Overgod Ch22

Chapter 22: Black Mountains Monarch

Coming out of the City God temple and then walking around to see that the day was almost over.

Just as Wu Ming wanted to take a rest at an inn, planning tomorrow to go to the Southern District to try to his luck. He encountered a woman who came to him and grabbed his arm in surprise: "Brother Nameless, your sister tried so hard to find you!"

"It turns out to be Sister Shan Lan..."

Wu Ming broke away with a wry smile, but it was a bit shocking and alert on the street.

Seemingly seeing Wu Ming's vigilance, Shan Lan grinned disapprovingly: "Younger brother did a good job, and actually unveiled the list early, and it took me a lot of work to wait until I finally completed the task... "

"You guys?"

Wu Ming asked with doubt.

"It's your sister Shan Lan and swordsman Ling Guhong and that Confucian student... Damn Tu Yanghao, don't let this old lady to see him again in the Overgod Palace!!!"

As Shan Lan mentioned Tu Yanghao, she gritted her teeth. Obviously, she swallowed something bitter: "Now that we've become independent, how about little brother coming us?"

"This younger brother is already used to it!"

Wu Ming's heart moved, knowing that this temporary alliance had no tacit understanding and trust in each others. It was normal for the group to break up halfway.

"But... but you should visit one or two and share mission information!"

Overjoyed after listening, Shan Lan took Wu Ming to an inn.

In a courtyard, under the bread at the back of the inn, Wu Ming saw Ling Guhong who was practising his swordsmanship and a Confucian Scholar who was holding a book in deep thought.

"Hey... You see who bought me?"

Shan Lan glanced at the two men with a smile, pride in her tone.

"It's you!" the Confucian scholar stood up and showed a colour of surprise. He was obviously impressed by Wu Ming's performance which gave him a deep impression of him and hurried to greet him: "Courteous brother, myself is Lin Qizhi!"

"Ling Guhong!" the cold-faced swordsman was a man of few words.

"Myself is Wuming(Unknown), I have seen you two!"

After Wu Ming also saluted, the four people sat down around a stone table.

"I don't know why you're separated from Tu Yanghao?"

Wu Ming got to the point right at the start.

"Don't mention this murderer in front of this old lady again..." Shan Lan said in anger: "I waited for the group breakout but the popularity was too strong. Although I'm not afraid of Malicious Ghosts but to attract them! That Tu Yanghao is greedy and afraid of death, leaving me waiting to be a bait, but I ran away!"

"These hypocrites, sweet-mouthed words, killing people one after another. I am ashamed to be with him."

The scholar, Lin Qizhi, said with an angry expression.

"... Fortunately, I and Ling gongzi both possess unique skills and together with Lin gongzi's supernatural powers, we've finally stood out of the crowd... But we were seperated from other people and wasted a little time in Black Water Town and then arrived at the county..."

Shan Lan stroked her hair as she said it naturally, but Wu Ming knew that the other party's delay was not simple.

But they`re not a team so it's natural to do so.

"At this time... We all have a gap with Tu Yanghao. This person is narrow-minded and will strike first. I am afraid that I have to plan early! Brother Unknown... you..."

Shan Lan stopped talking.

Wu Ming smiled: "Younger brother is used to be free. However, at this time, to deal with Tu Yanghao, it is possible to join forces. And regarding to Overgod Palace and this Mission, we can exchange information..."

He, himself, is an Overgod Apostle and many of rules of the Overgod Palace have changed.

He didn't say anything at this time, listening at Shan Lan's summary of Overgod Palace's exchange rules as well as some precautions and so on.

The woman's experience was obviously good, not only Lin Qizhi, but even Ling Guhong kept silent, apparently committing it in their heart.

"Finally...that's about the Overgod Palace!"

Shan Lan said at the end, but there was a bitter face on her face: "To build such holes in heaven and earth and throw me into it is unbelievable. It must be the work of an Almighty, according to the news released by the Blood Alliance, it probably the ancient Lord of the Underworld who controls the Six Paths of Samsara! After all... Our present situations is similar to being put into reincarnation..."


山兰说到最后，脸上却是露出苦笑：“能建造此等匪夷所思的洞天福地，再将我等投入其中，必然是无法言喻的大能所为，按照歃血盟公布的消息，此位大能，很有可能是掌握着六道轮回的上古冥土之主！毕竟……我们此时的情况，便跟被投入轮回非常相似……”

"Is there a way out?"

Lin Qizhi, next to him, suddenly asked.

"No!"

Ling Guhong's voice was as cold as ice: "Unless you die... You will leave the Overgod Palace!"

Wu Ming rolled his eyes.

He still knew a way, that is, to become the master of Overgod Palace and he would naturally be beyond the cycle of reincarnation but this is his secret, so of course, he wouldn't divulge it.

So he said: "I have only experienced a single Instance World. I don't know much about the Overgod Palace but related to this Mission, there are still some information..."

He reciprocated and talked about the land, the City God and other speculations.

"Impossible!"

Shan Lan listened but her face was ashen and exclaimed: "A county town god is at least a seventh-grade god who has achieved Priesthood and a godly spirit! Shenwei is like the sea, there nothing that this existence can't do. How can I intervene? No... it shouldn't have involved in it. After all, it's just a Flood level Mission, ah!"

After that, she looked around in fear.

Although this is the courtyard provided by the inn, it was very quiet. However the City God is still in charge of the county and this is still within the scope of power of the people and as such, they did not dare to say much more.

"I'm not saying that this god is powerless but it has scruples!"

Wu Ming said: "There are still seven days left. If we do not want to separate to search for news tomorrow, how about meeting here tonight?"

"Naturally!"

The other three's faces were not good looking. Obviously, the addition of this deity level brought a lot of pressure on them.

...

"Your excellency! He went eating lunch at Li family restaurant at noon, but in the afternoon, went to the City God Temple and rested at Jijia old store at night..."

At this time, within the county government office, a sign room was still brightly lit.

Wu Hong was sitting behind the oil lamp, his back illuminated by light and looked a little calm.

"Um... I know, you go and notify Lao Ji, he is an old man and naturally know how to do... You will continue monitor tomorrow, don't let them disappear for a moment, understand?"

Wu Hong's voice was calm and dignified.

"As you bid!"

The two servants, Ding Wei, reluctantly retired and took the door.

"City God Temple?!"

Wu Hong stared at light beans and his eyes were a little deep: "Unexpectly... this child is actually the one to discover the looks!"
伍洪注目着如豆灯火，眸子就有些幽深：“想不到……此子居然一来就发现了眉目！”

Although he had met a few waves of strange people today, he had to say that Wu Ming left him the deepest impression on him.

"Just... what did you find?"

There was a sneer on Wu Hong's face: "People of a Seventh Grade God do even dares to take charge of the affair personally. Are you, little gentleman, even if you have some skills, are you not married for someone? Will it be implicated when you die?"

伍洪脸上就有些冷笑：“人家七品神祗，都不敢亲自掌管的事情，你一个小小士子，纵然有些本领，到头来，还不是为人作嫁？甚至被牵连，身死魂灭？”

"But the people from today are actually from Black Mountains... This is a little strange!"

Wu Hong blew out the oil lamp and slowly waling out. In the darkness, he listened a quiet sigh: "Black Mountains Monarch..."

.....

The second day.

Wu Ming deliberately came to the south of the city and walked casually but he found nothing; a day wasted in vain.

"No...Yesterday, the temple was obviously backdoored by someone, to lead me but why didn't it happen all day?"

He frowned and unconsciously came to the waterway.

There were several thatched houses built on the river banks, which are ruined and rough. This level of poverty was quite rare, even in the south.

On the rival channel, there were one or two tent boats sporadically which obviously shows what these people eat.

"Ayun? What's wrong with you, Ayun? Wake up!"

Suddenly, a shrill cries of a woman was heard.

In a single thought, Wu Ming surrounded him.

At this time, the crowd gathered early and a poor fisher-woman in the middle, hugged the girl who seemed to be only seven or eight years old, crying.

"What happened?"

"It turns out to be the lady of Xu family... alas... this family is really unlucky... When Liu Lang was there, his family was not bad. At this time, even his daughter was sick..."

"Speaking of which... Xu Liulang is not a layman. I heard that he can pass the water god. Every night, he has more fishes than ordinary fishermen."

"How did I hear that he had a friendship with the land god?"

"Alas... Unfortunately, a few months ago, when I went to Black Water Town, there were no shadows. Hell out of life, leaving these two maidens, alone and sorrowful, but even my daughter is like this, alas, this is life..."

“唉……可惜几月前，去黑水镇上，就此没影，一命呜呼，留下这娘俩儿，孤苦伶仃，现在却是连女儿都如此，唉，这就是命啊……”

...

Everything else is just there. The words 'Black Water Town' and 'Land' were like thunder in Wu Ming's mind.

"It turns out this..."

Wu Ming squeezed himself from the crowd forward: "Let me go through, I have practised an Ancient Medical Technique! Let me see this auntie!"

"Wu wu... doctor? Doctor? Save Ayun..."

At this time, the fisher-woman seemed to grasp the last  life-saving straw and pulled Wu Ming's sleeves.

"Ok?"

Wu Ming leaned over, rolled the girl's eyelids and took a pulse again. Seeing this feminine hair, the black hair of Yin Tang, his heart moved: "This is not a disease, it's an evil!"

At the same time, he was even more convinced that the City God guided him to find this family.

It's a slapstick again: 'what do you do with so many twists and turns? Playing trying to solve dumb mysteries?'

It is clear that although the Dao has manifested into this world with ghosts becoming visible. For some deities, the necessary rules must still be observed.

Ambiguous answers like is a way to reduce the karma incurred.

Otherwise, there would too much involvement and it will take on them, to a less supernatural karma, that is bad luck to the extreme.

Compared to the Yin God, Wu Ming is a person of the Yang world but far fewer scruples.

Immediately said: "I can save this girl, where is your home?"

"Over there!"

The fisher woman almost cried out of joy and Wu Ming came to a run-down thatched shed. There were scattered clothes and other things on the surrounding walls. A fishy odor came out, making Wu Ming frown.

When the girl was on the couch, she saw a blue and black air on her face, her brows furrowed and she seemed to endure great pain as she was obviously already dying.
