Secular world: My destiny has no taboos

Chapter 311 310: Xi Xuan: I am the protagonist

Seal the spirit and destroy the formation.

Among the abilities that Lin Beixuan has mastered, this ability is not the most destructive, nor can it benefit oneself, and it cannot even pose a threat to others.

It is not a single-target skill, nor an amplification skill, but an extremely rare field skill that targets ghosts and evil spirits.

Once the formation is deployed and the opponent is delayed for a period of time, the formation will continue to reduce the opponent's strength.

Because of its forbidden zone characteristics, it also has the ability to suppress ghosts and evil spirits.

Not only could it withstand damage and protect the Tianmen Mansion from intrusion, it could also deploy formations to weaken the enemy's strength. Lin Beixuan had to admit that this Soul-Sealing and Destroying Formation came at the perfect time.

He was worrying about how to restrain the Nine-Headed Hungry Minion. With this formation, he should have a better chance of winning when facing the Nine-Headed Hungry Minion again.

Just then, a voice suddenly came from outside the room.

"Lord Lin, it is already noon, General Luo would like to invite you to attend the ceremony."

When Lin Beixuan heard the soldiers outside say that it was already noon, he looked slightly surprised.

I didn't expect that I could stay in that position against the wall all night.

"I see."

After answering, he stood up from the shabby little bed, stretched his body, and his bones crackled.

Staying in this closed and dark space, time becomes an elusive concept.

The secular world is not like the modern world where almost everyone has a mobile phone. The only things people here rely on to calculate time are the sun in the sky and a crude timer.

But obviously, they have neither of them underground.

Stepping out of the semi-enclosed room, Lin Beixuan saw clearly in the darkness the person who came to wake him up.

It was still the scout captain from yesterday.

However, when I saw each other again today, the feeling I gave was slightly different.

It was a state as if everything was ready, and even if he was asked to die in the next moment, he would do it without hesitation.

"Nice to meet you again." Lin Beixuan greeted.

Xiao He clasped his fists excitedly and bowed his head towards Lin Beixuan: "I didn't expect that Lord Lin still remembered me. It is really an honor for me."

"It's not like we haven't seen each other for a long time. It's been less than 24 hours since we last met."

Lin Beixuan patted Xiao He on the shoulder and asked, "Does your general plan to go out and challenge the nine hungry minions today?"

Xiao He was obviously stunned when he heard this and couldn't help but feel curious.

"How did you know that, my Lord?"

"I'm not blind. I can tell from the expression on your face."

Lin Beixuan smiled and walked past Xiao He, then went along the tunnel towards the meeting room where he had been yesterday.

His eyesight attribute had already exceeded 100 points for various reasons. Even without using any secret method, he could still see things clearly in a completely dark environment. Therefore, he had already memorized the route when he came to this room yesterday.

But Xiao He didn't know about this. Even after Lin Beixuan left, he still stood there slightly shocked and surprised.

"Yesterday I discovered that Lord Lin's eyesight was surprisingly good, but I didn't expect it to be so good!"

In fact, just as Lin Beixuan said, Luo Bingzhong asked him to discuss a series of matters regarding the attack against the nine-headed hungry minions today.

Scout captain Xiao He trotted to keep up with Lin Beixuan's pace, feeling that this outsider was more familiar with the terrain here than he was.

After going around in circles, Lin Beixuan arrived at the conference hall again. At this time, the generals of the Zhenxi Army had been waiting for a long time.

Luo Bingzhong stood in front of a stone table, wearing armor and holding a sword at his waist in his right hand. His face was a little thin, but his eyes had become sharper than when they met yesterday, like two sharp swords, revealing firmness and determination.

The same was true for the generals beside him. Each of them was on high alert, with an extremely solemn look on their faces.

"Brother Lin, you came here in a hurry, so I should have let you rest for a while. I hope you can forgive me for waking you up so suddenly."

"What happened?" Lin Beixuan was not frightened by the solemn atmosphere before him, but said calmly.

"Yesterday I told my soldiers what we discussed. After hearing it, they couldn't wait any longer. They wanted to stand in the sun again, feel the wind, and breathe freely."

Luo Bingzhong raised his chin slightly, his eyes shining, as if he was recalling the scenes he mentioned.

Being trapped underground for nearly three months, lacking water and food, it was only because of the amazing willpower of the Zhenxi Army that the soldiers were trapped. Ordinary people would have gone crazy long ago.

That is why after Luo Bingzhong spread the news, the soldiers of the Zhenxi Army could no longer hold back and asked to fight the next day.

Of course, this also includes Luo Bingzhong himself.

As the saying goes: The first effort is strong, the second is weaker, and the third is exhausted.

Luo Bingzhong was also afraid that if the situation dragged on, the morale of the army would not only not improve, but would decline instead. Now was the best time to attack.

Lin Beixuan glanced at everyone and couldn't help but sighed and said, "Are you all ready?"

He could fully understand the feelings of the Zhenxi Army at the moment. After being trapped for so long, they finally saw a glimmer of hope and would instinctively hold on to it and would not let go even if they died.

"In fact, we have been ready for a long time!"

Luo Bingzhong exuded a murderous aura, and his eyes shone with murderous intent: "Even if you don't come, we will attack in a few days to have a final battle with the nine hungry henchmen."

Just as he said, even if Lin Beixuan did not come, the Zhenxi Army would not let themselves starve to death underground. When everything is ready, he will lead the remaining soldiers to take the initiative to attack.

They can die in any way except starvation.

Even Luo Bingzhong had already come up with a plan in his mind.

That is to use the remaining explosives in the army to blow up the Corpse Stream and pull those zombies into the water.

Although this approach is somewhat unethical, he has already reached the point of fighting for his own death, and he will use it even if it is the most despicable move.

Besides, those are zombies, not humans, and they won’t cause much psychological trouble to him.

As a general, the worst thing you should do is to be soft-hearted and overly tolerant.

Luo Bingzhong looked at Lin Beixuan with a serious expression, and said in a deep voice: "Brother Lin, are you willing to help our Zhenxi Army break through?"

"Since General Luo has decided to attack today, I will certainly help him. However, there are three points that I hope General Luo will keep in mind."

"Brother Lin, please speak." Luo Bingzhong waved his hand and said.

Lin Beixuan said calmly: "First, if we break through, I hope General Luo can abide by the conditions we agreed to last night."

"That's natural." Luo Bingzhong nodded.

Lin Beixuan's eyes were steady as he continued, "Secondly, the nine hungry minions are difficult to deal with. I may not be able to buy enough time for the Zhenxi Army to form a military force. When the time comes, should I take advantage of this opportunity to escape or fight hard? Please consider it yourself, General."

"Third, the Zhenxi Army has very few soldiers now, only less than 3,000 people. Excluding archers and scouts, there are probably not many soldiers who can actually form a battle formation. Therefore, the combat power is much weaker than before. I suggest that we can use other external objects to influence the hungry minions."

"The external objects that Brother Lin mentioned are... those zombies?"

After Luo Bingzhong pondered for a moment, he looked at Lin Beixuan with burning eyes. After seeing the other party nod, he couldn't help but feel a sense of mutual respect for Lin Beixuan.

Lin Beixuan's idea actually coincided with his previous idea.

However, there were still many flaws in this idea that always bothered him.

"In fact, we have observed those zombies for a long time. They seem to be affected by some special rules, which makes them unable to walk out of the zombie ravine. This is why our Zhenxi Army has the opportunity to build a place for them to stay right under the noses of the nine hungry minions."

"I once thought of using explosives to blow up the entire valley. When it overturns, I can force the zombies in the Corpse Gorge out, causing chaos for the Nine-Headed Hungry Minions, and helping our army escape." Luo Bingzhong said slowly, but Lin Beixuan shook his head after hearing it.

"You used explosives to blow up the valley. Let's not talk about whether you can force those zombies out. Even if you do, your Zhenxi Army will be the first to suffer!"

"What do you mean?" Luo Bingzhong frowned.

Unexpectedly, Lin Beixuan stretched out a hand and pointed upwards.

"General Luo, have you forgotten that those nine hungry minions can fly?"

Luo Bingzhong fell silent after hearing this.

He had naturally thought of this, but the Zhenxi Army had no help on all sides, and the only ones he could rely on were the zombies in the nearby ravine.

What he had in mind was that when chaos broke out, even if the Zhenxi Army was ultimately defeated by the Nine-Headed Hungry Minions, they would be able to rush out of the valley in the stream of corpses.

He never thought about how many people would survive in the end, because he would definitely be dead by then.

Luo Bingzhong smiled and had no intention of telling Lin Beixuan his true thoughts.

"So what do you want to do, Brother Lin?"

"I think there should be a better way to lure out those zombies than to blow up the entire valley as you said."

Lin Beixuan took two steps and recalled Xi Xuan's figure in his mind.

The zombie with strange behavior was judged by the panel to be a member of the Golden Six Paths life form.

"I think General Luo should know that there is a very special zombie among the zombies."

"I met him several times when I was driven to this valley by the nine hungry minions." Luo Bingzhong thought of Xi Xuan and a look of regret appeared on his face.

"He must have been a very good person before he died!"

At that time, the Zhenxi Army was being hunted by the Nine-Headed Hungry Minions, and had no choice but to flee into this valley, where they met Xi Xuan, who was conscious at the time.

However, due to Xi Xuan's appearance as a zombie, many contradictions arose, and it was finally confirmed that the other party's soul had not dissipated and he still maintained human consciousness.

During this period, Xi Xuan helped the Zhenxi Army escape from danger many times.

Luo Bingzhong said slowly: "He is the most special existence I have ever seen in my life. He is very powerful, even able to make the Nine-Headed Hungry Minions feel fearful, but sometimes he is very weak, so weak that a soldier under my army can kill him. It is simply weird to the extreme."

Upon hearing this, Lin Beixuan nodded in agreement.

Xi Xuan's existence does indeed go against the common sense of the secular world.

But when I think about the other party's identity as the six human corpses, everything makes sense.

The path of gods, the path of humans, the path of Asuras, the path of hell, the path of hungry ghosts, and the path of animals.

What Xi Xuan represents is the human realm among the six realms of sentient beings - the six realms of human corpses.

With such a fate, Lin Beixuan would not be surprised no matter how strange things happened to Xi Xuan.

He also speculated that the first hungry ghost that occupied Luozhou and started a wave of starving ghosts was most likely related to the hungry ghost realm.

Could the Xuanhuang hungry ghosts be the six hungry ghosts that have been contaminated by the Xuanhuang aura of the Nine Heavens Xuanhuang Pagoda?

There is black and white in the world. The human world is one of the three good paths among the six paths, while the hungry ghost world is one of the three evil paths among the six paths.

There are forty-nine things in the Way of Heaven, and man must escape from one of them.

Luozhou is in a desperate situation. It is possible that Xi Xuan is the protagonist recognized by heaven. In the future, he will defeat the starving ghosts and retake Luozhou.

So according to what Luo Bingzhong said, even if he didn't come here, he would have a final battle with the Nine-Headed Hungry Minion after a while, and he would also find a way to bring those zombies in the Corpse Stream together.

In the end, either the Zhenxi Army will be destroyed, or... the Zhenxi Army will successfully get rid of the nine hungry minions with the help of Xi Xuan.

Thinking of this, Lin Beixuan took a slight breath, feeling as if he had come into contact with something extraordinary.

"If everything is as I thought, then my appearance has changed the original ending of Luozhou in disguise?"

Lin Beixuan raised his head, his eyes seemed to penetrate the thick earth wall, looking at the sky above Luozhou that was covered by gray clouds.

"There can't be such a thing as Heavenly Dao in this secular world!"

"If it really exists, then what on earth are we, the secular children?"

"Brother Lin, Brother Lin..."

Seeing Lin Beixuan suddenly frowning and thinking while chatting with him, Luo Bingzhong couldn't help but shout out: "But have you thought of any solution?"

His thoughts were pulled back by the voice, Lin Beixuan exhaled and shook his head: "Nothing!"

"Let's continue."

"The method I thought of using to gain leverage was also the zombies, but the method I thought of was that special zombie." Lin Beixuan's eyes were deep, revealing a calmness that came from careful consideration.

"He has an immortal body. Even the nine-headed hungry minions cannot kill him, and they are very afraid of him." He continued his analysis.

"General, what you said about the zombies in the Corpse Gorge being bound by certain rules. Could there be some connection between the two?"

……

Lin Beixuan's voice was the only one heard in the silent conference hall. Luo Bingzhong and the many generals behind him all held their breath, fearing that a sudden sound would disturb Lin Beixuan's thoughts.

As Lin Beixuan gradually analyzed the situation, their eyes began to brighten and their faces showed expressions of sudden enlightenment.

Luo Bingzhong's beard was trembling, and his palms kept clenching and relaxing, trying hard to suppress his inner excitement.

Lin Beixuan's words sounded like a flash of lightning in the darkness to his ears, resolving all the doubts lingering in his heart.

"Great! Great!!"

After Lin Beixuan finished speaking, Luo Bingzhong clapped his hands, paced back and forth, his voice filled with irrepressible joy.

“Why didn’t I think of this relationship before? If I had thought of it earlier, so many brothers of the Zhenxi Army would not have died in vain!” As he spoke, his eyes turned red and tears began to glisten in his eyes.

"So, Brother Lin, what are you going to do?" Luo Bingzhong straightened his back, and the long knife slightly grooved in his palm.

"Let's follow what we discussed last night. The Zhenxi Army can attack today, but before that, I need to find the zombie."

"His name is Xi Xuan." It sounded weird to hear the zombies walking all the time, so Luo Bingzhong added.

However, when Lin Beixuan heard this, he frowned instantly.

"How do you know his name is Xi Xuan?"

When he met the other party, Xi Xuan had already forgotten his name and couldn't even find the most important things in his life. He only found out the other party's name through the panel.

Then how did Luo Bingzhong know Xi Xuan's name?

Could it be that when the two sides met before, Xi Xuan had not yet forgotten those things?

But soon, Luo Bingzhong gave the answer.

He shook his head and carefully took out a tattered little notebook from inside his armor. The cover was so worn that it was almost unrecognizable, and the edges were yellowed with sporadic bloodstains.

"I learned it from here," Luo Bingzhong explained, his tone tinged with emotion.

Lin Beixuan took the notebook handed to him by Luo Bingzhong, flipped through it and took a quick look, his expression somewhat wry.

My goodness, I have been looking for this thing that carries my memories for so long, but it turned out to be hidden by you, a bastard.
