Secular world: My destiny has no taboos

Chapter 16 016: Return (Seeking follow-up reading)
In the secular world, night is quite dangerous because ghosts are rampant at this time, and monsters and demons will take advantage of people's rest to cause trouble. It is the time of the day when the Yang energy is the weakest.

When Xu Shounian went to call back the soul, he encountered many ghosts and monsters who wanted to take the opportunity to suck his human blood. In the end, he had no choice but to pay money to buy his way and avoid as much trouble as possible.

I thought I would feel uneasy when I came back, but unexpectedly I felt surprisingly safe.

Especially when he walked into the Ruan family's house, all the ghosts around disappeared without a trace. Even if he saw an old lady with a cat face from afar, she turned around and left after seeing people. The money in her hand was of no use.

"How strange, how bizarre!"

When Xu Shounian brought back the soul of Little Stone, he saw Lin Beixuan still sitting on the doorstep and breathed a sigh of relief, "Nothing happened during this period, right?"

"everything is fine."

Lin Beixuan grinned, stood up and made way for Butler Xu to come in.

The lantern that was knocked down by the Ninth Aunt was not damaged and had been hung up again by him, so that Xu Shounian looked as if he had not experienced anything.

Lin Beixuan had no intention of telling others about what had happened to him, as doing so would only cause him a lot of trouble.

You can't just hand in the Ghost Hall that you picked up from someone else's storage room!

The gavel used by the first generation Fengdu County Magistrate when adjudicating cases has an extraordinary origin. Although he does not know why it ended up in the Ruan family's utility room, now that it is in his hands, Lin Beixuan will definitely not hand it over.

"I'm glad you're okay." Xu Shounian glanced at Lin Beixuan and just felt that the other party's breath was a little disordered, but he didn't think much about it.

After stepping into the door, Xu Shounian gave a wink, and Lin Beixuan immediately understood and closed the open door.

The next step is the final stage of calling the soul, returning the soul.

Xu Shounian inserted the burnt green incense in front of Xiao Shitou, took out a red date from the wooden box and fed it into Xiao Shitou's mouth. After Xiao Shitou put it in his mouth, he took out a pen and wrote the birth date he had recited earlier on yellow paper, and then pasted it on the top of Xiao Shitou's head.

"No matter what I say later, just shout 'I'm back'." Xu Shounian reminded Lin Beixuan beside him.

"Okay." Lin Beixuan nodded, with a bit of curiosity and excitement in his eyes.

As a post-2000s generation born in the millennium, it was the first time for him to see a similar process of calling souls in ancient Xuan Country up close, and he was even able to lend a hand in the middle.

"Let's begin." Xu Shounian picked up Xiao Shitou and placed him on the bench. He walked around him three times, muttering something.

Lin Beixuan couldn't hear clearly what Xu Shounian was saying, but when the other party finished speaking, he immediately followed up and shouted: "I'm back!"

After shouting several times in a row, Xu Shounian tore off the yellow paper stuck on Xiao Shitou's forehead, stretched out his hand in the air, and gently slapped the other's forehead.

Under Lin Beixuan's surprised gaze, Little Stone slowly opened his eyes, and seeing the housekeeper standing in front of him, he quickly stood up and said, "How come you are here, Grandpa Housekeeper? Little Stone has been staring at the gatehouse and has not dozed off."

Seeing the other party's panic-stricken look, Xu Shounian sighed and gently touched Xiao Shitou's head.

"I know, thank you for your hard work!"

Being touched on the head by the housekeeper, Xiao Shitou was at a loss for a moment. He turned to look at Lin Beixuan and saw that the other person was pale but had a happy smile on his face.

Just then, a rooster crowed outside. Hearing the sound, Little Stone couldn't help but shrink his head, shuddered all over, and an expression of fear appeared on his face.

When Lin Beixuan saw this scene, he remembered the crowing of a rooster when Butler Xu came back, and he immediately understood.

I think that Xiao Shitou's soul was frightened by the crowing of the rooster when he came back, and he was subconsciously afraid after he came back.

"All is well, all is well..."

Xu Shounian was not surprised by Xiao Shitou's fearful expression. He just rubbed his head again. After Xiao Shitou calmed down, he turned back and said to Lin Beixuan, "It's daybreak. You don't need to stand guard anymore. Go back and rest."

Only then did Lin Beixuan realize that the open-air courtyard was no longer as dark and deep as before. As the darkness receded, the morning light still appeared on the horizon.

Lin Beixuan nodded and left with the small stone. When he passed by the rockery in the center of the courtyard again, he smelled a stronger stench than yesterday.

After taking a deep look at the rockery, Lin Beixuan did not stay for long. After Xiao Shitou returned to the big bunk bed where the servants lived, he returned to the woodshed.

Throwing the tail of the Ninth Aunt into the large jar containing the head of the wall-climbing ghost, the head inside seemed to move inadvertently, and pushed the tail away with a little disgust. Lin Beixuan did not notice this scene, because he had more important things to do now.

That is to check what is gained during the night shift.

At this moment, under the character column on his panel, the annual coins had exceeded the 200 mark. You know, his annual coins were gone after he drew the lots yesterday. As a result, in just one night, not only did the annual coins come back, they doubled.

Of course, this was because he came into contact with and fought against many ghosts, and even successfully killed one, which made the harvest so astonishing.

But it's a pity that after coming into contact with so many ghosts, Lin Beixuan didn't gain any destiny or abilities. It was just the annual tribute, which inevitably made him a little disappointed.

"Two hundred year old coins can be used to wear a fate similar to the extremely evil quality twice, and upgrade the Blue Butterfly Colorful Cloud Step once."

Lin Beixuan was thinking about the future use of the annual coins. He now had a general understanding of the quality issues in the panel.

Among them, white is the lowest quality, followed by green, blue, purple, and gold, ranked from low to high.

Currently, only the extremely evil fate in the panel is of green quality, and all others are white.

Thinking of this, Lin Beixuan took out the nails of Jing Guitang and Fang Caiyi. After staring at them for a moment, a prompt came from the panel.

[Burial Vessel: Jinggui Hall (Purple)]

[Evil Essence: Fang Caiyi's Nails (White)]

"This Ghost Hall is indeed extraordinary, it is actually of purple quality!"

From pretending to have an extremely vicious fate to now, the help this fate has brought to him is obvious. It is something that can really change one's destiny. However, this is only of green quality. It can be imagined that the Ghost Hall with purple quality may have far more capabilities than what he used to shoot ghosts.

Lin Beixuan raised his eyebrows and carefully placed Jingguitang in his arms.

After checking the harvest, the next thing to do is to make soul-chasing incense.

Except for the evil spirit essence, which is relatively rare, the other ingredients of the soul-chasing incense are relatively common items. Now that he has the evil spirit essence, the rest are much simpler. These things can be found in the kitchen.

Calculating the time, the cook should have gotten up and was preparing breakfast for the house. Lin Beixuan went straight to the kitchen to get these things and started rubbing the incense sticks with his hands.

Following the instructions in the communication group post, a few simple and rough incense sticks soon appeared in front of Lin Beixuan.

These incense sticks are different from ordinary incense. They smell faintly fishy and are gray-black in color like mold. They feel sticky and look a bit disgusting.

Looking carefully, a prompt soon appeared on the panel.

[Inferior soul-chasing incense: The workmanship is crude, the appearance is ugly, and most of the evil essence has been lost, but it can still have a slight soul-chasing effect after being lit. ]

"..."

Very good, as long as it is useful, don't care too much about the appearance.

Lin Beixuan impatiently took out the fire starter, moved it in front of the crooked soul-chasing incense, lit it, and inserted it in a place where it would not be easily ignited.

As sparks lit up at the top, a faint black smoke rose and filled the entire woodshed.

As the smoke was inhaled into his nose, Lin Beixuan's vision began to slowly blur. A familiar shrine appeared in front of him, with a faint green candle flame burning quietly, without the white wax decreasing at all.

Suddenly, black smoke rolled up and blew towards the dim candlelight.

Not destroyed!

It was unknown how long the whole process lasted. When Lin Beixuan was about to become impatient, the candlelight finally went out.

A dizzy and drowsy feeling attacked his brain, Lin Beixuan closed his eyes and fell asleep on the bed.

　The performance of the new book is a bit bleak, and it may not even be able to be published. I would like to ask all book friends to collect and read it. Thank you very much!!!
