Secular world: My destiny has no taboos

Chapter 23: I am not a human?
"The second time...it's already the second time!"

"Which bastard attacked me from behind?"

Lin Beixuan found that as long as he wandered around in this village, he would be hit on the back of his head with a brick. This was the second time he was hit to death with a brick from behind.

Why do we say it is human?

Because at the moment he fell to the ground, he saw the straw sandals on the other person's feet and the strong smell of sweat.

The candlelight flickers, the familiar shrine, the familiar scene of death.

Lin Beixuan got up from the ground and shook his swollen head. He first checked whether the things he brought out were still there. When he saw that only the head of the wall-climbing ghost was missing, he breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that death is not completely without loss. If you are carrying something on your body, there is a chance that it will be dropped and your body will be touched by others.

This is commonly known as explosive equipment.

Any remaining items will be returned to the resurrected body.

"You can't die casually anymore!"

Lin Beixuan held the Jingguitang around his waist. It didn’t matter if other things were blown up, but if the Jingguitang was taken away by someone else, the loss would be too great.

Looking around, the sky was dark and the dawn had not yet arrived. After finding the fallen head of the climbing ghost nearby, the dilapidated temple not far away came into view again.

This time, Lin Beixuan was fully prepared and carefully approached the temple again.

After being resurrected, all his previous injuries were healed. Except for his body still being a little weak, his condition was much better than before.

At least I won't be easily ambushed and knocked down again.

Although he had only been in the secular world for a short time, Lin Beixuan had gradually become familiar with the way of survival in the secular world. Now that he had left the Ruan Mansion, he had to find a place to rest until dawn.

When he arrived at the temple gate, Lin Beixuan looked behind him twice, and after making sure that there was no one there, he pushed open the half-open door and walked in.

As soon as I entered, I saw a straw mat in the middle of the dilapidated and messy temple, on which was sleeping an old beggar with disheveled hair and tattered and smelly clothes.

When the beggar heard the sound, he half-raised his body from the ground and looked at Lin Beixuan with some surprise in his eyes.

Lin Beixuan frowned, slowly moved closer, his nose twitching, and he smelled the familiar smell of sweat.

He laughed, and without any usual questioning procedure, he directly picked up the Ghost Hall and threw it at the old beggar's head.

"You sneak attacked me twice in a row! I have no grudge against you, but you treated me like this. I will end your life early today."

As the old saying goes, three times the limit, but the old beggar had already touched Lin Beixuan's bottom line by slapping him to death twice in a row.

Jingguitang hit the old beggar on the head. Before the old beggar could dodge, Lin Beixuan hit him so hard that his skin was torn and blood flowed down his forehead.

After beating the other person up, Lin Bei's energy subsided a little. He gasped for breath and pointed at the old beggar lying on the ground with blood all over his head and asked.

"I'll give you a chance. Tell me why you want to attack me?"

The old beggar lay on the ground and squirmed for a long time. After a long time, he opened his cloudy eyes and looked at Lin Beixuan and stammered, "The village... the village does not allow evil spirits to enter."

"???"

"Look carefully, I am a human being!" Lin Beixuan felt angry again.

If you kill people for money, Lin Beixuan will just consider himself unlucky, after all, this is a business with no capital investment. But if you treat him as an evil spirit, he cannot tolerate that.

"You can't see the many evil spirits wandering around Huangshi Village at night. Does that mean I become an evil spirit just because I walk on the road?"

Lin Beixuan was so angry that he felt that the old beggar in front of him was probably a lunatic.

"You...you just...are."

The old beggar somehow mustered up some strength, opened his arms and was about to pounce on Lin Beixuan, but was kicked to the ground by him instead.

Lin Beixuan did not hold back when he kicked the old beggar in the stomach, making it impossible for him to get up.

But the old beggar didn't seem to give up. He put his hands together and muttered crazily.

"God of Earth bless me, guard the Yellow Stone, keep all evil away, and suppress evil with the sword..."

The old beggar was muttering strange words, and Lin Beixuan was surprised to find that he did not stutter while reciting them.

The old beggar finished reciting it quickly in one breath, and suddenly his fingers turned into swords and pointed towards Lin Beixuan.

"Go, go, go!"

"..."

However, nothing happened. The old beggar seemed to be a madman. He crawled to Lin Beixuan's feet with difficulty and poked Lin Beixuan's feet with his sword finger. Seeing this, Lin Beixuan couldn't help but feel absurd. He lost the interest in slapping the old beggar to death and retreated to sit on a dusty cushion beside him.

He stared at the old beggar, and the old beggar also stared at him. The two looked at each other for a long time. Lin Beixuan breathed a sigh of relief and could not help but ask.

"You said that no evil spirits are allowed to enter the village, but at night, there are evil spirits wandering everywhere outside."

"You say I'm an evil spirit, but I'm a living being with flesh and blood. I can communicate normally, and I once worked for the Ruan family."

"You use the Divine Sword, but where is the sword?"

Three questions in a row seemed to confuse the old beggar. He shook his head, his dirty and disheveled face full of confusion.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Beixuan stretched out his hand.

"Feel it and see if my body is warm."

The old beggar took Lin Beixuan's hand and touched it, and finally stretched his neck and sniffed his hand.

"The smell... yes, it's a human, but... you are an evil spirit!"

The old beggar stammered, unable to understand the reason. Then he lay on his back on the ground and suddenly burst into laughter, then curled up and rolled around on the ground.

The blood-stained head made him look even more miserable. His skinny body could occasionally be seen under his tattered clothes, with his ribs clearly visible.

Lin Beixuan watched quietly, perhaps attracted by the old beggar's strange words, and suddenly a bizarre idea came to his mind.

"Could it be that I am really evil?"

Lin Beixuan's pupils shrank slightly. You know, the original owner of this body had died a long time ago, and he was not a human in the mortal world in essence. It was just that his soul was attached to this body, which made him no different from a normal person.

And the most important thing is that he won't really die.

The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became. Lin Beixuan pulled himself back from his fantasy and looked at the old beggar again.

At this time, the other person was lying on the ground motionless. Lin Beixuan walked up to check and found that the other person was snoring and had fallen asleep.

He didn't hold back when he hit the man before, leaving him covered in blood. But now, it seemed that a scab had slowly formed on the old beggar's head.

"This isn't an ordinary person either!"

Lin Beixuan sat on the cushion with his back against the pillar. After a short rest, he looked at the sky outside.

After returning to the present world, he specifically looked up methods to tell time at night and found out that it was roughly the hour of Yin and it would not be long before dawn.

Thinking about what he was about to do, Lin Beixuan called the panel in his mind and spent 5 years coins to draw a lot for himself.

[Lottery: Dancing on the edge of a knife]

[Explanation: Your idea is very dangerous, and you may encounter unexpected events at any time, but the danger also brings sufficient rewards. ]

[If you are familiar with your surroundings, you may be able to increase your chances of survival. ]

"It's not good to get a good result!"

Lin Beixuan read the fortune carefully, hesitated for a while, and drew again.

[Winning the lottery: fortune and misfortune are interdependent]

【Explanation: When you are in danger, someone may just be able to help you. 】

[But whether it is a blessing or a curse depends on your luck. ]

After reading the two fortune slips, Lin Beixuan raised his eyebrows.

Being familiar with your surroundings can increase your survival rate, and if you're lucky, someone will help you.

The second winning number is not bad. I don’t know if it is affected by the +2 in fate, but the second number is obviously much luckier.

In this way, he will have confidence.

However, considering the hint in the interpretation of the first lot, Lin Beixuan felt that it would be a good idea to make more preparations.

Speaking of being familiar with the surrounding environment... I think this old beggar must be more familiar with it than me.

Lin Beixuan tilted his head to look at the old beggar who was sleeping soundly on the ground, a smile appearing on the corner of his mouth.

You've attacked me so many times, you should get some compensation!
