I Keep Reincarnating, Why Is He Still Alive?

Chapter 76 – Otherwise, just bury me

Rong Zheng put all her effort into comforting her Shi Fu, and finally, Tao Mian emerged from that gloomy atmosphere, giving his disciple a reassuring smile.

"You have a basketful of your own troubles, yet you're still thinking of saving your Shi Fu."

Rong Zheng puffed up her cheeks.

"I've figured it out. We can take our time looking for the Bone-Illuminating Mirror and the Jade-Hiding Altar, but we can't let Du Hong bully us right at our doorstep. I'm annoyed with him and don't want to see his face."

It can be hard to make great work when its stolen from bit.ly/3iBfjkV.

She counted on her fingers.

"Even if I can only live to fifty-five, I still have thirty years left. Thirty years may be short for you, but for me, it's enough to do a lot."

"Thirty years is a long time for me too," Tao Mian glanced at her with a smile. "If you died, I wouldn't be able to move on for the next thirty years."

"Oh no, that won't do!" Rong Zheng waved her hand. "Why don't you just pretend I'm dead from now on? That way, when I really die in thirty years, you'll be able to accept it!"

"...What kind of logic is that? It sounds smooth, but the more I think about it, the stranger it gets."

"Stop thinking about it. Little Tao, where exactly have you brought me?"

Rong Zheng began to examine the unremarkable mountain before them.

With sparse vegetation and no spiritual energy, it looked like a featureless barren hill. She couldn't understand why Tao Mian had gone out of his way to bring her here.

"Because," Tao Mian stepped aside, raising his arm to show Rong Zheng, "this is a place I painstakingly

He's definitely up to something!

Sure enough, when no ghosts appeared for a long time, Tao Mian conjured a long soul-summoning banner from nowhere and struck the ground three times with force.

The mountain shook, summoning the ghosts.

All the spirits, whether fully dead or not, were forced to come out, disturbed from their rest to work.

As soon as the first ghost appeared, Rong Zheng took off running!

But those ghosts, fearing Tao Mian's Immortal power, didn't bother him and instead chased after Rong Zheng!

Rong Zheng screamed.

"Little Tao! Stop your magic! Why are they all chasing me!"

Tao Mian sat cross-legged leisurely, even taking the time to shout to his disciple.

"Little Hua! Don't just run! You need to reason with them!"

"Reason with ghosts!" Rong Zheng cursed. "They can't even think! How can they understand anything I say!"

"That's why you need to come up with a solution," Tao Mian said, changing his position to watch his disciple's frantic run. "Little Hua, I don't need to teach you lightness skills anymore! What I want to teach is ghost communication—never mind, if your lightness skills improve, that's fine too."

The first night passed with Rong Zheng's frantic running and shouting.

By the time daylight broke, Rong Zheng was nearly out of breath.

"Weren't you saying not to use your powers recklessly…"

Tao Mian smiled.

"Don't worry, Little Hua, just running wildly won't trigger your poison. Shi Fu knows how to handle this."

"?? You might as well just bury me here."
