Secular world: My destiny has no taboos

Chapter 354: Blade (II)
"In our current situation, we can no longer take things one step at a time!"

At the same time, in the Beiming Army, the black and red blood robes fluttered in the wind. Lin Beixuan stood upright, looking in a very far direction.

There seemed to be a golden flame burning in one of his eyes, piercing through the void.

What he was looking at was the direction of the Xuanhuang hungry ghost.

However, he would only take a quick glance and then look away, because staring for too long would attract the other person's attention.

During this period, Lin Beixuan would observe the movements of the fantasy hungry ghost from time to time.

Through observation, he found that the reason why the other party had not shown up in person to cause trouble for them was that he was entangled in something and could not get away.

And that thing was about a village.

"A ruined village!"

"What exactly is that place?" Lin Beixuan murmured in a low voice.

Behind him stood Luo Bingzhong, Shen Tingmiao, and Wu Huo who had recovered from his serious injuries.

Now these three are considered to be the highest-ranking generals in the Beiming Army, below him.

Luo Bingzhong still mainly leads his Zhenxi Army, but now it has been incorporated into the Beiming Army.

The remaining Beiming Army, which was basically composed of newcomers, was managed by Shen Tingmiao and Wu Huo respectively.

No, there are no new recruits in the Beiming Army now.

After several days of continuous fighting, these guys who had just joined the army and even had difficulty chopping their knives crookedly were now able to accurately thrust their knives into the necks of starving ghosts and quickly and efficiently eliminate the enemies in front of them.

There is a saying that goes, "If there is a place where new recruits can grow rapidly, then that place can only be the battlefield!"

After going through the trials of blood and fire, walking on the edge of life and death, and shedding the cocoon shell, it will transform into a more beautiful butterfly.

Of course, death is also inevitable here.

Many people even saw with their own eyes their comrades who had been laughing and scolding with them yesterday, falling under the clutches of starving ghosts today.

For these dead Beiming Army soldiers, Lin Beixuan would spend a lot of effort to gather their souls every time, and then send them to the City of the Dead in the Netherworld, waiting for them to wake up again as ghosts.

This is all Lin Beixuan can do.

From the very beginning, he knew that it would not be an easy task to take back Luozhou from the Xuanhuang Hungry Ghost, and that it would come at a heavy price.

Everyone in the Beiming Army was mentally prepared for this.

In fact, they have seen too much death. It is no longer a terrifying unknown, but countless realities that they have witnessed with their own eyes.

When Luozhou suffered a severe drought, there were starving people everywhere and dry bones everywhere. The skinny people who looked like skeletons had empty and numb eyes. They saw no hope and didn't even know when they would die.

It doesn't matter whether it becomes the leftover meat eaten by wolves and wild dogs on the roadside, or the human food in the containers of your companions.

On the devastated land, they have witnessed the most real suffering in the world, and in their eyes, life is as fragile as paper.

So when facing their own death, they are not as frightened as people imagine. Instead, they are quite calm.

"In fact, when I watched my wife and children being eaten, I should have died at that time!"

These were the last words spoken by a soldier from the Beiming Army when Doctor Hu Xian was treating him.

Doctor Hu Xian passed this sentence to Shen Tingmiao, and then Shen Tingmiao brought this sentence to Lin Beixuan.

Many people in the Beiming Army have their own families, but there are many more people whose parents have died and they are the only ones left alive.

When Lin Beixuan was recruiting soldiers in front of Sheshan, these people were the first to step forward and join the team.

"General, where should we go next?" Wu Huo, with a big sword on his waist, rode on the back of a stone horse and came up to Lin Beixuan and asked.

He recovered from his serious injuries, and under the influence of Luoqi's essence and blood, not only did he not suffer any sequelae, but his strength was even improved.

At first he had only the strength to enter the Kaifu realm, but now he has reached the peak of the Kaifu realm and is only one step away from summoning the gods.

However, breaking through the realm is not as simple as imagined. It is still unknown when Wu Huo will be able to break through the Summoning Gods Realm. Maybe he will be stuck at the peak of the Kaifu Realm for his entire life.

"Wangfeng City!" Lin Beixuan looked at the map in his hand and said calmly, "We will meet up with the Fox Spirit God and the others there."

"By the way, how is the training of the human machine going?"

Now that the Beiming Army has taken shape, Lin Beixuan began to consider the human and machine killing methods in the first part of the Taibai Yinjing.

He had tested it on the strange people in Qingyun Village before, and the effect was very good, which could greatly improve the practical ability of practitioners.

However, there is a disadvantage, that is, the training will be very painful, and sometimes you will even be attacked by swords and guns. If you are not careful, you will get hurt. Only soldiers who are considered elites can practice it.

Hearing Lin Beixuan's question, Wu Huo hesitated for a while and said, "It's not going very smoothly."

"Before, we only had a dozen people trying to conduct the human-machine training, but now there are suddenly hundreds more. I don't have enough experience in this area."

"It's okay, take your time. You can't succeed in anything the first time you do it."

'Human equipment' and 'military formation', these two have always been the issues that Lin Beixuan has been concerned about.

The chapter on cultivating human machinery is about sharpening one's own strength and exploring the limits of one's own potential.

The military formation chapter is about the control of external forces, emphasizing the coordination and cooperation between each individual, gathering individual strength into a sea and transforming it into a mighty trend.

If the soldiers are well-trained, he can control an army of tens of thousands, and even the secular gods will retreat when they see them.

War is never a simple collision of bags, but a combination of every step.

After listening to Wu Huo's talk about matters related to humans and machines, Lin Beixuan called Shen Tingmiao to his side to learn about the training matters regarding military formations.

After understanding the general situation of the Beiming Army today, it was almost afternoon, and they arrived at Wangfeng City before nightfall.

The reason why Wangfeng City is called Wangfeng City is because the area surrounding the city is open and one can see the mountains in the distance when looking from a distance.

This city is even more dilapidated than Qibi City. The city walls are broken in many places and there is not even a city gate. Through the gaps, you can directly see the scene inside the city.

Narrow streets, collapsed houses, withered grass between the ruins, and a faint smell of mold and dust in the air.

However, the Bei Ming Army has already gotten used to this. They don’t have high demands. They just want a place to live and rest temporarily.

After several days of continuous fighting, the Bei Ming Army was physically exhausted.

Those who have practiced cultivation may be able to endure it, but many soldiers who were originally just ordinary people have more or less sent out signs in their bodies that they urgently need to rest.

Lin Beixuan first asked Wu Huo to take a team of people into the city to investigate. After all the starving ghosts in the city were cleared out, he took everyone in.

After that, he did not make any other arrangements, but let the Beiming Army settle down and rest. At night, bonfires were lit everywhere in the city.

At this moment, under the dark sky, beams of light suddenly flew in from afar, attracting the attention of the Beiming soldiers standing guard on the city wall.

Upon seeing this unusual phenomenon, one of the team leaders immediately asked one of his team members to go and report it, while he himself pretended to pick up the gong at his waist and was about to strike it.

However, just as he raised his hand and was about to knock, a voice suddenly sounded in his ears.

"Don't panic, they are our people."

"General!" After seeing the person coming, the captain on duty quickly clasped his fists and saluted.

Lin Beixuan smiled and waved his hand: "Just follow the normal patrol."

After waving his hand to let everyone leave, Lin Beixuan stood quietly on the top of the city wall, looking at the lights in the sky that were getting closer and closer.

At this moment, due to fatigue from several consecutive days, most people fell asleep except the soldiers on night duty. After Lin Beixuan received the message from the token that Fox Spirit God and others would arrive in Wangfeng City soon, he came to the top of the city in advance because he was worried about what happened just now.

Not long after, the first streak of light landed on the top of the city wall.

It was not a fox spirit god, but a young man covered in gorgeous silver feathers and with eyes as sharp as an eagle.

As soon as Lin Beixuan raised his eyes and met his gaze, he felt as if he was in a world made of sharp metal.

"The divine realm of the secular god!"

After the secular god realized his own divinity, the world born in his consciousness was the realm of divinity. This was the same as Lin Beixuan's colorless barrier. His barrier actually also belonged to a kind of divine realm, but it was not so pure and was more of an extension of divinity.

His divine realm is a vision of the underworld hidden deep within his consciousness.

"He releases his divine domain as soon as he arrives. Is he planning to show his power to me?" Lin Beixuan narrowed his eyes and thought to himself.

He didn't know the secular god in front of him, but it was not difficult to guess his intentions.

The Fox Spirit God and the Goddess of the Underworld went to gather the scattered secular gods in Luozhou, and it has been quite effective, but not every secular god agrees with what they say.

For most of the gods who had become secular gods since their birth, it was extremely strange to ask them to obey the orders of a human being.

For example, the person in front of him arrived in Wangfeng City one step earlier than the Fox Spirit God, and he had the idea of testing Lin Beixuan in his heart.

"Are you the one with the surname Lin?"

The Unicron first looked around the top of the city, then stared at Lin Beixuan with his pair of silver eyes and asked with a slightly playful tone.

"If you weren't here to visit relatives or friends, it would have been me."

Clearly feeling the other party's provocation and contempt, Lin Beixuan looked indifferent, without showing the slightest sign of timidity on his face.

Hearing this, the corners of Ushi's mouth slightly raised, with a sneer on his face.

"Interesting, now that you see me, why don't you bow?"

"bye?"

Lin Beixuan raised his eyebrows slightly: "Worship you? What is the connection between us? Why do you think I need to worship you?"

"Since you are asking for help from the gods, you should set up a sacrificial shrine, light a firewood stove, kowtow, offer three kinds of animals as sacrifices, and burn enough incense."

"But I looked around and it seems like you have nothing here."

Hearing what the Pelican said, Lin Beixuan was stunned and a little angry to the point of laughing.

"Did the Fox Spirit God fail to explain clearly, or did you misunderstand the relationship between us?"

"The relationship between my Beiming Army and you secular gods is not that of gods and believers, but a cooperative relationship of equal status."

"Could it be that the Xuanhuang Hungry Ghost has damaged your brain and made you believe that humans are born to worship gods?"

Lin Beixuan's words were full of sarcasm.

Most of the secular gods are worshipped by their believers, and basically have the same seven emotions and six desires, love, hate and resentment as humans. Apart from their own peculiarities, they may be gods from spirits or ghosts, or they may be gods from natural incense. In essence, they are just creatures that are slightly more powerful than humans.

Of course, he would treat those who were polite with courtesy, but when he met someone who was very arrogant, he also didn't need to give him a good face.

Luozhou has been messed up like this, and this so-called god has not stepped forward to save it. This shows that he was also one of the people who was beaten by the Xuanhuang hungry ghost, but no one knows how he managed to survive in the end, unlike the Kuhe God who died.

"you……"

The unidentified god's eyes narrowed, and his voice became low and full of oppression, like thunder in summer, making people feel an invisible pressure in an instant.

Lin Beixuan's words hit the nail on the head. At that time, the Xuanhuang Hungry Ghost had beaten almost all the local gods in Luozhou, and he was naturally not spared. It was only when the Fox Spirit God found his seal that he was freed.

Because he was grateful to the Fox Spirit God for saving him from trouble, he did not refuse on the surface when he heard that they would need to listen to the ideas of a human being and fight against the Xuanhuang Hungry Ghost together in the future.

But deep down in his heart, he still disdained following the orders of a human.

He happened to come to Wangfeng Mountain today, and because of his own divine talent, he planned to arrive before Fox Spirit God and others to find out what abilities this extraordinary person mentioned by the other party has.

"Oh, I don't see any other advantages, but he's quite sharp-tongued!"

The Pelican God was furious at this moment and planned to teach Lin Beixuan a lesson.

He knew the relationship between Lin Beixuan and the Fox Spirit God, so he was not prepared to kill him. He just unfolded his own divine domain, thinking of suppressing the opponent inside first, and then releasing him when the Fox Spirit God came.

A cold smile appeared on the face of the Unic God. He took a deep breath and the air around him seemed to freeze at this moment. An invisible force spread out from his body, forming a huge divine realm.

The domain distorts space, as if a world resides inside.

This world is full of strange thorn-like trees, covered with silver leaves that gleam coldly in the dim light, like blades that can cut anything.

"Pelican Forest!"

As the words of the Pelican God fell, in the distorted world of space, the silver leaves on the thorny iron tree fell down and transformed into ancient pelicans flying straight towards Lin Beixuan.

They merged together like a binding chain, trying to entangle Lin Beixuan and drag him into it.

Seeing that Lin Beixuan was still standing there motionless, the Unknown God snorted contemptuously.

"How dare you, a mere mortal, disrespect the gods? This will teach you a lesson..."

However, before Pelican Mythology could finish his words, he saw the figure in front of him moving forward silently.

In an instant, black fog filled the air, cold wind howled, and with ghostly and miserable wails, red flames suddenly flashed, and then a huge city gate appeared in front of the Pelican God.
