Rebirth: Living in Wilderness with My Superpower
Chapter 314: Astonishing Background

Chapter 314: Chapter 314: Astonishing Background

In the past, he and his fellow disciples often debated this matter, and their master and younger sister frequently found it noisy, so they chased them to the foot of the mountain to let them debate to their hearts’ content.

Since becoming embroiled in this war, they had not debated their studies so fervently in a long time.

The group exchanged glances, and in a daze, they remembered Li Wenli’s words, "Even in hell, one can still long for the human world."

Their spirits suddenly brightened.

"Perhaps Heaven intended for us brothers to fall into this situation so that we could meet you. Our master often says that the Mohists promote the welfare of the people and eliminate the calamities of the people. Now the calamity of the people in this chaotic world is the war itself, and my brothers are trapped in this dilemma, fearing that there will no longer be a chance to eliminate this calamity for the people. Now, we can only pass on this mantle to the two of you, not asking you to fulfill the Mohists’ mission but merely to let this agricultural struggle continue."

Lame Man Uncle’s words came from the heart, sincere and earnest. After he finished, One-Eyed and One-Armed also looked at them, "The senior brother still trusts you, revealing such an important sect inheritance, as are the affairs of His Majesty."

Bai Junjun and Li Wenli had never imagined that a simple recipe for salt could exchange for such grand things.

However, after listening for a long time, they were still confused and had to ask.

"What exactly are these so-called ’affairs of His Majesty’ and ’agricultural struggles’?"

"The affairs of His Majesty are naturally about assisting the king in achieving his great cause with divine weapons, but such divine weapons, being too contrary to the Heavenly Dao, should not be easily produced, or else it violates the admonitions of the Mohists."

Divine weapons?

The two glanced at each other unconsciously. Were there any divine weapons more powerful than firearms and ammunition? They mastered Earth, Water, Fire, Wind. How could these ancient cold weapons be so impressive? Could they still surprise them?

However, they had indeed been careless.

When One-Eyed and One-Armed told them about the repeating crossbow cart, rotating shooting machine, and siege cart, which were nearly semi-automatic weapons, they were dumbfounded.

The so-called repeating crossbow cart, just like the repeating crossbow in Bai Junjun’s hand, was an automatic crossbow, but its power was greater.

Because it was mounted like a cannon on the city wall, it could fire a hundred arrows simultaneously, making it extremely effective for defending a city.

As for the rotating shooting machine, it was an advanced version of the repeating crossbow cart. In addition to firing crossbow arrows, it could also rotate with an angle reach of 120 degrees, truly a living shooting tower.

The siege cart and battering ram were similar to tanks, one charging into battle on the battlefield, the other specifically used to break through city gates.

These things only existed in legends, lost with the disappearance of the Mo Family.

But even though they were lost, the Mo Family had become the most unique among the Hundred Schools of Thought, still mentioned in the ancestral tales passed down by word of mouth even in the 666th year of the apocalypse.

Bai Junjun had never imagined that one day she could personally encounter these lost supreme arts; mere surprise could not express her feelings.

She felt a surge of excitement flooding her body at this moment. What were these old men talking about Outer sect disciples for? Could Outer sect disciples even be privy to these things?

"I don’t understand."

Compared to Bai Junjun’s excitement, Li Wenli had more concerns and directly voiced his doubts.

"If they possess such treasures, why would they let themselves fall to this state?"

If they just revealed their identity, let alone a general, probably the Third Prince would invite them to sit in high positions and appoint them as State Preceptors. Why suffer in this place, barely surviving?

One-Eyed Uncle smiled, "Do you know the teachings of the Mohists? If Mohists were like other factions, willing to be lapdogs for the imperial power, why would they choose to live in seclusion?"

They sought not wealth and rank for the sake of imperial power but advocated for the common people.

All disciples did the same.
