Chapter 340 As I wish
The honey wine was poured into the cup, and Queen Mother of the West handed it to Lu Sen with both hands, her eyes full of anticipation.
Lu Sen took the wine glass, his heart filled with emotion.
I guess I might be the first human to be toasted by the Queen Mother of the West. What an honor it is.
He drank it all in one gulp and said, "What does the universe in your heart look like?"
"It's the well-known round sky and square earth. How could it be otherwise?" Queen Mother of the West muttered to herself, "But I never thought that I could actually see that the earth is a sphere. It's so shocking. Why don't people fall off, but get stuck on the sphere ?"
Lu Sen asked curiously, "Hasn't your Majesty ever thought about this issue for such a long time?"
"I have actually thought about it. I guess there is some kind of magical power that is sucking us up there all the time." Queen Mother of the West sighed, "But this magical power doesn't seem like a spell, so I dare not conclude."
Lu Sen clasped his fists and smiled, "In fact, your Majesty is not wrong. There is indeed a 'force' that is sucking us onto it."
Next, he explained some basic physical concepts and basic astronomical knowledge to the Queen Mother of the West.
Because she had the knowledge of 'Earth', Queen Mother of the West understood things very quickly.
"You mean, Jinwu is not the sun now?" Queen Mother Xi frowned. After a while, she suddenly said, "Is it possible that Jinwu was the sun and the sun now is also the sun? When I was young, the black fog in the sky that I saw was actually a cage."
Lu Sen nodded: "Just now I heard what the queen said, and I also had this idea."
According to the Queen Mother of the West, the sky tens of thousands of years ago, or even hundreds of thousands of years ago, was very high, but she could fly to the top.
Not only could she not fly to the top of the sky right now, but the higher she went, the harder it became to breathe, and there even seemed to be a force pulling her back.
"What about the Moon Palace?" Lu Sen suddenly thought of this: "Did the Queen go to the Moon Palace back then? I mean the Moon Palace hanging in the sky, not the hidden place."
Queen Mother of the West nodded: "Of course I have been there. It is covered with jade that can glow at night. The Moon Palace and the Heavenly Palace used to float in the sky. It was not until the spiritual energy was exhausted that they landed on the ground and turned into hidden places, which are what you humans call caves."
This is really interesting.
Lu Sen felt great interest, and a sense of pleasure arose spontaneously as he peeked into the dark side of history.
He couldn't help but ask, "Are there any other differences?"
"There are some. The innate instincts of the human race and the witch race are both declining." Queen Mother of the West thought for a while and said, "Take your human race as an example. I remember when the human race first appeared, your human babies could walk two months after birth, speak four months after birth, lift stones to build walls at the age of three, and subdue tigers and leopards at the age of six. But now... they are much weaker. The same is true for our witch race."
When Lu Sen heard this, he subconsciously rubbed his chin.
In other words, some of the ancient books of that time were not exaggerated. The human race was really strong at first, and could tear wild beasts apart with bare hands?
"Anything else?"
Queen Mother of the West nodded and said, "Of course, the world was not so vast back then. When I was young, I couldn't fly, and it only took me a month to run from east to west. Now, this round earth is much more vast than it was back then."
Regional evolution, or regional opening up?
If you think about it carefully, some strange historical myths make sense.
For example, Nuwa mending the sky!
For example, Mount Buzhou, the pillar that reaches the sky!
If this is true, then there is something very wrong behind this world.
Lu Sen subconsciously looked out the window, and a large piece of the purple luck emanating from Bao Zheng was swallowed up by "someone".
Queen Mother of the West also looked in the direction of Lu Sen's eyes. She trembled slightly, then looked at Lu Sen again with some horror in her eyes: "You mean, someone is targeting our Wu clan?"
"I can't help but think so." Lu Sen nodded: "In fact, it is not only targeting the Wu clan, it may even be targeting our human race, or the Chinese race."
The Queen Mother of the West thought about it again and felt that it made sense.
As long as the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is lost, both the witch clan and the human race will become weak, and the witch clan will even disappear.
Others who became immortals from humans had the same fate.
It would be very easy for other barbarians to cause cholera in China.
The whale disaster was a secret plan, but unfortunately it was cracked by Lu Sen.
And now, the great wave of fortune initiated by Bao Zheng has been swallowed up again. It is abnormal no matter how you think about it.
Lu Sen's expression turned serious: "If that's the case, things will be troublesome. Madam, may I trouble you with a favor?"
"Go ahead, I'll listen first."
"Can we go to the west and have a look?" Lu Sen said.
Queen Mother Xi stared at him with an unhappy look on her face: "You want me to run errands for you?"
"I know nothing about luck." At this moment, the luck in Lu Sen's eyes was gradually disappearing, because the effect of the Queen Mother's blood was fading. "If the Queen Mother takes a trip, there will be gains. Besides, this matter is not for me, but for the human race and the witch race."
Queen Mother Xi shook her head: "I don't have that ability now. I can't stop the monsters and demons that can swallow such a large amount of luck."
Lu Sen waved his hand without hesitation, and a pile of green spirit stones suddenly appeared on the table.
Queen Mother Xi was stunned at first, then she took a deep breath and said, " Boy, you are quite capable."
This pile of spirit stones is enough to allow her to return to her heyday within a month or two.
The Queen Mother of the West herself had no idea how powerful she was during her heyday.
"Are you not afraid that I will turn around and deal with you after I take the spirit stone?"
Lu Sen shook his head: "If that were the case, Your Majesty would not have stood on the side of China during the Battle of the Counties."
"Okay, I'll go there." Queen Mother Xi stretched out her hand and clenched it. The spiritual stones on the table turned into spiritual energy and sank into her palm. "Whoever dares to plot against me, I'll give him a claw first, no matter who he is."
The spiritual energy completely absorbed into the body of the Queen Mother of the West, and then her body began to grow and she became taller.
After a short while, she changed from a young girl into a young woman with a more voluptuous figure, the kind that makes people want to bleed from the nose when looking at her.
Then she flicked her long leopard tail behind her and looked down at Lu Sen: "In half a month at the shortest, or a month at the longest, I will come back and tell you the news. If I can't come back, then something must have happened."
At this time, Queen Mother of the West was a head taller than Lu Sen, and her height was estimated to be about two meters.
Then she burst into laughter and transformed into a huge spotted tiger. She broke through the roof, ran into the sky, then turned and flew to the west, as fast as a meteor and disappeared in a flash.
This scene naturally attracted the attention of the people in Hangzhou.
They were shocked and pointed fingers.
Lu Sen waited for the store owner to come in and then made compensation.
The Queen Mother of the West smashed someone's roof , how can she not compensate?
Then Lu Sen returned to the mountain gate, and the four foxes immediately came up and asked, "Just now I saw the divine light disappear, and it seemed that a great power appeared in Hangzhou City. What happened?"
As a member of the same demon race, the Qingqiu Fox can naturally sense the Queen Mother of the West.
Lu Sen explained what happened, and then said, "We have to actively prepare for the war, as the situation is becoming increasingly unclear."
Xianxian sighed and said, "I didn't expect that there was a secret force behind Zhizhi's journey to the west."
"It's just speculation, not confirmed." Lu Sen thought for a while and said, "Go and tell Zhizhi about this, and ask her to go out less. If she really wants to go out, she has to be careful."
Xianxian naturally agreed: "I will persuade He Zhizhi. In fact... the best way to make her willing to obey is to make her one of our own."
Lu Sen rolled his eyes helplessly.
I am busy enough now. If I add another order to it, it will be a miracle if I can still be alive in the future.
Then Lu Sen flew to the government office and heard from Zhao Zongchu that Bao Zheng had just set out and was preparing to head north. He immediately went to the port of Hangzhou Canal and saw Zhan Zhao protecting Bao Zheng, sitting at the port waiting to board the ship.
Lu Sen landed.
When the people around saw Lu Sen's aircraft, they subconsciously stepped back and made room.
Bao Zheng came forward, clasped his fists and asked, "Master Lu, you seem to be in a hurry. Does it seem like something important has happened? Is it related to the sky-high light not long ago?"
Although he was outside the city, Bao Zheng still saw the amazing sight of the Queen Mother of the West flying.
"It is indeed somewhat related." Lu Sen clasped his fists and replied, "Prefect Bao, I want to go north to persuade Yelu Hongji to surrender to the Song Dynasty. When you arrive in Bianjing, tell the Prince of Runan and the important officials in the court about it, so that you can make preparations early."
Bao Zheng had originally looked very relaxed, but upon hearing this, he immediately asked seriously, "Did something unexpected happen?"
Just over half a day ago, Lu Sen said that he was not considering persuading Yelu Hongji for the time being, but now he suddenly changed his mind.
He knew that Lu Sen was not a fickle person, and there must be an important reason for this.
"Something has indeed happened." At this time, Lu Sen could no longer see the luck emanating from Bao Zheng. He sighed and said, "If I guessed right, things will be very troublesome."
Bao Zheng immediately asked, "Is there anything I can do to help?"
Zhan Zhao, who was standing beside him, immediately came forward with his wife and said, "Master Lu, my husband and I are willing to temporarily follow you and be at your disposal."
Bao Zheng nodded repeatedly beside him. He admired Zhan Zhao's bravery and loyalty.
Lu Sen shook his head: "No need to trouble you two for now. Don't worry, if I really get into trouble, I will definitely ask you for help."
Then Lu Sen chatted with them for a few minutes and said goodbye, flying directly to the north.
Bao Zheng frowned and said, "It seems that something big is going to happen. Even Master Lu looks troubled. Could it be that the Song Dynasty is about to face a disaster?"
The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became. He said to Zhan Zhao, "Guard Zhan, please spend a lot of money to buy a fast boat and hire a few sailors. We will travel day and night and rush back to Bianjing."
Lu Sen did not send Bao Zheng back to Kaifeng directly because he wanted to create a time difference.
Even if Yelu Hongji was persuaded to surrender to the Song Dynasty, it would take time for the former's envoys to go to Bianliang, and by that time Bao Zheng would have returned to the capital.
Accepting the surrender of an emperor requires many procedures.
The reason why he was anxious to let Yelu Hongji return to the Song Dynasty was to eliminate the destabilizing factors around the Song Dynasty. If the enemy in the dark really wanted to target the Song Dynasty, or China, then the war would definitely be comprehensive and would involve the entire East and West.
A Song Dynasty with no external threats and intact territorial integrity would definitely be able to take its ability to resist disasters to a higher level.
Lu Sen was flying north. Not long after, he felt someone calling him from behind. When he turned around, he found that it was Lingling chasing him.
He stopped in the air, opened the cover, Lingling flew in, hugged Lu Sen and looked very happy.
"How did you come?"
"Jinhua asked me to come here." Lingling smiled brightly, "She said that you can't be left without someone to take care of you outside, and Xianxian needs to stay at the mountain gate and preside over the situation with Jinhua, so she asked me to come here."
This actually means letting Ling Ling have more contact with Lu Sen.
After all, she and Lu Sen had spent the shortest time together.
"Then I'll trouble you."
Lu Sen was actually quite happy. Ever since he came to the Song Dynasty, he had been taken care of in terms of food, clothing and daily life.
At first, Heizhu and Ringo took care of him, and later, after he got married and took concubines, there were more people taking care of him.
It can be said that he has everything he needs, such as clothes to wear and food to eat.
His personal ability to live has declined significantly, and he is almost half disabled.
Although Lingling was the queen before, it can be seen during this period that she also knows how to take care of people.
After all, it is a Qingqiu fox.
Lu Sen flew for two days and three nights and arrived at Zhongjing Prefecture.
Floating above the palace, Lu Sen took a few deep breaths, and let out all the impatience in his heart, appearing calm and composed again.
The aircraft landed slowly.
The palace guards had already spotted Lu Sen's aircraft. After confirming it, they reported it and quickly showed a welcoming gesture.
Hundreds of beauties and concubines sang and danced in front of the hall.
Lu Sen landed in the center of the crowd, surrounded by the smell of rouge and powder.
Lu Sen came out of the aircraft, and Ling Ling also walked out.
Her appearance surprised many people around her.
There is no other reason, Empress Xiao and Lingling look almost exactly the same .
Everyone thought that it was Lu Sen who brought Empress Xiao into the palace, but after careful identification, they found that it was not the Xiao outside the palace.
Following the young eunuch, Lu Sen and Ling Ling came to the side hall.
Yelu Hongji was sitting in the main seat. When he saw Lu Sen, he immediately stood up. When he was about to speak, he saw Lingling. He was stunned for a while before realizing that this woman was not his queen.
Although they looked the same, this woman was more beautiful, had a better temperament, and was extremely bright and beautiful.
Although Yelu felt strange, he still looked away, clasped his fists towards Lu Sen and said, "Master Lu, long time no see."
Lu Sen clasped his fists in return: "It's been a long time. I was passing by and came here to chat with an old friend."
friend?
Yelu Hongji sighed in his heart. If it were more than a year ago, he could consider Lu Sen a friend, but now... he didn't dare.
Although the rebels had been blocked outside Zhongjing Prefecture on the surface, he knew that if they continued to consume the enemy's energy, he would surely be defeated within a year.
For more than a year, he has been living in anxiety and stress, and he can't even sleep well.
I was afraid of hearing shouts and screams outside the palace.
"I am flattered that Master Lu still remembers me." Yelu Hongji smiled bitterly, "I am looking forward to meeting Master Lu, and I am very anxious."
Is he anxious?
Lu Sen looked at Yelu Hongji and found that his temples were gray, his face was yellow and swollen, and he looked very old.
You know, Yelu Hongji was still in his prime at that time.
It seems that the other party is under great mental pressure.
Lu Sen suddenly felt that there was no need to beat around the bush: "Then let me bring up the old matter again. Are you willing to be an idle prince of the Song Dynasty in the land of Jiangnan? If so, I can ensure that you enjoy your old age happily and your children sleep peacefully."
Yelu Hongji was stunned at first, then he clasped his fists and bowed in ecstasy: "That's exactly what you wish!"
He is really very tired.
