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

Before Zhang Hao could arrange things on earth, the underworld sent the Black and White Impermanence to deliver a message.

"Many dead souls have come to the underworld, most of them are filled with resentment. There are also many wandering ghosts in the human world who don't know they are dead. We need to bring them back one by one. Thank you for your hard work, sir."

What they meant was that they wanted Zhang Hao to do all the work above ground and underground.

His own inn was still in a mess, but now he had to deal with other things.

Zhang Hao was extremely overwhelmed for a while, running between the underworld and the inn. Sometimes he even had to capture the ghosts wandering near the inn and bring them back to the underworld.

Fortunately, with the help of Han Shan, Hao Xie and others, Zhang Hao can barely sleep for two hours a day.

"Fortunately, I can still sleep two hours a day, otherwise I would have to report to you in advance." Zhang Hao made a joke during his free time.

Lord Yama was flipping through the Book of Life and Death, but he couldn't smile and his face was very solemn.

Seeing this, Zhang Hao couldn't laugh anymore and asked, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"

"These people died unjustly and have a lot of resentment. Generally speaking, they need to go to the judge to count their merits, but the judge is too busy now. Moreover, some people's wishes are very small, just to say a few words to their families. There is no need to add pressure to the judge. He hasn't rested for several days, and ghosts will also be tired." said the King of Hell.

Zhang Hao asked: "So what do you mean?"

"Go to the earthquake zone, find the families of these people, and explain the aftermath to them."

This job doesn't look difficult, but the number is huge. Zhang Hao didn't know this at the inn before, but after arriving here, he was shocked just by seeing the number of deaths.

After taking the thick stack of papers from Yan Jun's hand, even if Zhang Hao wanted to refuse, he had to agree when he thought of those people who died in vain.

On the way to the earthquake zone, Zhang Hao brought Hao Xie with him because he felt that Hao Xie had an easy-going personality and it might be more appropriate for him to convey some information than himself who was exhausted.

"How many people were killed?" Hao Xie asked while driving.

Zhang Hao hesitated for a moment and did not answer directly. Instead, he said, "Let's finish the task at hand first."

Hao Xie did not let go of this topic. He gripped the steering wheel tightly and continued, "I saw that there are at least more than 10,000 wishes... These are only the people with less resentment who have not turned into evil spirits. And these are just their simplest wishes. There must be more that are more difficult to achieve... Just these, there are more than 10,000!"

Zhang Hao remained silent, he knew Hao Xie could guess the general idea.

"Don't worry about it for now. When you get there, you'll find that the number of casualties is actually not important... This is a catastrophe for the entire human world."

Hao Xie frowned, he noticed the difference in Zhang Hao's choice of words.

Zhang Hao said "it will be a catastrophe" instead of "it is a catastrophe". Does Zhang Hao think that there will be more troubles to come?
Hao Xie didn't dare to think too much about it, he could only shake his head and force himself to throw these thoughts out of his mind.

After arriving at the earthquake zone, it has been closely protected by soldiers and police, and rescue work is in full swing. In order to prevent bad media from infiltrating, no volunteers will be accepted to participate in the rescue this time. Zhang Hao and Hao Xie cannot go deep into it, so they can only use necromancy at the edge of the earthquake zone to summon the people they want to find according to their birth and death dates.

Although this method is troublesome and labor-intensive, there is currently no other solution.

Hao Xie couldn't see, but Zhang Hao could see that the streets were full of wronged souls wandering everywhere... Most of these ghosts were unconscious, wandering around the streets with numb movements, not knowing where they were going or what to do, and had no reaction to anything around them.

"Are there a lot of ghosts on the streets?" Hao Xie asked Zhang Hao when he was resting.

"Yes, a lot." Zhang Hao replied.

"Then what should I do?" Hao Xie asked again.

"You don't have to do anything. It's enough for me to watch this scene alone." Zhang Hao said.

"Did I come here with you just to help you read the letters?" Hao Xie was a little dissatisfied.

"I am very tired and don't have the energy to talk to the families of the deceased...and many of the families of the deceased have also died. In fact, many letters cannot be sent," Zhang Hao explained.

Hao Xie looked down at the thick stack of letters in his hand. When he thought about the more letters in his backpack, he felt heavy-hearted and a little absurd.

"Aren't there ghosts and gods in this world? Could it be that the ghosts and gods did not foresee such a big disaster?" Hao Xie asked.

"Judging from the reaction of Lord Yama, this was probably unexpected... We are still lucky. We just need to complete the job in the shortest possible time. All the underworld officials are busy. Even the powerful judge has not rested for several days. He has been calculating merits and trying his best to ensure that those who died can be reborn into a good life in the next life." Zhang Hao replied.

After hearing what Zhang Hao said, Hao Xie turned his head and looked at him, then said with a smile: "You said it too officially... It's like someone taught you to say it that way."

Zhang Hao did not respond, but he had already admitted it in his heart.

In fact, he was deceiving himself, or paralyzing himself. Zhang Hao was no less angry than Hao Xie. He witnessed all this and wanted to use his own life to exchange for the lives of these people.

It’s so painful, it’s really so painful.

I am just a mortal, but I have to shoulder the responsibility of saving the world. Now I have to watch the suffering of this world. Even if I am a god, I won’t be so tired, right?
"No one asked me to say this. Okay, let's continue to summon spirits." Zhang Hao said.

“Forget it!” Hao Xie suddenly stood up and threw all the letters at Zhang Hao. “You’ll get exhausted if you keep searching one by one like this!”

As soon as he finished speaking, a person - no, a ghost stood in front of them.

Hao Xie didn't see it, but Zhang Hao saw it.

"You can see me, can't you?" the girl asked cautiously. "I know I'm dead. You can really see me, can't you?"

The girl's eyes were full of hope and fear of disappointment.

"Well, I can see you. Do you have any wish?" Zhang Hao replied.

When Hao Xie heard Zhang Hao's words, he immediately calmed down and did not disturb them. He knew that Zhang Hao must have seen something that he could not see, so he stood quietly by and sorted out the letters that had just been scattered.

"I want to find my mother...I don't know if my mother has been rescued. I can take you to my house, can you help me see if my mother has been rescued?" said the girl.

"But that's a restricted area, we can't go in." Zhang Hao's words made the girl's eyes full of disappointment. The deep feeling of loss was like a thorn that hurt Zhang Hao's heart.

"Forget it, the worst that can happen is that I can just leave my body and go in to take a look." Zhang Hao suggested.

However, Hao Xie immediately objected: "No, this is too risky."

"Why not?" Zhang Hao asked.

"No, this is not possible. What if someone takes advantage of the situation? You have to think of another way." Hao Xie's attitude was extremely firm, and his eyes were full of resistance. Zhang Hao had no choice but to turn to the girl and said, "Tell me the exact location, and I will find a way to get there."

"But I'm very worried now. Can't you just come over now? I've been looking for a long time, and you're the only one who can see me." There was anxiety in the girl's voice.

Zhang Hao was silent for a moment, but still shook his head: "Sorry, I have to consider the overall situation. I can't rashly leave my body without completing the task. That might waste a precious opportunity."

After hearing this, the girl curled her lips into a sarcastic smile and then turned and left.

Hao Xie watched the girl's figure gradually disappearing into the distance, and he knew in his heart that she had left.

"Don't think too much and let's get down to business." Zhang Hao took a deep breath and started the work of summoning spirits again.

Not long after the girl left, her figure began to stagger. Her soul energy was no longer enough to support her to continue wandering in this world.

Recalling her experiences over the past few days, she had witnessed countless confused souls being taken away, while she had been hiding with her remaining consciousness. The purpose of staying here was to see her mother being rescued with her own eyes.

She still remembers that when the disaster struck, her mother protected her with her body...

"Do you feel wronged? The only person who can see you refused to help you." A voice suddenly sounded.

The girl turned around and saw a woman with bangs and long hair standing behind her. Although she was wearing a school uniform, she looked haggard.

The girl looked around to make sure that the living person's eyes were indeed on her.

"Are you talking to me? Can you see me?" the girl asked.

The woman did not answer, and continued, "He just promised to help you find your mother by leaving his body, but he changed his mind because of two words from others. Tell me, isn't this kind of person despicable? He clearly has the ability to help you, but he chose not to save you... Your mother is still buried under the rubble!"

The woman's words touched the girl's heart.

"Then can you help me find my mother? You are the second person who can hear me, I beg you!" the girl pleaded.

"I can tell you that your mother is dead just now," the woman said calmly.

"...What?" The girl was stunned.

She wanted to cry, but as she was already a ghost, she couldn't shed tears and could only show an expression that showed she wanted to cry but couldn't.

"Because that man rejected you, your mother was suffocated to death in the ruins just now. If it had been two minutes earlier, she might not have died!" the woman continued.

"What? No, don't!" The girl grabbed her hair and denied it over and over again, unable to accept this fact.

"It's not like this, it's not like this... Help!" The girl knelt on the ground, hammering her head frantically, but she didn't feel any pain at all.

The woman stood quietly by and waited until the girl gradually calmed down. Then she walked up to her and gently helped her up.

"Do you want revenge? Revenge on the murderer who killed your mother!" the woman asked.

The girl raised her head, and the flames of hatred burned in her originally numb and empty eyes.

"I want it!" the girl said firmly.

The woman smiled and stood up. "Go, tell those wandering ghosts about your misfortune. Tell them that if they feel their death is unfair, they must rise up and fight back! Make as much noise as you can! Go now!"

The girl turned and ran away, while the woman stayed where she was and laughed.

"Hey! Lady over there! There may be aftershocks here, don't stay here! What's your name? Are you a reporter?" A policeman came over and asked.

The woman turned around and said with a smile: "My name is Zhang Mengyao, and I'm a college student. I heard about the disaster here and felt very sad, so I came here to pay my respects."

"Okay, okay, it's good enough as long as you have the intention. Let's go quickly and don't cause trouble here. Everyone is busy with emergency rescue, just go back to school and study hard." said the police.

"Okay, thank you, police brother." The woman responded obediently.

"Let's go!" the police urged.

Zhang Mengyao turned and left with a cruel smile on her lips.

At the same time, Zhang Hao in Zhaoling suddenly stopped and opened his eyes in confusion.

"What's wrong?" Hao Xie asked.

"Something is wrong." Zhang Hao frowned.

"What's wrong?" Hao Xie asked.

Zhang Hao stood up and looked around. He saw the black evil spirit spreading visibly. He said anxiously, "Why is the evil spirit here getting stronger? Those ghosts who lost consciousness just now seem to have suddenly developed resentment and evil spirits..."

"Evil spirit?" Hao Xie repeated Zhang Hao's words, his eyes full of confusion.

"That's right, it's the evil spirit that ghosts carry. Normally, the evil spirit on ordinary ghosts will not be so strong. But now, this evil spirit has covered up the vitality around it. If this goes on, this place may become a breeding ground for ghosts!" Zhang Hao explained with a frown.

"Raising a ghost? What does that mean?" Hao Xie asked.

Zhang Hao took a deep breath and continued, "Ghosts that stay in one place for a long time will absorb the vitality of the place and increase the evil spirit. Over time, the feng shui of the place will be completely destroyed. At that time, both the living and the ghosts will suffer. The power of the ghosts will increase greatly, and the living will continue to have bad luck. The mildest ones will get sick, and the worst ones will be destroyed."

After hearing this, Hao Xie frowned: "Is it so serious?"

"Yes, it's that serious. And you see, the evil spirit here is still getting stronger. We must find the source as soon as possible and drive away those lingering ghosts." Zhang Hao's tone was very serious.

Although Hao Xie was a little puzzled, he nodded: "But aren't those ghosts already dead? Why are they getting stronger?"

"This is the scary thing about raising ghosts. Some people deliberately leave these ghosts in this place and use Feng Shui techniques to continuously strengthen their evil spirits. When they reach a certain level, these ghosts will become very powerful ghosts. At that time, whether it is to hurt others or to protect themselves, it will become their weapon. Moreover, this method will not reduce the life span and good karma of the practitioner." Zhang Hao explained.

Hao Xie was silent for a moment. He had never thought that there would be such evil magic in the world.

"So what should we do now?" he asked. (End of this chapter)
