How can one cultivate immortality without learning modern knowledge?

"Forging weapons privately, rebelling and causing chaos, disregarding the law, and taking lives lightly." Old Qi said, "Young master is a scholar, more knowledgeable than I am, and should be able to find more reasons for breaking the law."

"My father is really something else. He casually fabricated charges against his own son, and every single one of them would drag my entire Zhou family down with him! I just don't understand, isn't he afraid of being executed along with his entire clan? Isn't he one of them himself?" Zhou Wenju sighed deeply.

"Sir, you have always been law-abiding and law-abiding..."

"Alright, alright, he's law-abiding, but the He and Li families under his rule are lawless. If you're so capable, why don't you take care of those scoundrels who are harming the country and the people? If you can't take care of them, then use me as a scapegoat. I'm speechless to have a father like this..."

"Young master, these words are fine to hear, but when you get back to the county office, please don't argue with the magistrate..."

"What if we don't argue with him? Should I crane my neck and let him turn against his own family for the greater good?" Zhou Wenju said, "Alright, alright, anyway, there's no way we can avoid a direct confrontation when we get back, so there's only one way..."

"What?"

"I'm not going back!"

Old Qi's forehead veins bulged: "Young Master, you're putting me in a difficult position. The orders I received were..."

"I won't make things difficult for you. I'll go back with you after I finish what I'm doing, but on the condition that you listen to me for the next day and night!"

Old Qi grew anxious: "Young Master, this time I really can't listen to you, I..."

"Hui Gu!" Zhou Wenju called out.

"Young master, what is it?" Hui Gu ran over.

"This old bastard's trying to kidnap me. You grab a gun and act as my bodyguard. If he makes a move, shoot!"

Without hesitation, Hui Gu turned around, grabbed her gun, and pointed it at Lao Qi.

Old Qi pressed his hand to his forehead, utterly speechless.

Finally, he lowered his hand: "Young master, you are far too confident in your divine artifact."

"You mean, Hui-gu can't hit you with her gun? Why don't you give it a try? I'm actually curious to see how fast you are."

"What kind of skill is it to shoot an old man like me?" Old Qi finally couldn't hold back any longer: "He Wen has already made it clear at the county government that if the county government can't handle this matter, he'll handle it himself! Do you think the next thing to come is the He family guards lining up to deliver their heads? No, it will be the Cangshan Sect! Your divine weapon can't deal with the Cangshan Sect!"

"So what?" Zhou Wenju said, "You took me away, using the county government as a shell to protect me? And you're handing over the lives of 30,000 innocent villagers in Hexi Valley to the Cangshan Sect?"

"Don't worry, young master!" Old Qi said, "After I escort you back to the county government, I will personally go to the Cangshan Sect to have a talk with Li Yuancang..."

"Don't worry! You put my mind at ease!" Zhou Wenju smiled faintly. "When my father first came to Qishan County, didn't he often reassure the people? And in the end? Did the people truly feel at ease?"

Old Qi was speechless.

Which official doesn't do this to reassure the people?

What was the final result?

How could the people of Qishan, this godforsaken place, possibly feel at ease?

The second young master either doesn't speak at all, or when he does, he always goes straight to this crux of the matter...

"Besides," Zhou Wenju said, "you said my gun can't handle the Cangshan Sect, so how about we make a bet? There will definitely be experts from the Cangshan Sect coming tonight. If we successfully defeat them, you listen to me! If we can't, I'll listen to you!"

Old Qi looked up at the sky.

The sky was overcast and drizzling.

Look down at the ground; a group of villagers are watching him expectantly from the bottom of the hillside.

The old man slapped his forehead: "Then... it's a deal!"

Turn around and go into the cave...

Forcibly taking the young master away is really inappropriate.

This village girl, who's been completely fooled by the young master, actually knows how to shoot.

Whether he can hit him or not is another matter. The key question is whether the villagers below will see him as a robber.

Standing alone against tens of thousands of people in the valley, do you have no shame?

Young master, the root of your confusion lies in this gun. This gun has given you too much confidence. Only after experiencing a real defeat will you realize that you are still too young!

You will then understand: things in this world cannot be done according to your own whims.

Tonight, I'll shatter your illusions.

Tomorrow, I'll take you on another journey!

This is Lao Qi's compromise at this moment.

In the drizzle, night fell exceptionally early.

In the blink of an eye, it was already getting dark.

Suddenly, Zhou Wenju, who was standing by the cave, looked up abruptly.

In one step, we reached the edge of the hillside.

The moment my feet touched the ground...

On both sides of the mountain peak, dozens of dark figures leaped up at the same time and landed on the rocks at the top of the mountain.

This rise and fall seemed to stir up a storm, and the storm seemed to suddenly intensify tenfold.

Amidst the raging wind and torrential rain, a palpable sense of impending doom pierced through the newly enveloping night, suffocating everyone in the valley.

"Young master, thirty-three Dao Mountains, two Dao Hearts, how will your gun cope?" Old Qi's voice rang in Zhou Wenju's ears.

"And Dao Heart?" Zhou Wenju asked.

"Look!" Old Qi pointed to the sky.

With a whoosh, the dark clouds in the sky were swept away, and two figures stood in mid-air above them. The dark clouds that had just been above them had vanished without a trace.

The setting sun, not yet fully dissipated, appeared behind them, and they stood on the void, like celestial beings from the heavens.

Their appearance seemed to freeze the waters of the West River completely.

This is the profound memory that the unparalleled master of the Cangshan Sect deliberately left for the people of Hexi Valley.

Use this image to tell them that the absolute master on the path of cultivation is the Celestial Venerable.

Humans are mere ants, not to be touched!

"Villagers of Hexi Valley, you have done things you should not have done!" The Dao Xin Elder on the left had his long hair fluttering in the air, and his voice was cold and ruthless.

The elder on the right continued, "Therefore, you will have to pay a bloody price!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly swung his hand.

Thirty-three figures simultaneously stood on the mountain peak.

Boom!

On the mountain peak, boulders shattered.

Their figures descended from the sky, with boulders tumbling down behind them. Their momentum was so great that it was like a giant dragon emerging from the valley, and the entire Hexi Valley resounded with a roar.

The hillside ahead!

A hundred figures stood up simultaneously from the bushes!

Their guns were pointed directly at the thirty-three men rushing towards them...

The leader was none other than Zhang Laosan.

"Fire!"

At the command, gunfire erupted like thunder.

Bullets flew towards the thirty-three people who were flying towards them...

These thirty-three people did not stop moving at all, but their true energy was activated, and the rain formed a transparent protective shield three feet away from their bodies.

This is the protection of the Dao Mountain realm.

In the Dao Mountain Realm, true energy can leave the body to form a protective shield, which cannot be harmed in the slightest by even the most powerful weapons in the mortal world.

This was personally tested by Li Yangtian, the dead chieftain of Qingyun Village.

The villagers' guns couldn't penetrate Li Yangtian's defenses, so naturally they couldn't penetrate the defenses of these elite disciples of the Cangshan Sect either.

Therefore, the two Dao Heart Elders in the air were quite at ease.

However, a strange thing suddenly happened!

Sizzle sizzle sizzle...

The bullet passed through this protective barrier.

Once you pass through it, the protective barrier vanishes instantly.

Thirty-three people were shot almost simultaneously.

Leaving aside those shot in the forehead, they were killed on the spot.

Even if they weren't shot in vital areas, but only suffered cuts to their hands, feet, or even flesh wounds, the injured person would suddenly fall to the ground, groaning in pain...

Old Qi's eyes suddenly widened.

He could naturally see the strangeness of the situation.

Theoretically, it would have been impossible for a hundred people firing their guns to kill any of the Daoist masters, but somehow they managed to break through...

Why?

The expressions of the two Dao Heart Elders in the air changed simultaneously...

Why is this happening?

Where is the mistake?

Before they could figure it out...

At least ten guns below raised simultaneously...

Thump! Thump! Thump...

A dozen bullets were fired at them...

Elder Dao Xin in the air suddenly flicked his sleeve, as if shooing away a fly. Yes, according to normal logic, even if these dozen or so bullets were the most powerful hidden weapons thrown by a master cultivator, they would only be flies when they were flicked by his sleeve.

However, wherever the bullets went, an extremely eerie aura permeated the air.

The powerful force of Heaven, which had been operating smoothly, suddenly stopped functioning properly.

They possessed the power to flatten even the strongest walls and castles with a single sweep, shattering them into pieces.

"The power of the Daoless!" the elder on the left exclaimed in surprise.
