Chapter 94 I Don’t Need Fame
Liang Yixiu didn't understand why she asked this question, but he didn't ask. Instead, he answered directly: "When we found it, the coffin was open. We closed it because we were afraid of being discovered."
"Are you afraid of being discovered by someone?"
He looked outside and said, "Mortals, their emotions are already stretched to the limit. If they discover something like this, who knows what will happen. Unfortunately, something happened."
"Whose body is inside?"
"The administrator of this town, the mayor, is a relative of a steward of the Jiuzhuanmen Stewardship Hall. That steward asked us to keep his body, but we didn't expect it to end like this."
Liang Yixiu didn't let her ask any more questions and told the story himself: "The mayor disappeared three days after his death. As soon as we found out about this, we spread the news and then sealed off the town."
Tao Zi sorted out her thoughts.
At this time, someone walked in quickly and said, "Senior, Doctor Xu has woken up and wants to see you."
Liang Yixiu's eyes lit up and he immediately replied, "I'll be there right away."
As he walked, he explained, "Doctor Xu is an exceptional doctor. After the town rioted, he was the first to come forward and pacify the people. But he has also contracted the plague, and I'm afraid his time is running out."
Tao Zi became suspicious and asked, "Comfort?"
Can you make mortals obedient just by comforting them?
The good doctor was silent for a moment, then said tactfully, "He is a mortal, and a rather prestigious one at that. When a cultivator seems to have given up on someone, a mortal's words are always more effective than a cultivator's. However, he did resort to some desperate measures."
She understood that the so-called last resort was nothing more than killing the chicken to scare the monkey.
When we arrived at the room, we saw a middle-aged man lying inside, wrapped tightly up, with only his clear, weak eyes, nose and mouth visible.
The good doctor stepped forward quickly and said, "Xiao Xu, how do you feel?"
"It doesn't matter how you feel. After all, time is running out."
He said this with a wry smile, and his eyes fell on her.
Tao Zi clearly felt that he was looking at her and even examining her.
"Is this the new cultivator?"
Good Doctor Xiu nodded and said, "Yes, her last name is Tao."
"It's Immortal Tao." He turned his head and smiled. "I should have performed the formalities, but I'm too weak to perform them properly. I'm truly sorry."
"You're too polite, Doctor Xu."
Doctor Xu looked at Liang Yixiu and asked, "Senior, can I talk to Immortal Tao alone?"
"Of course you can."
The door was closed by Liang Yixiu.
Doctor Xu coughed a few times before speaking, "This incident is not simple. What are Immortal Tao's plans?"
Tao Zi looked up at him and said calmly, "Wait until you develop the prescription, then leave."
He shook his head: "Impossible, I'm afraid that the prescription can't be developed."
"Then wait until all the mortals here are dead, and then you can leave naturally."
Doctor Xu suddenly opened his eyes wide, stared at her intently, and said, "How could Immortal Tao do this?"
"Why can't I do this?" Tao Zi looked at him and replied nonchalantly, "The life and death of mortals here is not my responsibility. All I have to do is move the bodies, that's all."
"You are a cultivator."
"So what if they're cultivators? The Nine Transformations Sect didn't even send anyone here. I'm just a casual cultivator, so why would I meddle in other people's business?"
Doctor Xu was speechless, his eyes dull.
Tao Zi looked at him coldly, indifferent.
After a long silence, he was the first to speak: "If we can help the people here, Immortal Tao's reputation will naturally soar."
"I don't need fame."
He looked at her deeply, suddenly suppressed his emotions, and sat up with difficulty.
Tao Zi then became interested.
Doctor Xu said, "Master Tao, most of the immortal cultivators I've met will help when they encounter something like this."
"I'm sorry, but I'm just that small half." She glanced at the simple furnishings in the room and continued, "If you have nothing else to say, I'll leave."
"Immortal Tao!"
He stopped her and said, "I know you have no reason to help us, but we helped you."
"In return, I will do what I can."
"Do you think what I'm about to say is beyond your ability?"
Tao Zi replied irrelevantly: "I am a physical cultivator."
The man was stunned.
"Heaven has doomed Xile Town." Doctor Xu closed his eyes in despair. "Master Tao, I killed fifteen people just to calm them down and wait for the cultivators to arrive. But I didn't expect that after holding out for so long, I only waited for a physical cultivator to arrive."
Looking at him like this, Tao Zi's expression remained unchanged: "If everything is fine, I'll leave."
When she reached the door, he suddenly spoke again: "Master Tao, how long do you think Xile Town can last?"
"More than a month."
"So long?" He said blankly, then his eyes suddenly lit up and he kept saying, "Yes, yes, people are dying more and more slowly. Maybe they have developed resistance."
Tao Zi left here and returned to the room.
Xi Jing and the others went to move the bodies again, and only Han Yueshan and the medical boy were left in the room.
The young doctor was fiddling with the medicine angrily, while her junior brother was lying on the bed with a smile on his face, and it was obvious that he was up to no good.
She smiled and said, "Yueshan, what did you do?"
"Senior Sister!"
Han Yueshan wanted to sit up, but it pulled at his wound. He took a breath and said with a grim face, "I didn't do anything. I just asked this little brother if he had a childhood sweetheart or something."
Tao Zi burst out laughing.
He asked, "Senior Sister, how is this place?"
She shook her head and said nothing, so Han Yueshan didn't ask any more questions.
Tao Zi found a place to sit and lost in thought until dusk, when Xi Jing and the others walked in with difficulty, holding on to the wall.
Zhao Xue lay on the ground without any image, and said weakly: "Senior Sister, is there anything to drink?"
She stood up and took the water.
After drinking the water, the two of them stared at the roof in a daze with lifeless eyes.
"A lot of bodies this afternoon?"
Xi Jing replied gloomily, "There are so many. Didn't Senior Sister go?"
"If you're thinking about something, you won't get over it."
The two men didn't even eat. They took a shower and went into the small room inside to sleep.
Han Yueshan rarely saw his junior fellow apprentices like this, and said to the medical boy with a bit of gloating, "Fortunately, I was injured."
"If you weren't injured, your senior sisters, junior brothers and junior sisters wouldn't be able to come here." The good doctor pushed the door open and walked in.
He frowned, his intuition telling him that something was not right with this man.
"Good doctor, what can I do for you?"
"Is Miss Tao here? I have something to talk to her about."
Han Yueshan subconsciously wanted to say that his senior sister was asleep, but his senior sister came out.
