Haven’t you seen how miserable those martial arts masters in Fang Xiaoyue’s original world were when faced with firearms?
As soon as guns and cannons came out, the national arts declined!
To put it bluntly, Fang Xiaoyue now doesn't even have the ability to protect herself in front of firearms.
And in this time period of this plane, it's not just a matchlock gun.
Flintlock guns using paper cartridges have been fully equipped with many great powers, including the Lidian Kingdom!
And Fang Xiaoyue clearly knows that next year, the first metal cartridge rifle in this dimension will be successfully developed!
In fact, in any plane, once the metal cartridge rifle appears, there will basically be no major changes in individual weapons in the future, and they will only be optimized and continued to be optimized on this basis.
Whether it is later machine guns, sniper rifles, metal shell artillery, etc., its basic form will not change much.
Unless a new generation of revolutionary weapons such as electromagnetic guns and laser cannons appear.
Apart from anything else, Fang Xiaoyue cannot resist a flintlock gun whose shooting speed is several times that of a matchlock gun.
In short, I should spend my energy on cultivation now.
First set a small goal: the peak of mankind!
Well, in fact, Fang Xiaoyue achieved this small goal in three days.
He has been practicing in the dream for more than thirty years, but the traces reflected on his body in reality last for more than ten years.
For a great Xingyiquan martial arts master like Fang Xiaoyue, ten years of training is enough to reach the pinnacle of humankind.
By this time, he had some ability to protect himself.
At least when someone is aiming at him, he can avoid it in advance, which is enough.
Fang Xiaoyue didn't plan to stay in the cave for long.
There are two reasons for this. First, at this point in his rapid cultivation method, he needs some external objects to assist him. He tries to activate the basic rules of leveraging the plane and start cultivating immortality.
Even if there are foreign objects that Fang Xiaoyue needs deep underground in this mountain forest, it is definitely not more convenient to dig them out by yourself than to buy them in human society.
The second thing is that he needs to go back to Donglin County as soon as possible.
Because according to memory, his only biological sister will die in two months.
And his biological sister is only two years older than him, and is only 32 years old now.
In Fang Xiaozhen's memory, the person he felt most sorry for was neither his father nor his unmarried daughter-in-law, but his sister.
His sister has been very good to him since he was a child. Whatever he wants, her sister will find a way to buy it for him even in spite of his father's scolding.
Well, in fact, 80% of all the books on immortality that Fang Xiaozhen had before his father passed away were bought by his sister with her own money.
And before he lost his family fortune, he never thought of sending a sum of money to his sister.
In short, if Fang Xiaozhen's regret can be made up for, I believe the completion of the main mission will be able to exceed the upper limit.
Carrying an exquisite bamboo basket made by herself, Fang Xiaoyue left the cave and hit the road.
This mountain forest is actually very primitive.
There are trees, shrubs, and vines everywhere.
You can encounter wild animals everywhere.
The traces of human beings are just some mountain paths covered with vines and weeds.
Due to the raging war, no one has entered this forest for a long time.
Most of the nearby mountain people and villagers fled.
The wisdom left by their ancestors prevented them from staying in the village and waiting for disaster to happen.
To them, neither the officers nor the rebels are good people.
A thief passes like a comb and a soldier passes like a grate. This is no joke in this era.
The soldiers of the Kingdom of God on earth have been collecting food from everywhere during this time.
For the commander of this army, His Highness King Zuo, this is not the Southern Capital, but the territory of Qing Yao!
What do the people here care about him?
Collecting enough food and preparing for the next battle goal is what he, the army commander, should consider.
As for how many more people will starve to death?
It's okay, the Son of God will pray for them.
Not to mention the officers and soldiers who came to suppress the bandits and encircle the Kingdom of God’s army on the ground.
They are official bandits.
They may not be very good at fighting, but they are definitely good at robbing people.
No matter where you are, a wealthy businessman or something, if you are accused of being a bandit, you will be beheaded and your wealth will be confiscated... and put into the pockets of all the military lords.
Even the very powerful local wealthy businessmen behave like this in front of these guys, and ordinary people can only imagine this.
If you have any beautiful girls or charming little wives at home, remember to hide them, otherwise, if they see them, you will definitely suffer disaster.
As for going into the village to fetch a cow, catch a chicken, etc., these are ordinary and trivial matters.
This is a family of soldiers and bandits!
After leaving the forest according to his memory, Fang Xiaoyue followed the official road, bypassed the checkpoints set up by Zuo Wang's army, and returned to Donglin County.
Traveling during the day and sleeping on the spot at night can be described as sleeping in the open air.
By the time he rushed back to Donglin County after a long journey, he was already dressed in ragged clothes, with a full beard and tangled hair. He looked no different from a beggar.
So after he entered the city, the gatekeeper held his nose and waved him in without even confiscating the city gate tax.
This is not surprising. The world is in chaos now and there are beggars everywhere.
Seven or eight beggars like this come into the city every day in order to survive.
The doorman is also a kind-hearted person, otherwise, the beggar would definitely not be allowed to enter.
After all, there are too many refugees these days. Who knows if you might join the city and cause trouble?
Looking at the familiar streets, Fang Xiaoyue's memories immediately came to mind, making Fang Xiaoyue feel emotional.
After this trip, I hope there will be a good result.
Of course, there are some benefits to coming back from this trip.
At least, while sleeping in the open air, he had made some modifications to the previous fast training method according to the basic rules of this plane, giving it a little ability to leverage the rules of the plane in disguise.
To put it simply, he has cultivated the first trace of spiritual energy in his body.
This plane is an extremely rigorous technological plane, and there are no supernatural phenomena. Therefore, aura, which is a high-level thing among supernatural phenomena, naturally does not exist in this plane.
But it doesn't matter. Fang Xiaoyue can't leverage the rules of the plane now, but he regards his body as a semi-independent world and rebuilds his body bit by bit in the process of cultivation.
It temporarily isolates one's body from the outside world, and stirs up some rules in one's own body, thus allowing the phenomenon of aura to be born within the body.
Of course, this kind of behavior is just like breathing in water. It is extremely difficult, but breathing in water can always be done, and leveraging the rules of the entire plane is like making a fire in water, which is even more difficult.
.
That's why Fang Xiaoyue chose this approach at this time.
