~8 min read 1,455 words

"You said the town mayor knows about this, do you dare to go see the town mayor with us?" Li Li Haoran didn't believe their ghost talk, hoping to see the shadow of fear in their expressions.

It's a pity, no.

The four people and three ghosts waited in the broken temple for a night. When the sun was just about to rise, and the moon was gradually emitting a soft halo, turning into the sun, they set off to find the town mayor.

Guhuaizhen is famous for its locust trees. Locust trees can be seen everywhere, and they are all old. The thickest old locust tree cannot be hugged by three Lu Yangs. The white-clothed female ghost calls herself Little Seven. She said that this old locust tree has a history of more than a thousand years, older than the age of Guhuaizhen.

Locust trees are yin, and the atmosphere of the whole town is gloomy and very cool, which is a good place to escape the summer heat.

Among the towns Lu Yang has been to, Guhuaizhen is considered the largest.

And Guhuaizhen is prosperous, and it will be even bigger in the future.

After indicating the identity of the four to the government office, the town mayor soon came out to greet them. The town mayor was a bit rich, looking like he was smiling at whoever he saw.

"I didn't expect the Daoist of the Profound Heaven Sect to come here. I'm sorry for not welcoming you." The town mayor apologized as soon as they met, putting his attitude very low.

Lu Yang noticed that the town mayor had the cultivation base of the late Foundation Establishment.

The town mayor noticed the three female ghosts behind the four, his expression changed slightly, and he soon calmed down, politely saying: "My surname is Fan, named Fan Guiren. You can call me Little Fan."

"Four, please come in."

"Town Mayor Fan is polite." Lu Yang took a sip of the tea poured by Town Mayor Fan and nodded slightly. Well, I can't tell what kind of tea it is.

"The reason we came here, Town Mayor Fan might also know, is to understand the ins and outs of these three female ghosts."

"Sure enough." Town Mayor Fan was dejected. Honestly, he didn't really want to talk about this, but since the Profound Heaven Sect came to ask, he couldn't not talk.

"Does Town Mayor Fan know about these three female ghosts absorbing human yang energy?" Lu Yang went straight to the point.

"I know. When travelers came to me to report that there were female ghosts absorbing human yang energy in the broken temple outside the town, I heard about this and felt that this was not okay, so I immediately took people to check the situation."

"When I arrived at the broken temple, I realized that Little Seven and the other three ghosts were not evil ghosts who sucked people's yang energy dry at once, but good ghosts without harm."

"At that time, Guhuaizhen was not as lively as it is today. I wanted to develop the tourism industry and increase the town's income, but relying on a pile of locust trees couldn't attract people."

"I thought of female ghosts. To worry about accidents, I specifically checked the laws and found that what the law prohibits is that female ghosts absorbing yang energy cannot damage people and affect normal life, and it does not completely prohibit female ghosts from absorbing yang energy."

"Female ghosts absorbing yang energy is not prostitution, which means travelers don't even have to pay money."

"And the tax regulations didn't say that ghosts absorbing yang energy need to pay taxes."

"After weighing it again and again, I chose to use female ghosts as a gimmick to promote Guhuaizhen. You don't know, the effect is quite good. Many travelers came to seek romance, the town's income is visibly increasing, local finance is improving, there are rewards from the county, and I am rich in my hands, so I successfully cultivated to the late Foundation Establishment."

"Originally, the county had the intention to promote me, but being a town mayor here has food, drink, and spirit stones, which is better than being a subordinate in the county, so I refused."

"Even if I am promoted to the county, I have to wait until I reach the Golden Core stage." Town Mayor Fan has a very clear plan for his political career.

The three female ghosts nodded frequently, indicating that they were innocent and were good ghosts.

"Wait, since this is a good thing, who asked our sect for help, saying that there are female ghosts here?" Meng Meng Jingzhou was puzzled.

This mission was not discovered by the sect, but someone wanted to report it to the Profound Heaven Sect.

Competitor?

Does this industry have competitors?

Town Mayor Fan was also surprised. He thought Lu Yang and the three were passing by by accident, found that there were female ghosts here, and caught them by the way.

How could it be reported by someone?

"Does Town Mayor Fan have any clues?"

"Not yet…… By the way, can I ask what the mission says?"

"It says that there are female ghosts in Guhuaizhen absorbing human yang energy, scholars are listless and listless."

Town Mayor Fan's face was strange.

"Does Town Mayor Fan know what's going on?"

Town Mayor Fan nodded: "Scholar Zhou has a son, everyone calls him Little Zhou. Little Zhou's reading level is average, and he hasn't passed the scholar exam several times."

"But Little Zhou's mother always feels that it is because Little Zhou always goes to find female ghosts, distracted by female ghosts, listless, and not studying seriously."

"Little Zhou's mother came to me, hoping that I would punish the female ghost, but Little Zhou's reading level is obvious to all, he is playful, can't learn, and has nothing to do with the female ghost."

"I only thought she was making trouble, and didn't pay attention to her. After Little Zhou's mother left, several people attributed the reason why their children couldn't pass the exam to the female ghost, and I rejected them all."

"I didn't expect them to be unrelenting and poke this matter to the Profound Heaven Sect."

Town Mayor Fan sighed: "Little Seven and the three have tried their best."

The white-clothed female ghost Little Seven said: "We three sisters were afraid that this matter would be made big, letting the righteous path know of our existence, so we called the scholars in the town to the temple and gave them lectures."

"Our three sisters were from scholarly families before they died, and it is more than enough to teach them."

"If you study well, there is a reward, and if you don't study well, there is no reward. Under this reward and punishment mechanism, their grades have improved by leaps and bounds."

Lu Yang looked at the three female ghosts up and down. The red-clothed female ghost's lips were swollen like sausages, not to mention.

The white-clothed female ghost and the green-clothed female ghost were beautiful, dressed coolly, and had their own styles. In this situation, the scholars could still learn?

Oh, that's right, there is no reward if you can't learn.

"Scholars are also willing to use this method to learn. Taking yesterday as an example, there was a heavy rain that hadn't been seen in ten years, and the day was as dark as night, but Little Zhou and others were still willing to brave the rain to listen to our lectures, learning until after the heavy rain, and Little Zhou and they left the temple exhausted."

"I didn't expect that we were so hard-working, but we were still reported by their parents." Little Seven felt that life was difficult, it was not easy to live, and it was not easy to die.

Lu Yang summarized: "So you open a private school during the day, give lectures to students, and wander in the town at night, absorbing yang energy in inns?"

"Yes."

Lu Yang and the three were ashamed after hearing this. The female ghosts were more diligent than the three of them.

Qin Yanyan marveled after hearing this. Are all ghosts like this?

Little Seven continued: "Not only that, but 70% of the yang energy we absorb has to be turned over, and only 30% is our own."

"Hmm? Who do you turn it over to?" Lu Yang was puzzled. The imperial court doesn't need yang energy.

"It's our superior, we all call him Master Mi. Master Mi also said that there is a treasure left by the previous Sect Master in Guhuaizhen, let us pay attention."
