Secular world: My destiny has no taboos

Chapter 121: Eaves Beast

"They charged me fifty coins just to treat my foot. This is simply a shady shop!"

Lin Beixuan had a white bandage wrapped around his ankle and was walking normally on the road, cursing under his breath. His previous excellent impression of Laonongtang suddenly dropped.

Now he knows the price of the incense money.

The incense money obtained from touching the corpse of Yaqi Heiye was only more than 100 incense coins, and he was the snake fairy in charge of the Liuxian family in Anle County. The ring-handled broadsword of Shen Tingmiao was only worth 20 incense coins, but it was enough to kill all the monsters without destroying them.

Therefore, fifty incense coins are definitely worth a lot of money, enough to buy most of the fine instruments.

It is true that no matter which world you are in, hospitals and pharmacies are all scams. People who don’t have some money don’t even have the qualifications to get treatment.

"Sooner or later I'll make you spit out the money you've made me cheat."

Every time he entered this old farmer's hall, he would go in with some money for incense offerings and come out with empty pockets.

Taking out the map borrowed from his ninth aunt's house, Lin Beixuan drew three circles on it with a pen, representing the locations of Wumeng Mountain, Dahe Township and Tianxingding.

Wumeng Mountain and Tianxingding are not far apart, but the location of Dahe Township is a bit difficult to describe. It is located in Luozhou, near Gaotang Village, close to Qingzhou.

"Luozhou..." Lin Beixuan's face was gloomy, his sword-like eyebrows drooped, and his expression was solemn.

Luozhou was the birthplace of starving ghosts. The situation was so dangerous that even the government officials were unable to handle it. They could only watch it grow and begin to affect nearby provinces.

There, it is a hell on earth!
Qingzhou is adjacent to Luozhou. If the starving ghosts really want to move south, Qingzhou will probably be the first to suffer.

"I have to speed up!" Lin Beixuan felt a sense of urgency in his heart.

His idea was actually very simple. He wanted to forge weapons from Lianhuo Zangzhen Sanren before the starving ghosts arrived, and then go to other states to avoid disaster, and by the way, get to know other worldly people who had entered the secular world.

Following the route to Wumeng Mountain, Lin Beixuan did not delay or hesitate at all. He planned to buy a strong black horse from the horse shop to speed up his journey.

It was already quite late and there were few people at the horse market. Only a few horse dealers were sitting next to the stables, drinking together, staring straight ahead, hoping for customers to come.

Lin Beixuan had long discovered that under the peaceful and prosperous appearance of Anle County, the common people actually lived a very hard life. Liu Xian occupied that place, and they had to offer blood and food to him every month. They were oppressed to the point of being in a desperate situation. It was not until Shen Tingmiao's father took office and introduced Huang Xian to fight against him that people's livelihood recovered a little.

When they saw Lin Beixuan appear at the entrance of the horse market, some of the more discerning people immediately came up to him with flattering smiles on their faces.

"Sir, are you here to buy a horse? Let me tell you, my horse is the strongest and can travel a thousand miles a day."

"Listen to me, sir. He is just talking nonsense. My horse is the best. I will feed it well even if I don't want to eat it myself."

……

Several horse dealers surrounded Lin Beixuan and tried to pull him towards their own stables. However, when they pulled hard, they found that no matter how hard they tried, they could not move him at all.

"Get out of my way." Lin Beixuan glanced coldly at the people surrounding him. He could faintly smell the sour odor from these people.

His eyes were like those of a ferocious beast that devoured people. Just by raising his eyes and glaring at him, the horse dealers beside him were terrified. They withdrew their hands in fear, lowered their heads and dared not speak again.

The horse dealers have realized that Lin Beixuan is not the person they usually come into contact with. One of the older-looking men mustered up the courage to speak.

"Just tell us which horse you like, and we won't bother you any more." Seeing the horse dealers disperse, Lin Beixuan's cold expression finally eased a little. He walked to the stable alone and looked at the horses of various shapes inside.

However, after looking around, he found that most of the horses in the horse market were old horses or sick horses that looked weak, and basically none of them met his requirements.

Those horse dealers also boasted about how strong their horses were, claiming that they could travel a thousand miles a day. This was simply outrageous.

If he hadn't worked as a temporary worker at a horse farm for a period of time in his present life, he would have really been cheated.

The elderly man saw Lin Beixuan walking around with a frown on his brow, as if he hadn't found anything satisfactory. After discussing with several other horse dealers for a while, he took the initiative to step forward and asked respectfully.

"Are you not very satisfied with these horses?"

Lin Beixuan shook his head: "It's either an old horse or a sick horse, how can you satisfy me?"

“Uh…” The older horse dealer didn’t expect Lin Beixuan to be such an expert in this business. He scratched his head awkwardly and explained, “These days, horses are hard to sell and even harder to raise. When there’s no business on weekdays, they’re loaned out to some farmers to cultivate the land, so they may not look that energetic.”

"No need to say more. I have something urgent to do. Do you have any young and strong horses here?"

The older horse dealer was startled when he heard this, then thought about it and said with some embarrassment: "Yes, there is, but the temperament of this horse is a bit strange, and ordinary people can't ride it. If you want to see it, I will ask Zhang Laosan to pull it out for you now."

"Ah."

Lin Beixuan nodded and waited for a while before seeing a lame old man leading a black horse out.

This black horse does not look strong, but rather a little thin. It is completely incomparable to the well-fed tall horses in the world today. However, its eyes are dark and bright, faintly flashing with the light of wisdom.

What surprised Lin Beixuan even more was the black horse's mane that cascaded down its neck like a waterfall. Every strand of hair seemed wild and unruly, taking the Shamatte style to the extreme, full of rebelliousness and publicity.

"I am an expert, I should be able to tell that this horse is young."

Zhang Laosan, following the eye contact of the older horse dealer beside him, said, "If you want it, it only takes two...two taels of silver."

Lin Beixuan tilted his head slightly, and the man and the horse looked into each other's eyes. He saw hatred in the eyes of the black horse.

Lin Beixuan walked forward slowly and put his hand on the black horse's neck. The next moment, the black horse immediately raised its front body and tried to kick Lin Beixuan with its legs, but just halfway through, it was pressed down by Lin Beixuan with one hand.

[You encounter a special target: Eaves Beast-(Unnamed).]

[The spirit monster encyclopedia is opened, and the eaves beast information is successfully unlocked. 】

[You come into contact with and fight against the eaves beast, and successfully obtain the fate from it - Winged Horse. ]

[Winged Horse (Green): Sometimes there is a strange species on the beam, shaped like a horse, with wings, and fleshy flames on its ribs. It lives between the murals in tombs, with strength +2 and toughness +2. ]

Lin Beixuan withdrew his hand and looked at the black horse in surprise.

Unexpectedly, the Shamatte dark horse in front of him was not an ordinary horse, but a monster that had become a spirit.
