Chapter 3: Renunciation

When it comes to deep scheming, characters like Wei Xiaobao and Madam Ma are utterly weak in the world of Gu Long! They would hardly thrive as they did in the original work; rather, they would more likely end up with their bodies in pieces.

However, rebellion can lead to losing one's head! Given the current strength of the martial arts masters, they are simply unable to resist the encirclement of the regular army, and Fang Ming has little confidence in the completely failed Tiandihui.

The remaining ones were handed over to the nearly unconscious old butler as a reward for his diligent nurturing.

Got it! I have traveled back to the moment when the plot just began

The order of the martial demonstration shone brilliantly, and the blinding light instantly filled Fang Ming's sea of consciousness

As time passed, by the era of the Southern Song Dynasty's "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" trilogy, it became evident that the entire martial arts world had taken a significant step back. The various high-flying exploits of the Dragon-Tiger era had vanished, and even the world's number one expert, Wang Chongyang, was so intimidated by Lin Chaoying writing on the stone wall with her finger that he willingly conceded defeat, offering up his lair, the Tomb of the Living Dead. What is even more critical is that Lin Chaoying did not possess such skills at all; she was cheating.

One after another, white orbs of light emit an inexplicable aura, quietly spanning across the starry sky, resembling a brilliant galaxy

Certainly, regardless of how martial arts may have declined, the martial arts masters of the era of "The Deer and the Cauldron" would find it no more troublesome to crush Fang Ming today than to crush an ant.

The last time I traveled through was too hasty; I only knew that three months had passed among the seven types of weapons, while outside not even half an hour had elapsed. Now is just the right time to test it!

Moreover, it is indeed true that the scriptures are located within the cave of the sheer cliff, but as time has passed, who knows where Zhang Wuji originally fell from? Furthermore, based on Fang Ming's current physique, he does not possess the ability to climb the sheer cliff and obtain the inheritance. Excluded!

Fortunately, I come from a respectable background, with a clean family history. If I sell off my land and gather a substantial amount for the apprenticeship gift, I refuse to believe that I cannot win them over

Once everything was prepared, Fang Ming lay down on the bed, closed his eyes, and immersed his mind into the martial command.

The highest martial arts skill in the Shenlong Sect is held by Hong Antong, who, under the influence of his wife’s whispers, tends to favor employing young men and women. If one were to sell themselves and seek refuge there, it is possible to achieve rapid advancement, with positions such as the White Dragon Envoy readily available

The figure appearing in the mirror is also a frail young man, around sixteen or seventeen years old, dressed in simple cloth garments, with a bald forehead and a braid at the back of his head

At this moment, he was wearing a gray monk's robe, seemingly bowing his head in humility, but inside he was rolling his eyes in exasperation

At the very center, there is a vast azure sun resembling a star, exuding an air of nobility and radiant holy light

Since the Song Dynasty, martial arts have further declined, with martial techniques gradually surpassing the accumulation of internal energy. Linghu Chong can traverse the world with a set of exquisite sword techniques, facing few rivals, while the Golden Snake Lord relies on the Golden Snake Sword and the Golden Snake Cone, establishing a formidable reputation.

Bang

By the time of "The Flying Fox", "The Book and the Sword", and "The Deer and the Cauldron", there is no need to mention it; it is filled with tears! As long as one cultivates internal energy, one can basically be considered a master.

This individual is from the State of Lu, the only son in a small landlord family, possessing over one hundred acres of fertile land, and is considered a minor local tycoon in Luzhuang Town

That place is indeed the site of Zhang Wuji's rise to prominence, not only is it buried with four volumes of the Lankavatara Sutra that record the Nine Yang True Scripture, but it also contains the medical scriptures of Hu Qingniu and the poison scriptures of Wang Nangu, both of which hold significant allure, making it a veritable treasure trove.

After reviewing his memories, Fang Ming has come to understand that the young Emperor Kangxi has just ascended to the throne, while Aobai, the Grand Guardian, is still comfortably in his position. The literary inquisition is in full swing, with the most sensational case being the Ming History case involving the Zhuang family

"Well, who can blame it, given that it is the Qing Dynasty now?" Fang Ming reluctantly accepted the reality and reflected once more on the era.

In the mind, a memory is being continuously integrated

Overall, it is much easier to navigate than the world of Gu Long

Last time, after being stabbed in the Seven Weapons, Fang Ming's chest ached for several days after returning to Da Qian

In the near future, the Heaven and Earth Society will be quite active. Chen Jinnan possesses commendable martial skills, and importantly, his character is also respectable. As long as Fang Ming swears an oath to restore the Ming Dynasty and overthrow the Qing, there is indeed a chance for him to infiltrate the Heaven and Earth Society.

Well, this time the entity that has possessed me is much better than the last one

Fang Ming rose and approached a copper mirror.

Within the grand and solemn hall of Baozheng, Fang Ming lowered his head, allowing a kind-hearted old monk to shave off his three thousand strands of worries.

Boom

As for Gu Long, his novels are numerous and chaotic; apart from a few well-known ones, Fang Ming truly does not have much of an impression.

Upon reaching the periphery, there appeared a massive red fireball, its volume reduced by ten times compared to the yellow sun, spanning all directions

However, he did not rush to cross over; instead, he first picked up an incense stick and lit the tip of the incense with a fire starter.

Fang Ming stroked his chin and began to think rapidly

This feeling is extremely painful, Fang Ming fainted last time and missed the scene of the crossing.

Every time Fang Ming sees this place, his heart is filled with resentment

The number of these red fireballs is more than ten times that of the yellow suns

To be honest, when Fang Ming read to this point, he secretly rolled his eyes. Given this guy's foolish nature, if it weren't for the old butler keeping things in check, he would have likely been devoured by the wolves surrounding him, leaving not even a bone behind.

To speak of Fang Ming's past life, during his time at university, he was quite idle and read all of Mr. Jin's novels several times. While he cannot claim to know them by heart, the plotlines are firmly etched in his memory

However, it is unfortunate that the internal strife within the Dragon God Sect is quite severe, and one might even have to consume the Leopard Fetus Muscle Transformation Pill. Furthermore, Fang Ming has no interest in the Dragon Island, which is filled with venomous snakes.

Fang Ming has made up his mind

However, the Western Regions and the Kunlun Mountains are too far away, and transportation in ancient times was inconvenient. Fang Ming is very doubtful that he would need to spend several months getting there

I am afraid the only choice is the martial arts sects in the world of Jianghu

The martial arts masters have also completely transformed, reaching a point where victory is determined primarily by martial skills and techniques

Fang Ming smiled wryly; Master Jin's martial arts novels often start off with great intensity. During the Spring and Autumn period, the Sword of the Yue Maiden, A Qing could wield a bamboo branch and fight her way in and out among three thousand Yue soldiers, which was truly terrifying

Fang Ming's eyes revealed a hint of determination, as he traversed the martial arts world, his heart yearning for fine clothes and gallant steeds, to laugh proudly in the rivers and lakes.

Fang Ming calmed down and began to think rapidly

Due to the phenomenon of soul transference, treasures such as gold, silver, and precious medicines can be completely disregarded. It seems that the only thing he can carry is his memories—vast amounts of memories related to martial arts

Overall, the martial arts world created by Master Jin is a tragic history that continuously regresses with the passage of time

After completing these tasks, Fang Ming set off on his journey feeling unburdened, while the reason he provided to his clan was that he was "frail and sickly, having seen through the worldly affairs," and was preparing to become a monk

What can he gain from "The Deer and the Cauldron"?

Confirm!

It felt as if he had suddenly fallen from a great height into the ground while in a dream, and Fang Ming jolted awake.

In the boundless void, a dazzling and brilliant azure light shines steadily in all directions

In "The Deer and the Cauldron," what martial arts skills are worth acquiring?

Fang Ming recalled the memories of the entity that had possessed him

In the token center, there are faintly flickering white light spots, emitting a gentle glow, but under the azure sunlight, they are almost indistinguishable

During the Northern Song Dynasty's Tianlong period, masters emerged one after another, effortlessly releasing their true energy as if it were a game, and breaking gold and jade was even more commonplace

Fang Ming let out a long sigh; these martial arts sects had hardly made any notable achievements during the time of "The Deer and the Cauldron". Either they had become timid turtles or their texts had been lost to a great extent. Unless absolutely necessary, he truly did not wish to make this choice

This time he was well-prepared, his teeth clenched tightly, holding on resolutely

"The Deer and the Cauldron, six months, is enough!"

The military order seemed to have a predetermined target, swiftly advancing in a specific direction

Are there any masters in "The Deer and the Cauldron"?

At this moment, a jade token swiftly shot out from the center of the azure sun, crossing the domain membrane at an astonishing speed

A few days later, Dengfeng Songshan

Since childhood, I have been frail and sickly, with both parents deceased and no close relatives. I was raised under the care of a devoted old steward.

The existence of the martial arts decree has made it possible for his deep-seated dream of becoming a martial artist to be fully realized and documented

Numerous yellow suns orbit around the massive cyan star in the center, resembling satellites; however, the military formation pays no attention to these yellow suns and passes through directly

Bang! At the moment of confirmation, Fang Ming's entire body jolted as if a black hole had suddenly appeared in his mind, drawing all the vital energy and blood from his body into his brain.

Beside him, there were many young novices of similar age, with their shaved heads and expressions of bewilderment.

The speed of the martial order slowed down upon reaching this point, beginning to decelerate, yet it still traversed through this area and arrived at a long river of white light

Fang Ming's eyes turned, and he thought of another place

The command for the demonstration recognized one of the pure white orbs and suddenly crashed into it

The colors and sizes of these white orbs vary; some are purely white and the smallest in volume, while others are red and white in combination, being five to six times larger than their counterparts

Moreover, Jin Yong's novels have another advantage; he thoroughly embodies the concept of "the great hero acts for the country and the people." Not only are the plots and storylines written in exquisite detail, but the heroes also emerge in abundance, with most characters characterized by their kindness and simplicity.

After making the decision that day, he immediately sold over one hundred mu of land from his family in one go to the clan, in the presence of the village elders and the neighborhood chief, for more than eighty mu.

The original owner of this body was at least a member of the gentry, and compared to those farmers and tenants who toil in the fields, he was somewhat more aware of current affairs

There is another option, which is the place where Zhang Wuji buried the scriptures in the Kunlun Valley

Moreover, what is more critical is that he does not know whether the symptoms of death or poisoning in the world of "The Deer and the Cauldron" would carry over to his original body. If one dies here, it would mean true death; wouldn't that be too much of a loss
