The mage in the late Qing Dynasty

Zhao Chuanxin asked: What kind of horse bandits?

The man said: Rolling dragons, black tigers, local horse bandits, and people fleeing from outside. Taoketao Hu led people to deal with the government troops, and were defeated several times. They fled, killing people and setting fires in order to survive. That's not a problem. .”

Zhao Chuanxin remembered that the one who killed Mongolian bandits such as Tao Ketaohu should be Boss Zhang outside Guanwai.

He nodded and looked at the sky.

If he gritted his teeth, he might be able to reach the destination that the man said would take him ten days and a half before dark.

But after thinking about it, Zhao Chuanxin still gave up.

At this time of year, the night is already very cold, and it is easy to cause traffic accidents if you cannot see the road clearly.

A car is called meat wrapped in iron, a motorcycle is called meat wrapped in iron, so what is the name of the misty traveler? At most, the meat is dipped in a little sauce...

Well, say no to fatigue driving!

After Zhao Chuanxin thanked him, he climbed up the slope. He remembered that when he came, he saw a pond with a piece of sand beside the pond.

He went to the unknown natural water bubble, built a bathtub with a mud trowel glove, drew the water into the bathtub with the greetings of Lord Run, and heated it with the brand of the Old God's Cauldron.

I stripped naked and jumped in for a hot bath.

Zhao Chuanxin was very doubtful that he would suffer from rheumatism when he got old because he was always running around on the Misty Traveler.

His grandfather was a carriage driver in his early days. As he got older, his joints became swollen and painful. Could he inherit the family disease?

Taking a hot bath is very effective in getting rid of rheumatism.

He lay in this bathtub that was extremely suitable for his personal ergonomics. He took out the cold steamed bun slices, took out the soybean oil and the blended dipping sauce and smeared it on it. He inserted the iron skewer and held it outside the bathtub. The Old God Crucible imprint was activated. Bake over low heat.

Nothing can control the heat more evenly and freely than the Cauldron Brand of the Old Gods.

The most important thing is to avoid open flames.

While baking, the fat begins to penetrate into the steamed bun slices. After baking again, the edges of the steamed bun slices will become crispy, while the inside will be softened by the fat. The flavor of cumin will be the first to spread.

After the steamed buns were baked and the water was a little cold, Zhao Chuanxin heated the bathtub again.

At this time, the sky was getting dark.

As soon as Zhao Chuanxin stuffed a piece of steamed bun into his mouth, he saw a pair of green eyes in the night, staring straight at him.

He was unmoved and nodded with satisfaction: Well...that's the smell.

Grilled steamed buns are the most profound texture and taste in Zhao Chuanxin’s memory.

When he was a child, his family was not very well off.

At that time, barbecue was already popular outside the customs. Every time Zhao Chuanxin passed by a barbecue stall, he would salivate at the delicious food.

Lao Zhao has been worried about poverty since he was a child. If he has no money to eat meat, he will eat steamed buns. A skewer with two slices of grilled steamed buns costs 50 cents. It can fill a small belly and taste good.

When he ate grilled steamed buns for the first time, Zhao Chuanxin realized that steamed buns could be so delicious.

The pair of green eyes came closer.

This is a coyote.

The skinny body still bears some scars from the fight. From its slightly trembling limbs but calm expression, and sparse fur, it can be seen that this is an old wolf, most likely the same as the old wolf flying in the sky. , a lone wolf who was kicked out of the team after being seized the throne.

Zhao Chuanxin would not take a mere wolf to heart, no matter whether he was old, weak or young, not even a group.

He devoured the big piece of toasted buns and threw away the smaller pieces.

The old wolf lowered his head and sniffed, not seeming too interested, but when he looked up at Zhao Chuanxin who was leisurely in the bathtub, he felt that the two-legged beast was confident.

The dragon swims in the shallows and the tiger falls in the sun. The old wolf feels that at his age, he should not pursue four dishes and one soup.

It lowered its head and swallowed the steamed buns wholeheartedly, but its belly was still burning.

It slowly approached Zhao Chuanxin, pacing back and forth like a duel between martial arts practitioners, as if looking for some loophole.

But at this time, Zhao Chuanxin felt like there were flaws all over his body.

He tentatively approached and found that Zhao Chuanxin did not respond.

When he got closer, Zhao Chuanxin still closed his eyes.

Slowly, the old wolf was only one step away from the bathtub, suddenly opened his mouth and stretched towards Zhao Chuanxin's neck.

At this moment, Zhao Chuanxin suddenly opened his eyes, grabbed the old wolf's opening and closing mouth with his big hand, and forcefully closed its mouth again.

The old wolf was startled and wanted to shrink back, but Zhao Chuanxin's big hands were like pliers, like copper poured into iron with roots taking root.

The maknae is so grinning. You want to carry out a sneak attack? Zhao Chuanxin bared his teeth and smiled.

The old wolf wanted to raise its front paws to scratch, but Zhao Chuanxin shook its mouth to make it difficult for him to succeed.

After pinching him for a full two minutes, when despair could almost be seen in the old wolf's eyes, Zhao Chuanxin let go.

The old wolf whimpered and ran to the edge of the pool. He put his mouth into the water and rinsed it. The cool water alleviated the burning pain in his mouth and nose. By the way, he licked a few more mouthfuls of water and drank it, and his hunger was relieved. A lot.

Zhao Chuanxin continued to heat the water, took out a piece of beef, smeared it with sauce, and grilled it again.

The aroma of meat fills the air, making it difficult for humans and animals to resist its temptation in this wilderness.

Zhao Chuanxin roasted a whole piece and cut it with a Tibetan knife from time to time to allow the heat to penetrate better.

When the meat is cooked, Zhao Chuanxin increases the firepower to brown the outer ring of the beef.

The old wolf was very interested in the dripping butter. He hesitated ten meters away and really wanted to lick it.

Zhao Chuanxin cut off a third of the beef and threw it towards the old wolf.

The old wolf looked at the bigger piece of meat in Zhao Chuanxin's hand, and his envy was beyond words.

Zhao Chuanxin finished eating the meat, put on his mud trowel gloves, and raised the stone platform next to the bathtub.

The kettle on the stone platform had been burned red by Zhao Chuanxin, as if it was about to melt. Zhao Chuanxin thought that this would boil faster, but he unexpectedly had the opposite effect, and it took longer than usual.

He then remembered that when the temperature exceeds a certain level, water vaporizes too quickly and the water vapor will form an isolation layer.

Make a pot of tea, drink tea, smoke and compete with the gods.

However, it is easy for his teeth to become black, so after a pot of tea and a cigarette, he quickly took out the tooth powder and carefully mixed it, and only got out of the bathtub after breaking a piece of dental floss.

Lao Lang shook his body, and Zhao Chuanxin also shook his body.

Then it got dry.

He was dressed neatly, and under the gaze of the old wolf, he put the water in the bathtub back into the bubble, took out the wooden planks to lay on the floor, wrapped himself in a quilt and lay down.

The old wolf didn't leave after it was full. It seemed to be tired. It was lying down more than ten meters away resigned to its fate and silently licking its wounds. As for how long it had to live, let it go.

Zhao Chuanxin took out the Old God Code.

[I don’t know how long I slept, but I was awakened by footsteps in the corridor outside the door. 】

[I looked at the elf scout and the brother and sister sleeping deeply. Without disturbing them, I got up and came to the door to listen. 】

[But at this time there was no sound outside the door. I turned my head and looked out the lattice window. In the thick sea fog, I could vaguely see the flickering lights. The lights on Hongdao usually stay up all night. 】

[I always feel that there are some kind of sneaky things in the darkness. Their eyes are hidden in the night and fog. They chatter and have evil intentions. 】

[I thought to myself that maybe this was a hint from others that led me to such a ridiculous idea. 】

[While I was lost in thought, I heard a dull sound of footsteps in the corridor outside the door, as if someone was stopping outside the door to eavesdrop on what was going on in the room. 】

[I am not a timid person. I immediately took out the Lugang M1907, cocked the hammer, pointed it at the door, and slowly pushed it open. 】

[There is nothing in the corridor. 】

[The muzzle of the gun turned with me. I looked around, but there was no one on the left or right. 】

[I remembered that the craftsman told me that his father didn’t like to be disturbed. Could it be that his father was up at night? 】

[Finally, I lit up the wind lantern and walked out of the room to check. 】

[Although there was no one there, when I looked down, I saw a huge footprint on the corridor floor. 】

[What surprised me was that this footprint didn’t seem to belong to a human being, it only had four toes. 】

[While I was observing, I felt the wind blowing above my head. 】

[There was a moment of panic in my heart, and I quickly leaned over and lowered my head. 】

[Something passed over my head, and the wind stirred up my hair. When I raised my gun and pointed it at the thing, it had disappeared from the stairs at the end of the corridor. 】

[I ignored the craftsman’s warning not to disturb his father and followed the unknown creature downstairs. 】

[The huge footprints at the door downstairs indicate that the unknown creature has gone out. 】

[I followed him out with a wind lantern. The visibility was no more than ten steps in the thick sea fog, and every breath of water vapor was sucked into my lungs. 】

At this time, Zhao Chuanxin glanced at the old wolf and saw that it was motionless with its head in his arms.

Wild beasts are all shrewd. When the old wolf found out that Zhao Chuanxin would not take the initiative to attack it, it was not Zhao Chuanxin's opponent, but could eat and drink with Zhao Chuanxin, so it would not attack him easily.

Zhao Chuanxin opened the Holy Light Channel.

He sent the smart gyroscope over.

Apparently the night on Hongdao is not normal, and another unknown creature appears.

Zhao Chuanxin was worried that he would die unexpectedly and lose his life, so he had to use the smart gyroscope to detect the surrounding environment.

He released the paper pig, which ran nimbly on the bright red ground and disappeared into the thick fog.

Along the road, he walked forward for about twenty or thirty meters when suddenly a scream came from the grass beside the road.

Zhao Chuanxin reacted very quickly and immediately pointed the gun there, but did not shoot rashly.

After a moment, the paper pig turned around, and Zhao Chuanxin saw blood stains on the corners of the paper pig's mouth.

This guy won't attack easily and is usually only used for police purposes.

I guess something attacked it and it fought back.

Apparently, the creature that attacked it didn't expect to hit the iron plate.

Although the paper pig is small, it is still a page from the Devil's Codex.

To say who is more evil, I really can't say.

Zhao Chuanxin asked: Can that thing hurt me?

Paper Pig shook his head.

Zhao Chuanxin said: Continue to explore the road.

The paper pig turned around and ran away.

I don’t know how long I walked, but a gust of sea wind blew from the sea, causing the thick fog to roll in.

At the end that the smart gyroscope and the paper pig could detect, Zhao Chuanxin suddenly saw a huge furry thing.

Without saying a word, he raised his gun and shot.

Bang, bang, bang...

The Lugang M1907 had 15 rounds of ammunition, and Zhao Chuanxin fired half of it.

What kind of evil spirits are there? I will physically exorcise them for you.

Zhao Chuanxin was very confident in his shooting skills, so he must have hit the mark, but the huge furry black shadow did not scream or shake. It dodged and disappeared into the mist.

Zhao Chuanxin thought for a while, this was because he lacked firepower...

He immediately put on the Ares M1907 and loaded it. If it appears again, give it a shot of bullets to make it look good.

The sound of gunshots spread very far in the night, and Zhao Chuanxin saw a faint light shining in the most prosperous place. It must be someone holding a light to investigate the situation.

He didn't care about that at all and chased after him with a light and a gun.

He saw dripping blood on the stone steps full of traces of erosion over time.

This made him sneer: All fear comes from insufficient firepower.

The bloodstain first extended downwards for a while, and then disappeared into the grass beside the road.

Because the soil is blood red, the blood stains become inconspicuous and difficult to argue with.

At this time, Zhao Chuanxin heard a rustling sound coming from far away in the grass, as if countless grasshoppers were frightened and fled around, hitting the grass blades.

He pointed deep into the grass: Let the paper pig go in and take a look.

It didn't take long for the paper pig to turn around.

Zhao Chuanxin asked: Is there any danger inside?

Paper Pig nodded.

Can I handle it?

Paper Pig shook his head.

Zhao Chuanxin was surprised.

To be honest, with my strength that has experienced hundreds of battles, coupled with various equipment, unless I encounter a being of the level of the dead, it is really difficult to encounter difficult situations.

He said to the air: Sang Ling, are you here?

I am here.

... Zhao Chuanxin was speechless: Are you helping me?

Shall I come? Shanngling asked.

You have to wait for me to whip you, right? Zhao Chuanxin said fiercely.

You didn't let me move. Shanling said aggrievedly.

Nummy...

Xing Ling did not reply.

But it moved very quickly and came back with an animal that Zhao Chuanxin thought was the size of a cat.

Shang Ling threw the animal on the ground. Zhao Chuanxin took a look and his pupils shrank.

The head of this thing is exactly like a mouse, but unlike the short limbs of a mouse, its claws are extremely sharp.

This duck neck looks familiar... Zhao Chuanxin muttered to himself.

The mourning soul asked curiously: What duck neck?

Zhao Chuanxin looked at the mouse head and suddenly remembered the silver wine flask that the trade officer gave him and he gave to Bayar's forehead. Wasn't this the head engraved on it?

He frowned and kicked the strange mouse corpse: Can't you handle this thing?

Shangling said: I saw countless such creatures in the grass. They are small, but flexible and fast. They attack in groups and are difficult for ordinary people to deal with. But I found that they are afraid of fire.

Zhao Chuanxin thought it was no wonder, the bustling area on Hongdao was full of bright lights, it turned out they were the ones on guard.

Imagine if countless rats surged in and swamped him, no matter how hard it was to defend him with weapons or guns.

Zhao Chuanxin asked again: Have you seen that tall, furry monster?

No, he must have run away. Sanngling replied.

Just as he was talking, the fog suddenly surged.

Zhao Chuanxin immediately retreated and pointed his gun forward.

It's me. The craftsman's voice came.

Zhao Chuanxin frowned. The craftsman's family was behind him, but the craftsman appeared from the front.

This is so suspicious.

Before he could ask, the craftsman spoke in a faint voice: Fearless Pioneer, who are you talking to? And what was that huge noise just now?

Because the dead soul is invisible, Zhao Chuanxin looks like he is talking to the air.

The craftsman's voice seemed deep and full of ominous meaning in this thick fog.

The craftsman's figure was fully revealed. Zhao Chuanxin saw that his face was pale, his lips were very red, and he was tall and tall, but he seemed to be very strong. He was carrying bloody skins of shipworms and other materials on his shoulders, and mucus was still dripping down. .

Naturally, Zhao Chuanxin would not reveal the details of the deceased, nor would he tell him that it was a gunshot. Instead, he scolded: I'm not telling you, it's so early in the morning, why are you running around without sleeping? You scared me, I can let you go If you scare this big rat to death, I can let you go. But I also have a temper and am not a looser.

The initially weird atmosphere was immediately dispelled.

The craftsman's bright red mouth was wide open, and he was speechless after Zhao Chuanxin's barrage of words. After a moment, he said: I will go to the dock to get the sawdust skins that the workers made overnight to make armor and cloak for you...

I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. Still struggling.
