"Since I saw the layman last time and found out that you were carrying the aura of calamity, the old Taoist turned back to the mountain, silently channeled mana, calculated the secrets of heaven, and the result of the divination was a catastrophe of heaven and earth!"
Cang Wuzi's face was confused: "Seeing this, the old Taoist can only try his best to go down the mountain to respond to the robbery, and invite his colleagues to seek countermeasures. This time, he found that the Black Mountain Monarch tried to attack the legal realm. If he succeeds, the three realms will be chaotic. The elder brother who is in charge of you is looking for a righteous man to go to the Underworld to inquire, but he didn’t want to find you again. This fate is really surprising...I don’t know what happened in the Underworld?"
"In the Underworld?"
This is not a secret, Wu Ming will tell what he saw and heard immediately.
Cang Wuzi was shocked when he heard this: "Not good! I found out that Lord Heishan was arranging rituals before, and the area of the formation included even the city of Heitai County, but I didn't expect it to be doing such a big thing. The souls are all going to the ghost country of Heishan, so don't we die without a place to bury our lives?"
"Why this?"
Wu Ming was even more surprised: "We waited for the Orthodox Church to join forces, and the power of the imperial court, to no avail... and the Heitai City God, and even the Mansion City God above it, a little black mountain old demon, what kind of disturbance can it cause? "
"As expected... you don't know anything about it!"
As soon as these words came out, Cang Wuzi's old man's expression was very strange, but Wu Ming's heart froze, knowing that he had said something wrong, he smiled awkwardly: "I am a rough mountain people, and I haven't been out of Heitai County. Could it be that there are people outside? What's wrong?"
"It's not just wrong?"
Hearing this, Cang Wuzi smiled bitterly: "Do you know that our country is called 'Lone Bamboo', but in fact there are only three prefectures and twenty-one counties, and together with the three hundred miles of Black Mountain, it is all the lands and mountains. !"
"So... small?!"
Wu Ming was a little surprised, and blurted out, "What about beyond the border?"
"Beyond the borders of the country, there is an endless sea area, or... our land is originally a huge island in the sea..."
Cang Wuzi said: "There are records in the ancient books of our sect, which say that our sect originated from China in the Middle Earth. After the great change in the way of heaven, the state of China was torn apart, and Black Mountain and the three nearby prefectures were torn up to this point. It's been a year..."
'This sounds, why does it seem like a small plane that was cut off? '
A somewhat strange thought flashed through Wu Ming's mind, and he said, "Even so, I will wait for the practitioners to join forces, plus the city gods of the three prefectures and twenty-seven counties, and a Black Mountain Monarch... Wait... Could it be..."
A look of horror appeared on his face.
"good!"
Cang Wuzi nodded, "Although there are sacrifices in other prefectures and counties, the only city god who can truly manifest spirits is the Heitai City God! It can even be said that without the Heitai City God, there is no one to control Heishan Lord! "
"Now... the biggest righteous master of my Lone Bamboo Country, and all the practitioners, are all in this little Yunji Temple..."
There was a helpless expression on his old and thin face.
"The truth is actually like this? In a small country with few people, the gods only have two city gods and a tiger. Even the world of practice is like this... rushing to the street..."
Wu Ming was quite speechless, silent for a long time, and finally asked the doubts that had been entrenched in his heart: "This Heitai City God is just a former Jinshi, who has contributed to the people, so he was sacrificed. Ding, is this only recognized? Why is this the only god with spirit?"
"Do you believe the saying that the surname Wang is a Jinshi?"
Cang Wuzi asked a rhetorical question.
"Folk legends are indeed unverifiable, and there are even many examples of using falsehoods to cultivate the truth..."
Wu Ming said thoughtfully: "It seems... this black city god must have a mysterious origin, and he may not even have the intention of obtaining sacrifices under the guise of fame... What is this for?"
"Unfortunately, Pindao doesn't know anything about this!"
Cang Wuzi spread his hands: "Actually... the Lord of our country has always been devout to the Tao and respected the gods. If the Lord of Heishan and the City God of Heitai are willing, it is not impossible to be directly enshrined as a national sacrificial offering, but these two have always kept Here, restraining each other, it seems that there is some kind of life and death enmity, it is really puzzling!"
"Perhaps... people don't think highly of the priests of this small country!"
Wu Ming thought of the underworld.
The Heishan King can establish the Heishan Ghost Kingdom, and the Heitai City God can build the Heitai Yin City by himself, accommodating millions of ghost people. This is almost dividing up the power of the Yin Division together!
Only the city god of Heitai, with strong luck, is probably not inferior to the lords of the three prefectures and twenty-one counties, let alone the Heishan Lord who sits on the three hundred miles of Heishan.
Of course, human luck, no matter what god, can't be too much.
This point of sacrifice is not considered to be one aspect. The biggest reason is probably the mutual restraint between the two gods.
After all, the current situation is that the Heitai City God can barely compete with the Heishan Lord relying on humanity.
No matter which one gets the sacrificial offering from the Lone Bamboo Kingdom, it will have the power to shake the final outcome of the balance. Therefore, the result of restraining each other is that neither of them will be able to sacrifice.
As for the sacrifice of the same country, it is equivalent to shaking hands to make peace, and the two gods are enough to exhaust the luck of the country, and no one would do such a stupid thing.
However, Wu Ming is most concerned about what Cang Wuzi said before, the matter of the Black Mountain Dharma Realm.
Immediately asked: "What is the intention of the Dharma Realm arranged by Lord Heishan in the eyes of fellow Taoists?"
"Conspiracy?"
Cang Wuzi was stunned: "I don't know the poor, but judging from the ability to forcibly absorb the living soul, I know that it is no small matter... Moreover, the scope is extremely wide, and it may be affected in several nearby counties except Heitai County!"
"Monarch Heishan's magical power is really vast like a sea of smoke, and he has thousands of volumes of scriptures hidden in his belly. He accommodates the rituals of the magic circle in the sky and the earth, and naturally forms a formation. He is old and incompetent. He can't even read it, let alone crack it. it's..."
"Just one thing is inevitable, if Heishan Jun does this, there will be a battle between Heitai City God!"
Wu Ming's face was solemn, and his jaw was also on the head.
This is easy to understand.
Otherwise, if this magic circle is allowed to continue to function, the souls of the dead in Heitai County will all go to the Heishan Ghost Country, and the Heitai City God will not be replenished, and it will only become weaker and weaker as the battle progresses.
Therefore, it is necessary to fight, even the sooner the better!
"It seems... the key to this mission may lie in this Dharma Realm..."
Wu Ming thought to himself, and got up again to salute: "Thank you, Daoist, for explaining the confusion! I want to meet some friends first, okay?"
"Of course!"
Cang Wuzi was stunned: "The righteous man will do such a feat, which will benefit all the people, and he will be free. No one in the Taoist temple can restrain him!"
After all, he got up in a hurry. It seemed that the news he got from Wu Ming was a little scary, and he needed to find someone to discuss countermeasures.
…
Two days passed by in a flash.
Li Suihan, Xu Ziquan and others also gradually recovered, and met Wu Ming several times, except for Wu Ming to confirm that the task they received was also to defeat the Black Mountain Lord, and they were helpless.
It's just bits and pieces of news, and I found out a little more.
First of all, in this catastrophe, the real cultivators in the practice world, as long as they have some achievements, basically come. Unfortunately, it seems that there are still few soldiers and crab generals, and there are not many mages. It is not worth looking forward to at all.
And Zheng Yidao is the leader of the practice world, and this time the real person in charge has also come, and he is the only real person in Lone Bamboo Kingdom!
It's a pity that this person is quite busy, Wu Ming asked to see him several times, and wanted to let him give advice on Taoism, but he failed.
"However... there is good news!"
Wu Ming touched the letterhead in his bosom, and his face was a little excited.
"The original Heitai county magistrate, Zhang Zhengyi, is a layman who believes in Zhengyi. With this kind of relationship, the previous things are naturally nothing..."
At this time, he had already changed into a green shirt and was walking on the official road in Heitai County.
"It's always hearsay, but it's hard to get a glimpse of the truth. It's the most accurate way to see it all by myself..."
Just as he was thinking, there were two soap-coated tolerance officers blocking the way ahead: "Stop! Our inspectors are welcome!"
"Inspection? Could it be Wu Hong, who is really an acquaintance!"
Wu Ming smiled: "It's just right, I'm going to the Yamen too, let's meet together!"
This indifferent attitude immediately made the two tolerance officers somewhat startled and uncertain.
Moreover, they also knew something a little bit. The black wind monster that made a lot of noise in Heishui Town last time was leveled by this person in front of them.
Although the result caused some confusion and caused headaches for the gentlemen in the government, but for the people below, it is better not to offend this kind of stranger who has mastered strange techniques.
Seeing Wu Ming like this now, he just waved his hand: "Please!"
Even Wu Ming didn't dare to use some means of dismounting his authority.
"Hey! Do you really dare to come back?"
After entering the yamen, Wu Hong, the inspector, sneered: "I need the master to help you clean up the mess last time..."
"No matter what, after all, Blackwater Town was flattened. Is this the result?"
Wu Ming spread his hands together: "As for Fujing, it's your business!"
Last time, others had little strength and had scruples, but now they have grown a lot, have a well-thought-out plan, and have a self-sufficient bearing, which made Wu Hong a little surprised.
With this time, he naturally checked Wu Ming's old background, and naturally knew that what he said last time was all lies. Seeing Wu Ming's indifferent attitude at this time, he became angry: "Hidden household registration, unknown origin, no matter how you look at it Big crime, aren't you afraid that I will take you down?"
"Wait!"
A red light flashed in Wu Ming's eyes, but he let out a soft drink. Wu Hong and the two tolerances were shocked, and they were even more surprised.
They all have the luck of the public, and they can use the law to disrupt them. This kind of cultivation is really unfathomable.
But Wu Hong shouted directly: "Do you want to arrest?"
At this time, he was in the yamen, but he was not afraid at all that Wu Ming's Taoism was powerful, he could turn the world upside down, and if he dared to resist, he would directly take it down.
"No! It's just that I have a handwritten letter from Mr. Xianzun here, and I need to submit it. My background, the cause and effect of the last incident, all contain..."
Wu Ming took out the letter paper unhurriedly, and said with a smile, but it made Wu Hong want to vomit blood.
