Become a winner in life after binding the childbearing system

After leaving Jiangning City, they drove north.

Compared to the eastern coast, the air is humid and becomes drier as you go north.

Especially compared with the east, the mythical legends in the north are more widespread.

But "Why are there so many snake demons and fox fairies here?"

After spending a long time together, the former martial arts masters would also start to talk to each other.

They were all servants of the imperial court and had been working in and around the capital all year round. Faced with the completely different living environment in the north, they were a little overwhelmed.

Just like the miraculous things Ren Chengzhou just mentioned, they are all legends of the towns they passed by, and every citizen living in this area can tell one or two about them.

"Perhaps it has something to do with the environment in the north. The mountains here are high and the forests are dense, so wild beasts often appear. If you are lucky enough to get a chance, they will become evil spirits in the eyes of the people."

In fact, it may be a simple mutation, like a snake that should be a few meters long grows to dozens of meters. The visual effect alone is scary enough.

Ren Chengzhou read a lot of biographies and legends along the way, and such rumors were common in the northern region.

“When we settled in the town before, we bought a piece of Polygonatum odoratum which is said to have medicinal properties for a thousand years.

According to the pharmacy, these drugs have often appeared in the mountains and forests in recent years. Perhaps it is because of their magical properties that there are rumors of evil spirits. "

When spiritual energy is revived, plants will come before animals, and humans will be the last.

Moreover, it is difficult for plants to mutate, and they need the right time and place to develop intelligence. However, animals do not need to go through such trouble. They can just swallow a magical medicine. The most common result is a body size that is much larger than normal.

After Shen Yao finished speaking, she picked up the teacup beside her and poured a cup of warm water to moisten her throat.

"The carriage will arrive at Lin'an City in half an hour. I heard that there are snake demons there."

Another snake demon! They had killed countless snake demons along the way!

……

Lin'an City is a city located in the north of Jiang State. What's unusual about this city is that there are often rumors about ghosts and monsters in this city, ranging from the roars of snakes and tigers to the ghosts of the wronged. There are new things happening almost every few days.

Shen Yao and Ren Chengzhou and their group checked into an inn in the city. After just one night, they heard that someone's house in the city was haunted. The person who described it described it so vividly that it seemed as if they had seen it with their own eyes.

A family of five sat in the lobby of the inn and had their meal, with all kinds of exclamations floating around their ears.

It is those who keep agreeing after hearing the news. There must be people to support the story in order to continue.

“…Mr. Li spent a lot of money this time, saying that he wanted to ask a master with profound skills to help.

Five hundred taels, exactly five hundred taels. Whoever can drive away the evil ghost in the house can get it."

The person who spoke was a young boy with an ordinary appearance but clear eyes, looking very shrewd.

"Yue San, you can get this money but you can't spend it. Who in Lin'an doesn't know what happened to Mr. Li's family? That man is addicted to lust and greed. They say he is a vengeful ghost, but I think he is more like a fierce ghost, coming back for revenge."

Someone at the same table added something in a low voice, successfully arousing the interest of the people around them.

"Oh, what nonsense! Mr. Li married a concubine because we both wanted to.

Besides, if a concubine died, Mr. Li would give an extra 100 taels of silver to her family as compensation. "How can this be considered bad of Mr. Li? It is obvious that those concubines who were married in were unlucky and could not bear Mr. Li's kindness.

When some people belittle others, others praise them. This is a conflict of opinions that is normal among people.

Although both parties were eating and drinking at the same table, it did not prevent them from bickering with each other. Everyone had their own opinions, and it was no exaggeration to say that they were all kinds of weird.

After finishing breakfast, Shen Yao called the waiter of the inn, "Brother, please help me to find a storyteller who can tell stories in a nearby teahouse. Price is not a problem."

The waiters have been serving the guests here for years, so what kind of people have they not seen? It is even more common for people like Shen Yao to invite storytellers.

He smiled and told Shen Yao to go back to the house and wait, and he would go there personally to make sure things were done.

Soon, the storyteller was brought in by the waiter, and Shen Yao was generous with his tips.

Just like what happened in Jiangning City, Shen Yao and the others wanted to hear miraculous things.

What people yearn for most are these magical and magnificent legends.

The storyteller was not surprised at all. He bowed to them respectfully and started talking about the story about the haunted Li Mansion that Shen Yao had just heard at breakfast.

The storyteller went into even more detail, including how Mr. Li became rich, how beautiful the dozen or so concubines he married were, and why there were so many deaths in the Li mansion... In short, this is a large-scale TV series.

"Mr. Li's reputation in Lin'an City is mixed. Unless a family can't survive, they won't easily marry their daughter to him.

But every time something happened in the Li Mansion, Mr. Li would wait three years before marrying again."

The storyteller held a paper fan and clapped it against his palms again and again.

Shen Yao was surprised, "Something happened at the Li Mansion yesterday. From what you said, the next incident at the Li Mansion will happen three years later?"

The storyteller nodded, "Yes, you may not know, but the Li Mansion has been in trouble for more than 20 years, and the people of Lin'an City are very aware of it."

Shen Yao seemed to be thinking about something. Ren Chengzhou asked, "How come no one reported this to the authorities?" Every three years, a woman in the backyard of the Li Mansion died tragically. Anyone with a discerning eye would know that this was strange.

"Well, to be honest with you, the authorities did report the crime, but the man committed suicide."

It was really suicide. What can Guan Fu do? They can't punish Li Fu.

Besides, the Li family also gave generous compensation. Except for some stubborn people who refused to give in, most people would choose to resolve the issue peacefully.

After saying all this, the storyteller mentioned that every time something happened in the Li Mansion, they would invite a master with great magical powers to exorcise the evil, but unfortunately it never worked, and people continued to die after three years.

What those people were talking about at breakfast, such as resentful ghosts and evil spirits, were just talkative. There were no ghosts in the Li Mansion. Otherwise, why would Mr. Li have lived there for decades and kept bringing in new members and children?

Shen Yao:......

Shen Yao felt that there was something going on here. It sounded a bit like the methods of an evil cultivator. Borrowing a life? Asking for money or a child? If there was a chance, she could go to Li's house to find out.

The affairs of the Li Mansion were nothing more than stories in the storyteller's mouth. Telling them could not only please the guests but also make him money. After he finished talking about these affairs, the storyteller started to talk about other miraculous things.

Like the stories of the scholar and the female ghost and the ghost, and the scholar and the fox demon and the demon. In short, they are all related to scholars, and the contents involved are all erotic.

Maybe because Shen Yao had a child with her, the storyteller was more restrained and only mentioned some of the content briefly, but most of it was still enjoyable.

After the storyteller left, it was noon and Shen Yao called the waiter to bring lunch.

With a table full of delicious dishes, Shen Yao and others also decided on the route for the afternoon.

Wherever they go, whether it is for shopping or sightseeing, they will not miss it.

Considering that the family of five has different interests, they are usually divided into two groups.

Shen Yao took Ren Yangzhuo and Ren Yangjue with her, while Ren Chengzhou and his son Ren Yangyao went to visit the local bookstore.

……

Lin'an City was very lively. Shen Yao first visited a jewelry store, then went to a silk shop, and then did not forget to spend money to buy some novel little things.

Ren Yangzhuo and Ren Yangjue both have childish natures. Unlike the calm Ren Yangyao, they prefer to run around and laugh.

The reason why he followed Shen Yao out was because Shen Yao often walked around, unlike Ren Chengzhou, who would sit in the bookstore all day and was famous for his patience.

"What do you like? Mom pays for it, you're welcome."

Shen Yao looked at the children holding masks and pointed at other things on the stall.

They are all handmade dolls or toys. Although they are not as rich as modern ones, they are also rich in variety.

Ren Yangzhuo and Ren Yangjue loved these little gadgets the most and would buy them no matter where they went, until they were stopped by Shen Yao.

This time was no exception. The two little ones first looked at each other, and then started buying one by one.

They are also smart enough to buy different gadgets, hoping that one plus one is greater than two.

Shen Yao:......

Shen Yao waited for them to finish their shopping, then paid the bill and left. When passing by a drugstore, she did not forget to ask if there were any magical herbs there. Generally, drugstores would have them, but herbs like ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum were all bought and collected by the wealthy people in the city.

Shen Yao spent three thousand taels of silver to buy two successfully mutated herbs. She carefully felt the spiritual energy wafting from them and nodded with satisfaction.

Not bad, I found a bargain.

When Shen Yao returned to the inn in the evening, she saw Ren Chengzhou sitting in the room reading a book. She asked him with a smile if he had figured out anything. Unexpectedly, Ren Chengzhou said seriously, "That Mr. Li was a lay disciple of a Taoist temple when he was young."

However, he only stayed in the Taoist temple for five years, and returned to secular life when he reached the age to get married.

It's not quite right to say that he has returned to secular life, because secular disciples are only slightly stronger than registered disciples. Overall, this person leaving the Taoist temple is not a big loss to the temple.

Taoist temple? "Which Taoist temple?"

Shen Yao blinked and simply sat down in front of Ren Chengzhou.

Ren Chengzhou pointed outside the city and said that the Taoist temple had been abandoned fifteen years ago and the Taoist priest inside was nowhere to be found. "It's just a nameless wild temple."

Shen Yao smiled, "Why did you mention the Taoist temple?" As far as she knew, because of the late emperor's quest for immortality and Taoism, Ren Chengzhou hated these 'masters' who used the names of Taoist temples and Buddhist temples the most.

"I find it strange. Besides, Mr. Li's business is surprising."

Ren Chengzhou put down the book in his hand and mentioned that Li Yuanwai made his fortune by relying on his wife in the beginning. Later, when his wife had an accident, Li Yuanwai started to take concubines in Lin'an City after the mourning period to continue the family line. Unfortunately, until now, Li Yuanwai still has no children.

Shen Yao remained calm after hearing this and said, "I'm thinking about what happened in Mr. Li's family." It's no wonder that some people would have such wild thoughts.

Moreover, Taoist temples and Buddhist temples are the places most likely to have the inheritance of cultivation.

It’s decided. We’ll go to the mansion tonight to see what’s going on.

After dark, at midnight.

Shen Yao got up from the bed, and before leaving, she did not forget to perform some magic spells to protect her relatives staying in the inn.

whoosh-

Like a gust of wind, Shen Yao turned over and entered the house, and walked into the backyard with ease.

There were still white sails hanging in the official's mansion, and a resentful atmosphere was looming in the air.

"This Mr. Li is more ruthless than I expected. He is not simply borrowing my life to ask for money and children, but he wants to gain both power and wealth and achieve immortality."

Shen Yao made some hand gestures. Having traveled through many lifetimes, he still had some skills in fortune-telling.

After a simple calculation, it was concluded that this Mr. Li was using the method of substituting a dead body for a dead one, and he did not forget to choose a woman with a special fate to borrow her life. Shen Yao clicked her tongue in her heart, and simply went to the warehouse where Mr. Li had worked hard for many years in hiding.

She couldn't come here in vain. Besides, there was a lot of resentment here, and she happened to be free, so she might as well do a good deed.

The warehouse that Shen Yao entered was very large, and there were many boxes of various kinds inside.

Without even opening it to check, Shen Yao simply collected everything and put it into the storage bag, which was then thrown into the corner of the space to take root.

Taking out the Yinshen Wood which was twice as big as before, Shen Yao made a gesture with one hand, mobilizing the resentful energy in the mansion and concentrating all the resentment to nourish it.

In order to speed up the progress (mainly because time was tight and the task was heavy and he didn't want to delay), Shen Yao also took some extra Yin-attributed spirit beads for supplementation.

Soon, the entire backyard of the Li Mansion was filled with cold winds. If Shen Yao had not already set up the barrier when she came in, the noise from the Li Mansion would have alarmed the neighbors.

After all, with Mr. Li's wealth, the place he can live in is either rich or noble.

Several blurry shadows appeared before his eyes, becoming more and more solid with the help of the Yinshen Tree.

Shen Yao raised her eyebrows and simply said that she happened to pass by and saw that there was an injustice in the mansion, so she offered to help.

"It's up to you guys to do it now. This is just one night. Tomorrow morning, all the grudges will be settled."

Some grudges can be taken, but there is no need to sacrifice yourself for the rest of your life.

If he were to reincarnate, he might even be able to catch up with the revival of spiritual energy and start practicing Taoism directly. Staying here and dying together with Mr. Li is the worst option.

The souls holding grudges in their hearts bowed respectfully to Shen Yao, their benefactor, and then turned around and headed towards the residence of the culprit.

Shen Yao refused to follow them. She considerately took care of the logistics for them and took away all the property of the Li Mansion.

After a busy night, when daybreak came, Shen Yao removed the protective shield and returned to the inn.

……

"Hey, have you heard? Something happened in the Li Mansion!"

"real or fake?"

"A relative who works in the government said that Mr. Li ran to the government office early in the morning to turn himself in and confessed all the bad things he had done over the years."

"What did they say at that time? There is a ghost in the Li Mansion. There really is a ghost!"

"Ghost? What are you afraid of? As long as you don't do anything wrong, you won't be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door."

"..."

There was a lot of chatter as Shen Yao and the others went downstairs to have dinner. As soon as they sat down, they heard the news that something had happened in the Li Mansion.

Even the waiter who served them said that the Li family was in a miserable state.

Not only did Mr. Li surrender himself to the police, but most of the Li family's property was also lost.

"As expected, you can't do evil things. It's not that I won't take revenge, it's just that the time has not come yet."

After Ren Chengzhou finished speaking, he glanced at Shen Yao beside him and placed the soup in front of her. "Madam, the soup in this restaurant is delicious. You were tired last night, so you should have a good rest."

Shen Yao: ...Hmm? ! ! !

Shen Yao looked at Ren Chengzhou's beautiful peach blossom eyes with surprise.

Discovered? Sure enough, she couldn't hide it, even though she didn't want to.

He smiled and nodded, "Master, are you worried about me?"

So why don't they go together next time? With help, she can finish the work faster.

"Husband and wife are one body, so it's natural that we feel sorry for each other," especially since his wife is kind-hearted, he was very worried.

The three little ones were not quite aware of their parents' mute behavior at the dinner table. They were eating happily with their bowls and chopsticks.
