Chapter 91 The Plague
Tao Zi turned around and saw a boy about twelve or thirteen years old standing outside the temple, carrying a small box and looking at her with questioning eyes.

She smiled gently and said: "This is a temple, it's not what we say."

The boy bowed down and saluted the tattered statue in the middle of the temple in a dignified manner, and said: "Empress, empress, I am a descendant of the common people. I came here to take shelter from the rain. I did not bring any incense. Please forgive me."

At first glance, this temple has been abandoned for a long time, and even half of the statue is gone. It is really surprising that he is so sincere.

However, this temple is worse than the statue, and it seems that it cannot avoid the rain.

But then I thought about it, running to a place with light rain to avoid heavy rain is indeed a practical way to avoid rain.

After finishing speaking, the boy tried to step into the temple and found that none of them responded. He was secretly relieved.

Tao Zi suddenly smiled at him and said warmly: "This little brother, can I ask a question?"

He was startled, took several steps back, and said cautiously: "Please tell me."

"Is there a medical clinic or barefoot doctor near here?"

Hearing this, Xi Jing looked over expectantly.

The boy looked at them and found Han Yueshan lying in the innermost place. He was surprised and said, "What's going on?"

Tao Ziyan answered concisely: "He was seriously injured and needs medical treatment."

"let me see."

The boy changed his previous caution and walked forward quickly.

Xi Jing stood in front of her senior brother and said with vigilance: "He is seriously injured and may scare you. If you are a child, just don't look at him."

He quickly revealed his identity: "My master is a medical practitioner. I have studied medical skills since I was a child. You can let me see his injuries."

As he spoke, he opened the medicine box on his back and showed it to them to prove his identity.

Tao Zi glanced at it and nodded to Xijing.

After observing it for a while, the boy bandaged it gently, but his brows were deeply furrowed.

Tao Zi knew what he looked like and asked, "How is he?"

He shook his head and said: "I can't save him. My master has to come, and he won't last long."

"May I ask where your respected master is now?"

The boy pointed to the north: "Master is treating diseases in Xile Town. If you walk quickly, you can arrive there in half an hour."

Zhao Xue looked at senior sister with joy: "Senior sister, if we rush there now, we will definitely be in time!"

Tao Zi looked at the medical boy with a strange expression and said, "My little fellow Taoist, is there any problem over there?"

He sighed and said, "You can't go there."

Xi Jing asked anxiously: "Why?"

"A plague has appeared in the town. The nine-turn gate has sealed it, and no one is allowed in or out. It has been ten years since Master entered. I am worried about something happening, so I want to risk going in."

Tao Zi frowned: "The rest of the medical cultivators or doctors?"

The medical boy said helplessly: "Doctors and medical cultivators within a ten-mile radius are all inside, but it's really impossible to go there. I was raised by my master, so I can get there."

Zhao Xue suddenly said: "We have no other way."

Xi Jing also looked at her, and she made a decision: "Let's go."

The medical boy felt that it was not appropriate, but after looking at the dying Han Yueshan, he gave up and comforted himself: "You call each other senior sister and junior brother, and you also call me fellow Taoist. You must be monks, right?"

Without waiting for their answer, he muttered to himself again: "The monks should not be so easy to get sick. You will be fine, and I won't bear the sin of murder."

Zhao Xue's lips twitched when he heard this, and he said: "Little fellow Taoist, we decided to go there ourselves. Whether we catch the disease or not, it has nothing to do with you."

The medical boy denied it with a serious face: "You can't say that. If you don't meet me, at most one of you will die. If you meet me, the whole army may be annihilated. What is this if not killing?" Zhao Xue:...

Tao Zi said calmly: "I won't die."

If this plague will infect immortal cultivators, the Nine Turns Gate will definitely be processed urgently, and it will not be delayed for a whole ten days, let alone let the doctor enter.

The three of them looked at her in confusion. She did not explain, but just asked Zhao Xue to hold Han Yueshan and leave the ruined temple.

The medical boy chased him out and said, "Saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. I can take you there, but it's going to rain today. You'd better cover the injured more tightly."

Heavy rain was coming, and the group rushed to Xile Town.

Not long after, they arrived outside the town.

The outside of the town was heavily guarded, and there were about ten people guarding the entrance and exit of the town. Those people all looked numb, even showing a hint of despair.

Before they could reach the front, the guard at the front pointed the knife over: "Don't you know where this place is? Just stand there and don't get close!"

Xi Jing looked over and said, "My senior brother is seriously injured, but all the doctors and medical practitioners within a ten-mile radius are here."

He looked at Han Yueshan, who didn't know whether he was alive or dead, and softened his tone: "Once you go in, more than one of you will die. Let him endure it."

Tao Zi took a step forward and said, "We are monks."

The man was startled, and his expression immediately became respectful, but he still said: "The monks are fine and can enter. I just hope that you will not come out before the plague is resolved, so as not to harm innocent people."

She nodded in agreement.

The guard stopped saying anything and directly signaled his men to get out of the way.

They hurried inside.

There was silence in the town. Occasionally, a few cries could be heard and then disappeared. The cats, dogs, chickens and ducks that were usually visible were nowhere to be seen.

The whole town is strange and hopeless.

Xi Jing and the others couldn't help but slow down.

Tao Zi sniffed the smell of medicine in the air and said, "In the center of the town, come with me."

When they rushed there, what they saw was a big pot, and a group of ashen-looking people lined up beside the pot with bowls, waiting for medicine.

The medical boy's eyes suddenly lit up and he whispered: "Master!"

Hearing this voice, a gray-haired old man inside turned his head.

"Hey, my good disciple, you haven't even started practicing yet, why are you here? Are you here to ask your master to collect your body?"

Medical training also requires training, but they specialize in medical skills, and even spiritual energy has little offensive power.

The medical boy scratched his head and said honestly: "On the contrary, Master, I am afraid that no one will collect Master's body, so I came here."

The old man still wanted to speak when he saw Tao Zi and the others.

Tao Zi bowed and said, "Senior, we are here to seek medical treatment."

The old man looked at them carefully, and then said: "May I ask which old man is seeking medical treatment?"

The doctor boy corrected him: "He's not an old man, he's a young man."

"What else can he be if he doesn't come here to seek medical treatment? I've seen many people seeking medical treatment. This is the first time I've seen someone come here to seek medical treatment due to the plague."

The medical boy said seriously again: "They are cultivators."

"The repairer?"

The old man's eyes lit up, and he immediately jumped over and said: "Hello, cultivator! Give me that old...immortal quickly, and I will heal him immediately!"
