Chapter 146 Zhao Zonghua is frustrated
Lu Sen’s new twin female apprentices are named Yu, one is called Yaoyao and the other is called Kunkun.
This is in line with the Northern Song Dynasty's habit of young ladies to use repeated words in their stage names.
In addition, Yao and Kun, at this time, both mean beautiful jade.
Sitting in the pavilion, Lu Sen asked with a smile, "I don't like these two names very much. What are your original names?"
"My parents called me Zhaodi when I was young."
"When I was young, my parents called me Yingdi."
Tsk... Lu Sen couldn't help but sigh in his heart. The nicknames of these two people were too consistent with the naming habits of traditional farming families.
But his slightly shaking head was seen as a very bad sign by the two little girls.
After all, both of them grew up in brothels and were trained in various skills to please others, including how to read people's expressions.
But they were still young and had not yet fully learned, so when Lu Sen shook his head slightly, they felt upset.
My dear, you don't like us?
Our name is not nice?
Or did the gentleman remember that we came from a brothel when he heard our names?
Various thoughts echoed in their minds, and their expressions became uneasy.
There is no way. The status of the children of immortals is too high, while they are just skinny horses from Yangzhou. There is a huge difference between them. Are they really qualified?
"Then I'll call you Yaoyao and Kunkun." Lu Sen said with a smile: "Although Zhaodi and Yingdi are also fine, they don't sound like names that children of immortals should have."
To be honest, when it comes to names, there is no difference in identity, only whether it is suitable or not.
It's normal for a farm girl to be named Zhaodi. But Lu Sen is now pretending to be an immortal, so naming him Zhaodi is a bit unusual.
Of course, if you want to go the route of the sand sculpture fairy, it is still possible.
If you just want to change this world, a high-end style of painting is better.
"Could you please give us two new names?"
The girl, who was not sure whether she was Yaoyao or Kunkun, bowed down and spoke sincerely.
They felt that although the names Yaoyao and Kunkun sounded nice, they still had a sense of worldly affairs. They were still worried that when the master mentioned these two names in the future, he would always think of their past.
Lu Sen paused for a moment, then burst out laughing, thinking that these two girls were too unconfident.
He has no way to tell the two people apart for the time being unless he turns on the system's vision function.
However, in that situation, many names of objects will appear in the field of vision, which will cause dizziness after a long time, so Lu Sen will not open the system field of vision under normal circumstances.
Lu Sen shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter. Now I think it sounds good. Okay, the next step is to become a disciple. Come here and kneel down."
Lu Sen has always disliked people kneeling to him, only dead people will kneel to him.
But there is no way. The system's built-in function of recruiting disciples requires the disciple to kneel in front of the master before this function will be triggered.
Yaoyao and Kunkun immediately walked over in small steps, gently knelt on the ground, and lowered their heads.
'When someone is found to be a disciple, the master-apprentice function module is triggered and the talent of the disciple is checked.'
'The test is complete. The two candidates have passed the test and can be accepted as apprentices.'
Seeing this prompt, Lu Sen clicked "OK" with his mind.
Then he saw two girls kneeling in front of him, with golden light coming out of their bodies. Then, both of them had surprised expressions.
"This is... Master, there seems to be something extra in my head." This is Yaoyao speaking.
Kunkun next to him also nodded vigorously.
This is the 'Taoism'. Lu Sen smiled and said, "Digest it yourself. Do you understand?"
The two of them nodded repeatedly, being very obedient.
Then Lu Sen stood up and said to the back: "Lingo, take them to get familiar with this place."
Ringo, who had grown a lot and had fair skin, stood up.
Because she eats well, lives well, and has fruit to eat every day, she now has the appearance of a little beauty. It's a pity that there is still a gap compared to Yaoyao and Kunkun.
After all, Yaoyao and Kunkun are the "top stars" among the Yangzhou skinny horses, and they are trained to be given to the real big shots.
The appearance must be good.
Then Lu Sen left. He returned to his room, sat down and breathed a sigh of relief.
Yaoyao and Kunkun obtained the so-called "Taoism", which was actually just a "subsystem", and a severely castrated one at that.
There is also a character attribute column and a space backpack, but the space backpack only has ten slots.
Then there are recipes, but there are only about thirty of them, which is completely different from the tens of thousands of recipes that Lu Sen has.
It can be said that the two are worlds apart.
Of course... if the apprentice wants to improve and enhance the functions of his own system, it is also possible. That is to practice continuously, provide a large amount of spiritual energy to the master, and after becoming strong, give the master extremely high attribute bonuses.
In this way, the 'disciple level' will be upgraded, the space backpack will be larger, and the number of recipes will increase randomly.
But in the end, the functionality of the subsystem is, at most, only about 40% of the functionality of Lu Sen's main system.
Therefore, for Lu Sen, the more disciples he accepts, the more beneficial it will be for him.
In addition, disciples are also the inheritors of his ideas. As they grow up and travel outside, they will surely spread his ideas to all directions.
After two years of living in Beijing, he has come to understand one thing: no one will cherish things that come too easily.
In fact, he had already understood this principle, but reality made him review it again.
From now on, outsiders won’t be able to get his things so easily.
Whether it is the items produced by the system or the "knowledge" in his head.
Lu Sen sat back on the chair. Zhao Bilian came over from outside. She sat in Lu Sen's arms, smiled coquettishly, and said in a charming tone, "Sir, would you like to practice together?"
Hmm? Lu Sen hesitated for a moment, then said, "Let me revise the contents of the plan first."
"Okay, I'll wait for you." Zhao Bilian licked her bright red lips subconsciously.
In the garden, Ringo had already walked around with the twins, and finally came to an open space, pointed to the side and said: "This is the martial arts training ground, anyone can come. But when the ladies appear here, we'd better not fight with them and leave first. Do you understand?"
Yaoyao and Kunkun nodded vigorously. Of course they understood this point. There is a hierarchy .
Seeing their expressions, Ringo knew that they were thinking the wrong thing, so he said, "It's not a question of respect or inferiority. The gentleman doesn't treat us as outsiders. We can eat and drink the fairy fruit and honey here as much as we want. Neither the gentleman nor the lady will have any objections. I asked you to leave first because when the ladies were practicing, they made a lot of noise, and I was afraid that they would hurt you."
Yaoyao blinked her beautiful eyes and asked, "Are the ladies also very powerful?"
“It’s really amazing.”
Ringo smiled, picked up the longbow beside him, put an arrow on it and shot an arrow at the stone man on the other side of the cave wall.
With a whoosh, the solid stone man was pierced by the arrow, and even his upper body broke into several pieces and fell to the ground.
All the arrows sank into the cave wall and disappeared.
"My arrow is less than 10% of the strength of the ladies."
Yaoyao and Kunkun clapped their hands subconsciously, extremely surprised but a little exaggerated.
This is a habitual response and flattery.
They only know music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and have no idea what this arrow represents.
If a martial artist came and saw this scene, he would probably break out in a cold sweat.
After more than two years of practice, Ringo's archery skills have become quite impressive. Although he can become even stronger in the future, he will still remain at the level of a mortal.
Because she has no way to cultivate immortality.
One is that there is not enough blessing, and the other is that there is not enough qualification.
Zhao Bizhi, Yang Jinhua and others were able to practice the "immortal techniques" brought from Mount Li because they both practiced dual cultivation with Lu Sen, which was a special method of practice in itself, but the prerequisite was that at least one of them had to have spiritual energy.
This is one of the reasons why both Yang Jinhua and Zhao Bilian like to be with Lu Sen.
Seeing the two of them looking amazed, Ringo smiled softly. She knew that the two of them didn't understand yet, but it didn't matter, they would understand in the future: "Next, I will take you to your own house to rest. Go to sleep first, and I will call you when it's time to eat."
"Thank you, Sister Ringo."
The two girls were quite well-behaved and did not act arrogant in front of Ringo, the maid, just because they were Lu Sen's disciples.
Ringo led them to the door of a room on the second floor and left.
Yaoyao and Kunkun closed the door and looked at the neat and clean furniture in the room and the soft and beautiful bedding on the bed. They first laughed happily, then hugged each other and cried softly.
Finally escaped from the devil's den and misery.
Lu Sen was naturally very happy to have two apprentices, but on the other hand, Zhao Zonghua was not in such a good mood.
He took the tracking token given by Lu Sen and spent more than half a month to finally find Qingyangke, but not only was he stabbed in the right chest, but the man also escaped.
Although he was going to let the person escape, this unexpected event that was not part of his plan still made him feel ashamed.
"If my brother-in-law knew how miserable I was, he would probably be disappointed."
He lay on the bed, smiling bitterly and talking to himself.
Before, he thought that with the magical object given by his brother-in-law, he would naturally be able to trick the Qingyang guest and force him to the Liao Kingdom in the north.
However, the reality was not what he thought.
After finding Qingyangke with the tracking talisman, he discovered that there was no one else in front of him except a few lonely old men.
At the time, he thought the tracking charm was broken.
After all, tracking symbols can only provide approximate coordinates, but cannot accurately specify someone.
As a result, Zhao Zonghua, who did not have much experience in the martial arts world, looked at his tracking talisman while searching around. He thought that Qingyangke should be hiding in some secluded place nearby.
As a result, when he approached a bent old man, he was suddenly stabbed in the right chest by a dagger.
If he hadn't been wearing the protective jewelry given by his brother-in-law, he would have died on the spot.
But even so, he still had to lie in bed for five days with his injuries before he recovered.
If the short knife at that time had been pushed forward half an inch further, it would have pierced the lungs.
The door opened with a creak, and a man came in with a basin and a towel in his hands. Seeing that Zhao Zonghua had woken up, he smiled and said, "Zhao Xiaolang, come and wash your face. Our leader wants you to come over."
Zhao Zonghua stood up, washed his face, and followed the man to the main hall of the house, where he saw a middle-aged man with a long beard, wearing a green robe, who looked quite dignified.
He stepped forward, clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, Master Liu, for saving my life. If you need me in the future, I will go through fire and water for you without hesitation."
The middle-aged man waved his hand and said with a smile, "You are too polite, Zhao Xiaolang. I want to ask you something. You should be a son of a noble family, right? Logically, you should not have any experience in the martial arts world, but how did you find Qingyangke?"
Zhao Zonghua hesitated.
The middle-aged man in front of him, according to his own words, is the leader of the Tianji Sect, Liu Furong.
Judging from his appearance, he is indeed a good person and looks very upright.
And the other party also saved himself.
After thinking for a while, Zhao Zonghua took out the tracking talisman from his clothes and said, "It was thanks to this thing that we were able to find Qingyangke."
"Can I take a look?"
"Of course."
After saying that, Zhao Zonghua was about to step forward and hand over the tracking order.
But when Master Liu grabbed with his right hand, the token fell into his hand.
Zhao Zonghua naturally admired this skill, but when he thought of his brother-in-law, it seemed very ordinary.
Liu Furong looked at it over and over again for a while, then threw it lightly, and the tracking order fell gently into Zhao Zonghua's hand like a feather.
"The immortal's stuff is truly extraordinary. I can't figure out how it was made."
Zhao Zonghua's body stiffened subconsciously: "Master Liu...how did you know?"
"Since Qingyangke is carrying Master Lu's things, how could Master Lu not send people to pursue him?" Sect Leader Liu said with a smile, "In fact, we are here for the Heavenly Dao Immortal Voucher as well. We happened to see you being attacked by Qingyangke, but Qingyangke's full-strength attack only injured your skin. I guess you should have something protective given by Master Lu."
Zhao Zonghua smiled awkwardly, then asked, "Master Liu, can I ask you something?"
"please."
"If you get the Daoxian Voucher, what are you going to do?"
"Nothing to do, just take a look!" Sect Leader Liu said as a matter of course, "Then return it to Master Lu and help him find the treasure. You have to take a look at it."
Zhao Zonghua was a little embarrassed, but then he was relieved. He thought of the order given by Lu Sen, which was to force people to the Liao Kingdom. As for the whereabouts and destination of the Dao Xian Voucher, he didn't need to care at all.
But he couldn't let the other party know about this, so he had to pretend to be in a difficult situation and said, "But Master Lu ordered me to protect the Daoxian Voucher and not let anyone else touch it."
"In other words, Zhao Xiaolang intends to stop us?"
Zhao Zonghua was depressed and silent for a while, then he said: "But you saved me, I can't repay kindness with hatred, so Master Liu, I will take my leave now. If we meet again in the future, please show mercy."
"Mutual." Sect Leader Liu smiled happily and kindly.
After Zhao Zonghua left, Liu Furong's smile cooled: "I was not sure before, but now I can be sure, Master Lu is planning, he drew a chessboard, and all the living beings in the world are his chess pieces!"
An old man walked out and said with a smile: "So you want to jump out of the chessboard?"
"I have no qualifications, so I can only be a chess piece. At least I need to know what Master Lu is planning in his chess game!"
The old man put his hands behind his back and said, "I hope that Master Lu's cave can be found in Hangzhou."
"I find it difficult." Sect Leader Liu shook his head: "For those who are not controlled by the Way of Heaven, the art of divination is useless."
