Overgod Ch27

Chapter 27: Catastrophe

Within the ruin of the Taoist Temple.

It wasn't until Wu Ming left that the old Daoist stood up, paying attention to his image and sighed: "The qualification is average, the heart is good but there is a tribulation aura in the body which is suitable with my clean inaction..."

Calculating by hand, his expression changed again: "There is no history, no past life.... and divine protection... What is this person's roots? Is it... the big catastrophe is coming, is the world changing?"

At this point, he hurried away to the backyard, frowning and walking hurriedly.

.....

Wu Ming was rejected but he was a little excited.

After all, as long as the people is here, the Law is still here. It is something tangible and qualitative which you can find a way to get it.

Thinking all the way, he was about to back to the inn but then, two tolerances in soap clothes stood in the middle of the road: "Young Master Wu, we Wu Hong's men, request of you!"

'Oh? Can't help it anymore?’

Wu Ming smiled in his heart but he said: "I will naturally go, please lead the way!"

But it doesn't mean to see through these days.

"Come... Sit and try it, this wonton is not bad!"

Wu Hong was just in front of the roadside stall, wearing ordinary clothes but the majesty of his body could not be concealed: "Old head, another bowl!"

"Okay!"

The old man next to him boiled the water with a smile, freshly adjusted the meat sauce, wrapped in a thin wonton skin and threw it into the boiling water. After a while, a bowl was served, the wonton was clear, sprinkled with green onion, ginger and the like. The aroma was tangy, matching the now cold weather.

"It's really good! Very delicious!"

Wu Ming did not decline and gave one a try, tasting fresh and refreshing. What's even better is the broth , there is a strong flavor in it. Although crystal clear, it has a rich and endless aftertaste.

"Guest Officer likes it, this is the craft of this old man for decades..."

The old Zhang smiled and stood aside.

Wu Ming just kept eating by himself but keenly noticed that a dozen eyes closely monitoring this side with one or two of them being especially dangerous.

Knowing Wu Hong was already alerted, he must have already strengthened his alertness. At this time, it is not good to tell that he was leading the snake out of the hole and he didn't say anything. After he had eaten and drank enough, he asked: "Thank you, my lord, for letting me enjoy the food. But is there something you wish to ask?"

"There's naturally something!"

Wu Hong whispered as he gulped the soup in small interval, his eyes were deep: "Last night's mess, is it your work?"

"Yes!"

In the public gate, there are naturally good followers, Wu Ming did not think about keeping it for long: "These people can be caught..."

"Hmph!"

Wu Hong coldly snorted: "One died, one was caught and the other was sent by you today!"

"Originally... This official wanted to introduce you guys with each others but I didn't think they were actually a gang!"

He was dissatisfied in his speech, and naturally there was an atmosphere of suffocation, mixed with official coercion. The common populace would, at first glance, scared witless.

Wu Ming, however, was looking forward to it, seemingly unaffected.

After all, he had seen high-ranking officials in his previous life's TV and the Ninth Grade of a district did not fall into the disadvantage psychologically and besides, he was backed by Overgod Palace. At this time, there's also martial arts! It was the basis of his confidence!

一个区区的九品，心理上便不落入下风，况且，又有主神殿为后盾，此时还身有武功，这便是底气！

There are books and poems in the abdomen and the people will have confidence. His temperament is calm which made Wu Hong even more surprised.

Wu Ming was now arguing: "The gangsters dared to assassinate the imperial court, they are simply daring and mad, they have no relationship with us! I don't know what you want to ask?"

"With these, is it not enough?"

Wu Hong's face sank: "I heard that they were going to stab the county magistrate. It's really a bear-hearted leopard and they would ask again later... I'm dead!" 

"How will you die? Is it too harsh of a punishment?" Wu Ming asked with interest.

"Excessive punishment?" Wu Hong coldly snorted: "What a joke? Those who eat this bowl of rice in public domain can use punishment to make the prisoners wish to confess the three generations of their family. Afterwards, there will be not scars, is light or heavy?"

"Just asking key points about Black Mountains, you will die silently!"

Wu Hong said as he shivered. Obviously, the scene stimulated him: " After the inspection, it was not an emergency or poisoning, there is a prisonner but not a Daoist Magic evil charm..."

伍洪说着，还打了个激灵，显然那场面对他刺激非小：“事后检查，却不是急病，也没中毒，有狱神压着，更不是道法邪魅……”

'The killing of Overgod Palace?'

Wu Ming was cold in heart but his face did not reveal anything, making a startled look: "Is the man under Black Mountain Monarch?"

His face was a little ugly, he got up and gave a deep salute to Wu Hong: "Adult! I can myself ganrantee that I have no relationship with those gangsters. We'll deal with it so you won't take it to the Yamen, right?"

"This is..."

Wu Hong's face diminished: "Xian Zun also saw Lin Qizhi, talking about poetry for half an hour, which is quite commendable... I believe that you have nothing to do with Black Mountains, but... I hope you won't let me down, it would be difficult for me..."

In the end, he still have skills and the official position is old and oily. When he spoke, he seemed full of sincerity.

"Please rest assured. I will today to resolve Black Water Town's matter!"

Wu Ming was meaningful and profound: "It will not exceed the county's time limit..."

"So great!"

Wu Hong got up and settled the bill but old Zhangtou refused to accept the money. Finally, he changed his face before accepting it reluctantly. 

Wu Ming still said slowly: "Old Zhangtou, your soup is really good. Give me another bowl!"

"Okay, guest, please wait!"

Old Zhangtou turned back and swiped the cold sweat, not knowing if he sent a feeling of blasphemy. After all, Wu Hong sat here for a while but the business of one afternoon is gone!

'It seems.... the government is not eating dry food with many husbands banding together... It's easier than ever to ask something from newcomers."

Wu Ming slowly ate and drank, a sneer came from the corner of his mouth: 'It's just... Everyone's new and can't understand the Overgod Palace, what else can you say? Even if you're forced to confess secrets, it will be inaccurate and you will be obliterated...'

'Of course, some clues are still inevitable. At this time, Wu Hong would definitely not trust us anymore...'

Distrust begets distrust but now, we need them. I also showed my heart, this is enough!

For the superiors, some outsiders with unclear and suspicious origins, whether or not they can be trusted is not important. The important thing is they're still useful!

Now that Wu Ming put on an attitude of dying with Black Wind General and immediately set off, Wu Hong naturally had nothing to say. Anyways, he was not one of his own, so it's best that he goes to Black Water Town to solve the problem. It's a pity if he just die coming to the town but if both sides suffer, it's even better.

"If you continue to stay in the county... I'm afraid that it will more than simple surveillance!"

Wu Ming returned to the inn where he was staying and saw Ling Guhong with a few people. Shan Lan met Wu Ming and greeted him: "Thanks to Lin gonzi, the county magistrate Zhang Zhengyi is a gentleman and had a great conversation with him, even approving the application and ordered the bureaucracy to help, which perfectly justifiable!"

吴明回到下榻的客栈，见着凌孤鸿几个都在，山兰见着吴明，却是迎了上来，笑道：“这次多亏林公子出马，那黑台县令张正一倒是个文雅人物，与他相谈甚欢之下，甚至许了批文，又命衙役相助，我等却是名正言顺了！”
(This is especially hard to translate, so any comments is welcomed.)

It is very important to take advantage of the Government Authority's luck if you're right.

When Wu Ming heard it, he was very happy in his heart and he saw that Shan Lan and Ling Guhong also couldn't help themselves but to look like and say: "It seems that the two things are running smoothly!"

"Well not really, but the small gains can't be brushed off. Is young brother Unknown's trip not going well?"

Shan Lan asked thoughtfully. 

"It's ok...."
Wu Ming was not clear on his own intentions.

"Do you want to study in the Samsara world?"

Shan Lan smiled: "It's smart... This is indeed the most time-saving and labour-saving method but I am waiting for the next reincarnation. It is extremely difficult to take this path!"

"Why? Is there any tricks?"

Wu Ming's heart moved: "If sister Shan Lan is willing to tell the truth, this younger brother will be grateful!"

"It doesn't matter if you're grateful, it's something that everyone knows !"

Shan Lan gave Wu Ming a glance and said: "If you want to worship other people as teachers in the mission worlds, Martial Artists and the like are fine. Once it is a wizards, daoists or any high-ranking masters involved in mana, they are rarely willing to accept a Reincarnator as a disciple. Sing, coax, pester as you might, it is all useless! It is useless even you die kneeling at the door!"

"So strict? Why is that?"

Wu Ming asked with doubts.

"Why.... According to the rumours, those experts has opened the Spiritual Eye and see that we have tribulation aura and are very unhappy!"

Shan Lan said: "With the tribulation aura, it means that the world will come across tribulation. Once you become a teacher, you will be affected by karma and even hurt. The nature of practitioners are free, unless it's favours or kinship, will never promise the pass on the law!"

"Tribulation aura? Wait?"

Wu Ming looked a little ugly: "Is it the Overgod Palace?"

"In the Six Paths of Samsara, the world of heavens, the Overgod Palace overwhelm them with Missions, isn't it just a catastrophe?"

Shan Lan smiled bitterly and said: "So if you want to learn dao secret arts from the Mission world, unless you have great luck and destiny, you can only..."

Because of the presence of Lin Qizhi, she did not continue speaking but Wu Ming understood it immediately.

'Is it only killing others to win their possessions?'

Wu Ming secretly gritted his teeth: 'It's just that we haven't reach the last step yet, I can't get to this one..."

Although not finished, Lin Qizhi snorted: "You guys! Let's leave first!"

Those who practise Qi of Great Virtue must not violate their heart.

Even Confucius didn't teach people to murder to seize the treasures. If Lin Qizhi still listened, he would go to hell.

In fact, he did not know how to change his mind immediately.
Of course, it may also be because in Lin Qizhi's eyes, these people were only teammates who are in the same mission. There is no such thing as 'righteousness' and naturally, there is no need to give up.

"Brother Lin may wish to wait, this is really a bit of thing!"

Wu Ming looked solemn and said about Wu Hong’s affairs today and finally concluded: "It seems that our mission this time is urgent, otherwise Heitai County will not tolerate us. ! "
