Secular world: My destiny has no taboos

Chapter 416: Heavy Wind and Heavy Rain (Part 426)

Venerable Tiangang flicked the corner of his clothes which was not stained with dust, and spoke with disdain in his tone.

"You came to me just to ask me to help you restore Luozhou to its original state, right?"

Lin Beixuan was stunned. Is my intention so obvious?
But since the other party had said it directly, there was no reason for him not to answer.

"Yes, this time I came here, I really want to ask you about how to deal with Luozhou's celestial phenomena and earth energy."

"Ah……"

Venerable Tiangang showed an expression of "as expected", took a bite of the watermelon beside him, turned around and waved his hand without looking back.

"I don't know, don't ask me."

"..."

Seeing Venerable Tiangang's indifferent attitude, Lin Beixuan was not angry, but followed Venerable Tiangang into the temple.

"Dangdangdang..."

As soon as he entered the temple, the temple that seemed quaint and dilapidated at first suddenly came alive in front of Lin Beixuan's eyes. Everything in his sight seemed to be wriggling and twisting like an oil painting, with circles of white replacing the surrounding gray.

Although it was not the first time that Lin Beixuan had seen this miraculous scene in the Tiangang Temple, he still couldn't help being shocked.

"Hoo ho ho..."

Suddenly, a broom with two big bun-shaped eyes appeared in front of Lin Beixuan and circled around him, as if it was sweeping away the dust in front of Lin Beixuan.

"Dear guest, please come in!"

After doing all this, the broom moved aside, and the hard broomstick bent down strangely, as if saluting Lin Beixuan.

This attitude is completely different from the last time Lin Beixuan came.

"Cough cough!"

Lin Beixuan coughed twice, straightened his clothes, and stepped in.

"The master knew he was coming."

"I never thought that he could actually get rid of the Xuanhuang Hungry Ghost. But he is only at the Summoning God Realm. How could he do that?"

"No matter what, this man deserves our respect."

"Alas, when we were still alive, we were as dazzling as him!"

……

The bottles and jars around were very active, and the sound of whispers could be heard constantly.

Some were shocked that Lin Beixuan really killed the Xuanhuang hungry ghost and rescued Luozhou from the abyss, while others sighed tactfully, lamenting their bad luck in life and their past setbacks.

The watermelon in the hand of Tiangang Venerable, who was already sitting on the lotus throne, turned into a duster at some point and gently tapped the lotus at his feet.

"Okay, why are you arguing? I've already told you that you will be punished in my temple for 500 years and then I'll let you go. Do you think I'll deceive you?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Lin Beixuan found that the surroundings suddenly became quiet. He didn't know whether it was due to the power of Lord Tiangang or the five hundred years of punishment that the other party had mentioned.

"You don't have to worry about me. I've already broken my vows for you once, and I can't do anything now." Tiangang Zun yawned and said weakly.

Lin Beixuan frowned slightly and said respectfully, "Does the Venerable know how to bring rain to Luozhou after its long drought?"

"You want to pray for rain?"

Venerable Tiangang sat cross-legged on a lotus, like an ancient Buddha, and he pinched his fingers together, as if he had entered a state of concentration.

"That's right!"

Lin Beixuan said in a deep voice: "Although Luozhou is no longer as hot as it was a few years ago with two days in the sky."

"But after so many years of drought, if we want to restore the vitality of Luozhou, we must have water, otherwise Luozhou will still be a dead land."

Tian Gang Zun closed his eyes, shook his head and said, "If you want to pray for rain, you should go to the Rain Master and the Wind Master, not to me."

"Rain Master, Wind Master? Are these two considered major or minor gods? Where are they?" Lin Beixuan asked.

"The Master of Rain is in Xuanzhou, and the Master of Wind is in Shunzhou. If you put the two together, they can be regarded as the great popular gods you mentioned."

Venerable Tiangang recalled in his mind the place where he had defeated Fengbo and Yushi, and thought to himself that it should be correct.

"These two places are too far away from Luozhou!" Lin Beixuan said with a frown.

If the border of Luozhou used to be Qingzhou, then next to Qingzhou were Changzhou and Minzhou. These two states used to be Xuanzhou and Shunzhou, which were the prefectures controlled by successive dynasties.

Even with his current strength, let alone whether he could successfully pass through the two camps of Zi Gu Goddess and Xie Ling Zhenjun, even if he could successfully pass through, it would probably take him more than half a month.

The secular world is much larger than the present world. Including the dynasties, it is about the size of three Xuan Kingdoms. However, Luozhou alone is as large as two or three provinces in the northwest of Xuan Kingdom.

It is obviously impossible to go so far to ask the God of Wind and Rain to bring rain to Luozhou.

Besides, even if Lin Beixuan was willing to go, people might not necessarily come. He did not have any Tai Sui meat to offer to these great secular gods.

"Then it's none of my business."

Venerable Tiangang did not move, and a strong smell of incense rose slowly in the temple. Lin Beixuan only felt that his vision was a little blurry, and he knew that Venerable Tiangang was going to drive people away.

He tried to resist the force that was rejecting him, hoping to learn from it how to pray for rain.

Perhaps seeing Lin Beixuan's persistent attitude, Tiangang Zun sighed. Although it was a childish voice, it was full of vicissitudes.

"I didn't lie to you. I really can't help you. This is the fate of us Xiao Shen. We violated it once decades ago and almost let that thing in. I really don't dare to be so casual again."

"If you really want to restore Luozhou's vitality, then study the Xuanhuang Pagoda carefully!"

"Oh, right. I see that you have already obtained three strands of Samsara Qi. There are still three strands left. Find them quickly. It will be of great benefit to you."

"Now that things have come to this, don't come to me if you have any problems in the future, unless you offer me Tai Sui meat of the same quality as last time."

"But then again, I really don't want to owe you a favor!"

In Lin Beixuan's ears, the voice of Tiangang Zun began to get farther and farther away, like a kite that was gradually stretched, slowly becoming blurred until it disappeared.

Inside the quaint temple, Lin Beixuan opened his eyes and first looked around. He found himself sitting cross-legged on a worn cushion in the temple, with the statue of Tiangang Venerable with his eyes closed opposite him.

After staring at the statue in front of him in silence for a while, Lin Beixuan stood up, bowed, and walked out of the temple.

The last words of Tiangang Zun were still lingering in his ears, so he did not plan to go back to Wangfeng City, but went directly to the place where the Jiutian Xuanhuang Pagoda was originally located.

During the period when Lin Beixuan was unconscious after killing the Xuanhuang hungry ghost, the Jiutian Xuanhuang Tower was blocked by a hundred Beiming Army soldiers arranged by the Fox Spirit God, and they worked day and night, rotating every day.

The Jiutian Xuanhuang Tower ranks seventh in the Weapon Legend Atlas. Even in the vast secular world, it can be regarded as a top-notch divine object.

It is impossible to say that the secular gods in Luozhou do not covet it and have no intention of claiming it as their own.

After their injuries healed, the common gods of Luozhou each came to the Jiutian Xuanhuang Pagoda, wanting to refine this national-level treasure and make it their own property.

Yet without exception, they all failed.

The Nine Heavens Mysterious Yellow Pagoda didn't even look at them, so the Luozhou secular gods couldn't even enter the first floor. After persisting for a while, the Luozhou secular gods gave up.

When Lin Beixuan arrived at the location of the Jiutian Xuanhuang Tower, he saw more than a hundred soldiers surrounding the tower in a circle, encircling the Jiutian Xuanhuang Tower.

"General!"

Guan Shuo’s best friend, Lai Tou, is in the team that recently changed the defense tower, and he is even the superior.

Because of his heroic performance in the Battle of the Starving Ghosts, he was awarded two medals, just like Guan Shuo.

At this moment, the two medals were worn on his lapel, which were both a symbol of honor and a symbol of status.

The bald man saluted Lin Beixuan, and at the same time took out a mirror from his arms and reflected Lin Beixuan's face in it.

Lin Beixuan noticed the bald man's action and said calmly, "Did the Fox Spirit God give it to you?"

The bald man scratched his head awkwardly, and after confirming that it was his own general, he took back the mirror angrily.

"I'm really sorry, General. This is a necessary procedure."

"Lord Hu gave me this mirror to prevent ghosts and evil spirits from impersonating you and entering the Nine Heavens Mysterious Yellow Pagoda. It can detect the true and false of yin and yang."

"And hang a token of the secular god in front of the Xuanhuang Pagoda. If there is any unusual movement, Lord Hu will know immediately."

Lin Beixuan smiled and nodded, not caring about it.

The importance of the Jiutian Xuanhuang Tower is self-evident. Even though Luozhou is now under the control of the Beiming Army, the Fox Spirit God still dares not be careless.

"Thank you for your hard work."

After Lin Beixuan signaled to the Beiming Army on duty, he went straight to the Jiutian Xuanhuang Pagoda.

Looking at the golden and glazed body of the Xuanhuang Tower, Lin Beixuan sighed.

How could he not have imagined that those few small pieces of tower fragments would eventually become so huge.

"A normal Nine Heavens Mysterious Yellow Pagoda wouldn't look like this, otherwise the geomancer wouldn't have brought it from Jingzhou."

"It should be that the Xuanhuang Tower itself has activated some kind of protection mechanism?" Lin Beixuan guessed secretly in his heart.

He took a few steps forward and came to the closed door of Xuanhuang Tower. He placed his hands on the door and gradually exerted force.

However, no matter how hard he tried, the tower gate did not move at all.

Lin Beixuan frowned and tried to retract his strength. With his current strength, his strength should be at least over ten thousand pounds, but he couldn't even open the door.

And this door should be more than that, because he tried to use various abilities under his control, but the result was like a drop in the ocean, disappearing in front of the door.

"No wonder all the Luozhou gods returned empty-handed. Even I can't do anything about this tower."

"At the beginning, whether it was me or the Xuanhuang Hungry Ghost, I'm afraid that we were unable to fully utilize the power of the Nine Heavens Xuanhuang Pagoda."

Lin Beixuan took a few steps back and looked at the Nine Heavens Profound Yellow Tower from bottom to top. After a long while, he still couldn't think of any solution.

"It seems I still need to ask someone."

As he spoke, a faint light suddenly appeared under Lin Beixuan's feet, forming a magic circle that connected to the underworld. Wrapped in thick fog, a door rose from the ground.

The door opened and an old man came out curiously with a raised eyebrow.

When he saw Lin Beixuan, his pupils immediately opened and he saluted, "Long time no see, sir, how are you?"

Lin Beixuan just glanced at the geomancer and said calmly: "I asked you to come out because I wanted to ask you about the Nine Heavens Profound Yellow Pagoda."

Lin Beixuan stretched out his finger and pointed at the huge Nine Heavens Profound Yellow Tower in front of him.

Ge Hong turned his head, and only then did he react. Looking at the Jiutian Xuanhuang Pagoda that was sparkling with glazed light in the sun, his eyes seemed to be lost in memories.

He did not try to hide anything and said truthfully, "The Nine Heavens Mysterious Yellow Pagoda was originally the sacred object of the founding ancestor of our dynasty. It has been placed deep in the Wanhua Pavilion, together with the Sweeping Cloud Robe and the Golden Cloud Crown."

"It has spirituality, so it should be possible to communicate with it. Now it has become like this, there must be something wrong with the tower spirit, and the tower has been sealed!"

"Seal the tower?"

Lin Beixuan was a little confused. There was no doubt that the Jiutian Xuanhuang Pagoda possessed its own spirituality, but what was the matter with sealing the pagoda?

After Ge Hong died, he calmed down a lot and patiently explained: "At first, I wanted to use the Nine Heavens Mysterious Yellow Pagoda to reshape the dragon vein, but it was dispersed by the earth energy of Luozhou, and the fragments were scattered everywhere. I think this should be the reason."

"Sir, do you want to take this Xuanhuang Pagoda?" Ge Hong stared at Lin Beixuan.

Ge Hong thought he had calculated Lin Beixuan correctly and released him just to conquer the Nine Heavens Profound Yellow Pagoda.

However, the result was beyond his expectations.

Lin Beixuan looked back at Ge Hong and shook his head lightly.

Ge Hong stared at Lin Beixuan's eyes for a long time, and saw that those dark eyes did not flicker at all.

Lin Beixuan said calmly: "The Nine Heavens Profound Yellow Pagoda may be precious, but it is not something I covet. I want to use it to restore Luozhou to its vitality."

Upon hearing this, Ge Hong froze in place, looking at Lin Beixuan in disbelief.

"My Lord, don't you want to use the Nine Heavens Mysterious Yellow Pagoda to imitate Taizu and fight for the world?"

During the time he was imprisoned in the underworld, he was not tortured like other prisoners in the knife mountain and skinning hell, but became a wandering ghost and settled in the city of the dead.

In this regard, he gradually learned from some ghost soldiers guarding the underworld that this vast underworld world was actually Lin Beixuan's divine realm.

Now that he was summoned out, he saw the soldiers around Lin Beixuan who were full of murderous aura, and he couldn't guess what Lin Beixuan was thinking.

However, Lin Beixuan's answer left him stunned.

Listening to Ge Hong's words, Lin Beixuan shook his head unhappily and said with a smile: "Although I have some ideas about this Nine Heavens Profound Yellow Pagoda, I really don't want to use it in war. Your words have reminded me of this."

Ge Hong's face darkened when he heard this.

Seeing this, Lin Beixuan waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's get down to business. Do you have any solution to this problem? I will use it to deal with the mess you left behind."

When he said the last sentence, Lin Beixuan's eyes turned cold and full of murderous intent.

Although Ge Hong was a human immortal who had fallen into a certain realm during his lifetime, he is now dead and is only slightly stronger than an ordinary ghost.

In Lin Beixuan's murderous aura, his soul and body convulsed and began to shake constantly. He seemed to have fallen into an abyss of extreme darkness. He could neither see nor hear anything, and in his mind there were only the faces of countless people in Luozhou who had died tragically because of him.

"wake up!"

Suddenly, a cold voice was heard, and Ge Hong felt that his vision had been restored. The pain from his soul receded like a tide.

He stared blankly at the figure standing in front of the Jiutian Xuanhuang Tower with his back to him.

Lin Beixuan's voice came again: "Can it be solved?"

Ge Hong's soul trembled, he bent down and bowed, his tone was weak.

"can!"
