Chapter 31: Gunfire

  "Yes, it's said that this South Sea immortal has been secretly funding the Alliance for a long time! It was only after the Republic of China era that everyone found out, and they say he gave the Alliance a huge sum of money!" Master said.

  "Is it Mr. Sun's Alliance Society, now known as the Nationalist Party?" said Jian Yu Mei.

  "Yes, if it's really like that, then the current Republic is also something he helped to create. You say he's not impressive!" Master said.

  "I also want to become an outstanding person like him!" Jian Yu Mei muttered.

  "Yes, he not only sponsored the Alliance, but also provided relief to people all over the world. It is said that many hospitals in various places have received his funding and can provide free medicine to some poor patients, which are all sponsored by Nanhai Xianren!" The master said.

  "Can it be saved like this?" Jian Yu Mei seemed to have understood a lot.

  "Yes, he also extensively collaborates with charitable organizations all over the place, providing food and shelter to many vagrants! These things have been circulating in Jianghu for a long time!" Master said.

  "A person who has acquired such great wealth, turned his lifetime of wealth into saving the world! In the end, he died in the mountains, clean and simple, coming and going! It's really extraordinary!" said Jian Yu Mei.

  "This is the boundary!" Master said, "Mei'er you are lucky to see him and get his true transmission, I expect you can do it too!"

  Jian Yu Mei heard his master's words, and his whole body shook. He looked at his master, Jian Yu Mei knew that his master was not good at stealing tombs, but he should have done it before. However, his master's family didn't have much wealth. Was his master doing the same thing?!

  Jian Yu Mei saw her master's expectations of herself and nodded.

  "Saving the country and its people is what a true hero does, petty squabbles are just trivial tricks! I will definitely fulfill Master's teachings and become an extraordinary person!" Jian Yu Mei said.

  Master looked at Jian Yu Mei, at this moment in Master's eyes, Jian Yu Mei was so determined!

  He nodded and smiled with relief.

  At this time, Lin Li hurriedly ran over, "Dad, Shidi, you quickly come back, someone has sent us many guns, there are long and short guns!"

  "Gun?" Jian Yu Mei was shocked, who would send guns to her and her master?

  When the master heard the news of the gun coming, his eyes lit up.

  "Go, put away your sword!" Master said.

  "What? Master, this sword was brought by someone for you!" Jian Yu Mei said.

  "Yes, I bought it! In this era, what can you do without a gun? You don't know how to use a gun, and no matter how good your kung fu is, it's useless!" the master said.

  "Master is quite open-minded!" said Jian Yu Mei.

  "Yes, Dad, I've always thought you had some pretty progressive ideas, but I didn't think you'd be this progressive!" Lin Li said.

  "Haha, Lin Li, you also like guns?" Master said.

  "That's natural, we're martial artists, of course we like things with more power!" Lin Li said.

  "Haha, then you must also practice your martial arts well. If you don't practice well, don't learn this. Without martial arts, many things are just like flowers in the water or the moon in a mirror!" The master said.

  "That's for sure! With kung fu skills, you can travel the world without a gun. But with a gun and no kung fu skills, even the gun won't be able to protect you," Lin Li said.

  "You just know, let's go and take a look!" The master said.

  When they returned to the house, they saw someone was already waiting inside.

  "Mr. Lin!" The newcomer laughed as he greeted his teacher.

  "Are you sent by Boss Li?" Master asked him with a smile.

  "Yes, I'm Wang Lai Shun. Boss Li asked me to bring these things to you. Mr. Lin, take a look!" the newcomer said with a smile.

  At this time, Jian Yu Mei also saw that on the ground was a long, flat rectangular box.

  The newcomer opened the box and found two submachine guns and several pistols inside. Next to them were some bullets.

  "This gun is a German-designed Bergmann submachine gun, with a range of 150 meters. One magazine can hold 32 rounds. You see, I'll demonstrate it for you later!" Wang Lai Shun said.

  "Wow, great! Looks very powerful!" said Lin Li.

  "Yes, this submachine gun is very powerful. I brought you the authentic imported goods. Currently, domestic ordnance factories are also mass-producing imitations, but the performance of those domestic imitations is slightly inferior!" Wang Laisu said.

  "This shotgun on this side, is it what everyone calls a double-barreled gun?" Xiang Yu Mei asked.

  "That's right, this gun is a Mauser pistol, also known as a semi-automatic pistol. It was produced by the German Mauser company and has a range of 50 meters with a fixed magazine that can hold ten rounds!" Wang Laisu said.

  Jian Yu Mei walked over and picked one up, the gun was exquisite and felt very comfortable in her hand, Jian Yu Mei smiled.

  "That's great! After you rest for a while, Brother Wang, take them to practice!" Master said with a smile.

  "Alright, I can take everyone there now!" Wang Laisu said.

  "Don't rush, have a sip of tea first, have you had breakfast? If not, let's eat something together!" the master said.

  "I went out early this morning and have already eaten at the foot of the mountain! You guys eat first!" Wang Lai Shun burst out laughing.

  "That's for you to make tea, use it slowly, rest well, and wait a while before teaching us how to shoot!" Lin Li said with a smile.

  When everyone was ready, they all carried their guns and walked together towards the back of the mountain.

  Jian Yu Mei held a shotgun in his left hand and a submachine gun in his right hand, feeling extremely good.

  Jian Yu Mei knew that no matter how good one's martial arts skills were, if they encountered a gun, they would be helpless, unless they could take out the opponent before they had a chance to use it. However, if the opponent had many people, there was no way to win, and the only options were being killed or surrendering.

  So sometimes you have to use firearms to solve problems.

  "Mei'er, do you know that our China is vast and rich in resources, with numerous talented people emerging one after another, especially those with extraordinary abilities are not few. But why have we suffered from the bullying of powerful nations for a hundred years, with our country being humiliated and our people suffering hardships?" Master asked.

  "That's because our family is not prosperous, we're lagging behind!" Jian Yu Mei said.

  Lin Li's eyes widened as she watched their conversation.

  "Master, looking at Sword Envoy Mei," "Yes, we are lagging behind. We are falling behind in all aspects of politics, economy, culture, and military from the Westerners! That's why we're being beaten. Now foreigners have advanced technology, developed industries, and sophisticated weapons, but we are far behind. Even if we have many martial arts masters, we can't match the enemy's thousands of soldiers with guns and cannons! Our countless predecessors have traveled across the oceans to find the best way to govern our country, they worked hard, but now our country still hasn't solved its political problems, it's just a mess! We cultivators, if we want to travel the world in this chaotic era, we must master more skills. Guns are essential, remember that! No matter how good your martial arts are, they can't compare to guns, you'll understand!"

  "I know, Master. When I was traveling with my father, we saw those armed men roaming around everywhere. It's because they have guns, so no matter what we do, in this chaotic world, we must master the gun!" Jian Yu Mei said.

  "Alright, you come and try!" said the master.
