Jiang Yue nodded and used a gun! She wasn't a chivalrous knight-errant, and besides, a gun was just a faster concealed weapon, right? After all, some who chased the original owner of this body used concealed weapons. And to put it another way, she was just a woman, not exactly a gentleman, was she? (doge)
After thinking for a moment, Jiang Yue took out an upgraded Barrett from her spatial storage, wiped it with a cloth, and muttered to herself, "Old buddy, it's been more than a dozen worlds since we parted ways in the cultivation world. I'll have to trouble you again this time."
The upgraded Barrett bullets are no longer needed, making them much more convenient to use. When Jiang Yue reforged them, she also considered the recoil issue. Although Jiang Yue is not much stronger than an ordinary person now, she can still use them normally. Revenge should not be delayed overnight, so Jiang Yue changed into a changeable set of magic robes and then changed into a set of night clothes before setting off.
After traveling for a while, when she arrived outside Fuzhou City, Jiang Yue found that the city gates were already closed late at night. She couldn't enter the city by conventional means, as there were guards on the city gates and walls. With her current rudimentary skills, she couldn't force her way through. However, this didn't stop Jiang Yue. She took a small spaceship from her spatial dimension, made it invisible, and flew into the city.
After entering the city, the next step was to find those enemies. Fortunately, the original owner's memories told her where they lived. Just to be on the safe side, Jiang Yue sent out some reconnaissance planes to check, so as not to arrive only to find nothing. After a lot of trouble, she confirmed that everyone was there and was about to rush over when she suddenly slapped her head after taking a few steps. "Damn it, my brain is fried!" she thought. "I usually use puppets to cook, and I've forgotten that puppets are actually killing machines."
Jiang Yue felt like her head had turned into a donkey's head. Luckily, there was no one around, just Jiang Yue and Bai Ze in her mind: "Bai Ze, remember to delete this record."
"Yes, Master."
"Let's go...wait a minute, Bai Ze, you control the puppet to take the person away, let's go to the original owner's house, find some of the original owner's clothes, and then repair the grave. Let's build a cenotaph for the original owner first, and bury me in it after I die, and then let their family be reunited."
When Jiang Yue arrived at the original owner's house, Bai Ze had already dealt with the enemy. Jiang Yue looked at the house, which was burned beyond recognition. No wonder Han Feizi said, "Scholars use literature to disrupt the law, and knights use martial arts to violate prohibitions." There are people in the martial arts world who uphold justice and eliminate evil, but how many are there? According to the original owner's memories, there are not many.
Many people treat life like dirt simply to compete for superior martial arts skills. Then there are those like the Yuan family, whose entire clan is wiped out in the blink of an eye. A verbal dispute escalates into a full-blown fight. These are the kinds of people that the lower classes face.
After searching around the house, Jiang Yue found a complete set of clothes that hadn't been stolen or burned. After leaving the city, Jiang Yue went to the place where the original owner had ambushed her parents and family. Jiang Yue offered incense and kowtowed on behalf of the original owner. She then planned to move them to a different place, which was also the original owner's wish. She hoped to avenge her parents before sending them to the ancestral grave. Burying them here was just a temporary measure.
After placing the coffin in the wizard's tower, Jiang Yue traveled overnight to the ancestral gravesite. She arrived an hour later, settled her family there, erected the prepared tombstone, inscribed the names and life stories, placed several wreaths and offered some fruits, lit incense, and then left. When she returned, it was the day Jiang Yue died.
After finishing his business, Jiang Yue returned to Fuzhou, the place where the original owner of this body had lived the longest. He also wanted to see how the plot would develop. If the mood struck him, he might help Lin Pingzhi. After reading the novel, he felt that Lin Pingzhi was a good person. Based on Jiang Yue's experience of reading novels, he seemed more like the protagonist if Lin Pingzhi hadn't killed Yue Lingshan in the end.
He's willing to help others in roadside taverns, risking his life to carry back the bodies of the Fuwei Escort Agency's slain guards, and even when insulted by a peasant woman, he refuses to bully the weak. All these acts make him no different from a protagonist if given a protagonist's halo. As for his criticized learning of the Evil-Slaying Sword Technique, just give him the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms and see if he'd still learn the Evil-Slaying Sword Technique.
Unfortunately, he wasn't the main character after all, and in the end, he ended up blind and trapped at the bottom of West Lake. Let's wait until the plot starts and give him an AK, then see if he dares to use it. Martial arts masters can hit an AK with ease, although the style is a bit off.
As dawn broke, the gates of Fuzhou opened, and Jiang Yue, having changed her clothes, entered the city openly. She planned to repair her original home; she couldn't live outside forever. Bai Ze had also recovered the money and supplies that had been stolen. The only slight problem was that someone might come for revenge, but Jiang Yue wasn't afraid now. Even if the Barrett wasn't powerful enough, the Gatling gun would still malfunction.
When Jiang Yue arrived near her home, her neighbors noticed her. It has to be said that not everyone in the world of martial arts is a bad person. Her old neighbor, Liu, quickly pulled her into the yard, glanced around to make sure no one was watching, then shrank back, closed the door, and turned around anxiously, saying:
"Little Jiang, why are you back? Someone came looking for you yesterday. You should leave before they come. You've already gotten your revenge anyway."
"Sigh, Old Jiang was a perfectly fine person... how did he end up like this?"
"I'm sorry to have troubled you, Uncle Liu, but I've already taken care of things. I've killed all the people who needed to be killed."
After saying this, Uncle Liu looked up at Jiang Yue, slightly turned his body, rubbed his hands together, and whispered, "Um... um, Xiao Jiang, you won't blame Uncle Liu..."
Jiang Yue waved her hand and then said solemnly, "Uncle Liu, I have never blamed you, and this has nothing to do with you."
Jiang Yue was speaking from the heart, and the original owner thought the same way. Uncle Liu wanted to ask if it was no wonder he hadn't gone out to help. Although Uncle Liu was an old neighbor, his family's conditions were not as good as Jiang Yue's. Moreover, although they didn't come over when the incident happened, these neighbors went to the yamen to report the case. If the report hadn't been made in time, the original owner might not have had time to escape.
You can't expect a neighbor to risk their life for you, can you? There's no such thing anywhere. So neither the original owner nor Jiang Yue ever thought it was the other person's fault. In fact, Jiang Yue owes them a debt of gratitude for taking the risk to report the crime.
"That's good, that's good."
"There's one more thing, Xiao Jiang. Your Uncle Zhao and I are planning to go back to our hometown. We're getting old and want to return to our roots."
"That's good. So when are you and Uncle Zhao leaving?"
"I've already arranged for a security escort agency to ship my family's belongings these past few days. I'm planning to sell the house now, and I'll leave once it's sold."
“How about this, I still have some money on hand. I’ll buy your and Uncle Zhao’s house at market price, otherwise… hehe… the house won’t sell for the time being.”
