Chapter 225: Building the Solar Boat
Both parties felt they had made a big profit.
Lu Sen's biggest problem is that he is considered an emerging force in the cultivation world. Even with the joining of Fox and Snow Girl, it only slightly improves their combat effectiveness in the "defensive state".
After all, the two fairies consume too much spiritual energy. It is very difficult to get them used to the high-efficiency and low-absorption mode in just a few years. You can only do it slowly.
But now that Lu Jingjing has joined, she can provide a certain amount of spiritual crystals every year. This thing can be used as "blue medicine". When Lu Xianxian and Xue Nu go out, they can take a few with them as "food".
But if it is not necessary, it is generally not done.
After all, one spiritual energy crystal is equivalent to the spiritual energy of the system home for a year. If you go out and consume a few of them, the spiritual energy for several years will be gone, which is not cost-effective.
Although he had stockpiled thousands of them, and Lu Jingjing would provide him with a number of spiritual energy crystals every year, the problem was... the consumption was very high.
For example, the golden sun boat that Lu Sen plans to make this time will consume a large amount of spiritual crystals.
Lu Sen returned to the cave, took out the materials from the storage box and his system backpack, put them in a pile, and then picked out the materials needed for the solar boat one by one.
A large number of spiritual crystals were placed on the open space, and all the women around were excited when they saw them.
The systematized aura crystals are very beautiful, blue and translucent, flawless, with sparkling spots of light swimming inside the crystals.
Not to mention its function, its appearance alone is enough to make women like it.
With a little cutting and polishing, it becomes an excellent natural jewelry.
But they were just tempted and had no desire to possess them. After all, they could see that the things Lu Sen took out were useful.
Lu Sen called up the system synthesis panel, and after confirming that there were sufficient materials, he began "synthesis".
But the system suddenly prompted: "The space is too small, please try again in an open area."
Then the shadow image of the Solar Ship unit appeared.
Judging from the size, it is indeed very large, at least as big as a treasure ship.
Lu Sen had no choice but to get out of the cave and come to the top of the mountain, where he also performed the "synthesis" again.
A faint golden shadow appeared about a hundred feet above the top of the mountain. It seemed to be in the shape of a boat, but the golden light was too dim and could not be seen from a distance.
At the same time, Lu Sen’s system interface showed that there were still 720 hours left before the wonder was completed.
so long?
Lu Sen sighed. He thought this thing was the same as other synthetic items and would come out with a ding sound.
The women next to them looked at the dim golden light in the air with some curiosity.
Yang Jinhua was the eldest wife, so she had the right to speak first in such situations. She asked, "Sir, what's going on?"
In her past, she had always believed that anything her husband synthesized would come out instantly. But this time, there was only a phantom. Could it be that he failed?
"It needs to be 'built' slowly by itself." Lu Sen smiled and said, "It will take a month."
so long?
"It's already impressive that a large flying ship was built in one month," Lu Sen explained.
Everyone thought about it and it was indeed true.
Pang Meier asked curiously, "Xianxian, do you have a flying ship in the Qingqiu tribe?"
"No!" Lu Xianxian shook her head: "Although we can all fly, the speed is not that fast, and it wastes a lot of spiritual energy. Even if it is a whale, the flying distance is not far."
For all practitioners or spirits, flying is no less than a human sprinting a hundred meters. Those who can last for a stick of incense are already top masters.
Therefore, many times, the so-called gods, ghosts, goblins and monsters usually walk, and only when they want to show off their power in front of people will they pretend to fly.
At the same time, it is also supplemented by some special magic weapons to extend the flight distance.
Pang Meier asked again: "Sir, how long can this 'Sun Boat' fly?"
"Although the speed is slower, if nothing unexpected happens, there is no need to land."
Several women showed surprise.
"Sir, how about we live up there in the future?" Pang Meier suggested, "It's big enough, and living in the sky makes us look more like immortals."
At this time, Pang Meir had just entered the door and was able to absorb a certain amount of spiritual energy for her own use.
This was the result of her efforts in dual cultivation with Lu Sen. Internally, she was still the proud and gentle Pang Meir, but externally, she had begun to control her identity.
Of course, this was not for herself, but for Lu Sen. She felt that as an official's wife, a fairy wife should act like a fairy wife.
"We'll see when the time comes." Lu Sen thought for a moment and said, "Maybe living in the sky isn't as comfortable as I imagined."
Lu Sen has never lived in heaven, but he has lived in a high-rise building.
In the original world, he interned at a company in a big city and lived in a high-rise building in a residential area, which was only on the 17th floor. Late at night, when there was little wind on the ground, the wind on the upper floors was very loud.
It will be noisy when sleeping at night.
If the wind blows on the ground, it will feel like a strong gale on the upper floors, and glass windows, doors and the like will rattle.
No matter how well it is sealed, there will still be noise after a while, which is very annoying.
If this solar boat were to stay high in the sky, the wind would be even stronger.
It’s okay to stay for one or two nights, but if you stay for too long, you’ll probably become depressed by the noise.
So in Lu Sen's opinion, more often than not, the solar boat should be a symbol or a means of transportation rather than a permanent residence.
Hearing what Lu Sen said, Pang Meier smiled indifferently and said, "Who wants to live in a cave when you can live in the sky? Being in the blue sky, watching the clouds roll by, walking with the birds, sitting on the edge of the river, drinking tea and wine, and looking at the mountains and rivers, just thinking about it is comfortable."
Sitting on the edge of the boat? You'll be blown away by sudden high-altitude air currents!
Lu Sen didn't pour cold water on her, he just smiled.
When the other women heard what Pang Meir said, they were all moved and looked fascinated.
To them, this is really interesting.
Lu Sen ignored them and went straight back to the cave.
Yaoyao and Kunkun were serving on the side, one massaging Lu Sen's shoulders and back, while the other brought him pastries and poured him tea and water.
"You two are being so attentive for no reason. What do you have in mind?"
Although it is normal for disciples to serve their master, these two little girls seemed much more enthusiastic than usual, with even a hint of flattery in their eyes.
The twins looked at each other with tacit understanding, and then the eldest sister Yaoyao said, "Master, can we go back to Suzhou?"
"Go back to see your parents?" Lu Sen asked back.
The two shook their heads. They no longer had much nostalgia for their original home, but they still remembered that their grandmother was very good to them.
So they wanted to go back and see their grandmother.
"Master, we dreamed about grandma last night. She didn't seem to be feeling well." Kunkun bit her lips and said, "We are a little worried."
In fact, Yaoyao and Kunkun are both very sensible. They have been trained in the brothel for several years, so of course they are "sensible".
If it wasn't something very important, they wouldn't do this, but both of them felt a little uneasy and always felt a bit frightened.
Lu Sen was a little surprised and asked, "You both dreamed about your grandma? Did you dream about the same thing?"
They both nodded at the same time.
I see!
Lu Sen knew that practitioners were a kind of creatures beyond ordinary people, so it was not surprising that they occasionally had miraculous sensations.
After all, some people's talents are to seek good fortune and avoid misfortune.
Lu Sen thought for a while and said, "Take Ah Huang and the others with you. Twenty family generals will go back with you on the boat. You can use the medium-sized boat I left at the Dark Harbor. Take some fruits and honey back with you. You have your own Qiankun Sleeve backpacks, so take more."
The two were overjoyed and bowed together and said with a smile: "Thank you, Master."
"Go ahead, don't delay."
Then the two girls happily went to find the servant Ah Huang and others.
Suzhou is not far from Hangzhou, and both are " nodes" of the Grand Canal, so traveling by boat is relatively convenient and fast.
There is no need to worry about safety. Both of them, like Lu Sen, have a system. Although it is a castrated version, they can also wear armor like Lu Sen.
They themselves have now mastered some basic martial arts skills, and with the help of their family guards, there is no need to worry about safety issues under normal circumstances.
If they used a flying vehicle, they could return to Suzhou faster... but Lu Sen hadn't given it to them yet.
It's been less than a year since these two little girls started school, and giving them flying machines now may spoil them.
That afternoon, Yaoyao and Kunkun left, and the cave returned to its normal life.
Although there is Lu Jingjing now, there is not much change. She loves to sleep and only wakes up once every two or three days.
In addition, the women in the family have a new hobby, which is to sit on the top of the mountain every evening to drink tea and watch how the golden sun boat in the sky is being "built"!
As time passed, the shadow in the air gradually solidified. Now at dusk, the structure and appearance of the ship could be clearly seen around the top of the mountain.
It is estimated that in about ten days, people in Hangzhou should be able to see the golden shadow in the sky.
Then...Mu Guiying came to the door.
She said she came to visit her daughter, but Lu Sen knew that she must have come to see him for something.
As expected, after casually talking to her daughter for a few words, she turned to Lu Sen and said, "Sen'er, now that our Yang family has settled down, I plan to go to the northwest to look for Wen Guang. Do you have any way to confirm his life or death, or his location?"
Lu Sen asked Mu Shuan to find two Japanese priestesses.
Mu Guiying looked at the two Japanese witches, frowned slightly, and said, "Sen'er, you must take care of yourself."
Lu Sen said helplessly: "Don't worry, my wives and concubines are only Jinhua, Bilian, and Mei'er."
Mu Guiying immediately realized that she had said too much, so she explained, "It's not that I don't allow you to touch women, I just want you to take care of your body. If Wen Guang is really gone, the descendants of our Yang family will rely on you and Jinhua's efforts."
Lu Sen breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that he was afraid that he would have too much sex and weaken his body.
In fact, Mu Guiying knew how "absurd" Lu Sen was. Whenever Yang Jinhua visited her parents' home occasionally and whispered to her mother, Mu Guiying would get all the secrets out of her.
She was surprised that Lu Sen was having so much fun.
She used to feel ashamed when she was intimate with her husband for a long time.
"Let's talk about Wen Guang." Lu Sen asked, "Did you get his birth date and time?"
"Here." Mu Guiying handed over a small piece of paper.
Lu Sen handed it to Izumo Akuni who was behind.
After the two Japanese priestesses took one look at each other, they began to perform a sacrificial dance on the spot. This was a means of resonating with heaven and earth and enhancing their own spirituality.
After a while, they stopped dancing, one shook the bamboo stick tube, and the other threw down a few copper coins.
After a while, Izumo Aguo said, "We don't know whether this noble man is dead or alive, but we can determine his direction, which is northwest . And I have to say one word, cool."
cold?
Lu Sen and Mu Guiying looked at each other.
Lu Sen hadn't thought of it yet, but Mu Guiying already knew it. She shouted, "Xiliang."
Xiliang was one of the important commercial towns of the Western Xia Kingdom and was also quite famous.
It is probably the area around present-day Wuwei City.
Knowing where her son was, Mu Guiying stood up and was about to leave, but Yang Jinhua, who had been standing next to her, grabbed Mu Guiying's hand and said, "Mother, please wait a moment."
"Now that I know about your elder brother, I am extremely worried. Jinhua, please don't stop me. Wait until I come back to talk to you."
Lu Sen stood up and said, "Mother-in-law, please wait a moment and listen to me."
Mu Guiying could choose not to give face to her daughter, but she had to give face to Lu Sen.
She had no choice but to stop and say, "Sen'er, please speak."
"If my mother-in-law goes to Xiliang by herself, it will definitely be a troublesome matter."
Mu Guiying frowned.
Lu Sen explained: "You are the famous Marshal Mu. You have fought no less than ten battles with Xixia and killed countless Xixia people. They hate you so much. If they knew you appeared in Xixia, what do you think they would do?"
"I can disguise myself."
"My mother-in-law's disguise skills are average. You can change your face, but not your temperament. Now that Xixia and Song are hostile, any outsider, even if they are from Song, even if they are village girls, will probably be captured by them."
In fact, Lu Sen didn’t say anything else: the Xixia people have always liked to abduct women from the Central Plains and bring them home.
The environment in Western Xia was harsh, and they valued boys over girls, resulting in a serious imbalance in the gender ratio. They liked to abduct foreign women and bring them back to bear children for them.
No matter how ugly Mu Guiying's makeup was, as long as she was still a woman, she would be harassed by the Xixia people once she entered Xixia.
Compared to the Western Xia, the Khitans were indeed "people".
Mu Guiying was not stupid. She had also thought of this. After standing there for a moment, her expression gradually became serious. She said, "No matter what, Wen Guang will be found after all."
"If it's not convenient for you to come out, I'll go for you." Lu Sen said with a smile.
Lu Sen has a flying vehicle, so it is not difficult for him to go to Xixia or to sneak in.
If she were an ordinary woman, she would obviously want Lu Sen's help, but she would probably have to join hands for the sake of face. However, Mu Guiying was a heroine who was straightforward. She nodded and smiled, "Then I'll trouble Sen'er."
"It's our duty to share the worries of our elders."
Because of love for the person, Lu Sen likes Yang Jinhua very much now, so he also has a great liking for the Yang family.
Besides, the Yang family had been really nice to him before.
At this time, a family general came in and reported: "Sir, a large group of people are coming from Hangzhou City, heading towards our mountain."
