"Qixie!!" Tang Sancheng yelled, waking up everyone. Xiaoshan opened his eyes and saw Qixie's state, and was shocked. If Qixie flew out, he would fall from here, leaving no bones.
Xiaoshan's strength has always been great, and with Xiaoshan's help, Qixie's confidence greatly increased, and he punched forward with his hands like fists. When Tang Sancheng ran out, Qixie's body had already come back, and what he hit with both fists was
What? I didn't see Qixie lying on the snow, his chest still heaving violently. Tang Sancheng and Xiaoshan helped him up: "What was that just now?"
"An eagle." Qixie said with a bitter smile: "We seem to have a close relationship with eagles."
No wonder, the eagle has two wings, so it can attack Qixie like this. Looking at the snow, there is a neat row of footprints. These should be the tiny footsteps that Tang Sancheng heard. These footprints are not small.
"It seems to be a goshawk." Bai Yi said: "I didn't expect it to be so ferocious that it would attack humans directly."
Qixie smiled bitterly and said: "No, I just looked at it, and it suddenly launched an attack, pulling my body to fly to the side. There was a cliff there, and the force was amazing. If Xiaoshan hadn't taken action in time,
I'm afraid I'll fall."
"This eagle is so powerful, it might catch you and fly away." Shen Bing said.
"It's not impossible. If you have a small body like yours, this eagle can definitely handle it." Bai Yi said: "The goshawks of Tianshan Mountain are known for their long and ferocious bodies. A goshawk has its wings spread, and it can reach 100 feet."
It is more than two meters long, like a small plane. Sometimes it soars upwards, sometimes it flies carefree
Hovering in the air, once a hare, yellow sheep or other weak animals are found, it will be slashed across the sky like a sharp sword with lightning speed. These weak animals will soon become a delicious meal for the goshawk.
Hare, you don't fit in, but the gazelle is somewhat suitable."
Shen Bing stuck out his tongue: "It's really scary."
"The goshawk's hunting characteristics are fierce, accurate, ruthless and fast, and it has great lethality. It will pounce on any animal within its power, pierce its chest with a sharp claw on one foot, and then use the other to pierce its chest.
The sharp claws on its feet cut open its abdomen, and first ate the fresh heart, liver, lungs and other internal organs, and then brought the bloody corpse back to its habitat, tore it apart and then pecked it."
Fu Yu patted Shen Bing on the back, because Shen Bing was so scared that her body was trembling. She seemed to really imagine herself as prey.
"You must be careful." Bai Yi said: "There may be other aggressive animals here. What concerns me most is that goshawks are originally animals that are active during the day. Why are they so active at night?"
"Animals' habits will also change due to some factors." Fu Yu said: "The cultivation of Gu insects I do is actually the same. I change their habits through external means and use them for my own use."
As everyone talked, they returned to their sleeping bags and returned to the warm environment, but they couldn't sleep anymore. The last words Fu Yu just said reminded Bai Yi: "Fu Yu is right, maybe someone is training him."
Subduing these eagles for his own use, why do I feel that Wei Qing is hiding something?"
Yes, on the way here, Bai Yi once asked Wei Qing about the circumstances of the couple's coming to Tianshan Mountain and the place where they met the generals. He gave a somewhat rough description and was vague about some things. Wei Yi's expression seemed a little...
Unexpected, but kept silent, why is this?
When it comes to falcon training, they have to think of sea holly. The Mongolian method of falcon training is still fresh in their minds. When the eagle is eating, it is necessary to take the eagle to an open area, unbuckle its feet, and let the eagle fly freely.
Then he raised the arm that usually holds the eagle for feeding, shouted the command, and let the eagle fly back to the arm to eat. The training started in a place with few people, and then in a place with many people, until the eagle heard the command anywhere.
It's done when it flies back to its owner's arm.
This is just preliminary falcon training. Eagles are wild animals after all. In order for them to become one with their owners, they must be familiar with and understand the human world. This is called "cooking the eagle". This process takes a total of eight days.
For fifteen days, the eagle and the man were together at all times, and a dog was tied next to them when they rested at night until the eagle could eat safely on the shoulders and arms of the falconer.
By the time you go to bed, it means you have survived, but it is not enough. The eagle's own physique also needs to be adjusted. This is called fat water. "Fat water" is the oil and water in the eagle's belly. The eagle needs to eat about three taels every day.
Feed the eagle good quality fresh beef, and then control the eagle's food intake in the following days. Only let it eat 80-90% full every day to keep the eagle at an optimal fat level.
After training the falcon, it is time to release the falcon. The falconer stands watching from a high place and has people beat the bushes with sticks to drive the wild animals out. This is called chasing. If any prey is found running or flying out, the falcon will immediately point out.
The hawk screams and swoops down to capture the prey. The falconer must arrive as soon as possible to take down the prey. The hawk should only be fed some animal offal, but not full. In the early spring of the following year, the hawk must be fed and allowed to return to nature to breed.
Descendants.
Bai Yi recalled the process carefully, and asked Qixie several times about the situation just now, and became a little stunned: "Compared to the Mongolian eagle training, this eagle seems to be more spiritual. With the physique of this eagle, it is necessary to
It's impossible to subdue an eagle, I mean, it's impossible with a body like the Mongolians, so if these eagles are trained by someone, then this person must not be an ordinary person."
"Is it a general?" Tang Sancheng asked in surprise.
"It's not like that." Bai Yi said, "You have dealt with the general. Is he someone who would do such troublesome things?"
"Uh, absolutely not." Tang Sancheng said: "He is born to be free. He will not do such things that restrict himself."
"Yes, it's not a general," Bai Yi said: "So the problem is big. It seems that there are other people here. The goshawk appears, and it is very likely that he is here to test us."
"But if Wei Qing knew about it, why didn't he tell us and let us be careful?" Shen Bing said: "This guy is really serious. What is he thinking?"
"No, I think they were aware of it, but they didn't collide head-on." Fu Yu said: "Over the past few days, I have almost figured out Wei Yi's personality. She is the kind of person who pays attention to factual evidence, and she is very
Seriously, if she had solid evidence, she would definitely refute her husband, but she didn't, which means she couldn't deny everything Wei Qing said. Therefore, Wei Qing concealed it because he was not sure. Even if he wanted me to be wary of something, he said
If we don’t get to the bottom of it, everything is in vain.”
"It sounds reasonable." Shen Bing said, "Okay, let's leave here as soon as daybreak. I don't want to become the prey of that goshawk."
At dawn, when the snow-capped mountains dawned, the beautiful scenery almost made Shen Bing forget her fear at night. Everyone was packing their things and shrunk them into their hiking bags. Shen Bing was also ready to pack. At this moment, she saw something unexpected
On the mountain in the distance, there was a dark shadow moving. She stretched her fingers there: "Look, look quickly, there seems to be someone there!"
Everyone came out. Tang Sancheng took a look and shook his head: "No, it's not a human, it's an eagle!"
Everyone's mood became inexplicable. Those eagles were walking on the cliff like humans, and they looked very contented. They moved exactly like humans! The most terrible thing was that even though they were so far away, they could feel it.
Those eagles were staring at them. It felt like a surveillance camera. The eyes of these eagles were eagle eyes, supervising their every move.
"Let's go and ignore them." Bai Yi said: "If they want to attack us, they don't have to stay so far away and just stare at us. Let's go up the mountain as planned."
When people were going up the mountain, the eagles followed them closely. Several times, they wished they could just follow them. Sometimes they stopped there, sometimes they paced slowly behind, and sometimes they spread their wings and flew high.
, hovering above everyone's heads, they walked together, which made Bai Yi doubtful again.
"Goshawks are not animals that like to travel together." Bai Yi said: "But these goshawks seem to enjoy the joy of moving together."
While they were talking, a goshawk suddenly called out. The sound was sharp and loud. Shen Bing and Xiaoshan covered their ears at the same time: "The sound was like it was about to burst our eardrums. What on earth do these eagles want to do?"
"As long as they don't attack, we don't care." Bai Yi said, "Let's go, keep going."
The road to the top of the mountain was very rugged. In some places, Fu Yu found some marks, most of which were carved in eye-catching locations. These should be road signs left by the Wei couple to prevent them from getting lost. The two people were also extremely thoughtful.
It's so delicate. Seeing those marks makes everyone feel much more comfortable. With those who have gone before to lead the way, they always feel more at ease.
Tang Sancheng listened to the movement of the hawk behind him, but he might as well have slipped. A lot of snow was blown away under his feet, and he slid to one side. Qixie above him grabbed him: "Be careful where you step."
Tang Sancheng nodded and was about to continue when he saw a hand vaguely exposed from the snowdrift on his left. He was startled: "There is a dead person!"
Qixie lowered his head and looked down, peeling away the snow there, and saw a corpse lying there. Judging from his clothes, he should be an explorer, and a foreign explorer at that. Tang Sancheng swallowed.
He spat: "Why are there dead bodies everywhere here?"
"It's just one body, how come it's everywhere." Shen Bing was extremely dissatisfied with Tang Sancheng's statement.
"The higher the mountain, the easier it is to arouse people's desire to conquer," Bai Yi said: "Ignore this corpse, let's continue."
At this moment, a goshawk suddenly swooped over and passed over Tang Sancheng's head. Tang Sancheng even felt that its claws had scratched his scalp!!
