Buddhist monks in the late Qing Dynasty

Chapter 1153 I’m Here to Send You Off

The city lord was not dead, he was tied up with iron chains and thrown into the corner.

A group of people carried the String of Order away in a noisy manner.

In the Demon Temple's treasure house, there are various potions besides bone staffs.

The gold coins were confiscated.

Zhao Chuanxin walked leisurely to the place where the books were stored. When he arrived, no one dared to disturb him.

His previous battle with the city lord brought 10,000 points of pressure to everyone.

Zhao Chuanxin quietly flipped through the books, one after another.

After a while, the pastor came and said, "What are you looking for? You'd better not practice the secrets of the Undead Cult. It will turn you into a ghost."

Zhao Chuanxin smiled at her while holding his pipe in his mouth: "Don't worry, I just like reading. Men who love reading will never have bad luck."

"How can you study like that? Can you remember anything if you turn the pages so quickly?"

"You can take any test on any book I have read."

"Well, what does the fifth section of the sixth chapter of the book "Chronicles of the Secluded Country" talk about?"

"Qingyun is the thirteenth magician of the Demon God Sect. He has secret medicines that can communicate with the devil. Each has his own method. There are 42 kinds in total. Some are five strong and six strong. Take it to strengthen bones and tendons, take the flow of magic pills to restore magic, take the magic Yin to grow nine points, take the magic to keep the five senses, and take the spirit field to fly to the clouds..."

The shepherd's pupils trembled.

This is inevitably a bit magical.

Unless you memorize it in advance.

She then picked up another book and asked about it, and Zhao Chuanxin answered fluently.

“I believe there are geniuses in this world.”

Zhao Chuanxin took a puff of his cigarette and said, "Go do whatever you need to do. Don't delay my studies."

The pastor raised an eyebrow: "Is that how you talk to the pastor?"

Zhao Chuanxin put down the book and walked up to the pastor, and the two were very close to each other.

Zhao Chuanxin reached out and stroked the shepherd's hair: "Be obedient."

The pastor stepped back hastily and fled the study in embarrassment.

Zhao Chuanxin sneered and continued flipping through the book.

Three days later, the army returned and Zhao Chuanxin had already read all the books.

After a thousand-mile march, both the men and the horses were exhausted, but fortunately the result was good.

Zhao Chuanxin was glad that he had not acted rashly before.

Firstly, the necromancer's methods were strange, and secondly, the String of Order was too large for him to move. The secret space remained on the earth, and he could do nothing about it.

He asked Xingyue to read the scroll of spiritual consciousness, and then Xingyue told the contents.

On the way back, Zhao Chuanxin found a horse to ride.

He was swaying on horseback with his pipe in his mouth. Xingyue said, "At least half of the contents of the Divine Consciousness Book overlap with the contents of the books in the library. The other half is the city lord's supplements and his own experience, as well as the absolute domain refining method he created after he obtained the String of Order."

"Among the secret drugs, only two are valuable. The rest will make you less than human."

"One is a secret medicine for prolonging life, and the other is a secret medicine for strengthening tendons and bones. The gravity here is greater than on Earth, so the secret medicine for strengthening tendons and bones is very important. Otherwise, if you survive for a long time, your body will have problems."

"Practicing the secret method of absolute domain in the undead stance is very suitable for you."

Because of the stronger gravity, the human bodies and bones in the world of "Code of the Old Gods" are stronger than those on Earth, so Zhao Chuanxin's powerful kick did not kill the Saint.

Here, Zhao Chuanxin, at 1.86 meters tall, is considered short; even the shepherd and Ramadan are 1.80 meters tall.

"I didn't expect that after changing the environment, I would actually develop osteoporosis?"

Zhao Chuanxin was both amused and confused.

The secret medicine requires the collection of various materials and costs tens or even millions of gold coins.

Definitely poor in literature but rich in martial arts.

The 67 cents in Zhao Chuanxin's pocket were nothing but a drop in the bucket.

But on the way back to the Holy City of Order, he began to practice the Absolute Domain.

First practice the sensitivity, Zhao Chuanxin sensed the undead force field sticking to his body.

The process was smooth, as if he was born to cultivate the absolute domain.

The city lord was completely sealed by the shepherd, and the soldiers tied him up with iron chains to prevent him from escaping despite his immense strength.

One day, when Zhao Chuanxin was riding his horse past the prison cage, the city lord, with a pale face and loose skin, suddenly smiled at him.

Zhao Chuanxin's violent temper has been reduced recently. He said with bared teeth: "I'm outside and you're inside, and you can still smile. You have a good attitude."

The city lord laughed, "If it weren't for you, I would have beaten everyone here to death! You shouldn't have joined the Mother of Order sect, you should have joined my Undead sect. Zhao Chuanxin, all the necromancers in Ghost City have killed more people than you alone. I am looking forward to seeing what kind of demons you, the people of the Mother of Order sect, will become in the end."

"Nonsense. I am a person who would not hurt an ant when sweeping the floor, who cherishes moths flying under a lantern, and who advocates universal love and non-aggression. No one is kinder than me, so how could I kill someone?"

Zhao Chuanxin was talking nonsense in a serious tone.

The city lord looked at the snowflakes floating in the sky and said, "You fooled that stupid pastor, do you think you can fool me? I can feel how strong the undead force field on you is. Tell me, how many people have you killed? Ten thousand? No! The thirteenth magician of the Demon God Sect killed the most people, but he only killed more than 8000 people. His undead force field is far less strong than yours. Haha, have you killed people? Tsk tsk..."

To be honest, Zhao Chuanxin himself couldn’t count them all.

Zhao Chuanxin said calmly: "You have the mouth, you can say whatever you want."

After saying this, he rode his horse forward without further ado.

The snow fell heavier and heavier, and everyone was shivering with cold.

People kept falling down along the way and were buried in a foreign land.

Zhao Chuanxin often went out hunting, and Tiedan processed the furs and made leather clothes for Zhao Chuanxin's team to keep them warm, so the casualty ratio was relatively small.

Zhao Chuanxin's prestige is growing day by day, and Tiedan is now just a little brother, serving Zhao Chuanxin at his beck and call, although their positions have not changed.

After the battle of Ghost City, the pastor did not promote Zhao Chuanxin's position, but only promised him financial compensation after he returned to the Holy City of Order.

Zhao Chuanxin understood that this woman was wary of him.

After another seven days, Zhao Chuanxin had mastered the absolute domain.

While stationed, they encountered the city lord's cage again.

The Lord of Ghost City laughed even more happily: "Zhao Chuanxin, I was right. You are a genius in cultivating the undead force field. It takes others several years to cultivate the absolute field, but you did it in less than a month."

"Shh... stop talking nonsense. Are you mentally ill?"

"hehe."

The army marched westwards. The world was in great chaos, with no one living within a hundred miles.

On this day, the army encountered a group of virtual world invaders who were burning, killing and looting.

Zhao Chuanxin's team was ordered to follow the army to fight the enemy.

Zhao Chuanxin fired a cold shot from a distance.

boom.

He killed an intruder from the virtual world who had just removed his light shield.

boom.

dead.

Zhao Chuanxin shot methodically, and after killing more than twenty people, he was finally noticed by the enemy. Several virtual realm invaders wearing anti-force shoulder straps flew towards him.

boom.

One shot was blocked by the light shield.

boom.

Blocked again.

The other party also had a gun and aimed at him.

boom.

Zhao Chuanxin turned sideways to avoid it.

boom.

The other side fell.

Ha ha!

The opponent thought he had figured out his rhythm, so he removed the light shield when he pressed the lever to load the gun, and then re-activated the light shield before he fired.

After all, loading the gun takes time.

The light shield cannot be turned on all the time.

When the distance between the two sides was less than fifteen meters, several virtual realm invaders removed their light shields when they thought Zhao Chuanxin was going to reload his gun.

However, Zhao Chuanxin took out the God of War M1907.

chug chu...

"what……"

Sweep them all down.

"That's what they call, all is fair in war, idiot."

Zhao Chuanxin's undead force field became even stronger.

The way of man is to take from the surplus and make up for the deficiency!

The virtual invaders retreated.

However, Zhao Chuanxin heard the news about the Fearless Vanguard from the captured prisoners.

"Where is the Dauntless Vanguard Resistance now?"

“Active in the southern part of Shadow Forest.”

"Where is the one who specializes in the Void Realm?"

"In pursuit of the fearless pioneer."

That bastard Fearless Vanguard, after summoning him, ran away without even waiting to meet him, leaving Zhao Chuanxin besieged and seriously injured.

The nine clans that had fought each other to death or were injured had to form an alliance again in the troubled times.

There are no eternal enemies.

The Fearless Vanguard is familiar with them, and the rebels have formed an alliance with the Nine Clans Alliance.

He is now fighting a long-term battle, fighting against the invaders from the virtual world with the new emperor and the sand bandits in the Cursed Desert, and fighting against the invaders from the virtual world in Middle-earth.

Zhao Chuanxin couldn't care less about so many things at this moment. He had to rearm himself first.

There were several insignificant incidents along the way, and two months later, the pilgrim army finally arrived at the Holy City of Order.

When Zhao Chuanxin saw the Holy City of Order, he was somewhat disappointed.

Tiedan described it to him like this: "The Holy City of Order is a prosperous and progressive city, and the cultural center of Middle-earth. It has skilled craftsmen, developed trade, wide streets and magnificent buildings. The residents of the city have faith and..."

No matter how much he talked, when Zhao Chuanxin saw the broken earthen walls of the Holy City of Order, the wide but muddy and smelly streets, the colorless and low-rise buildings that looked like slums, and the residents in rags...

Zhao Chuanxin's head was buzzing.

"Come on, this is the skilled craftsman you mentioned?"

Zhao Chuanxin pointed at a craftsman who was repairing an iron pot on the side of the road and said.

The craftsman repaired the broken iron pot into an extremely ugly shape.

"Come on, this is the broad street and magnificent building you mentioned, right?"

Zhao Chuanxin pointed to the street littered with cow, horse, and alpaca dung, and the tavern with half-rotten wood beside the street and said.

"Ah, this..." Tiedan blushed: "Isn't this quite spacious?"

Come to think of it, to the west of the Holy City of Order is Sunset Town, and outside Sunset Town is the Blood Wasteland. How prosperous can a western city be?
Originally, the Holy City of Order was deserted, until the army returned and the population increased, it became lively and somewhat bustling.

The pilgrims were soldiers when they fought, and became peddlers and farmers when they returned to the fields.

This was true even for the blue robes. Only the purple robes could still serve in the army.

Therefore, on the second day after returning to the city, Zhao Chuanxin, Tiedan, Zhaiyue and others were disbanded.

Tiedan asked: "Zhao Chuanxin, do you have a place to live?"

"How dare you talk nonsense! This is my first time in the Holy City of Order. Where did I get the house?"

Tiedan laughed awkwardly: "Then come back with me and squeeze in."

Ramadan also said: "It's ok for you to share a bed with me. I don't mind you."

Zhao Chuanxin pinched her butt: "I fucking dislike you."

This woman often sneaked into men's tents while in the army.

But this is how the world is. No one says that only men can sleep with women, but women can't sleep with men.

Especially in the Holy City of Order, women have a very high status, and the leader is a woman.

Finally, Zhao Chuanxin and Tiedan went home together.

Tiedan's home is a small wooden house with drafts on all sides. He has to sleep with his clothes on in winter, otherwise he will be too cold to sleep.

At this time, Zhao Chuanxin missed the mud trowel gloves.

He asked, "How many gold coins does a house in the Holy City of Order cost?"

"The house price has gone up a lot, it's more than 700 gold coins. If you buy the land and build it yourself, it will only cost more than 400 gold coins, including hiring people, materials and land fees."

"How much does it cost to buy just the land and materials?"

"Um... I'm not sure. A plot of land as big as mine would cost a hundred gold coins. The materials would have to be at least a hundred, right?"

Zhao Chuanxin sighed: "A penny can make a hero fall."

Tiedan searched through all the boxes and cabinets but couldn't find any food.

He scratched his head and said, "If you're in a hurry to own a house, you can try your luck in the towns surrounding the Holy City of Order. Maybe someone unlucky enough to be killed by bandits will have their house vacated and auctioned off by the mayor. You might be able to buy a ready-made house for 200 gold coins."

Zhao Chuanxin looked at his home, which looked like a doghouse, and stood up and said, "Tell me how to get there."

"The nearest town, Black Rock, is only half a day's ride away."

Zhao Chuanxin left.

Before leaving, he told Tiedan: "If the shepherd sends gold coins as a reward, you should keep them for me first."

Tiedan sneered: "The rewards issued by the church will take at least half a year to be implemented. You can go ahead and wait for you to come back after staying for half a year."

"..."

The Clock of Order now includes the Dial of Order and the Chord of Order.

There are still two most important things missing for Zhao Chuanxin: the order pointer and the order pendulum.

He had to wait patiently because the shepherd had no idea about the other three parts.

Zhao Chuanxin spent 1 gold coin to buy food supplies and set off.

The path was muddy and difficult to walk on, and there were only barren meadows all around.

On the way he shot a rabbit with a lever-action rifle, skinned it and hung it with a cavalry knife, and arrived at Black Rock before nightfall.

Black Rock Town is not big, with only one street, and the road is also piled with cow and horse manure.

There was a tavern with a hastily named name, the Black Rock Tavern.

Zhao Chuanxin tied up his horse and went into the tavern.

The red-faced drunkards took a quick look at the uninvited guests and then continued to brag and drink.

Zhao Chuanxin picked up the rabbit with a knife and handed it to the bartender: "Stew it for me, and serve some cakes and wine."

The bartender took the money and gave it to the woman in the kitchen.

Zhao Chuanxin had just sat down when drunkards at two tables next to him started fighting.

Two people wrestled with each other near him, and Zhao Chuanxin pressed one of them's waist with his cavalry sword and scabbard, so that the man could not retreat.

The man knocked his opponent down with one punch, turned around and glared at Zhao Chuanxin: "You are looking for death..."

Zhao Chuanxin leaned forward and the scabbard hit him on the mouth with a "snap".

"what……"

"puff!"

The man bared a fang.

"You dare to hit me?" He rushed towards Zhao Chuanxin with his fist raised.

Snapped!
The man was knocked to the ground by the scabbard.

The others joined in and rushed forward to beat Zhao Chuanxin.

Zhao Chuanxin put the knife on the table, stood up and punched each kid.

Five punches, five knocked down.

The pub fell silent.

Zhao Chuanxin spat, "Ah... tui! Fuck the guy next door, get out of here and fight him."

No one dared to mess with him now.

Not long after, the town sheriff arrived.

The sheriff adjusted his hat, pinched his belt with both hands, and shouted with his chest and belly protruding, "What are you doing? You're causing trouble just by drinking some cat urine. If you fight again, I'll detain you."

Then the sheriff discovered Zhao Chuanxin.

He led his men towards Zhao Chuanxin and said, "You look unfamiliar. Where are you from?"

Zhao Chuanxin took out the blue robe sergeant's certificate from his briefcase and asked, "Is there anyone selling a house here?"

After reading the voucher, the sheriff thought there was no problem and sneered, "Selling houses? There are only people building houses here. Do you want to buy land? The good places have been sold out. I want to buy a piece of land in the far west. I'll give it to you at a lower price, only 40 gold coins."

"Buy it." Zhao Chuanxin said decisively.

The sheriff was very happy to hear this.

This is to generate income for Black Rock Town.

He hurriedly said to the policeman: "Go and call the mayor."

Then he sat next to Zhao Chuanxin, ordered a glass of wine, and began to chat with Zhao Chuanxin, asking him some questions about the Pilgrim Army.

"Damn these virtual invaders, they should go back to the Cursed Desert!"

"The world is not as good as it used to be. This place was once ruled by the remnants of creatures... er, just forget what I said."

Zhao Chuanxin said, the sheriff commented.

A crowd of people soon gathered around to listen.

Someone asked, "Hey, blue sergeant, what's your name?"

"Zhao Chuanxin."

"Zhao Chuanxin, you talk so much, but do you have any achievements to show for yourself?"

Zhao Chuanxin said calmly: "I was the one who captured the mayor of Ghost City."

There was silence in the room.

Laughter broke out immediately and the air was filled with joy.

"Look at the way he brags. He really has some of the style I had back then."

"Little blue robe, so arrogant."

The sheriff couldn't help laughing. He said with a smile: "Blue robe sergeant, since you are so capable, there just happened to be a gang of gangsters roaming around nearby. The police station has issued a reward. As long as you catch the gang leader, the evil eye, there will be a reward of 100 gold coins. If you catch all the members of their gang, there will be a reward of 150 gold coins."

Zhao Chuanxin became interested: "Don't care about life or death?"

"They're worth that much alive, and there are plenty of people eager to see them hanged. Dead, the prize money is only half."

"Any clues?"

"They are in the area of ​​Lanling River, robbing gold diggers. You can go look for them over there."

Zhao Chuanxin asked again about the direction of Lanling River.

At this time, the mayor pushed the door open.

The mayor was an old man with gray hair, a hunched body and age spots all over his face, but his clothes were elegant, much more sophisticated than Zhao Chuanxin's.

Just as he was about to speak, Zhao Chuanxin waved his hand and said, "Then don't rush to buy the land. Wait until I catch the person back."

The tavern fell silent again, and then burst into laughter again.

Zhao Chuanxin also laughed.

He spent the night in a guest room on the second floor of the tavern.

The next morning, Zhao Chuanxin ate something, put all his belongings on his horse and set off.

The Lanling River is named after the blueling grass.

Blue feather grass is a plant whose leaves look like blue feathers. It is actually a medicinal herb. Zhao Chuanxin needs blue feather grass to refine the secret medicine for strengthening tendons and bones.

It's just not worth the money because there are too many of them.

Worthless doesn't mean useless.

Zhao Chuanxin cut some blue feather grass and put it in a bundle on the horse's back.

Not long after we walked, we saw the gold diggers in the river.

Zhao Chuanxin asked: "Do you know where the group of people with the Demon Eye are?"

The gold digger looked very secretive and shook his head.

But Zhao Chuanxin understood micro-expressions. This person was not speaking from the heart and glanced in a certain direction several times. Zhao Chuanxin understood.

Some people say that micro-expressions have been falsified.

As a result, the study of micro-expressions was completely destroyed.

It’s so hard to think about.

The Demon Eye was also a gold digger at first.

Later, he found that gold mining was not as profitable as robbery.

He had excellent eyesight, and just as the Fearless Vanguard had caused firearms to flood Middle-earth, he bought a lever-action rifle and began his career as a bandit.

He was a good shot and ruthless, and he quickly gathered a group of bandits composed of gold diggers, a total of seven people, who moved back and forth, and no one could do anything to him.

The Demon Eye does not rob everyone. If some gold diggers voluntarily pay protection fees, he will not touch them.

He will educate the strange gold diggers.

"Boy, do you know that the Blue Wing River is under the jurisdiction of my Demon Eye? You came to the Blue Wing River without even saying hello to me. You are too disrespectful to me!"

A young man was hung up, his face was bruised and swollen, and he looked very miserable.

The evil eye whipped the young man with a whip.

PIA!

"what……"

"Please let me go. I know I was wrong."

"Young man, I am actually quite reasonable, but unfortunately, I must make you remember me so that you will always respect me."

At this moment, a voice came from behind him: "You are right."

The Demon Eye looked back in shock, and his seven little brothers looked back in shock.

They saw a man who was not very tall, with short and hard hair and a thick beard, smiling at them while holding a pipe in his mouth.

Demon Eyes smiled grimly: "Are you here to pay the protection fee?"

"I'm here to see you off."
