The next day, Guo Song did not see the figure of Goshawk Mengzi. Perhaps it was recovering from its injuries, and Guo Song did not dare to approach its nest.
On the third day, he still didn't see the goshawk appearing. At noon on the fourth day, Guo Song could no longer bear it, grabbed a vine, and slowly approached the eagle's nest.
The Eagle's Nest is located in the middle and upper part of the stone wall. It is a narrow cave, about four feet high and only two feet wide. It is actually a crack in the mountain wall.
Guo Song approached the eagle's nest for the first time and saw that it was covered with branches. The goshawk was lying in the nest with its head hanging limply outside the nest and its feet in the sky. Guo Song was shocked. Isn't it dead?
He quickly climbed into the crack in the stone and moved the goshawk's head slightly. It was like a stone hanging in the air on a rope, soft and soft.
There were still dried blood stains on the feathers on the back of the neck. It was probably because the neck bone was bitten off. Mengzi struggled to return to the nest, but he died of serious injuries.
‘Tweet!’
Suddenly there was a faint sound of birdsong. Guo Song lowered his head and found that a little eagle came out from under the eagle's belly. No! It should be a bald chick now, with no hair on its body and a pair of big eaglets.
Strange eyes were looking at him curiously.
Guo Song quickly picked up the eagle carcass. There were three eaglets under it, two were dead, and the neck was very long. Only the little eagle was still alive.
"Poor little one, your mother is dead, what will you do?"
Guo Song put down the eagle corpse and reached out to hold the little eagle. Unexpectedly, the little eagle pecked his finger hard, causing a sharp pain and blood gushing out.
Guo Song quickly sucked it with his mouth and cursed: "You little rascal, you don't know what to do, I have to spank you hard."
He looked around for branches, but accidentally discovered a flash of cold light deep in the crevices of the rocks. Guo Song was stunned for a moment. Did he read it right? Is that a sword?
‘Tweet!’
The little eagle jumped up and flapped its wings and ran out of the stone crevice. Guo Song didn't care to look at the sword, grabbed it, stuffed it into his arms, and climbed quickly to the top of the mountain on the vines.
‘Tweet!’
The little eagle stuck its head and looked out. Fortunately, it was honest at this time and did not get out of Guo Song's arms.
After climbing to the top of the mountain, Guo Song carefully held the little eagle in his hands and ran towards the Taoist temple.
He has loved raising animals since he was a child. He has raised dogs and cats, but what he desires most is to raise a falcon, standing majestically on his shoulders. That feeling makes him yearn for it.
But living in the city, raising eagles is just a dream after all, but he didn't expect that in the Tang Dynasty 1,300 years ago, he actually realized his dream of raising eagles, so how could he not be overjoyed.
Guo Song ran into the Taoist temple in one breath. Gan Yu, the fourth senior brother who was chopping firewood, laughed and said: "Where did I catch the pheasant? It's so small that it's not enough to make a pot of soup!"
"Don't worry, this is Yingying, the son of Mengzi. Mengzi died and there is no one to raise his son. I plan to adopt him."
Gan Lei jumped out of the kitchen window. This guy stayed in the kitchen most of the time. He came forward and said with a smile: "Is this little chicken the son of Mengzi?"
Guo Song immediately looked at him warily, "Brother, this eagle is mine, don't even think about it!"
"You don't know how to raise an eagle. You will raise it to death. If you give it back to me, I will raise it. I will adopt it as my godson. Junior brother, just leave it to me."
Guo Song jumped out ten feet away and said solemnly: "Brother, this eagle is mine, and I really won't let you do it this time."
When Gan Lei saw that his junior brother really refused to give it to him, he said angrily: "Who cares? I will get one myself. Meng Zi will not only have one son!"
"There are two more, but they are both dead. Only this one is alive."
"Forget it, I won't argue with you. I'm just going to carry the water."
He picked up the bucket and walked away, muttering in a low voice: "I treat it better than my own, don't you believe it doesn't recognize me as its father?"
Guo Song was too lazy to pay attention to him, and quickly ran back to the bedroom and put the little eagle on his bed. He thought for a while, ran to the kitchen to get a piece of dried fish, and ran back in one breath, only to see the little eagle running around the room flapping its wings.
, shouting loudly and sharply, "Chirp! Chirp!" It wanted to fly, but it had no feathers and couldn't fly.
Guo Song tore the dried fish into strips and threw it to it. The little eagle caught it in one mouth, raised its neck, and gobbled it into its stomach.
After eating two small dried fish, the little eagle seemed to be stronger, flapping its fleshy wings and running around the room.
Gan Yu leaned against the door and smiled and said: "Junior brother, it is easy to raise an eagle. It will probably fly in two or three months at most, but if you want to turn it into your own eagle, it will be difficult. I heard Master say that the grassland
When people raise an eagle, they have to endure it, which is to make it surrender to you. It is very difficult, but once you succeed, it will recognize you as its master."
"Actually, it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if it wants to fly away. It's just because the death of its mother has something to do with me. I feel guilty, so I want to raise it to make up for my sin!"
"You have a good attitude. I suggest you take its nest back. If the eagle recognizes the nest, it will live there. Otherwise, you won't be able to watch it at all and the bobcat will snatch it away in one bite."
Guo Song nodded, "Senior brother, please help me keep an eye on it. I'll go get the nest."
"Want me to go with you?"
"No, please keep an eye on it for me, I'm worried about that damn fat man."
Guo Song's last voice came from the bottom of the cliff. Gan Yu sighed in his heart. Although he also jumped over the cliff, he could only go down twenty feet at most, which was far behind his junior brother.
Guo Song jumped into the eagle's nest in a moment and saw that the huge bird's nest was still there. He gently put the eagle corpse aside, thought for a moment, and then found some soil and stone powder from the cave to cover up the three eagle corpses.
At this time, he saw the sword again, but Guo Song was stunned.
The sword has no hilt, only half of the sword is nailed to the stone wall, with the tip facing outward.
What's going on?
There is only one situation where the sword tip will face outward, and that is if someone inside pierces the stone wall with a sword, so the hilt of the sword is inside the stone wall.
"Is the inside of the stone wall empty?"
Guo Song pondered for a moment, then he slowly climbed in and kicked the stone wall hard. The force of this kick was at least several hundred kilograms. With a sound of "Boom!", a three-foot-high stone was kicked open from the stone wall.
The cave is so big that the stone walls are as thin as wooden boards.
Guo Song stayed for a moment, and then he broke off the surrounding stone walls one by one. At this time, a white skeleton fell down, which shocked Guo Song.
I saw only hair on the top of the white bones, and he was wearing a Taoist robe. Perhaps because of the age, the Taoist robe was almost brittle.
He suddenly understood that the immortal Taoist priest was leaning on the stone wall and had to break off the stone wall himself. The bones would lose balance and of course he would fall down.
"Senior, I'm sorry!"
Guo Song quickly stepped into the hole with one leg and carefully lifted the bones up again. Fortunately, the head did not fall off.
He picked up the long sword casually. The back half of the sword was a little rusty, but it was still sharp and cold.
He put his head in and took a look. There was a little light inside. The bones were in an alcove. The alcove was about five feet deep and four feet high and wide. He could only sit cross-legged in it. There was a big crack next to it. There seemed to be something inside.
A big stone got stuck in the crack,
The niche was full of marks carved by axes and chisels, which made Guo Song stand in awe. This niche was actually carved out bit by bit by this skeleton senior.
He slowly walked into the alcove, and through the blurred light, he saw that there was a dome-shaped cave inside. It was dark underneath, and he didn't know how deep it was. Dozens of caves were scattered around the stone walls, some large and some small, and the inside was vague.
There are sitting figures, but they are probably all bones.
"Who's down there?" Someone suddenly asked from above.
This business was very familiar. Guo Song was suddenly surprised and happy, "Master, is it you?"
"Guo Song?" Mu Zhenren's voice was stunned for a moment.
Soon, a rope slipped down, and Mu Zhen said from the top: "Climb up by yourself! I can't separate myself."
Guo Song climbed up more than ten feet and saw Master Mu Zhenren sitting in front of a grotto, looking at him coldly.
"How did you get in?"
"Master, Mengzi is dead. When I entered the Eagle's Nest, I found a sword inlaid on the stone wall of the Eagle's Nest. It was this sword."
Guo Song handed the sword to his master and explained: "In the end, I kicked open the stone wall and discovered this cave."
Mu Zhenren quickly went down. After a while, he climbed up and his expression softened a lot.
"I'm surprised. This cave is very hidden, and the entrance is very small. It winds for more than ten feet and has many branches. It's like a maze. Without someone to guide you, you can never get in. It turns out that this Taoist friend from Hongji almost missed it.
The stone wall was cut through."
The two characters "Hongji" are engraved on the hilt of the sword. I don't know the year and month of the Taoist priest.
"Master, is this Lingji Cave?" Guo Song asked curiously.
Mu Zhenren sneered, "Outside, Lingji Cave is said to be magical, as if it is a fairy cave, but in fact it is just a Taoist tomb!"
"But Fairy Wei Wei said that Lingji Cave is full of celestial beings and there are many people who have attained the Tao."
"I don't feel that there are many immortals, but there are many people who have attained the Tao. Guo Song, there are a total of fifty-three immortals here, twenty-one of them have incorruptible bodies. Although they are not physically ascending, they are also able to cultivate elixirs."
road."
Guo Song looked at several caves and found a Taoist priest with an incorruptible body. He had been alive for hundreds of years, but his face was still lifelike, but his skin and muscles were hardened like stone. They were said to be mummies, but the cave was very humid.
Not for any reason.
He was still at a loss, and did not know the preciousness of the incorruptible body. Only one body was discovered in the Tang Dynasty, but there were twenty-one here. Guo Song no longer valued things as precious.
"Master, if the physical body does not decay, does it mean that you have attained the Tao through cultivating elixirs?"
"The body is immortal and the soul is immortal. Of course he is the one who has achieved the great truth!"
Mu Zhenren waved to him, "Come and sit down. Master, I have something to say to you."
Guo Song sat down next to Mu Zhenren. Mu Zhenren sighed and said: "From the day I accepted you as my disciple, I began to arrange my own home here. As you can see, I have already dug two feet deep, and I will dig another three feet deep."
That's enough. You actually came in today. It shows that there is God's will in the world. Sun Xianren is right. I will receive the last closed disciple ten years before I emerge, and he will help me complete the last journey. I
Still thinking about how to bring you in? But now that you are in front of me, it can be seen that God has arranged everything."
