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

After Hao Xie's persuasion, Zhang Hao finally agreed to let Huo Xiuxiu stay. However, he didn't want her to become a formal employee of the inn, but just let her be an assistant. If she has the ability to understand and learn something, that would be the best; if she doesn't have any talent, Zhang Hao plans to let her go back after this busy period.

After all, it's too dangerous here.

The sect we are going to today is called Tianshan Sect. It is located in the Northeast region. In recent years, it has been built into a very modern Taoist college. The students all have academic records, and the teachers who teach here are very mysterious.

Zhang Hao knew a few of them, and they were indeed talented people. However, these talented people were almost wiped out the night the Demon Lord arrived. In order to protect the students, the teachers sealed the students in the barrier and went out alone to fight the Demon Lord.

Later, these people either disappeared or died, the barrier was broken, and these students who were placed with high hopes also suffered heavy casualties. Tianshan College suffered a severe blow.

There are many sects like this, and almost everyone who comes to find Zhang Hao encounters such a misfortune.

When Zhang Hao and Huo Xiuxiu arrived at the Tianshan School's Deep Mountain Academy, the place had been almost cleaned up. There were no scattered corpses and limbs on the ground, and no bloodstains, but the smell of blood in the air could not be ignored.

That is the bloody smell left by evil forces. Even people who don't understand will subconsciously feel uneasy when they smell it.

Huo Xiuxiu frowned, covered her nose and said, "Although I can't see anything now, there are still many things left here."

"There are only resentments." Zhang Hao said as he walked forward, "The souls and spiritual power have been devoured completely. There is nothing left here. There are only the resentments left by the souls before they were devoured, just like the sound of a wild goose passing by."

Huo Xiuxiu was unable to utter a word. Although she had prepared herself mentally, she still felt sad when she saw this scene.

To Zhang Hao and the real murderer, the process of one life disappearing after another seemed to be just a passing sound, like the sound of a passing wild goose.

Without even looking, Zhang Hao could guess what Huo Xiuxiu was thinking.

"Do you think I'm a little cold-blooded?"

"That's not the case, I just think... maybe you are used to these things?"

"I'm not used to it. These were once vibrant lives, but now they are nowhere to be found. Their deaths are like a knife that pierces my heart. I want to defeat the Demon Lord more than anyone else, but I'm not strong enough now. On the one hand, I blame myself, on the other hand, I'm angry, and finally I feel unwilling and helpless."

Huo Xiuxiu nodded, said nothing more, and went forward to interact with the people from Tianshan College. After explaining the purpose of their visit, they began to set up the scene.

After all, this is what an assistant should do. Zhang Hao only needs to do the part that he cannot do at the end.

“In order to avoid causing social panic, we have reported the matter to our superiors, but the police never came, so we have to deal with it ourselves… As for the family members, we have already paid a lot of money, really all we have, and we really have no money to compensate you… Can I have these talisman papers?” The dean of the Taoist school was holding a large stack of talisman papers in his hand. These were rare treasures at ordinary times, but now they were like a pile of waste paper and were used as a condition of exchange.

Moreover, we don’t know whether the other party is willing to accept this exchange.

Huo Xiuxiu did not immediately answer the principal's request, but turned to ask Zhang Hao who was checking the venue: "Do you think it's okay?"

"You are the assistant, you decide." Zhang Hao said.

Huo Xiuxiu pondered for a moment and took out her phone: "How much do you need for the reward? I'll transfer the money to you."

This result made Zhang Hao feel helpless and funny.

"How much money do you have to help them out?"

"I don't know how much you want, but I'm rich."

"Come on!" Zhang Hao came over, pressed Huo Xiuxiu's hand, and said to the principal, "Just give me a few. This can be considered an exchange. I can't work for nothing, otherwise I'd owe you a favor, which is hard to repay."

Looking at the principal's expression, it was clear that he couldn't hold on for much longer, so Zhang Hao didn't need to embarrass him. In fact, Zhang Hao could have refused to charge for such a thing, but he was afraid that he would have too many merits on his shoulders, which might cause more trouble in the future.

The principal had long been aware of Zhang Hao's style of doing things, but he did not expect that he would actually agree. He even wanted to kneel down to Zhang Hao directly.

Zhang Hao dodged quickly: "Please don't do this. In this era, there are not many people who are willing to promote Taoist culture. Although we are not from the same faction, we are from the same world after all. Today we are mutually beneficial. I will help you drive the corpses, and you will give me the blessing spell. Both sides will be considered to have great merits and will cancel each other out."

The principal understood what Zhang Hao meant, nodded, and no longer insisted.

It was just right that they didn't want it. Selling these things could temporarily make up for the college's deficit. After all, many families of students felt that the compensation was not enough and wanted to cause trouble.

Zhang Hao came to the hall at the back of the academy. The bodies of the students and teachers who had died in the previous accident were all here. Even the broken limbs were placed on the same bed, one person per bed.

Looking at the bodies under the white cloth, Zhang Hao could feel that almost none of them were intact. Although he had seen this kind of scene many times, he still couldn't help but clench his fists tightly.

"Principal, where are we going to take these bodies?"

"It's in the back hill. The grave has been dug and is waiting for us to go over."

"Well, let's get started."

Zhang Hao walked to the first small bed. The body on the bed seemed to be a woman. The body was very thin and torn in half, without a head or arms. The strong resentment emanating from the body made Huo Xiuxiu feel a little uncomfortable.

Zhang Hao noticed Huo Xiuxiu's discomfort while searching for the whale fall. Without even looking up, he said, "If you feel uncomfortable, go and rest nearby. It will take more than a day or two to get used to this kind of scene."

“No, I want to learn these too.”

"I won't necessarily teach you these skills."

"I know you might be worried that I can't handle it, but since I'm here, it means I'm mentally prepared."

Zhang Hao said nothing more and lowered his head to concentrate on sewing the corpse.

It may be difficult to understand that the meridians of a corpse need to be sewn together, but if you imagine a person as a leaf, after the leaf is cut into many pieces, it needs to be sewn back together according to the original position, and the veins of the leaf must completely overlap, so that the leaf thinks that it has never been broken, and can even operate through spiritual energy, then it is considered successful.

Although Zhang Hao knows this skill, he still feels tired after doing it day after day. In addition, his mental state is not very good now.

While looking for a main thread, Zhang Hao went to the other side, but couldn't find the interface.

"Strange, where is it?"

After searching for a long time without success, Zhang Hao was about to give up and ignore it for the time being when Huo Xiuxiu suddenly pointed to a place and said, "Here, it's blocked so you can't see it. I can see it from this angle."

Zhang Hao quickly lowered his head to look, and sure enough, there was a vein interface hidden under the small piece of bone.

Zhang Hao subconsciously raised his head and looked at Huo Xiuxiu with some surprise. "Have you ever done anything like this before?"

"No, I just watched you do it for a while and I know what you are looking for."

"But how can you pinpoint which vein it is?"

"Because that one is the most suitable. I took a look and only these two look the same. The others are either too small or too big." This is what Huo Xiuxiu thought in her heart, and she didn't know if saying this would make Zhang Hao unhappy.

Zhang Hao lowered his head, was silent for a while, and suddenly laughed.

"I suddenly realized that you are a genius. You are not afraid of such things, and you pointed out which vein should be connected right away." Seeing that Zhang Hao was not angry, Huo Xiuxiu also smiled gently.

"That's fine. I was just worried about whether I had caused you trouble." Zhang Hao stood up and looked at Huo Xiuxiu seriously. "I found out that I was wrong. You are so talented. If I keep you away just to protect you, it may not be fair to you. You are already prepared. If I want to teach you the art of suturing corpses, are you willing to learn?"

Most people would have run away in fear if they encountered such a situation, but Huo Xiuxiu was not an ordinary person. Her family was in this line of work, and they had long been open-minded about matters of life and death.

Huo Xiuxiu knelt down in front of Zhang Hao without hesitation.

"Master, please bow to me as a disciple."

Zhang Hao nodded with satisfaction, then turned his attention back to the body on the bed.

"Watch carefully. I won't teach you too much today. Just watch me carefully."

"Yes."

Huo Xiuxiu got into the role quickly and learned quickly. She was able to answer every question Zhang Hao occasionally asked her. She is truly a genius.

By the time they got to the third corpse, Zhang Hao found that Huo Xiuxiu could basically answer all the questions.

Huo Xiuxiu realized that she had almost learned all this simple knowledge, so she asked, "Can I try it?"

"Not yet. You've only learned a little bit. In fact, when you sew corpses, you need to add your own spiritual energy, just like giving them vitality."

The corpse is already dead, what vitality does it need? This question lingered in Huo Xiuxiu's mind, but she finally said nothing and nodded obediently.

At noon, the principal brought them food. When he passed by these students, he seemed to feel a little sorry for them and didn't even look at them.

Zhang Hao asked the principal: "Principal, these students have been following you for a long time. Don't you even look at them now?"

"What are you still looking at? If you keep looking at them, I will never forget their faces in my life... I failed to protect the students, which is a heinous crime. After I finish dealing with things here, I will die to atone for my sin."

Anyone who has experienced such a big thing might be unable to get over it for a while. Zhang Hao has heard many words of seeking suicide in recent days, so he didn't say anything for a while. He just nodded and continued to work.

After the principal left, Huo Xiuxiu suddenly said to Zhang Hao, "I think this principal seems a little abnormal. When he came in just now, although he was afraid that he could not forget the student's face and blamed himself, he was unwilling to even touch it. I don't know whether it was out of disgust or fear."

Zhang Hao glanced at Huo Xiuxiu and said nothing. He just motioned for her to be quiet and continued to work.

When it was almost dark, everything was finally done. All we had to do now was wait for Hao Xie and the others to come and drive away the corpses.

Now they have a clear division of labor, and Hao Xie and the others will never allow Zhang Hao to waste his energy on other things, so they have to rush over no matter how far he is.

After calling Hao Xie, Zhang Hao saw Huo Xiuxiu squatting next to a flower bed, looking at something.

"What are you looking at?"

"I always feel that this place is full of evil spirits."

"It is certain that the evil aura is strong. After all, the Demon Lord has been here and is still here..." Zhang Hao didn't know what tone to use to describe what the Demon Lord had done. He could only say, "After doing that kind of thing, there should be all kinds of bad auras here."

"What about this?"

Huo Xiuxiu turned over a brick in the flower bed and found a stone underneath.

There was a swastika carved on the stone, but it was upside down, exactly the same as what Han Shan saw when he woke up before.

Thinking that this thing could transform good fortune into bad luck, Zhang Hao grabbed the stone in his hand and held it tightly with such force that he seemed to crush it into powder.

"This thing again..."

Huo Xiuxiu didn't understand the origin of this thing, but judging from Zhang Hao's expression, this thing must have a deep hatred for him.

“Is this thing supposed to be here?”

"No...it was placed here by the Demon Lord."

"The Demon Lord has already wreaked havoc here, why is he still doing this unnecessary thing?"

This sentence suddenly made Zhang Hao feel enlightened.

Hao Xie arrived two days later, delayed by some trivial matters on the way. When he arrived, he found that Zhang Hao had almost completed all the work, with a guilty look on his face.

"Sorry, I should have come earlier. I really didn't expect to encounter so much trouble on the road..." It turned out that he was obstructed by someone with ulterior motives on the road. If he hadn't been so smart and careful, he probably wouldn't be standing here now.

"It's okay, I'm glad you're here. You guys help me clean up, I might need a rest." After saying that, Zhang Hao lay down on the stone pier next to him, put his hands under his head, and fell asleep quickly. He was really exhausted these days.

Huo Xiuxiu had almost mastered the art of corpse-driving in the past two days with Zhang Hao, which showed that she was a genius. When Hao Xie saw Huo Xiuxiu handling these things skillfully, he was stunned.

"I didn't call you here to drive corpses, did I?" Hao Xie was a little confused.

"I know it's to be Zhang Hao's assistant. You don't want me to learn this because you don't want me to be sent to other places to perform tasks in the future, right?" Huo Xiuxiu revealed Hao Xie's thoughts.

An assistant is an assistant. If she has other responsibilities, what's the point of calling her here? Hao Xie was about to explain, but Huo Xiuxiu interrupted him with a wave of her hand.

"Okay, Mr. Han has decided to teach me the art of sewing corpses. He left me here as a test for me. If any corpse has a problem during the transportation process, I have to stay here to deal with it. If I don't have this ability, how can Mr. Han dare to sleep peacefully?" Huo Xiuxiu's words made sense, and Hao Xie stopped struggling and turned around to concentrate on driving the corpses.
