Shen Qiu followed Ai Dacha out of the inn and galloped for miles at night until he came to a small barren mountain.

This Ai Dacha has no murderous aura, and there is also a sense of depression.

Probably because he encountered something bad, Shen Qiu didn't ask much, since he didn't have any malicious intentions, he just followed.

On the top of the small barren mountain, Ai Dacha stopped, and the cloud-piercing beast roared in the dark night overhead, and the fierce crested eagle gathered its wings and landed on a dead branch of a mountain cliff.

By the moonlight, Shen Qiu saw that there was a big bird's nest on the branch.

"I've been busy these days, so I don't have time to take care of this beast."

Qingyang Demon Lord looked at the bird's nest, his eyes were full of irritability, and he said to Shen Qiu:

"But unexpectedly, this cloud-piercing beast actually carried Lao Tzu on its back, intersected with some miscellaneous birds, and caused human death... No, bird life. ”

"Ga"

Hearing the master's reprimand, the Cloud Piercing Beast standing on the branch quacked, as if to express dissatisfaction.

was glared at by Ai Dacha, and turned his head sideways as if he was in a loss.

The crested eagle is a Momen spirit animal, quite human, it didn't dare to look at Ai Dacha, so it lowered its head and let out a mournful roar.

It seems to be begging for mercy.

The Demon Lord was also a little irritated by his unruly pet, he sat on the ground and said to Shen Qiu, who was holding back a smile:

"You, this kid, have also been in contact with Momen, so you naturally know that domesticating crested eagles within Momen is a sect secret and cannot be passed on.

This crested eagle chick is only available in Mocheng, in order to ensure that the bloodline is pure and not stained with mixed blood.

The crested eagle has a very long lifespan, as long as it does not encounter accidents, it is easy to live for a jiazi, and there are even crested eagles in Mocheng that have lived for more than a hundred years, which is the real spirit beast in the world. ”

Ai Dacha rubbed his forehead with a headache, and he explained to Shen Qiu:

"This strange beast has a long life, and it is quite difficult to give birth, but Lao Tzu, the male bird, is fine, once every three years, he can come into heat and lay eggs with the female.

But the female bird lays up to two eggs at a time, and not every one of them survives.

But this brute! ”

The Demon Lord scolded his crested eagle again, as if he hated it, and he said in a vicious voice:

"I don't know what miscellaneous feathered birds I found, and they laid so many eggs at once.

It was afraid of me, and it was going to hide it from Lao Tzu, but Lao Tzu wanted to take it back to Guangxi, so he panicked. ”

Ai Dacha waved his hand, and between the skillful hand, the bird's nest was taken into his hand and landed firmly in the palm of Ai Dacha's hand.

Shen Qiu stepped forward to take a look, and there were more than a dozen eggs in the bird's nest.

It is the size of a pigeon's egg, with spots like the black feathers of a crested eagle on its white skin, much like a quail egg.

No wonder Ai Dacha is so irritable.

This is thousands of miles away from Qilu to Guangxi, even if Ai Dacha martial arts are all over the sky, there is no way to take so many eggs on the road together.

"It is estimated that this miscellaneous bird has laid eggs for more than twenty days, and it will hatch in more than ten days, but even if it barely hatches, it is definitely not as powerful and psychic as the pure-blooded crested eagle.

Lao Tzu wanted to smash these eggs, but this flat-haired beast begged bitterly..."

Ai Dacha stretched out his hand and gently stroked those little eggs that were still warm, and there was also a touch of tenderness in his big and small eyes.

He said:

"Besides, they are all pure and flawless lives, not stained with the dust of the world, and not stained with material desires, how can they be destroyed in the hands of Lao Tzu?"

He raised his head, looked at Shen Qiu with big eyes, and said:

"Lao Tzu will give you these eggs, so that you can take care of them."

"The normal eggs of crested eagles are the size of a fist, and these eggs are so small that they are difficult to hatch.

But if it can really hatch out, with the blood of Lao Tzu, it can also make the chicks more powerful than ordinary birds.

It's not a nest of spirit animals. ”

The Demon Lord handed the big bird's nest to Shen Qiu, and he said:

"It's just that Lao Tzu asked you to send Xiuhe to Liaodong as a reward, but this crested eagle bloodline is quite complicated, Lao Tzu only said it once, you listen well!"

There was a hint of joy in Shen Qiu's eyes.

When he first saw the crested eagle of Momen, he was quite envious, and asked Mohei if he could buy one.

But it was a Momen spirit animal, how could outsiders get it?

Only then did he extinguish his thoughts, and now there is this degraded spirit beast sent to the door, although according to Ai Dacha, this bird is definitely not as good as the crested eagle when it grows up.

But it is also a bird of prey, which is much better than the carrier pigeons commonly used in the rivers and lakes.

"If the chick can really be bred, it should be fed special Gu worms, so that it can give birth to spiritual wisdom from an early age.

This crested eagle grows very fast, it can grow into a big bird in two months, and at most four months, it can spread its wings and fly, but when it grows, it must be strengthened every day with pure and pure qi. ”

Ai Dacha advised:

"Momen has its own set of internal skills for domesticating chicks, but I don't know either.

However, Lao Tzu has tried, and it is okay to use other true qi, but it must be carefully taken care of, and it must not hurt the body.

It has grown up with you since childhood, and when it can soar, it will recognize you as the master, and it does not need to be like an eagle.

And because of the true qi raised, it will also be more domineering and fierce than other birds of prey, if you know how to train dogs, you can draw gourds according to the scoop to train eagles. ”

The Demon Lord stood up and hooked his finger at the Cloud Piercing Beast that was looking at him sneakily.

The latter let out a cry of joy and landed on his master's arm, where he was struck on the head by Ai Dacha.

The spirit beast lowered its eyebrows and didn't dare to dodge, so it rubbed Ai Dacha's arm with its head very obediently, and the right to be soft.

"If you train well, you will be able to communicate with you like me, a cloud-piercing beast."

Ai Dacha waved his hand and said to Shen Qiu:

"That's it, get out. Lao Tzu is annoyed when he sees you now! ”

Shen Qiu didn't leave, he touched the nest in his arms, and said to Ai Dacha:

"The special Gu worms that the young birds eat, the Demon Lord may give me some? You see, all the eggs have been given, just a few Gu worms, and the Demon Lord won't be so stingy, right? ”

"Huh"

Ai Dacha sneered, ignored Shen Qiu, and turned around to leave.

"Demon Lord, I gave you so many ideas along the way, and I didn't ask you for money."

Shen Qiu shouted:

"You see that my relationship is close to the point where I can entrust my pet bloodline, so it's convenient."

"Who has a good relationship with you?"

Ai Dacha scolded:

"Don't have a friendship with Lao Tzu!"

But having said that, he hesitated for a moment, then threw a small porcelain vase to Shen Qiu and said:

"Add some fresh flesh and blood to it every day, don't expose it to the sun, and don't see water, this Gu worm can give birth to more every day, enough to raise chicks."

After speaking, he swept into the night with the sound of eagles, and after a few ups and downs, he disappeared without a trace.

Shen Qiu also returned to the inn with a nest of bird eggs as quickly as possible, and woke up the remaining three people and said this.

"It's a great opportunity."

Shen Qiu said to his three siblings:

"I might as well wait for ten days, after the chicks hatch, each person will be assigned one, and there will be no need to trouble others for such things as sending letters from the south and north of the world in the future."

Of course, everyone had no opinion.

Even the mountain ghosts who were in a hurry to return to Taihang agreed to come down.

He also likes this kind of strange beast very much, and more importantly, if he can have the help of a spirit beast, it will be much more convenient to kill the people of the Northern Dynasty in Taihang Mountain.

In this way, ten days later, at night, a chick finally broke out of its shell.

In the past ten days, in addition to practicing every day, Shen Qiu has constantly wrapped the bird's eggs with Xueji True Qi, trying to make more broken hatchlings.

But even so, there were only six chicks that broke out of their shells in the end.

The remaining nine eggs were all dead.

Before the eyes of the newborn chicks were opened, they made a weak cry like a chick, as if they were hungry and waiting to be fed.

Shen Qiu took out the Gu worms given by Ai Dacha, carefully picked up a few Gu worms that were like maggots but gray all over with tweezers made of bamboo, and fed a few fluffy chicks with gray fluff all over their bodies.

Qingqing's eyes lit up as she watched from the side, and when a few chicks had eaten and drunk enough, and rested in the nest, she said to her senior brother:

"One for each of the three of you, I will keep three for each person, and I will bring them back to Luoyang, give one to Shiyin, and I will raise the remaining two by myself."

"Okay."

Shen Qiu didn't care, he picked a female bird, and the mountain ghost and Xiao Tie also picked one each.

Crested eagle bloodlines have a hard time giving birth.

But as long as it breaks out of its shell, the chick is much tougher than the chicks of other birds, and as long as the food keeps up with it, and with the cultivation of true qi, they can grow rapidly.

"Early tomorrow morning, Xiao Tie and I will go to Weihai and take a boat there to Liaodong."

Shen Qiu put the chick in the palm of his hand and wrapped it in true qi, and the little thing made a comfortable cry, moved, and fell into a deep sleep again.

He said to the mountain ghosts who were doing the same thing:

"Brother Lao, escort Qingqing to Luoyang."

"My own family, it should be like this."

The mountain ghost responded, back and forth with the same sentence.

Early the next morning, with Qingqing waving his hand, Shen Qiu and Xiao Tie rode horses, said goodbye to the mountain ghost and Qingqing, and went to Weihai, while the mountain ghost and Qingqing wanted to go all the way to the northwest and go to Jinan Mansion to take a boat back to Luoyang.

I don't know how long it will be before I can see each other again.

--------------

In the city of Jinan, in the mansion of the government order, Weihou Zhao Lian was sitting in the garden drinking tea, and had just communicated with the Jinan government order and received a gift from the dexterous person.

Weihou was originally a general of the unified army and a member of the royal family, and he had just won a big victory against the Northern Dynasties, and it was the time to be proud.

When he came to Jinan, the government order was naturally well entertained.

But Weihou was not very willing to deal with this Jinan government order.

Jinan Mansion is the best place in Qilu, very close to the territory of the Northern Dynasties, this city can be so stable in recent years, and it is indispensable to communicate with the Northern Dynasties.

It is said that this Jinan government order, a few years ago, also sold the displaced people to the Northern Dynasty, if it is a peaceful era, such an act will definitely be to raid the family and exterminate the clan.

But now it is a troubled time, the Jinan government order did not explicitly surrender to the enemy, and also saved the people of a city, and it is inconvenient for Weihou to say more.

But as a soldier, he naturally looks down on such people.

A short time later, a man wearing a long robe and a mask came to meet Weihou.

Zhao Lian met him in the garden.

"Shifeng, this time you can drive away the evil army of the Northern Dynasties, and you can also settle the matter of Qilu in a battle, all thanks to your full help."

Wei Hou held the tea bowl and said to the man in front of him with a smile:

"Ben Hou wants to keep you a partial general, if you don't want to go to the battlefield again, you can also be an official in the army, and you can also help Ben Hou in the future, sit in Qilu, in case the Northern Dynasty attacks, how about it?"

"Thank you, Lord Xie."

The voice of the ghost book's life and death came from under the mask.

He saluted with a fist at Weihou, and between his movements, he could still see the terrible scars left by the burns on his hands.

He said:

"But Shi Feng is born to be a non-village person, and death is also a non-village ghost, in this life, he will not go elsewhere, and he will go to the Hou Ye to allow me to leave, but he will be alive."

"Oh, Ben Hou said at the time, if you want to leave, Ben Hou will never stop you."

Weihou was not angry.

He put down the teaglass, stood up, and said to Wu Shifeng:

"Shifeng, if you want to leave, you can go, but I regret your talent and strategy.

Ben Hou also heard that when the hatred was uneven, he wanted you to pacify the big and small bandits in Qilu within ten years, well, this is the words of peace and stability.

It's just that Shifeng, you have left the mansion, and you don't have a foil by your side, so you go to suppress the bandits alone, I'm afraid that your future will be unknown, and it will also be a waste of time. ”

Wei Hou touched his white beard and said to the ghost scholar:

"I know that you are righteous, and I will not persuade you to surrender.

In this way, I will give you the name of 'Qilu Suppression of Bandits', and allow you to recruit exiles in the land of Qilu, and also give you soldiers and grass.

If there are still people in the army, I am willing to leave with you, and I will not stop you.

If there is no banditry, the land of Qilu can also be more stable, which is beneficial to the Yu Dynasty, and it will not be blocked. Just if you want to suppress bandits, you must do it with your heart. ”

Zhao Lian turned around, played with two iron beads in his hand, and said to Wu Shifeng:

"That feud is also a hero in the world, I am waiting to obey him, and I have ordered the people in the army not to harass the old land of Qinglong Mountain, and it will be assigned to you as a place to suppress bandits.

Ben Hou asked you one last question, are you willing to accept this official position of suppressing the long history of bandits? ”

Wu Shifeng stood behind Wei Hou.

It can be seen that he is very hesitant and very entangled.

He knew that taking over this official position meant that he had essentially surrendered to the Southern Dynasty, and in the future, the people in the rivers and lakes would also scold him as a lackey of the court and a treacherous man.

But he thought of his eldest brother's words before leaving...

That was the last task that the eldest brother gave him, a negligible repayment he could make for his sins, and even so, why bother with it?

If you are loyal, you know it.

Whatever others like to say, just say it!

The ghost book grows a sigh of relief.

He clenched his fist again at Weihou and said:

"Xiaguan, I accepted the grace of the Hou Ye, and thank the Hou Ye, all my loyalty."

Not long after, Wu Shifeng, who was wearing a suit of armor, walked out of the mansion, turned over and got on his horse, he raised his head and looked at the top of his head, under the mask, there was a cold chill in his eyes.

"Big brother, second brother..."

"When I have done this last thing, I will go after you. I waited for this Qilu fourteen years of heinous troubles, such regrets, I will pay back the two brothers. ”

"Smack"

With a whipped down, the black war horse neighed and carried the ghost scholar away.

He has no fear of life and death in his heart, only liberation.

"Yes and wrong, all the brothers..."

"I'll wait, see you in Huangquan."
