Secular world: My destiny has no taboos

Chapter 135 134: We just want to live
"Would it be convenient for us to talk?"

The commander-in-chief looked at Lin Beixuan meaningfully, his eyes flashing. The third eye on his forehead was closed when he was not opening his eyes, just like an ordinary person's, but when he opened it, it would emit a scarlet light.

"Okay."

After a moment's silence, Lin Beixuan grinned.

The commander-in-chief led the way in front, and Lin Beixuan followed behind, all the way to Qingyun Village.

This was the first time he saw a village built by ancient bandits. To be honest, it was very different from what he saw on TV and imagined.

It can be summed up in two words: 'clean'.

As seen in movies and TV dramas, those mountain bandits who rob people on a daily basis are often ferocious and vicious, drinking and eating meat all day long. The village is not only dirty, but at least it stinks.

But Qingyun Village gives people the feeling that it is a well-organized mountain village, with wooden houses of all sizes scattered around. There is a blacksmith who specializes in ironmaking in the village, a simple medicine house, and even a school from which the sound of students reading can be heard.

Not only that, the streets in the village are spacious and clean. Many foreign women carry clothes that have been washed in mountain streams and take them to the open space to prop up bamboo poles to dry them.

It is such a peaceful and harmonious atmosphere that appears in the bandit camp of Wumeng Mountain, which makes the outside world tremble with fear. It is simply indescribable weird.

"You look confused?"

Looking around the scene in the village, Lin Beixuan did not notice that the commander in front of him had slowed down his pace, and the two of them were already walking side by side.

"Yes, it's a little different from what I imagined." Lin Beixuan said truthfully.

The commander-in-chief smiled cheerfully: "In the eyes of you outsiders, do we all seem to be bandits who do all kinds of evil and make a living by robbing people all day long and occupy the Wumeng Mountain?"

Lin Beixuan did not answer, but the expression on his face seemed to indicate that he had acquiesced to this.

He had heard a lot about Wumeng Mountain in Anle County. They said that these bandits were committing all kinds of evil. Wherever they passed by, they would massacre the village, sweep away all the money and property in the village, and would not even spare children under one year old.

The government sent troops to encircle and suppress the rebellion but failed to take it down for a long time, and many people died.

Seeing that Lin Beixuan remained silent, the commander-in-chief chuckled indifferently, raised his face and showed a hint of sarcasm: "Everything you know is what the government wants you to know, but no one of you will go into the actual situation."

"We just arrived in Wumeng Mountain and wanted to build a new home here, away from the world, but the government labeled us as bandits for no reason."

"When a village was massacred, they put the blame on us, not knowing that we had never been there. It was the powerful who were practicing evil magic, and in order to prevent the news from leaking out, they sacrificed the entire village."

"There were civilians whose land was seized. When they sued to no avail, the landlords killed them and put the blame on us."

"Have……"

The commander-in-chief spoke slowly, but he couldn't help but laugh out loud. He sighed, "We have been bullied outside and our families have been broken up. Even if we gather in the mountains, it's just to keep each other warm and to survive."

"But the government doesn't want us to live, they throw dirty water on us, and send troops to encircle and suppress us. What can we do?"

"When we came down the mountain to seek revenge, we were accused of plundering. But we never trampled on the land of ordinary people, and never harmed any innocent people. We only targeted the government and the landlords who were eyeing us."

"You don't understand the details and call us evil thieves. I have nothing to say. Just bear with it. But the real evil people cannot be identified by appearance. What they do often makes you fall into the trap without knowing it, and become their fish on the chopping board."

The commander-in-chief stopped and looked at Lin Beixuan calmly: "I am not telling you this to win your sympathy, but to reason with you."

"The people of Qingyun Village have done nothing wrong. We just want to live in peace. But if resisting the malicious intent that comes to our door is considered evil, then we will definitely become the most vicious villains."

When he said this, the commander-in-chief was filled with murderous intent, the flesh on his forehead was torn, and his scarlet eyes stared at Lin Beixuan.

"I have investigated your affairs thoroughly and know that you are indeed not from the government. It is all a misunderstanding. In addition, you saved Wu Huo, so you are the benefactor of Qingyun Village. So if you have any requests, you can raise them and I will try my best to meet them."

"crunch..."

The wooden door was slowly pushed open, making a harsh sound due to friction, and a stale smell was mixed in the air.

This was a lobby similar to a conference room, spacious and bright. Sunlight shone through the windows onto the long table. A piece of coarse cloth was hung on the wall, with the emblems of the thirty-six alien clans painted on it.

"Sit anywhere."

The commander-in-chief invited Lin Beixuan into the house, and he himself sat in the seat of honor at the head of the hall.

Above his head was the united clan emblem representing the thirty-six alien clans.

Lin Beixuan sat down after hearing this. After listening to the commander-in-chief's words, his impression of the people in Qingyun Village has changed a lot, but he is not sure whether the other party's words are true or false.

"Do those two still have a chance to survive?" Lin Beixuan said after a moment of silence.

The commander shook his head: "I don't know what the relationship between you is, but since they discovered the secret of my village, they can't survive."

When the commander-in-chief said this, his eyes fell on Lin Beixuan, and it seemed as if he knew everything about his mind.

Lin Beixuan had no doubt that the other party actually knew the truth and he also knew the secrets of the village.

But for some reason, the other party did not tell him the secret that he also knew.

Lin Beixuan thought for a moment and looked up: "You just said I can make a request to you."

"You want to use this request to exchange for the lives of those two people?" The commander-in-chief frowned.

"Yes, I wonder if the commander-in-chief agrees?"

Lin Beixuan clasped his hands together. This was a decision he made after thinking for a long time.

If he did not save Cui Dongcang and the other two, based on the fact that he saved Wu Huo's life, perhaps he could directly ask Qingyun Village to help him search for the Starry Sky Meteorite Iron, greatly reducing the time it would take him to obtain the Starry Sky Meteorite Iron.

But seeing Cui Dongcan and the other man die, he really couldn't do it.

You know, the other party not only wants to kill the two, but also wants to imprison and destroy their souls, leaving them no chance to resurrect.

If they do this, Cui Dongcan and the other person will probably remain in a coma in this world, no different from vegetative state, until their bodies rot and they die.

Although he and Cui Dongcan had only met not long ago, they were both secular princes. Now that there was an opportunity to save someone in front of him, he would feel guilty if he didn't give it a try.

The commander-in-chief looked at Lin Beixuan with a gradually cold look in his eyes: "Are you sure you want to use this favor to exchange for the lives of those two people?"

Lin Beixuan nodded when he heard this. Since the other party said so, it meant there was hope.

"does it worth?"

"It's not about whether it's worth it or not, I just want to have a clear conscience." Lin Beixuan shrugged.

Hearing this, the commander-in-chief was obviously stunned. He did not expect Lin Beixuan to give such an answer. After a few seconds of silence, he said calmly: "I can spare the lives of those two people, but they must stay in Wumeng Mountain for the next few years, and they need to take a poisonous insect, and they will not be able to speak from now on."

"Thank you, Commander-in-Chief."

"You don't need to call me the commander-in-chief. My name is Yang Jian." Yang Jian leaned back in his chair and said, "You stay in the village for a few days. I will release them from the dungeon after everything is arranged."

After that, Yang Jian ordered someone to take Lin Beixuan to a vacant room in a family in the village. "Sir, if you need anything, just call me next door." The aunt who brought Lin Beixuan here was smiling and very polite.

"Thank you!"

Lin Beixuan thanked him and took a look at the decoration inside the house. He found that it was no different from the dilapidated old wooden house in his hometown decades ago. Instead of feeling simple, it gave him a faint sense of warmth.

Seeing the aunt was about to leave, Lin Beixuan suddenly stopped her and said, "Excuse me, how is my horse now?"

He remembered that Ta Yan was captured with him.

"The commander-in-chief has told me that your exotic horse is now being kept in the mount pen of the commanders in the village. Please rest assured that it will be well fed and well-drinked."

Lin Beixuan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that. After the aunt left, he sat on the bed and began to recuperate from the serious injuries in his body.

Previously, in order to break through the insect curse that Grandma Yan had cast on him, he had mobilized almost all of the air in his body, forcibly reversing his five internal organs to resist the invasion of the black liquid and the poisonous insects in his brain.

Now all his organs except his heart are displaced and bleeding. The only reason he can hold on until now is because of his blood recovery attribute.

"It seems that I can strengthen the cultivation of blood recovery attributes in the future."

Lin Beixuan leaned against the wall, adjusting his breathing rhythm to relieve the discomfort in his five internal organs, his chest rising and falling rhythmically.

Before going up Mount Wumeng, he promised that he would not suffer any internal injuries and did not buy any medicine to treat them. However, he ended up getting what he needed.

You can only rely on the blood recovery attribute to recover slowly!

Lin Beixuan sighed, keeping his body from making excessive movements, and letting his consciousness sink into his mind.

He remembered that a trace of Grandma Yan's consciousness had once penetrated into his mind, attempting to crush his will to resist, but was instead devoured by the three shadows in his mind, giving him an opportunity.

"What exactly is that shadow?"

Lin Beixuan searched every corner of his mind, but found nothing.

He remembered that when he had put on the three-headed Qiwei destiny pattern, unknown changes had occurred, which collectively improved his attributes and awakened an ability at the same time.

Reverse scale.

The evil consequence of eating emotions is that when someone is invaded mentally, they will automatically devour the other person's mental power and strengthen their own corresponding attributes.

Could it be that those three shadows are the reverse scale?

From now on, I don’t have to worry about my consciousness being invaded.

Lin Beixuan thought so, what the secular man feared most was that his consciousness would be invaded and that the secular people would obtain his most important secrets.

He had seen such a post in a communication group between the two worlds. The victim was a friend of the poster. His consciousness was invaded in the secular world, and his deepest secrets were known. Later, the victim took over the friend's nest, and his consciousness attached itself to the spirit of his friend and descended into the world.

It silently influenced the other party and caused quite a bit of impact in the world. It took official intervention to resolve the matter.

His friend died at home a few days later because his soul was polluted.

This is a true case. For this reason, most worldly people will basically look for treasures or methods that can protect their spirits.

"Tuk tuk tuk..."

Just at this moment, there was a knock on the door. Lin Beixuan immediately left his mind and looked outside the door in confusion.

"Please come in."

The door was pushed open, and someone he didn't expect came in.

"Tao Tao!" Lin Beixuan frowned slightly, and quickly realized that the other party was also an extraordinary person, and naturally belonged to the Qingyun Village.

Tao Tao walked in with a plate in her hand, on which was a bowl of foul-smelling liquid.

"I've been waiting for you by the bluestone for a long time, but I didn't expect you to come to my village." Tao Tao smiled sarcastically.

Seeing the other party's expression, Lin Beixuan knew that the other party must have known about him and Qingyun Village, so he immediately explained: "It was a misunderstanding between you and me."

"I know it's a misunderstanding, otherwise I wouldn't have come to give you the medicine." Tao Tao handed the bowl to Lin Beixuan: "Drink it."

Lin Beixuan glanced at the light green and somewhat turbid liquid in the bowl, and a herbal smell lingered in his nose.

"Thank you." Lin Beixuan took the bowl and drank it all in one gulp.

The cool liquid flowed down the throat into the body, and the internal organs that had been painful and burning before seemed to be cleansed and immediately felt a lot more relaxed.

Tao Tao watched Lin Beixuan drink the medicine without hesitation, and felt a little better: "I'm going to ask you the question you asked me to ask before."

"Where?" Lin Beixuan's eyes lit up.

Tao Tao sat down on a stool nearby: "Uncle Man told me that he picked up that piece of Starry Sky Meteorite Iron on the outskirts of the Black Evil Valley east of Wumeng Mountain."

"Black Demon Valley..."

"I suggest you not to go to that place." Tao Tao said.

"Why?" Lin Beixuan was a little curious. Since there was Starry Sky Meteorite Iron outside the Black Evil Valley, there was a high probability that there would be some inside as well.

Tao Tao explained: "Ordinary people cannot go to the Black Evil Valley. The evil spirit inside is too heavy, and there are tens of thousands of zombies and vengeful spirits. The evil spirit emanating from the outside alone will affect people's minds and make them crazy."

"The commander-in-chief has also been to that place to investigate before, but even he didn't dare to set foot there, saying that it was very dangerous and there might be monsters there."

Tao Tao paused here and tilted her head: "You should know what a ghost is, right?"

Lin Beixuan nodded. He had learned about the information about Wangliang. Wangliang was a kind of ghostly spirit that evolved after consuming enough evil spirits. Its strength was extremely terrifying.

There was a large-scale secular world crossing in Los Angeles, and a monster took the opportunity to cross the two worlds and appeared in the human world, causing many casualties among secular people and civilians.

"That's good to know. That place is not suitable for human beings. If you really want the Starry Sky Meteorite, I suggest you just look around and see if you have a chance to pick up some fragments."

Tao Tao had made her words very clear. Seeing that Lin Beixuan looked thoughtful, she picked up the empty bowl beside her and left the room.

"Wangling, Black Evil Valley!"

Lin Beixuan muttered to himself, his eyes gradually becoming firm.

He could feel that he was getting closer and closer to the palace. When the eight acupoints in his body condensed the energy columns, he would be able to knock on the palace door between his eyebrows.

Tens of thousands of zombies might be extremely dangerous for ordinary people, but in his opinion, the Black Evil Valley is an excellent place to level up.
