Black Mountain Old Ghost

Chapter 616 He Can Be Trusted

“The meaning of first priority is that when you are conducting this investigation, you have the power to request assistance from any Reincarnator.”

Miss Red Wine spoke seriously, as if afraid others wouldn’t hear clearly, her voice slow: “Since this is to serve all Reincarnators, naturally you should also receive the help of all Reincarnators. I hope everyone can vote to pass my suggestion.”

“……”

Miss Red Wine’s words took those present by surprise, but also plunged them into thought.

“This is the first time such an attempt has been made within the Reincarnator community, but I have no objections. Compared to the risks Brother Old White Liquor will be taking, this is still shallow.”

Soon, someone replied, prompting many responses: “Indeed, I have no objections either.”

“As long as you want to live, as long as you are a Reincarnator, there’s no reason to object.”

“Agreed!”

“Same here!”

“……”

Miss Red Wine’s proposal regarding the first priority unexpectedly received unanimous approval from the team leaders of each state and prefecture. Even Hu Ma felt somewhat surprised.

This was something he was going to do anyway, but from a Reincarnator's perspective, it was indeed a dangerous task.

To receive such a promise among Reincarnators was an unexpected delight.

Earlier, Miss Red Wine had reminded him that a general representative of all Reincarnators might be chosen at this gathering, which had made Hu Ma uneasy.

In fact, the characteristics of Reincarnators made it difficult for a general captain to truly gain the trust of everyone. Compared to that, this first priority was more suitable. If a general captain was chosen so hastily, it would feel like an informal game.

“Okay, I’ll take on this matter.”

Seeing that everyone had agreed, Hu Ma took a deep breath and said, “Everyone, this concerns life and death. I will do my best, but since it concerns the two great surnames, I’m not sure if this matter can be handled smoothly.”

“If it can, that’s our good fortune. If it ultimately doesn’t go well, then we really have to prepare for a fight with them, and let them taste the power of us evil spirits.”

“……”

Hearing this, everyone laughed: “That’s right.”

“We’ve been hiding from the Ten Surnames all along. Now that we’re really going to start dealing with them, I’m… a little excited!”

“Brother Old White Liquor is mighty!”

“Before you do this, don’t forget the blood offerings you promised me.”

“Brother Monkey Wine is awesome!”

“……”

“……”

After some discussion, the results of this first Reincarnator gathering were largely settled. The remaining tasks were then divided among everyone as their priorities.

Compared to the beginning, the proactiveness of each Reincarnator had increased tenfold!

Before, it was just said that Reincarnators actually had an innate responsibility to contend for the Mandate of Heaven, to slay the Grand Duke, otherwise there might be a catastrophe…

The Reincarnators had come because of this, but in reality, everyone didn’t take it too seriously, with the mentality that having more lice doesn’t make you itch more.

But now it was said that they would soon be exposed?

Screw them!

Regardless of whether it was Noble Zhang or Spirit-Penetrating Meng, they had to be screwed!

After a discussion, tasks were assigned, and the meeting broke up after a long and noisy time. Hu Ma disconnected from the others and immediately went to prepare for the investigation of this cleansing.

The other team leaders should also be passing the news to more Reincarnators there, but just after they dispersed, many people contacted Miss Red Wine directly and said, "Miss Red Wine, I've heard of your reputation."

"A long time ago, someone mentioned that there was a Reincarnator in Anzhou who was very radical, managing Anzhou as a solid iron plate. If a Reincarnator caused trouble, they would often go to Anzhou and get your help."

“……”

"Don't mention the word radical again."

Miss Red Wine seemed to know why these people had come to find her, and only sneered and said, "I am a conservative now."

"Look at these few people in Mingzhou, and you'll understand."

"Brother Old White Liquor doesn't need to be mentioned. He's willing to contribute and handles big matters. As for the others, Miss White Wine was the first to discover the key to xianqi (immortal energy), and brought about its wonderful effects for us, and is trying to unlock the secrets of this most mysterious thing."

"And that Brother Erguotou was the first to try taking xianqi (immortal energy)…"

"It is said that there is another one in Mingzhou, but his reputation is not obvious. Probably an honest one."

"Compared to them, what is Anzhou? What can it be?"

“……”

"But what I want to ask you in private is precisely this."

That Reincarnator said slowly: "The things that the Mingzhou Reincarnators are doing are too radical. They are also the group of people closest to that Hu family descendant who suppresses evil."

"And now, this gathering, and the most important information in this gathering, mostly comes from them..."

"They infiltrated the Town Suppressing Prefecture to become Daotang officials, and can even lend this identity to others. They learned about the second Reincarnator cleansing. They can produce tens of thousands of catties of blood offerings, and even..."

He paused, and then lowered his voice and said: "Purple Grand Duke, I actually understood it before. It is said that this thing is untouchable except for the Ten Surnames, but they have already begun to study it, and some people have even taken Purple Grand Duke!"

"This ability is amazing. You say, is it possible..."

“……”

"I know what you want to say."

Miss Red Wine interrupted him before he could explain everything, and said in a low voice: "In fact, everyone who participates in this gathering will have this idea."

"But what I want to say is that the characteristics of Reincarnators determine that we are just a pile of loose sand. We can never form that kind of effective top-down management, and it is impossible to ask everyone to entrust all their secrets and trust."

"If we want to do something together, the only thing we can count on is our previous lives' fetters and the resonance of our souls."

"I understand your caution, and I must admit that Mingzhou is indeed ahead of us in many things, especially the most core person. There are too many anomalies in him. I have even personally investigated him..."

"But..."

Speaking of this, her expression became much more solemn, and she said seriously: "Whether it is Miss White Wine, or others who know the inside story, we all think..."

"...Mr. Erguotou is trustworthy!"

“……”

"Sure enough!"

The person who heard the news was shocked, and said quickly: "Do you have any evidence?"

Miss Red Wine sighed and said: "He does belong to the Ghost Gate Dao, and has also entered the Old Yin Mountain to retrieve the strange treasure of the Ghost Gate Dao. Moreover, he settled in Mingzhou from the beginning, raising a red lantern in front, and hiding behind the scenes himself."

"In the previous fierce battle against evil spirits in Mingzhou, everyone else showed up, but he, the Right Protector, hid himself, but everything revolved around the red lantern under his control..."

“……”

Speaking of this, she sighed in a low voice and said: "The most important thing is that when Miss White Wine first came into contact with him, she knew his identity, and of course she had to investigate it by the way. At that time, she discovered..."

"...In fact, his surname is Hu, but he never tells outsiders, but he is not as candid as Old White Liquor and never hides it!"

"Oh, yes, you only saw Old White Liquor doing things now, but you don't know that Old White Liquor was promoted and guided by him..."

“……”

"Ah, this..."

The person who inquired about the news was a little confused when he heard this, and said tremblingly: "Even so, you still trust him so much?"

"Yes!"

Miss Red Wine said slowly: "What he does are real things, why not believe it?"

"Reincarnators are brought together to do things based on favors and interests. If we suspect people for no reason, what else can we do?"

"Of course, caution is right, let's observe and observe..."

“……”

“……”

Thinking about the arrogant and unruly guys who looked like they were going to a fair when they first came over, it was already rare to be able to discuss things so seriously.

And seeing what they discussed really made people feel safe.

Perhaps, the more unreliable guys usually are, the more reliable they become when they get serious?

He first slowly sorted out his thoughts on what he was going to do, then called Erguotou, and then the two of them connected separately. At this moment, everyone else was busy delivering news to the Reincarnators in each region, and only Brother Erguotou was idle.

Although he was the nominal representative of Mingzhou, but looking at his subordinates, he was really about the same as a commander without an army...

"What's up?"

As soon as he connected, Erguotou's voice sounded a little muffled.

"Why doesn't it sound right?"

Hu Ma wondered and smiled: "This gathering was successful, and you, old brother, have become the team leader of our Mingzhou. Isn't that a good thing?"

"That's why I'm depressed..."

Erguotou said: "In our Mingzhou, besides you, that thick-browed and big-eyed guy, there's also Miss White Wine, who is usually rational, but becomes obsessed as soon as she encounters xianqi (immortal energy), and then there's Sweet Potato Wine..."

"...No, what virtue and ability do I have to become the team leader of you guys?"

"The team leader is supposed to represent the opinions of others and lead others to do things. Which of you guys will listen to me?"

"...Why do I feel like I'm being pushed out to take the blame?"

“……”

The more he thought about it, the more depressed he became: "Furthermore, the more I think about it, the more wrong it feels. I passed on the news about this xianqi (immortal energy) for Miss White Wine, and the momentum is really not small."

"Now it's just being discussed internally, but once this news spreads, think about how many restless Reincarnators will be eyeing that xianqi (immortal energy)? I'm afraid they will all come to me for Purple Grand Duke?"

"But that was originally mine, am I going to be embarrassed to not give it to them when they shamelessly ask for it?"

"...Sigh!"

“……”

"Isn't that clearly our Hu family's thing, and you shamelessly say it's yours?"

Hu Ma slandered in his heart, but advised: "After all, it concerns the survival of the Reincarnator group, there's no way around it, is there?"

"However, now is not the time to talk about these things. I'm looking for you, old brother, because I have an important thing to ask you. Have you ever heard of the Wangxiang City in the Yin Mansion?"
