Died of old age, and you tell me this is a life simulation?

As he said this, he couldn't help but laugh softly.

When the others heard this, they couldn't help but burst into laughter for a moment, but they quickly lowered their voices and didn't dare to make too much noise.

What everyone learned most in the recruit camp was military rules and regulations. Discipline has become a habit. If they were not too excited, they would not communicate during sleep and rest.

When Hua Yun heard everyone laughing, she felt a surge of heat and a bad smell.

They registered their identity cards in the city that day and received a letter of recommendation from the barracks. At that time, they were still hesitant, not knowing whether they should really go to the rebel barracks. Hua Yun was the most opposed to this, and shouted that instead of being a small soldier in the rebel army, it would be better to return to Fengyang and join the rebellion against the court. In this way, they could make their own decisions and would not have to be under the command of others.

When they arrived at the new recruit camp, they were treated somewhat differently because of their identity as a member of the Ming Cult. The composition of the new recruits in the camps they were assigned to was more complicated.

While there weren't any significant deficiencies or differences overall, Hua Yun wasn't entirely satisfied. He felt that his fellow soldiers had come with sincerity, so why were they being treated differently? Being in this rebel army was truly boring. The first few days were filled with boring training on posture and discipline. Although Hua Yun completed these tasks well, he was generally frustrated and privately expressed his dissatisfaction with his fellow Fengyang brothers. However, these instances became noticeably less frequent as time went on. By the seventh or eighth day, Hua Yun had given up on returning to Fengyang. He buried his head in the training and completed various learning tasks with greater enthusiasm than anyone else.

0 ...... 0

Now that Zhu Yuanzhang mentioned this, Hua Yun couldn't help but feel anxious.

He must not be a fool!

What I had seen and heard in the city before, the rebel army’s military appearance and power, as well as their various actions, had already shocked and amazed me!

However, there was a layer of separation, like seeing flowers in the fog, and it was difficult to clearly see the details of the rebel army. But after entering the recruit camp, what I saw and heard, coupled with my personal experience, it was clear to me that this rebel army could truly accomplish great things!

If he still clamors to go back to his hometown in Fengyang, then he would be as stupid as a pig!

Not to mention whether I could recruit soldiers to start a rebellion, even if I managed to gather an army, what would that even mean? Wouldn't the future be bleak? Who could guarantee success? Who could guarantee success? Rebellion is inherently risky. Rather than going it alone and hoping for that slim chance, it's better to quickly join the rebel army and make a name for yourself within it. That's the right path!

In fact, every time Hua Yun recalled his original thoughts, he would feel a genuine sense of absurdity and weirdness.

The road is right in front of me, but instead of wanting to walk on it, I want to go alone on the rugged and thorny path.

There is a high probability that it is a dead end.

I don’t know what the goal is?

Fortunately I stayed.

Otherwise you will regret it to your heart's content.

Chapter 461: The impressions of the people in Fengyang!

If this matter had not been mentioned, Hua Yun would have thought that his brothers in his hometown had long forgotten about it. But when it suddenly came up, he really couldn't hold it in anymore.

However, he was also frank and only sighed, "Brothers, laugh if you want! I was indeed confused at the time. I didn't know the details of the situation and said some ignorant words. Now, after spending a month in this barracks, I feel like I have been reborn. I can really see the capabilities of our rebel army from a small perspective! I, Hua Yun, am now completely devoted to following the rebel army to achieve great things. I don't care about anything else."

Zhu Chongba smiled and said, "It was just a joke, Brother Huayun, don't take it to heart. You weren't the only one feeling hesitant back then. I was equally nervous, but I had already registered my identity, received my badge and recommendation documents, and was trapped. I couldn't afford to desert, and I also wanted to see what was going on, so I decided to bring all of you brothers to this rebel barracks. Now it seems like it was a fortuitous decision!"

Xu Da also said, "Brother Zhu is right! If I hadn't joined the rebel army, I wouldn't have known there were so many tricks to marching, fighting, and training soldiers. This month isn't a long time, but it feels like an eternity, and the benefits are immense! The rebel army has been incredibly generous in treating our own people."

"Isn't it!" Tang He thought carefully about what he had gained in the past month and still felt incredible. "They taught me the superior martial arts of Henglian, as well as reading and writing, military tactics, and provided me with three full meals a day. To put it bluntly, this is what being a second parent would be like, right?!"

actually......

There is also a reason why many people in the recruit camp are working hard and even trying their best to train and learn.

tmd

No one has ever been so kind to them in their life! No one has ever cared so much about them!

Everyone came to join the army with various utilitarian purposes in mind, but they received such generous treatment. This made many young and strong people who did not know what "a gentleman will die for his friend" meant to inexplicably feel similar gratitude and thoughts.

Although a month is a short time, it is enough for all the new recruits to remember it for the rest of their lives. From Tang He's own point of view, there is nothing else to lose in this life but to sell it to the rebels.

He was a core figure in the Fengyang branch, lacking nothing in daily life, yet he was still so loyal. Those who were even more humble, or even had nothing, must be even more loyal! Those who were wholeheartedly willing to serve him wholeheartedly were everywhere in the camp!

Of course, Tang He's loyalty was not entirely based on goodwill. The fact that he had a clear, visible and tangible path to advancement within the rebel army was also an important reason for his great loyalty.

"Superior Horizontal Refining Martial Arts..." Deng Yu said, his tone inexplicable. "What we consider to be superior and exquisite is just basic martial arts in the eyes of the instructors. I wonder what kind of profound foundation is hidden in the righteous army."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone fell silent.

In the eyes of the core group of the Fengyang branch of the Ming Cult, the superior martial art named [Small Zhoutian Guiyuan Posture] is as exquisite and superb as a divine skill!

Things to know...

In the martial arts world, they are also considered good players. Maybe they cannot be called first-class, but they are definitely not weak.

But even they had never seen such exquisite skills!

Compared to what they have practiced and learned, it is more than a hundred times more advanced! ?

In just one month, his strength increased significantly, and his internal energy also improved significantly. What an amazing effect!?

Zhu Yuanzhang and the others even felt that this [Small Zhoutian Guiyuan Posture] might not be worse than the Ming Cult's highest technique [The Great Shift of the Universe]!

Um......

Although they had never seen the [Great Shift of the Universe], they thought that no matter how exquisite it was, it could only be like this.

At most, they are on par with each other.

However, such an extremely exquisite and superior martial art was only evaluated as "basic" by their instructor.

How can it not be terrifying when you think about it?

Under normal circumstances, they might not believe such an incredible thing, but within a month, their instructor had demonstrated his profound martial arts attainments more than once. In the eyes of Zhu Yuanzhang, Xu Da, Tang He and others, such a situation was definitely comparable to the Five Wandering Warriors of the Ming Cult, or even the Four Dharma Protectors!

In the rebel army, a new recruit instructor has such strength. Think about the female general they saw in the city that day and the clerk who processed the identity cards. They either showed extremely deep internal strength or exquisite swordsmanship. All these things show that there are countless strong people in the rebel army, and there are hidden dragons and crouching tigers. How dare they not believe it?

But if that were true, then I wonder how truly superior martial arts would appear in the eyes of the rebels!?

Hua Yun asked with some anticipation, "Do you think the Military Academy will teach more advanced martial arts?"

"I don't know, but..." Zhu Chongba pondered and said, "We haven't practiced this Xiao Zhou Tian Gui Yuan Zhuang to a high level, so I'm afraid we won't be able to teach you anything in the short term..."

Xu Da also said: "How can the inheritance of martial arts be easily passed down? Just this one method is already a great fortune! It is comparable to what we have gained in the Ming Cult over the years."

"..."

After hearing this, everyone was speechless for a moment.

After hearing this, I thought about it carefully and realized that it was true.

They have been members of the Ming Cult for quite some time and have become the core members of each branch. Naturally, they have made many contributions. But to be honest, the leader of the branch, Zhu Yuanzhang, is only proficient in the Big and Small Hongquan. Not to mention Xu Da, Tang He and others, the martial arts they know cannot be called exquisite.

But within a few days of joining the rebel army, 5.1 was able to learn martial arts that were ten or even a hundred times more sophisticated than what they had acquired after years of practice.

The contrast between the two is really stark!

Zhu Chongba frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and finally offered a fair response: "Ever since the disappearance of the previous Sect Leader Yang, the sect has been leaderless and fragmented. The local branches and the main temple are at odds, each operating independently, leading to the loss of the inheritance. There's nothing that can be done about it."

After all, the core martial arts inheritance of the Ming Cult is naturally located on the main temple, Guangmingding. The foundation of their branch temples is always far inferior.

(ps: Asking for custom orders, full orders, flowers, evaluations, monthly tickets, comments, and support~)

Chapter 462 The so-called Ming Zun!

Hearing this, Hua Yun disagreed. "Even if we were from the main temple, it would be difficult to obtain the sect's superior martial arts inheritance. We wouldn't be treated as generously as the righteous army! Besides, the rumored [Great Shift of the Universe] technique is a divine skill that only the sect leader can view and practice. No matter how remarkable the contributions of ordinary sect members are, how could they even get a glimpse of it?"

Zhu Chongba shook his head secretly and sighed, "How can we judge the situation within the righteous army with common sense?"

This is true for all sects in the world. Although the Ming Cult is different from ordinary martial arts sects, the matter of inheritance is also of great importance. I am afraid that there is only one sect in the world that has the structure and courage of the Righteous Army!

If we use this as a standard, it would be too demanding.

Hua Yun said, "That being said, when comparing the two, they are truly worlds apart, with a completely different feeling."

Everyone agreed with this.

After a moment of silence, Deng Yu spoke, "Brother Zhu, we are, after all, members of the Ming Cult. Although we have joined the righteous army and received their teachings, we will also attend the Military Academy tomorrow for further training. So, we are simply serving with our lives! Nothing else to say! But I still have some concerns. Is this Ming Cult background a hindrance? What plans should we make for the future? What should we do with the Fengyang branch? Will we ever return?"

After several questions, everyone was silent.

After seeing the wider world, it is naturally impossible for them to return to Fengyang and become the leader of a sect or a follower of a religion!

But what Deng Yu said does make sense.

First of all, they couldn't just go out and forget about their fellow countrymen and brothers from the Fengyang branch, right?

Secondly, their identity as members of the Ming Cult is quite eye-catching.

Zhu Yuanzhang was particularly uneasy about this.

It's not that they're afraid of being targeted or anything like that. After a month in the rebel barracks, they've learned everything they need to know. Although the rebels have made a distinction between them and others with more complex identities, they basically treat everyone the same. It's just...

He always has some concerns in his mind.

What he was worried about was not anything else, but whether his identity as a member of the Ming Cult would have a certain negative impact on the future of him and his old brothers in Fengyang?

Although it can be seen from the selection of the Military Academy that the rebel army acted fairly and strictly and would not discriminate against anyone based on their background, even someone as deep-minded and meticulous as Zhu Yuanzhang still found it difficult to be completely at ease.

He had just kept it in his heart and had never said it out loud. Now that Deng Yu had pointed it out, he pondered for a while. Although he didn't know how to make a decision for the moment, he couldn't help but have some heartfelt words to say to his brothers.

"When we joined the Ming Cult, it was initially simply to save our lives. We brothers all knew this. Later, we were drawn to its teachings of punishing evil and promoting good, and saving the world. That's when we sincerely became members of the Ming Cult! We believe that one day, the Holy Fire of the Ming Zun will burn away all darkness and corruption in the world, allowing light to descend! Saving the world from great suffering!"

Everyone heard what Zhu Yuanzhang said. Although they didn't know why he said that, they all listened attentively and responded solemnly.

Zhu Chongba continued, "But what I saw and heard later on was inevitably disappointing. How many people in the world can truly live up to the tenets of the teachings? Who within the cult can truly adhere to them? The world is in turmoil, the government is corrupt, the oppressive government is oppressing the people, and the people are suffering unspeakably. Although our Ming Cult has caused many uprisings, there have always been times of great momentum, such as the Jiangnan Uprising, which affected most of the country and shook the southeast. If you count carefully, there have been two such uprisings in the past century, right? But in the end, without exception, they were all suppressed one by one. Every time I think about it, the reason for their downfall is nothing more than abandoning the teachings.

Once they gained power, they controlled only a few states and prefectures, and they became arrogant and conceited, completely forgetting their original vows to punish evil, promote good, and relieve the poor. Instead, they became evildoers who oppressed the people, losing the support of the people! As a result, the favorable situation was completely destroyed in an instant! It is truly heartbreaking!

And now, the position of the leader of our Ming Cult has been vacant since the previous leader Yang Dingtian. There is a power struggle within the headquarters. One of the two envoys of light is gone. The four Dharma protectors have either fled to other places, left the sect, set up their own sects, or disappeared. The five scattered people have also left the headquarters. It seems that the cult is falling apart!

The leaders of the local branch altars are mostly those who have forgotten the main purpose of the doctrine. Although there have been many uprisings in recent years, they have been confined to a city or a place, causing no major disturbance and being suppressed by local authorities. At that time, when I think about it carefully, I really doubt whether the "great light" mentioned in the doctrine really exists in this world. The god [Ming Zun] is so illusory and illusory, it is difficult to distinguish between true and false! Is there really such a [Ming Zun] in this world!?

"Brother Zhu, you..."

Everyone was shocked when they heard this.

The so-called [Ming Zun], also known as the [God of Fire], is the deity worshipped by everyone in the Ming Cult! He is the supreme being that rules the world of light!

Zhu Yuanzhang's words were extremely disrespectful!

If this gets out, the consequences will be unimaginable!

Zhu Chongba kept talking, ignoring the crowd's surprise and suspicion.

He paused for a moment, then spoke in a deep and serious tone, "I originally had deep doubts and secretly speculated on the truth, but... during this trip to Jiangnan, I saw all kinds of situations and the extraordinary aspects of the rebel army. They are all vivid in my mind, which makes me no longer have any doubts!

The "Ming Zun" mentioned in that teaching definitely exists! He has finally appeared in the world! He is here to save the world from suffering!"

"Brother Zhu, you mean..." Deng Yu opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but did not continue.

Hua Yun was young and full of vigor, but his blood was boiling, and he became a little excited: "What our righteous army has done is exactly in line with the main purpose of the doctrine! So, [Ming Zun] is the one..."

"Be careful with your words!" Xu Da was shocked and quickly spoke to stop Hua Yun from speaking.

Chapter 463: Blazing Holy Fire!

During this month's training for new recruits, everyone not only learned all the details, but also naturally became clear about the real leader of the rebel army.

And precisely because we know this, we must be even more cautious!

That one...

Although they had never met him, they knew of his famous name before the Jiangnan Uprising.

A record of barefoot medical practice has benefited people all over the world, and their Ming Cult is no exception.

In the Fengyang branch alone, many brothers were saved and survived because of this.

Later, various prophecies and signs of the Jiangnan Uprising were circulated. After hearing them, they quickly realized what was going on.

After all, he was from the Ming Cult, so he was very familiar with the prelude to rebellion, but what followed was hesitation.

It's also hard to tell whether this was his own initiative, or whether he was being used by others as a banner to rally people's support, or whether it was a setup or a frame-up...

Until the Jiangnan Uprising, everything turned upside down!

At that time, I witnessed the stern and majestic power of the righteous army, as well as its various good governance measures. In less than a month, they swept across most of Jiangnan. Later, I personally joined the righteous army and experienced firsthand the extraordinary things within it. Until now...
