In Pianxi City, the streets are actually paved with stone slabs. The city is ancient, with many small squares and various tall buildings.
The ground of the main road is paved with various black and white stones into various patterns. It is said that no other city within a radius of thousands of miles can do this. Such a grand gesture.
However, except for some main roads, the rest of the streets are equally dense and narrow.
Yu Jiansheng took them off the main road and came to an inconspicuous hotel to rest.
Their cart was placed in the shop, but the weapons on it and the white-eyed wolf king skin in the hidden compartment were naturally brought into the room. There were two hunters, Yu Jiansheng and Zheng Haotian, guarding them. Under normal circumstances, there would not be any
A glitch occurs.
"Dad, who are those people at the city gate?"
As soon as everyone entered the hotel room, the impatient Yu Weihua couldn't wait to ask.
Zheng Haotian and Lin Ting also looked over at the same time, both wanting to know the answer.
Yu Jiansheng's eyes changed and he said: "The people on the carriage earlier were the eldest young lady and the young master of the Qiu family in Pianxi City, and the young master later was Li Maolin, the young master of the Li family."
"The Qiu family, is it the Qiu family that Uncle Lin works for?" Yu Weihua continued to ask.
Yu Jiansheng nodded slowly and said: "The Qiu family and the Li family are one of the four most powerful forces in Pianxi City. As long as they stamp their feet, they will tremble for a hundred miles, so you remember,
Never provoke them in the future."
Everyone nodded in confusion, but to be honest, there was an incomparable huge gap between them and young ladies at this level. Even if they wanted to provoke them, it would be absolutely impossible.
"Uncle Yu, that Li Maolin is very good at making light bodies. Is he also a hunter?" Zheng Haotian asked abruptly.
Yu Jiansheng shook his head slightly and said solemnly: "Li Maolin is not a hunter, but a junior hunting king."
Yu Weihua and Lin Ting both gasped. The hunters at the foot of Xionglang Mountain were already considered true masters. In many medium-sized villages, a hunter might not be born.
But above the hunters, there is a higher level of powerful hunter kings.
They are the most powerful humans in the world.
It is said that an outstanding hunting king even possesses incredible strength that can fight against the violent bear king.
That's why they were so shocked when they heard that Li Maolin was actually a hunting king.
"Village Chief, I just saw that you were blocking Haotian. It seemed that you didn't want Li Maolin to see Haotian. I wonder why?" Zheng Chenglian said suddenly.
Zheng Haotian's eyes lit up slightly. It turned out that not only did he notice it, but his father also noticed it.
Yu Jiansheng smiled bitterly and said, "You don't know something. Li Maolin is the proud son of the Li family. He was successfully promoted to hunter when he was thirteen years old. After more than ten years of hard training, he became a hunter in the second grade.
At the age of nineteen, he was successfully promoted to the junior hunting king. Now he is thirty-three years old, and he is expected to be promoted to the intermediate hunting king before he is thirty-five, and he is known as the first among all the younger men in Pianxi City."
Zheng Haotian rubbed his scalp and said, "Uncle Yu, what are you talking about?"
Yu Jiansheng shook his head and said: "This person is extremely talented, and he was born in a big family. He has countless cultivation resources. However, this person is narrow-minded, and there is no one more talented than him." He
After a pause, he said: "Pianxi City has a very wide jurisdiction. The entire Xionglang Mountain is within the sphere of influence of Pianxi City. In the past twenty years, some talented martial arts practitioners have also emerged. However,
Anyone who can be promoted to hunter before the age of thirteen will die without any reason within a few years."
Zheng Chenglian's body trembled and he said, "There are no exceptions?"
"Yes." Yu Jiansheng said slowly: "Only those young hunters who are also from aristocratic families, or who have taken refuge in aristocratic families, can stay safe. If not, hehehe..."
Zheng Haotian exchanged glances with his two companions, and there was a faint hint of fear in their eyes.
No wonder Yu Jiansheng had repeatedly warned not to let Zheng Haotian tell him about his promotion to hunter. It turned out that he still had such concerns.
Yu Jiansheng gently patted Zheng Haotian on the shoulder and said: "Haotian, your talent is the strongest among all the people I know. However, I don't want you to seek refuge with those big families and big forces. Because only if you can
Only by maintaining yourself can you truly go further on the path of martial arts."
Zheng Haotian nodded heavily and said, "Uncle Yu, I understand."
Zheng Chenglian hesitated for a moment and said: "Village chief, are you saying that those martial arts geniuses who died in infancy were killed by people sent by Li Maolin?"
Yu Jiansheng waved his hand and said: "I can't be sure, but the martial arts geniuses who have emerged in the past twenty years have either been absorbed by the four major forces, or died in the process. Hehe, in fact, the four major families were also
Secretly recruiting martial arts geniuses, but since the Li family had an extra Li Maolin, this kind of thing has become blatant. Although it may not be all done by the Li family, he is definitely one of them."
Lin Ting had been silent all this time, and now he suddenly said: "Uncle Yu, you said that Li Maolin is the number one male in the younger generation. Is there a strong young female who can compare with him?"
Yu Jiansheng nodded approvingly and said: "The eldest lady of the Qiu family you just met, it is said that she was already a junior hunter when she was twelve years old the year before last. Such a talent is real...
He suddenly stopped talking, looked at Zheng Haotian and said with a smile: "Haotian, Miss Qiu, like you, was promoted to hunter at the age of twelve. You must work harder in the future, and you cannot let a woman compete with you."
ah."
Zheng Haotian's face turned slightly red and said: "Uncle Yu, my nephew will definitely work hard to live up to your expectations."
Yu Jiansheng laughed loudly and said: "Haotian, I am joking with you, don't take it seriously."
Zheng Haotian's face straightened and he said, "Uncle Yu, I won't let you down."
Yu Jiansheng's laughter stopped, and he sighed softly and said: "Actually, in terms of talent alone, you are no worse than anyone else, but it is a pity that you were not born into a big family, and you are far from capable in terms of cultivation resources.
Compared with the Qiu family, you may be able to catch up with her at the beginning with your talent, but once you reach the later stage, the gap will be irreparable. So, you really don’t need to compare with her."
Zheng Haotian said so, but his eyes were unwavering, clearly not taking Yu Jiansheng's words into his heart.
The old hunter shook his head, but did not elaborate further. Since this boy has this confidence, let him continue to work hard. Maybe one day, when he gives up, he will understand the true cruelty of this world.
However, he didn't know that Zheng Haotian was not arrogant and ignorant, but had his own trump card.
He has made up his mind to hunt bears in the mountains after returning and take bear bile to increase his energy. With this incredible ability, he is confident that he will surpass any opponent.
※※※※
We lived quietly in the inn for two days. On the third day, everyone got up early.
Today is an ordinary day for most people. But for Dalin Village, it is quite important.
Because today is the day when the hunter assessment is held in the Pianxicheng military camp.
Although hunters are far less respected than hunters, and they do not have as powerful aura as hunters. But it is not easy to become a qualified hunter.
Moreover, once you become a hunter recognized by Pianxi City, you will receive great benefits for yourself.
Not only can you enter the city tax-free from now on, but you are also qualified to join the army. Of course, those hunters with development potential will be favored by some aristocratic families. Once someone favors and recruits them, it will be a huge leap for hunters with poor backgrounds.
Great opportunity for Longmen.
Therefore, the title of hunter, which is recognized by Pian Xicheng, is full of temptation for most young people.
When I went out for an assessment today, someone had to stay in the inn. Zheng Chenglian naturally took over the task without hesitation.
Although Carpenter Zheng has never learned martial arts, it is unlikely that any accident will happen in Pianxi City. As long as he stays in the hotel and takes care of the White Eyed Wolf King's skin, it is enough.
The city was very big, so Yu Jiansheng led them around east and west, and finally left the city, went out from the north city, and came to a military camp.
This is a military camp stationed on the outskirts of the city. In normal times, not many people would dare to approach it. But it was different today. It was just dawn, and hundreds of strong men had already gathered here.
These men range in age, the older ones are at least thirty, and the younger ones are around twenty.
When Zheng Haotian appeared here, he immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Most people who want to become hunters are over 18 years old. Yu Weihua and Lin Ting are both fifteen or sixteen years old this year, and they look just like that at first glance. But the twelve-year-old Zheng Haotian's young face is very special here.
Dazzling, anyone can see that he is definitely not eighteen years old.
However, although everyone looked at him with suspicion, no one came up to ask. Instead, they frequently turned their attention to the thick mace that Zheng Haotian was carrying.
Among the people here, not all are here for the assessment, and there are also accompanying people such as Yu Jiansheng.
The eyesight of these escorts was much better than ordinary people, and when they saw this stick, they felt very excited.
Yu Jiansheng shook his head and smiled bitterly. Unexpectedly, Zheng Haotian had already become so eye-catching before the assessment started.
