Become a winner in life after binding the childbearing system
Chapter 241: Monks Should Strengthen Themselves (11)
They had no destination on this trip, but because most miraculous things happened in places with lush forests and mountains, they finally chose to travel east first, then north, and finally south from the northwest until they returned to the capital.
Of course, if everything goes well.
Jiangning City
Located on the eastern edge of Jiang State, it is a city close to the ocean.
The carriage was parked far away at the city gate. Before people got off the carriage, they could smell a faint smell of the sea through the incoming air.
Shen Yao was fine, and Ren Chengzhou had some resistance after training, and the children were in good health. The ones who suffered the most were the servants who followed them.
Even several hired martial arts experts were not used to the taste.
By the time he arrived at the largest inn in Jiangning City to rest, he was already vomiting profusely.
"Take a few days' rest first. This trip is all for fun, so there's no need to be nervous."
Since they have no apparent mission to accomplish, they are not worried about being late.
Besides, some things are not suitable for so many people to go there, so everyone stayed in the inn to rest, which was in line with Shen Yao's expectations.
Transportation was underdeveloped in ancient times, which was completely different from the modern society of later generations. Some inland people were much more unable to adapt to the coastal areas.
Just like now, after instructing the few remaining servants who could still stand, Shen Yao went out smoothly with Ren Chengzhou and the three children on the pretext of going out for a walk.
As for those who were still determined to catch up, they couldn't bear it when they reached the door and vomited again.
Ren Chengzhou: …
Ren Chengzhou shook his head and lamented that these people were too arrogant. "We are just walking around Jiangning City casually. Nothing will happen."
Perhaps it was because his discovered martial arts talent was so strong that Ren Chengzhou had more confidence than before.
He even told Shen Yao about the magical legends of Jiangning City while on the road.
Mermaid
Shen Yao felt that if the mermaid species really existed, perhaps the world was really transforming towards cultivation. After all, there were mermaids in the East China Sea in the world of cultivation.
Mermaid is a general term for mermaids, but they are also divided into various factions.
Before coming to the mortal world, Shen Yao had never been to the East China Sea. She had always lived in the northern border.
The area of the cultivation world is still too large, and although the East China Sea and the Northern Border are connected, they are separated by dense forests full of dangers. Unless one's cultivation has reached the Golden Core stage, the risk of falling is too great.
Shen Yao suppressed these thoughts temporarily and smiled as she watched the three kids pestering Ren Chengzhou to ask about mermaids.
There is nothing special about it. There are mermaids in the sea outside Jiangning City. They have human bodies and fish tails, and they are good at raising pearls.
The pearls exported from Jiangning City every year are all large and round.
"The most outstanding of these is the pink pearl, which is worth a fortune alone and is made from the tears of a mermaid."
After Ren Chengzhou finished speaking, he pointed to a teahouse not far away. From time to time, stories could be heard coming out of there. It seemed that there was a storyteller.
It was just right for them to go over and sit down, rest their feet and listen to other legends of Jiangning City.
"Wangxian Tower? What a big tone."
Ren Chengzhou looked at the teahouse's signboard and thought that leaving aside other things for the moment, Jiangning City's unique sense of fearlessness was enough to surprise him.
Far away from the capital of Jiang State and in a remote geographical location, is this the confidence of Jiangning City?
"Dad, let's go in. Yao'er can't walk anymore."
In order to keep a low profile, Ren Yangyao and his friends also changed their names.
The chubby and powerful little fists were clutching Ren Chengzhou's exquisite coat. Ren Yangzhuo and Ren Yangjue nodded in agreement.
Ren Chengzhou: …
Ren Chengzhou was helpless, and Shen Yao covered her mouth and laughed, but they still entered the teahouse and went up to the third floor to rest in the elegant restaurant.
Wangxian Tower is just as its name suggests, with five floors. It is not the tallest building in Jiangning City, but it ranks among the top in terms of tea drinks and customer popularity.
"Do you have a personal storyteller here?" Shen Yao casually ordered some tea and asked the waiter to call over the best storyteller, even though the price was not cheap.
After a while, a middle-aged man in gray clothes and with a short mustache came upstairs and said, "I am honored to meet you, guests. What would you like to hear?"
Ren Chengzhou waved the folding fan in his hand and said, "What's in Wangjiang Tower? It is said that there are mermaids in the sea outside Jiangning City. Do you know?"
Shen Yao distributed some of the cakes to Ren Yangyao and the others, and wiped them with a handkerchief. "In addition to the legend of mermaids, there are other magical things. Please tell us about them, sir."
A bulging purse was handed to the storyteller. Shen Yao turned her head to look at the half-open window. Even though there were many fresh and elegant flowers in the room, the fishy smell of the sea was still unblocked in the air.
Storytellers make a living by telling stories, and this is what they do every day.
The family of five in front of me looked either rich or noble.
My heart was beating wildly. After all, it wasn't every time I could meet such a generous guest. Since the guest liked supernatural things, what was I waiting for? The only way was to show my ability.
Putting away the purse in his hand, the storyteller raised his head and smiled slightly, then talked about the mermaid legend of Jiangning City.
He is much better than Ren Chengzhou, the half-baked one. The storyteller has a better plot, including but not limited to the male and female protagonists.
"Wow, that mermaid girl left in the end?" Ren Yangzhuo tilted his head, not understanding why they broke up when they were living a good life.
The storyteller was at a loss as to how to explain the love between the man and the woman as the young man who asked the question looked no more than a few years old.
"Yang Zhuo, if that mermaid girl doesn't leave, she will die.
There has been a saying since ancient times that people of different races cannot tolerate each other, so it is good for both of them to separate.”
After speaking patiently and touching Yang Zhuo's confused little head, Shen Yao pushed the pastry forward.
Shen Yao, Ren Chengzhou and others stayed in Wangxian Tower for the entire morning, listening to the storyteller telling all the magical legends of the entire Jiangning City.
'Nine out of ten of these are false, and are nothing more than rumors.'
Shen Yao chatted with the system and analyzed the legends they had heard.
"True or false, but the revival of spiritual energy has indeed given them a chance."
The system knows more than the host. It only knows that some things are trends and will appear more frequently in the future.
"Mom, if we go out to sea in two days, can we really find those mermaids?"
Ren Yangyao shook his little head. He had understood the difference between himself and others and was more willing to believe in things that seemed absurd to others.
“Whether you can find it or not, you have to try to know.” Even if the mermaid is fake, the treasure in the sea is real.
Shen Yao felt that her wallet was empty, so it made sense for her to take this opportunity to replenish it.
"There are professional mermaid catchers on the ship we are taking to the sea," Ren Chengzhou held the paper fan in his hand, "perhaps there will be unexpected gains."
The two did not avoid talking about the three children. As parents who take care of them, they naturally know that their children are different.
If it were someone else, they would definitely not bring their children with them on this sea trip, but if it were Ren Chengzhou and Shen Yao, who else would they bring if not their children? They all went to see the world.
The world does not only refer to going out to sea, but also the unique customs in Jiangning City.
The crowd is completely different from that inland, with all kinds of fish displayed on the stalls, and the boats and surging flow of people beside the pier.
Jiangning City is like a passionate girl, showing her unique charm to outsiders.
In the next few days, Shen Yao and Ren Chengzhou took their three children to stroll around Jiangning City.
I walked around and bought some products unique to Jiangning City, such as big, round pearls that were used as tribute.
There are no pink pearls. Mermaid's tears are legendary treasures. Some pearls that appear as gimmicks are all fake without exception.
"Red Pearl?"
Shen Yao was standing next to a jewelry store, holding a bright red pearl in her hand.
Not wanting to rest in the inn, Shen Yao took the maid who had recovered with her out.
This Cuiyinlou is a century-old store, and the accessories sold there are gorgeous and beautiful.
Shen Yao would naturally come over to take a look when she had time, and add some more for herself and her family far away in Beijing.
"Madam, this is a newly sent pearl. I heard that it is made from the heart of a mermaid. Only mermaids who are truly in love can produce red pearls..."
The shopkeeper of Cuiyinlou is a middle-aged woman who still has charm, and her every frown and smile is full of heritage.
Shen Yao lowered her eyes, holding a few red pearls in her hands, the blood-like color made it gorgeous and charming.
"Why did the shopkeeper sell it to me? There are many wealthy and powerful families in Jiangning City," she was just a passer-by.
The shopkeeper's surname was Bai, but her giggle had nothing to do with the word Bai.
"I see that the lady has a kind face. Besides, although red pearls are precious, they are more common than pink pearls.
Seeing that Madam was generous this time, I wanted to make a deal with her, "No way!
Shopkeeper Bai spoke nicely, but in fact these red pearls were very strange. He had thought about selling them to the noble families in Jiangning City to improve the reputation of Cuiyin Tower.
Unfortunately, the red pearls that were sold eventually returned to her hands, because those who bought the red pearls would eventually encounter various accidents.
The reason for choosing Shen Yao is simply because she is just a passer-by and will leave in a few days.
Smilingly, Shopkeeper Bai pushed the wooden box containing the red pearls in front of Shen Yao and carefully explained the benefits of these red pearls, including but not limited to beautifying and nourishing the skin, and making couples more loving.
Shen Yao:......
Shen Yao didn't realize that the red pearls filled with resentment would have these effects, but wearing them for a long time would bring bad luck and accidents.
Tut tut
This Shopkeeper Bai was not honest and was trying to cheat her on purpose!
In the end, Shen Yao bought the red pearl with a smile. When they returned to the inn, she hurriedly drove everyone away, then she stretched out her hand and made a gesture to force out the resentment attached to the red pearl.
"Is it still not enough?" The resentment was too little, just a ball of mindless black fog that couldn't even communicate.
Shen Yao simply rummaged through the space and found a palm-sized piece of Yin Shen wood, transferred all the resentment there, and did not forget to nourish it at the same time.
"Host, why are you doing this?" It does them no good at all, and it only wastes a piece of Yinshen Wood.
You should know that in the world of cultivation, the Yinshen Wood is a famous treasure with yin attributes. It is the best choice for nurturing yin objects such as ghosts.
Shen Yao didn't care, "It's really boring. Besides, the changes here need to be explained by the natives."
Don't tell me you didn't feel it, the resentment on the red pearl is from the mermaid.'
Since there really are mermaids in the sea, and Shen Yao still has an idle Yinshen Wood in her hand, why not take it out and use it? Just treat it as a diversion when you are bored.
system:……
The system has nothing to say about it, and the host can only hold it himself. Why does he need it to remind him of his physical condition? When the spiritual power is overused, he can't return to the world of cultivation.
'Don't worry,' everything was going according to the plan she had made, and there was no way she could not go back.
The only thing they are afraid of is that the world of cultivation they return to is not the Northern Territory, and they will have to wander again.
The nurtured resentment in the Yinshen Tree progressed rapidly. By the time Shen Yao and others were ready to board the ship and go out to sea, this group of resentment that could not communicate had already taken human form.
It looks like a palm-sized mermaid with a beautiful fish tail, a human body from the waist up, pointed ears and beautiful misty blue hair.
Of course, resentment is just the embodiment of black and white, the colors were said by the mermaid herself.
Shen Yao found some free time and communicated with the mermaid, only to discover that the red pearl was indeed the heart of the mermaid, but it was not the result of true love, but the incarnation of a mermaid who was killed and full of resentment.
Shen Yao: ...The owner of Cuiyinlou is committing fraud. It seems I have to settle the account when I get back.
"Your mermaid race seems to be at a disadvantage in the battle with the human race."
Shen Yao was not afraid of piercing people's wounds. They were all going to die anyway, so there was no need to be so particular.
"Mermaids are peaceful by nature. It's only because humans are too insidious and cunning that we were fooled."
Being angry will wear away the resentment in the body, but with the help of the Yin Shen Wood, it can still be replenished.
Shen Yao didn't care about the mermaids' opinions of humans. It had nothing to do with her anyway.
"This time they are going out to sea to catch mermaids. Do you think they can succeed?"
Shen Yao and Ren Chengzhou are just guests on this ship, not an employment relationship.
In other words, the mermaid catcher serves the owner of the ship, and Shen Yao and the others are just guests who pay to see the world.
"Yes and no."
The mermaid had a weird expression and spoke in a mysterious way, but it still talked about the conflict between the mermaid and these catchers, and the never-ending fight between them!
Shen Yao was not surprised by this, because ever since this mermaid woke up, she had been talking about the conflicts between them and the human race, mostly about their own history of suffering.
Compared to humans, the number of non-humans is still too small, and the human wave tactic is very useful at certain times.
Of course, under the premise of huge military power, the number of people is just a meal, just like those demon bosses and monster masters in the world of cultivation.
She promised the mermaid that as long as she was not provoked, she would not take action. If the other party was blind, she would not swallow her anger.
Mermaid: ...
The mermaid looked surprised and explained that they would seek revenge on the person who committed the crime, and they would not kill other innocent people indiscriminately.
"We only target those who have committed serious crimes against the mermaids. The curse of the mermaids will make them suffer unbearable pain."
This has been the mermaid's concept of right and wrong since she could remember. Otherwise, with so many people going out to sea every day, the mermaids would have plenty of ways to take indiscriminate revenge.
