He emphasized the four words "secret records of ancient books".
"We can carefully 'select,' 'organize,' and even 'create' a series of seemingly ancient, profound, and wisdom-filled parenting texts. The key words are 'ancient,' 'secret,' and 'profound,' so that Su Li feels they contain ancient wisdom she doesn't understand that will benefit her child! For example, 'Ancient Formulas for Nurturing Chaos Cub's Origin,' 'Secret Records of Soul-Calming and Soul-Calming in the Starry Sky,' 'Heart Sutra for the Co-production of All Spirits,' 'Heavenly Chapters for the Enlightenment of the Mysterious Child'... The names should be impressive, the content should be profound, and they should be interspersed with seemingly plausible ancient prescriptions, meditation diagrams, and rune tracks..."
"Brilliant!" The Northern Di Emperor slammed the ice table. "Let her study it herself! Let her try it out! As long as she believes it and follows our 'Secret Records', we'll be in control no matter what the outcome! If it works, it'll be thanks to our 'Ancient Books'; if it doesn't, or even causes harm... that's Su Li's own fault for not being well-trained and using the right methods! We can even turn the tables and accuse her of killing the Son of Chaos!"
"Furthermore," the strategist added sinisterly, "we can incorporate into these 'secret records' some extremely obscure information on how to 'stabilize' the origin of Chaos and how to 'channel' its power... **specific rituals or 'guiding' runes**. As long as she unconsciously uses them while caring for the child, or if the child comes into contact with them... over time, dripping water wears away a stone! We can't expect to control it, but even if we only plant a small 'seed', it could become our chance for a comeback in the future! This is a hundred times more effective than directly instilling faith!"
The four monarchs' eyes lit up. This move was toxic! Coated in the sweetness of "for your own good," it concealed a slowly corrosive poison. They exploited a mother's deepest love and anxiety for her child, prompting her to proactively access a potentially treacherous "secret ancient book"!
"Do it immediately!" A new fire ignited in the eyes of the Xiling Emperor. "Gather the strength of the four kingdoms to search, compile, and make it look old! It must be quick! It must be authentic! She must recognize it as a lost treasure at first sight! This time, we offer her a 'scripture', a 'child-rearing manual' she can't refuse!"
**Section 3: “Ancient Books” Visit and System Alarm**
A few days later, another convoy appeared before the general's residence. This time, it was small, consisting of only four carriages covered in thick, dark blue oilcloth, exuding the air of ancient dust. There were no monks or priests, only four elderly men in simple linen robes, their expressions as humble as those of old clerks, each guarding a carriage.
"I, an old servant of the Donghuang Taishi Pavilion, am here on the orders of the Pavilion Master to escort a batch of ancient child-rearing manuals that have been hidden in the pavilion for a long time and present them to Madam Su. The Pavilion Master said that these are secret collections from the previous dynasty's palace and may be of some help in raising your family's children." The old clerk of Donghuang tremblingly handed over an ancient catalog list.
"A clerk from the Xiling Lantai Archives has sent over a batch of fragments of ancient notes left behind by an astrological family, describing methods for soothing infants and guiding spiritual wisdom..."
"The keeper of the Northern Di Hanyuan Book Cave presents a rubbing of an ancient recipe for strengthening the body of a child, frozen in the cave for countless years..."
"The old man sweeping the floor of the Southern Xinjiang Insect Book House presents me with a few ancient scrolls of the Insect Master family's records of the symbiotic and mutually beneficial relationship with young spirit beasts..."
His attitude was humble, and his reasoning was sound—they weren't holy relics, not authentic scriptures, but simply some "old," "potentially useful," "for reference only" copies or rubbings of ancient parenting texts. His attitude was extremely humble, as if he had simply found some dusty old items while cleaning out the warehouse, and had eagerly brought them over, thinking they might be of some use to the talented wife of the prestigious general's mansion.
The concierge passed the message inside. Su Li, who was checking a list of newly arrived medicinal herbs at the pharmacy, raised her eyebrows slightly. "Ancient child-rearing books? And they were delivered from all four countries at once?" She put down the herbs and walked to the window, gazing toward the mansion gate. The four oilcloth-covered carriages, like silent ancient bookcases, exuded the stale air of piles of old papers.
"Mother, the abacus is sensing a faint, subtle mental induction wave, originating from within the carriage!" Chen Bao's small abacus hovered beside him, emitting a subtle hum. A complex analytical model was constructed amidst the swirling golden light. "It's different from the previous faith indoctrination. It's more like... a knowledge-based suggestion and guidance trap, with an extremely faint residual rune signal similar to a 'cognitive anchor point'."
Su Li's eyes turned cold. As expected, a dog will always eat shit! The faith juicer was flooded with saliva, and it changed to a more insidious routine!
"System!" she muttered in her heart.
The electronic sound of the poisonous tongue system carried a hint of laziness and precise sarcasm, as if it had been forcibly turned on:
**[Ding! Detected the four-nation joint delivery of 'intellectual sugar-coated bullets'! 】**
**[Carrier:** A collection of mind-inducing traps disguised as 'ancient parenting books' (containing 0.5% effective parenting common sense + 99.5% metaphysical nonsense + 0.01% high-risk cognitive anchor runes). **]**
**[Purpose:** Exploiting the host's anxiety and curiosity about parenting, inducing them to actively engage with and try these methods, subtly implanting spiritual guidance factors and laying long-term hidden dangers.**]**
**[Danger Rating:** Chronic poison level (harmless in the short term, but may cause cognitive bias in children or their origins to be secretly guided in the long term).**]**
**【Handling suggestions:】**
1. **Physical isolation:** Refuse to sign for the carriage, and burn it on the spot (this may trigger public criticism from the four countries, accusing the host of burning ancient civilization books).**
2. **Hazardous Disposal:** After receipt, this system will conduct a thorough scan and disinfection (this will consume the host's current "offensive energy" reserve).**
3. **Waste Utilization:** After signing for the package, it will be handed over to His Majesty Zero for "ultimate harmless treatment" (saliva submersion method). The product can be used as a table leg pad, wall plaster, or fire starter.**
