Chapter 206: Cutting from East to West
"Blood-eating technique ?" Lu Sen sat down, took out a cup from his system backpack, poured himself a cup of honey water, and said with a smile, "It sounds amazing?"
Lu Xianxian pursed her pink lips and said, "But in fact, the more powerful the spell, the simpler and more restrained its name is."
"How to say?"
She also poured herself some honey water. After taking a sip, Lu Xianxian said, "For example, the Taiyi Hunyuan Gong that my husband practices, the sword control technique of Shushan, the hexagram technique of Tianjimen, etc., are all very powerful techniques, but the names are straightforward and simple. In comparison, the blood-eating technique is a bit exaggerated."
"It doesn't matter if you're boastful, as long as you're awesome."
"But the problem is that the blood-eating method is not very powerful." Lu Xianxian sighed: "It is to mix the blood of ancestors with spiritual energy and send it into the body of the younger generation. It is a kind of blood refining. It is very simple and not very useful. It even has negative effects. It is really not powerful."
Although Lu Xianxian said so, Lu Sen still felt that this blood-eating technique was quite powerful.
This is mainly caused by the different concepts between humans and demons.
It is very easy for the demon race to pass on the strengths of their own bloodline to their offspring, but this is not the case for humans... How much talent and ability the offspring can inherit from their parents depends entirely on luck.
So in Lu Sen's opinion, spells that can stably pass on abilities and strengths are really practical.
But Lu Xianxian doesn't think so.
At this time, Zhao Bilian came over and said, "So, there is something wrong with the Xiao family?"
"There must be something wrong with the Xiao family." Lu Sen said as he used materials to make three beards: "Let's go to the Xiao family together. Do you two want to dress up as men for once?"
"It's quite interesting." Lu Xianxian had no psychological burden of being a beauty. She took the fake beard from Lu Sen's hand, stuck it on her face, and said with a smile: "It's a rare experience."
As soon as the beard stuck to her face, Lu Sen's perception was that the other person's appearance changed.
He became an ordinary young man, a bit frail.
Seeing this, Zhao Bilian immediately became excited. She took the fake beard from Lu Sen and put it on her face.
I have to say that the things produced by the system are really good. If Lu Xianxian's figure can be hidden by wearing loose clothes, then Zhao Bilian's talent capital cannot be hidden at all.
But after sticking on the mustache, she actually looked like a man, and her chest was as flat as a steel plate like a man's.
Lu Sen was a little curious, so he reached out to touch it. As a result, he touched something soft through the air, and realized that this thing was just an illusion.
"Sir, there are outsiders here." Zhao Bilian was very shy.
Lu Xianxian chuckled. Although she didn't say anything, the sarcasm was obvious.
How dare you, Zhao Bilian, say there is an 'outsider'!
The rooms in the cave were not very soundproof, and Lu Xianxian had strong hearing due to her fox ears. After a while, how could she not know that among Lu Sen's three wives, Zhao Bilian was the most promiscuous.
Also the top.
Put on your clothes and pretend here... It really is something that our fox clan is capable of.
Although Lu Xianxian sneered repeatedly, she actually had a very good relationship with Zhao Bilian. After all, the latter's contracted fox was the Qingqiu Fox.
It is not an exaggeration to say that Zhao Bilian is half her clan member.
Hearing Lu Xianxian's sneer, Zhao Bilian rushed over and started fighting with her.
Lu Sen sat quietly aside and tasted the honey water, not surprised at all.
Then the commotion lasted for half an hour.
By the time the three of them came out shopping, it was almost noon.
"Why don't we just order some food first?" Zhao Bilian touched her belly and approached Lu Sen: "I'm a little hungry."
"Then let's eat something first."
The three of them found a restaurant that looked the best and sat down to have their meal.
Although Khitan food is not as exquisite as that made by the Song people, it still has a unique flavor when eaten occasionally.
The three of them ate very slowly. They were in no hurry and just savored the food slowly.
But just when they were almost done eating, someone suddenly screamed outside, followed by a loud noise.
The three men looked at each other, stood up at the same time, walked to the balcony and looked down, and found that there were several people who looked like knights on the street, who were besieging and killing a Khitan official.
Although there were more than twenty guards protecting them, several knights easily knocked them all down, and then a middle-aged man chopped off the head of the Khitan official who was screaming in fear with one knife.
Then he grabbed the head by the hair, held it high in the air, and shouted, "This is the fate of those who sell out their ancestors for personal gain. Anyone can kill them."
The man's shout was in pure Song dialect.
Then, the man threw the head in his hand to the ground, and together with several other people, he chopped down the last few guards and left.
"So arrogant." Zhao Bilian shook her head and said with a smile, "It reminds me of Bianjing City a few years ago. It was almost like this, with knights running around. After Guard Zhan came, things got much better. Then, Aunt Yang brought her family guards to patrol every day, and the leader of the martial arts world restrained the knights. Only then did the chaos in Bianjing City come down."
Lu Xianxian was stunned for a moment: "Was the Central Plains so chaotic before?"
Instead, Lu Sen asked curiously, "Was the Central Plains not in chaos before? When Xianxian was in the Central Plains before, it should have been the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, right?"
Lu Xianxian nodded vigorously: "Back then, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was abundant, and the warriors were much stronger than they are now. But it wasn't so chaotic either, mainly because the government managed it well, and the bad guys chased the knights away."
"These people dared to surrender to Khitan without authorization. They are rare heroes." Zhao Bilian sighed, "They just acted rashly and didn't know right from wrong!"
"It's useless to kill as many as possible." Lu Sen shook his head and said, "The official they just killed was just a ninth-rank official. He was probably a bait. I think they should have been targeted by someone now."
Zhao Bilian looked at Lu Sen: "How did you know that, sir?"
"Guess."
Zhao Bilian was a little skeptical.
Lu Xianxian said from the side: "My dear, you guessed right. I just saw at least five Khitans hiding in the crowd and followed them."
Zhao Bilian sighed, "Aren't they said that the Khitans are brave? How could they be so insidious and use such a despicable scheme? The surrendered official didn't even know before his death that he was just a bait and was not taken seriously by his new master."
"He chose it himself." Lu Sen laughed and said, "Never mind, let's go to Xiao's house and take a look."
"Okay." The two women said in unison.
The Xiao family compound is easy to find. Just ask anyone and you’ll know.
After all, apart from the imperial palace, the Xiao family's garden is the most magnificent and the manor is the largest.
Lu Sen stood on the street opposite the Xiao family, looking at the gate that could accommodate at least five carriages, and then looking at the gold-painted plaque of the Xiao family, and sighed: "Bilian, this is much more magnificent than your father's house."
"After all, my father is just a prince." Zhao Bilian said unhappily, "Sir, I have a feeling that you seem to be making fun of me."
"Be more confident, your husband is just teasing you." Lu Xianxian looked at the many guards at the gate of the Xiao family, then turned around and asked, "My dear, how do you plan to establish a relationship with the Xiao family?"
"The Xiao family is a royal family. If you want to see the head of the Xiao family, you must have a certain status." Lu Sen thought for a moment and said, "How about I pretend to be a talented person and say I want to present a rare treasure and ask to see the head of the Xiao family?"
Zhao Bilian shook her head: "Sir, you are a god, how can you lower your status like this?"
Lu Xianxian also nodded: "Sister Bilian's words make sense. My dear, you can just reveal your true identity and go up and drop off the greeting card. People who practice cultivation have no worries, so why bother with so many things?"
Lu Sen disagreed with this. He said, "I have things to do, and I still need to maintain my reputation. If I visit under the name of Lu Sen, I will definitely be able to see the head of the Xiao family, but if the news gets out, many people will have a bad impression of me, which will also affect my subsequent plans."
Having said that, Lu Sen turned his head and looked at the vixen: "Xianxian, can you use your invisibility technique again?"
"It takes a lot of spiritual energy. Let alone bringing you two along, even if I just go invisible, it will probably take less than two incense sticks of time before I have to reveal my true form."
In fact, the spiritual energy in Lu Xianxian's body is also dissipating, but the speed is slightly slower.
"Then let's find an opportunity to kidnap one or two important figures in the Xiao family. In my opinion, Khitan officials are not human beings. I won't have any psychological burden to torment them."
When Lu Xianxian heard this, she covered her mouth and laughed: "My husband's bottom line can really be flexible depending on the situation."
Lu Sen didn't care about the teasing of Lu the vixen.
The only people you can joke with are your acquaintances and relatives.
"Let's go back first and wait for an opportunity."
Just when the three were about to leave, they suddenly heard shouting and killing coming from overhead. Just as they were wondering, they saw several warriors jumping and leaping on the roof, and in the blink of an eye they landed in front of the Xiao family's door.
Then he stood next to Lu Sen and the other two.
At this time, a dozen men in black uniforms of Khitan military officers came up from behind and surrounded them.
Lu Sen and the other two looked at each other. Before they could say anything, a group of Khitan soldiers rushed in from both sides of the street and trapped them all.
The gate of the Xiao family opposite was suddenly closed, and many crossbowmen appeared on the wall.
"Damn it, who betrayed us?"
The person who yelled these words was a middle-aged monk, the same one Lu Sen had met last night.
At the same time, Lu Sen also saw a white-browed boy among these people, holding a wooden board with his right arm, and his face became paler and paler.
As for the other few people, it was obvious that they were martial artists from the Central Plains.
They stood back to back, forming a circle and looking at the soldiers and Khitan military officers in the encirclement.
All of them were injured and looked terrified.
In comparison, Lu Sen and the other two seemed much calmer.
"You Song dogs, you'd better put down your weapons obediently, maybe you can save your life, otherwise, at the command..." The speaker was a middle-aged Khitan military officer. He stood on the roof and smiled condescendingly: "Not only will you be shot into a pulp, you will also be dragged to feed the dogs."
"We are just passers-by, can you let us go?" Lu Sen suddenly shouted to the military officer on the roof.
"Hehe, you say you are pedestrians, so you are pedestrians?" The eyes of the black-robed military officer were full of malice.
Lu Sen felt a headache. The three of them were trapped together. If he said that they were not in the same group with these knights, they probably wouldn't believe him.
Even if you believe it, you will kill the wrong people and not let them go.
"I'm sorry, my three friends. I've caused you trouble." A Jianghu man holding a knife wound on his chest looked at Lu Sen with an apologetic look on his face: "When we get to the underworld, you three can beat and scold me as you like."
Lu Sen turned his head to look at the man and found that the other person had a very upright temperament, and felt that he had a temperament somewhat similar to Zhan Zhao.
Lu Sen retracted his gaze, looked at the Khitan weapons on the roof, and asked, "Can't you really let us go?"
"Why should we let you go?" The black-robed military officer smiled smugly, "You are with these Song spies, so you must be spies too. Catching you is also a credit."
The Khitan soldiers nearby laughed loudly, their voices full of malice.
Lu Sen sighed and said, "Xianxian, just stand there and watch the show. Bilian and I will take action."
"Thank you for your consideration, my dear." Lu Xianxian bowed gracefully.
"I will listen to you, sir." At this moment, Bilian suddenly had a long sword in her hand. She smiled and said, "I will go first, sword control technique!"
The long sword suddenly flew into the air, turned into a silver light, and stabbed at the warrior who was obviously the leader.
The military officer had never expected that Lu Sen and the other two would dare to resist, and he had never expected that Zhao Bilian was not a "mortal".
When the flying sword was in front of him, he finally reacted and blocked it with the blade.
But the long sword in Zhao Bilian's hand was made by Lu Sen, and it was extremely sharp. In addition, the sword-wielding technique itself was an offensive technique, which meant that any weapon or object could resist it.
The long sword directly pierced the blade and then passed through the military officer's chest, bringing out a fountain of blood.
After being stunned for a while, the black-robed military officer fell straight down, his eyes not closing, staring fixedly at the sky.
"A flying sword? What kind of magic?" Another military officer reacted and shouted, "Charge, shoot. They only have a few people, and we have more people..."
Then the military officer also fell down, and the flying sword pierced through his heart from behind.
Afterwards, a large number of Khitan soldiers rushed up, and at the same time, the archers of the Xiao family also drew their bows and shot arrows.
Waves of arrows rained down.
However, Lu Sen and Zhao Bilian ignored the rain of arrows and allowed them to hit them and then bounce aside.
After waiting for a long time for the rain of arrows to stop, the soldiers rushed forward and wanted to engage in close combat with the two men.
It turned out that the opponent could not be shot by arrows or cut by knives.
Any weapon hitting them would produce a string of sparks.
The other party's clothes won't even be torn.
On the contrary, their attacks from both of them would knock one down at a time.
Especially Lu Sen, who held a scimitar in each hand, and every strike of the sword could cut a body in half.
Amid screams, a large number of corpses fell to the ground.
In a short while, most of the street was dyed red.
Lu Sen went to the left and Bilian went to the right, and they fought their way through two bloody paths.
But there was not a drop of blood on them.
The Khitans were indeed brave. If they were Song soldiers, they would have collapsed long ago, but they actually held on until one third of them died.
Then they shouted "monster" loudly, and their troops were defeated and fled in panic.
At this time, several chivalrous knights from the Song Dynasty looked at Lu Sen and Bilian with their mouths wide open.
