mage in the late qing dynasty

Chapter 696: Those who achieve great things are only ninety-nine familiar
On the second day, Zhao Chuanxin got up very early as usual and rarely practiced balancing skills.

After practicing, while it was still dark, he took out the iron block he purchased, activated the Old God's Crucible Brand, and the iron block turned into red molten iron.

Zhao Chuanxin stretched the molten iron.

The Old God's Crucible Brand quickly absorbs heat, reheats the old sacred fire, cools quickly and returns to red, refines the grains, increases strength, and maintains toughness.

This process eliminates the need for heat straightening and allows for one-step shaping.

A large number of impurities peel off from the surface of the steel pipe.

Zhao Chuanxin picked up the two-meter-long steel pipe. It was no longer hot.

The Old God's Crucible Brand can generate heat and also recover heat.

Steel pipes have no subsequent tempering or quenching procedures and can only be used once.

He found a training ground, erected stone pillars, and embedded steel pipes into them to make horizontal bars.

I also pulled the horizontal bar and did thirty pull-ups in one go. It was very firm and no problem.

According to the standards of the Lugang Town Insurance Team, Zhao Chuanxin planned a training venue.

The camel bell rang. This was Gulizar's camel. It usually didn't get close to others, but it was only willing to come to Zhao Chuanxin, because Zhao Chuanxin would sometimes feed it a handful of beans.

Today is no exception.

After feeding the beans, the camel still didn't want to leave, so Zhao Chuanxin slapped it in the mouth and said, "Get out."

Then the camel ran away.

After serving breakfast for Qi Zhenlu and the others, it was time for them to hit the road.

Qi Zhenlu put down his chopsticks and patted his belly. The food was so good. No wonder the foreigner named Morrison called this place a fairyland.

Qi Zhenlu clasped his fists: "Shopkeeper Zhao, there is no such thing as a feast that never ends..."

"You are right." Zhao Chuanxin said happily: "Unless you treat me next time, I can eat with you for a while."

Qi Zhenlu: "..."

Zhao Chuanxin sent them out.

The rather sinister Qi Zhenhai suddenly asked: "Shopkeeper Zhao, are you doing these things to gain fame?"

"Do not."

"Then you are seeking profit?"

"Do not."

Qi Zhenhai's tone became aggressive: "You neither ask for fame nor seek profit, so what are your intentions?"

Qi Zhenlu scolded: "Zhenhai, shut up."

Zhao Chuanxin waved his hand to show his strength, and then asked Qi Zhenhai: "Let me ask you too. Do you know the Tao Te Ching?"

Qi Zhenhai was slightly startled: "I know."

After all, my brother is a Wu scholar, and he is also educated.

Zhao Chuanxin asked again: "Then do you know me?"

"know."

"Then do you know why I wrote the De Jing?"

"This... I don't know."

Zhao Chuanxin bared his teeth: "Because I am happy!"

Qi Zhenhai: "..."

He reacted, a flash of irritation flashing across his face.

Qi Zhenlu smiled bitterly, and then scolded: "Stop being embarrassed, why don't you come with me?"

Li Feihu solemnly clasped his fists at Zhao Chuanxin, who finally rescued him from the cell.

Zhao Chuanxin nodded casually.

Wait for them to go away.

There was suddenly a strange sound among the people seeing him off.

Liu Ai said angrily: "Bald boy, what the hell did you eat to make your farts smell so smelly?"

Guo Tuwa was holding a horse spoon with an innocent face, but after being stared at by Liu Ai for a while, she sneered and backed away, which was regarded as acquiescence.

Zhao Chuanxin hid in the wind and sneered: "Liu Ai, you are so heartless that a snake swallows an elephant. A sniff is enough, but you still want the formula?"

The crowd laughed.

Li Laoduo laughed the most happily.

Zhao Chuanxin also laughed, and his smile was meaningful.

He clapped his hands: "It's time to work, it's time to train, it's time to train."

Gulizar jumped up and ran behind Zhao Chuanxin, wanting to work with him.

Zhao Chuanxin said: "I just saw a ewe about to give birth to a lamb. You should go and have a look."

After saying that, he whispered to Wang about changing his name, and then headed towards the construction site.

As soon as he heard that the baby was about to be born, Gulizal hurriedly ran away, the ponytail on the back of his head being shiny and black, flicking back and forth.

When Li Laoduo saw it, he felt very excited.

He smiled obscenely, went into the restaurant and quietly stole two pieces of fried buns left over from yesterday, and then picked up the Guanshan knife, as if he was going to practice swordsmanship, but he headed in the direction of Gulizal intentionally or unintentionally.

Gulizal ran into the flock and took a look. The lamb born yesterday could already kneel down to suck milk, while the other ewes with big bellies showed no signs of giving birth.

She looked at the old wolf in confusion, but the old wolf stared behind her.

Gulizal turned around and found Li Laoduo sneaking into the deep grass.

In this pasture, the wild growth is generally taller than a human being.

There is no need to water the stinking liquid every day, as they are already difficult to die.

Gulizal was carrying a machete this time. She drew the knife and asked coldly: "What are you going to do?"

Li Laoduo held the knife in its scabbard and didn't pay attention at all.

He smiled lewdly and said: "What are you doing? Haha, life is like this oasis, and you can't leave for a while, so why not live happily!"

At this time, a cold voice came from behind him: "No, life is like taking a bath, the temperature is wrong, the water is deep and hot."

Li Laoduo turned his head in shock and saw Zhao Chuanxin standing behind him.

Not far behind Zhao Chuanxin, there were Wang Changming and a group of swordsmen, and even Guo Tuwa and Morrison who had not left were also here.

Gulizar was relieved and immediately smiled happily.

She proved one thing: What a heroic bear, if something happens to her, Zhao Chuanxin will not just sit idly by.

As for Li Laoduo, a stiff smile appeared on his face: "Shopkeeper Zhao is just a woman. Those who achieve great things do not stick to trivial matters. If there is anything you are dissatisfied with, I will definitely change it in the future." Zhao Chuanxin also smiled: "Well, I'm very dissatisfied with you being alive. I hope you can get over it."

Li Laoduo: "..."

He lowered his face and shouted to the group of swordsmen: "Dunzi, Guotiaoer, we are friends in adversity, you can't just sit back and watch."

Dunzi and Guotieer looked at each other and didn't move.

Li Laoduo pulled out the knife with a groan.

Zhao Chuanxin did not retreat but advanced, walking forward with bare hands.

Li Laoduo looked ferocious and rushed forward with his sword drawn.

Zhao Chuanxin stretched out his left hand and pointed his sword.

Li Laoduo suddenly screamed and let go of the hand holding the knife.

His palms were burning and smoking.

His Guanshan knife turned bright red, and the non-metallic part had ignited, burning into ashes in an instant.

The metal blade turned into red molten iron.

Zhao Chuanxin turned over his palm, and the molten metal splashed down, burning Li Laoduo's left foot to black.

Li Laoduo let out a howl that was not like a human voice, and even the old wolf was so frightened that he clamped his tail.

Wang Gaiming, Liu Ai, Morrison and others were all frightened.

The smell of barbecue filled the air.

Zhao Chuanxin bared his teeth and looked at Li Laoduo: "To achieve great things, you need to be ninety percent familiar."

Reaching out his hand, a ball of flame enveloped Li Laoduo.

He couldn't even scream because his head was burned to ashes first.

Then there is the body.

The burning speed was very fast. In less than 20 seconds, Li Laoduo was reduced to ashes.

Zhao Chuanxin raised his hand, a stream of particles appeared, and the strong wind blew away the ashes.

Frustrated.

Everyone shuddered.

Zhao Chuanxin walked over and patted Gulizar on the head: "Next time if something happens, tell me immediately."

Everyone else is afraid, but Gulizar is not afraid.

She pursed her lips and said "hmm" softly.

Zhao Chuanxin turned around and said to everyone: "Flying in the sky, being a beast can only be slaughtered. I hope everyone will take this as a warning and not modify their attributes without authorization. Okay, just go ahead and do what you have to do."

After saying that, he put his hands behind his back and went to build the fortress wall.

Only then did the cold hair on Wang Gaiming's body fall down.

Zhao Chuanxin called him before and secretly brought everyone over.

Then saw this scene.

Wang changed his name and understood.

Among the swordsmen, there are many who commit murder and set fire.

Zhao Chuanxin is killing the chicken to show the monkey.

Flying in the sky is like a dragon coiled up or a tiger lying down.

Undoubtedly, he succeeded.

Li Laoduo died tragically.

It was so miserable that everyone present would have nightmares when they returned home.

Zhao Chuanxin, who was carrying out construction work, stood on the newly erected wall and looked into the distance.

He said to himself: "Little mouse, that little shriveled calf, why haven't you been picking up dung lately?"

……

The little mouse was peeping at the door of the school for girls.

His family originally lived near Ganzhou Prefecture, but years of drought caused half of the people in his village to starve to death. His parents adopted him to live with relatives in Liangzhou.

What this kid can’t part with the most is the snacks flying in the sky.

I thought of puff pastry buns and tiger-skinned eggs, and of the sweet sugar balls in my mouth. The little mouse catching lice under the school wall swallowed his saliva, and unconsciously bit the lice with his front teeth until they crunched.

The teacher in the school is Miss He. It is said that Miss He has gone to Japan to study and is related to the Haraqin Palace. It can be said that she has a "noble" background.

Families with a certain status who can teach in such a remote place are willing to send their female relatives to study.

For example, the Jin gentry in various districts of Liangzhou, even the county magistrate Mei Shunan, and some famous gentry landlords, such as the Qi family.

Miss He's real name is He Huizhen. She has a face like a full moon, a pale eyebrow, a fair complexion, and a well-educated temperament. She is already past the age of hairpins, but she has not yet gotten married.

With a kind face, she greeted Miss Mei, the daughter of the magistrate of Mei County, and said: "Ms. Mei, when you go back, don't study at night. It will damage your eyes for a lifetime. Wearing glasses is not good-looking."

Miss Mei nodded obediently: "Yes."

Then there is the young lady of the Jin gentry Wang family and the Li family. He Huizhen is also caring and caring.

She speaks harmoniously and has a picturesque look, which always makes people feel like spring breeze.

When it was the turn of Miss Qi, who was just an ordinary and well-off family, He Huizhen's attitude changed slightly, and she nodded reservedly to Miss Qi, but said nothing.

When school was over and she went out, she saw a little mouse squatting in the corner catching lice. He Huizhen frowned, and a trace of disgust flashed across her face.

When the little mouse saw He Huizhen, he was excited and nervous. His face turned red to his ears, and he happily greeted: "Miss He."

He Huizhen didn't even pay attention to him.

But the little mouse's interest was not diminished. Because of the hot weather, his dirty clothes were very thin, revealing two rugged arms with a total of two ounces of flesh, and a hole in his chest that he had no time to patch.

He hurriedly caught up with He Huizhen: "Miss He, are you going home?"

He Huizhen said "hmm" lightly, very coldly.

After not walking far, a man came forward.

It was Qi Zhenhai who had just flown back from the sky.

Qi Zhenhai saw He Huizhen and said with joy, "Miss He."

He Huizhen had a slight smile on her face, not very enthusiastic, but very polite, and there seemed to be some appreciation in her politeness.

In short, the expression makes people only dare to look at it from a distance but not to play with it, but it is also slightly fascinating.

When the little mouse saw it, he was instantly jealous...
