Secular world: My destiny has no taboos

Chapter 297 296: A person should be both civil and military!

"Woooo..."

A chilly wind blew out from the cracks in the void, as if a ghost was whispering in your ear, bringing a bone-chilling chill.

Everyone in Sheshan looked at the vast and desolate scene outside the gap, their faces had stiff expressions, and their eyes were filled with confusion and a hint of panic about the outside world.

Although two years is not a long time, it is enough to change many people and things.

Some people died, their bodies abandoned in the wilderness, accompanied by wild dogs; some people, although still alive, were no different from emotionless zombies.

When they looked at their land again, they found that everything had changed.

"Gentlemen, let's set off!"

The white gorgeous clothes fluttered in the howling wind. Hu Miao had a blank expression on her face, and the scene of Luozhou was reflected in her eyes.

Lin Beixuan turned his head and looked at the other person, and his faint voice was heard in the wind.

"Set off."

"Set off!!"

"Set off!!!"

After Lin Beixuan's voice, similar voices rang out one after another. They were the two hundred people who followed him at the beginning.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

A team of more than 10,000 people formed a black mass and slowly moved forward along the gap. Their footsteps sounded like thunder, shaking the earth.

Lin Beixuan's figure was at the front of the team, his back was firm and upright, like a mountain that people looked up to.

Hu Miao and the other Hu Xians around him looked at this scene, with complex expressions in their eyes.

"Sister Miaomiao, can he really take Luozhou back?"

Suddenly, a beautiful shadow, like smoke, quietly floated beside Hu Miao.

Hu Miao seemed to have known who was coming. He showed no surprise on his face and just said calmly.

"Maybe, maybe not."

"But since we in Sheshan have chosen him, even if it's impossible, we have no choice but to stick to it."

"Sister Miaomiao doesn't seem to have much confidence in my master?"

"It's not that I don't have confidence, but I have seen how powerful that Xuanhuang Hungry Ghost is. In front of that devastating method, no matter how many people there are, they are just ants!"

Hu Miao bowed his head and sighed: "The ancestor promised to support him, I wanted to persuade him."

"When rescuing this group of people, the ancestor was seriously injured. Even his physical body collapsed. Just like you, only his spirit body is left."

"It will take a long time for a secular god to rebuild his body. However, when that person comes this time, the ancestor will once again sacrifice the entire Sheshan Mountain. I don't know whether this choice is right or wrong!"

The shadow floating beside Hu Miao suddenly giggled, his eyes full of confidence.

"I have always been dissatisfied with the old ancestor's various decisions, but this time, I believe in the old ancestor's choice."

"..."

Hu Miao turned around and looked at Hu Mei beside him.

"Do you trust him so much?"

"Believe it!" The smile on Hu Mei's face faded and turned serious.

……

……

Gray clouds appeared, the moon was not visible in the sky, and the whole earth seemed to be immersed in a depressing atmosphere. The air was filled with dust and death.

"Finally back!"

Lin Beixuan stood on the desolate land, looking around, feeling mixed emotions.

After seeing the beautiful scenery of Sheshan, looking at Luozhou now is like going from heaven to hell, which is probably what it feels like.

Compared to him, the hearts of the people who returned to Luozhou after staying in Sheshan for two years were heavier.

"Was this place really my hometown?"

Zhang Luo couldn't control his body, looked confused, and slowly walked forward a few steps.

The scene of the land before them became more dilapidated than when they first entered Sheshan. Although the former Luozhou was not a place of beautiful scenery, it was full of scenic spots and historical sites, which attracted many great writers to write and leave behind articles.

However, all that is left is ruins and desolation.

Xing Liang's expression was equally ugly. He took a deep breath, and the cold air penetrated into his lungs. He could feel the evil energy rising from the ground everywhere.

He is an executioner and is most sensitive to this kind of evil spirit. He knows that if an area wants to become what it is now, countless people will die, and it can only be compared to a battlefield where two armies fight to the death.

He subconsciously clenched the sharp knife in his hand, his skinny body trembled slightly, and his mind recalled some bad things that had happened in the past.

Lin Beixuan didn’t know what the people behind him were thinking, nor did he want to know.

He brought these people out with only one purpose.

That is to take down Luozhou.

He first called Wu Huo to his side and said, "Tell them to find a safe place to set up camp and reorganize. It would be best if the terrain is protected from enemies on all sides."

Having experienced several battles with groups of starving ghosts, Wu Huo had already understood this principle. After receiving Lin Beixuan's order, he quickly organized a group of people to explore outside and find a place to set up camp.

"I hope nothing happens tonight. After all, these people are just scattered soldiers and will be defeated if we charge!" Lin Beixuan sighed.

In fact, it would be best to train this group of people in Sheshan for a period of time, so that even if they return to Luozhou, they will be able to fight against emergencies.

However, the conditions at Sheshan at the time did not allow this. 'After we find a place to camp, we will start the training.'

After waiting for a few minutes, Wu Huo came back with his men.

"General, I found a small county town. The city walls are still intact. It should be able to be used as a camping site."

"Have you explored the inside?"

"Not yet." Wu Huo answered honestly.

Lin Beixuan nodded and opened the door to the forbidden area. Teams of ghost soldiers in heavy armor walked out.

One hundred, five hundred, three thousand...

Countless ghost soldiers, emitting thick yin energy, gradually spread across the earth. Those who had just joined the team behind them widened their eyes with looks of horror.

"lead the way!"

"Let the ghost soldiers go in and sweep the place first, and we will temporarily station there."

To be on the safe side, Lin Beixuan finally revealed his trump card.

According to Wu Huo, it should be some distance from here to that small county town. If these tens of thousands of untrained troops were really allowed to walk there, they would probably become a feast for starving ghosts.

Having well-trained ghost soldiers guarding them can at least temporarily guarantee the safety of these people.

After all, it's not a game. The reality is that usually when the number of people increases, the overall strength becomes weaker.

Lin Beixuan rubbed his brows, mounted the Yin horse that Wang Chao had brought over, and rode in front.

In the team, Zhang Luo looked with some fear at the black-armored Yin soldiers who surrounded them not far away, and turned to Xing Liang beside him and asked.

"Old Xing, what on earth are those things? They shouldn't be human, right?"

Xing Liang looked at the ghost soldiers with a serious look and said in a deep voice: "They are not human beings, they are ghost soldiers!"

"Ghost soldiers!?"

Zhang Luo recalled the stories that the adults would tell him at night when he was a child, such as ghost soldiers passing through the border and abducting the souls of those who blocked their way.

"These ghost soldiers appear here? From the looks of them, they seem to be protecting us..."

"You're right, it's protecting us!"

Just then, a burly man suddenly appeared beside them.

"Captain!!" Zhang Luo immediately shouted respectfully when he saw the person coming.

Guan Shuo smiled and waved his hand: "No need to call me captain, we are all brothers."

Although Guan Shuo joined Lin Beixuan's team relatively late among the two hundred aliens, he had experienced many battles with everyone and now led a team of forty-eight people.

Since Lin Beixuan had not yet made specific divisions of military positions, at Wu Huo's suggestion, the military position system of previous dynasties was still used.

Five people form a squad, one of them is appointed as the squad leader, one person is selected from each of the ten people/two squads as the sergeant, and then the centurion/captain, thousand-man commander/captain...

So, Guan Shuo suddenly became the leader of a squad.

Because they were not quite used to it yet, Guan Shuo always asked everyone in his team to call each other brothers.

"Captain, what's going on with those ghost soldiers?" Xing Liang asked with a slight frown.

Guan Shuo grinned and replied: "You don't have to worry about those ghost soldiers. They are also under the command of our General Lin and will not harm us."

"General... he actually has the means to command the ghost soldiers!" Xing Liang raised his head in disbelief and looked at Lin Beixuan's back in front of him.

"Haha, the general is very capable, far beyond what we soldiers can imagine."

Guan Shuo couldn't help but recall the scene in the Kuhe Divine Furnace when Lin Beixuan transformed into a demon god over ten meters tall and chopped down the fantasy whale with one sword.

That posture is exactly what every man dreams of.

"In fact, I joined the team not much earlier than you did. At that time..."

Guan Shuo, Xing Liang and others talked about the scene when they were rescued from starving people by Lin Beixuan in Xiahe Village.

“It wasn’t until I got back on the ground and joined the general’s team that I really understood some things.”

"To simply escape and live in mediocrity will only put oneself in a greater desperate situation. Living in this world, we must fight, fight with others, fight with evil spirits, and fight with the world!"

Since joining the team, Guan Shuo has been indoctrinated with ideas by many people from Qingyun Village. At this moment, he has instilled these ideas into Zhang Luo, Xing Liang and others.

"In fact, your situation is similar to mine. Do you think you can really stay on Sheshan Mountain forever? Although those Huxians have never treated you unfairly, after all, humans and demons have different paths!"

Guan Shuo’s last words were like a sharp arrow piercing Zhang Luo’s heart, and he agreed with this point of view very much.

Xing Liang was silent for a moment, then said calmly: "But in many cases, humans are not much better than monsters!"

Guan Shuo glanced at Xing Liang meaningfully and said with a smile, "The general has already explained your question."

Xing Liang's eyes moved: "General...what do you mean?"

"The general said that everything in the world has its good and bad sides. If we encounter injustice, we can first reason with him. If reason doesn't work and the other party thinks we have a good temper, then we can use 'force' to convince him."

"If you don't like the literary kind, then try the martial kind. There will always be one that suits you."

"???"

"Won't that mean we will be sued?" Zhang Luo asked seriously.

Hearing this, Guan Shuo turned his head with a puzzled look on his face.

"The other party is not trying to reason with you, and you are still afraid of being sued?"
