mage in the late qing dynasty

Chapter 286 There Are Some Things You Have To Believe
Li Xiangxi silently ate ramen and scallion pancakes, and grilled fish.

He changed the subject and asked, "You said that I took His Majesty's personal letter to the Second Peace Conference of Nations, will it help Korea at this time?"

Zhao Chuanxin coughed and choked on the noodles.

After he swallowed with difficulty, he laughed.

Li Xiangxi said angrily, "What are you laughing at?"

Zhao Chuanxin said: "It's nothing, just go directly, don't listen to my advice. After listening to you, you won't have the drive. How can you give up halfway, right?"

"..." Li Xiangxi lost his appetite immediately, and put his chopsticks on the table: "What exactly do you mean, Li is willing to listen to your opinion."

Zhao Chuanxin drank the noodle soup in one gulp, put down the bowl and said, "The Russo-Japanese War was mediated by the United States, right? Russia has recognized Japan's right to rule Korea. The United States and Japan have recognized each other's right to rule over the Philippines and Korea. The United Kingdom is the current backer of the Japanese devils, and it also supports them. The Qing Dynasty is too busy to take care of itself and cannot speak well. The remaining powers basically just ignore their attitudes. When you went there, the Japanese found that their international rule over Korea was acquiesced Finally, the last worry will be dispelled."

Li Xiangxie's face turned pale and was dripping with cold sweat.

His excited lips trembled: "No, it won't be... Then this peace conference of all nations, isn't it just a joke?"

"How can it be said to be a child's play? Aren't they going to dispel the last worries of the Japanese?"

Is this called consolation?
"I don't believe it, I definitely don't believe it."

Li Xiangxi began to try to convince himself that Zhao Chuanxin was talking nonsense, and it was just a family statement.

"Oh, that's fine." Zhao Chuanxin didn't care, and took the money to pay the bill.

"Where are you going?" Li Xiangxi stood up and asked.

"Go find a patriotic businessman from your country."

There are many patriotic businessmen in Korea, but Park Tae-ho is the one who doesn't care about the cost.

He was at the pier in Jimulpo, talking with a group of little ones.

On the small fishing boat moored at the pier, the dried fish scales on the deck were shining brightly, and there was a faint fishy smell on the boat.

A small table and two small mats were not placed securely on the deck.

Xian Yubin sat on the other side of the small table in a serious manner, facing the big businessman Pu Zehu without showing timidity.

"Mr. Park, thank you Dacheng Chamber of Commerce for arranging us. But I have a request, can the poor hall be built on the island of God of War 2?"

Pu Zehu was stunned for a moment: "Island of God of War 2? Where is that?"

Xian Yubin's brows were deliberately wrinkled into a shallow "Chuan" character to cover up the disadvantage of his lack of age.

He was very serious: "Island of God of War 2, I shouldn't have revealed it. But Mr. Park is one of his own people, and his own people will not harm his own people. God of War Island is a base of our God of War team. God of War 2 is a good island. It is the base of our God of War intelligence agents."

Hearing that Xian Yubin called himself "the intelligence agent of the God of War", Pu Zehu wanted to laugh, but he held back.

He said: "The transportation is not very convenient, but let me tell you the reason first. Why must it be on the Ares 2 Island?"

"There, we planted food. Although Mr. Park kindly took him in, we can't always rely on Mr. Park's help. We want to be self-reliant."

Pu Zehu, who was a little joking in his heart, turned serious.

In addition to providing financial and material assistance to Korean independent volunteers, he also founded the "Shinhan Minbo" and the Daesung Chamber of Commerce.In addition to calling on the Korean people to resist Japanese aggression and colonial rule, it also encouraged Koreans to be economically self-reliant.

He attached great importance to self-reliance, and was very disgusted with the Japanese monopoly on Korea's economy and agriculture.

Therefore, when Xian Yubin proposed that he wanted to be self-reliant in the future, Pu Zehu became serious.

He felt that the baby in front of him would definitely be number one in Korea in the future.

"Since that's the case, I need to go to the island of God of War 2 for an investigation first, and I will give you an accurate answer if I can."

If Pu Zehu agreed directly, Xian Yubin would have doubts instead.

It can be seen that he has to investigate first, this is the attitude of doing things seriously.

Xian Yubin got up, tidied up his patched clothes, and extended his hand to Pu Zehu: "Mr. Park, on behalf of all of us Ares intelligence agents, I would like to express my sincere thanks to you. We are still young, but we will eventually grow up one day. What you do today will pay off."

Pu Zehu smiled, stood up too, reached out his hand and shook Xian Yubin: "I'm really looking forward to your future."

A group of snot-nosed kids looked enviously at Xian Yubin who was able to talk to a big businessman.

At this moment, a snot-nosed child pointed to the pier and said excitedly: "Look, Mr. Zhao is here."

Everyone looked together, and it was indeed Zhao Chuanxin, accompanied by a thin man with a big forehead and a moustache that curled up.

Looks like he's under 40 years old.

Pu Zehu waved his hand towards the shore to say hello: "Mr. Zhao."

Xian Yubin ordered: "Roll the oars and go ashore."

The two snot-nosed babies rowed the oar from left to right, and worked together to row the boat to the shore.

Zhao Chuanxin asked Li Xiangxi to jump down first, and then he followed to the boat.

"Hey, what about your meeting?"

Pu Zehu smiled: "Yes, these intelligence agents of Mr. Zhao are also full of talents, which opened my eyes."

Zhao Chuanxin glanced at Xian Yubin, said with a smile, "That's right, these are all pillars."

Pu Zehu looked at Li Xiangxi: "Who is this?"

Zhao Chuanxin did not hide it, and revealed Li Xiangxi's identity, and even his mission to attend the Peace Conference of All Nations.

Li Xiangxie's face changed, because it was a secret act, and Zhao Chuanxin did not expect that Zhao Chuanxin would directly disclose it to outsiders.

Zhao Chuanxin patted him on the shoulder: "Don't worry, Mr. Park is not an outsider. His patriotism can be seen by the sun and the moon."

Pu Zehu hurriedly said: "This is a major event. Although I, Pu Zehu, is only a businessman, I still have to contribute. Among other things, I will definitely do my best for your travel expenses."

Li Xiangxi was surprised, he didn't expect Pu Zehu to be willing to pay.

Good fortune is hard to give up, patriotism is patriotism, but many people are not willing to be patriotic at their own expense.

Zhao Chuanxin just gave a brief introduction, and Pu Zehu was willing to pay for it, which shows his sincerity.

Can't help but glance at Zhao Chuanxin, and Zhao Chuanxin winked at Li Xiangxi.

Li Xiangxi was stunned.

It turned out that it was revealed on purpose, presumably to know Pu Zehu's temperament.

"Thank you, Mr. Park. The history books of Daehan will definitely record Mr. Park."

Pu Zehu was very happy.

Although he is patriotic out of his heart, and may be famous in history, who can refuse?
The more businessmen you have, the better your face, and the more you like to be in the limelight.

Fame and fortune go together.

Pu Zehu said to Zhao Chuanxin again: "Mr. Zhao, what a great handwriting, not only gave the Japanese army a severe blow in Gulujiling, causing them to suffer from 'Zhao Fear', but also successfully assassinated Ito Hirobumi in Seoul. The Emperor of Japan was furious , Hasegawa is so daoist and mad! All the people in Daehan are praising Mr. Zhao's chivalrous deed!"

Speaking of this, Zhao Chuanxin was really ashamed: "Hey, hey, why are you talking about this? On Guluji Ridge, I really hurt the little devil. But about Ito Hirobumi, I actually didn't do anything, really of."

He spoke the truth, sincerely.

But Pu Zehu couldn't help but say: "Mr. Zhao is too modest. When I heard that Ito Hirobumi was assassinated by Mr. Zhao, I immediately drank three cups, so happy!"

"..."

These words made Zhao Chuanxin really... very ashamed.

Obviously he didn't do anything.

But he had to take this matter to himself.

It's all the fault of Li Xiuji, it's really troublesome.

Harmful……

Zhao Chuanxin looked up to the sky and sighed: "Hey, the great chivalrous man is for the country and the people. Maybe it's me."

The eyes of Li Xiangxi who was next to him were straightened.

I've never seen such a shameless boaster.

Pu Zehu is used to Zhao Chuanxin's character, he smiled and said: "Now I can be sure that the money I supported back then was not in vain. Mr. Zhao is a true hero who does practical things, and he is worthy of the name of the God of War!"

"It's all colleagues...ah no, it's all the opponents who set off well."

Li Xiangxi: "..."

Look, are you speaking human words?
At the same time, I also realized that Pu Zehu also funded Zhao Chuanxin, but I don't know how much.

Pu Zehu looked at the misty sea and said, "This kid wants me to build a charity hall on Ares 2 Island. Can Mr. Zhao take me to visit Ares 2 Island?"

"Okay, that's great." Zhao Chuanxin said enthusiastically, "Xian Yubin, hurry up and go."

"Okay sir."

It's just that the person is small and his strength is limited. Zhao Chuanxin felt that it was too slow.

He said, "Sit still, I will push the boat into the sea."

Pu Zehu and Li Xiangxi were dumbfounded.

Push the boat into the sea?

Never heard of it!
Zhao Chuanxin jumped into the sea without saying a word.

Everyone felt the body of the ship tremble, and the speed increased suddenly.

Xian Yubin, however, knew Zhao Chuanxin's underwater skills, and said to Snot Baby: "Keep up, let's give you a helping hand."

Pu Zehu and Li Xiangxi didn't show their faces when they saw Zhao Chuanxin for a long time.

Can't help but ask Xian Yubin: "Why hasn't Mr. Zhao surfaced yet? If you hold your breath underwater for a long time, something will happen."

People who exercise strenuously will be panting badly, and even though this small fishing boat is not big, if people swim and push it under it, they will be exhausted to death.

Xian Yubin was also sweating profusely. He panted and said, "Sir, you know magic spells, have you heard of Shui Dun? It doesn't matter. Mister can swim from the island to the pier in one breath, and even his clothes won't get wet after landing."

"Ah, this..." When Pu Zehu was doing business outside the customs, he often listened to the local Oroqen people telling stories about ghosts and ghosts.

What about inviting the gods to the upper body, what about the possession of the immortals, what about the shaman's remarks of the third master and the fifth grandma.

He'd seen people who were crazy, people whose voices had changed, and people who behaved strangely.

Even this kind of thing was introduced into Korea through the Jiandao area, and there is a certain market.

But I have never seen a real magical spell.

Today, the knife pulled the butt and opened the eyes.

He asked Xian Yubin with interest: "What is this? Shaman's magical powers? Or..."

Xian Yubin wiped the sweat from his forehead, shook his head and said, "What shaman, sir, is a mage, an archmage. This is a magic spell, the magic spell of a god."

Li Xiangxi remembered one thing: "Does Zhao Chuanxin still know the art of thunder disaster?"

Xian Yubin and You Rongyan raised their chests and protruded their stomachs: "What's the thunder calamity? Mr. Zhao also knows how to make the crops grow faster. You will know when you get to Zhanshen 2 Island."

Li Xiangxi and Pu Zehu looked at each other in blank dismay.

If there is a spell that can produce crops, it is really a fairy method.

Agriculture at this time was far less developed than later generations.

Despite the rapid development of industry and commerce, the idea that agriculture can be the foundation, and no agriculture is unstable, no business and no wealth, is still popular even in industrialized countries such as Britain, Germany and France.

Pu Zehu thought about it. There are already some industrial products in the West that can produce crops. Maybe Zhao Chuanxin used that method.

Xian Yubin didn't explain it either, they understood it after seeing it with their own eyes.

With the help of Zhao Chuanxin underwater, he soon arrived at the island of God of War 2.

Zhao Chuanxin surfaced and pushed the fishing boat forward.

Sure enough, Pu Zehu and Li Xiangxi found that Zhao Chuanxin's clothes and hair were not wet.

Pu Zehu was really curious: "Mr. Zhao, when I was outside the pass, I saw the practice of shamans. You are outside the pass. Are your spells related to shamans?"

Zhao Chuanxin looked like a lonely master: "Shamans, the soil is trickling, don't mention it here, you can't get on the stage."

Don't think he has the nickname "Grand Master".

But he himself knew what was going on.

Moreover, Zhao Chuanxin is an atheist and a firm materialist.

He has seen a lot of people who talk about gods and gods, gods and fairies.

He thought these people were ridiculous.

They can't keep up with those geomantic omens. At least they can talk about the Yin and Yang in a logical and logical manner, instead of making mysteries and talking about real diseases and false diseases.

It's not as good as some traditional Chinese medicine witchcraft and other things. People's monarchs, ministers, assistants and generals are in harmony, and they can at least justify themselves after hearing and asking.

And these shamans, if nothing else is mentioned, let them sit and discuss with Zhao Chuanxin, they can't speak cohesively, so what's the point?

When Zhao Chuanxin was in his early twenties, he used the theories of materialism, Taoism, Buddhism, Confucianism, Mohism, and Yin and Yang to discuss the Tao with a "demented" female shaman.

The results were disappointing.

It seems that knowing 500 years before and 500 years after knowing [-] years later, in fact, even the most basic philosophical thinking logic is not logical.Instead, he mentioned a series of nonsense such as Lu Dongbin.Zhao Chuanxin immediately asked her if she knew "Taiyi Jinhua Purpose", she naturally didn't know, probably Lv Dongbin's name was heard from the TV series "Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea".

They only have a trump card for fools and believers: there are some things that you have to believe in.

What are the specific things?Why can't I not believe it?What evidence?What specific miracle?Is there any magical powers other than lip service?
Not at all, anyway, it is telling you that there are some things you have to believe.

Pu Zehu said sternly: "You can't say that, there is something magical about it. There are some things that you have to believe."

"..." Zhao Chuanxin laughed unkindly:

"It is said that this kind of city fox and social mouse specially picks out the weak and weak, and those who are strong and powerful should not get close.

How much magical power do you think a god is afraid of even a healthy, normal person? "

"Forehead……"

Well fucking makes sense.

Pu Zehu couldn't refute at all.

Zhao Chuanxin continued: "My meager mana is still a bit worse than my senior brother Tathagata, although it is not much worse. It is far behind my other senior brother Li Er. But, I at least Ability to fight against the Japanese, some magical powers. What do you think they will do? The sheep in our Lugang Town is lost, and they are counted. It is obviously lost in Laoyinggou, so he has to go to Heituya to find it."

"..."

Li Xiangxi covered his face.

Pu Zehu was surprised.

Two senior brothers, one is Tathagata Buddha, and the other is Lao Tzu, Li Er.

Those shamans don't know how to do anything else.

At least in terms of pretense, they can hardly expect Zhao Chuanxing to be as good as him.

But it is impossible to refute, Zhao Chuanxin can do what he said, but those shamans can't do it, and the judgment is judged.

Only the snot-nosed children on the boat believed in Zhao Chuanxin's words.

The ship finally docked.

Everyone disembarked.

In the eyes, it is a green wheat field.

Pu Zehu was stunned.

At this time, how could the wheat seedlings grow so tall?
This looks like it's about to head, while the other places are still in the seedling stage.

How is this possible?
Even if it is catalyzed by Western industrial products, it is impossible to grow so fast.

By the way, the soil must be too fertile.

However, when he trotted over to take a look, except for a little bird droppings in the field, there was nothing but ordinary sandy soil here.

Li Xiangxi also looked at Maizi in disbelief.

He reached out and touched the straw, and found that the straw was very hard.

"How did you do it?"

Zhao Chuanxin said inscrutably: "I talked to them about life and ideals, and said to them - if a piece of wheat doesn't work hard to grow, what is the difference with salted fish? They were ashamed after hearing this, so the second The sky has worked hard to grow taller. Speaking of which, they are still ashamed."

Then, Zhao Chuanxin patted Xian Yubin on the shoulder: "So, you also have to work hard to grow and learn, work hard to hone your skills, and make a contribution to this world."

Li Xiangxi was very speechless.

But Xian Yubin and his group of snot-nosed kids nodded solemnly.

I don't know if Pu Zehu believes it or not, but he looks thoughtful anyway.

Zhao Chuanxin waved his hand: "Okay, Boss Park, you have also seen that the island of God of War No. 2 looks like this. Whether you can build a poor hall depends on your words."

"It can be built! This island is a good island. If it weren't for the distance from Jimulpo, someone would have landed and cultivated it long ago."

"That's good." Zhao Chuanxin gave a veiled smile to North Korea Yu Bin, and then said: "Actually, I came to Boss Park this time for two things."

"Mr. Zhao, please speak."

"First, have you heard of Li Xiuji? His Thunder Sect, ahem, has something to do with me. Park Seung-yeol of the God of War team, you also know. I hope Boss Park can become the two groups People's brokers, let them cooperate sincerely against the Japanese."

Zhao Chuanxin couldn't find Li Xiuji anymore. This guy is mysterious now, his behavior is very sneaky, and his actions are not open enough.

He was about to leave Korea now, so he had to ask Park Zehu to contact him.

"Second, I want to leave Daehan. The Japanese are looking for me, so I can't go by land. I hope Boss Park will help me and send me back to Daqing by sea."

Pu Zehu breathed a sigh of relief, thinking what a great event it was.

He nodded hurriedly: "No problem, I just do shipping, it's easy to handle."

At this time, Xian Yubin pointed to the sea and said, "Sir, Captain Park Shengyeol is here."

Everyone turned their heads and saw a fishing boat moored by the island, and a few people got off it.

The leader is Park Seung Yeol, whom he hasn't seen for a long time!
