mage in the late qing dynasty

Chapter 1011: Stealing Heaven's Secret and Level 10 Light Blade

During the bloody spring outside the Great Wall, Zhao Chuanxin had not returned to Kuitshalan for a long time, or rather, he only rested in the underground fortress when he went back and never showed up.

Aguirre Ida couldn't find him, and Pablo came several times.

The four core members of the Quetshalan Country Cavalry Patrol were so anxious that they even thought that Zhao Chuanxin had fled after hearing that the Executioner General was going to deal with him.

Then, they would also have to flee with the property deposited in the White House Tavern.

Aguilera Ida sighed: "Why hasn't Don John Constantine come back yet?"

Pablo sighed, "If we don't come back, we'll all be wiped out."

It turned out that Pablo had received word that the executioner general Victoriano Huerta had led his troops against Emiliano Zapata and had stabilized his position.

At this time, the government was distracted and sent several additional rural cavalry patrol teams to jointly enforce the law, and they were heading towards Quetshalan.

There were rifles like a forest, all of them fierce and ferocious. The bullet belts were tightly bolted, and the sight of them made me feel cold all over.

The few melons and dates from Quetshalan are not enough for them to celebrate the festival.

At this moment, the tension in the four people's minds was about to break, but Don John Constantine had not appeared yet.

But what should I do?

……

Kang Youwei was on business in Torreón. When he heard that things were not peaceful in Mexico recently, he decided to leave immediately.

The Royalist Party has now spread all over the world.

But since the death of Cixi and Guangxu, many members lost hope and defected to Sun Gongwu's Tongmenghui.

This caused Kang Youwei's income to drop sharply.

Many people thought that he was a good investor, and even Zhao Chuanxin thought that Kang Youwei was a good money-maker.

But in fact, Kang Youwei made some blind investments.

Some make money, some lose money.

For example, he heard that Mexico had been building railways in recent years and that government offices often occupied land, so he came to Mexico a few years ago to borrow money from the bank to buy land and speculate on it.

However, the Mexican government discovered that land prices were rising and intervened last year. Coupled with the war, land prices plummeted.

Kang Youwei lost everything.

Even his shipping business was affected.

In recent years, Kang Youwei discovered the Royalist Society as a way to make money. He had been accustomed to a life of luxury, but now his life was difficult. In addition to suppressing the Sun Gongwude revolutionaries in various places, he even started to engage in gangster activities, turning the Royalist Society into a local evil force.

For example, when overseas Chinese come to a foreign country or return to China to invest, they will naturally seek help from local Chinese connections.

At this time, Kang Youwei took advantage of the situation and paid him a "toll".

There was a Chinese businessman named Liu Shenqi who went overseas and looked for wealthy overseas Chinese in Mexico to raise funds, preparing to return to Shandong to open mines, build roads and establish a bank.

The people of Shandong were clamoring for the imperial court to take back the mining rights around the German railways. Liu Shenqi was one of them. However, the investment amount was huge and the local gentry could not raise the money, so they had to go overseas to raise funds.

When Kang Youwei learned about this, he heard that Liu Shenqi and his group wanted to build a big family business, so he simply asked for a controlling stake in their company and even wanted to take it as the "property" of the Royalist Party.

Liu Shenqi naturally disagreed and had a falling out with Kang Youwei.

Kang Youwei first sent people to intimidate and beat Liu Shenqi.

He immediately bribed local officials in Torreón, Mexico, and arrested and detained Liu Shenqi on false charges.

Liu Shenqi had some acquaintances with wealthy overseas Chinese businessmen. When communication with them in Mexico failed, he contacted the Qing government's ambassador to the United States to intervene. However, the United States shirked its responsibility by claiming that the incident did not happen in its country.

It is really like crying to heaven and earth for help, but there is no one to turn to.

It was impossible to let Kang Youwei hold controlling stake, but Liu Shenqi still extorted a large sum of money from Kang Youwei before releasing him.

Kang Youwei took the money and prepared to leave Mexico, this troubled place.

At the dock, Kang Youwei said to the members of the Royalist Society: "I feel the national crisis and the people's livelihood. I am dedicated to saving the country every day. But Liu Shenqi is a wicked gentry who is rich but unkind and unwilling to help the country. It is really hateful. Although he has paid money now, it is just a drop in the bucket for them. After I leave, you can bring knives and sticks to force him to surrender. If he still refuses to surrender, call the police to arrest him. It is better not to let this scourge return to the country."

The bandit-like congregation agreed.

Someone asked Kang Youwei hesitantly, "Zhao the butcher is keeping a close eye on Master Kang. Recently, someone has been asking about you."

Kang Youwei spat, "Bah, in principle I am not afraid of him. But now the principle is in his hands, so I have no choice but to go far away to avoid the limelight."

Kang Youwei suddenly remembered the news he had heard recently, that Zhao the butcher had skinned and pulled out the tendons of a Japanese man named Tono Takaki.

Kang is a proud man, but he can't stop his legs from trembling slightly...

……

At this time, Zhao Chuanxin was taking his two apprentices to visit the factory invested by Benjamin Goldberg.

Zhao Chuanxin took out the blueprint and handed it to his eldest disciple: "I want you to make a batch of combat uniforms as soon as possible."

Benjamin Goldberg took a stack of drawings and looked at them with Yao Bing.

The soldier in the first picture is fully armed from head to toe.

The pair of gloves shown at the back are suitable for Asian hands. The base of the thumb is reinforced with cowhide and the main body of the glove is marked with a material called four-sided hemp. The tips of the index finger and thumb and the inside of the other four fingers have black resin stripes for anti-slip. There are four raised pieces of black resin on the back of the hand for protection.

The name of the gloves is written below - Living Bodhisattva Tactical Gloves.

The second drawing is a pair of boots.

The main body of the boots is made of suede leather, and the inner lining is waterproof, windproof and breathable. The yellow tree resin outsole will not slip even if you step on stones with water. The heel and toe are thickened for protection. The insole is soft and the shoelaces have locking function.

From the hat to the sole, the materials are solid and the performance is maximized.

Benjamin Goldberg asked: "Master, there are so many things written on it, I don't know what they are..."

"I'm providing you with the materials, they are very valuable, you must make good use of them and avoid wasting them."

Yao Bing saw that the thing in the painting was beautiful and the clothes were impressive, so he said to Benjamin Goldberg, "Big Brother, when you make it, I will use my savings to buy a set."

Benjamin Goldberg patted his head and said, "You're still growing. I'll give you a set every year. We don't have to talk about money."

Zhao Chuanxin bared his teeth: "You are very generous."

Four-sided linen is produced in the brilliant oasis. As the name suggests, each strand of linen has four edges. This kind of linen fabric is hydrophobic and breathable. After sweating, it evaporates quickly and dries up. It is breathable and wear-resistant. Whether it is for combat or daily training, it is much better than the current fabric.

It is very valuable. One gold coin can buy four-sided linen worth 1 black dragon horns.

Cordyceps fiber is produced in the coastal areas of the Cursed Desert. 1 gold coin can buy 200 black dragon horns.

Yellow tree resin, soft, wear-resistant and non-slip, 1 gold coin can buy 200 balls of sand.

Every set of combat uniforms designed by Zhao Chuanxin is worth a lot of money.

After sorting all the materials into different categories and storing them in the warehouse, Zhao Chuanxin finally told Benjamin Goldberg: "You've come out for a walk, and you've had enough of hanging out. If you have nothing else to do, go back to the sky."

"Ah..." Benjamin Goldberg said hurriedly, "I will continue to invest heavily in Lubin Prefecture to support its construction, and teach my junior brother some skills."

Seeing that he was unwilling to return to the sky, Zhao Chuanxin gave up.

Come to think of it, how could flying in the sky compare to the ever-changing and colorful Lubin Prefecture?

……

Yanbian.

Ge Yunpeng woke up from the nightmare with sweat all over his forehead, gasping with his mouth wide open, like a dehydrated fish.

"Zhao, you scared me to death."

In his dream, he witnessed Zhao Chuanxin tearing off a Japanese man's chin and wrists alive, skinning him, and finally frying him in a pan.

The scene of blood and flesh flying everywhere was like hell.

Soon after, Tachibana Koichirō launched a revenge, and the Japanese army sent five divisions to invade. The Beishui Army was unable to hold on alone and was beaten to pieces, and Ge Yunpeng was captured.

Tachibana Koichirō ordered Ge Yunpeng to be tortured and killed, and his eyeballs were gouged out, just like the dead Liu Yonghe...

Ge Yunpeng was immediately awakened by the fright. He lit a candle, and the shadow in his heart was relieved a little.

He didn't blame others, but his own curiosity. When he went to Maoshan County to search for Japanese soldiers' bodies and pick up equipment, he saw the body of Takaki Tono.

The head without the lower jaw was burned by Zhao Chuanxin to remove all the flesh and blood and taken away to commemorate Liu Yonghe.

But the lower jaw and skinless body were still there.

Even though Ge Yunpeng was used to seeing corpses, he still vomited on the spot.

After that, I had nightmares every night and lost a lot of weight.

He quickly put on his clothes, went out and called the guards: "Quick, continue to send more people to patrol the border to prevent the Japs from invading."

Military advisor Jin Wuzhi heard that Ge Yunpeng had another nightmare, so he hurried over and said in embarrassment: "Brigade Commander, we are short of manpower to begin with, and we have sent all the people we can. If the Japanese really come from somewhere, we won't have time to gather more people."

Ge Yunpeng: “…”

……

After Zhao Chuanxin finished his work in Lubin Prefecture, he teleported Eye No. 5 and flew into the sky.

It was already late when the news came. Zhao Chuanxin did not go back to the restaurant to disturb others, but rode the third-generation dragon to Peace College. He took out a recliner on the stone platform, put on his glasses and looked at the starry sky. It was quiet around him, as if the stars blinked more frequently when there was no sound to disturb them.

It should be above the desert. There is a lack of solar disturbance at night, the ionosphere is more stable, and the starry sky is particularly bright.

Zhao Chuanxin took out the "Old God Code".

[I have built an underground passage outside the blood and stolen goods den of Rune City.]

[I sell paper and gold coins and ask the director of the mint to print money for me. ]

Because of the mark left on his body by the demon, the Fearless Vanguard lived a life without seeing the sun for a long time.

Zhao Chuanxin asked the Fearless Vanguard to go back to the Shadow Forest to dig soil and transport it to the base of the Peace Academy.

The black soil around him piled up higher and higher, and the digging puppets were busy dividing the soil and transporting it to various places.

[I went to the forest elves’ land and was surprised to see an elf scout.]

[The elf scout told me: On that day when we separated, I finally reached Green Harbor. During the voyage, someone on the ship was infected with the demon virus, and I discovered it. After a fierce battle, the few remaining crew members survived and returned to Middle-earth.]

[The chief of the forest elves gave me the wish-fulfilling mushroom as promised.]

Zhao Chuanxin was overjoyed.

With the experience of swallowing the Wishes Come True Mushroom last time, Zhao Chuanxin was very careful this time and cherished every minute and every second.

His light blade rune has been cultivated to level 4, so after taking the Wishes Come True Mushroom, he uses the ability to emit level 5 light blades normally as the basis for judging whether the drug is effective.

On the sixth try, the level 5 light blade was successfully used.

Zhao Chuanxin thought it was the effect of the drug, but Xingyue whispered in his ear: "This is not the effect of the wish-fulfilling mushroom, this is the potential that has exploded under your own psychological effects."

Zhao Chuanxin was completely stunned.

Am I a genius in essence?
He hurriedly practiced the level 6 rune again and successfully mastered it again.

For a moment, Zhao Chuanxin couldn't tell whether it was an illusion or reality.

Level 7 Light Blade Rune.

Level 8 Light Blade Rune.

Level 9 Light Blade Rune.

I'm only halfway through level 10, but I just can't go any further.

The effect of the medicine has worn off.

Zhao Chuanxin looked up at the starry sky, with dragons on his left and tigers on his right, Mars above him, and his spear piercing the air...

With chaotic signs of war, famine, plague, etc. looming in the sky, Zhao Chuanxin thought he was still in a dream.

So he tried to use the level 10 Light Blade Rune again, and it worked successfully.

The light blade is level 10, can be up to 10 meters long and as short as a grain of rice, shoots like an arrow and is as still as a knife.

Zhao Chuanxin snapped his fingers, and a blade of light shot out and disappeared a hundred meters away.

You no longer need a light blade gun to activate the light blade.

After mastering the runes through level cultivation methods, his abilities have surpassed those of the Old Desert Emperor.

Zhao Chuanxin couldn't figure out whether it was an illusion or reality, so he walked into the glass cover and buried the seeds of the shining star in the soil.

Take out the foundation stone of the ladder and pour in the smelly liquid.

The tender sprouts did not break through the soil, and Zhao Chuanxin breathed a sigh of relief, indicating that this was not an illusion, otherwise his wish would come true and the seed would immediately grow into a towering tree.

He asked Xingyue: "Am I in a hallucination, or is this reality?"

Xingyue said: "In the illusion."

Zhao Chuanxin was shocked: "How is it possible?"

He thought of the tablet of spiritual consciousness and recalled the contents recorded on it regarding the shining star.

Just as I was thinking about it, tender sprouts broke through the soil.

In a moment it grew to knee-high, and a drop of sap secreted from the top.

Zhao Chuanxin hurriedly took out the test tube, manipulated Lord Runzhi's greetings to put the drop of sap into the test tube, released the black puppet craftsman, and let Xingyue manipulate the black puppet craftsman to use a needle dipped in the sap to tattoo a complex pattern on his back.

The six puppet arms of the black puppet craftsman almost became afterimages, and the needles fell like rain, stabbing extremely fast.

Zhao Chuanxin looked up and saw a star that was invisible to the naked eye suddenly flashed in the darkness near the Tianjin Four Stars in the summer night triangle in the night sky.

The star shines with a fog-like light, and the flow of time seems to speed up. A thousand years pass in the blink of an eye, and the light travels through thousands of light years and radiates in all directions.

Zhao Chuanxin shouldn't have known what these lights meant, but he knew at this moment that this was not light, but some kind of energy.

There was no reaction when the energy touched other planets, but it only reacted when it touched the Earth. To be more precise, it was the sapling of the Peace Academy in the desert. The energy was suddenly absorbed by the sapling like a trickle of water.

When Xingyue perfected the tattoo on Zhao Chuanxin's back, the energy was split, and a part of it gathered towards Zhao Chuanxin, but it seemed that it could not find a way out and was excluded, always circling around him.

The energy arrives and then dissipates, and then comes again, continuously and tirelessly.

He stretched out his hand and a protective shield appeared around him.

He turned his palm over and the protective shield retracted onto his palm.

A stone tablet appeared in front of him. He slapped the retracted protective shield on the stone tablet. The protective shield suddenly expanded and the stone tablet was shattered into pieces by the sudden force.

At this moment, Zhao Chuanxin felt refreshed and the pain in his back disappeared.

When his blurred vision became clear again, Zhao Chuanxin looked around. Where was the black puppet craftsman? Where was the shattered stone tablet?
He asked Xingyue: "What happened just now?"

Star Moon said, "You buried the seeds of the Brilliant Star in the soil, poured the foul liquid, and the seeds sprouted and secreted sap. You used the greetings of the Lord of Moisten to gather the sap behind you. There is nothing else."

Zhao Chuanxin asked again: "Did I talk to you?"

"No."

Zhao Chuanxin: "..."

He looked down and saw a small sapling growing out of the soil.

He took off his shirt, took a bronze eye and placed it behind his back, letting the stars and the moon show the scene behind him in the glasses, but there was nothing.

This wish-fulfillment phenomenon was so powerful that he couldn't even distinguish between fantasy and reality.

Zhao Chuanxin recalled the contents about the brilliant star in the scroll of his spiritual consciousness.

His mind moved, and he manipulated according to the contents, and an almost transparent protective shield silently appeared around him.

It was exactly the kind that Brilliant Oasis had seen - the Golden Bell Cover.

Zhao Chuanxin looked at the sapling, then at the transparent shield. It was clearly not provided by the Bright Star. It was like a rune, relying on some kind of energy that was omnipresent in the universe.

He spread out his palms and compressed the golden bell.

After a moment, the Golden Bell Cover was restored.

Zhao Chuanxin jumped onto the sand outside and pushed the contracted golden bell to the ground.

A large hole with a radius of one meter was blasted into the sand, and sand and rocks flew everywhere.

This is something that is not contained in the Divine Consciousness Sutra. It is an ability that Zhao Chuanxin spontaneously realized after taking the Wishes Come True Mushroom.

The content about the brilliant star in the Divine Consciousness is called - Stealing Heaven's Secrets.

As Jian Zhong said, the Brilliant Star stole the energy emitted by a star in the sky. Some people have discovered the method of stealing, but have not been able to replicate it.

After Zhao Chuanxin took the wish-fulfilling mushroom, he hit the mark accidentally in his hallucination and somehow succeeded.

He tried the level 10 Light Blade Rune again, and the light blade shot out from his hand, cutting a tiny hole in a wall of the Peace Academy.

The armor-piercing effect is first-class.

Zhao Chuanxin happily practiced the Light Blade Rune and Heaven Stealing Secrets for a while, and then fell asleep in the unfinished Peace Academy.

The next morning, we went back to the Tianshangfei restaurant for dinner.

Seeing Zhao Chuanxin coming back, Guotie'er came forward with a sly look on his face: "Boss, you're back. It's incredible. Let me tell you, Mr. Nani knows some magic and can transmit sound over a thousand miles..."

Zhao Chuanxin was drinking the porridge cooked by Dunzi and eating flatbread with pickles. He was startled when he heard this: "What the hell? The wireless phone finally succeeded?"

Having said that, he couldn't eat anymore, so he put down his bowl and chopsticks and hurried to the laboratory.

Nikola Tesla was working day and night on his research and he didn't know how long he hadn't slept.

There were actually two half-grown children helping in the laboratory, one of whom was a little mouse with a pointed chin and monkey cheeks.

Hearing someone enter the room, Nikola Tesla said without even raising his head: "I've already told you not to bother me if nothing is wrong."

The little mouse was very surprised to see Zhao Chuanxin: "It's the shopkeeper, the shopkeeper is here."

Nikola Tesla then looked up, as if Zhao Chuanxin had never left and there was no sense of unfamiliarity: "Zhao, I used the Star Root companion creature you gave me to build eight wireless communication devices for you, look..."
