The mage in the late Qing Dynasty

What is lost is gained in the east!

Zhao Chuanxin never expected that his selfless act would be rewarded.

His spider legs are gone!

But there was a hexagonal, palm-sized round block on the desk, and he put the round block on his chest.

The round block spread out quickly, covering the whole body in an instant.

He seemed to be wrapped in a light blue film.

The blue armor is the treasure of the whale people. The whale people need to breathe, so they developed this underwater armor that can resist the pressure of sea water, can breathe underwater, and can also assist swimming.

Combined with the azure crystal reactor presented by Octopus Man, the azure armor is not just an auxiliary, it can run fully automatically.

The ghost armor on his body sensed the energy source and instinctively spread to his chest to absorb energy.

On the arm, the star and moon display: After obtaining new energy, I can combine the ghost armor with the azure armor. Have you decided to do this?

Zhao Chuanxin said: If you think it's suitable, just combine them!

The two layers of armor are close, compound, and gradually merge into one.

Azure armor is made from some characteristics of the whale-man bionic octopus-man. They have a mantle and a funnel nozzle that absorbs water and sprays it. The principle is the same as that of a rocket. The whaleman makes the blue armor shrink and spray more frequently, and the force of each force becomes smaller, thus achieving stable and high-speed progress underwater.

The raw materials are also obtained from biological sources!

Xingyue: The combination is successful. After the fusion, the ghost armor is the main body and the blue armor is the possession. It increases underwater explosive power and land sensing ability. It can scan all creatures that can transmit biochemical signals within one kilometer. Azure crystal reactor speeds up the charging speed of ghost armor and enhances battery life!

…

He took off the demon-suppressing cloth that was folded into a triangle and hung around his neck. This was the amulet given to Zhao Chuanxin by the little girl Jiang Mingxin. She used her pocket money to buy the amulet. The old Taoist priest had already been beaten up by Shuangxi, but he was not driven away.

Taking off the amulet, Zhao Chuanxin took off his clothes, patted the reactor on his chest, and the blue ghost armor covered him.

Plop, jumped into the river.

On this sunny day, the slow-flowing river water near the shore is warm.

But Zhao Chuanxin couldn't feel it because his body wasn't wet at all.

The blue ghost armor protected him very well, and it was filled with air.

He plunged into the water and dived in a butterfly stroke. The water entered from behind, the blue ghost armor expanded, and the water spurted out from under him.

With just one movement, the person fled more than ten meters away.

Looking out from within the cover of the Azure Ghost Armor is no different from looking at the aquatic world through the glass in an aquarium. The only drawback is that the river water is too turbid.

The words Xingyue appeared on the transparent cover in front of me: I am adapting to your swimming habit, swim as long as possible.

Zhao Chuanxin has been afraid of deep water since he was a child, especially in the water where he can't see the bottom of his feet. He always feels that there are unknown creatures and unknown forces that can drag him into the abyss at any time.

So he doesn't like the sea very much, let alone swim.

The stars and the moon were like roundworms in his stomach, and another perceived biological map appeared on the transparent mask in front of his eyes.

There are densely packed small spots of light all around. Those should be microorganisms in the water. The fish-shaped ones are naturally fish, and the twisted ones like worms should be leeches.

In this way, although he still couldn't see clearly the underwater world one meter away in front of him, he could at least sense what creatures were around him, and he would never have to worry about being dragged down by water ghosts or water monkeys.

On a whim, he saw the shape of a bird on the river. He swam over and suddenly emerged from the water, catching it in his hands.

The beautiful male mandarin duck had no time to panic and had already fallen into the clutches of the devil.

Zhao Chuanxin looked at it with big eyes and small eyes for a moment before letting it go.

The mandarin ducks flapped their wings and fled in panic, leaving a series of shallow lines on the river surface.

He didn't like the turbid environment under the river, but Zhao Chuanxin was very satisfied with the speed of the Azure Ghost Armor.

It may not be as fast as the sailfish, the fastest creature in the ocean, but it is still capable of competing with speedboats.

Therefore, when he saw a plump turtle swimming near the bottom of the river, Zhao Chuanxin was unwilling to let go of the delicious fish swimming in front of him.

The aohua fish probably didn't expect that it could not escape hunting due to its speed in the water, but was caught alive and flopped hard.

Zhao Chuanxin held it up like a torpedo and rushed to the shore. He jumped up from the river and splashed huge water.

The noise he made frightened Edward Chavan, who was preparing to take pictures of the river scene on the bank.

I had already set up my camera and squinted my eyes when I heard a crash and a figure jumped out from the river.

He backed away in horror and sat down on the sand.

Zhao Chuanxin was still in the air, so he put away the blue ghost armor in time.

He landed on the shore unscathed, with his fingers still picking at the gills of a fish. All she had to take off was a pair of boxer briefs, and her fair and clean body, which had always been kept indoors, was quite dazzling in the sunlight.

What are you looking at? Have you never seen Langli Baitiao?

I thought this foreigner couldn't speak Chinese.

Generally speaking, no foreigners come to such a remote place as Lugang Town.

Edward Chawan said in relatively fluent Chinese: You are catching fish with your bare hands? Why isn't your hair wet? Isn't Langli Baitiao the hero in Water Margin?

Without answering his first two questions, Zhao Chuanxin said: The stories in Water Margin are fake, but I am real. What are you doing here?

Edouard Chavan is a Frenchman who has been studying Sinology since his early twenties. He came to China in 1889 and climbed Mount Tai twice. Later, he returned to France to popularize Sinology and taught Chinese and Manchu language and literature at the Collège de France.

I came to North China and Northeast China for inspection. Oh, my name is Emmanuel-Edouard Chavan.

Oh, my name is Langli Baitiao.

Edward Chavan: ...

Zhao Chuanxin looked at him suspiciously: Edward, what are you here to inspect? Could it be that France also wants to join in and play colonial tricks in the Northeast? I can tell you accurately that on the land of Lugang Ridge, Neither Russia, Japan nor France want to get involved.

He remembered that France did not take advantage of this loophole, but could it be that Qi was an explorer invited by Japan? Little Japan should not have gotten over the fatigue period of the war yet.

In the war between Japan and Russia, they almost lost their country and exterminated their species.

Upon hearing this, Edward Chawan quickly waved his hand: No, you misunderstood. I am a pure scholar and just like Chinese culture. I will show you the photos I took.

He didn't lie.

Zhao Chuanxin saw that among the photos he took, he was not just like other foreigners who loved photography, he only liked to take pictures of the faces of Chinese people who were obviously lagging behind the world at this time, showing the poorest and ugliest side to win attention.

The photos include Xi'an Big Wild Goose Pagoda, mosque, Chenghuang Temple, Xi'an Fantai Yamen, cemetery, pagoda, etc. There are also some photos of the Northeast region, most of which are temples, mines, rivers, buildings, etc.

There are photos of the branches of the Hun River, and Zhao Chuanxin can find shadows in his memory in many places.

What he hates most is that he specializes in photographing China's backwardness and poverty, but does not exclude scholars who study Chinese culture.

Seeing Zhao Chuanxin's interested expression, Edward Shavan took out a few more books while the iron was hot: These are my works, please correct them.

Damn, you're still very polite in your speech.

Zhao Chuanxin took it and looked at it, Kant's Metaphysical Principles of Natural Science, Chinese Stone Carvings of the Two Han Dynasties, Mount Tai, Social Gods in Ancient Chinese Religion, Dandan Willik, Niya and Ander Explanation of Chinese Documents Unearthed by Yue...

Zhao Chuanxin's head hurt when he saw it, and he said with shame: As a foreigner, you know China quite well.

Edward Chavan shrugged: As I said, I am a pure scholar, and my major is Sinology.

Very good. Zhao Chuanxin patted the little old man on the shoulder: Keep up the hard work. In view of your contribution to the spread of Sinology, I invite you to my shop for a drink.
