Become a winner in life after binding the childbearing system

"In that case, let's go and take a look."

Taoist Changsheng was just about to leave with General Jiang, but before he could take two steps forward, he felt some resistance on his legs.

When he looked down, he found that it was the obedient disciple he had brought over to talk.

Uh……

Lin Shengjing looked at Taoist Changsheng pitifully, with her lips curled up and she was about to burst into tears.

This is a unique ability of children. It may not be good for others to do this, but children have considerable freedom and privileges.

Taoist Changsheng was so frightened that he quickly pulled Lin Shengjing over, even if he had to bend down and lower his head. Compared with his little disciple's crying, his own physical discomfort was nothing.

Lin Shengjing held back her tears as she wished, but she still spoke with tears in her voice, and called out "Master" to Taoist Changsheng with sobs.

General Jiang, standing in the background, said: ...

Could it be that Taoist Changsheng wants to take a baby who is still breastfeeding with him when he goes out?

God knows that even his youngest son, who is six years old, cannot join the military camp. It seems unreasonable.

"General Jiang, we don't need to enter the military camp for the time being, we just need to go and see the bodies of those soldiers," Taoist Changsheng touched his beard, somewhat believing that General Jiang really had not invited any expert in this field.

General Jiang nodded and said, "Master Changsheng, please come this way."

The two parties left the house. On the way, Taoist Changsheng emphasized to his little disciple not to cry or make a fuss, as it would easily scare him of some unspeakable things.

Lin Shengjing: ...u?w?u

Lin Shengjing nodded with a silly look on his face, and said in a baby voice that he would definitely not cry. He had already come out safely with his master, so why was he still crying?

"Master, Jing'er is obedient," Don't worry, her father and mother both praise her for being smart and sensible.

Taoist Changsheng chuckled upon hearing this, and his face was filled with satisfaction, which made General Jiang, who was sitting next to him, feel a toothache.

嘶

The news didn't say that Taoist Changsheng loved the little princess born to Prince Chongjing and the princess, who had not yet received a corresponding title. Why is he asking for anything of her now?

There were some things he didn't understand but couldn't say, so General Jiang simply closed his eyes and rested.

Seeing this, Lin Shengjing glanced furtively at the tall, fat and strong general. Well, should she say something?

The smell on this uncle's body smelled a little strange, just like the smell that happens when fresh fruit is left for a long time.

Master said that this is a symptom of invasion by evil spirits. People will become extremely weak and eventually become just a bag of bones. It's terrifying.

Looking at Taoist Changsheng with his round grape eyes, Lin Shengjing raised his chubby little hands to cover his mouth and called out "Master" in a very low voice.

Taoist Changsheng calmly gestured to Lin Shengjing to be quiet.

Oh ~

Lin Shengjing opened his mouth slightly, then slowly closed it and sat up straight.

Well, he is worthy of being his carefully selected disciple, with strong abilities and understanding!

Even the little boy Lin Shengjing, who has not yet formally practiced, knows about the problems of General Jiang. How could his master, Taoist Changsheng, not know?

He just felt that if he didn't reveal the matter, it would inevitably alert the enemy, so it would be better to follow General Jiang's arrangements, and by the way, he could tie General Jiang to his side without anyone noticing.

Taoist Priest Changsheng has practiced Taoism for many years and believes that he is quite capable. No matter whether General Jiang is being plotted against or has other intentions, he can deal with it.

Now let’s deal with the bodies of the dead soldiers first.

The carriage moved forward, but did not turn into the military camp in front, but entered a small path on the side. After about a quarter of an hour, General Jiang suddenly opened his eyes and said, "We're here."

Taoist Changsheng brought Lin Shengjing out of the carriage. In front of the master and disciple was a row of wooden houses. The surrounding area was bare, as if it was an area that had been specially cleared.

General Jiang looked ahead with emotion, and finally told Taoist Changsheng seriously that the bodies of the soldiers were inside the house.

Those who died a long time ago have already been buried, but those who died recently have not yet been resettled.

"This place..." A strange light flashed in Taoist Changsheng's eyes.

"It was a wandering Taoist priest who came from nowhere and requested this kind of construction.

It also emphasized that the dead and wounded soldiers must be laid to rest for a certain period of time before they can be buried.”

General Jiang was extremely angry when he said these words, and his fists were clenched so tightly that they made a creaking sound.

Taoist Priest Changsheng did not say much, only saying that doing so could indeed alleviate some of the situation. For example, the incident was still within the controllable range, and the number of casualties would not increase suddenly. However, this method of treating the symptoms but not the root cause could not calm the whole thing down.

"Yes, we didn't believe it before, thinking that the wandering Taoist priest was just a facade."

The casualties were dealt with in their own way, which resulted in accidents on the spot, causing far more damage than the original deaths.

They had no choice but to believe the ironclad facts, and in the end, this place became a special place to accommodate the wounded soldiers.

"Calm your mind and maintain unity! General Jiang, don't get caught up in this. Now that I'm here, I'll personally meet these evildoers!"

Upon hearing this, General Jiang bowed respectfully to the Taoist Changsheng and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Taoist Changsheng."

Lin Shengjing couldn't go in with Taoist Changsheng, so she stayed outside obediently and watched Taoist Changsheng and General Jiang enter.

"Princess, why don't you go back to the carriage and rest first."

The sun was very hot, and the servants were worried that the young master would feel uncomfortable.

"No, I'm waiting here for Master."

The little guy had a chubby face and stared straight at the row of wooden houses in front.

In the eyes of other ordinary people, this place is just ordinary, but it still feels a bit eerie and cool under the scorching sun.

But in Lin Shengjing's eyes, there was a dark devil's cave ahead, and those neatly arranged houses were the entrances to the devil's cave, which were constantly devouring the vitality of the surroundings.

There are no birds singing in the woods here, the soil is dry, and the leaves are yellowing, all of which are manifestations of the loss of vitality.

Well

Nothing should happen to the master.

Lin Shengjing's heart was beating fast and furious, and he wanted to take out the talisman paper in his small purse and stick it all over the place.

Inside the house, it was even colder and darker than outside.

Even though General Jiang was a brave general who had fought on the battlefield for many years, he was still terrified.

Seeing the unconscious and yet able to walk around, carefully examining the corpses covered with white cloth, General Jiang's admiration for Taoist Changsheng reached its peak at this moment.

Warrior!

Taoist Changsheng was really not afraid, because he often saw such scenes, and sometimes they were much more terrifying than this.

The covered corpses were exposed to the light of day one by one. Taoist Changsheng walked through them all and sighed at the end, which frightened General Jiang.

what?

It can’t be a big deal!

Can you hold on?

In just a short moment, all kinds of speculations appeared in General Jiang's mind, until Taoist Changsheng said in a deep voice, "This matter is related to a kind of demon."

"Master, can you help me?" General Jiang asked hurriedly.

Taoist Changsheng nodded and then shook his head. "Charms born in water are called water charms, those born in mountains and forests are called wood charms, those born in the soil are called earth charms, and the charms of gold and fire are the rarest and most harmful."

Mei is a relatively special monster, similar to the Xia monster in Danxia City, but the Xia monster is not dangerous and can produce Caixia Dan which is beneficial to human monsters. However, Mei has no advantages at all. They are even born vicious and absorb human vitality to speed up their own cultivation.

Without exception, all of these injured and dead soldiers died due to lack of vitality.

This way of dying is very painful, because vitality is the basis for maintaining the body's functioning. When vitality disappears little by little, people will first feel uncomfortable, and then all kinds of messy situations will arise.

Such as seeing some scenes that ordinary people cannot see, then having hallucinations, unable to distinguish between reality and illusion, and finally dying of mental collapse.

These people usually do not die of natural causes, but choose to commit suicide because they cannot bear the pain in the later stages. This kind of self-destruction is full of despair, and even the steel-like bodies that have fought on the battlefield for many years are not immune.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many wooden houses here. The soldiers inside all died miserably. If the overall situation couldn't be controlled, even if the number of wooden houses here doubled, they would still be full.

General Jiang became even more anxious about this, but seeing that Taoist Changsheng was still able to talk freely, he believed that this evil spirit was not unsolvable.

'Charm?'

Shen Yao supported her chin and raised her eyebrows, thinking that she had really gained a lot of knowledge.

There are demons in Seven Star City? They are creatures more vicious than ordinary demons.

It looks like a demon but is not a demon. It was born from the darkness of human hearts and uses vitality as its raw material. It is the most hated alien species among all creatures in the world.

Its attacks are impartial, whether human or demon, they are all its food.

"Host, it's so scary, but this General Jiang is really tight-lipped." If Taoist Changsheng hadn't come with the team, he might have kept it a secret.

Shen Yao:......

"What good is there in speaking out about this?" "It's nothing more than creating panic. Beyond Qixing City is the enemy's border. General Jiang's duty is to guard the frontier. Nothing is more important than keeping it safe."

"But if I don't tell you, what will happen if it gets out of hand?" I'm afraid it will be disastrous.

"By then, General Jiang had already become a pile of dry bones." "A catastrophic disaster? What does that have to do with a general who has already closed his eyes?"

system:……

"Okay, don't worry about the demon. Since Taoist Changsheng can point out the problem, it means he has a way to deal with it."

It’s just a matter of the price to be paid. As long as General Chiang is determined, there is nothing that cannot be accomplished.

General Chiang: ...

General Jiang listened to the solution proposed by Taoist Changsheng with a stiff face. If this place was not too weird, he really wanted to tie this man up and throw him out.

Listen, what is this?

Use the soldiers who have been tricked as bait to lure the demon out.

"Master Changsheng, isn't that a bit too cruel?" Those soldiers were barely hanging on by a thread. Using them as bait? That would be sending them to their deaths.

Taoist Changsheng: ...

Taoist Changsheng looked at General Jiang in front of him with surprise, thinking that if he was soft-hearted at a time like this, wouldn't he be trying to send these soldiers to their deaths?

He only has one breath left. To put it bluntly, he is in great danger. If he doesn't fight now, when will he fight?

Taoist Changsheng felt that he made such arrangements only because he truly wanted to save these soldiers. He just waited for the demon to appear and take back their lost vitality. Then they could nourish them for a few days. Not to mention recovering as before, they would be able to live to old age in peace.

After telling others about his plan, although General Jiang still looked hesitant, at least he did not react as violently as before.

"I naturally believe in Taoist Changsheng. I'll leave this matter to you."

"Okay, okay. I can't make any promises, I can only do my best."

Doing your best is enough.

The two men came out of the wooden house while talking and left in a carriage.

In the following days, Taoist Changsheng purchased the supplies he needed and made full preparations to attract the demon.

There were new casualties among the soldiers during this period, but such matters were usually beyond human control. General Jiang could only suppress them while placing his hopes on Taoist Changsheng.

The system spends most of its time hanging around Taoist Changsheng, so it tells the host any movement here. Therefore, even though Shen Yao often goes shopping and having fun with Lin Xingzhi, she still does not miss the latest developments.

"Wow, this old man is really cunning, he actually has a hidden trick!"

"Oh, oh, oh, General Jiang has thick eyebrows and big eyes, but I didn't expect him to take the initiative to betray the court."

"These soldiers are so strange. How could they stay in the barracks honestly and still have their vitality sucked away by the demon? There is no demon in the barracks at all!"

'...'

The system kept chattering away, and Shen Yao couldn't get a word in.

However, she had long been accustomed to the various twists and turns in life. General Jiang being a traitor? Normal. Even if General Jiang was colluding with the demon, she would not be surprised at all.

"Wow! How come this great general still keeps a demon in his house?"

Shen Yao:......

"Are you reading this right? Charming demons are formless, and because they absorb vitality, their transformed forms are extremely ugly." "This is the balance of world consciousness. Vitality is the source of all things. Charming demons go against this principle and are courting death."

The system said that it was impossible for an artificial intelligence to make such a low-level mistake. It must be a demon!

It is completely black, with four eyes, two noses, a mouth, and no exposed ears.

It doesn't live up to its name at all, what's so charming about it?

Shen Yao was thoughtful, wondering if Taoist Changsheng would encounter any mishaps. It seemed that General Jiang was also a man with a story.

The system says there is no story it doesn't know, no matter who General Jiang or General Zhou is, it's worth having 24/7 monitoring.

No one can withstand the system's detection. If anyone can, it must be because the detection time is not enough.

The system was running at full speed, running back and forth between Taoist Changsheng and General Jiang.

Until the Taoist Changsheng was ready with all his preparations and had his carriages and horses ready to wait for the demon to come, the system also pieced together a touching love story from General Jiang's several idle remarks.

Simply put, it is about a pair of lovers who fall in love but fail to get married.

The final result was that the woman jumped into the water and died, while the man became a high-ranking official with many wives, concubines and children, but he still missed the white moonlight in his heart.

Shen Yao: ...Oh, what a clichéd story.
