In order to eat, I signed a contract with the system

Chapter 826 Zombie World 2

"Wow!" X3

Three exclamations were heard in the room. Ruyi, after wiping her face clean, finally revealed her angel-like face. In an instant, the originally terrifying bloody man turned into a beautiful woman who was admired and admired by Jiu Shu, Qiu Sheng, and Wencai.

"Girl, how do you feel now? Are you conscious? Do you remember your identity?"

Faced with such a stunning beauty, even Uncle Jiu, who was always calm, self-possessed and knowledgeable, felt a little uncomfortable, fearing that he had been impolite and offended Ruyi.

"I feel that all the meridians and bones in my body are broken, but I am very conscious. I remember my name is Ruyi." There was only amazement and no evil thoughts in the eyes of Uncle Jiu and the other two. Ruyi did not feel offended.

When Ruyi heard Uncle Jiu asking about her situation, she answered truthfully without hiding anything.

"Are all the meridians and bones in your body broken?" Uncle Jiu was surprised. This kind of injury was not an ordinary one. Most people would lose consciousness from the pain after breaking a few bones. But this Miss Ruyi could still answer his questions soberly. It seemed that she was not an ordinary person!

Uncle Jiu carefully examined the wounds on Ruyi's body and found that it was just as Ruyi said, all the meridians and bones in his body were broken. He frowned and kept thinking in his heart. In this day and age, although there are tragedies of cannibalism, zombies eating people, monsters eating people, and even bandits eating people, it is rare to torture someone like Ruyi without killing him.

"Girl, to be honest, I can really save your wounds."

"There are just two requirements that need to be made clear in advance."

Although Uncle Jiu is willing to save people, he doesn't want to use the good medicine he has always treasured on a bad person. This will not only involve cause and effect, but also affect his good deeds.

Now that the connection with the Heavenly Palace has been severed, the path to immortality for those who practice Taoism has been cut off. Everyone is trying hard to accumulate good karma while alive so that they can go to the underworld to work after death. This is the case for many predecessors of Maoshan. As the orthodox master of Maoshan and the direct master who also serves as the City God in the underworld, it is natural that he will not choose this path.

Therefore, the matter of hidden virtue is no small matter to Uncle Jiu.

Ruyi understood this logic and naturally had no objection to it. Before she could nod in agreement, Qiu Sheng and Wencai suddenly interrupted Uncle Jiu.

"Master, Miss Ruyi looks so weak, how could she be a bad person? You'd better not make any requests and treat Miss Ruyi's injuries as soon as possible."

"That's right, that's right. Miss Ruyi is so beautiful. Even if she is a bad guy, I can't bear to see her die. So Master, please stop saying anything and save her quickly." Wencai secretly glanced at Ruyi's face and smiled foolishly as he spoke. It was obvious from his expression that he had fallen into his own fantasy.

Uncle Jiu glared at his disciple who was leaning against his elbows and said nothing. He just looked into Ruyi's eyes solemnly and seriously, and only continued to speak after getting Ruyi's affirmative answer.

"The first requirement is that you must tell me the truth about your origins and why you were injured like this. Only after I hear the truth and determine that you are not a bad person will I save you."

"The second request is very simple. If I determine that you are fine and save you, you must pay me one hundred dollars to compensate me for the herbs I spent to save you."

In fact, compared with the fine medicine collected by Uncle Jiu, one hundred dollars was already a huge discount. After all, he was a Taoist priest, not a charity maker. Taoism always emphasized that there should be rewards for efforts. He saved Ruyi, so Ruyi must give something in return.

"Thank you, Uncle Jiu. I agree to both of your requests."

Although Ruyi could not move, her space was still intact. Although most of the treasures inside, including the elixirs she had obtained from Laozi's Tushita Palace and the ginseng fruits she had picked from Zhenyuan Daxian's Wuzhuangguan, were eaten to save her life when resisting the thunder tribulation, there were still quite a few lower-level immortal herbs and flowers.

These magical herbs and flowers grew by the Milky Way after all, and they all contained some magical energy. Although they couldn't heal wounds, they could still be given to Uncle Jiu to help him cultivate and break through.

When Ruyi nodded, Uncle Jiu carefully observed her expression. When he was sure that there was no reluctance in her expression, he silently let down his guard. "Miss Ruyi, since you have no objection to the two requests I made, why don't you briefly tell me about your origins and the reason for the injury on your body..."

"Actually, I am not from this world. I come from..."

Having gone through several worlds where she no longer had to hide her identity, Ruyi is very familiar with the process of explaining her identity to the indigenous people of the local world.

"Wait, what did you just say?"

Just because she was familiar with it didn't mean that Uncle Jiu and the other two, who were hearing it for the first time, would be familiar with it. Especially now, Ruyi had just said less than two sentences, and Uncle Jiu, who had just checked her injuries and confirmed that she was really not a ghost, had already started looking at Ruyi with the eyes of a mentally ill person.

"Miss Ruyi, you..." Uncle Jiu looked into Ruyi's sincere eyes, "Are you sure you are conscious?"

"I'm asking about your background, that is, your last name, where you're from, how old you are, and what you do. I'm not asking you to make up a story."

"Uncle Jiu, formerly known as Lin Fengjiao, also known as Lin Jiu, is the current second senior brother of Maoshan and one of the heirs of the Maoshan sword lineage."

"Do you want me to continue?"

When Ruyi entered the charity cemetery and met Wencai, she had already confirmed that the person in front of her was Lin Fengjiao, the ninth uncle in "Mr. Vampire". Ruyi could not remember anything else, but she remembered Lin Fengjiao's identity roughly.

Sure enough, after Ruyi said these words, Uncle Jiu's expression changed instantly. Even Wencai and Qiu Sheng, who heard for the first time that Uncle Jiu's real name was Lin Fengjiao, lost the desire to tease and looked at Ruyi in shock.

"How do you know all this?" Uncle Jiu's expression was no longer as calm as before, and his eyes were full of vigilance and alertness again when he looked at Ruyi.

Ruyi was not frightened by Uncle Jiu's change of expression, and continued calmly, "I just said that I am not from this world."

"In our world, the time is hundreds of years later than here, so your deeds are just like the famous people and events in history books. As long as you read a little, you will understand it."

It’s still the same explanation and the same statement. It’s not that Ruyi has to hide something, but only by saying it this way can people who hear these things be more able to accept the settings of different worlds.

Sure enough, after hearing Ruyi's explanation, Uncle Jiu quickly calmed down and regained his previous composure.

"So that's how it is." Uncle Jiu nodded to show that he understood, "Okay, go on. I think I understand what's going on." In fact, Uncle Jiu was very shocked and his mind was still confused, but he didn't want Ruyi to see it on the surface, so he pretended to be calm and motioned Ruyi to continue.
