Zongman: I am in Shuchiin, my last name is Uchiha

In the living room, the housekeeper Wansaka bowed slightly, "Three young ladies, Master Ling said he had something to do and left early. But before he left, he made a pot of tea for the three of you, I hope you can enjoy it."

.....

On the other side, Uchiha Ling had already arrived at the foot of the mountain that Natsume mentioned. At this time, Natsume was holding the somewhat drunk cat teacher.

"Let's talk about this while we're walking. I'll help Mr. Cat sober up once we get into the forest."

Natsume nodded and then told what happened to him today.

It turns out that the kind and gentle Natsume agreed to the request from his classmate, Tomoya Aki, and became the proposed male protagonist of the other's game.

And today, Tomoya Aki planned to invite three people from the current game production group to have dinner in the mountains, and then... everyone except Natsume disappeared.

Uchiha Ling pondered for a moment, "I understand."

Natsume also looked towards the mountain, "Well, there must be a monster on this mountain, otherwise it would be impossible for all three people to disappear right under my nose!"

Uchiha shook his head. "What I mean is that Aki Tomoya is an absolute disaster. If you stay away from him, you won't be involved in this kind of thing."

Natsume scratched his head in embarrassment, "But even if I didn't come, he would have brought the other two girls with him, right? If I hadn't come out to inform you, they would have been in great danger."

Following the mountain road, Natsume, holding the cat teacher, soon arrived near a mountain temple.

Uchiha Ling: "Is this where they disappeared?"

"Well, An Yi said that he often came to this mountain temple when he was a child. It is quiet and cool here. There is also a large lake nearby, which is very suitable for picnics."

Very good, Uchiha Ling had reason to suspect that this kid had offended the mountain god and was punished.

"Natsume, put the cat teacher on the ground first. I'll help him sober up, and then ask him what's going on. I don't know much about monsters and mountain gods."

Natsume obediently put the cat teacher on the ground.

"Water Style: Water Wave! Wind Style: Big Breakthrough!"

After Yanyunjiang performed a set of Happy Bathing combos, Teacher Cat felt as if he had just been rinsed by cold water and then was blown dry by a gust of wind.

Cat teacher: “???”

He was completely sober, but Teacher Cat still hadn’t realized what had just happened!

"Hmm... Natsume, where is this place?!"

Natsume told the cat teacher again what had just happened, and then pointed at the mountain temple.

"Just half an hour ago, I was going to the lake to get some water, and when I came back, they were all gone, and the phone couldn't be reached."

As he spoke, Natsume looked towards the lake not far away, then his pupils condensed, and he picked up the cat teacher and ran over quickly.

Uchiha Ling also followed immediately, and what they saw... was a wooden boat floating on the water.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!

There were no oars on the boat, so the small wooden boat was just drifting with the current.

Natsume: "There's someone on the boat!"

The two men and the cat looked intently and saw a woman in a white dress whose face could not be seen clearly, staring at the water on a wooden boat in the middle of the lake. Then...she submerged her entire face in the water.

The lake water was rippling slightly, and the woman kept her face buried in the water, with no sign of coming out.

Natsume: "What is she doing?"

Uchiha Ling: "Who cares? If it's a human, I'll rescue it. If it's a monster, I'll attack it."

Teacher Cat: "You two idiots, stop staring at her!"

Natsume closed his eyes obediently, while Uchiha Ling continued to look at the woman indifferently. Originally, only her head was submerged in the water, but gradually... the woman's whole body slid off the wooden boat.

The freezing cold lake water had enveloped his entire body without him noticing. Uchiha Ling raised his head and discovered that he had actually sunk to the dark bottom of the lake.

And the woman was on a small boat on the lake...looking at him expressionlessly.

"Oh? An illusion? You're playing an illusion on me, right?"

The three-magatama Sharingan opened, "Magic? Mirror Heaven and Earth Rotation! Let me show you the power of my own illusion."

The illusion of a monster, after all, is to affect the mental power of a person, making the other party see the picture they have constructed. But Uchiha Ling's illusion is different. It uses chakra as the energy source, directly interfering with the other party's five senses and depriving them of their original consciousness.

The next moment, Uchiha Ling's consciousness returned to his body by the lake, and the wooden boat on the lake flipped over...and the woman on it disappeared completely.

Teacher Cat: "Huh?? What did you do?!"

Uchiha Ling: "Well, didn't she want to go down? Maybe she really sank to the bottom of the lake."

Chapter 76 I, Uchiha, am best at winning people over with virtue

Uchiha Ling: "So, what should we do next?"

The cat teacher jumped onto Natsume's shoulder and looked at Uchiha Ling with some dissatisfaction.

"It's because of you that the monster disappeared. Otherwise, we could still ask about it."

Natsume took the cat teacher off his shoulders and said, "Anyway, let's go to the mountain temple first. After all, Amaki and the others disappeared here."

Walking into the somewhat dilapidated mountain temple, I saw a light blue floor mat in the middle of the temple, on which were placed a lot of snacks and lunch boxes.

Natsume: "Aki-san, Kato-san, and Sawamura-san disappeared here. I looked around but couldn't even find their footsteps... It's like they just vanished into thin air."

Teacher Cat narrowed his eyes, "Well, since this is a temple dedicated to the mountain god, let's see who the god of this mountain is."

Uchiha Ling suddenly became interested, "Do gods exist in this world?"

Teacher Neko nodded. "Of course, but there are two kinds of gods. One kind lives too long and is so powerful that other monsters call them gods."

"The other, and most common, type is a god that relies on human belief to become a god. This type of god can be strong or weak. The more people believe in them, the stronger they are. But once the belief is lost, the god itself will cease to exist."

As Mr. Cat spoke, his eyes were already fixed on the three white porcelain masks on the floor of the ancestral hall.

"Eh? Why did it fall to the ground? Did they drop it?"

Natsume walked forward. Two of the three white porcelain masks were covered with dust, and the third one was broken.

Teacher Cat: "I see, it's Shimenzuka. With a mountain god like this who helps humans, your friend will probably be fine."

However, Mr. Cat took another look at the shattered mask and said, "Your two friends are probably fine."

Uchiha Ling walked forward and curiously picked up a mask. It looked a little worn out and must have been there for at least fifty years.

"What do these masks mean?"

The cat teacher explained.

[Shimianzuka: It is a god created by human beings praying to the heavens after they are in trouble in the mountains. Shimianzuka usually wanders in the mountains to help children who are lost in the mountains. His four masks are amulets.]

[If an ordinary person enters the mountain temple and a mask falls to the ground, it means that you are protected by four tombs today. ]

Teacher Cat: "That is to say, as long as the mask is not broken, the person being protected will be safe."

Natsume stood up with some worry, "Then how are we going to find Shimenzuka? They must be in danger now."

The two people and the cat walked out of the mountain temple, but Natsume also felt his feet sink and fell forward.

Uchiha Ling quickly supported Natsume who was about to fall, but to their horror, the entire mountain temple was flooded by the lake water.

Uchiha Ling: "Rising tide? You must be kidding. This is not the beach! It must be that woman again!"

"You stay in the temple, I'll go out and take a look!"

Uchiha Ling stepped directly on the water and arrived at the lake after a few leaps.

"Hey! No matter what kind of monster you are, quickly release those two girls! Otherwise..."

There was no sound on the calm lake, but Uchiha Ling could feel that the other party was nearby.

"under!"

Uchiha Ling lowered his head, and the banshee had already grasped his ankles firmly with both hands, and pulled Uchiha Ling down with a strong pull.

"Humans can't breathe in water, you lose!"

The banshee pulled Uchiha Ling's body tightly and swam underwater, but...why was this human's body so stiff?

The banshee turned her head and saw that Uchiha Ling, who she had just caught, had turned into wood.

Above the lake, Uchiha Ling clapped his hands.

"As expected, the monster can't tell the difference between the wooden clone and the real body. Then, next... Wood Release: Silent Killing Binding Technique!"

The wood under the water turned into long branches and tied up the monster.

"Wood Release: Grafting Technique! Next is...Wood Dragon Technique!"

This is the first time that Uchiha has used Wood Release in battle since exchanging it for the first generation. I have to say... it consumes a lot of chakra. It seems that I still need to exchange more.

A huge wooden dragon rushed into the water from the forest, then soared into the sky with the banshee in its mouth, and finally crashed to the ground by the lake.

At this time, the banshee had been drunk by Uchiha Ling and was dying. When the rising lake water gradually receded, Natsume and Teacher Cat also ran out of the mountain temple.

Teacher Cat: "You are really ruthless... He is just a water ghost with less than 50 years of experience."

Uchiha Ling let the wooden dragon disintegrate on its own. "I just want to pull her up as quickly as possible and defeat her. It would be easier if I wanted to kill her."

Arriving in front of the water ghost, Uchiha Ling stepped on the other's pierced abdomen. "Hurry up, let him go if you want to live."

Natsume pulled Uchiha Ling and said, "Brother Ling, even if it is a monster, I don't think she would kidnap Amai and the others for no reason. Let's ask her politely."

Uchiha Ling nodded, "I understand. I, the Uchiha, am best at winning people over with virtue."

The female water ghost looked at Uchiha Ling tremblingly. "I...I will not let go of those who disrespect the mountain god."

Uchiha Ling's face was still cold. He leaned down and gave the water ghost a big slap.

"Hurry up, we'll leave right after we finish talking. If you don't... then I'll continue stabbing you! If I don't stab a word of virtue out of you, I'm not an Uchiha!"

The female water ghost looked at the blood-red eyes. Although she didn't understand what "cutting" meant, the branches still stuck in her body were probably the best explanation. "

"He...they are all in the cave across the lake! Except for that man, they are all fine!"

Uchiha Ling put away the branches, and the female water ghost slowly sat up and led a few people to the cave.

Natsume: "So, why did you attack Aki-san?"

The female water ghost's face showed anger. She snorted coldly and didn't want to talk. Then, after being glared at by Uchiha Ling, she spoke from her heart.

"Five years ago, that kid came to the mountain temple to play alone. He got lost at the time, and it was the mountain god who secretly helped him. As a result..."

Five years ago, Tomoya Aki found a white porcelain mask dropped on the ground. Although he didn't know what it was, he thought it looked interesting, so he took it home.

As a result... As he grew up, Tomoya Aki never thought of bringing the mask back. Instead, he threw away the white porcelain mask from Shimenzuka during a move.

The mask is the source of Master Shimenzuka's faith. That kid destroyed the mask that Master Shimenzuka worked so hard to make, and he dared to come here! I will definitely make him pay the price.

Walking into the cave, Uchiha Ling finally saw Kato Megumi and Eriri sleeping on a big rock, and...Aki Tomoya hanging by water plants.

Uchiha Ling: "Everything is fine? Didn't you say you had already taken action against this guy?"

The water ghost was stunned, and she was also surprised to find that all the scars she had left on Tomoya Aki's body by beating him with water plants had disappeared.

Natsume shook his head, "It seems that you are the only one who is angry about this matter. Lord Yamagami has never blamed Amaki-san."

"Impossible! He lost the mask that took the Mountain God decades to refine."

Natsume: "Let's go to the temple. All three of them are under the protection of the mountain god, and the mask protecting Amaki-san has been broken. It's probably because of the damage you caused."

Uchiha Ling chuckled. "I thought I was helping the mountain god to avenge his death, but I ended up causing him to lose another mask~"

Chapter 77 Say [NO] to refuse!

Today, Eriri, who originally wanted to stay at home and draw comics, was suddenly called out by her childhood sweetheart, and then told that it was the first party of the game production team.

She saw Kato Megumi, who had a low presence in the class but was actually very beautiful, and she also saw Natsume, who was considered the school idol in Toyonosaki.

I thought it was just a simple picnic in the mountains, but I actually had a nightmare. I dreamed that I was dragged into the water by a water ghost and then trapped in an underground cave.

It’s cold and damp here, someone come and save me... If this is a dream, why haven’t I woken up yet!

When Eriri just regained some consciousness, she suddenly realized that she was in a man's arms, being carried like a princess.
