Chapter 56 Orion (please read it!)
After Wu Lijun returned to the imperial capital, Li Qing immediately rented a carriage and rushed towards Xiaocuiling in the south with a suit of forged equipment. go.
What he wanted to hunt was a tiger that preyed on humans, not some tiger kept in a zoo just for viewing.
The latter's ferocious nature has been wiped out, while the former is in the deep mountains and old forests. Even if a master of external strength is not careful, he may die in the tiger's mouth.
Spring has been here for a long time, and the snow covering the official road has already melted.
The carriage ran over the gravel on the road, the body bumped, the curtain was half opened, and there was a faint fragrance of flowers coming through.
The person driving the carriage outside was a coachman specially hired by Li Qing, while he himself always closed his eyes and meditated in the carriage, practicing the golden body technique while also being alert to possible accidents around him.
Xiaocuiling is quite far away from Shengtian City. It took about three or four days to drive, and then the voice of the groom came;
"Xiaocuiling is here, it's ahead of us. In Cuishan Village, you can’t get on the carriage, so you can only walk.”
Hearing this, Li Qing stopped practicing the Golden Body Technique. He opened his eyes, and a flash of light slowly disappeared.
"Huh!"
Ever since he discovered the secret that the Golden Body Technique and the Turtle Breath Technique can be practiced at the same time, he has never stopped practicing these two techniques.
Today, the advancement of Golden Body Technique is still slow, but Turtle Breath Technique has made great progress.
The internal strength of the body cannot be said to be strong, but it can already be used in actual combat and can play a considerable role.
Li Qing opened the curtain and looked at the rolling mountains in front of him. He said, "You find a place to park the carriage, and I will go up the mountain myself."
"Okay!" the groom replied smoothly.
The road up the mountain was a little rough, but to Li Qing, this mountain road was nothing. In a moment, he arrived at Cuishan Village steadily.
This is a village built on the foot of a mountain. As the saying goes, relying on the mountain and eating the mountain, most of the villagers inside make a living by hunting.
Many families hang various animal skins and bones at the door, which gives them a sense of primitive scenery.
“Old man, who is the most powerful hunter in your village?”
Li Qing, who was wearing a green shirt, directly found an old man sitting leisurely at the entrance of the village.
This old man's hair is sparse, his face is covered with wrinkles, and his eyes are always squinting.
When Li Qing's voice sounded, he turned his head leisurely and looked at the young man next to him who was obviously not a villager.
"Hey, are you looking for a powerful hunter? Which man in our village is not a top-notch hunter, and he will follow his own family into the mountains!" the old man said with a smile.
“But when it comes to the most powerful Orion, I’ll take second place. Who dares to take first place?”
Before Li Qing could continue to ask, the door of the next door suddenly opened, and then a disdainful old voice came out.
“I’m not ashamed to hear you, old man Sun, bragging in broad daylight. How dare you say that we are the most powerful hunter in our village?”
Another old man came out with a look of contempt on his face. He looked at the old man next to Li Qing.
The old man surnamed Sun was immediately unhappy. He angrily shouted: "Old Wu, what do you mean, do you think you are better at hunting than me?"
"Of course, think back then, in the village, I couldn’t even hunt the head to eat, so I was the only one who caught a wild boar, that’s how it tastes.” Old Wu showed a look of nostalgia.
However, Li Qing was not interested in listening to their continued bickering. These two old men may have been great at hunting when they were young, but now that they are so old, they may not be able to climb mountains anymore.
However, just when he wanted to interrupt the argument between the two, Old Man Sun's next words made Li Qing raise his eyebrows.
"Humph, the wild boar is nothing. I went up to the mountains to hunt tigers. I was so majestic at that time!" Old Man Sun said proudly. Not to be outdone, Old Man Wu retorted: "How dare you bring out your palm-sized tiger? Do you want me to take you to see the bear skin hanging in my house?"
< br>
“That blind bear is definitely much more vicious than your tiger!”
"You fart! Why can a blind bear compare with a tiger?!"
"You just fart, how can a tiger compare to a blind bear?"
Li Li heard the words of these two old men. His blue eyelids were twitching, he was a blind bear and a tiger at the same time. He was indeed an extraordinary hunter when he was young.
"Two old men, I plan to go up the mountain to hunt a tiger. Can you two help recommend a reliable hunter?" Li Qing interrupted their argument.
After all, he still wanted to find someone with good legs and feet. Although the two old men had great hunting records, they were both so old, and it would be troublesome to go up the mountain again.
Upon hearing that Li Qing wanted to go up the mountain to hunt tigers, the two old men turned their heads and looked at Li Qing again and again.
“Young man, tigers are not easy to hunt. A few years ago, there were a few young men from wealthy families who came to the imperial capital and said they wanted to hunt tigers in the mountains. Later, they encountered a wild mountain with rough skin and thick flesh. The pig was knocked upside down and several bones were broken."
"Yes, I advise you to accept this idea."
Li Qing smiled and took out it. He picked up a piece of gold leaf, fiddled with it in his hand, and said, "As long as you can lead me to track the tiger, I will hunt it myself."
Hunt it myself?
When the two old men heard this, their eyes widened at the same time, looking at Li Qing in disbelief.
Old man Sun asked tentatively: "Young man, are you a warrior?"
Li Qing smiled and said nothing, still just flicking the gold leaf in his hand.
The old man surnamed Wu shook his head and said: "Even if you are a master of external strength, if you go up the mountain with bare hands, it will be difficult to defeat the tiger! You are sending yourself to death!"
"When the time comes I will Since I know how to carry armor and weapons up the mountain, how to hunt the tiger is my own business. After finding the tiger, the hunter can leave.”
"After the thing is done, I will only take the tiger bones and tiger whip, I don't want the tiger skin, and I will also give you a sum of money."
The most valuable thing about a tiger is actually its tiger skin. The price was quite high.
In addition, Li Qing will also give an extra amount of silver, which is indeed a heavy reward!
After hearing these conditions, Old Man Sun showed a hesitant look and looked quite troubled.
When another old man Wu saw this, he reminded: "Old Sun, don't you want to go up the mountain yourself, why don't you stop at your age?"
After a long time, Old Man Sun said: "I'm not like you. I have no worries. No one knows if I die alone."
"My grandson was just born, and I want to send him to him in the future." The emperor went to study and didn't want him to continue to be a hunter."
However, Li Qing frowned and said, "My father-in-law, can you still climb the mountain with your legs?"
< br>"Why not? Don't look at me, old man, I'm old, but as soon as I enter the mountain, I feel like I'm back home!" Old man Sun raised his head proudly and continued: "How about young people, if you want to "Old man, I will accompany you to the mountain once. If nothing else, there are really few hunters in the village who are more experienced than me!"
At this time, Old Man Wu did not make any noise. remained silent.
Li Qing's eyes flickered for a while, and then he laughed: "Okay! Deal!"
