Taming the Demon: A Guide to Raising a Great Sage

Chapter 32 032, ready

Xiao Zhaohu squatted on the table, and suddenly exerted strength with his hind legs, and he stood up. With two front paws, he threw a lightning cat punch at Shen Lang, and the small claws were so fast that they left behind shadows.

Shen Lang only felt his eyes go dizzy, but he hadn't figured out what was going on, and he had been hit on the face several times.

Fortunately, Xiao Zhao didn't show his paws, but just patted him with the tender little pad.

Otherwise, with the sharpness of Xiao Zhao's pair of small claws, and its growing strength that is no less than that of a seven or eight-year-old child, even if Shen Lang has a level of skin enhancement, the epidermis still has the "slippery" ability to unload force , and now his face will be scratched with bloodstains.

"This one doesn't count, I just lost my mind..."

[Tsk, Shen Lang, what's the matter with you?Why is the reaction so slow?Have people given you feedback on the agility white enhancement?Concentrate, focus, don't get distracted meow! 】

"..."

In the next few days, Shen Lang lived a very regular life——

Go to work in the morning, patrol the streets, and get familiar with the environment of the county.

At noon, I invite Zhu Hu to a restaurant for a big meal. Sometimes when I bump into Lao Zhao and his attendants, Shen Lang will invite them to dinner and drink together. While chatting, I ask for some irrelevant news, such as the surrounding geography and the like.

Habitually asking for leave in the afternoon, I didn’t even bother to make up excuses, and then went home to practice boxing and sword moves tirelessly, practiced against Xiao Zhao, trained footwork and body skills, and tried to dodge cat punches.

In the evening, I will go out to stop by for dinner, and then practice kung fu after returning home, then take a medicinal bath, and then continue to practice kung fu after finishing.

Until the physical strength is squeezed to the point of exhaustion, and the spirit is also on the verge of the limit, will go to bed with extreme exhaustion, and recover quickly in deep sleep.

By the way, Shen Lang also asked Zhu Hu about how to use a flintlock pistol. He borrowed Zhu Hu's gun and learned a series of steps such as loading and firing. He also found a place to try firing a few shots and experienced flintlock shooting a feeling of.

He even used an excuse to ask for advice, and asked Zhu Hu and Lao Zhao to perform a "sound hit" by a seventh-rank warrior on him, and personally experienced a sudden burst of shouting at close range by a mid-level seventh-rank warrior. Shocking eardrums roaring, dizzy feeling.

It's a bad feeling.

Although the duration was extremely short, Zhao Mengshan was a master of the seventh rank, and his power of attack was far higher than that of Zhu Hu and Lao Zhao.If he took one shot, even if he was dizzy for a second, he might be torn to pieces by Zhao Mengshan.

Before facing Zhao Mengshan directly, he must first try to weaken him in an all-round way and abolish his ability to attack with voice.

Of course, it would be best if Zhao Mengshan could be taken away directly.

For this reason, Shen Lang fully tested the function of the fine brush.

For example, I first point to the fine pen space, and then let Xiao Zhao take the pen to another place, and then he comes out of the space to see if he has successfully moved the position.

Another example is holding a lighted incense stick between your fingers, and then taking Xiaozhao and Xiaoyu into the Jingbi space at the same time without taking the incense sticks, so as to test whether all the members have entered, or whether it is the same time. When there are no little demons outside, I just enter with consciousness.

If there is no little demon outside the space, he only enters his consciousness and his body remains in this world, then the stick of incense that he didn't bring into the space and was caught in his finger will naturally burn his hand after a while .

Experiments have proved that even if there is no little demon outside, his body has entered the space of a little fine brush, and he has not stayed outside.

Because after coming out of the space, the burning stick of incense and fine brushes all fell to the ground.

Prove that after he and all the demons have entered the Dianjingbi space, they will turn into a dragon-snake-like brand when he carries it with him. The Dianjingbi attached to the back of his left hand will restore the original shape of the semi-old writing brush and drop it to the ground , Shen Lang then tested the wound-bearing ability of the fine brush again:
Slashing with fine pens, stabbing with swords, smashing with stones, flooding, burning, and even going outside the city to explode with gunpowder.

Of course, when testing the damage-bearing ability of fine pens, it is carefully and slowly increased. The strength of knives, swords, stones and rocks is increased little by little.

Experiments have proved that the wound-bearing ability of such a "spiritual treasure" such as the Dianjing pen is really strong beyond imagination.

Anyway, any means that Shen Lang can use at present can't cause the slightest damage to the fine brush.

Even the few, slender hairs on the half-bald pen tip can't be destroyed by any means.

This made Shen Lang more confident in his plan.

Time just passed by day by day.

When it came time to pick up the guns, Shen Lang went to the gunsmith's shop to pick up the two custom-made flintlock pistols.

The shopkeeper of the gunsmith's shop received him with two dark circles under his eyes:
"Mr. Shen, the little old man and his apprentices rotate day and night, rushing to work non-stop for six days and six nights, and finally fulfilled their mission. Look, are these two guns still satisfactory?"

Shen Lang took over the two heavy flintlock pistols. He saw that the two guns were rough in appearance, without any fine carvings. They only slightly polished the oak handles and the burrs on the stainless steel barrels. They looked stupid and clumsy. Not exquisite.

But this is his own request, he only seeks practicality, not aesthetics, and of course he will not picky on the appearance.

Shen Lang held a gun in each hand, and felt that the handle of the gun felt very good, and it was not too big or small in his hand, just right.

Then he opened the hammer with his thumb, and pulled the trigger against the wall. When the hammer hit the medicine pool, the bursting sound was short, clear and powerful.

He nodded with satisfaction and asked:
"Is there a place to try a gun?"

"Yes, there is a small shooting range in the backyard of the shop, please follow me, my lord."

The old shopkeeper took Shen Lang to the backyard of the shop, and there was indeed a small shooting range about thirty steps long and wide.

The old shopkeeper put a pair of human-shaped wooden targets in front of the thick courtyard wall, and put a pair of standard military breastplates on the wooden target's chest.

Standing [-] steps away from the wooden target, Shen Lang skillfully filled a small amount of gunpowder into the medicine pool, closed the lid of the medicine pool, then filled the gun barrel with gunpowder, and then put the weighted lead pellet wrapped in silk from the muzzle of the gun. Tuck it in, and press it down with a spatula.

Put away the cleaning rod and get ready to shoot. After the shopkeeper walked away, Shen Lang didn't even aim. Relying on the hand-eye coordination ability brought about by the agility enhancement and the precise sense of distance and space, he raised his hand and fired two guns in salvo.

These are two special heavy-duty pistols specially made for warriors, with a caliber of 20 mm and lead bullets exceeding 40 grams. The gunpowder is also loaded in excess. Trembling, slightly numb.

However, his hand strength was already far superior to that of ordinary people, and the longitudinal recoil was so strong that the muzzle of the gun only jumped slightly, but did not rise sharply.

After the successful shooting, Shen Lang and the old shopkeeper went over to take a look, and saw that the thickest part of the military breastplate seemed to have broken two holes, and the sides of the holes were also greatly dented.

He took off the breastplate and saw that the broken lead pellets and fine breastplate fragments were deeply embedded in the wooden target's chest, shooting the wooden target like a sieve.

With such power, if you hit someone, it is definitely not something that any low-rank warrior, or even a sixth-rank or fifth-rank warrior, can resist with flesh and blood.

The only drawback is that it is a little troublesome to reload, and there will be no chance to reload during close-range actual combat.

But even if it can't be reloaded, these two guns are so heavy, you can hold the barrel, turn the gun body upside down, and hit someone with the handle on the head.

Or just throw the gun out and hit people. If you have enough strength, you can also kill people.

"Shooting a salvo of two guns from twenty paces away, they can hit the vital parts of the chest at the same time, Mr. Shen is really good at shooting!"

The old shopkeeper gave a thumbs up and praised repeatedly.

Shen Lang laughed and turned around:
"It is also thanks to the old shopkeeper's excellent craftsmanship that he made such a good gun. Thank you for your hard work, shopkeeper!"

The shopkeeper laughed:
"As long as you are satisfied, son, as long as you are satisfied."

After complimenting the shopkeeper's craftsmanship, Shen Lang completed the registration and settled the final payment without hesitation——

For common people, gunsmith shops can only sell shotguns with small calibers and long barrels.

As for the flintlock pistols that are easy to carry concealed, and the large-caliber flintlock rifles of the military model, they cannot be sold to ordinary people.

Only the rich and powerful, or regular escort agencies with official licenses, can buy flintlock pistols and military rifles in small quantities.

Of course, black and evil forces with channels and backgrounds can always get private guns that are not inferior to military muskets.

Shen Lang was able to buy these two specially-made heavy pistols with enhanced power, of course, because he was introduced by Zhu Hu and has the status of a government servant.

But even if Shen Lang is from the yamen, he still needs to register to buy a gun.

His identity information, the type of musket he purchased, and the quantity of ammunition must all be recorded in detail and reported to the Yamen on a regular basis.

In the evening, everything was ready.

Shen Lang came to the restaurant diagonally across the street from the main entrance of the Zhao Mansion again, staring at the gate of the Zhao Mansion while drinking and eating.

When the lanterns were just on, Young Master Zhao hugged and went out on horseback.

After stepping on the site for several days and carefully inquiring, Shen Lang has already figured out the life pattern of Young Master Zhao. He knows that Zhao Mengshan has to go to the brothel for entertainment every few days, but he never spends the night in the brothel and returns home around nine o'clock in the evening. , looks very self-disciplined.

Shen Lang narrowed his eyes slightly, glanced at First Young Master Zhao from a distance, and then looked away.

When he was far away from the Zhao Mansion, he paid for the wine, left the restaurant, used the cover of night to avoid pedestrians, and sneaked around to the side of the Zhao Mansion.

After that, he called up the attribute panel, and checked his attributes carefully for a while.
