Secular world: My destiny has no taboos

Chapter 87: Huang Liu and the Two Immortals Separate the County

"How dare you, two gatekeepers, be rude to my ninth aunt's friend?" The voice of the person who came was crisp, like the chirping of an oriole in the ear, and the force of one of her embroidered shoes kicked the officer so hard that he was kicked several meters away.

Lin Beixuan looked over in surprise and saw that the person coming was a little girl wearing a yellow jacket and two pigtails on her head. She had a pretty face and a delicate blush on her nose.

"You are…?"

Lin Beixuan didn't remember having met the other person before, but the name Ninth Aunt sounded somewhat familiar to him.

The little girl walked forward aggressively, raised her foot and kicked another policeman, causing the officer to cover his knee and back away in pain.

When the officer saw who kicked him, he was not angry. Instead, he said in fear, "Miss Shen, please forgive us. We didn't know this person was someone you knew."

"Haha... Just because I'm your acquaintance, you can secretly increase the city tax? And you're still asking for two taels of silver. The bandits in Wumeng Mountain are not as fast as you in robbing money. In my opinion, you should be transferred to the patrol camp to fight the bandits with Cao Laoer and his men."

"Miss Shen, please forgive us. We...we won't dare to do it again!" The two officers shook their heads in horror, and the momentum they had used to embarrass Lin Beixuan before was gone.

They looked at Lin Beixuan for help, as if hoping that Lin Beixuan could plead for them.

However, Lin Beixuan just glanced at them and silently uttered two words.

"clown."

The two officers immediately looked pale, knowing that they could not escape this disaster. They should not have been so greedy and blackmailed the other party just because he was a stranger. They didn't expect to step on a nail.

Going to Wumeng Mountain to fight bandits and fight with those vicious guys, they probably won’t even know how they died.

But then again, the young boy in front of him looked very much like the person who came down from the mountain.

While the two officers were in despair, the little girl's eyes widened and she looked towards Lin Beixuan.

"Welcome Mr. Lin to Anle County. Auntie Jiu often mentioned you to me and said you would definitely come."

"..."

Ninth Aunt!

At this point, Lin Beixuan finally remembered who this name was referring to. It was the yellow fox whose tail he had once broken.

Tsk...it's amazing that you still miss me!

But what does this yellow-skinned man have to do with the little girl in front of me?
Lin Beixuan thought to himself, looking the other person up and down.

He is about 1.5 meters tall, with a chest similar to his back. Apart from the yellow jacket with the word "yellow" on it, he looks very human and doesn't look like a monster.

After killing so many zombies, he now has some experience in distinguishing between humans and evil spirits.

"My name is Shen Tingmiao, and I'm the incense master of the Huangxian Temple." The little girl bowed to Lin Beixuan with a bit of gangster spirit and a bright smile on her face.

Huang's Temple, sending out incense?

Lin Beixuan was slightly surprised. Ever since he knew that the other party was from the Ninth Aunt's side, he had also guessed that the other party might be Huangpizi's disciple. However, he did not expect that the other party was actually a incense master.

In the secular folk, both in the present world and in the secular world, there is the concept of "Chu Ma Xian". Legend has it that some animal immortals who have successfully practiced accept the mission of the righteous gods in heaven to come to the mortal world to save the world and accumulate merits in order to achieve the goal of being listed among the immortals.

Of course, this is to put it mildly.

In fact, some animals have received favors from the current disciples' ancestors or previous lives. After cultivating and becoming spirits, they come to repay the favor and protect the disciples' homes.

Or they may have ulterior motives and make a deal with others, using their own power to gain equivalent benefits in return.

Among the spirit mediums, the most famous are Hu, Huang, Bai, Liu and Hui, collectively known as the Five Major Families.

The yellow here refers to the yellow skin.

The incense leader is the leader of the disciples of a certain Huangxian family. Shen Tingmiao looks like she is only in her teens, but she has become the incense leader.

Lin Beixuan returned the greeting stiffly with his fists clasped, looking at the other party, not knowing what to say.

Strictly speaking, he and Ninth Aunt did not have much of a friendship; rather, they had a grudge against each other. He had even cut off one of her tails, so it was lucky that she did not come to settle the score with him. Now that she was so enthusiastic towards him, he felt a little overwhelmed.

Shen Tingmiao saw Lin Beixuan's reaction and roughly guessed what was going on. She moved aside and gestured with her hand.

"Mr. Lin, please come in."

"Thank you!"

The two men walked into the city one after the other, without even glancing at the anxious servant kneeling at the door.

Some petty officials who have a little power love to bully others by taking advantage of their power. This happens frequently in any world.

If Shen Tingmiao hadn't come, Lin Beixuan would have to spend the night outside the door, which would have been bad luck for him. But now that Shen Tingmiao had come, Lin Beixuan had the opportunity to make her unlucky.

He didn't know where Wumeng Mountain was or how dangerous it was, but since the other party was taking advantage of their power to bully him, what did it have to do with him even if they died on Wumeng Mountain?
Revenge does not take place overnight.

While Lin Beixuan and Shen Tingmiao were talking along the way, he would occasionally mention the two powerful officers.

Shen Tingmiao was not an ignorant person, so she naturally took this matter to heart and planned to arrange for someone to send the two officers to Wumeng Mountain when she returned.

Although the sun was already high in the sky, Anle County was still very lively.

There are shops lining both sides of the street, with hawking sounds coming one after another. Among the bustling crowd, there are hawkers carrying loads on their shoulders, pedestrians in a hurry, and wealthy men with big bellies.

But when they saw Shen Tingmiao, they would unconsciously make way for her.

Lin Beixuan turned his head slightly and became curious about Shen Tingmiao's identity.

It is not normal for a mere incense master to have such a great honor, and didn’t the Ninth Aunt’s family just move from Huangshi Village to Anle County? How could they have established themselves so quickly?

The feudal era is like a melting pot where various cultures converge and merge, and where you can see things that are completely invisible in the modern world.

Passing an intersection, Shen Tingmiao pointed to a restaurant nearby and said, "This is my family's property, and it is also Huang Xian's territory."

She took two more steps and pointed to a rouge and powder shop: "This is it too."

……

After Shen Tingmiao showed Lin Beixuan around, she slowly said, "Mr. Lin just arrived and doesn't know the situation in Anle County yet."

"There are two sects of immortals in Anle County, the Yellow Immortals and the Willow Immortals, each occupying half of the county. Currently, there are some conflicts between the two sects, and they are fighting like fire and water. Mr. Lin had better not go to the area of the tobacco and gambling houses at night."

"Is that Liu Xian's territory over there?" Lin Beixuan remembered that Shen Tingmiao did not introduce these two places to him when they passed by.

"That's right. I'm bringing Master Lin in today and we're probably going to be seen by some filthy fellows. They're definitely going to tell Liu Xian about it. If you rashly enter their territory, it might be bad for you."

Lin Beixuan frowned when he heard this: "Why would a human city in Anle County be taken over by two monsters?"

Although there is a saying in the secular world that people are human during the day and evil spirits are evil at night, it seems that Anle County is now affected by the spirits of the Huang and Liu families both day and night.

This is the first time that Lin Beixuan has seen a human county town affected by the power of monsters. Can the managers tolerate this?

Shen Tingmiao smiled and said, "My father is the county magistrate, and the one worshipped at home is Huang Xian!"
