Zhou Hedao: "The Hunting Conference started a year ago. It was a grand event held by Emperor Yun specifically to test the young talents of Panshi Kingdom. Participants have age restrictions and are recommended by various places. Master Cang is both of good age and cultivation.

I hope I can get a good ranking.”

Canghai said: "What's the point of winning a good ranking?"

Zhou Hedao: "The purpose of the conference is to discover talented people. Those who perform well will be awarded official positions, rewarded with training resources, or accepted by famous teachers. The better the ranking, the more benefits. Moreover, there are many former candidates in the trial venue.

Human relics, if you are lucky, you can get any magic weapon or skill inheritance, it will be an infinite blessing."

Canghai said: "Since it is selected and recommended by all over the country and it is such a grand scene, why haven't we in Zhoushan Town heard of this?"

Zhou Hedao: "I just asked Mr. Liang before I came here. He said that he had sent people to investigate. Unfortunately, Zhoushan is a small place. Either those who have sufficient cultivation are not of the right age, or those who are of the right age have low cultivation and cannot meet the standards of the conference, or

Just do evil and have bad character, and in the end

There was no one to recommend, and the announcement did not say that there was a mandatory requirement for recommendation. Master Liang was so angry that he simply ignored the announcement. If he had known that there was a young hero like you, he would have

No need to worry about having no one to recommend."

Canghai said: "It sounds good, at least it provides a lot of opportunities for monks from poor families everywhere."

Zhou Hedao: "Yes, in the past, the talent channel was narrow. Wherever people were needed, most of them were directly transferred from several famous mountain sects to fill the vacancies. In recent years, the war has been intense, and there have been countless casualties on the front line. The supply of people trained by famous mountain sects has gradually become insufficient.

If we don’t find a way to absorb new energy from the folk monks, there will be no one to use it.”

Canghai said: "Why didn't you pay attention to civilian monks in the past, and you had to wait until there were almost no people before you thought of holding this kind of trial conference?"

Zhou He sighed: "It's not that Emperor Yun doesn't pay attention, it's just that the situation has changed too fast and the plan can't keep up. Do you know where the new disciples recruited by several famous mountain sects every year come from? They are all recruited from the private sector.

.Each famous mountain sect is equivalent to the royal training institution, and those who come out of it have undergone strict assessment and can be recruited immediately.

Ready to use. Now we are skipping the formal training link and recruiting directly. Although it is expected to recruit more people, it is inevitable that the quality will be uneven. This is why this hunting conference was born.

It is a simulated battlefield, a concentrated trial, to eliminate those who are not up to par among the many participants."

Canghai said: "So, since it is a simulated battlefield, it must be very cruel."

Zhou Hedao: "It's not cruel to say the least. You can't kill people in the trial meeting, but many, many people will die on the real battlefield. The head of Cang is extremely talented, and this time he showed his power to kill the vicious demon from Jinliang country. I am very moved.

,

It would be a pity if your skills cannot be used by our emperor. To tell you the truth, I will come back this time and return you something in vain. I don’t want to see your skills wasted on this small gang.

But it’s the real deal in the dispute.”

Canghai shook his head and said: "I didn't want to fight among the sects. I just had to do it because bad people came to bully me. My only wish in this life is to find someone to cure my father's injury and earn a little money. No.

I worry about food and clothing, and live my own life in peace and contentment. But I have no interest in hunting meetings."

Zhou Heyi was startled and said: "You don't want to participate in the hunting conference?"

Canghai said: "I don't want to. I'm not the kind of person who likes to compete, so why bother competing with others for those ranking resources."

Zhou Hedao: "Those are just rewards for the outstanding ones. Our emperor's original intention of organizing the hunting conference is to discover the different strengths of each person and use them according to their aptitude. It does not mean that everyone must fight to the death to identify who is strong and who is weak."

Canghai said: "Then there is no need to participate. I neither want to be an official nor a disciple of a famous teacher, but I just want my family to be healthy and live a peaceful life."

Zhou He listened in silence for a long time, poured himself a few glasses of wine, and poured it down his throat. Canghai saw that he had a strange look on his face and did not dare to speak for a while.

After a long time, Zhou He finally spoke again: "Zhoushan Town is a quiet corner, where the people live a happy life and have not been tortured by the war. I don't know that the pain of broken mountains and rivers, wives and children is really normal. But have you ever thought about it, if everyone

sitting at home

It has nothing to do with you, no one maintains order, and no one guards the border. Once the front line is lost, the enemy army marches straight in. One day they will hit Zhoushan. What's the use of giving you a bunch of gold and silver, a magic doctor? Then you can still live a comfortable life.

Can you get up?"

As he spoke, he pointed towards the pile of ruins in front of him and said loudly: "At that time, no matter what gang, whether it is the Zhoushan government office, or even your village, the neighbors, relatives, friends, and your father you know,

You! Everything will just be like this house, turned into scorched earth!"

Canghai saw his eyes twinkling with hidden tears, and couldn't help but be touched in his heart. He said, "This junior just feels that he is insignificant and that even if he participates in it, it won't make any difference. He doesn't mean to stay out of it."

Zhou He took a long breath and said: "Master Cang's words are wrong. Those soldiers who stand on the front line day and night, are they all magic soldiers and generals? Can one of them be worth a hundred? Are they just that?

Are they born alone and without worries? No. They are also flesh and blood people who cherish their lives. They will be injured, die, and feel.

When they are helpless and desperate, they also have relatives, friends, wives, children, fathers and mothers. Just like you, they also want to live a peaceful life with their families. However, when the nest is overturned, how can there be complete eggs? When the country is about to be destroyed, how can there be any eggs?

Home? Only if everyone contributes can we defeat the enemy invaders faster and restore the great rivers and mountains of our Rock Country."

Cang Hai is indifferent by nature, and has never traveled far. After all, his knowledge is limited, and his thoughts are far from the overall situation of the world. Listening to his impassioned speech at this moment, although I can't empathize with him, the truth is clear, and he said apologetically: "

What Senior Zhou said is that the juniors sit in a well and look at the sky, but they don't know how far the outside world is. Is it possible that the Jinliang Kingdom is so powerful that our Panshi Kingdom can't defeat them?"

Zhou Hedao: "Jinliang Kingdom has a vast territory, more than twice the size of ours, but it is mostly silt lakes, with poor soil and little resource production. It is not like our Panshi Kingdom, which is connected for thousands of miles, so it has always wanted to connect us

of

The land is our own. The dispute between the two countries has lasted for more than two thousand years, and there have been countless casualties. Originally, our predecessors were able to gain a slight upper hand based on their background, but at this time, the Jin Kingdom suddenly launched an attack on our country.

Offensive."

Canghai said: "Where is this Jin country?"

Zhou Hedao: "Our Panshi Kingdom is located at the southern end of the Baiji Continent, and is mainly surrounded by four countries. Among them, the southern territory of our country is close to the sea, and the east is the Jinliang Kingdom."

As he spoke, he picked up the skewers and started skewering meat on the spot, saying: "This Jin country is in the north, adjacent to our country and Jinliang country, but the climate is dry and most of its land is desert, so its area is the same as several neighboring countries.

Although it is the largest in China, its population is

Not as good as our Rock Country. To the northwest is the Ghost Country. This country has been experiencing civil strife for many years, but it has no time to harass others. To the west is the Wulan Country, which upholds neutrality and has the smallest territory, but its people live a peaceful life and do not like disputes. On the contrary, the people are the most prosperous.

."

Canghai, a country man who couldn't leave the gate of Zhoushan, only listened with relish. Only then did he realize that the world was far bigger than he had imagined before. Hearing Zhou He's words, he nodded and saw Zhou He rowing to Wulan Kingdom.

He stopped drawing and pointed to a spot on the crude map: "What about here?"

There was a blank space in the corner between the Wulan Kingdom and the Panshi Kingdom. Zhou He picked up the sign and crossed out the area, saying: "This place is not a country, but a settlement place for the barbarian tribes in the southwest.

"

Canghai said: "Barbarians?"

Zhou Hedao: "Yes, this place is full of high mountains, winding roads, and countless poisonous beasts and miasma, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack. The people inside drink the blood of hairy flesh and live with poisonous snakes day and night, as if they are uncivilized, so they are called by the outside world

They are barbarians. And because of their place

Thousands of ravines separated various habitats, forming countless tribes of various sizes. Over the years, various tribes have been fighting against each other, but no one tribe has ever been able to dominate the overall situation, so it is impossible to talk about the establishment of a country.

Already."

Canghai said: "Well, let's put it this way, our Panshi Country is still stable from the border of Ghost Country to the south by the sea."

Zhou Hedao: "There are occasional conflicts, but they have little impact on the overall situation. The most detestable country is the Jinliang Kingdom. For thousands of years, they have been determined to destroy our Panshi Kingdom. They often find unprovoked excuses to invade our land and massacre our people. Their methods are outrageous. Their crimes are too numerous to describe."

."

Cang Hai said: "Why did you just say that the Jin Kingdom followed us to attack us?"

Zhou Hedao: "That was more than a hundred years ago. Most of the monks who experienced the national calamity at that time were no longer alive because they could not keep up with their cultivation and could not break through the longevity. I only heard what my ancestors said. The Jin Kingdom was also

My quite peaceful master, I don’t know why I was bewitched by Jin Liang Kingdom, and suddenly gathered a large army to attack our northern border. At that time, Jin Liang Kingdom spent two years in the east, and there were many casualties.

Not only did we not achieve any benefit, but we lost several cities in a row to us. However, as soon as the Jin Kingdom army came out, they became horns with the Jin Liang Army.

There are more than a hundred cities in the east, and a third of the land has fallen into the hands of thieves from the two countries, and they have not yet been conquered." When he said this, his tone was full of grief and indignation.

Cang Baizhong listened silently on the side and said: "Those compatriots in the fallen country must have suffered all the humiliation."

Zhou He gritted his teeth and said: "It's not just humiliation, it's worse than a rotten dog. For more than a hundred years, men have been slaves for generations, and women have been prostitutes for generations. All kinds of cruel torture have been constant, which makes life worse than death. It supports everyone's survival.

My only belief in going down is that I hope that one day my compatriots can fight back and restore our country."

As he spoke, he actually shed tears and said: "To be honest, Zhou escaped from that occupied area. I was only nine years old at the time, and my father, mother and sister risked their lives to protect me across the border, but they tried their best to protect me across the border.

Died by the moat."

Canghai felt apologetic in his heart and said: "This junior is ignorant and only now can I understand the pain of my senior. I kowtow to you and admit my mistake." After saying that, he left his seat and kowtowed to him.

Zhou He helped him up and said: "Head Cang doesn't know the tragic history of our Panshi Kingdom, but he is understandable. There is nothing wrong with him."

Canghai said: "I hunt and drink every day in this village, thinking that the years are peaceful and peaceful. Little did I know that the country is suffering from a catastrophe. I couldn't be more wrong."

Zhou He said: "Yes, if I, Emperor Yun, had not risen up and led the people to stabilize the situation, Zhoushan Mansion would have been like hell now. What is hateful is that there are still many national thieves like the Luo family who collude with foreign enemies and are causing trouble.
