Immortal Cultivation and Life-Saving Guide

Chapter 107 Book Gift
"Fellow Daoist Wei's foundation is okay," Xu Xiangyang said patiently, "but he wasn't getting enough nutrition last year, so he needs some supplements."

Last year, Xizhou suffered from both severe drought and locusts, so it was strange that Weixi could have enough to eat.

Since Xu Xiangyang couldn't figure out the problem with the red rope, he could only find a way himself.

Wei Xi had an expression of "dreams shattered, life bleak", and what he was thinking about was the secret place outside Baoxiang City.

"...One more thing," Xu Xiangyang said, still holding his handkerchief, "Did Fellow Daoist Wei have muteness from the womb?"

Although Wei Xi has acquired the ability to speak with other people, she is born mute after all. She cannot move her mouth when speaking. One can sense something is wrong after spending even half a day with her.

Wei Xi gathered Lingyin's voice inconspicuously and said, "It's natural."

"It's a shame if that's the case," Xu Xiangyang said. Perhaps because he's been dealing with medicine for years, he's not very experienced in dealing with people, so his words were a bit harsh. "If it's acquired, there's still a way to treat it."

Wei Xi had never heard of such a statement before. He was distracted by Xu Xiangyang's words and asked, "Senior Xu, have you cured this before?"

"It's not me," Xu Xiangyang folded his handkerchief and put it in the medicine box, "My uncle once cured a person who swallowed charcoal..."

"It's just that my uncle-master has passed away. Otherwise, if I asked him to come and take a look at you, maybe he could help." Xu Xiangyang's tone was full of regret and annoyance.

"Senior Xu, don't feel sorry. I'm used to it and I know how to deal with it. But isn't Senior Xu's uncle also serving in an external position? How could a cultivator swallow charcoal?"

Wei Xi was simply trying to find out about Xu Xiangyang indirectly, since his deceased brother was so popular.

Xu Xiangyang didn't disappoint Wei Xi. He smiled faintly and said, "You've misunderstood. Medicine practitioners are different from alchemy practitioners. The former need to learn medical principles and can treat the illnesses of ordinary people and cultivators."

"Junior Master is a medicine cultivator, but the person he treated was a cultivator. That cultivator came out from the boundary between Yin and Yang, and upon coming out, he was half dead. He swallowed charcoal and became mute, and he was completely disabled. When he met Junior Master, he was only cured of his muteness."

"I was reminded of this today because I helped to collect a few herbs a few years ago. The prescription was written by Junior Master himself. I was quite curious at the time. Why did the herbs have to be grown in the patient's hometown?"

"My junior uncle told me that this is an experience he has summarized. People and medicinal materials are nurtured by nature. They say 'the local environment nourishes the local people'. In fact, medicine, as a tool for nourishing and repairing the body, should also be 'the local environment nourishes the local medicine'."

"If Fellow Daoist Wei's muteness isn't congenital, I could follow my Junior Master's method and study it diligently to help Fellow Daoist..."

"As for Junior Master-Uncle, he is an elder of Dingxin Sect and has not yet entered the mortal world."

Because of the incident in Tangkou Town, Xu Xiangyang was very grateful to Wei Xi and the other two. In addition, he was a simple-minded person, so he explained everything clearly without Wei Xi asking any more questions.

"And I was appointed an official in the Suzhou government office because of my family's arrangement."

At this point, Xu Xiangyang's eyes turned red and tears welled up under his eyelids.

Wei Xi felt something was wrong and was about to change the subject when he heard him say, "Originally, our clan arranged for my brother to take over the position of an official in the government office after he reached Dan... But unfortunately... Heaven is blind! Heaven is blind!"

It was understandable that this man was crying because his brother had died, but Wei Xi didn't want to listen to his complaints. Besides, Wei Xi was also concerned about his brother's body.

Although Wei Xi is now mainly concerned about the person who took the corpse away, Xu Xiangyang does not need to know this detail clearly.

"Senior Xu, although you may be heartbroken, you must recover your... your brother's body as soon as possible." Wei Xi's traps followed one after another. "Your brother's bones are extraordinary. I wonder if anyone knows about this?"

"...Brother's master, and a few people in the clan," Xu Xiangyang went over it in his mind, "These are probably the only people who know about this. If someone really took away brother's body because of his different bones, it wouldn't be these people." "Does Lord Zhuang know about this?" Wei Xi asked casually.

"Zhuang Yi and my brother are just familiar faces. I didn't tell him about my visit." Xu Xiangyang said this and then said, "He has a lot of things to do. Why bother him with this?"

Don’t I have much to do? Wei Xi asked inwardly.

This may be a bit heartbreaking, but the fact is that not everyone is obligated to tolerate emotions. In other words, whether it is empathy or connection, they are all made up to deceive people.

Most people keep their own thoughts to themselves and deal with things in a routine manner, leaving those who have experienced it to slowly swallow the bittersweetness and pain, and only stop when they have gone through it thoroughly.

Wei Xi is even more outstanding. She thinks that she met the Xu brothers by chance - of course, they are in two different worlds, above and below the water. She acts as a caring junior here for the sake of some intelligence.

Wei Xi had been getting impatient for a long time, but fortunately, her patience had paid off.

For example, Xu Xiangyang had an average relationship with Zhuang Yi, and he was even hesitant to hand over the important information he had to Zhuang Yi, but instead told it all to a junior.

"Oh right," Xu Xiangyang suddenly thought, "Zhuang Yi seems to have received an order from the government office and wants to rush back to the government office with witnesses and evidence as soon as possible."

After experiencing the old official's betrayal and Zhuang Yi's ulterior motive, Wei Xi was very cautious about this kind of information being released, fearing that he would be tricked by others again.

"Zhuang Yi is hiding on the riverbank now. Fellow Daoist Wei, I advise you to stay away from this matter. Even a cultivator like Zhuang Yi, who has been immersed in officialdom for many years, finds it difficult. This shows how dangerous it is!"

Wei Xi wondered why he hadn't asked us to stay out of the conflict when we ran into the Hu people. Or why had he asked them to stop fighting when he was nearly drowned in the Huan River?

However, Zhuang Yi also provided a ready-made answer - didn't you see that the other party had already hidden on the embankment and couldn't come down?

Zhuang Yi probably wanted to use the excuse that the flood season had not yet ended and Tangkou Town was now leaderless, so it was good that he could stay in Tangkou Town for a while longer.

After all, Zhuang Yi was still thinking about finding Xu Xiangfang's body.

After all, Zhuang Yizhen didn't know as much as Wei Xi and the other two, and he was still foolishly wandering around Tangkou Town.

Before leaving, Xu Xiangyang gave Wei Xi a notebook and said, "If it weren't for Fellow Daoist Wei's help, my brother's injustice would never have been made public."

"I don't have anything else to thank you for. When I was examining the body just now, I saw that Fellow Daoist Wei seemed quite interested in these things, so I left you the notes I've made over the years on this subject."

"These are all cases I've come across, as well as some diagrams I've drawn. If Fellow Daoist Wei wants to delve deeper into this, I'm willing to help you contact Ding Xinmen."

Xu Xiangyang took out another stack of letter paper and said, "If there is anything urgent, you can write to me on these tracking letter papers. All three of you can use them."

Seeing Xu Xiangyang being so generous, the poor Wei Xi thought to himself that if he had known earlier, he would just let him cry.

　Wei Xi: It’s good. I should have been more enthusiastic earlier.
