The mage in the late Qing Dynasty

In the late Qing Dynasty, the taboo against "dragon" was far less intense than before.

Dragons can be painted in newspapers and magazines, and some deformed patterns of "dragon" appear in folk costumes.

As long as it's a little more subtle, no one will meddle.

But the dragon was carved on the ring, and it was named - Capturing the Dragon.

It's like saying bad things about the Qing royal family is not enough, but you have to point your finger at Cixi and others in front of them and scream that I'm going to mess with you. Isn't that like lighting a lantern in the toilet - courting death!

Zhao Chuanxin didn't care what the two of them were thinking, and followed the same pattern, carving a tiger head ring face and a ring body.

Fortunately for A Ping, this person was born to be a craftsman, and he was focused on his work.

But the shopkeeper began to feel uneasy.

For a moment, he couldn't help but ask: "Monk, are you a rebel?"

Zhao Chuanxin looked shocked: "Comrade, are you comrade?"

This word has existed since ancient times.

The shopkeeper was so scared: "You, you, don't slander others, don't slander people..."

Zhao Chuanxin laughed: "Look, you are scared. How can you get around in the world with this little courage?"

The shopkeeper wiped the cold sweat from his forehead: "How can you use this kind of thing to attack?"

He finally saw it.

This monk is nothing special, he is so bold and unbridled.

The desire to wait for revenge could not help but fade a little.

This kind of person can do anything, so it's better to stay hidden.

The Capturing the Dragon and Subduing the Tiger rings were all welded, and A Ping went to work on the silk earrings designed by Zhao Chuanxin.

Zhao Chuanxin put the rings on his middle finger and index finger respectively.

The index finger is a dragon-capturing ring, which contains the piranha throat bone dug out from the tentacles of the bee leader.

The Fuhu Ring on the middle finger is equipped with the throat of a piranha brought back by the deceased.

Zhao Chuanxin eagerly wanted to try it, but the occasion was not suitable, so he suppressed his mood.

At this time, Aping gestured.

The shopkeeper said: "He wanted to decorate the center of the flower column with some silver millets."

Although the design was changed, Zhao Chuanxin was very generous: "Do it according to your ideas."

Aping was very happy to hear this.

The so-called silver millet is fried beads.

However, Aping did not use the bead blowing method.

He took thin pieces of silver, chopped them into pieces, and buried them in charcoal.

The carbon ash is contained in a metal disk that rotates.

Heat until the gold flakes melt and start rotating the plate.

Under the action of centrifugal force, the molten gold flakes rolled in a drop shape and condensed into tiny gold beads.

Zhao Chuanxin was eye-opening.

It’s okay not to accept it.

This is something he has never played before.

If it weren't for the elf carving knife, Zhao Chuanxin's methods would be far worse than A Ping's.

The gold spring is fixed, the styles are welded, and the silver millets are welded between the styles to look like stamens.

Peridot is embedded underneath.

Zhao Chuanxin assisted from the side, and A Ping was the main force. It didn't take much effort to complete the pair of earrings.

Zhao Chuanxin picked up the finished product, looked at it, and gave a thumbs up: "A Ping is awesome. If you are determined to open a store in the future, I can invest for you. Once you have the address, you can find a person named Li Guangzong to get it. Got the money.”

Shopkeeper: "..."

He refused to translate.

It was a good thing that the monk was able to tell the truth in front of him.

Zhao Chuanxin directly put the note into A Ping's hand, took out 20 yuan and gave it to A Ping: "This is your reward, your craftsmanship is worth this price."

After saying that, Zhao Chuanxin turned around and left.

A Ping stretched out his hand, but was speechless.

The shopkeeper stopped talking.

The two looked at each other and took steps to chase him out at the same time.

But where is Zhao Chuanxin anywhere outside?

The shopkeeper stamped his feet: "I saw a ghost in broad daylight. How did this man run so fast?"

While he was talking, Zhao Chuanxin was already a mile away.

After riding on the Misty Traveler for a while, we left the city.

Zhao Chuanxin saw a sparrow falling in the rice field. When the sparrows found him, they wanted to fly together in groups.

But as soon as they flapped their wings, Zhao Chuanxin came closer.

He turned the tiger's head of Fuhu Ring so that the tiger's mouth faced the inside of his finger belly, and drew the turquoise wheel on it with his thumb, making it look like he was holding an orchid finger.

There was no wind, but a group of sparrows, as well as dirt and gravel on the ground, came towards Zhao Chuanxin.

Zhao Chuanxin: "..."

He quickly pressed the wheel with his thumb and turned to the left quickly, avoiding the dirt, gravel and sparrows.

Stopping, he looked back and saw many sparrows on the ground being beaten to death and knocked unconscious by gravel and soil.

I blanch!

The leader of the bee people can suck a person accurately with his tentacles.

But as soon as Zhao Chuanxin took a breath, it was overwhelming.

He got off the Misty Traveler, still feeling frightened.

He went back and picked up the sparrows on the ground, broke the necks of the ones that were still alive, and put them all into bags. There were dozens of them.

He saw a palm-sized boulder on the ground seven or eight meters away. This time he used the Dragon Capturing Ring.

The wheel rotates and the palm of the hand is pointed at the pebble.

Whoosh...

The pebble flew back, and Zhao Chuanxin held it with his five fingers.

He was ready to release the force, but found that the force of the boulder when it came close to his palm was very small, at least it would not hurt him.

How is this going?

The piranha throat bones captured by the dead souls are very violent, and the piranha throat bones of the bee leader can be aimed at a single target.

Setting foot on the Misty Traveler again, he was distracted by two things. While running, he sucked in all kinds of things he could see from time to time.

First of all, he was sure that the suction force was not the force of the wind.

Secondly, the Fuhu Ring has a range of suction power, while the Capturing Dragon Ring has a single target suction power.

The range of Fuhu Ring is about ten meters.

The range of the Dragon Capturing Ring is nearly twenty meters.

The objects attracted by Fuhu Ring may hurt Zhao Chuanxin.

The Dragon Capturing Ring does not. Whether it is a stone or a piece of wood, the kinetic energy seems to remain unchanged.

He can absorb a boulder weighing two hundred kilograms, but the power of the Dragon Capturing Ring cannot shake a big tree rooted in the soil.

When the wheel moves, it absorbs; when the wheel stops, it stops.

Zhao Chuanxin ran to the canal in one breath and saw that there were many people joining in the fun.

It turns out that every time before the Chinese New Year, the local gentry would go back to the United Union to collect money and invite a theater troupe to perform "performances" for a few days. Because it is close to the Cao River and the Canal, and not far from the Yangtze River, the people here live a relatively prosperous life. Set up a stage and sing an opera, have fun at the end of the year.

An open-air stage was set up, and the play was - "The Romance of the West Chamber".

There were so many people that it was difficult to find Benjamin Goldberg and the others.

But the Rolls-Royce was too eye-catching, and Zhao Chuanxin found them at a glance.

Three people and one dog were listening to the play attentively.

Abao said angrily: "Sun Feihu, the rebel general guarding the bridge, is really hateful!"

Benjamin Goldberg said: "The only thing I blame is Zhang Sheng. He is a useless scholar and nothing. If it were me, humph, I would cook the rice first, and then peel Mrs. Cui... …”

Zhao Yixian shook his head: "The moonlight is melting in the night, the flowers are in the shadows and the spring is silent. How can I face the bright soul and not see the man in the moon! What a beautiful poem."

Ganfan: "Woof woof woof..."

At this time, a voice came from behind them: "If Sun Feihu, the rebel general who defends the bridge, is as handsome as his teacher, then it will be really hard not to fall in love with Cui Yingying, and she will directly fall in love with him."

The three of them turned around in shock.

Abao was very into the drama and very angry: "That's nonsense. Cui Yingying is not that kind of person."

Zhao Chuanxin laughed: "If my teacher were Zhang Sheng, and he had a troublesome mother-in-law like Mrs. Cui, wouldn't it be nice to marry a few Cui Yingying to find Wei Shangshu's daughter?"

This time, it caused public outrage.

Not only Abao, but also the people around him glared at Zhao Chuanxin.

"What are you talking about?"

"You are so unworthy of a man!"

"What a ruthless and merciless monk, ah tui..."

"Amitabha." Zhao Chuanxin clasped his hands together and sang: "Guan Guan Jiu, in the river continent. In the world, there are gentle ladies and monks. They are greedy for a meeting like flowers in the moon and the mirror, and they end happily and part ways. …”

Good guy, is this monk speaking human language?

Is it a serious song?

Some people are already gearing up, showing their arms and rolling up their sleeves, ready to perform a full martial arts show.

When Zhao Yixian saw it, he was so frightened that he quickly pulled Zhao Chuanxin away.

If they don't be taken away, people will die soon - the people don't know how many people will die.

Zhao Chuanxin said: "I asked you to inquire about the ship, but you are still kidding."

Benjamin Goldberg said: "Master, I contacted the ship. I also went to the post and telecommunications office to send a telegram to Uncle Li and asked him to send someone to pick up the ship."

Uncle Li is Li Guangzong.

"What ship to take?"

"Mail our Rolls-Royce to Shanghai and then to Hong Kong Island. Master, if you have no heirs, I may inherit this car in the end, so we can't let it go to waste."

Zhao Chuanxin: "..."

What the hell is the succession?

Abao and Zhao Yixian couldn't hold back their laughter.

After the play was finished, the dock workers reluctantly came to load the ship.

At this time, cars were very light in weight and small in size. As long as they had enough money, loading them into ships was a breeze for dock workers.

While the car was being transported away, four people and one dog were waiting at the pier for the river cruise to Zhenjiang Prefecture.

What’s next at the pier is no longer an opera, but a martial arts performance.

While waiting for the boat, don’t forget to watch the excitement.

But seeing swords and guns coming and going on the stage, every shot seemed to hit a vital point, every knife seemed to cut off a person's head, but at the critical moment he could barely avoid it, which made the audience infatuated. If drunk, he cheers loudly and throws copper coins on the stage from time to time.

Benjamin Goldberg also took out two dimes and bumped them in his palm. Zhao Chuanxin said coldly: "If you dare to throw it away, don't eat at noon. This money will be used as your meal money."

Benjamin Goldberg sneered and put the change for the telegram back into his pocket.

He pointed to the stage and said, "Master, what if they suddenly become distracted while they are fighting?"

"What should we do?" Zhao Chuanxin rubbed his chin: "It should be done according to local customs. When it's time to beat the gong, when it's time to blow the suona, it's time to blow the suona."

Three people and one dog were silent: "..."

Finally the river boat came.

Several people got on the small river ship. When the time came, the whistle sounded and the ship slowly left the dock.

Because the journey was not far, many people stood on the deck and watched the scenery on both sides.

A child with an upturned bun pointed at the canal and cheered: "Mom, look, there are river pigs, there are river pigs..."

Zhao Chuanxin and others followed the sound, and sure enough, there was a row of white shadows shuttled between the waves on the river, arching one after another, there were six or seven, and the backs that jumped out of the water were all white.

Zhao Chuanxin took a look and realized that this should be Baiji dolphin.

It has almost become extinct in later generations. It is said to be functionally extinct, probably because nature cannot reproduce effectively.

Boating on the river is completely different from that on the sea.

Going up the river, the villages, mountains, rivers, farmers, and shepherd boys on both sides of the river are intertwined into a characteristic picture of this era, which slowly unfolds in front of everyone.

By the river, a fisherman released an osprey and fished in the water.

Get off the net at the same time, a two-pronged approach.

The child with the upturned bun shouted: "Mom, that person has trapped Jiang Zhu..."

Zhao Chuanxin sighed.

He is not an animal activist.

He simply likes to be lively and lively on earth. When he was a child, he fantasized about resurrecting dinosaurs.

Come on, Tyrannosaurus Rex, please integrate into our global village.

Seeing that a finless porpoise was really caught in the net, Zhao Chuanxin climbed over the side of the ship and was about to jump.

Then the child shouted again: "Mom, that monk wants to jump into the river, why can't he think about it?"

Zhao Chuanxin pursed his lips and raised his hands to the sky: "The world is deteriorating and people's hearts are not as old as before. The poor monk has been begging for alms for several days, but no one has given alms. The poor monk has died..."

The child grabbed the corner of his mother's clothes and said anxiously: "Mom, give him some of our dry food..."

His mother: "Shh, don't yell, there's not much dry food left."

At this time, poof...

Child:"……"
