Synopsis

The chapter explains the origin and purpose of the Jiangshi sorcery, revealing that escort agencies traditionally transport these corpses for free out of respect for fallen warriors. A Taoist from the Maoshan sect arrives seeking help to transport over 100 Jiangshi, a request which is met with resistance from the escort envoys due to the inconvenience and the ominous nature of the task. The protagonist, remembering a past life where this request led to a massacre, attempts to convince the agency to refuse, utilizing a fabricated excuse involving potential conflict with those responsible for the deaths.
