Become a winner in life after binding the childbearing system
Chapter 244: Monks Should Strengthen Themselves (14)
"When did you find out?" Shen Yao was curious. She felt that she had done a good job.
Every time I leave, I set up a layout, but of course, it’s not particularly strict.
She had no intention of hiding the secret from Ren Chengzhou for long, after all, there were still things to come in the world of cultivation.
With a smile on his face, he poured Shen Yao a cup of warm tea and told her his analysis.
All in all, Ren Chengzhou did not doubt Shen Yao at the beginning, but they experienced too many things along the way, and as Ren Chengzhou's own abilities gradually improved, he naturally noticed the signs that Shen Yao had gone out.
I didn't expect Shen Yao to admit it so readily. In Ren Chengzhou's opinion, the traces he noticed were not able to directly point to the core of Shen Yao's problem, and the words in the morning seemed more like a test.
Shen Yao smiled, lowered her head and drank the warm tea in her hand calmly, "Chengzhou is very observant. Mr. Li's affairs do have something to do with me. It is a gift from heaven to have this opportunity to use this magic. When I see injustice, I should help."
The words were a bit vague, and Shen Yao did not reveal her identity in the cultivation world.
She is waiting, waiting for her three children to be able to take care of themselves, so that she will no longer be afraid of any possible events.
Saying sorry to Ren Chengzhou in her heart, Shen Yao told him how Mr. Li used evil magic to harm others and benefit himself.
After Ren Chengzhou heard this, he subconsciously reached out and grabbed Shen Yao's arm, "Are you injured?"
Shen Yao shook her head, "I just secretly broke the formation set up by Mr. Li.
There is resentment rising up in the formation, and once the formation is broken, one can get out. "It's not that simple.
Ren Chengzhou had no choice but to remind them not to act rashly next time.
"We are husband and wife as one, we should advance and retreat together," how could I leave him behind?
Ren Chengzhou had been tortured by his frail body for many years, and now he finally saw the light at the end of the tunnel. This kind of chivalrous and righteous deeds mixed with magical elements also deeply attracted him.
Hearing this, Shen Yao nodded and promised that she would never forget Ren Chengzhou if there was a similar action again. They didn't even have to wait until next time. Now their family of five could go and take a look.
"Nameless Taoist Temple?"
Ren Chengzhou's eyes widened slightly, and when he thought about Li Yuanwai's background as a lay disciple, he suddenly realized.
Shen Yao hadn't explained yet, but Ren Chengzhou could guess it with his intelligence.
What’s more, Mr. Li practiced evil magic, and the nameless Taoist temple was already deserted... It’s terrifying to think about it.
The time was set three days after the incident at Li's Mansion. They hired a local to lead the way and took a horse-drawn carriage directly to the mountains outside the city.
The Wuming Taoist Temple is located on a mountain outside the city. Because the mountain is a nameless mountain, the temple is named Wuming.
Although the three children did not understand the purpose of this trip, it did not mean that they would not observe the expressions of others.
Seeing that their parents didn't say anything, they behaved very well. Even the noisiest Yang Zhuo and Yang Jue didn't speak.
Until the carriage stopped at the foot of the mountain, several people got off and walked up the mountain.
Go up the mountain?!
"Mom, let's go up the mountain," Ren Yangyao's expression seemed to be hesitant to speak. It didn't feel like hunting, and this mountain was not one of the famous mountains in Lin'an City.
"There is a nameless temple here. I came here today just to visit it."
Shen Yao explained but didn't say that this was an opportunity she got in Li's Mansion.
Among the people whom Li Yuanwai murdered were several Taoist priests from this Taoist temple. He took action in the first place to prevent the secret from being leaked.
Li Yuanwai's evil magic was accidentally encountered while living in the Taoist temple. The Taoist temple realized that something was wrong and sent people to warn Li Yuanwai, but unfortunately Li Yuanwai had the upper hand in the final fight, and Wuming Temple fell into decline.
Wuming Temple is located on the top of Wuming Mountain. It is a small Taoist temple and has no special reputation in Lin'an City. Even though Li Yuanwai became wealthy after practicing here, it still does not affect the desolation of Wuming Temple.
Until later, Wuming Temple was completely abandoned and no one spoke up for it.
It is really just a Taoist temple with a weak presence, but it is also a place where the tradition of cultivation is passed down.
The group walked for about half an hour, and the path beneath them became flatter.
"Mom, it's a Taoist temple!"
Ren Yangzhuo pointed forward with an excited tone.
Shen Yao took out a handkerchief and wiped his forehead. "Fix your coat and let's go in to visit."
Even though there was no one in Wuming Temple, the proper etiquette was observed, and they came here for the sake of inheritance.
Ren Yangzhuo hummed and lowered his head to tidy up his messy coat.
The same was true for the others, and the three little ones did not ask their parents for help.
"This is my first time to bother you, Taoist priest, please forgive me, I am entrusted with this task."
Shen Yao bowed and took out a yellowed letter from her sleeve.
Trust is placed in the palm of your hand and is gently blown away by the breeze.
At the same time, the door that should have been tightly closed creaked and a gap appeared.
Ren Chengzhou was fine as he was mentally prepared and didn't think it was a problem. However, the three children were all surprised, staring with their mouths open as if they had never seen the world before.
Shen Yao had no choice but to push open the door and signal them to follow her, as she had a mission to accomplish.
Ren Yangyao wanted to ask his mother what was going on with the letter, but there was no one in Wuming Temple, yet everything seemed strange. Could it be that this world was really like what the immortals said, where one could practice Taoism and gain immortality?
Ren Yangyao, who is only three years old, is not sensitive to the word "immortality", but he has heard that his royal grandfather had done this before he passed away.
The appearance of Wuming Temple was very shabby, which was something they had expected before they entered. However, they did not expect the situation inside the temple to be much better, including the main hall used to enshrine the ancestors. Apart from the thick dust, there were no other problems.
Shen Yao and Ren Chengzhou simply picked up the bucket in the corner to fetch water and clean up. Even the three children were not idle, doing what they could.
slam-la-
Clean water was poured into the basin to soak the cut handkerchief, and Shen Yao cleaned the main hall patiently.
Because Wuming Temple is not big, including the front hall and the back hall, there is not much space in total.
In about half an hour, the entire Taoist temple was completely renewed, and all the fallen leaves on the ground were collected and sent to the stove.
Without any other tests, the Secret of Immortality appeared before the image of the Patriarch.
"Is this the inheritance of Wuming Temple?" Ren Chengzhou looked at the thing held in Shen Yao's hand, his tone slightly surprised.
"We brought a package with us when we went up the mountain. We copied it out and left enough money. We are waiting for the right person to reopen Wuming Temple."
As for letting them find someone themselves? First of all, they are not Taoists, and they have no intention of changing their practice. Moreover, the Taoist temple has spirits and will choose people by themselves. Their interference would be superfluous.
After going to the side hall to copy the "Secret of Immortality", Shen Yao returned to the main hall, put the original version away, and paid the agreed silver money.
Not only Shen Yao had this opportunity, Ren Chengzhou and others also gained corresponding benefits.
Methods of making runes such as amulets, several spells of teleporting in dreams, and so on. When the family of five came down from Wuming Temple, everyone gained something.
The "Eternal Life Secret" that Shen Yao obtained was of course the best, but unfortunately the requirements for practicing this secret were quite high. Shen Yao and Ren Chengzhou were unable to practice it, while Ren Yangyao and the other two already had similar skills, so it was not easy to give up.
"So the Art of Immortality can only lie there and collect dust. This is a technique that can lead to immortality."
The system feels sorry for the host. He could obviously move up a level, but due to his limited qualifications, he can only sigh in despair.
Shen Yao:......
Shen Yao didn’t think it was a big deal. She didn’t care whether she could practice or not. She had plenty of time later anyway and was not obsessed with immortality.
After returning from Wuming Temple, Shen Yao took some time to go to the government office with Ren Chengzhou.
He briefly explained the matter of Wuming Temple and left enough money at the government office to ensure that help would be provided if anyone needed it.
As for whether the money would be embezzled privately by the government office? The government office is full of shrewd people, and no one is bold enough to offend the royal family.
Ren Chengzhou's name might not be very useful in the capital, but if it is used in a prefecture-level city far away from the capital, there is no need to worry about any problems.
After finishing all the miscellaneous matters, Shen Yao and Ren Chengzhou rested well and continued to head north.
However, because of the incident with Mr. Li, Shen Yao did not ignore Ren Chengzhou in her subsequent actions. The two of them simply acted together in hiding until their actions were discovered by Ren Yangyao's three children.
Ren Yangyao and three other people successfully joined the team, and the number of people in the operation increased to five.
In the mountains and forests, in the fields, in the bustling towns, wherever there are magical legends, there will be the figures of this family of five.
With the help of the various big and small things they encountered in daily life, the three children's practice improved rapidly.
By the time they left the north and headed west, Ren Yangyao and the other two had already mastered several simple spells.
These are all cultivation methods provided by the system, but due to the spiritual energy, the casting is not as smooth and natural as in the world of cultivation.
However, as his cultivation level improves and his spiritual energy reserves increase, he can cast some simple spells with ease.
"Yes, this technique of starting fire is becoming more and more proficient," and I won't have to worry about not having fire when I go out in the future.
As they left the north and headed west, looking at the endless grassland before them, their bodies became more and more sensitive to the spiritual energy they could sense.
Most of the people who had followed them all the way from the capital had already left.
Especially when they each showed some abilities far beyond ordinary people, Ren Chengzhou consciously isolated himself from contact with other people.
Now they are surrounded by servants who know them well, which makes them more relaxed.
"Don't rush into magic. Tonight we should keep moving in the direction of the wind. We should be at the place we are looking for soon."
Shen Yao came over with a map and pointed to their current location.
Entering the northwest, there is an endless grassland, but the grassland is not safe and stable. Various wild beasts that often appear also make them remain extremely vigilant.
"Is there really such a legendary phantom land?" Ren Chengzhou looked up and saw that everyone else was already busy preparing dinner.
"There have been rumors among the herdsmen, and the wolves on the grassland have mutated abnormally, and it was not man-made."
The mutated wolves were several times taller than the original prairie wolves. They had just arrived and had to suffer a lot before they killed them.
Shen Yao even found the inner elixir inside the prairie wolf's body that was about to turn it into a demon.
These unusual behaviors are also the main reason why they chose to go deep into the northwest.
The Land of Fantasy Spirits is a name given by herdsmen to the deep part of the grassland. The reason is that all the mutated beasts come from the deep part of the grassland.
The herdsmen suffered a lot from these mutated wild beasts, and as a result, they moved away from the grassland and migrated outward.
Before Shen Yao and others entered, the government had sent troops to carry out a siege and suppression campaign. Unfortunately, these methods were only temporary solutions and did not address the root cause. The grassland was still ravaged and attacked by these mutated beasts, and the herders suffered heavy losses.
They lowered their heads and discussed the unfolded map until they smelled the aroma of food in the distance.
After putting away the map in their hands, the two of them went to the prepared table and sat down.
"Mom, I want to give it a try this time," Ren Yangzhuo was eager to try after hearing the conversation between his parents.
Ren Yangjue looked at his second brother like this and also looked at Shen Yao with a pair of bright eyes.
Shen Yao didn't say anything, but calmly pushed the food forward, "Eat first, then talk about other things." The child was not even as tall as her waist, but he couldn't wait to try it out. He still had a lot of practice to do.
After eating and drinking, Ren Yangzhuo and Ren Yangjue were still unwilling to give up. They each held Shen Yao in their arms and acted coquettishly.
Ren Yangyao followed his two younger brothers and first discussed the matter in a low voice with his biological father Ren Chengzhou. When he found that this was not going to work, he turned to his biological mother.
Shen Yao:......
Facing three pairs of sparkling eyes, Shen Yao just felt a headache.
"Test the situation first. If the danger isn't too serious, you three can take action. Dad and Mom will be in charge of the defense."
If the danger is very serious, then they have to take action, and the three little ones just need to prioritize their own safety.
The three little ones felt a little disappointed about this, and they also wanted to perform.
The little kid hasn't even grown up yet, but he already has the idea of being a hero, which is beyond Shen Yao's expectations.
Later, when they returned to the world of cultivation, the three little ones simply carried forward the art of chivalry and justice. Only then did Shen Yao realize what was going on and was in a state of confusion.
But those are things that happened later. At present, there are just some signs, but nothing has happened yet.
……
The night light is like water, and the silver glow spreads all over the grassland, like a constantly flowing brilliance.
Several horse-drawn carriages were running fast on the grassland, speeding in the direction of the wind.
Shen Yao opened the curtain beside her and looked toward the place where white mist was rising in the distance.
The spiritual energy becomes more and more dense, and the speculation about the phantom land gradually deepens.
Perhaps there are spiritual grasses growing there? Or maybe it's the essence of plants and trees.
In areas with lush vegetation, the probability of plant essence appearing will increase.
Shen Yao thought she would meet him in the north because there were many mountains and dense forests there.
As a result, after killing several evil snakes, tigers, wolves and other wild beasts, nothing was gained.
When I came to the northwest, I didn't expect that there would be a light at the end of the tunnel.
"What's wrong? Is the situation outside not right?" Ren Chengzhou pulled Shen Yao's wrist and spoke with concern.
"No, I just feel that..." Shen Yao was about to speak when she heard a sudden vibration outside. The speeding carriage was forced to stop, and the entire carriage had to tilt upwards because of the horses' raised hooves.
Shen Yao and Ren Chengzhou subconsciously held onto the handles on the side of the carriage beside them, and reminded the driver not to act rashly for the time being.
Boom, boom, boom—
The noises continued one after another, causing the items in the car to shake and roll.
Shen Yao and Ren Chengzhou lifted the door curtain and jumped out of the carriage. They held swords in one hand and made hand gestures with the other, and stood one in front and one behind, protecting the three carriages behind them.
The white mist in the distance has spread, and pairs of bright red eyes are flashing in it.
