Chapter 14: Entering the Secret Cave by Mistake
The next day, Guo Song didn't see the figure of the goshawk fierce son, maybe it was recuperating from its injuries, Guo Song didn't dare to approach its nest.
On the third day, he still didn't see the goshawk appear, and at noon on the fourth day, Guo Song couldn't hold back anymore, grabbed a vine, and slowly approached the eagle's nest.
The Eagle's Nest is a narrow cave about four feet high and two feet wide, located in the middle of the stone wall, which is actually a crack in the mountain wall.
Guo Song approached the eagle's nest for the first time, only to see that it was covered with branches, and the goshawk was lying in the nest, but its head was softly pulled outside the nest, with its feet facing the sky, Guo Song was taken aback, isn't this dead?
He hurriedly climbed into the crack of the stone and moved the goshawk's head slightly, like a rope hanging from a stone in mid-air, soft.
There are still dried blood stains on the feathers on the back of the neck, which should have been bitten off the back of the neck bone, and the fierce son struggled back to the nest, or died of serious injuries.
'Chirp! ’
Suddenly, there was a thin birdsong, Guo Song lowered his head, and found that a small eagle had come out from under the belly of the eagle, no! It should be a bald chick now, with no hair on its body, and a pair of surprisingly large eyes looking at him curiously.
Guo Song hurriedly picked up the eagle corpse, there were a total of three eaglets under it, two of them were dead, their necks were very long, and only the eaglet just now was still alive.
"Little pity, your mother is dead, what can you do?"
Guo Song put down the eagle corpse and reached out to hold the eaglet, but the eaglet pecked his fingers, and there was a sharp pain, and blood gushed out.
Guo Song hurriedly sucked with his mouth and scolded: "You little villain, I don't know what to do, I have to beat your ass hard." ”
He looked around for branches, but inadvertently found a cold light flashing in the depths of the stone crevice, Guo Song was stunned for a moment, he was not mistaken! Is that a sword?
'Chirp! ’
The eaglet jumped up and flapped its wings and ran out of the crack in the stone, Guo Song didn't care to look at the sword, grabbed it, stuffed it into his arms, and climbed the vines to the top of the mountain quickly.
'Chirp! ’
The little eagle poked its head out and looked out, but fortunately, it was honest at this time and did not come out of Guo Song's arms.
Climbing to the top of the mountain, Guo Song carefully held the eaglet in his hand and rushed towards the Taoist temple.
He has liked to raise animals since he was a child, and he has raised dogs and cats, but the most eager thing 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 I 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 ecstatic.
Guo Song ran into the Taoist temple in one go, and the fourth senior brother Ganyu, who was chopping wood, said with a smile: "Where did you catch the pheasant, it's so small, it's not enough to boil a pot of soup!" ”
"Boil, this is an eagle, the son of a fierce son, the fierce son is dead, the son has no one to raise, I plan to adopt it."
Gan Lei jumped out of the kitchen window, this thing stayed in the kitchen most of the time, he stepped forward, salivated and smiled: "This little chick is the son of the fierce son?" ”
Guo Song immediately looked at him vigilantly, "Senior brother, this eagle is mine, don't think about it!" ”
"Where will you raise an eagle, you will raise it to death, and I will raise it as a brother, I will take it as a godson, junior brother, and leave it to me."
Guo Song jumped out of the chamber lightly, and said with a solemn face: "Senior brother, this eagle is mine, I really won't let you this time." ”
Gan Lei saw that his junior brother really refused to give it to him, so he said with a stupid face: "Who is rare, I will touch one myself, the fierce son will not have only one son!" ”
"There are two more, but they are both dead, and only one is left alive."
"Forget it, I won't fight with you, I'll carry the water."
He picked up the bucket and walked away, muttering in a low voice: "Lao Tzu treats it better than his own, don't you believe that it doesn't recognize me as a father?" ”
Guo Song didn't bother to pay attention to him, and hurriedly ran back to the bedroom, put the eaglet on his bed, he thought about it, ran to the kitchen to get a dried fish, and ran back in one breath, but saw the eaglet vibrating its wings and running around the room, shouting loudly 'Chirp!' It wants to fly, but it has no feathers, and it can't.
Guo Song tore the dried fish into strips and threw it to it, and the little eaglet grabbed it, leaned back on its neck, and devoured it into its stomach.
After eating two small dried fish, the eaglet seemed to have more strength, flapping its wings and running around the room.
Ganyu leaned against the door and said with a smile: "Senior brother, it is easy to raise an eagle, it is estimated that it will fly in two or three months at most, but if you want to turn it into your own eagle, it will be difficult. ”
"Actually, it doesn't matter, it's okay if it wants to fly away, it's just that because its mother's death has something to do with me, I feel sorry in my heart, so I want to raise it, even if it makes up for my sins!"
"You have a good attitude, I suggest that you better take its nest back, the eaglet recognizes the nest, and it will stay, otherwise you can't look at it at all, and it will be taken away by the lynx."
Guo Song nodded, "Please help me take care of it, I'll go get the nest." ”
"You want me to come with you?"
"No need, help me keep an eye on it, I'm worried about that dead fat man."
Guo Song's last voice came from under the cliff, and Ganyu sighed in his heart, although he also jumped over the cliff, but he could only go down twenty zhang at most, which was too far behind his junior brother.
Guo Song jumped into the eagle's nest in a moment, and when he saw that the huge bird's nest was still there, he gently put the eagle corpse aside, thought about it, and then looked for some dirt 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 for a moment.
The sword has no hilt, only half of the sword is nailed to the stone wall, and the tip of the sword is facing outward.
What's going on?
There is only one situation where the tip of the sword is pointed outward, and that is when someone inside has pierced the stone wall with a sword, so the hilt is inside the stone wall.
"Is the inside of the stone wall empty?"
Guo Song pondered for a moment, he slowly climbed in, and kicked the stone wall fiercely, the force of this kick was at least a few hundred catties, just listen to 'boom! With a bang, a three-foot-high hole was kicked open in the stone wall, which was as thin as a plank.
Guo Song was stunned for a moment, and he smashed the surrounding stone walls one by one, and at this time, a white bone fell down violently, startling Guo Song.
I saw that there was still 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 this feathered Taoist priest was leaning against the stone wall, and he broke the stone wall by himself, and the bones of the corpse were out of balance, and of course they would fall.
"Senpai, I'm sorry!"
Guo Song hurriedly stepped into the hole with one leg, and carefully lifted the white bones up again, but 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 went in and looked, there was a slight light inside, and the white bones were in an alcove, about five feet deep and four feet wide and wide, and he could only sit cross-legged in it, and there was a big crack next to it, and there seemed to be a large stone in it, which was stuck in the crack,
The niche was full of traces of axes and chisels, which made Guo Song awe-inspired, and this niche was actually dug out little by little by this white bone senior.
He slowly walked into the alcove, through the blurred light, it turned out to be a dome-shaped cave, the bottom was black paint, I don't know how deep, there were dozens of grottoes distributed around the stone walls, some large and some small, there were rare sitting shadows inside, but it was estimated that they were all white bones.
"Who's down there?" Someone above his head suddenly asked.
This business is very familiar, Guo Song was suddenly surprised and delighted, "Master, is it you?" ”
"Guo Song?" Mu Zhenren's voice was stunned for a moment.
Soon, a rope slipped down, and Mu Zhenren said on it: "You can climb up by yourself!" I can't be separated. ”
Guo Song climbed up more than ten zhang, and sure enough, he saw Master Mu Zhenren sitting in front of a grotto, looking at him coldly.
"How did you get in?"
"Master, the fierce son is dead, and when I entered the Eagle's Nest, I found a sword embedded in the stone wall of the Eagle's Nest, which is this one."
Guo Song handed the sword in his hand to the master, and explained: "As a result, I kicked open the stone wall with one foot and found this cave. ”
Mu Zhenren quickly went down, and in a moment, he climbed up, and his face softened a lot.
"I'm strange, this cave is very hidden, and the entrance is very small, more than ten zhang long, there are many branches, like a labyrinth, no one to lead, you will never be able to enter, it turns out that this Hongji Taoist almost chiseled through the stone wall."
The hilt of the sword is engraved with the word Hongji, and I don't know what year and month it is a Taoist priest.
"Master, is this the Cave of Spiritual Silence?" Guo Song asked curiously.
Mu Zhenren sneered, "The Lingshan Cave is spread out outside, it seems to be the Immortal Cave Mansion, but in fact it is just a Taoist tomb!" ”
"But Wei Xiangu said that the Spiritual Cave is full of immortal opportunities, and there are many people who have attained the Tao."
"I didn't feel the immortal opportunity, but there are many people who have attained the Dao, Guo Song, there are a total of fifty-three feathered people here, and twenty-one of them are not rotten in the flesh, although they are not physically ascending, but they are also cultivating Dan and attaining the Dao."
Guo Song looked at a few caves, and sure enough, he found a Taoist priest with an incorruptible body, who had been feathered for hundreds of years, and his face was still lifelike, but his skin and muscles were hardened like stones, saying that he was a dry corpse, but this cave was very damp, and it was really not for any reason.
He was still at a loss, and he didn't know the preciousness of the incorruptible body, there was only one body found in the Tang Dynasty, but there were twenty-one here, and Guo Song did not have the rare treasure of things.
"Master, if the physical body is not rotten, is it true that the cultivation of Dan has attained the Tao?"
"The body is not corrupted, the soul is not destroyed, of course it is the one who has attained the Great Dao!"
Mu Zhenren beckoned to him, "Come and sit down, and have something to say to you for the teacher." ”
Guo Song sat down next to Mu Zhenren, Mu Zhenren sighed and said: "I began to arrange my own home here from the day I accepted you as an apprentice, you have also seen it, I have already chiseled two feet deep, and another one foot and three inches is enough, today you actually came in, it can be seen that there is a providence in the underworld, Sun Xianren is right, I will receive the last closed disciple ten years before Yuhua, and he will help me complete the last journey, I am still thinking about how to bring you in?" But now that you are in front of me, it can be seen that Heaven has arranged everything. ”
