Chapter 43 Onimaru Mountain

The next morning, Yan Xu brought people and gifts to Guiwan Mountain.

A mountain shrine has been built at the foot of the mountain, but it is a bit crude. It consists of a wooden shed and wooden boards set up in front of a big tree hole, but it is enough to block wind and rain and avoid stepping on mud.

However, two decent houses were built nearby. Judging from the solid materials used, they were prepared for the red ghosts.

It was not known whether the red ghost knew he was coming or smelled the fragrance, but he walked out of the house with his back bent, wearing clean animal skins.

Because there were no suitable shoes, she was barefoot. Her feet were not beautiful, but her feet were not ugly. Yan Xu's eyes moved upwards. Between the propped-up animal skin skirt and the overwhelmed animal skin bust were eight flat and firm abdominal muscles, each of which was clearly defined, making him envious.

"Master." No one knew what Sen Yu had taught him, but the stupid-looking Red Ghost startled Yan Xu when he spoke. However, he still nodded shamelessly. After all, these two words, when called by a man to a woman, by a pretty one to an ugly one, had a different meaning, not to mention that this one was a woman outside of human form, which gave him extra points.

"Let's eat later. I have something for you." Yan Xu, feeling somewhat satisfied, waved his hand, and the peasant woman began to cook. Hong Gui immediately ignored him as her master, and followed with shining eyes to watch. Obviously, compared to him, the food was more attractive, not to mention that she hadn't figured out what her master meant.

According to Sen Yu, although the red ghost is an adult, she is only equivalent to a human age of thirteen or fourteen. Even if she is two meters tall and can knock a heavyweight champion flat with one punch, it cannot change this fact. So her personality is very simple. Now she only knows that according to the ghost tradition, Yan Xu is her man.

In the eyes of the Red Ghost, although her man is short and thin, he can always bring delicious food. He does not need to hunt on weekdays, and his servants will bring him enough food. Therefore, in the Red Ghost's heart, he is a capable man, so he is very obedient.

Although ghosts have bad tempers, they are very simple, especially female ghosts, who often depend on males like lionesses.

In addition to bringing more brown rice and pickles, Yan Xu also brought some bacon, sausages, eight pork elbows, and four jars of rice wine.

The grain was stored in a room used as a kitchen, where a stove was built and a warehouse was separated to store a lot of grain. Every day the peasant woman would prepare enough food for the red ghosts to eat their fill.

Bacon and sausages can be stored and hung up to be eaten slowly, but pork elbows cannot. Even though the weather is getting cooler now, they cannot be kept for long. So I steamed four of them at once and served them with hot rice. The taste was really overbearing.

The red ghost with shining eyes was not afraid of the heat. He grabbed the big pork elbow just out of the pot and took a big bite. His mouth was full of oil. He also ate the freshly made rice balls in one bite and drank rice wine in big bowls. Yan Xu felt hungry just seeing this.

According to Yan Xu's eating habits, in addition to the steamed pork elbow, stir-fried vegetables, there was also a plate of smashed cucumber and peanuts, a total of four dishes. No rice balls were served, but rice was served. Watching the red ghost eating heartily, his appetite unconsciously increased and he almost ate too much.

After eating and drinking, Yan Xu took out the gifts he brought. In addition to a few sets of clothes, the main focus was armor and weapons.

The clothing styles are very simple. In addition to bathrobe-style casual clothes, there are also loose short-sleeved tops and shorts with elastic bands, which are very easy to put on and take off. There is no underwear.

It's not that he is shy, but there is no such exaggerated model. If he dares to go, the other party will definitely think that he is looking for trouble.

As for weapons and armor, the armor is a military coat similar to Yan Xu's, and the weapon is a four-foot-long steel shaft. No one knows where Master Jiang got it from. There is a bulge as big as a melon on the top and it weighs more than 30 kilograms. Only non-human creatures like ghosts can swing it with one hand.

Don't be fooled by the fact that the red ghost is in human form and looks like a female bodybuilder who has done excessive fitness. In fact, it is completely different. The opponent's skeleton is much thicker than that of humans and can withstand greater force. Combined with the developed muscles that can defeat wild beasts, fighting with a bear is no joke.

The Japanese swordsman was able to kill the ghosts, mainly relying on his sharp sword and agility to bully the unarmed and slightly clumsy ghosts. If the ghosts were armed as heavy infantry, or both sides were unarmed, the swordsman would have to kneel. These things were carefully prepared, but Yan Xu was so good to the red ghost, it was definitely not because of love.

To put it bluntly, he just wanted a bodyguard, and the talented and simple-minded Red Ghost was undoubtedly the best choice.

As for whether it would be a disaster, Yan Xu was not without worries. He was very clear that except for the people recruited by the system, any native had the possibility of betrayal, the only difference was the probability.

Undoubtedly, the red ghost, who does not have the complicated thoughts of humans and is easily satisfied, better meets Yan Xu's requirements, so weapons and armor were specially prepared for her.

The well-fed red ghost was very happy after putting on his armor, which was much more useful than animal skins and wooden sticks. Therefore, he always followed Yan Xu. Although he did not show much attachment, his eyes always stayed on him. When he saw that he was going up the mountain, he walked in front to lead the way.

Being very familiar with the red ghosts on the mountain, Sen Yu just took out the map and pointed to the place, and she led the way along the trampled path, completely ignoring the weeds and bushes on both sides.

The ghost's skin is very tough, and now that he is wearing armor, he can ignore all these things.

Some of these paths are animal paths, and some are made by Red Ghost herself. Even though she has no worries about food and clothing now, Red Ghost still maintains the habit of patrolling Guiwan Mountain every day, because this is her territory, so with her leading the way, she is not afraid of getting lost.

The shape of Mount Onimaru is a bit special. There is a high peak in the middle, which is very steep and difficult to climb. However, there is a gentle hill on each side of the mountainside, which looks like a man from a distance. Especially there is a fountain on the top of the middle peak, and the waterfall formed by it flows down, which makes it look even more like a man.

Originally Yan Xu was planning to build a Guandi Temple on the mountain, but now it seems that it would be a bit disrespectful to give up.

Following the narrow mountain road between two hills, we came to the mountainside. The terrain on both sides is relatively flat, and buildings can be built after a little leveling. It can accommodate about three to five hundred people, and there is no shortage of water. The small waterfall on the top of the mountain is enough to provide drinking water for thousands of people. Moreover, because there is only a small path between the two hills to go up the mountain, as long as a pass is built, one man can block ten thousand men.

Feeling satisfied, Yan Xu began to use the system's built-in building function, and a virtual light screen suddenly appeared in front of him that only he could see.

The areas covered by the light curtain can be used for construction, but some areas can be built directly, while others need to be filled and leveled, or even supported by wooden stakes. The specific method depends on what kind of building is being built.

The problem now is that the system has not been upgraded and can only build village-level buildings, that is, wooden-walled houses, which does not meet Yan Xu's requirements.

The golden finger bestowed upon Yan Xu by the Bronze Gate can be upgraded. The only difference lies in how many luck points he is willing to invest.

It is easy to obtain luck points, but it is also difficult.

Recruiting subordinates, building territories, launching wars, and even engaging in trade, as long as he can have an impact on the world, he will get more or less luck points.

Yan Xu had accumulated more than 800 luck points before, most of which came from the war between the Shimazu family and the Sagara family. If it weren't for the weapons he sold, the casualties on both sides would definitely not have been so serious, and they would not have declined and attracted the attention of the Fukushima family.
