Chapter 7: The Language of the Beasts
In fact, the term "taming beasts" abounded in ancient China, and it has long been passed down by ear, and it has also been mentioned in many historical records.
The so-called hunter family, at first glance, seems to have faded out of people's sight, but its animal taming skills are immortal in the family.
As early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there was such a record, there was a person named Gongzhichang, there are different statements about this person, some say that he is from Qi State, and some say that he is from Lu State, and the specific person will not mention it for the time being, saying that he is smart and clever and loves to learn and inquire, is known to be knowledgeable, diligent and thrifty, and will have a special ability.
Bird language.
In other words, you can talk to birds.
It's amazing, how many people in the world can talk to animals?
It is said that he often walked on the road, chatting with the birds on the branches of the trees on the side of the road, chatting about the spirit, chatting about the next big things, and from then on he would tame the birds.
Further along, Fuxi Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan and other ancient people also have records of taming wild beasts, and even now there is a story of "Fuxi taming the six beasts" in the "Three Character Classic".
In ancient records, the Yellow Emperor knew how to tame animals, he once domesticated tigers, leopards, bears, Pixiu, and even used pandas as mounts to fight with Emperor Yan and won the victory.
In addition, there is also Boyi of the Xia Dynasty who is also proficient in animal taming, and even leaves a saying that "Boyi is a Yu, managing the birds and beasts of mountains and rivers", as well as the two clans of "Fenglong Clan" and "Yulong Clan", it is said that they can control dragon creatures, and many dragons fly to their side, and they have also won the favor of Shun.
In fact, this Fenglong clan is the ancestor of the surname Dong now, and the Yulong clan is the ancestor of the surname Liu.
What's more, during the Qing Dynasty, because the royal family liked to raise animals, especially fierce beasts and beasts, so Zeng specially organized a special organization called "Weizi Camp", their whereabouts were mysterious, taking care of the royal zoo, and it was the most powerful organization with animal taming technology at that time.
All these records show that people in ancient times were good at taming animals, mastering various animal taming skills, and using beasts to do various things.
And now the old man who saved my brother is said to have superb beast taming skills in his hands, and he knows the language of beasts.
This is not an ordinary skill, a person who understands the language of beasts, but if he understands one of them, it is not easy, it is amazing, he who can understand a hundred beasts, is not that the real king of beasts?
The old man's room was not very large, but it was full of all kinds of wild beasts, snakes in the cupboards, spiders under the bed, monkeys on the chairs, birds on the table, and these animals were as close to him as family.
I can also help grow vegetables and clean up my things.
When it rains, monkeys can help with an umbrella, snakes can help watch a house, birds can help send a message, and when you get up in the morning, even spiders can help tidy up the table.
Usually these things are at home, as if he had hired a nanny, and according to my brother, during the days when he lived with the old man, monkeys and snakes took care of him every day, and the old man had nothing else to do except grow vegetables and repair the house.
When my brother was almost ready, the old man threw him an axe and asked the monkey to take him to the mountains to cut wood.
The old man told him that you want to live here, but we only have one bed, and now that we are healed and want to sleep, we should make our own bed, and don't sleep in my place.
But how could my brother have the heart to live at that time, when something like this happened at home, who knows if the family is alive or dead?
He told the old man that he was going down the mountain, and the old man didn't stop him and let him go, but as a result, no matter how my brother walked along the road and in the mountains, he would always turn back in the end, and he couldn't go out at all.
He went away in the morning, and turned back again in the evening, and he could see the monkey and the snake waiting for him at the door of the hut from afar, and when he pushed the door in, he sat down, and the old man knew that he would come back when he had made his portion.
After eating and sleeping, the next day I kept going, set out in the morning, came down in a circle, and turned back in the evening, and when I got to the place, I saw a monkey and a snake waiting at the door.
This went on for a few days, and finally my brother couldn't get out, so he gave up.
The old man told him that there is a certain number of hits, and it is useless for you to be in a hurry, do you know why you can't go down the mountain? It's because it's not time for you to go down the mountain, and when the time comes, no one will stop you, and you won't need guidance, and you'll find your way out.
My brother asked who this old man was, and why he had saved him and brought him to such a place.
The old man said, it doesn't matter who I am, the important thing is that your family is destined for me, so I saved you and brought you here, which is my selfishness and your blessing, I died after eight years, but unfortunately I have no children under me, and no one can answer the words of the beast that has been passed down from generation to generation, so I am ready to pass it on to you.
My brother was stunned when he heard this, he didn't question the old man's ability to tame beasts, after all, he had seen it these days, but he was curious about the old man's sentence "I will die in eight years", how do you know that you will die in eight years? Why?
When I asked the old man, he just smiled and didn't say a word, so he asked my brother if he would like to learn this skill.
My brother thought about it for a while, and thought that if you don't learn, don't learn, and when the time comes, you can learn it, and it will be considered a skill, so I agreed.
This old man is also very strange, saying that his animal taming skills are not taught by words and deeds.
From ancient times to the present, this collection of beast tamers, all of them have been passed down from generation to generation, endlessly, there are men and women, old and young, different identities, there are people in plain white cloth, there are also princes and generals, there are heroes who are used to do chivalry, there are also evildoers who do evil, and there are people who have no one in their lives, under different dynasties, each has its own, but it is noncommittal, learning the language of the beasts, is the real king of the beasts, and can lead the whereabouts of the beasts and the world.
Now that the age has come to him, it is already the three hundred and fifty-ninth generation.
He didn't have any great skills, nor did he have any ambitions, he just tamed animals in the mountains and kept them for fun, and never used them for anything else.
My brother heard him say that he has a nose and eyes, so he asked him how to learn since he didn't teach by word and deed?
The old man was very interesting and said that he relied on eating Jindan.
My brother is stupid, and he says what nonsense are you talking about, old man? What years do you still eat Jindan, I can talk to animals after eating, I didn't finish high school, but do you think I'm a fool?
The old man was not angry, and said with a smile that the law of the language of the hundred beasts has always been the only one, extracting the golden pill from the body of the previous person, and then giving it to the next person to eat, and then practicing it for a long time, you can control it, as for the high ground of control, it depends on the individual's talent.
When my brother heard this, he couldn't cry or laugh, and asked him if this was the case, where was the Jindan?
The old man frowned when he heard this, his face began to be a little difficult, according to common sense, he ate the golden pill of his predecessors, this golden pill has always been in the body, even if it is dissolved, it can be condensed through luck.
To extract the golden pill, you must gather enough of the five beasts of the five attributes of "gold, wood, water, fire and earth", boil the soup with their blood and bones, and you can't eat and drink within three days after drinking, and concentrate your energy every day, and transport the breath in your body to a place, and then the golden pill will be formed in the body and spit out.
The beasts with the five attributes of "gold, wood, water, fire, and earth" are not difficult to find, gold is with crustaceans, wood is birds flying in the air, fire is forest beasts, water is fish, and soil is insects.
After the five creatures find it, boil a pot of soup and drink it, condense the qi for three days, gather all the breath in the body, and in the early morning three days later, open the mouth and stick out the tongue to spit out, that is, the so-called Qi Shen Dantian, as soon as it is lucky, it will spit out the golden pill.
The old man said that the golden pill had been in his body for decades, and it had already dissolved, and when he was condensing, he might have had a hard time because he had a bad grasp of his breath and was unstable, so he couldn't use all his qi in a ball, but when he spit it out, two beads came out!
The color in these two beads is dull, which means that the breath inside is not pure and condensed enough, and to put it bluntly, it is a defective product, why? It was originally a strong group, but it was forced to be divided into two groups, and it was split apart, can it still work?
This old man blames himself for being sorry for his ancestors, and it has been passed down from generation to generation, but when he came to him, there was such a fork, and he was ashamed of his ancestors!
As he spoke, he began to burst into tears.
My brother couldn't persuade him, so he said that he should simply eat the two together, the old man said no, this Jindan Qi, once separated, it will become a separate individual, not symbiotic, two together, it is very easy to be chaotic in the body, if you really eat it, vomit blood and die in two days, no wonder he.
My brother was so frightened that he didn't dare to eat it, so he only ate one, and for eight years he continued to practice communicating with the beast.
Eight years later, the old man did as he had said, and the old man was gone, and the beasts that had been tamed before were scattered.
After my brother buried the old man, he came down from the mountain again, and never went back again, and he thought to himself, this is probably the time when the old man said.
And now he took that other golden pill, traveled thousands of miles, and found me.
