Chapter 187 Reasons for Recruiting Foxes
The original essence of the profession of a shrine maiden is actually to serve the gods.
The kind that serves with a pure body, but how many gods will there be? Especially after the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is exhausted!
So now the shrine maiden has become a kind of... profession similar to that of the geisha, except that in comparison, the status seems to be higher, but the essence is the same.
Lu Sen is a cultivator, which, according to today's standards, is essentially a god in the eyes of the Japanese, so it is very reasonable for him to have a shrine maiden serve him.
"Among the Izumo priestesses, there is a beautiful girl named Aguo, who is as beautiful as Xi Shi and has the ability to possess the spirits of gods. I think she should be able to satisfy Master Lu." Abe Yari said eagerly.
Lu Sen waved his hand: "It's fine for a witch to serve your Japanese gods. I'm not noble enough to that extent."
Under the Taoist palace is a huge and rich silver mine. As long as we arrange for outsiders to come in, no matter how well they conceal it, clues will definitely be discovered.
Therefore, Lu Sen would not allow any outsiders to enter this Taoist palace.
Abe felt a little disappointed, but didn't say anything more.
Afterwards, Lu Sen took them on a tour around the Taoist Palace. This tour took them most of the day because the Taoist Palace was so huge.
Then invite them to dinner and stay.
It is quite easy to set up a few rooms in the current Taoist palace.
The night was dark, but although the Taoist palace was large, it was brightly lit. This was because Lu Sen had synthesized redstone lanterns in almost all the rooms!
A special kind of light source that can restore its own 'energy'. It only needs to 'rest' for six hours a day and can work for twenty hours. Theoretically, it has unlimited lighting.
However, there is a limit to its 'durability'. According to Lu Sen's calculations, it can be used for about ten years before it breaks down on its own.
But as Lu Sen's level increases, the service life of this redstone lantern will be further improved.
This is also Lu Sen’s main means of large-scale lighting at present.
In his opinion, this redstone lantern is a relatively "low-level" synthesis formula in the system, but there is no way, his own level is also low, only LV4, and many high-level formulas are not open.
But for the people in this world, this thing is simply too high-end.
Lu Sen arranged the rooms of Ping Jinyuan and others together, so that they could live next to each other.
So the three of them gathered in the guest room where Ping Jinyuan was staying temporarily.
"What a huge palace." Pingjin Yuan rubbed the soles of his feet. This action would be very indecent when a noble is discussing things with guests, but there is no other way. He feels that this can express his surprise. After all, he has been walking up and down for almost a whole day today, and his feet are sore. "It's only been a few days? The emperor's palace is not so huge and solid."
Indeed, the Taoist palace built by Lu Sen was not very luxurious, but it stood out in its hugeness and grandeur.
For many things, you don’t need to be luxurious, as long as they are big enough, they will be amazing.
Lu Sen actually didn’t want to build it so big, but in order to cover the entire mine, he had no choice but to do it this way.
"And this square-shaped red lacquered lantern." Zaiyuan Liangmei pointed at the lamp hole: "Its wick can light without kerosene."
The other two people actually discovered it as well.
Abe Yari sighed and said, "Master Lu is definitely the most powerful immortal in the world in the past hundred years. It's a pity that he didn't agree to my proposal, otherwise Izumo Aguo might have been pregnant with my bloodline."
Neither Pingjin Gen nor Zaihara Yoshimi said anything, but they felt relieved in their hearts.
Fortunately, Master Lu did not agree, otherwise if the Abe family was really allowed to get in touch, who knows how much their strength would expand.
Now the Abe family is powerful enough to threaten the royal family.
The three of them had their own concerns. The atmosphere in the room was silent for a while, and then Yuan Liangmei suddenly asked, "Are we leaving tomorrow?"
"Of course we have to leave." Abe Yari said with a matter-of-fact expression: "Master Lu's Taoist palace is still under construction. It's not convenient for us to stay here."
"That's true." Ping Jinyuan smiled and agreed on his face, but what he thought in his heart was another matter.
But Yuan Liangmei just smiled gently.
The three of them noticed the slight peculiarity in each other's eyes. After all, they were all old foxes and could vaguely guess most of the other's thoughts.
Then the three of them greeted each other in a friendly manner and left to sleep, but in fact they left without any greeting.
The next day, after eating the breakfast provided by Lu Sen, the three said goodbye.
They walked together in a peaceful group, but after the city wall was sealed again, there were no outsiders. Pang Meier snorted, "The three of them seem to be traveling together, but they all have their own agenda. It's quite interesting."
"Can you see that?" Lu Sen asked curiously from the side.
"I've seen a lot." Pang Mei'er leaned against Lu Sen and said happily, "When I was a child, my grandfather always let me sit in on conversations with outsiders. After the people left, he would teach me the content and wit of their conversation."
"This education is quite powerful." Lu Sen sighed softly.
Pang Meier sighed and said, "That's why grandpa always says, it's a pity that I'm not a man."
"If you were a man, you couldn't marry me."
Pang Meir rolled her eyes at him coquettishly and went back to helping stack the stones.
It is simple to build a Taoist temple, but the need to be handled slowly.
For example, the installation of doors and windows, the layout of sewers and toilets, the planning of water channels, and the diversion of water sources, etc., cannot be done in a hurry and need to be arranged slowly.
This took six days of hard work.
After building everything he could think of, the entire Taoist palace was considered complete.
This building was built according to his "modern" thinking. Although it looks large, its main design is for "convenience".
So although there is no added benefit of a systematic garden, the entire Taoist palace is warm in winter and cool in summer, and it has convenient water supply and sanitary facilities. It is very comfortable to live in it.
The prerequisite is that "daily supplies" must keep up.
Lu Sen looked at the front of the Taoist palace, the Taoist palace that he and others had built together, and felt quite satisfied.
He had only built such large buildings in games before. Now that he was building them again, he really felt like he was back in the game.
But... I really don’t know how to go back.
He sighed softly, but at this moment, a figure emitting colorful light rushed out from the Taoist palace.
It's a snow girl.
Although Pang Meir also liked to wear colorful feathered clothes, she could see that Lu Sen didn't like such bright clothes and thought they were eye-catching, so she seldom wore them in front of Lu Sen.
Only the professional fairy Snow Girl regards this thing as a treasure.
"My dear, my dear, Nujiao has woken up."
Female prostitute? Lu Sen was stunned for a moment before he realized that it was the vixen Tamamonomae.
"Then let's go and take a look together." Lu Sen said, and at the same time, he put on the best equipment in the system interface.
After all, it is a great monster in the Japanese legend, and also the famous Qingqiu fox monster in the Central Plains legend. Although there is a snow girl as a "guarantor", the other party's temperament is unknown, so it is better to be cautious in everything.
Soon, he followed the Snow Girl into an underground cave, and Pang Meir followed.
Although her combat power is not strong on the surface, she still has strong combat power after merging with the spirit beast snail and transforming.
If anything really happens, I can help.
Through the wooden fence, Lu Sen looked at the huge fox that had opened its eyes.
The fox before was completely motionless, not even breathing.
But now you can see its body is slightly bending.
Lu Sen looked at it with interest, and it was also looking at Lu Sen.
There was gratitude and also a little fear in the huge black fox's eyes.
Finally, it was the one who spoke first: "Thank you Master Lu for saving me, otherwise I would have died."
The voice it speaks is very pleasant, soft and crisp, which makes people feel very comfortable.
It is indeed a fox spirit, even its voice is so seductive. I can’t imagine what it would look like in human form.
"It's okay. I saved you because I have my own plan." Lu Sen smiled.
The giant fox barely used its front legs to prop up its upper body and asked, "Master Lu, is there anything you need help with? As long as I can do it, just let me know."
At this time, the Snow Girl standing in the wooden fence scolded, "Lie down. You don't have much strength yet. Why stand up? Rest first and talk slowly."
At this time, Lu Sen saw that the two front paws of this giant fox were trembling slightly, and it seemed that it was struggling to support its upper body.
But the other party did not listen to the Snow Girl's words, but continued to look at Lu Sen in this way.
He has a stubborn and proud character.
Lu Sen labeled the fox in his heart, thought for a moment, and said, "The Snow Girl is right. Since you just woke up and your health is still very poor, let's wait a few more days until you are better."
After saying that, Lu Sen took Pang Meir away.
The Snow Girl stayed and took out some peaches and stuffed them into the fox's mouth.
"This is the spiritual fruit that Master Lu gave to us. Although the spiritual energy contained in it is not much, it is at least better than nothing. I have been holding back for a long time and have not been willing to eat it."
The fox chewed the peach twice and swallowed it, then said, "Thank you, Sister Xue. By the way, you feel that the evil spirit in your body is gone and has turned into fairy spirit. What's going on? Did you have another encounter?"
"This matter is related to my new husband, Master Lu. I'll tell you in detail."
At that moment, the Snow Girl told him how she met Lu Sen and her impressions of them during their time together.
After hearing this, the fox breathed a sigh of relief: "According to what you said, Master Lu doesn't seem to be a bad person."
"There will always be good people. Don't treat all practitioners as bad people just because you met a cheating practitioner once."
"It's not just one or two, it's a whole bunch."
The fox recalled the time when she went back to the Central Plains to visit her relatives, and was hunted by a large group of practitioners. Some threatened to peel off her fur to make robes, and some split her demon elixir to make magic weapons. The horrible experience was still vivid in her mind, and she trembled when she recalled it.
Seeing this, the Snow Girl sighed, and took the initiative to float down to the fox's huge head, then sat down, leaned against the fox's ear and said, "Don't think too much, it's really not your fault that time."
The fox didn't say anything, but just closed his eyes quietly.
As for Lu Sen, after returning to the ground, Pang Meier, who had not spoken, took Lu Sen's hand and asked, "Are you going to collect the report from this vixen?"
"Yes, I have this idea." Lu Sen admitted without hesitation: "It can put on colorful feathered clothes like the Snow Girl and turn into a fairy."
Fairies can cultivate the 'Peach Tree', and if the Snow Girl can be a fairy, I think the fox spirit Tamamonomae can do it too.
The peaches are the key to the "immortality" of Lu Sen's three wives.
The reason why Lu Sen has such an idea now is that he feels that his three wives have a "limit".
The system will not make mistakes. The three of them do not have the qualifications to become "immortals", which means they definitely do not have the qualifications in this area.
Now that they can learn cultivation techniques and use some spells, it is actually all thanks to Lu Sen's use of resources.
Several redstone energy packs were constantly transformed into spiritual energy for the three of them to absorb. There were fruits and vegetables produced by the system to cleanse their bodies. In addition, Lu Sen used the dual cultivation technique to lay the foundation for the three of them every day and strengthen their meridians. But even so, their progress was actually getting slower and slower.
In two or three years at most, the three of them would probably stagnate in their progress. Even the dual cultivation technique would not help them.
Because the qualification limit is there!
On the contrary, Lu Sen's progress speed has not changed and has been rising quite steadily.
In addition are Lu Sen’s two disciples, Yaoyao and Kunkun, who are also making rapid progress. Although they are not as good as Lu Sen, they are actually stronger than Yang Jinhua and the other two.
After all, he is the inheritor who can be recognized by the system and has activated the 'sub' system.
When Yang Jinhua and the other two could no longer make any progress, they began to age slowly.
By then, the gap between them and Lu Sen will become larger and larger.
When the three of them are all gray-haired one day, Lu Sen estimates that he will still look the same as he does now.
So... the peaches are a must, not for himself, but for the three of them.
"Sir, can you please not accept that vixen?" Pang Meier held Lu Sen's hand tighter. "She is a real vixen, not a half-hearted one like Bilian. Just now, I was beside her and heard her voice. Even as a woman, I was a little moved."
Looking at Pang Mei'er who looked worried, Lu Sen was silent for a while and said, "I am not affected, and I have a reason for wanting to recruit her."
Lu Sen then repeated his thoughts.
He knew very well that when his relatives had questions, it was best to talk things out.
Instead of hiding it for the other person's own good or to avoid irritating the other person.
This will make problems more likely to occur.
After hearing what Lu Sen said, Pang Meier showed a look of shame on her face. She took the initiative to hug Lu Sen's waist, put her face on Lu Sen's chest, and smiled gratefully: "My lord, you have been so worried about the three of us, but I am here with my imagination. I really deserve to be beaten."
"He really deserves a beating. Looks like we have to use family rules."
Lu Sen smiled and hugged Pang Meir into the room.
After staying in the Taoist palace for another four days, Lu Sen had saved enough silver for a box.
The big root is worth about 30,000 taels.
Because the silver ore here is of high purity, it is easy to refine, and it can also melt out a lot of associated pure ore.
All the silver belonged to Lu Sen, while the copper was divided among the family generals and they dealt with it themselves.
This is also a lot of money, and the black-clad generals are so happy.
On the fifth day, Lu Sen took Pang Meir down to the underground cave again.
At this time, the fox's condition had obviously improved a lot. It was able to stand up and even walk around the small wooden fenced yard twice.
Lu Sen stood in front of the wooden fence and asked directly: "Nu Jiao... I want to ask, do you know what is going on when the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is exhausted?"
