Secular world: My destiny has no taboos

Chapter 68 068: Impermanence

"Oh oh oh..."

At dawn, when the cocks crowed and the morning light began to appear, a pink halo appeared on the horizon and gradually spread out, casting a layer of golden light on everything.

Lin Beixuan looked at the table filled with soul-chasing incense. He should have been happy, but his face was unexpectedly gloomy.

[You have successfully produced a batch of inferior soul-chasing incense! ]

……

Without exception, these soul-chasing incense sticks are all crooked in shape, gray-black in color, and have no aesthetic appeal at all.

"It must be because of the material!"

"Come again!"

Lin Beixuan turned his gaze to the powder ground by the white-haired roar's sharp claws on the table, and once again started his sacred moment of rubbing incense.

[You have successfully produced a batch of ordinary soul-repelling incense! ]

[Ordinary soul-repelling incense: The workmanship is crude and the appearance is ugly. Unfortunately, most of the evil essence has been lost. The quality has been improved by high-quality raw materials. If it is made by someone who is proficient in incense making, it may be able to achieve a rare quality. ]

"..."

Complaints from the panel?
Lin Beixuan sighed, picked out an ordinary soul-chasing incense and placed it next to it, then silently packed up the rest of his incense and carefully put it into the cloth bag.

These were all the hard work he put in overnight.

Glancing at the gradually brightening sky outside the window, Lin Beixuan placed the long gray-black incense with a hint of white in the corner. He wanted to try the difference between ordinary quality soul-chasing incense and inferior quality ones.

He picked up the fire stick and lit the incense. The gray smoke slowly rose into the air, covering the entire room like a curtain.

Lin Beixuan raised his nose and sniffed, and found that the ordinary quality incense was slightly better than the inferior quality one, without the fishy smell of the inferior quality incense.

Glancing down at my feet, I saw the shadow of the shrine looming, and it had appeared at my feet without me noticing.

Lying back on the bed, thinking about where he should go next in this world, Lin Beixuan suddenly felt sleepy. The dizzy feeling was gone, and his whole body felt comfortable as if he was soaking in warm spring water.

He slowly closed his eyes!

……

Present life, Los Angeles University.

As April approaches, Qingming Festival is almost here, and many vendors have already put a lot of things that are only available on Qingming Festival on their stalls.

Qingtuan, jujube cake, Sanzi and mahua... these are all edible. As for those for our ancestors to enjoy, they are not easy to sell on the streets and must be sold in special stores.

Lin Beixuan squatted on the side of the road, holding a piece of hot green dumpling in his hand. He opened his mouth and took a bite. His mouth was immediately filled with a special fragrance. It was chewy, soft and slightly sweet.

After waking up today, he felt more energetic than ever before, a feeling he had never experienced before, as if all the energy he had lost before had been made up.

"tasty!"

After finishing the remaining green rice dumplings in a few bites, Lin Beixuan clapped his hands, stood up and returned to the store. After a while, two familiar figures walked in.

"Classmate, you are really good at hiding." The middle-aged man in the lead put a list on the counter with an inexplicable smile on his face.

"Ahem, officer, I don't quite understand what you mean." When Lin Beixuan saw the person coming, he raised his eyebrows and pretended to be indifferent.

"Are you still pretending? The criminal officer has already registered your information with the authorities. Naturally, the police officers in charge of this area need to come over and say hello to you."

Jie Jing sneered and looked Lin Beixuan up and down: "Why didn't you tell us your identity directly before? In the end, you went to register with the criminal officer. Logically speaking, these things are not his responsibility."

"An accident, an accident." Lin Beixuan laughed awkwardly. "I don't care if it was an accident or not. Since you have a name in the official system, it means that you haven't done anything out of line in the secular world since you became a secular prince. We won't care about you. Just stay in your place and behave yourself."

Jie Jing took out a piece of ink from his chest pocket and handed the list to Lin Beixuan.

"Fill it out, and then put your hand print on it."

"...I have already explained everything to Officer Zhou. Why do I need to fill in the information?"

Su Hongying frowned and replied, "Although the criminal officer submitted your information, it is still incomplete. We came here to re-verify it."

Lin Beixuan nodded when he heard this and looked at the list in his hand.

The above content is indeed much more complicated than what Zhou Xing asked.

After reading it carefully, Lin Beixuan took out a pen and started filling it out without wasting any words.

Su Hongying looked at Lin Beixuan sitting behind the counter, concentrating on filling out the form, and asked with a somewhat tangled expression, "How have you considered it?"

"???"

Lin Beixuan stopped what he was doing, looked up in surprise, and then reacted.

"You mean joining the official ranks?"

"I haven't thought about it yet. I'm a lazy person and don't like being bound by various rules."

The meaning of the words was already very clear. He did not agree to Zhou Xing's invitation at the beginning because he was worried that there was a trap. Now that someone asked about it again, Lin Beixuan politely refused.

Su Hongying's eyelashes trembled and she looked like she wanted to say something, but she swallowed the words back when they came to her lips.

"I've filled it out."

Lin Beixuan smiled and pressed his fingerprint at the end of the list, then handed it to Jie Jing.

Jie Jing nodded and took the list: "I will contact you later. Since you have the identity of a secular child, I hope you will behave yourself in the future and not be infected by the secular atmosphere and do evil."

After saying that, Jie Jing pulled Su Hongying out of the door. He turned back to look at the newly changed sign above the convenience store, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and lit it. After a puff of smoke, he whispered to Su Hongying.

"Put aside that thought for now. He's just a newcomer. There's no need to let him get involved in this mess."

"I'm sorry, I was impulsive." Su Hongying lowered her head with a lost expression on her face: "I'm just a little angry. Why is it that someone who doesn't want to be a secular prince is chosen, while I have been preparing for so long, but I am always left behind."

"Perhaps this is God's will!" Jie Jing shook his head and sighed, "Don't worry too much about your brother's affairs. What is coming will eventually come. Maybe he doesn't want you to enter the secular world so early."

"The higher-ups are already selecting the candidates and are preparing to have the new secular princes escorted by the older generation to Luozhou. Maybe we can get some information about your brother by then."

"Ah."

Su Hongying looked back at the shop and found that the young boss did not walk out the door and wave to them like last time.

There are many secular people who do not join the official party. Most of them have already joined other forces, so they refuse the official invitation.

The remaining people either have strange personalities and cannot fit into the group, or have lofty ambitions and want to make a career for themselves.

Many officials mockingly gave this type of people nicknames.

"Impermanence".

But nothing is permanent.

Good and evil are uncertain, neither up nor down, born in a moment, floating in the universe like a mayfly, and like floating scum in the vast ocean.
