On the way, Lu Kun chatted a lot with the old man. He talked nonsense about the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. The old man listened with great interest and also revealed a lot of information to Lu Kun.
There are a large number of humans living in this world, and the country they live in is called Wei State. However, Wei State is completely different from the ancient kingdom Lu Kun imagined. Although it has the name of a country, it does not have a ruling dynasty.
It is divided into several major states, and each state is dotted with many cities.
Each city is managed by one or several warrior gangs. Lu Kun did not ask about the warriors in detail, but from the words of the old hunter, he knew that the individual combat capabilities of these warriors were astonishing.
The old hunter's seemingly powerful archery skills were just a superficial knowledge of some archery skills. According to what he said, the opponent's level of archery skills was close to that of a third-rate peak warrior, and there were second-rate, first-rate and super first-rate warriors above.
Cities in the Wei Kingdom are ruled by gangs composed of these powerful warriors. However, no matter how powerful the gang is, they can only rule three cities, and no more will be able to expand.
Because the official roads between each city are rugged and wide, communication between cities is difficult. According to the old hunter, he has never left the sphere of influence of Huayuan City in his entire life.
The definition of official road is beyond Lu Kun's understanding. It does not refer to mountain roads, but to areas where there is no danger to the human race, or where dangers can be solved by warriors. The areas included may be mountains and rivers, or areas.
plain basin.
As for unofficial places, they are full of all kinds of incredible dangers.
In some places, strange lights will appear, which can easily kill warriors. There are also many terrifying beasts that even top-notch warriors cannot deal with. In some mountains and rivers, there will be endless fog, and if you go in, you will be trapped inside forever.
The Luyang Mountains where he is located is already on the edge of the official path. If he goes a little further, he may encounter dangers that even powerful warriors cannot face.
…
Lu Kun followed the old hunter and climbed half the mountain, and finally came to a village located at the foot of the mountain.
This place was much more refined than he imagined. There were no thatched houses, but houses made of regular stones. The ground was paved with stone roads. Every house had a courtyard of hundreds of square meters, and many fat poultry were raised in it.
Many peasant women were chatting at the door, while some men were drying some unknown plants on the roof. After everyone saw the old hunter, they all looked over.
"Lao Zhang came back from hunting, ah, there are so many wolf skins..."
"Which family does this brother next to him belong to? He looks really strong. Is he a disciple of the Iron Fist Sect?"
"It must be true. How can any young man in our village have such a strong body?"
The villagers chatted away, and some bold village girls looked directly at Lu Kun's muscular body.
"I was lucky enough to meet a small wolf pack."
"Haha, he's a friend of my son's who happened to be passing by here."
"Girl Wang, stop drooling, your son is running all over the floor."
The old hunter took Lu Kun into the village and greeted the people around him with a smile. Lu Kun had been taken care of by him, but he didn't speak at this time. He smiled stupidly and nodded with the others.
After passing through two gravel roads in the village, the two came to the door of a courtyard. When the old hunter opened the door, Lu Kun found that there were no poultry in the yard, but several archery targets standing there.
"Come in, you have been sleeping in the mountains and forests for a long time. Come, take out those two fish and make a good meal. They are sturgeons. They can only be found in mountain streams, but no one dares to go to the official road.
Edge fishing.”
Lu Kun picked up the two fish and handed them to the old hunter in front of him.
But at this moment, the familiar feeling of dizziness came again, and this time it was even more serious. He felt his eyes darken and fell to the ground with a plop, but the throbbing pain in his arm did not appear before.
.
"Lu Kun, you..."
Lu Kun shook his head, stood up slowly, and said with a wry smile: "There is not enough food in the mountains, and I have to fight with wild wolves, so my body is a little weak."
The old hunter looked at Lu Kun's appearance carefully, then reached out and grabbed his wrist. Lu Kun then felt a warm current pouring into him.
The old hunter frowned and said, "It's strange. The scene just now was a scene of loss of qi and blood, but the qi and blood in your body are extremely strong, how could you faint?"
Lu Kun felt the warm current leave his wrist and became more curious about the martial arts in this world. However, he didn't ask any more questions and replied: "Maybe he slept in the mountains for a few days and ate too little..."
"That's true. Even the strongest warrior can't go without eating for a long time. Come on, I'll show you my cooking skills."
The old hunter didn't take Lu Kun's fainting to heart, thinking that he was hungry, so he greeted him and walked into the kitchen next to the courtyard, where there were all kinds of pots and pans.
Lu Kun paid attention to eating habits and had some research on cooking. The old hunter was even more experienced. With the busy work of the two of them, and some ingredients from the kitchen, they quickly made three dishes, one soup, and a jar of old wine.
In the process of cooking, Lu Kun was even more surprised by the world.
The eating habits here seem to be the same as those in China, with rice and rice, and even the tableware is bowls and chopsticks. In Lu Kun's opinion, this village is not like the ancient mountain villages, and there is no food shortage at all.
The old hunter picked up a chopstick of fish meat and let the fragrant taste fill his mouth. He narrowed his eyes in comfort, raised his bowl and took a sip of wine and said: "Little brother, compared with the villages of Jin State, we
How is the village?"
Lu Kun put a piece of triangular vegetable leaf into his mouth, feeling the fragrance lingering in his mouth, and sighed: "We...in Jin State, the villages in the mountains are very poor, and many people cannot eat enough every day."
"Moreover, most of the men have been conscripted into the army. The remaining old, weak, women and children have difficulty farming, the grain harvest is very low, and it is difficult to survive."
When the old hunter heard this, he sighed and said: "It is said that the land in Jin is barren. It seems true. Our village is on the edge of officialdom. The land is extremely fertile and the grain yield is very high. Even the poultry is extremely fat."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Lu Kun said a little puzzled: "Well, old man, isn't the edge of the official road very dangerous? The land is very fertile?"
The old hunter picked out a piece of translucent meat from the fish head, put it into his mouth, squinted his eyes and said: "The edge of the official road, to be precise, is the area where you were found. As for us, it's just close."
"Over the years, everyone has discovered that as long as they are within the official road, even if they are close to the edge, there is not much danger because the land is fertile and many villages are built in locations similar to ours."
"The land is fertile and it is truly a paradise..."
"Taoyuan?"
"Oh, it's a place that is isolated from the world and lives comfortably. The words commonly used by storytellers there seem to come from a story."
The old man raised his eyebrows: "It seems that there are many legends in the Jin Kingdom, but my village is not a paradise. It is not a troubled time, but it is not peaceful either."
"When you come here, you should see a lot of hunter guards."
Lu Kun ate a piece of fish, bit the shredded meat stuck to his chopsticks and said, "Well, there are a few hunters carrying bows and arrows at the two sentry posts at the entrance of the village."
The old hunter said: "They are all outer disciples of the Iron Fist Sect. Their strength is close to mine. They are protected by the warrior sect, so those mountain bandits dare not come here to act recklessly. The same goes for wild beasts, so the village can be so prosperous."
"Iron Fist Gate?"
Lu Kun asked curiously: "Is it the warrior force that controls Huayuan City?"
"Yes, these farming techniques of mine are all taught by the Iron Fist Sect, and..."
Halfway through his words, the old hunter suddenly fell silent, put down his chopsticks, raised his head and said slowly: "Lu Kun, although you don't know martial arts, you were once the instructor of the Jin army. With my recommendation, you should be able to enter the Iron Fist Sect."
"Now that we have come to the Wei Kingdom, we have to find a job. What physical training methods you mentioned for the Jin Army? The elders and heads of the Iron Fist Sect will definitely be interested in joining the Iron Fist Sect. Basically, they will not have to worry about food and drink."
"Little girls from ten villages and eight villages are vying to marry a disciple of the Iron Fist Sect."
Lu Kun chewed a piece of chicken, feeling quite moved in his heart. It was not because of the little girl, but because he was very angry about the martial arts in this world. More importantly, this world seemed extremely dangerous.
Within the scope of officialdom, this Uncle Zhang alone has such sharp archery skills, and he is still only a third-rate warrior. The second-rate, first-rate, and super first-rate warriors are definitely existences that he cannot compete with.
Not to mention outside the official realm, it is difficult for even a top-class warrior to survive, let alone him, so relying on a force like the Iron Fist Sect is currently the best choice.
On the way before, in addition to answering the old hunter's questions, he also revealed his identity as a coach of the Jin army, responsible for the physical training of soldiers.
He combined military scenes from ancient TV series with his own modern training, plus some special body movement skills, which convinced the old hunter.
Lu Kun pondered for a moment and said, "But Uncle Zhang, Lu is a foreigner. I'm afraid the sect that rules the city is not willing to accept a foreigner."
Uncle Zhang laughed loudly and said: "If you are from other cities in the Wei State, it is naturally impossible to enter the Iron Fist Gate, but you come from the distant Jin State, so you will not have such worries at all."
"Coupled with the recommendation of me, an old guy who has been in the Iron Fist Sect for a while, it will not be a problem to enter the sect. Moreover, the beginning of next month will be the time for the Iron Fist Sect to accept disciples. If you miss it, you will have to wait another ten years."
Lu Kun was thinking about it and suddenly noticed that the old hunter had a somewhat expectant look on his face. He hesitated and said, "Uncle Zhang is helping Lu so much. Is there anything I can help with?"
When the old hunter heard this, he sighed softly. He drank all the wine in the bowl and said slowly: "You can see it. Yes, I, an old man, do have something to ask for."
"I don't know what's going on?" Lu Kun was a little curious. Although he was the top athlete in the former world, his fighting ability was not as good as that of the old hunter in front of him. Is there any need for his help?
The old hunter continued: "I didn't have much hope at first, but after meeting you, I found that there is still a chance. After all, as a coach from the Jin Army, with a special background, he will definitely be reused by the Iron Fist Sect."
Lu Kun said cautiously: "I'm just a low-level warrior..."
The old hunter said slowly: "Don't rush to agree now. You can decide whether to help me after listening to it. Here's the thing..."
