Overgod Ascension

Chapter 21: City Battle

The power of mobilization of a county is quite terrifying.

Not to mention, he is acting on behalf of the court and is Destiny's Protégé. If he asks for a document, it shall be stamped with the county seal, ordinary mountain spirits and even Mountain Gods cannot get close to him.

"It seems like I picked a hot potato…"

Wu Ming was a little depressed, but this was Overgod Palace's Mission so he had to take it.

Now that he looked at the sun, he saw that it approached noon and stopped looking around . He went to a restaurant and Shi Shiran walked in.

"This young master, please!"

There were gilt signs on the two floors of the restaurant which is obviously an old brand.

Just at the door, a shopkeeper with white towels on his shoulder stepped forward and gave a courteous reception: "Young Master is alone? Is sitting besides the window good?"

"Ok!"

Wu Ming went upwards and sat down, his nose moved slightly and he smelled the fragrant aroma of wine and meat: "Your sauce is good!"

"Naturally, our sauce lamb and sauce beef is a must in Heitai! The signature dish is decades old, but the beef is not often available. Young Master is lucky today, Zhang of Li Family fell the first cow. Our owner bought two beef legs back, it is fresh and hot…Do you want some?"

The shopkeeper could speak and Wu Ming laughed: "Then a pound… fry two vegetarians dishes and then a pot of wine!"

"Okay!"

The shopkeeper went down and quickly came up with a jug of wine. At this time, the food was precious and the liquor was a little turbid but fortunately, the degree was low and entrance was almost drinkable.

It didn't take a long time for the two vegetarian dishes to be served again, green and oily, verdant and fragrant. Wu Ming was already hungry but he wasn't in a rush, eating and drinking slowly, every actions were meticulous and at first glance, it was obvious that he was from an educated family.

"Young master, your sauce beef!"

When Wu Ming had eaten and drank of it, another slice of beef was presented. The colour was dark red and the texture was firm. After eating, his mouth was full of aftertaste.

"You wait!"

Wu Ming ate a few with chopsticks, secretly praised in his heart and immediately stopped Xiao Er

"Eh! What did the guest officer tell you?"

The shopkeeper asked, respectfully.

"I'm a foreigner, newcomer to your Heitai County. Doesn't it seem very peaceful lately?"

Wu Ming seemed to have no intentions of speaking.

"Ah… next to that ghost mountain, peace is rare." The shopkeeper smiled bitterly: "But the guest official said the same, in the past few months, there are rumours many people has died in Black Water Town… Even wandering monks and daoists invited to the county are all dead so nobody dares to go…"

"Oh? Is there a ghost?" Wu Ming's spirit rose.

"Who said it is not? The things on the edge of Black Mountains are all evil, especially… Since the destruction of the Temple Of Land in Black Water Town since March…"

The shopkeeper said with a sigh and consciously lost his words: "Guest officer, you're the first to use… if you want to greet the villain."

He went on in a hurry.

"The Temple of Land was destroyed? Is it because of the lack of land? It should be impossible to attract the souls of the dead. so something went wrong? That's not right… What's the matter if the land is in the town? Can't the City God just send one?"

There's not much to ask at this time, it's just a small shop owner, he can only know so much and it has already somewhat exceeded Wu Ming's expectations.

After drinking enough and paying a few hundred words to check out, money came out.

…

"City God Temple?!"

When he went out, Wu Ming asked for directions and came to the City God Temple.

There is God in this world!

Not only here, even the Great Zhou World also has a deity.

The ancient emperor is under Heaven's authority and had the power to make a life. He could also revive middle and lower level ghosts and sanctify Gods!

The origins of gods are varied.

Some of them are renown officials who lived in front of Fuze and after death, their spirits would be transported to a temple to be worshipped.

Some are born elves, naturally imbued with power of mountains, rivers and water veins to gain power.

Others are simply Mountain Spirit monsters, ghosts and evil spirits who deceived a country's fools into offering incense and blood to worship them.

It must be said that the source is strange, but it must be recognized by the court or it must have a priesthood before it can be regarded as a positive result. Otherwise, it would be regarded as a evil heretical cult and suppressed by the orthodox gouvernement.

The God of Heitai County was naturally classified as good seed. The temple covered a few acres and was quite solemn.

According to rumours, the Heitai City God's real name is Wang Xuanfan who was a monk from the former dynasty. During his time as the county magistrate R, he persuaded Sang to raise silkworms and clean up politics. The territory is awe-inspiring, with no roads left behind, closed doors at night, and population growth, which is called Dazhi.

Later the court raised taxes and this person asked help from the people, was exiled and died on the road. The county people felt they needed to build a temple for him but it was destroyed several times.

It wasn't until the dynasty that the governor heard about this and listened until the day. He then asked to the temple to be built and after several twists and turns, it was counted as a commandment.

When Wu Ming arrived at the shrine, he saw the altar and the statue above.

All around, the gods hang down. Cigarettes smashed, a fine Nuamu table which was dedicated the four-times offering and at the middle, was a middle-aged literary clay statue wearing a Seventh Grade official uniform and his eyes were solemn. It seemed majestic.

When in Rome, do as the Romans do, Wu Ming ignited the incense and worshipped a few times.

"Hum?"

In an instant, his eyebrows moved.

His martial arts reached Peak True Qi, Half-Step Innate, making him feel ten times more powerful than a simple mortal and at this time, he felt the attention of a force.

"Divine Power?"

This feeling disappeared in a flash and if Wu Ming's spiritual power was extremely sharp, he still wouldn't find it.

Of course, even if it's discovered, it was not big deal.

After all, there are different ways between yin and yang and it is not easy for gods to interfere with the Yang world, especially Wu Ming who's martial art almost reached the peak and people with strong blood are not easy to deal with.

"This pilgrim, please stay!"

After donating a silver oil scenting coin, Wu Ming wanted to leave but a voice came from his ear.

Looking back, he saw a person dressed up in the temple who smiled stood here: "What is the pilgrim asking for? Why not come to this place?"

"Alright!"

Wu Ming followed this temple wish without straying behind and came to a small table.

"I don't know if the guest official is asking about marriage? Or the future?" The temple was solemn and its aura had a hint of God.

This kind of thing was unbelievable in Wu Ming's previous life.

But at this time, when you come to the world of gods and ghosts, you would rather believe in what you have, not believe in nothing, just say: "Solve the problem!"

"So, feel free to write a word!"

Wu Ming picked the brush, rolled the white paper and randomly wrote the word 'no'.

"What?"

Miao Zhu exclaimed: "There was nothing in this world but where did the dust come from? According to your face's, there should be no disasters but how can there be such a person in this world? It is really strange!"

"This young master seeks to for a solution…"Miaozhu took out a turtle shell, a few copper coins and said a word from his mouth. Suddenly, the turtle shell and several copper coins were neatly arranged on white paper, complementing the word 'no'.

"The son of gods teaches gods, the fate of life is not something that I can watch. But if it's only difficult to solve, you can go South!"

"South?"

Wu Ming frowned, thinking about the county's layout. At this point in time, most of the East and West were rich while the North and the South were poor. The official residences were all based in the East and the West while in the North and South, were the place where poor people lives and there were even slums.

"The words of the devil cannot be trusted, but it`s fine to take a look! It`s just…"

Wu Ming sneered in his heart.

This county city god seems to regard him as a chess piece, being the chess player.

Of course, he was willing to be used as a chess piece, at least he gained some informations.

"Many thanks, sir, I will be leaving!"

Wu Ming finally took a deep look at Miao Zhu.

He saw this person in shock and his eyes were in shock. He seemed even more wretched but not broken, smiled slightly and threw a few dozens penny and strove out.

"Looks like… This should be the battle of the city, even the county, with other powerful forces. Even falling down or having scruples, to come to seek foreign aid?"

If it was an ordinary monk who encounters this karma, I am afraid it would have been too long to avoid it.

But Wu Ming was different.

As Miao Zhu said before, he has no karma in this world. He was just passing by, what's there to fear?

What about the county? What about the City God?

If you can reverse the way, you can cut it to what`s been before!

Of course, at this time, it was necessary to borrow strength. He is not second-year boy of later generations, shouting to fight against the heavens.

It is just that there was a lot of pride in his chest and he couldn't saying: "When the winds breaks the wave, there will be time to hang the clouds and sail the seas!"

"It is good!"

Suddenly, a gentleman dressed in azure clothes clapped next to him: "It's a good poem!"

Seeing Wu Ming's eyes looking over him, his face turned red: "I invite this young master to join me, my name is Ye Xiaoyou, accompanying my mother Xiang Xiang who happily came. Seeing this young master's extraordinary bearing, exporting into a chapter leaving the hearts longing for more, please excuse me of my rudeness…"

Looking back at this time, he saw Wu Ming was a fifteen, sixteen years-old young man with Jinyi robes and with the face like a crown jade.

"It turns out that you are Brother Ye, I'm Wu Ming, a traveller from far away…"

Wu Ming's hands arched and saw what was behind Ye Xiaoyou's back. Several magnificent carriages and costumed servants were standing behind him and you'll naturally that this person was born well.

"Master…"

At this time, he saw the car curtain slightly opened, revealing a pair of bright and favoured eyes, and for a while, a worn gold hairpin and a beautiful lady in skirt came in sight: "Mistress has been urging…"

"My mother called me, I'm sorry…"

Ye Xiaoyou was too embarrassed to shake his hands for the sake of ceremony: "At the entrance of Dongshui Valley is Xiaxia's home. It is the first one with two lion stones… If Brother Wu is free, don't forget to come to this younger brother!"

"Is this man a rabbit?"

After this person gave his goodbye, Wu Ming felt a chill.

Of course. in ancient times, by copying ancient poems, it could be used as a stepping stone but with thinking about overbearing power with worship coming from all directions, it was all a dream.
