With a rather helpless state of mind, Huang Chang and the old man Lou returned to Baonan City.

I was delayed for three days in vain in that strange house, plus the round-trip journey, seven or eight days of hard work, but nothing was accomplished. Huang Chang wasted a thunder rocket, and the old man Lou also consumed some elixir spirit stones, but the ending was still the same - when they saw the little girl Duoduo struggling to pull weeds and burn the fire in the yard again, both of them sighed helplessly, but they could only act as well-wishers passing by and leave her some dry food - not more, only one day's use, and it was useless if it was too much.

Therefore, the state of mind of the two can be imagined, and they are not very happy. Lou Lao Dao is just that, after all, decades of rivers and lakes have endured all kinds of wind, frost, rain and snow. And he had already worked that strange mansion in his early years, and this time there was still no ending, it was just a matter of being depressed again, and he would soon be able to put it down.

But Huang Chang is different - he is a young man, and he has always been an "honor student" on the road of cultivating immortals. In the past, all kinds of strange phenomena were encountered, and they could basically be solved by their ability. And this time, after putting in so much effort and spending a lot of money, in the end it was all in vain, and even the loot that had been put in the Qiankun bag was gone. Although that thing doesn't seem to be of any use, with Huang Chang's character, everything that goes into his pocket can fly away, and this kind of frustration is really uncomfortable.

Rao is Huang Chang has always thought that he was open-minded and could release and collect, and after returning to the city, he stayed at home for several days and did not go out. But he's not entirely depressed at home. Instead, taking advantage of the fact that the incident had not passed long ago, and the memory in his mind was still very clear, he hurriedly recorded the situation at the time, what he saw and thought, and the basis for making judgments, etc., with jade slips, and kept them as a reference.

After making the data jade slip and making an extra backup. Huang Chang took out the special rune paper and rune ink again, spread out the paper and began to write:

"Master is above, and disciple Huang Chang bows his head suddenly...... Recently, in the countryside, I came across a strange thing......"

After writing the letter, he folded it into a talisman bird, and asked him to carry a backup of the jade slip of the information, and released it. Of course, it is impossible for Fu Niao to fly directly to Kunlun Mountain, but he can go to the nearby Kunlun Lower Courtyard Taoist Temple, where he can naturally be sent to the mountain with his daily report - as a Kunlun disciple, there are many Kunlun Taoist monasteries scattered throughout the Great Zhou, and it is also a great advantage to be able to get in touch with this mountain at any time.

After sending the letter, Huang Chang also cleaned up his mood and returned to normal production and life. On the one hand, he took care of his younger brothers and sisters, and on the other hand, his own cultivation had to start to regain - there was no other benefit in fighting with that mysterious demon spirit, but he himself was touched, and the cultivation realm that had been stagnant since reaching the Sixth Heaven seemed to have loosened somewhat.

Above the Six Heavens, he was preparing to launch an attack on the late stage of Qi refining, and Huang Chang always felt that he couldn't find the way to advance before, and he had no clue at all, so he put it down for the time being. And after this battle, he seemed to feel something vaguely, although it was still very vague and ethereal. But at the very least, the road ahead is no longer dark.

Another gain is that his friendship with Lou Laodao has deepened a lot - the four major irons in life, and the comradeship cultivated in fighting side by side is always relatively deep. Moreover, the old man Lou had no desire to win at all after seeing his true combat strength, since the force was inferior, it was natural that he was in a weak position in terms of communication - the rules of the immortal cultivation world are like this, and it has nothing to do with age.

I don't know if the old man Lou told the Ji family that he had a high-grade magic weapon, Huang Chang felt that the Ji family's attitude towards the old Huang family seemed to be a little more enthusiastic recently......

Because Huang Chang himself doesn't go out much, people can't find him. After all, the Ji family is the Hou Mansion, and it will definitely not be stuck on it in vain. However, his father, brother, and brother-in-law were all begging for a living in the court, and in many subtle ways he could feel that it was very different from before. In the past, many benefits that only the children of the Hi clan and the vassal families that were close to the Hi clan could enjoy various benefits, and their Huang family can now also participate.

- To be honest, Hi's treatment of his subordinates is really good. Usually, the salary is quite generous, not to mention, there is often another reward when it comes to three festivals and two birthdays. Ordinary officials and miscellaneous servants are just giving money and food, but if they are in a position, or are considered by the Ji family to be "their own people", trustworthy or will be reused, then the Ji family is willing to share more good things with them.

A small vassal state attached to the Great Zhou Dynasty, such as Bao State, is surrounded by human territory that has been opened up, which is safe and secure, and there is no possibility of conquest and expansion to the outside world. The Xiu Immortal Family's resource requirements for mortals are limited, and they don't have to worry about someone trying to overthrow them, and the bureaucratic envoys are usually under great pressure.

And Baonan County Shou Wushuang himself is a fun-loving person who pays great attention to the quality of life, and most of his daily time and energy are actually spent on amusement. It is better to be happy alone than to be happy with everyone, and he is not only good at playing by himself, but also very good at taking others to play - he often organizes and arranges some garden parties, flower viewing parties, etc., all of which invite close subordinates and high-ranking officials to participate together. It was really comfortable to be an official under him. Therefore, although the Baoguo regime is small, it is very united internally, and the family is good at winning people's hearts, which can also be seen in this regard.

The previous Huang family could not reach that level and was not eligible to participate. In the past decade, Huang's father has often heard high-ranking colleagues talk about this kind of thing. At that time, he could only envy him, but since Huang Chang came back and showed his strong strength, before he knew it, he found that he had also become a member who could participate in these activities. He attended a banquet of the same level as the last flower-viewing party, and then he attended it several times, sometimes by himself, sometimes with his wife, but gradually got used to it.

And on this day, after finishing a small amount of official business, Huang's father was sitting in the public room drinking tea. Since his promotion, his official room has naturally changed to a larger and more refined one, and it is still exclusive to a single person, and there is no need for several people to share a room like before, which is much more comfortable to use - his son has paid attention to "private space" since he was a child, and Huang's father is inevitably affected, and he is quite picky in this regard.

When I was at leisure, I saw the door curtain lifted, but it was the eldest son Huang Yang who walked in, his face was happy, and he put a big red post in front of Huang's father when they met.

"Father, our family has finally received this. ”

Huang's father opened it and saw it, but it was a gold-inlaid invitation, this time it was not the county guard's private banquet, but invited him to participate in this year's autumn hunt.
