Many children, many blessings; the twelve ancestral witches forced marriages throughout the primordi

Mount Sumeru.

The wind in the dilapidated main hall was colder than yesterday.

As soon as Zhunti sat down on the futon, his heart suddenly clenched.

His vision went black, and he nearly slipped off the prayer mat.

The Jiangzhou Protectorate is gone.

Layer by layer, it was torn apart cleanly, like shredding paper.

Even the piece of Bodhi root bark he had pressed under the threshold of the Chen family's house lost its connection.

Zhunti was stunned for a long time.

Then a sweet taste in my throat.

"puff!"

A mouthful of dark golden holy blood was sprayed onto the dilapidated floor tiles.

The Bodhisattva of Sunlight trembled in fright and quickly retreated.

He panics whenever he sees holy blood.

Recently, Mount Sumeru has been gushing blood too frequently.

The spray made the floor tiles almost absorb the flavor.

Jieyin leaned against the broken stone pillar, his one eye opening with difficulty.

"Junior brother, what's wrong now?"

Zhunti clutched his chest, his teeth chattering.

"The Jiangzhou defensive formation has been dismantled."

The one-eyed guide shrank back.

"Who?"

Zhunti gritted his teeth.

"Lin Xuan's two children."

"Lin Ze, Lin Xi."

"They took the land deeds from the large merchant and said that what I built was an illegal structure."

The main hall fell silent.

The guide remained silent for a long time.

After a while, his voice became dry.

"An illegal building?"

Zhunti slammed his palm down on the nearby gravel.

The stone didn't break.

His palm twitched in pain.

"And I got a parking ticket."

The Bodhisattva of Sunlight felt a chill run down his spine.

He asked instinctively, "How much?"

Zhunti closed his eyes.

"One hundred and thirty thousand top quality fairy stones."

Sunlight Bodhisattva's legs went weak.

He really didn't want to hear the words "top-grade immortal stone" again.

Jieyin clutched his chest, his breathing becoming increasingly labored.

"Did they manage to harm Jin Chanzi when they dismantled the protective formation?"

Zhunti forced himself to continue his calculations.

The purple-gold protective talisman is still there.

The fetal breathing is still present.

Zhunti finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"no."

"The Taoist Ancestor's Golden Talisman protected the tenth generation."

"They did not directly touch the fetus."

Receiving silence.

This is even more disgusting than direct action.

Because the other party completely adheres to the rules.

Dismantling formations.

Issue a parking ticket.

Establish toll stations.

Do not touch the golden cicada at all.

The Heavenly Life-Protecting Golden Talisman had no reason to activate.

Zhunti's face was ashen.

"Senior brother, I will go down to the mortal realm to repair the formation."

Jieyin grabbed him.

"I can't go."

Zhunti angrily retorted, "Are we just going to let them keep Jin Chanzi under our noses?"

The guide's single eye was filled with exhaustion.

"If you go to Jiangzhou, you will enter the territory of the human race."

"The great merchant's destiny is being watched by the golden dragon."

Lin Xuan was also watching.

"If you dare to go down there, he'll dare to start a live stream."

Zhunti's lips trembled.

The title instantly popped into his mind.

A sage was punished by urban management officers for constructing a building without a permit.

A Western religious group was fined 130,000 yuan for illegally occupying land.

Zhunti's departure to Jiangzhou to reinforce the army might turn into...

The indebted saint violently resisted the law.

His vision went black again.

"What should we do then?"

He gritted his teeth as he received the message.

"Bear with it for now."

"As long as the tenth incarnation is born successfully, the destiny of humanity will be fulfilled, and there will be more opportunities later."

Zhunti trembled with humiliation.

He, a sage, dares not even repair the formation outside a mortal city.

This kind of frustration is even more unbearable than losing an arm.

Jiangzhou.

The Chen family courtyard was bustling with activity.

A woman is about to give birth.

Relatives outside carried water back and forth.

An old midwife's forehead was covered in sweat.

"Put more effort into it."

"It'll be soon, it'll be soon."

Above the rooftop, a purple-gold protective talisman quietly lit up.

There were no extraordinary phenomena.

There was no radiant Buddha light.

The concealment that Zhunti had desperately tried to suppress before still had some effect.

But Jin Chanzi's tenth incarnation was no ordinary person.

Before the child was born, the river outside Jiangzhou City had risen slightly by three inches.

A faint golden light flashed from under the eaves.

The next moment, the baby cried.

Jiang Liuer was born.

Under the protection of the Heavenly Dao's life-saving golden talisman, Jin Chanzi's broken true spirit finally settled steadily into a human body.

This time, he wasn't eaten.

It wasn't roasted.

It wasn't stepped on.

It wasn't used to make soup.

A lingering consciousness stirred slightly in the chaos.

He didn't know whether he should be happy or not.

His experiences from his previous nine lives taught him that simply being alive could be the beginning of another round of misfortune.

Outside the courtyard.

The Chen family man had just breathed a sigh of relief and hadn't even had a chance to ask whether it was a man or a woman when the sound of orderly footsteps came from the doorway.

The banner of the Major Merchant Registration Office has arrived.

The leader was a middle-aged civil official in official robes.

Behind him were two female physicians, four guards, and a small carriage with warm jade cushions.

The man from the Chen family was stunned.

"Gentlemen, this is..."

The clerk bowed politely.

"The Registry of Merchants has come to register newborns on the orders of Jiangzhou Prefecture."

The men of the Chen family were even more bewildered.

"Registering immediately after birth?"

The clerk opened the jade book.

"New regulations."

"Anyone born with unusual spiritual energy, river water reactions, or subtle changes in celestial phenomena must register immediately."

"Prevent demons from possessing babies, prevent illegal religious abductions, and prevent unknown forces from swapping infants."

The man from the Chen family immediately changed his expression upon hearing the word "abduction".

"Sir, is the child alright?"

The female physician had already entered the room and was carefully examining the woman and the baby.

A moment later, she came out carrying the swaddled baby.

The baby is quiet.

There is a very faint purple-gold life lock deep between his eyebrows, which is invisible to outsiders.

The female physician had received special training from the Imperial Medical Bureau of the Great Merchant, and the testing jade plate in her hand gleamed slightly.

She looked at the clerk.

"There are remnants of an unusual celestial phenomenon."

The clerk nodded.

"Meets the requirements for centralized training."

The man from the Chen family panicked immediately.

"What do you mean?"

The clerk's tone remained calm.

Don't be afraid.

"According to the laws of the Great Shang Dynasty, newborns with extraordinary talents may be centrally protected and nurtured in government-run welfare institutions."

"Parents are still registered in the household registration, and visitation is permitted."

"The imperial court provides a monthly allowance for raising children."

"The children will receive free education, free martial arts training, and free medicinal cuisine in the future."

The Chen family man's mind was in complete turmoil.

The woman weakly called out from inside the house, "Are you taking the child away?"

The female physician quickly explained.

"It's not robbery."

"It's about protection."

"As you all know, some of those bald monks and Taoist priests outside are not clean."

"We specifically target children with good talent."

The man from the Chen family remembered the anti-fraud notices that had recently been posted in the city.

It says so.

If you encounter a wandering monk or Taoist priest accepting disciples for free, report it to the authorities first.

If someone tells you that your child has a connection to the West, just call the city management officers.

His expression changed repeatedly.

"Can the government guarantee the child's survival?"

The clerk replied earnestly, "Yes."

"The welfare home run by the Shang Dynasty was personally cared for by the chief instructor of the Suiren clan."

"That was a system personally established by Holy Father Lin Xuan."

"Anyone who dares to steal a child is going against the laws of Da Shang."

"They're also going against the Pangu Temple."

Upon hearing the words "Pangu Palace," the men of the Chen family felt reassured.

Although Jiangzhou is remote, the fame of Pangu Temple has long been known throughout the land.

Protecting one's own.

rich.

They can fight.

They even provide meals.

That's enough.

The woman held the child and cried for a while longer.

The female physician fed her half a bowl of warm rice soup and gently comforted her.

"If you miss your child, you can visit the orphanage anytime."

"If a child is talented, it is actually dangerous to keep him at home."

"Recently, the Da Shang dynasty arrested many fake monks who were specifically targeting spiritual children."

The woman gritted her teeth.

"So... what's his name?"

The man from the Chen family said in a low voice, "Someone in my dream said his name was Jiang Liu."

The clerk picked up his pen.

"Chen Jiangliu".

His childhood name was Jiang Liuer.

"Talent category, to be determined."

"Temporary protection level, A."

The moment the words were written on the jade scroll.

Above Jiangzhou City, the human destiny trembled slightly.

The Heavenly Protection Talisman glowed faintly, as if it had discovered that the destiny had been registered, yet could not find any flaws.

The child is registered under the ethnic minority household registration system.

Compliance.

The child went to an orphanage.

Compliance.

The child is protected and nurtured.

More compliant.

Hongjun, far away in Zixiao Palace, had a moment of gloom on his face.

He saw it.

But he couldn't say it.

Because the tenth incarnation is alive.

The mandate of heaven has not been severed.

The only difference was that the "secret protection of the Western religion" had changed to "centralized training in welfare institutions run by large merchants".

Hongjun stared at the Heavenly River of Secrets for a long time without moving.

This isn't a script collapse.

This is a script that someone took and modified into a paid version.

Jiangzhou Welfare Home.

The gate is wide.

Several large characters were written on the plaque above the door.

The government-run children's training institute in Jiangzhou, a major commercial city.

The secondary plaque is even more straightforward.

No tuition fees are charged.

Meals and accommodation are provided.

Job placement guaranteed upon graduation.

When Jiang Liuer was brought in, a group of children were eating breakfast in the courtyard.

Spirit rice porridge.

Minced meat from a monster.

Medicinal eggs.

There was also a bowl of light body-tempering soup.

The lady in charge of registration took the swaddling clothes.

"New here?"

The clerk nodded.

"Class A protection".

The woman was taken aback.

"So young and already at Grade A?"

She looked down at Jiang Liuer.

The baby's eyes were closed, and it was unusually quiet.

The woman reached out and tapped his face.

"Very well-behaved."

A burly, shirtless man was walking over carrying a large bone club.

It was Suiren.

He lowered his voice a little when he saw the swaddling clothes.

"A promising newcomer?"

The clerk bowed respectfully.

"Chief Instructor, the newborn of the Chen family in Jiangzhou."

"There were unusual phenomena at the time of birth."

Suirenshi looked down and glanced at it.

"Too thin."

"We'll start adding medicinal cuisine tomorrow."

The woman's lips twitched.

"Head Instructor, he was just born."

Suirenshi was very serious.

"You need to lay the foundation right after birth."

"As the Father said, children should be nurtured from a young age."

Jiang Liuer stirred slightly in the swaddling clothes.

Upon hearing the words "Holy Father" in his remaining consciousness, he felt a chill run down his spine.

For some reason, he found this title even more terrifying than Wutian.

At the same time.

In Mount Sumeru.

Just as Zhunti caught his breath, he suddenly sensed that Jiang Liuer's destiny had been incorporated into the household register of the Great Merchant.

His face turned deathly pale instantly.

"Senior brother."

Jieyin barely managed to open his eyes.

"What's wrong now?"

Zhunti's lips trembled for a long time.

"Jin Chanzi... was taken away by the household registration office of Dashang."

The one-eyed guide rolled his eyes.

This time, not even blood spurted out.

He just opened his mouth blankly.

"Household registration office?"

Zhunti sat blankly on the moldy prayer mat, with only one thought in his mind.

The pilgrims on the journey to the West, before even learning Buddhism, were already enrolled in the Buddhist hierarchy.
