mage in the late qing dynasty

Chapter 194 Only used [-]% of her strength

Zhao Chuanxin thought of a terrifying scene.

After entering the ghost valley, "I" was besieged to death by a group of skinners, and my flesh and blood were devoured.

Then, "I" was revived.

The skinner guards the corpse, and after "I" is resurrected, they rush forward again.

"I" died once after walking a few steps, and died once after walking a few steps. After decades or even hundreds of years of life was deducted, "I" walked out of the ghost valley.

Zhao Chuanxin imagined his own aging appearance, the picture was too beautiful to imagine.

He doubted that if he was detained for a hundred years, it would still be a question of whether he could survive.

Immediately, anger rose in my heart.

This kid has such a vicious heart, it's better to get rid of it quickly.

Thinking of him, he decided to do this, and immediately wrote in his diary,
【I will execute the child because he is too bad. 】

however,
【I wouldn't really do that, he's still a child. 】

For a while, "I" did not resist Zhao Chuanxin's orders.

But get rid of it and then hurry up, especially when facing a child, the sullen and weak "I" can't do it at all.

What a virgin!
Zhao Chuanxin was so angry.

【I knelt down and said to the boy: Thank you for giving me this thing.I have a request, I will leave you a sum of money, enough for you and sister Ni to grow up smoothly.I'm going to put up a sign here, warning people behind, so they don't set foot in the ghost valley. 】

Zhao Chuanxin just watched with cold eyes.

[Little boy with red eye circles: I have never met someone who is so kind to us brothers and sisters.can i follow youI can help you a lot.I can cook, wash clothes, wash feet, and I can even help you fight. 】

[I hesitated.Looking at the huge wound of war, it seems that two more children will not burden it.However, the road ahead is very difficult and dangerous, can they survive? 】

Zhao Chuanxin's teeth itched with hatred, he couldn't help but write,

[I promised the boy. 】

When he thinks about it, follow "I" to the cave of Styx, this vicious child will definitely die.

Since "I" is willing to be the Virgin, let the Styx elves end the boy's sinful life.

【I promised the boy, the boy was very happy, and his sister also smiled happily when she saw her brother was happy. 】

[I sigh. 】

Zhao Chuanxin wrote again,
[I asked the boy: Shocking stab, do you have any more?give me another one. 】

【The boy took out another shocking stab from his pocket and gave it to me. 】

Zhao Chuanxin immediately used the "key" to extract the shocking thorn.

It looked like an unremarkable piece of bone.

The bones are movable and occluded.

He squeezed it casually.

I only heard the crackling of the surrounding sea, and some fish jumped out of the sea in surprise...

Wipe, is it so powerful?

But he himself heard nothing.

There is no wave of emotion.

It doesn't really seem to work on people.

[I took the boy and the girl and they climbed on the back of the Wound of War. 】

[Since there is no difference between the ridge and the valley, we will walk directly through the valley. 】

[Sure enough, as soon as I entered the valley, there was a buzzing sound.A group of small animals with wings surrounded them from all directions. 】

[I hurriedly squeezed the shocking thorns, and these vicious little things were immediately frightened back! 】

[There are piles of white bones piled up on the valley floor, which is very terrifying. 】

[But not long after, another group of skinners came around, I continued to pinch the thorns, and they retreated. 】

【Once and again, several times, finally, we walked out of the ghost valley. 】

【I looked back at the foggy, dark valley like the mouth of an abyss, and asked the boy: What if these skinners rushed out of the valley? 】

[The boy said calmly; skinners live in a special environment, and must be in places with high humidity all year round.The fog in the ghost valley lingers all year round, and they will not leave here. 】

[I asked again: How did they fly here?Outside the ghost valley, there is no fog. 】

[The boy took it for granted: The skinners originally lived here, they are the food of ghosts.The ghosts were killed by the remnants of the creatures, and this place naturally became a paradise for the skinners. 】

[I suddenly realized. 】

[After passing through the Ghost Valley, I am physically and mentally exhausted, and I am going to stay here to rest and recover my strength. 】

Zhao Chuanxin closed the diary.

Maybe it was due to being detained and depressed, at this time it was still early before the usual bedtime, but there was a feeling of drowsiness.

Even the reclining chairs are not taken away, just go back to the boat house and dip the pillows.

He dreamed that he was walking in a muddy swamp backwater, not only trekking, but also his legs were heavy.

As he walked, his legs were so heavy that he couldn't lift them up. He had to squat and try his best to move his legs.

This feeling of weakness made him shudder.

What's more disturbing is that some terrible creatures seem to have emerged from the swamp.

He doesn't know its specific appearance, but he knows that it is highly poisonous.

Zhao Chuanxin thought of locking the blood membrane. If he was poisoned, he might die faster than ordinary people.

The room leak happened to rain overnight, and when his heart trembled with fear, his legs were completely paralyzed.

At this time, someone whispered: "Wake up, wake up, you are stunned."

Zhao Chuanxin opened his eyes, and saw a handsome little black face in a sleepy state.

He instinctively held the little girl's hand. The skinny but soft, dry but warm and dry little hand instantly stabilized his mood.

"Hey, thanks to you."

The sweaty Zhao Chuanxin grinned at the little girl.

This kind of nightmare happened to him a long time ago when he stayed up late until his body became weak.

One word: imaginary!

He gritted his teeth: he must make up for his life.

The little girl blinked her big eyes: "Are you okay?"

The voice is thin and waxy.

Zhao Chuanxin has never liked to comment on girls from all over the country.

Because other people usually talk about the shortcomings of girls everywhere.

Unlike him, he only has good things in his eyes.

The girl outside the customs is cheerful and generous, and the girl from the south of the Yangtze River is Xiaojiabiyu.

Look outside, it's daylight.

The girl explained: "After I got up, I heard your miserable cry, so I came to your boat."

After speaking, she wanted to withdraw her little hand.

Zhao Chuanxin didn't make it difficult for her, he loosened the gap and let her withdraw.

"Yeah, I dreamed that a group of beautiful women were going to marry me. It was miserable and scary." Zhao Chuanxin came over slowly, and said with a smile, "Since we're here, let's have some breakfast together before going back."

The little girl was stunned.

"No, no."

The little girl quickly refused.

"Yes, yes."

Zhao Chuanxin insisted.

Today, she looks particularly delicate and kind.

With that said, he got up.

Last night, I only had time to take off my shirt and fell asleep without taking off my pants.

When he got up, the thin blanket on his body slipped off, revealing his muscular upper body.

The little girl turned her head quickly.

Zhao Chuanxin patted her on the head: "The girl from the fisherman's family is also so shy."

The little girl lowered her head.

Zhao Chuanxin smiled, went outside to wash his hands, and then took out slices of bread, eggs, butter, ham, and lettuce.

At this time, lettuce has been planted on a large scale in Guangdong and Guangxi.

Fried eggs, fried ham, bread slightly toasted in a buttered pan, served with his secret sauce.

"Here, eat more, you look thinner."

The little girl hesitated, but reached out to take it.

One big and one small, one strong and one thin, the two figures elongate as the sun rises from the east.

The little girl ate two, but Zhao Chuanxin ate four.

Zhao Chuanxin handed over the milk that the store clerk bought yesterday.

"Bread is all there, and milk is not far away."

The little girl thought to herself that she had already taken his bread, and it would be all right to drink milk.

Just accept it generously.

She took a small sip, and Zhao Chuanxin swallowed it with his head up.

The little girl giggled when she saw it.

I have never seen such a delicious food.

After eating, she looked at the sun and said, "I'm going back."

Zhao Chuanxin nodded: "Let's play again."

Then, he heard the woman yelling from the neighbor: "Damn girl, how can I work without eating for a while?"

But Zhao Chuanxin didn't hear the little girl's voice of defense.

He smiled, washed his face and brushed his teeth, and went ashore humming a song.

Let the evening wind blow in my heart, blow away my tears, chase you like a kite...

His Cantonese songs are ten thousand times stronger than the Cantonese he speaks.

Just like some people don't understand a single word, but they can sing English songs.

The little girl was listening quietly in her houseboat, her eyes sparkling.

Although it was sung in the evening breeze, it was very suitable for the mood at this time.

"This song is really nice."

……

In Zheng Guohua's bakery.

At this time, the shops on Hong Kong Island looked dark, with small windows.

In the morning, the store clerk was tearing down the door panel to open the shop.

Zhao Chuanxin rode around outside on horseback, not in a hurry to go in.

He is observing the environment.

In case, Li Ziyu's talk collapsed and Mi Dun brought people to surround this place, he must have an escape route.

Go around to the back of the bakery and see a window behind it and a back door.Looking at the roofs again, the houses are connected together, and the streets are not that wide.

Zhao Chuanxin nodded: If you talk about collapse, then just come, I am not afraid!
When he came to the main entrance of the bakery again, he was stunned.

At the intersection, there were a dozen or so men carrying hatchets, fishing knives, or hatchets, staring at him covetously.

Zhao Chuanxin was slightly taken aback.

At this time, there are still people who don't know that Prince Ma has three eyes?
"It's him, kill Brother Tuo! We want to avenge Brother Tuo!"

These words reminded Zhao Chuanxin of Yuan Tuotuo.

Instantly understood what was going on.

Mi Shan looked back at Zhao Chuanxin.

Pat it on the head, expressing peace of mind.

Zhao Chuanxin unhurriedly took out the pistol, locked the center shaft with both hands, bang!
The man who had just shouted fell down in response, hugging his thighs and howling on the ground.

Continental Luzi + Center Axis Locking System is the best posture for devil crystal glasses.

The accuracy rate is higher than that of the American Iaido with the wheel.

Sometimes with a revolver, I want to hit the eyes, but hit the forehead.

There is consideration for not killing this person.

Zhao Chuanxin got off his horse and looked at the crowd who were foolishly retreating with their weapons in hand.

The shops on both sides have just opened, and the shopkeepers and shopkeepers are watching secretly at the door.

Those Yuan Tuotuo people, whenever Zhao Chuanxin moved forward, they took a step back.

"He has a gun."

"What are you afraid of if you have a gun? We have a lot of people."

"Then you go."

"You go."

Zhao Chuanxin smiled and came to the side of the man who was shot in the thigh.

He squatted down and pointed at the man's forehead with his stick: "What's wrong? You can take the position after avenging Yuan Tuotuo?"

These words directly hit the lung tube.

But can't admit it.

Zhao Chuanxin looked up at those who were afraid to step forward to rescue his companions: "Looking at your aggressiveness, you thought you were the king, but it turned out to be a low-scoring game."

He got up and shouted at them: "Come here, take away this idiot on the ground. Go back and work hard to support your family. Listen to my brother's persuasion. There are fights and killings in the rivers and lakes. You bastards can't handle it. Don't you have the ability to know?"

Everyone: "..."

Zheng Guohua hurried out at this time.

He saw the wounds on the ground, looked at a group of men at the intersection, and then looked at Zhao Chuanxin, and he probably understood.

Sigh.

This group of people is really stupid. They came here to play revenge tricks without asking.

Seeing the impatience on Zhao Chuanxin's face, he hurried forward: "What are you still doing, take it away quickly."

Only then did the crowd rush forward, pinning knives, axes, etc. on their backs, and the people who were carrying them didn't dare to show their backs to Zhao Chuanxin, so they walked backwards out of the street.

The wounded man who was being carried suffered a lot. Someone tripped and yelled as he pulled the wounded man.

Zhao Chuanxin shook his head straight after seeing it: "That's it, how dare you come to take revenge?"

Someone shouted: "Let's go find the police!"

"Go, remember to report my name when recording the statement, Xuantian Sect Master Zhao Chuanxin!"

The man staggered, and screamed again as he pulled his wounded.

Zheng Guohua was speechless.

"Young students... Master Zhao, good morning."

Zhao Chuanxin smiled and said, "Uncle Zheng, how are you?"

"Come inside and drink tea."

The bakery was dimly lit, and Zhao Chuanxin clicked his tongue: "Uncle Zheng, you don't have much taste."

Compared with his boutique in Lugang Township, this bakery is simply terrible.

Originally, Zheng Guohua was quite polite because of the change of status.

But when he heard Zhao Chuanxin's judgment, he felt a little angry for no reason: "Then the head of Zhao is talking about it, why is his taste bad?"

"Look, hurry up." Zhao Chuanxin said terribly. "The shelf can be used, but you still have bread in the counter. Do you want customers to go in and get the bread? The counter should be made of glass, not a whole piece of glass, just like a lattice window, which separates the glass."

I came to the window and knocked on the glass: "The window is too small. The bread, which was originally white, was shone by the light, as if moldy."

He turned around and pointed out Jiangshan.

The more Zheng Guohua listened, the darker his face became.

He couldn't hold back his anger: "According to Master Zhao, the old man has been doing business for nothing all these years and has been losing money?"

"When doing business, you sail against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat. If you don't make more money, you will lose money." The old god Zhao Chuanxin is there, as if he is a big crocodile in the business field: "You can't say that your business is bad, you can only say that it is nothing. .”

"you……"

Zheng Guohua's eyes darkened.

A dog's mouth cannot spit out ivory.

After he got his way, he sneered: "Then it's better for Master Zhao to invest in me and teach me how to do business by the way."

Just in time, I'm going to wait for the news here today.

Zhao Chuanxin casually threw a bag of silver dollars on the counter: "The business is closed today, so please come to a craftsman and see me teach you how to trade."

He took out the Bovet pocket watch with a transparent crystal cover on the back, revealing a gold movement.

Look at the time, well, it's too late.

Visible high-speed rotating flywheel, this is a tangible and qualitative force.

Thanks to the shopkeeper Niu, the big brother of the list, he bought this watch at the beginning.

Zheng Guohua's cheeks trembled.

He opened the bag on the counter, revealing white silver dollars inside, which made his pupils shrink.

A lot of money!
Since Zhao Chuanxin is really willing to invest money, what are you waiting for.

He beckoned to his fellows: "Go find the masons and carpenters, and come over and buy some glass."

The guy was very clever and left in response.

Zhao Chuanxin put the pocket watch in his pocket, and at some point, he had a thin solid wood drawing board, clips, and sketching paper in his hand.

Pulled over the chair, brilliant strokes.

That is, when he turned his head, Zheng Guohua saw that Zhao Chuanxin was fully equipped to start painting.

Dazed for a moment, he came to observe behind Zhao Chuanxin.

When it comes to the pictures of decoration design, Zhao Chuanxin has a well-thought-out plan.

You don't need to think about it, just walk around the store casually, and you will have the corresponding design in your head.

The climate of Hong Kong Island is warm, so there is no problem with the design of full floor-to-ceiling windows.

Unlike in Lugang Town, those who are not well-to-do don’t dare to build floor-to-ceiling windows. The amount of coal used to burn the boiler in winter will make the poor families worse.

Click and draw, if you write with spirit, it will take shape in a moment.

Zheng Guohua was stunned for a moment: "Master Zhao still has such abilities? Is this Western painting? No, Western painting is not like this."

Anyway, he had never heard of this kind of painting.

"Oh, what a pity."

Zhao Chuanxin sighed.

Zheng Guohua wondered: "What's wrong? Isn't this good?"

Zhao Chuanxin was full of sadness: "I was unwell last night, and I had a nightmare when it was almost dawn. As a result, I can only use [-]% of my [-]% ability now."

"..."

There is a saying that I don't know if I should say it or not.

Play ninety-nine percent, what are you pretending to do with me here?
The men and craftsmen didn't come back, but Li Ziyu came first.

He didn't come alone, he brought his younger sister Li Zining with him.

Zhao Chuanxin focused on his work. He stared at the painting without looking up.

And Zheng Guohua was also fascinated because he was looking at the decoration picture of his shop.

In this way, when brother and sister Li Ziyu came in, no one greeted them.

The two came over curiously to have a look.

At this time, Zhao Chuanxin's painting has roughly taken shape, and only needs to outline the details.

He suspended the ceiling for the shed, and used wooden squares alternately in a grid to form a post-modern light stand.

The shelves were canceled and turned into a counter with a square on one side and an oval on the other. The counter is divided into two layers and is long. The support is only four round wooden bars.

The side of the square is attached to the wall, and the side of the ellipse is extended.

In this way, customers can choose desserts on both sides.

There is also a three-story square shelf in the center, which is also supported by only four round wooden bars, allowing for the largest display space.

There is also a counter with lattice glass on the left, right, front and top of the counter.Only on the back, he put a mirror on the design, which doubles the space and reflects light to illuminate the dessert inside.

The most wonderful thing is that there is a long table near the floor-to-ceiling windows and several high chairs. Customers who are tired from walking can sit and rest their feet and taste desserts by the way.

In fact, no matter what era it is, there are many fans with small qualifications.

Zhao Chuanxin fully satisfies this psychology of customers, and it is fashionable even at this time.

Just like Li Zining, he fell in love with this decoration style immediately.

She couldn't help it: "Wow, such a bakery is so attractive."

Only then did Zhao Chuanxin realize that there was someone behind him, and he turned his head in astonishment: "Huh? Who let you in? Uncle Zheng, drive this licking dog away!"

Li Zining: "..."
