Chapter 183 Fox Demon is a Good Student
Abe Yari was very smart. Even though he was in the yard, he could vaguely feel the presence of spiritual energy.
And when I saw that the Snow Girl could move freely, I was completely sure of this.
That's why he thought of letting his eldest son live with Lu Sen.
Not to mention such an outrageous thing as stealing skills, just being able to absorb spiritual energy is enough to be a great thing.
If I could really stay with Master Lu for a few years, wouldn't I be able to recreate the style of my ancestor Abe Haruaki?
But Lu Sen felt very uncomfortable about suddenly letting an outsider live in his home.
They are not a teacher, and the disciple is not a disciple. They are not anything like that.
So he continued, "Forget it, I don't like outsiders living in my house."
Abe Yari looked at the snow woman standing next to him.
Lu Sen explained: "She is already considered a member of my family, so naturally she is different."
"Then Master Lu can also treat my son as his own."
"Can I just do it if I say I can?" Lu Sen waved his hand: "Change the conditions."
Abe Yari was stunned for a moment, he looked up and asked: "Master Lu, in your eyes, how much is the Izumo Kingdom worth? Give me an accurate number!"
He discovered that Lu Sen had some interest in Izumo Country, but it didn't seem to be very great.
It shouldn't be pretended.
In fact, this is true. The resources of Izumo are just a part of Lu Sen's plan. He has many backup plans and alternative resources, but they are more troublesome.
Lu Sen smiled and said, "Regarding the Izumo Kingdom, the land I want is not very large. One or two hills will be enough. After all, it is just a place for cultivation. So, don't worry that I will occupy a lot of your land, and don't think about taking advantage of this opportunity to get a lot of benefits from me."
"Then please let Master Lu tell me clearly." Abe Yari said with a fist.
He himself really hoped to obtain the inheritance from the immortals, but after being rejected by Lu Sen several times, he realized that the initiative was not in his hands.
Lu Sen thought for a while and said, "I'll give you a few baskets of fruit as a thank you. I'll also give you some weapons that I made myself. These things are worth a lot of gold, more than enough to buy one or two mountains."
Abe Yari thought for a while and said, "That's fine too. Also, please ask Master Lu to awaken the shikigami in this talisman."
After he finished speaking, he took out an old talisman from his arms and handed it to Lu Sen.
There was a thick black gas coming out of the talisman paper that Lu Sen could see.
At this time, the Snow Girl came over to take a look and said, "My dear, the one sealed inside is Shuten Douji, a very powerful evil demon."
"How much better than you?" Lu Sen asked.
"If it was three hundred years ago, even if there were three of us, we wouldn't be able to defeat him." The Snow Girl smiled proudly, "But now it's different. Our strength has greatly decreased because of the disappearance of the spiritual energy in the world. I came out and became a fairy. But he is still a monster. Even if he comes out, he is just a weak shikigami."
Having stayed in the yard for a while, the Snow Girl's strength has recovered a lot. More importantly, now that she is wearing the colorful feathered robe, her strength has been greatly improved.
Abe Yari heard this and felt a little envious.
"Then let him out."
Lu Sen took the talisman paper and injected his spiritual energy into it.
At this time, the Snow Girl had already spontaneously stood beside Lu Sen to protect him.
With the infusion of spiritual energy, more and more black gas emerged from the talisman.
This black air carried a very unpleasant "smell" and directly affected people's spiritual level. Lu Sen frowned slightly, and the people around him subconsciously took a step back.
Black gas filled the air and soon gathered together as if it had life, finally transforming into an unstable human form.
I can't see his appearance clearly either.
It was similar to the snow girl before, but she actually seemed to still be conscious.
"Give me more spiritual energy, more."
He stared at Lu Sen and urged him in an anxious tone.
If he hadn't urged him like that, Lu Sen would have given him more, but as soon as he said that, Lu Sen immediately cut off the supply of spiritual energy.
The black shadow immediately became furious when it found that there was no spiritual energy supply. The black mist suddenly doubled in size and roared at Lu Sen like a giant: "Give me spiritual energy quickly."
At this moment, the Snow Girl suddenly rushed forward, condensed her spiritual energy into an ice sword, and started slashing at the human-shaped black fog.
Every time the sword was chopped down, the black shadow would cry out in pain.
Then there was a loud swearing.
"Snow Girl, how dare you... Wait, what the hell is wrong with you?"
"The energy on you is actually the spirit of the immortal?"
"Ah... it hurts, where's your demon power? You're not a snow girl!"
"Ah, stop it."
"I know I was wrong, please stop hitting me."
Every time the Snow Girl's sword slashed across the black shadow, the latter seemed to become smaller.
When it was about to become as big as an ordinary person, the black shadow finally couldn't bear it anymore and began to beg for mercy.
Abe Yari, who was watching from the side, was extremely anxious, fearing that the Snow Girl would chop the black shadow to death.
Seeing that it was almost done, Lu Sen said, "Okay, Snow Girl, come back."
"Yes, my dear."
The Snow Girl returned to Lu Sen holding the ice sword, but was pulled back a few steps by Pang Meir.
"You are not even a concubine, you have no right to stand beside the master."
Snow Girl looked at Pang Mei'er with some grievance: "Madam Mei'er, I just want to protect my husband."
"Heh, don't make that expression. I know exactly what you're thinking."
The Snow Girl smiled awkwardly, knowing that her little trick had not deceived the other party.
Lu Sen ignored the interaction between the two women. He looked at the weak black shadow for a while, then looked at Abe Yari and said, "He is in a state where he still has some intelligence, but it is about to disappear. If he leaves this yard, his intelligence will not last for an hour, so if you want to take him away, you must ask him everything you want to know within an hour."
Abe Yari looked at the black shadow and said to Lu Sen, "Please stay here for a while, Master Lu. I'm afraid that this Shuten-doji will do something bad to me."
"Isn't he your Shikigami?" Lu Sen was a little curious.
Abe Yari shook his head: "He is the Shikigami of Qingming's ancestors, not mine. And even if he became a Shikigami, he behaved very unruly in the rumors, and only Qingming's ancestors could barely command him."
"Aren't you afraid that I might hear something I shouldn't?"
Abe Yari took a deep breath and said, "There is nothing we can do about this."
Yes, there is no way. If possible, Abe Yari didn't want the confidential information he asked to be heard by Lu Sen, but there was no way, he really didn't dare to be alone with this Shuten Douji.
Even if the opponent is very weak, it would still be easy for him to kill me.
Lu Sen smiled, took two steps back, and gave his seat to Abe Yari.
Walking to the figure with black smoke billowing, Abe Yari asked, "Shuten-doji, do you know where the manuscript of the Yin-Yang Order of my ancestor Abe Haruaki is placed?"
"Are you the descendant of Abe Haruaki?" The shadow seemed to be sizing up Abe Ari, and then laughed sinisterly: "So weak, so weak, you don't even have one tenth of your ancestor's ability."
The two of them spoke the Japanese dialect.
Lu Sen couldn't understand it, but Xue Nu could understand it.
She immediately walked to Lu Sen and translated what the two were saying.
"Don't waste your time. I just want to ask you if you know it?" Abe Yari was a little impatient.
"Of course I know, but why should I tell you?" Shuten-doji's voice was filled with cold ridicule: "Do you think it's still more than three hundred years ago?"
"If you don't tell me, how can I get you back to your original state?"
"Don't joke, the spiritual energy between heaven and earth is now exhausted..." At this point, the black shadow looked around: "But this yard is very strange, there is actually a small amount of spiritual energy flowing. Does your Abe family have a new method?"
Abe Yari followed the other party's words and tried to deceive him: "Yes, so if you want to become the original Shuten Douji again, you have to obey the orders of my Abe family like before."
Who knew that Shuten-doji suddenly laughed: "As expected of the descendant of Abe Haruaki, you are a very good liar. I can't tell if you are serious. You don't have any spiritual energy anymore. But the gentleman behind you and the snow girl have a lot of spiritual energy."
Abe Yari said calmly, "I am a friend of that gentleman. Didn't you see what the snow girl looks like? If she can change back, then you can too."
"Wouldn't it be better if I just obeyed that Excellency?" Shuten-doji looked at Lu Sen and said, "Why should I obey the orders of your Abe family?"
"What do you think you have to be valued by such a gentleman? He is a master of the Celestial Empire." Abe Yari sneered, "The Snow Girl is beautiful and was originally transformed from a person from the Western country. At least she can be used to warm the bed. What can you, a local male demon, do?"
Thanks to Japan's extreme admiration for Zhao Song, this trend has also spread to the world of monsters.
The original strength of the Snow Girl was actually very ordinary. But because she was from the Central Plains, her status immediately improved, and she had a position among the monsters. Then, she got some opportunities because of this, and her strength was raised to the level of a first-class Shikigami.
And Shuten Douji, in such an environment, also had great respect for the Central Plains region. Hearing this, he suddenly felt that a Japanese country monster like him was not worthy of hanging around in front of the immortal master.
Especially after seeing the Snow Girl following Lu Sen, she was wearing a colorful feathered dress, and Pang Meir next to Lu Sen was also wearing a colorful feathered dress.
According to rumors, the fairies in the Western Kingdom are extremely powerful, and almost everyone of them has a few fairies to command them.
Shuten-doji thought for a while, then sighed and said, "If I tell you, what can you give me?"
"The Yin-Yang Order of our ancestors contains the method of how to create spiritual energy. If I can get the Yin-Yang Order again and control the spiritual energy, I will revive you first to be my Shikigami."
"real?"
"I swear in the name of my ancestor Abe Haruaki."
Shuten-doji thought for a while and said, "Then you must remember your oath. As far as I know, after Qingming died, the Yin-Yang Order was handed over to Tamamonomae, and Tamamonomae took the Yin-Yang Order and hid in Izumo Province."
"I see. That makes sense. After all, Tamamonomae is said to be the ancestor of our Abe family."
"Haha!" Shuten-doji laughed. "Tamamonomae came from Qingqiu, a country in the west. She just adopted Abe Haruaki as her adopted son and accepted his offerings. You Abe family are shameless. You said that she gave birth to Abe Haruaki. You are flattering yourself. It makes me laugh to death."
Abe Yari's face suddenly became extremely embarrassed.
The Snow Girl also translated this to Lu Sen. After listening to it, Lu Sen asked curiously, "Is Tamamonomae really from our Central Plains? The legendary Qingqiu?"
The Snow Girl nodded gently and said, "Yes, but she is not the Queen. She is just a little fox pretending to be the Queen . After receiving the offerings from the Abe family, she has her own talent and her strength has grown rapidly."
Abe Yari glanced at Lu Sen next to him. If this was heard by ordinary people, he would silence them.
But when Lu Sen heard this... he felt that the other party was already showing special favor by not pursuing the matter of his Abe family offending the fairy fox of the upper country.
He pretended not to hear anything and continued to ask, "So, where is Tamamonomae hiding in Izumo Province?"
"How should I know?" Shuten-doji's shadow moved slightly, and he seemed to spread his hands. "Tamamonomae is good at illusions. If she hides, who can find her? Moreover, the spiritual energy between heaven and earth is exhausted. Both monsters and shikigami are trying to hibernate themselves to minimize the consumption of spiritual energy. I don't know how many monsters have died silently because of this. I guess Tamamonomae is hiding somewhere now, but most likely she is in Izumo Province."
Abe let out a deep breath, feeling extremely helpless.
What Shuten-doji said should be true. Now if we want to find the Yin-Yang Order of their Abe family, we must go to Izumo Province.
But Izumo is so big, and this thing was hidden by Tamamonomae, how can we find it?
I have no idea at all.
He stood there thinking for a long time, then raised the talisman paper forward.
Shuten-doji tactfully crawled into the talisman paper.
Then Abe Yari turned around and said, "Master Lu, I have decided that the entire area of Izumo Country can be given to you, but we have only one small condition."
"Help you find the Yin Yin Order?" Lu Sen waved his hand: "I don't have that much time and energy."
Abe Yari was a little embarrassed. He said, "You don't have to go out of your way to look for them, Master Lu. If you find any trace of Tamamonomae or Yin Yang Order, please inform us at the Abe family. Please."
Why doesn't Abe Yari go find it himself?
The Abe clan is actually the Izumo clan. The two different surnames are actually the same family.
The Izumo clan had been operating in Izumo Province for hundreds of years, built shrines, and trained many onmyojis and shrine maidens. If they had been able to find any trace of Tamamonomae, they would have discovered her long ago.
No need to wait until now.
Therefore, Abe Yari estimated that in order to find the great demon Tamamonomae, it would require someone like Lu Sen who still had spiritual power to do it.
Lu Sen thought for a while and said with a smile: "Okay."
Anyway, he was quite interested in Tamamonomae. The Snow Woman was confused and didn't understand why only Japan had monsters. She was obviously a mediocre monster with no knowledge or skills.
Perhaps Tamamonomae could understand this, after all, according to rumors, foxes are very smart.
From the fact that they like to seduce scholars, we can tell that they really love studying!
