Chapter 5: Shipwrecked (5)
Glass, black powder, and the steam engine were the three major inventions of the world at the end of the civilizational era.
Black powder and the steam engine kept the age of civilization alive for another hundred years, and the emperors, their prime ministers, and their love would celebrate it.
They boasted that not a single 10,000 undue courage could stand up to the new army of the imperial capital -- no, 10,000 unjust courage could not resist the new army of the imperial capital.
The 30,000 new army has ten steps and one sentry, five steps and one post, and there is no defensive blind spot.
Their continuous firecrackers could fire twenty rounds in a row, and a ten-breath platoon shot could sieve-out any moving object within thirty feet.
Not to mention, the outer city of the imperial capital is also guarded with 500 thunder carts made of stainless steel, and a single charge of the thunder cart can directly blast a big hole in the city wall, and each thunder cart is also equipped with a Shenwei general-level artillery.
As a result, Xu Yifan, the last emperor of the civilized era, was pierced through his throat by a ten-fold sonic flying knife that galloped from a hundred feet away.
500 thunder carts and 30,000 live ammunition new troops were all furnished.
The assassin was only a martial saint in the Jindan realm.
An outer disciple who was expelled from the Xiuzhen sect.
The troubled times have since kicked off completely.
Glass is the only thing that has left a good memory among the three major inventions.
Ancient women were dressed on Qingbo and the bronze mirror (readers who have the same experience of studying the books of the Spring Palace as I must know as well as I do.) I've collected a lot of secret little bookcases behind my pillows, and I'm looking forward to sharing them with you), and now they can untie their clothes in front of the large glass mirror cabinet that can be used to make them look close.
After the invention of glass, the bronze mirror withdrew from the stage of history within ten years. Only the Daomen will use the bronze mirror as a magic weapon to catch ghosts. The rest of the bronze mirrors have become cultural relics hyped by ancient players.
Thyme goggles, periscopes, night vision goggles, windproof goggles, glasses...... These kinds of glass products have eliminated the ancient "god eye" profession. Wearing glasses became a novelty for schoolchildren and Confucian students, and almost became the main feature of some Confucian faces. Even the uneducated rough men and nouveau riche, under the infection of the times, inexplicably put on a pair of glasses without a prescription.
- This is the only thing I really don't like about my father, who is a pirate leader
- He is a Jindan Martial Saint who can see the eyebrows of mosquitoes within ten zhang with the naked eye, and can distinguish all the objects on the ground in a mile during the day.
Now he wears a pair of glasses with no prescription, and is concentrating on the yellowed parchment chart marked "Baiyun Township" (thankfully, my dad almost never reads, and this kind of spectacle is one of the few exceptions). οΌ
"Dad, the empty child is here. β
I stood upright, expressionless.
In fact, my eyes had already been stolen over my father's main cabin, and there were no clubs or tongs, and I secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
At this point, I wish he hadn't taken his eyes off. As soon as my father decided to make a move, he would remove an irrational object from his body that affected his judgment.
"Today you told Zhi'er that you wanted to ask her to be your wife?"
The fire in my dantian came up.
-- Murong Zhi, this little slut, is so unrighteous! I just said a few obscene words from you, and then took such an extreme route of revenge against me. If you didn't reply at that time, and pretended to be pitiful and cried a little, I would have apologized immediately! In fact, after you ran away, I swore to the emperor that I would never tease you again in the future, why do you have to make a fool of yourself!
"She scolded me for being a robber's baby, that is, scolding my father for being a robber. I'm going to make her a robber's wife. β
ββSince you did it, I did it. When you say you want to marry Champion Yuanlang, you mean that my robber son is not worthy of you! Then don't you scold your godfather for being a robber? Hmph, my father even asked Taishou's daughter to be his wife!
But my father was not angry.
With his personality back then, he had already killed a few slaves in anger.
Instead, he was silent for a moment and patted me on the shoulder.
"I used to be a beast, not a man, and I don't want my son to be a man now, but not anymore. That's all for you and your sister. Let her marry a good man. β
"Daddy?"
I looked at the man in front of me in confusion.
He was bald, with a cross scar lying on his forehead. The thumb of the right hand is missing, and the black sheath knife does not leave the waist.
This is indeed my dad.
But how did the words change sex? My mother's long-standing and unremitting Confucian brilliance illuminated him?
"It's not a troubled time, and it's very difficult for robbers to get a princess. The robber must first do a lot of bad things, and when the bad things are too big, the officials and soldiers will come to suppress him. Then he was going to kill a lot of officials and soldiers, and then the court came to recruit An. After recruiting An, he will be sent to fight the same robbers. If he hadn't died by then, the court might have given him a princess. may still be a fake princess born to a certain prince or a bullshit righteous daughter recognized by the emperor. Hahahaha. It's not easy for a robber to give birth to a princess's son. β
Father smiled inexplicably, I thought he was old.
"It's much easier to get a princess in troubled times. If someone like me directly kills your mother's whole family, won't he get into your mother's bed and get you out?"
- yes, how bad and tortuous the peaceful times were. Can't a robber's cock go to the princess's belly? It's not a flower with a lord, it's more stingy than a prostitute.
"But I'm tired of it. β
I was stunned.
"What can be easily reached will also fly away lightly. β
"My mother has never had a second heart for my father. β
"Because she still clings to the old era in this troubled world, a raped Miss Jiao will follow me with all her heart. I met a stupid woman who was still dreaming of peace in troubled times, and I was really a lucky robber. β
Ministers kill kings, sons kill their fathers, wives and husbands kill each other, and people cannibalize each other. Brothers kill each other, and people kill each other.
This is the way of troubled times.
Perhaps my father has lost the heart of the strong to survive in troubled times, and we have to find a paradise where the weak can survive.
He caresses the parchment chart,
"There are still seven days of sailing, and you will be able to reach Baiyun Township. The leaders just reported that the storm and waves across the ocean have passed. In front of the periscope, there is a view of the castle wall, which looks boundless. I told the family to go back to the lodging quarters, and our building boat was ready to dive. β
This is another unprecedented miracle in my father's unplanned life (if my father has a so-called plan, it is probably only one way to keep practicing martial arts and continue to become stronger).
-- It only took a little more than a year and a half, and we had sailed nearly 100,000 miles, approaching our destination.
"Great! Our family will no longer be robbers. β
I really like it.
Even in troubled times, prostitutes and robbers are something to be looked down upon.
Like the old thing of Nangong Big Boss, on the surface, he is a good man in Zebei County, a big boss in Guangling City who does serious business, a good citizen, damn.
If we can, our family also wants to be good citizens and be as beautiful as him.
- What can I do if I don't become a robber?
During my one-year sailing career, I often thought about this question in life, because a lot of free time needed to be filled:
Probably buy a piece of fertile land like a landlord and hope to get a good horse locally.
And thenβ
In autumn and winter, stay at home to see the spring-palace, and in spring and summer, ride horses to find wildflowers.
During the day, he used a knife to buy wine and howl, and at night he hugged his wife and made crows.
I want to be an evil young man, and then pay for someone to lift someone or something, just like the kind of evil young man who lives a nourishing life written in ancient notes.
"Alright, help me put on my armor, you also put on your armor, follow me on the deck!"
Why?
We're about to go to Baiyun Township, why do we still want to kill? Are we going to clear the end first? -- Isn't this still pirate style?
"Look at the charts. β
The nautical chart indicates:
There are no islands or settlements in our current location and Baiyun Township. In other words, it is impossible to see the walls of the pavilion on the way.
I glanced to the northwest away from our course, and the chart was marked with vermilion pen, "A thousand-year-old mirage, a great murderer." β
"The mirage moved its lair and stopped in our path?"
"The hunters of the human world will not wait in one place forever, let alone the thousand-year-old mirage that eats countless people! This chart is from a hundred years ago, and it is not surprising that it has moved a trap. β
I dusted off the dust of my father's cyan armor from the shelf, and fastened the parts for him-
This painting called "Fire-Eyed Fierce" is only the weight of light armor, is made of the whole skin of a Rakshasa lion essence, and the middle and lower grade treasure knives forged in pure gold can not cut a little white spot, and all soldiers are itching through their boots.
As a Jindan martial saint, his father has a demonic strength and an endless body, and he can also chase the galloping Maxima with three layers of heavy armor, and with this light armor, he can reach an exaggerated speed of sound at two or three times the speed of sound without burden, and can catch the bullets fired by the fire gun with his bare hands.
The last time he fought with this lion skin armor was when he was in the Bloody Kamikaze Nation ten years ago.
There are ninety-nine high-ranking ninjas lurking in the castle tower of the Lord of the Kingdom of God, which is his greatest capital as the Lord of the Kingdom.
From childhood, they were taken away from their families and subjected to cruel inhuman training, where feelings of pity, hesitation, and fear were completely erased, and they were absolutely loyal to the ruler of the country.
Because they have no emotion, they can exert combat power that exceeds the limits of their bodies by three times, and with the mysterious ninjutsu and the dense corridor structure of the castle tower, their movements can achieve effects that cannot be captured by the eye.
But in front of his father's real triple speed of sound, this kind of pretentious ninjutsu can only be called a charlatan's trick.
It is a service, and the ninety-nine forbearance is completely destroyed.
......
"Fire-Eyed Fox" was a reward that his father received at the Pirate Alliance's Dragon King Meeting.
That year, the big boss of Nangong got a Rakshasa lion spirit offered by an overseas warlock. The lion has a copper head and iron bones, is invulnerable, and its minions can easily cut off mortal soldiers. It is said that the overseas priest used three indiscriminate methods to trap the lion.
The Grand Boss of Nangong set up an entertainment program at the Dragon King Club (a pirate conference to celebrate his birthday), and he wanted to see how many of his warriors could fight with the Rakshasa Lion Spirit with their bare hands.
The young father jumped into the ring in front of the crowd and put his hands on the lion's throat.
Thirty breaths later, the lion was strangled alive by him.
The lion didn't have a chance to prove his sharp minions from beginning to end, and the other pirate leaders also lost the opportunity to sacrifice the big boss of Nangong to sycophant.
Nangong peeled off the lion's skin and rewarded his father as armor, and his father became the first cadre under Nangong.
Since then, the seeds of the other six little dragon kings and my father's enmity have also been planted.
......
I have a solid foundation in external skills, but I have only just started to practice internal skills, and a lot of potential has not had time to be tapped, and the power that can be exerted is not long-lasting. Fighting against the thousand-year-old mirage, my micro-end combat power is actually useless. As a first-time combatr, I just need to follow closely behind my father and broaden my horizons.
I chose a medium-grade light armor drape. In addition to the silver snake sword on his waist, he also wore two handcuffs filled with gunpowder.
My heart was pounding, and my bones were racing in anticipation of the battle at sea.
I'm half a warrior from my father, and I get excited by both combat and violence.
