Secular world: My destiny has no taboos

Chapter 41: The fisherman benefits?
"Crack..."

Xu Shounian's neck was broken by Lin Beixuan. In the last moment of his life, he saw Lin Beixuan's face half covered by darkness.

His body gradually went limp, and there was no resentment in his eyes towards Lin Beixuan for suddenly killing him. Instead, he revealed a sense of relief and ease.

He grew up in the Ruan family and was a servant of the Ruan family. All his life, he was devoted to the Ruan family. No matter what his master wanted him to do, he would do his best to complete it.

This is the meaning of his existence.

The cold wind blows away the ants, and the night in the mortal world is far darker than ordinary people imagine.

Lin Beixuan let out a slow breath, stretched his stiff shoulders, and took out the bent hatchet from behind his waist.

In front, when Madam Li's palm was about to touch the back of the baby spirit's head, a bone-cutting pain came from her fingertips. The baby spirit seemed to feel the strangeness behind its head, and its little mouth flattened and it let out a sinister cry.

What is surprising is that the sound coming out of its mouth does not belong to a baby, but rather to an adult.

"Akagi!"

Pei Juan's pupils suddenly contracted and she chanted the spell faster, urging Madam Li to take down the talisman as soon as possible.

But in the next moment, the baby spirit turned its head suddenly, its voice still crying, but its expression changed into a smile.

A thick yin energy erupted, and Madam Li was instantly blown away. It was as if her soul was bitten by something, devouring most of her soul, and her body became hazy.

"waste."

Pei Juan cursed and took out an old copper bell from her arms. The bell was stained with blood and as she shook it, it made a shrill sound.

Normally, the sounds of bells are mostly crisp, but the sound of this copper bell is extremely strange. Not only is it harsh, it can also stir up people's emotions and make the listener irritable.

Every time Pei Juan shook the copper bell, blood flowed out, gradually dyeing the yellow copper bell blood-red.

After hearing the bell, Lin Beixuan felt as if countless ghosts suddenly appeared in his mind and rushed around. The murmuring sounds stirred up his deepest emotions.

After hearing the sound, the infant spirit was affected more than Lin Beixuan. Its consciousness, which was already infected by the Red Wood Talisman, became even more confused, and the expression on its face changed rapidly at this moment.

Pei Juan intended to fight poison with poison and forcibly slow down the speed at which the talisman eroded the infant spirit.

The infant spirit, as the center of the battlefield, has been tortured beyond recognition.

Born with resentment in the first place, and now being tortured like this, the infant spirit's own resentment is rising at a terrifying rate.

"Ah... Ajuan, it's bad, stop it!" The old beggar saw that the situation was not good and stammered.

The ringtone that was enough to affect the emotions of most people sounded silent to him and did not cause him any inconvenience at all.

Pei Juan narrowed her eyes and not only completely ignored the old beggar's advice, but also increased the speed of ringing the bell.

The strange and piercing sound of the bell mixed with the painful scream of the infant spirit, echoing far away in the darkness.

In the home of the Huangshi Village chief, the blind old man had not gone to bed yet. He was sitting in a hall with a lit oil lamp. In front of him was an incense table with a colorfully painted sculpture of a cow on it.

At this time, he was bowing three times and kowtowing nine times, and inserted three incense sticks in front of the cow statue. Offerings were placed beside it. The smoke rising from the incense sticks floated strangely into the nose of the cow statue.

The village chief was crawling on the ground, muttering something, as if he was talking to the cow statue. But when the infant spirit's shrill howls reached his ears, the village chief was immediately frightened and sat down on the ground.

At this moment, his eyes were filled with horror, his whole body was shaking, and he looked across the house towards the direction of the Ruan family's house.

"Internal and external troubles... Internal and external troubles, please offer sacrifices to the spirits to save Huangshi Village!" Tears flowed down the face of the village chief. He rushed to the front of the cow statue, but there was no response for a long time. When he raised his head, he saw that the cow statue had cracked from head to toe.

gone!

The sacrificial spirit of Huangshi Village left just like that.

At that time, the Huangshi Village changed the God of Red Beard to the object of worship and offering, because they valued the status of the twelve folk gods in the past dynasties, and for this they even gave up the land they once worshipped.

But unexpectedly, when something really happened in Huangshi Village, Mr. Jiangran left without even looking back, and even cut off his contact with the incense.

Does this mean that Huangshi Village is doomed to fail?
The village chief sat on the ground in a daze, his one remaining eye filled with sadness.

He picked up the lantern and slowly walked out of the house. He stood outside the door, looking at the empty street for a long time without moving.

Even the ghosts and monsters that usually liked to roam around at night disappeared completely at this moment. Their perception of danger was much stronger than that of humans, and they moved out of Huangshi Village as soon as the omen sounded.

It can be said that the streets of Huangshi Village are very safe tonight, and there is no need to worry about encountering a ghost wall.

The village chief sighed and walked alone towards the land temple that had been abandoned for a long time.

……

"Danglanglang..."

The copper bell kept shaking in Pei Juan's hand. The infant spirit was already lying on the ground in pain. Two spirits in its mind were fighting against each other, almost causing it to collapse.

But there is always a price to pay for every gain. The resentment of the infant spirit is growing rapidly at this time, and has reached a level several times that of an ordinary infant spirit.

Pei Juan's eyes flashed with a gleam as she stood up trembling. The frequent use of the Soul-Shaking Bell would also have a significant impact on her.

However, these injuries are nothing compared to the importance of the infant spirit in front of him.

She walked up to the baby spirit and forced a smug smile on her face.

"No wonder Senluo Temple is not even ranked among the Taoist sects. Do you think you can do anything to me with such a small trick?"

Pei Juan thought that the confused baby spirit had been subdued by her, and reached out to peel off the talisman behind the baby spirit's head. But at this moment, the baby spirit with its eyes closed suddenly opened its eyes, turned around and bit Pei Juan's hand holding the copper bell.

I saw a black afterimage flash by, and an arm was thrown high into the air, accompanied by Pei Juan's shocked curse: "Infant spirit, obey my orders!"

However, her orders had no effect at all. After the infant spirit bit off her arm, it immediately turned back with a fierce look in its eyes, wanting to bite through Pei Juan's throat.

At this critical moment, the old beggar suddenly appeared in front of Pei Juan, with his palms clasped in front of his chest. His hands emitted a faint fluorescent light, and finally he grabbed the baby spirit's body.

Ghosts are invisible and traceless, and infant spirits are no exception. Lin Beixuan relies on the ability to break evil spirits in his fate to confront ghosts head-on. However, the old beggar did nothing but rushed forward and grabbed the infant spirit.

"Is this the secret of the God of Land?" Lin Beixuan was secretly shocked. After the ringing sound disappeared, he recovered.

However, although the old beggar caught the baby spirit, the baby spirit's ferocity had not diminished. It bit the old beggar's hand.

The old beggar had to retract his hand. After the infant spirit missed its target, it also jumped back. After staring at the old beggar for a moment, it suddenly spoke hoarsely.

"You set up so many traps but I benefited from it. What are you shouting about?"
