Secular world: My destiny has no taboos

Chapter 218 217: New Clothes from Southeast Asia; Sewing Leather to the Body
Zhao Anshi returned to the village entrance dejectedly, but was shocked when he saw only two old secular princes guarding there.

"What's going on? Why are there only a few of you? Where are the others?"

An unclear man wearing a linen robe and a bamboo hat came forward, looked at him in a mess with his hands covering his chest, and frowned slightly.

"The people in that village didn't allow us to stay at the entrance of the village any longer, but you didn't come back, so Lao Mo and I had to arrange the rest of the people to go to the woods not far from the village, and leave the two of us here to wait for you."

"Cough, cough, I'm glad you're okay!" Zhao Anshi finally breathed a sigh of relief, but his chest injury was aggravated and he kept coughing.

"What happened?"

The man wearing a bamboo hat is named Li Ge, and he is the person in charge of this industry second only to Zhao Anshi.

He glanced at the marks on Zhao Anshi's mouth and asked with some concern: "I see that the villagers are all fierce and vicious when they come back this time. Their attitude is completely different from before. Did you do something to offend them?"

"..."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Anshi felt uncomfortable and lowered his head with an ugly look.

"I was implicated by an idiot and then got beaten up!"

Zhao Anshi then told Li Ge and Lao Mo what had happened.

They both frowned after hearing the whole story.

This was not just a matter of offending the other party, but it also created a powerful enemy for them.

"You deserve this beating!"

"So many lives in the village have been lost because of Yang Qi, all of them women and children. There is no way this matter can be saved. And you still want to stop it. You are even more stupid than that idiot." Li Ge said sarcastically in a bad tone.

"I'm not trying to stop you. I just want to try and see if there's a better solution."

Zhao Anshi wanted to refute, but his voice became smaller and smaller in the end.

When he thought about it now, he realized that he had done something stupid, but Yang Qi's identity was really special, and driven by desire in his heart, he wanted to give it a try.

But who would have thought that the village chief would not give any face at all and just kicked him directly.

Even if he had said a word to defend Yang Qi at that time, he might not have been able to come back.

"Alas, now we are completely enemies with them!"

Lao Mo was in a negative mood. He squatted aside, took out the tobacco he rolled from his cloth bag, and started smoking.

In the smoke, his face looked very old, with loose skin and many wrinkles.

However, only he himself knew that his actual age was only thirty years old.

There is no peace in this secular world, and these outsiders always think they are superior to others. They have died many times before, and only after a long time have they become slightly stable and no longer risk their lives where people can easily see and touch them.

Lao Mo leaned against a tree and sighed, "These newcomers are really a worry for me every moment!"

Li Ge nodded when he heard this, his tone somewhat unfriendly.

"After all, you have to experience it yourself to know how difficult it is. If we old guys take care of them, we will just spoil them."

"It should be fine if we leave now. If we take them into Luozhou, the mission will be accomplished. In the end, whether they live or die is up to them."

"I trained for so long in the real world, but I thought it was just a game. I deserved to die."

After he finished speaking, the three of them fell into a brief silence. Zhao Anshi patted his thigh, agreeing to the idea.

They only have a few chances left to resurrect, so they can't waste them here.

The three of them looked at each other and prepared to go back to the woods to call the newcomers to leave.

But just at this moment, there was a rustling sound in the bushes beside him, and a man and a woman walked out.

"Yu Changqing!"

When Zhao Anshi saw the person coming, his eyes immediately widened and anger seemed to burst out of his eyes.

"Where on earth have you been all this time? Look at who you brought out."

Yu Changqing waved his hands and replied helplessly: "He died once, maybe the meat hasn't been digested yet."

He had just been resurrected not long ago, so he was a little depressed.

Zhao Anshi was stunned when he heard this: "Dead? How did you die?"

Hearing this, Yu Changqing and Su Hongying's faces turned a little dark. It was difficult for them to say that he was betrayed and killed by that idiot you mentioned, so they had to change the subject.

"Something happened."

"I heard what you said just now. I know there is a way to bypass this village. I will let Hongying take you there."

"What about you? Are you still going to care about that idiot?"

Yu Changqing rubbed his eyebrows, with murderous eyes, and passed by Zhao Anshi.

"I don't care what that idiot does, I just want to see how he dies!"

"..."

Watching Yu Changqing walking into the village, Zhao Anshi was speechless for a moment and turned to look at Su Hongying.

"Your captain is dead."

"Why did Captain Zhao say that?" Su Hongying frowned when she heard that.

"Humph, he doesn't know how terrifying that person is. All of us combined may not be his match. Now the other party is in a rage. If we provoke him again, the consequences will be disastrous."

Zhao Anshi covered his chest with his hands, still feeling frightened.

Su Hongying glanced at Zhao Anshi's actions and seemed to understand something.

"Don't worry, Captain Yu really just wanted to see how Yang Qi died. He should be fine."

"Ok?"

This time, Zhao Anshi and the other two were stunned again.

To watch the members of their own team die? They really didn't understand this kind of train of thought, but seeing Su Hongying's serious look, it didn't seem like she was joking with them.

"No matter what, let's take our people and leave first. We are about to miss the time agreed with the vanguard."

………………

As soon as Yu Changqing walked into the village, he received many unfriendly looks. Not long after, a strong man with long legs came forward and blocked his way.

"Outsiders like you are not welcome here."

As the long-legged strong man appeared, more and more people gathered around.

There was endless murderous intent in everyone's eyes. Most of their wives and children had died at the claws of starving ghosts, and their impression of outsiders like Yu Changqing was extremely bad.

If it weren't for Lin Beixuan's restraint, even Zhao Anshi and others would be used as targets for their venting of anger. When they first arrived at a place to stay, they thought they could have a good rest, but they didn't expect that because of the arrival of some outsiders, many women and children in Qingyun Village would be sacrificed for nothing.

And the most important thing is that the starving ghost was deliberately lured here by someone.

In order to survive for himself, so many innocent people were sacrificed. Yang Qi's selfishness and evil thoughts made everyone in Qingyun Village seem to have returned to their unbearable past.

Considering the disasters that Qingyun Village has suffered in this period of time, there is a fire burning in everyone's heart.

They are not only targeting Yu Changqing and his group, but also the Evil Spirit of Jiang Min, the Zi Gu God of Changzhou, the imperial court that has never brought hope to people, and this chaotic and crazy world.

If ordinary people are deprived of their right to survive, without any constraints or concerns, they will destroy everything that stands in their way.

Looking at the pairs of gradually crazy eyes in front of him, Yu Changqing had an extremely complicated expression.

He understood that nowadays, whether it was the older generation or the new generation of secular people, most of them still did not regard the people in the secular world as real "people".

Even if we randomly pick someone and put him in Yang Qi's position at that time, there is a high probability that he would make the same choice as Yang Qi.

My life is so precious, so let you all die.

When people are no longer bound by sufficient costs and rules, the first thing to be exposed is not their goodness, but the evil buried deeper.

"sorry!"

Yu Changqing bowed deeply to the people in front of him.

He didn't want these people to forgive the sins committed by Yang Qi, but he was responsible for the current situation due to mismanagement.

However, his bow did not gain any sympathy from the people in Qingyun Village.

They are not qualified to forgive others on behalf of the dead.

Yu Changqing naturally knew this would happen. He slowly stood up and said, "I came here for no other purpose but to see how you punish him. No matter what Yang Qi does, this is what he deserves."

Having said that, a hint of murderous intent appeared in Yu Changqing's eyes.

"Let him in!"

An old figure appeared in the crowd. He was covered in a dog skin covered with sores and pus. He looked at Yu Changqing with turbid eyes.

When the people in Qingyun Village saw the newcomers, they all made way for them.

The Dog Skin Taoist slowly walked up to Yu Changqing, holding a bloody wild boar skin in his hand.

The skin was brought back by the hunting team. It was cut open from the chest and abdomen, and the rest was intact. The huge pig head was hanging on the ground and was being dragged by him.

"If you want to come and see, then let us show you what we will do to him."

After the Taoist Goupi finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards the center of the village. Seeing this, Yu Changqing lowered his head and slowly followed behind him.

It was obviously not a long distance, but the dog-skin Taoist walked for a long time.

From time to time he would look at the houses on both sides and see white flags hanging everywhere.

He seemed to be explaining to Yu Changqing, or talking to himself: "That's Tao Liang's family. Tao Liang died in the battle defending the village, leaving only his wife and children here. We spent a long time cleaning up the house yesterday, but unfortunately the two of them also followed Tao Liang today."

"That is……"

Taoist Goupi introduced in front, while Yu Changqing followed silently behind.

Death is a very common thing in the secular world, but at this moment, looking at the white banner made of simple coarse cloth hanging on the door beam in the empty house, Yu Changqing felt an indescribable heaviness in his heart.

The dog-skin Taoist walked and talked at the same time, but as he spoke, he suddenly laughed, his tone was a little high-pitched, but with an indescribable bitterness.

"It's better to go, it's better to go... to get rid of this suffering."

The two men finally arrived at the place. The execution ground in the center of the village was surrounded by a lot of people. When they saw the Dog Skin Taoist coming back, they immediately made way for him to enter.

Lin Beixuan sat on a chair, staring expressionlessly at a hot pot on the pile of firewood in front of him.

Next to the hot pot, there is a table filled with knives and sacrificial supplies. A ghostly and evil animal head statue stands in the middle. Long incense sticks are inserted in the incense burner, and wisps of smoke drift into the sky with the wind.

"I'm sorry I'm back late. It took me a long time to find a suitable pig skin."

The dog-skin Taoist came to the table used for sacrifice and smiled apologetically at Lin Beixuan.

Lin Beixuan glanced at Yu Changqing who was following behind the Taoist Goupi, frowned slightly, but did not say anything, just asked.

"can we start?"

The dog-skin Taoist nodded and placed the bloody pig skin on the table: "Everything is ready, we can start."

After saying that, he lowered his head and looked at Yang Qi who was tied up beside him.

At this time, Yang Qi's mouth was stuffed with a cloth, his pupils constricted, revealing an expression of fear and helplessness.

He struggled and tried to free himself from the restraints, but the ropes bound his hands and feet tightly, making him unable to move.

Then he saw Yu Changqing standing in front of the crowd and shook his body even more, trying to make a sound.

However, Yu Changqing looked at him, grinned, and sat cross-legged on the ground.

"I'm here to see how you die. Don't think I'll save you."

As soon as these words came out, there was only despair in Yang Qi's eyes.

In this case, no one will pity or sympathize with him. People always have to pay the price for their mistakes.

Everyone's eyes were focused on him. At this time, the Taoist Dog Skin was holding a scimitar in his hand and untied Yang Qi.

Yang Qi, who escaped from the trap, gasped for breath, but he did not feel happy about being reborn, because the next second, the dog-skin Taoist's skinny palm pressed on his head.

"Yesterday I saw you staring at my dog skin a lot. I guess you like it. I wanted to make one for you, but unfortunately there are no dogs in this village, so now I can only use this wild boar skin that I just got from hunting."

The Taoist Goupi spoke in a kind tone, as if he was looking at his little grandson who had returned home.

He touched Yang Qi's hair and exclaimed: "Looking at your hair, I know you must have been a rich young man, well-read."

"In this world, being able to read is a very remarkable thing. In the entire Qingyun Village, I am the only one who has studied with my master for several years."

The dog-skin Taoist seemed to be lost in some memories, with some unknown shadows reflected in his turbid eyes.

"As I read on, I discovered that the principles and righteousness in those books were actually used to restrain the suffering people."

"A book meant for people who can afford to read ends up making things difficult for the suffering people. And it turns out that those who suffer are the ones who obey the rules in the book the most. Isn't that ridiculous?"

The Dog Skin Taoist was laughing so hard that tears were about to fall from his eyes. He wiped his eyes, scooped a ladle of boiling hot water from the hot pot, and poured the hot water on Yang Qi in front of his extremely horrified gaze.

"If you want to sew this skin on, you must first tighten your flesh and blood into your skin. Only in this way can it fit perfectly. I stole this from those people in Nanyang."

"Don't be afraid, the process will be quick!"
