Chapter 14: The Silver Moon
"The world is more 'colorful' than I imagined...... It's a pity that my strength is low, and I don't even have the qualifications to know more about it......"
At night, Zhao Chen, who was sitting in front of the desk, admired the "Dayu Water Control Map" copied by the original owner hanging on the wall, while recalling the fascinating stories of the rivers and lakes told by the master before.
Even if the master repeatedly exaggerated the horror and strangeness of the demon in his words, it still didn't make Zhao Chen feel scared, but aroused his strong interest.
——As a graduate student who actively chose to major in archaeology, Zhao Chen initially had the idea of being able to dig out one or two "zongzi" with his mentor...... Unfortunately, it has never been possible.
"The sword slashes the evil dragon and dreds the dam, and the axe splits the willow and shakes the sky."
Staring at the couplet of poems on the desk, Zhao Chen thought excitedly in his heart:
"According to the master, this is the poem number of the ancestor of 'Yu Wangzong'...... When will I be able to have such a domineering name?
"However, although I am still a weak chicken now, in the future, there will be a place for me Zhao in the rivers and lakes of Great Xia!"
After making a declaration in his heart, Zhao Chen gradually calmed down, and prepared to try "meditation" again before going to bed, first, to verify the effect of the "soothing incense" that the master sold him, and secondly, to go to the "Great Sun Xingcha" to see if the original owner's "commission" had been completed.
After all, the monsters that Fang Xuzi and Aunt Mei turned into had been killed by the 'Hongxia Sword', and all his direct enemies had been killed, and the revenge should be revenged.
But at this moment, the little girl Fengqu walked in after knocking on the door, still carrying a bag in his hand.
Since Fengqu dared to follow him even when he was being chased by monsters, Zhao Chen now trusted him more, and asked in a gentle tone: "Fengqu, what's the matter?" ”
"Second Young Master, it was Madame who sent something to you." As Fengqu spoke, he handed the bag in his hand to Zhao Chen.
Madam? The stepmother of the original owner? What can she send me? While wondering in his heart, Zhao Chen opened the bag, and then took out a silver firearm that was a little longer than the normal revolver barrel from it.
In addition to this, there are two boxes of shells.
One of the boxes contained 12 rounds, all of which were yellow and clear copper-shelled fixed ammunition;
On the other box, a yellow talisman was attached to it, and through the transparent glass lid, it was vaguely visible that it contained a crimson warhead.
"Sister Lichun, who sent the bag, said, Madame is worried that you will be in danger again, young master, so I will give you this revolver for self-defense...... Of these two boxes of bullets, one of them is just an ordinary bullet...... The other box is a 'spell' bullet, which is sealed with the power of the 'Hongxia Sword'...... It's just that the bullet must be fired within half a minute after opening the talisman on the box, otherwise the power will become weaker and weaker, and it will completely turn into an ordinary bullet after a minute.
"Madame originally wanted to give you this firearm as a parting gift when you set off for the county town, young master, but now the situation is special, so I sent it over in advance."
Fengqu stumbled and repeated the words of the maid in the lady's yard, and there was no broken mouth at all.
This stepmother is long-sleeved and good at dancing, and she can take care of my stepson even better than the original owner's own father...... Regardless of whether she really cared about me or just wanted to repair the rift in my family caused by this incident, this gift was what I needed most at the moment......
In short, I received this love.
Zhao Chen pretended to be silent for a moment before he instructed Fengqu: "I have accepted this gift...... You go tell Lichun and ask her to express her gratitude to my mother on my behalf. ”
"Yes, Second Young Master." Feng Qu saw that his young master had accepted the gift, and responded happily, turned around and walked out of the room.
It's also a useless one, and when I go to see a little girl, I can't even say anything! Zhao Chen laughed and scolded in his heart, and then he couldn't put it down and played with the silver revolver.
After a few moments, he opened the box containing the ordinary bullets and loaded the yellow bullets into the runner.
Syllable!
He closed the wheel and placed the gun in the matching pouch and hung it around his waist.
Zhao Chen, who has traveled and adventured in many countries, is no stranger to firearms, and he only regained his feel after only a little familiarity.
Then, he took a few deep breaths to calm his mood, then lit a "soothing incense", and put on the static pile posture in the "Taiyi Five Elements Fist", and began to try to "enter the meditation".
After more than ten seconds, perhaps it was the "Tranquility Fragrance" that really worked, Zhao Chen successfully regained the feeling he had in the morning, and sketched the charm of the "Jiuyao Gold Medal" in his mind.
The next moment, he found himself back in the "Great Sun Star Cha", and sat on the seat made of six golden dragons coiled.
"Succeeded......" While muttering a sentence in his mouth, Zhao Chen also checked his body, and found that the gun pouch, ammunition box, and revolver hanging from his waist were also brought into the Xingcha.
"Can you bring in the real thing? No, maybe it's just a projection or something, like the clothes I'm wearing......"
Zhao Chen didn't pay much attention to it, and directly stretched out his right hand to "click" the shining "Jade Book" on the bookcase in front of him, and then unsurprisingly saw two new items in the "Commodities for Sale" column:
"Famous Gun: Silver Moon, created by Tao Zhou, the master of Dunhuang Casting Gong, within fifteen steps, the power is comparable to that of an ordinary seven-trick monk with all his strength.
"The standard recycling price of Xingcha is 40 Star Coins."
"'Hongxia Bullet', sealed with a Yan Hongxia's natal spell 'Red Emperor Yangyuan Sword Qi', has fifty percent of the power of the spell.
"The standard recycling price of Xingcha is 30 Star Coins."
Hey? The price of that revolver turned out to be more expensive than the bullet that sealed the blow of the "Hongxia Sword"? Zhao Chen was a little surprised at first when he saw this, after all, he had seen with his own eyes how strong Yan Hongxia's sword qi was, and more than a dozen firecrackers shot a monster that could not be killed after several rounds in a row, and was burned to ashes by one of his swords.
But in combination with the master's teachings in the past two days, he immediately reacted: since the master named Tao Zhou was able to improve the revolver and make it more powerful, it means that he has mastered the principle of making guns...... However, the knowledge of this world is "poisonous", and the improvement of "principles" will inevitably suffer from all kinds of "pollution", and the value is naturally higher.
In the turn of his thoughts, Zhao Chen turned the "Jade Book" to the "mortgage" page of the original owner, and found that the "memory" of the original owner had become exchangeable, but his soul and the calligraphy, painting and other abilities he had learned for more than ten years were still in a state of "mortgage".
In other words, the "Great Sun Xingcha" does not recognize that I have avenged the original owner...... Do you have to wait for all the people in the "Xinguang Temple" to be caught?
Fortunately, the memory of the original owner has been completely "unlocked", and the rest is not very important......
As for the 250 star coins I owe, it can be offset by the sale of the "Golden Mansion Jade Room Twelve Gates Xingqi Secret Record" and the master's annotations.
