Secular world: My destiny has no taboos

Chapter 365: Reincarnation

"Taisui meat is the favorite cured food of the twelve secular gods in the secular world. It tastes better than delicacies. Eating it can consolidate the foundation of the gods. If you offer it to any secular master's temple, you can make a reasonable request to the secular master."

Lin Beixuan played with the stone-like Tai Sui meat in his hand, recalling the information that appeared on the panel when he first obtained the Tai Sui meat.

Not to mention anything else, just being able to make a reasonable request to the secular master is enough to prove the value of the Tai Sui meat.

In some key uses, it is even comparable to those top-ranked magical weapons in the Weapon Legend Atlas.

However, precisely because it is too precious, Lin Beixuan does not dare to try the use of Tai Sui meat easily.

"Should we place it directly on the tribute table, or slice it like meat?"

Lin Beixuan thought about it and felt that both methods were not appropriate. If he accidentally damaged the Tai Sui meat, he would not even have a place to cry.

Taking out the token of the Fox Spirit God from the bag, Lin Beixuan planned to ask the Fox Spirit God for help, as the other party should know something about this matter.

Holding the token in one hand, he injected a little power into it. Soon the token began to emit a faint halo, as if breathing.

After a while, the voice of the Fox Spirit God came from inside: "My lord, I think you have arrived at the Tianzun Temple."

"Yeah." Lin Beixuan responded calmly: "I want to ask you something."

"But how to use Tai Sui meat?"

Lin Beixuan: “…”

The Fox Spirit God chuckled from the token: "Just burn the Tai Sui meat in front of the statue."

"Burned?" Lin Beixuan was stunned. He had thought of various methods, but he never expected to burn the Tai Sui meat.

"Burning the offerings in front of the statue is the fastest way to let the other party know. You will know it after you build a temple in the future."

"Okay, I understand!" Lin Beixuan nodded in response.

After putting the token away, Lin Beixuan stared at the Tai Sui meat. Suddenly, a flame rose in his palm and quickly wrapped up the Tai Sui meat.

In the red flame, the shadow of Tai Sui meat was reflected, like a piece of black oily object, making a sizzling sound under the burning flame.

After a while, Lin Beixuan sniffed and smelled an extremely rich fragrance.

It's hard to describe the fragrance. It has the aroma of meat and the fragrance of fruit. If you smell it carefully, it even has a faint aroma of wine.

The various flavors mixed together not only did not make people feel strange, but instead made Lin Beixuan feel hungry.

“I didn’t expect this small piece of Tai Sui meat to be so magical.”

Lin Beixuan looked at the Tai Sui meat gradually getting smaller in the fire and couldn't help swallowing.

At this moment, the entire Tiangang Temple was filled with the fragrance of Tai Sui meat.

The fragrance was so incomparable that it even caused the Xuanhuang hungry minions guarding outside the temple to move strangely. They mechanically turned their heads to take a look inside the temple.

Suddenly, at this moment, a sound of swallowing saliva came from the temple, like a thick tongue licking the lips, and saliva splashed everywhere as the mouth moved.

Lin Beixuan raised his head and shifted his gaze from the Tai Sui meat to the entire temple.

He discovered that this Tianzun Temple was undergoing drastic changes. The originally rough wooden beams in the temple emitted wisps of mist, and the white flags with mysterious runes painted on them swayed in the absence of wind.

His vision was blurry and Lin Beixuan felt that everything in front of him seemed to be changing.

The cushion he was sitting on lifted him up into the air. The bowls of offerings on the offering table in front of him seemed to have spirits. They jumped up and down, looking Lin Beixuan up and down with their lively eyes.

The Tianzun Temple, which looked like a dead temple before, completely changed in a short period of time, as if it had entered a different space.

The scent of incense drifted into Lin Beixuan's nose, which was more fragrant than any incense he had ever smelled.

If the aroma of incense he smelled before was milk that had been stored for a long time and had become cold, then what he smelled at this moment was the milk that had just been squeezed from the cow and carefully boiled.

"Tsk tsk..."

The sound of swallowing saliva became louder. Lin Beixuan didn't know if it was an illusion, but he seemed to see a huge shadow behind these happily jumping objects.

The shadow was blurry and not clear, but one could still vaguely see that the other person's head was shaped like a pig.

“Hehe… smells so good… it smells so good!!”

"Suck--"

Lin Beixuan took a deep breath when he saw the shadow, and then the reflection of the green smoke rising from the burning Tai Sui meat was immediately sucked in by the shadow.

"Wow, this fire is great. The roasted meat will taste even better."

Then, the shadow began to chew something. Lin Beixuan lowered his head to look at the Tai Sui meat in his hand and found that there was suddenly a large piece of meat missing.

Looking at the marks on it, it looks like it was bitten by teeth.

However, no matter how Lin Beixuan used his spiritual perception, even using the right eye of the Kuhe God, he could not see where he was at the moment.

While he was thinking, a large piece of Tai Sui meat disappeared, and now only a thumb-sized piece remained in Lin Beixuan's hand.

Seeing this scene, Lin Beixuan knew that his bet must have been right, so he simply let the Tai Sui head be eaten by the "opponent" in his hand.

Even though he couldn't see where the other person was now.

Watching the last piece of Tai Sui meat in his hand disappear, Lin Beixuan remained silent until the sound of smacking lips came faintly after eating.

"Since the underworld was closed, I haven't eaten Tai Sui meat roasted with karmic fire for a long time. Haha... It's really delicious, really delicious!"

The speaker's voice was muffled, yet carried a unique air of freedom, as if he was still savoring the taste of the Tai Sui meat.

Lin Beixuan smiled and bowed: "May I ask if it is the Venerable Tiangang who has arrived?"

Before the shadow could speak, the jumping objects in the temple began to shout.

"This is Tianzun Temple, who else could it be if not my master!" A porcelain bowl with a missing corner glared and roared.

"If you ask me, we are still short of a bowl. It would be better to leave him here so that he can serve the master together with us." The man with the lamp with a half-extinguished candle on his head laughed sinisterly.

"That's not good. After all, this person brought tribute here, which means he truly believes in our master." An oil bottle said cautiously.

"Bullshit, you say this man truly believes in our master, but he still has the scent of other secular masters." The incense burner in the middle pretended to shrug his non-existent nose, with an angry look on his face.

As soon as these words were spoken, the originally noisy scene suddenly became quiet for a few seconds.

"It seems to be true!"

"We can't let him go. Maybe he is a spy sent by other lay masters."

"I smelled it, too. It's the smell of the Rat and the Sheep. But the smell is really faint. You can't smell it unless you smell it carefully."

……

Lin Beixuan looked at the objects in front of him staring at him with scrutiny, his brows slightly furrowed, and instantly a sharp and majestic aura emanated from him.

The surrounding objects sensed the changes in Lin Beixuan's body, their speech paused, and one by one they stopped.

"I'm asking the Tian Gang Master, do you have the right to interrupt?"

Lin Beixuan seemed to be not surprised at all by these talking and thinking objects, and his eyes swept over them indifferently. "You!" The incense burner in the middle heard this and immediately raised his eyebrows and wanted to refute, but at this moment, a muffled voice came from behind it.

"Okay, okay, what the guest said is correct and makes sense."

As soon as he finished speaking, the objects that had been shouting in front of Lin Beixuan fell silent, not daring to make a sound.

"I'm in a good mood today, so I'll let you go for now. Don't let it happen again next time!"

"Yes, sir!!"

All the objects bowed their heads in a low voice at the same time, and their attitude changed 180 degrees compared to when they were treating Lin Beixuan.

The shadow nodded and waved his hand gently, and all the objects turned back to their previous dead appearance.

The temple was extremely quiet for a while, with only the sound of Lin Beixuan's faint breathing.

"Om..."

A faint ripple swept by, and the huge shadow gradually shrank. At the same time, the sound of footsteps echoed in the temple.

Lin Beixuan's originally amazing eyesight was greatly restricted here. Even the right eye of the Bitter River God could not be broken, and it became the level of a normal person.

So even though he heard the footsteps, he still didn't see the person behind those footsteps.

Finally, the darkness under the statue faded away, and Lin Beixuan could see its owner clearly.

He was a fat boy with a pig's head and a human body, who looked only the size of a ten-year-old child, with fair skin and an appearance exactly like the statue in the Tianzun Temple.

He had a smile on his lips and looked very gentle. His eyes were big and smart, yet gave people a feeling of vicissitudes.

He was wearing a gray cloth robe and cloth shoes, with his hands behind his back, just looking at Lin Beixuan quietly.

"Boy, I was sleeping soundly, but you woke me up in my temple. This is your fault."

"But you treated me to a portion of the best Tai Sui meat, which filled my stomach. This is a great kindness."

"A small sin is worth a great good, so I'll give you a chance to ask me for it, and I can fulfill it at my discretion."

“But remember, you only have one chance.” Venerable Tiangang said to Lin Beixuan with a smile.

Lin Beixuan looked at the Tiangang Master in front of him. In his perception, the other party was so ordinary that he couldn't be more ordinary. The aura he exuded was even worse than that of some newly-formed monsters.

But he knew that all this was just appearance.

The one standing in front of him now is the secular master who controls the rules of the entire secular world under the Heavenly Dao. With his current strength, he is not even qualified to guess the other party's abilities.

Above the small folk gods are the big folk gods, and above the big folk gods are the folk masters.

Among the twelve zodiac gods...the Pig!
Lin Beixuan could feel that when he stood in front of the other party, he seemed completely transparent, and all the secrets he had hidden were visible to the other party.

So he did not intend to hide anything. After bowing respectfully to the other party, he looked up at Venerable Tiangang and said.

"Please, venerable, kill the source of the starving ghosts in Luozhou and restore peace to the people of Luozhou."

Upon hearing this, Venerable Tiangang did not show the slightest surprise on his face, as if he had known it for a long time.

However, he shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I can't help you kill that hungry ghost."

Lin Beixuan was startled when he heard this: "Why?"

Venerable Tiangang sighed and pointed his finger above his head.

"To be honest, although my temple is built here because of Luozhou's karma, the cause of the starving ghost incident was the severance of the earth veins in Luozhou."

"The people of Luozhou have lived on this land for thousands of years, and have accumulated a heavy karma with this land. According to the law of karma, the people of Luozhou need to bear the consequences themselves."

Lin Beixuan frowned: "But didn't Tianzun also say that you also suffered the karma of Luozhou?"

"Why can't we repay fruit with fruit?"

When it comes to these matters related to cause and effect, Lin Beixuan actually sounds a little vague, but in his subconscious, he is extremely disdainful of these so-called causes and effects.

Everything depends on human efforts. If you have to worry about whether you can afford the backlash of cause and effect when you want to do something, then what is the difference between that and simply imprisoning yourself?

Venerable Tiangang seemed to see through Lin Beixuan's thoughts. He chuckled and paced slowly with his hands behind his back.

"You think too simply. Do you think the one that appears before you is my real body? It is also just a fake one."

"That's the extent of my friendship with the people of Luozhou. That's why I have this fake body. With the strength of this fake body, I want to help you kill the starving ghost. You're making it difficult for me!"

Venerable Tiangang shook his head and sat down lazily. Then, clouds and mist condensed into a chair behind him.

Seeing the other party looking as if it had nothing to do with him, Lin Beixuan's expression became a little gloomy.

He felt that his precious piece of Tai Sui meat was about to be fed to the dogs.

"I want to solve the source of the starving ghosts in Luozhou and kill the Xuanhuang hungry ghost. May I ask if there is anything you can do to help me?"

Venerable Tiangang did not answer Lin Beixuan's question. Instead, he looked at him with a smile and talked about a topic that had nothing to do with Luozhou.

"Do you know which rules each of us twelve Xiao Gods controls?"

Lin Beixuan shook his head decisively. Not only did he not know, he was afraid that even the lesser gods like Fox Spirit God did not know the rules that Xiao Shen had mastered.

Tian Gang Venerable touched his round belly and said, "Rat, Ox, Tiger... Dog, Pig."

"There were twelve of us competing for the ranking, but I ended up being the last one. Do you know why?"

Hearing this, Lin Beixuan remembered a cartoon he had watched as a child in the present world, so he asked tentatively.

"Is it because the Venerable subdued a great medicine demon at the cost of his own life in order to help the human race?"

Venerable Tiangang looked at Lin Beixuan with a smile, and suddenly stretched out a hand and patted Lin Beixuan on the head.

"I guessed wrong because I'm lazy!"

Lin Beixuan: “…”

"But later I figured it out. It's okay for me to be at the back. If something happens, they can fill in for me."

At this point, Venerable Tiangang laughed out loud, holding his belly.

But as he laughed, he saw Lin Beixuan's cold expression, and the smile on his face gradually faded.

"It's really unfunny and not interesting at all."

Then, Venerable Tiangang waved his hand and said, "Go find that hungry ghost. Within the scope of the conditions, my fake body can take action once."

After hearing these words, Lin Beixuan suddenly felt an extremely strong suction force pulling his body from behind.

It seemed as if heavy snow was falling in his sight, and the whole world was dyed white. The figure of Tiangang Zun became fainter and fainter until it disappeared. Only the other party's words with a slight smile echoed in his ears.

"Palace Master, this starving ghost is a part of your reincarnation. Is your world ready for reincarnation?"
