Secular world: My destiny has no taboos

Chapter 181: Hundreds of Market Houses, Folk Customs and Art
The class in the auditorium lasted until the afternoon. Everyone listened very seriously, even Lin Beixuan was no exception.

The worldly information he had learned from the side was rather fragmentary, but this official lecture helped him to clear up all the vague clues.

In addition to Xiao Xianjun's narration about the origin of the secular world and the official's future deployment of the current secular princes, there are also many masters of the secular world who share what they have seen and heard about the ways they have learned after entering the secular world.

Show the true appearance of the world to everyone little by little.

Everyone in the market, no matter whether their profession is noble or humble, has their own way to survive in the secular world.

When he went to the place where the emperor ordered him to go, he received a salary from the court, wore brocade clothes, and enjoyed delicious food.

Down to the folk art, there are the Nuo opera, snake charmer, walking with knives on credit, and night watch.

Don't look down on any profession, because every profession has its wonderful aspects worth exploring. Even in the secular world full of evil spirits, as long as you can make good use of it, survival will not be a problem at all.

Among them, there was a master who worked as a night watchman in the secular world and attracted the attention of many people.

As we all know, the danger level at night in the secular world increases exponentially compared to during the day.

The night watchman happens to work at night.

Patrolling at night and reporting time, in the secular world, there is a lack of accurate means of telling time, and it is the night watchman's ringing that lets people know what to do and at what time according to the routine.

The weather is dry at the time of Xu, so be careful with fire.

Close doors and windows at the hour of Hai to prevent theft.

At three o'clock in the morning, everything was peaceful.

At four o'clock in the morning, the weather was freezing cold.

It’s the fifth watch at Yin time, take care of yourself.

At the same time, the sound of the night watchman can also drive away evil spirits, making them dare not stay in front of people's doors for a long time.

This profession is one of the jobs closest to evil spirits in the secular world, almost the same as the corpse retrievers on the river and the corpse sewers in the government office.

The latter two are often accompanied by corpses, while the former not only have to worry about some lost zombies wandering the streets, but also have to be wary of evil ghosts.

However, precisely because this line of work is dangerous, what people encounter on a daily basis is far more than most ordinary people, and their horizons and experiences are quite rich.

For example, there was a dung collector who picked up dung and resold it. When he talked about what he did, he didn't feel ashamed at all. Instead, he felt proud of picking up dung.

But don’t underestimate the simple job of picking up manure. It is actually a dangerous job.

What they encountered most often were not corpses, but malaria ghosts and feces-waiting ghosts attracted by feces.

Malaria ghost; it has no hair on its body, reddish skin, and looks like a combination of a human and a rat. It has a long tail behind it, and its body is covered with malarial pustules.

The excrement-sitting ghost; just as its name suggests, it does not find human feces smelly, but rather finds them fragrant and delicious. It often spies on the owner, and anyone whose feces it eats will invisibly become bound to the original owner, bringing bad luck to the owner.

The dung collector often encountered these two kinds of ghosts, so he developed his own unique methods of exorcising evil spirits.

There are hundreds of folk arts in the market.

No business is as simple as it seems.

Of course, the two official night watchmen and the dung collectors are very much welcoming the new batch of secular kids from the school to join their profession.

They say that there are fewer people in their line of work, the conditions and remuneration are generous, and they don't have to fight and kill every day like the people in Laoyinmen, and they don't have to worry about worldlyization affecting their health.

Although he said so, Lin Beixuan looked around the auditorium and it seemed that few people were interested.

More attention was focused on the beautiful woman in a gorgeous white dress.

There was a court order that the high priest be in charge of the annual 'Yin Yang Sheng', in charge of numerology, in charge of the shifts, predicting the central stars, and observing the Yin and Yang.

The profession of Yin-Yang Sheng is much better than the above two. It focuses on arithmetic, physiognomy, and requires high culture and education.

He had a job as a government official and wore silk and brocade in the secular world. In terms of face, he sounded much better than a night watchman or a dung collector.

This is also the profession that most students are jealous of after the other party introduces themselves.

After all, no one wants to go out and report their identity as a dung picker. It is somewhat embarrassing.

But Lin Beixuan had no interest in the profession of Yin Yang Sheng.

Compared to this line of work, he prefers more down-to-earth ones.

Moreover, Yin and Yang are paid by the government for their living and watch the stars every day. They probably won't encounter any danger. The gap in their original strength levels is too big. The strong ones can conceal the secrets of heaven and change their fate, while the weak ones are trapped in the countless stars and cannot get out. They don't know any way to save their lives. They are no match for the people below who risk their lives to survive, so it is easy for them to develop a arrogant character.

But anyway, every profession has its own way, and he will not belittle any particular profession because of this.

What surprised him was that Cheng Hao, who seemed to be interested in the art of Yin and Yang, actually curled his lips and looked disdainful.

"Don't you usually like high-end and classy things? Are you not satisfied with the High Priest Sui and his entourage?" Lin Beixuan asked in surprise.

Cheng Hao snorted disdainfully: "The word 'vulgar' is the key to the word 'vulgar'. This line is too elegant!"

"Besides, if you can't reach a high level in this line of work, how can you protect yourself? Can you even wave your hand and call down a meteor?"

"..."

"You see things very clearly." Lin Beixuan couldn't help but say.

After the course, Lin Beixuan took Cheng Hao back to his shop.

When Cheng Hao saw his newly renovated store, he couldn't help but jump up in surprise, touching here and looking there.

"My God, how much does this cost you?"

Although he didn't understand the ins and outs of the antique business, it didn't stop him from knowing how to write the word "expensive".

Lin Beixuan shrugged and told him about his partnership with Liu Fei to open a shop.

After listening to it, Cheng Hao smacked his lips and gave a thumbs up.

After looking around, Cheng Hao chose a thumb-sized jade pendant with a jade snake carved on it, which happened to be the same as his zodiac sign.

After paying the deposit, she tied the red rope and left happily.

The material of this jade was not particularly good, and Lin Beixuan had no intention of making money from Cheng Hao, so he sold it to him at cost price, which was almost twenty-five thousand yuan. He first took a deposit of two thousand yuan from Cheng Hao and let him take the jade and leave. He would pay the rest after asking his father for the money.

"I'm afraid there won't be much business today!"

It was getting dark. Lin Beixuan sat behind the counter, browsing on his phone. Seeing that there was hardly anyone passing by, he decided to close the shop and return to the secular world.

But at this moment, a woman wearing casual clothes but with long antique hair walked in.

The woman took a look at the decoration inside the store, then her eyes fell on Lin Beixuan.

"Are you the owner of this store?"

Seeing that it was a rare visitor, Lin Beixuan greeted him with a smile.

"I'm the owner of this store, what do you need, beautiful lady?"

The woman raised her eyebrows when she heard the word beauty, and a smile inadvertently appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"I'm a little short of money, and I happen to have something in my hand. I wonder if you would like to take it?"

Lin Beixuan thought for a moment and said, "Take it, but I need to see what it is."

The woman nodded, took out a dark round bead from her arms and handed it to Lin Beixuan.

Lin Beixuan reached out to take it, and his fingers accidentally touched the woman's palm, and a panel prompt immediately sounded in his mind.

[You encounter a special target: the mine-pushing priest - A Xiang. ]

[The Human Immortal Atlas is unlocked, and the information of the Thunder Priest is partially unlocked. 】
