Secular world: My destiny has no taboos

Chapter 86: Ninth Aunt's Friend
In Los Angeles, in a solemn office.

The middle-aged man with a dignified appearance and a square face slammed his hands on the table, frowned and angrily shouted: "We arranged so many people, but we couldn't even catch a few thieves. Have you brought shame to Luocheng?"

Below, several men with flat heads lowered their heads and dared not speak, allowing the middle-aged man to scold them.

The flat-headed man is named Lu Wenkai. He is the main person in charge of the official capture of the Kongyun Five Rats in Los Angeles. Now that the thieves have not been caught and have all escaped, he is the only one who can take the responsibility.

Zhao Li stood aside, his expression showing no change. He was not from the official Luocheng side, but was affiliated with Shangjing. This time he was sent to Luocheng to help.

He said slowly: "Although this operation failed, we also gained a lot of information from it."

"I originally thought that they were those blind thieves who escaped from the secular world, but I didn't expect them to be the Five Rats of Wealth, Happiness, Fortune, Longevity and Happiness. These Five Rats are the lower branch of the Twelve Secular Gods, and they have a close connection with the Old Man Kong Yun. Their appearance in the real world this time, does it mean that the secular gods have already extended their hands to the real world?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present frowned.

Once the issue of secular gods is involved, it is no small matter. Even the secular director in charge of Los Angeles cannot bear this responsibility.

The middle-aged man looked at Zhao Li and asked, "Is the information confirmed?"

"It is basically certain that I have dealt with the incense burner in the Kongyunsou Temple in the secular world and have seen the statue of the Five Rats, which is similar to what we see today."

"call……"

The middle-aged man looked uncertain and his expression gradually became gloomy.

"If that's the case, then this matter is not just about Los Angeles."

"Yes! We need to dispatch real masters." Zhao Li sighed.

Even though he was very reluctant to admit it, with his current strength, he was not qualified enough to deal with matters involving secular gods.

"Who should we invite then?" Lu Wenkai raised his head and looked at the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man slowly stood up from behind the table, walked to the window sill, and said in silence for a long time: "Longhu Mountain, Zhang Jiling."

…………

That night, Lin Beixuan lay on his comfortable bed, his mind free of distractions.

At this moment, he was completely unaware that a storm had already been set off within the government after the official confirmation of the identities of the Kongyun Five Rats.

He wore headphones on his head, blocking out the constant yelling and cursing from his roommate while he was playing games, and fell asleep peacefully.

earthly world...

[You are baptized by pure air, and your health is restored by +1. ]

Lin Beixuan woke up from the cave, glanced at the extinguished firewood at his feet, stood up from the ground and stretched.

He works 24 hours a day, and his two worlds are constantly running around. Who could be as hardworking as him?

But think about it, no matter which world he is in, as long as he leaves by lighting the soul-chasing incense, he will be in good spirits every time he wakes up.

I checked the cloth bag around my waist and found that the things were intact.

"Ah..." The baby spirit quietly appeared from behind and climbed onto his shoulder.

Lin Beixuan touched the other person's head and said, "Thank you for your hard work!"

After being praised, the baby spirit showed a happy expression, rubbed its cold face against Lin Beixuan's palm, and then crawled into the cloth bag.

After walking out of the cave, Lin Beixuan looked at the sun rising gradually in the east. After identifying the direction, he continued his journey to Anle County.

According to the description of the hunter named Zhang, he should be not far from Anle County now.

The forest in the early morning is very humid. The sun shines through the sparse clouds and covers the earth with a golden veil. The morning breeze blows, the leaves rustle, and the dew on the branches reflects the brilliance of the morning light. In the secular world, this is a new day. Wherever the sun passes, evil spirits flee and hide in the soil. Man-eating beasts will return to their caves to rest, and monsters will linger in the forest to breathe in the morning glow.

Early morning in the secular world is the best time for all things to get fresh air. No one would waste time to make things difficult for a passerby at this time, so Lin Beixuan's journey was very smooth.

After about half a day, they climbed up a hillside, with green grass brushing against their ankles. Lin Beixuan could already see the open gate of the county town not far away.

Anle County is located in the embrace of mountains, with the towering mountains at its back and a winding river in front of it. There are many farmers’ houses and paddy fields on the outskirts, creating a scene of peace and prosperity.

If the starving ghosts from Luozhou had not already arrived at Huangshi Village, he would have almost believed it!

Lin Beixuan shook his head and chuckled, then walked towards the county town at a leisurely pace.

As we approached the city, we saw two lazy runners leaning against the door, holding food boxes in their hands, eating while talking.

It was noon at this time and there were not many people entering the city. Lin Beixuan was walking alone on the avenue, which made him somewhat conspicuous.

When the two officers saw this, they put down their food boxes and stepped forward to block Lin Beixuan's way.

"Pay taxes before entering the city!"

"Taxes?"

Lin Beixuan was stunned and thought about it carefully. He vaguely remembered that in the feudal dynasty, merchants or pedestrians did have to pay to enter the city, so he didn't care about it.

"How much is it?"

The two officers smiled at each other and held up two fingers: "Two taels of silver, and we'll let you go."

Lin Beixuan frowned when he heard this. He had been in the secular world for some time and knew that two taels of silver had considerable purchasing power in today's world, which was equivalent to two thousand yuan in the present world.

Looking at the malicious expressions on the two officers' faces, Lin Beixuan already had a rough idea of what was going on.

This was because they saw that he was unfamiliar and not from the county, and they wanted to take the opportunity to make some money from him.

"Hehe..." Lin Beixuan stared at the two runners and couldn't help but sneered, "This is the first time I've heard that it takes two taels of silver to enter a county town. Are you crazy about money?"

"So what? If you want to enter the city, you have to pay the money. Otherwise, just wait outside until dark." The officer looked indifferent.

"By the way, there's been a yellow disaster in and around the city recently. If you don't go into the city early and find a hotel to stay in, you might be in danger of death at night."

"Yellow disaster?" Lin Beixuan narrowed his eyes. Although he didn't understand what the yellow disaster the other party was talking about, he saw the gloating smiles on the faces of the two officers.

The two men were using this as a threat to force him to give them the money.

Unfortunately, Lin Beixuan was born stubborn. He could tolerate soft or hard treatment, but he just couldn't stand the other person's expression.

"What if I want to go into the city but don't want to pay?"

Upon hearing this, the two officers drew their long swords from their waists and said, "Then we have no choice but to beat you out of here."

Lin Beixuan narrowed his eyes and saw two officers walking towards him with knives in their hands, but he did not retreat even a step. He had killed many zombies and ghosts, and a lot of evil energy had accumulated on his body.

When the two officers approached Lin Beixuan, they suddenly felt a chill all over their bodies, and even had goose bumps. When they looked at Lin Beixuan's eyes from a close distance, they felt a fierce gaze coming at them.

Their hearts skipped a beat and they looked at each other, sweat oozing from their foreheads.

They wouldn't really run into bandits, would they?
The world has been in turmoil in the past two years, and many people have become bandits. Although the young man in front of him doesn't look very old, it's possible that he has been killing and robbing since he was a child.

Just as the two were feeling guilty, a small foot wearing embroidered shoes suddenly reached out from the side and kicked one of them, sending him flying several meters away.

"How dare two little doormen be so rude to my ninth aunt's friend?"
