The mage in the late Qing Dynasty

After drifting in the sea for more than a month, Zhao Chuanxin felt weak and slept very poorly.

Now I am down to earth, sleeping on a soft bed and touching my N. It is really a pleasure.

When I woke up the next morning, the sun was shining brightly and the weather was perfect.

Miao Cuihua is no longer here. During this period, Zhao Chuanxin gave up the balancing technique due to weakness and unsatisfactory movements, but Miao Cuihua kept practicing diligently.

Zhao Chuanxin called Li Zhitao, who was responsible for protecting his safety, and asked, Do you remember that bone farm? That powerful masseur?

I still remember the time I went to the boneyard to relax, and the masseuse’s techniques were quite good.

Li Zhitao's eyes lit up: Remember, head, she and I are about to get married.

...

Walter's Farke?

Li Zhitao saw what Zhao Chuanxin was thinking: Are you going to ask her to loosen your bones?

Zhao Chuanxin flatly refused: No, I just asked casually.

We’re about to get married, and you’re still telling me this?

He thought of that woman who was tall and thick, and Li Zhitao also had a neck as short as a bull's and long sideways. The offspring must be a boy, otherwise it would be useless.

Zhao Chuanxin was about to go back and refresh the Old God Code when a member of the adjudication panel came in a hurry outside and said a few words to Li Zhitao.

Li Zhitao said: Bringing people across the sea, we are not like dragons but can't cross the river.

Zhao Chuanxin faintly heard the word trouble and asked: What is it? Troublesome?

Li Zhitao shook his head: It's no big deal. Some people threatened to stop driving to Shushan. They underestimated our adjudication team.

Shushan is the name of Xuantian Sect's place on Ao Island.

The subordinate said: Boss, our people have heard that they want to find a poker expert to test the game and win so much that we can no longer play.

Li Zhitao, who was originally full of confidence, smiled when he heard this.

It's okay to ask him to fight and kill, but it's not okay to let him do those delicate tasks.

He asked distressedly: Brothers, do any of you know the gambling masters in the world?

The subordinate shook his head: I really don't know this. I've already asked around.

Li Zhitao was a little confused.

Zhao Chuanxin suggested: How about not letting him in?

Li Zhitao: ...

That's a good suggestion, don't suggest it next time.

Shushan has set many thresholds, such as exchange chip limits, and the venue itself does not lend money, nor does it allow others to lend money.

Opium was not allowed.

Only drinking and sex are allowed.

Open for business, but if you stop people again, you may not be able to continue operating.

Shushan, among the many venues on Ao Island, is quite similar to a clear bar among bars.

Other casinos all have fancy names, such as Grand Lisboa, Venetian, Galaxy, etc. Only Shushan is very fairy-like and has fairy-like rules.

It gives people the feeling of I am like this, love will come or not.

Zhao Chuanxin said with a smile: Forget it, go and do your work. You don't have to protect me anymore.

That's not possible, I... Halfway through the words, Li Zhitao's eyes suddenly lit up: Master, you know the magic, why don't you go to Shushan to take charge, won't all the masters and not masters have to fail?

You are such a talkative fool. Zhao Chuanxin said, I am a very clean person and I don't even understand the rules of poker.

He is sworn in with gambling and drugs.

That doesn't matter. The rules are very simple. Sometimes I try my luck. The more Li Zhitao thought about it, the more reliable it became. I heard that these masters of card skills all have spells. Otherwise, how could they keep winning? The leader only needs to destroy his spells.

Superstitious! Zhao Chuanxin scolded.

... People call you a mage, but you accuse me of being superstitious? Li Zhitao sighed: To be honest, boss, our place can no longer operate. Not only does Shushan belong to the headquarters of Xuantian Sect, but because deputy boss Li can't raise the money, we employees also have shares.

Zhao Chuanxin was stunned.

Li Guangzong actually has such saucy tricks?

Seeing Li Zhitao's face full of pleading, it seems that he has invested a lot.

Zhao Chuanxin hesitated again and again, thinking that it would be a good idea to go to Ao Island to visit. One day in the future, he would not only drive away the British from Hong Kong Island, but also drive away the Portuguese from Ao Island.

The scene in Shushan was not his original intention. He just let go after achieving his goal.

Hearing that Zhao Chuanxin was going to Ao Island by boat again, Miao Cuihua was worried: I'm not feeling well. I heard people say it's very messy there.

Zhao Chuanxin was confident: It will be fine on the road. I have made sure the time is tight.

He has decided to leave.

Miao Cuihua repeatedly warned not to cause trouble on the road, to restrain her temper and to act in a low-key manner.

Why did Zhao Chuanxin have the confidence to go out?

Because... on the boat to Ao Island, he opened the Code of the Old Gods.

[We have arrived at the human city-state. 】

[I gave a quarter of the starry sky root and the test tube to the goblin at the same time. 】

[The goblin said in shock: Fearless Pioneer, you actually completed two tasks at the same time! 】

[The goblin said again: But why is there only one quarter of the root of the starry sky? Where did the rest go? 】

[I recounted the story of being besieged by the remnants of the creature, telling it that three-quarters of it had been eaten by me, but did not mention my multiple deaths. 】

[The goblin said regretfully: I want to use the root of the starry sky to refine a potion, but unfortunately three-quarters are missing, and the potency will be greatly reduced. 】

[According to the agreement, I can only get a quarter of this reward. 】

[I got 12+10 years of life. 】

I was guarded and died 9 times.

Zhao Chuanxin lost 9 years of his life.

Now not only has it been replenished, but it has also gained 13 years of life.

On the boat, Zhao Chuanxian's face turned rosy visibly.

Li Zhitao was still advocating beside him: Master, I'm telling you, you should come out and take a look at the scenery. Your complexion is much better than before.

...

If my life span had not been increased by 13 years and my body's shortcomings had not been compensated, would I have gotten better?

Zhao Chuanxin ignored him. After closing his eyes and experiencing the comfort of an enlightenment, he continued to stare at the Old God Codex and wrote:

[I asked the goblin: What is that test tube used for? 】

Zhao Chuanxin has always been curious about this.

[The goblin shook the test tube filled with purple liquid and said: This is a culture medium. I will use it to cultivate a parasitic vocal organ. 】

[I asked the goblin: What is the function of the vocal organ? 】

[Goblin explanation: The part of the blue ghost armor we cut last time does not have the function of expression. We need to make it speak. 】

Zhao Chuanxin immediately thought of the smart gyroscope, which also lost its expressive function.

He wrote:

[I asked: Can two vocal organs be cultivated? If so, can you give me one? 】

As the old saying goes: Open your mouth and gain three points.

[The goblin shook his head: Unfortunately, according to the note you brought back, the culture fluid in this bottle of test tube can only cultivate one vocal organ. 】

Zhao Chuanxin was disappointed.

[I say goodbye to the goblins and find the weirdos. 】

[I asked the weirdo to help me contact the defense officials of the city-state. 】

[The official met me. 】

[I delivered various documents obtained in Sunset Town to the hands of officials of the Ministry of National Defense. 】

[I sincerely say: I hope it will be helpful to you. 】

According to Zhao Chuanxin's character, he is definitely not letting go of the eagle when he sees the rabbit.

How can you hand it over if you don’t give me any benefits?

But he was immersed in the joy of sublimating his vitality after gaining life span. Inadvertently, those documents were handed over by me, a good person.

[After the official looked through it, he said to me: Fearless Pioneer, in this troubled time, you are the mainstay of human city-state civilization. You have risked your life time and time again for the continuation of civilization and brought you powerful allies. We can't thank you enough. This time, you have made a meritorious deed again. 】

[It turns out that from these documents, the officials found clues about the flow of various materials from the biological remnants, which were false and true when they evacuated. 】

[This is of extremely important value for them to launch a counterattack into the Blood Wasteland. 】

[After the official communicated with his colleagues, he said to me: Fearless Pioneer, after careful discussion, we decided to reward you with the Old Sacred Altar. 】

[There are many types of old gods, most of which are unpredictable and elusive. There is only one old god, which ancient humans called the Holy Essence, and is the closest old god to humans. Divine Essence is the only old god who was undoubtedly worshiped by ancient humans. Legend has it that he is the incarnation of the dark matter of the universe. In order to prevent the destruction of the world, the sacred essence shattered its body and turned into a hundred altars, scattered throughout the world. Those who control the altar can accept the power of faith, and use this to open the channel of holy light and transfer instantly. 】

Zhao Chuanxin was stunned, flashed?

Will it hit a wall?

[In the city-state civilization, there are only a handful of people who have been rewarded with the old sacred altar. There are only three people in total. 】

[I felt the great glory coming, my blood surged with excitement, and my hair stood on end. 】

There have been no reward items for a long time. According to the rules of the Old God Code, the reward items are two copies. I have it, and Zhao Chuanxin also has it.

What a surprise.

The smart heads in the city-state were actually willing to spend money this time, thinking they were getting another title.

The old sacred altar and its use, appear at the same time.

Zhao Chuanxin had suspected that the old gods were all short before, but when he saw the appearance of the altar, he was even more convinced of this.

It is only as big as the belly of your thumb and is in the shape of an eight-pointed star, with a hole in each star.

Before Zhao Chuanxin could make his next move, the Old God Codex continued to be updated, attracting his attention.

[An official from the Ministry of National Defense said: Fearless Pioneer, at the same time, we have a task for you. We discovered from the documents of the biological remnants that they sent a force through the Ghost Valley and around to the northern border of the Shadow Forest to enter it, in an attempt to once again provoke the war between the nine tribes in the Shadow Forest and drive some of the tribes in the Shadow Forest to the city-state civilization. world. That will inevitably provoke a war between humans and them. The biological remnants seem to have noticed that the city-state is about to launch a counterattack against them, hoping to disrupt our rhythm.

We know that you have dealt with the nine tribes of the Shadow Forest, and we hope that you can enter the Shadow Forest from the south and stop the evil plans of the remaining creatures.

If you accept the quest, we will reward you with a second Old Sacred Altar. 】

[I have two choices:

1: Accept the mission, and I will become the only person in the history of city-state civilization who owns two old sacred altars.

Two: Stay in the city-state to heal. 】

Zhao Chuanxin knew that every multiple-choice question had pitfalls.

He paid a heavy price for his greed. This time he did not hesitate to write:

[I choose second. 】

Just lie down.

[Officials from the Ministry of Defense left disappointed. 】

Next, I will bask in the sun every day to heal my injuries.

Zhao Chuanxin closed the Old God Code.

He placed the old sacred altar in the palm of his hand, silently recited the incantation, and used his mind power to communicate spiritually with the old sacred altar.

The altar changed from a dusty appearance to a translucent crystal, with thin lines invisible to others gathering from all directions.

The direction of Liao Di, the direction of Lugang Town, the direction of the floods in the Yangtze River, the direction of Hong Kong Island, and some scattered directions overseas. Thin lines are mainly drawn from these directions.

These are all people who have been favored by Zhao Chuanxin, and they have the power of faith from their hearts.

He heard more than once that someone built a shrine for him at home.

I was ashamed at first, but I didn't expect to use it today.

What is faith?

It is said that the movement of matter can be changed by human will. Faith is also a kind of will.

What is dark matter?

Theoretically speaking, it is matter that may exist in the universe but is invisible.

Darkness is just a state, not good or evil.

Zhao Chuanxin could only vaguely feel these thin lines, but he didn't know what they were.

Hundreds of rivers flow into the sea, and clouds accumulate into rain.

Faith gathered together and returned to the old sacred altar, as if liquid was born. The bottom of the old sacred altar was vaguely visible, like a progress bar.

Master Zhao Chuanxin opened the Holy Light Channel, but nothing happened.

This is the reason why the power of faith is not accumulated enough.

He took out a nail, nailed it to the cabin with the back of an axe, tied the rope, and braided a three-strand braid with the thin rope. The bottom was corn knot braiding, and two turquoise bucket beads were worn at the connection as accessories. The old sacred altar was lowered and finally hung under the neck.

After adjusting the elastic knot, he put it on top of one another with the Secret Realm Pendant, and Zhao Chuanxin suddenly put it on in a trick.

On the passenger ship, Li Zhitao knocked on Zhao Chuanxin's cabin: Master, we are arriving at Ao Island soon.
