If I let you become a druid, would you join the Demon Sect?

Chapter 30 Chase
Soon, Gu Yan witnessed how terrifying the tracking ability of the dog, which has intelligence that is no less than that of humans, is.

Ba Liang just sniffed the smell at the crime scene and locked onto the direction the old man left.

The old man chose the bustling Sanxian County as his base.

To determine the specific location.

After Gu Yan and Balian entered the city separately, they disguised themselves as delivery men.

He hid Ba Liang in a bamboo basket, then followed the scent all the way and finally locked onto the old man's location.

After entering the city, this old man actually hid in the magistrate's house.

This is exactly the same as what happened when Gu Yan killed Taoist Nian Yun and hid in a merchant warehouse in Huangtu Town. He is also a cunning and treacherous character.

But Gu Yan breathed a sigh of relief.

When Ba Liang sneaked in, his size was so obvious that he was not monitored. It was obvious that the old man had no connection with the magistrate of Sanxian County.

As long as there is no involvement, it will be easy!

The county magistrate is the face of the government. If he is involved, it would be difficult for him to take action.

"It seems I have no choice but to use my ultimate weapon."

Gu Yan took one last look at the magistrate's house and left with Ba Liang on his shoulder.

The location was determined.

Just in case, the first thing Gu Yan did was to send Balian away from the county.

This broken dog is fat and long, and it stands out too much in the city.

Never underestimate the power of the collective.

If the old man knew that the broken dog had come to the city, he could easily guess that the dog was related to himself. Gu Yan came all the way here and did not hide it deliberately. If he continued to investigate based on this clue, his background would be completely exposed in no time.

This is also the reason why Gu Yan is obsessed with killing the old man.

When the old man came to his senses, he probably guessed that the person who killed his boy was the dog's owner.

So even if the other party is not someone you naturally dislike, there is still a way to kill him!

Gave away eight taels.

Some arrangements were also made outside the city.

Gu Yan turned back again and, using a fake identity, found an inn more than 500 meters away from the magistrate's house and booked a room on the second floor.

Entered the room.

He closed the doors and windows, wrapped it from behind, and took out a box.

This was also the last thing in Gu Yan's package besides the silver bills: two hand-held rifles, one long and one short.

As a criminal, there are many things to consider.

For example, weapon manufacturing in extreme environments.

Most modern weapons rely on chemicals and machinery.

Gu Yan knew that no matter what he did, he couldn't do it.

Not allowed in industrial environment.

So his only choice was the pinnacle of black powder rifles: the .50-90 Sharps.

This gun is a classic weapon from the black powder era of the mid-to-late 19th century. It is famous for its great power and high precision. It has a caliber of 12.7 mm, uses a lead bullet, and has an initial velocity of 400-450 meters per second. It can knock down large animals such as grizzly bears and North American bison with one shot, or perform sniping within a kilometer.

Naturally, Gu Yan had no way of replicating the gun from his previous life one-to-one.

But there is no need to replicate it one-to-one.

Perhaps because of the existence of martial arts, iron tools are well developed in this world, and the performance of some expensive hundred-forged steels is no worse than the steel quality of Gu Yan's previous life's industrial era.

Add strength and miracles will happen.

When he made this rifle, the process went smoothly.

The only thing that was not smooth was the manual manipulation of the barrel rifling, the breech locking mechanism and the firing setting.

Fortunately, there is a metal with higher hardness in this world: black iron.

After spending a lot of money.

Gu Yan finally solved the rifling problem.

Next is the rear-mounted locking mechanism.

This can only be done by the master chef by hand, and then adjusted little by little.

The last step is the firing setting.

This is actually the simplest. You only need to clamp a piece of flint on the jaws of the hammer and set an anvil next to the fire hole. In this way, when shooting, pull the trigger and under the action of the spring, the flint will hit the edge of the fire hole heavily, sparks will come out, and the gunpowder will ignite and fire.

The only problem is that this type of firing requires a certain purity of black powder, otherwise it will easily fail to ignite.

The bullets are also hand-rolled.

Gu Yan still chose lead bullets.

Lead is a by-product metal in the refining of many silver-lead co-existing ores and is easy to purchase.

Using the casting technique, lead bullets of the same size can be produced. Then, special paper is mixed, cylindrical paper bags are made by hand, and gunpowder is sealed to complete the production of paper-wrapped bullets with a certain amount of loading.

It can be said that at this stage, this gun, in addition to emitting a large amount of smoke after firing, has already possessed the characteristics of modern firearms such as high damage and long range.

Taking into account the different environments.

Gu Yan also specially made two different Sharps .50-90 Sharps, one long and one short.

It is long and has a longer killing range of about 800 meters, but its power is relatively small, and can only barely approach the power of the gun in the previous life.

Short, large-caliber, similar to a shotgun, with greater damage in close-range bursts.

To increase the lethality, his lead bullets were cross-point bullets. The moment they hit the prey, the lead would explode inside the prey's body.

Only those who get shot know how it feels.

Very beautiful.

In fact, Gu Yan can also make a revolver using this method.

But it is not necessary.

The iron balls he threw were no less powerful than modern pistols.

Moreover, after martial arts masters understand the operating principles of firearms, they can easily avoid black powder bullets by simply locking their eyes on the muzzle.

Therefore, unless you want to compete for supremacy and deploy it on a large scale, it really doesn't make much sense.

The reason why Gu Yan also made a rifle was that the rifle's shooting range was long enough, suitable for sniping, and easier to use than ordinary bows and arrows.

You see, this comes in handy.

Took the gun.

While no one was paying attention, Gu Yan climbed to the top of the inn and observed the situation at the magistrate's house five hundred meters away.

Ba Liang is really awesome when it comes to his sense of smell.

Not only did it find the old man's approximate location, it also locked onto the area where he was hiding directly through the wall.

soon.

Gu Yan took advantage of his high position to locate the house where the old man was hiding.

That old guy is also treacherous.

The other party actually hid directly in the backyard where the county magistrate's wife was.

In fact, the most suitable place to hide is an area that is convenient for eating, drinking and defecating, otherwise it will be easy to be exposed.

Even a master like Gu Yan cannot escape these three things.

Gu Yan guessed that the old man had some kind of fasting method that allowed him to go without food, drink, or excretion for a short period of time.

Once you determine the location, it's easy.

Gu Yan left the room and came to the outskirts of the county magistrate's house. He took out the written paper, crumpled it into balls, and threw them into various places in the courtyard with great force. Then he returned to the top floor of the inn as soon as possible, put on a hood, and started aiming.

Both guns were debugged outside the city.

Just waiting to see blood!
Let’s talk about the county magistrate’s office.

A servant saw the notes and immediately showed them to the lady at home.

When the lady saw the message above, she also panicked.

She called the guards to protect her, and asked the servants to go to the county government office to ask her master to come back.

The magistrate of Sanxian County was shocked and suspicious after receiving the message from his servant.

The note that delivered the message actually said that a flower thief was hiding in his backyard.

That's okay.

Whether it's true or not.

As long as you are a man, you would not dare to gamble on such things.

So the magistrate, without saying a word, invited several martial arts masters from the county and brought a bunch of sword-wielding yamen runners to surround the county mansion. Then he had people rush into the house mentioned on the note to search it.

far away.

When Gu Yan saw this scene, the corners of his mouth curled up.

He began to concentrate, waiting for the moment when the gunfire would break out.

inside the house.

The old man hiding in the beam was meditating with his eyes closed, waiting for the owner of the house to come.

Sudden.

The noise outside the house caught his attention.

The old man frowned and circulated his energy and blood to his ears.

next moment.

His expression changed.

Someone actually gathered around.

He took out a mask and put it on his face, his expression gloomy: "Could it be that the beast who killed my beloved grandson is actually a government official?"

It's not impossible.

The imperial power of Lin Kingdom seems stable, but in fact, the real controllers of the seven prefectures are the noble families of each prefecture.

The various noble families only paid tribute to the royal family on a regular basis.

As for the secular officials, they are essentially dogs of the various families.

This makes sense.

The person who killed his beloved grandson was from the Qian family of Guang'an Prefecture!
No wonder that person knows how to steal souls!

Think of this.

The old man's face was filled with blood and murderous intent.

Since I can’t hide it, then don’t hide it!
Fight out!
