Two days later, I, Jiao Er, Guo Erye and his two apprentices got a van and set off for Baiwang Mountain with a kite weighing nearly 100 catties. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info that day, the wind and the sun are beautiful, and the autumn is strong. The red leaves on Mt. Baiwang cover half of the mountain.

It took us two hours to get the kites and other equipment to the top of the mountain. Guo Erye's apprentice was busy reassembling the centipede and matching it with a rope. This is a large kite with a length of nearly thirty meters, and Guo Erye has made some innovative improvements on this kite.

On both sides of the original centipede's body, he installed a hair dryer about three meters long, which was also made of bamboo and rice paper, which I knew was a good way to improve the lift of the kite. Supported by two hair dryers and suspended with ash powder plastic straps, the kite maintains good balance and steering ability even when it is loaded. I have to say it's a great invention.

Watching Guo Erye's apprentices assemble the kites, a few of us discussed a plan to lure Han Qi to appear.

Guo Erye and his apprentices put the centipede into the air five hundred meters away, and hung three thin plastic bags on it, each containing about half a catty of ash powder. Jiao Er put a big bat kite about four feet long, and the surface of the kite was brushed with pigeon dung with sheep fat in advance, and the smell could be smelled two miles away.

Jiao Er's kite was lowered to a height of about 400 meters and used as bait for the sling. Once the bat kite is attacked by the pestle, Guo Er Ye will reel in the line, let the centipede swoop down, and three thin plastic bags hit the pestle, so that the ash powder spreads, and the pestle is covered with ash powder, and part of it will be revealed. Everyone discussed, the big centipede was also assembled, and Guo Erye commanded the two apprentices and began to slowly put the centipede into the sky.

Jiao Er saw that the centipede flew to the predetermined position and began to put the bat on it, so we all lowered our heads and stared at the kite playing in mid-air, one tall and one short. Maybe it's ten minutes, maybe it's twenty minutes, the process of waiting for the vision often makes time lose its original effect, and the change in air flow causes small changes in the kite, which also makes everyone's heart beat faster, and the tension can't work.

The first to notice that the situation was Guo Erye's apprentice, after all, he was an expert in kite flying, young and with good eyes, he shouted, "Old Jiao, reel in the line, reel in the mirror in the cloud to the west of you." His cry drew our attention to the fact that on the western side of the bat, the sunlight was no longer dazzling, but reflected a variety of colors as if shining on a prism, and in front of the prism there was a small black shadow, which was shaking up and down, and the shape seemed to be a projection of a bat kite.

Jiao Er's speed of closing the line was very fast, and he ran to the side of the stone platform while shaking the wire wheel vigorously. This time, he had more experience than before, and his confidence increased, and the bat kite drew a graceful arc in the sky, crashing into the Hanzhu that reflected the colorful glow.

Jiao Er had already bowed down, and the wire wheel he held in both hands almost touched the ground, and at this moment, he actually had time to pick up the small wire door of the pigeon cage on the side of the stone platform with one foot, and more than a dozen pigeons fluttered out of their wings, and there were bursts of pigeon whistles in the air.

When the bat kite disappeared into the sling, the brief glow in mid-air had completely disappeared, and the sky had returned to its original calm. Everyone looked at Guo Erye intently, Guo Erye seemed to have not noticed the situation just now, calm as usual, just took a step back, took the reel into his arms, and began to reel in the line.

We all know that a big kite weighing nearly 100 catties with a wire wheel, even in the air, the buoyancy of the air will relatively reduce the weight of the kite, but if there is wind, the wind is still amazing for a big guy who is more than 30 meters long and has two wind bags. After all, Guo Erye is over sixty years old, and he can control it well, and we are all in a cold sweat. His two apprentices are even more inseparable, and once there is an accident, the two can rush forward at any time.

But an expert is an expert, Guo Erye looks very relaxed, like playing a set of Tai Chi with a large wire wheel in his hand, the steps are solid, each action seems to be small, but in fact, it uses the strength of the legs, waist, and abdomen, and the kite is also very stable, and it moves towards the top of the bat kite disappearing position little by little.

At this time, more than a dozen pigeons released by Jiao Er circled around Baiwang Mountain and had begun to climb, and after the second circle, they should turn to the height of Hanqi's floating. The line of the bat kite has been broken, but Jiao Er is not aware of it at all, and is still repeating the action of reeling the line, while his eyes are all fixed on the pigeon's body, and he will not take his eyes off it for a moment.

I couldn't help but admire Jiao Er in my heart. When Guo Erye and I were preparing the kite, it seemed that Jiao Er was not idle. He must have realized that the bat kite used as bait was swallowed by the pestle at a very fast speed, and he was worried that after the kite disappeared, Guo Erye lost his judgment on the position of the pestle, and was ready to use his own pigeon to set the position again.

Jiao Er put the reel on the ground, took out a whistle from his pocket, and blew it hard. The whistle was sharp and soared into the sky. When the pigeon heard the whistle, it reacted immediately, no longer flying in a horizontal column, but quickly became a column under the leadership of the head pigeon, and began to increase the flight altitude, aiming at the direction where the bat kite had just disappeared.

It was then that I noticed that the pigeons were a little different from usual, with occasional strong flashes of light on the pigeons.

"Jiao Er, you tied a mirror to the pigeon?" I finally understood Jiao Er's intentions.

Jiao Er nodded calmly, "Chang, when you made a kite two days ago, I was worried, I can do it by using a kite to draw out the kite, but to confirm its location, a kite may not be enough, I tied a small mirror to the pigeon, I hope it can be useful." Guo Erye glanced at Jiao Er in surprise, and then began to adjust the position of the centipede, preparing to manipulate the kite to swoop down.

Many things, often using the simplest methods, can produce the best results. Jiao Er's head pigeon crashed into the pestle, as if falling into a pond, and the surface of the pestle also rippled in circles, and disappeared in an instant.

Then the second, the third, and after five, Jiao Er blew the whistle again, and the remaining pigeons began to lower their altitude and continue to circle around Baiwang Mountain. I know that Jiao Er is worried that he will fly in all at once, in case of failure, the remaining pigeons can make another effort, it seems that coming back from Shennongjia, Jiao Er's mind is much more careful than before.

After the five pigeons disappeared in the invisible sling, something shocking happened. The first pigeon to enter, after disappearing into the sling, appeared in the sky in less than a few seconds, and the light reflected by the mirror appeared in the sky. It didn't look far from the ground, but I knew that at least the pigeon had flown a hundred meters away, and the mirror flashed twice before it was no longer moving. And the pigeon behind is about the same, so in this way, the size of the Han Zhu is far beyond my imagination, it is at least more than 300 meters long, what kind of creature is this?

Fortunately, my consternation did not affect Guo Erye, who was controlling the centipede kite. Guo Erye compared the position where the pigeon disappeared, the amplitude of the action continued to increase, and sometimes even half-squatted on the ground, using the weight of his body to stabilize the air posture of the kite, but it could be seen that the wind in mid-air should be getting stronger and stronger, and Guo Erye's control of the kite was becoming more and more difficult.

Guo Erye changed his posture again, took his left foot as the axis, turned his body counterclockwise, and slowly retracted the kite string with the help of the change in body shape and the movement of his steps.

The head of the centipede kite in the air sank little by little, and at this moment we all saw a long shadow faintly appearing in the air below the centipede. And Guo Erye suddenly sped up his steps, and turned around like a top in the process of retreating, and the dust on the ground under his feet rose and covered his figure. I didn't care about looking at Second Master Guo's Ling Bo footwork, and hurriedly raised my head and looked into the air.

When the centipede kite was about to fall into the coffin, it was violently pulled up a few meters by Guo Erye, and half of the kite's body and the wind pipes on both sides were hidden in the coffin and became transparent, but the plastic bag containing ash powder that fell below must have all been broken, and at the moment when the kite rushed out again, the smoke and dust exploded in mid-air and rose into the air.

Such a scene will always pale in words to describe it. On that day, all the people in Baiwang Mountain saw an incomparably huge and magnificent picture scroll between heaven and earth, and the insignificance of human beings was infinitely magnified at that moment, and the primitive mystery of nature made everything around it seem to return to the ancient wilderness.

Under the blowing of the wind, the ash dust scattered in the sky formed a long stream of smoke and dust, but it soon dispersed in all directions, and there seemed to be an invisible attraction under the smoke, and the smoke and dust quickly fell downward, tightly adsorbed on the void, and the void slowly revealed its true body.

It is estimated that it is the effect of the yang medicine powder in the ash powder, and a thin layer of water mist begins to emerge on the surface of the sling, which emits a colorful light under the irradiation of the sun, and gradually spreads, only the part covered by the light, visually it is a behemoth hundreds of meters long and dozens of meters high, like a huge jelly, and the centipede kite is like an earthworm compared to it.

Soon, the ash powder covering the surface began to penetrate into the inside of the coffin, and each particle of the ash powder seemed to be wrapped in water mist, and each water mist reflected a colorful halo, and suddenly, the sky was like a sky full of stars, very bright.

When we all looked at this wonder of the world in amazement, a new change took place in the mist, the ash powder wrapped in the mist began to sink slowly, and gradually gathered together, forming a dense vessel-like object in the body of the mist, and the shining mist beads flowed down the pipe from the top end and disappeared at the bottom of the mistle.

After about ten minutes, the ash and dust on the hammer were carried away by the mist and were never seen again, and the sky regained its blue as if nothing had happened.

Guo Erye threw down the wire wheel and sighed, "Such a big thing is hidden around us, no one knows it for thousands of years, I don't know how long it can exist." ”

That afternoon, we waited for Guo Erye to collect the kite, and then we all sat on the top of the mountain, until the sun set in the west, no one spoke, just silently looked at the sky, although we knew that it would never appear again, but still with some expectations, until the last trace of the glow faded.

In the days when human beings competed for the sky, explored the underground, and roamed the bottom of the sea, there were still many secrets around us, so close to us, and so far away. After each quest for answers, it is inevitable that it will be a little sad. (To be continued.) )
