Chapter 110 Happy Blind Box
Lu Sen came out of the hill carrying a basket of fruit, handed it to the leading soldier, and asked with a smile: "Neighbors, what's the matter with this man?"
Calling them "neighbors" shows that Lu Sen was not talking to them in his official capacity.
For Lu Sen, this was a perfectly normal thing, but in the eyes of these soldiers, it was hard to imagine that someone like Lu Sen, who was obviously in a high position and had a transcendent status, could be so approachable.
"Master Lu, this man was sneaking around at the foot of the mountain. We wanted to arrest him and throw him into jail, but he mentioned you in his conversation, so we didn't dare to make a decision. We tied him up and let you decide what to do."
As the soldier spoke, he carefully took the fruit basket from Lu Sen's hand. They often guarded the foot of the mountain, had eaten these fruits, and knew how precious these fruits were.
Yang Jinhua often went down the mountain, and every few days, she would ask Heizhu to send some fruits for the soldiers to taste.
They have helped their family keep away so many idlers. Even if they are not worldly-wise, they should at least give some gifts to them.
To put it in the words of that period: Even if there is no credit, there is hard work.
Lu Sen cast his eyes towards the tied man, looked him up and down for a while, and asked, "My friend, generally speaking, no one is allowed to enter the low mountain without permission. What do you mean by this?"
Such rules seem a bit inhumane and even a bit "arrogant", but there is no other way.
If this restriction were not set, the flow of people coming here to seek immortal fate, to make friends, to seek help for their relatives, etc. would be enough to flatten all the low mountains.
This is also why Lu Sen is very grateful to the Prince of Runan. In order to help Lu Sen maintain the peace and quiet of Aishan, the latter has spent a lot of time and effort.
Several soldiers let the man go and formed a circle around him. This was not to protect the man, but because they were afraid that he would suddenly explode and alarm the important person.
After the man was "free", he rubbed his hands together, nodded and bowed, and said with a flattering smile: "Master Lu, I am Luo Kailai from the west of the city, and I am here to present a treasure to Master Lu."
After saying that, he pointed to the crystal ball held by the soldier next to him.
Lu Sen looked over and was stunned at first, then sighed helplessly: "So, there are always people who think they are smart."
As soon as these words came out, the man named Luo Kailai's face became a little stiff: "Doesn't Master Lu need this thing? I have asked someone to buy it for you."
"Bought it?" Lu Sen snorted. "It doesn't look like the other party would casually take out the spiritual treasures of his clan to sell. Are you sure he bought it?"
"It was indeed bought by me." The man said firmly.
Lu Sen turned his head and looked at the soldier next to him, and said, "Then please take this man to a covered cart in the market and let them confront each other. If it is true, please ask him to come over again. If it is not true, send him to Kaifeng Prefecture. Thank you for your help."
Lu Sen bowed.
"No trouble, no trouble." The soldier smiled and bowed, dragging the man away.
Looking at the backs of these people, Lu Sen shook his head helplessly and returned to the hill.
Lu Sen was actually mentally prepared for this kind of sudden incident.
Although he was very careful in doing things, he still couldn't resist the "help" of people with ulterior motives, so when he went out, he seldom took the initiative to express any strong intentions, just to avoid such troubles as much as possible.
This is also what all people in high positions will instinctively do.
One is to prevent trouble, and the other is to prevent opponents or enemies from finding evidence of something wrong.
After Lu Sen returned home and had dinner with Yang Jinhua and others, he began to prepare the 'recipe'.
After upgrading to LV2 last night, there were a dozen more recipes. One of them was quite interesting and required few materials, so it wasn't expensive.
He went to the market just to get the ingredients for this recipe.
Sitting in the pavilion, Lu Sen was surrounded by Yang Jinhua and other family members.
After hearing that Lu Sen was going to make something new, they were naturally quite curious and wanted to see it for themselves.
At this time, his hands were emitting golden light, and then small boxes that looked like treasure chests appeared on the stone table in front of him.
Soon, more than a dozen of them were stacked up.
Yang Jinhua's eyes sparkled as she looked at the golden boxes and asked, "Sir, why did you make so many small boxes? Are they also treasures like storage boxes? Didn't you say that you can only make three now?"
Her doubts are also the doubts of others.
Looking at the people around him with burning eyes, Lu Sen smiled and said, "This is a happy blind box."
Happy blind box?
Seeing the four people's puzzled expressions, Lu Sen explained the concept of blind boxes again.
After listening to this, Yang Jinhua became interested: "In other words, whether the things in here are good or bad is all a matter of luck, and even you, sir, don't know?"
Lu Sen nodded: "Indeed."
"How interesting! In other words, whether or not you can get good things depends entirely on your luck?" Bilian looked at Lu Sen, her eyes sparkling with anticipation and pleading: "Sir, can you let me open one to try? I think I have good luck!"
Yang Jinhua actually wanted to open one, but as the "first wife", she naturally had to be more cautious: "Bilian, don't be so stubborn. No matter how strong our luck is, can it be stronger than yours?"
When everyone heard this, they realized it was the truth.
After all, those who have a connection with immortals have great blessings, which are definitely not comparable to ordinary people like them.
Lu Sen smiled and said, "Lucky fate and immortal fate are two different things... There are five of us, and here are fifteen boxes. Each of us can open three boxes and see who has better luck. How do you think?"
This kind of competition was very interesting, and the interest of the other four people was immediately piqued.
They didn't expect to beat Lu Sen, but it would be nice if they were better than the others.
So several people started picking boxes. According to their status, Lu Sen should have picked the first one, but he said he didn't care, so they picked the boxes in the order of Yang Jinhua, Bilian, Heizhu, and Ringo.
Five people sat around a stone table, each with three boxes in front of them.
Lu Sen smiled and said, "How about this, we start at the same time, in three rounds?"
The other four naturally agreed.
"Then let's start with the first box now." Lu Sen put his hand on the buckle of the box: "I'll count to three, one, two, three!"
Five people opened the boxes at the same time, and each box emitted an astonishing golden light, which made the five people almost cry.
After two or three breaths, the golden light disappeared, and the contents of the five boxes appeared in front of everyone.
Everyone looked at each other, and finally Bilian burst into laughter.
The boxes of Yang Jinhua, Heizhu and Ringo were all filled with gray pebbles. In Lu Sen's system vision, they were marked as ordinary pebbles, of no great use.
There was a bunch of fruits in Lu Sen’s box: some elf’s dried bananas!
In Bilian's box was a gold nugget the size of a fist.
"It turns out that I am the most blessed." Bilian laughed happily, her heart surging.
Yang Jinhua pursed her lips: "There are still two more times."
Lu Sen picked up the dried bananas and threw them into the system backpack. He remembered that he would need it for one of his recipes.
After taking out the things inside, the golden box turned into a golden light dust and disappeared without a trace.
"Let's compete again." Yang Jinhua looked at the proud Bilian, a little unconvinced: "I'll count this time."
After three sounds, the golden light rippled again, and then the five people looked at themselves and the box opposite, first showing a look of surprise, and then they all laughed.
All five of them are made of stone.
It seems that everyone's luck is not very good this time.
But Bilian was relatively happy, because after all, she had already opened a piece of nugget of gold.
Then came the third time. Having experienced the situation of 'total annihilation', everyone was much calmer this time.
However, this time, three good things came out.
In Yang Jinhua's box, there was a blue gem as big as a fist, surrounded by a circle of transparent white diamonds. It was obvious that this thing was not ordinary.
"so beautiful."
Yang Jinhua picked up the gem, and before she could be happy for long, she saw a square piece of "colored glass" in Bilian's box next to her, with countless golden spots rotating and flowing inside.
She felt a little helpless for a moment. She did get something good, but compared with Bilian's, it was obviously just an ordinary thing.
Then at this time, Ringo next to him shouted: "Ah, what a proud cat."
It turned out that there was a wooden sculpture of a black cat in her box.
As for Lu Sen and Hei Zhu, there were still stones in their boxes.
Lu Sen didn't care, but Hei Zhu's mentality was a little broken.
After three times of throwing stones, Heizhu felt that he really had no luck.
Lu Sen first took Yang Jinhua's sapphire necklace, looked at it for a while, and said with a smile: "This is a very precious treasure, called the Heart of the Ocean. There is only one in the world. My wife is indeed a blessed person."
Yang Jinhua chuckled. In fact, it didn't matter whether she was more or less lucky or not, and whether she could compare with Bilian or not. She just wanted to hear her husband's praise.
Then Lu Sen took the thing Bilian opened and played with it in his mind for a while, and said: "This thing is called psychic crystal, which is the material for making special magic weapons... For those who know the business, it is very useful, and for those who don't, it is just a piece of beautiful colored glaze. But Bilian is really lucky, this thing is what I want."
Bilian said with a smile: "It's good to be able to help Shangguanren."
"Then what is this?" Ringo held up the cat sculpture and placed it in front of Lu Sen: "It can't be just a wood sculpture."
Ringo was a little nervous, she also wanted to help Lu Sen.
Lu Sen took the black cat wood carving and looked at it carefully.
This cat has huge eyes and looks very proud. From Lu Sen's point of view, this thing is just a "cute", "two-dimensional" style figure.
Moreover, this thing looked very familiar to him, as if he had seen it somewhere.
"Black cat, there's a white vertical crescent on the forehead!"
Lu Sen thought about it for a while, but still couldn't remember what this thing was, but he was sure that he seemed to have seen it when he was young.
And this wood carving is no ordinary piece.
Contract Woodcarving (Black Cat): Dropping blood on the woodcarving will create a contractual relationship with it. The woodcarving will then transform into a cat and travel with the contractor. It can also transform into a cat and grant the subject the three characteristics of 'spiritual vision', 'insight', and 'keen spirit'.
Um?
Uh-huh?
Lu Sen felt more and more that he seemed to have seen this thing somewhere.
Looking at Lu Sen's thoughtful expression, Ringo sighed. She thought that this thing seemed to be of no use.
I suddenly felt lost.
After a while, Lu Sen said, "Among the five of us, the best thing we got was this black cat wood carving, so Ringo had the best luck."
Hearing this, Ringo laughed and was very happy.
Yang Jinhua had no intention of getting jealous of a little girl. She asked, "Sir, what is the use of this black cat wood carving?"
Lu Sen then explained the function of the wood carving.
Hearing that this wood carving can come to life and can also make people "transform", Yang Jinhua and Bilian were quite interested .
But Lu Sen's words dispelled their thoughts: "Although it is a transformation, this cat is black. What if your skin also turns black after you merge?"
Upon hearing this, the two women immediately gave up the idea of contracting the black cat.
Bilian even said in disdain: "Who would want to become as black as charcoal?"
As black as charcoal!
An idea immediately flashed in Lu Sen's mind: "Wait, I know who is the best person for this. You guys stay at home first , I'll go visit Bao Xiren."
After saying that, Lu Sen grabbed the black cat wood carving and left excitedly.
The four were left
About an incense stick later, Lu Sen appeared in Kaifeng Prefecture.
Then the confused Bao Zheng received him.
"Master Lu, it's getting late. Is there anything important you want to discuss? I have to thank Master Lu for helping me make the connection some time ago."
Bao Zheng was very surprised. Lu Sen didn't have much affection for him. They would avoid each other if possible, and would avoid each other when they met.
Lu Sen waved his hands and said with a smile: "Those are just trivial matters. I have heard that you, Bao Fuyin, love to play with cats. Do you have several excellent cats at home?"
Bao Zheng felt a little embarrassed. He didn't like money, he only loved petting cats.
Seeing Bao Zheng's shocked expression, Lu Sen knew that the rumor was true. He then took the black cat wood carving out of his system backpack and said, "Prefect Bao, I just happened to get a rare item that has something to do with cats, so I'm giving it to you."
Looking at the cute black cat wood carving on the table, Bao Zheng's solemn expression softened a lot. "This wood carving has a simple and cute shape, and it is very lovable. Although the knife skills are average, it has opened up a new path in the art of shape. It is really good."
Seeing that even a cat wood carving was so popular, Lu Sen knew that the deal was done: "I was just thinking of giving this wood carving to Prefect Bao. This wood carving is not simple."
At that moment, Lu Sen explained the function of the black cat wood carving.
After hearing this, Bao Zheng's face seemed to be glowing, but at first glance it seemed not to be.
He asked anxiously, "Just a drop of blood can bring this wooden sculpture back to life?"
Lu Sen nodded.
"Then we can give it a try." Bao Zheng stretched out his hand and called to the side, "Captain Zhan, please lend me your sword."
"Prefect Bao, please think twice about this matter. Just in case..." This was the advice given by Gongsun Zhubu.
"No need to do that. I believe in Master Lu. If he really wants to harm me, he has countless ways to do it. There's no need to go through so much trouble." Bao Zheng said very soberly, but if his eyes were not always on the black cat wood carving, it would be more convincing.
Zhan Zhao naturally believed Lu Sen as well, so he drew his sword and walked over.
A drop of blood fell on the wooden statue of a black cat. After a few breaths , the wooden sculpture emitted a bright white light, and Kaifeng Prefecture suddenly became extremely dazzling.
Countless people saw a white beam of light rising into the sky.
