The beast is lying on the ground.
Lin Shuo was leaning against the beast's one-horn, sitting on the bridge of its nose.
The dust settled.
Lin Shuo touched his jacket pocket and found that the cigarettes inside were gone.
Just now, when he swung the beast's head in a circle, Lin Shuo came back, but the cigarette in his jacket pocket flew out.
Fortunately, Wei Xingshan ran over at this time and picked up the pack of cigarettes.
It was not easy for Old Wei. This trip down from the snow-capped mountain was a scramble and a climb, and the speed was not too slow.
As he went down the mountain, he saw Lin Shuo's entire battle process in his eyes.
For Wei Xingshan now, no matter what kind of beating Lin Shuo is, it is normal, and he is no longer surprised.
Walking ten meters away from the unconscious beast, Wei Xingshan looked around and was a little afraid to go forward.
Lin Shuo glanced at him and stretched out his hand, which meant to pull him up.
The head of the barbarian, even if it is now attached to the ground, is about two meters high.
Wei Xingshan struggled for a while, came to the side of the beast's head, and stretched out his palm.
As soon as Lin Shuo pulled, he pulled the giant up.
The two sat on the barge's head and began to share cigarettes.
As for Anne and Zhang Jin, although the frequent incidents during the battle just now caused Lin Shuo to worry a lot, they were still familiar with the hunting process.
The injuries on both of them are not serious, and things are almost done now, and they know that the battlefield needs to be cleaned up.
Especially those three corpses, we can't just let them go.
Zhang went in to clean up the two nearby corpses, while Anne walked towards the snow mountain.
On the top of the mountain, there is still a person stuck upside down.
At this moment, Lin Shuo needs to take a breath and rest for a while.
Because the set of actions just now consumes more energy than pulling a bow once.
The beast itself is actually stronger than the hooked snake.
But after all, it is a relative by nature, even if it is now living in symbiosis with the King of Yama, and has a certain degree of aggressiveness towards people, it is not considered vicious.
Lacking the deep-rooted hatred for human beings and the extremely strong killing intent, it is actually easier to deal with this beast than the hooked snake. Lin Shuo doesn't need to guard against one or the other.
The hooked snake is about to die as soon as it meets the face. If it is against the beast, as long as it is not for Anne and Zhang Jin's method of death, it will not be possible.
The real difficulty of this transaction lies in obtaining information.
For this, I have to thank Dylan.
As soon as he thought of this woman, Lin Shuo remembered, wondering what was going on with Yang Tuo now.
Di Lan went back to have a showdown with Yang Tuo. According to the time, it should be discussed now.
I don't know if Yang Tuo can hold on.
While Lin Shuo was smoking a cigarette, thinking about these things in his heart, Wei Xingshan beside him said:
"Old Lin, is this deal considered done?"
"Well, it's almost there." Lin Shuo said.
"What about the King of Hades?" Wei Xingshan looked left and right.
"Inside this guy."
"Then shall we get it out?"
"Don't mess around. This is the job of biologists. We hunters are only responsible for fighting."
"Then you've got the ten million dollars?"
"What do you say?"
"Hey, it's better for you to come to the money sooner. I, the captain of the Asian action team, really don't have any taste, or I'll follow you in vain."
"Why, do you want to change your career?"
"Hey, to tell you the truth, it really is."
"It's not impossible." Lin Shuo said slowly, "Actually, we Liemen, the heirs of the six major families, travel the rivers and lakes alone, which is always inconvenient, so we will bring one or two assistants or something.
Later, these assistants learned a little bit of skill, and they also spread their branches and branches. This is how the other families of Liemen came to be.
It's just that this is forever, there were nine families in the past, now there are only six families left, and most of the assistant families are doing well, especially those overseas, some of them have become heads of state.
You old Wei, you can also go this way.
It's just that I'm ugly to say before, those hunter's assistants in history, can survive to the end, not one out of ten can survive. "
"Hey." Wei Xingshan smiled, "If it's other hunters, I won't follow, but you alone, I think this deal can be done."
"Why?"
"Because even if I were in danger on the top of a snow-capped mountain two or three kilometers away, you, Lin Shuo, would fly over to save me. I, Wei Xingshan, would be willing to sacrifice my life for you Lin Shuo." Wei Xingshan said in a deep voice.
"Okay." Lin Shuo nodded, "But this matter is not just about you and me nodding your head. First of all, you have to tell Nian Qiu first, after all, you are her subordinate now."
"It's okay, huh?" Wei Xingshan seemed to realize something, "Nianqiu? It's very affectionate, did I miss something?"
"Stop talking nonsense." Lin Shuo rolled his eyes and continued, "Secondly, since you want to follow me, you're getting started. You want to worship under my door, and I want to show off to the world."
"What do you mean by swinging branches?"
"It's people in the sect accepting apprentices." Lin Shuo said.
"Ah? Am I not your assistant? Why am I your apprentice again?" Wei Xingshan asked.
"It's the same thing." Lin Shuo explained, "If I don't accept apprentices, I won't be able to teach you skills. This is the rule."
"Then you were also guiding me before?"
"Those are just superficial." Lin Shuo said, "After setting up the branches, I can justifiably teach you how good you are. I also thought about it. If you, Wei Xingshan, are always like this, I will fly four or five miles every time. Save you, this is not a problem."
"Who says it's not!" Wei Xingshan's eyes lit up.
"However, you have to know something in your own mind. After all, your age is a bit old, isn't it thirty this year?"
"yes."
"The bones have been finalized, and the previous training has gone wrong, so it's not easy to clean up. The future achievements will be limited, but no matter what, you will be much better than you are now."
"Okay, when shall we swing the branches?"
"Let's wait for spring." Lin Shuo said, "Our business is over, so we'll go to Su's house to live in. Anyway, it's vacant there. I'll take advantage of these few months to tidy up you, otherwise when I'm setting up branches, I'll I can't afford to lose that guy."
"Ah? What do you mean, will there be a lot of people when you swing the branches?" Wei Xingshan was a little surprised.
"I, Lin Shuo, recruit disciples. Naturally, there are quite a few people. After all, I am the nominal leader of Liemen." Lin Shuo said, "Besides, the beginning of spring has to be done in a special way."
"Ah?" Wei Xingshan was a little flattered, "Old Lin, I'm under a lot of pressure if you do this."
"Don't get me wrong, it's mainly not for you, nor for showing off." Lin Shuo glanced at Wei Xingshan, "Next year, it will be our Liemen's Peer Ceremony, and all the dignified people of Liemen will come. Time and place , the last few times have been decided by our Lin family. Anyway, one sheep will be chased and two sheep will be released, so let’s do it together in the spring.”
"Peer-generation alliance ceremony? What is this?" Wei Xingshan asked.
"To put it bluntly, it is a ceremony for the six leaders of our six Liemen families to smooth out their seniority and renew the covenant at the same time. It happens once every 100 years, and it's about time next year."
"I can understand the renewal of the covenant, but why do you want to wipe out your seniority?"
"That's mainly because our Liemen has been passed down for too long, more than 10,000 years. Think about it, the nine people who were called brothers 10,000 years ago, after 10,000 years, how much difference in generation will be between their descendants of the same age ?”
"That's unimaginable. In my hometown, I have to call a three-year-old child uncle. If it goes up, we are actually the same great ancestor more than a hundred years ago." Wei Xingshan finished speaking. Nodded, "If you say it that way, I understand."
"So, every 100 years, among the nine families of Liemen, of course there are only six families left, we need to hold such a ceremony to smooth out the gap in generations. But there is a premise, that is, the ability of each family, To be recognized by each other, if there is too much difference, the obviously weaker Patriarch will be downgraded by one generation. If the difference is too much, then maybe even the status of the six great families will be lost."
"It's so serious." Wei Xingshan asked, "That is to say, once the difference is too far, the Six Families will lose one or two families?"
"Yes." Lin Shuo nodded, "Otherwise, why were there only nine families before, and now there are only six families left."
"Then you, Old Lin, don't you want to put water in the dead next year!" Wei Xingshan said, "Otherwise, where other Patriarchs are your opponents, there will only be one family left in Liemen, and that is your Lin family."
"Don't underestimate the heroes of the world." Lin Shuo shook his head, "The martial arts contest at the peer alliance ceremony can be fought by the patriarch's guardian, not necessarily the patriarch himself.
To put it bluntly, it means that the highest combat power of this family must be able to stand up, and it does not necessarily require the owner of the family to be able to fight.
After all, the head of the family is not only a matter of ability, but mainly depends on the ability to manage one's own family, and one cannot generalize. "
"Oh, that's reasonable." Wei Xingshan nodded, "But it sounds like it's an internal matter of the Six Families, and has nothing to do with other families. Why are they here?"
"Fill in the vacancies." Lin Shuo explained, "As the saying goes, wealth does not last for three generations, and the same goes for the inheritance of the Liemen. As the family gains power, the younger generations live more and more comfortably, and it is common for one generation to be worse than the next.
In fact, only the Yun family was among the nine earliest recorded families of Liemen, and now our other five families are all added later.
The earliest is the Miao family, maybe five or six thousand years ago, the records are not very detailed at that time, probably around this time period.
Then came the Zhang family, two thousand years ago. Then came our Lin family, during the Sui and Tang Dynasties, when we invited Master Zhui.
The Su family, that is a matter of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms. The Cao family is the latest, in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties.
As for the other eight of the nine earliest recorded families, as well as those families that were once one of several great families and were eliminated, some of them have lost their inheritance and successors, but there are still some of them whose inheritance is still there. The successor was not good at that time, and did not squeeze in for the family.
In the spring of next year, this peer alliance ceremony, I think it will be very lively.
Because the current Six Great Families have suffered heavy losses over the past hundred years, and their overall strength is weak.
The family below must be ready to move.
However, this is also a good thing. Metabolism, if it doesn’t work, go down and let it go up.
Without this kind of internal competition, where do we get the ten thousand years of inheritance? "
"That makes sense." Wei Xingshan had some understanding of the situation of the six families of Liemen these days, so he couldn't help but nodded at this time, and then he changed the topic, "But you should be very worried about the Zhang family and the Su family right now?"
"It's a little bit." Lin Shuo didn't deny it. "The two of them are alone now, and they don't even have an official head of the family. Among them, Nianqiu is a woman. You know the traditional concept, and there is indeed resistance."
"That's really not enough. If you become their guardian, who would dare not accept it?" Wei Xingshan asked.
"I'm already the head of the Lin family, so I can't be another family's protector, or else there will be chaos?" Lin Shuo shook his head, "Let's talk about this matter when the time comes, I can't be too partial, it's mainly up to them themselves creation."
"Then what does that mean, will I be challenged when I become your apprentice?" Wei Xingshan asked.
"It's very possible." Lin Shuo nodded, "Not everyone in this world is so ambitious and wants to become the inheritance hunter of the Six Great Families. Picking a soft persimmon and beating up my apprentice of Lin Shuo is actually enough to make a name for yourself. It's all over."
"I'll go!" Wei Xingshan shrank his neck, "Old Lin, are you protecting yourself?"
"Protect your weaknesses, and especially protect your weaknesses." Lin Shuo shrugged his shoulders, "It's just that I'm too young, so others probably don't know about my temper."
"That's fine. After I get beaten up once or twice, others will know." Wei Xingshan seemed to accept his fate.
"That's the truth."
The two chatted for a while, only to hear a roar in the distance.
A helicopter flew over from a distance.
Wei Xingshan looked at it and seemed to remember something, with a strange expression on his face: "Old Lin, you seem to have killed the father of this helicopter pilot."
"Things in the door have always been so fucked up." Lin Shuo patted Wei Xingshan's shoulder, "You will get used to it in the future."
