Chapter 0001: To cultivate divine skills, one must first undergo castration

When a group of military officers joyfully returned with silver to mobilize troops, Wang Xiao issued orders to the dozens of soldiers before him

As soon as the title of the missing escort was mentioned, Wang Xiao knew that the young handsome man was none other than the renowned Lin Pingzhi

Wang Xiao indeed traveled through time, and after being sent here by the wish system, which seemed to have drowned in a cesspool without any further news, he has not received any updates.

As for the junior sister, her face is painted with an unappealing makeup that obscures her features, which is somewhat regrettable

Fortunately, as an undercover agent, Raudeno managed his emotions quite well. He repeatedly nodded and bowed in apology, even offering a few pieces of silver as compensation.

Yu Canghai opened the letter, his expression changed dramatically, and his breathing became rapid

Wang Xiao cast his gaze over, and the junior sister turned around to give him her back

Very well. "Wang Xiao clapped his hands. "I have just arrived and wish to see how the soldiers of this government fare in battle. You all return and gather the elite troops from various places for a drill. The victors will be generously rewarded by me."

He truly endured a great deal of suffering along the way; not being able to eat or sleep well were minor issues, and getting lost was even more common. What Wang Xiao found most unbearable was the lack of toilet paper when he needed to use the restroom, which was simply tormenting him to the point of feeling utterly desperate.

Not to mention whether his official attire can hold its own, even if it can withstand it, it would still be of no use

Are the people from the Fuwei Escort Agency not going to kill?

When the shouting shopkeeper came to his senses, he saw a short Daoist priest in a blue robe sitting in front of him, approximately in his fifties, with a very thin face

I hope that my esteemed colleagues will continue to offer their support in the future, for which I will be immensely grateful

"See the General." A large group of guerrilla fighters, officials, guards, and captains from Quanzhou Prefecture all crowded into the main hall to pay their respects to Wang Xiao, who occupied the highest seat.

Wang Xiao looked at the fire stick in his hand and, after a moment, put it away. Having obtained this crucial item, the subsequent matters could proceed according to plan

The system assigned Wang Xiao the identity of Wu Tiande, the guerrilla general of Cangzhou Prefecture

Unfolding the old cassock, the first line that catches the eye is the well-known saying, 'To practice the divine skill, one must first undergo castration.'

Just as Wang Xiao was feeling regretful, a series of urgent hoofbeats sounded from outside

Do not be deceived by the formidable martial arts skills of these individuals; they all have their affiliations. Whether it is this sect or that manor, offending the authorities not only leads to being wanted throughout the world, but also guarantees the destruction of their ancestral strongholds that have been passed down for generations

Wang Xiao acted so generously that he immediately gained firm control over the hearts of the troops. One by one, they all patted their chests, expressing their willingness to serve Wang Xiao with utmost loyalty

Laudno is an undercover agent. Being an undercover agent is not an issue, but after so many years of being undercover, your brothers and fellow apprentices, who you have known for decades, can be killed at a whim. The bond formed over decades of living together does not earn you even a moment of mercy. This person is a true scoundrel.

When I mounted, I saw two horses galloping towards me on the official road to the north, with a man on each horse, his head wrapped in white cloth and dressed in a blue robe

In the spring of the 19th year of the Wanli era, to the north of Fuzhou Prefecture.

The head of military affairs in a province is the Chief Military Officer, with the Deputy Chief Military Officer as the second-in-command. Below them are the Deputy Generals, and beneath the Deputy Generals are the Associate Generals

Before the shop assistant could express his gratitude with joy, a flash of sword light had already swept across his throat

The people of Qingcheng Mountain are determined to seize the Secret Sword Manual, and even if there are no conflicts in the tavern, there will be other excuses, or they might simply act without any pretext at all

The shopkeeper was very frightened, and he really should not have been tempted by the two taels of silver as a reward and the subsequent five taels for taking on this job. "Two days ago, a general gave me two taels of silver and told me to take this letter to shout outside the Fuwei Escort Agency today, saying that Master Yu would give me five taels of silver as a reward upon receiving the letter."

You will set off along your respective routes, promoting that the true manuscript of the Evil-Repelling Sword Manual is located in Quanzhou Prefecture. Upon reaching each city, you will post notices stating that an auction for the Evil-Repelling Sword Manual will be held on the fifteenth of next month

After inquiring carefully, Yu Canghai took out five taels of broken silver and threw it to the innkeeper.

Amidst the sounds of hearty laughter, four strong men surrounded a handsome young man whose complexion was as fair as jade and whose charm was unmatched as he walked in

Wang Xiao weighed the broken silver in his hand and revealed a smile "You little rascal are quite clever"

In the fields of the countryside, a faint scent of earth permeates the air

The information left by the wish system indicates that in numerous parallel worlds, countless individuals make wishes to the heavens seeking assistance. It exists to fulfill the wishes of these individuals

During the Wanli period, military positions had not yet become as rampant as they were in the late Ming dynasty, and high-ranking military posts were quite valuable; a deputy general was indeed a high official of the third rank

The guards held plates in their hands, which were filled with shimmering silver ingots

Wang Xiao entered the city of Fuzhou, spending several dozen wen to ask for directions before finding the Lin family's old residence in Xiangyang Alley

They are nothing more than a group of withered bones in a grave, waiting to obtain the genuine secret manual before returning to kill his entire family

Moreover, Wang Xiao also copied a passage from the cassock and included it in the letter as evidence Whether it is true or false, Yu Canghai, as a master, can naturally discern it

During the Wanli period, if someone spoke of a system, there could only be one possibility: this person must have traveled through time

On the official road in the northern part of the city, Wang Xiao, dressed in the uniform of a school lieutenant, was slowly riding a chestnut horse along the official path

Regardless of whether it is the identity of the shopkeeper or that of an undercover agent, Laudno does not wish to, nor can he afford to, entangle himself with Wang Xiao. He has more important matters to attend to

Lin Pingzhi's character is relatively good, and his later dark transformation is entirely due to the deep-seated family feud, compounded by being deceived by the Grandmaster Yue.

Finally arrived. Taking out the water bottle for a sip, Wang Xiao wiped his face and said, "What a foolish system, assigning me such an identity, my legs are about to break from running."

On the way into Fuzhou City, I saw this famous tavern. A few simple exchanges confirmed their identities. Wang Xiao casually teased Laodenuo while also taking a look at his junior sister.

After much contemplation along the way, he has already devised a detailed plan for harvesting the gains.

After the system that fell into the latrine sent Wang Xiao over, there has been no further news. There was no mention of any rewards for completing the task.

Waving the riding whip, Wang Xiao rode his horse towards the direction of Fuzhou Prefecture

Meanwhile, Wang Xiao, who visited the Governor-General of Fujian and presented gifts, officially commenced his duties

"Colleagues, there is no need for formality," Wang Xiao said with a smile, then waved his hand to signal his guards to bring out the gifts.

Wang Xiao's task this time is to destroy the kasaya that contains the original text of the Evil Sword Manual.

The one arranging all of this is Wang Xiao. The gist of the letter is that the true Evil Sword Manual is in my hands, and the Lin family practices a fake version. If they truly knew the real one, would you still dare to come and kill? If you want the genuine Evil Sword Manual, then come to Quanzhou Prefecture

Old man, the taste of your bamboo leaf green is not pure; did you mix it with alcohol in the water

Laudano chuckled repeatedly, while the young girl in the green dress by the wine stove let out a cold snort.

Wang Xiao is wearing official attire, and it is of a very high rank

Yu Canghai did not hesitate in the slightest, "Go to Quanzhou."

Although people in the jianghu act recklessly, the universally acknowledged rule is to avoid provoking the authorities

A group of disciples all looked at Yu Canghai and asked, "Master, what should we do now?"

Unlike the deputy general who primarily oversees the regular troops, specifically the field soldiers, the assistant general is a senior officer stationed in various locations. They are based in the local government and represent the highest military authority in the area

Inside the tavern by the official road, Wang Xiao slammed the table with a look of dissatisfaction, "You dare to serve this general fake wine; I see you are dissatisfied with the court"

Yes, it is that Wu Tiande who was robbed and impersonated by the senior brother.

Wang Xiao has already devised his own plan, which not only allows him to easily complete the tasks and reap benefits, but also to rescue the entire Lin family.

The Lin family's old residence is located at the end of a narrow alley. With its black door and white walls, an old vine winds around the top of the wall, giving it a very dilapidated appearance. Even in broad daylight, there are no pedestrians in this alley.

This is the Evil Sword Manual, the one with the greatest lethality against men among all martial arts manuals. Wang Xiao has never had any interest in learning it

The Evil Sword Manual is located in the old residence of the Lin family, while the place where Wang Xiao appears is in the distant Cangzhou Prefecture

The system indicates that Wang Xiao has won the grand prize, and it has chosen Wang Xiao as the specific executor to fulfill these wishes

After much effort, Wang Xiao finally found the cassock inscribed with the Secret Sword Manual on the beam.

Having examined it thoroughly, my gaze fell upon the anxious and uneasy shop assistant. "Who gave you this letter?"

He was wholeheartedly determined to avenge his parents, which not only harmed many people but also led to his own downfall. The source and root of all this turmoil stemmed from that ancestral manual of the sinister sword techniques.

Guerrilla fighters receive 1,000 taels, the district commander 800 taels, the garrison commander 500 taels, the thousand-man captain 300 taels, the squad leader 100 taels, and everyone present in the hall receives their share

Wang Xiao knew that the cassock was hidden here, but he did not know the exact location

A figure fell beside the shop assistant, grabbing his shoulder and leaping up directly

Two days later, the waiter from the local tavern arrived outside the Fuwei Escort Agency, shouting, "Master Yu of the Qingcheng Sect, here is your letter. If you want the genuine Evil-Repelling Sword Manual, look at the letter."

As the first novice world, the task of destroying the Evil Sword Manual is truly not difficult

Wang Xiao stood up, left a piece of broken silver on the table, held his head high, walked out of the tavern, and mounted his horse, heading towards the direction of Fuzhou City

Wang Xiao, male, single, without money, possesses a system

Laudano's mind is truly like a sun dog; this guy is clearly looking for trouble, and I can't help but wish to smash his head with a slap

Wang Xiao certainly did not have so much money himself; as soon as the funds for the military expenditures of Quanzhou Prefecture for the new fiscal year were allocated, he unhesitatingly took them out to win people's hearts

He carried with him the appointment order from the Ministry of War designating him as the Deputy General of Quanzhou Prefecture, and he also had several hundred taels of silver and gold ingots on him. Otherwise, Wang Xiao would have been unable to endure the journey long ago

Fortunately, it is still early in the day, and he has plenty of time to search slowly.

In the splendid season of spring in the southern country, the gentle breeze caresses the willows, and the fragrance of flowers is intoxicating

Compared to the fortunate elder brother who is an orphan, Lin Pingzhi, who has both parents and a happy family, can be summarized in two words: tragedy

This is sufficient. Wang Xiao held the cassock firmly, resolutely refusing to look down any further

The wall is not high, and there are also damaged areas. Wang Xiao easily climbed over the wall and entered.

More than a month ago, Wang Xiao was completely focused on playing games at home when suddenly a guy claiming to be the Wish System inundated him with a large amount of information. Before he could react, he had already arrived in this world.

Wang Xiao did not stay to prevent the conflict between the two sides

Upon arriving at the Buddhist hall in the rear courtyard, one can see the weathered image of Bodhidharma facing the wall. This is the place where Lin Yuantu, after his retirement in later years, devoted himself to the practice of Buddhism and meditation.

Wang Xiao's first mission was when Lin Pingzhi, the young escort leader of the Fuwei Escort Agency, made a vow to the heavens in the West Lake dungeon, asking the heavens to destroy the evil sword manual that had harmed his entire family

Indeed, obtaining the cassock does not count as completing the task; it must be destroyed instead

... ...

After the Incident at the Tumu Fortress, the Ming army began to decline rapidly. Like those with large turbans, they were all in pursuit of wealth

Indeed, it is that Young Master Lin who practiced "To master the divine skill, one must first undergo castration."

After all, the opportunity to come to this world was given by Young Master Lin, and Wang Xiao's assistance was merely a matter of convenience and goodwill

As soon as I relaxed my grip, the letter vanished without a trace

This world is filled with hypocrites and true villains, and they are all exceptionally skilled in martial arts. After some contemplation, Wang Xiao set a goal for himself: since he has come, he cannot leave empty-handed; he must obtain some benefits no matter what.

"What a coincidence." Wang Xiao raised his wine bowl

This initial meeting gift is at least several thousand taels of silver, truly extravagant in every sense

What does the general look like

As for how to maintain military affairs thereafter, Wang Xiao stated that he has completed his mission and is leaving, and it is none of his concern

Wang Xiao is not a fool; in this day and age, no one engages in activities that offer no benefits. He is already exhausted from trying to make a living, thank you very much

It is certainly unacceptable to help others fulfill their wishes while gaining nothing for oneself. Since the system has not provided any guidance, Wang Xiao must find a way to benefit himself.
