Secular world: My destiny has no taboos

Chapter 49: The Place of Transit in the Secular World

The wind blew into the largest funeral shop on Baishi Street, and the soul-guiding banners and white paper lanterns hanging high made rustling sounds.

Liu Fei looked at Lin Beixuan, who still had a calm face, and expressed her thoughts: "The Seven Great Halls are the most suitable places for people like us to stay, and they are officially recognized forces. I hope you can think about it carefully. For a newcomer, this would be a very good choice."

She sincerely hoped that Lin Beixuan could join the Liu family, because there were many competitors in the underworld, all of whom were eager to attract the new generation of secular princes to join.

Although the Liu family is in charge of weddings and funerals, there are also areas that they cannot touch, such as burning incense to worship the kitchen god, welcoming the gods and parading, and purifying the five temples and houses, which are not under the Liu family's jurisdiction.

In the current world of upheaval, each family has its own thoughts. Although everyone seems united on the surface, there are some frictions and fights in secret.

Lin Beixuan pondered for a moment and did not answer immediately, but changed the subject.

"Let's talk about what we need to prepare tonight. I'm a newcomer, so I don't want to cause any trouble for you."

Seeing that Lin Beixuan had no intention of making a decision right away, Liu Fei understood very well. Not mentioning it would take some time to consider. Besides, this was a society ruled by law, with the government suppressing everything. Could he force others to join? That would be like becoming a gang.

However, she still expressed her attitude slightly and told Lin Beixuan that the Liu family welcomed him to join at any time.

"The people from Xiangxi will arrive in Luocheng at 12 o'clock tonight. As long as they don't violate their taboos, there is nothing else to worry about."

"As far as I know, there are two taboos in the Xiangxi corpse-carrying tradition."

"The first is to chase three times and not chase three times."

"Those who were beheaded, hanged, or died in a cage can be driven away, but those who died of illness, drowned, or hanged cannot be driven away. This is their taboo."

"The second is the taboos for us laymen, which are relatively simple. First, you cannot blow air on the corpse, second, you cannot call the corpse's name, and third, you are not allowed to break the red string."

"Just remember these taboos and you'll be fine."

Liu Fei gave a brief overview and took out the clothes that had been prepared long ago from the cabinet next to her.

"Remember to change into this set of clothes, otherwise you'll be covered in the stench of corpses when you trade."

Lin Beixuan took it and looked at it, and found that it was just an ordinary black suit, nothing special about it.

Just then, Mr. Maru walked in from outside with a cigarette in his mouth, and he was not afraid that the sparks would set his shop on fire.

He looked at Lin Beixuan: "Have I told you everything I should say?"

"Yeah." Lin Beixuan nodded.

Although he was tricked into coming here today, he did learn a lot and gained a better understanding of the division of power in the world.

Under the influence of the secular world, these developed forces usually operate in secret, just like a lake that looks beautiful on the surface, but in fact there are more beautiful scenery worth exploring, but people outside are not aware of it.

And he was walking towards the lake step by step.

Malu blew out a smoke ring, looked Lin Beixuan up and down, and suddenly laughed: "Let me ask you a question, what do you look like in the secular world?"

"???"

Lin Beixuan frowned slightly, not understanding why Maru suddenly asked such a question.

"Don't mind. I'm just asking as usual. After all, the place where we trade is not in this world, but at the border with the secular world. Your secular body will gradually merge with your real body. Don't be surprised when the time comes."

Lin Beixuan looked at Liu Fei in confusion, only to see the other party nod and continue: "Most of the things we trade are completed during the transit in the secular world, so if you experience any changes in your body, don't be surprised."

Secular Transit! There was information about Secular Transit on the communication group website. This is the place where the secular world and the present world communicate and merge. The bodies of secular children in it will undergo changes.

In fact, Lin Beixuan had already made preparations in this regard when he came. After all, the corpse-driving in Xiangxi is for corpses, and with the comprehensive surveillance in modern society, no one can drive a corpse on the street without being discovered.

Therefore, crossing the border is the most convenient and safest way.

Thinking of this, Lin Beixuan couldn't help but recall the first post he saw. The other party should have taken the photo when passing through the secular world.

After Maru continued to explain some things, it was almost 7 o'clock in the evening. After having dinner in Xiaolang Village, they drove to the border crossing point.

During this time, Lin Beixuan changed into the black clothes and leaned against the car window to watch the scenery passing by outside.

The night in this world is different from that in the secular world. Even when driving on a country drive, there are still bright street lights standing on both sides. You can vaguely see the lights of the villages in the distance, echoing with the stars in the sky.

Liu Fei was introducing the relevant information about the transit point they were going to.

"The transit point we are going to this time is a fixed transit point in the secular world of Luo City. It does not move and has formed a stable space with the real world. Many secular people in Luo City will trade here..."

Lin Beixuan withdrew his gaze and understood what Liu Fei meant.

In other words, this place is actually a ghost market where people like them gather and trade, and it is not exclusive to their Liu family.

Among the secular people in Luocheng, the Liu family is only in charge of weddings and funerals. Other forces will definitely have people developing here. Their businesses are getting bigger and bigger. After they have satisfied the city, they will definitely expand to other cities.

"arrive!"

Maru drove the car to a vacant lot. Lin Beixuan opened the car window and looked around, and found that this was actually an abandoned village. Although there were houses, most of them had been damaged. The surrounding area was overgrown with weeds and there was no sign of human habitation.

Is this the transit point?

Lin Beixuan was speechless. It seemed different from what he had imagined.

In his impression, the ghost market was similar to the antique street, and there should be a lot of people, but at the moment, there was only their car parked here.

"It's almost time, let's go in."

After Malu finished speaking, he asked Lin Beixuan to get out of the car, opened the trunk, took out a suitcase from it and handed it to him. After he was done, he did not forget to give Lin Beixuan a look.

"Don't lose anything, otherwise our trip will be in vain."

Lin Beixuan took the suitcase. It wasn’t too heavy, only about five or six pounds.

Is there money in it? It shouldn't be so light if it's filled with money.

However, although he was confused, Lin Beixuan did not ask at this time. He was mainly here to help carry things, and he would be wrong if he spoke too much.

Time passed slowly, and when it was almost twelve o'clock, a thick fog suddenly rose from the ground in the wilderness. The fog quickly spread and covered the surroundings.

A slight coolness penetrated into Lin Beixuan's skin through the mist, making him feel as if he was in the secular world.

"Dingling bell~"

In a trance, there was a faint sound of ringing bells rang in his ears. Lin Beixuan suddenly looked up towards the direction where the sound came from, only to see that the originally thin fog had become thick and heavy, with figures of people scattered inside, and an illusory ancient monument suddenly appeared in front of several people.

"Here it comes!" Lin Beixuan's heart tightened, and sweat oozed slightly from the palms that were holding the box.
