Chapter 100: Killing and Destroying the Heart
Doctor He repeated what happened in a hoarse voice.
Doctor Xu first fed the rotten flesh of mortals to Doctor Zhang. When it didn't work within a day, he immediately added medicinal herbs to the rotten flesh to transform it.
The cycle repeated itself, and Doctor Zhang contracted the plague.
Then he locked up Doctor He and Doctor Zhang together. When the treatment did not work within a day, he fed Doctor Zhang's meat to Doctor He.
After Doctor He was infected with the plague, he used the same method against Doctor Luo, the doctor who was in better condition.
Luo Yixiu said angrily, "At first, he didn't feed me those things. Later, when he found out that the plague could only be spread that way, he..."
The rest of the words were not spoken, but just by looking at the marks on He Yixiu's body, you could tell what happened.
At this point, Luo Yixiu's expression turned strange, and he said, "Brother Liang, have we cultivators ever done anything wrong to him?"
Liang Yixiu was stunned for a moment, then replied subconsciously: "As far as I know, no."
"Then why is he so angry? Especially after he found out we wouldn't die anytime soon, he became furious, constantly complaining about the injustice of heaven, saying that mortals would die in three days at most, or twenty days at most, while we could hold on much longer."
A medical practitioner said unhappily, "Isn't the Nine Transformations Sect's treatment of mortals good enough? They're truly greedy."
The medical practitioners were furious, but Tao Zi remained indifferent and calmly went forward to check on their conditions.
Good Doctor Xiu asked nervously, "Miss Tao, how is it?"
Under the gaze of everyone, she nodded and said, "It's the kind of corpse plague I suspected."
The good doctor heaved a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Then I'll have to trouble Miss Tao."
Liu Yixiu and others praised her, and words like "knowledgeable" and "ample knowledge" flowed out of their mouths like they were free.
Tao Zi smiled bitterly to herself. She knew all this thanks to Ms. Shaohua. Although she treated her as a medicine man back then, she also taught her many medical skills.
Soon after, most of the medical practitioners left, leaving only a few.
Tao Zi handed the peach in her hand to Li Xiu and said, "Doctor Li Xiu, could you take this peach back to my junior brothers and sisters' residence?"
"What message do you want to convey?"
She said gently, "Just tell them I'm busy and ask them to wait in peace. There's no need to say anything else."
"Can."
Li Xiu and her friends both left.
Liang Yixiu looked at Tao Zi who was concentrating on guarding the corpse, and waved to the guards, signaling them to leave.
After the room was cleared, he spoke, "Miss Tao, the three medical practitioners all have their own relatives and friends, so this matter cannot be concealed."
She responded indifferently: "Yeah, I know."
Liang Yixiu asked, "Then what was the significance of your previous actions?"
Tao Zi paid some attention and looked over.
"What's the point of asking the guards involved in this to inform the sect? As soon as the town is unsealed, the sect will know about these things sooner or later. Whatever fate befell Doctor Xu's family will be, it doesn't matter whether the guards say anything or not."
She suddenly smiled and said, "Good doctor, whatever you think is meaningful is what you think."
Liang Yixiu remained silent for a long time. After a while, he tentatively said, "Give those guards and their families a chance to live? After all, they were involved."
"If you feel that way, then so be it." Tao Zi said calmly, "There's only one thing I hope good doctors can take good care of these people and not let them get ahead of them."
Miraculously, Liang Yixiu understood the meaning of these words and nodded in agreement, but the look in his eyes when he looked at Tao Zi was a little more complicated. He didn't expect that she had such a good temper.
She spoke again: "Good doctor, I am enough here, please leave."
He wanted to hold on for a while, but when he saw her expression, he left decisively: "Okay, thank you for the trouble."
As soon as the good doctor Xiu left, she asked, "Why aren't you coming out yet?"
Li Xiu and his good friend walked in.
He joked with a smile: "Miss Tao has a pretty good hearing."
"good."
He added, "But it's still a little worse than talking nonsense."
"Nonsense?"
"That's right. He's clearly trying to vent his anger, but he's acting like he's helping someone."
Tao Zi gave him a look and said, "I didn't say anything. It's all just the doctor's imagination."
Li Xiu's friend laughed and shook his head, "Senior Liang is indeed a good medical practitioner, but it's a pity that his judgment of people is not very good, and his understanding of the Nine Revolutions Gate is not thorough enough."
Given the Jiuzhuan Sect's protective nature, as long as the main culprit is gone and the plague doesn't spread, they will be somewhat lenient towards the guards. After all, the sect was indeed somewhat at fault in this matter.
Those who are really deeply involved will not lose all their family members. Everyone in the management hall has some relatives or friends.
The guards might not be unaware of this, but would they dare to gamble? Would they dare to gamble with the lives of their families?
Once they open their mouths, anyone with a conscience will either hate Tao Zi for the rest of their life, or hate themselves. In more serious cases, driven by guilt, suicide is not impossible.
After all, Doctor Xu risked his life to help these mortals.
Those who do not speak may also lose their lives in comparison with those who speak.
Tao Zi said, "If you're bored, you can help me do something. In return, I'll give you a solution to the plague. Of course, I'm referring to the plague that plagues the immortal cultivators."
The good doctor Xiu and his companions never asked about the prescription because it was a personal matter and they could not disclose it to anyone other than their fellow disciples.
Upon hearing this, Li Xiu's friend's eyes lit up and he said, "Buddha Tao, please speak."
She was startled by the title before continuing, "When the time comes, if there are relevant people, such as Dr. Xu's family, when the execution is carried out, remember to let the informants witness it with their own eyes."
Li Xiu's friend agreed without even hesitation.
Li Xiuduo glanced at Tao Zi and said, "There's nothing better than destroying someone's heart. Miss Tao is quite cruel."
She smiled nonchalantly and said, "This is reasonable revenge. Compared to them, it's not that cruel. Besides, if I don't do this, I won't be able to get over the anger."
"I understand. After all, you and your fellow junior brothers and sisters have all been implicated. If you kill them, the Jiuzhuan Sect will not let you go. If you don't kill them, no matter who you are, you will feel uncomfortable." Li Xiu's friend said seriously, "But when will the prescription be given?"
Tao Zi smiled and said, "If you have the courage, you can come with me and I will show you how to do it."
He nodded excitedly: "Yes!"
Li Xiu lazily said, "Add me. If you can't defeat them, I can help collect the bodies."
