It was the end of August again, and the west wind rose.

The old man got up early and waited at the entrance of the Eagle Hunting Village, which was the only way to go to the falconry field, and he had been waiting here for more than 20 years.

No one knew his name, but everyone called him Old Man Zhiying because he was very familiar with the falconry field.

Every September, a large number of people come from all over the world to Xiliang Falcon.

You must know that a good eagle is worth more than one hundred taels of silver, and even an eagle egg can be sold for two taels of silver.

This deal is definitely the most cost-effective deal in the world.

However, the money that is easy to make is relatively risky, and there are not 10,000 people who die in the falconry every year, but there are 8,000, but this still can't stop the greed of the falconers.

For this reason, the old man waited at the entrance of the village to tell each falconer who came here what he knew.

After a long time, all the people of Xiliang knew about this old man who knew the eagle, and even his legend was spread in other countries, and everyone admired his persistence and kindness.

In this world, there are always people who insist on doing what he thinks is meaningful, just like this old man.

After crossing the grassland, Xue Mulan slowed down the horse, and when she reached the entrance of the village, she saw the old man.

"Hello, young man." The old man greeted warmly, "Are you going to falcon?" ”

"yes." Xue Mulan replied, "You are the old man of Zhiying." ”

Xiangyang City was originally the closest city to Xiliang in the Southern Dynasty, and most of the falconers in the Southern Dynasty were also in Xiangyang, so Xue Mulan had heard of this old man.

"It's me, it's me." The old man was more polite to those who knew him, and he said, "What are you going to catch eagles?" ”

In the falconry field of Xiangyang, the most common are Haidongqing and golden eagles, which are very fierce.

"We're going to catch the Eagle King." Xue Mulan said, "Do you know where the Eagle King is? ”

"Eagle King?" The old man's eyes widened suddenly, he had been here for more than twenty years, and it was the first time he had heard that someone was going to catch the Eagle King.

"You're not kidding." He asked.

"Of course it's true." Bianliang interjected, he liked the feeling of surprise.

"I advise you not to go." The old man's expression was a little gloomy.

Back then, his father's team was killed under the claws of the Eagle King, and of more than 20 people, he was the only one who lived.

He will never forget that the Eagle King grabbed two people and took off, and at the same time he could peck people to death with his beak, first pecking in the eyes and then in the heart and liver, which was extremely cruel.

"Don't worry, I'm good at fighting." Bianliang stretched out his fist and spun twice under the old man's nose.

Xue Mulan gave him another blank look, but it was a pity that Bianliang sat in front of her, this white eye was a waste, she said, "Old man, can you tell us how to find the Eagle King?" We'll be careful. ”

"Okay." The old man began to recall:

This village is called Eagle Hunting Village, but in reality there are very few people who hunt eagles, and most of them make a living by raising horses and eagles.

There is a vacant lot in front of the village, which is fenced with a bamboo fence, and there are many eagles raised by the villagers for outsiders to catch, so it is also called the eagle hunting field.

After the falconry field, there is a small forest, and in the middle of the forest there is a falconry camp, which is the camp where the army sent by Hu Guo is stationed, there are not many people, mainly archers, and the falconers can get all kinds of supplies there.

Out of the forest, there is a large open plain, and that is the falconry field.

Most of the eagles' nests are in the big trees in the forest, and the forest where the falconry camp is located is called the Passerby Forest.

Most of the eagles here fly from other places, and their attack power is not strong, and they are also the main targets of falconers.

The forest over the falconry field is called the Forest of Death, and the eagles in it are all local eagles in Xiliang, also known as territorial eagles.

The eagle is a very fierce bird, and has a strong sense of territory, and there are more eagles in the territory here, there will be a fight, and in the end, the strongest one is the Eagle King, and all the territorial eagles are under the orders of the Eagle King.

They are characterized by teamwork, so the area near the Forest of Death in the falconry field, where the territorial eagles haunt, has the highest number of deaths each year.

However, the Eagle King is not in the Death Forest, and if you want to see the Eagle King, you must find a way through the Death Forest.

After the past, there will be a small canyon, there are very few people there, the old man happened to go there back then, there is called the Shura Field, and the forest behind the Shura Field is the forest where the Eagle King is located, is the Shura Forest.

"Don't underestimate the Territorial Eagle." The old man told them, but he did not continue to persuade them, because he knew that it was a fool's dream for two people to want to cross the forest of death.

Falcon Field, in Xiliang, there is money to take, but there is no life to spend, what is said is that there are eagles everywhere, and there is money everywhere, but if you take this money, you will die at any time.

"Thank you." Xue Mulan gently pinched the horse's belly, and the horse ran forward again.

Because it was in the village, Xue Mulan didn't let the horse run fast.

After entering the village, the first thing you see is a variety of round stone houses, the houses are not high, and the roofs are made of cowhide.

The people of Xiliang were originally nomadic and lived in yurts, but after the founding of the Hu State, the roof of the yurt was retained, but the walls were changed to stone.

Rows of round houses were built there, and they looked weird, and even stranger were the eagles pecking at rice in front of the houses, like chickens.

Xiliang people do not raise chickens, only eagles.

On the side of the road, there were also some Xiliang people holding their hands and shouting for the falcons standing in their hands, all the size of a bull's head, and their wings were spread, which could cover half of the Xiliang people's bodies.

In the distance, many eagles hovered in the air, and from time to time they could be seen swooping down, punishing hares and other prey under their talons, and the falconer would come forward to grab the prey and take a piece of fresh meat from his pocket and feed it to his falcon.

"That's a good thing." Bianliang sighed.

This has to raise ten or eight, and the family can have food while lying down, no wonder the falcon is so expensive.

He was thinking about catching a few more eagles this time, when a few people suddenly burst out of the village, shouting, "Horse thief, catch horse thief!" ”

Who is so lacking in virtue and stealing other people's things, he was about to scold, but suddenly thought of something, and turned his head to look at Xue Mulan.

Xue Mulan also thought about it, but she didn't panic much, she didn't have no money, she just couldn't find the owner on the horse farm, so she would wait for the owner to find it and pay again.

However, she underestimated the folk customs of the Xiliang people, which were quite strong, and when a few people ran in front of her, many people ran out of the houses in the village and surrounded them.

"I'm sorry, guys." The two jumped off the horse, and Xue Mulan hugged his fists at the people who came up and said, "We came from afar, passing by the racecourse, because we couldn't find the boss, so we borrowed one first, and made it clear first, we are definitely not horse thieves." ”

A middle-aged man with pigtails said, "You obviously stole the horse, and you still want to deny it?" ”

"That's it, that's it!" The people next to him were in a hurry,

Someone said, "Arrest them to the county seat and ask the county magistrate to send them down." ”

Some people also said, "Xiliang horses dare to steal, and they have to be beaten up so that they can remember it for a long time." ”

。。。。。。

For a while, the gossip became, and the more he talked, the more outrageous it became, and in the end, the people who shouted to kill the head came out.

Bian Liang hurriedly took out a silver ticket of thirty taels, raised his hands above his head, and showed his sincerity to the people around him.

Wherever the silver ticket went, there was no sound at once.

Xiliang horse is a horse, and Xiliang horse is not cheap, but thirty taels of silver is enough to buy two horses, even if it is the owner of the horse, the pigtail took the silver ticket, and immediately changed his face, "Since this brother is so sincere, forget about it." ”

Xue Mulan was very angry, she said, "Why give them so much money." ”

She didn't care about spending more money, she was so angry by the words of the gang just now that she almost drew her sword.

"Eldest sister, do you need to kill someone if you can solve something that silver can solve? They are just ordinary people. Bianliang explained.

He had never killed a person since he crossed over, because he felt that killing someone was a very, very cruel thing, and it was something his memory could not accept.

However, he can't accept it, it doesn't mean that everyone is like this, in fact, in this world, killing people is something that many people don't care about, and chasing souls is one of them.

The black feather arrow unique to the soul chaser shot into the pigtail's chest, but the smile ended with the silver ticket still in his hand.

He killed pigtails just because they offended Miss, and it wasn't the first time he had done something like this.

He won't ask the young lady what he means before he starts, as a personal soldier, he is the most loyal dog around the master, and whoever is disrespectful to the master will bite him to death.

The crowd was in an uproar immediately, some cried, some ran, and more shouted and shouted for revenge.

But the problem is that they can't find a target for revenge, and the soul chaser shoots this arrow from the forest.

However, it was not only the villagers who were not calm at this time, after Xue Mulan saw the arrow, she also lost her mind and shouted, "Beasts come out!" I'll kill you! ”

When Bianliang heard it, it was too bad, originally the villagers couldn't find the enemy, and they wouldn't trouble them, this shout showed that the enemy was known to them, so the villagers couldn't find the soul chase, and they would definitely find trouble with them.

This trouble does not refer to what the villagers will do to them, because Xue Mulan's words explain their position, and they are not friends with soul chasing, but enemies.

The trouble is that the villagers will ask them to provide information about the murderer, and they don't know where the ghost is being chased.

Sure enough, the rioting villagers stopped collecting the ropes and immediately surrounded the two of them again.

"You're mistaken, the soul-chasing arrow is not this color!" Bian Liang wanted to get out of trouble, so he said this deliberately, and winked at Xue Mulan after speaking.

Xue Mulan ignored her, drew his sword in his hand, strode forward, and rushed directly towards the forest.

With her eyesight, she could tell the general direction of the archer from the direction of the arrow.

The villagers could feel the murderous aura on her body, and some people had slowed down, but after all, there were a few people who were not long-eyed, blocking Xue Mulan's sprint.

As a result, those people were knocked away, and Xue Mulan was like a vengeful rhinoceros, breaking through the encirclement of the villagers.

Bianliang was not so lucky, he didn't crash into it, but he couldn't do it.

Since he learned of his strength, he has been deliberately restrained, from Xinye to Tongguan, from Tongguan to Hanzhong, until the moment of life and death, he chose not to make a move.

Especially in the face of a group of villagers, the villagers who seem to be very simple and united.

"Uncles, uncles, big brothers, big sisters." Bian Liang shouted a long list of names, and found that there were still a few children who were not included, and he couldn't care about it, because he was surrounded at the moment, and Xue Mulan had already entered the forest.

"Don't squeeze, don't squeeze, rest assured." Bian Liang tried his best to take out a few silver tickets from his pocket and said, "I still have forty taels of silver left, I will be here with you, you let me go into the forest, catch the murderer, you give it back to me, if you can't catch the murderer, you use the silver to do the funeral for the dead master." ”

Sure enough, he was rich and easy to do, and as soon as the silver ticket in his hand came out, everyone grabbed the silver ticket.

"This lazy thing." Bianliang reluctantly picked up his bags and walked towards the forest.

His second brother, is this grudge really that deep? He couldn't figure it out.
