Secular world: My destiny has no taboos

Chapter 67: From now on, we are even

Amid the shocked and horrified gazes of the villagers, the village chief finally stepped out and explained to everyone: "Don't panic, this child is not evil, he is just... well, a little special!"

The village chief was silent for a long time, unable to think of any good words, and could only use the word "special" to describe Lin Beixuan.

"But he actually dared to walk around so brazenly at night. Is it possible that he was possessed by an evil spirit?"

Hearing this, Lin Beixuan rolled his eyes, and finally couldn't help but step into the land temple from outside.

"What would you do if I was possessed by an evil spirit?"

He narrowed his eyes slightly, with a fierce look in his eyes, staring at the man who said that. At this time, there was still a lot of black blood on his body because he had just killed the White-haired Howler, and he carried a strong smell of blood. He just took a few steps forward towards the crowd, and immediately caused everyone to step back.

"You are possessed by an evil spirit, so you must leave. You cannot enter the temple. If it goes crazy, everyone will be in danger."

"That's right. If he goes crazy, wouldn't that harm everyone?"

The man who spoke earlier hid behind the crowd and shouted bravely. As soon as he said this, others immediately started shouting as well.

"Okay, everyone, be quiet!" The village chief looked around at everyone and sighed, "Although he is a little special, he should not be possessed by evil spirits. Don't make a fuss."

Seeing the village chief speak out, the others looked at each other, but ultimately did not dare to raise any objections.

Even if they had some opinions about Lin Beixuan in their hearts, they didn't dare to say anything in the current situation.

Before, the only reason they dared to clamor for Lin Beixuan to get out was because someone took the lead. Now that the leader has fallen silent, the rest of them just lowered their heads and continued to do what they had done before.

People are like this. Once they discover something that may be harmful to themselves, when they see someone jump out, they will immediately follow suit and want to nip the thing that may be harmful to them in the bud, regardless of whether the thing is true or whether it will affect others.

"hehe."

Lin Beixuan looked at the ugly faces that had become silent one by one and couldn't help but sneer.

Old beggar, this is the village and the people you want to protect. If one day you come back from a battle with evil spirits and are seriously injured, will these people treat you as a hero? Or will they worry that you will attract evil spirits and tell you to get out as far away as possible?

What a simple and pure human heart.

As he passed by each person around him, Lin Beixuan could clearly feel the fear and vigilance from them.

In addition to the fact that his skin turned pale and his vitality weakened due to the influence of Yin energy, his clothes were also stained with the black blood of Baimaohou, which made the villagers afraid of him.

Arriving at the innermost part of the land temple, looking at the old beggar curled up alone in the corner, Lin Beixuan walked forward and squatted in front of him.

"I have completed what I promised you. From now on, we owe each other nothing."

"..."

The old beggar suddenly opened his eyes upon hearing this, and met Lin Beixuan's gaze with disbelief and said, "Didn't you say that you were going out to sense the existence of Qi?"

His mind was a little confused now. He guessed that Lin Beixuan might have said this on purpose because he couldn't sense his anger and was too embarrassed to come back.

"I went out to sense the Qi. After sensing the Qi, I found that it was still early, so I killed those Wu Shi evil minions. There is no conflict here, right?"

Lin Beixuan looked calm, as if this matter was not a big deal to him.

But it was this calm look that shocked the old beggar even more, and his eyeballs almost popped out.

"You...are you telling the truth?"

He raised his hand tremblingly and placed it on Lin Beixuan's shoulder. He wanted to say something, but he felt that what Lin Beixuan said was too unbelievable. He was worried that he was trying to trick him. "If it's true, you can ask the Earth God. It has been in this area for so long, it should be able to sense what is happening outside."

"But...but how can you do it alone!" The old beggar pointed at Lin Beixuan with his mouth wide open.

Lin Beixuan smiled and said, "Don't worry about how I got rid of those evil accomplices. Anyway, you teach me the law and I will help you solve the dangers in Huangshi Village. We are even. You are quite old, so I won't ask you to pay back the two bricks you owe me. I will leave Huangshi Village after tonight, and we will meet again in the future."

"By the way, before you leave, I kindly remind you not to take yourself too seriously. If Huangshi Village encounters any danger again, find a place to hide quickly. If you have the ability to save those villagers, they may not be grateful to you, but if you don't have the ability to save them, they will definitely be the first to abandon you in times of danger."

"That's all I have to say. Take care of yourself."

After saying that, Lin Beixuan stood up and glanced at the land temple shrouded in incense: "I have done what I said. Don't be pretentious when you use your power in the future."

“Pala~”

A few pieces of dirt and rocks fell from the statue of the Earth God, as if angrily scolding Lin Beixuan for not trusting its character.

Although the land of Huangshi Village is known as the Heavenly Official who protects the land of Huangshi Village, in fact, it is just an evil spirit occupying the land.

After realizing this, Lin Beixuan naturally had no intention of respecting the other party. What's more, they had a deal before, and now by chance he had killed the Wu Shi evil henchman through the White Haired Roar. In his opinion, the two parties no longer had any connection with each other.

If anything happens in Huangshi Village in the future, it will have nothing to do with him, Lin Beixuan.

Looking at the villagers in the temple who seemed honest on the surface but actually had their own thoughts in their hearts, Lin Beixuan shook his head and walked out of the land temple.

When the village chief saw Lin Beixuan come in and talk to the old beggar for a few words before walking out of the land temple, he couldn't help but stop in front of the temple and shouted, "Boy, where are you going?"

Lin Beixuan turned around: "This world is so big, why do you care about me?"

"..."

"You don't know how to appreciate a good person!" The village chief swallowed his words, turned around and went back to the temple angrily, leaning on his crutches.

Lin Beixuan shrugged indifferently, put his hands on his hips and walked into the night.

The baby spirit nimbly crawled out of the cloth bag and lay on Lin Beixuan's shoulder, holding the evil-gathering bead given to it in its little hand, rubbing its cheek against it, looking extremely happy.

That night, Lin Beixuan did not leave the village for the time being, but came to the door of the Ruan family mansion where he first stayed.

When the door was opened, the familiar smell of decay and stench was smelled inside. The bodies of the Ruan family members who died inside were gathered and placed in the courtyard, all covered with white cloth.

If an ordinary person walked in here at night, he would probably be scared to death, but Lin Beixuan had a blank expression on his face. He looked around past the corpses and found that the valuables had already been looted.

Dozens of people died in a house but no one reported it to the police. Instead, the villagers took away all the valuables in the house. One can imagine how much the Ruan family was hated by the people of Huangshi Village, and how chaotic the world is today.

The court is unjust, the government is incompetent, and the people are living in misery. They are only seeking to protect themselves and have no rules in their hearts. Perhaps it won't be long before the world will be divided.

I rubbed the baby spirit's shoulder, whose expression had become a little listless. He returned to his old place, probably because he remembered something.

After finding the shabby woodshed where he first lived, Lin Beixuan placed some remaining lard, saltpeter, wood powder and other auxiliary materials from the kitchen on the small broken table and began to rub the soul-exorcising incense with his hands again.

He had a great harvest tonight. The cloth bag was full of teeth knocked out of the zombies' mouths, and even the sharp claws of the White-Haired Howler that were filled with evil spirit.

For a long time in the future he won’t have to worry about not having soul-chasing incense to use.
