Jiang Sheng looked at him steadily, his eyes full of disbelief: "Master, are you sure you can protect me? Then how are you going to protect me? Just follow me anytime, anywhere."
"Why don't you tell me how I should deal with these people? Since they want my luck, they will approach me and try to please me. What harm will that do to me?"
Taoist Zhang rubbed his nose and said helplessly: "Yes, I am a righteous person and I won't do anything to you. But if it is an evil person, he will bewitch you. Once you sign a life and death contract with him."
"If the other party controls your soul, you will completely become a puppet, a puppet in the hands of the other party to hide from the law of heaven."
"I don't need to tell you what will happen then. I'll use you to kill people to improve my own cultivation, then drain your luck bit by bit, and kill you when you're no longer useful."
"The evil path's goal is simple: power and status. They want to stand out openly and honestly, deceive the world, and use their blood and souls for their own purposes..."
Jiang Sheng understood and asked seriously, "As long as I don't trust others and don't cooperate with them to sell myself out, will everything be fine?"
Taoist Zhang hesitated and nodded: "That's right, but just because you can defend yourself against outsiders doesn't mean you can defend yourself against those around you."
"If someone around you is bewitched and tempts you to do something, what will you do? So from now on, you will wear this jade pendant to hide your aura."
Taking out an ancient jade pendant, Taoist Zhang's eyes were full of heartache. This was the treasure of their sect, and it would be heartbreaking for him to give it away for nothing.
Jiang Sheng looked at the sparkling golden light on the jade pendant and immediately knew that it was a good thing. Without saying a word, he grabbed it and said with a smile, "Thank you for your kindness, Taoist priest. I will wear it with me all the time."
As he said that, he hung it directly around his neck, tucked it inside his clothes, and put it against his skin, feeling much more at ease.
Taoist Zhang turned his face away and said distressedly, "When the other hidden Xuanmen families come out and destroy those evil ways, Third Young Master, remember to return the poor Taoist jade pendant."
Jiang Sheng was amused to see him like this, but said sincerely, "Okay, I'll definitely return it to you when the time comes. Now why don't you draw some more talismans, Taoist priest?"
"I want to protect my family so they won't be misled by others. Don't you think so? The world is already in chaos enough. Those who mess around should stay out of the trouble."
"Okay, I want the best cinnabar talisman paper to draw the talisman."
Jiang Sheng looked at Yang Er and said softly, "Go prepare these things for the Taoist priest. Treat him well from now on. Just give him whatever he wants to eat and drink."
The meaning is very clear. Apart from eating and drinking, you don't need to worry about anything else.
Yang Er nodded in understanding, turned and left.
"Master, go with Yang Er and buy whatever you need. You can also decide whether to set up a formation for this house. Just do whatever is best for my family."
"Well, I understand."
Jiang Sheng and the others left, and he slipped into the space, searching for something in the bamboo house, feeling more and more uneasy.
Obviously, there were no such things in his previous life, but why is this life so chaotic? He had never heard of Xuanmen before, but he had heard a lot about charlatans. Why are they showing up now?
I searched around but couldn't find any relevant books. I can only tell myself to be more careful in the future and not trust others easily.

In the Hun tent
A man in a black robe walked in and sat down, his expression calm and composed. "Great Khan, winter is approaching, and we don't have enough food this year. Should we send someone to Dagan?"
After this trip, everyone understood what it meant. Every winter, they had a hard time and not enough food, so they had to go to the border villages to steal food.
Who made the country weak, yet it has abundant land and food?
The bearded man in the upper position drank a glass of wine upon hearing this, turned his head to look at the man in the black robe, and whispered, "Your Excellency is asking me when is the right time for me to send my men off."
Youying had been in Xiongnu for a year and knew the place like the back of his hand. He chuckled and said, "Of course, the sooner the better. We should prepare food for the Xiongnu people so they can survive the winter."
"Well, it's not too cold to set off now. If we wait until it snows, our soldiers will suffer, what do you think, Khan?"
"Your Excellency, your words make sense. Then let General Naji go with... 20,000 soldiers to attack the surrounding villages and bring back half the food for our people."
"Leave the remaining half for them to continue raising them until next year."
Hearing this, Youying's eyes flickered down and he whispered, "Khan, why don't I go there too? I can also take a look at the scenery of Dagan."
"Oh, I also heard that the Jiang family came to the Northern Wilderness. If there is any emergency, I can still take action, and the soldiers will be able to have a smoother journey."
Great Khan Hu Hao also smiled and nodded: "Alright, it would be better if you could go with your Excellency. It would be more convenient to divine the good and bad luck. So when will you set off?"
"Two days later, the sooner the better."
"Okay, Naji, you will go and collect the grain this time. You must protect the Venerable Lord. If anything goes wrong, I will not forgive you."
Naji, wearing a waistcoat, glanced at the man in black robe and whispered, "Yes, Khan. I will definitely bring back the food."
Two days later, a team of 20,000 people headed towards the border.
The shadow looked over with deep eyes, as if thinking of something funny. A bloodthirsty smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said casually: "Has General Naji ever been to the northern wilderness border before?"
“…No, but I’ve heard about it from other people.”
"Oh, really? Have you ever played the game of massacre?"
Naji looked at him in astonishment, wondering if he had heard it wrong. Why would the Venerable, with such a mysterious identity, say such words? How could the massacre of the village not be a war?
"Sir, what are you talking about? This is not a time of war. We don't need to massacre the entire village to intimidate the enemy. All we need is food."
The shadow chuckled softly, "Oh, I was just joking. General Naji, don't take it too seriously. I'm just a little curious. They say the Huns are fierce and bloodthirsty."
"I didn't expect General Najib to be so different and actually be so kind. It's really surprising."
Naji frowned slightly, always feeling that this man spoke strangely. He did things for a purpose. If he had no purpose, why would he kill people at will? Wouldn't those corpses still need to be dealt with? What a hassle.
The two of them had nothing in common, so naturally they rarely talked.
Three days later, the team arrived at the border forest and hid in the dark waiting for an opportunity. Naji sent people out to investigate the situation. If there was no problem, they could go and rob food at night.
A soldier trotted over and knelt on the ground. "General, we've already investigated and found out that Beihuang City has a bumper harvest of grain this year. If we take it back, we won't starve."
"Haha, good, a great harvest! Remember to take away half of the food and keep half. Kill those who don't obey, but don't touch those who obey and cooperate."
