Secular world: My destiny has no taboos

Chapter 46: Infant Spirit - Li Pingan

The old beggar held Pei Juan's gradually cooling body, tears falling one by one. He wanted to cry without restraint, but a person who was so sad to the extreme could not even make a sound.

A corner of the night sky was opened, and some starlight was shining through.

Lin Beixuan stood there in a daze, looking at the dead Pei Juan, looking at the wisp of green smoke that completely merged into the world, and then, he looked around him.

Taoist Akagi is dead, Pei Juan is dead, and the two people who restrained and controlled Madam Li and the infant spirit are no longer here.

The chains slowly loosened the baby spirit, but the baby spirit was still crying, and its chubby little hands kept reaching out to Madam Li who was burning in the flames.

The blue-green flame is different from ordinary fire. It is a netherworld fire that can cause damage to evil spirits.

At this time, Madam Li's whole body was wrapped in flames, causing her pain and harm every moment, and her frail soul seemed to be about to disappear.

But Madam Li did not cry out at all, instead she smiled in the flames.

She stretched out a finger and waved it in front of the baby spirit, and the baby spirit obediently looked at the finger that had become transparent due to the burning of the flames.

Madam Li pointed at Lin Beixuan and babbled to the baby spirit.

The communication was very brief, and Lin Beixuan could not understand what Madam Li was saying to the infant spirit, but he could see that Madam Li's soul was becoming increasingly thinner.

till the end.

Madam Li looked at the baby spirit with a smile, nodded with satisfaction, and uttered a faint "hmm".

There was a faint fragrance in the air, like the rouge and powder that women often use, fresh and elegant.

The flames gradually died down. Without fuel, even the Hellfire could no longer burn in the world.

At this time, there was no trace of Madam Li in front of him. She was like a helpless dead leaf, and she could only go wherever the wind took her.

Lin Beixuan silently bent down and picked up a small piece of rouge on the ground.

[You killed the ghost mother - Li Qingyu, successfully saved her soul, and obtained 50 years old coins. ]

[You killed the ghost mother and obtained the item dropped by the ghost mother after her death: Rouge.]

It seemed that any evil spirit he killed would drop something from its body, of course, things like the Wushi evil spirits that had nothing and died of starvation did not count.

These things are the essence of evil spirits, and are also the main ingredients for making soul-chasing incense, which allows him to travel between the mundane world and the living world without loss.

However, when Lin Beixuan picked up the small piece of rouge, he had no intention of making it into soul-chasing incense.

There is no doubt that Madam Li is a bloody evil spirit. Everyone in the Ruan family, whether innocent or guilty, died at her hands.

But one has to admit that Madam Li is a good mother and her behavior is controlled by Pei Juan.

Lin Beixuan couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart, so he simply tore off a piece of cloth from his body, wrapped the rouge, and hung it on the cloth belt around his waist.

The mansion behind him disappeared after Madam Li's death. Apart from the majesty he displayed for a moment, it was as if he had never been there and no trace was left.

This mansion is somewhat similar to the gate behind the old beggar when he performed the sword technique, but there is a huge difference in essence. The mansion behind him is far more majestic and magnificent than the old beggar's.

And it's spacious.

Lin Beixuan didn’t know what that thing was or why it appeared, so he had to ask the old beggar.

Now that the Ruan family he hated was destroyed, the people and ghosts who caused the trouble were dead, and there were many incredible gains, it should be a happy occasion, but Lin Beixuan was in a depressed mood and couldn't be happy. He looked at the old beggar and saw that after crying, he trembled and picked up Pei Juan's body and walked out of the Ruan family.

Lin Beixuan sighed and followed, passing by corpses everywhere, feeling mixed emotions.

If it weren't for his special mechanism, he would have been nothing more than a corpse on his first day in the world.

During the few days he spent in the secular world, he saw more corpses than he had seen in his entire life in the mortal world.

The crowing of a rooster was heard in the distance. Lin Beixuan just raised his head to take a look at the sky when he felt an inexplicable coldness on his shoulder. Turning his head, he found that the baby spirit had followed him without him noticing.

Ghosts are mainly nourished by Yin energy, and they hate things with extremely strong Yang energy the most, including roosters.

In the secular world, on a small scale, the rooster is often one of the representative animals with extremely strong yang energy, and there is something extraordinary in it. On a large scale, the rooster is not without a backer. Among the twelve secular gods, there is also a star official who controls the priesthood and is the most powerful against ghosts and evil spirits.

At this time, hearing the crowing of a rooster in the distance, the infant spirit was so scared that it involuntarily moved towards Lin Beixuan.

"What are you following me for?"

Seeing the infant spirit approaching him, Lin Beixuan immediately stepped back cautiously. He knew how powerful the infant spirit was. Although it was only in the form of an infant, its strength was far beyond that of ordinary resentful spirits.

"Ah?" The baby spirit tilted its head, looking as if it didn't understand.

Lin Beixuan was too lazy to care about it and wanted to speed up and leave, but the baby spirit looked dazed. No matter what Lin Beixuan said, it always followed him, as if it was determined to follow him to the end.

After going around in circles, Lin Beixuan compromised.

He remembered that when Madam Li died, she was talking to the baby spirit in babbling voices, and wondered if she wanted the baby spirit to stay with her from now on.

Looking at the confused infant spirit floating in front of him, Lin Beixuan sighed.

It seems very likely!

The old lady of the Ruan family sacrificed the entire Ruan family's blood for this infant spirit. Even Taoist Akagi tried every means to control the infant spirit's body, but he didn't expect that in the end he would get the advantage.

What a trick.

Lin Beixuan touched his chin. It was also good this way. He hoped to be a magician in the future. Wouldn’t it be more in line with the magician’s temperament to have a little ghost by his side?

Thinking of this, Lin Beixuan looked at the infant spirit with a different look, as if he was meeting his own son.

"Your mother's surname is Li, so I'll give you a name. Let's call you Ping'an." Lin Beixuan smiled and patted the baby spirit's head.

The baby spirit opened its eyes wide and circled around Lin Beixuan. It was born not long ago and was still confused. It didn't understand what Lin Beixuan was saying. It just remembered what its mother had told it and nodded as if it understood.

"Then it's settled. Li Ping'an, be safe and sound."

Lin Beixuan let the baby spirit lie on his shoulder and left the Ruan family before dawn.

It was still the dilapidated land temple. Because few people usually passed by here, Lin Beixuan used it as his temporary hideout.

But when he entered the temple, he was surprised to find that the temple, which was originally covered with dust and had randomly placed debris, had been cleaned up, and incense had been re-lit on the altar in front of the statue.

Lin Beixuan was greatly surprised and turned his gaze to a thin figure kneeling on the ground in front of the altar.

"village head?"
