Secular world: My destiny has no taboos

Chapter 132 131: Beizhen Mansion, Lu Chengjiang
"boom……"

The arrow pierced through Lin Beixuan's shoulder, dragged his injured body, and nailed it to the tree, while penetrating the trunk.

The leaves were shaken off by the huge impact and fluttered in the air.

The tearing pain in his shoulder made Lin Beixuan's eyes bloodshot. He raised his head and looked in the direction where the arrow came from. He saw another group of Wumeng Mountain soldiers standing in the sparse woods not far away. The leader was holding a strong bow and still in the posture of nocking an arrow.

"Those two bastards!"

Lin Beixuan recognized at a glance that this was the other group of people who had gone to chase Cui Dongcan and Li Xizhao.

Not only did those two strange people bring harm to him, but they couldn't even delay the Wumeng Mountain bandits for a period of time. He was simply unable to complain.

Since you are so useless, why do you want to provoke those people in Wumeng Mountain?

At this moment, the arrow pierced through him and the tree behind him, and he had no strength to resist anymore.

Are you going to die here?
Lin Beixuan's vision began to blur. The muscles on his chest where the arrow pierced him kept healing and being torn again, and blood soon stained his clothes.

At this moment, Ge Lie and others came back to their senses from their confusion. When they saw Lin Beixuan nailed to the tree, they immediately stepped forward and tied Lin Beixuan up with cold chains.

The group of people in the forest also came over at this time. The archer in the lead helped up Shan Laoqi, who was lying on the ground and had lost his life, and then slowly walked to Lin Beixuan.

"Is this guy also part of that government group? Why does he not look like one?"

"It's those two guys, otherwise they wouldn't resist." Ge Lie put away his double maces and cursed, "This guy is quite capable. If it weren't for you, brother Li Mu, coming over, we would have almost killed Shan Laoqi with our combined efforts."

"This guy also opened a mansion?" Li Mu raised his eyebrows.

"I'm not sure, but his strength and reaction were so amazing that even I almost couldn't withstand it." Gray shook his head to indicate that he didn't know.

"Take him back and give him to Grandma Yan!" Li Mu waved his hand, and several people immediately came forward from behind him.

Lin Beixuan raised his eyes weakly, still thinking about struggling and resisting, but he was hit on the back of his head and knocked unconscious.

"Damn it, he's already in our hands and he still wants to resist." Gray withdrew his big hand and muttered in dissatisfaction.

It has only been a few hours since Cui Dongcang and Li Xizhao escaped from Qingyun Village, and now both of them have been trapped and captured by secret magic, and one of the other party's accomplices was also captured.

Ge Lie sat on the yellow ox with a face full of joy: "Let's go back to the village!"

A group of people returned to the mountain in a mighty procession.

The green wolves at the back were each dragging several people who were unconscious and tied up with chains. Even Ta Yan was not spared and was dragged to follow at the back.

A few hours later, they arrived at the bluestone where Lin Beixuan had been before.

"Hey, where are the people?" Tao Tao, the girl with chicken feet, stood on the bluestone and looked around in confusion.

……

Zangfeng Ridge, Qingyun Village.

In a dark dungeon, three people were tied to stone pillars. Only a basketball-sized hole above their heads let in light, casting a little cold moonlight.

"Alas, I shouldn't have accepted this mission in the first place. Now even I'm ruined by it!" Li Xizhao sighed to the sky with a sad look in his eyes.

"What's the point of saying these things now? The most important thing is to escape."

"How can we escape? We can't even die now."

As soon as Li Xizhao moved, the chains on his body made a clanging sound and became tighter and tighter.

Not only that, there seemed to be some kind of restriction in this dungeon. They couldn't commit suicide even if they wanted to. As soon as they moved, they would feel a sharp pain like a needle pricking their brains. Their minds became hazy and they were unable to make correct commands.

After hearing this, Cui Dongcang fell silent. Their current situation was extremely dangerous. They were being controlled by someone and were unable to resist at all.

only……

Cui Dongcan looked at a brother on his right who was also tied to a stone pillar.

"Old Li, isn't this guy from the Wumeng Mountain gang? How come he's tied up here like us?"

"..."

Li Xizhao's expression was stiff: "Could it be that we harmed him? He was just passing by on the mountain, and ended up being affected by us."

It's already this late, if you still don't understand it, you'd be really stupid.

Cui Dongcang coughed twice and felt a little embarrassed.

Lin Beixuan slowly raised his head. He listened to the two people talking in his ear for a long time, and he already had some vague guesses in his mind.

"You two..."

"I'm really sorry, brother. It's us who have dragged you down this time. If we can escape, we will definitely take you with us." When Cui Dongcan saw Lin Beixuan wake up, he immediately opened his mouth to express his apologies.

"no……"

"I know what you want to say, and I also understand that it is all our fault that you have become like this. If I have the chance, I will explain it clearly to those bandits." Cui Dongcang opened his eyes and looked sincere.

As an outstanding young person in the 21st century, it would be a bit unreasonable not to say sorry for having cheated innocent people.

"Listen to me!"

Lin Beixuan had no choice but to interrupt Cui Dongcang who was about to continue speaking. In order to prevent anyone in the dungeon from eavesdropping, he said something cryptic.

“When will Black Myth be released?”

Li Xizhao answered without thinking: "August 8!"

"..."

The dungeon suddenly became dead silent, with only the sound of dewdrops accumulating on the stone walls dripping onto the ground.

Li Xizhao opened his mouth wide before he could even close it, and heard Cui Dongcang trembling with excitement: "Comrade...Comrade!"

Lin Beixuan's face darkened: "You are gay, your whole family is gay."

Very good, the code is correct.

Several people had smiles on their faces.

"I didn't expect you to be the same, brother. I almost misunderstood you before!"

After knowing that Lin Beixuan was also a secular prince, they spoke more relaxedly.

Li Xizhao asked curiously, "Brother, where were you born? I have been wandering around Qingzhou for so long, but this is the first time I have met you."

"It's a small village on the border between Luozhou and Qingzhou. I just came out from there recently." Lin Beixuan said frankly. There was nothing to hide.

He has only been in the secular world for half a month, and has spent most of his time in Huangshi Village and Anle County. It is normal that the other party does not know him.

"I heard that the starving ghosts in Luozhou are causing a lot of trouble, and have begun to affect other states and counties. Brother, are you okay?" Li Xizhao was surprised. He was asking about Lin Beixuan's lifespan. Born near such a dangerous place, he probably would have died countless times at the beginning. Lin Beixuan naturally knew the meaning of the other party's words, and just smiled: "The village was indeed affected at the beginning, but it was resolved quickly."

After chatting for a while, they slowly turned the topic to Qingyun Village.

"How did you end up offending those people from Wumeng Mountain? Why are you being hunted down by them?"

Cui Dongcang sighed, his expression slightly helpless: "To be honest with you, we just wanted to make some money from incense offerings at the beginning."

"I studied Confucianism, and by chance I passed the imperial examination and became a scholar, so I have some connections in the surrounding counties. I often team up with Lao Li to take on bounties posted by government offices."

"Bounty Hunter?"

"You can say that." Cui Dongcang thought for a moment and said in a deep voice, "Some time ago, a notice was suddenly posted in the government office, asking for someone to go to Wumeng Mountain to recruit them. In addition to cash, the reward was a full 1,000 yuan in incense money."

"Old Li and I were tempted at the time. We thought it was just a matter of passing on a message. Even if it was dangerous, so what? We both had our own mansions, and we could be resurrected after death, so we took the job."

When Li Xizhao heard this, he was so angry that even though he was tied to a stone pillar, he turned his head and confronted Cui Dongcan.

"When we first arrived at the mountain, everything was actually fine. The commander of Qingyun Village received us. He was interested in easing relations with the government. Even if he didn't accept the amnesty, at least he and I could go back alive."

"But this guy is so good. After entering Qingyun Village, his eyes are everywhere, and he wants to remember where the toilets are."

"It would have been fine if he had just seen it with his eyes, but he used a spiritual perception technique that he learned from somewhere to secretly investigate Qingyun Village and discovered their secrets."

Cui Dongcan rolled his eyes and said, "I just thought that this technique was rare and the other party couldn't detect it. I wanted to see why so many strange people gathered in Qingyun Village."

"Yes, you did find out. The result is that not only did we lose our lives, but we were also tied up and punished by these people." Li Xizhao sighed.

As he said this, he glanced at Lin Beixuan, and his meaning was very clear.

Innocent shot.

Lin Beixuan was silent for a moment and then asked, "What secrets did you find in Qingyun Village that they still won't let you go even after you died once."

"Brother, it's better for you not to know this secret. Maybe the people in Qingyun Village will let you go." Cui Dongcang and Li Xizhao looked at each other, and finally Cui Dongcang spoke.

Lin Beixuan frowned. He was caught and brought to this dungeon, but the two of them still wanted to hide it from him.

It would have been fine if he had stayed out of it, but now he was forced into it. How could he die without knowing what was going on?

Cui Dongcang noticed the change in Lin Beixuan's expression and knew that if he didn't explain things clearly, this secular prince he had just met might become enemies with him, so he could only speak slowly.

"There are a total of thirty-six alien clans in Wumeng Mountain. Each clan has an elected clan leader who serves as the leader of the bandits in Wumeng Mountain. These thirty-six people are collectively called the Thirty-Six Bandits by the government offices of several counties below the mountain."

"These alien clans all come from various places in the past dynasties. They have experienced many hardships, and some have even lost their families. Only one person has traveled through mountains and rivers to come here."

"And the reason they came here was because they were guided by a mysterious being."

"A mysterious existence?" Lin Beixuan narrowed his eyes slightly. He remembered that the panel had indicated that an unknown secular god was secretly extending his gaze and dark hands to this place, making unknown plans.

This mysterious existence may be the unknown secular god.

"But just based on this discovery, there shouldn't be any need for those aliens in Wumeng Mountain to go to such great lengths to hunt you down, right?"

"Because I discovered something more secretive!" Cui Dongcang shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"What is that?" Lin Beixuan wondered.

"The remains of Lu Chengjiang, who was once the general of Beizhen Prefecture and commanded hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, and who was eagle-eyed and wolf-eyed and wanted to take over the world."

Seeing that Lin Beixuan seemed to be unaware of this person, Li Xizhao explained, "Decades ago, there was a man who guarded the border and suppressed the foreign tribes outside the Great Wall from invading. His reputation at the time even surpassed that of the monarchs in office in previous dynasties."

"Perhaps it was ambition that got the better of him, or perhaps he thought the emperor was incompetent, so he rebelled."

Lin Beixuan had heard the word "rebellion" countless times from his ninth aunt, who would repeat in his ear from time to time: He was a destined person and had the potential to rebel.

Now that he heard about the previous rebel, Lin Beixuan couldn't help but become interested.

"It's a pity that he failed!"

Lin Beixuan understood clearly, there was no doubt about this, if it succeeded, the current dynasty would no longer be called the Li Dynasty.

Li Xizhao closed his eyes and said, "The two sides had a combined army of nearly one million. After three days of confrontation on Tianming Plain, a conflict finally broke out."

"In addition to the generals and soldiers of the human side, there were also countless evil spirits participating in this battle, including the gods of mountains, rivers, cities, and stars... Even several of the great gods who were in charge of the twelve zodiac signs fell."

"After a fierce battle lasting half a month, the sky and the earth changed color, blood flowed like a river, and both sides suffered heavy casualties. The fortune of the past dynasties collapsed, and the cause and effect of the secular world was destroyed. Even the Yellow Springs Yin River was broken, and the underworld no longer rotated. The dead had nowhere to go, and could only turn into ghosts and wander the world, fighting for territory with humans."

"Since then, evil spirits have been unrestrained. Foreign races from outside the Great Wall frequently enter the Great Wall, and evil spirits from Southeast Asia wreak havoc on the coasts of various states. The origin of all this comes from this Lu Chengjiang."

"call……"

After saying so much in one breath, Li Xizhao couldn't help but feel his mouth dry. He wanted to ask someone to bring him some water, but considering his current situation, it seemed inappropriate.

"Lu Chengjiang."

Lin Beixuan silently memorized the name in his heart. If this was the case, it would be understandable. Once the news of this person's remains was leaked, the entire Wumeng Mountain, no, the entire Qingzhou would be doomed.

A set of remains may not represent anything, but what people care about is not this, but whether Lu Chengjiang will leave any legacy.

Wouldn't a ruthless man who once led hundreds of thousands of soldiers to rebel and almost destroyed the entire dynasty leave any relics after his death?
He didn't believe it himself.

"The news you have is really... shockingly big!" Lin Beixuan couldn't help but click his tongue.

"Haha, that's why I said it's better for you not to know!" Cui Dongcang laughed bitterly at the side: "If we little people get such news, even if you promise to keep it to yourself and not tell anyone, how can those people in Wumeng Mountain believe it?"

"The only people who are best at keeping secrets are the dead. Even ghosts can't do that. After all, even ghosts in the secular world can speak."

Yes, this kind of shocking news is not something that little people like them can afford.

The dungeon fell silent again. The three of them lost interest in conversation. The sound of water dripping on the stone wall continued.

Not long after, several heavy footsteps were heard outside the dungeon.

Several strange people who were two meters tall, big and strong, with tiger noses, bull eyes, and sharp teeth on the corners of their mouths opened the prison door.

Behind them, a middle-aged man with an ordinary face walked in.

This person is the most human-like person Lin Beixuan has ever seen. The only difference between him and ordinary people is the upside-down third eye on his forehead.
