Secular world: My destiny has no taboos

Chapter 21: Breathing Technique
What is obsession? In the folk legends of Xuan Country, ghosts stay in the human world because of obsession. If the obsession is too strong, they will turn into vicious evil ghosts and demand the lives of the living.

"Madam Li!"

Lin Beixuan had heard this name from Climbing Walls. Madam Li was once a concubine captured by the Third Young Master. However, she was beaten to death just after she became pregnant. No one even knew where her body was buried. Since then, she has turned into an evil ghost. Anyone in the Ruan family's house will be targeted by her and killed one by one.

Mrs. Ruan invited the Taoist priest from Senluo Temple, probably to eliminate this evil ghost.

As the night wind blew, the crying sound gradually became clearer and closer, until finally, it seemed to be ringing right above Lin Beixuan's head.

In the yard, a cold and icy air filled the air, like thin snakes constantly drilling into the cuffs of clothes.

Lin Beixuan slowly raised his head, his face was painted red, covering up a lot of his original appearance.

In front of him, there was a woman standing there quietly. She was wearing a plain dress, half of her face was hidden under her long black hair, her eyes without pupils were staring forward, tears of blood were flowing from the corners of her eyes.

"Woooo..."

The woman's voice was low and she was choked to the extreme, unable to even make a clear cry.

But the moment she looked at Lin Beixuan, a bone-chilling chill spread from Lin Beixuan's toes all the way to the top of his head.

In a trance, Lin Beixuan seemed to see the familiar shrine standing at his feet again.

"call……"

Wisps of white mist came out of his mouth, and Lin Beixuan looked at Madam Li without fear. However, when he saw the rise and fall of her belly, his eyes froze.

Madam Li's belly was bulging, and it was obvious that she was already nine months pregnant. However, the other person was a little younger than him. In modern times, she might only be in junior high school.

However, this girl, who was still just a child, was forcibly captured by the third young master of the Ruan family and became a concubine. She was beaten to death just after she became pregnant.

It’s no wonder that the other party has such strong resentment and obsession. If it were anyone else, I’m afraid they wouldn’t be much better.

The Ruan family is a noble and powerful family on the surface, but it is dirty and smelly inside. The lady of the Ruan family keeps calling Madam Li a bitch. Perhaps in the eyes of these wealthy families, the lives of common people are not even as good as those of pigs and dogs.

Madam Li slowly approached, hugged Lin Beixuan's head with her cold hands, and cried and made "baby talk" sounds.

She couldn't speak human language, but Lin Beixuan could hear her emotions from her voice.

It is sadness, questioning, and resentment that will never be resolved.

[You encounter a special target: Ghost Mother - Lady Li. ]

[The ghost illustration is opened, and the ghost mother's information is successfully unlocked. 】

[You come into contact with and fight against the Ghost Mother - Lady Li, and successfully copy her ability: Breath Eating Technique (Incomplete)]

【Ability: Breath-Eating Technique (Incomplete) (Blue).】

[Introduction: There are two kinds of qi in heaven and earth. Those who consume pure qi will ascend to heaven, while those who consume turbid qi will enter the underworld. This article is incomplete and only records some of the methods of consuming turbid qi...]

A strong yin energy penetrated into Lin Beixuan's head. He found that the hand holding his head was slowly exerting force, and the sharp nails pierced into the flesh, and blood dripped down his forehead.

Lin Beixuan felt that his life was slipping away quickly. He wanted to struggle, but his hands and feet were tied up, leaving him no room for resistance.

The panel in his mind prompted him that he had obtained Madam Li's ability, but this ability was not like the skill that had previously burst out from Fang Caiyi. Instead, it was some kind of method of cultivation.

But it's useless to give him the practice method now! And it doesn't add points. It seems that he needs to increase his own points by eating air.

Therefore, all hopes can only be placed on the luck +2 that comes with the effect of the greedy fate.

The reason why he changed his extremely evil fate was because he was attracted by the attribute of luck +2.

It is impossible to avoid this crisis by relying on a little bit of strength and Breaking Evil. The added strength is not even enough to break free from the rope behind, not to mention that Breaking Evil requires a knife to be effective.

Lin Beixuan wanted to live. Even if he could be resurrected, he didn't want to be used by others to die.

Just wait and see. Even if Madam Li can't do anything to the Ruan family, he will still make the Ruan family restless in the future. The pain continued to stimulate the brain, and in the corner of his eyes, the shadow of the shrine became more and more solid.

Just when Lin Beixuan's vision went dark and he was about to give up, Madam Li's hand that was digging into his head suddenly loosened and a look of pain appeared on her face.

"what……"

Madam Li slapped Lin Beixuan to the ground, then suddenly stood up like crazy, holding her stomach and about to leave.

But at this moment, Taoist Akagi rushed out from the backyard, holding a magic sword in his hand, muttering something, and a ray of golden light suddenly shot out from the sword.

The sword light hit Madam Li's body, and immediately pushed her back several steps. Then the two disciples of Taoist Akagi made red nets on the left and right, with bells ringing on them, and covered Madam Li.

However, Madam Li reacted quickly and dodged the attack quickly. In an instant, the ghostly figure appeared behind one of the disciples.

She realized that Akagi Taoist was not an ordinary person, so she attacked his two disciples first.

Her nails were extremely sharp, and her hands were covered in blood because they had pierced Lin Beixuan's head before, which made her look even more terrifying. At this moment, she attacked and pierced the disciple's heart without mercy.

When Taoist Akagi saw this scene, instead of showing any anger on his face, he sneered.

"Good, there's one less person to share the money."

Lin Beixuan was slapped by Madam Li, and all the bones in his body seemed to be broken. He fell to the ground along with the chair behind him.

The intense pain cleared up Lin Beixuan's originally blurred consciousness. When he saw Taoist Akagi and Madam Li fighting, a glimmer of hope arose in his heart.

He's not dead!
Lin Beixuan had clearly felt that he was about to see the shrine, but it was Madam Li's sudden change that saved his life.

Could it be that Madam Li has figured out that I am not the Third Young Master?

No, even if I am not the third young master, this body was still a servant of the Ruan family when I was alive. I am a member of the Ruan family. Even if they can see that I am not the third young master, they will never let me go.

Thinking of this, Lin Beixuan looked at Madam Li's bulging belly and his eyes narrowed slightly.

After nine months of pregnancy, the baby should be born soon.

Can ghosts give birth to children? If so, is the child human or a ghost?

A strange thought arose in Lin Beixuan's heart. Madam Li was beaten to death when she was pregnant, but the Madam Li in front of him was pregnant with a big belly, as if even if she died, the baby in her belly was still growing.

"Isn't this against common sense?"

"Crackling..."

At this moment, a burst of thunder and lightning attracted Lin Beixuan's attention.

Taoist Akagi held a yellow talisman between his fingers and threw it towards Madam Li. The talisman exploded instantly when it touched the Yin energy and turned into a powerful lightning that covered Madam Li.

Thunder and lightning are naturally the nemesis of evil spirits such as ghosts and monsters. Madam Li is no exception. After being struck by lightning, she immediately let out a shrill scream, and even her body became a little illusory.

After the battle between the two, Akagi Taoist clearly had the upper hand.

Lin Beixuan frowned. No matter who won, it would be of no benefit to him. He had previously ridiculed Akagi Taoist, and with the other party's character, it was impossible for him to survive, not to mention if Madam Li won.

No matter who wins, he is doomed.

"We have to escape."

Lin Beixuan was lying on the ground. Although the slap from Madam Li just now caused him great harm, it also destroyed the chair tied behind him, making it easy for him to break free.

At this moment, the man and the ghost were fighting fiercely, and it was a good opportunity for him to escape.
