Chapter 17: Night Hunting

I don't know everything about Lao Linzi, I think it's novel, interesting, and full of some inexplicable awe, Lao Zhang's actions make me have a stomach, but Lao Zhang doesn't seem to want to answer me at this time, just gestures to silence me, and then bowed respectfully to the big bird.

Naturally, it is impossible for me to worship, after all, I am a Taoist, even if that big bird is successful in cultivation, in my eyes, it is at most a demon cultivator, and there is no reason to worship, but this does not prevent me from looking at it with eyes full of excitement and inquiry, because I have grown so big, and the things I have experienced are magical, but I have never seen what a monster is like.

At first, I couldn't recognize what kind of bird it was, but now by the cold moonlight, I looked at the faint silhouette, and I could roughly see that it seemed to be an owl, but I was not sure, first, in my impression, the owl could not be so big, and second, because of its ' The eyebrows are really as long as in some cartoon shapes, so much so that they cost the whole face a lot more, and they look very majestic, and a pair of eyes are bright, and in the night when the outline is not very clear, I can see its eyes clearly, and even the kind of eyes that are a little distant, how bright do you say this is?

Next, something surprising happened, after Lao Zhang bowed to the owl, the owl nodded to Lao Zhang in an unusually humane manner, Lao Zhang was unusually in awe and did not speak, after receiving this little recognition, he just lowered his head, as if it was blasphemy to look at it more.

And I didn't have that scruples, I still looked at the bird, it was not annoyed, it turned its head to look at me, it was also a look, but its eyes were calm, and there was no malice, and after looking at it for a while, its eyes seemed to reveal a kind of understanding, so it stayed for about ten seconds, and its wings flew away.

I don't know how this big bird flies, one moment I saw it flying towards a high place, I could hear the sound of wings fluttering, and the next moment, there was no shadow, I really lost such a big bird, and this ability.

The bird flew away for about a minute before Lao Zhang relaxed and said to me, "Let's go, it's not malicious, as long as you don't disrespect it." ”

I was interested, and asked Lao Zhang one after another: "Lao Zhang, what is the name of 'stick', why is a bird here as a 'stick', is there any legend in it?" ”

Lao Zhang turned the flashlight into a strong light, then touched a stick and pinched it in his hand, and replied to me while looking at the traces in the snow: "The so-called 'stick' means that it is the boss of this ridge." Saying it's a 'stick' has been passed down from my grandfather's generation, how old do you say this boss is? People who often come to this mountain to wander around say that it is almost fine! This body shape, this spirituality, no one believes it if it is not refined? ”

Lao Zhang said very calmly, as if people in the mountains talked about it, just as people in the city said which department store was the best.

But I was curious, and I couldn't help but ask, "Is it amazing?" Does it hurt? ”

"I don't know if it's powerful or not, I only know that there are no animals or people who dare to hurt it in this area, and the older generation all say that the 'stick' of this ridge is the most kind, you are polite to it, it is polite to you, you are too much, it is too lazy to pay attention to you, and you care, unless it is annoyed by it, but who in the mountains will annoy it? My grandfather once said that it is a blessing to have such a 'stick' in this ridge, because this ridge is the closest to the place where people live, and there is such a stick to protect it, and there is no fierce guy who comes down to hurt people, so we have no reason not to respect it. Lao Zhang's tone was still calm, but unusually serious.

I nodded, I believe, because I just saw the owl nodding to Lao Zhang, I just wondered, didn't I say that the owl cries like a child? Why didn't I hear that just now? On the contrary, it is cool and grand, is this a manifestation of spiritual success?

While talking, Lao Zhang and I walked a few hundred meters, Lao Zhang observed the traces on the snow more and more seriously, followed the traces to a place, he began to search around, and signaled me to stop moving, stop talking.

Actually, I still have a stomach of questions I want to ask Lao Zhang, such as where are the mountains and mountains sticks? Are they all youkai, goblins? However, I know that I shouldn't disturb Lao Zhang at this time.

And Lao Zhang is really magical, I don't know how, I groped for a place, and then I didn't know what to do towards that place, and then I walked to a place ten meters away from that place and waited, waited quietly, and waved at me, telling me to keep quiet.

It was silent for about ten minutes, just now in that place, I don't know where to really rush out of a few snow-white rabbits, came out and began to rush, it is amazing that one actually rushed towards Lao Zhang, Lao Zhang clenched the big stick in his hand, and suddenly knocked it down, I saw the rabbit that rushed towards Lao Zhang, was knocked to death in the snow.

What kind of hand is this? I think it's amazing, it's not like me and my master hunting, there is no technical content at all, and when I see a rabbit in the mountains, I shoot a gun, and if I can't shoot, it depends on luck!

Compared with Lao Zhang, my master and I are simply compatible, no comparison, this comparison, tears will come out.

Lao Zhang lifted the rabbit and walked towards me, seeing that I was dumbfounded, he also smiled slightly, and said: "Surprise the rabbit out of the nest, is the means, as for hitting the rabbit, it is experience, you have been hunting in the mountains for decades, you will also, because this rabbit, don't look at it running fast, but just like people, there is a habit of running, where to rush, how to turn, with instinct you know when to get off the stick." ”

I don't think I can learn this hunting, how much time will it take? At the same time, I also sighed that the master is in the people, and this sentence is not blown.

Lao Zhang didn't care, and said: "I'll look for it, can I get a snake, let's cook another snake soup to eat at night, the more poisonous the snake, the better the taste." ”

Snake meat? I don't mind, I used to eat a lot with Master in the bamboo forest, but I just understood that some snakes could not be touched, so I had to be respected, and some snakes were fine.

In this way, Lao Zhang and I wandered around the old forest for more than an hour, harvested a rabbit, and really got a snake, very poisonous, a belly snake, and then we were ready to go back to the temporary 'shack'.

Along the way, I also gained knowledge, saw Lao Zhang's hunting hand, and also saw Lao Zhang's means of finding prey, hibernating snakes can be found by him, and I also heard Lao Zhang say a lot, such as about 'sticks', such as what is 'snow nest'?

It's really amazing, after knowing this, the awe of the old forest is more, and I also know that the mountain under the white snow is actually dangerous everywhere, just take the snow nest as an example, this snow is covered, you really don't know that there is a mountain col under the snow, and the mountain nest that has fallen down has to be judged by experience and skill.

For example, 'sticks' are not all the kind of animals with aura, sometimes they are beasts, sometimes, even things you don't expect, Lao Zhang can't tell what it is, but he said: "There are so many places in this mountain, I don't say that every ridge has a 'stick', but a land boundary and a king are true, there is a legend, the deeper the place, the less people there are, but the heavier the aura in the mountains, the more powerful the 'stick', and some 'sticks' are not to be provoked." ”

When he said this, Lao Zhang looked at me again and again, and didn't say anything more, I understand that with his sincere character, he may feel that he is talking too much, but it seems that he is shirking this errand, even if it is really dangerous, even very dangerous, then it can only be accompanied.

I felt a little sorry for Lao Zhang, and I became more and more eager to go back to explain some things clearly, and I kept silent on the way, but it was really unclear for a while, so let's go back and talk about it.

Lao Zhang is really familiar with this mountain, when I came I felt that I had been walking for a long time, when I went back, Lao Zhang took me to copy the path, not long after, I saw the warm yellow light of the 'shack' from a distance.

Just as Lao Zhang said, in this mountain forest, to have a shack is a thing that gives people great warmth and hope, and sometimes even saves people's lives.
