Chapter 196: The Hunter King
There are three famous mountain ranges in the world, which surround the entire dynasty in the middle, like a basin, of which Lianshan is the smallest of the three mountain ranges, and the least well-known.
Not far from the back of the capital, there is a seemingly boundless mountain range, and no one still knows what is behind it, because it seems to be the origin and boundary of the world, so it is named Tianyuan Mountain.
There are many fierce beasts in the mountain, jackals, tigers and leopards are often seen, so there are naturally many hunters who live by hunting under the mountain, and they are passed down from generation to generation, among which the hunter king "Zhao Zhe" is the head.
"Zhao Zhe" is not only a name, but also represents a kind of inheritance.
Legend has it that 400 years ago, a young man came out of Tianyuan Mountain, born very thick and burly, who could fight tigers and bears with his bare hands, and lived in Xiqiao Town outside the mountain, and went around the surrounding villages to find experienced old hunters to learn hunting skills.
But the hunting craft is the one who eats at the Orion family, and the stricter ones don't even pass on to their daughters, so how can they pass it on to an outsider for no reason. The road to education for young people has hit walls everywhere, but what they have learned is only scratching the surface.
A discerning person saw that he was sincere in his quest for knowledge, so he pointed out a clear path and told him to go to a small village close to the foot of Tianyuan Mountain, where there was a hunter who was famous for a hundred miles when he was young, but unfortunately his body was frozen in a certain winter, and he could no longer enter the mountain, and he only had a daughter under his knees, and he might teach his skills to outsiders.
When the young man heard the news, he hurried to the village, but neither the old hunter nor his daughter looked down on him, and only taught him his skills to another handsome young man in the village, which was only difficult for him.
Young people have tenacity in their hearts, and they recognize something without hitting the south wall and not looking back, which may be called persistence or stupidity. He saw that the old hunter was really capable, so he simply stayed in the village, let the tricks and insults every day, and still went to the door to grind, and in this way two years passed.
At that time, the gray wolves on the periphery of Tianyuan Mountain would go out of the mountain to attack the surrounding villages every winter when they had little food, and they would eat countless people. That year, there was a heavy snow that had not been seen in ten years, and the gray wolves in the mountains were so hungry that they panicked, and under the command of the wolf king, they went to attack the small village on the edge where the young man was located.
A hundred years of talk about by the surrounding hunters in later generations happened, and a young man who was learning how to make traps in the village stepped forward, and after repelling the wolves, chased him for more than ten miles in the snowy night, and cut off three hunting knives.
In the early morning of the second day, every short distance outside the village, you can see the gray wolf corpse and a large piece of Yin Hong's blood in the white snow, the young man is covered with scars, carrying the corpse of the wolf king who was killed by a fist, and standing at the gate of the village with the smell of blood in his mouth.
After this battle, the wolves, which had lost nearly twenty gray wolves, including the wolf king, collapsed and never attacked the village below the mountain again.
The old hunter was very moved, accepted him as a righteous son, and the people in the village also pooled money to ask the scholars in the town to give the young man a name, and the half-hung scholar wrote two "auspicious" in the name of auspiciousness, which was the first generation of "Zhao Zhe".
Later, the old hunter died, and Zhao Zhe married his daughter and inherited the hunting bow and iron clip. After that, hunting in the mountains is even better than the blue, and he never returns empty-handed every time, and unlike others who only catch pheasants, mountain rabbits, and elk, Zhao Zhe can hunt fierce beasts every time, and his reputation spreads farther and farther.
After many years like this, Zhao Zhe has no heirs, which has become a defect in the eyes of outsiders. After his wife suddenly fell ill and died one night, Zhao Zhe, who had been regarded as the king of hunters, suddenly announced publicly that his life span had almost come to an end, and he wanted to accept a righteous son and pass on his skills and divine power through ancestral secret techniques.
Many young people came to the village famously, and finally Zhao Zhe selected a young man with a similar appearance and posture to himself, and accepted him as a righteous son under the witness of his father and brought him into the mountains.
A year later, a young man who looked a little like Zhao Zhe walked out of the mountains with a dead tiger on his back.
Under the identification of the old people in the village, this is the righteous son that Zhao Zhe accepted last year.
According to what he said, Zhao Zhe took him into the mountain last year, went to a very deep place, and chose a very steep mountain peak as the burial place of the hunter kings of the past dynasties, and then passed away after passing on his divine power and experience with secret methods.
As for the tiger on his shoulder, it is Zhao Zhe's test, the person who can come out of the depths of Tianyuan Mountain and hunt a fierce beast will not disgrace the name of the Hunter King.
People are a little skeptical, but after several hunts, this young man's strength is better than that of Zhao Zhe back then, so everyone acquiesced to the name of his new generation of hunter king.
Because of the habits that the people in the village have developed for decades, they often call the young man who looks somewhat similar as Zhao Zhe, and after that, the young man simply abandoned the original number of names and existed in the world under the name of Zhao Zhe, which is the second generation of "Zhao Zhe".
The second generation of Zhao Zhe never married, and when he was sixty years old, he also openly recruited his son and brought him into the mountain, so the name "Hunter King - Zhao Zhe" has been passed down from generation to generation until today.
These Zhao Zhe's appearances are somewhat similar, but they are not the same, but the habits are very similar, and they always seem to be the same person from generation to generation. Especially hates the beasts in the mountains, and every generation of Zhao Zhe is interested in abusing and killing beasts, among which bears are the leader.
Two hundred years ago, the people in the village gradually had bad speculations, and some doubts and fears of Zhao Zhe, who looked weird, no longer had any children willing to go to his house to be a righteous son.
In the winter of that year, an avalanche occurred in the mountains, and no one in the village survived except for Zhao Zhe, who went out to travel. Years later, Zhao Zhe returned with a child who looked similar to himself, and built a few huts on the ruins.
Until the fox demon troubled the dynasty, the saint was furious and recruited hunters from all over the world, and some people mentioned the hunter king Zhao Zhe who left a legend for hundreds of years, and pointed out that Zhao Zhe had hunted beasts far larger than ordinary animals in the past dynasties, and now I think that those are likely to be monsters.
The emperor was very interested, and sent a holy decree and Shang Fang's sword, ordering him to go to Lianshan to get rid of the fox demon as much as possible, and there was no follow-up army to guide the way.
It wasn't until Qin Cha led a young man into Beijing that the world knew that this generation of hunter Wang Zhao Zhe had received five righteous sons, each of whom had miraculous powers, and it was his five sons who entered Beijing to return to life, and it was also the most beloved one, as for the hunter king and the remaining four sons, they had already received the order to set off to hunt the three foxes who escaped from the capital.
......
In the small temple at the head of the village, Bai Ze put down the long letter.
It seems that it was last night that showed his wrist and had an effect, and the pimple face was completely on his side, and while clearly agreeing to persuade Guo Sheng, he also picked up the bottom of the Hunter King, which combined with the information of the villagers near Tianyuan Mountain, and introduced their appearance, what they were good at, the time they had come to the vicinity of Lianshan, and the process of the follow-up officers and soldiers, and the sale was quite thorough.
However, most of this information is attached to "legends" and "speculations", which can only be used as a reference, but cannot be trusted. Bai Ze handed the letter to the little fox who was waiting anxiously, and looked through the window at the gloomy weather in the depths of the mountains.
"The little fox witnessed them enter the mountain yesterday, combined with what the letter said, Zhao Zhe may not just want to catch the three fleeing foxes at all, but want to wipe out the entire Lianshan Fox Demon with his own strength!"
Although Lianshan couldn't see anything unusual in the distance, in his eyes, the war between hunters and prey had begun.
