic world in his mind.

However, Zhang Hao waved his hand and said, "Don't worry. I can't take you there just because I want to. The time tonight has passed. I'll take a look tomorrow night. Don't worry, I'll be happier if you can enter the rank. I won't be vague about this matter."

Fatty Wang was stunned for a moment, then nodded and muttered, "Hey...if it's tomorrow, what should I do today? I feel like I'm too excited to sleep. If I can't sleep, will it affect my entry into the rank tomorrow?"

Zhang Hao smiled, looked at Zhang Qilin and said, "You are tired from the journey, go and rest early. Don't worry about the entry. This kind of thing can't be rushed. Let's talk about it tomorrow."

Zhang Qilin nodded, stood up and walked towards his room. Then everyone returned to their rooms, leaving Zhang Hao alone in the yard. He took out the Soul-Calming Tower in his arms, walked around the yard, and whispered to himself:

"The Soul Binding Array needs to be coordinated with the Soul Calming Tower to exert its maximum power. How to arrange this array really requires careful consideration."

He looked around and felt that no matter where he arranged it, he might not be able to find the most suitable place.

When it comes to the most solidly defended part of his compound, it must be the gate.

Outside the gate, the moat gurgles. Once the fog formation is activated, the underworld ghosts below the fifth rank will not be able to see any trace of the Yin-Yang Inn.

However, for ghost messengers of the fifth rank and above, this formation seems to be powerless. After all, the fog formation itself is of the fifth rank.

Although there is a large protective formation in the courtyard, its protective ability is obviously much inferior in comparison.

Zhang Hao did not dwell too much on the choice of location. After surveying the yard, he had already made up his mind.

"Let's place this soul-binding formation here."

On the other side, many phantoms gathered at the entrance of Fengmen Village at some point in time.

Upon closer inspection, these phantoms were all wearing dark red gold armor, with black iron chains tied around their waists, looking like the underworld's evildoers. (End of this chapter)
