Chapter 190 The Tianji Sect Came to the Door
Because he did not go to Heian-kyō with Lu Xianxian, Lu Sen naturally had no idea what she did in Heian-kyō.
However, the Chinese historical records in Japan record that in the 13th year of Changyuan, a giant fox descended from the sky, blessed the Abe clan, slaughtered hundreds of Heike clan members, and then flew away! Since then, the Abe clan has become increasingly powerful and has forced the imperial power.
Not many words, but a big deal!
Later Japanese historians studied this passage over and over again, trying to figure out what exactly happened at that time.
Of course, these things had nothing to do with Lu Sen. After waiting in the Taoist Palace for two days, the giant fox finally came back carrying the Snow Girl.
After landing on the ground, the giant fox turned into Lu Xianxian. She bowed and said with a smile, "My dear, this matter is over."
It has to be said that a foxy girl is a foxy girl. Even if she has no intention of seducing Lu Sen, her every frown and smile are full of subtle charm.
Pang Meir felt a little jealous, but she didn't show it. Instead, she observed Lu Xianxian's expressions and movements more carefully, remembering every detail in her heart.
Human-foxes do not have the innate advantages in cultivation that fairies have, but when it comes to learning and imitation, fairies are no match for humans.
Since foxes can transform into human form and be so charming, humans can also learn and imitate them.
Even if she doesn't seek to learn 100%, Pang Meir will be confident that she can keep the official's attention on her longer if she learns 50% or 60%.
Lu Sen nodded slightly: "Then let's go."
The matters at the Taoist Palace have been arranged, we are just waiting for Lu Xianxian to come back.
Lu Sen did not completely seal off the Taoist palace, but left a door that was easy to open and close. If the family guards and able-bodied men who stayed behind in the Taoist palace had urgent matters, they could go out, and of course they could also let outsiders in.
But the confidentiality of the underground silver mines must be maintained.
After walking for a while overland, they boarded a treasure ship at a nearby small port and then set sail back home.
"Are all the ships in the Central Plains this big now?" Lu Xianxian, wearing a colorful feathered dress, walked on the deck and exclaimed, "If they say this is the immortal warship of the Galaxy Navy, I would believe it."
Pang Mei'er was standing nearby at the moment. Hearing this, she couldn't help but ask, "Xianxian, have you been to the Heavenly Palace and seen the warships of the Galaxy Navy?"
"No, I just heard it from my great-grandmother." Lu Xianxian narrowed her long fox eyes: "When I was a child, she loved to tell me about the past."
Pang Mei'er's eyes widened: "I remember you said that your great-grandmother was Su's Daji!"
Of course, there are many different stories about the Conferred Gods War, and no one knows whether it is true or not. But now that even the fox spirit has come out, it must be true, so Pang Meier is naturally very interested.
"I also want to hear what happened in the Battle of the Gods." Lu Sen walked over from not far away.
He is now at level 4, and his hearing has been greatly enhanced, so he can hear some of the voices of the three women.
"In fact, the general situation is similar to the stories passed down by your human race." Lu Xianxian narrowed her eyes and said, "But my great-grandmother said that the so-called Conferred God is actually the division of territory."
Pang Meir looked surprised.
In her opinion, immortals should be pure-hearted, not like others, and without worldly desires.
How can there be a concept of territorial division?
Shouldn’t everyone live in harmony and happily in the cloud palace in heaven?
But Lu Sen could understand that humans have their own pursuits, and immortals naturally have their own troubles.
The "quality" or "resources" in this world should be limited. The resources required by immortals should not be too many, otherwise there would not be so few practitioners in this world.
Even now the cultivation world is almost extinct.
"My great-grandmother didn't say much about the details. She just told me again and again that the so-called immortals are just more powerful people or monsters. There's nothing special about them."
Pang Meir felt a little shocked, but after thinking about it carefully and using herself as a reference, she vaguely understood the meaning of these words.
After I understood it, I felt a little lost.
Immortality... Is what I have been pursuing just another form of system?
Lu Sen didn't have the same worries as her. He walked to Lu Xianxian and asked, "So where did the immortals go? And what's the theory about the division of territory?"
"I don't know." Lu Xianxian shook her head: "I also asked my great-grandmother about this question, but she didn't tell me."
"Is Concubine Su Da still alive now?"
Lu Sen was a little curious. If he could see this great fox demon in person, many questions and doubts would be answered.
Lu Xianxian's eyebrows dropped: "It's gone, I can't even find Qingqiu."
Um?
Lu Sen was a little surprised to hear this, but it made sense after thinking about it.
Because the spiritual energy of heaven and earth has been exhausted, the spiritual cultivation world in the Central Plains has been almost completely destroyed. I imagine that the monsters in this world are not having an easy time either.
Seeing that Lu Xianxian looked unhappy, Lu Sen didn't ask any more questions.
Not long after, Lu Xianxian regained her spirit and played with Pang Meir and Xue Nu.
At first Pang Meir was somewhat hostile towards Lu Xianxian, but after a few days of getting along on the boat, they started calling each other sister.
By the way, the Snow Girl gave herself a new name, Bai Xue.
Because her hair is originally white, it is reasonable for her to use this as her surname. And since she is an ice-controlling monster, it is normal and reasonable to give her this name.
But when Lu Sen heard this name, he looked at the Snow Girl with strange eyes for several days.
All three women felt it. Xue Nu even thought that Lu Sen had some thoughts about her in that way and was hesitating whether to agree.
She personally had a good impression of Lu Sen. After all, he was really handsome, had good character, and had an excellent family background.
But... the favorability is not enough to make me sacrifice myself for it.
So it’s quite confusing.
Fortunately, Lu Sen's strange look only lasted for a few days before fading away.
Pang Meir was relieved. In order to prevent her husband from doing anything wrong, she had been stern and shyly begging her husband to practice dual cultivation with her for the past few days.
I just don’t want my husband to touch other women.
Then Lu Xianxian and Xue Nu began to look at the couple with strange eyes.
They have good hearing and live next to Lu Sen's cabin, so what could they not hear?
After the ship docked in Hangzhou, several people flew back to the cave.
Lu Sen had a flying vehicle of his own, while Pang Meir, Xue Nu and Lu Xianxian squeezed in one.
All three women were extremely slim and were able to sit down.
Back in the cave, Bilian pounced on him without hesitation, wrapped her legs around Lu Sen's waist, crying and laughing, and refused to come down.
He totally ignored the eyes and gazes of others.
After caressing for a long time, she finally stopped.
Yang Jinhua just bowed and said softly, "Sir, you are back."
Although her words were simple, the tenderness and affection in her eyes were extremely obvious, and anyone who saw it would find it so sweet.
The two disciples, Kunkun and Yaoyao, also came over to pay their respects to Lu Sen.
As for Heizhu and Ringo, needless to say, they both looked at Lu Sen wiping his tears.
After calming everyone down, Lu Sen introduced Lu Xianxian and Xue Nu to the others and also told them their identities.
After hearing that both of them were "demons", everyone was very curious.
Especially Bilian, who pestered Lu Xianxian and asked, "Are you a fox fairy? Where's your tail?"
Lu Xianxian also looked at Bilian. She felt the breath of her fellow tribesmen on her body, and then she saw the Qingqiu fox on Bilian's shoulder.
Then she understood all of a sudden: "It's actually a spiritual eagle, and it's conscious?"
She stretched out her hand, and the little Qingqiu fox on Bilian's body jumped onto Lu Xianxian's palm, turned around twice and jumped back onto Bilian's shoulder.
"I can turn into a fox, too!"
After saying that, Bilian merged and transformed into a two-tailed Qingqiu fox.
This time, the look Lu Xianxian gave Bilian was suddenly filled with intimacy.
Seeing the women making a fuss, Lu Sen felt that it would be inconvenient for him to sneak in, so he left the cave and came to the top of the mountain.
The hibiscus tree...or rather, the world tree has grown a lot bigger.
It was just a small sapling before, but now it has grown to Lu Sen's waist and is growing very well, with dense branches and leaves. The leaves are two colors, green with a green edge and gold inside, with a transition gradient in the middle, which looks very magical.
Lu Sen opened the system interface and found that the intimacy value of the hibiscus tree had increased again.
"Grow up quickly. I want to see what kind of magical things you will do when you become as big as the Fusang tree of Tianjimen."
The sapling naturally would not respond to Lu Sen, it just swayed occasionally in the wind.
Lu Sen stayed in the cave for seven days and spent some absurd time with his three wives. Then he opened the system and found that there was no 'Peach' tree yet.
He didn't feel disappointed. After all, the system said that there was only a 'small chance' of growing a peach tree.
I think the time it takes for the peach trees to grow should be calculated in years.
After enjoying the gentle countryside, Lu Sen was planning to take the silver he had brought back from Japan and secretly go to Bian Jing to discuss some things with his father-in-law, the Prince of Runan. Now that he had flying vehicles, it would be convenient to go back and forth.
Just when he was about to go out, Mr. Zhang from Bitian Pavilion asked his servants to deliver a letter.
It was sent by Liu Furong, the leader of Tianji Sect. He asked Lu Sen to meet him in the city to discuss important matters.
Lu Sen thought about it and accepted the invitation.
The two met in the Bitian Pavilion. Liu Furong brought several apprentices with him besides himself.
On Lu Sen's side, he brought Yang Jinhua and several family generals with him.
The main characters of both sides took their seats, and the others stood by as a background.
Although Bitian Pavilion is the property of Mr. Zhang, Lu Sen is qualified to be the owner here.
After he had someone serve tea to the other party, he asked with a smile, "Master Liu asked me to come here. What's the important matter?"
"Master Lu is indeed a quick-witted person, with the demeanor of a Jianghu man." Although he is already middle-aged, Liu Furong looks extremely handsome and has the charm of a mature man. He stroked his beard and smiled, "Some time ago, Master Lu came to visit my Tianji Sect. Unfortunately, I was walking outside at the time and was unable to see him. It's a pity."
"Aren't we seeing it now?" Lu Sen smiled.
Liu Furong looked Lu Sen up and down, and at the same time, he clasped his fists and said, "Since Master Lu is straightforward, I will not beat around the bush. Has Master Lu subdued the fox demon that fled to Japan?"
Lu Sen frowned slightly.
His first reaction was, is there a traitor among his own people?
But he quickly ruled out this possibility. The loyalty of the black-clad retainers should be trustworthy, and not many of them knew that Lu Xianxian was a fox demon. Most of them were still in Izumo Dojo, and the retainers who came back with them all kept their mouths shut.
Then there is another possibility, the other party has special means.
For example, the divination technique of the Tianji Sect.
Seeing Lu Sen frowning slightly, Liu Furong chuckled and said, "My sect has an irreconcilable feud with that fox demon. More than a hundred years ago, many of my sect's ancestors died in her sharp teeth. Every once in a while, my sect will calculate its location. The previous calculation showed that the fox demon is in Japan, but its breath is weak, as if it is there and not there, which makes people confused."
It was indeed the art of calculation. Lu Sen's expression became more serious.
"We recently calculated it again and found that the fox demon has returned to the Central Plains and is near Hangzhou City." Liu Furong clasped his fists and said, "This fox demon is brutal by nature. We thought that only Master Lu could subdue it, so we came here to ask you."
"Are you so sure it's me?" Lu Sen looked into the other person's eyes.
Although he said he came to ask, Lu Sen could see that the other party had already completely confirmed that he was the one who took in the fox demon.
"We have calculated who is related to the fox demon, but we could only get the result that the hexagram instrument was destroyed." Liu Furong said with a strange look on his face: "In this world, the only one who cannot be calculated by the hexagram is you, Master Lu."
For a fish like Lu Sen who slipped through the net of heaven, Liu Furong tried several calculation techniques, but none of them worked.
So it is very obvious, who else could it be except Lu Sen.
Besides, only Lu Sen, the strongest cultivator at present, can subdue a powerful fox demon.
"You are very rude." Lu Sen said unhappily.
Although he said that he was not subject to calculations, the other party had done this more than once or twice, which made him unhappy.
For example, you set up a telescope on the balcony and look at the bathroom of your neighbor opposite every day. Although the curtains, doors and windows are closed tightly and you can't see anything, this behavior itself is very annoying.
Liu Furong bowed his head slightly and said, "I naturally know that this is an offense to Master Lu, so I am here to apologize at the same time."
After he finished speaking, he clapped his hands, and the disciples of the Tianji Sect next to him put the boxes in their hands over to him, placed them on the table, and then opened them one by one.
There are more than twenty small gift boxes, each filled with many rare treasures.
"I heard that Master Lu is collecting meteorites from outer space, and there are four of them here." Liu Furong said sincerely, "In addition, there are many precious exotic herbs, all of which were passed down from our Tianji Sect two or three hundred years ago."
It is indeed a big deal.
In Lu Sen's system vision, in addition to four pieces of meteorite iron, there are also many medicinal herbs and rare treasures in these boxes.
And those are what he lacks so much.
For example, if all the herbs inside were taken, I should be able to make a foundation-building pill!
Lu Sen doesn't need the Foundation Establishment Pill, he has the system, but Yang Jinhua and the others do!
