If you are not talented enough, how can you become the best hunter in Yuzhen before you reach the age of the crown

Although there are only more than 1,000 people in the entire Yu Town, and the old and weak women and children have to be added to make up this number, this is still a very proud thing

Although this reason for pride is indeed a bit far-fetched, but aside from these, being able to stand out in the township test and get that test poster can still explain many things

Although the mountain is a remote mountain in the dynasty, the realm is also very wide, and there are many experienced hunters among the people who are assessed in the township examination, as well as many young cultivators in the Daoist Hall, and some of those young cultivators have even reached the middle realm of knowing the truth and touched the edge of the Dao

Being able to stand out under such conditions is enough to prove that although Xu Zi'an is still on the road of cultivation, he actually has enough talent and experience in swordsmanship and combat

............

When he finally finished practicing the knife technique, the clothes on the young man's body were completely soaked without exception, and he couldn't bear to wash off several layers of sweat stains on his body with the clean water he had just made, and changed into a relatively dry clothes, Xu Zi'an collapsed on the old chair again like a dead dog and squinted his eyes to rest

The light is getting warmer, the morning breeze in the mountains is no longer as wet and cold as before, but warmer, there are more and more pedestrians outside the door, and the small courtyard is close to the street, so it sounds very clear

After about three incense sticks, Xu Zi'an opened his eyes again, and his eyes returned to his usual calmness, and he couldn't see any fatigue

This is the case, after the practice, there will be a period of exhaustion, during this period there is no pain in the body, every muscle and bone as if burned by the fire, after this period of time, the feeling of soreness and pain will disappear naturally

Shen Li had told him when the pale cyan aura on the blade could turn into white matter, and this soreness would disappear, but after thinking about it, a subtle layer of light appeared on the tip of his knife, and the young man sighed secretly Sure enough, everything is not easy

Seeing the increasingly thick cooking smoke in the town, the boy began to make a fire to cook porridge, and when the porridge rice was about to bloom in the pot, he sandwiched a plate of soaked sauerkraut from a vegetable jar, and after thinking about it, he fried two eggs very round

It's round like someone's fat face

Thinking of that chubby and shameless face, the young man couldn't help but muttered a few words, went back to the house and pulled out the old book he read under the eaves yesterday, he sat in the peach blossom reading while waiting for Shen Li to come back

When the porridge was slightly cool, the sauerkraut was even more sour, and the omelette was already cold, Shen Li's unique lazy footsteps still didn't sound, so he had to drink a bowl of porridge with half a plate of sauerkraut and eat half an omelette alone

The remaining one and a half fried eggs were naturally reserved for Shen Li

After eating, calculating the remaining time before the convoy departed, the boy suddenly realized that there seemed to be a lot of work to do, and time was inexplicably short

In fact, if you carefully calculate, although the date of entering Beijing and starting for the journey is very close, he actually has nothing particularly important, after successfully persuading Shen Li yesterday, the rest of the thing is nothing more than to pack up his bags and say goodbye before leaving, it is true that there are some reluctant old objects in the old courtyard, but they can't all be moved, at least which peach blossoms have been so hard to float on the branches for many difficult times, and he can't have to take them down and take them away because he is reluctant to leave............

Since it's not these things, it's something else

............

The door opened, the spring breeze blew into the courtyard, and the boy also walked out with the spring breeze

The streets are clean after being washed by the rain, although they are a little messy by the footprints of the mud, how can the wildflowers on the roadside bloom so fresh, although some flowers have a new path to the middle of the street, and they are trampled into mud by passers-by before they are swaying in the spring

How could it be that Wu Laosi, who opened a grocery store next door, had such a bright smile on his bitter gourd face? Could it be that his fierce wife finally relented and agreed to let him take another concubine back? But it's not right, the concubine has nothing to do with him, so why are he smiling at himself? Could it be that he has a flower on his face? Or is it a piece of mud with a unique shape on his body?

The young man who had just come out of the door was furious by Wu Laosi's eyes, looked down at his clothes, and found that the clothes were clean and clean, without those so-called mud with unique shapes, and looked at his face through the copper ring of the old door, and his sideburns were neatly combed, without the so-called flowers, in this case, why did Wu Laosi still smile so brightly at himself?

With confusion, Xu Zi'an raised his head again

But when he looked up again, he saw an even more bizarre scene

On the street, not only Wu Laosi grinned at himself, but one familiar face after another on the road gradually stopped, all looking at himself and making a smile of unknown meaning

There is relief and kindness in this kind of smile, there is joy when the mother-in-law looks at her future son-in-law, and the pride of the old Orion who looks at the apprentice

Immediately after, a shout rang out of nowhere broke the silence

"Ladies and gentlemen, Xu Zi'an's kid is out"

...............

"Hey, I'll just say, I've long seen that your child is extraordinary, worthy of eating your aunt's food for so many years, when are you ready to leave for Beijing to go to the test?

A fat aunt who often delivers porridge and rice to Xu Zi'an pinched the young man's face and rubbed it a few times from time to time, Xu Zi'an, who didn't dare to move, could only let the muscles on his face pull the corners of his mouth and make all kinds of unavoidable expressions

"Hey, what you said is not right, I told this child a long time ago, and I said it before I passed the township test."

Aunt Liu, who had been sewing and mending Xu Zi'an's clothes, hurriedly stepped forward and knocked off the woman's hand, and then held Xu Zi'an's face with both hands, and the more she looked at it, the more proud she became

"Come on, your girls are seventeen years old this year, three years older than our family Zi'an, not at all, Zi'an, you also know the girl of the aunt's family, the appearance of the female painter calligraphy and painting is exquisite, even the gentleman of our private school praised Qiaohui, didn't you say before that you wanted to marry her, our manly husband, you can't regret talking"

Xu Zi'an pulled off the hands that were rubbing his face, pointed to a young man in the crowd who was watching the excitement, and said aggrievedly, "Auntie, that's not what I said, that's what He Dabao said, besides, I'm not an adult, I'm really not a big husband."

The young man named He Dabao looked at Xu Zi'an with grateful eyes, and was about to take this opportunity to quickly curry favor with his future mother-in-law, but he didn't expect to be pushed back to the place by the woman's cold eyes, with a face full of resentment

The commotion came and went, and the laughter of all kinds of women, aunts, and young masters made Xu Zi'an feel a headache, and suddenly missed the cleanliness of the small courtyard behind him, but they were all people who treated themselves very well in the past, and most of them were exhortations and pride in their kindness today, and he couldn't really thin everyone's kindness

This would seem rude

In desperation, Xu Zi'an had no choice but to look at the crowd blankly, and suddenly saw a blooming plum blossom on the head of a little lady who didn't know who else

Xu Zi'an is not a teenager born in this town, but he grew up in this town since he was a child, and he heard from the residents of the town that when he first came to this town, he was just a baby carried by Shen Li

Every time I talked about this time, those women always sighed on their faces, comforting Xu Zi'an and saying that although your life is not good, Shen Li's delicious and lazy lack of virtue is on the stall, but your life is quite big, and it was carried around like a package, and it was miraculously not thrown out

Imagining the scene when Shen Li dragged his lazy steps and shook himself around like luggage, the young man couldn't help but sigh in his heart, thinking that his life was indeed quite big

After that, life was much simpler, relying on the care of the old and young masters in the town, as well as the porridge and rice dishes sent by the aunts and aunts, Xu Zi'an worked hard all the way to feed himself so much, and by the way, he also took care of Shen Li very nourishingly

It can be said that if it weren't for the bowls of porridge and rice dishes that came from someone's stove back then, and the kind thoughts and charity from the hands of the women of whose house, Xu Zi'an really didn't dare to guarantee that he would still be able to live at such a beautiful age by relying on Shen Li

Who said that living in Kyoto is not easy, and living in a small town is also not easy

............

"It's not that you don't say quietly, don't make a noise, you see, you see, how embarrassed you were just now"

Xu Zi'an rubbed his sour face, glanced at a tall young man opposite, and complained loudly

The tall young man looked carefully at Xu Zi'an's face with hidden handprints, and praised him while smiling happily

"You said that Aunt Li's hand strength can be so big, this red seal hasn't been down yet, amazing, amazing"

"Is this a matter of hand strength, is it embarrassing, embarrassing, do you understand?"

looked at his face through the stream, and found that those red marks were estimated to be difficult to dissipate for a while, Xu Zi'an was helpless for a while, so he had to find a relatively clean rock and sit cross-legged first

The tall boy also followed, leaning on Xu Zi'an to squeeze onto the rock that was not wide, and pouted

"Embarrassed?............ You don't know how proud you were smiling."

"I ...... Are you smiling" Xu Zi'an thought for a moment and said uncertainly

"You dare say you're not laughing?"

"I'm sure I'm not laughing"

"Zi'an, I haven't seen you for a few days, why are you so shameless with Shen Lixue......"

The tall young man's name is Lear, and he is one of Xu Zi'an's very good friends, and he was the one who accompanied Xu Zi'an to participate in the township test in Bocheng

They were accompanied by a lean young man with a dark body and a dark complexion, a young man named Xiao Kuroko and a withdrawn personality

Like the relationship between Lear and Xu Zi'an, this cold on the outside but fiery on the inside of the teenager is also their best friend, but not from their town, and the acquaintance between them is also quite interesting, at that time, a few chickens were lost in the town inexplicably, and the sexually lively Lear had to pull Xu Zi'an to investigate together, and along some blood stains and chicken wing bones, they found a swarthy boy gnawing on chicken legs at a corner in the forest

It was probably a short time to share the chicken leg together, and the three teenagers went from acquaintance to acquaintance

Although Xiao Heizi has been silent that night, Xu Zi'an is not very good at words, although there was still some light rain at the time, it was very suitable for fighting and not suitable for conversation, although the words of knowing a chicken always sound awkward

But the three teenagers quickly became friends, and they could make a living

"I don't believe that Heiko's death was an accident," Lear stood up from the rock, looked into Xu Zi'an's eyes, and continued, "I know, you don't believe it either"

"The documents under the government should not be wrong" Xu Zi'an didn't look directly at Lear's eyes, looked down at a crack in the rock, and whispered

Lear continued to stare at Xu Zi'an's wandering gaze, "You really can't lie"

Xu Zi'an's head lowered when he heard this

"There are too many loopholes in the documents under the government, the military department chased and killed the traitor, and inadvertently killed a teenager who happened to pass by, no matter how you hear this, there is a conspiracy"

After a pause, Lear continued

"Let's not talk about how can there be any traitors in our poor countryside, but there really is, how could the little black man happen to pass by? The alley in Xicheng District is remote and cramped, and the little black man will not happen to pass by no matter how he walks, not to mention, the little black man himself is not the kind of person who likes to join in the fun."

Xu Zi'an didn't know what to say, so he had to continue to bow his head and be silent

Seeing the other party's posture, Lear was a little annoyed, and kicked a stone under his feet hard, and the stone made a beautiful splash on the surface of the stream

"You see, a stone can still make a splash when it falls into the water, how can Xiao Heizi die silently like this? And some things are too coincidental, just the day after Xiao Heizi's accident, the person who replaced Xiao Heizi's quota in Beijing appeared, I went to Bocheng to investigate, but the other party hid it very well, and I never knew who it was."

There are more than 100 schools and schools in Kyoto City, and the number of places that can be distributed outside each year seems to be considerable, but after all, it is not only the Great Departure Dynasty that has to be faced, but the entire Tianyan Continent, which not only includes the great nations under the guardianship of the Sword Pavilion, but also the worldly sects such as Xishan Bailu and Qianshan Sect, so the number of places that can be distributed to the various jurisdictions of the dynasty is actually very limited

Because the number of places is scarce and precious, there will be no vacancies and other oolong things in the dynasty, if the student who gets the examination slip cannot enter Beijing to participate in the Yuexi exam due to an accident, he will be replaced by another teenager under his ranking, and so on

But the word accident has always been very particular, and death is a kind of accident, but who can say why he died?

Every year, the imperial court will send officials to each jurisdiction to be responsible for maintaining and supervising the fairness and justice of the township test, but the sun cannot shine to every corner of the earth, let alone the holy light of Zhou Law?

Only those who are lucky enough to see the light can be judged by Zhou Lu, but those who fail to be illuminated by the Holy Light can only become real accidents

The death of Xiao Heizi is undoubtedly an accident that cannot see the light
