It's not a long story, because it's just a relatively small episode in the master's magnificent life.

At the time of that incident, that master already had a high status in Coastal City, and there was no shortage of people on the turf, so it stands to reason that there was no need to compete with others for anything.

But for people like them, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are rivers and lakes, there will inevitably be fights.

According to the agreement, the master will negotiate with another group of people that day.

In fact, the so-called 'negotiation' of people like them often has little to do with the word 'talk', and very few of them can really complete the whole process by simply relying on talks.

Generally speaking, the regular process is to choose a place in the wilderness suitable for hands-on fights and bury people, two groups of people stand together, you say what you want, I say what I want, and then find that there is a conflict between the territory and other aspects that each other wants, they will politely ask each other, can you give me this part?

Of course, under normal circumstances, the other party will not agree, so the other party will further ask: Why do you want to let or not?

The two sides still refused to give in to each other, so the negotiations moved on to the next stage: the start of the fight.

When the fight is over, which side can stand in the end will have the final say.

During that time, it happened that the master met a monk who had attained the Tao in his spare time, and he would talk about the scriptures and the Tao with the monk whenever he had time.

When he saw the master, he said that the master was heavy on his body, and he should do more good deeds and kill less, otherwise sooner or later he would create retribution.

In terms of verbal kung fu, the master is indeed not as good as the monk, so after a period of mutual hatred, the master gradually was a little convinced by the monk, and he sincerely wanted to try to make himself kinder.

So that morning, when he added gunpowder and ammunition to his new 'earthen gun', he relented and did not put it in the standard dose.

The so-called 'earthen gun' can actually be understood as a relatively primitive firearm. At first glance, the shape of the earthen gun is similar to that of a later rifle, but the technical content is very low.

Every time you want to use it, you have to put a certain amount of gunpowder to power it down the thick and long barrel, and then a certain amount of steel balls to use it as bullets, and then you can fire it once.

After firing once, you have to wait for a while, and after the barrel has cooled a little, you can fire the gunpowder and steel balls again, and then fire another shot.

This kind of earthen gun is not accurate, every time it is fired, it is a steel ball sprayed indiscriminately, and it has an effect with a shotgun, and the effective range is not far, because the force of gunpowder is so great, and there is no lethality five or six meters away.

Speaking of which, although this home-made heating weapon is chicken, it did have its special purpose when it was designed, that is, to hunt some large animals.

For example, tigers and bears, which are larger than people and have stronger ability to fight alone, when hunters encounter this animal in the forest, they are often not afraid of people, and even use people as mobile food without fear and take the initiative to attack people.

In this case, the use of bows and arrows, knives, and drops of blood is not particularly easy to use, only this kind of earthen gun is simply perfect.

As long as the hunter's reaction speed is fast enough, when the large animals are getting closer to the hunters to a certain point, aim, shoot, and in an instant, the steel balls will be like a goddess scattering flowers, a net attack, not to mention anything else, at least it will definitely be able to suppress the other party.

If a few of them happen to hit the opponent's vital parts such as eyes, it will be considered a big profit.

Because there are no large animals in Binhai City, there are almost no such earth guns, and the master of this earth gun is also sent by a friend outside his customs, mainly to create a momentum when there is something, and I don't really expect this thing to play a big role in actual combat, after all, the efficiency is too low.

Because he didn't expect to kill people with this thing, and the master was guided by the monk, he was more soft-hearted recently, so he was kind and only filled the earth with half of the usual gunpowder and steel balls.

And his 'good fate' is also reflected in the softness of his heart at this time.

Because the master has been trying to maintain his reputation of 'one person and one knife all over the world', he usually encounters similar occasions, and he will not use the earthen gun himself.

On this day, too, he habitually handed over the earthen pistol to one of his sworn brothers, and the sworn brother, as usual, stood behind the master with the clay pistol.

At this moment, the master really didn't know that his brother had been bought by the other party, and decided to take this opportunity to kill him and replace him.

Later, during the negotiation, at the critical moment, the benevolent brother with the earthen gun shot the master in the back, and the master reacted quickly to the ground and pretended to be dead, and then listened to the sworn brother who betrayed him perform what it means to 'die of a villain from talking too much'.

By the way, the master's fake death tricked out a few of his subordinates who had already intended to betray him, and they also chose to defect at the instigation of the traitor brother.

Then the master slowly stood up, and together with the brothers who would rather die than betray him just now, they cut back one by one.

By the way, the person who also fooled the other party said that he was a vajra protector, an immortal golden body, and the gun had no effect on himself.

The negotiation ended in a complete victory, the master did not kill his sworn brother, and he thanked his sworn brother for helping him deceive those men who had long harbored evil intentions. It's just that during the celebration that night, the sworn brother who betrayed him choked to death while drinking.

No one cared about the real cause of this person's death, they only knew that everyone here was a person who would not betray the master, and they also saw the end of betraying the master.

Before the celebration banquet that night, the master took the time to ask the doctor to help pull out seven steel balls from his back, and after simply stopping the bleeding, he didn't care anymore.

After a period of time, he formed such an irregular seven gun scars on his back, for which the master has always felt very emotional, if it wasn't for his good thoughts at that time, then he would definitely be bombarded into honeycomb coal, this is probably called 'the present world', right?

When he told the monk about his experience, the monk felt that this was normal, and took the opportunity to persuade him to do more good deeds in the future. I'll never leave my back defenseless to anyone again.

Later, in order to commemorate this incident, the master carved seven points at the root of his knife according to the distribution of the gun scars on his back. In his own words, the back is not often visible, but it can be seen every day engraved on the knife, so that he can remind himself to always remember this and not be careless.
