Black Fairy, the master is a female ghost

One hundred miles north of Zhongzhou City, amidst the mountains, there is a small town called Huilong Town.

This is the only way from Zhongzhou City to Kyoto City, and Huilong Town, located in the mountains, has become a good place for traveling merchants to rest.

Zhongzhou Prefecture sent four yamen runners to pull the coffin in a horse-drawn carriage and send it to Kyoto City.

But the mountains were steep and the road was winding, and it took them two days to reach the town.

Lu Xunhuan controlled the golden hoop, rushed over at night, and quietly entered the town.

Then, he secretly checked every inn from south to north along Huilong Town.

An incense stick of time later, he found the coffin still on the carriage frame in the backyard of the last inn in the north of the town.

He breathed a sigh of relief, took out his mask and covered his face.

Then, he lit the tinder with a calm manner, cut the ropes that bound the coffin, and opened the coffin lid.

There was a corpse lying in the coffin.

He carefully identified it for a moment, and yes, it was the old man in the prison.

His actions naturally alarmed the four yamen runners who were escorting the coffin inside the inn. Someone shouted, "Who's moving the coffin?"

After a burst of hurried footsteps, four yamen runners ran out of the inn.

Lu Xunhuan had already carried the old man's body on his shoulders. When the four men rushed out, he turned around, jumped up, and jumped over the wall of the inn.

When the four men saw someone stealing the body, they hurriedly opened the back door, shouted and chased after them.

"You bold thief, there's nothing to steal from a corpse. Put it down quickly."

Lu Xunhuan ignored them, carrying the old man and running faster and faster.

The four yamen runners chased him all the way, shouting, from inside the town to outside the town, alarming many people.

Although the two men didn't talk much in the prison at that time, the old man told Lu Xunhuan a big secret before he left.

Although he had never had the spare time to go to the bottom of the water under the bridge in Beixi Village to find out what was going on, since the old man had finally told him the secret, he could not just watch the old man's body being sent to Kyoto City.

After death, people are buried in the ground.

Whether it is the world in the previous life or the world in the present life, there is such a folk custom.

It can be imagined that if he did not take the old man's body away, once the body was transported to Kyoto City, it would probably have to be dissected by the royal family.

He got the old man's big secret, which was equivalent to the old man doing him a favor. As the saying goes, one should repay a favor, so he naturally hoped that the old man could rest in peace.

After leaving Huilong Town and shaking off his pursuers, he took out the golden hoop, controlled it, and sped away at lightning speed.

In Zhongzhou City, in a small courtyard in the south of the city, Qingdai was woken up by someone in her daze.

Lu Xunhuan whispered in her ear, "Get up and dig a hole."

When she rubbed her eyes and followed Lu Xunhuan to the reception room, she discovered that the body of an old man was lying in the room.

Lu Xun Huan handed her a shovel and said, "Dig a bigger hole in the room behind where the junk is stored."

After saying this, he hurried off to look for something that could serve as a coffin for the old man.

After a cup of tea, he carried a wardrobe to the utility room at the back and started digging a hole quickly with Qingdai.

On the second day, the Zhongzhou government office seemed to be struck by a thunderbolt, shocking dozens of officials.

The four yamen runners rushed back overnight and reported that the old man's body had been stolen.

The prefect inquired in detail about what happened before and after the body was stolen, but after asking, everyone in the hall was confused.

All they knew was that the person who stole the body was a man, and he might have a high level of cultivation, because he could easily fly over the courtyard wall carrying the old man's body.

Apart from that, no one knows anything.

The prefect was in a state of panic, as if a disaster had happened and he was unable to sit still.

The body was stolen, and many people in Huilong Town heard the noise. This matter must have spread to Kyoto City.

What should I do if the higher-ups investigate?

At this time, outside the south gate of Zhongzhou City, Lu Xunhuan organized 10,000 soldiers to form a battle array, pretending to attack the enemy city.

The "woooo" sound of the horn resounded through the sky.

After the horn sounded, the rumbling sound of war drums began.

Lu Xunhuan stared at the southern wall of Zhongzhou City and drew his sword. "Send the order, war cry."

Beside him, on a three-meter-high wooden platform, the soldiers waved red and blue flags in response to his orders.

"Roar……"

"Qiang Qiang Qiang..."

"Roar……"

"Qiang Qiang Qiang..."

……

The war cry was earth-shaking.

After shouting for more than ten times, Lu Xunhuan gave another order: "Pass the order, attack the city."

On the wooden platform, the command flag was waving.

Amid the shouts of the soldiers, the infantry attacked.

Ten columns carried ten sets of ladders, and each set of ladders was followed by soldiers holding swords and shields, rushing forward.

Soon, a ladder arrived at the foot of the city wall. There was an iron barb on the top of the tall ladder, which hooked firmly on the city wall.

Then, to the sound of drums, the soldiers began to climb the ladders.

Lu Xun Huan watched for a while and then gave the order: "Sound the horn, retreat."

The command flag was waved and some soldiers struck the gong.

Soon, the ten columns of soldiers who had climbed the city came back carrying ladders.

Lu Xunhuan stood on the wooden platform and said loudly, "Just now, the third column was the fastest and was the first to reach the city wall. It also took the shortest time for all 100 soldiers to climb the wall."

He changed the subject: "But even if the third column is the fastest, it's still unqualified. It takes too long."

He looked towards the city wall and said, "Keep practicing. If one day doesn't work, try two days. If two days doesn't work, try three days."

As the command flag was waved, the soldiers carried the ladders, shouted, and rushed towards the city wall again.

Lu Xun Huan turned around and looked at the archers in the back: "Archers, collectively turn around and head to the open area three miles ahead to practice shooting in turns."

"Turn around and march in step."

Amidst the dust, the archers marched in neat steps, three miles to the rear.

After watching the archers go away, Lu Xun Huan said to the cavalry, "Cavalry, today we're practicing slashing targets at full speed. Scarecrows, are you ready?"

A soldier reported: "Captain, the 10,000 scarecrows to the west of the city have been deployed."

Lu Xunhuan nodded and said, "Send the cavalry a message: enemy troops have been spotted west of the city, attack."

The command flags were waving, the war horses were neighing, the iron hooves were rumbling, the earth was shaking, and the sky was filled with dust.

A thousand cavalrymen, armed with long swords, rushed towards the west of the city at lightning speed.

Lu Xunhuan summoned the first-level magic weapon, controlled it, and followed the cavalry team.

He shouted: "Speed, kill the enemy as quickly as possible, everyone roar, kill..."

A thousand cavalrymen galloped forward, shouting, "Kill..."

Outside the city, soldiers were training, with drums beating and shouts of killing shaking the sky. It was very lively.

In the city government office, a group of people looked worried and anxious.

But there is nothing we can do about our anxiety; it is all in vain.

At noon, the prefect waved his hand weakly and said, "Everyone, disperse. I'm going to check on the training of the Left Battalion."

In the utility room of the small courtyard in the south of the city, Qingdai was busy until noon before she completely filled the ground.

Then, she moved a lot of miscellaneous items into the house and piled them up, and that was the end of the matter.

Last night, the two of them dug a deep pit overnight and placed the wardrobe down.

Lu Xunhuan dressed the old man in clean clothes, wrapped him in several layers of cloth, and then put him in the closet. He then closed the door and began to bury him in the soil.

Since it was almost dawn, he handed the unfinished business to Qingdai, took a shower, went out for breakfast, and led his troops out of the city for training as if nothing had happened.

After Qingdai finished all this, she quickly took a shower. Then, she was so sleepy and tired that she didn't even bother to eat. She just wanted to get some sleep first.
