"Hall Master Lin, I know you are coming, but we have been looking forward to you." A large number of elderly people greeted Lin Haoming with smiles on their faces.
"This is Nan Ziren, the old gatekeeper of Haowen Town. He has been in Haowen Town since he was a child. It's almost a year since he became a gatekeeper, right?" Yu Zheng introduced him with a smile, and it seemed that he was still an old acquaintance.
"There are already more than one Jiazi. I have already become a guard at the age of twenty-six, and I am already eighty-eight this year." Nan Ziren smiled and made a gesture.
To become a guard in a big town, one must at least be in the late stage of Qi training, which means that this old man is at least the seventh level of Qi training when he is twenty-six years old. But now, after so many years, he is still at the peak of Qi training, and has not made a breakthrough in the following decades.
, but these are the majority of the lower-level immortal cultivators.
"Is there another doorman?" Lin Haoming asked.
"Hao Yan, I have sent someone to inform you. I really didn't know that Hall Master Lin would be arriving today. If we had known earlier, we would have prepared early, but I have already sent someone to prepare for the feast." Nan Ziren is indeed an old guard.
Arrangements were made immediately.
Lin Haoming was welcomed in, and at this time he saw that even though it was already evening, there were still many believers coming to worship.
The entire incense hall is actually very large. When you walk in, there is a garden corridor, which divides believers into several paths and leads them to an open space for worship further inside. Then inside is the main hall of the Goddess Xin. There are side halls on both sides of the main hall, and there are also side halls at the back.
There is an apse, and behind it is the residence of the hall master and the place where official affairs are discussed and handled.
The door guards and Xiangtang guards will only be here when they are on duty and are not stationed on weekdays. After all, the hall master himself is the highest in cultivation. Lin Haoming is the only foundation-building stage of Xiangtang. If he can't deal with the enemy, no matter how many others there are, there will be no one.
use.
Later, because the previous hall master left, part of the place was locked up. Now Nan Ziren unlocked it and let Lin Haoming enter.
"This is where the hall master lives. It is only opened every three days when someone is cleaning it. This is the key." After Nan Ziren introduced it, he handed the key to Lin Haoming.
Niu Qingyun took the initiative to take it at this time, and Nan Ziren also smiled and nodded at him.
"The hall master is here. Where is he? Take me to see him quickly." At this moment, a strong voice came from outside.
Lin Haoming watched a tall and burly man striding towards him.
"Hall Master Lin, this is the other guard Hao Yan." Yu Zhenghuan confirmed Lin Haoming's guess at this time.
"This is Hall Master Lin. My subordinate, Hao Yan, did not greet me. Please forgive me for not greeting him." Hao Yan arrived and saluted Lin Haoming directly.
"No need to be polite, I didn't inform you, you are already busy." Lin Haoming said with a smile.
"That's right, that's right." Yu Zhenghuan also nodded in agreement.
Lin Haoming looked at this Hao Yan. He looked rough and arrogant on the outside, but his actual age was estimated to be in his thirties. He was in the ninth level of Qi training. It seemed that he had not advanced enough and his aura was not very stable. In a place like this
It's quite okay to have such a level of cultivation at this age.
"Are you both born locally?" Lin Haoming also asked at this time.
"Mr. Nan is indeed a native of Haowen Town. I was born in the next county. I married the daughter of the local Cao family, so I'm here to stay." Hao Yan said cheerfully.
In fact, Yu Zhenghuan also mentioned two gatekeepers on the road before, and even mentioned the two major families in Haowen Town, namely the Nan family and the Cao family. Therefore, if you want to do well in Haowen Town, you must work with these two people.
Handle relationships well.
After going around for a while, Lin Haoming also took Niu Qingyun with him to attend the so-called reception banquet.
The reception banquet was at a restaurant not far away. When Lin Haoming arrived, he found that there were many people here. Apparently he had arrived, and all the prominent local people came over.
The two guards introduced several people one after another. They were indeed some of the most prestigious people here, including several immortal cultivators. Most of them were responsible for some industries in Haowen Town. Haowen Town was also close to Magic Steel County.
, so there are several large businesses in Magic Steel County smelting magic steel here in the entire town. The magic steel industry is also the most important pillar here. There are at least 30 people in the city who are busy with this matter, and it is less than thirty miles southeast of the city.
There is a large black iron mine, which is why it is relatively important here.
Lin Haoming also took note of them, and the person in charge of the largest two families was invited to sit at the same table.
These two are also immortal cultivators, a man and a woman. The man's name is Hua Haidu. He is about seventy or eighty years old, but looks like a middle-aged man in his forties. The other is a woman. Lin Haoming only knows her name as Mrs. Shen.
Both of them also have reached the eighth level and the ninth level in the later stage of Qi training. The former is the chief steward of Bailiantang here, and the latter is the concubine of Shang family Lianbaotang and the second master of the Shang family.
Bailiantang and Shangshi Treasure Refining Hall are both the largest weapon refining chambers in Magic Steel County. However, even in Magic Steel County, these two are just branches of Magic Steel County. When Lin Haoming came all the way,
I have briefly understood it, and some things are obvious. The two chambers of commerce are still based in Haoyuan City. As for what else is above Haoyuan City, Lin Haoming doesn't know.
Several people exchanged glasses at the wine table. After a while, Lin Haoming discovered that both the Cao family and the Nan family had some special interactions with them. From this point of view, the two people in Haowen Town
The big family may also have a relationship with these two major forces, but Lin Haoming still doesn't know what the relationship is.
After three rounds of drinking, the only woman, Mrs. Shen, with a bright red face and big watery eyes, looked at Lin Haoming and deliberately asked: "Palace Master Lin, you are just bringing Niu Guardsman to take office this time.
There is no fairy girl around, so why not choose a fairy girl locally?"
"I am young and it is my first time to serve as the hall master. I really don't have much preparation in many places, and there are no suitable candidates for immortal girls around me. However, Xingdian has the rules of Xingdian, and everything should be done according to the rules. I heard that the most
It's simple, you can directly recommend two to Magic Steel County Junior College." Lin Haoming responded.
When Mrs. Shen heard this, she immediately sighed and shook her head and said, "Hall Master Lin, if this is the case, I am afraid that Hall Master Lin will be disappointed by then."
"What's wrong?" Lin Haoming asked, pretending not to understand.
Mrs. Shen immediately explained: "Although the Junior Academy has children sent to Haoyuan City from various places, and after being tested and qualified, they will be assigned to various places for various trainings, but the truly outstanding children will definitely be left in Haoyuan City, and they will be assigned
In the county, if you are not from Magic Steel County, your qualifications will not be very outstanding, and Hall Master Lin is already the master of the Foundation Building Hall at a young age, so naturally he is not worthy of ordinary people."
"If not, then I don't know how else to choose someone?" Lin Haoming looked at this person, wondering what she wanted.
