Secular world: My destiny has no taboos

Chapter 281: The Dao of the Taoist Master, Zhou Tian Da Jiao
There is no doubt that this matter is very important, and Lin Beixuan almost immediately picked up the phone and pressed the answer button.

"Hey Hey hey……"

The voice on the other end of the phone was very clear and had a hint of charm, but it sounded as if the person was not very familiar with making and receiving calls on the phone, causing the other party to say "hello" twice from time to time, worried that the other party could not hear him.

"I'm here."

Lin Beixuan coughed twice and replied somewhat awkwardly.

"Oh! You can hear me clearly over there, right? The technology of the people in your world is quite amazing. It is even more useful than the jade slips used by the secular gods to transmit sound."

The woman on the other end of the phone sounded a little curious, and it was obvious that she didn't often use the cell phone call function.

"Ah Xiang, I agreed to what you said the other day. Let's meet and discuss the details."

"Oh, you finally remembered this matter. You said you would give me the news in the afternoon, but you made me wait for two days."

"I'm sorry, I've been busy with a lot of worldly things recently and I can't spare the time!" Lin Beixuan said sincerely.

"Forget it, since you agreed to help me, I can forget about these little things."

Although Ah Xiang was stood up by Lin Beixuan for two days, she did not make things difficult for him.

"I'll come to your store this afternoon, and we'll talk in detail then."

"Bye-Bye!"

Beep...the other party hung up.

Lin Beixuan slowly breathed a sigh of relief and checked the messages he had received on his phone during this period. He found that apart from two messages from Cheng Hao and Huang Shifu, no one else had contacted him.

Cheng Hao: Lao Lin, let me tell you that I have now officially joined the Xuanzhou Night Watchmen Organization. Teacher Xu took me to meet the leader of the Xuanzhou Prefecture.

guess what?

This night watchman may seem like just a night watchman, but in fact he is very powerful. At night, those patrolling yamen runners have to stay away when they see him.

Moreover, in our line of work, we do not worship those strange gods, but the gods who are officially registered in the imperial court - the Four Guardians.

This is definitely authentic official meal!
I was on night watch with Teacher Xu last night, and he showed me some of his skills. Wow... you know what, it was much more stylish than when I went to learn how to pick up shit from that bastard named Zhu.

Now I have officially learned the skills of a night watchman and have a proper master. When are you free, let's have a meal together.

The message ends here.

Lin Beixuan's lips curled up into a smile, and he was truly happy for his friend.

Compared with most of the Wuchang and those who joined the other seven halls, the official did indeed do very well in many aspects. He discovered this when Los Angeles became a pilot university.

All the secular people who had experienced the secular transition at the University of Los Angeles last time have basically embarked on a relatively good path under the official guidance, saving a lot of the strangeness and fear when they first entered the secular world, and also reducing the number of deaths caused by various reasons in the early stage.

This is something that other organizations and individuals cannot satisfy.

Take him as an example, if he didn't have the panel, he would have died countless times along the way, and he wouldn't have the rapidly improving strength he has now.

However, every advantage has its disadvantages. These people must join the official organization in the future and be subject to official restrictions. If there are tasks, they must obey the arrangements.

This is actually similar in several other organizations. If you don't want to gain convenience in the early stages, you have to learn from those impermanences.

If you can easily get through the novice period in the early stage, when you have the strength in the future, you can also trade with other organizations without any constraints and with much more freedom.

In general, it's your own choice.

Picking up the phone and replying to Cheng Hao's message, Lin Beixuan then looked through the message sent by Huang Shifu.

Huang Shifu: Store manager, your new merchandise is very popular with students in our school. It sells much better than our previous antiques. Even teachers from several schools have placed orders.

Just yesterday when you were not at home, the authorities suddenly came to check and ordered us not to buy or sell controlled knives near the school. They also forcibly removed the swords you had put on the shelves.

Also, they said to contact them when you have time, they have something to talk to you about.

The news ended here, and Lin Beixuan raised his eyebrows.

He didn't expect that the official would remove the worldly weapons he traded from Zhuge Qing, but this seemed reasonable.

Nowadays, worldly events are very popular. As one of the nine pilot cities in the country, and the University of Los Angeles as a key demonstration university, all parties' attention is focused here.

Nowadays, college students are at an impulsive age, and conflicts are inevitable due to some friction.

At this time, his shop openly sold worldly weapons, which was no different from shitting on someone's head.

Come to think of it, he was indeed inconsiderate.

"I understand. I will contact the authorities to handle this matter later," Lin Beixuan replied.

Not long after, Huang Shifu sent a message.

"Well, there's one more thing."

"what's up?"

"Yesterday, a very pretty sister came to the store to find you and discussed important matters with you. She seemed very anxious... Is she your girlfriend?"

"No." Lin Beixuan frowned and thought for a moment, recalling the Yin Lei Pearl that Ah Xiang had sold to him before. He typed back, "She is our important customer!"

"I understand."

On the other side, Huang Shifu, who was holding a mobile phone at the table, patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, Miao Qingqing wiped her wet hair and passed by her bestie. Seeing her frightened expression, she couldn't help but ask curiously, "Shi Fu, what happened?"

Huang Shifu quickly covered his phone with his hands and shook his head vigorously.

"fine?"

However, her suddenly blushing face made Miao Qingqing even more confused. She muttered as she passed by Huang Shifu: "I've never seen her like this before. Could it be that she's in a relationship and didn't tell me?"

……

Lin Beixuan washed up at home, put on his clothes and went out.

Last time he promised the Five Rats that he would buy them a mobile phone, but it has been delayed for two days. A few guys have started to feel dissatisfied and they didn't even prepare breakfast for him this morning.

It was exactly ten o'clock in the morning when he went out, and most of the major mobile phone stores were open at this time.

Lin Beixuan picked a relatively economical mobile phone store, selected five mobile phones with the same fur as the Five Rats, and then applied for five phone cards. He left the store amid the surprised gazes of the sales clerks.

"You all saw it. The cell phone has been bought. Don't whisper about me behind my back anymore." Lin Beixuan was walking on the street. He seemed to be talking to himself, but he was actually talking to the Five Rats in his clothes.

The blessing mouse poked its head out slightly and said righteously: "Master, how can you slander us brothers like this? Our loyalty to you is known by heaven and earth. We will go wherever you tell us to go. How could we slander you behind your back?"

"Mmmmmmm..."

After the Blessing Rat finished speaking, four voices appeared in his pocket and echoed him.

Lin Beixuan's mouth twitched when he heard this.

When he woke up today and hadn't opened his eyes yet, he could clearly hear these things lying on the windowsill and muttering, saying that the master was not trustworthy and disappointed the mice, and that they were loyal but had met a master who did not keep his word.

He strongly suspected that the Five Rats knew that he was about to wake up, so they said this on purpose.

"Got it, put your head back, you will get benefits from following me in the future!"

Listening to the excited conversation of the Five Rats beside him, Lin Beixuan pushed the Praying Rat's head back in annoyance and walked into the campus with his hands hanging down.

The pressure was enormous when he was in the secular world, but once he returned to the real world, the pressure seemed to have inexplicably dissipated a lot, making Lin Beixuan feel happy for a rare time.

Walking on the school's tree-lined path, I turned my head to look at the almost bald crowns of the willow trees beside the path, and couldn't help but chuckle.

'It seems that many students know how to be frugal.'

Washing the body with willow branches and realgar can temporarily cover up the worldly atmosphere. This is what he had learned in the two-world communication group. Apparently, many students in the school are now following suit.

Instead of going to class, Lin Beixuan went directly to his antique shop. At this time, Huang Shifu was already sitting in front of the counter, introducing him to two customers who had entered the store.

However, since she could not speak, she prepared a tablet herself, took photos of the items in the store and updated the information at any time. She then input the item information that Lin Beixuan had instructed her to create a simple and elegant display page, which solved her own problem very well.

Lin Beixuan had seen the display page she made before and gave it high praise, saying that she was indeed a top student in the School of Design.

Actually, looking back now, when this store was still a convenience store, it only sold retail products and there was no need to introduce things to customers or bargain or anything like that, so there was no requirement to be able to speak.

It was not until after the secular transit incident that his shop was changed into an antique shop, which involved certain standards for sales clerks, at least they had to be able to speak.

However, Lin Beixuan thought about it and finally decided to let Huang Shifu stay. The result was somewhat unexpected. The problem of being unable to communicate with the guests did not arise as he had imagined. Most people appreciated Huang Shifu's service attitude.

Lin Beixuan stood by and waited until the two customers left before stepping forward.

Huang Shifu had already noticed Lin Beixuan coming in. With a smile on his face, he showed Lin Beixuan the revenue from the first half hour of opening the store.

In just half an hour, including the two customers just now, she sold three things that Lin Beixuan brought back from the secular world.

"Well done. I'll double your bonus this month!" Lin Beixuan took the bill, looked at it, and praised with a smile.

Huang Shifu blushed instantly when she heard this. She shook her head shyly, saying that it was not her credit, and wrote on the tablet.

"It's mainly because a lot of people like the things you put on the shelf. Even the lady at the breakfast shop opposite bought a jade pendant."

"she……?"

Lin Beixuan looked across the street through the window with a little surprise, and saw Liu Lanhua sitting on a recliner with her legs crossed, holding the jade pendant in her hand and looking at it in the sunlight.

As if she noticed someone was watching her, she turned around, smiled at Lin Beixuan, and raised the jade pendant in her hand.

Lin Beixuan smiled back and looked away, but doubts arose in his heart.

From the time they had met, it was clear that Liu Lanhua was a senior secular person who had been influenced by the secular world. The things he displayed in the store were not very good. Most of them were things he had no use for and things that Zhuge Qing had traded to him last time.

With Liu Lanhua's strength, she should not care about these things.

Thinking about this, Lin Beixuan talked with Huang Shifu and then came to Liu Lanhua's stall.

"Sister Liu, do you have any more buns?"

Liu Lanhua glanced at Lin Beixuan and replied with a smile: "Of course there is. Is it still the same as before?"

"Well, the old way."

Lin Beixuan looked around and found that the stationery store next to Liu Lanhua's shop was closed.

"Why isn't Uncle Zhou open today?"

This street is full of forces from all sides, and most people are just pretending. On the contrary, the shops next to Lin Beixuan and opposite Liu Lanhua are truly doing business like ordinary people.

Among them, the stationery store opened by Zhou Mingsheng and the shop opened by Liu Lanhua are the first to open every day.

Liu Lanhua followed Lin Beixuan's gaze and glanced to the side.

"He has been closed since yesterday. I heard that he went to the capital to help the people in the hall prepare for the Zhoutian Grand Ceremony."

Everyone on this street basically knew each other's background, so Liu Lanhua didn't hide anything when she spoke.

In the eyes of others, the Liu family is the one behind Lin Beixuan's antique shop.

"Zhou Tian Da Jiao?" Lin Beixuan raised his eyebrows.

"What? You don't know about this?"

Liu Lanhua looked at the expression on Lin Beixuan's face and was surprised: "Didn't the manager in your hall tell you?"

Lin Beixuan smiled and shook his head: "I have told you many times that I am not from the Liu family. Opening this antique shop is just a partnership."

Liu Lanhua glanced at Lin Beixuan suspiciously, and seeing that he did not seem to be pretending, a hint of disbelief flashed in her eyes, and then she grinned and answered.

"The Zhoutian Grand Ceremony is actually not a secret. It is an exchange competition held by the government to promote national development and deal with the dirty things between several halls."

"There are seven gangs in our country. Although each gang has its own flag, the market is limited. Now there is a war abroad and the economy is in a severe downturn. It is inevitable that we need to expand some other businesses, which will easily affect the interests of the gangs."

"So in order to avoid internal strife among us, the authorities hold a Zhou Tian Da Jiao ceremony at Longhu Mountain every year to indirectly deal with the problems among the seven halls."

"Longhu Mountain... Since it is a matter of the sect, why does it involve Taoism?" Lin Beixuan was a little confused about this aspect.

In fact, even now, he has had very little contact with various forces, let alone special activities like the Zhoutian Dajiao.

"Oh, do you think those idiots are clean? They are involved in a lot of market businesses in China."

"For example, the Daomi mobile phone you are using, and some commercial buildings you see passing by, all of these are owned by the Taoist lineage."

"..."

Lin Beixuan couldn't help but twitch his lips when he heard that. He picked up the phone, glanced at the ancient logo on the back of the phone, and looked a little disheveled.
