Secular world: My destiny has no taboos

Chapter 441 Chapter 451: Transit in this world?
The souls of those old people were tied up by the underworld with soul-catching chains.

It’s not because these old people did evil things in their lives, but because their souls are too light and scattered, and they will almost float away with the wind, so it is more convenient to tie them up with chains.

Xing Liang just watched as a group of ghosts caught the souls of a group of old people and slowly left, and walked back into the continuous dark fog that suddenly rose.

Not long after, everything returned to calm, and Lin Beixuan came in front of Xing Liang with the eaves beast behind him.

"Did you see everything?!" Lin Beixuan's voice rang out in the night, and his arrival attracted everyone's attention.

"Master!" The patrol team led by Xing Liang hurriedly saluted and shouted.

Lin Beixuan smiled and waved his hand, looking at Xing Liang with a bit of inquiry and deep meaning.

Xing Liang frowned slightly, thinking about the scene just now. He didn't know how to answer for a moment, so he just nodded as a response.

Lin Beixuan's eyes swept over Zhang He who was not far away again. He just smiled and said nothing more, letting Xing Liang and others continue patrolling.

When he discovered that Xing Liang and Zhang He could see the Yin Cha, an idea suddenly came to Lin Beixuan's mind.

That is to set up another team outside the Beiming Army, specifically to contact and manage matters such as the ghost messengers going to the world of the living to capture the souls of the dead.

Because in addition to practitioners, some special mortals may also happen to see the scene of the evil spirits taking souls by chance, which is bound to cause some trouble.

"But there is no need to worry at the moment. The total population of Luozhou is less than one million. With such a small population, even if elderly people pass away every day, there won't be many deaths."

While Lin Beixuan was thinking, he had already arrived in front of a tent. Outside the tent was strictly guarded by the Beiming Army. There was a dim candlelight inside, and the light emitted reflected people on the tent.

The Beiming Army soldiers who were guarding outside were stunned for a moment when they saw that the person coming was Lin Beixuan. Then someone went in to report. Not long after, Shen Tingmiao came out wearing a yellow jacket.

This scene was somewhat similar to the first time Lin Beixuan saw her at the city gate, except that Shen Tingmiao looked more mature at this time.

Her injuries had not yet fully healed, and could be seen through the white gauze wrapped around the back of her jacket.

"You're back! Why didn't you tell me in advance!" Shen Tingmiao took Lin Beixuan into the tent. There were quite a few people inside, almost all of them were his acquaintances.

Huangxian, Huixian, some leaders of Qingyun Village...even Hu Miao are here.

Seeing Hu Miao and the others standing up to greet him, Lin Beixuan raised his eyebrows and asked, "How is the situation with Fox Spirit God?"

"Everything is fine. The ancestor guessed that you would bring a lot of people back to Luozhou, so he arranged in advance for me to lead some fox fairies to meet them." Hu Miao was still wearing the same crimson dress, giving people a dignified and steady feeling.

Lin Beixuan nodded. After he took control of Luozhou, there was actually always an extreme shortage of personnel.

Even though the Beiming Army has emerged from a sea of blood and corpses with extraordinary combat power, the talents they actually have in management are actually very scarce.

Moreover, even the Beiming Army is in a state of transition, with no fresh influx of soldiers. Once a loss occurs, it will be very painful.

Among them, Hu Xian from Sheshan helped him a lot. When he left, he began to gradually arrange to restore the towns on the border of Luozhou and settled some people on the border.

Lin Beixuan remembered all of this and said to Hu Miao, "Thank you for your help!"

Hu Miao's face showed no strangeness: "Everything is as it should be. We gathered together to discuss where these people should be placed."

"Since the Lord of the Mansion has returned, it is up to you to decide!"

Hu Miao slowly moved aside, revealing the Luozhou sand table built by Sheshan behind him.

This sand table has carved out every road, river, and rock in Luozhou in detail, and even the collapsed town has been restored one-to-one. It is simply a miniature version of Luozhou.

Lin Beixuan walked forward and found a chair to sit down. People around him also sat down, all with their eyes fixed on Lin Beixuan.

"Where did you discuss before?"

Ninth Aunt narrowed her eyes, looked at Lin Beixuan, and replied: "We have some disagreements."

"I took a quick look at the map of Luozhou and thought about settling the people brought out of Anle County in nearby towns."

"Why?" Lin Beixuan asked.

"In my opinion, the biggest threats to us right now are the Evil Spirit Master and the Purple Goddess. If we concentrate all our personnel in a central area like Wangfeng City in Luozhou, it is very likely that the border of Luozhou will be invaded by the other side without us even noticing, and by the time we react it will be too late."

Ninth Aunt's words almost represent the stance of the two immortals, Gray and Yellow.

For some reason, after they met Hu Miao, who represented Hu Xian, they consciously put aside their past grudges and formed a united front.

The five great immortals have always been at odds with each other.

Now Lin Beixuan has recruited three of them, leaving only Bai Xian and Liu Xian.

Luozhou is Hu Xian's home court, which makes them unite involuntarily.

And their reasons were very reasonable. Lin Beixuan cut off one of the arms of Evil Spirit True Lord, and with the relationship with Dog Skin Taoist, the two sides were almost confirmed to be mortal enemies.

In addition, the attitude of Zi Gu God is vague, but how can he be a good person who allows his subordinates to massacre the city?
Therefore, the two immortals Huihuang in Anle County are extremely wary of the Evil Spirit Lord and the Zigu God.

If the location is placed in the middle of Luozhou, it would be difficult to react to any action taken by either side.

"What Aunt Nine said makes sense." Lin Beixuan tapped his fingers lightly on the table in front of him and scanned the sand table with his eyes.

"So your idea is to place the location in Yellow Bird City?"

Ninth Aunt's eyes brightened a little, and she nodded and said, "Yes, this position is relatively high, and we can clearly see the troops sent by True Lord Xie Ling and God Zi Gu from Qingzhou."

Lin Beixuan looked at the miniature building representing Huangque City on the sand table and fell into deep thought.

It is indeed as Grandma Jiu said, this location is very good, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Occupying the high ground, one can see most of the areas in the southeast direction. If the Evil Spirit Lord and Zi Gu God make any big moves, they will be noticed.

But... although this place is good, if it is surrounded, it will easily become an isolated city.

Because behind Huangque City there is no way out, but a cliff.

Lin Beixuan thought about it, then looked at Hu Miao.

"Where is your disagreement?"

Hu Miao noticed Lin Beixuan's gaze, sat upright in his seat, and spoke calmly.

"My ancestor did not intend to gather everyone and settle them in Wangfeng City. Instead, he wanted to use Wangfeng City as a base and then spread out, leaving some people and defenders in each city to first develop steadily and accumulate strength, and vigorously promote childbirth."

"Wait until the first batch of newborns are born in two years, and Luozhou's energy recovers a bit, then we'll start planning our attack."

Hu Xian wanted to play it safe, while Hui Xian and Huang Xian wanted to find opportunities to fight back in adversity.

Lin Beixuan could understand the thoughts of both sides, but the only thing he could not understand was why the two sides suddenly became hostile to each other.

Logically speaking, Hu Xian and Hui Huang Xian had just met, right?

Lin Beixuan didn't quite understand the relationship between the five immortals at this time, and just thought that since they were ranked together, the relationship between the five immortals should be similar to that of the Five Rats. But who would have thought that the two immortals, Huang Liu, fought to the death, and the Gray Immortal who joined Haierzhuang later also didn't get along with the Yellow Immortal at first.

Now that they have come to Luozhou, the two weak forces from Qingzhou might as well join forces to fight against Hu Xian, a local of Luozhou.

Lin Beixuan pondered for a moment, his eyes moving slowly on the sand table, first stopping at Huangque City, and then scanning the big cities in central Luozhou.

He weighed the suggestions of Ninth Aunt and Hu Miao in his mind, frowning slightly.

"Grandma Jiu's suggestion makes sense. Huangque City is indeed a good observation point to observe the enemy's movements..."

When Aunt Jiu listened to Lin Beixuan's words, her beautiful eyebrows raised and she looked at Hu Miao with her narrow eyes, revealing a provocative expression.

However, she didn't continue this action for long before she was stopped by Lin Beixuan's next words.

"But what Hu Miao said is not wrong. Luozhou is sparsely populated now. If we concentrate all our forces in Huangque City, we will be surrounded and easily trapped in a situation where we are surrounded by enemies on all sides."

Upon hearing this, Aunt Jiu glanced at Lin Beixuan with some displeasure, but she did not refute him. She just waited quietly for Lin Beixuan's next words.

Hu Miao remained calm, with a disinterested look, as if she didn't care as long as it was Lin Beixuan's decision.

Lin Beixuan continued: "I think we can adopt a compromise solution."

"Use Huangque City as the outpost and station some elite forces to monitor the movements of Xieling Zhenjun and Zigu Shen."

"At the same time, we will expand inwards from Zhang Village to the surrounding areas, forming a line with Wangfeng City, training new soldiers and developing the population."

"This way, we can ensure that intelligence from the front line is transmitted in a timely manner, and that there are sufficient resources and manpower support in the rear."

After Lin Beixuan finished speaking, everyone in the tent looked at each other in confusion.

"Master, where is Zhang Village?" A strange leader from Qingyun Village asked curiously, tilting his head.

He looked at the sand table for a long time but didn't see the city marked with Zhangcun.

Others had similar ideas to this alien leader.

Zhangcun, how many people can a village accommodate? Are there walls and fortifications to resist the enemy?
"Zhangcun?!"

On the other hand, Hu Miao's eyes lit up when he heard the place name.

Her eyes quickly locked onto an inconspicuous corner on the sand table.

Zhang Village is a village that you will encounter shortly after entering Luozhou. It is located behind Huangque City, which is equivalent to the gap between the two mountains behind Huangque City. It is surrounded by mountains and rivers and has a relatively advantageous geographical location.

Behind Zhang Village are Pingyang County and Shankou Village...which just happens to form a straight line with Wangfeng City.

In the future, if the Huangque City outpost is fast, this straight line can be fully mobilized to ensure the entire resource transportation and troop mobilization.

"The Lord thinks more deeply than us!" At this moment even Hu Miao couldn't help but sigh in admiration.

There is no doubt that in her mind, Lin Beixuan's plan is more perfect than the plan formulated by her own ancestor.

"Regarding the arrangements made by the Lord of the Mansion, the Huxian clan has been fully cooperating from beginning to end."

When saying this, Hu Miao looked at Grandma Jiu with an inexplicable smile.

Upon seeing this, Grandma Jiu rolled her eyes upwards. Although her current realm had surpassed that of the Yellow Immortal Ancestor and was very close to that of an ordinary god, her temperament was still the same as before.

"Since Hu Xian has agreed, we Huang Xian have no objection."

Lin Beixuan then looked at the Gray Immortal Ancestor.

Rat Prince smiled and shrugged, saying that they, the Gray Immortals, had always regarded Lin Beixuan's decision as the standard, and they just had to follow it.

Besides, he really had no intention of getting involved in the fight between the two girls, Hu and Huang.

The strange leaders of Qingyun Village, led by Wu Huo, also agreed. They did not have much culture, and Lin Beixuan was their leader, so naturally what he said was what mattered.

Seeing this, Lin Beixuan felt relieved. He was really worried that the two immortals Hu and Huang would start a fight.

But at least for now, everyone has the same goal, which is to stabilize their families and resist foreign invasion before the chaos begins.

"In that case, it's settled!"

Lin Beixuan stood up, glanced at everyone, and spoke in a firm tone.

"Connect the population from Huangque City to Wangfeng City in a line."

"Huangque City will be guarded by the two immortals Huang Hui and some Beiming troops, while Wangfeng City will be managed by Immortal Hu."

"As for the other villages and cities, I will allocate a reasonable amount of troops and population to ensure that every inch of land along the line is not wasted."

……

Lin Beixuan said a lot in one breath, and everyone responded in unison. The atmosphere in the tent suddenly became much more relaxed.

However, at this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps suddenly sounded, and Xing Liang, who had hurriedly passed by Lin Beixuan before, walked in with a look of horror on his face.

He didn't have time to greet the people in the tent. He looked directly at Lin Beixuan and reported, "Master, for some unknown reason, a thick fog suddenly rose outside the camp. This fog is very strange, and there are all kinds of strange and noisy noises in it."

"I went forward to investigate the edge of the fog and found that the space inside the fog was distorted and broken, as if some huge object was trying to squeeze in."

Lin Beixuan's eyes suddenly opened when he heard this. The scenes described by Xing Liang were exactly the same as the scenes he encountered in the real world.

"It can't be such a coincidence, right? Whatever you think will happen?"

Lin Beixuan strode out of the tent. He possessed extraordinary eyesight, and the dark environment could not block his sight at all, not even the towering tents could block it.

After seeing the thick fog rising from the ground, Lin Beixuan was sure that it was the effect caused by the passage of the secular world.

"This is the first time I've seen the secular world passing through in the secular world. It's never happened before." Lin Beixuan was a little dazed as he watched the mist dissipating in an instant.

A long time ago, he had asked Ninth Aunt and the Fox Spirit God whether they had ever seen a fog that could travel through space.

However, the other party's answer was unanimous.

This made Lin Beixuan suspect for a time that only the present world could trigger the transit of the secular world, and those ghosts and monsters that mistakenly entered the present world were actually transferred to the present world under unknown conditions.

But now it appears that things have changed.

Not only are the transits in this world intensifying, but even the secular world has begun to become denser.
