Secular world: My destiny has no taboos

Chapter 361: Death Temple

"Last time you asked me to investigate the incense temple of Lord Tiangang, I indeed discovered something different." The Fox Spirit God looked dimly as he followed Lin Beixuan's gaze towards the distant sky.

"The temple is indeed guarded by an official of the Xuanhuang Hungry Ghost, just as you said. However, that official doesn't seem to be in his right mind. He looks like a puppet made by an old man from the Yin-Yang School that I saw before."

The Fox Spirit God paused and continued, "I avoided its perception and entered the temple. There was nothing abnormal inside, but there was one thing that surprised me."

"That's too clean!"

"clean?"

Lin Beixuan frowned slightly.

Could it be that the cleanliness and tidiness of the temple could be considered abnormal in the eyes of secular gods?

The Fox Spirit God saw what Lin Beixuan was thinking and shook his head helplessly.

"When I say clean, I don't mean whether the temple is tidy or not, but that there is no smell of incense like in normal temples of secular gods."

"As long as it is a temple that has received incense, there will definitely be some lingering scent of incense. But when I went to check out the Tianzun Temple this time, it felt like a dead temple."

Having said that, the Fox Spirit God's eyes became solemn.

"But...how could the lay master possibly die?"

The Fox Spirit God said this so solemnly that it almost violated a taboo.

You must know that in the secular world, the more powerful the secular gods are, the more they can sense certain conceptual things in the dark.

For example, if someone mentions your name, you will have some sense in your heart, which will enable you to gain insight into the ins and outs of the event.

However, it was obvious that the Fox Spirit God was extremely shocked that there was no scent of incense in the incense temple of Tiangang Venerable, and even ignored the possible feelings of the high-ranking secular gods.

But this matter is no longer important now. What is important is why the secular master’s temple is a dead temple.

"The lay master cannot die."

The one who spoke was Shen Tingmiao. She had a serious expression on her face and directly refuted the words of the Fox Spirit God.

Logically speaking, with her current strength, she is not qualified to refute the Fox Spirit God, but today she is extremely abnormal.

Lin Beixuan looked at Shen Tingmiao with a questioning look in his eyes.

Shen Tingmiao did not delay and took a deep breath and said, "When my Shen family was still in Jingzhou, we worshipped one of the twelve secular masters, the Dog of the Dog, the Lie Yin Star Lord. I can guarantee that what I said cannot be a lie."

"Xu Gou, Lord of Fiery Sound!"

"That's right. Before my family was sent down, we worshipped Lie Yin Xing Jun, and we also had a tablet in Lie Yin Xing Jun's incense temple, so I know a little about the secular master."

"The lay master will not die, I can guarantee that!"

Shen Tingmiao was very confident when she said this. It was unclear whether she was confident in her own knowledge or really knew some secrets about the secular master.

Although the Twelve Secular Gods are not a secret to the public and are even widely circulated, incense temples erected in various state capitals and many ordinary people's homes have shrines dedicated to the Secular Gods.

But precisely because it was spread so widely, secular gods basically never appeared, but instead a large number of secular gods, both large and small, were able to flourish and grow stronger throughout the dynasties.

In fact, the Fox Spirit God didn't have a very clear understanding of the secular masters. Seeing Shen Tingmiao so confident, he immediately believed it a little.

"But since the secular gods will not die like us secular gods, why is the Temple of Incense and Fire a temple of death?"

"I'm not too sure about that." Shen Tingmiao shook her head: "In my Shen family tree, there were some records about secular masters. It is said that each secular master is in charge of a rule in the world. As long as the rule is not destroyed, the secular master will not die."

The Fox Spirit God narrowed her eyes when she heard this, she knew that what Shen Tingmiao said was right.

The secular gods control the ways, while the secular masters control the rules.

There are many ways under the rules, but there are none above the rules. It can be said that the secular master already possesses some of the most powerful powers in the secular world.

"Ugh!"

Fox Spirit God sighed and turned to look at Lin Beixuan. "That's all I know. There is no scent of incense in the temple of the Venerable. Perhaps Venerable Tiangang has abandoned this temple, just like the past dynasties abandoned Luozhou."

In her eyes, Luozhou has become a place abandoned by all forces. Perhaps there is more than just one factor involved: starving ghosts.

Luozhou is like a chess game manipulated by a big hand, with mountains, rivers and all living things as pieces, and even... even the local gods of Luozhou are included.

The fox spirit god raised his head, looked at the setting sun at the end of the sky, and inexplicably felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart.

However, at this moment, Lin Beixuan suddenly burst into laughter.

"Hahaha……"

"Shanzhang, why do you think that the lack of incense in the incense temple must be a bad thing?"

"Perhaps the pig fell asleep due to want of sleep."

Fox Spirit God: “…”

Shen Tingmiao: "..."

"Cough cough..."

Seeing that both of them looked unhappy, Lin Beixuan put away his joking smile and spoke softly.

"That Tianzun Temple may not be a dead temple. Maybe it was just opened in the wrong way."

The Fox Spirit frowned: "What does Master Lin mean by this?"

"Since General Shen said that the lay master will not die, it means that the incense temple should not be as easy to be discovered as an ordinary lay temple."

The Fox Spirit God remained silent upon hearing this, and only let out a breath after a long while.

"Master Lin, in fact, this matter has little to do with our Beiming Army. Why do you want to know about the Tianzun Temple?"

In fact, this is also the question Shen Tingmiao wanted to ask.

The Tianzun Temple standing there will not have any impact on the Beiming Army, and it can also hold back an official of the Xuanhuang Hungry Ghost. It is a very cost-effective thing no matter how you look at it. Instead, it deviates from the topic to dwell too much on the Tianzun Temple.

Lin Beixuan smiled and said nothing, but in fact he knew it very well.

However, although the Beiming Army has gained some strength with the addition of the Luozhou secular god, its chances of winning against the Xuanhuang hungry ghosts are still very low.

Even though more than a dozen secular gods descended on Wangfeng City and brought many benefits to the Beiming Army, it is still unknown whether they can defeat the Xuanhuang hungry ghosts.

The Xuanhuang hungry ghost is growing too fast.

When he was born three years ago, he was able to seal and kill all the secular gods in Luozhou. Until now, his strength has become an unsolved mystery.

Through the right eye of the Bitter River God, Lin Beixuan observed the Xuanhuang Hungry Ghost for a long time. The vast and terrifying aura was definitely not something that the secular gods in Wangfeng City could measure.

Even if all are added together, they are still far inferior.

He didn't want to undermine everyone's confidence, so he never mentioned the specific strength of the Xuanhuang Hungry Ghost.

Now, in Lin Beixuan's opinion, there are two opportunities to solve the starving ghost incident in Luozhou.

One is that the Xuanhuang hungry ghost would rather temporarily give up causing trouble for the Beiming Army himself, and has been wandering outside the dilapidated village that no one dared to enter.

The second is the unusual Tianzun Temple.

Of these two opportunities, the former is too close to the Xuanhuang Hungry Ghost, making it almost impossible to find a way to get in, while the latter is only guarded by an officer. With his current strength, it is not difficult to pass through.

Lin Beixuan thought about it, looked at the Fox Spirit God and asked.

"Headmaster, I wonder if you know something called 'Tai Sui meat'!"
