Buddhist monks in the late Qing Dynasty

Chapter 1159 No Lack of Gold
This is Zhao Chuanxin's twentieth year in Middle-earth.

He sent several waves of people to the stormy and icy sea in the south to search for her. Some of these people never returned without any news, while others returned after escaping death and never dared to talk about their journey to the sea again.

Zhao Chuanxin, smoking a cigar, sat by the fireplace in the palace and sighed, "According to the intelligence gathered by the people who came back, the Storm Sea is very large, with storms all year round. This goes against common sense. For example, the Arctic Ocean on Earth is very calm. In addition, the magnetic field and ocean currents there are disordered, seabirds cannot fly, and compasses are useless. Either the sky is covered with clouds, or even you are not sure of the direction. We don't have the fifth generation of dragons, and if we get lost in the Storm Sea, it will be very dangerous."

If he was on Earth, controlling the Fearless Vanguard to search for him, Zhao Chuanxin wouldn't be so afraid.

After all, he is not the one who suffers, and if the Fearless Vanguard dies, he can be resurrected and his life can be extended.

However, Zhao Chuanxin only has one life...

If he dies, he's really dead!
So he had to proceed with caution.

Next to his recliner was a puppet dog. The puppet dog spoke in the voice of a middle-aged woman: "You have been here for twenty years, why don't you get close to women?"

The voice was made by the puppet dog, but the words were spoken by Xingyue.

Zhao Chuanxin thought the dog's voice was unpleasant, so he created a puppet dog and installed a new vocal organ.

"Those little bastards have kept me worried for twenty years. If I leave offspring here, both sides will be worried. Will they let me live?"

Two years later, Zhao Chuanxin couldn't even recruit people to go overseas.

The horror of the Stormy Ice Sea has spread, and no one dares to risk their life anymore, no matter how much money they are offered.

Zhao Chuanxin was in unbearable pain and spent three years looking for suitable lightweight materials, building three electric hydrofoil speedboats and preparing a number of equipment measures.

He is setting up a teleportation array in the palace before setting off.

When they arrived at the southernmost tip of the Central Plains, Zhao Chuanxin first dug an underground secret room to install a second teleportation array before launching the speedboat.

A teleportation array is also installed in the speedboat, and true vision crystals are installed on all four sides.

Zhao Chuanxin did not need to drive, as Xingyue controlled the entire process.

The speedboat is well enclosed and soundproofed. Although the cabin is cramped, there is a table and a chair.

The puppet dog said: "I Zhuo, there is a huge monster in the sea, it is faster than us, and it is chasing us."

"Spicy next door!" This is what Zhao Chuanxin is most worried about.

The speedboat is too small, and can barely withstand the wind and waves. There are too many dangerous creatures in the ocean of this world.

He opened the cabin and dropped a torpedo into the turbulent sea.

The mines are fired backwards with Xingyue controlling their direction.

boom……

"Roar……"

A hundred meters behind the speedboat, huge splashes appeared on the sea surface and a roar of a giant beast was heard.

Xingyue said: "If it's not enough, throw more."

boom……

"Roar……"

boom……

The robot dog wiped its sweat and said, "Okay, I chased him away."

Thanks to Zhao Chuanxin for his thorough preparation.

Zhao Chuanxin would replace the energy gems in the converter of the speedboat from time to time to generate electricity, relying on maximum output to fight against the turbulent ocean.

On the third day, Zhao Chuanxin encountered a storm at sea.

The ocean currents are changing, the sun and moon are dim, and the strong wind is blowing snowflakes everywhere. The heating must be turned on in the cabin, otherwise it will freeze into popsicles.

Xingyue said: "In this kind of weather, the range I can accurately detect is reduced to within one kilometer."

Zhao Chuanxin quickly took out a bucket of instant noodles to cook to calm his nerves.

We are moving forward too slowly, sometimes taking one step forward and three steps back.

Sometimes the speedboat is swallowed by huge waves and hits the sea.

Fortunately, the speedboat was made of special materials, otherwise it would have disintegrated long ago.

In fact, he could also teleport back to the palace and let Xingyue remotely control the speedboat.

However, without the detection of stars and moon, if an emergency occurs and some giant sea beast swallows the ship and the teleportation array together, it will be terrible, and the teleportation array cannot withstand the loss.

He only has thirty teleportation arrays in his hands.

At this time, Xingyue said: "There is something in the sea, it is not big, it swims very fast, and it is surrounding us."

Without saying a word, Zhao Chuanxin opened the hatch and released the octopus puppet into the sea.

Choo Choo Choo……

The bullets on the octopus puppet began to eject.

Bullets have less power and shorter range underwater.

Therefore, Zhao Chuanxin developed arrow-shaped bullets specifically for this purpose, specifically targeting these numerous but small creatures.

When the bullets are used up, the octopus puppet still has light blade rune fragments installed, which can shoot out very short light blades.

Zhao Chuanxin felt relieved as he watched the light spots on the True Vision Crystal become fewer and fewer.

The blizzard at sea lasted for three days and three nights.

On the fourth day, the weather cleared up. Zhao Chuanxin opened the cabin door and stood on the roof of the speedboat to look into the distance, while repairing the speedboat at the same time.

Xingyue said helplessly: "According to the direction of the sun, we are off track, way off. If the storm continues for a few more days, it might send us to the Cursed Desert."

Zhao Chuanxin and Xingyue were circling around on the sea, with storms blowing for days from time to time, consuming many torpedoes and octopus puppets.

Once the octopus puppet is put into the water, there is no way to determine where it has drifted to, and it can never be retrieved.

Half a month later, Xingyue told Zhao Chuanxin: "There is a ridge under the sea within the detection range. We just passed by here a few days ago."

"Boiled!"

It was so torturous.

Zhao Chuanxin would occasionally teleport back briefly for supplies.

Basically, I come back immediately in less than five minutes.

Every time he was teleported back to the palace, Zhao Chuanxin had the urge to not go to the sea again.

But every time he went back.

Two months later, a deep-sea monster chased the speedboat.

No matter how hard the torpedoes bombarded it, it wouldn't move.

Zhao Chuanxin had no choice but to put away the speedboat, open the absolute domain and take off, leaving 30 clones on the sea.

The deep-sea monster rushed out of the sea, opened its bloody mouth and bit towards the clone.

With 30 clones and 900 light blades, Zhao Chuanxin directly tore the deep-sea monster into pieces!

A month later, Zhao Chuanxin encountered the sawworm again.

The outer skin of this thing can be made into armor and is bulletproof.

Later on, he gained experience.

Whether to launch torpedoes or not depends entirely on the size of the monster.

If it's too big, just release your clones to cut it into pieces. If you can drive it away, do so.

He drifted on the stormy ice sea for a whole year.

If it were anyone else, they would have despaired long ago.

Finally, a year later, he found a small island.

There is no grass or animals on the island, and on top of the 8-meter-thick ice layer is meters of snow.

Zhao Chuanxin dug a hole in the ice, buried an iron cover deep in the ice, installed a teleportation array in the iron cover, and named this island - Island No. 1.

He teleported back to the palace and rested for a whole year to adjust his mental state, and by the way, earn money to support him to complete the rest of the journey.

He upgraded the power of the speedboat, increased the cabin area, and returned to Island No. 1.

Before, he came to the island from time to time to clear the newly formed ice outside the iron hatch so that the hatch could be opened and to prevent accidents.

Taking Island No. 1 as the base, Zhao Chuanxin set sail again.

Two months later, Zhao Chuanxin drifted back to Island No. 1. He was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

Now that he was back, there was nothing much to say. He teleported back to the palace to rest for two months, and then made a great decision to start again.

After drifting for another half a year, he finally found another small island.

There is an animal on this island that is the size of a dog and has a body like a squirrel, is black and white, and has very large eyes.

They looked quite cute. When Zhao Chuanxin approached, one of them suddenly opened its mouth, revealing a mouthful of sharp teeth, which scared Zhao Chuanxin.

On an island like this without any vegetation, they naturally would not be herbivores.

These little creatures were only threatening and intimidating, and did not actively attack Zhao Chuanxin.

However, when Zhao Chuanxin passed by one of them, the little beast suddenly opened its mouth and bit Zhao Chuanxin's calf.

Zhao Chuanxin reacted very quickly, raising his legs and stomping his feet in an instant.

puff...

The little beast's head was in pieces.

When the other small animals saw this, they realized that this stranger they had never seen before was so ferocious, and they were so scared that they jumped into the cold sea.

Zhao Chuanxin carried the corpse of the little animal and looked for a suitable location on the island. He lowered the metal cover and installed the teleportation array - Island No. 2.

After installing the teleportation array, Zhao Chuanxin couldn't wait to teleport back.

At this time, Xingyue said, "Wait, there is something you may be interested in on the underwater rock wall of the island."

Zhao Chuanxin actually just wanted to go back and rest for a year or two.

But he couldn't help but go to the beach out of curiosity, opened the absolute domain and jumped into the sea.

The absolute area can isolate heat exchange, so Zhao Chuanxin will not feel cold.

He dived down and saw the small animals scratching for food among the rock walls.

They prey on a long, cavity-like creature.

Between some rock walls, there are some shiny things glowing with colorful light. Some are regular like five-pointed stars, some are hexagrams, and some are crescent-shaped.

Zhao Chuanxin picked up some, surfaced, and opened the absolute domain.

"what is this?"

Xingyue said: "This is a kind of stone in the body of a cavity-like organism. It accumulates and gets stuck in the cavity for a long time. Think of it as a pearl."

Zhao Chuanxin put away these gadgets and teleported back to the palace.

It happened that the shepherd came to see him with iron courage and Ramadan.

Zhao Chuanxin took out a few small things he had picked up and gave them as gifts.

But the shepherd said, "Huh? This is a worm treasure, a very precious gem. Where did you get it?"

Zhao Chuanxin hasn't communicated with anyone for a long time.

He was quite happy: "I got them from an island in the Stormy Ice Sea. If you like them, I'll give you a few more."

He wanted to keep some and take them back for the kids. Zhao Songzhen, Zhao Nianzhen and Jiang Mingxin must like this shiny natural gadget.

Zhao Zhengze is a little fool, he can only play and fall.

Zhao Lingjun, wow, she is not interested in these!

Thinking of them, Zhao Chuanxin felt a lump in his throat.

"God Emperor, what's wrong with you?"

"Nothing, nothing. Since you are here, stay here for a few more days to accompany me..."

The four of them chatted about everything, including the Fearless Pioneer.

Fearless Pioneer no longer takes risks; he and Dudu have a child.

After the war, he led the rebels to build a city near the Shadow Forest and named it Forest City.

Originally, Zhao Chuanxin wanted to rest for a while longer.

The thought of having a child gave him confidence, and he set out again a month later.

Drifting on the sea, he had to find something to do.

He made a shiny bracelet for Jiang Mingxin, pendants for Zhao Songzhen and Zhao Nianzhen, and two hunting knives made of short-legged ivory for Zhao Lingjun and Yao Bing. Even Yao Jia, Zhang Shouzeng, Zhao Zhongyi and others all had gifts...

Like most people, Zhao Chuanxin does things in cycles.

During this period of time, I will create jewelry. In the next stage, I will start to study the entanglement singularity axiom, practice telekinesis, and then practice the undead force field to increase my absolute domain.

These things go on in cycles and never stop.

He needs to keep doing things to numb three emotions: emptiness, disappointment and fear.

He had a vague worry that he would never be able to return to Earth.

Sometimes the wind and waves were too strong and a wave would directly overturn the speedboat. Zhao Chuanxin would roll the speedboat a few times in the speedboat and then get it back to its place.

Sometimes there are too many ice blocks and the speedboat cannot move forward, so Zhao Chuanxin has to put away the speedboat and jump and fly among the ice blocks with Xingyue.

In his twenty-fifth year in the world of "Old God Code", he finally discovered an inhabited island.

This island is very big, as big as Red Island.

At first, Zhao Chuanxin saw the desolate coastline and thought that the island was uninhabited.

It was not until he discovered the smoke column from the crater after hovering in the air that he was overjoyed and activated the rune of speed to rush towards the crater.

According to what the Invisible Man said, isn't the City of Fracture in the Fractured Land near the crater?
Sure enough, there is a city built of black rocks here. There are hot springs and flowers nearby. Even the outside temperature can reach about 18 degrees, which is definitely suitable for human habitation.

The city gates were wide open, there were no guards, only residents coming in and out.

These people are dressed in strange clothes and are different from others.

Zhao Chuanxin grabbed a man and asked, "Excuse me, is this the place of division?"

He kept grinning foolishly, which made the other person confused, and he spoke a string of words that Zhao Chuanxin couldn't understand.

Zhao Chuanxin knew that impatientness would not bring success, so he could only go into the city to listen and see more. If Xingyue listened more, she would be able to master a language.

The city is dark, dominated by dark tones, and looks very depressing.

But Zhao Chuanxin's heart is full of sunshine.

He smiled at everyone he met: "Hello."

"have you eaten?"

"Look at this kid. He doesn't seem to be lacking in intelligence at all."

"This guy has a greasy face, he doesn't need to be rubbed."

There is no shortage of iron here. Perhaps because it is near the crater, iron products are everywhere. The lamp posts are made of iron, the windows are made of iron, the chimneys are made of iron, and the stair railings are also made of iron...

There is no shortage of glass here, and the technology for firing glass is quite advanced, so the transparency is very good.

Because the land is limited, the land utilization rate is maximized. Even though there is no water, there are many iron bridges that lead to all directions. The houses are built against the mountain, layer upon layer.

At this time, someone rang the bell in a rapid tone. The pedestrians on the street looked serious. Some went home and closed their doors, while others gathered on the iron bridge and were on guard.

Someone shouted something, but Zhao Chuanxin didn't understand.

Xingyue told him: "They should be saying that the Fire Demon is coming."

Zhao Chuanxin knew about Flame Demon leather. Warm clothes made of Flame Demon leather would allow people to avoid wearing down jackets and cotton-padded jackets in winter.

Could it be that the Fire Demon Skin comes from the Broken Land?
Zhao Chuanxin read a book called "Monsters", in which there is a passage that describes: There is a fire demon in the south of the sea, with oil in its belly and it spews fire. Kill it, take its skin, and soak it in salted water. It will leak when filled with water, but not air...

There is a flaming demon to the south of the sea. It has oil in its belly and can spit fire. If you peel off its skin and soak it in acid, water will leak out if you use the skin to hold water, but it will not leak if you blow air into it.

This is a characteristic of the Fire Demon's leather. It has good drainage but no exhaust. It's magical.

I saw a two-meter-five-meter-tall monster with two horns on its head crawling out of a mine entrance. It crawled very fast on all fours with its strong limbs. After coming out, it looked around and ran towards anyone it saw.

I guess this must be the Flame Demon.

The Flame Demon opened his mouth: "Huh..."

A ball of fire burst out.

The man opposite held a shield covered with the skin of a fire demon, and actually blocked the fire.

It turns out that the Fire Demon's skin is fireproof.

Then several people came forward fiercely, two of them held the fire demon's big mouth to prevent it from opening, and the rest swung their fists and smashed it hard.

Zhao Chuanxin was dumbfounded.

The people here are tall, generally over two meters tall, and fat and strong.

I didn't expect that they would be even more fierce in character.

The fire demon raised his claws, knocked over one person, and then grabbed another.

The man dodged nimbly and punched the fire demon in the eyes with his iron bladed fist.

puff……

The Flame Demon's eyeballs exploded.

With the combined efforts of several people, they soon beat the fire demon to death.

Then he dragged the body of the fire demon back happily.

At this time, seven more fire demons emerged from the mine.

These people's faces changed, they put down the body of the fire demon and hurriedly retreated.

Just now they were fighting hand-to-hand, but now they chose to pick up spears and swords.

Xingyue said: "They want the complete skin of the Fire Demon, so they choose to fight hand to hand. But there are many Fire Demons, so they must use weapons to resist."

Zhao Chuanxin rolled his eyes, picked up the Queen Bee Spear and stepped forward: "Get out of the way, let me do it."

He pushed the crowd away, took a few steps and leaped forward amid their astonished gazes.

The Flame Demon opened his mouth: "Huh..."

Everyone was thinking: Is this guy a fool? Why would he charge forward without even holding a shield?

Zhao Chuanxin is not afraid of fire at all. The forty-centimeter absolute domain isolates the flames, and the old god's crucible mark can also absorb heat energy.

The Queen Bee Spear in his hand stabbed straight into the eye of a fire demon.

puff……

The black Queen Bee spear pierced through the Fire Demon's eyes and went out through his brain.

Zhao Chuanxin pulled out his gun suddenly, and the body of the Flame Demon fell down.

The people behind cheered.

Li Shuwen can kill flies with a big gun, and Zhao Chuanxin is even better than him. He can kill flies continuously at an extremely fast speed without taking any flies away.

Puff puff puff puff.

One shot, one eye.

The remaining two fire demons leaped up and pounced.

Zhao Chuanxin rolled over and hit a fire demon's head with the butt of his gun, then lifted it up.

laugh……

Jump step to cover the top.

boom.

The last fire demon was dizzy, and Zhao Chuanxin jumped off the iron plank road and placed his spear on the ground below.

The fire demon became dizzy and fell headfirst, sending his own eyes into the tip of the gun.

puff……

Everyone was stunned.

Does this work too?
Zhao Chuanxin stood with his hands behind his back, feeling lonely as an expert.

Several people immediately surrounded him, not to attack him, but to compliment him.

He said something that Zhao Chuanxin couldn't understand, probably muttering: Awesome, great, Thai pants are hot!

Zhao Chuanxin finally found an opportunity to communicate.

He communicated with these people through gestures and words.

Zhao Chuanxin wanted to hand over the corpses of the fire demons to them, but they refused.

In the end, Zhao Chuanxin was defeated and got two while the other party got five.

Zhao Chuanxin then demonstrated to them the technique of butchering an ox - skinning it.

Everyone was stunned by the miraculous skills.

Someone volunteered to help Zhao Chuanxin deal with the Flame Demon's skin.

There was a man named Iron Fist Warrior.

This is how the translation is translated. It's really bragging.

The Iron Fist Warrior has a child at home. Because he is too tall, about 1.7 meters tall, Zhao Chuanxin is not sure how old the child is.

He took out a gold nugget and handed it over as a gift.

These were the spoils he seized when he was fighting bandits in Lanling River.

Who would have thought that the young man took the gold nugget, curled his lips, and threw it aside with disdain.

Zhao Chuanxin raised his eyebrows: Don’t you value gold?

The Iron Fist Warrior grinned and took out a golden plate, a golden bowl, and a golden basin...

Several groups, many gold products!
It seems that there is no shortage of gold here.

Zhao Chuanxin asked him, "What do you use to buy things?"

The Iron Fist Warrior took out a handful of blue crystals and heat source gems from his pocket...

Zhao Chuanxin: "..."
