Mu Yi returned to the county town and rested overnight, and his mental strength had almost recovered.
As for Nian Nuer, he temporarily entered the Ghost King's banner.
After this period of exploration, Mu Yi can now basically control the Ghost King Banner. With Xu Gui dead, there is no need to worry about what he has left behind, and Nian Nuer can naturally enter it.
Moreover, there are still some ghosts and a fierce ghost imprisoned in the Ghost King Banner at this moment. If Nian Nuer can absorb them all, even if she cannot go further, she can consolidate her current state.
The next morning, Xie Miao also brought back news about the ghost village. Last night, it was burned down by a fire, leaving no trace.
After hearing the news, Mu Yi was not surprised. Instead, he knew that the person who set the fire should be the guardian, that is, the old woman.
Originally, he had no hope for Xie Miao's visit, and now he didn't feel any surprise when he heard the news. However, the departure of the waker was somewhat troublesome. Fortunately, there was no deep hatred between him and the keeper. Even the keeper
The relationship with Xu Gui was not that close, otherwise she would not have turned around and ran away, but should have fought Mu Yi desperately.
If that's the case, it's really not certain who lives and who dies.
After all, Mu Yi's mental power had been exhausted at that time and he could no longer activate the talisman. As for Nian Nuer, he could only entangle the opponent.
If the other party wanted to kill Mu Yi, Nian Nuer might not be able to stop him.
Unfortunately, the other party was frightened by Mu Yi and ran away in a hurry, not knowing that Mu Yi was already at the end of his strength at that time.
Maybe she figured it out later, but by that time Mu Yi had already brought Nian Nuer back to the county town, and out of anger, he set the place on fire.
After all, she also knew that Mu Yi would not let her go easily, and her hard work here was almost destroyed by Mu Yi. Even her magical weapon embryo was taken away by Mu Yi.
Under such circumstances, it would be a fool if she didn't leave and stayed there waiting for Mu Yi to come back to her again.
Moreover, Mu Yi has now opened the door to the second difficulty. As long as he is given time, it is inevitable to cross over. By that time, even if the guardian really comes to seek revenge, Mu Yi will not take it to heart.
The top priority now is to find Su Jinlun. If he guessed correctly, Su Jinlun should be in Hanshan Village at this moment. After all, Su Jinlun's only use in Xu Gui's eyes is to attract Mu Yi.
But for Hanshan Village, it is different for Li Hu. As the sole heir of this generation of the Su family, Su Jinlun is very important to the Su family.
Li Hu and Xu Gui jointly stole seven wealthy families, which already shows his ambition. At least he should need a lot of money. Although the Su family does not appear to be a mountainous one on the surface, people who really know the Su family know that
, Even though the Su family lives in Funiu Town, they cannot be underestimated, either openly or secretly.
Under such circumstances, it is normal for Li Hu to target the Su family.
Anyway, Li Hu and Xu Gui had already completely offended the Su family when they arrested Su Jinlun. Now that they had been offended, why should they care about whether they would break up with each other? They should get enough benefits first.
Of course, it would be easier if Xu Gui could directly destroy the Su family. Even if he failed, as long as Su Jinlun was in his hands, he would be a bargaining chip.
Presumably it was based on this idea that Li Hu brought Su Jinlun back to the village.
And as long as that Li Hu is not stupid, he will send people to pay attention to the situation in the ghost village at all times. Now, I am afraid that Li Hu has also got the news.
However, as long as the old woman keeping watch did not go to Xiaohan Mountain, it was impossible for her to know the exact news, let alone whether Mu Yi was alive or dead.
But Mu Yi also understood that the time could not drag on too long, otherwise Su Jinlun's life would also be in danger.
But before going to rescue Su Jinlun, Mu Yi decided to meet someone first.
The magistrate of Lin'an County, Gu Yaosen.
As the head of a county, Mu Yi believed that the ghost village incident must not be hidden from him. He must also know that Su Jinlun was kidnapped and that Mu Yi personally took action. If he didn't even know these things, he would not be qualified to be the head of the county.
host.
Similarly, Mu Yi also believed that as long as Gu Yaosen was not stupid, he would do his best to rescue Su Jinlun and make decisions for the seven wealthy families that were stolen.
When they arrived at the county government office, Mu Yi was led in without even being notified. It was obvious that Gu Yaosen had already given instructions for all this.
The place where Gu Yaosen met Mu Yi was in the backyard of the government office, which also belonged to the inner house. Logically speaking, Gu Yaosen shouldn't be so rude.
Putting aside the relationship between Mu Yi and the Su family, Peng Songlai couldn't do this just because of the favor he owed and Mu Yi's intention of coming this time. But he was not the only one who met Mu Yi this time.
When Mu Yi came to the backyard, he saw three people, one man and two women.
Among the three people, one of them had been met by Mu Yi before, and he could also guess the identities of the other two.
The man looked to be in his thirties or forties, with a square face, fair complexion, and a pair of bright eyes. He had been staring at Mu Yi closely since Mu Yi appeared.
There is even a sense of authority about him, that is official authority.
If an ordinary person were suddenly stared at like this by him, he would already be trembling with fear, feeling weak in his heart, and trembling in his body. However, Mu Yi looked as if he was not aware of it, and his expression did not even waver at all, and he walked in front of the three of them with strong steps.
Although the customs of this era are no longer so strict, it is still not good for a wife to see a strange man if the news spreads out. The three obedience and four virtues are like a mountain, firmly suppressing the women of this era.
As a scholar, Gu Yaosen and his wife were also considered ladies of the family, so they shouldn't have made such a mistake, but because of Mu Yi's special status and his young age, there weren't so many taboos.
In these days, Taoist priests still have many privileges, and no one will make irresponsible remarks even when meeting women.
"This must be Taoist Priest Mu, right? He really has an extraordinary temperament, unlike ordinary people." Gu Yaosen was secretly surprised in his heart, but he still praised him.
It's not that he has never met so-called Taoist priests before, but under his official authority, those Taoist priests are all cautious and cautious. Even the so-called masters of the world are also affected.
Only Mu Yi seemed not to notice anything at all. This alone was enough for Gu Yaosen to take him seriously.
"Taoist Master, we meet again." After Gu Yaosen finished speaking, a woman next to him took a step forward, saluted Mu Yi, and said softly.
This woman is Peng Fenglai's youngest daughter, Peng Bi, who is also Gu Yaosen's sister-in-law.
As for the other beautiful woman next to her, she is naturally Gu Yaosen’s wife. (To be continued)
