Zhuo Jingning hid the ghost sword in his sleeve. The sword was not long, less than a foot, but it was easy to carry. Then he said to someone to visit friends and left the county government alone, rode the old horse and disappeared into Wencheng County in casual clothes.

At this time, it was not yet sunset, and it was the hot season again. The ground was extremely hot under the sun. Not to mention ghosts, living people didn’t want to go out.

So, Zhuo Jingning was waiting.

He was waiting on the necessary road to the place where the five ghosts hidden in the mountains. Whether it was the ghosts under Xue Fengjun's men who took action first or Lu Daoren and others who took the initiative, Xue Fengjun's side would retreat, he would definitely pass through this place.

A ghost in a wounded state, a living person, can heal their wounds well. When they smell the breath of a living person, they may find it difficult to control themselves.

Zhuo Jingning is not greedy. As long as he takes down a ghost, he will retreat immediately.

Moreover, he made sufficient preparations.

He carried the remaining stone ginseng with him.

As for why Zhuo Jingning could conclude that Xue Fengjun would retreat, this was what Zhuo Jingning judged from Daoren Lu's attitude.

If you don’t take Xue Fengjun seriously, you will keep talking about Old Mrs. Xue. If this Taoist Lu doesn’t have the confidence to say that?

Even the name of Daoren Lu was used.

And at that time, he only described a rough idea. The female ghost under Xue Fengjun, that is, the ghost lady Tian Wen, changed her face and said, "They are not watching the gates of ghosts." This means that the ghosts such as Daoren Lu did not just make a sceptical name, but were very famous in this ghost world.

Zhuo Jingning sat next to a bonfire, and the old horse was on one side. Because of the flames, he half-squinted his eyes and shook his tail from time to time.

During this period, this old horse followed Zhuo Jingning and was the best in food and drink. Compared with last year's thin and thin, it was obviously much stronger.

Suddenly, Zhuo Jingning heard something coming from the forest.

He looked over and shouted, "Who?"

"That scholar, old woman, I accidentally got lost. Can you send me back? My grandson is a high-ranking official in the court, and I can let him repay you well."

A slightly soft voice from the place where Zhuo Jingning looked, making people feel like they were bathed in spring breeze and subconsciously lowered their guard.

Zhuo Jingning was stunned when he heard this, and then smiled and said, "Of course..."

Before he finished speaking, he punished him.

"Kill the difficult ghost Xue Fengjun, physique 1."

As his own strengthening began, Zhuo Jingning looked confused.

"What a ghost?"

The punishment is as always... ignore this issue of equivalent nonsense.

Zhuo Jingning recovered and widened his eyes, "Jun Xue Fengjun... is it... gone?"

He looked incredible.

Could it be that Xue Fengjun's subordinates were wiped out?

Zhuo Jingning looked at the direction where Daoren Lu’s five ghosts were, hesitated for a moment, but chose to go back. After getting the fourth level of physical fitness, there is no need to stay here again.

Moreover, he has more important things to do.

He reached out to greet the old horse, turned his head and saw that there was no sign of the horse.

The corner of his mouth twitched, Zhuo Jingning stepped on the bonfire, returned along the way, walked three or four miles, and finally saw a horse shadow. The horse also noticed him and immediately trotted over.

Isn't it that old horse?

Rolling his eyes, Zhuo Jingning turned his horse back. Without him waving the reins, the old horse ran back quickly. He only took a meal and appeared at the county government gate.

It was not too late when Zhuo Jingning came back. Li Wanshu had not yet fallen asleep and was talking to the little fox in the little fox's room.

Zhuo Jingning used the excuse to send Li Wanshu away, and then directly admitted that Xue Fengjun was dead.

"Xue Fengjun relies on a strange thing to make your father afraid. Now Xue Fengjun is gone, this strange thing... will never fall into the hands of Daoren Lu and others, or be taken away by them. This thing must be left in Qingzhou!" Zhuo Jingning said seriously.

The little fox could naturally realize what the consequences would be if the strange thing that the old fox feared was taken away from Qingzhou. She said nothing, and her figure turned into a blur in front of Zhuo Jingning and disappeared.

Zhuo Jingning closed the door and walked out.

"Have Qing'er gone to bed?" Li Wanshu asked.

"Yes, go to bed first. I have something to deal with. If it is done, my county magistrate, who is famous and untrue, can change it." Zhuo Jingning said.

If he could succeed that strange thing and gain a foothold in Qingzhou, he would have the confidence to face the old fox and gradually erode the land of Qingzhou.

After all, the Qing court was just a nominal ruler in Qingzhou, and the one who really held power was Xue Fengjun.

It’s just that Xue Fengjun gave enough face to the Qing court, or perhaps because he was concerned about the ancestors of the Qing court, so that there were civil and military officials in Qingzhou.

He could have turned this place into his own country before the Qing court reacted!

However, all this plan requires you to get that strange thing!

Otherwise, I would have made plans and escaped to a place where the old fox could not find it.

The little fox went there until half an hour later, with a dusty face, like a pastoral cat just crawling out of the earthen stove. She appeared directly in Zhuo Jingning's study.

Zhuo Jingning had been waiting in the study for the little fox to come back.

"Are you okay?" Zhuo Jingning asked.

The little fox blinked: "It's okay, just an ancient tomb collapsed and was covered in mud."

"Ancient Tomb?"

"I found the ghost lady of Tian Wen. I saw her sneaky at that time, so I followed her. Then she entered a tunnel, which was an underground palace, which was Xue Fengjun's mansion. As a result, Xue Fengjun's subordinates had already started fighting for Xue Fengjun's relics."

"There are other ancient tombs under this palace. For some reason, an ancient tomb below suddenly collapsed..." The little fox rolled his eyes helplessly.

Zhuo Jingning asked, "What's the matter?"

"Everyone ran away desperately because Xue Fengjun's palace also collapsed."

“…”

"What is that strange thing?" Zhuo Jingning asked her.

"I heard it is very heavy. I have been buried in Xue Fengjun's tomb. Many powerful ghosts cannot move together."

"Where is Xue Fengjun's tomb?"

"It's in that underground palace, which was built above Xue Fengjun's tomb."

"How heavy is that strange thing?" Zhuo Jingning couldn't help but be surprised.

"It's very heavy. But I don't know how heavy it is. After only a few words, they got together. The specific aspects are not clear. Why don't you go and find a ghost to ask?" The little fox looked at Zhuo Jingning and said this.

Zhuo Jingning nodded, and he felt so, so he asked her to take him to find the ghosts under Xue Fengjun.
