Secular world: My destiny has no taboos

Chapter 345: Understand the Heaven and Earth, Know Yin and Yang - Bei Ming

[You are baptized by pure air, and your health is restored by +1. ]

The air was filled with a faint smell of incense, a familiar shrine appeared at my feet, and in the corners of the old wooden houses, I could see dust and spider webs.

Lin Beixuan opened his eyes and saw a faint light coming through the big hole in the roof.

"Dad, wake up!"

The infant spirit floating in the air with its legs crossed was dozing off, but woke up immediately after hearing the noise.

"Ah."

Lin Beixuan nodded and sat up from the bed.

"How long have I slept?"

The baby spirit counted carefully on his fingers: "It seems to be two days... No, it's one day, which is not right..."

Seeing that the infant spirit couldn't even count, Lin Beixuan felt that he needed to put the infant spirit's study plan on the agenda.

Let him learn the multiplication tables first.

"You slept for a whole day and two nights."

Just at this moment, Shen Tingmiao pushed open the door holding a bowl of hot porridge.

"That's right, Dad, you slept for a day and a half!" The infant spirit beside him quickly agreed.

He was quite familiar with Shen Tingmiao, so he was more restrained than usual at this moment, and was not as arrogant as when he faced Wu Huo.

Lin Beixuan glanced at the infant spirit helplessly, then took the hot porridge handed to him by Shen Tingmiao and took a sip.

The feeling of hunger in this world and the secular world is not the same. Even if he has already had dinner in this world, he will still feel hungry after sleeping for so long in the secular world.

"How's things going in Wuhuo?" Lin Beixuan asked after finishing the soup in the bowl.

"He has woken up. Your drop of blood essence is very effective. His injuries have healed at a speed visible to the naked eye."

"That's good."

Lin Beixuan simply nodded, put on his shoes and got out of bed.

Pushing open the shabby wooden window, the dim scene outside was revealed. It should be dawn at this time. A faint light in the sky dispelled the darkness on the earth, and the gray clouds showed the unchanging depressing atmosphere of Luozhou.

After taking a breath of fresh air, Lin Beixuan walked out of the house. Shen Tingmiao followed him and told him about recent developments.

"Ever since you killed the blood ghost's hungry minions, the nights have been peaceful. No more hungry ghosts have come to harass us, and everyone has had a good rest."

"However, I have a vague feeling that there is a deeper danger hidden behind this peace."

Lin Beixuan turned around in surprise and looked at Shen Tingmiao.

Shen Tingmiao said to herself: "It's mainly because it's too quiet. There's not even the roar of starving ghosts at night. This makes me feel uneasy."

Shen Tingmiao took out the shrine of Ninth Aunt from the cloth bag she was carrying on her back.

"The situation with Grandma Jiu has been temporarily contained. A large conflict broke out between the Purple Goddess and the Evil Spirit Master's subordinates in Hongfa County, Qingzhou, and many people were involved.

I heard that almost all the people in Hongfa County had died. In the end, it was the arrival of Yimu Wuxian under the command of Zigu Shen and a two-headed evil spirit under the command of Xieling Zhenjun that prevented greater casualties on both sides. "

"I'm afraid these two parties will never unite again in the future." Lin Beixuan said after hearing this.

"Yes, I heard that Goddess Zi Gu was extremely angry because Hongfa County was originally the territory that she and True Lord Xie Ling agreed upon, and True Lord Xie Ling broke the rules."

The infant spirit shook its head as it listened, and occasionally interjected, "If you ask me, the bigger the fight, the better. It would be best if both sides killed each other and died together."

Shen Tingmiao glanced at the infant spirit and shook her head: "It's impossible. God Zi Gu and True Lord Xie Ling can't personally go down for Qingzhou. The only ones who will suffer are the people living in Qingzhou!"

"Nowadays, in the territory under the jurisdiction of Zi Gu God, ordinary people cannot distinguish between the Yin and Yang worlds even if they light a lamp at the door of their house at night. Evil spirits will break into people's homes at will and peel off their tendons and skin as blood food."

Shen Tingmiao's words were heavy, and one could imagine the miserable situation in Qingzhou just from these few words.

"I remember there is a Shennong Herbal Hall in Qingzhou?" Lin Beixuan thought for a moment and asked.

He was very concerned about Shennong's Herbal Medicine Hall. There was a medicine shop in Anle County opened by a disciple from Shennong's Herbal Medicine Hall.

"I do know a little about this. I got the information from the old farmer."

"The owner of the medicine shop once asked Grandma Jiu to send Huang Xian's family out to guide his disciples to Anle County to avoid disaster."

"Did Auntie Nine agree?"

“No, Anle County can barely protect itself, so how can it have the spare capacity to take care of outsiders?

Anle County has been completely blocked, and only exits are allowed, but no entry. If you want to leave Anle County, you must be prepared to become a wandering ghost outside." Shen Tingmiao said with cold eyes.

Obviously, the current situation in Anle County is not as good as Shen Tingmiao said. There should be not only external pressure, but also internal unrest.

When people are on the verge of despair, their own desires will be magnified, and they will do many things that they once dared not do, which will seriously affect the order in Anle County.

"Actually, at a time like this, it would be better to just start killing!" Lin Beixuan suggested sincerely.

"..."

Seeing Lin Beixuan's serious expression, Shen Tingmiao opened her mouth in surprise, but finally nodded.

"I will convey your suggestion to Auntie Nine."

"Ah."

When Lin Beixuan came outside, the entire Bi City had been cleared out by the Zhenxi Army and his team and used as a stronghold.

The houses that were still usable and habitable were left behind, while some that were too dilapidated were directly demolished and used as firewood for burning at night.

The cleared area naturally became the team's training ground, and a team of more than 10,000 people trained day and night in the open field.

Since the Zhenxi Army arrived, Lin Beixuan finally began formal training.

He had used ghost soldiers to train his troops before, but found that it didn't work.

Because the habits of the ghost soldiers are no longer the same as when they were alive, after experiencing so much time in the Black Evil Valley, their combat methods have long since changed from those of ordinary people to techniques that are more suitable for ghosts.

It's OK when used on inexperienced recruits, but over time, it will produce major flaws.

The arrival of the Zhenxi Army just made up for this.

The army's momentum was magnificent and powerful, with a spirit of "who else but us" to take on the challenge. With tens of thousands of people gathered together to charge, even a god would die under their iron hooves.

These kinds of key points cannot be taught by the Yin soldiers.

Perhaps the ghost soldiers were able to do so when they were alive, but they have been dead for a long time, and now all that remains is the sinister and strange evil spirit, which is not suitable for an army of living people.

Arriving at the parade ground, Lin Beixuan looked up and saw the new recruits lined up neatly and receiving training from the Zhenxi Army on the parade ground.

In the past two days, Luo Bingzhong did not teach the new recruits anything other than military discipline.

Military discipline is the cornerstone of an army. Without strict military discipline, even the most powerful army is just a mob. Luo Bingzhong is well aware of this, so he puts military discipline education first and assigns some Zhenxi Army generals who have recovered from their injuries to the team to teach the newcomers in the team together with the generals originally appointed by Lin Beixuan.

Although they are newcomers, they have experienced so many things, and even participated in the battle with the army of starving ghosts a few nights ago. Everyone knows that if they want to regain their homes, they can only rely on themselves and the blades in their hands.

Therefore, everyone had no complaints when receiving education and took notes carefully.

When Luo Bingzhong saw Lin Beixuan coming, he immediately came down from the reviewing stand and invited Lin Beixuan upstairs.

"Brother Lin, you are finally awake. Now the team's training still mainly depends on you to lead it."

Luo Bingzhong is a smart man who knows how to judge the situation. At present, the Zhenxi Army is under the protection of Lin Beixuan, and Lin Beixuan has entrusted him with the task of training new recruits.

This is a trust in him and also an invisible pressure.

People’s hearts are complicated.

Now that the new recruits are under his training, the morale of the team will naturally lean towards him consciously or unconsciously.

Luo Bingzhong couldn't guarantee whether Lin Beixuan would become estranged from him in the future because of this incident, so it would be better for him to make his attitude clear early on to reassure the other party.

You see, although I am training your soldiers, I have a clear distinction between the primary and the secondary, and will never overstep my authority.

Luo Bingzhong grinned, and the thick beard on his chin trembled slightly as he smiled.

He pushed Lin Beixuan onto the reviewing stand, slowed down his pace and lagged behind Lin Beixuan by one body length.

These are the experiences he has summed up after suffering a lot of hardships over the years.

Lin Beixuan glanced at Luo Bingzhong and naturally understood what the other party was worried about. He simply shrugged his shoulders, followed his lead, and stood directly in the center of the reviewing stand.

Standing in this position sends a clear signal.

He is the center and leader of this team.

Lin Beixuan glanced at the neatly arranged recruits and saw many familiar faces among them.

Many people died in the starving ghost attack on the city a few days ago, but those who survived were all elites who could quickly get into the state and had extraordinary potential.

They have seen the blood of their brothers and the blood of their enemies. They are no longer the ordinary people whose first thought when encountering evil is to run away.

After experiencing the baptism of life and death, they have begun to acquire the qualities of a warrior.

Lin Beixuan didn't say anything, but he could keenly sense that the breathing of the people below was gradually becoming heavier.

“These people still recognize him!”

Below the stage, Guan Shuo stared intently at Lin Beixuan on the reviewing stand.

That night he climbed up the city wall and fought a bloody battle with the starving ghosts. Just when he was about to give up, he saw a man rushing out from the wave of starving ghosts, descending to the foot of the city and cutting off the starving ghosts.

That person was the one standing on the stage at this moment, and he was also the adult who rescued him from the bitter river.

There were also Xing Liang and Zhang Luo who came out of Sheshan.

They all knew that the man standing on the platform was the general who led them out of Sheshan. He was also the one who returned strongly from the crisis a few days ago, killed the blood ghosts and hungry minions, and cut off the army of starving ghosts halfway.

If it weren't for the other party, who knows how many more people would have died as the city gates would have been broken through by the starving ghosts.

Facing the gazes from the audience, Lin Beixuan felt an inexplicable pressure, but his face still had a calm expression, as if everything was under his control.

At this time, Luo Bingzhong came to Lin Beixuan's ear and whispered: "Brother Lin, I found that your team seems to have never had a formal name."

Luo Bingzhong's words hit the nail on the head.

Lin Beixuan was stunned when he heard this, then he reacted.

It seems that I have never really given my team a name.

Including the group of people from Qingyun Village who accompanied him into Luozhou. They were said to be his soldiers, but they did not even have a formal name.

"Brother Lin, why don't you just take this opportunity to decide on the name of the team. This will also help rally the troops' morale."

"General Luo is right." Lin Beixuan thought carefully and nodded solemnly: "We do need a name that belongs to us."

"General Luo, do you have any ideas?"

"I dare not make any suggestions on this matter. Brother Lin, you should do it yourself." Luo Bingzhong thought that Lin Beixuan was testing him again, and quickly waved his hand to refuse.

Lin Beixuan frowned slightly. In fact, he really didn't know how to name this team.

He glanced at Shen Tingmiao, and saw that she immediately turned her head away, as if she didn't see anything.

"Ugh!!"

Lin Beixuan sighed, and just when he was feeling distressed, a flash of inspiration suddenly came to his mind.

He thought of the mansion that was supported by four pillars when he founded it, and how it was integrated into the forbidden area and transformed into a underworld when he summoned the gods.

"Why not just call it--Bei Ming Army!" Lin Beixuan opened his mouth and spoke lightly.

"Beiming!"

Luo Bingzhong raised his hand to smooth his beard, and his eyes gradually brightened.

"Beiming...Beiming Army!"

"It is said that there is a demon god in the North Sea, mysterious and unfathomable, vast and boundless. He transforms into a giant fish, whose body is unknown how many thousands of miles long. He transforms into a bird, flapping its wings like a cloud hanging from the sky, connecting heaven and earth, and knowing yin and yang."

"Luozhou is located in the northwest of the ancient dynasties, and Brother Lin's name also contains the word "North". Adding them together, it's a good name... It's a really good name!!"

Luo Bingzhong burst into laughter, and the light in his eyes proved that he strongly agreed with this name.

"Northern Ming Army!"

Shen Tingmiao looked at Lin Beixuan, reciting these three words in a low voice, with a gleam in her eyes, and was also attracted by this name.

When Luo Bingzhong talked about naming the team, she was actually thinking about what name to use. However, after thinking about it, she always felt that there were many shortcomings. Either it was not powerful enough, or it was too heavy.

So when she heard Lin Beixuan say the word "Beiming", she instantly imagined in her mind the mystery and majestic momentum of the two words that transcended the mortal world.

As Luo Bingzhong said, it combines the concept of the allegorical meaning of "Beiming" and the word "Bei" in Lin Beixuan's name, forming a unique resonance.

"I'm afraid it's more than that!" Shen Tingmiao murmured softly.

Having been with Lin Beixuan for so long, she knows some of his background. She has called upon the ghost soldiers to suppress many disasters and evil spirits. It is like the underworld has reappeared to sweep away the evil and restore clarity to the world.

Soon, the news that General Lin on the stage was going to name them the "Beiming Army" was passed down from the front row to the lower ranks, and quickly spread among the officers and soldiers.

From now on, they, like the Zhenxi Army, have their own identity.

——The Northern Ming Army!
