Secular world: My destiny has no taboos

Chapter 123 122: Going up the mountain

Lin Beixuan was concentrating on the panel in his mind, but did not notice the changes behind him at all.

But this change did not come from external danger, but from himself.

It was an extremely huge shadow stretched by the moonlight.

The shadow twisted and spread, like a tentacle reaching out from a nightmare, silently devouring the broken moonlight. Following a creepy scene like tearing a towel or silk, the shadow suddenly split into three.

The three shadows seemed as if three people were standing back to back, each looking in a different direction. Wherever their sight passed, the ghostly shadows hidden in the bushes in the forest could not help but retract their claws and fangs, not daring to reveal even a little bit. The strange feeling of oppression flooded the surroundings like a tide.

Sometimes they separated and sometimes they came together, just like a person with three heads making various expressions. The giant shadow split and merged, and the shadows splashed in all directions, breaking into countless pieces, and sticking like mucus.

Weird, uneasy, chaotic...it's hard to describe what the feeling is, but all the evil spirits passing by feel a sense of foreboding in their hearts and subconsciously choose to retreat.

"Why don't you leave?"

The beast suddenly heard a sound coming from its back, and its stiff body shivered as if it was scalded by boiling water. It immediately obeyed the order and continued to move forward. The sound of horse hooves echoed again in the silent forest.

[Your fate - Three-headed Qiwei is affected by the fate - The Killing Star is coming, and an unknown change has occurred. All attributes +10, and you gain the ability - Reverse Scale. ]

[Reverse Scale (Blue): The scale has a reverse effect. If you touch it, you will die. It will eat your emotions. When your mind is invaded, you will automatically eat a telekinesis from the target and strengthen your corresponding attribute.]

[Note: Affected by unknown changes, your spirit is -20, and the fixed Kaifu Bai Ze Shui Jun shrine master's enjoyment path has changed to evil water. ]

【New entry-Spirit.】

Looking at the prompt information on the panel, Lin Beixuan's slightly frowned brows relaxed. He had previously thought that the unknown changes might have a bad impact on him, but now it seems that they are all positive.

Not only does it increase all attributes by +10, but it also gains a blue quality ability, which seems to be more of a positive benefit no matter how you look at it.

As for the final -20 in spirit, it is insignificant compared to the +10 in all attributes. At worst, I can add it back later.

It was the so-called path of the master of the shrine of Baizeshuijun that turned into evil water that made Lin Beixuan a little confused. Perhaps he would only know it when he opened a palace with this fate in the future.

Overall, the benefits far outweigh the disadvantages.

Now that his strength has exceeded 60, six columns of energy have been condensed in his body. Each column of energy is spiraled in the acupoints. When activated, it will flow through the meridians throughout the body, greatly enhancing his strength.

Lin Beixuan couldn't help but think of what Shen Tingmiao once said about him, that he was taking the path of fortune-telling, which was the most complicated and strange of all the paths. What each person cultivated was different, just as if proving that people's destinies were different, and which path they would take in the end seemed to be predetermined by heaven.

"Ask for fate?" Lin Beixuan's eyes were gloomy and unclear: "I don't have much else, but this fate. I decide which path to take. It's not up to God to decide."

The moonlight was quiet, and the shadow behind Lin Beixuan seemed to be affected by his temperament, rippling like the water on a lake. Three pairs of eyes looking in different directions gathered together, as if they were lost in thought.

The beast under his crotch sped up its speed and began to gallop through the mountains and forests.

Other horses would inevitably slow down at night due to the poor visibility and steep mountain roads, but the Yan Beast would not. Even if there was a cliff ahead, it would not be afraid and would rush straight ahead.

There was black flame like cloud between his ribs, pouring out and gathering at his feet. He stepped on the moonlight and flew to another mountain top. During the whole process, Lin Beixuan's body did not move at all and he remained firmly on the horse.

In fact, Lin Beixuan didn't know how to ride a horse at all, but his fate was blessed with equestrian skills, so as long as he sat on the horse, he didn't have to worry about the risk of falling even if he didn't know how to drive the horse.

Looking at the figure of the eaves beast Ta Yan flying in the air, Lin Beixuan couldn't help but glow and laughed. "From today on, you will be called Ta Yan"

When the Yan Beast heard the name Lin Beixuan gave it, it couldn't help but let out a roar that echoed through the mountains. It sped up again, and it was unclear whether it was happy or sad.

……

Just as Lin Beixuan was rushing to Wumeng Mountain, on the other side of the mountain, two figures were slowly climbing the mountain riding on strange equipment.

"Brother Cui, do you think we can really pacify the bandits on this mountain? I feel like if I dare to say these two words, they will probably chop me to pieces."

The speaker was dressed like a man of the underworld, wearing a conical hat, soft-soled boots, a gourd of medicinal wine hanging around his waist, and a casual demeanor.

"What's there to be afraid of? You won't really die. At most you'll have a scar the size of a bowl on your neck, and you'll be a brave man again in a dozen minutes!"

"..."

Li Xizhao looked at Cui Dongcan, who was dressed like a scholar but spoke in a more gangster-like manner than himself, and could not help rolling his eyes and said unhappily.

"You are a scholar, how can you speak so vulgarly!"

"You are a knight, why do you speak like a sissy?"

The two looked at each other, and both saw dissatisfaction in each other's eyes.

"Okay, okay, I won't argue with you. After we finish this job, we'll divide the stuff separately." Li Xizhao looked a little ugly.

"Haha, if I didn't need money to go to Beijing to take the imperial examination, do you think I would be willing to join forces with you?" Cui Dongcan opened his folding fan and fanned himself to cool down.

A scholar does not look like a scholar, a knight does not look like a knight. This incongruous scene appears in this chaotic world. It seems to be reasonable.

Who told them to be worldly children?

Cui Dongcan tied his scholar's robe around his waist, cursing from time to time: "What the hell is this rogue Taoist doing? We said we would walk on flat ground in the mountains, but since we started going up the mountain, my dick has been shaking the whole time."

"Be content. It's good enough to have a way to get around. They didn't charge much."

Li Xizhao patted the wooden ox he sat on and sighed, "It's said that those who learn the skills of a hundred craftsmen can make money. A wooden ox sells for a thousand taels of silver, and it also has to be accompanied by thirty incense coins. If I had known earlier, I should have found a master to learn craftsmanship, and I wouldn't have to break an incense coin into two halves like now."

Cui Dongcang nodded in agreement, and it was rare for him to agree with what Li Xizhao said.

The wooden ox that the two men sat on looked like a giant buffalo, with eyes that glowed like crystals at night. Its body was made entirely of iron and wood, with a hollow back, and had been transformed into a double sedan chair for easy riding.

The lower abdomen is where tiny mechanical parts are located, with gears rotating inside. The power core at the innermost part is wrapped with layers of precision iron sheets, which is the key to driving the wooden ox.

With a common target to complain about, the atmosphere between Cui Dongcang and Li Xizhao became much better and they began to discuss the purpose of this trip.

Recruitment!
