Chapter 23: Black Wind
Chapter 23: Black Wind
"Auntie, don't worry!"
Wu Ming pressed the pulse and slowly lost a strand of True Qi. However it was only slightly relieved and his brows could not help but frown.
If it was a typhoid fever or other miscellaneous diseases, his True Qi would have dealt with it. Not to mention strengthening the foundation, she should be healed from all diseases. At the very least, she should be refreshed and wake up.
Now, it is an invasion of evil spirits, which is completely different from True Qi.
"Ugh… I can't believe that when I'll use for the first time, it would actually be on this woman…"
Wu Ming took out a yellow paper talisman and his face was slightly drawn.
But it's just one and it involve the secrets of the City God. Look at this pitiful one and you will do it.
"I would trouble you to bring a bowl of water!"
Although Wu Ming was only 15 or 16, in the midst of hope, he seemed very majestic with every move filled with determination; not to be violated.
The fisherwoman promised again and again and immediately took a bowl of water.
The bowl was a thick ceramic one with a lot of glaze and gap on the edge, which was filled with clear water.
Wu Ming saw it, but said nothing, his right index finger and middle finger twisted, and it flashed again.
Oh!
A burst of flame emerged, the talisman was lit in an instant and the bright yellow tongue of fire swallowed swallowed it, turning into silky ashes and continued to fall into the water.
The fisher woman next to him was dumbfounded.
"Feed this Evil Breaking Talisman water to your daughter to drink! Prepare a crock and so on…"
Wu Ming got up but there's a sigh.
If it was a real Daoist priest, the magic power would power the Evil Breaking Talisman which would make the effects better without the need to turn the talisman into water.
However the Martial Artist's True Qi and the magical power of Taoist priests were originally extraordinary powers. They naturally shares some similarities. When Wu Ming selected the items, he chose the kind of items that even the ordinary people who sought them could use.
It's just that.
True high-level talisman or even High Grade Magical Artifacts or Dao artifacts are not available for people who do not practise Dao, even for those who meets the requirements to become a Daoist but it's not something Wu Ming can expect now.
"Yun'er woke up! Yun'er woke up!"
At this moment, the lady of the Xu family shouted in excitement. The eyelids of the girl on the coach opened and showed pain on her face. Suddenly, she fell to the edge of the bed and vomited.
Even the spit juice is as dark and thick as ink accompanied with a foul smell and small worms creeping out of the surface.
The girl vomited constantly, finally spat a black juice and even more than half of the crock, falling asleep. Although her face was still pale, she no longer had the previously black and green gas, her breathing even. A small life has been saved.
"Wait until she wakes up, cook some ginger soup and so on, and recuperate with Yang Qi, it will be fine…"
Wu Ming flicked his sleeve, the windows and the door opened as fresh air swept away the filthy air. Going outside, he stared at the rived, not knowing what to think.
"Benefactor! This life-saving grace is not reported! When this concubine will become a cash cow, we will repay your great kindness and virtue!"
Behind him, the Xu family lady walked out and saluted.
"No need to do so!"
Wu Ming shook his hands helplessly: "There is a reason why I saved this woman, I have some doubts that you need to answer…"
"Benefactor has questions, this concubine naturally knows everything and there is nothing in it!"
The Xu family lady said in a sullen way.
"In fact, this matter has a lot to do with your daughter. You should see that you daughter was not suffered from an acute illness but an evil!"
Wu Ming's words had just been exported and Xu family lady was almost paralyzed to the ground, her eyes blank and she muttered: "Sure enough… Sure enough… This mistress knew that it wouldn't let us go…"
"Who are you referring to?"
Wu Ming asked immediately.
The lady of Xu family slowly shook her head: "Benefactor is better not to know, otherwise it will cause trouble in vain. How can it make this concubine feel at ease?"
"It's not to get into trouble but it's already here… Do you know the county's list? It's me who uncovered!"
"It's you?!"
The Xu family lady said in surprise and immediately nodded again: "That should indeed be told to benefactor!"
"Well, your husband, Xu Liulang… I've heard that he made friends with Water God land, is it true or false?"
Wu Ming asked immediately.
"It's true…"
The Xu family lady seemed to be in deep contemplation: "Xu Liulang has a bold personality and he is good at people. He is born with Yin Yang eyes and can see Underworld. When he was fishing before, he got to know a water ghost so he can return home full of time…"
"Later, that water ghost accumulated Virtuous merits and was accused of the land of Black Water Town. Liulang missed his friend and often visited him. He drink at his heart's content and return home, drunk."
"Several months ago, Liu Lang was terrified and once told me that his old friend had a big problem and he had to save him so he went to Black Water Town…Who knew… Who knew that it would turns out to be the complete separation of heaven and man! Wu wu…"
The woman obviously thought of sadness and tears fell like like a broken line.
"A man who is generous goes to justice!"
“慷慨赴义,倒也是条汉子!”
“慷慨赴义,倒也是条汉子!”
Wu Ming sighed and asked: "Do you know who is the enemy?"
"Although he didn't want me to know, I've heard some words. He is General Black Wind, one of Eighteen Paths Lords under Black Mountains Monarch. It seems that he is competing for the Godhood of Black Water Town's land…"
The lady of the Xu family cried, but Wu Ming felt his head was big.
"Black Mountain Monarch? 18 Paths Cave Lord? General Black Wind? Godhood?"
But he immediately knew that he seemed to be involved in something terrible.
He also remembered that Black Water Town was at the foot of the Black Mountains, as if it was on the front line of the battlefield. This was the competition of two giants and he was slightly afraid.
After two more cross-examinations, Wu Ming left only a few dollars after getting no more information.
……
"Black Mountains Monarch? It sounds like an ancient emperor but since it is named after a mountain, is he a mountain god? Or a big demon?
Wu Ming had a headache.
At this point, he turned around twice and saw the sign of Dongshui Alley. The first mansion of the street of the Ye family, covering a large amount of land with two stone lions at the door being quite impressive.
"If you want to know the origin of Black Mountain Monarch, you must check the county's records and geography…"
Wu Ming made up his mind and came at the Ye Residence Gate: "Will Young Master Ye Xiaoyou here? My name is Wu Ming and am a friend of Ye gongzi who had extended an invitation to me before…"
When the doorman saw Wu Ming who had an imposing manner and extraordinary posture so he didn't dare to neglect and immediately went to report the news.
It doesn't take long for the Ye Xiaoyou to show up and greet him with a smile: "Brother Wu really made this younger brother wait. The two poems of that day, the more I think about it, the more it's memorable, I'm going ask…"
…
"Black Mountain Monarch?!" f𝗿e𝙚𝘸e𝐛𝚗𝐨𝙫𝚎𝙡.c𝒐𝐦
In the inn's yard where Shan Lan resided, there were several people heard Wu Ming's retelling, all of which were incredible: "Is this our goal?"
"No!"
Wu Mind said: "I was in a scholar's house and borrowed the county's records but I knew that the Monarch's origin is mysterious. It is said that he was the previous dynasty murdered general of the wild and after dying, his soul transformed into a God and became the 300 miles Black Mountains Lord. Of course, there is a saying that the black tiger has become a spirit since he is called Black Mountains…"
"Either way, the affair is becoming troublesome…"
Shan Lan's face was like ash: "Being a mountain god, the three hundred miles aura of the Black Mountains can be adjusted and does not need human incenses. His power is vast, even more than the City God!"
The gods of such famous mountains and rivers have their own mountain and water veins, so there is little demand for human faith.
In comparison, it is even more relaxed than the Heitai City God.
Of course, the strength is certainly not the same.
After all, one can controls 300 miles of rivers and mountains and the one that has only a small county town. It is clear at first glance, who is stronger and who is weaker.
"And… just from the records and other leaks from the words, you would know that this person is tyrannical, not a Virtuous God…"
Wu Ming sighed: "This matter is obvious… The change of Black Water town lies in the absence of territory… There is a shadow of Black Mountains Monarch behind it… Of course, according to my estimation, what we'll deal with that Black Wind General!"
"Of course, it would be the Black Wind General, otherwise we're all tied together and it may not even be enough for the the mountain prince to yawn."
Shan Lan rolled her eyes: "It's just that the Heitai City God is involving in it… The relation is not small but the harvest is also certain and rich… Maybe there is a divine decree!"
"Divine Decree?!"
Wu Ming knows this stuff but this thing is useless for living people. Only with dead gods and demons would it be useful. It is said to have many restrictions and although it grants immortality, they can only wait for it.
"Anyway, it can be regarded as a post-mortem insurance… Just… this world's Divine Decree, is it still useful in Great Zhou?"
Wu Ming rolled his eyes and asked this question which made struck Shan Lan dumb: "It should… Maybe… use it a little bit?!"
In the end, the woman was not so sure of herself.
"Well… whenever the dead goose is to be steamed or cooked, you have have settle down with a fight and have a say in the matter…"
Wu Ming smiled: "The situation is clear now… The territory of Black Water Town was originally sent by Heitai City God, ready to nail it at the foot of the Black Mountains. But unexpectedly, the Black Mountain Monarch resolutely counterattacked and the Black Wind General went to kill the land and perhaps secretly stole the Godhood and released a lot of mischievous ghosts to disturb the people's livelihood…"
At the same time, he was also afraid of something.
Luckily, there was no reluctance and it hard to go to the depths of Black Mountains. Otherwise if he really met the Monarch of Black Mountains, he would die without a burial site.
The Overgod Palace would obviously not let them to let the Black Water Town in despair. Therefore, it released the list and Investigation missions.
Only next, it was time for the bayonet to see red.
As soon as Wu Ming thought, the prompt of the Overgod Palace came up:
