Secular world: My destiny has no taboos

Chapter 395 405: Going to Beijing

"...The Old Immortal of Antarctica!"

When hearing this name, the first thought that popped into Lin Beixuan's mind was the old man with a bump on his head and a pestle in Journey to the West.

"He's a leader among us Impermanents. He's one of the first free men who grew up without relying on any organization." Zhuge Qing's voice was filled with awe at the other end of the line.

"The earliest batch of secular children were not like today, where they can know many people of the same path and have information to consult. At that time, they were truly on their own, venturing into a completely unfamiliar world, and thus figured out the rules that we can now look up."

"And everyone who has survived until now is extremely powerful."

"Can he help me remove the official monitoring?" Lin Beixuan asked directly.

"I am now on my way to find the Nanji Old Immortal. I heard from a friend that he is very knowledgeable about interference and confusion."

"He is somewhere."

"Jingzhou!" Zhuge Qing said.

There were constant strange noises coming from his side, and it sounded like he was at the airport.

Lin Beixuan's expression changed slightly: "Why are you in Jingzhou?"

"I heard that the Zhoutian Grand Ceremony in Jingzhou has officially begun, and many of the older generation of secular people have gone to watch."

Zhuge Qing held the cell phone between his ear and shoulder and walked in the airport waiting hall carrying a suitcase.

"Want to come? We can come together." Zhuge Qing said lightly.

"I'll think about it again!"

Shangjing is thousands of kilometers away from Luocheng, and it takes a lot of time to get there.

Although Lin Beixuan doesn't have to worry about attending school now, Shangjing is the capital of Xuan Kingdom after all, and the security against secular sons there is probably much stricter than in Luocheng.

The authorities had just set up a surveillance system on him, and right after that he left Los Angeles for Beijing. The authorities would definitely notice it.

Lin Beixuan hung up the phone and sighed helplessly.

"A Xiang is also in Beijing, and there is also the Zhoutian Grand Ceremony. She can't go back to school now. With Shi Fu helping to look after the store, there shouldn't be any problems..."

After thinking for a moment, Lin Beixuan quickly made a decision.

Heading to Shangjing!

While he is unable to enter the secular world, develop more of your relationships in this world.

Compared to the secular world, his connections in this world are still too few.

Thinking of this, Lin Beixuan bought a plane ticket for tomorrow without saying a word.

After calling the doctor, Lin Beixuan insisted on going through the discharge procedures. Finally, after several examinations that convinced the doctor that he was fine, Lin Beixuan successfully returned to his rental house from the hospital.

When I returned to my home, a sense of familiarity suddenly came over me.

Even though he hadn't lived in the room for almost a month, it was still very clean and the Five Rats cleaned it regularly.

After placing the luggage on the sofa, the five rats jumped off Lin Beixuan's shoulders one by one.

"It's still comfortable at home!"

The Wealth Rat was the first to jump onto the table and picked up the mobile phone that Lin Beixuan had bought for them.

"Master, don't forget to pay the fee."

"..."

Lin Beixuan's face darkened, but he still paid all the owed internet and electricity bills.

"Have fun tonight, but starting tomorrow your cell phones will be confiscated. You will have to go to Beijing with me."

"Shangjing, should it be Jingzhou in our world?!" asked the Prayer Rat quietly.

"Yes."

"Alas, the temple of Lord Kongyun, whom we once served, is located in Jingzhou, at the feet of the emperor, and the incense is very prosperous!"

The smallest of the five rats, the Jiangxi Rat, does not have a strong desire to play with mobile phones, and is also the most well-behaved and obedient.

When they heard that Lin Beixuan was going to take them to the feet of the emperor, they immediately recalled their experience of adding oil and lighting lamps at the temple of Old Man Kongyun.

However, they were not serving as officials in the largest temple of Kongyun Laosou, but in Shunzhou.

In every temple of Kongyun Laosou, there are one or several temple servants who are responsible for the same work as the Five Rats before them, praying for blessings and good luck, burning incense and lighting lamps...

Therefore, the Five Rats were not the only subordinates of Old Man Kongyun. This was why the Five Rats betrayed Old Man Kongyun and joined Lin Beixuan’s army so quickly after they came to the mortal world.

Just imagine that a company has hundreds of employees. After being divided into different levels, a few of the low-level employees could not stand the pressure and left. For the boss, this is actually dispensable.

At the beginning, the Five Rats were worried that Old Man Kongyun would come looking for them, but now that so much time has passed, the Five Rats no longer have that worry.

He is not shy about talking about his former boss.

In his spare time, Lin Beixuan had listened to the Five Rats telling stories about Old Man Kongyun, and he knew a lot about this secular god Xiaozhu, whom he had only heard of but never seen in person.

Not long ago, he had witnessed the power of Lord Tiangang in the secular world. The great aura that was above all things and controlled the rules of heaven and earth left a deep impression on him.

"When we get to the capital, you'd better behave yourself and stop running around."

"Since you know that the emperor's feet are extremely prosperous, you must have understood that behind this prosperity, there are countless eyes watching in the dark."

"Although you have great concealment skills, you are only a Kaifu realm monster after all. You can't show up on the big stage. Once you are discovered by the government, they may capture you and take you back for experiments."

Seeing that Lin Beixuan had a serious face and didn't look like he was trying to scare them, the five rats put away their expressions.

The blessing mouse quickly assured: "Master, we understand. We will be obedient and not cause any trouble. We will always follow you!"

Seeing the five rats trembling with fear, Lin Beixuan nodded with satisfaction. He took this opportunity to say a few more words to them before turning around and going into the bathroom.

After taking a comfortable bath, Lin Beixuan lay on the bed.

This time, after he closed his eyes, there was no more strange noise in his ears as when he entered the secular world, nor did his body feel weightless.

“I didn’t expect that after my soul was damaged, I could actually sleep well!”

Lin Beixuan sighed lightly and quickly fell asleep.

The Prayer Rat, who looked like a loyal butler, jumped onto the bed and pulled the quilt around Lin Beixuan's waist up a little.

……

The next day, after a comfortable night's sleep, Lin Beixuan got up early.

The faint sunlight shines into the room through the gaps in the curtains, illuminating the floor, and the air is filled with a fresh and peaceful scent.

Lin Beixuan was eating breakfast when suddenly the cell phone on the table buzzed and vibrated.

Looking at the caller ID on the phone screen, Lin Beixuan raised his eyebrows and pressed the answer button.

Xiao Han's voice rang out from the receiver: "I won't keep you in suspense. According to our abnormal tracking records of you, we found that you bought a plane ticket to Shangjing not long after we left yesterday."

Xiao Han's tone is as formulaic as ever.

People like Lin Beixuan, who have been identified as high-risk secular princes, are under close surveillance by the authorities.

Although long-distance travel will not be prohibited, once they move across regions, the authorities will immediately notify Lin Beixuan and ask for details. In addition, Lin Beixuan's information will be reported to Shangjing, and Lin Beixuan's whereabouts and consumption in Shangjing will also be taken over by Shangjing officials.

"Yes, I did book a flight to Beijing last night." Lin Beixuan answered frankly in a calm tone.

He has long known that the authorities would monitor his whereabouts. After all, he is currently a person of special attention. Although he is very unhappy, he has to face this reality.

"What are you going to do in Beijing?" Xiao Han asked.

"Anyway, I can't go to class now, and I'm bored at home, so I want to go to Shangjing to have some fun and take a look at the lively Zhoutian Grand Ceremony being held there.

Ever since I became a secular boy, I have been staying near the school and have hardly gone out. I don’t know the other secular boys in my group.

I would like to take this opportunity to learn more about the secular world and also meet some like-minded people.”

Lin Beixuan spoke so sincerely that it was almost impossible to guess his true intentions.

In fact, this was part of his original purpose for this trip.

Xiao Han was silent for a moment, as if he was weighing the truthfulness of what Lin Beixuan said.

After waiting for a few seconds, Xiao Han spoke up: "As long as you don't commit crimes or endanger society, the authorities will not interfere in your private affairs. After all, it's not what you wanted to be like now.

But I must remind you in advance that no matter what your purpose is, you must restrain yourself once you arrive in Shangjing.

It's not like Luo City. As a Xuan countryman, you should know the importance of that place."

After saying this, Xiao Han hung up the phone.

Hearing the busy tone on the phone, Lin Beixuan smiled, finished the remaining breakfast in front of him, picked up the luggage that had been prepared long ago, and reached out to open the door.

The moment the door opened, the five rats turned into several streams of light and slipped into Lin Beixuan's coat pockets.

"Let's go to the capital!"

……

A few hours later, a plane slowly landed at Shangjing Airport.

Following the crowd out of the terminal, Lin Beixuan took a deep breath.

“Everyone says the air quality in Beijing is bad, but why do they all smell the same to me?”

Lin Beixuan took out his cell phone and sent Zhuge Qing a message saying that he had arrived.

On the way here, he told Zhuge Qing that he would arrive in Shangjing by plane this morning. Zhuge Qing was not surprised when he heard this and said that he would come to pick him up.

After waiting at the station for a while, Lin Beixuan saw a shiny black car approaching from a distance and then stopped steadily beside him.

'Zi~'

The car window slowly lowered, Zhuge Qing first raised his arm, then stuck his handsome head out.

"boarding!"

Lin Beixuan narrowed his eyes, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he threw the suitcase into the trunk, and sat in the passenger seat of the car.

"You look much better than the last time we met. You can even act cool."

Zhuge Qing smiled awkwardly when he heard this, but he was not angry at what Lin Beixuan said.

He skillfully controlled the steering wheel, weaving through the congested traffic in Beijing.

"I have to say thank you. It was all thanks to your elixirs last time, otherwise my brothers and I would probably still be lying at home." Zhuge Qing glanced at Lin Beixuan and said.

"No need to thank me. Those things you gave me last time also helped me a lot." Lin Beixuan rolled down the car window and let the wind blow his hair.

"Let's put it this way!" Zhuge Qing said with a smile, "But to be honest, I didn't expect you to reach this point."

While driving, Zhuge Qing looked Lin Beixuan up and down with his peripheral vision.

"Your appearance and mood don't seem like someone who has been seriously affected by worldliness."

"You don't look like one either."

Lin Beixuan withdrew his gaze from the window and his eyes fell on Zhuge Qing.

He was wearing a black shirt and casual pants, a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on his face, and looked like a successful man. Combined with Zhuge Qing's already handsome appearance, he looked completely different from what Lin Beixuan had seen him in previous times.

Zhuge Qing raised his lips upon hearing this: "Worldliness is not only reflected in appearance and emotions, such as internal organs, aging souls... these can all be manifestations of worldliness."

"For example, even though my facial features haven't changed much, my thoughts and body organs have been affected by worldliness."

"If it were the old me, I would never dress myself in such a flashy outfit, but now I think it suits me."

Zhuge Qing turned on the music in the car, stepped on the accelerator, and the car instantly accelerated and rushed out, being particularly conspicuous in the heavy traffic.

However, he shook his head slightly, as if enjoying the tense and exciting atmosphere at the moment.

Lin Beixuan sat calmly in his seat, looking at the cars speeding past him, without a trace of panic on his face.

"It seems that deepening secularization will indeed have some negative effects on people."

"Yes, I find that I am less and less afraid of death, and my fear of doing things is gradually decreasing."

Zhuge Qing slowed down the car and let it run normally in the traffic flow, with a frown on his face.

"That's why I took the initiative to come to Shangjing to look for the Nanji Laoxian. Not only did the official monitoring have an impact on me, but I actually had a big problem with my thinking."

Facing Lin Beixuan, Zhuge Qing had no intention of hiding his problems.

"In our circle, the Nanji Old Immortal also has the ability to help people suppress worldliness."

"You should be doing this too, right?"

In his opinion, the reason why Lin Beixuan was as anxious to find it as he was was probably because secularization had affected his life and he wanted to find a way to solve it.

"I came here mainly because I'm bored and don't like being supervised by the authorities, so I took this opportunity to see the world," Lin Beixuan replied.

Zhuge Qing smiled when he heard this and had no intention of exposing Lin Beixuan's lie.

"The Zhoutian Grand Ceremony is held in the mountain outside the mountain. It is a space separated by several official human immortal leaders. It is not easy to go there without someone to lead the way."

"Do you have any connections?"

"Of course, and I've prepared it for you as well."

Zhuge Qing took out a jade talisman from the car's storage compartment and threw it to Lin Beixuan.

"I used a lot of connections to get this jade talisman for entering the mountain. There is only one piece. If I lose it, it will be gone."

"Thank you!" Lin Beixuan took the jade talisman and felt a warm breath like water flowing on the surface of the jade talisman.

"You're welcome. We both have similar goals. I heard that the old immortal of the South Pole has a weird temper. I may not be able to handle it alone. It just so happens that you can help me."

"I'll help you put your luggage at the hotel first, and then I'll take you to meet some of my friends in Beijing."

Zhuge Qing drove the car to a hotel with Lin Beixuan, and said with a slightly envious tone after parking the car.

"They are different from the two of us who have made our own way. As soon as they entered the secular world, they were led by big men. Their strength improved rapidly in the secular world. One of them has already entered the realm of summoning gods."

“The realm of summoning gods… In the secular world, he is considered a top master.” Following Zhuge Qing’s envious tone, Lin Beixuan smiled and sighed softly.
