"Auntie, don't be anxious!"
Wu Ming pressed her pulse and slowly transferred a stream of vital energy into her body. However, it was only slightly alleviated. He frowned.
If it was a cold or a disease, he would only need to transfer a stream of vital energy. Although it might not be able to strengthen one's foundation and cure all illnesses, it would at least wake up.
However, it was the invasion of evil spirits, which was completely different from using vital energy.
"Sigh … I didn't expect to use this on this girl for the first time …"
Wu Ming took out a yellow talisman and his face twitched slightly.
However, it was just one, and it involved the secrets of the City God. Seeing that this family was pitiful, he decided to do it.
"Please bring me a bowl of water!"
Although Wu Ming looked like he was only 15 or 16 years old, he was extremely dignified. His every move was decisive and could not be disobeyed.
The fisherwoman agreed and immediately fetched a bowl of hot water.
The bowl was a coarse ceramic bowl. The glaze had faded a lot, and there was a gap at the edge. It was filled with clear water.
Wu Ming did not say anything when he saw this. He held the Talisman with his right index and middle finger and flashed again.
"Whoosh!"
A ball of flame appeared and instantly ignited the talisman. The bright yellow flame swallowed the Talisman, turning it into ashes that fell into the water.
The fisherwoman at the side was rather stunned by this sight.
"Feed this evil-warding talisman to your daughter! Prepare a pot and other things … "
Wu Ming stood up, but there was a hint of a sigh.
If it was a real Taoist priest, the effect would be better if he used his magical power to activate the evil-warding Talisman. He did not even need to transform the talisman into water.
However, the vital energy of a martial artist and the magical power of a Taoist priest were both extraordinary powers. Naturally, there were similarities between them. When Wu Ming chose the Talisman and other items, he specially chose the ones that could be used by ordinary people. Naturally, there was no problem.
However, this was as far as he could go.
A real high-level Talisman, as well as high-level magical treasures and Taoist weapons, could not be used by non-cultivators. In fact, there were even requirements for the Taoist priest's cultivation level. This was not what Wu Ming could hope for.
"Yun 'er is awake! Yun 'er is awake! "
At this moment, hearing the excited shouts of the Xu family, the eyelids of the little girl on the bed twitched and she opened her eyes. A pained expression appeared on her face, and she suddenly lay on the edge of the bed and vomited.
In fact, the juice he spat out was pitch-black and dense like ink. It carried a foul stench, and there seemed to be small worms squirming within it.
The girl kept vomiting, and in the end, the black liquid she spat out even filled half of the jar. Only then did she fall asleep. Although her face was still pale, it was no longer the greenish-black color from before. Her breathing was even, and her life could be considered saved.
"When she wakes up, I'll boil some ginger soup and nourish her with Yang energy, and she'll be fine …"
Wu Ming flicked his sleeve and the windows and doors opened. A cool breeze swept through and expelled the filthy air. He then walked outside and gazed at the river. No one knew what he was thinking.
"Benefactor! I am unable to repay you for saving my life. Even if I have to work like an ox or a horse in the future, I will repay your great kindness! "
Behind him, the Xu Family's madam walked out, but suddenly bowed down.
"There's no need for that!"
Wu Ming raised his hands. "The reason why I saved this girl is because I have some doubts that I need you to answer …"
"Benefactor, if you have any questions, I will tell you everything I know!"
The Xu Family's madam said solemnly.
"Actually, this matter … has a lot to do with your daughter. I'm sure you can see that your daughter is not sick, but bewitched!"
Just as Wu Ming's words left his mouth, the Xu family's lady almost collapsed to the ground. Her eyes were lifeless and her mouth only muttered, "As expected … as expected … Qie knew that it wouldn't let us go …"
"Who is it referring to?"
Wu Ming asked immediately.
The Xu Family's madam shook her head slowly. "Benefactor, it's better if you don't know. Otherwise, you will bring trouble upon yourself. How can I feel at ease?"
"It's not that I brought trouble upon myself. It's been there for a long time … Do you know the notice in the county? I was the one who exposed it! "
"It's you?!"
The Xu Family's madam was shocked. She then nodded. "Then I should tell you everything!"
"Yes, your man, Xu Liulang … I heard that he befriended the Water God and the Land God. Is that true?"
Wu Ming asked immediately.
"Of course it's true …"
The Xu Family's madam seemed to be deep in thought. "Liulang is forthright and likes to be kind to others. He also has Yin Yang Eyes and can see the Land of the Underworld. When he was fishing, he befriended a water ghost. That's why he could return with great rewards every time …"
"After that, the water ghost accumulated merit points and was appointed as the Land God of Black Water Town. Liulang cherished his old friend and often visited him. Every time, he would return drunk …"
"A few months ago, Liu Lang had a panicked expression on his face. He told me that his old friend was in great trouble and that he had to be saved, so he went to Black Water Town … Who knew … Who knew that he would be separated forever! Sob sob … "
The woman was obviously sad, and her tears fell like a broken string.
"Courageously sacrificing for justice. What a man!"
Wu Ming praised and asked, "Do you know who his enemy is?"
"Although he doesn't want me to know, I heard bits and pieces. He's the Black Wind General, one of the 18 Cave Masters under Lord Kurosan! He seems to be fighting for the Deity Position with the Land God of Black Water Town … "
The Xu Family's madam wept as she spoke. Wu Ming felt a headache coming on.
"Lord Kurosan? The 18 Cave Masters? The Black Wind General? And the Deity Position? "
However, he immediately knew that he seemed to have gotten himself involved in something terrible.
He also remembered that Black Water Town was at the foot of Black Mountain. It was like the frontline of a battlefield, and there were two big shots fighting behind it. He felt a chill run down his spine.
After asking a few more questions and getting no more information, Wu Ming left behind a few taels of silver and left with a sigh.
…
"Lord Kurosan? It sounds like a king, but since it's named after a mountain, could it be a Mountain God? Or is it some big demon? "
Wu Ming felt a headache coming on.
After two rounds, he saw the sign of East Water Alley. The first mansion on the street was the Ye Family. It occupied a lot of land, and the two stone lions at the entrance were quite imposing.
"If I want to know about Lord Kurosan's background, I have to check the county and geographical records …"
Wu Ming made up his mind and went to the Ye Mansion. "May I ask if Young Master Ye Xiaoyou is here? I am Wu Ming, a friend of Young Master Ye. We had an invitation before … "
The doorman saw Wu Ming's dignified appearance and extraordinary posture. He did not dare to delay and immediately went in to report.
Not long after, Ye Xiaoyou came out to welcome him with a smile and called him brother. "Brother Wu, you really made me wait for a long time. The more I think about the poem, the more I think about it. I was just about to ask …"
…
"Lord Kurosan?!"
In the courtyard of the inn where Shan Lan and the others were staying, they heard Wu Ming's words and were in disbelief. "Is he our target?"
"Not really!"
Wu Ming said, "I borrowed the county records from a scholar's house and found out that this lord's background is mysterious. Rumor has it that he was a general from the previous dynasty who killed countless people. After his death, his soul became a god and he became the lord of the three hundred miles of Black Mountain. Of course, there are also rumors that he was a black tiger that became a spirit and called himself the Black Mountain …"
"No matter what, this is going to be troublesome …"
Shan Lan's face was ashen. "Since he is the Mountain God, he can use the spiritual energy of the three hundred miles of Black Mountain. He doesn't even need much incense from the mortal world. He is so powerful that he is even stronger than the City God!"
Such a famous god had the support of the spiritual energy of the mountains and rivers. He did not need much faith from the mortal world.
In comparison, he was even more carefree than the City God of the Black Platform.
Of course, his strength was the same.
After all, one controlled the three hundred miles of mountains while the other only controlled a small county. It was clear who was stronger and who was weaker.
"Furthermore … just from the records and the bits and pieces of information that have been leaked, we know that this lord is tyrannical and tyrannical, and not a good god …"
Wu Ming sighed. "It is obvious … The change in the Black Water Town is because of the lack of land … Behind it is the shadow of the Lord Kurosan … Of course, according to my estimation, we only have to deal with the Black Wind General!"
"Of course, only the Black Wind General. Otherwise, even if all of us were to join forces, we might not even be able to fight against the Mountain God …"
Shan Lan rolled her eyes. "But the City God of the Black Platform is involved … This is not a small matter. However, we can be sure that the rewards will be very bountiful … There might even be an imperial order!"
"Imperial order?!"
Wu Ming knew about this too. However, it was useless to the living. It was only useful to the Yin spirits of the dead and spirits. It was said that there were many restrictions. Although it could also be used for immortality, it was inferior.
"At least it is an insurance after death … but … is the imperial order of this world still useful in the Dazhou?"
Wu Ming rolled his eyes and asked this question. Suddenly, Shan Lan was dumbfounded. "It should … probably … be a little useful?!"
At the end of her words, she was not so sure herself.
"Forget it … whether to eat the wild geese steamed or boiled, we have to kill them first …"
Wu Ming smiled. "The situation is clear now … The original land of the Black Water Town was sent by the City God of the Black Platform. He was prepared to lay a trap at the foot of the Black Mountain, but the Lord Kurosan counterattacked. His subordinate, the Black Wind General, killed the land. Maybe he even stole the god's position and released many ghosts to disturb the people's lives …"
At this moment, he was a little scared.
Fortunately, he did not force his way into the depths of the Black Mountain. Otherwise, if he really met the Lord Kurosan, he would have died a terrible death.
Obviously, the Main God Temple would not let them fight to the death in the Black Water Town. That was why they issued the announcement and investigation mission.
But now, it was time to see the blood of the bayonet.
Wu Ming moved his mind, and the Main God Temple's prompt appeared.
