Wuxia: An Immortal Taught Me Scientific Martial Arts Training

Chapter 19 Japanese Pirate Raid

"How would I know?"

Lei Long was somewhat exasperated and unexpectedly roared at Su Qing.

"I haven't been in contact with them for ages! I even stopped doing business because of this, and you still don't believe me?"

To be honest, Lei Long's acting skills are quite good; even with a fierce appearance, he can still show a wronged expression.

Even Su Qing was momentarily unable to distinguish between truth and falsehood, but soon she revealed her venomous eyes once again.

"Please wait, madam!"

Lei Long seemed to sense something was amiss, and immediately backed down, bending over and taking a few steps forward, whispering a few words in his hunched position.

Xiao Xuan, who was not far away, saw all of this and was both surprised and delighted.

He didn't expect that Lei Long would keep the matter of the Japanese pirates a secret from Su Qing, and Su Qing didn't even know the true identity of Furukawa Riko.

This suggests that Lei Long seems to have his own plans and is no longer aligned with the Xuan Yang Sect behind Su Qing.

The fact that there are internal conflicts within the enemy ranks is exactly the result Xiao Xuan hoped for.

But Su Qing is a landmine; if you press her too hard, she might use her Gu worms to blow everyone up.

Judging from Lei Long's attitude, he was probably afraid that she would turn against everyone, which would prevent him from obtaining the treasure that was right in front of him.

"Let the dogs keep fighting, and hopefully a few will die."

However, there was one thing Xiao Xuan didn't know: Lei Long also had a surge of anger he wanted to vent.

This was because these three Japanese pirate ships arrived half a day earlier than the time he and Riko Furukawa had agreed upon.

"These damned Japanese pirates are really going too far!"

Lei Long's gaze swept over Furukawa Riko, and after cursing, he addressed the crowd again:

"We have to go back! We need to get our ship around to the back of the island, otherwise even if we succeed in getting the treasure, we'll just be trapped and killed by the Japanese pirates."

"This island is frequently invaded by Japanese pirates, and the islanders are on guard against them. They must have already engaged in combat by now."

Wei Ziheng was very familiar with the nameless island, so he thought it was just an ordinary Japanese pirate raid.

In addition, he knew that these islanders were no ordinary people, so he did not panic at all.

"If we can stall for just one more day and night, we might be able to successfully solve this puzzle!"

"That's excellent!"

Lei Long nodded. He knew that the islanders would definitely fight the Japanese pirates. It was because his poisoning attempt failed that he entrusted the task of massacring the island to the Japanese pirates.

Things are progressing very smoothly for Lei Long, which has made him somewhat complacent and less wary of others.

"I, Lei, will go back first to find a way out for everyone. You all, please solve the mechanism here."

After saying that, Lei Long returned to the valley towards the entrance of the stone cave, and Su Qing followed closely behind without saying a word.

The remaining six people, including Wei Ziheng, were left in the cave, remaining silent and somewhat at a loss.

Wang Hong was the first to make a move. When he saw Wang Hong's gaze coming towards him, Xiao Xuan immediately drew his sword to meet his eyes. After glancing at Wei Ziheng, Wang Hong snorted coldly.

"Wang also went out to take a look."

After speaking, Wang Hong left the cave, and then Riko Furukawa followed without saying a word.

Seeing this, Mai Shuangji immediately followed, but before leaving, he suddenly stopped and looked at the remaining three people, saying:

"No need to rush, our ship will arrive tonight."

"I know! Chief Lei already said so."

Sha Peng gave a curt reply and found a corner to sit down.

Wei Ziheng sighed, glanced at Xiao Xuan, and then looked up at the holes.

Xiao Xuan could tell that Mai Shuangji was speaking to him.

The "our boat" he referred to was not the boat of Qianlangzhai, but the boat of McDonald's.

With this, Xiao Xuan felt more confident and began meditating and cultivating again in preparation for the impending chaos.

...

An hour later, sunlight shone into the hole, and the stone cave was once again brightened by the reflection of the jade.

At this moment, Xiao Xuan also stood up and observed together with Wei Ziheng.

As the sunlight shone on the jade, the reflected light gradually focused on a single point, which was one of the characters on the wall.

"people?"

Wei Ziheng nodded and immediately went to the letter mechanism, pressing the letters r, e, and n in turn.

"Senior Wei?"

Xiao Xuan was stunned. How did Wei Ziheng know Pinyin?

Neither his past life's knowledge nor his memories of this life have ever mentioned that the ancients understood pinyin.

Moreover, when everyone first arrived at the cave, Wei Ziheng clearly had no clue about it. Was he just pretending?

"Imperial Jade Liquor!"

Xiao Xuan shouted loudly and immediately stared at Wei Ziheng's reaction.

"What?"

Wei Ziheng stroked his beard in surprise.

"Imperial Jade Liquor!"

"I've never drunk this kind of wine before."

"Coca-Cola or Pepsi? Different eras? Unity is..."

Xiao Xuan was stunned. Wei Ziheng hadn't given anything away, and no matter what he said, the other party remained completely bewildered.

"Boy, have you gone mad with qi deviation?"

"Senior Wei, how did you solve this mechanism? And why were these three symbols used?"

Wei Ziheng glanced at Sha Peng, who had already started snoring in the distance, and smiled slightly:

"It's normal that you don't understand it. This is called the alphabet, and very few people in the whole of Ningguo understand it."

"what?"

Xiao Xuan was even more confused now. Why were there people in this world who all used pinyin?

Judging from Lei Long and the others' reactions last night, they clearly don't understand.

Could it be that these three time travelers also passed it down?

"Kid, do you even know what compulsory education is?"

"Know."

"When the Ning Kingdom was first established, the former ruler of the Liang Kingdom surrendered to the Northern Abyss with his ministers, and there was no one in the court who could be of use."

Therefore, Emperor Taizu decreed that all citizens of school age must receive education in order to select talented individuals.

These selected talents were said to have been taught by the Empress, and one of their lessons was pinyin.

A year has passed, and Ningguo has not only assembled a brand-new team and implemented various benevolent policies, but has also broken the centuries-old monopoly of powerful families.

However, because pinyin was too cumbersome, it was later omitted and never saw the light of day.

After hearing Wei Ziheng's story, Xiao Xuan immediately thought of the three words "Teacher Training Student" on the stone wall.

A teacher trainee and a time traveler—it's understandable that they could do such a thing, but...

"That Senior Wei?"

"My father was one of them, but unfortunately he embezzled too much and ended up being exiled."

"I see, that is indeed a secret."

Xiao Xuan clicked his tongue. He realized that as someone who had transmigrated later, he would have to be careful if he wanted to take advantage of information gaps in the future, or he might get tricked by these seniors.

I originally planned to do nothing and just wait for the McDonald's boat to arrive in the evening.

Even without his help, Wei Ziheng was able to crack the mechanism designed by modern people all by himself.

When the ingenious sage designed this mechanism on the island, he probably never imagined that the pinyin that only modern people know would already be used by his sweetheart to sell lessons.

"Poor old man, it feels like you and I both wasted our time traveling here?"

Xiao Xuan scratched his head. Since Wei Ziheng was so capable, he decided to take this opportunity to go out and check the situation.
