Secular world: My destiny has no taboos

Chapter 134 133: Yinguan-Li Tianqing

The Soul-Gathering God; he is in charge of the four major ways of arresting souls, searching for souls, guiding souls, and escorting souls. According to worldly legends, he walks between the Yin and Yang worlds and is the god responsible for guiding the souls of the dead.

In secular folk legends, it is recorded that it likes to wander in the dark, pass by the doors of dead people's homes, capture the souls of the dead, and extradite them to the underworld for judgment.

Some people think it is a good god, who lets people no longer be lost in the world after death and gives them a place to go. Others think it is an evil god, who drags people away to be judged, but is nothing more than a messenger from the underworld.

Although people have mixed opinions about it, and even mostly say bad things about it, the Soul-Binding God never cares about those outsiders. It only cares about those who believe in it.

When a person dies, if relatives hear the sound of clanking chains in the room, it means that it has come.

The cold and heavy chains were emitting a slight chill as they pulled Wu Huo into the illusory mansion gate. Amidst the surging of thick yin energy, several monsters with human bodies in the form of sheep in front of the gate opened their strange eyes, reached out to take the chains, held Wu Huo's shoulders and were about to take him into the mansion.

Everyone knew that once Wu Huo was taken in, his life would probably be gone.

But facing the pressure from the secular god, no one from Qingyun Village dared to step forward to stop him.

Even the other commander who co-hosted the sacrificial ceremony with Wu Huo just watched with a frown.

No one dared to intervene when the secular gods were angry, they could not afford it.

"Hurry up and inform the commander-in-chief!" The commander who co-hosted the ceremony with Wu Huo was a skinny man with a green face and white hair, who looked like a walking corpse. He immediately ordered his men.

"Yes!" The subordinate behind him took a look at the scene on the altar and hurriedly ran into the village.

When this happened, everyone was immediately frightened by the methods used by the Soul Binding God. Although this was not the actual arrival of the Soul Binding God, the altar was already filled with the Soul Binding God's will.

Wu Huo was taken into the mansion by a monster with a sheep-like body. He looked as if he was dead. His body, which was still struggling, suddenly stiffened and his head drooped.

The pair of eyes inside the mansion gate stared quietly at the stranger in front of it who dared to offend its dignity. Although it knew that the other party was a member of the tribe of its worshiper, Grandma Yan, it was still prepared to make Wu Huo pay the price of death.

But just when everyone thought that Wu Huo was doomed to die, Lin Beixuan, who had been briefly ignored, inexplicably walked out, passed through the pervasive yin energy, suddenly made a move, and tightly grabbed Wu Huo who was brought into the mansion.

"Ok?"

The pair of eyes in the mansion suddenly looked over and stared at Lin Beixuan.

[Your actions have caused the anger of the Soul-Binding God, who is trying to send down more power.]

I haven't settled the score with you yet, and you dare to jump out on your own!

Inside the deep and dark mansion gate, two chains stretched out towards Lin Beixuan, trying to tie him up together.

However, Lin Beixuan took a look, moved his hands quickly, and his strength surged. Before the two sheep-headed humans could react, he snatched Wu Huo from their hands.

However, Wu Huo was still tied up with chains, and after he was pulled past him, there was still an invisible force pulling Wu Huo into the mansion.

At the same time, the force that was eroding Wu Huo's body climbed up his arm and onto Lin Beixuan's hand.

This scene seems like one fails to save others and ends up getting himself into trouble.

But why did he want to save Wu Huo?
There is a saying that the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

He is now freed from the means arranged by Grandma Yan. He can commit suicide at any time and resurrect anywhere in Wumeng Mountain, but that is not a good idea.

You have to know that his purpose of coming to Wumeng Mountain this time was to find the Starry Sky Meteorite Iron, and Wumeng Mountain is the territory of the Thirty-Six Thieves. Even if he escapes this time, the other party will look for him all over the mountain. Not only will the difficulty of obtaining the Starry Sky Meteorite Iron increase exponentially, he also faces the risk of being hunted down.

His current strength is still some distance away from the group of people in Wumeng Mountain, especially the commander-in-chief. Once he is put on the wanted list, his life or death on this trip to Wumeng Mountain will be unpredictable.

Besides, Cui Dongcan and Li Xizhao were not like him who broke free from Grandma Yan’s control. If he escaped, they would surely die.

The best thing to do now is to reconcile with the other party.

Wuhuo is a breakthrough point at the moment, so no matter from which angle, the opponent cannot die.

Lin Beixuan felt something strange coming from his body. Two chains on his side were clanging and approaching him, and were about to trap him in the next second.

The more critical the moment was, the calmer Lin Beixuan's face became. He slowly placed his hand on the Baina Qiankun bag at his waist. A familiar black object appeared in his hand, which he gently held with his fingers.

"Haunting Hall."

Rumor has it that the first Fengdu County Magistrate, Li Tianchang, often carried with him an item for judging cases. He would judge lives during the day and kill people at night.

The only purple-quality item on Lin Beixuan's body is also the most mysterious item. Every time he uses it, his life will be sucked away by the evil spirit on it.

However, as his blood recovery attribute continues to increase, the cost of using the Ghost Hall is also decreasing. It is estimated that it won’t take long for both sides to reach a balance.

Since Jinggui Hall possesses the aura of disaster, it means that this treasure is not as simple as the information on the panel. Perhaps it was once used by a secular god.

"I can only take a gamble!"

When Lin Beixuan took out the Ghost Hall, the familiar evil spirit was about to penetrate into Lin Beixuan's body.

wrong.

As if sensing something, the evil aura emanating from the Ghost Hall suddenly paused. It did not rush towards Lin Beixuan as usual, but slowly dissipated in the air.

The two chains that were approaching Lin Beixuan seemed to be affected by an unknown factor and trembled as they moved away from Lin Beixuan.

The huge eyes in the darkness narrowed slightly and looked at the rising wisps of disaster.

"You're actually still alive?"

A hoarse voice came from the darkness, and the negative energy turned into gray mist that isolated the entire altar, preventing the sound from spreading.

After hearing this, Lin Beixuan's face darkened and he looked at the Jingguitang in his hand.

In the dark space, the only sound was the clanking of chains.

After a moment, the scattered evil spirit slowly gathered together and formed a middle-aged man's face in mid-air.

"Alive or dead, does it matter?"

The voice was rich and deep, revealing a sense of majesty and solemnity.

There was a slight change in Lin Beixuan's eyes. He didn't expect that there were other things hidden in the Ghost Hall.

The Soul-Binding God spoke in a hoarse voice, his eyes flickering like red candle flames: "Is it not important? You should have died in that great battle back then - Yin Guan."

“Hehe…” The illusory face showed a tired smile: “There is no Yin official here. It’s just a dead ghost.”

"What I didn't expect was that the ghost messenger who was ordered to arrest the spirits back then has now become a secular god!"

"Hmph, the road to the underworld is cut off, the ghosts of the dead have nowhere to rest, and evil spirits are everywhere. All of this is your fault. Although I didn't participate in the war, I did accept the mess you left behind." The gray fog in the space shook, and the slightly angry voice of the Soul Binding God came out. "Don't act like a good kid after getting the advantage. If it were before, you wouldn't even be qualified to talk to me."

"Yin Guan, it's a pity that things are not the same as before. You are just a bunch of defeated generals. What qualifications do you have to speak nonsense in front of me?"

"You didn't even have the courage to join the war back then, but you, a lowly person, have no right to deny us. Isn't the reason you're paying attention here because of General Lu's remains?"

Lin Beixuan listened to the conversation between the Soul Binding God and the illusory human face, and roughly guessed something. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart: Brother, do you really have to be so harsh? We are at a disadvantage now!

After the illusory human face said this, there was no movement from the Soul-Binding God, apparently he had been stabbed in the heart.

"You are just a small remnant spirit now, yet you dare to humiliate me? Today I will make your soul completely fly away."

Sure enough, after a long silence, the Soul-Binding God immediately took action.

Lin Beixuan originally thought that if these two secular gods were familiar with each other, it would at least give the Soul-Binding God some face. However, he did not expect that the two sides were actually enemies. Now, they would most likely have to fight.

However, what he didn't expect was that the secular god named Yinguan showed no fear when he saw the Soul-Binding God taking action.

"How much power can a simple altar contain? Let's disperse quickly."

As soon as the words fell, the evil spirit of the gods in the Ghost Hall suddenly burst out, sweeping all the sacrificial items on the altar to the ground and invading the altar. Soon the altar became shaky and suddenly collapsed from the middle.

"Rumble..."

The altar was enveloped by smoke and dust. Lin Beixuan heard the angry shout of the Soul-Binding God: "I will remember you!"

It didn't seem like it was speaking to the illusory face, but rather to Lin Beixuan.

[The altar of the Soul-Binding God was destroyed. You defeated the minor god, the Soul-Binding God, without causing any damage to him. You successfully obtained 5000 coins and picked up an item from him, the Soul-Binding Chain.]

[You have been valued by the Soul-Binding God, and the Soul-Binding God's favorability towards you has been reduced by -100. ]

[Soul-catching Chain (Blue): According to legend, it is a common item used by the underworld to guide the underworld messengers. It is used to catch souls and prevent ghosts from escaping. Breaking evil +25, critical hit +20, with the additional skill - Soul-catching.]

[Soul Binding: There is a saying among the people that evil spirits can capture souls, but it is actually the work of the Yin Messenger. The moment you pick it up, you will have some of the functions of the Soul Binding God, the responsibility of extraditing the souls of the dead. When you use it to deal with ghosts, Intimidation +20, Speed +15. ]

In the ruins, Lin Beixuan saw at a glance the place where the Soul-Binding God had appeared before. There was a group of eerie objects there.

Lin Beixuan walked over quickly, his breathing became heavy, and he grasped the soul-haunting chain tightly in his hand.

It is no exaggeration to say that this is the weapon with the greatest attribute increase he has ever seen.

It's not like the previous ones where you only increase attribute points by single digits by searching, but it increases by dozens.

Even if an ordinary person gets this weapon, I'm afraid ordinary ghosts would just dare to avoid it.

This is a special weapon designed to suppress evil spirits such as ghosts.

"Pick it up, and you will be the soul-catcher." The voice of Yin Guan suddenly sounded from the side. He looked at Lin Beixuan dimly, with a teasing tone in his voice.

"Is there anything wrong with that?" Lin Beixuan asked curiously.

"There's nothing wrong with it. You are naturally familiar with the underworld. Before you have a suitable weapon, it can bring you a lot of help."

"After all, Jingguitang is not a weapon to fight against the enemy. It is suitable as a sacrifice and used to repair the door of your mansion." Yin Guan looked at Lin Beixuan with a gentle gaze, like a teacher who taught and educated people.

"You have been living in the Haunted Hall. Are you alive or dead?"

Lin Beixuan looked back, and when he learned that there was still the consciousness of a former secular god in the Ghost Hall, he felt a little uneasy.

Yin Guan saw the worry in Lin Beixuan's eyes and smiled: "Don't worry, I won't do anything to you. I am a dead man, I just died again. Just treat me as dead."

"I noticed you when you first opened the Haunted Hall. Along the way, I saw a lot, including your resurrection from the dead."

Hearing this, Lin Beixuan's heart tightened, and there was a hint of murderous intent in his eyes as he looked towards Yin Guan.

As a mortal son, his ability to resurrect was his greatest secret, but now it was known by the secular gods in the secular world.

"Haha, don't worry. I'm just a remnant soul. I'm not interested in your ability. Besides, your method of rebirth after death is not the first time I've seen it. There were also a group of people who possessed this ability decades ago."

"???"

Lin Beixuan's pupils suddenly contracted after hearing this.

"There's nothing to be surprised about. Those returning home..." Yin Guan said, then suddenly stopped and left the question unanswered: "Never mind. Go explore it yourself later. This world is yours now."

This sentence seemed to have a hidden meaning. The illusory face of Yin Guan slowly raised his head and looked at the sky where the smoke and dust were gradually dissipating. There was not a single cloud blocking the sky, and it looked like a flawless sapphire.

"Remember my name, my name is Li Tianqing."

He looked back at Lin Beixuan, and the evil spirit disappeared.

Lin Beixuan looked at the direction where Li Tianqing disappeared, frowning slightly: "What is his relationship with Li Tianchang? Was the war decades ago a battle for the destiny of the dynasties? But why did he join the war?"

A trip to Wumeng Mountain allowed him to inexplicably learn too much information. He currently didn't even know how many states there were in the secular world, but he ended up learning some secrets from decades ago.

"I'm just a nobody, I shouldn't know this!"

Lin Beixuan was not excited about learning the secret. Instead, he looked solemn and was thinking about what to do next.

"Someone come quickly, I see Commander Wu Huo."

A man suddenly appeared in the smoke and dust. After seeing Lin Beixuan and Wu Huo at his feet, he quickly took two steps back and then shouted.

Not long after, rustling sounds were heard all around, and various strange figures appeared in the smoke and dust, surrounding Lin Beixuan.

When the smoke and dust cleared, Lin Beixuan looked around at the people surrounding him. He had even seen several of them before. The leader among them was the commander-in-chief who had led them out of the dungeon before.

He first looked at Wu Huo, whose chest was still rising and falling at Lin Beixuan's feet, and spoke slowly with a blank expression: "Save Grandma Yan and the others first, and send Wu Huo to Tao Tao."

He mentioned Grandma Yan and Wu Huo, but did not specify what should be done with Lin Beixuan.

Lin Beixuan stood where he was, watching those strange people come over and carry Wu Huo away, and then dig out the unconscious Grandma Yan.

After all this was over, the commander-in-chief walked up to Lin Beixuan and raised his arm: "Would it be convenient for us to talk?"

　If there are any omissions or typos, please correct them and I will correct them in time. As for the issue of frequent updates, I will deal with family matters these two days and go to bed late at night. I will type out 6,000 to 8,000 words. This is already the limit for Sanyang. I am slow in thinking, so my typing speed is also slow. It takes me basically three and a half hours to type out 4,000 words. Please forgive me for the short updates, haha.
