Secular world: My destiny has no taboos

Chapter 268: Starving Ghosts - Ruined Village

After taking a quick look at the information and pictures on the Internet, Lin Beixuan couldn't help but have a big question mark in his mind.

'The earliest information in these posts can be traced back to a month ago. They are just out in the open. Don't the authorities try to cover it up?'

"What a free Ami! ! "

Lin Beixuan shook his head and sighed.

It was difficult for him to comment on the completely different approaches of Xuan Guo and Amei.

One is completely open, and the other blocks information in the early stages and then gradually reveals worldly information to the public.

Obviously Xuanguo did better in this regard.

But Lin Beixuan really admired Amei's completely laissez-faire attitude.

After browsing on his mobile phone until ten o'clock in the evening, Lin Beixuan was ready to go home.

Browsing the Internet for a few hours has allowed him to learn a lot about the current situation abroad, which can be summarized in one sentence.

——It’s getting more and more chaotic!

The intercourse between the secular world and the present world is not short-lived, but lasts for a long time, as if the two worlds are about to merge together, and the phenomenon of secular world transit will only become more and more frequent.

Among them, the secular children are equivalent to the link and buffer when the two worlds are about to merge. They not only help the present world stabilize the impact of evil spirits brought by the secular world, but also play the role of reducing the hostility of the secular world among the people in the present world.

"I haven't thought about this deeply in my daily life, but now that I think about it, I realize the importance of my identity."

'No wonder the authorities, though unhappy with the major powers, still allowed them to develop under their noses.'

'These forces can help the government to rein in those idle secular people who are unwilling to join the government. After all, not everyone likes to be a civil servant.'

"It is obviously better to manage several organizations than to manage a group of people."

"This is what is called using barbarians to control barbarians, indirect rule!"

In the dim night, Lin Beixuan's figure was slender, and the street lights on both sides of the street stretched his shadow, sometimes intersecting, sometimes independent.

……

……

In the independent ward with simple and elegant decoration, various newest and most advanced medical equipment are running, emitting slight vibrations and low humming sounds.

A middle-aged man stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window with a gloomy face, staring at the scenery outside the window, wondering what he was thinking.

After a long time, he spoke to break the silence in the ward, with a barely perceptible hint of fatigue in his voice.

"The people haven't been rescued yet!"

The person standing behind him was not a doctor, but a man who looked only in his teens, but with wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, which was completely different from his appearance.

The man's name is Zhou Suifeng, and he is the president of the Mingyue Tiandaoxiang Society, which is currently under the Luocheng Xiawu Luanjin.

Among the seven major halls in the world, the members are divided into a hall master, four incense masters, under the incense masters are the presidents of each city, and under the presidents are the members.

Internal members are divided into two types, one is secular children, and the other is worldly logistics personnel who understand secular information. They have a management system similar to that of a company, with monthly salaries and various benefits.

Of course, the leaders among them are all secular sons. After all, the secular world has not yet been completely integrated with the real world, and secular sons are the most scarce in every organization.

Zhou Suifeng sat on the sofa in the ward and glanced at Yang Qi, who was lying on the bed with various instruments on his body, with a flat tone.

"I'm afraid the people can't be rescued. Zuo Zhaoxian and others I sent have not returned yet."

"Not only that, as far as I know, no one from the other forces that accepted your bounty has returned."

"In the true sense, there is no coming back."

Zhou Suifeng's eyes were like a poisonous snake. After wandering around the ward, they finally fell on Yang Baichuan.

"Minister Yang, are you going to explain?"

Yang Baichuan's expression remained unchanged: "Explain? I offered a reward, but didn't force them to pick him up. They are unable to bring him back, so it becomes my problem?"

Zhou Suifeng smiled and shook his head: "You should know what I mean. The information about that village is very flawed. It can directly kill the secular children and give them no chance to revive. You didn't mention this in the reward."

"The death of a vice president of my Mingyuetian Daoxiang Society is nothing. We can just train another one. But the people in other halls and incense societies are not as easy to talk to as I am. After several deacons died, they will definitely hold you responsible."

A fierce look flashed in Yang Baichuan's eyes, and he sneered.

"Hehe, just let them come."

"It's been a long time since I cleaned up the incense associations under your halls. This time, how much dirty stuff is hidden inside..."

Although he only said half of the sentence, the threat in it was obvious.

"Shou Xiang is not so easy to get. They should have realized this long ago. I shouldn't need to remind them."

Zhou Suifeng seemed to have anticipated Yang Baichuan's attitude and shrugged indifferently.

"Minister Yang is right, but after what you did, no one in the circle dares to accept your reward anymore."

"The area of Qingzhou is already unstable, not to mention that the village is close to Luozhou. If the starving ghosts try to get out, it will be the first to bear the brunt."

"Perhaps the village will be destroyed without your intervention."

Zhou Suifeng stood up from the sofa.

"At the moment, it seems that sending ordinary summoning gods over would just lead to their deaths, and we don't want to waste manpower on this."

"The Zhoutian Grand Ceremony will be held soon. At that time, all of our sects and incense associations will select their elites to go to the capital. The affairs in the secular world will probably be put on hold for the time being. You should handle everything on your own from now on."

After saying this, Zhou Suifeng opened the door and walked out.

Silent night.

Outside the window, only the insects gradually waking up are chirping softly.

Yang Baichuan half-squinted his eyes, his tall figure half-hidden in the angle between light and darkness, appearing deep and gloomy.

"call……"

He took out the cigarette case, took out a cigarette and lit it. The reddish spark flickered.

He blew out a smoke ring skillfully, and it filled his face.

He turned around and looked at his son lying on the hospital bed, with a hint of tenderness in his eyes, but it soon turned into helplessness.

'What a waste!'

What I was thinking in my heart finally turned into a long, deep sigh.

"If summoning gods is not enough, then what about human immortals... After all, if they are alive, we must see them in person, and if they are dead, we must see their bodies."

……

……

worldly.

Naju.

The wind howled in the wilderness, sweeping up the dust all over the sky.

The few plants that had just emerged on the earth grew tenaciously in this harsh environment, spreading their leaves and trying their best to absorb the little sunlight scattered from the sky.

Unfortunately, this process did not last long. The sand and dust carried by the wind fell to the ground and buried it in the noisy darkness.

"Aunt, we should be there soon."

Liu Fei blocked the incoming sandstorm with one hand and turned her head to look at the old woman beside her.

The old woman was holding a compass in her hand, which kept spinning in the wind and sand, and she couldn't find the direction at all.

"According to the map, we should be almost there, but the Xuanji compass cannot point out the exact location."

Madam Bai sighed and looked up at the sky covered by gray clouds. "The secrets of Luozhou are obscured. All magic and divination are useless here. It is difficult to find the exact location of Polo Village."

"If we continue like this, I'm afraid we'll have a hard time holding on. The closer we get to the center of Luozhou, the tougher the hungry ghosts we'll encounter. If we run into that Xuanhuang hungry ghost again, we won't be able to escape from it."

Liu Fei frowned slightly, her red dress fluttering in the wind, like a red flower in the endless wilderness, bright and eye-catching.

She was shaking a bell in her hand, and when the bell rang, the yellow sand would automatically move away from them.

"I see."

"Wait a moment, I'll try one last method."

Mrs. Bai held her breath and concentrated, letting Liu Fei stand in front of her and sitting cross-legged on the spot.

"The mountains and seas are all in sight, the immortals and gods are pointing the way, the five elements are in essence, and the heaven and earth are calculated with yin and yang..."

As she spoke, the compass in Mrs. Bai's hand suddenly vibrated and gradually floated in front of her.

Mrs. Bai pointed with her wrinkled and aged fingers, and took out a dagger and slashed it across her wrist.

The blood fluttered in the wind and sand, flew away, and finally fell on the gem in the center of the compass.

The compass quickly absorbed the blood and began to emit a bright light.

"world!"

In the flashing light, Mrs. Bai's sleeves fluttered, and she slammed the compass hard with her bloody hand.

“Set up your seat!”

As she finished her words, the needle on the compass, which was spinning wildly, suddenly stopped and finally stopped at the Kun position.

"Found it. We must enter Polo Village before the compass is blinded again!"

When Liu Fei heard Mrs. Bai's words, she no longer hesitated and a bright red paper sedan appeared in the palm of her right hand.

The paper sedan swelled in the wind and quickly grew larger. The originally fragile paper strangely became hard and turned into vermilion solid wood. Eight illusory figures of people carrying the sedan slowly condensed into shape.

Liu Fei said anxiously, "Although the wedding sedan is fast, it is very easy to attract evil spirits. Let's go."

Mrs. Bai nodded when she heard this, and with the help of Liu Fei, the two of them got into the wedding sedan.

After the two of them sat down, eight bearers lifted the sedan chair and turned into a stream of light that shuttled through the wind and sand.

"Hiss..."

Suddenly, a series of creepy sounds were heard.

The ground seemed to come alive, with long, strip-shaped bumps rising and falling one after another, as if some living creature was stirring underground.

Soon after, gray-yellow snake heads emerged from the ground one after another, with greed flashing in their eyes. They were as excited as fish smelling blood, and chased in the direction the wedding sedan had left.

There were so many gray snakes that they densely covered the entire land. Looking down from a high vantage point, it looked like countless fine hairs weaving a terrifying pattern on the ground.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

The earth shook violently, and a strange big foot suddenly stepped on the ground.

This big foot looks the same as a normal one, but as you look up, it starts to become abnormal.

Above the thigh is no longer a human body, but a combination of countless strange things.

The body is like a mass of wriggling mud, filled with corpses of humans, animals and monsters, as well as mountains, forests, huge rocks, and more houses and buildings.

Some of those buildings were huge and continuous, like steel needles inserted into the mud.

Disaster, ominousness, pain, despair... countless negative emotions spread out from the giant's feet and penetrated into the earth beneath his feet. It seemed that every step it took would leave a pool of dirt on the earth, and the newly grown plants under the weak sunlight quickly turned yellow and withered.

Starving ghost-Xuan Huang.

It is like the monarch of the ghost town of Luozhou, in charge of the ownership of all life there.

If someone from Tianfu Palace appeared here, they would definitely be shocked and want to escape from here at all costs.

Because they will discover the "dragon energy" emanating from this strange and huge body of the starving ghost.

If a starving ghost consumes the dragon's energy, it will no longer be a species that ordinary people can describe.

It is as if it has jumped out of the Three Realms and is not within the Five Elements.

Although there is some exaggeration, it can also prove its strange uniqueness.

Inside the wedding sedan.

Liu Fei and Mrs. Bai also felt the tremor from the ground.

"It's coming!" Liu Fei's brows revealed a nervous expression: "I used up all my trump cards to escape from it last time. If I get caught up with it now, I'm afraid..."

"Hold on, we're almost there."

Mrs. Bai frowned, and her five hands tightly grasped the several sharp protrusions on the edge of the compass.

"As long as we enter Polo Village, we should be able to temporarily avoid its detection."

Liu Fei nodded and poured all his strength into the sedan.

The figures of the eight people carrying the sedan became more and more solid, and their speed increased again.

Suddenly, the compass needle in Mrs. Bai's palm began to shake again, but fortunately the frequency was not high and did not deviate from their direction.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

The sound was getting closer and closer, sounding like thunder behind the two of them.

Several calamity auras slowly floated over, the disaster permeated the ground and spread to the eight people carrying the sedan chair.

These sedan bearers were nothing but wedding sedan spirits. After being possessed by the evil spirit, they instantly disappeared as if they were burned by fire, turning into ashes.

"Get out of the sedan!"

Liu Fei and Madam Bai quickly jumped off the wedding sedan and ran forward.

Both of them were moving very fast, and an ordinary person would only see a shadow passing by.

But in front of the hundreds-meter-tall body of the Xuanhuang hungry ghost, it is just an ant that crawls a little faster and can catch up in a few steps.

The big feet crushed the wedding sedan, and just when it was about to catch up with Liu Fei and Madam Bai, Madam Bai shouted with surprise on her face.

"arrive!"

Mrs. Bai grabbed Liu Fei's hand and brought her to her side.

Liu Fei looked around in confusion, but all she saw was an empty wilderness without any sign of life.

The Xuanhuang hungry ghost was getting closer and closer, and his feet almost landed beside them.

But at this moment, Mrs. Bai pulled Liu Fei back two steps.

In an instant, the heaven and earth changed, and the world seemed to turn upside down, from yin to yang. When Liu Fei opened his eyes again, although the scene in front of him was still desolate, it was no longer filled with wind and sand, and there was already some greenery wherever he looked.

There was no sound of Xuanhuang Hungry Ghost's footsteps in my ears, nor could I feel the oppression he brought.

They seemed to be transported from one place to another in an instant.

"We are now..." Liu Fei couldn't help being shocked and spoke in astonishment.

Mrs. Bai let out a deep breath and looked around curiously.

"Boluo Village, the first place where starving ghosts were born."

"I remember its original name seemed to be - the ruined village!"
