I Can Recognize Everything, But the Information is Wrong-Chapter 285 - 249 Lord Guangming

"Elder Ran, do you know the name of the newly established village?"

The Village Chief of Heishan Village didn't wait for Elder Ran to finish speaking and took the initiative to say: "This new village is named Gongming Village."

Gongming Village?

Tian Lin, who had been watching with cold eyes, took a sip of his tea and said, "If I'm not mistaken, the old Clan Leader had a nickname, called 'Gongming,' right?"

The Village Chief nodded and said: "Exactly, the old Clan Leader was known as the true man Gongming. This Gongming Village is naturally built in honor of the old Clan Leader."

At this time, someone knocked on the door outside.

After the Village Chief asked someone to open the door, who came in was a disciple of the Heishan Village clan.

That young man presented a letter in his hands and said: "This is a letter from Steward Wu to Elder Ran. Steward Wu said he has matters to attend to and can't come over."

Elder Ran immediately took the letter, tore it open and started reading the contents.

After reading the letter, he handed it to the Village Chief of Heishan Village.

The Village Chief looked at the letter and said: "Steward Wu wants me to take Elder Ran to the newly built Gongming Village, which is just a small effort. Wait until dawn tomorrow, and I will naturally take Elder Ran to Gongming Village."

After drinking, everyone bid farewell and left, and Elder Ran was, of course, looking very worried.

The next morning, a group of people arrived at the so-called Gongming Village.

Though Elder Ran arrived in time, Gongming Village had already been built.

The huge village had several hundred houses.

Huilong Village had not even a hundred families, which clearly meant there were plenty of houses to accommodate the people of Huilong Village.

The villagers of Huilong Village, who were unaware of the full story, were overjoyed as they looked at the finished houses and at the various sizes of Corpse Nourishing Wells in the village that already showed signs of starting operation. A group of people excitedly chose houses and started settling in.

However, Tian Lin, Elder Ran, and the Village Chief of Heishan Village went to the Gongming Temple located in the west.

The huge temple hall was empty inside and out.

The main hall had an altar, but on the altar was a new incense burner, and yet there was no God statue or shrine on the God's stage.

Elder Ran looked at the Village Chief with confusion. The Village Chief of Heishan Village said with a smile: "Don't be impatient, my friend, the old Clan Leader's corpse will be brought back soon."

Elder Ran's mouth twitched as he asked: "Hasn't the old Clan Leader's corpse run away already?"

The Village Chief of Heishan Village said with a smile: "Yes, although the old Clan Leader's corpse has run away, he could not leave his old home behind and came running back later.

Now that his subordinates, the Undead, have run off clean, and because he took root upon falling, he has become a wild Walking Corpse, unfit to rejoin the Xiangxi Sect.

It just so happens that the newly built Gongming Village has no protective deity, so we transported the old Clan Leader's corpse back here for Elder Ran and the villagers to Tribute.

This will not only prevent the old Clan Leader's corpse from being humiliated but also allow his corpse to protect Gongming Village."

What he called a win-win solution was, in Elder Ran's eyes, not as pleasant.

At that moment, the sound of gongs and drums came from outside. When Tian Lin and Elder Ran stepped out of the temple together, the villagers of Huilong Village had already been drawn to the entrance of the village by the sound of the drums.

They saw from a distance a large and solemn procession, with people dressed in mourning garments carrying a sealed red sedan, getting closer and closer.

Elder Ran, crying out loud, said: "This, this is the arrival of the old Clan Leader's corpse?"

Tian Lin glanced at Elder Ran and sighed, saying: "The Wu Family themselves are unwilling to Tribute their own old Clan Leader, which shows that this 'divine being' is probably not a True God." freewebnoveℓ.com

Tian Lin saw Elder Ran was too unlucky and did not mock him.

To know, when Elder Ran was in Yu Family Village back then, he refuted Tian Lin's discussion on 'True God' and 'Evil God'.

Now, it's clear that Elder Ran has gotten himself involved with an 'Evil God', one that is likely stronger than the local deity of Huilong Village, but to worship such an Evil God, how could the villagers of Huilong Village not sacrifice flesh?

"Invite the God into the temple!"

By this time, the large palanquin had already arrived at the entrance of the temple, led by a middle-aged man.

This middle-aged man glanced at Elder Ran and said, "Ran Er, quickly gather the villagers from your village to come and worship the deity."

Elder Ran hurriedly replied, "Brother-in-law, I will call them right now."

While Elder Ran was off to gather people, the middle-aged man greeted Tian Lin with a cupped fist salute:

"It seems that you must be a Disciple of the Immortal Gate from the Wendaos Sect, right? I do not have the Falling Yin Pill you want to buy. However, I have already mentioned this matter to my clan on the way here.

Since a new Clan Leader has yet to be chosen, it requires a meeting of the elders to open the Elixir storeroom. Therefore, please wait for another two days, Tian."

Tian Lin said, "Wu is too courteous, Tian has come uninvited and is already presumptuous. When exactly the Elixir can be purchased depends entirely on the convenience of the Wu family."

The middle-aged man stopped talking and instead turned to look at the crowd of villagers gathered outside the temple hall.

Gongming Temple was built very large, almost like an ancestral temple.

It's a pity that those standing inside this ancestral temple are not the descendants of Wu Gongming.

But looking at Wu Gongming's big red palanquin, and the beast skin-made evil-suppressing talismans stuck on it, it was clear that what was inside the palanquin was an 'evil ghost'.

It also indicated that the Wu family regarded their current old Clan Leader as an evil ghost. The reason why they had not burned it down directly was merely to avoid being ridiculed by others for lacking filial piety.

"Ran Er, you are now the Village Chief of Gongming Village. From today onwards, you will need to bring the villagers over daily to offer incense to Gongming God. And Gongming Temple must also be constantly guarded by a temple priest."

After his brother-in-law finished speaking, he stepped aside to make room.

From the crowd dressed in mourning clothes, an old man stepped forward.

Only after this old man turned his eyes did people realize he wasn't a dried corpse.

He then gave Elder Ran a cupped fist salute and said, "Village Chief Ran, we need to support each other from here on out."

Elder Ran shrank in stature, knowing that as the Village Chief, he had little say in front of this temple priest.

In other words, although he was the Village Chief of Gongming Village, the real person in charge was this temple priest.

"Temple Priest Wu, since Gongming God has been brought here, Wu will take his leave now."

The person looking like a middle-aged man gave a salutation and then, without exchanging further pleasantries with his brother-in-law, Elder Ran, left with a group of people.

After Elder Ran's brother-in-law took his leave, the courtyard of the small temple became brighter.

At this moment, the villagers of Huilong Village, old and young, unsure of what to do next, glanced at Elder Ran standing in front, then at Temple Priest Wu standing with hands behind him in front of the main hall; no one spoke a word.

But soon, everyone was attracted to the big palanquin on the altar that was making 'bang bang' sounds.

The villagers of Huilong Village still did not know who was inside it, but the Village Chief of Heishan Village, Elder Ran, and Tian Lin knew it was a top-grade Walking Corpse inside.

Such a top-grade Walking Corpse could only be subdued by Nascent Soul Experts.

"Alright, what are you staring for? Gongming God is hungry, aren't you presenting blood yet?"

Temple Priest Wu seemed to have gotten used to the commotion inside the palanquin and spoke up.

Elder Ran was taken aback and asked, "Present what blood?"

"Of course, it's human blood. From now on, you and your descendants must offer blood to Gongming God — if not, what use are you?"
