Standing in front of a dilapidated prison, looking at the dark and damp cells, where prisoners die of illness every year, and the slippery walls are covered with green moss, there are very few criminals here, but they have to endure inhuman suffering here, and the dilapidated cells are in danger of collapsing at any time.

Even if this is the case, there is no way, after all, to rebuild the prison, for a place like Qinggang Mansion, it is not a trivial matter, and even the government is dilapidated, there is really no way.

To rebuild it, you have to mine stone and binders, and the binders are generally glutinous rice, egg whites and other building materials, and the cost of obtaining these is too great, and there is no capital to build for a while.

The accompanying warden watched the mansion master's face become more and more ugly, secretly guessed the boss's thoughts, and thought that he had done something wrong, so he only promised on the side, and was relieved until he saw the mansion master away without seeing his reprimand.

Walking out of prison, Lu Fan felt a sense of oppression, this is really a Qingshui Yamen, no wonder he came here so easily, no one wants to come here, but the more so, the more he has to be outstanding, so that he is worthy of himself and the support of the county lord.

The whole Qinggang Mansion has been inspected, and there is nothing that can make people happy, except for an official road out of the house, several other mountain roads are dilapidated, and the caravan does not dare to pass when the weather is bad, for fear of accidents, and the whole caravan has no return.

Surrounded by mountains, the natural barrier makes it difficult for people outside to get in, and it also makes it difficult for people inside to get out.

In wartime, it is a battleground for soldiers, but in peacetime it is not cared for.

There are more than 10,000 households in Qinggang Fucheng, and the rest are scattered all over the place, Lu Fan decided to go to the east of Fucheng first, the original inhabitants of the volcanic land to inspect, and heard that the residents here have sharp ears, believe in the god of fire, eyes like fire, are particularly sensitive to fire, and live around the volcano, nearly 10,000 residents.

This is the large clan of Aooka Province, which accounts for almost one-sixth of the population of Aooka Province, and the reason why it is classified as a tribe is only because they believe in the god of fire.

In fact, the average prefecture and county of the empire only have a population of 20,000 or 30,000 households, and the better ones are only 40,000 or 50,000 households, while Qinggang Prefecture has a population of 60,000 households, which is quite a lot.

However, Qinggang Prefecture is not an ordinary prefecture, but a large county without Bienfu County, in the barbarian era, the population of 60,000 households was already a rich land, but in this prosperous era is not the case.

Lu Fan took twenty government soldiers and Huo Qi to inspect the place near the volcano, and the two maids originally wanted to go together, but Lu Fan thought about inspecting himself, and it seemed that something was wrong with the maids, but he was worried, after all, he had just come to Qinggang Mansion, so he left the feather wolf behind.

After walking for nearly a day, we finally arrived at the mountain town near the volcano, where the local government and officials lived in private houses, and there was no precedent for successive government lords to come here to inspect.

For a while, the local resident officials and a few pavilion chiefs elected by the people themselves were quite surprised to see that the lord of the mansion had just come to take up his post.

The next day, Lu Fan took Huo Qi to continue to inspect around, the residents of the army near the volcano lived in stone houses or caves, which was unexpected by Lu Fan, such a remote mountain actually lived in such a solid house, even if it was rough and flawed, but it was extremely elaborate in the pattern, which seemed to be in a wonderful form.

One is built with a volcano as the center and radiating in all directions, and it seems that there is a mystery of the nine palaces in it.

But Lu Fan didn't care, but cared about how the house was built, thinking of all this, Lu Fan's heart was 'bang... Jump.

Lu Fanshi casually praised and said: "Although the life here is backward, the place to live is good."

After hearing Lu Fan's words, the patriarch said with a proud smile: "This is built by our ancestors for generations, but it is solid, although we have nothing in this poor country, but this house is definitely solid."

"For generations, these houses are still so strong, more solid than ordinary houses, what are they bonded with, I don't think they are glutinous rice milk," Lu Fan asked pretending not to believe it

"Of course, its glutinousness is about as strong as the stickiness of glutinous rice milk, but once combined, it will last, this divine land is very magical, it is a gift from our god of fire to the people, so that we can have a strong dwelling," said the patriarch with a holy face

"That's really God's grace, but I don't know where this divine land is now, can I have the pleasure of seeing it"

Lu Fan knew that the locals valued his beliefs, so he echoed and said that he wanted to see how much divine land there was and whether it could be used in a big way.

The patriarch smiled awkwardly and stopped talking. Seeing this, Lu Fan said: "It seems that the patriarch should also be a martial artist, but why is there no boldness that a martial artist should have, it doesn't hurt to say anything directly."

"The mansion lord is angry, it's not that the old man doesn't want the mansion master to take a look, it's just that the god's reward has been occupied by evil things, and there are some powerful demonic beasts nearby, and there is also a soul hooking tree. The area around the Divine Land has been occupied by these evil creatures, and even we, the people of the Gods, cannot get close to it," the Pavilion Chief hurriedly explained.

"So, how many of those divine lands are left... It won't all be occupied by that monster, right?" Lu Fan asked with a secret nod as he touched the bonded 'divine soil' at the junction of the bluestone of the house.

The patriarch immediately patted his ass and said excitedly: "For many years, how many mansion masters have not come to our tribe to inspect, and the mansion master, you first came here as soon as you took office, I know that the mansion master must be a good official for the people, and I will definitely tell the mansion master everything I know", Huo Qi on the side secretly laughed, this whisker patted the horse, even the elders like the respected patriarch are the same.

Without waiting for Lu Fan to speak, the patriarch continued: "It is a small mountain at the foot of the gods, piled up like a mountain, you may not know the mansion master, the divine soil is like powder once it meets water, it is as solid as a rock, with the change of time, it looks like a mountain on the outside, but the inside is full of divine soil."

"A mountain of divine land, so many, then you didn't try to drive the demonic beasts away?" Lu Fan asked suspiciously after being shocked

After all, this magical thing, since it is called the Divine Land, must have an extraordinary status in their hearts, how can it be allowed to be occupied by evil things!

"I've tried, every few years, a group of Vulcan's most heroic people go forward, but every time they fail, and now even if they want to take it back, no one wants to, and countless heroes have died under that soul tree," said the pavilion chief with tears in his eyes

Lu Fan thought about it for a while and said, "If the lord of this mansion helps you take back the divine land, can the divine land and the main mansion there also use a little?" You can go back and discuss with the elders of your tribe, and this mansion will wait here for your news during this inspection."

"No, the old man can promise the mansion master now, as long as the mansion master is willing to help us regain the divine land, we can share half of it with the mansion master," the pavilion chief agreed with a smile.

Lu Fan looked at the patriarch's smile, he didn't expect him to agree so happily, he felt that he was calculated, and Jiang still seemed to be old and spicy.

At this time, Huo Qi came to Lu Fan's side and said softly: "There are so many of them that everyone can't help those evil things, what can we do with him?"

"It's okay, those magical beasts don't have to worry, the most important thing is the so-called 'Soul Hooking Tree', their previous people died here, but the Soul Hook Tree is just a tree after all..." Lu Fan didn't take it seriously

"If that's the case, then it looks like God is going to help us too," Huo Qi said happily

"Don't be careless yet, it's impossible for no one to know about such a good thing before, there must be a problem in it, you let people go back to the city and send a hundred soldiers to come, so as not to have any accidents" Lu Fan said uneasily

"Okay, but is this too much of a move?" Huo Qi said worriedly.

"If it succeeds this time, the big thing is still to come," Lu Fan said happily

"That's true, but they're really willing to give us their holy relics," Huo Qi said happily.

"What kind of holy thing is it, but it's something unknown that they have discovered. The holy relics that he fabricated for his own possession are now out of his control, and now we are willing to help them, this is a good opportunity to regain it, of course he has no opinion!" Lu Fan said with some concern

Although they worship the god of fire, they are not really a tribe. They have always been the people of the Great Merchants...
