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

It was as if the whole world was left with only him and this picture.

Seeing this, the others did not dare to disturb him. They just stayed by his side silently, each thinking about their own thoughts.

However, no matter how hard Zhang Hao tried, he could not figure out the mystery of the celestial map, and he couldn't help feeling a little annoyed.

"Bang!" Zhang Hao slapped the table hard in frustration.

The sudden noise startled Zhang Qilin who was standing outside. He walked quickly into the room and saw Zhang Hao frowning, closing his eyes, looking extremely anxious.

Zhang Qilin slowed down his pace and stared at Zhang Hao quietly. After a while, he slowly walked over.

"Zhang Hao, go eat something. Stop dwelling on this. Relax a bit, and maybe you'll see the light." He said softly, "It's not good for your health to keep your nerves tense like this. Things will work out when the time comes. Don't force things."

When Zhang Hao heard the voice, he suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Zhang Qilin in surprise. He had never heard this usually taciturn man say such comforting words, and he couldn't help but put down the notebook in his hand.

Zhang Qilin had no intention of looking at the notebook in Zhang Hao's hand, but he glanced at it inadvertently.

However, this glance made him stunned.

He stared at the notebook intently and for a moment he even forgot the purpose of his coming here.

This abnormal reaction immediately caught Zhang Hao's attention.

"Hey, Zhang Qilin, what are you looking at?" Zhang Hao asked.

However, Zhang Qilin did not respond, and his eyes never left the contents of the notebook.

He just stood there stupidly. Zhang Hao had never seen him so out of control.

"What's wrong with him? Why does he have such a reaction when he sees the contents of the notebook? Does he know what's on it?" Zhang Hao was full of doubts. He frowned slightly and stared at Zhang Qilin closely.

Zhang Qilin's unusual behavior shocked Zhang Hao. He could no longer suppress his curiosity, so he grabbed Zhang Qilin, who was stunned, and asked nervously, "Zhang Qilin, tell me honestly, do you know what's on it? Otherwise, why would you be stunned when you saw it?"

Zhang Qilin was awakened by Zhang Hao's actions. He quickly came to his senses and said in a panic, "Oh, nothing, nothing. Let's go downstairs to eat. Everyone is waiting for you."

However, how could the smart Zhang Hao not see that Zhang Qilin was hiding something from him?
Even Zhang Qilin might really know something about this celestial map. This made Zhang Hao more eager to know the truth.

"Wait a minute!" Zhang Hao stopped Zhang Qilin and pointed at the contents on the notebook and asked, "Zhang Qilin, tell me honestly, do you know what's on it? Otherwise, why would you react like this?"

When Zhang Qilin heard Zhang Hao's question, a strange expression appeared on his face. His eyes flickered and his tone became strange. His two hands seemed to have nowhere to put, and he looked extremely uneasy. Seeing all this, Zhang Hao couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

"Strange, what happened to Zhang Qilin today? Why is he behaving so abnormally? He is usually so cold, what on earth has stimulated him? No, this must be related to the Tiantu, but why is he unwilling to say it? Is there something unspeakable? It seems that I can't be too anxious." Zhang Hao could only comfort himself in his heart.

Seeing Zhang Qilin's weird expression at this moment, Zhang Hao suddenly understood one thing: Maybe Zhang Qilin was right, this matter should not be rushed. He also couldn't stop in front of Zhang Qilin and keep questioning him, which might backfire.

Thinking of this, Zhang Hao moved his feet, stopped talking, and didn't ask any more questions.

Zhang Qilin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, looked up at Zhang Hao and said, "Go down, don't keep everyone waiting anxiously. I'll go down first, you get ready."

Zhang Hao looked at Zhang Qilin's hurriedly leaving back, shook his head helplessly, put away the excerpt notebook in his hand, and followed him out. He didn't want to keep everyone waiting too long.

However, when Zhang Hao just walked downstairs, he inadvertently saw the owner of the hotel standing mysteriously beside Chen Wenjin, saying something serious and mysteriously.

Chen Wenjin's expression was also gradually changing, from relaxed at first to nervous, and then to complicated at last. This process lasted for quite a while.

Zhang Hao didn't rush over, but watched from a distance.

After the hostel owner finished speaking and left, when only Chen Wenjin was left, Zhang Hao walked over. While the hostel owner was speaking, he had already noticed all the expressions on Chen Wenjin's face.

Obviously, Chen Wenjin was having a fierce inner struggle at this moment. Zhang Hao didn't know why, but from Chen Wenjin's expression, he could tell that this matter must be very important.

After hesitating for a while, Zhang Hao finally took a step and came to Chen Wenjin's side. He looked up at the figure of the owner of the guesthouse who was leaving and asked, "What's going on? What was he talking about just now? I can see that your expression is so complicated, this matter must be very serious, right? If it's convenient, can you tell me about it?"

Chen Wenjin was startled by Zhang Hao who suddenly came to her side. She turned around and glanced at Zhang Hao, smiled slightly and said, "Why is it so sudden? It scared me."

Zhang Hao felt that something was definitely wrong, and perhaps something really big had happened.

After hearing Zhang Hao's question, Chen Wenjin did not hide anything. She sighed with a sad face and said, "What else could it be? Isn't it just about the Zhenjiang Dragon Coffin?"

"About the Zhenjiang Dragon Coffin... do you have any new information?" Zhang Hao looked at Chen Wenjin with surprise.

Chen Wenjin nodded slightly, looking out the window with empty eyes, took a sip of tea, and slowly said, "Last night, before Zhou Dawei came to take away the Zhenjiang Dragon Coffin, some strange things happened."

"Oh? What's the matter?" Zhang Hao frowned, looking confused.

"The owner of the guesthouse thought something was fishy, ​​so he told me about it." Chen Wenjin's voice was low and mysterious. "I heard that before Zhou Dawei took the dragon coffin away, he talked to himself for a long time not far from the guesthouse."

"Talking to yourself?" Zhang Hao's eyes widened. "What does this mean?"

"Yes, the owner of the hotel also found it strange, so he looked a few more times. It turned out that there was only Zhou Dawei there, and there was no one else at all." Chen Wenjin said, the expression on her face becoming more and more complicated.

Zhang Hao scratched his head, trying to understand all this: "Did the boss hear what he said?" "The boss said that he vaguely heard some strange words, like...'hostage', 'threat', 'obtained' and so on." Chen Wenjin's tone was a little uneasy, "These words don't sound like simple prayers or comfort. I think this matter must be complicated."

Zhang Hao's eyes became sharp when he heard this: "You mean, Zhou Dawei might be controlled by someone? Those strange words might be some kind of code or instructions that he was forced to say?"

Chen Wenjin nodded, looking serious: "I think so too. Otherwise, why would he say these words to the air? And those words sound like the code words of some secret transaction."

The two fell into silence, each pondering the deeper meaning behind this. After a moment, Zhang Hao suddenly looked up and said, "By the way, do you think this matter is related to the formation ruins in Sanjiashan Village?"

Chen Wenjin was startled: "You mean... that ghost tribe?"

"Yes, I always feel that there is the shadow of the mysterious ghost tribe behind this." Zhang Hao's expression became serious. "Although we don't have enough evidence, this is all too weird, and we have to think in that direction."

Chen Wenjin's face turned pale: "Then... where would Zhou Dawei take the Zhenjiang Dragon Coffin? Could he have already..."

"No, we have to find him as soon as possible!" Zhang Hao stood up suddenly and walked out in a hurry, "I have to find Zhang Qilin to see if he has any clues."

However, Zhang Hao searched the entire place but could not find Zhang Qilin. He returned to Fatty Wang helplessly and said, "Fatty, have you seen Men Youhu? Where did he go?"

Fatty Wang was chewing on a steamed bun while looking around: "No, Brother Zhang Hao, didn't he just go upstairs to call you for dinner? How come he's gone again?"

"Hey, this guy is always elusive." Fatty Wang shook his head. "Forget it, don't look for him. He will definitely come back on his own. You should eat something first."

Zhang Hao sighed helplessly and returned to Chen Wenjin. The two of them sat in silence, each with their own concerns.

After a long time, Chen Wenjin finally couldn't help but speak: "Zhang Hao, where do you think Zhou Dawei will take the Zhenjiang Dragon Coffin? Will he really send it to the county for research as a cultural relic?"

"Impossible." Zhang Hao said firmly, "I know Zhou Dawei. He can't be so well-behaved. Besides, so many strange things have happened. I am more convinced that he has other plans behind the scenes."

"Then where will he take it?" Chen Wenjin asked anxiously.

"It is very likely that he was taken to a specific place, perhaps a place designated by the other party."

Zhang Hao pondered for a moment, "We must act as soon as possible and not let him succeed. Otherwise, once the Zhenjiang Dragon Coffin is lost, it will be difficult to find it again."

After discussing it, the two decided to set out immediately to catch up with Zhou Dawei. Zhang Hao called the archaeological team together with a serious look: "Everyone, get ready. We have to set out quickly. Time is running out and there can be no delay."

Fatty Wang looked at the archaeological team meaningfully, said nothing, and just nodded silently.

"Let's go!" Zhang Hao gave an order and everyone acted quickly.

However, just as they were about to leave, Zhang Hao suddenly saw a familiar figure - the woman in red clothes was one of the customers of the Yin Yang Inn.

She stood at the door of the guesthouse, looking at them deeply. Zhang Hao was shocked and couldn't help but look at her a few more times. This woman... Did she appear here to get the Zhenjiang Dragon Coffin?

Once upon a time, the woman in red was unable to enter the underworld due to the resentment in her heart, and could only wander endlessly in the world of the living. When Zhang Hao learned about this, he asked Zhang Qilin to lend a hand to help her resolve her resentment, and she was finally reincarnated, and the matter came to an end.

However, what Zhang Hao did not expect was that he met the woman in red again at the door of the guesthouse.

Zhang Hao was surprised and frowned, thinking to himself: "Why did she appear here? Is there something wrong?"

At the same time, Fatty Wang also noticed the figure of the woman in red. He couldn't suppress his surprise and turned to look at Zhang Hao.

"Brother Zhang Hao, what's going on? Why is the woman in red here? Is she waiting for you? Or has something happened? Why don't we go over and take a look? I think something must have happened, otherwise she wouldn't be waiting here."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Hao and Fatty Wang quickly walked towards the woman in red.

"Girl, are you waiting for me here on purpose?" Zhang Hao asked anxiously.

The woman in red turned around slowly upon hearing the voice, and a sinister aura rushed towards her. When she saw Zhang Hao and Fatty Wang, tears of blood actually flowed from her eyes.

The eerie and terrifying voice made people shudder: "Sir, you have to help me! I don't want to continue wandering like this, it's too painful. I beg you, please find a way to help me!"

Zhang Hao listened to the woman in red crying, and he became more and more confused. He looked up and asked, "What happened? Didn't you successfully reincarnate? Why are you still here? And what do you mean by wandering?"

The woman in red cried, "Yes, I was reincarnated successfully, but somehow, the gate of Yin and Yang seemed to be reversed. I should have stepped into the underworld to reincarnate, but now I can't return. I tried many times, but all ended in failure. Now I can only continue to wander in the world of the living. I was helpless, so I thought of the governor, I hope you can help me again, okay? I really don't want to continue wandering in the world of the living like this, living a dark life."

After listening to the woman in red's crying and hearing about the reversal of the Yin-Yang Gate, Zhang Hao suddenly remembered the phone call from the Yin-Yang Inn. He became more and more convinced that the call must have been from Lord Yan, and now what the woman in red said confirmed his guess.

Zhang Hao looked at the woman in red and sighed, "I understand. Don't worry, I will find a way to understand this matter and will do my best to solve it. You just have to be patient for now. If you need anything, come to me at any time. As long as I can do it, I will definitely help you."

After hearing what Zhang Hao said, the woman in red said in a sinister tone, "Thank you, Governor."

Fatty Wang couldn't help but sigh. He didn't expect that things had become so serious that there was no way to let these people return to the underworld.

It seems that we need to find a solution as soon as possible.

Zhang Hao also didn't want to see such a thing happen, but now the situation is so serious. Facing the crying of the woman in red, he could only comfort her temporarily. The woman in red felt a little relieved after hearing what Zhang Hao said. (End of this chapter)
