Secular world: My destiny has no taboos

Chapter 74: Wild City God
“Is there a City God Temple in the mountains?”

Lin Beixuan walked to the front of the temple and stared at the plaque on the temple in confusion.

The City God Temple is different from the Land God Temple. It is a human-god that enjoys orthodox folk worship. It even has a place in Taoism. It can also be regarded as a local official in the underworld, in charge of some underworld affairs, which is equivalent to the position of mayor in this world.

Moreover, the City God Temple must be built by imperial decree. Ordinary people have no right to build such temples. If they find out, they will be escorted to the government to work.

Especially in the period when the imperial court still existed in the secular world, the City God often represented a place and only people with great merits could take over the city. He was also the cause of many parades.

But such a powerful figure is actually located in the mountains, so desolate and dilapidated that it is even worse than the land temple in Sun Kaoyi. At least there is an old beggar worshipping him.

Judging from the desolate state of the area in front of the temple, it is obvious that few people have visited this City God Temple.

"Do you want to go in?"

As the saying goes, one person does not enter a temple, two people do not look into a well, three people do not hug a tree, and four people do not look back.

When a person enters a temple, he may encounter something unclean, especially in the secular world where evil spirits are prevalent. The meaning of temples is kept secret and ordinary people only know that there are incense sticks in temples, but they don't know what is being worshipped inside.

Besides, there were ghost lights outside the temple, which looked not very formal. Lin Beixuan quickly made up his mind and left the City God Temple with the baby spirit.

As long as you don't go in, danger won't come to you so easily.

Not long after Lin Beixuan left, the gate of the City God Temple, which had been tightly closed, suddenly opened, revealing the scenery inside the temple. It was a magnificent, golden, and incense-filled scene, in stark contrast to the desolate and dilapidated appearance on the surface.

After the temple door opened, a gust of cold wind blew out from inside, and two monsters with ugly faces, purple skin, knotted muscles and two hands walked out from inside.

The two monsters, one holding a ghost flag and the other holding a golden halberd, stood on both sides of the temple, staring straight into the dark corners in the night.

Soon, a majestic voice was heard from the temple.

"The hour of midnight has arrived. Those who are interested may enter the temple and listen to the teachings."

As soon as the words fell, rustling noises could be heard from all directions in the forest.

A gorgeous tiger stepped out first, followed by several human minions serving on its left and right. Not long after, an old wolf with one eye blind came staggering over, as if it had drunk fake wine.

After the tiger and the wolf entered the temple, many animals that had become spirits in the mountains came here one after another. Later, there were also vengeful spirits of humans who were unwilling to die. They still retained their appearance before death, respectfully bowed to the two door gods beside the temple and walked in.

Deep in the mountains and old forests, the seemingly desolate City God Temple was suddenly crowded with pilgrims. Different animals did not fight and devour each other as they did in the past. Instead, they behaved well here. They went into the temple to worship the gods inside and listened to the statues speak.

The incense in the temple was rising, covering the ferocious face of the statue. Its believers either held a long incense stick in their claws or mouths, lit it in the fire in front of the statue, and placed it in the incense burner devoutly.

Quiet, peaceful, yet indescribably weird.

……

Lin Beixuan finally found a cave that he could live in on a rocky mountain. There used to be a black bear living in the cave, but after Lin Beixuan punched the black bear, it was beaten black and blue and left its home in shame.

After occupying the cave, he immediately lit a fire to drive away the snakes, insects, rats and ants hiding inside, called the baby spirit to his side, and explained to it.

"I'll take a break. You'll guard for me tonight. If you encounter a strong enemy that you can't resist, take my things and run away. Come back to me the next day."

It would be fine if I died, but if the Ghost Hall or the soul-chasing incense that I worked so hard to make were lost, it would be a huge loss.

Therefore, it is better to let the infant spirit not care too much about its own life and focus on keeping the things.

"Ah..." The infant spirit nodded thoughtfully after hearing that, and sat at the entrance of the cave with his arms folded, vowing that he would definitely guard Lin Beixuan.

Lin Beixuan smiled and touched the baby spirit's head. Then he gave a few more instructions and lit the soul-chasing incense in the cave.

Secular people do not believe in worldly gods and have no gods to worship, so they have to worship themselves.

After smoking a cigarette, Lin Beixuan lost his breath.

……

Los Angeles University men's dormitory.

Lin Beixuan got up earlier than usual today, and it was not yet fully light when he opened his eyes.

I have to say that the secular world cured his habit of staying up late. He goes to bed on time every day and wakes up full of energy the next day.

Looking at the time, it was not yet time for class. With nothing to do for the time being, Lin Beixuan lay on the bed and started browsing his phone.

It was still the familiar group, but this time the popular post was pushed down by the Los Angeles theft case.

[Does anyone know who did this? This is too much. Before, they only stole from major suppliers. How come even small households like mine are starting to steal things? I just saved up money to buy 4090! ]

[If you ask me, this guy is not a decent person for doing this. It’s fine if you steal, but why did you steal from our family? This is a bit of a loser. ]

[I beg you to be kind and return my burial utensils to me. I spent a lot of effort in the secular world to get them. Family members should not mess with their own family members! ]

[It was probably done by some crazy boss who wanted to create chaos before his own death. ]

……

As soon as I opened the website, I saw the news about the collective theft in the homes of the secular princes in Los Angeles.

In addition to Luo Chengsu Shizi who posted the accusation, there were also many people from other provinces of Xuan Country who were watching the fun and mocking Luo Chengsu Shizi's incompetence.

This behavior added fuel to the fire of the worldly princes of Los Angeles, who were already furious, and they began to curse at the worldly princes of other cities.

"This thief has made such a big fuss. He doesn't even regard the secular people of Luocheng as human beings!" Lin Beixuan thought to himself.

I don’t know if any of the Los Angeles officials have been robbed. If even the officials have been harmed, how powerful must the other party be?
Wait... I'm also a secular boy, he wouldn't steal from me too, would he?

Lin Beixuan's face turned pale and he immediately got out of bed, washed up and rushed to the store.

After becoming a secular son, the place he often stayed in was Fu Sheng Xiao Ji, where the smell of his secular world was the strongest. Since the thieves could accurately target the secular sons hiding in Luo City, it meant that the other party could bypass the ancient artifacts that concealed the smell of the secular sons and find out their specific location.

One night, the whole city.

This ability is simply extraordinary!

When he opened the locked door of Fusheng Xiaoji, what Lin Beixuan was worried about happened.

At this time, all the retail goods in the store were sold out and disappeared from where they were originally located, without even a trace left.

This is too much, absolutely too much. Even if you are a big boss, you shouldn't treat a newcomer like this!
