Then the old village chief brought Lin Beichen to the passage.

"Your faith value is not high now. If you want to expand the influence of Taoism and bring Taoism back to its peak, you must forge a Taoist heart."

"Do you see the passage in front of you?"

When the old village chief thought of the heyday of Taoism, he showed a proud look on his face, but now Taoism has fallen into such a state, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. Taoism had to rely on Lin Beichen to save it, and his appearance beside Lin Beichen was paving the way for Lin Beichen.

Lin Beichen was confused and didn't understand what the village chief meant.

"Village Chief, what is the purpose of this passage? What do you mean by forging the heart of Tao? Please explain it to me. I don't understand it at all."

"This channel is the best way for you to forge your Dao heart."

Lin Beichen still didn't quite understand why he had to build a heart of Tao? Didn't everyone have a heart? What on earth was this heart of Tao?

Do we want him to have two hearts at the same time? This is not realistic.

Or should we say that we should transform his heart into a heart of Tao? Is that so?

"I'm sorry, my understanding is limited. Can you explain to me why we need to build a heart of Tao? Then I will understand."

Lin Beichen asked the village chief again, because the village chief only told him to build a heart of Tao in this passage, but did not tell him what the use of building a heart of Tao would be. He had to figure out these things, because he was very curious and liked to get to the bottom of things.

The old village chief had no intention of telling Lin Beichen about this, so when Lin Beichen asked, he just smiled lightly, quickly formed a seal with his right hand, and Lin Beichen was swept into the passage by an unknown force.

Lin Beichen felt as if he was sucked into a huge whirlpool, and he felt something was wrong. He hadn't figured out what the old village chief was talking about, and he was thrown into the passage. This was too sudden, and he was not prepared at all.

After a dizzy spell, Lin Beichen opened his eyes and found himself on an ancient street.

"Tanghulu, selling Tanghulu!"

"Girls, come and take a look at these jewellery, they are new arrivals and they are still hot!"

"You dare to eat a free meal? You are tired of living, right?! If I run into you again next time, I will punish you!"

I saw two big men throwing a fat man out of the house, cursing at him as they threw him.

The fat man was covered in wounds, obviously because he had no money to pay for his meal and was beaten up.

Lin Beichen saw all of this. There were vendors and shops on both sides of the street, and the street was bustling with people coming and going.

He knew that this was an illusion created by the passage, so he simply calmed down and tried to see if he could cultivate his own Tao heart according to the old village chief's instructions.

Although he didn't understand why the old village chief asked him to do this, he would never go wrong if he listened to the old village chief.

"Catch the thief, someone stole something!"

At this moment, a woman shouted loudly. She was looking at jewelry and wanted to buy one. But when she reached into her waist bag, she found that her wallet was gone. She guessed that it must have been stolen.

She simply shouted out loud, thinking that the thief would be guilty and would panic when hearing this, and might even run away.

Sure enough, as soon as she finished speaking, the thief ran away. Seeing this, Lin Beichen rushed forward and grabbed the thief.

"You stole something and you want to run away?"

"Mind your own business!" After being caught, the thief yelled at Lin Beichen and then wanted to attack him.

But Lin Beichen subdued him in no time.

With the thief's few tricks, he still wanted to fight with Lin Beichen. It was simply wishful thinking.

"Please spare my life, hero. I will never dare to do it again."

The thief saw that he was no match for Lin Beichen and could not escape, and was afraid that Lin Beichen would be ruthless to him, so he began to beg for mercy, asking Lin Beichen not to hurt him, saying that he had no choice but to do so.

"Here, girl, your wallet."

Lin Beichen searched the thief and found the wallet and handed it to the woman.

"Thank you so much for helping me get my wallet back." The woman first expressed her gratitude to Lin Beichen, and then asked the thief why he stole her money.

"I have no choice. I have a sick mother to take care of at home, and I don't know how to make money, so I have to steal your money to buy medicine for my mother. Please, don't report me to the authorities. I will never dare to do that again."

The thief hurriedly explained that stealing was a shameful and dishonorable thing and that he didn't want to do it, but life was too difficult and he had no choice.

When the woman heard him say this, she felt sorry for him, so she took out a silver ingot from her wallet as money to buy the jewelry, and then handed the wallet to the thief.

The thief didn't dare to answer it because Lin Beichen was right next to him and he had just experienced how powerful Lin Beichen was.

"Take it. I volunteered. You look so pitiful. Don't do this again next time. You can earn money through your own labor."

Seeing that the thief was not moving, the woman took the initiative to put the wallet into his hand and told him to earn money through labor in the future. When the thief ran away just now, she saw that the thief was quite agile.

"Thank you."

The thief didn't expect that after he stole someone's wallet, the person not only didn't hold him responsible, but also gave him all the money in the wallet because his family was poor. He was so grateful that he immediately bowed his hands to thank him.

The woman quickly helped him up.

"You're welcome. I'm sure you must be in trouble."

Looking at the kind-hearted girl in front of him, and the thief who was full of gratitude and thanks after being forgiven, Lin Beichen suddenly felt that this illusion was not as bad as he had expected.

Although he was not quite sure why he was brought here, now that he was here, he decided to settle down and feel the local customs and culture.

Compared with the modern times, the ancient fantasy world he was in at the moment made Lin Beichen feel very fresh, and he began to wander aimlessly on the streets.

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"

Seeing the pedestrians on the street avoiding and looking panicked, Lin Beichen couldn't help but feel confused.

The vendors nearby skillfully covered the vegetables and quickly hid in the alleys beside the road. Seeing how skilled they were, Lin Beichen immediately realized that this might not be the first time something like this had happened.

He turned his head and saw a man riding a tall horse galloping in the middle of the road, scaring passers-by to run away.

"What kind of background does this person have? How dare he run rampant on the street so recklessly, totally disregarding the safety of others?"

"This person not only has no manners, but also has no bottom line. He is so despicable!"

Lin Beichen felt annoyed and waved his hand out of habit, and a talisman appeared instantly.

With the appearance of the talisman, an invisible air wall suddenly formed between Lin Beichen and the man.

Lin Beichen couldn't help but reveal a smug smile, and secretly said in his heart: "People who don't know how to respect others will eventually pay the price for their arrogance and ignorance."

As soon as he finished speaking, the man riding a horse galloping on the street bumped into him.

Lin Beichen stared at everything in front of him with a smile on his face.

"Don't blame me. It's your fault that you are so arrogant and domineering, not caring about the people around you at all and rushing around here. I just want to teach you a lesson." Lin Beichen thought silently in his heart.

At this moment, a large horse came galloping over, and in a blink of an eye, both the man and the horse crashed into the air wall, and the man and the horse fell down in an instant. The scene was very exciting.

"Ouch……"

"It hurts so much... You beast, do you want to throw me to death?" The man had a painful expression on his face.

"Pfft..."

When Lin Beichen saw the man's appearance, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

The man was lying on the ground, looking miserable, rubbing his buttocks, unable to get up for a while. The horse was also lying on the ground, neighing continuously.

Perhaps they used too much force and fell heavily.

The man was struggling on the ground, his expression becoming more and more painful, and it seemed that he was seriously injured.

When people on the street saw this scene, they gathered around curiously.

In an instant, people pointed fingers at the man and complained about him.

"Really? Are you so arrogant just riding a horse?"

"That's right. He actually ran rampant on the street. This is his retribution."

"Strange... He was fine, but suddenly he fell down. This is going to be tough for him."

"Who says it's not? He seems to be seriously injured."

The onlookers were talking about what had happened, but no one knew what had happened.

At this moment, the man on horseback fainted completely after struggling for a few times due to his serious injuries.

When the onlookers saw someone faint, they applauded and felt very relieved.

Some people were still talking non-stop, and the scene was very lively.

"Great! Who made him so rude? This is on the street, with people coming and going, and he is still arrogant. Let him learn his lesson now."

"That's absolutely right. I want him to experience how painful it is for the person he just hit."

"You'll know once you experience it yourself. Now he's fainted, I wonder who will save him."

Lin Beichen stood aside, listening to everyone talking.

Seeing this scene, he also wanted to go over and take a look at who this man who had aroused public outrage was.

Lin Beichen shook his head helplessly and was about to show up and walk over.

Then I heard a voice from a distance: "Get out of the way... Get out of the way..."

"Don't stand here and watch. There's nothing to see here. Be careful not to get into trouble. Everyone, disperse..."

Lin Beichen quickly stopped and looked back.

He saw a group of people rushing towards this side. When Lin Beichen saw clearly, he realized that they were the officers and soldiers of the Deep Friendship Brigade.

Lin Beichen immediately understood what was going on and showed a disdainful smile on his face: "The news spreads quite quickly. You guys are here just in time."

"If I had come a little later, I don't know what would have happened. I want to see how you would handle this matter."

Thinking of this, Lin Beichen hurriedly retreated and did not meet these officers and soldiers.

Instead, he hid far away in the dark, observing everything that happened here.

In fact, Lin Beichen had no ill intentions, he just couldn't stand these people's tyranny and wanted to give them a little punishment.

When the onlookers saw the officers and soldiers coming, they quickly moved away and seemed a little afraid of them.

The discussions just now gradually died down and the scene became quiet in an instant.

"What's going on? What are you doing here?"

"Is there nothing to do?"

A leading soldier yelled at everyone, and none of the people dared to say a word.

Just standing quietly aside, Lin Beichen thought that since the officers and soldiers of the Deep Friendship Brigade had already discovered the matter, let them handle it. He was too lazy to go out and argue with these people as he had other things to do.

In a blink of an eye, the entire scene was surrounded by officers and soldiers, and it looked like a grand scene.

Lin Beichen had a serious expression, and his sharp eyes were quietly watching everything.

At this time, he didn't want to get into conflict with these officers and soldiers and make things more and more complicated.

This will not benefit anyone, but will make the whole incident worse and more complicated.

When everyone saw the officers and soldiers arrive at the scene, they just glanced at the unconscious man lying on the ground and immediately became nervous, as if they had a premonition of big trouble.

"It's Sima Kuangfeng... Oh no, it turns out that something happened to Master Sima!"

"Come over and lend a hand, help the young master up first and see how serious his injuries are."

"Oh, right, send someone to inform the city lord immediately. You must not conceal the fact that Master Sima was injured here. You must report the truth to the city lord. Do you understand?"

A leading officer gave orders loudly, looking somewhat panicked.

"Yes, my lord..."

So, these officers and soldiers got busy and performed their duties according to the previous instructions.

Lin Beichen was a little puzzled. It was obviously the other party who made the mistake first and hurt the people in the city.

Now no one cares about the injured people, but instead is concerned about the safety of this person.

Lin Beichen couldn't help but feel a little angry. He gently tugged at the corner of the aunt's clothes and asked curiously, "Aunt, what's going on?"

"It's obvious that this person doesn't know the rules, so why are these officers and soldiers now caring about him?"

"It's outrageous that the people are being left out."

When the aunt heard what Lin Beichen said, she covered his mouth nervously.

Lin Beichen widened his eyes and asked in confusion: "Auntie...what do you mean?"

The aunt looked at Lin Beichen nervously and said, "Young man, you are really brave."

"Do you know who is lying on the ground? You are in trouble now."

After hearing what the aunt said, Lin Beichen asked in confusion: "Aunt, what does this mean? Can you explain it more clearly?"

"I was really confused and didn't understand at all."

The aunt lowered her voice and whispered, "The person lying on the ground unconscious was none other than Sima Kuangfeng."

"Sima Kuangfeng...who is he?" Lin Beichen asked curiously.

"Hey...his father is a general under the city lord and has great power. If you hurt him now, how can you get away with it?" The aunt said helplessly.

Lin Beichen suddenly realized that the person he had hurt in a moment of impulse actually had such a powerful background.

Only then did Lin Beichen realize that he was really in trouble.

Just when Lin Beichen was thinking about what to do next, he suddenly felt someone pulling him hard, and his body leaned to the side involuntarily.

Lin Beichen turned around with curiosity and found that it was the old lady from before.

Lin Beichen asked doubtfully: "Auntie...what's wrong? Did something happen?"

The aunt said nothing and took Lin Beichen away to hide. (End of this chapter)
