Secular world: My destiny has no taboos

Chapter 130: 129: Disaster, ill-fated life

"Swish..."

The breeze gently blew the leaves, bringing peace and tranquility, as if all the strange atmosphere of the world had been blown away at this moment.

With the sun shining on his face and smelling the fresh mountain air, Lin Beixuan couldn't help but feel fascinated.

Ever since he entered the secular world, he always seemed to be on the edge of tension, always inexplicably involved in various incidents.

The Ruan family's cemetery, the tombs of the dead, and even the first day he arrived in Anle County attracted the attention of Master Liu Xian. It was as if a pair of big hands were always pushing him forward, which was unpleasant.

However, now there are strange people in the mountains helping him to find out the information about the Starry Sky Meteorite Iron, so he only needs to wait where he is and enjoy this moment of peace and quiet.

only……

The sudden appearance of two people woke him up from his leisure.

Lin Beixuan followed the invisible prying gaze and coincidentally met the sight of the other two people.

"Bandits?"

It’s not his fault that he thought so, but that was the feeling that the aura exuded by Li Xizhao and Cui Dongcan gave him.

Unlike the chicken-foot girl Tao Tao, these two people looked at him with a hint of hostility and subconsciously regarded him as an enemy.

Lin Beixuan's peaceful expression gradually turned cold at this moment. He looked at the two people, slowly stepped down from the bluestone, and began to move his hands and feet.

Those who are familiar with him know that this is a warm-up before the battle.

And on the opposite side.

Cui Dongcang narrowed his eyes and looked Lin Beixuan up and down, muttering in his heart: "Bandit? Or..."

For some reason, he felt a sense of uneasiness in his heart from the moment he saw the other person.

Unlike the huge sense of oppression brought by the aura of the commander-in-chief of Wumeng Mountain, the air around him seemed to become weird after the man opposite had an indifferent look on his face.

It was a bright and sunny day, but it gave people a feeling of being trapped in a cold darkness, as if walking in the secular night and being watched by evil spirits hidden in the shadows and darkness.

Cui Dongcang exchanged a glance with Li Xizhao beside him and found that the other party had the same feeling as him, and his eyes were also full of vigilance.

"Should we just take action?" Li Xizhao put his hand close to the sword box and asked Cui Dongcang for his opinion unobtrusively.

In the secular world, unless one’s strength reaches a certain level, it is impossible to see through the other person’s strength at a glance.

They had just died and been resurrected, and Lin Beixuan happened to look at them unceremoniously because of their initial hostility, which made both of them feel uneasy.

"The situation is unclear, so it's better not to take action directly. Let's go over there first and wait and see what happens." Cui Dongcang said in a deep voice.

To outsiders, Cui Dongcan's behavior is quite inconsistent with his identity as a Confucian scholar. He has a reckless personality, curses his parents all the time, and does not play by the rules. But in fact, he is the decision maker in the two-man team.

Beneath his contradictory nature, there are hidden calculations that are not discovered by outsiders.

So the two of them suppressed their hostility and walked towards Lin Beixuan with a smile.

The Shamatte dark horse stared at Cui Dongcang and Li Xizhao who were walking slowly towards him. With his four hooves stamping, a faint flame of flesh flickered between his ribs.

Lin Beixuan tilted his head slightly, his figure was tall and slender, and the tip of a sharp knife was revealed under his black clothes.

The atmosphere between the three of them was subtle. When Cui Dongcang approached, he smiled and clasped his fists, "Brother, do you know how to get down the mountain?"

"I am a mountain person, so I naturally know how to go down the mountain." Lin Beixuan's mouth corners suddenly curled up and he grinned.

He pointed in a direction behind him.

"Just follow this path down, but you'll come to a cliff with no path in the middle, so just jump over it."

Let people jump over the cliff...

If Li Xizhao and Cui Dongcang did not have their own abilities, they would probably have thought that Lin Beixuan was joking.

"I see, thanks for the answer!"

After a brief silence, Cui Dongcan thanked him with a smile and a humble attitude, which was completely different from when he was tied up and thrown onto the stage in Qingyun Village.

Li Xizhao also nodded gently, as a greeting to Lin Beixuan.

The two men just passed by Lin Beixuan, and both sides tacitly did not take action first.

In the secular world, people have been killed countless times if they have acted out of inexplicable hostility without knowing the exact facts.

Never underestimate your opponent.

This is the lesson Cui Dongcan learned from experiencing dozens of deaths as an old secular prince.

The figures of the two sides were getting farther and farther apart, until they walked dozens of meters apart, Cui Dongcan looked surprised.

“Is he really just a mountain climber?”

"maybe!"

Li Xizhao then breathed a sigh of relief. When he passed by the opponent just now, he almost couldn't control himself from taking action, because in his eyes, the opponent had too many flaws. At such a close distance, he had an 80% chance of being able to kill with one blow.

But is it really that simple?
Flaws can be disguised. When he was learning skills, he saw that his master was full of flaws. But when he attacked his master, he was instantly counterattacked by the opponent and the knife was put to his neck.

The feeling the young man had just now was exactly the same as the feeling he had when he met his master.

"call……"

Lin Beixuan turned around and looked at the backs of the two people leaving, feeling inexplicably strange.

"Those two people, were they really just asking for directions?"

Just as he was wondering, Ta Yan suddenly became agitated and issued an extremely disturbing warning.

Lin Beixuan also realized something was wrong at this moment and quickly turned his head to look in one direction.

This time he was not looking in the direction where Cui Dongcan and the other man left, but on the other side.

On a hillside, there was a rumbling sound of smoke and dust, and dozens of figures riding on tall wild beasts rushed out from it.

"That's the location that Grandma Yan calculated. Don't let them get away."

The leader, a burly man riding a fierce and colorful tiger, holding a big knife and covered with various black tattoos, led a group of bandits behind him and jumped down the hillside.

"I've seen them, right in front!" The second person who spoke was a headless man. The two dots on his chest turned into eyes, and a huge mouth grew at his belly button, revealing white teeth.

"We have been forced to the top of the mountain, and the people down there are still plotting against us. We must not let them go."

"No matter how much we pay, we must not let them tell the people down the mountain about the current situation of Qingyun Village."

……

Dozens of bandits had bloodshot eyes, riding all kinds of ferocious beasts, including tigers, blue wolves, and black bears... They stared at Lin Beixuan and Cui Dongcang behind him. In their hearts, they had already automatically classified Lin Beixuan as one of Cui Dongcang's group.

"Wait, what's going on!"

Lin Beixuan's eyes were a little dazed as he looked at the bandit army with smoke and dust all over the sky rushing towards him.

They looked so vicious, as if they had just uncovered their lair.

But he obviously didn't do anything.

Wu Huo rode a tiger and took the lead: "Grandma Yan said that we cannot let them escape from Wumeng Mountain again, and we cannot even allow them to die."

The bandits shouted loudly and first targeted Lin Beixuan, who was the last one left.

"Catch this guy first."

They had never seen Lin Beixuan, but that did not prevent them from regarding him as one of Cui Dongcan's gang.

One of them had a green face, white hair, and looked like a zombie. He had fangs protruding from his mouth and was a skinny man. He threw a black chain at Lin Beixuan from dozens of meters away.

Lin Beixuan frowned, and his body moved as fast as lightning, turning over and sitting on Stepping Flame.

A good man does not suffer immediate losses.

"run!"

By now he had a rough idea of what had happened. It was most likely caused by the two people who had passed by him before.

Somehow those two men offended the bandits on Wumeng Mountain and were chased by them. He happened to be caught between the two sides and was subconsciously mistaken by the bandits as one of them.

I haven’t told fortunes for a while, and I’ve become so unlucky?
Ta Yan also knew that things were not going well, and was running quickly in the mountains. Lin Beixuan was not idle either, and took the opportunity to glance at the signature on the panel and immediately made a divination.

[Lottery: Spend the year coins to draw a lot. The lot you draw will have a chance to predict what will happen to you in the future. 】

[Note: Since you have a second fate, you will be affected by it and your destiny will increase. You will be able to have a fortune telling once every 200 years. Do you want to draw lots?]

Lin Beixuan didn't expect that even though he hadn't drawn lots for such a long time, the price of the panel had actually increased unscrupulously, but now that things had come to this, he could only accept it with a grim face.

The illusory stick tube shook and a red stick fell out of it.

[Winning the lottery: a difficult fate]

[Explanation: The road to the future is clearly under your feet, but you are forced into the vortex of power struggles, and there are even unknown secular gods who secretly extend their eyes and black hands to this place, making unknown plans. ]

[You wonder why you are so unlucky, but perhaps this is the fate that people with dual fates must bear, and you are destined to involuntarily attract mysteries and disasters. If you try to go against the will of heaven and put on too many fates that do not belong to you, perhaps these disasters will not just approach you. ]

[However, you are also lucky. The more destinies you bear, the more roads you can choose. All roads lead to the sky. Who says that there are only dead ends ahead? ]

"..."

What a misfortune it has. It's the same whether I calculate it or not.

Fortunately, it still provided him with a lot of useful information.

He was caught up in a power struggle, which should be the struggle between the Wumeng Mountain bandits and the imperial government. As for the unknown eyes and black hands of the secular gods...

A question suddenly popped up in his mind.

What on earth is a secular god?

Since he entered the secular world, he had heard this title intermittently from various sources.

The most recent ones include the Five Rats of Floating Life who have defected to his sect as his subordinates. Their original superior was Kong Yunsou, one of the Twelve Secular Gods, and the Ghost Hall, the burial vessel he relies on the most, which contains the aura of disaster from secular gods.

He once asked the blessing mice about the matter of Kong Yunsou in the secular world, but they avoided the topic and were unwilling to mention the name again.

It seems that anything related to secular gods is particularly strange and mysterious.

Lin Beixuan looked back at the bandits from Wumeng Mountain who were gradually catching up with him, and a layer of gloom loomed in his heart.

After all, Ta Yan could not outrun the wild beasts running in the mountains, and the distance between them kept closing in. The bloody smell emitted by the huge beasts behind him had already filled his nostrils.

At this time, only a part of the bandits were following him, and the rest should be chasing the other two people.

"My life has been full of twists and turns... Today I'm going to give it a try!"

Lin Beixuan stopped his horse and counted the number of bandits on the opposite side, about fifteen.

Through subtle observation, he found that these fifteen bandits were all strange people. There was a skinny man with a peach-like face and a body that looked like a human, with a high ponytail; there was a mermaid with cheeks and a faint glow of scales on his face; there was a headless strong man with a strong body, no head, and only two dots on his chest as eyes...

"It's really eye-opening!" Even in such a situation, Lin Beixuan still couldn't help but sigh.

"Why don't you run away?"

The headless man opened his belly button and spoke. The two huge maces in his hands just moved slightly, and a metallic clanging sound came out.

What he was riding was not an ordinary wild beast, but a yellow ox that had become a spirit. The ox had sharp teeth in its mouth, vertical pupils in its eyes like those of a tiger or leopard, and its paws were not hooves, but had thick pads of flesh.

Strange people and strange beasts.

This headless man was obviously the temporary leader of the dozen or so bandits in Wumeng Mountain.

Lin Beixuan frowned. He knew that no matter how he explained himself, it would be useless. It was impossible to talk nicely. Either he had to beat the other party into submission, or he would meet his fate and die here first.

Looking at the dozen or so bandits in front of him, Lin Beixuan spurred his horse. Under his control, Ta Yan's eyes became firmer than ever before. He raised his front hooves high and breathed heavily.

In the dim light, the bandits in Wumeng Mountain seemed to see the generals fighting on the battlefield, with their unstoppable momentum of moving forward with no way to retreat, and their brutality wrapped in killing, spreading out like waves.

Killer Star's Coming Skills: Killer Star

Strength +5, Horsemanship +3, Favorability towards evildoers +200.

Lin Beixuan's eyes were firm and cold. This was the first time he used the additional skill of the Killer Star Fate while riding on a mount. The effect was much stronger than when he usually stood on the ground. It seemed that this was how this skill should be used.

At the same time, he had an illusion in his heart that he should be accompanied by dozens of personal guards.

"kill!"

Lin Beixuan retracted his sharp knife, shouted softly, and Stepping Flame rushed out like a cannonball. Thick flames emerged from its ribs and spread to the surroundings in an instant.

The flame seemed to have spirituality and did not cause burns to Lin Beixuan's body. Instead, it enhanced the power of the man and the horse. The setting sun cast its reflection on the ground. A huge three-headed black shadow emerged, and six pairs of scarlet eyes opened, rolling around, staring at the bandits in Wumeng Mountain at the same time.

Fate - Three Heads Qiwei: Strength +3, Health Recovery +8, Intimidation +5, Additional Skill - Three Heads.

Three Heads: -5 for charging, +3 for critical hits, +5 for intimidation to energy creatures in range when casting Three Heads.

Combined with the previous 10-point increase in all attributes, Lin Beixuan's intimidation attribute has now exceeded 20, and two scarlet air columns have merged into his acupoints.

The invisible might drew in all the bandits from Wumeng Mountain present, and the pervasive murderous and ominous aura frightened their minds.

The fortune-teller predicts a fate full of misfortunes, and solving the mystery in the text means approaching disaster, but it is ultimately based on the trajectory of the fate. Things are in the hands of people. When fate is decided and controlled by people themselves, who is the disaster?
