The mage in the late Qing Dynasty

Zhao Chuanxin was not only not angry, but also wanted to laugh for no reason.

Huang Shifu's tricks are like children playing house. When they can't do anything to you, they go out and say bad things about you.

Let's get a little naughty again.

Just asking are you afraid?

Others may be afraid because of his reputation, but it doesn't matter to Zhao Chuanxin.

If it's pricked, it's scratched.

Zhang Shouzeng thought that Zhao Chuanxin was going to be furious, so he might go to Huang Shifu with a knife and maybe kill him.

But he found that Zhao Chuanxin looked strange.

"I know, if he can lose a piece of my flesh, then why not let him win?"

"this……"

He never expected that Zhao Chuanxin would have such a calm reaction.

As expected, he is the moody Magistrate Zhao, and he lives up to his reputation.

Zhao Chuanxin raised his legs and left: "Nothing to do, I'm going to make tofu soup, let's get started."

Zhang Shouzeng was pulled to the side with a confused look on his face, and watched as Zhao Chuanxin took out an iron stove and a large pot, and the tofu was cut open in the palm of his hand.

The kitchen knife was strange. Every time it was cut, the thin tofu slices were bounced away. Zhao Chuanxin moved the knife like flying and was not afraid of cutting his hand. After cutting them all into slices, he squeezed them slightly with his palm, and the slippery tofu was synthesized again. Block-shaped, this hand is magical, and then cut vertically, the filaments bounce directly into the pot.

This is the first time I’ve seen someone make Wensi Tofu Soup like this...

In fact, Zhao Chuanxin doesn't know how to make Wensi tofu at all, simply because the lumpy tofu soup is difficult to separate. Some people don't have tofu when it's served, and the clear soup is watery; some people just have dry food and no water at all...

While making soup, a group of snot-nosed kids came running over: "Master Magistrate, can the stones I picked up be exchanged for copper plates?"

As he spoke, he held up a piece of mottled agate to show Zhao Chuanxin.

The copper plate is the Guangxu Yuanbao or the Qing Dynasty copper coin. It was a copper coin that was first imitated from Hong Kong Island's copper coins in 1900. One copper plate can be used as ten coins, which is the original square hole coin.

A few days ago, a child was playing with a stone. Zhao Chuanxin saw the unique scenery on the agate, with light blue in the middle, dark brown below, red like sunset on the top, and a leather shell that wrapped these "scenery".

He immediately took out 20 copper plates and exchanged the agate for it.

Good guy, it’s a full 20 copper coins. I picked up a broken stone by the river and exchanged it with the prefect for 20 copper coins. It’s enough to buy a lot of snacks.

As if the two channels of Ren and Du had been opened, they often went to the river to pick up stones and offer them as treasures.

When Zhao Chuanxin saw that they had gathered a basket of stones, so that they could not work in vain, he made an iron ring for one of them.

As a result, they went to pick it up again, and this time Zhao Chuanxin picked out another agate with a forest scene, and made ice cream for them again.

Originally these were Yao Bing's exclusive toys, but now everyone has one.

Zhao Chuanxin took a look and said: "No, don't pick it up casually in the future. You have to see whether the stone is beautiful and whether it corresponds to flowers, birds, fish, insects, and mountains and rivers. If you can see it, it is a good stone. I will exchange it with money. Otherwise Just break the stones and throw them over there at the school. When the school is built, I will pave a path for you with agate stones."

When these children heard it, it was not bad.

They encouraged Yao Bing to take the lead and push the hoop to pick up stones by the river, as if pushing the hoop and riding a car could free up the legs and not get tired.

Yao Bing looked at the tofu soup eagerly: "I want to finish the soup before going."

Shredded tofu, sprinkle with some chopped green onion, it looks delicious.

When the soup was ready, Zhao Chuanxin gave each child a bowl and asked them to call the workers over to drink the soup.

This is a benefit given by Lubin Mansion.

Otherwise, if you bring your own dry food and dried meat for meals, it will choke your throat.

Why bother shredding? Without him, save the tofu...

At sunset, Zhao Chuanxin spoke to the people in the government office and hurried out.

Some days he didn't even sleep in Lubin Mansion.

He had a secret resting place. He walked around Manzhouli and walked on the Misty Traveler for about a quarter of an hour. He waded through a wetland by the Ergun River. There was a small hill and dense forest on the river bank. Zhao Chuanxin A hut was built here.

Equivalent to a studio, solid wood floor, a bed, a bookcase against the wall, a desk with a window, a rocking chair, a fireplace, an iron clothes rack, and that's it.

The cabin is built of rock, with half of one wall made of floor-to-ceiling fused quartz glass, which is embedded directly into the stone wall.

All the facilities in the house were built by Zhao Chuanxin himself, just like the earliest small house in Lugang Town.

This mini apartment is located halfway up a hill, often shrouded in mist from the Ergun River.

Zhao Chuanxin unlocked the door with a key, entered the door, threw a few pieces of firewood into the fireplace in a familiar manner, and lit it with the Old God's crucible brand. The fire started to "boom", which was better than pouring oil.

There was steam steaming immediately.

Zhao Chuanxin took off his coat, put on cotton slippers, lay on the recliner and looked at the quiet river view outside the window, and took out the "Old God Codex" comfortably.

Only here could he dare to immerse himself without any precautions, no one would disturb him, and there would be no danger.

[The female monk hasn’t left yet, so she also spent money to hire local sand people as guides. 】

[This woman accumulated astonishing wealth while running the church. She didn’t know where to hide it so it wasn’t swept away by the tsunami. She exchanged it for portable gems when she left. 】

[After arriving in the Cursed Desert, our money was tight, but she spent money lavishly. 】

[We boarded the giant beetle, and the female monk also boarded the giant beetle. 】

[As I was getting ready to set off, I suddenly saw billowing dust in the distance. 】

[We were puzzled by this strange phenomenon, but the faces of the sand people suddenly changed: No, the sand thieves are attacking. 】

[After speaking, he glared at the female monk with fierce eyes and said: It's you, you attracted the sand bandits. 】

[Because yesterday we and the sand people all saw the traces of embarrassment on the female monk’s body after the battle. 】

[The female monk shook her head: I didn’t cause it. 】

[The sand people yelled and cursed: Damn the Red Island people, they are full of lies, who else could it be if it wasn’t you? 】

[The female monk ignored him and looked at the smoke in the distance. 】

[The Sand People alert the other Sand People of their tribe. 】

[A group of sand people went out with various weapons, ready for battle. 】

[The sand bandits are fierce and cruel, and the sand people are equally brave. The battle between them and the sand bandits has been going on for thousands of years. 】

[When the dust got closer, I saw that there was a huge beetle with a long body. It had two thin translucent wings more than ten meters long on both sides. However, it could not fly. Instead, it ran close to the ground at an astonishing speed. . 】

[The craftsman also saw it clearly and explained to me: This is the desert black dragon, a rare creature. It can spit dragon's breath from its mouth, which can burn and corrode living creatures. The dragon's breath is like water and steam, and can be sprayed up to dozens of meters away. Its wings are not used for flying. They are like sails. They use the wind in the desert to reduce their own weight and can run like flying. The desert black dragon is the sand pirate's favorite mount. It usually has to be tamed from an early age, which is extremely difficult. Only the most powerful sand pirates have desert black dragons, not even the desert emperor has one. 】

Dragon's Breath between gaseous and liquid state?

[I can already feel the restlessness of the giant beetle under me. It is a vegetarian, but the desert black dragon is not a vegetarian at first glance...]

Zhao Chuanxin came to his hut out of concern for his own safety, but also because he would not dare to open a holy light channel to enter the "Old God Code" elsewhere.

Such as now.

He couldn't miss this wonderful scene.

Open the Holy Light Channel and enter it...

Zhao Chuanxin saw the astonishing desert black dragon in the sand, with its dark body, translucent long wings, sharp and pointed jaws, and its six legs so fast that only the afterimage could be seen.

Everyone else was frightened, only Zhao Chuanxin observed carefully.

He discovered one thing. The Desert Black Dragon was really fast, even as fast as the speed he could withstand the misty journey.

However, every time the Desert Black Dragon runs for a period of time, it will stop and slide on the sand dunes to slow down, and then shake its head from side to side, as if observing.

He asked the craftsman: "Why does the desert black dragon run and stop?"

The craftsman was confused: "I don't know."

He is knowledgeable, but he is knowledgeable but not expert, otherwise he would not be able to reach the peak of the first-level craftsman without being able to break through.

Zhao Chuanxin also discovered that the old, weak, sick and disabled among the sand people were hiding in the round tower, and only strong men and women would stand guard outside.

Zhao Chuanxin said to his brothers, sisters, elf scouts and craftsmen: "You should be careful. It's best to hide behind the round tower. Something like dragon's breath is a bit evil just listening to it."

The elf scout asked: "What about you?"

Zhao Chuanxin has already sent the Misty Traveler and other equipment over: "Don't worry about me, I'm just as fast as it. I guess it stopped because it was running too fast and couldn't see the road, but I don't have that worry."

After hearing this, a few people realized that what they said made sense, and together with the old, weak, sick and disabled, they stayed away from the spotlight for the time being.

When the desert black dragon came closer, Zhao Chuanxin saw eight people on its back who were also tightly wrapped in black robes.

Sand people are accustomed to wearing white robes and white turbans, while sand bandits like to wear black robes and black turbans.

Black absorbs heat, but it can also provide a larger black shadow, and the heat absorption can speed up the air convection under the black robe, taking away part of the body heat.

After approaching, the desert black dragon stopped and the sand bandit behind him shouted: "Hand over the gems, giant beetles, gold coins and slime, or else we will massacre your tribe."

Damn, for a tribe, this is the most valuable thing, and they want it all.

Is that okay?

Sure enough, the elder of the Sand People tribe held a flying spear and said: "Our Salamander tribe has defeated sand thieves twenty-seven times in ten years. I advise you to leave quickly and don't make any mistakes."

Let’s calm down the situation first, regardless of whether it’s bragging or not.

Zhao Chuanxin looked at their flying spears. The head was not metal, but a small triangular head that was obviously that of some kind of animal. He couldn't help but doubt its lethality. This kind of weapon might also reduce the threat to the elders.

The sand pirate was impatient: "No matter who the salamander tribe is, they will not be immune to my black dragon's breath. I'll give you ten breaths to think about it. If you don't hand over the items before the time is up, I will kill you without mercy!"

At this time, Shang Ling said in Zhao Chuanxin's ear: "The black dragon's eyes seem to be aware of my existence. As long as it doesn't run away, it seems to be able to see through everything. The dragon's breath is also a threat to me. I need to fly high." You can only rely on yourself to avoid some situations."

Zhao Chuanxin nodded.

Elder Shamin raised his right hand.

All the sand people raised their flying spears and bone shields.

The elder of the sand people waved his hand.

All flying spear throws.

The moment the desert black dragon opened its mouth, Zhao Chuanxin stepped on the Misty Traveler and drifted and accelerated, running sideways for dozens of meters.

The dragon's breath collided with many flying spears, bursting into flames in the air, and the sound of explosions was heard.

Zhao Chuanxin watched from a distance, the scene was very spectacular.

Only then did he realize that the triangular heads of the unknown creatures flying spears could explode with considerable power.

But I saw the sand people's bone shields crackling. They were bone fragments produced by the explosion of the triangular head after the high-altitude explosion.

What followed was the dragon's breath, and the bone shield began to corrode. The unprotected body parts of the sand people first corroded by their clothes, and then their skin fester, and they let out shrill screams.

The black dragon suddenly folded its wings and ran on only four legs. The speed was not slow, but it was not as fast as Zhao Chuanxin's Misty Traveler.

The sand thief behind the desert black dragon shook off a long chain with shining metallic luster, and threw it out at the speed of the desert black dragon's running.

The bone shield may be able to block weapons that go straight, and it can block part of the dragon's breath, but it cannot block long chains that "turn".

"ah……"

The long chain is so sharp that it can tear open a person's skin and flesh when it touches it, and can cut to the point where bones are exposed.

The elder of the sand people shouted: "It's the backbone of the flying fish. Be careful. Form a team of three, connect from end to end, pay attention to protection...Counterattack, counterattack, counterattack..."

Zhao Chuanxin was sweating coldly when he saw the exploding flying spears, flying fish spines, black dragon breath, and the cursed desert. It was indeed dangerous, and there were endless tricks that were difficult to guard against.

If he had been aggressive, he might have been hit.

Boom, boom, boom...

At this time, the sand people who were ambushing on the round tower suddenly threw flying spears for a sneak attack, and exploded on the desert black dragon.

Two sand thieves were accidentally hit by bone fragments and fell to the ground.

Immediately, the sand people stepped forward and stabbed him to death with a spear.

The desert black dragon was hurt by the explosion. It opened its sharp jaws and shook its head to spit out a mouthful of dragon breath.

The elder of the sand people raised his shield to block it, but the flying dragon's breath still affected his left eye, which immediately festered and became blind.

This man was also a ruthless man. He actually didn't say a word in such pain. He held up a shield in one hand and a spear in the other, instead of retreating, he rushed towards the desert black dragon.

The desert black dragon raised its leg and kicked him away. The elder of the sand people was in the air, but he still threw the flying spear in his hand.

boom……

The Desert Black Dragon had a leg blown off.

This angered it, and it rushed around like crazy. The sand people it hit immediately flew up.

At this time, Zhao Chuanxin had sneaked around, Desert Root and Smart Gyroscope jumped up at the same time, with a loaded God of War M1907 in each hand and fired at the back of the black dragon.

The black dragon is covered in dark armor and can prevent bullets, but the sand bandit behind it cannot.

The red blood flowed on the back of the black dragon in the desert, and two shuttles of bullets beat them into a sieve.

The desert black dragon, which lost control of its master, completely went berserk and turned to look at Zhao Chuanxin fiercely.

Zhao Chuanxin blanched me silently, then turned around and ran away.

Sure enough, he opened his mouth and breathed out dragon breath.

But Zhao Chuanxin dodges faster, tens of meters in an instant, turns flexibly, and avoids in time.

Boom, boom, boom...

Seeing that the sand bandits were wiped out by Zhao Chuanxin alone, the morale of the sand people was greatly boosted.

The desert black dragon was attracted by Zhao Chuanxin again, and the others threw flying spears.

The fire was dazzling, and countless flying spears exploded. The black armor of the desert black dragon was tough, but its six legs could not withstand the bombardment and were all broken off.

The elder of the sand people was burned and corroded, blinded one eye, and was kicked away, but he stood up again, carrying a flying spear, climbed up behind the desert black dragon with its broken legs lying on the ground, ran from the back to the front, and jumped He stood up and pierced the flying spear into the black dragon's eye.

boom……

The elder Sandman himself was pushed backwards by the blast wave and slid on the sand for several meters before stopping.

The desert black dragon was completely motionless.

Only then did Zhao Chuanxin dare to approach, carefully avoiding the place where the dragon's breath was sprayed, fearing that it would burn the desert roots on the soles of his feet.

The elder Sandman got up again.

Really, wherever you fall, you get up again.

Zhao Chuanxin admired Sha Min's strong vitality and fell into disbelief.

Elder Sandman asked others to dig out his blind eye, which was still corroding inside, without saying a word the whole time.

After picking out the corroded flesh and blood, he stepped forward with a bloody hole and said to Zhao Chuanxin: "Thank you, the fearless pioneer from Middle-earth, for gaining the friendship of our Salamander tribe."

Zhao Chuanxin looked at his bleeding hole and smiled dryly: "I will cherish this friendship."

This should not be the powerful vitality and willpower that carbon-based organisms can possess.

The elder of the Sand People nodded: "I didn't expect that the sand pirates who attacked this time actually raised a black dragon. The last time I met a sand pirate with a black dragon was when I was a child. My father, who was also the previous elder of the Salamander Tribe, was killed by the dragon. Xi burned one of his legs and survived, and now I am only blind in one eye, so I am more brave than my father."

Zhao Chuanxin: "..."

Shouldn't you go to heal at this time? Show off for what?

Not only did he not go to heal his wounds, he also went back to count the casualties and losses of the tribal sand people.

I'm afraid I won't be able to leave today.

Zhao Chuanxin saw the female monk who was watching the whole show not far away, staring at him intently, so he bared his teeth and asked: "I advise you to stop worrying about it as soon as possible, I am a man you can never get. "

Female monk: "..."

Very good at breaking defense.

At this time, some sand people came towards the female monk.

The female monk suddenly got on the back of a giant beetle and urged the giant beetle to run away.

The sand people thought she was the culprit of the attack by the sand thieves. They let out strange screams and chased her on giant beetles.

Zhao Chuanxin hesitated for a moment.

However, when the time came, he exited the state.

[The elders of the sand people dug up the black dragon core of the desert black dragon and handed it to me along with the mouthparts that housed the black dragon core, the flying fish spine and the cut-off translucent wings of the black dragon. 】

[Elder Shamin said: If you know second-level craftsmen, you can ask them to create weapons that inspire dragon breath. The flying fish spine captured from the Sand Pirates will also be given to you. Under the sand of the Cursed Desert, there lives a kind of flying fish that can glide. They gather in groups, holding each other head to tail. Their backbones protrude and their bodies are extremely sharp, and they can surround and cut prey. When encountering them, people can only run, but they are not as fast as gliding. Unless they have the armor of a giant beetle, they will inevitably die. A school of flying fish that must be connected head to tail encounters an accident and suddenly all dies, so that their flesh and blood can be peeled off and their connected spines can be obtained, which is very rare. As for the black dragon wings, you can keep them as souvenirs. 】

Zhao Chuanxin was moved in his heart and wrote:

[I asked: Can you give me some of those animal triangular heads that fly with spears? 】

After so much effort, isn't it appropriate to repay a favor?

[The elders of the Sand People readily agreed: I can give it to you, but please understand that we cannot tell you how to make the flying spear. That is the secret of our Salamander tribe. To tell you the truth, this is actually the skull of a salamander. The salamander is a creature with the same violent temper as us sand people. As long as it is hurt, it will explode itself and die with the enemy. No one except us, the Salamander Tribe, knows the secret of catching and making flying spears. 】

However, Zhao Chuanxin probably guessed how they obtained the salamander's head.

But he didn't say.

hehe.

[Elder Shamin promised to send me off tomorrow. 】

Zhao Chuanxin transferred the flying fish spine, a pile of triangular skulls and equipment, and closed the "Old God Code".

The backbone of the flying fish has a metallic luster and a handle made by a sand pirate.

The backbone connects the flying fish's head and tail, and the back head bites the front tail. I don't know how this kind of fish that grows in the sand evolved, but they are interlocked and stuck tightly.

The total length of the backbone of the flying fish is four meters, and it can only swing in two directions. When swinging to the right, the right side will get stuck. That should be the exposed backbone part of the flying fish, forming a sharp blade. Although it can be bent, it is at most It can only bend in an arc, like a four-meter-long scimitar.

Swing it to the left, and the ring at the end of the spine will be jagged with sharp saw teeth, like a four-meter-long saw.

Zhao Chuanxin pushed open the door and stood on the rock platform built outside to swing the flying fish's spine.

"hiss……"

This thing was too difficult to operate, so he swung it around and managed to avoid cutting himself when it flew back.

When the whip hits him, he will get a red mark at most.

But the backbone of the flying fish will be injured if it touches it, and the skin will be ripped open if it touches it. The skin will be cut open with a slight touch.

When retracting the backbone of the flying fish, Zhao Chuanxin had to carefully bend it to the left and accidentally cut his finger. However, there was a hemostatic membrane in his body, and the blood stopped just as it flowed.

After everything is put away, there is a switch on the handle that is connected to the meridian in the middle of the spine. If you turn it to the left, it cannot be shaken off. Turn it to the right and it will spread out easily.

Zhao Chuanxin said in his heart: Feiyu's spine is indeed sharp, but who would dare to use it without practicing for ten or eight years?

Suddenly, he saw the wooden barrel next to him, which contained water he drew from the Ergun River.

Shaking the backbone of the flying fish, a line of water gushes out of the bucket, and the Lord of Run's greetings is used to control the water line to wrap it up.

He flicked it lightly, and the flying fish's spine whipped towards a branch that was protruding over.

laugh……

The branch fell easily, and when it flew back in a spin, the water line wrapped around the flying fish's spine and lifted it up. The force of the spin was still there, but it was lifted to the top of the head. It spun around lightly and landed on Zhao Chuanxin. side.

The tension of water is a very magical force. If you put your palm gently, you can easily submerge into the water. I slapped hard and my palms hurt.

With Lord Run's greetings, not only can the water flow be used flexibly, but the density can also be increased.

When using the Flying Fish Spine Whip, you only need to apply water flow to keep yourself safe.

He cracked the whip with great joy and became more and more skilled. To the left, you can wrap up a section of a branch. When you pull it back, the sharp saw teeth will break the branch. To the right, it turns into a four-meter-long slender scimitar that can break hair by blowing it.

Wrapped by the current, the flying fish's backbone whip is easily folded and retracted.

Played for a while...

Zhao Chuanxin went back to the house, first put on his armor for protection, took out a heavy arrow that he had made after arriving at Lu Bin's house, dismantled the arrowhead, carefully melted the molten iron, and then quickly absorbed the heat after setting it, and stuck the salamander's triangular skull On the arrow shaft.

Fortunately, the arrow shaft did not ignite and the salamander's triangular skull did not explode...

I forgot to update it, hurry up.

Some people ask for monthly tickets to be updated - they don’t dare to ask for tickets, I really don’t dare.

If you ask, you must repay your wish.
