I am a living immortal.

Chengwei County.

In a restaurant, the waiter bowed and left, and Su Mu poured herself a cup of tea. Opposite the restaurant was a clinic, and teams of officers and soldiers knocked on the door of the clinic.

It is daytime now, and it can be seen from the closed door of the clinic that they know the soldiers will come, so they all stay indoors. This is not just one or two cases, but the norm for most people.

Who dares to open the door? The Qingshangang plague is still relying on physical isolation. There is no way to deal with it. None of the first doctors who went to rescue have returned. Who dares to go? Once you go, you can't get out.

Those who have connections will find them, and those who don’t will run away.

Those who have no connections and cannot escape can only stay in the museum.

But the officers and soldiers will also get used to it.

When knocking didn't work, they resorted to force. They kicked open the door of the clinic and took away a white-haired old man along with his medical kit. A young man hugged the officer's leg and said, "You can't arrest my father. He's old..."

Before he could finish his words, he was kicked out by the officer.

"Get out of here. This is for everyone. Save the people. You should feel honored to die."

The people around were pointing and whispering to each other, all discussing the plague in Qingshangang, which was enough to show the seriousness of the situation in Qingshangang. Although many people did not know what had happened in Qingshangang, they were all praying that the plague would not spread. It was natural for them to sympathize with the old man's experience. You are a doctor, this is what you should do.

As Su Mu took a sip of tea, the officer who had just kicked someone fell flat on his face in public, causing the onlookers to burst into laughter.

Retracting his gaze, Li Peng walked in hurriedly, picked up a teacup, poured himself a cup of tea, and drank it down in one gulp.

He let out a breath with a "Ha".

"I'm telling you, this Qingshangang is definitely not a simple place. I've inquired about it. It's not just doctors, there are also Taoist priests and sorcerers. The officers and soldiers are arresting them one by one."

"It's easy to sneak in. The two of us just need to pretend to be wandering Taoist priests. Those officials are getting really anxious right now. I heard the situation might have spread. I've dealt with that kind of monster before. It wasn't very strong, but it's been..."

"Li Peng thought about it, but didn't know what words to use."

"Grow stronger." Su Mu said.

"Yes, eh, you know?"

"Probably know something."

"Do you have any way to treat it?" Li Peng looked at Su Mu with anticipation.

"I didn't expect that you, Li Peng, have a heart that cares about the world." Su Mu chuckled twice, suggesting something, but it also seemed like it was just a simple teasing.

Li Peng's expression didn't change, as if he hadn't heard anything. He waved his hand and said, "Well, we've met. A chivalrous man of great integrity cannot ignore the suffering of the world. You haven't told me yet. Do you have any way to treat it?"

"It's hard to say. Whether it works or not depends on seeing it in person." Su Mu nodded without hiding anything.

"That's right." Li Peng nodded.

The waiter brought the dishes at this time. Li Peng picked up the delicacy and said, "Eat while you talk. I just said that it's easy to get in, but it's hard to get out."

"The Black Armor Guards have already established a defense line around Qingshan Hill, with crossbows deployed. Only entry is permitted, no exit. Anyone who disobeys will be killed without mercy."

"Has it become this serious?"

"It's not serious, but it's weird. This kind of plague is unprecedented and unheard of. It must be the work of the Eclipse Society. They are best at this kind of dirty tricks." Li Peng said viciously.

"Oh~ You seem to know a lot about the Eclipse Society."

This time, Li Peng did not hesitate but nodded.

"Brother Su, let me tell you the truth. The reason I'm wandering around is because I offended the Eclipse Society, so I've been hiding."

"It's undeniable that I'm overestimating myself by saying that Eclipse would create this plague just for me, but I definitely have something to do with it. Now that I've seen it, I can't just stand by and watch. I need to help in any way I can. Although I don't know medicine, I can kill."

Su Mu nodded and said, "I'm looking for the Eclipse Society because I want to find the...um...things behind him."

What's behind it? Li Peng pondered over Su Mu's words.

Neither of them asked any further questions. It was enough to know that they had the same goal.

The food was served quickly.

Just as Li Peng was enjoying his meal, he suddenly remembered something and mumbled, "After dinner, we need to change into a Taoist robe and magical instruments. We need to dress like wandering sorcerers. Your temperament is very suitable, but it's not the same for me. So, clothes make the man."

"Just now when I went out, I happened to use the token given by the Qi family kid and asked someone to do it. It will be delivered to me soon."

"You are thoughtful."

"That's... Look at who I am. I am..."

The topic then abruptly died down, and Li Peng smiled awkwardly and said, "I'm not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning."

"Haha."

I laughed awkwardly twice, secretly cursing my useless mouth, as I really wanted to say everything.

When he was thinking about how to divert his attention, he heard a noise outside the window again. He looked over and found that another person had been "invited" away. The monk was dressed in simple clothes. Facing the difficulties posed by the officers and soldiers, he did not do anything extreme. He just chanted the Buddha's name and followed the officers and soldiers away.

Seeing that he was sensible, the officers and soldiers did not make things difficult for him and made a gesture of invitation.

"They're arresting monks too? How can they help the dead?"

"Buddhism is profound. It is compassionate and can save people from suffering. It can go into hell and save people from suffering. It is easy to say but difficult to do. It is righteous and kind." Su Mu said.

Although Su Mu was not fond of monks, he still respected them. This respect was not for Buddha, but for those who practiced Buddhism and saved people from suffering. What they did was real.

After eating and drinking, someone knocked on the door of the room.

Li Peng went to open the door, and a man who looked like a servant came in with two bundles. He bowed and said, "This is what you want, sir. We have prepared it."

Then he put the things down, closed the door and walked out. He didn't ask any more questions, just did his work without asking why.

"The Qi family is quite good." Li Peng praised.

He opened the bundle, and inside it were two dark blue Taoist robes, a flat-topped crown, and some magical instruments, including a Tai Chi sword, a whisk, a mountain-breaking axe, a mind-clearing mirror, and so on...

These magical instruments were finely crafted and clearly not common goods. In Su Mu's opinion, there were one or two genuine items mixed in. She really didn't know how the Qi family had collected them all in such a short time.

Su Mu picked up her whisk and said to Li Peng, "Since you use a sword, take that sword."

Li Peng nodded indifferently.

The two men changed their clothes quickly, and as soon as they walked out of the restaurant, the officials rushed over like dogs smelling a bone. The officials' faces showed joy. With these two included, the target was completed after the superiors gave it a go. They spoke with an expression as if they were sure of victory.

"Two Taoist priests, I believe you have heard about this plague in Qingshan Hill. You will not stand by and watch people die, right? Please." As soon as the hat of righteousness was put on, he took the lead in thinking, "If you don't accept the toast, you will have to drink the forfeit wine. Then don't blame the official for making you suffer."
