Chapter 12: The First Task
Blacksmith Yang's knife is just an imitation of an ordinary standard long knife, which is very rough forged, and there are subtle potholes and pits on the surface.
For Shen Xiu, it's okay to be a novice knife.
In the courtyard of the martial arts hall, he quickly adapted to the weight of the big knife, and when he danced, the sword light was shining, and the cold light was pressing, and he already had a bit of a fierce aura.
In the last few days, Shen Xiu adjusted his mental state to the best and got up and rushed to the Foreign Affairs Hall of the Golden Rainbow Martial Arts Pavilion.
On weekdays, the official disciples in the martial arts hall take over the tasks in this place.
At this time, countless formal disciples came in and out here.
Shen Xiu could see that on one of the walls, there were countless wooden signs hanging on the ground, and the wooden cards were densely packed with small characters, marking mission information one by one.
These tasks are prepared separately for disciples who have already completed the three assigned tasks.
The Golden Rainbow Martial Arts Pavilion has a lower limit, but not an upper limit, if a disciple wants to receive it, as long as he can ensure that he can complete it.
After all, the more tasks a disciple completes, the more benefits he will make in the martial arts hall.
As a regular disciple, the first three times a month are required to go to the counter to collect them.
"What's going on?"
Behind the counter, a young female housekeeper was looking at a novel with her head down, and she didn't raise her head when she heard the footsteps, but just asked lightly.
"I'm here to pick up three missions in the museum."
The housekeeper muttered and flipped down the notebook, looked up, but was stunned, showed off her mouth, and then gasped.
Hiss~
The boy looked at it.
It's really pretty.
At the end is a sword eyebrow starry eye, and the eyes are as deep as the sea!
Look again.
Heroic and imposing!
She has seen a lot of formal disciples in the martial arts hall, fat and thin, old and young, most of them are some men with rough and muscular personalities, but she has never seen such a good-looking one.
At this moment, the lonely female steward who had been rolling and crawling in the Jinhong Martial Arts Hall for several years had her eyebrows raised and smiled.
"This junior disciple has just been promoted to a full-fledged disciple, isn't this the first time I've come to take on a new disciple mission? Then give me your token, and I'll register you for a task. ”
Seeing the completely different attitudes of this female steward before and after, Shen Xiu felt helpless.
I can only sigh that appearance is justice, but this efficiency has indeed improved a lot, and it is still a bit beneficial to think about it.
Shen Xiu nodded, "It's the first time I've come here." ”
As he spoke, he took out the token from his waist and handed it to the housekeeper.
"Where's the little junior brother? Was it promoted from a registered disciple? I haven't seen it before, but now I'm a formal disciple, so I'll have to work harder in the future. ”
The housekeeper was not very old, and while receiving the token registration information, she kept asking questions.
After registering, she turned around and took out a piece of parchment from a drawer and handed it to him, and finally did not forget to ask him how old he was, whether he was married?
Shen Xiu broke out in cold sweat on his forehead and answered them one by one.
However, after the steward heard the news of his promotion from a miscellaneous disciple, he clearly felt a slight loss in the steward's tone.
Shen Xiu was flawless and estimated the others, and opened the parchment given to him by the housekeeper.
The owner of Lijiazhuang in Guiyan Town said that there seemed to be a big wild boar near his medicine field, which caused a lot of losses to the manor's medicine field industry.
After many times of blocking to no avail.
Therefore, he threw this task into the Jinhong Martial Arts Pavilion in Taixi City, hoping that the disciples of the Martial Arts Pavilion could find the traces of the wild boar and kill it.
……
On this parchment was written a similar message, and the ten taels of silver that were mentioned.
However, Shen Xiu looked at it, and his brows were slightly furrowed.
Such a big Zhuangzi can't be handled by a wild boar, which feels a bit strange no matter how you look at it.
As if seeing Shen Xiu's doubts, the housekeeper next to him said with a smile.
"Don't underestimate this wild boar, through some information from Lijiazhuang's side, it should be very likely to be contaminated with demonic mutations."
Looking at this information, Shen Xiu was somewhat clear.
A huge Zhuangzi must not lack strong men and experienced hunters.
So many people have not been able to hunt wild boars, and wild boars must be a bit unusual.
"Then thank you for reminding me."
Before leaving, Shen Xiu didn't forget to thank him, this female steward had also been a disciple in the hall before, so he took the opportunity to call the little senior sister.
When the housekeeper heard this, she immediately smiled.
Seeing Shen Xiu leaving, the housekeeper still stared at his figure blankly until she finally disappeared.
Only then did a sigh come out.
"It's polite and good-looking, it's a pity, it's a pity that I'm a little younger, and I'm still promoted from a miscellaneous disciple......"
Seeing this disciple, in that short period of time, she even thought of the name of their child, but the other party was promoted by a miscellaneous disciple.
What does the miscellaneous disciple represent, it represents this path that only people who have no money and no way out will take.
Those registered disciples who spent money to come in to learn martial arts, often for a few months and a year, which family did not have a little windfall.
After receiving the task, returning to the courtyard to prepare the weapons and armor, Shen Xiu left the martial arts hall and went out of Taixi City all the way to the east.
Continuing to the east, he drove more than 20 kilometers, and soon arrived at Guiyan Town, found Lijiazhuang in the town, explained his identity, and immediately someone welcomed him in.
It was the owner of Lijiazhuang, a middle-aged man who was not tall, slightly chubby, and had dark skin.
Seeing Shen Xiu, who was wearing the costume of a disciple of the Golden Rainbow Martial Arts Pavilion, he greeted him with a smile on his face.
"But the brother of the Jinhong Martial Arts Pavilion, Li Yongnian, the owner of the Lower Li Jiazhuang, I have prepared wine and good food, and I ask this brother to rest for a while."
Shen Xiu understood that the other party was so polite, and he still relied on the skin of the Golden Rainbow Martial Arts Pavilion on his body.
After eating some things simply, Shen Xiu began to communicate with the steward of the village and a few men who had seen the traces of the wild boar about the strange wild boar.
Through some simple communication, Shen Xiu learned that this mutant wild boar should have fallen from the nearby mountain peaks and wild forests a few days ago.
Now in Panheng near Lijiazhuang for several days, he couldn't find food, and he began to plague the medicinal herbs and herbs in Lijiazhuang's medicinal field.
The end is not a small loss.
The people of Lijiazhuang were not without looking for a way, and they had hired a few hunters and a few majestic men to hunt the wild boar.
It's just that the ending is a bit unexpected, the wild boar has unusually rough skin and thick meat, and it didn't hunt it until it hurt two people.
Traps or something, all methods have been used, and sometimes the boar will fall into the trap, but it will always let it escape.
If there is a strong player, then it should be able to keep it, but it is a pity that he has two good hands in the forging realm, and not long ago he was arranged to go to Shanglin City to deliver medicine.
But it's not something that will come back anytime soon.
After having no other way, Master Li Zhuang could only contact the Jinhong Martial Arts Pavilion in Taixi City.
"When does this wild boar usually appear?"
Observing the traces left by the wild boar in the field, Shen Xiu turned his head to look at the sturdy man next to him and asked.
This sturdy man, who was also one of the people who participated in the hunt for the wild boar, had seen the guy with his own eyes.
"This wild boar rarely appears during the day, and usually comes every once in a while after dark."
The sturdy man first recalled, and then said.
"Then we'll come back after dark."
Shen Xiu threw away the soil in his hand and made a decision.
