Secular world: My destiny has no taboos

Chapter 157 Chapter 156: Recruiting Yin Soldiers

This unconscious spirit circled around Lin Beixuan and merged into the new aura of disaster together with the other dense spirits.

The matter was over, and the power belonging to Li Tianqing was drawn out of Lin Beixuan's body. Wisps of black smoke rose from under his skin and returned to the Ghost Hall.

A part of it condensed into a human face and appeared in front of Lin Beixuan.

Li Tianqing said in a somewhat weak tone: "Boy, I helped you, but why did you consume a lot of my evil energy?"

"Sorry, I don't know about this."

Lin Beixuan felt a little embarrassed as he looked at the face that was obviously much more illusory.

"Oh, forget it, I am a great man and I don't bear grudges." Li Tianqing said dejectedly.

The main reason was that he didn't expect that Lin Beixuan did not rely on his strength, but instead directly absorbed his strength to help himself break through the mansion gate.

There is an essential difference between the two.

One is active and the other is passive.

"Remember the request I made before?"

"Remember." Lin Beixuan nodded without changing his expression.

"That's good." Li Tianqing was in a good mood when he saw that Lin Beixuan spoke without any hesitation: "My conditions are not difficult. I will tell you when the time comes."

"Since you are so straightforward, I will not bother you for taking my power for now. By the way, I will give you something."

Hearing this, Lin Beixuan raised his head with some confusion.

Li Tianqing blew a breath towards the place where Eleven died, and a wisp of invisible air flew out. He recited an obscure formula, as if it came from the distant void.

“It is often said that when a person dies, he turns into a ghost. When a ghost dies, his soul disappears. He will never be reincarnated and will completely dissipate in the world. However, there are always some wonderful ways to capture that wisp of energy and keep this last bit of thought.”

"The Supreme is pure and harmonious, with a spiritual mind and a long mind, and will be disturbed if you encounter evil spirits..."

As he chanted the incantation, the invisible energy was like a big hand that grasped the void for a moment, then clenched into a fist and crushed it. Then, when the palm was opened, a piece of transparent hand bone lay quietly in the center of the palm.

"Next." Li Tianqing casually threw the transparent hand bone to Lin Beixuan: "The last bit of the soldier's soul remains on this hand bone."

"Now the road to the underworld is cut off, the ghosts of the dead are hard to disappear, and they have turned into evil spirits that are everywhere in the world. The four temples for incense, ghosts, humans and gods are separated. When will it end?"

"You preserve his spirit, and you may have the opportunity to send him to the afterlife in the future. This is not only helping him, but also accumulating merit for you."

"Thank you." Lin Beixuan took the hand bone and said after pondering for a moment.

"No, this is what he should do. After all, he fought for General Lu back then, and he still sticks to his duties even after his death." Li Tianqing didn't know what he thought of in the end. He looked up to the sky and sighed, then slowly returned to the Ghost Hall.

Lin Beixuan looked down at the transparent hand bone and felt that it was not appropriate to put it in the Baina Qiankun bag, so he thought about it, unfolded the soul-sealing forbidden area array pattern on the palm of his right hand, and put the hand bone in it.

“Although the Sealed Spirit Forbidden Area is a place where ghosts are sealed, it contains Yin energy, which happens to play a role in nourishing the hand bones.”

Lin Beixuan's mind sank into the forbidden area. Perhaps because the forbidden area had been briefly integrated into his shrine before, the scene inside underwent some changes that he was not expecting.

The originally mostly dark areas were now lit up, revealing the dark and oily land inside. The environment became even more eerie. A river with no end in sight passed by and disappeared into the endless fog.

A corner of a magnificent building complex emerged from the fog. From a distance, it looked like a fierce fire and the air was filled with the smell of sulfur and corruption.

"This looks more and more like the underworld!"

Lin Beixuan's gaze crossed a very long distance and fell on Lu Jia, whom he had thrown in before.

At this time, Lu Jia curled up her legs like a baby, with her hands clasped across her chest, her eyes closed, and a look of fear lingering on her face.

Although there are ghosts in this world, there is no concept of Black and White Impermanence, nor is there the saying of the Eighteen Levels of Hell for judging people. To Lu Jia, Lin Beixuan's forbidden area is like a world dedicated to punishing ghosts, full of torture and pain everywhere.

But in Lin Beixuan's opinion, his forbidden area was not real enough. After all, it was just a created fantasy and was missing many things.

"One day I will turn the forbidden area into a real underworld. Anyone who enters my area will be judged."

Lin Beixuan exited the forbidden area, turned his head and saw a group of people from Qingyun Village.

Now that he has successfully established his own residence and officially embarked on the path of cultivation, he can vaguely feel the strength of most of the people in Qingyun Village.

In his field of vision, there was an aura emanating from everyone. Some were strong, some were weak, and they could be seen faintly gathering into the shape of a mansion gate behind him.

"The leading commanders are basically in the stage of establishing their own government."

Lin Beixuan looked towards Yang Jian, and saw that behind him there was not only an illusory mansion gate, but also a god-like figure that was constantly being worshipped by incense and offerings day and night, and was about to land inside the gate.

There is no doubt that as the commander-in-chief, Yang Jian’s strength is the highest among all the commanders, and he has almost reached the realm of half-step summoning gods.

Then Yang Jian was seen walking towards them with a short and strong figure.

……

"Thank you, I'm living well." Lin Beixuan stared at Yang Jian with a grim look.

The sudden appearance of a group of people from Qingyun Village here made him alert.

"I'm glad you're okay." Yang Jian sensed the vague hostility from Lin Beixuan and stopped consciously.

On the contrary, Wu Huo looked like he couldn't see through it, and strode forward: "My benefactor, are you okay?"

Lin Beixuan frowned slightly and turned to look at Wu Huo.

The panel once indicated that he had subdued a villain, and that person was Wu Huo.

Is it because I saved him?
Lin Beixuan thought about it and nodded to Wu Huo: "I'm fine."

"I heard from Tao Tao that you entered the Black Evil Valley, and I was thinking of coming to look for you, but I didn't expect to receive an order from the commander-in-chief to attack the Black Evil Valley."

Wu Huo briefly recounted the incident, and Lin Beixuan felt relieved after hearing it. He looked at Yang Jian and asked, "Why are you attacking the Black Evil Valley?"

Yang Jian pondered for a moment and said, "The Black Evil Valley is an important gateway connecting the other states. If we can get through here, Qingyun Village won't have to defend just one place. Even if the imperial court sends troops to attack us, we can disperse and move to other states."

What he said was true. Behind the Black Evil Valley was a group of mountains. From the east, west and south, one could reach the rest of the state. This was the best retreat route for Qingyun Village.

Of course, if you want to gain momentum, you can also ride out of the mountains and choose a province to attack.

After hearing Yang Jian's answer, Lin Beixuan did not intend to investigate further and said, "The ghost generals in the valley are dead, and only some unorganized ghost soldiers are left. If you trust me, I can help you open this road."

Yang Jian was stunned when he heard this and looked at Lin Beixuan with some suspicion.

They had originally planned to come here to take advantage of the situation, but they didn't expect that Lin Beixuan alone could kill the strongest monster in the Black Evil Valley.

It was indeed a failure to pick up the leak. Although I don't know what method Lin Beixuan used, there are still a large number of ghost soldiers in the valley at this time. If people are arranged to sweep them, with the strength of these ghost soldiers in the valley, Qingyun Village will probably lose a lot of manpower.

Yang Jian thought for a moment and asked, "What do you want?"

Lin Beixuan smiled and said, "I hope that after you have collected the treasures in the valley, I can have the priority to choose three treasures."

The Black Evil Valley has been occupied by these evil soldiers and ghost generals for decades. Not to mention the spiritual flowers and herbs that grow naturally inside it, the Black Evil Valley itself is a treasure pot that can nourish many ghost funeral objects.

It would be fine if these people from Qingyun Village didn't come. It would be better if he took the time to swallow all these things by himself.

But since all the other party members were dispatched, they essentially came here under the slogan of opening up the retreat route, which means that it is possible for him to swallow these things alone.

Instead, it would be better to do the other party a favor. He would go and clean up those evil soldiers, and the people from Qingyun Village would search for treasures in the valley. He would only take three of them first.

In this way, Qingyun Village would not lose manpower and would gain benefits for free, so they would surely not refuse.

Besides, Lin Beixuan never forgot the purpose of his coming to Wumeng Mountain, which was the Starry Sky Meteorite Iron.

Compared to him spending a lot of time searching in this huge valley alone, it was obviously much faster for all the members of Qingyun Village to go out and search.

At this time, Wu Huo, who was standing next to Yang Jian, couldn't help but widen his eyes when he heard that Lin Beixuan was going to clean up the huge number of Yin soldiers alone.

"My benefactor, with such a huge number of Yin soldiers, you alone..."

Although he admitted that Lin Beixuan was very powerful in killing monsters, it did not mean that he could deal with so many evil spirits by himself.

If the monsters are compared to adults and the ghost soldiers are compared to children of seven or eight years old, you have the ability to kill an adult alone, but that does not mean you have the ability to kill tens of thousands of children.

This is a very simple truth, and Wu Huo doesn't believe that Lin Beixuan doesn't understand it.

However, Lin Beixuan just smiled at him and held up three fingers.

"Give me three hours, and then you can pass freely."

"Three hours? Even if you kill chickens in three hours, you can't kill tens of thousands of them!" Wu Huo said in shock.

Hearing this, even Yang Jian, who was usually steady, felt a tremor in his heart.

Just as Wu Huo said, what Lin Beixuan said was too outrageous.

But it's only three hours after all, so why not wait a little longer?

Yang Jian did not hesitate and turned back to Qingyun Village.

Wu Huo glanced at Lin Beixuan and said, "My benefactor, it is better to do what you can. If there is any danger, retreat immediately and leave the cleansing of the ghost soldiers to us."

Lin Beixuan had a favorable impression of this villain who had been subdued by him according to the panel, so he said calmly: "Don't worry."

After saying that, Lin Beixuan turned around and disappeared into the dark mist.

There was actually another reason why he told Yang Jian and others that he would be the only one to clean up the Yin soldiers.

That is, in Lin Beixuan's view, these ghost soldiers are actually treasures.

Not long after walking, Lin Beixuan discovered that there were nearly a hundred ghost soldiers gathered by the black stream ahead.

These ghost soldiers should be the deserters who were scared away before. When they saw Lin Beixuan again, their first reaction was not to line up and fight, but to lay down their arms and surrender.

They are different from the low-level sword-and-sword ghosts on the periphery who have lost much of their intelligence. They have been following Zuo Qiu Ge all year round. These ghost soldiers are all strong and their intelligence is relatively well preserved.

Lin Beixuan walked up to these ghost soldiers and directly took out the relic he picked up from Zuoqiu Ge’s body - the tiger talisman.

Tiger Tally: A certificate used by ghosts to mobilize the ghost soldiers. Holding the tiger talisman can mobilize the ghost soldiers in the Black Evil Valley.

These ghost soldiers were soldiers of past dynasties during their lifetime, and were mobilized by military orders issued by the tiger talisman. After death, their aura was also closely connected with the tiger talisman.

Seeing Lin Beixuan take out the tiger talisman, a pale-faced soldier who looked much older among the Yin soldiers was the first to kneel on one knee and shouted: "Your subordinate greets the general!!!"

Lin Beixuan felt particularly comfortable hearing the word "General" and couldn't help but narrow his eyes to look at the Yin soldier.

The ghost soldier saw Lin Beixuan looking at him and knew that now was his chance to show off, so he turned around and said to the ghost soldiers behind him: "The one holding the tiger talisman is our general, why don't you hurry up and pay your respects!"

The ghost soldiers behind it had already been frightened by Lin Beixuan. Moreover, the tiger talisman could only be held by a general. Now that it was in Lin Beixuan's hand, Lin Beixuan was naturally the general of these ghost soldiers.

That makes sense, doesn't it?
The ghost soldiers looked at each other, then knelt on one knee in front of Lin Beixuan and shouted in unison: "Greetings, General!!!"

"..."

Lin Beixuan raised his eyebrows and said to the older ghost soldier: "What's your name?"

"Your Excellency, my name was Ma Han when I was alive."

"Ma Han... that's a nice name. I'll temporarily appoint you as the centurion of this team."

"Yes!" Ma Han's face lit up and he immediately said respectfully.

He was just a small soldier when he was alive, but unexpectedly, after his death, he was replaced by a general and became a centurion.

"You guys go quickly to the rest of the ghost soldiers and tell them that if they don't want to be scattered, they should all gather here with me." Lin Beixuan said.

Ma Han's face froze when he heard this, but he reacted quickly and led his newly formed team to quickly rush to the place where the other ghost soldiers were hiding.

Not long after, Lin Beixuan saw a large group of ghost soldiers coming from all directions. After seeing Lin Beixuan, they stood in front of Lin Beixuan and lined up in a military formation.

There was no way. Lin Beixuan was holding up the tiger talisman, and after being intimidated and brainwashed by Ma Han, they all knew that their army had a new owner.

After the troops were lined up, Ma Han led a dozen people to the front of the team, clasped his fists and said respectfully to Lin Beixuan: "General, everyone is here, about 13,000 people, there should be some who are hiding too deep to be found."

"Forget it if we don't find those people."

Lin Beixuan stood up and told the story that Qingyun Village was about to attack Heisha Valley to wipe them out.

After hearing this, all the ghost soldiers showed fear in their eyes. They were now a group of scattered sand and could not withstand the attack from the other side.

They have already paid for their sins in life with their lives. Now that they are dead, do they have to die again?
The ghost soldiers had different expressions on their faces, some were filled with fear, while others had deep resentment in their eyes and were determined to fight to the death.

Lin Beixuan looked at this scene and said expressionlessly: "Now that you have occupied the main road behind them, it is understandable that Qingyun Village wants to wipe you out, but there are other ways."

Upon hearing this, all the ghost soldiers turned their eyes to Lin Beixuan, and then saw Lin Beixuan slowly raise his hand, and a formation pattern in his palm gradually enlarged.

They sensed a familiar aura from this array pattern.

"If you enter my domain, not only will you be able to survive, I will also take you out of the shackles of the Black Evil Valley and let you see the mountains and rivers of the secular world today."
