Secular world: My destiny has no taboos

Chapter 289 Chapter 288: Human Nature

"..."

To be honest, Lin Beixuan found it difficult to understand the Fox Spirit God's sudden transformation.

The two men were arguing with each other just now, but in the blink of an eye, a huge fox god appeared in front of them in a slightly lowered posture.

This made Lin Beixuan's prepared words stuck in his throat, unable to go up or down.

In the end, he could only cough twice to ease the embarrassment on his face.

"What do you mean, ancestor?" Lin Beixuan asked pretending to be ignorant.

The fox spirit god lowered his eyebrows, and his narrow eyes were shining with intelligence.

She stared at Lin Beixuan without blinking, her tone no longer as cold as before, but instead contained a faint smile.

"You want Luozhou, my Huxian lineage can help you."

Her words were brief, but gave people an unprecedented sense of firmness. It seemed as if these words had been waiting for a long time before finally coming out in a deep voice.

"Luozhou has been suffering for too long. If you can take back Luozhou, what's wrong with lower-level gods like me serving as your vanguard?"

The huge fox head was raised and its neck was stretched out. The sudden breeze blew her hair, revealing a bit of the majesty of a secular god.

As the first secular god to realize that something was wrong before the Luozhou land veins were cut off and the starving ghost incident occurred, the Fox Spirit God has a longer-term vision and perspective than other secular gods.

After the geomancer who passed down from previous dynasties concealed the secret of heaven, he notified the Huxian clan of Sheshan early on to withdraw and avoid the disaster.

During the outbreak of the starving ghost incident, tens of thousands of people were rescued and allowed to take refuge in Sheshan.

Lin Beixuan's appearance at this time was like a signal, a signal of counterattack.

Moreover, she saw much more in Lin Beixuan than in the God of Xun.

"The Seven Killing Fate has not appeared for decades!" The Fox Spirit God muttered to himself: "Last time, it was still that person..."

In her eyes, a tall and slender figure was slowly reflected. The bright red flag was like a burning flame in the darkness, pulling people back to the war decades ago.

In Lin Beixuan, she saw the same characteristics as both of them, but Lin Beixuan was more restrained, and the aura of disaster that he carried made these characteristics seem more complicated.

The Fox Spirit God did not participate in that war back then, so she still has some mixed emotions in her heart, some are grateful, some are regretful.

She had calculated that it was a dead end, so she retreated, but she didn't expect that more people and gods would rush forward without hesitation. Although she failed in the end, she still cut off the spine of this old dragon of the past dynasties.

'The dragon energy of past dynasties has dissipated, some lurking in the abyss, some hiding in the mountains, some roaming in the streets... I should have thought of the dragon turning into a dragon earlier.'

The fox spirit god had a lot of thoughts in his mind, and finally came back to reality, looking at Lin Beixuan quietly.

"So, since you want Luozhou, do you want to take over the whole world?"

Seeing the Fox Spirit God staring at him, Lin Beixuan became more nervous in his heart, but his face became calmer. He knew that this was a test from the other party.

"I want to rule the world, so what!"

The Fox Spirit God looked into Lin Beixuan's eyes, as if seeing through his heart, and replied with a smile.

"Haha, that's natural."

……

On the side, the God of Xun listened to the conversation between the two people in front of him and couldn't help but feel his scalp tingling.

Although she knew that Lin Beixuan intended to rebel, she never expected that a secular god she knew would also have such an intention. Now that this man and this god are together, they are really going to do something!

but……

It seems like a real rebellion would be nice too.

Now that Luozhou has become so rotten, the imperial court has not come to intervene. Moreover, the cause was caused by the geomancer sent by the imperial court, which has had a serious impact on the people and gods living in Luozhou.

As a result, when the imperial court realized that the problem could not be solved, it simply gave up the place.

Since Luozhou is a wasteland, there is nothing wrong with anyone who is interested living there.

If Lin Beixuan could get rid of the starving ghosts and successfully occupy Luozhou, it would benefit the remaining people and secular gods in Luozhou, and everyone would be grateful to him.

"This Luozhou must be in our hands, plus me!"

The God of Xun thought for a while, then slapped his thigh and stood up from the high chair excitedly.

Seeing that Lin Beixuan and Fox Spirit God were both looking at him, Xun Shen coughed twice, his face instantly turned into a solemn expression, and he spoke with his hands behind his back.

"However, the strength of just a few of us is not enough to fight against that Xuanhuang hungry ghost."

"I can go and persuade a few secular gods I know to solve this problem with us."

"Last time, we failed to reach an agreement and were defeated one by one by the Xuanhuang Hungry Ghost. Now we have suffered the consequences. I think no one would be unwilling to do so."

The God of Xun analyzed it very clearly.

The Fox Spirit God glanced at her and said in a dark tone, "I invited you to discuss this before, but you were all too proud and thought that the starving ghosts would not put any pressure on you. Have you figured it out now?"

"It's not that I figured it out. To use the words of the human race, it's called learning from every failure." The God of Xun retorted.

The Fox Spirit God was too lazy to pay attention to the Xun God and turned his gaze to Lin Beixuan.

"If you have made up your mind, we, the little gods, will definitely help you."

She really wanted to rescue Luozhou from the dire straits, because the roots of the Hu Xian lineage were in Luozhou, and what Lin Beixuan said before was right, even Sheshan could not bear the poison of human hearts, and now the contradiction between people and Hu Xian has begun to emerge and needs to be resolved as soon as possible.

And the best way is to let these tens of thousands of people return to Luozhou.

Lin Beixuan frowned and pondered for a moment. After getting over the previous tension, his heart had completely calmed down. He exhaled lightly, and his eyes fell on the God of Xun.

"Are you sure?"

The God of Xun didn't expect that Lin Beixuan would ask him first. After thinking carefully for a moment, he slowly spoke.

"There are a total of 19 lower-ranking gods in Luozhou. I don't know how many are still alive. I can persuade some of them, but I'm afraid I'll have to ask her to accompany me for the rest."

As he spoke, the God of Xun looked towards the God of Fox.

The Fox Spirit God smiled and said, "Of course, that's no problem, but you seem to have forgotten that there is another 'master' you want to invite?"

The "adult" mentioned by the Fox Spirit God at this time was obviously not referring to Lin Beixuan.

The God of Xun obviously knew this as well, and his forehead was wrinkled into the shape of the Chinese character "川".

"It... I think we should just forget it."

Lin Beixuan was curious after hearing the conversation between the two: "Who is it?"

"The great common god...Kangjin..." The Fox Spirit God was about to answer, but seemed to sense something and stopped talking halfway.

"Sorry, its name cannot be mentioned casually." The Fox Spirit God said with a hint of apology.

Lin Beixuan nodded to show that he didn't care, but he quickly thought about the gods related to "Kang Jin" in his mind, but found nothing.

Looking back, he also indirectly offended a great vulgar god.

After he completed the illustrated book of the gods and demons according to his birth date, he obtained the Man'ya Pot, which was ranked 200rd in the legendary weapon illustrated book. However, as soon as he got it, the panel prompted him that he had picked up the talisman of the great vulgar god - Pleiades God, and his favorability was reduced by , so he directly became his mortal enemy. It was even more unfair than Dou E.

However, it was a good thing that this great secular god did not take the initiative to look for him.

The God of Xun shook his head and said, "This person is so high up that we cannot afford to think about him. If he wants to, even if the Xuanhuang Hungry Ghost has become powerful now, it would not be too difficult to deal with him. It's just that he doesn't care about human affairs!"

"If we persuade all the secular gods of Luozhou, we can solve the current predicament with our strength." Shen Shen looked at Lin Beixuan and said, "We will persuade those secular gods, and the rest is up to you. If you want to take Luozhou, you can't just rely on the people you have now."

It had been accompanying Lin Beixuan for some time and knew that although the more than 200 people could be considered combat power, they were still inferior to a real army.

The Fox Spirit God also looked at Lin Beixuan and said, “You can make your own arrangements for the tens of thousands of people in Sheshan.

……

In addition, I mentioned before those who were unwilling to enter Sheshan. These people were once the border defense troops of Luozhou Prefecture, and perhaps they can be recruited for use. "

The two gods talked for a long time in the hall, until the cold moonlight leaked in through the window and the conversation ended.

Lin Beixuan opened the tightly closed door and walked out, immediately seeing Hu Miao waiting outside.

"Master Hu hasn't left yet?"

"Wait here, my lord."

Hu Miao smiled calmly, and his crimson robe looked particularly bright under the moonlight.

Her eyes moved, and she said softly: "The ancestor has sent a message to us foxes. We will follow his instructions in the future."

Lin Beixuan looked at Hu Miao in surprise.

Hu Miao smiled and explained: "In this Sheshan territory, whatever the ancestor thinks, we, the Huxian lineage, can know the current situation at any time. This is my Sheshan secret technique."

Lin Beixuan nodded in understanding, took a deep breath, looked up at the bright moon in the sky, and a long-lost tranquility surged in his heart.

"It's been a long time since I've seen such a bright moon in the secular world!"

I saw a full moon hanging high in the dark sky, emitting a soft and clear light, surrounded by twinkling stars, embellishing the night sky like a painting.

Lin Beixuan quietly gazed at the beautiful scene, recalling what happened in the hall, and suddenly asked.

"What does Priest Hu think of the tens of thousands of people in Sheshan?"

Hu Miao was stunned when she heard this, and her long eyelashes trembled slightly. She obviously didn't expect Lin Beixuan to suddenly ask this question.

She pondered for a moment, weighed the pros and cons, and replied, "Humans are still humans after all. Unlike foxes, their minds are more complicated and difficult to manage."

"If I say I want to push these people onto the battlefield, do you think that's right or wrong?"

"..."

"It is not up to Xiaohu to judge right from wrong, but they should ask themselves. If it is from my point of view, what the adults did was for Luozhou, they, as citizens of Luozhou, should do their part."

Lin Beixuan paused, stared at Hu Miao for a while, and suddenly laughed: "Master Hu is right."

Hu Miao lowered his head and the atmosphere became somewhat silent.

"It's getting late. I can take you to the guest room to rest."

"No, I want to look around again." Lin Beixuan shook his head: "If Priest Hu is tired, you can go and rest first."

Hu Miao smiled and said nothing, but just followed Lin Beixuan to show her attitude.

The Fox Spirit God had already told her part of the conversation in the hall. Although she found it hard to believe that Sheshan was now under the rule of Lin Beixuan, she thought about it for a long time outside and gradually accepted this reality.

The man in front of him only took half a day to convince his ancestor to give up Sheshan for an illusory future.

As a subordinate priestess of Ancestor Hu Xian, she had never denied her ancestor's vision. It was just that the information she received today was so shocking that she lost her original composure.

Normally, she would not have said so bluntly that tens of thousands of people would have to return to Luozhou to make a living.

Although she did think so in her heart.

After all, Sheshan is Hu Xian’s Sheshan, not anyone’s. Hu Xian can help people, but she also has her own bottom line.

In fact, the conflict between Hu Xian and others has already broken out on a small scale.

The breaking point was that the school in Sheshan only allowed the children of Huxian to enroll, but not people.

Sheshan is the foundation of the Huxian lineage, and the school is a place to train those foxes. How could it be possible to allow people to come and study?

It was just such a small matter, but it has already revealed the beginning of the conflict between people and Hu Xian.

"Take me to see the settlements of those humans you have taken in."

Lin Beixuan's sudden voice disrupted Hu Miao's mood. Hu Miao nodded, holding a red lantern in his hand, and walked slowly in front.

The footsteps of the two people echoed in the silent forest road, and soon they arrived in front of a group of low houses.

"It's already night time, and many people should have gone back to their houses to rest."

"It's okay. Some of the things people really think about will only be said at night when no one is around."

"Master Hu, please put out the lanterns."

Hu Miao did as he was told. He reached out and rubbed the flame burning in the lantern to extinguish it, then walked behind Lin Beixuan.

Both of them subconsciously lowered their footsteps to avoid making any sound.

Although it was already night, it was not too late. Many people had not gone to bed yet. They lit candles in the house and talked about their family matters.

Sure enough, as soon as the two of them walked to the door of a house, they heard a sound coming from inside. Although the sound was very small, Lin Beixuan and Hu Miao could hear it clearly with their hearing ability.

Lin Beixuan tilted his head to glance at Hu Miao and found that the other person's face was flushed and he looked a little restrained, as if it was the first time for him to eavesdrop on someone.

In fact, it was just as Lin Beixuan thought. The Huxian lineage attached great importance to etiquette under the discipline of the Fox Spirit God. Even though Sheshan was their territory, they never took the initiative to interfere in the private affairs of these people from beginning to end.

"Where did those people who came in today come from? Are they planning to take refuge in Sheshan?"

"Who knows? Maybe he just couldn't stand staying outside any longer."

"I don't know what Luozhou is like now. I miss home a little. Although the Fox God treats us well, he is not one of us after all. I don't feel comfortable here."

"It's good enough to be alive, put your thoughts aside quickly."

"Ugh……"

The conversation between a man and a woman in the house ended with the man's sigh.

Lin Beixuan glanced at Hu Miao and found that there was no expression on the other person's face.

The two continued walking forward and came to the eaves of a house.

"I sneaked into that school again today and saw that they were teaching the same basic knowledge of reading and writing. It was just like a private school. Why didn't they let our children study there together?"

"Do you think it's the same as before? Our money is useless here. We can't even buy food with it. We have to do hard labor to earn money. I have never worked on the land in my life. This time in Sheshan, I will suffer all the hardships I have never experienced before."

"We have to find a way to talk to those Huxians and get our children in. Or we can talk to Lu Xiucai and open a school ourselves. Otherwise, if this continues for generations, there will be no way we can get ahead."

"Now that you have opened a private school, are you going to help Mr. Lu with his work?"

"Hehe, we don't need to do that. I can persuade those civilians who have been digging for food in the fields all their lives. As long as their children can go to school, they will be happy to work from morning to night."

"That's great, let's do it!"

It was still a man and a woman, but what they were talking about was very different from the previous one.

Lin Beixuan looked at Hu Miao again, and the other party had frowned slightly.

　There will be another chapter later.
