Secular world: My destiny has no taboos

Chapter 398: Mountain Beyond Mountain

Chapter 398: Mountain Beyond Mountain
"If you are not from the same world, why force yourself to fit in? It will only hurt yourself and others."

Ah Xiang's words echoed faintly in Lin Beixuan's ears, making him feel a little surprised.

What does that mean? Is she talking about me or herself?

And she said she was busy. Was she investigating the matter of that secular god organization?

After thinking for a while, Lin Beixuan shook his head and decided not to dwell on it anymore.

Since Ah Xiang had made an appointment with her, the other party should not go back on his word. She just needed to wait until they meet tomorrow and ask.

"call--"

There was no light on in the room. Lin Beixuan didn't know when he started to like dark environments. Being immersed in the darkness made him feel comfortable both physically and mentally. Even his soul, which had been in pain and fever due to damage, felt much cooler.

"...Zhou Tian Da Jiao!" Lin Beixuan leaned on the bed and murmured softly.

Five pairs of little eyes shining in the dark looked at each other. They were like five little guards. After seeing Lin Beixuan slowly fall asleep, their tense expressions relaxed a little.

"The master looked so scary just now, just like the temple keeper with a gloomy face when we forgot to add oil to the longevity lamp!" Wealth-Greed Rat whispered in the brothers' ears.

"Snapped!"

However, just as it finished speaking, it suffered a severe brain collapse.

"How dare you compare me with that old woman who custodians the temple? Is she on the same level as me?"

The Praying Rat rubbed his aching fist, his face full of seriousness.

Among the brothers, the Blessing Rat was the first to rebel against Old Man Kongyun and choose to join Lin Beixuan. He successfully became the eldest brother of the Five Rats and is highly loyal to Lin Beixuan.

Now, in its eyes, how can the temple priests who once treated them as servants be compared with their own masters?

"Qi Fu is right, but Ying Cai you are too ignorant!" Li Lu Rat nodded his chin and agreed.

The Longevity Rat and the Happiness Rat on the side were usually quiet, but they still knew how to judge the situation and quickly stood next to the Blessing Rat.

Welcoming Rat: “…”

"We all heard the conversation between the master and the immortal lady just now. Now the master is seriously injured and can't exert his full strength. As his subordinates, we naturally have to help the master share the burden. Don't you agree?"

Praying Rat paced back and forth on the table with his hands behind his back.

"I heard that the Zhoutian Grand Ceremony is held in a mountain outside a mountain. It's the place where the real and secular worlds meet. There must be many masters there. With our skills, I'm afraid we're not even as good as a dish." The Longevity Rat sighed.

Seeing their master slowly growing to a level beyond their reach, the subordinates can't help but feel a little sad.

With their current strength, they are unable to truly help Lin Beixuan. They can only help protect his body after Lin Beixuan falls asleep and enters the mortal world. They are powerless to do anything more.

"We are still too weak. We need to become stronger, and we must also quit our Internet addiction!" Seeing that several elder brothers were lost in thought, Wealth Rat immediately stood up and expressed his opinion, wanting to make up for what he had just said wrong.

"But here, we can't make any progress." Jiang Xishu said weakly, "Besides, the master has to go to the Zhoutian Dajiao tomorrow."

"Yes."

The Praying Mouse nodded worriedly, looking very melancholy.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit depressing, Li Lu Rat came up with an idea: "We can take our time to become stronger in the future. I think the master doesn't need a few helpers from us for the time being. The most important thing is tomorrow."

"I have an idea. We may not be able to show off our strength, but we can find a way to make things look grand for the master."

"Show?" The Prayer Rat looked a little dazed.

"That's right." Li Lushu rubbed his whiskers like a military advisor and said in a deep voice: "This is the first time our master has appeared in front of so many people. The appearance must be grand so that the world can see our master's reputation..."

The Li Lu Rat seemed to be immersed in its own fantasy world. The master was very majestic, and they, as subordinates, also benefited from it, so much so that even its eyes were glowing.

The Blessing Rat frowned, his eyes first rested on the Profit Rat, and then he looked at the other three rats who were completely attracted by this idea.

Oh no, Li Lu is trying to steal my position as the big brother?

The blessing rat felt a little nervous and asked questions immediately.

"But how can we, alone, support the master? All his ghost soldiers and generals are in the secular world."

“So we have to find a way!”

Li Lushu smiled slyly: "After a long period of observing the state of the master when he fell asleep and entered the secular world, I found that every time he closed his eyes, the gourd around his neck would emit some faint purple air."

"But what does this have to do with what we want to do?"

"Of course it does."

Li Lu Rat restrained his smile and his expression became serious.

"The master relies on it to forcibly change the space in the real world and form a transit state similar to the secular world within his own range."

"Even when the master's soul entered the secular world, he was able to bring us back with him. It was all thanks to it."

"Don't you understand this?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the other mice were stunned and their heads went into a brainstorm.

"Okay... that seems to be the case!" The Wealth Rat opened his mouth wide, and it took a long time for him to come back to his senses.

The blessing rat frowned and asked in a low voice: "So what you mean is that we should enter the secular world through the purple jade gourd and bring all the ghost soldiers out?"

"Brother Qi Fu is worthy of being the smartest rat among our five brothers. He can guess my thoughts without me having to say it explicitly." Li Lu Rat complimented Qi Fu Rat with a smile.

The Blessing Rat was greatly pleased by what he said. He felt less nervous about the Prosperity Rat and began to seriously analyze the pros and cons.

"This is a good idea, but we don't have direct access to the underworld like the master. How can we gain the trust of the underworld soldiers and bring them out?"

"Brother, have you forgotten the little devil under the master's command? Besides, the master has so many treasures that he will always find a way."

This sentence instantly awakened the Praying Rat. After only thinking for a moment, it agreed to this action.

"While the master is asleep, let's try to see if the purple jade gourd can bring us back to the secular world."

As he was speaking, the Prayer Rat took the lead and quietly came to the head of Lin Beixuan's bed on its legs, and stretched its head to look next to Lin Beixuan's face.

Soon after, four more heads popped out.

Because of the damage to his soul, Lin Beixuan was temporarily unable to enter the real world, and he was also easily sleepy, so he fell asleep completely at this time.

After the Praying Rat was sure that his master was fast asleep, he secretly climbed up to his chest and took out the purple gourd that was casually strung with a rope around his neck.

“That’s it!”

Li Lu Rat stared with his eyes wide open, breathing heavily.

In its eyes, there is no doubt that this purple jade gourd is definitely a treasure.

Moreover, it is even more powerful than the magic weapon that can repair the soul mentioned in the weapon legend atlas when the master was talking to the Immortal Goddess just now.

"In fact, the master has completely overlooked that the most powerful treasure in the world is on himself!" Li Lu Rat smacked his lips and stretched out his hand to gently stroke the purple jade gourd.

"Hulu Hulu, we are going to the secular world to help the master gather people to support the situation. If you have a spirit, let us in!" Under the gaze of five pairs of gleaming eyes, the purple jade gourd hanging around Lin Beixuan's neck did not react at all.

So the Praying Rat tried several other methods and prayed in a low voice in front of the purple jade gourd, but still nothing happened.

The Wealth Rat was getting a little impatient, and huffed, "I knew this gourd was useless. It's better to ask for help from ourselves than to ask it for help!"

However, what no one expected was that after the Welcoming Rat finished speaking, the purple jade gourd began to shake slightly, and a purple aura emanated from its entire body. A black hole suddenly appeared at the mouth of the gourd that was originally sealed by jade.

In an instant, an extremely strong suction force came from the mouth of the gourd.

"It's done!"

“This gourd is indeed spiritual!”

Li Lu Rat didn't expect that his guess would actually be effective. When he saw that the purple jade gourd didn't react, he almost gave up.

So, when the suction wrapped around it, the Rat did not resist at all and allowed the suction to suck it into the gourd.

The Blessing Rat, Longevity Rat and Happiness Rat also looked at each other, released their control, and their bodies kept shrinking under the attraction of the purple jade gourd, turning into a spot of light and drilling into the gourd.

After a burst of purple light, the room fell into darkness again.

It was not until a long time later that a faint voice full of doubt and disbelief suddenly sounded.

"No...I haven't gotten in the car yet!"

……

The next morning.

Lin Beixuan woke up from his sleep. He didn’t sleep well last night and kept feeling a rustling sound in his ears.

He wanted to open his eyes to check, but the fatigue in his soul soon made him fall into sleep again.

After getting up and washing up in the shower, he looked around the room and saw that there was nothing that needed to be cleaned up, so he was ready to call the Five Rats to leave. However, he found that only the Wealth Rat jumped onto his shoulder.

"Why are you the only one praying for them?"

"They are out on some business, but don't worry, sir, they will be back soon." The Wealth Rat said with a pout.

Lin Beixuan frowned when he heard this and was about to ask for clarification when the doorbell of the room suddenly rang.

When I opened the door, it was Zhuge Qing who had already dressed up and was dressed elegantly and handsomely.

Unlike yesterday, Zhuge Qing had a few more silver ornaments on his hands today.

"You have been more deeply influenced by the secular world." Lin Beixuan said lightly.

Zhuge Qing shrugged helplessly: "There's nothing I can do. Some things are simply out of control!"

"Let's go quickly, otherwise those people who are entering the outer mountain will block us."

"Yeah." Lin Beixuan nodded and said nothing more.

The two drove all the way to a square at the foot of a mountain. After parking the car at a random place, Zhuge Qing hurriedly took Lin Beixuan into a small road.

Not long after walking, they saw Zhou Ling and his group waiting in the pavilion ahead.

"I didn't expect that even though I arrived two hours early, I would still be behind you." Zhuge Qing stepped forward and greeted them.

Zhou Ling glanced casually and said, "No one wants to queue up to go up the mountain, so naturally they have to go early."

"Now that we're here, let's go."

After saying this, Zhou Ling walked alone along the path, and her other friends immediately followed.

Lin Beixuan and Zhuge Qing walked silently behind.

The air in the mountains is very good in the early morning. Even in Beijing, a city famous for its smog, you can breathe the refreshing air in the early morning at this time.

After walking up the path for about half an hour, a cliff suddenly appeared in front of them.

Lin Beixuan narrowed his eyes slightly and looked downward, but he couldn't tell exactly how high it was because there was a thick layer of fog below the cliff, extending along the long cliff to the end of his sight.

Zhuge Qing saw Lin Beixuan's confusion and pointed forward.

"Don't worry later, just walk straight ahead. As long as you hold the jade talisman for entering the mountain in your hand, every step you take forward is actually a step from the present world to the mountain beyond the mountain."

Lin Beixuan nodded when he heard that, and then he saw that Zhou Ling had already reached the edge of the cliff. The cold mountain breeze in the early morning was blowing her hair. Below her was a cliff that towered into the clouds. If an ordinary person stood here, he would never dare to take another step forward.

However, Zhou Ling just took a step forward without any hesitation.

"Huwu..."

The mountain wind blew, and there was no one left where Zhou Ling had been just now.

"She didn't fall down, but after taking that step, she disappeared!" Lin Beixuan was secretly shocked.

Afterwards, he watched Zhou Ling and his companions disappear in front of the cliff, and Zhuge Qing began to call him to prepare to enter the mountain.

"Let's go too. In fact, it's just like entering the transit area normally. I'll wait for you at the mountain pass." Zhuge Qing walked quickly across the edge as if he was familiar with the route and disappeared from Lin Beixuan's sight.

“This transit point is quite amazing!”

Lin Beixuan curled up the corner of his mouth into a smile and stepped out.

In an instant, the originally cold mountain wind suddenly stopped, as if it had never appeared. After a moment of weightlessness, the foot that had stepped out was firmly on the ground again.

A thick fog similar to the one in the Luocheng transit area appeared in front of Lin Beixuan. There was a faint sound of bells ringing in his ears, sometimes far and sometimes near, echoing in this foggy world.

After walking for a while, we saw the fog gradually thinning and an ancient stone tablet standing in the center.

"Mountains beyond mountains!"

Lin Beixuan recited it silently, raised his head, and saw a magnificent mountain slowly emerging.

"Tread, step, step..."

There were continuous footsteps sounds around, and figures began to appear in the thin white mist.

Soon after, more and more figures appeared. Through the mist, I could see that they were wearing ancient clothes, including official robes and armor...

After seeing Lin Beixuan, these people just glanced at him quickly and then looked away.

“It seems that there are more people going up the mountain today than expected!”

Lin Beixuan took out the jade talisman that Zhuge Qing had given him and found that the side with the runes painted on it lit up.

Not only him, the jade talismans and runes in the pockets of others were also shining brightly.

After taking a simple deep breath, Lin Beixuan followed the direction the people around him were heading, and in a few minutes he arrived at the mountain pass that Zhuge Qing mentioned.

At this time, Zhuge Qing and Zhou Ling were both standing there, but their eyes were not looking around, but fell on a man who was like an iron tower.
