I'm really not an old sword

Lin Qingsu didn't know how long it had been, so long that Fujimoto, who was so frightened and sobbing in his arms, raised his head nervously. The painting turned into a ball of light and merged into his body. At the same time, accompanied by the mechanical sound of "fusion successful", Lin Qingsu understood its use.

Similar to the King's Treasury in Gilgamesh, but that one hides treasures while this one hides ghosts.

After subduing the ghost, put it into the "Hundred Ghosts Picture" and release it to help when needed.

The more ghosts it collects, the better its quality will be. In turn, it will nourish the ghosts in the painting, repair the ghosts' injuries and enhance their strength.

Of course, its greatest use is that it can take the power and ability of the ghost in the painting for oneself, similar to the magician's spirit summoning technique, but the difference is that it does not look at the magician's ability but at the magician's own quality.

As long as there are enough ghosts in the painting and they are strong enough, more energy will be fed back to their owner.

Theoretically, if there is a Tamamonomae inside, then its owner, even an ordinary person, can have comparable strength - if the ordinary person can catch Tamamonomae and make her surrender into a painting.

Of course, there are also great restrictions.

Even if the master obtains the abilities of the ghost in the painting, it is still calculated based on the strength of the ghost itself.

In other words, if you just capture a little ghost with good abilities, the abilities will not increase with the different users, but will be calculated based on the little ghost. Therefore, if you capture a large number of little ghosts, the amplification effect of this painting will be minimal.

But he didn't have the ability to catch big ghosts, and all the dozens of ghosts in the middle-aged evil monk's painting were pitifully weak.

But even for this, this painting is a good trophy, and Lin Qingsu is satisfied.

"Looks like I got a bargain."

The 'mission' that Tamamonomae gave him only required the evil monk's head and the ancient lamp, but not the painting.

According to the information collected by Fujiwara Akiko at the Fujiwara family, this evil monk had been nurturing this ancient lamp, but there was no information about this painting at all.

Combined with this hiding method, the crudely painted "Picture of an Ancient Temple in the Mountains" outside is probably also a magic weapon with the function of concealing aura. If it is not someone who is keen on this, they will not be able to notice this painting at all, and most people who can find this painting will probably be scared silly by the ghosts under the painting.

The middle-aged evil monk probably didn't dare to expose this painting.

If the evil monk had carried this painting with him, Lin Qingsu would have suffered a great loss if he was caught off guard, but now she got an advantage.

Lin Qingsu comforted Fujimoto for a while and turned her attention back to the ancient lamp on the table.

Place your hands on it.

【Should we recapture the "Green Lantern"?】

To put a ghost into the painting, the ghost must surrender, but this lamp has not yet developed any intelligence, so it skipped this step.

Lin Qingsu naturally agreed.

The next moment, the ancient lamp on the table disappeared, and was replaced by a green ancient lamp in the "Picture of a Hundred Demons".

[The "Green Lantern" is detected to be in the development stage. Should it be nurtured?]

Lin Qingsu didn't understand why, but she nodded yes anyway.

The next moment, he sensed that the dozens of little ghosts in the "Hundred Ghosts Picture" that had been caught by the middle-aged demon monk before were all screaming and their souls were annihilated. They turned into pure energy like a stream and flowed into the ancient lamp while continuously absorbing his magic power. They stopped only after absorbing nearly half of his magic power.

In the blink of an eye, only an ancient lamp remained in the painting, and it could be renamed from "Hundred Ghosts Picture" to "Green Lantern Picture".

Lin Qingsu was slightly startled, but he didn't feel sorry for them. The middle-aged evil monk had captured a bunch of useless little ghosts, and he felt that they were both troublesome and unsightly when placed in the picture.

I just don't know how powerful this "Qingxuande" is.

After looking for a while, seeing that the cultivation had not been completed, Lin Qingsu withdrew her thoughts and looked at Fujimoto in her arms.

It took him more than an hour to get here by riding a horse, and he had just asked her for help, which had consumed a lot of her magic power. She was physically and mentally weak, but she fell asleep in his arms without knowing when.

Her fair and delicate face was tinged with light pink, making it look even more rosy, and her cherry lips were slightly parted.

Lin Qingsu suppressed the desire to touch Rourou's delicate face and grab her looming little tongue, sat down gently, put his arms around her and changed her into a comfortable position, and then waited patiently for time to pass.

The rain flowed down the depressions in the tiles, mixed with the increasingly heavy rain, and hit the grass, making a "splashing" sound.

Listening to the sound of rain and looking at the rain scene outside the courtyard, Lin Qingsu really wanted to hug the soft body in his arms and take a nap.

It would be even better if I could lean against the stove and have a dog lying in front of it.

However, there were still people outside, so Lin Qingsu could only brace herself and silently wait for outsiders to break in or for the cultivation of Qingxuandeng to be completed.

【Cultivation completed.】

The appearance of the Qingxuandeng is still an ancient green lamp, but the green light is becoming more mysterious.

"No wonder Tamamonomae wanted it."

In addition to the lamp's main function, it can capture souls and is good at soul attacks.

At the same time, it can also protect the spirit and prevent the invasion of evil spirits.

However, its current strength is too weak. The enemies Lin Qingsu faces are all big monsters. Although its attack method is very special, using it to fight is purely embarrassing for it. Given the difference in mental power between the two sides, her attack is no different from tickling, and she can easily hurt herself if she is not careful.

However, it can also nourish the mind and speed up recovery from injuries.

An ancient green lamp appeared in his right hand. With a thought, the lampshade spontaneously lit up with a bright green light without any fire.

Bathed in the green light, Lin Qingsu felt warm all over, as if she was being roasted by fire. The moisture on her body was removed, and even the cold wind whistling from the courtyard seemed to be blocked. At the same time, the recovery speed of her magic power also increased slightly.

Although the increase is small, considering its age...

The future is expected.

Lin Qingsu simply put it aside, and while she was "roasting by the fire", she hugged Fujiharako's soft body.

Looking at the rain falling in the courtyard, Lin Qingsu couldn't help but indulge in imagination. When everything is over in the future, he will buy a piece of land in the mountains, build a courtyard, and live in the mountains with them. When it rains, they will watch the rain while making tea and chatting, and enter retirement life early.

I'm a little reluctant to part with this lamp.

But it's no use being too weak now. I can just ask Tamamonomae for some benefits when the time comes. If that doesn't work, I can just go back to the modern era with Meli's support and then ask her for it back.

Just as she was thinking, Lin Qingsu heard a rustling sound and felt that her arms were heavier. She lowered her head to take a look.

But I happened to see a pair of blue eyes.

The eyes were very pure, without a trace of impurities, like a newborn baby's.

Looking down, I saw a tall body.

She was wearing a green palace dress, but the loose clothes could not hide her plump figure. As she lay on her side, her long beautiful legs were exposed, and they seemed to be wrapped in a layer of light green and slightly shiny stockings.

"Father." A clear but affectionate voice sounded.

Lin Qingsu looked up. The woman had skin whiter than snow, a fairy-like appearance, and a cool temperament, like a bright moon hanging alone in the night sky.

But on that mature and cold face there are a pair of pure and flawless eyes.

His face was reflected in the beautiful blue eyes, his eyes were a little dull, which brought a sense of dissonance to his mature appearance and figure.

"What did you call me?" Lin Qingsu looked at her strangely.

At a rough glance, she is about 1.78 meters tall. If she wears high heels, and based on the height measurement of women, she will almost catch up with him.

If they went out together without making eye contact, they would probably be mistaken for siblings.

"Father." The woman repeated, her tone still cold, but coupled with her overly pure eyes, it always gave people a silly and cute feeling.

"You are..."

Lin Qingsu was about to ask when she suddenly saw that the green lamp he had placed on the ground had disappeared.

But he still felt warm.

Looking at her beautiful blue eyes and long hair, I immediately got the answer.

"Green Lantern?"

The blue-haired woman lowered her eyebrows slightly, seemed to think for a while, and then confirmed that her father was calling her.

"Ok!"

"Why are you..." Lin Qingsu hesitated to speak.

He originally wanted to say, "How did you become like this?", but looking at Qingxuande's tall, beautiful, yet cold and pure appearance, he felt that if he said it, he would be taking advantage of her.

Really fragrant.

But you are so beautiful and so obedient and call me dad, how can I hand you over to Tamamonomae?

Lin Qingsu was in a dilemma, but Qing Xingdeng didn't have as many thoughts as him. She was not sad when she saw that her father stopped talking to her.

She rushed into Lin Qingsu's arms, pushing Fujimoto, who occupied three-quarters of his arms, aside, so that they each shared half. Then, looking at Fujimoto sleeping peacefully with her head resting on his chest, she followed suit and faced her with her head resting on his chest.

Feeling the warm embrace of his father, Qingxuandeng couldn't help but squint his eyes. Gradually, the newborn 'baby' also closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Only Lin Qingsu was left with the mentality of "taking it one step at a time" and was free from thinking.

Then he saw two completely defenseless beauties lying in his arms, one on his left and one on his right, and he fell into deep thought again.

Heavy rain, indoors, with a beautiful woman in my arms.

I've always laughed at Liuxia Hui for not being a man, being able to remain unmoved by being alone with a woman and a beautiful woman in her arms, but now...

Liuxia Hui is actually me?

Chapter 22: Fantasy, Loli in the Tavern

Kamiiwa Kotaro stared at the dilapidated temple.

An hour has passed.

Rain finally began to fall from the overcast sky, and it kept getting heavier and heavier, so much so that the rising mist blurred his vision even as a warrior with amazing eyesight.

But at least he could see the horse tied to the door and see that no one came out.

"Boss, what should I do?"

"Why hasn't the fight started inside yet?"

"Didn't he say he came here to kill the demon monk? Why hasn't he done anything yet? Could it be that it's already over? That's impossible!"

"Silence." Kamiwa Kotaro said in a deep voice, "It's only been an hour."

Yes, just one hour.

It is normal that the evil monk is very cautious and plans to wait until Lin Qingsu falls asleep at midnight and is least prepared before taking action.

On the contrary, it would be strange that they didn't take action immediately when they were so anxious.

He was still a country boy. In order to kill the tiger demon that was wreaking havoc on the village, he ate leaves, wild fruits and mosquitoes all day long in the mountains, just to observe its living habits. Three months later, he hid under the fallen leaves and ambushed the tiger for three days, and suddenly attacked and killed it with one blow when the tiger was not prepared while eating.

He also became famous for killing the tiger demon, and was valued by important figures and recruited to the capital. Until now, he has become the trusted general of His Majesty.

Now he has been appointed by His Majesty and Lord Xianguang as the leader of the "Eliminate Lin Qingsu" operation.

Patience and forbearance.

These are the greatest advantages that have brought me here, how come I have forgotten them now?

Kamiyan Kotaro sighed and gradually relaxed. He planned to wait until tomorrow when the rain stopped and in the afternoon, and if no one came out yet, he would go and take a look.

‘Boom! ’

The dazzling white light tore through the dark rainy night.

Above the temple, the pitch-black night suddenly became as bright as day, and the warriors saw a bright light before their eyes.

After his eyesight gradually recovered, Kamiiwa Kotaro wanted to take a final look at the temple to confirm, but his eyes widened in disbelief.

"Where's the horse?!"

In just a blink of an eye, the horse tied in front of the temple disappeared.

Kamiwa Kotaro couldn't help but doubt his memory. He rubbed his eyes and saw that the horse had really disappeared. He turned around and questioned his men: "Did you see when the horse disappeared?"

"Horse? Isn't the horse always..."

The subordinate's puzzled tone came to an abrupt end as he looked up.

Kamiiwa Kotaro's expression changed completely.

No wonder he always felt so anxious, his feeling was right!

"Ikki, Sosora, you go and say that you are guards escorting a noble, and when you see it suddenly rains, you are acting as scouts..." Kamiwa Kotaro immediately gave the order.

"Yes!"

Kamiwa Kotaro saw his two samurai break through the rain, walk to the front of the temple, wait at the door for a while, and then enter the temple.

"Damn, it's raining too hard and the distance is too far." Kamiwa Kotaro cursed angrily.

There was no way to communicate with them at all, and I didn't even know whether they were welcomed in or walked in on their own.
