Codex of the Old Gods: I Have a World

This old guy Liu Yonghe had an ominous life in the first half of his life. In the second half of his life, he spent half dealing with Tsarist Russia and the other half fighting Japan.

Born in a humble family, he was used to using unruly methods in the beginning and made mistakes later on, but he is still stronger as he grows older and becomes more courageous with each setback.

Originally, he would have died on the battlefield, which was his wish, but Zhao Chuanxin suddenly heard that he was brutally killed by the Japanese.

The single word "abuse" made Zhao Chuanxin's veins bulge.

He had been mentally prepared that his old friends would inevitably leave him one by one.

The closer it got to the year of Xinhai, the more unstable Zhao Chuanxin's emotions became.

That was not the beginning of a good life, it was the prelude to a stormy life.

As a result, he had been killing too much recently, and his heart had become even more violent.

Even civil servants from the government office would walk around it when passing by, as if they were avoiding an everlasting iceberg.

Cui Fenghua carefully explained the circumstances of Liu Yonghe's death.

"When Brigadier General Liu heard that the imperial court had signed a treaty with Japan, he was already angry. Seeing the Japanese wantonly inserting road signs, surveying and mapping across the border, and trying to connect the railway, he couldn't help but feel hopeless. When he led his men to shoot the Japanese, he was betrayed by a traitor and was surrounded by the Japanese army. The Japanese soldier who led the troops was named Takaki Tono. He accurately predicted where Brigadier General Liu would be staying. He did not use artillery, but led his men to encircle and persuade them to surrender. Brigadier General Liu led his men to fight with their last shot and bullet, but was shot in the thigh by a Japanese sharpshooter, and the rest were killed in the battle. After Brigadier General Liu was captured, the Japanese pulled out his fingernails and toenails and broke all his teeth. Brigadier General Liu never said a word, and only told the Japanese soldier on his deathbed that Captain Zhao would avenge him."

How old is Liu Yonghe?

If I’m not sixty, I’m probably close to it.

This man, who was an expert marksman, once lived in the outlaw army but hated evil and fought bravely against the Russian Empire and the Japanese invaders.

When he got old, this was the end of him.

Zhao Chuanxin asked Cui Fenghua: "What agreement did the Qing government sign with the devils?"

"The Jiandao Agreement..."

Cui Fenghua explained the contents of the agreement to Zhao Chuanxin in detail.

Zhao Chuanxin asked the traitor's name again.

"There is a Tianbao Mountain near Longjing. In the 15th year of Emperor Guangxu's reign, refugees mined silver in the Hongshilazi of Tianbao Mountain, which was later occupied by local officials. Later, the Japanese invaders crossed the border and drove the officials away. The Japanese invaders drove them away again, and later the local tyrant Feng Yuzheng occupied the mine. When Brigadier General Liu learned about this, he took over the mine and used the silver earned from mining as military funds for the Beishui Army. Feng Yuzheng was resentful, so he secretly colluded with the Japanese and tipped off the Japanese, which eventually led to the tragedy."

Zhao Chuanxin frowned: "What about Lugang Town? Is there any movement?"

The Beishui Army is an independent army and has an ambiguous relationship with Lugang Town, but they do not interact with it openly.

"Captain Li is the closest friend of Brigadier General Liu and wants to lead troops to support us. However, the 20th Japanese Army is gathering in Zhongjiang County and is eyeing us covetously. If we divide our forces, the Japanese army on the other side of the Yalu River may launch an attack."

Cui Fenghua originally came from the Beishui Army, but because he was timid, he did logistics and clerical work.

Later, he was transferred to Lubin Prefecture by Zhao Chuanxin.

Cui Fenghua started to cry as he spoke: "Sir, many of our old brothers died in the battle. They died tragically..."

Zhao Chuanxin patted him on the shoulder and said to himself, "Little devils, how do you want me to prove that your uncle is your uncle after all?"

He did not say anything, nor did he deal with his official business. He left the government office on his own, rode his camel, and went to look for Benjamin Goldberg.

Benjamin Goldberg is teaching art as a substitute.

"Junior brother, please be more serious. The formula I taught you is the key to using the Soul-Bewitching Lamp. The Soul-Bewitching Lamp can restore these reactions and achieve the purpose of purification. If you can't remember it, you will never understand what you purified."

"Junior brother, why are you distracted again?"

"Junior brother..."

Benjamin Goldberg was sweating profusely while teaching.

Yao Bing's head was full of question marks: "Big Brother, I really don't understand. How about you teach me how to use a gun? Master must have taught you very advanced gun skills. No? Then you can use a sword or a knife."

"Ah this..."

Zhao Chuanxin pushed the door open and walked in: "I will teach you some real skills."

The two looked up and said in surprise, "Master."

Zhao Chuanxin looked at Benjamin Goldberg and said, "Benjamin, you have to promise me one thing."

"Master, what's so serious?"

Zhao Chuanxin looked out the window with his hands behind his back: "In the future, you can stay in China, return to the United States, or go to Europe. But no matter where you are, you must not do anything that harms China. Otherwise, I will really peel off your skin."

"Master, if someone wants to harm me, should I not resist?"

"The greatest heroes serve their country and their people. You judge for yourself."

Benjamin Goldberg muses.

Zhao Chuanxin looked at Yao Bing and said, "The same goes for you. If you dare to betray the country, I will not forgive you."

"Yes, Master." Yao Bing was confused.

But at this moment the Master was extremely strict.

Zhao Chuanxin put sunglasses on Benjamin Goldberg's face.

"Remember the pattern first. The route formed by the three-dimensional pattern is the route where energy converges. This is called the fourth dimension. Perhaps you still cannot understand it, but as long as it can be gathered between your fingers..."

Before he could finish his words, a red light flashed on Benjamin Goldberg's fingers.

"Zhao..." Zhao Chuanxin was shocked.

Why do people have such a strong sense of difference?

Before he had completed the essentials, Benjamin Goldberg was already able to follow Xingyue's instructions and successfully condense a level 1 light blade.

Yao Bing was surprised to see the red light between Benjamin Goldberg's fingers and reached out to touch them: "Master, look..."

Zhao Chuanxin slapped his fingers away.

If you're slower, you'll be cut off by the blade of light.

At this moment, Benjamin Goldberg's finger slid across the corner of the table, and the corner was neatly cut off. Yao Bing gasped: "Oh..."

Then he said excitedly: "Master, teach me."

Zhao Chuanxin took the sunglasses off Benjamin Goldberg's face and put them on Yao Bing.

Benjamin Goldberg volunteered: "Master, I will teach you my art."

Without further ado, he began to instruct Yao Bing.

About ten minutes later, a red light popped out from between Yao Bing's fingers.

Zhao Chuanxin: "..."

Jueyuan and Zhang Junbao are a stupid master and a talented apprentice. Zhao Chuanxin could never have imagined that one day he would become a negative example.

Zhao Chuanxin coughed and said, "This is called Light Blade, a rune. The reason I teach you this is because the world is about to get into chaos, and I want you to have more skills to protect yourself. If you are poor, you can take care of yourself, and if you are rich, you can help the world. It all depends on your future luck."

Benjamin Goldberg said, "Master, I feel that this rune still has room for improvement and its power should be far more than this."

"Alright, alright, I understand. I will teach you after I create my own runes. Don't be too ambitious or too eager for quick success. We are the orthodox sect of Xuanmen."

"..."

Why does Master look a little guilty?

After teaching the level 1 Light Blade Rune, Zhao Chuanxin talked about weapons and ammunition.

Benjamin Goldberg said, "That's easy. I can just send a telegram to Hankou. But where is the buyer? How can I deliver the goods to his door?"
