Chapter 235: Being followed
In Lu Sen and Yang Jinhua's minds, "turn over" means searching the place thoroughly.
But in Lu Xianxian's concept, "flip" really means flip!
The literal one.
She used her magic to pull up the upper half of the mound, revealing the hole in the middle.
A hunter in the distance looked at the scene in horror, then turned and ran.
Not long after, rumors began to spread that the "Mountain God" had appeared in Qingqiu.
After half of the hill was suspended in the air, Lu Xianxian lost a lot of spiritual energy and turned back into a giant fox.
She quickly ran to the 'cross section' of the hill and looked around for a while.
Lu Sen and Yang Jinhua followed, and when they passed the ground, they found that Lu Xianxian, who had transformed into a fox, was carrying a "plate" back.
She walked in front of Lu Sen, then lay on the ground with her four legs weak, and murmured: "My dear, please build a small cave for me. I can't hold on any longer."
Looking at the fox whose eyes could hardly open, Lu Sen built a small "home" on the ground.
At the same time, the earth mound that was suspended several meters in the air fell back to the ground with a loud bang, and the entire area shook several times.
The spiritual energy in the system home was slowly growing, and Lu Xianxian's strength was gradually recovering. Yang Jinhua on the side stuffed a few fruits into the fox's mouth to speed up its recovery.
Lu Sen sat aside, looking at the plate in his hand.
It’s not quite right to call it a plate.
This thing is a slightly concave round disc with many black lines patterned on it like ghostly talismans. From Lu Sen's perspective, it seems a bit like a circuit board handmade by a novice.
After looking for a while, there was no prompt in the system's field of view, so Lu Sen put it down.
At this time, Lu Xianxian finally had some strength. She placed a furry paw under her chin and said slowly, "My dear, that is the magic weapon for entering Qingqiu. However, the spiritual energy symbol on it has disappeared. Now it is no different from an ordinary mortal object."
"Can you recharge it with spiritual energy to restore its function?" Lu Sen asked.
Lu Xianxian said rather embarrassedly: "It should be possible, but I don't know how to restore it. This is made and maintained by someone in the tribe."
Oh! Lu Sen nodded to show that he understood.
Lu Xianxian looked at Lu Sen's expression and felt a little embarrassed.
Actually...she is considered to be relatively rebellious in the Qingqiu clan. She likes to have fun everywhere, just like Daji back then.
He doesn't like studying and is a poor student.
Most Qingqiu foxes like to stay in the small space of their tribe, where there is plenty of food and a vast living space.
You can study what you like, so although the number of Qingqiu foxes is small, they have their own set of inheritance.
Also, because of the strong learning atmosphere in the Qingqiu fox tribe, the Qingqiu foxes that run out to the human world to play prefer scholars, because there is a culture of worshipping learning in their own tribe.
"That is to say, as long as you hold this thing, one day , when Qingqiu reopens, you can go back, right?" Lu Sen asked.
"The premise is that the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is sufficient. Qingqiu felt from the 'inside' that the spiritual energy of the Central Plains is sufficient. Otherwise, they would not open the entrance."
Lu Xianxian murmured in reply, then let out a long sigh.
For her, having no home to return to is a tragedy in itself.
The Qingqiu fox is actually a very homesick creature. Although the Lu family is now her home, Qingqiu will always have a special meaning to her and is an irreplaceable part of her.
She came here in the morning with only a glimmer of hope...hoping to go back.
But now even this glimmer of hope is gone. Although I have been mentally prepared, I still cannot stop feeling sad.
Yang Jinhua squatted beside it, stroking the giant fox's head, and said, "Don't worry, Xianxian. Now you are also surnamed Lu, and we are also a family. I believe that after a while, the master will find the real whale and seal him up again."
"Then I'll trouble you here first."
Lu Xianxian glanced at Lu Sen and grinned.
In fact, she had no hope in her heart.
The fighting power of whales is indeed not strong, but if they really want to hide, they are almost impossible to find.
Under normal circumstances, only the deduction spells can barely find things like "demons and ghosts", but whales have the ability to devour the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and the deduction skills have almost no effect on whales.
And the current whale plague should be accompanied by the Western World Tree.
The World Tree in the Central Plains is called the Fusang Tree, which possesses "luck". Whale Huan joins forces with it, one provides spiritual energy and the other provides luck, which is almost a perfect combination.
I dare not say how powerful they are, but they can definitely hide. As long as they don't seek death, no one can find them.
Unless that person's aura is strong enough to overwhelm the World Tree.
Lu Xianxian is still feeling lost.
At this moment, Lu Sen looked to the side, his expression gradually becoming solemn.
Yang Jinhua noticed this and asked, "Sir, have you found anything?"
Lu Sen pointed in the direction he was looking and said, "There is someone spying on us over there, but he is hiding."
Yang Jinhua looked over and saw no one, only a green forest and some animals and birds.
Lu Sen looked at Lu Xianxian and asked, "How much time do you need to transform?"
"It should be done in another half an hour." Lu Xianxian gave a bitter smile: "Fortunately I didn't get ahead of myself and asked my husband to come with me."
She was afraid that someone might be following her, but she didn't expect that this caution was actually the right thing to do.
"They are probably from Tianji Sect." Lu Sen sighed, "We have only been out for a few days and they have been following us. I guess they have been calculating you. When they calculate that you may be 'weakened', they will appear. But they seem to have not calculated me and did not expect me to follow them."
Shandong was called Jingdong at that time, and it was generally the place where the families of officials were exiled. But in reality, very few families of guilty officials were exiled here, and they were usually symbolically thrown near the capital.
Jingdong is close to the sea, and the people from Tianji Sect are very good at activities on the sea, so it is not difficult to chase them here.
Besides, Lu Sen and others were delayed on the road for a few days.
Lu Xianxian sneered and said, "It seems that the Tianji Sect is still obsessed with my fox tail and fox heart."
Lu Sen smiled and said, "That means Xianxian, you are very valuable. If you think about it from another angle, it's actually quite good."
Lu Xianxian looked at Lu Sen and suddenly asked, "Why don't you want my fox heart and tail? You are also an alchemist, and you are good at refining weapons and alchemy. I think my fox heart and tail should be useful to you."
In fact, Lu Xianxian’s question was not that abrupt.
All parts of the body of any monster, no matter whether good or evil, are good things and are the dream of many alchemists.
Not to mention that the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is now exhausted, and it is hard to find any trace of monsters in the world. Lu Xianxian has become the "divine object" that all practitioners in all sects and all practitioners must obtain.
If he refined her body and ate it, he would definitely be able to live a few hundred more years, maybe even last until the spiritual energy of heaven and earth warmed up.
In addition, many of Lu Sen's system recipes also require organs of "monsters", and even a few recipes specify the need for something like "fox demon living heart".
But Lu Sen was not interested.
Whether it is longevity, wealth, or powerful equipment, they can all be obtained from other recipes. Why should I kill the only 'Qingqiu Fox' in the Central Plains?
This is even rarer than the giant panda. Wouldn't it be better to protect it and check on it from time to time?
Besides, this fox demon not only can whimper, but also knows how to protect the home.
Lu Sen planned to chat casually here, and after half an hour, he left in a flying vehicle. It was just right that the people from Tianji Sect did not come out, and he was too lazy to cause trouble for them.
Because you can't tell whether the other party will set a trap there.
Half an hour was actually quite a long time. Just as he made up his mind, a person appeared on the opposite side.
Then he walked over slowly.
Lu Sen and others turned around and watched.
The man had an immortal look, with a face as white as a crown, a long black beard, and a green robe. He held a sword in his hand. The scabbard was black with some patterns on it, and looked simple and restrained.
"Elder of Tianji Sect, Xiang Qingying has met Master Lu. I didn't expect to meet you in such a remote place. I am very happy." Then he looked at the huge fox behind Lu Sen and said with a smile: "I heard that Master Lu's cave is quite magical. Can you let me go in and broaden my horizons?"
The three people on Lu Sen's side all laughed.
The look of disdain was almost overflowing.
Lu Sen smiled and said, "Elder Xiang also knows that this is a remote place. As the saying goes, when you go out, you should be cautious of people. If there is anything, just talk through the fence. It will be better for everyone."
Xiang Qingying subconsciously pinched the long sword in his hand and said, "Master Lu seems a little timid in his cautiousness."
Lu Sen just smiled and didn't seem to be moved.
He has no interest in what the other party says.
As soon as Lu Xianxian can transform, he will leave immediately.
It’s not that she’s afraid, but Lu Xianxian is weak now. If a fight really breaks out, she can’t guarantee what kind of backup the other party will have.
It’s better to be cautious.
Time is on Lu Sen's side. As long as he can "survive" for a few more years, wait for his world tree to grow bigger, and wait for his strength to become stronger, then it should not be a problem for him to defeat Tianji Sect with Lu Xianxian, Lu Jingjing and Xue Nu.
Why confront a strong enemy at this time?
If it doesn't work, there are redstone bombs as a deterrent.
Seeing that Lu Sen was not provoked by his words, Xiang Qingying frowned, then gently relaxed her eyebrows and said, "Master Lu, the fox demon behind you is a thousand-year-old evil creature. As a member of a famous and upright sect, why do you have to associate with such a demon and lose your dignity?"
Haha... you failed to provoke me, but now you want to talk about reason?
Lu Sen smiled and said, "I like to hang out with monsters. Does Tianji Sect have any objection? Besides, if you really count, the Fusang tree on your Tianji Island is also a monster. Isn't Tianji Sect hanging out with monsters? It's quite interesting to see the thief crying thief."
All non-human intelligent creatures are demons.
Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that the Fusang tree is a demon.
Xiang Qingying's face darkened slightly when he heard this, and he snorted, "It seems that Master Lu is not only proficient in magical skills, but he also seems to have practiced his mouth. I guess he learned it from a monk."
There is deep malice hidden in these words. At this time, Buddhism and Taoism are somewhat "conflicting", as both are aimed at promoting their own beliefs and ideas.
Now Zhao Song believes in Taoism more, but Zhao Zhen died after eating an elixir before, and the influence of Taoism has declined. Buddhism took this opportunity to occupy a large territory. On the surface, there is nothing wrong between the two sides, but secretly there is a hidden tendency of water and fire.
Ying Qingying said that Lu Sen had learned how to reason from Bald Donkey, which meant that he worshipped his enemy as his teacher, which meant he was betraying his teacher and ancestors.
Lu Sen understood what he said. He had seen countless sarcastic remarks on the Internet . As soon as Xiang Qingying said this, Lu Sen knew what the other party was planning.
He sneered and said, "Is Tianji Sect going to become an enemy of my Lu family?"
"What do you mean?" Xiang Qingying pretended not to understand: "I don't think I have offended Master Lu in ."
After the world tree of Tianji Sect was healed, the entire island "produced" more spiritual energy, and now the overall strength of Tianji Sect has greatly increased.
But the "redstone bomb" that Lu Sen had thrown before had too much impact on everyone in the Tianji Sect.
Before being completely sure, Tianjimen did not want to break off relations with Lu Sen.
"Since you don't want to be an enemy of my Lu family, then you should spit out the shit in your mouth before talking to me." Lu Sen's face turned cold. "As an elder, you are beating around the bush. I'm going to say this now. The fox behind me is now named Lu Xianxian. She is from my Lu family. If you want to touch her, you must first ask me, Lu Sen, for permission. If she suffers any grievances outside, I will go to the island of your Tianji Sect and tear down the Fusang tree for you."
This is blunt and merciless.
But the feeling is different depending on the person listening.
The huge fox was still lying on the ground, but her eyes were narrowed into crescent shapes.
Yang Jinhua looked at Lu Sen, feeling very happy but also a little jealous, with her little mouth slightly pouted.
When Xiang Qingying heard this, his face turned as black as charcoal. He stared at Lu Sen and clenched his hands around the sword even tighter.
Lu Sen looked at him without hesitation.
The two sides' momentum was clashing. After a moment, Xiang Qingying spoke first. He said coldly, "Master Lu should also know that the fox demon behind you has a feud with our Tianji Sect. We are determined to save her life. Can you please help me? I will definitely reward you handsomely."
"What feud? You just want her fox heart to make pills, don't you?" Lu Sen mercilessly exposed the other party's plan: "Based on my Xianxian's Taoism, if she is refined into pills, it is estimated that everyone in your Tianji Sect can eat one pill."
After Lu Xianxian revealed her true form, her body was extremely huge and could not be stewed in one pot. This should be able to greatly increase the strength of the entire Tianji Sect to a higher level.
Of course, this was Lu Sen’s guess!
But the other person's expression changed drastically, with a hint of anger in his surprise.
He stared at Lu Sen and suddenly said, "Master Lu is very clever. When did he plant a spy in my Tianji Sect?"
This matter is the secret of Tianji Sect, and the entire Tianji Sect is working hard for this matter.
They gathered all their strength to calculate Lu Xianxian's whereabouts and whether she would be good or bad.
He just wanted to find an opportunity to refine this thousand-year-old fox and achieve the goal of "ascending the sect to heaven."
But it was revealed by Lu Sen.
How could Xiang Qingying not be shocked and angry?
Logically speaking, this matter is only known to the management and core disciples of Tianji Sect, which means... there is a problem within their organization.
He looked at Lu Sen coldly, and without waiting for Lu Sen to speak, he slowly backed away.
It seemed to be retreating very slowly, and in fact it was very slow, like a ghost, and then it disappeared into the mountains and forests.
"It's a pretty powerful Shadow Step." Lu Xianxian snorted, "It seems that the Tianji Sect is not as affected as other sects."
