Chapter 24 Heavenly Punishment!

The deafening roar was like a bolt from the blue, shocking everyone on the street.

For a moment, the entire ghost market fell into an eerie silence.

The people kneeling on the street stared blankly at the "immortal" falling from the sky, as if they could hardly believe what they saw.

The immortal who had achieved enlightenment and ascended to heaven was tragically struck by thunder... Could this be a punishment from heaven?

This is certainly not a punishment from heaven!
Su Wuming, who had been staying by his cousin's side, saw clearly that it was the 'truth' in his cousin's hand that shot down Yin Julang!
But with Su Wuming's current wisdom, he still couldn't understand why this thing could be so powerful.

He only knew that Su Haoming simply lifted it up, and a flame shot out from the front end of the fine iron, striking down the so-called immortal above his head like thunder!
Noticing the stunned, shocked and awed looks from the people around him, Su Haoming, who had been so proud just now, immediately began to regret it.

He fired a shot at Yin Julang in a fit of rage, and while he felt good about it, the consequences were no joke...

There's nothing we can do. Who told this guy to be so arrogant? Not only is he arrogant, but he's also floating at a low altitude of about ten meters, and his speed is as fast as crawling. He's simply a sitting duck. Anyone would be unable to control themselves, right?

Su Haoming first comforted himself, and then his brain worked rapidly, thinking about the next countermeasures.

The next second, he suddenly turned around and knelt on the ground, opened his arms in front of Su Wuming's confused eyes, and shouted enthusiastically:

"The demon is immoral and boasts of ascending to heaven. The immortal has revealed his holiness and will punish him!"

"Brother! General Lu! This is a true immortal appearing!"

As soon as these words were spoken, people on the street were attracted.

"The Immortal has revealed his holiness and will bring down divine punishment!"

"The Immortal is showing his holiness, the Immortal is showing his holiness!"

Everyone's eyes gradually became fanatical, and they stood up and rushed towards the mansion, as if they were planning to go in and meet the real immortal.

They were all kneeling in worship of Yin Shilang who had ascended to heaven. They only knew that the loud noise came from this direction, but did not see Su Haoming firing the gun.

Taking advantage of this information gap, Su Haoming shifted the gunshots to the mansion behind him. Seeing him act like this, the people who were unaware of the situation naturally thought that it was the spirit enshrined in the mansion appearing.

The crowd rushed over frantically and began to perform the ritual of three kneelings and nine kowtows before they even got close.

Su Wuming's heart tightened when he saw this, and he quickly pulled his cousin away, whispering, "What are you doing?"

Su Haoming didn't respond, but turned to Lu Lingfeng and said, "General Lu, what are you still standing there for? The demon has been shot down by the immortal. Go and capture him!"

"..."

Lu Lingfeng finally came to his senses.

He looked at Su Haoming with a complicated expression, then gritted his teeth, raised his hand and waved, leading the other three Jinwu guards to run towards the direction where Yin Shilang fell.

Seeing this, Su Haoming breathed a sigh of relief and quickly whispered, "Brother, let's take advantage of the chaos and get away!"

Although Su Wuming had many things he wanted to ask, given the current situation, he could only go with the flow.

……

……

Not long after, the Su family's master and servants finally escaped from the ghost market and returned to the county lieutenant's residence.

After entering the room, Su Wuming winked at Su Qian.

The latter nodded slightly, looked at the young master worriedly, then turned and left the room, closed the door, and waited in the yard.

Seeing this scene, Su Haoming knew it was time to show his cards.

Sure enough, looking at his cousin who looked calm, Su Wuming said with a complicated expression:

"Su Haoming, do you know what you have done?"

"Of course." Su Haoming said with a smile, "I saved you."

This sentence actually refers not only to what just happened.

According to Boss Lin Yu, Uncle Qian will die at the hands of Yin Julang in the near future.

The reason why Su Haoming shot Yin Shilang was not only because he was impulsive, but also because he was worried about the future.

But it was impossible to tell this kind of thing to Su Wuming, so he could understand his cousin's behavior.

Su Wuming frowned and whispered, "Although I don't know how you got it, but the innocent man is guilty of possessing a treasure. How dare you flaunt such a powerful weapon in front of Lu Lingfeng?"

"He's from the Fanyang Lu family and he's the prince's man. Who knows what he'll do?"

"Yin Julang can run away, I can catch him again, but since you used this thing, how can I help you hide it?!"

"Yansheng, you'd better give me a reasonable explanation. Otherwise, I will have no choice but to send you back home and live a low-key life from now on..."

Yansheng was Su Haoming's childhood nickname, taken from the event of grabbing an inkstone during the Zhou Dynasty (1644-1911) celebration. Su Wuming had always called him that, but in recent years, as he had grown up, Su Wuming changed the name and generally only called him by his childhood nickname when no one was around.

"How can that be an exaggeration!" Su Haoming said with a smile, "Brother, you are really underestimating your own intelligence and overestimating the intelligence of those Jinwu Guards, aren't you?"

"Do you think they can think as deeply as you do?"

Su Wuming shook his head and said slowly: "It is better to be cautious in everything."

Su Haoming smiled and said, "I've already confirmed that my brother was the only one who saw me shoot. They just heard the gunshot. I can just make up some excuse and hide it from them without any problem."

Su Wuming frowned and asked, "Gun?"

Su Haoming explained: "It's not a spear, it's a musket."

"Musket?"

Su Wuming immediately blurted out: "Could it be related to gunpowder?"

Su Haoming was a little surprised, and then he praised: "You are worthy of being my brother!"

Gunpowder actually appeared as early as the Tang Dynasty. The earliest record of gunpowder can be found in the "Alchemy Classic" written by the King of Medicine Sun Simiao. Since this substance was accidentally obtained by doctors when they were refining elixirs, some people called it "gunpowder".

In order to solve the case and perform autopsies, Su Wuming studied a lot of medical classics, and "Alchemy Classics" was a must-read.

In addition, he was closest to Su Haoming at the time and could clearly smell the smell of sulfur, so it was not surprising that he associated the musket with gunpowder.

Su Wuming frowned and said, "But I still don't understand how this thing works..."

Su Haoming smiled and said, "As for the principle, it's quite simple. Brother, do you know how to blow darts?"

Su Wuming nodded and said, "Of course I know."

Su Haoming explained, "Blowguns use air to propel arrows. This thing works the same way, except it replaces the air with the force of gunpowder explosions, which can be used to propel objects heavier than arrows."

"Of course, this is easy to say, but it's not so easy to achieve..."

Su Wuming nodded thoughtfully.

He could imagine that if there was an explosive force propelling the arrow, it would indeed be a more powerful weapon than a blowgun.

However, making such a weapon must be extremely difficult. At least in Su Wuming's knowledge, the blacksmiths of the Tang Dynasty would never be able to make such a thing that could perfectly utilize the power of explosion.

"How did you get it?"

Su Wuming asked this key question.

Su Haoming thought for a moment and whispered, "Do you remember what I said when I was a kid?"

Su Wuming frowned: "Are you referring to the immortal imparting the Dharma?"

After saying this, without waiting for the other party to respond, he shook his head and said, "The talk of immortals is illusory. I didn't believe it back then, and I still don't believe it now!"

Su Haoming said helplessly, "Even if the immortal doesn't believe it, you should at least believe the teachings I give you. Otherwise, how can you explain all the knowledge I've given you that just popped out of thin air?"

"..."

Su Wuming fell into deep thought. After a long moment, he slowly nodded and said, "I believe this!"

Su Haoming didn't have much hope at first, so he was a little surprised when he heard this.

Su Wuming said calmly, "My mentor once said that there are no ghosts or gods in this world. There are only people who pretend to be ghosts."

"So what you learned in your childhood must have been secretly taught by a master!"

"Although I don't know where this master is hiding, or how he managed to avoid my teacher's personal guards and teach you every night, the knowledge he possesses about everything in the world is absolutely true."

Su Haoming was speechless and said, "So you believed it a long time ago?"

Su Wuming shook his head and said, "It wasn't me, it was my mentor. I didn't believe it at the time, but he firmly believed that there was a master behind you. He refused to accept you as his disciple out of respect for that master..."

"and many more!"

Su Haoming's eyes widened in disbelief, "You mean, Di Gong didn't want to take me in as his disciple because he thought I already had a master?"

Su Wuming looked at him strangely and said, "Of course. When you were a child, you were a child prodigy that our Su family had never seen before. If it weren't for this reason, why wouldn't my master be willing to accept you as his disciple?"

"..."

Su Haoming stared at his cousin blankly.

This is a huge loss!
