Codex of the Old Gods: I Have a World

Zhao Chuanxin's wrist shook suddenly, and dense short lines outlined the image of a young man wearing a silver collar.

The boy has a round face and wears a small felt hat. He stands in a bow stance with a fork in his hand and his pigtails flutter.

Under the moonlight in the melon field, the boy obviously wanted to stab something, but the melons blocked his view.

Zhou Shuren stared at the painting closely, and countless memories flooded into his mind.

He was shocked: "You, how do you know?"

Zhao Chuanxin was like a human printer, concentrating on painting and not answering.

After the whole painting was finished, he wrote next to it: Young Runtu.

Signed: From Zhao Xin to Lu Xun.

He blew a long breath towards the painting, probably exhaling as much air as the people around him could gasp.

"Tree man, this is for you."

Zhao Chuanxin is very familiar with this image.

I paint without thinking.

Zhou Shuren took the painting, but still found it incredible: "Are you really good at fortune-telling? Otherwise, how could you ..."

Runtu is not completely fictitious. His prototype is called Runshui, Zhang Runshui.

Zhao Chuanxin believed at the beginning that without the prototype, it would be impossible for Lu Xun to portray the image of Runtu so vividly.

Just like Zhao Chuanxin, if no one had ever met him, no one would be able to vividly describe him.

Before Zhao Chuanxin could speak, Gulizar took Zhao Chuanxin's arm and said, "Zhao Xin calculated it, and he is very accurate in fortune-telling. Just now, a young man named Ye Shaojun admired Zhao Xin so much that Zhao Xin left him a name - Ye Shengtao. There is also a middle-aged man named Xiong Xiling, who is the same..."

Zhou Shuren frowned habitually: "Then how does Mr. Zhao select the people to donate paintings to?"

Gulizar answered again: "It's fate. It's all fate."

Zhao Chuanxin was speechless. He took out his cigar and lit it: "You heard it all. Whatever she said is true."

It was actually just his bad taste, because due to the large flow of people, it was inevitable that some celebrities he had not yet come into contact with would appear.

Sit tight and wait for something to come to you, and it will eventually come.

Although the box was a dark box, there was a bronze eye inside, which was monitored by Xingyue.

Whenever someone Zhao Chuanxin knew appeared, he would keep some thoughts of him as a prank.

But I didn't expect to meet Brother Shuren.

This guy is amazing...

"Are you from outside the Great Wall?" Zhou Shuren's pupils suddenly contracted.

Just as Zhao Chuanxin was about to answer, he heard someone shout from behind: "Chuanxin, come over here and take a picture for us."

Zhao Chuanxin called the stall owner next to him: "Hey, you, keep an eye on it for me. If anyone asks about the price of the paintings in the booth, each painting costs one thousand dollars."

The stall owner next to him rolled his eyes and said, "Which sucker would come here?"

Zhao Chuanxin took Gulizar's hand and ran to find Liu Baogui.

Zhou Shuren was stunned as if struck by lightning.

Zhao Chuanxin thought these were celebrities, but these celebrities thought he was a more famous celebrity.

"Teacher, teacher, let's go. We can't afford a thousand dollars."

Zhou Shuren came back to his senses, looked at the painting in his hand, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I am so stupid, really."

"Teacher, what are you talking about?"

"Nothing, today was really fun."

He solemnly put away the painting, glanced at Zhao Chuanxin's back as he was taking a photo with others, and left with his students.

When Benjamin Goldberg and Yao Bing were passing by the Hebei special, Yao Bing suddenly heard someone say, "This thing is incredible! I tell you, this is a walnut that Emperor Qianlong played with. See the lines? They are all smoothed out! The lines are smoothed out, and there is no old mud inside. What does this mean? This means it is the real thing. Only emperors and generals would be so particular about it... Let me tell you, I sell it for 1 dollar, but if I take it outside, it will be worth at least dollars..."

These are not exhibitors in the exhibition halls of the venue, but vendors who set up stalls in corners.

Opposite him stood a blond-haired, blue-eyed foreign couple, who were trying to deceive him with saliva flying all over the place.

Yao Bing's eyes lit up, and he ran over and said, "I want this pair of walnuts."

"Okay, this young man has a sharp eye! Here's a dollar, take it away..."

Yao Bing interrupted him: "I only have two dimes."

"Two small dollars will do."

Yao Bing quickly paid the money, took the walnuts and left.

The foreign couple was stunned: "Aren't you selling it for one dollar? Why are you selling it for only two dimes?"

"Fate, do you understand fate? I guess you Jesus don't care about fate. This foreign god is really ignorant and has no skills. I wasted my breath..."

Yao Bing took the walnut and returned to Benjamin Goldberg: "Brother, this is for you. It's your Grain in Ear gift. It's said to be a Qianlong plate of walnuts. It costs at least a hundred dollars outside."

Benjamin Goldberg took the walnut in bewilderment: "Brother, you were cheated, weren't you?"

"No, if you don't believe me, go back and ask. It's over there."

Benjamin Goldberg took the walnut back and asked.

The vendor thought he was back to settle accounts with him, so he rolled his eyes and said, "This thing in your hand is worth at least a hundred dollars! You must keep it well and take it back as a family heirloom, for sure!"

Benjamin Goldberg was skeptical.

"Brother, what do you think? I didn't lie to you, did I? Let's go. I'll wait for you to give me a gun as a return gift."

When Benjamin Goldberg heard this, he thought it was not a loss, so he played with the walnut in his hand and went all the way to the special show in the three northeastern provinces.

"Master, we are here!"

Zhao Chuanxin was taking pictures of Liu Baogui: "Are you done yet? You've already taken fifteen pictures. Doesn't the film cost money?"

"Chao!" Liu Baogui said angrily, "Why are you so stingy now? How much money for a roll of film? Here, take this dollar and go buy a cold drink over there."

Zhao Chuanxin casually put the dollar in his pocket and turned around: "Where did you two little bastards go?"

"Master, we finally squeezed in." Benjamin Goldberg held up a walnut and said, "Master, look, this is a gift from my junior fellow apprentice for the Grain in Ear Festival. It was rubbed by Emperor Qianlong and is worth a hundred dollars."

Zhao Chuanxin took a look and said, "Uh... Your teacher is really ignorant. This walnut has been ground so hard that the kernel can be seen. It should be enough to make three Qianlong emperors. You keep it for now."

Yao Bing coughed and said, "Master, you don't understand antiques, so you can't talk nonsense."

"Okay." Zhao Chuanxin held Gulizar's hand and said, "I'll take you over there to buy popsicles. The money we just got hasn't even warmed up yet."

Zhao Chuanxin bought a newspaper on the roadside and read it while walking.

All I saw written on it was: "Watching the broom star at night will indicate that disaster is about to come."

It turns out that Halley's Comet came close to the Earth last month and was visible to the naked eye.

The Chinese call this a broom star, and the birth of a broom star is often accompanied by turmoil in the family or the country.

Some newspapers inferred from this that the world would be in chaos.

Zhao Chuanxin grimaced: "The jinx came at the perfect time."

Won’t things be chaotic next year?

Another piece of news took up the entire page: "Japan forced South Korea to sign the Japan-South Korea merger treaty."

Yao Bing looked at the popsicle stand covered with a quilt: "Master, why don't you leave?"

Zhao Chuanxin suddenly understood why there was no movement in Japan when he went to set off fireworks.

After the Meiji government overthrew the shogunate, it vigorously promoted militarism and the spirit of Bushido and vigorously developed the army, which led to the gradual expansion of the Japanese military and the gradual increase of its voice.

Even Hasegawa Yoshimichi sometimes dared to secretly disobey orders.

It can be seen that Meiji was also a warmonger with huge ambitions.

Can he tolerate Zhao Chuanxin shitting on Japan's head?

"So they wanted to annex South Korea first."

Zhao Chuanxin threw away the newspaper: "Let's go and eat popsicles."

Gulizar was very happy.

She followed Zhao Chuanxin's advice and went to study in Hong Kong Island. Her food, clothing, housing and transportation were all arranged by Li Guangzong, but she felt that she was further away from Zhao Chuanxin.

At least Zhao Chuanxin occasionally went to build the Peace Academy and returned to fly at least once a month.

But Zhao Chuanxin rarely goes to Hong Kong Island.

Finally she saw Zhao Chuanxin, and she almost never left his side.

Yao Bing asked Benjamin Goldberg in confusion: "The aunt in Lubin Mansion treated me very well. She was my master's wife. The aunt in Lugang Town was also my master's wife, but the one in front of me is too young."

Benjamin Goldberg kicked Yao Bing and said, "I advise you to mind your own business."

"Oh, I promise not to tell anyone when I get back."

Zhao Chuanxin helped Zhang Renjun a lot, at least arranging accommodation for Zhao Chuanxin in the venue.

In the evening, Benjamin and Yao Bing went back to watch a movie, while Zhao Chuanxin took Gulizar to the stadium to watch a basketball show.

Most of the players on the field are Chinese, but there are two Americans on one side. They are obviously proficient in basketball and they make the domestic players run around in circles.

The foreigners watching around cheered, while the Chinese people sighed.

"It's so boring to move a ball around," Gulizar commented.

Zhao Chuanxin laughed and said, "That's because you don't understand the rules."

"It's better to have a sheep-catching competition on horseback."

At this time, a blue ball rolled in front of Zhao Chuanxin.

Zhao Chuanxin said to Gulizar in a teasing tone: "Watch me."

After saying that, he let go of her hand and grabbed the basketball with one hand.

Seeing this, the two American players on the court looked at each other and stepped forward to stop it.

"The girl next to him is very beautiful."

"Let him make a fool of himself, then we can go and chat him up."

Basketball was invented by American James Naismith in 1891.

The original basketball was a bit like later football, a bit barbaric and rough.

The basketball hoop has a bottom, so if you throw the ball in, you still have to climb a ladder to get it out.

Later, everyone felt it was troublesome, so they removed the bottom of the basket.

First the venue facilities were improved, and then the rules were changed to increase the fun.

Basketball was introduced to China in 1895.

At the National Games held in China this year, basketball was listed as a performance event, which attracted a certain amount of attention. In order to increase its international influence, the Nanyang Industrial Exposition added a basketball court.

Zhao Chuanxin first took off his white T-shirt and handed it to Gulizar, revealing his muscular upper body.

It is said that people in the old days did not like muscular bodies. That is because what the ancients called muscular bodies were simply broad shoulders and a fat waist with extremely high body fat.

But if it’s someone like Zhao Chuanxin, it’s different.

At least at this time, there were exclamations from outside the venue, louder than the foreign women.

Zhao Chuanxin dribbled the ball onto the court.

The two American devils couldn't help but feel envious and jealous when they saw Zhao Chuanxin's physique won applause from the outside.

"Kid, if you fall down later, don't blame me for not reminding you that the ground is hard."

"You dare to take off your clothes? You're dead."

They underestimated Zhao Chuanxin and did not double-team him, but one of them stepped forward to intercept.

Zhao Chuanxin made continuous crotch moves, but easily shook off the opponent's position. He was floating when he made the layup, and he almost knocked the basket off when he dunked.

Boom!

The whole audience was stunned.

Gulizar, who had just said basketball was boring, jumped and shouted: "Xin Zhao is invincible!"

Zhao Chuanxin twisted his neck and said to the two American devils: "So easy!"

Before Zhao Chuanxin came on the court, the two of them were the focus of the audience.

Now, look what happens, Zhao Chuanxin has taken away all the limelight.

The two of them snorted: "Come again!"

The other Chinese players were just there to make up the numbers, but when they saw that Zhao Chuanxin was also Chinese, and was teaching two powerful American devils a lesson, they immediately cheered loudly.

One of them dribbled the ball while the other defended Zhao Chuanxin.

They are shameless two-on-one.

Zhao Chuanxin looked relaxed and feinted with boxing steps. When the defensive player followed up, Zhao Chuanxin suddenly retracted his steps, lightly bypassed him, stepped forward and snatched the basketball from the other player's hand with a slap.

Get out of the line and run back.

There were screams inside and outside the venue.

Zhao Chuanxin dribbled the ball with one hand and pointed at the two people with the other hand: "Little sprayer, you better be careful!"

After saying that, he rushed forward.

The two American devils were very nervous, thinking that Zhao Chuanxin was going to perform a miracle by doing a Kun-Zang or something.

As a result, after getting closer, Zhao Chuanxin suddenly crossed his steps, dribbled the ball, changed hands and changed direction drastically.

Although the amplitude is large, it is so fast that people can't react.

The two were caught off guard and Zhao Chuanxin glided in the air.

boom!

Dunk!

Zhao Chuanxin tilted his head and spread his hands: "Little troll, you have nothing to say, right?"

The two American devils who had been so arrogant were now dejected.

But the audience inside and outside the venue spontaneously applauded.

Even the foreigners applauded Zhao Chuanxin.

"Good job, man."

Zhao Chuanxin has only played basketball, and he is far from being good at it.

Firstly, basketball was still in its early stages of development at that time and there was not much technology to speak of.

Secondly, Zhao Chuanxin's control over himself has reached the peak of human beings on earth. He can possess Irving or Iverson.

Easy to handle.

He threw the basketball casually, walked to Gulizar, took the white T-shirt and put it on his broad shoulders, then took her hand and left happily.

It just left a legend on the court.

Gulizar said happily: "Zhao Xin, basketball is really fun."

"..." Zhao Chuanxin: "Do you know what you are talking about?"

“It’s just fun.”

Zhao Chuanxin lit a cigarette: "Some balls are hard and boring. Some balls are very interesting and soft, and you can play with them all day and all night."

"Eh? What ball are you talking about? I've never heard of it. Hydrangea?"

"Stop talking nonsense, let's go take a ride on a flower boat... no, let's take a ride on a painted boat."

In the evening, return to the residence.

Gulizar had shared a room with Lao Zhao before, but of course nothing happened.

During the day today, she seemed to realize that Zhao Chuanxin would not stay in Nanjing for long.

When Zhao Chuanxin was flipping through the "Code of the Old Gods" he suddenly felt two very interesting things behind his back.

Wouldn't this take a whole day and night?

……

A few days ago, some Japanese secretly crossed the river to Liudaogou to conduct surveying and were discovered by the Beishui Army. Ge Yunpeng ordered them to be killed on the spot.

The day before Dragon Boat Festival.

Liu Ai returned to Huining.

"What about Aries?"

Du Lisan said: "Today, Baiyang is on patrol duty and should be in the Nantian area."

The guards of the Chamber of Commerce outside the Great Wall must patrol in batches.

Liu Ai didn't ask any more questions and changed the subject, "Boss Du, let me tell you, our boss has just made two new movies. You must go and see how exciting they are..."

As they were talking, the guards of the foreign chamber of commerce suddenly came back to report: "It's bad. Captain Bai Yang was shot dead by the Japanese military police. His body is being transported back from Nantian."

The swordsmen flying in the sky are like brothers.

Even though everyone seems to dislike Liu Ai for being neither male nor female, if Liu Ai is really in danger, no one will just sit back and watch, and they will really take action if something happens.

Liu Ai did the same to them.

Hearing the bad news suddenly was like a bolt from the blue.

Liu Ai stood there in a daze, her whole body trembling, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably.

Du Lisan stood up suddenly and asked: "The Japanese are attacking us?"

"The Japanese crossed the border to survey and map the territory, saying that Korea had been annexed by Japan and Huining was now Japanese. Captain Bai tried to stop them, but the Japanese military police opened fire. We were outnumbered and retreated while fighting, with heavy casualties!"
