Chapter 184: Carving a Wall out of the Mountain
Abe Yari walked out of the yard and returned to the mountain city.
Ping Jinyuan and four others sat opposite him, and the atmosphere in the room was a little stagnant.
After a while, Pingjin Yuan asked, "How did the discussion go, Abe Shaocheng?"
"It's OK. Our Abe family has already agreed to Master Lu's conditions." Abe Yari said slowly, "Next, we just have to wait for Master Lu to define the area he wants."
Pingjin Yuan then asked: "So, what can you, the Abe family, get?"
As soon as this question was asked, the eyes of the people around him became obviously serious.
These four people are all of royal blood. Although there are some conflicts, they are internal conflicts.
Abe is a foreigner, and a very powerful one at that.
What if the benefits they get from Master Lu can affect the Emperor's rule?
As if Abe Yari didn't see the expressions of the four people, he still said in that gentle and slow voice: "Just wait for a while, help me unlock a real Shikigami."
"Like the snow girl who appeared in the yard recently?" Yoshimi Zaihara, who had been standing nearby, suddenly asked.
Everyone's eyes were now on Zaiyuan Liangmei, somewhat puzzled.
Abe Yari was stunned for a moment, then he tapped his palm with the folding fan in his hand and said with a smile: "Is this important?"
"I am just curious. The clothes she is wearing look very much like the clothes woven by the fairy in the legend."
In fact, Ping Jinyuan and others who had been observing the wooden building from a high place also discovered this.
But as men, their attention was more focused on Lu Sen, guessing various possibilities and how to deal with Lu Sen in the future.
Only Yuan Liangmei would pay attention to these clothes.
However, we have to admit that this kind of colorful feathered clothing is very fresh to people of this era.
Especially for women.
Abe Yari smiled and said, "The Snow Girl is no longer a Shikigami. She is called a fairy by Master Lu. As for other things, I don't know much."
Sometimes a name can reveal a lot of information.
The expressions of the four royal family members all changed subtly.
The next morning, Lu Sen began to dismantle the house.
The four members of the royal family were still watching from the side, and Abe Yari was also there.
They watched as the blocks of the wooden building turned into streams of light and disappeared into Lu Sen's sleeves.
That scene is so mysterious no matter how you look at it.
"The legendary hidden secrets in the sleeves, the Immortal Master of the Upper Kingdom is indeed different from others."
Someone sighed.
Putting the wooden building back into his sleeve, Lu Sen began to dismantle the wooden fence and then the hot spring hut.
After everything was put back into the system backpack, Lu Sen walked up to Abe Yari, handed him a simple map, and said, "I want these two mountains in Izumo Country."
"The barren mountains of Shimane?"
The ink on the map looks fresh and accurate.
Abe Yari knew that Lu Sen could fly, so he knew that this map must have been drawn by Lu Sen from a high vantage point in the air.
"Yes, it is a barren mountain for others, but for me, it is a place convenient for cultivation."
"Do you need my Bei family to send workers to help build a palace on the mountain?" Abe Yari asked with a flattering smile.
Lu Sen shook his head: "You guys are building too slowly, I can do it faster myself."
It is indeed true... Several people have seen how Lu Sen quickly built a wooden building and demolished a house, and they know that civil engineering is a piece of cake for him.
"That's right." Abe Yari sighed a little disappointedly.
Then Lu Sen smiled and said, "We will go ahead next. You should be able to see the palace we built when you arrive at Izumo in a few days. Come and be our guest and sit down and chat."
"sure."
Several people answered almost in unison.
Under normal circumstances, this "definitely" would be an excuse , but now the "definitely" they said was from the bottom of their hearts.
Lu Sen and others walked back to the treasure ship, while the four royal family members and Abe Yari accompanied them.
When Lu Sen boarded the ship, they still looked reluctant to leave.
After returning to the boat, Pan Zhihai ran to Lu Sen. He looked at Pang Mei'er and Xue Nu, who were suddenly covered in colorful lights , and asked in surprise, "Sir, Madam Pang Da's dress is extremely beautiful, like a fairy, not surprising. But is this concubine next to you the one you brought back from Japan?"
When he said this, he had some persuasive intent in mind.
Under normal circumstances, for a big shot, it is embarrassing to have multiple concubines from foreign countries at home.
Lu Sen shook his head and smiled: "She is not my concubine."
"Who are you calling a barbarian, little guy?" The Snow Girl floated up and looked down at Pan Zhihai. "I am over 300 years old and my roots are in Jingzhou, Central Plains. Now I am following you back home. Do you have any objection?"
"without."
Listening to the fluent Song dialect and seeing the other party's feisty temperament, Pan Zhihai knew that he had misunderstood.
It should be said that from the Han Dynasty, through the Tang Dynasty to the present Zhao Song Dynasty, the status of women has been relatively high.
Only Han women have the courage to scold men in public, while barbarian women, although they look very wild, are actually very submissive when facing men.
The reason is very simple...Except for the Central Plains at that time, women in other countries are more like "materials", and consumable materials at that.
For example, when encountering a snowstorm, the entire tribe would gather together to keep warm, with the elderly and women in the outermost circle, the children in the middle layer, and the young and strong men in the innermost layer.
From this we can see how women were treated and how they were treated outside the Song Dynasty.
Seeing this, Lu Sen smiled and said, "Next, you will go around here from this route."
As he spoke, he drew a dotted line on the nautical chart with his finger: "You can stay here for two days. After you have replenished your supplies, come find us here."
"We are not familiar with that area." Pan Zhihai said with some embarrassment: "After we get ashore, we may not be able to find you guys quickly ."
Lu Sen smiled and said, "Don't worry, after you get off the boat, as long as you walk inland for a while, it should be easy to find us."
When Pan Zhihai heard this, he stopped asking questions and said, "Then let's do as you say, uncle."
Lu Sen then turned his head and looked at Pang Mei'er: "We are going to fly to Izumo next. Is there anything else you need to prepare?"
Pang Meir shook her head.
The Snow Girl looked around, and after a while, she came to Lu Sen and said, "This boat is so big, did you build it with your magic?"
"I built it, but it's not considered a magic technique."
As Lu Sen spoke, he took the aircraft out of the system backpack and sat in it.
Pang Meir sat down immediately.
It was the first time that the Snow Girl saw a flying vehicle. She didn’t know what it was and didn’t react for a moment.
Lu Sen asked, "Snow Girl, how far can you fly without taking a rest?"
"It's probably only about 30 or 40 miles." The Snow Girl thought for a while and said, "The spiritual energy of heaven and earth is now exhausted, not like it was in the past. But I couldn't fly before, I was just temporarily suspended in the air."
"Then come in and squeeze in." Lu Sen waved at her.
The Snow Girl walked in without hesitation and sat next to Pang Meir.
Although the aircraft was a two-seater, none of the three people were fat, and both Pang Meir and Xue Nu were very slim, so even with all three of them sitting in, it didn't seem crowded.
At least there is still room for the hands and feet to move.
"See you in a few days."
Lu Sen waved to Pan Zhihai, covered the glass cover of the aircraft, and then controlled the aircraft to take off from the treasure ship.
Pan Zhihai saluted the aircraft with his fists clasped. After the aircraft disappeared into the sky, he shouted to the sailors beside him: "We will stay here for another two days to replenish resources. You guys take care of your own business. I still say the same thing, don't bring women on this fairy ship, otherwise don't blame me for throwing him and that woman into the sea together, understand!"
The sailors howled in horror for a while, and Lu Sen's black-clad generals were all ready to take action.
We are all men, there is no need to pretend anymore.
Then the sailors got off the ship and partied for two days. The women in Namba City welcomed them very much. Many of them even took the sailors home directly, and their husbands helped to look after the house outside.
This is a rare opportunity. Without risking your life by crossing the ocean, you can have the chance to improve your family's genes by borrowing seeds.
Why not seize such a good opportunity?
Lu Sen was driving a flying vehicle and moving high in the sky.
The Snow Girl almost put her face against the glass cover, looking at the scenery below and making wow sounds from time to time.
Pang Meier chuckled and said, "Weren't you a monster before? Why didn't you fly high into the sky to see such a view?"
"I was only about five meters above the ground before. That's floating, not flying." The Snow Woman said as a matter of course: "Except for a few gifted monsters, very few can fly."
Lu Sen asked curiously, "Can the fox demon named Tamamonomae fly?"
"Actually, you can call her by her Chinese name, Nujiao."
"Hmm? Nujiao?" Pang Meier was a little surprised: "Isn't that Yu's wife?"
The Snow Girl continued to look at the scenery below without turning back, and explained: "It was only after I met Tamamonomae that I learned that Nüjiao is a general term for adult females of the fox tribe. There is nothing wrong with Yu's wife being called Nüjiao, but in fact she has another real name, but it is not recorded. When I chatted with her privately, I also called her Nüjiao."
I see!
Next, the Snow Girl told some interesting stories about the monsters in Japan.
For example, in fact, most female monsters don’t like male monsters. It turns out that most male monsters are too ugly.
Then occasionally there are those who look more aesthetically pleasing but have rather weird personalities.
Therefore, most female monsters will try to find humans to mate with.
Also, most monsters do not eat human flesh, they only eat spiritual energy.
He also talked about the hierarchy and contempt chain among monsters.
For example, monsters transformed from humans are the highest level, followed by animals, then spirits of trees and plants, and finally monsters transformed from dead objects.
However, this is not completely absolute. For example, Tamamonomae (Nyojiao) is a fox that became a demon, but she is one of the most powerful demons in the entire Japanese country, and no one dares to underestimate her.
Five hours later, while they were chatting, Lu Sen arrived above a mountain.
Then he piloted the aircraft down and landed on the top of the mountain.
The three of them stepped out of the aircraft. Pang Meier looked around and asked, "This place is deserted and the forest is as deep as the sea. What could there be?"
Lu Sen smiled and said, "There are good things, all under this mountain."
Pang Meier immediately understood: "Ore? Iron, silver or gold?"
"silver."
Pang Meier asked curiously, "Have you been here before?"
“I guess I’ve been here.”
Lu Sen recalled with some nostalgia his life before he traveled through time. At that time, his first girlfriend was a second-dimensional girl who had a favorable impression of Japan. During their passionate love, he took her to Japan and visited all the famous attractions.
Also here are the remains of the world's largest silver mine.
Lu Sen has been looking through his own recipe list recently, and he found that many recipes require the three resources of "copper", "iron" and "silver".
In fact, the demand for silver was not as great as the first two, but the entire Northern Song Dynasty was short of silver.
Therefore, silver becomes particularly precious.
"So, sir, you tried every possible means to get this place?" Pang Meier laughed: "If the man from the Abe family knew about this, he would probably be so angry that he would vomit blood."
"Just don't let him know forever." Lu Sen smiled indifferently.
The Snow Girl also stared with her eyes wide open. She had been to Izumo Country more than once or twice, but had never heard that there was silver in this place.
Lu Sen took out the pickaxe from the system backpack, one for each person, and then said with a smile: "It's time to get to work."
Pang Meir took the pickaxe and started working without saying a word.
But the Snow Girl didn't quite understand the function of the pickaxe. She looked at Lu Senlu with pitiful eyes: "My dear, are you willing to let a little fairy like me do heavy work?"
The monsters can only use spiritual energy and have relatively strong combat power.
But when it comes to hard labor, they may not be able to compare with real human laborers.
Especially female monsters.
Without saying a word, Lu Sen stuffed the pickaxe into her hand, and then he and Pang Meir started working together.
At first, the Snow Girl was still a little reluctant, but she suddenly discovered that after two or three diggings by Lu Sen and Pang Meir, a square hole would appear in the ground, and a square of soil or stone would appear in the hole.
She tried it out of curiosity and found that it did not require any effort at all and she could dig a big hole in one go. She immediately became interested and bent down to join the ranks of those who were hoeing the ground.
Thanks to the special function of the iron pickaxe, the three of them spent an afternoon flattening the entire mountain by more than ten meters.
Then Lu Sen took these extra mud and stone blocks and built a long "wall" at the foot of the mountain, encircling the entire mountain.
On the first day, the city wall was still relatively low.
But as time went by, the city wall became higher and higher, while the height of the mountain kept decreasing.
By the seventh day, the wall surrounding the mountain had blocked the entire mountain.
The mountain peaks are no longer visible from the outside.
Lu Sen stood on the top of the mountain, looking at the thick city walls around him, feeling an inexplicable sense of security.
The Snow Girl stood aside, looking at the thick city walls that were at least fifty feet high, her face full of surprise: "Is this really a wonder that we created in just seven days?"
