Big fish eat small fish, small fish eat shrimps, shrimps eat mud, this is the law of the world.
Even if the Wang family doesn't harvest the grain below, others who have woken up will pick it up. In this case, it's better to give yourself an advantage.
Regarding the matter of harvesting grain, Wang Xu did not interfere too much.
He, a child prodigy, is already very talented, but no matter how talented he is, he will easily be burned to death.
Of course, he was not idle, but under the guidance of Lao Dong, he began the first step of falcon training, to boil the eagle.
The falcon brought by Lao Dong belongs to the goshawk species, and its wingspan can reach one and a half meters when it reaches adulthood.
The two young eagles have reached the age of shedding their young feathers and spreading their wings to fly high.
The eagle is born at the right time. Once the falconer tames it, it can establish a partnership that lasts for decades.
Lao Dong's method of boiling eagles is the cruelest and most efficient method in the north.
On the first day, he placed a young eagle in a one-meter-high cage, put water and lamb meat outside, and allowed Wang Xu to be alone with the young eagle.
If Wang Xu feeds the young eagle and the young eagle eats it, it means that the young eagle recognizes him.
This was not easy. Wang Xu tried for a day, but the young eagle was very hungry and still ignored him.
Even if the food is brought to its mouth, the young eagle will not eat it. Instead, it pecks at the cage frantically until its mouth is full of blood.
The next day, the young eagle became even more impatient and hungry. It became more aggressive and would react violently whenever Wang Xu came close.
Wang Xu stood guard outside the cage every step of the way. The purpose of doing this was to make the eagle remember him.
Don't worry about the eagle not being able to remember. The eagle's memory is very good. A domesticated falcon can even tell which twin brother is its master and which one is not.
On the third day, the young eagle began to become weak. It had not slept for two days and two nights. It no longer tried to attack Wang Xu. It just wanted to sleep.
At this point, Aoying has entered a critical moment.
Wang Xu needs to use a small wooden stick to fiddle with it and not give it a chance to sleep. This step is very important. If you don't destroy the eagle's willpower and let it understand that you are invincible, it will not obey you.
On the fourth day, Wang Xu approached or stroked the eagle, but the young eagle no longer refused.
It was hungry and sleepy, its eyes were dull, its body was obviously trembling, and the anger in its eyes turned to pleading.
Wang Xu opened the cage and picked up the young eagle.
It did not struggle, but rested its head on Wang Xu's shoulder and lay obediently in Wang Xu's arms, its eyes revealing obedience and tenderness.
Wang Xu took out the prepared water and lamb meat and fed the young eagle little by little.
The young eagle took a few bites and then looked at him. When it was full, it lay in his arms and fell asleep. This meant that the eagle had accepted him.
"Yuanbao, come down!"
In the courtyard, Wang Xu shook his hand, and a young eagle with silver eyes and golden wings flew across the sky in an instant, fluttering its wings and landed on his hand.
Yuanbao is the name Wang Xu gave to the young eagle. He named it because the young eagle has silver eyes and golden wings, and is as popular as Yuanbao.
"Here you go." Wang Xu waved his hand, and three more pills appeared.
These pills were left to him by the main body, and their original intention was to recruit masters from the Buddhist and Taoist families.
Now, the masters of Buddhism and Taoism have not seen it. If you use some of it on Yuanbao, it can be regarded as a waste of money and not going to outsiders.
"Bah!"
Yuan Bao flapped his wings affectionately, rubbed his face with his head, and then swallowed the three pills like a jujube.
"Go, let's play!" After Yuan Bao swallowed the pill, Wang Xu shook his hand again, and after receiving his instructions, Yuan Bao spread his wings and flew away instantly.
An animal like an eagle, once tamed, will never leave its owner.
They are different from pigeons, which can be abducted by a flock of pigeons and never return, but eagles do not need to have such worries.
Because in their senses, you defeated it openly and openly. If the person holding the eagle dies, the eagle will even hit the mountain and die. It has a very strong character.
What's more, if you raise other eagles, they will kill each other, and only the strongest one will survive.
After killing its companion, the eagle will hold the companion's body in its mouth and place it at the feet of the falconer, as if to say: "Look, it fell down before I even exerted any force. This kind of waste is useless at all."
An ordinary goshawk has such a magical ingot with silver eyes and golden wings. It is suspected that it has the blood of the demon clan, so it is even smarter.
In the past few days, Wang Xu has been giving Yuan Bao elixirs. He has taken too many elixirs, and his feathers are faintly mixed with the color of gold and iron. Even Lao Dong said that this is the king of eagles.
Phew!
Phew!!
Yuanbao flaps its wings and flies hundreds of miles in the blink of an eye, soaring above the nine heavens.
In the southwest of Liyang County, surrounded by mountains and long streams, there is a place named Sanjian River.
In the past, Sanjian River had an obscure name. Although the locals thought it was beautiful, it had no reputation.
Five years ago, Xue Mushan, the former censor of Zuodu, built a grass hut here and secluded himself from the world. Only then did the name of Sanjian River spread and became a holy place among scholars in the south.
In today's Confucian world, the saints are missing and the sages have passed away. On the face of it, the most powerful ones are just great Confucians.
The great scholar Xue Mushan was well-known among scholars. He had countless admirers from both the north and the south, and even more people wanted to make pilgrimages.
In order not to be disturbed, Xue Mushan picked up a pen and drew a stroke on the sky. Since then, the fog in Sanjian River has remained all year round. No matter you are a human or a monster, you will feel dizzy when you enter Sanjian River. I wanted to go in, but ended up getting confused. I walked out confused.
The only ones who can survive are the vague and unclear birds and animals, which are not affected by the mist of Sanjian River.
On this day, in Sanjian River, the great scholar Xue Mushan was watering the vegetable garden.
Suddenly, there was an eagle cry in the sky. I couldn't help but look up and saw a falcon with silver eyes and golden wings flying freely in the sky.
"What a good eagle!" Xue Mushan fell in love with the eagle the moment he saw it.
When he was in the Northland, he also had a falcon, but it was not in such good condition.
Later, I became a Jinshi in high school, was named on the gold medal list, and was selected by the Holy Spirit to be the editor of the Hanlin Academy. I had less time to play, and then I gradually became obsessed with calligraphy.
Seeing the falcon flying in the sky, Xue Mushan saw not only the falcon, but also the lost youth.
"I was the top pick in high school at the age of 28. Fast forward, thirty-one years have passed and I am old too!"
Looking at the falcon in the sky, Xue Mushan thought for a while, put down his hoe, returned to the hut to get a pen and paper, raised his hand and wrote the word "eagle".
The word "eagle" was written in one go. The moment he finished writing the last stroke, the words on the paper rose into the sky and turned into an eagle fluttering its wings and flying towards the falcon in the sky.
Yuan Bao, who was having fun in the sky, suddenly saw a similar person and couldn't help being stunned.
The paper eagle did not freeze, it circled around Yuanbao, pecked Yuanbao's head gently, and flew downwards without looking back.
It's okay to want to run away after taking advantage!
Yuan Bao flew into a rage and followed the paper eagle into the mist, chasing after him relentlessly.
Through the fog, below are three streams, bamboo forests, thatched huts, vegetable fields, and old people, all echoing each other.
The paper eagle turned into lightning, and before Yuan Bao rushed up, it plunged into the rice paper and changed into the character "eagle" again.
Yuan Bao was dumbfounded as he pounced on nothing.
It stood on the altar table with rice paper, walking impatiently on tiptoes, and could not figure out where the eagle had gone.
Phew!!
Yuan Bao was impatient, grabbed the rice paper on the table, flapped his wings and flew high.
Xue Mushan paused for a moment, and it took him a while to react, and he cursed angrily: "My words, you thief!"
Phew!!
Hearing the words behind him, Yuan Bao flew faster.
