Black Fairy, the master is a female ghost

Chapter 21 Letter from the Mayor

After all the trouble, three days were gone.

Everyone was detoxified and gradually recovered.

Fortunately, Lu Xunhuan suddenly had a magic weapon, which allowed him to come and go quickly and bring back the antidote in time to save everyone's life.

During these three days, he stopped practicing and was busy taking care of everyone.

When everyone was almost well, he took Xiaoqing and the others into the mountains, picked mushrooms himself, and told them which ones were non-toxic and safe to eat.

Disciples of Dengtianmen rarely picked mushrooms in the past.

Xiaoqing heard from Senior Sister Bai that in Changfeng Town, there were delicious wild delicacies, including mushrooms.

Senior Sister Bai’s story was so vivid that everyone was drooling.

This is why Xiaoqing came up with the idea of ​​eating mushrooms, and why all this trouble happened.

After everyone's bodies recovered, Lu Xunhuan sat in the main hall again and began to condense his energy into pills.

But after he tried for another two days, he still couldn't grasp that feeling, and the immortal energy in his body was still difficult to condense into a pill.

Although everyone tried their best not to disturb him, Dengtianmen has such a small area, and the main buildings are all on this hill, and everyone's activities are also on this hill.

From time to time, the sounds of talking, laughing, and working often interrupted him.

He truly felt the difficulty of cultivating immortals. The hurdle of breaking through from the Qinxin realm to the Tengyun realm was as difficult as climbing to the sky.

This afternoon, he was in the middle of his efforts when he was interrupted again.

Senior Sister Bai came over excitedly and said at the entrance of the main hall, "I'm coming, I'm coming..."

Lu Xun Huan opened his eyes and asked, "What's coming?"

Senior Sister Bai turned around and called out to the outside of the hall, "Come, bring it over here so our Sect Master can personally review it."

Lu Xunhuan stood up and walked to the door of the hall, only to find that there were five outsiders.

There were four outsiders, carrying heavy backpacks, who set them down one by one outside the hall.

There was also a outsider who looked like an official from the government office.

Senior Sister Bai lifted the white cloth covering one of the backpacks and held up a piece of clothing: "Come and take a look. Are you satisfied?"

It turned out that the tailor shop in the town had made the sect uniforms and sent them up the mountain.

Lu Xunhuan took the dress from Senior Sister Bai and looked it over from front to back.

The blue fabric is of very good quality and the workmanship is also very good.

The sect's logo consists of a burning flame with the words "ascend to heaven" embroidered below.

The two characters "登天" are designed in the shape of a lamp with a golden flame blazing brightly.

Lu Xun Huan nodded. "Very good. We'll do it again in the future. You can settle the remaining balance with them. Also, they delivered the goods for fifty miles, crossing mountains and rivers. It must have been very hard work. Ask the kitchen to send some food so that they can eat well before returning. Also, give each of them some hard work money."

The four deliverymen hurriedly bowed to express their gratitude: "Thank you, Master Lu."

Lu Xunhuan responded, "You're welcome."

Then, he turned his gaze to another person: "Big brother, are you from the government office?"

The man saluted and said, "That's right, Master Lu has good taste."

He pulled out a letter from his pocket and handed it to Lu Xunhuan: "A letter from the mayor to the headmaster."

Lu Xunhuan opened the letter, read it, and finally understood the purpose of the mayor sending someone to deliver the letter.

Two hundred miles away from Changfeng Town, there is a mountain stronghold called Heishi Stronghold, where a group of bandits live.

Black Stone Village is located between high mountains and steep hills. It is steep and desolate, easy to defend but difficult to attack.

Heishizhai is located at the junction of Changfeng Town and the next town. Bandits came down the mountain to rob both Changfeng Town and the next town, making the people in these two places miserable.

Zhongzhou Prefecture issued several orders to Changfeng Town and the neighboring town to eliminate the bandits.

But the mountains are high and the roads are long, and the military forces of the two towns are weak. After several attempts, they were defeated every time. Not only were the bandits not wiped out, but they became stronger and more arrogant.

Now, the bandits have taken over two towns.

Changfeng Town had previously written to Dengtianmen, asking for Dengtianmen’s assistance in suppressing bandits.

But the previous Dengtianmen had never paid any attention to it.

The mayor was afraid that Lu Xunhuan would also refuse, so he promised some benefits in the letter.

Needless to say, the bounty is naturally generous.

There are three chiefs in Heishi Village. If you bring back the heads of the three chiefs, you will get a reward of three thousand taels of silver.

Even if the three leaders escape, as long as we capture the Black Stone Village and destroy the bandit's lair, we can get a reward of one thousand and two taels of silver.

The most important thing is that if the bandit suppression is successful, it will be a great achievement for the mayor. If he goes to Zhongzhou Prefecture to make arrangements, there is a great chance that he will be promoted.

After he was promoted, he naturally did not forget Dengtianmen and promised to apply for a larger territory for Dengtianmen.

After reading the letter, Lu Xunhuan looked towards the rolling mountains in the distance.

After thinking for a moment, he asked the man, "How strong are the three leaders?"

The man replied, "Anyway, our government can't defeat them. It is said that the big boss was once a disciple of a Taoist sect. Why he later became a bandit is unknown."

Lu Xun Huan then asked, "Since you can't defeat them, why didn't Zhongzhou Prefecture send troops? Also, the Zhongzhou branch of the Immortal Friends Association should have experts, right? Why didn't the Immortal Friends Association intervene in this matter?"

The man shook his head: "I don't know about that."

Lu Xun Huan thought for a while and said, "I'll think about it and give the mayor a reply in five days."

The reason why he did not agree immediately was that he took various factors into consideration.

Heishi Village is under the jurisdiction of Changfeng Town and the next town, which has brought disaster to the people in both places. It is natural for the higher authorities to order the two towns to dispatch forces to suppress the bandits.

But the problem is that they have been to the two towns several times and have always returned empty-handed, as they do not have the strength to wipe out the bandits.

The two towns were under-strength and failed to suppress the bandits, so they must have reported the situation to Zhongzhou Prefecture long ago.

Logically speaking, since the bandit problem is within the territory of Zhongzhou Prefecture and local forces are not enough to eliminate the bandits, Zhongzhou Prefecture should send troops.

However, Zhongzhou Prefecture did not send troops, but still issued a document urging the two towns to suppress the bandits.

Why is this?

Lu Xunhuan was not worried that the bandits were too powerful. He believed that the strength of the three bandit leaders would not be too high.

If the three bandit leaders were stronger than him, they would have already broken through the Qin Heart Realm and could be considered quite powerful.

If you are so powerful, why do you become a bandit? Is life in the mountains better than in the city?

of course not.

What deserves careful consideration is not the strength of the bandits, but the possibility that some invisible masterminds are involved.

If he is alone and has no worries, he can go now to eliminate harm for the people.

But behind him, there is a gate to heaven.

Now that we have just started to live a good life, do we have to put everyone under pressure again?

But since the mayor wrote the letter hoping that he could help suppress the bandits, all those high-sounding words he said while everyone was eating and drinking, would they become meaningless now that he turned around?

If this is the case, how can we expect both the black and white forces in Changfeng Town to always treat Dengtianmen with respect, and how can we ensure that everyone will always have unimpeded access to the town in the future?

After nightfall, he closed the door and took out the fan again.

A green light flashed, and the female ghost master came out again.

"How is it, have you realized it?"

Lu Xun Huan shook his head: "It's really too difficult. I've worked hard for many days, but I can't even touch the door."

The ghost girl comforted him, "Don't be impatient. Take your time. I am also a genius in the world of immortal cultivation. It took me half a year to condense my energy into a pill. As long as you pass this hurdle, the rest of the journey will be smooth sailing."

Lu Xun Huan said, "It seems that my plan to break through to the Soaring Cloud Realm in three to five days is impossible. Master, the mayor has written to me, hoping that I can help suppress the bandits. What do you think?"

The ghost girl nodded and said, "The world is vast, and it belongs to the king. The existence of the sect in the world is also a part of the king's land. If you have good relations with local officials and smooth connections with all parties, you can practice more peacefully. The strength of the bandits is generally not too strong, so you can take action."

Lu Xunhuan touched his chin and said, "Local forces have gone there several times, but they have always failed. Logically speaking, Zhongzhou Prefecture should have sent troops under such circumstances."

The ghost girl mused, "But in fact, they didn't send troops, right? In this world, not everyone can be your friend, and not everyone can be your enemy. Always keep justice in mind, and just do what is right."

These words were like a bright light in the darkness.

Lu Xunhuan nodded: "Master, I understand."
