Chapter 147 Yuan's Giant Rice
Tianji Sect, the former Penglai of the East China Sea, and Lishan Sect are known as the three major immortal sects.
But this matter still needs to be investigated. After all, this matter was only circulated in a small circle, and even the imperial court did not quite recognize it.
Because... when these three kinds of kung fu are practiced to a high level, in the eyes of outsiders, it seems that they are not much different from ordinary martial artists.
At most, you can jump higher with your Qinggong skills, and then you won't look old easily.
Taoism and Buddhism seem to be able to do the same, and even do it better.
But in fact, the Tianji Sect did produce "immortals".
He was a sect leader who lived for more than 130 years. He looked like a teenager until his death and had profound skills. With a full-strength strike, his sword energy could take the head of an enemy ten feet away.
At that time, everyone in the Tianji Sect thought that this sect leader might be able to become an immortal.
But in the end he still died, inexplicably, during the sect's opening ceremony. In full view of everyone, the sect leader rolled his eyes and fell to the ground, turning into ashes.
From then on, no similar "immortals" appeared in Tianji Sect again, and the spiritual energy between heaven and earth became less and less.
Moreover, the Tianji Sect later found out through investigation that the other two sects, as well as Buddhism and Taoism, were in similar situations.
A similar situation has been going on for more than a hundred years, and now the three major immortal sects are almost the same as ordinary sects.
Fortunately, each of the three factions has its own strengths.
The Fusang tree of the Tianji Sect, the clear pool of the fairy island Penglai in the East China Sea, and the spiritual veins of the caves of the Lishan Sect.
Relying on the faint spiritual energy emitted by these three artifacts, the three sects barely maintained the inheritance of immortal arts, but no matter what, the disciples were getting weaker and weaker.
However, compared with ordinary martial arts sects, it is still far superior.
And under such circumstances, Master Lu suddenly appeared.
There are caves built on the ground, shadow plays performed by immortals, and the effects of immortal fruits and jade bee jelly are ridiculously strong.
I don’t know how much stronger it is than the things of these three sects.
Not to mention, the contracted astounded them even more.
Although Master Lu has disappeared, Bao Zheng and Prince of Runan are still active in the capital.
Bao Zheng, in particular, when encountering strange cases, would immediately transform into a charcoal-black head with a white crescent moon on his head. He would judge humans during the day and ghosts and gods at night. Now, any prisoner who dared to play tricks in front of Bao Zheng would have his three views refreshed and his views taught him a lesson.
Because after Bao Zheng transformed, he could always see things that others couldn't notice.
No matter what, Lu Sen is now the person that Tianjimen wants to "understand" and "contact".
They wanted to understand why he could squander spiritual energy at will when other people and other sects were unable to absorb it effectively.
For example, fairy fruits were scattered all over the capital, fairy shadow plays were played randomly, and spiritual energy was consumed.
"No matter what, we must get the Daoxian Voucher." Liu Furong gently patted the handle of the chair: "Without a souvenir, how can we meet Master Lu?"
The old man next to him smiled and said, "You are still too narrow-minded. We don't necessarily have to get the Daoxian Voucher. Saving the young man from the Zhao family a few more times will do the trick. Since he was sent by Master Lu, he must be a confidant or someone close to him. Master Lu can't just ignore the lifesaver of his family."
Sect Master Liu Furong smiled and clasped his hands together: "The elder is still very insightful."
"Well, I'm just a few years older and have encountered more things. It's not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning." The old man smiled and waved his hands.
At this time, in Hangzhou, the Prince of Xiangyang looked at the half-roll of rainbow silk and smiled happily: "Mr. Hong, you are really amazing. You can actually exchange two useless little girls for half a roll of rainbow silk. You are really a genius in the business."
Hong Shizhong narrowed his eyes and smiled happily: "No, it's all thanks to you, Your Majesty."
"No, I dare not take credit for this good fortune."
Hong Shizhong smiled and flattered back.
Both of them seemed very happy, and after praising each other, Hong Shizhong left.
After everyone left, Prince Xiangyang drank a sip of tea and his smile gradually faded.
At this time, a middle-aged lawyer appeared beside him.
The King of Xiangyang did not move his head, and his eyes were still looking forward, but he knew that there were people around him: "After a few days, have someone bury this despicable merchant, and don't let others pay attention."
The middle-aged master nodded.
"This rainbow silk is really beautiful. Hong Shizhong is really lucky." Prince Xiangyang stroked the smooth silk. "But he gave away the two skinny horses without my consent. He has no idea what respect is. Damn it."
The lawyer smiled and agreed in a flattering manner.
"Let's not talk about the business for now." Prince Xiangyang took out a topographic map from the side and said, "No one would dare to touch the rainbow silk in the shop of the Prince of Runan County. But someone actually borrowed it directly! What do you think is the reason?"
"It must be Master Lu."
"Yes, I thought so too." Prince Xiangyang touched the map and chuckled, "Although we have searched Hangzhou inside and outside, Master Lu's wife and concubine appeared first, and now Master Lu has also appeared, which means they are definitely living in Hangzhou. We must find a way to find them."
The middle-aged master asked: "How do I find it?"
"The net of heaven is vast and wide, nothing can escape it. As long as he is still active in this area, he will be exposed eventually."
The middle-aged master thought for a moment and said, "Your Highness, allow me to say something disobedient. Master Lu is a fish that escaped the net of heaven. The phrase "heaven's net is vast" may not apply to him."
King Xiangyang frowned immediately.
He was not a person who would not listen to advice. He had just ordered the killing of Hong Shizhong because he felt that the latter seemed to think of him as an idiot, not because he had done anything wrong in exchanging the twins for the rainbow silk.
"That makes sense." The King of Xiangyang thought for a moment and then asked, "Master, do you have any ideas?"
The master closed his eyes and thought for a while, then sighed and said, "If an ordinary person hides, I can always find a way to force him out. But Master Lu is not an ordinary person, he has great supernatural powers. Maybe the method I came up with will be a joke in front of him. It's okay if it's just a simple failure, but if it angers him, it may have a bad impact on the prince's plan."
Prince Xiangyang was stunned for a moment, and after thinking for a long time while sitting in a chair, he said, "Let's just leave it like this for now. We won't provoke Master Lu. Anyway, his relationship . I think he won't help them when we... "
The master smiled and nodded.
"So, Zhao... that man is too cowardly. He missed such a good opportunity and actually angered a true immortal like Lu Zhenren." King Xiangyang snorted and said unconvincedly: "If it were me, I would definitely serve Lu Zhenren well and let him kill as many barbarians as he wants. I would never let him down. There are different principles between inside and outside, and that man doesn't understand. He is really incompetent!"
When the master heard this, he immediately lowered his head and said, "The prince is naturally more talented than that man."
The King of Xiangyang laughed heartily upon hearing this and was quite happy.
In the caves in the mountains and the gardens, there is an intoxicating fragrance and butterflies and bees are busy.
Lu Sen said to the two girls in front of him, "You can slowly get familiar with the Daoist tradition in the future. Now I agree to teach you the basic Qi training method. Speaking of Qi training, there is a spiritual energy room next to the pool on the lower level. There is a glass lamp inside. You can go there to meditate for two hours every three days. When you practice spiritual energy, you can get twice the result with half the effort. As for the specific time arrangement, you can ask Master Bilian when the time comes."
The two girls, wearing long robes made of rainbow silk, nodded repeatedly.
They dared not not to keep Lu Sen's words in mind.
After all, everything before them, the beautiful fountain, the crystal clear glazed building, the large courtyard full of flowers in early winter, and even the lights that never go out above their heads, all tell them that this is the best opportunity and the best future in their lives.
If you miss it, or are expelled from the sect for not obeying the master's orders, you will never regret it even if you commit suicide.
Lu Sen looked at the two well-behaved girls and felt helpless.
Although they were both very suitable for cultivation and were recognized by the system as having the qualifications to be "disciples", they grew up in brothels, where all kinds of people mixed together, and they were taught to read people's expressions. Therefore, these two disciples were still young, but they already had a lot of ideas in their minds.
Of course, it doesn't mean that I have bad intentions, but it means that my emotions are complicated and quite unstable, and I always like to think about this and that.
Therefore, the two of them could not practice sword-wielding.
Not to mention them, even Lu Sen can't practice sword-wielding skills, only Bilian can.
But Lu Sen can practice dual cultivation with Yang Jinhua.
Then the problem arose again. It was impossible for him to practice dual cultivation with two girls. After all, they were not only his disciples, but also minors. It was impossible for him to think in this direction.
Therefore, the two disciples could only practice the most basic Qi training method.
Laying the foundation is actually a good thing, but... it's hard to get started.
Even if there is an aura furnace to help convert other energies into aura for them to absorb, it is still difficult.
Pang Meir is a typical example.
She had been here for more than a year, often staying next to the spiritual energy furnace, but because she had not practiced dual cultivation with Lu Sen, her meridians were unable to expand and change their properties, and she was unable to attract spiritual energy.
Even if a little bit is absorbed, it will dissipate quickly.
Of course, it is not completely without benefits. At least with the nourishment of spiritual energy, Pang Meir's body is in better shape and her skin is smoother and more beautiful.
After Zhao Bilian brought her two female disciples to see the spiritual energy furnace, Lu Sen summoned the black pillar.
Heizhu is not dark anymore. After three years of dietary supplements and practicing martial arts from time to time, he has grown tall and strong, with an honest face and looks quite reliable.
"Heizhu, go to Hangzhou City, take my token, and ask the Bitian Pavilion to spread this news and content for me."
Lu Sen pushed a piece of paper full of words in front of Hei Zhu.
"Okay, my dear." Hei Zhu didn't even look at the contents on the paper and directly put the things in his arms: "But you need me to bring back some tofu pudding from Hangzhou. I think you must be craving for it."
"Okay, thank you for your help." Lu Sen thought for a while and nodded.
Staying at home every day, eating fruits, drinking honey, and eating birds and beasts from the mountains, although they all taste good, you will get tired of them if you eat too much.
Although this place is far from Hangzhou City, Lu Sen is now at Level 3, so he can make an extra storage box and give it to Hei Zhu. As long as he puts the things in the storage box in a hidden place, the tofu pudding will still be steaming hot even if he takes it out after several hours.
The taste is still delicious.
Heizhu Qing Lu Sen bowed slightly and then walked away.
Suddenly, there was no one around the pavilion. It was quiet, with only the sound of the fountain and the buzzing of bees flying around.
Lu Sen closed his eyes and thought about his plan to see if there was anything that needed improvement.
Not long after, Yang Jinhua appeared silently behind Lu Sen, then wrapped her arms around the latter's neck and leaned forward.
"Sir, I'm free right now, would you like to practice with me?"
Yang Jinhua blushed. Although they had been married for nearly three years and were considered an old couple, she would still feel shy if she took the initiative.
Lu Sen asked back: "Are you allowing me to drink honey?"
"No!"
"That's meaningless. I can't see you begging for mercy."
"My husband only bullies me." Yang Jinhua's face turned redder, and then she suddenly thought of something and asked, "When did you marry Mei'er? If you don't take her into your room, she will become an old maid."
Pang Meir is now almost eighteen years old. At that time in the Northern Song Dynasty, if a woman was not "married" at the age of eighteen, she would be secretly ridiculed by outsiders.
Lu Sen thought for a while and said, "After a while, I will take her back to the capital to meet Master Pang. No matter what, although this matter cannot be handled openly, at least we have to give Mei'er a fair explanation."
Yang Jinhua was stunned for a moment, then she touched Lu Sen's face and said happily: "My husband is generous in his actions."
Every woman hopes that her man will be responsible and see things through.
A few days later, it was the beginning of winter.
Because Hangzhou is a port city, it is quite cold during this period. However, since sea water can release a lot of heat, there is no sign of snow in Hangzhou yet.
But the temperature was close to freezing, and the wet sea breeze blowing on people was freezing cold, even more uncomfortable than when it was snowing.
However, even in this temperature, the streets of Hangzhou are still bustling.
At the same time, a very interesting rumor spread in Hangzhou City.
"Have you heard that Master Lu has released a new magical object? I heard it's some kind of immortal rice."
"It seems to be called Yuan's Giant Rice. I think that's the name."
"The news from the Bitian Pavilion said that the seeds were created by an immortal named Yuan. When grown, the rice is nearly ten feet tall and the rice grains are much larger than ordinary ones. It is also said that no fertilizer is needed, as long as there is water, it will grow."
"I've heard about it a long time ago. It's getting very weird now. They say the yield per mu can reach over 1,000 kilograms."
"It's not mysterious at all. That's the rice that Master Lu got. It's immortal rice. It's normal for it to have this much yield."
"That's right, who is Master Lu? That's not just any magic."
"Don't you think it's strange? Other immortals are always doing things like opening an altar to cast spells, turning beans into soldiers, calling the wind and rain, etc., but Immortal Lu is always doing weird things like fairy fruit honey, fairy shadow play, etc., and now he's dealing with rice ."
"Is it bad? I think it's great. If there really is rice that can produce more than 1,000 kilograms per mu, and it is planted all over the world, there will be no more suffering from hunger in the world. Then Master Lu will be the reincarnation of Shennong."
"Master Lu doesn't count. That's Yuan's Giant Rice, not Lu's Giant Rice. Master Lu just brought this thing out from the fairyland. If we really want to say it, it's Yuan Shennong."
