This Northern Song Dynasty is a bit weird

Chapter 338

According to ancient books, the Queen Mother of the West is beautiful, dignified, kind and peaceful!

Anyway, it is how good it is and how much it is praised, but this is actually the emotion of "hiding the venerable" of later generations at work.

In the real Queen Mother of the West, her demonic and animal nature is far greater than 'human nature'.

In ancient times, there were no rules and constraints such as etiquette. When monster clans met, they had to have a fight first.

Moreover, the average strength of the monster race is very strong. In that environment, if the human race wants to obtain the right to survive, they can only form a group, or become stronger than the monster race.

So the human race is also very straightforward in doing things, and the general environment is like this.

Queen Mother Xi likes this straightforward style. In her opinion, those who are afraid of her are her 'subordinates', and they are not qualified to 'negotiate' with her.

If Lu Sen behaved very afraid of her, then she would only become very tough in this negotiation, even unreasonable.

But Lu Sen is not afraid of her, so he will gain her respect, and we can talk about things slowly.

"I have inquired outside, your name is Lu Sen." The Queen Mother of the West showed off another flat peach, and said, "I have taken a fancy to your family's hibiscus tree, and wanted to snatch it away after my strength recovered."

When the words came out, everyone was shocked.

Lu Sen asked calmly: "What was it that made the empress change her mind?"

"The fat black man next to you is exuding monstrous luck."

Black fat man?
Then Lu Sen realized that it was Bao Zheng who went to sea for more than two years and was scorched by the sun.

"I have lived for a long time, and I have only seen three times of great luck." Xi Wangmu recalled for a moment, and then said: "I can understand the ins and outs of the first two times of luck. But only this time, I can't understand it. Why? Luck is radiated from a mortal, so why should luck be distributed to you on its own initiative?"

Lu Sen frowned, and asked, "I've heard of the theory of luck. It's just that this luck can't be seen or touched, and I don't know it at all."

Whale brought hibiscus trees to Europe to plant, didn't he just want to mess with the luck of the Central Plains.

"It doesn't matter if you can't see it, I just want to ask you, what great things did that fat black man do recently to get his luck?"

What has Bao Zheng done recently?
Traveled around the world, brought back seeds and books, and drew nautical charts!

Oh... Lu Sen understands.

In other words, Bao Zheng's trip around the world this time has really played a role, and will it inspire the spirit of sailing and adventure in the entire Song Dynasty in the future?

Thus opening the Northern Song version of the era of great navigation?

Seeing Lu Sen suddenly realized, Queen Mother Xi said, "You should know the reason by now."

"Indeed."

"Then let's listen to it and see if I can rub some more."

After thinking for a while, Lu Sen talked about some of the core content of the Age of Discovery, and then mentioned the Great Geographical Discovery, slave trade, productivity improvement, and so on.

Explain the connection among them.

He had tried to speak as simply as possible, but Queen Mother Xi became more and more confused the more she listened.

Finally, Queen Mother Xi rubbed her forehead, and looked at the people beside her with some pain: "Can you understand?"

Yang Jinhua and the others shook their heads in embarrassment.

They really don't understand what the officials are saying.

"Fortunately, it doesn't look like I've become stupid." Queen Mother Xi breathed a sigh of relief, and subconsciously pursed her lips: "Since we can't get luck, let's change the deal. I want to absorb some luck from you, how about it?"

"no!"

Lu Sen didn't even answer, but Yang Jinhua spoke first.

Queen Mother Xi looked at Yang Jinhua in surprise, because at this moment she found that Yang Jinhua was suddenly not afraid of herself.

This is... Standing up for a man, so you have nothing to fear?

"Why?" Queen Mother Xi looked at Yang Jinhua with a little more appreciation in her tone.

After saluting, Yang Jinhua replied: "Even ordinary people like me understand that luck is one of the most important things for people and the country. The empress sucked away the luck of my officials and made him suffer from bad luck." , this matter is absolutely impossible, as a lady, I do not agree."

"Sucking away some luck has indeed affected him somewhat, but it's not to the point of bad luck." Queen Mother Xi explained: "Besides, I'm not without compensation."

Yang Jinhua still shook her head.

In her opinion, how important is the luck of her own officials to ward off evil spirits, so how can she give it to others at will.

Lu Sen waved his hand at Yang Jinhua, then looked at Queen Mother Xi: "How much is your empress willing to pay?"

"what do you want?"

Lu Sen thought for a while, then shook his head: "I have nothing to ask for."

The Queen Mother of the West kept staring into Lu Sen's eyes, and then she knew that the other party was telling the truth.

"That's a bit troublesome." The Queen Mother of the West stared at him: "I am bound to get luck, it's a matter of Kunlun Mountain's survival, if I can't get it through trading, then there is only one word 'grab'."

Queen Mother Xi's expression gradually turned cold.

When the others looked at her, they immediately felt a strong sense of unease, as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

Yang Jinhua, Zhao Bilian, and Pang Meier have already started to integrate with the spirit beast and put on armor.

Jingwei had a keen sense, and immediately hid aside, trembling.

"You can't grab it." Lu Sen suddenly chuckled: "Since I have great luck, it will definitely protect me. If I don't agree, there is probably no way for the empress to suck my luck away. Even you I didn’t even dare to get close to that bag... that’s the fat black man you’re talking about.”

"You think I can't do it?"

Lu Sen nodded firmly: "Otherwise you will continue to hide in the city of Hangzhou, continue to absorb the leaked spiritual power, and wait until your strength recovers enough to kill me before you make a move. That way the hibiscus tree belongs to you. The luck is yours too."

After staring at Lu Sen with a sneer, the Queen Mother of the West suddenly calmed down and smiled, "Smart, you guessed really well."

As soon as these words came out, Yang Jinhua and the others immediately let out a sigh of relief, they really didn't want to have a conflict with Queen Mother Xi.

"But I really want it, you have a way." Queen Mother Xi asked lightly.

Although the tone was flat, Lu Sen could still hear a kind of 'toughness' from it.

This is an attitude. The Queen Mother of the West must seek a future for Kunlun Mountain, and Lu Sen is the only "life" that can be found now.

It is impossible to miss.

"The survival of Kunlun Mountain is not something that happens overnight." Lu Sen thought for a while, and said, "May I have some time to think about it and think about it. Maybe after a while, I will have a desire. At that time Naturally, we can discuss business with the empress.”

"That makes sense." The Queen Mother of the West nodded: "Then I will stay in Hangzhou City for now. If you have an idea, let Jingwei come to me, and she should be able to find me."

Seeing Queen Mother Xi back down, Yang Jinhua and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

"Then I'll go first." Queen Mother Xi stood up, and when she was about to leave, she suddenly said, "Can you give me some more of these flat peaches?"

"I don't have many left here, only three left." Lu Sen took out three flat peaches from the system backpack and handed them over: "But soon the flat peaches will be ripe, and after two months, I will invite you Come up the mountain to participate in the peach feast."

"No problem, I made a note of it."

Queen Mother Xi opened her mouth to show off a flat peach, and when the three peaches fell into her stomach, she could see that she had grown up a bit.

Her appearance, figure, and temperament are between that of a girl and a woman, and she looks extremely charming.

She hiccupped again, and flew away from the system gate by herself.

After the Queen Mother of the West left, Yang Jinhua immediately canceled the former's temporary access right, and then collapsed softly in Lu Sen's arms.

Lu Sen hugged her, and could find that her body was still trembling slightly.

"It scared me enough." Yang Jinhua was full of helplessness: "This time it is the Queen Mother of the West, so next time it will be the Jade Emperor or Sanqing?"

Pang Meier and Zhao Bilian were also full of worries.

Lu Sen said with a smile: "Actually, you don't have to be afraid. The current gods and monsters are all at the end of their battles. If they really fight, don't be afraid of them."

"The queen mother of Kexi can absorb the aura scattered from the hibiscus tree, and can eat peaches to grow bigger and stronger. What if one day she changes her mind..."

Lu Sen sat on a stone bench with Yang Jinhua in his arms, and held her in his arms: "The hibiscus tree doesn't emit much aura, and with the growth of its own strength, it will consume more and more aura to maintain its current strength. Many. The Queen Mother of the West can indeed attract scattered aura, but after she reaches a certain limit, she will not strengthen it any more, unless the leader of our family is willing to 'spit' out the aura of heaven and earth."

After thinking for a while, Yang Jinhua understood what Lu Sen meant.

Then he breathed a sigh of relief.

The same goes for other people.

They are really in awe of Queen Mother Xi from the bottom of their hearts.

Compared with them 'ancients', Lu Sen didn't have much respect for the Queen Mother of the West.

In contrast, he admires such human talents as Bao Zheng, Di Qing, Yue Pengju and so on.

He didn't know who had been attacking his fence before, but now that he knew it was Queen Mother Xi, he felt relieved.

Unseen enemies are the most troublesome, and now that we know the reason, things will be much easier to handle.

Just ignore it.

On the second day, Lu Sen went to the government office in Hangzhou and met Bao Zheng.

"What's Bao Fu Yin's plan going forward?"

Bao Zheng said with a smile: "Go back to the capital, donate all the gains from the voyage to the official family, and then bring your wife and children back to the hometown, and spend the rest of your life in idleness."

Lu Sen shook his head: "Not good."

"Why?" Bao Zheng was puzzled.

He and Taishi Pang co-led the summer solstice coup, and it is already a miracle in history that he can enjoy his old age in peace.

Still not satisfied, still want him to worship the official?
Impossible.

Lu Sen replied: "The governor of the Bao family dedicated his voyage income to the imperial court, but he didn't write down the voyage records. You write a biography in front of a book and publicize the anecdotes of the voyage."

Bao Zheng shook his head: "No, this is an act of deceiving the world and stealing fame."

In contrast, what he wanted more was Qing Ming.

Lu Sen waved his hand and said, "One book can save tens of thousands of sailors and families, so how can you deceive the world and steal your name?"

Bao Zheng understood what Lu Sen meant.

There seems to be no book on how to sail now.

Even if there is, it is not well-known, and no one sees it much.

Seafaring experience is passed down from generation to generation, or from master to apprentice, and the sea ships of the Song Dynasty are not far away, and each area is dangerous.

If Bao Zheng wrote a book with a clear description, then naturally the world would rush to buy it and read it, and Luoyang paper might be expensive.

Sea people know which sea route is dangerous, and know how to turn the danger into good fortune, and there are tens of thousands of people alive.

It is indeed a great act of kindness.
