Chapter 0189 Recruitment Success
Whether the fox story is true or not, or how much water is mixed in it, it has little to do with Lu Sen.
The demise of the Central Plains cultivation world was not essentially caused by foxes, but more of the responsibility lies with those so-called whales.
What’s more, how many years has Lu Sen only been in this world?
Roughly speaking, it was only four years, and the people and things he came into contact with had nothing to do with the world of cultivation.
Be it his three wives or their relatives, they have nothing to do with the cultivation world...Oh, the Yang family can barely be said to have some relationship with the Lishan Sect.
Even if the spiritual energy of heaven and earth had not been exhausted, people like them would have almost no chance to practice.
It was Lu Sen who brought his three wives into the world of cultivation.
In essence, he was just a fool who got involved in this by accident.
The people and events from more than two hundred years ago meant nothing to him.
The only shocking point is probably the fact that the vixen loves to fall in love with the scholar, which is confirmed.
So facing Nujiao's surprise, Lu Sen took the initiative to step forward, dismantle the wooden fence, and then put it into his system backpack.
"I am not interested in the grudges between you and the cultivation world two hundred years ago." As he spoke, he dismantled half of the wooden fence and put it into his system backpack: "So I will not care where you go in the future. But there is one thing, please promise me."
The fox took a look at the dismantled wooden fences around it. It was very strong and knew that the wooden fence had formed a barrier before, which prevented it from getting out. Now that it had been dismantled, the meaning was obvious: it was free.
But...the spiritual energy in the air seemed to have disappeared.
As a great demon, the fox's thirst for spiritual energy far exceeds that of ordinary demons or shikigami, so when it was deprived of spiritual energy, it suddenly felt uncomfortable all over.
It just endured the discomfort and said: "Master Lu, you are my savior. Please feel free to ask for anything I can do."
"After you leave here, you must not tell anyone that there are a lot of silver mines underground."
The fox nodded gently: "This is not difficult, it is what should be done. Does Master Lu also want to use silver to build an environment where the spiritual energy will not disappear too easily?"
Can silver prevent spiritual energy from disappearing?
The fox saw the surprise in Lu Sen's eyes, and it grinned, revealing its dense teeth. It was laughing: "Places with more silver can effectively slow down the speed at which spiritual energy disappears. Otherwise, with the amount of demonic energy I need, I would have died long ago and would not have survived until now."
So that's why. No wonder the fox hid inside the silver mine.
Seeing that the fox agreed, Lu Lin put away the remaining wooden fence. When he was about to leave, he suddenly remembered something and said, "Also, the descendants of the Abe family are looking for you. I hope you can return the Yin-Yang Order to them."
"Oh, is this Master Lu's order?" Fox stood up and shook his body: "If so, I will return the Yin-Yang Order to their family."
"I'm just passing on the message. It's your business whether you return it or not." Lu Sen smiled and turned around to leave.
The fox was stunned for a moment, thinking about something.
It was at this time that Snow Girl suddenly said, "My dear, can we let Nujiao go with us?"
Lu Sen really wanted to recruit this fox and turn it into a fairy.
But the other party has a lot of "experiences", not to mention the love between a human and a demon, he has fought with the cultivation world in the Central Plains, and he is also a top-notch demon in Japan. He can be said to be a legendary figure.
Would such a person be willing to live in his own small system home?
Being controlled and manipulated by others?
Lu Sen thought it was unlikely, so he gave up the idea of recruiting him.
He looked at the fox, then at the Snow Girl, and said, "She probably doesn't like being under someone else."
"My dear, you underestimated Nv Jiao. She was once a shikigami of the Abe family."
"Then the terms of her contract are probably very loose, that is, she will help as much as possible and will not be subject to orders or constraints, while the Abe family will need to provide her with a lot of resources, right?"
When the Snow Girl heard this, she exclaimed, "My dear, you are so amazing, it is true."
After all, he is a great demon. Being willing to form a nominal contract with a shikigami is already giving face to the Abe family.
In fact, during the time when the fox was the shikigami of the Abe family, it never took any action, and there was no need for it to take any action. Almost no one dared to cause trouble for the Abe family at that time because its name was so famous.
"That's all." Lu Sen said with a smile, "I still have some self-awareness."
The Snow Girl said, "My dear, you are too self-deprecating. Isn't it normal for a woman to look down on barbarians? But you are different. We are both orthodox Yanhuang people, and you are a cultivator. How can you be compared to a mere barbarian?"
As soon as these words came out, Lu Sen suddenly realized.
Therefore, Lu Sen, who believes in the idea that all human souls are equal, also regards the Japanese people of this era as human beings.
This led to a misjudgment: the Abe family of the Yin-Yang family was unable to subdue a great demon, and he had only been in this world for about four years, so how could he truly subdue such a vixen.
If it is a "loose contract" like Abe's, he would rather not let this fox into his home.
But in fact, the vixen looked down on the Abe family.
And his "status" in the eyes of the fox and the snow girl seemed to be very high.
No wonder the Snow Girl was so willing to be "recruited" by me so easily; it turned out that she had this consideration.
After understanding this, Lu Sen looked at the fox and asked, "Nu Jiao, are you willing to join my Lu family and become a member of my family's staff or family generals?"
The fox squatted on its hind legs, raised and spread its six tails, forming a large circle of fur, which looked quite beautiful.
"Can I have some spiritual energy to eat?" The fox looked at Lu Sen expectantly: "I don't want too much either, half the amount I just had every day will be enough."
The conditions are so simple?
After listening to this, Lu Sen chuckled and said, "No problem."
"The girl greets my lover." The fox spoke in human language while lowering the front half of her body to the ground, as if she was performing a salute: "From now on, my surname will be Lu, and my real name will be Xianxian."
Lu Xianxian?
Nujiao is just a unified title for adult females in the fox tribe, just like the way friends in some provinces address everyone as "big brother".
But why did he change his surname to Lu? Lu Sen couldn't understand.
The fox stood up and saw Lu Sen's surprised look, and smiled: "This is the rule of our Qingqiu foxes. If you marry into a family, you will take his surname. This is why my great-grandmother was called Su Dafei."
Consort Su Dafei, daughter of Su Hu.
In fact, Qingqiu foxes do not have a "surname" before they get married or recognize their master.
Surname is the right of human beings.
It was "conferred" or "granted" by the previous emperor.
Normally, spirits only have a first name, not a last name.
Hence, there is a saying that spirits and monsters ask for "titles" from humans.
But Lu Sen still felt it was weird, because in the Northern Song Dynasty, when a woman changed her surname to follow a man's, it was usually a "marriage".
But then he put the matter aside and said with a smile: "Since you have become a member of my Lu family, I will give you some gifts."
As he said this, he took out a colorful feathered robe, and then looked at the fox again: "Can you transform into a human form? If not, I will give you another gift."
If the fox cannot, or does not want to transform into a human form, Lu Sen will be a little depressed, because he is still looking forward to transforming the fox spirit into a "fairy", and then together with the Snow Girl, he can cultivate a peach tree for himself.
The fox looked at the colorful feathered robe in Lu Sen's hand, and then at the one the Snow Girl was wearing, with a gleam of joy in its eyes. Then it said, "My dear, can you go out for a while? It's not very elegant when I transform."
It doesn't look very elegant. It's probably because he had no clothes when he transformed.
Lu Sen guessed something in his mind, so he handed the colorful feathered robe to the Snow Girl, then walked out of the cave first and sealed the entrance with some stones.
After waiting outside for about an incense stick of time, he heard knocking sounds coming from behind the earth wall. Lu Sen put the stone wall back into the system backpack, and saw two women in dazzling feathered clothes in front of him.
Then...his eyes felt uncomfortable again.
The light pollution is really too serious.
But even with just a quick glance, he saw the appearance of another woman, a woman with black hair like a waterfall, a face as white as jade, and eyes as slender as willow leaves.
I can't describe how beautiful she is, she is simply charming, with a natural charm that is even more alluring than Bilian who transformed into a Qingqiu fox.
After all, a fake fox is no match for a real fox.
Lu Sen exclaimed in his heart, and then said: "Come with me, I have to tell Mei'er about this."
Fox...now she should be called Lu Xianxian. Seeing that Lu Sen was not moved by her appearance, she felt relieved.
She was afraid that her new lover would see her like this and would either be overjoyed or show hatred... Both expressions were too extreme, but they were indeed the reactions a normal practitioner would have when seeing a vixen.
It is really rare to find someone like Lu Sen who is ordinary and plain.
The three of them went up to the Taoist palace on the ground, and Pang Meir was directing the black-clad family soldiers to arrange some green plants and flowers.
She was very happy to see Lu Sen at first, with a smile on her face, but when she saw Lu Xianxian standing next to the Snow Girl, her expression suddenly twisted.
"Sir, you are no longer interested in Bilian's fake fox. Are you looking for a real fox to play with now?"
Hearing this, Xue Nu chuckled. She knew that although Pang Meir was a bit bad-tempered, she was actually a good person.
When Lu Xianxian heard this, she felt a little embarrassed.
Lu Sen took Pang Mei'er's hand and said with a smile: "Don't be jealous. In my eyes, she is not as beautiful as you."
This is indeed true. If we ignore temperament and only consider appearance, Pang Meir is probably the ceiling of the Northern Song Dynasty at that time.
But the problem is that, in addition to appearance, temperament, figure, and posture when sitting, lying, walking or standing are also very important in terms of charm.
The vixen Lu Xianxian far surpasses Pang Meir in these aspects.
So although she is not as beautiful as Pang Meir, she still attracts more attention and vision than Pang Meir.
After hearing Lu Sen's sweet words, Pang Meir felt much happier.
"After arranging things, we will return to Hangzhou tomorrow."
"Fly back or take a boat back?"
"Let's go back by boat."
Aircraft, due to the lack of supporting "satellite map navigation" and the lack of ground data support and guidance, have very poor positioning capabilities.
Also, Japan is too far away from the Song Dynasty. Even if the aircraft can barely reach it, Lu Sen cannot guarantee that he will not lose his sense of direction in the vast ocean. If he takes too many detours, the aircraft will not have enough energy.
If we encounter a hurricane or something like that, it will be even more troublesome.
The treasure ship is so big that there will be no problem even if it encounters strong winds and waves.
Hearing Lu Sen's words, Lu Xianxian walked over slowly. As she got closer, a fragrance followed.
"My dear, can you delay your return to the Central Plains for a day?"
Lu Sen turned his head and looked at her, and asked: "Do you have something to deal with?"
"I plan to return the Yin-Yang Order that you just mentioned to the Abe family." Lu Xianxian looked at Lu Sen with her fox-like charming eyes. She was not smiling at this moment, but for some reason, when others looked at the look and shape of her eyes, they would think that she was smiling, and it was a very beautiful and charming smile: "After all, the Abe family has never stopped offering sacrifices to us for more than a hundred years, and I have received a lot of favors from them."
The fox was quite responsible. Lu Sen didn't have anything to do, so it wouldn't matter if he was late for a day or two, so he said, "Then you can go and come back quickly."
"Wait, I'll go too. I haven't seen the prosperity of the world for a long time." The Snow Girl floated over and looked at Lu Sen and said, "My dear, I want to ask for some fairy fruit. It's a long way to Heian-kyō. If we fly there, it will consume a lot of energy. But if there are fairy fruits, they can replenish our spiritual power and we can go and come back quickly."
There is naturally no problem with this.
Lu Sen took out a large bag of fruit from his system backpack and handed it to the Snow Girl: "Is that enough?"
"That's enough, more than enough." Snow Girl held the bag and handed it to Lu Xianxian: "Nujiao, thank you for your help."
Lu Xianxian held the sack, then turned around and seemed to take a breath. When she turned around again, the bag was gone.
I think she must have hidden it in some special space... There is such a magic spell as "The World in the Sleeve", and this is the real one, the authentic one.
The thing in Lu Sen's sleeve is just a system backpack.
After collecting a bag of fruit, Lu Xianxian and Xue Nu both bowed to Lu Sen, then flew into the sky hand in hand.
Both of them were wearing colorful feathered robes, so flying was a very easy thing for them.
Unlike before, Lu Xianxian could also fly before, but it consumed a lot of spiritual energy.
In the past, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was abundant, so although that kind of flying method consumed more energy, it was acceptable. Now, I dare not use that kind of flying method anymore. If I really use it, I estimate that I will not be able to fly more than two miles, and Lu Xianxian will pass out from hunger and fall from the sky.
The two women were flying in the air, their clothes fluttering in the wind, looking really like fairies.
The Snow Girl asked, "Nujiao, do you really want to return the Yin-Yang Order? I heard that thing is very powerful!"
"It's really amazing, so this time when I went to Heian-kyō, I actually killed people."
The Snow Girl was a little confused.
"The Yin-Yang Order is a killing order. It was made by Abe Haruaki to protect the Abe family." Lu Xianxian sighed, "He told me that when someone in the Abe family needs the Yin-Yang Order, it means they want me to help kill someone."
