Chapter 755: Chapter 755: The Purpose of County Magistrate Mu’s Visit

“So, does that mean it’s true… that the corpse came back to life?”

Everyone couldn’t help but gasp, feeling a chill on their necks.

“The deceased was originally a victim of unnatural death, with a grievance stuck in their chest. The poor Taoist here simply thought that since we met, we might as well help her along the way.”

Elder Dao waved his wide sleeve: “But then something like this happened. She originally died unnaturally and was sealed in a coffin, unable to dissipate the grievance. If we had simply sent her to the right place, the grievance would have gradually dispersed under the influence of the surrounding environment. But unfortunately, we bumped into them, and the deceased was directly dragged up, wasn’t she?”

Recalling the scene at the time, everyone couldn’t help breaking out in cold sweats.

“Will the soldier be all right?”

“There won’t be any problems, he’s just been poisoned by the corpse. If no one saves him, he might still have about two days left.”

Old Dao shook his head and walked straight ahead.

The people following behind couldn’t help but feel nervous.

“Taoist master, what should we do next to smoothly pass the next checkpoint?” Zhao Yuanlang didn’t even realize that he was starting to trust the old Daoist more.

Old Dao mysteriously replied, “Don’t worry! Before our deal, I agreed to escort you safely to the Flying Horse Hostel, so that the deal would be completed. Until the mission is accomplished, I will guarantee everyone’s safety.”

Meanwhile, Di Yelei and others continued on towards the Flying Horse Hostel, while Liu Sisi was shrouded in worry on her side.

Liu Sisi sat in the inner hall, silently watching Elder Mr. Di who was lying in bed.

A gold needle was inserted into Elder Mr. Di’s chest, which had been there since the morning, and no one dared to remove it. He had become extremely thin, and if it weren’t for the occasional rise and fall of his chest, one might think he was dead.

“Ms. Xin has not returned; I don’t know if she ran into trouble or simply didn’t find Old He. It’s really worrying…”

Ms. Zhao returned to the room again, intending to accompany Elder Mr. Di on his final journey.

Thinking of Mr. Di’s attitude, Liu Sisi didn’t refuse. Although Ms. Zhao was talkative, at least it would make her father feel less lonely.

“And Brother Gao as well. The old man is so sick, he doesn’t even bother to visit. He only knows about studying all day long. That’s just reading a dead book; it’s not something that can be achieved in a short time…” Ms. Zhao’s murmurings continued.

Liu Sisi didn’t interrupt her. Brother Gao had gone to the academy, but whether he was studying or playing, Liu Sisi couldn’t force him either – she couldn’t make her husband do something he wasn’t willing to do.

As she was lost in thought, Old Cheng hurried in.

“Madam, County Magistrate Mu has come for a secret visit and is waiting in the main hall. Will you see him?”

“Who is County Magistrate Mu?”

Liu Sisi couldn’t recall who this person was.

“He is the new Lord County Magistrate of Macheng County, and he is currently waiting in the hall. The old servant saw that he was heavily wrapped up, so he probably has come to consult with Madam about some secret matter.”

Liu Sisi furrowed her brows. At the moment, trouble was brewing, and now that Gongzhou City was occupied by Zhao Jiong, the visit of County Magistrate Mu might mean…

After thinking about it, she finally stood up: “Let’s meet him! Have him wait in the side hall.”
