14. A business of support

Of course, Yan Li can hide in a tree, but once he is discovered, the nature is completely different.

He said aloud: "Whether it is a friend or not depends on the attitude of the seniors." ”

The two sides looked at each other and stood still.

The owner of the old voice was a young old man in his sixties, with gray temples, a weather-soaked face, and deep sunken eye sockets full of wrinkles.

This man is a first-class martial artist.

Yan Li can't figure out the second or third grade or the cultivation of the truth, and the only martial artist recognizes the most accurate. But now is different from the past, and Yipin Wufu is no longer a strong person in his eyes.

In addition to the little old man, there were three young men, two men and one woman.

The two men are about the same age, they are both about twenty-seven or eighteen, and they are wearing strong suits that are easy to move, which is similar to that on Yan Li's body, but the fabrics are different, and they are obviously a lot more expensive. A Chinese face looks resolute, and a horse face is a little gloomy.

The woman was about twenty-two or three, wearing a short blue cardigan skirt that was easy to move around, with a knee-length skirt and a pair of crimson boots. She has a gorgeous goose egg face, slightly thick eyebrows, but the bridge of the nose is high, the lips are arched, and the lip beads are obvious, and the overall appearance is gaudy and vulgar.

"Although the hunting ground is a hunting ground for cultivators, it is dangerous and unpredictable, and it is fate to meet it. The little old man bowed his hand slightly, "The old man Feng Kaishan, entrusted by others, came to hunt the wings of the ghost head bee." ”

This was a statement, and it was clear that he did not want to add unnecessary fighting.

"In Xia Yanli. Yan Li returned the favor with a smile.

"It turned out to be Yan Gongzi," the woman's beautiful eyes showed brilliance, "My name is Liu Ying, I belong to the Heavenly Eagle Pavilion, and I have grown in knowledge with Feng's predecessors." Could it be that Yan Gongzi came alone?"

Yan Li was about to speak, when the horse-faced man immediately sneered: "I have been in Huajiang City for so many years, and I have only seen one person enter the dangerous hunting ground alone, and that is our Pavilion Master Sky Eagle. Xiao Ying, you look at him like that, he must have gone through a fierce battle, and I guess he was separated from his headhunter. ”

Liu Ying's eyes showed a look of disappointment.

The man with the face of the national character said in a round field: "My name is Yang Kaitai, he is Li San, and the three of us are all members of the Sky Eagle Pavilion. If Brother Yan doesn't mind, you can join our hunting group to act together, as long as Brother Yan contributes, the remuneration will naturally have your share. ”

Yan Li's heart moved, and he just took the opportunity to inquire with them, so he said: "Actually, it's like this, I'm a scattered person who just came out of Jishui County and was about to participate in the hunting group to earn a reward. ”

The dock porter has a hired head, and the hunting group has a headhunter. The headhunter gathers various porters under his hands, but the headhunter is different, he takes the commission from the employer, and then temporarily summons the cultivators to organize the hunting group to complete the commission. The two have one thing in common, that is, only people of high moral standing are eligible to get the certificate. You must know that in the laws of the Dragon Emperor Holy Dynasty, if you do not have a certificate, you will be condemned to do headhunting.

The hunting group is a temporary organizational form, and if it becomes a fixed form, it will become a gang, and the Sky Eagle Pavilion is a gang. Almost all gangs are formed by hunting groups.

"Then Brother Yan is really a person?" Yang Kaitai said in surprise.

"The Ghost Forest is notoriously dangerous. Liu Ying covered her mouth and exclaimed.

"Hmph!" Li San's face was a little ugly, "It's just luck." ”

Yan Li glanced at him and said with a faint smile: "It's really luck, I met a ghost bee, but I was killed by someone, and two or three fish that slipped through the net made me become this miserable situation." ”

Feng Kaishan said keenly: "You mean, there is the corpse of the ghost head bee in front of you?"

"That's right. Yan Lidao.

Feng Kaishan stroked his palms in surprise: "Little Brother Yan is really our lucky star. All keep up with the decay. ”

With that, he rushed out first.

Everyone followed him to the previous battlefield, only to see the corpses of the ghost bees all over the ground, and they all showed surprised smiles.

"Wait!" Feng Kaishan suddenly shouted in a low voice.

"What's wrong with the seniors?" Liu Ying tensed.

Feng Kaishan carefully observed the corpses all over the ground and said, "You see how they die, most of them are killed with one blow. The ghosthead bee has natural armor on its body, and only the top swordsman can accurately hit the ghost's weakness. ”

Yan Li looked dazed, do you have armor?

Yang Kaitai was shocked and said: "Among the headhunters in Huajiang City, only our pavilion master can do it, and the pavilion master has been in retreat recently, could it be that there are new masters in Huajiang City?"

Feng Kaishan shook his head and said, "The fireworks festival is coming, it's not strange for masters to gather here, before the next wave of ghost heads gathers over, hurry up and clean up!"

More than half an hour later, Feng Kaishan carried a large bundle of ghost-headed bee wings on his back, and led everyone to find a dry place with a mountain behind him and set up camp.

"Old Feng, why don't you go back directly, isn't the mission completed?" Li San said puzzled.

Feng Kaishan said with a smile: "The opportunity is rare, the ghost head bee has been wiped out of a nest, the newly replenished ones, the number will not be much, we will rest here until dawn, and then go back to kill a wave, and we can easily earn a fortune." ”

Then they set up camp, gathered firewood, and boiled a pot of broth, which was bacon brought from the city, and which did not need any spices, and could be fragrant. Yan Li also got a piece of the pie.

After the hot soup was served, the conversation came up, Feng Kaishan said with a smile: "Little Brother Yan is from Jishui County?"

Yan Li said with a smile: "It's not a secret, I lived in the mountains when I was a child, and it was the first time I went to Jishui County, and I met a hired head, who introduced me to Huajiang City." ”

Feng Kaishan said: "I see. I was also a hired head in my early years, but later I realized that I had a talent for cultivation......"

Speaking of this, he laughed at himself, "I thought I was superior to others, and I plunged into the cultivation world, only to find out that you can't become a master with just a mouthful of blood." The most important thing in practice is the true name, character, and method, the former is the inheritance of the teacher, and the latter determines the achievement. My real name is the sixth rank, and there is no sect willing to accept me at all, so it took me seven years to save up money to buy an introductory exercise, and it took me forty years to cultivate to a first-class martial artist. Looking back on the past now, most of my life is really called a grievance, it is better to hire a chic, alas......"

Liu Ying comforted: "The seniors' income is not lower than that of the hired head of the big wharf now, so why bother to be arrogant." ”

Feng Kaishan shook his head and said, "Headhunters hang their heads on their waists, and what they earn is hard-earned money, which cannot be compared. ”

Yan Li said: "I just came down from the mountain and don't understand anything, can Elder Feng tell me about the cultivation world?"

Feng Kaishan said briskly: "Anyway, there is plenty of time, so I'll talk about it." ”

Next, Yan Li roughly understood his own situation from Feng Kaishankou.

Of the eight realms of the human world, in addition to the giant deer realm, each has a giant entrenched. Under the giants is the official government subordinate to the Dragon Emperor Holy Dynasty, in each state capital set up a "Shuntian Mansion", set up a prefect, and a number of protectors, but all cultivators must go to the "Shuntian Mansion" to register their names to show their submission to the Holy Dynasty. Under the government, there are major gangs.

Huajiang City, where he is now located, is a medium-sized state capital in the Northern Tang Realm, and the entire territory of the Northern Tang Dynasty is actually controlled by the Tang Sect, a great family, and controls the lifeblood of cultivators in the whole realm, that is, the operation of hunting grounds, treasure pavilions, and so on.

There are two gangs in Huajiang City, which belong to the head snake, one is the Longhe Gang, the other is the Eagle Pavilion, and the other is like the Cao Gang Rudder, the Mid-Mountain Wine House, the Tiance Mansion, etc., all belong to the Jiangjiang Dragon.

But whether it is the head snake or the dragon crossing the river, the real overlord of Huajiang City has someone else, that is, King Lu. Lu Wang Ji Changzhi is the thirteenth brother of the Holy Emperor, and there are very few princes who have been crowned kings in the entire Dragon Emperor Holy Dynasty, and King Lu can not only be crowned king, but also have his own fiefdom, and his energy cannot be underestimated.

Other than that, there are two hunting grounds.

This ghost forest belongs to a low-level hunting ground, and the periphery is a ghost with no intelligence, that is, the ghost fire that Yan Li found when he first came in, and then there is the territory of various monsters, the ghost head bee is only a medium-level monster in the ghost forest, and the real top monsters are man-eating grass and frost wolf.

The Dark Bat Forest belongs to the high-level hunting ground, and the monsters inside are even more terrifying, If the employer's target is in the Dark Bat Forest, then at least three hired leaders must gather a hunting group of more than thirty people before they dare to venture in.

Yan Li now knew that Starfall Beasts were also divided into types. Spirits such as ghosts are made of pure energy and are innate, while those like ghost-headed bees are acquired. So when they die, one of them turns into smoke, and the other can leave a corpse.

After listening to Feng Kaitian's story, Yan Li also understood the origin of Father Wang's attitude towards cultivators. To put it bluntly, a cultivator is a business of support, and it has nothing to do with honor, superiority, and the like, and there is no essential difference between a headhunter, a hired head, a shopkeeper, a porter, a cart puller, and so on.

The reason is clear to him. Just one Huajiang City, the power is so complicated, layer after layer, one pressing the other, as a scattered person, as a person at the bottom of the cultivation world, there is no extraordinary strength, except for killing a starfall beast, what is the use?

Cultivators are probably arrogant, after all, they have real names that ordinary people don't have, and most of them have read books, so letting them do things like picking up dung and pulling carts is more uncomfortable than killing them, so the value of the hunting ground is infinitely magnified, because too many people rely on it for food.

Outside the hunting ground, what Treasure Pavilion, Tiance Mansion, Yaowang Academy, and the official mansion were exploited layer by layer, and in the end, there were very few that were really left for the cultivation of the scattered people.

At this point, the cultivators of Shenzhou are much better than them. Once you become a cultivator, first of all, you can rely on the rich and noble family, and become a first-class person in the nursing home, others know that you are a cultivator, first of all, you are a little shorter, you don't need to fight, it is enough to show your identity, pampered and take money for nothing, there is no more chic way to live.

When you come to the Yanfu world, don't even think about that kind of day.

In the end, Yan Li found an excuse to leave the camp, found a hidden bush, and was about to recover a little, when he suddenly heard a light footstep approaching, he stopped his movements, squinted slightly, and said, "Miss Liu doesn't go to rest, what are you doing with Yan?"
