Secular world: My destiny has no taboos

Chapter 112: Troubled Times

It was a dark and windy night. When Lin Beixuan and his companions arrived at the Huangxian Temple, they saw many people standing outside the temple.
Huangxian Temple is where the Huangxian lineage of Anle County resides. It was a dark and windy night. When Lin Beixuan and his companions arrived, they saw many "figures" standing outside the temple.

These people were holding weapons, their bodies were stained with blood, and they looked around warily. In the darkness at their feet, there were the shadows of yellow-skinned people.

"Ninth Aunt!"

……

When Grandma Jiu appeared in front of these people, shrill voices came out of their mouths, and it was obvious that they were all ready to take action and possess someone at any time.

"Is everything alright in the clan?" The Ninth Aunt stepped forward and asked.

"Everything is fine. Liu Xian wanted to attack us from behind when we were not prepared. Fortunately, we were prepared and fought back their attack. However, many of our disciples were killed or injured."

Ninth Aunt sighed: "Grandfather?"

"Inside, not injured."

As Ninth Aunt and Shen Tingmiao entered the Huangxian Temple, when Lin Beixuan passed by behind them, someone suddenly exclaimed: "Master, it's you!"

"you are?"

Lin Beixuan looked curiously and saw a thin man guarding the door bowing respectfully to him.

"I'm Huang Ba. We met before in Huangshi Village. At that time, I told Aunt Jiu to tell you to run away as soon as possible."

Lin Beixuan thought carefully and finally remembered who the person in front of him was.

On the night when the Ruan family encountered the accident, it was this person who came to tell him the news and told him that Huangshi Village was not safe and asked him to leave as soon as possible. At that time, the other party looked like a yellow man and even had some bookish airs. Unexpectedly, when they met again, the other party had become a spirit medium.

"I remember you, and thank you for reminding me at that time."

"Of course, I'll take you in!" Huang Ba respectfully led the way for Lin Beixuan.

The interior of Huangxianmian is elegantly decorated, with yellow silk with special symbols painted on it hanging from the beams everywhere.

Walking through a path filled with incense, Lin Beixuan could see many yellow-skinned shrines similar to the one Shen Tingmiao was holding. These shrines were placed in various corners of the temple, and in front of each of them there were incense offerings and three small animals offered as sacrifices.

This reminded Lin Beixuan of the shrines that often appeared around him when he was resurrected, except that the shrines were more ancient and mysterious, with a bit of a weird flavor, and there were no incense offerings in front of them.

Finally, the two stopped in front of a hall with dim candlelight. Huang Ba bowed slightly, with a bit of scholarly air.

"Master, I won't go in. Someone needs to be guarding outside the temple."

Lin Beixuan nodded and walked into the hall in the dim light of the fire. Shadows were everywhere in his sight and whispers could be heard from time to time.

"Although we lost a lot of our young men tonight, it's all worth it if we can defeat the Liuxian lineage in Anle County and you can come back safely."

"How many manpower are needed to wipe out the remaining forces of Liu Xian? You decide on your own, and I, the Ancestor, will not ask."

"From today on, our lineage of Huangxian will be under your full management."

The old voice was like an ancient wind chime, deeply hoarse and vicissitudes of life, and every word seemed to be squeezed out of the dry throat with all the strength of the body.

Lin Beixuan quietly walked out from behind the yellow silk and looked up at the figure sitting on the carved wooden chair. The voice came from there.

This is not a human, but a humanoid animal similar to Yaki Kuroye, with a face similar to that of a weasel, fur like steel needles, two long white whiskers under the nose hanging down along the loose flowery robe, and a pipe is pinched in his fingers, and smoke seeps out of his mouth when he speaks.

Is this the ancestor of the Huangxian lineage in Anle County?
Ninth Aunt had sensed Lin Beixuan coming in a long time ago, and introduced him to the old ancestor with a smile: "Grandma, he is the person I often mentioned to you. If it weren't for his help this time, I'm afraid my grandson would not be able to come back to see you."

"He is indeed a handsome man!"

Patriarch Huangxian took a puff of his pipe and looked at Lin Beixuan with narrowed eyes, his eyeballs trembling, as if he was thinking about something.

It is very old, having lived for a full 150 years, which is rare even in the entire Huangxian family in the secular world. But age does not mean high cultivation. This Huangxian ancestor is still only at the level of refining spirits, and has no hope of forming a pill.

Therefore, it placed all its hopes on Grandma Jiu, hoping that with Grandma Jiu's talent, she could lead the Huangxian lineage of Anle County back to the clan.

It believed that Grandma Jiu could do it, so when it learned that Grandma Jiu cared about a human being in particular, it sent people to investigate secretly. The final result was that this person was very mysterious. It was only known that he was a servant of the Ruan family in Huangshi Village. Fortunately, he was not dead and was able to knock on the door of practice.

But after all, he only knew this from the paper handed over by his subordinates. When he saw the real person now, the Huangxian ancestor of Anle County appeared calm on the surface, but his heart was in turmoil.

There is something wrong with this person!
It has lived for so many years and has seen a lot. It has learned some face-reading skills, but it has never seen a face like the one in front of it.

At first glance, there is nothing obvious, but upon closer inspection, there is a murderous aura lingering between the brows. The gloomy and fierce aura has almost turned into substance, and it will break through the sky gate and come to the world at a certain opportunity. It is a standard seven kills entering the life and the four pillars of evil.

But beneath this fate that makes the viewer unable to help but feel terrified, there is also a subtle meaning of death at an early age. The combination of the two is both contradictory and yet inexplicably reasonable.

"Tsk... You should have died a long time ago, why are you standing here?"

"wrong!"

The old Huangxian couldn't help but stand up, move closer to Lin Beixuan, and look at Lin Beixuan with his cloudy eyes.

Lin Beixuan frowned slightly, but did not dodge and let the other party look at him.

However, in the next second, Patriarch Huangxian suddenly fell to the ground. Grandma Jiu hurried over to help him up, but was pushed away by him.

The old body hunched over and stood up, with its long beard dragging on the ground. Patriarch Huangxian slowly backed away, not daring to get close to Lin Beixuan anymore. He sat on the chair and spoke.

"Thank you for saving my little Jiu's life. Just ask for what you want. We will not be stingy with anything we can give you."

Lin Beixuan's eyes lit up. He didn't expect there would be such a good thing. He directly took out Xiao Zizai's list of demands from his arms and handed it over.

Huang Xian Patriarch took it and took a look at it, frowning slightly: "The things you need are difficult to collect even in the treasure house accumulated by Huang Xian, especially this Starry Sky Meteorite Iron. As far as I know, it seems that only Wumeng Mountain has it."

"Wumeng Mountain is now occupied by the Thirty-Six Rebels. We can't do anything to them. You may need to get this Starry Sky Meteorite yourself."

"Wumeng Mountain..." Lin Beixuan nodded, then lowered his head and fell into deep thought.

"As for the other things you're missing, wait until you've cleared out the Willow Immortals tonight. You might be able to find some by plundering their treasure troves. If you still can't find them, you'll have to look for them on your own."

"Understood. No matter what, I have to thank the ancestors."

"It's just a mutual benefit. Let Miaomiao take you to get the things in the Huangxian Treasure House first."

Lin Beixuan said goodbye to Patriarch Huangxian with a smile and left with Shen Tingmiao.

After the two of them had completely walked away, Ninth Aunt looked at the ancestor with a strange expression on her face.

"Grandma, I remember you had a piece of Starry Sky Meteorite in your hand. Why did you ask Lin Langguan to go to the dangerous Wumeng Mountain to get it?"

Patriarch Huangxian glanced at Grandma Jiu, sighed deeply, and spoke meaningfully.

"I saw in his fate that he would be punished by heaven and would cause disasters and chaos. It is impossible for him to surrender to the imperial court and perform his duties in this life."

"When he grows up, he will definitely rebel against the world. The people in Wumeng Mountain are poor. Although they rob and plunder, they only kill the wealthy people from noble families who are causing harm to the local area."

"You have a good eye. You recognized his extraordinaryness early on. Now that you have determined it, why don't you prepare in advance?"

"The new emperor is incompetent and unjust. Now all the states are waiting for an opportunity. The starving ghosts of Luozhou, the Zigu God of Changzhou, the evil spirit of Jiangzhou... In this chaotic world, will it be decided by humans or evil spirits? In the end, one of them must stand up!"

"We little Huangxians are wandering in troubled times, so we should make a decision early."
