mage in the late qing dynasty

Chapter 525 Old Sacred Altar
After drifting in the sea for more than a month, Zhao Chuanxin was weak and slept very restlessly.

Now down to earth, sleeping on a soft bed, touching N to sleep, really is a kind of enjoyment.

Woke up the next morning, the sun was shining and the weather was just right.

Miao Cuihua is no longer here. During this period of time, Zhao Chuanxin gave up the balance technique because of imbecility and substandard movements, but Miao Cuihua continued to practice diligently.

Zhao Chuanxin called Li Zhitao, who was in charge of protecting him, and asked, "Do you remember that boneyard? That Kong Wu powerful masseuse?"

I still remember that when I went to the boneyard to relax, the masseuse's technique was quite in place.

Li Zhitao's eyes lit up: "Remember, master, she and I are going to get married soon."

"..."

Walter's Falk?
Li Zhitao saw Zhao Chuanxin's thoughts: "Do you want her to loosen your bones?"

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

I'm getting married soon, and you still tell me this?
He thought of that woman who was big and thick, and Li Zhitao also had a short neck like a bull and a sideways one. The offspring must be a boy, otherwise it would be useless.

Zhao Chuanxin was about to go back to refresh the "Old God Code", when a member of the adjudication team hurried over outside, and whispered a few words to Li Zhitao.

Li Zhitao said: "Take people across the sea, we are not like a dragon crossing the river."

Zhao Chuanxin faintly heard the word "trouble" and asked, "What's the matter? Trouble?"

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

Shushan is the name of Xuantianzong's place in Ao Island.

The subordinate said: "Boss, our people found out that they want to find a card expert to explore the field, and if we win so much, we can't continue driving."

Li Zhitao was full of confidence at first, but he smiled when he heard this.

Telling him to fight and kill others is fine, but asking him to play those delicate tasks is not good.

He said distressedly: "Brothers, does anyone know any master gambling players in the Jianghu?"

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

Li Zhitao was a little bit blind.

Zhao Chuanxin suggested: "Is it okay if you don't let him in?"

Li Zhitao: "..."

Good suggestion, don't suggest it next time.

Shushan has set many thresholds, such as the limit of exchange chips, such as the venue itself does not lend money, nor does it allow others to lend money.

No opium allowed.

Only wine and sex are allowed to add to the fun.

Open the door to do business, if you stop people, you may not be able to continue your business.

Shushan, among the many venues on Ao Island, is quite like a bar in a bar.

Other casinos have foreign names, such as Grand Lisboa, Venetian, Galaxy, etc., but Shushan is very fairy, and the rules are also very fairy.

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

Zhao Chuanxin said with a smile: "Forget it, go get busy, you don't have to protect me."

"That can't be done, I..." Li Zhitao's eyes lit up suddenly after he finished speaking: "Master, you know spells, why don't you go to Shushan to sit in the town, and everyone who is a master or not will return home without a feather?"

"You are so confused." Zhao Chuanxin said, "I am a clean-spirited person, and I don't even understand the rules of cards."

He is sworn to death with gambling and drugs.

"It doesn't matter, the rules are very simple, and sometimes I just try my luck." The more Li Zhitao thought about it, the more reliable it became. "I heard that these card masters all have spells. Otherwise, how could they keep winning? When the time comes, the master only needs to destroy his spells."

"Superstition!" Zhao Chuanxin scolded.

"..." Everyone calls you a mage, and you call me superstitious?Li Zhitao sighed: "To tell you the truth, the head, our business is about to fail. Not only does Shushan belong to the headquarters of Xuantianzong, but because deputy head Li can't get together the money, we employees also have shares."

Zhao Chuanxin was stunned.

Li Guangzong still has this kind of coquettish operation?

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

Zhao Chuanxin hesitated again and again, thinking that it would be good to go to the island of Australia. One day in the future, he would not only drive away the British on Hong Kong Island, but also the Portuguese on the island of Australia.

The scene in Shushan was not out of his original intention, it was just to let go after the goal was achieved.

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

Zhao Chuanxin is confident: "It will be fine on the way, I have already grasped the time."

He has made up his mind to go.

Miao Cuihua repeatedly reminded her not to cause extra problems on the road, but to restrain her temper and 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 "Old Gods Code".

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

[I will give a quarter of the root of the starry sky 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 the root of the starry sky only a quarter?Where did the rest go? 】

【I'll tell you about being besieged by the remnants of creatures, telling it that three-quarters of it has been eaten by me, but I didn't mention that I died many times. 】

[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 potion's efficacy 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's life was reduced by 9 years.

Now not only make up for it, but also have an extra 13 years of life.

On the boat, Zhao Chuanxin's face turned ruddy visibly.

Li Zhitao was still preaching from the side: "Master, I just said, you should come out to see the scenery, your complexion is much better than before."

"..."

If it wasn't for the 13-year increase in life expectancy to make up for the shortfall in the body, would the improvement be better?

Zhao Chuanxin ignored him, and after closing his eyes to feel the comfort of enlightenment, he continued to stare at the "Old God Code", writing:
[I asked the goblin: What is that test tube for? 】

Zhao Chuanxin has always been curious about this.

[The goblin shook the test tube containing the purple liquid and said: This is a culture solution, and I will use it to cultivate a parasitic speech organ. 】

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

[Goblin explanation: A part of the blue ghost armor we cut last time does not have the function of expression, we need to let 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 possible, can you send me one? 】

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

[The goblin shakes his head: It's a pity, 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 bid farewell to the goblin and find the weirdo. 】

[I asked the weirdo to help me contact the city-state's Ministry of Defense officials. 】

[The officials received me. 】

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

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

According to Zhao Chuanxin's character, it is definitely not a rabbit or a hawk.

How can you hand it over if you don't give benefits?
But he was immersed in the joy of sublimation of vitality after gaining life span.If one is not careful, those documents will be handed over by "I", a good person.

[The official looked at it and 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 powerful allies, for which we are grateful.This time, you made a contribution again. 】

[It turns out that the officials found clues to the reality of their evacuation from these documents and the records of the flow of various materials left over from the living beings. 】

[This is extremely valuable for them to launch a counterattack to the bloody wasteland. 】

[After communicating with colleagues, the official said to me: Fearless Pioneer, after careful discussion, we have decided to reward you for 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 was called by ancient humans—the divine essence, the old god who is closest to human beings.The sacred essence is the only old god who is undoubtedly worshiped by ancient humans. According to legend, he is the embodiment of dark matter in the universe.In order to prevent the destruction of the world, the divine essence shattered its body, turned into a hundred altars, and scattered them all over 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 it instantly. 】

Zhao Chuanxin was stunned, flashing?

Will it hit a wall?
[In the city-state civilization, there are only a handful of people who have been awarded the old sacred altar, and there are only three people in total. 】

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

It’s been a long time since there was a reward item. According to the rules of the "Old Gods Code", the reward item is double, "I" has it, and Zhao Chuanxin also has it.

Simply a surprise.

The group of leaders in the city-state were so thoughtful that they were willing to spend their money this time, thinking that it was another title deducted.

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

Before that, Zhao Chuanxin suspected that the old gods were all short, and seeing the appearance of the altar now, he was even more convinced of this.

It is only as big as the belly of a thumb, shaped like an eight-pointed star, and each star has a hole.

Without waiting for Zhao Chuanxin's next move, the "Old God Code" continued to be updated, which attracted his attention.

[The official of the Ministry of Defense said: Fearless Pioneer, at the same time, we have a task for you.We found from the documents of the remnants of the creatures that they sent a force to enter the northern border of the Shadow Forest through the Ghost Valley, in an attempt to provoke the Nine Clans War in the Shadow Forest again, and drive some of the Shadow Forest tribes 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, trying to disrupt our rhythm.

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

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

[I have two options:

One: Accept the task, and I will become the only person in the history of city-state civilization who has two old sacred altars.

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

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

He paid dearly for his greed, and this time he did not hesitate to write:

[I choose the second. 】

Lie flat.

[Officials of the Ministry of Defense leave disappointed. 】

Next, "I" basks in the sun every day to heal my wounds.

Zhao Chuanxin closed the "Old God Code".

He put the old sacred altar in his palm, chanted the mantra silently, and communicated spiritually with the old sacred altar with the power of his thoughts.

The altar changed from a dusty appearance to a translucent crystal, and thin lines that no one else could see gathered from all directions.

The direction of Liaodi, the direction of Lugang Town, the direction of floods in the first generation of the Yangtze River, the direction of Hong Kong Island, and some scattered directions overseas. The thin lines are mainly drawn from these directions.

These are people who have been favored by Zhao Chuanxin, the power of faith from the heart.

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

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

What is faith?
It is said that the movement of matter can be changed by the influence of human will.Faith is also a will.

What is dark matter?
Theoretically speaking, it is an invisible substance that may exist in the universe.

Darkness is just a state, not good or evil.

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

Baichuan Chaohai, cumulus into rain.

Faith gathers and returns to the old sacred altar, as if a liquid is born, and the bottom of the old sacred altar is faintly visible, like a progress bar.

Zhao Chuanxin's master and apprentice opened the Holy Light Channel, but nothing happened.

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

He took out a nail, nailed it to the cabin with the back of an axe, tied the rope, and braided three strands of braid with a corn knot at the bottom, and wore two turquoise bucket beads as accessories at the joint, and a braid at the bottom. The old sacred altar is draped and eventually hung around the neck.

After adjusting the elastic knot, it was stacked up and down with the secret pendant, and Zhao Chuanxin was surprised to wear it in a trick.

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