"What does it smell like?"

There are many smells on the mountain, and Hua Lan closes her eyes and carefully discerns them.

The fresh air peculiar to the mountains is mixed with the smell of wild feathers, and if you smell it carefully, there is no more peculiar smell.

She had always been curious about the old goblin in the mouth of the stinky sock master, what it would be, so she asked, "Master, does the old goblin smell like a dead goblin?" ”

"Well, it's the white sparrow, and it's the old goblin's favorite food. If you catch a white sparrow, you will definitely be able to attract the old goblin out. ”

The stinky sock stone cave sniffed cautiously: "There are the most white finches on the White Feather Peak, and if you stay here, there will definitely be an old goblin." ”

Hua Lan was angry, and dared to spend so much effort to climb this mountain to catch the white sparrow, and the old goblin had no shadow left.

The stinky sock master is right, only by catching the white finch can the old goblin be lured.

But is this white finch so easy to catch?

Hua Lan couldn't help twitching the corners of her mouth, and she looked at Jinse on the side very deliberately.

This task can only be to look forward to Miss Jinse, but her eyes fell on Jinse's face, and she was deflated.

Jin Se didn't look at her at the moment, the sound of the stream in the distance attracted her attention, as if every word that the stinky sock master said did not enter her hearing.

Alas.

Hua Lan sighed in her heart, turned her face and wanted to discuss secretly with King Shou'an, and as soon as she looked away, she saw that King Shou'an had already taken Tian Ji in the direction of the sound of the water.

Hua Lan listened to the sound of running water, which was higher than the speed of knocking down, probably a small waterfall.

King Shou'an walked in the direction of flowing water, and Jin Se immediately took steps to chase after him.

Hua Lan looked at the stinky sock master and said in her heart: "Master, our master and apprentice are isolated." “

The stinky socks master didn't think so, he touched his chin and looked into the red pine forest: "Apprentice, move your little head, quickly think of a way for the teacher, how can you catch these cunning white sparrows?" ”

"Master?"

The orchids are about to cry, and the white finch is a bird, with wings, and it flies around. Don't say it's caught, it's very difficult to find a shadow in such a large forest, Master, you can't do anything with such a big ability, ask me what tricks I can have? She had no choice but to pout aggrievedly, "Master, the apprentice doesn't know martial arts." ”

"Hey, you can't do martial arts. These little guys are so clever that they can smell people from afar, and it's hard to catch them. ”

The stinky socks and stone cave's chin were almost touched, and Hua Lan looked at the rare little white beards on his chin and realized a little.

"Master, have you touched it?"

Hua Lan looked at King Shou'an and Jin Se, who were gradually leaving, and hesitated to say to the stinky sock master: "Master, how big is the white sparrow, have you caught the white finch before, and what method did you use before?" ”

"Hey, didn't you have your senior brother before, he has always been doing these things."

Master Smelly Socks suddenly sighed and said in frustration.

"I still have a senior brother?"

Hua Lan nodded, it turned out to be like this, so she asked curiously: "Master, where is Senior Brother now, is he very powerful?" ”

Alas!

The stinky socks master was asked by Hua Lan, and his eyes flashed with sadness, he wiped the water flashing in his eyes, looked at the depths of the red pine forest sadly, and sighed: "Your senior brother is too old, and the master is also lacking in skills." ”

"Senior brother is too old, and he has no skills to return to heaven?"

Hua Lan was stunned by this sentence, what does this mean? Could it be that the apprentices that Master accepts are older than Master's age?

She was puzzled in her heart, and asked without thinking, "Senior brother is really old, could it be that he has something that even the master can't cure?" ”

"Yes, too! It's too old, and the life limit has arrived. ”

The tears in the eyes of the stinky socks master were still flashing, his hand kept wiping the corners of his eyes, and he couldn't help sighing: "I said apprentice, your senior brother is too old." How to cure the old disease, it can't be cured. Your brother's wings are too old to fly, and it's hard to stand. You say, how is Master going to treat it, how is it going to be treated? ”

He looked up to the sky sadly and sighed, "Alas, there is no way to return to heaven!" ”

Hua Lan finally understood that the senior brother was not older than the master, but had wings.

With wings, what can it be?

What else could it be, it would never be a bat, and what could catch the white finch must be a fast, fast-moving feathered bird, which doesn't live long, what kind of bird could it be?

"Master, is the senior brother you are talking about an eagle, or a parrot, or some other bird?"

Hua Lan's face was full of curiosity and asked.

"It's a flower owl."

The stinky sock master looked at Hua Lan very sadly, "You must have a surname, a surname Hua." When the master came up with this name at that time, he didn't think much about it, who knew that by chance, the junior brother of the flower owl would also be surnamed Hua, this is really the creation of heaven and earth, the creation of heaven and earth. ”

"Huh?"

Hua Lan is confused, what kind of heaven and earth creation, senior brother can't be an owl, right?

The owl is also known as the flower owl, and its longest lifespan is more than 50 years. If the stinky sock cave is true, this owl is really old enough.

The owl's eyes are sensitive to light, and generally do not come out during the day, and only at night will its vision be extremely sensitive and ferocious.

Hua Lan blinked her eyelids and asked cautiously tentatively, "Master, can Senior Brother really catch the white sparrow, did he catch it during the day, or will he only come out to catch it at night?" ”

"Alas, speaking of this matter, Master also has a headache."

The stinky socks master opened his sad eyes, the water under his eyes was erased by a trace of helpless sadness, and said bitterly: "This guy always has no energy during the day, except for sleeping, he is sleeping." Master really has no way to take it, what else can he do except hurry up at night? ”

Hua Lan could finally be sure, "Master, the senior brother you said is a bird, right?" It's a bird called an owl, isn't it? ”

"Well, the name owl is so good, and this guy's head really looks a bit like it."

Stinky Sock Stone Cave nodded frequently, still touching his chin, "However, this guy's eyes are much more powerful than cats." On dark nights, it can accurately catch white sparrows. ”

The owl's eyes have a lot of photoreceptor cells, and the light is too strong during the day, which affects its vision. At night, they can be seen clearly in very low light. Moreover, their wings are so powerful that they do not make a sound when they fly, so it is not surprising that they have caught a white finch.

The senior brother turned out to be an owl. This surprised Hua Lan, but she didn't ask any more, but looked at the red pine forest worriedly, "Master, every time you catch a white sparrow, there is a senior brother, is it at night?" ”

"Every time?"

The stinky sock master pursed his lips, "I said apprentice, do you think the old goblin can be caught casually?" There has to be a reason to catch it. Master, I have been waiting for this opportunity for most of my life, and now I have been waiting for these opportunities for twenty years. Your brother can't wait. You don't know how difficult it is for Master. ”

Ouch mom, what the hell is this old goblin, and there has to be a reason to catch it?

Hua Lan sighed in her heart, and asked very curiously: "Master, why is there still a reason and opportunity, could it be that this old goblin will be raised by someone?" ”

"Ouch, my good apprentice, you guessed right this time."

The sorrow in the eyes of the stinky sock master completely disappeared, and he suddenly cautiously observed everywhere, and whispered: "You can't shout loudly about this matter, its owner is powerful, if he lets his master know that we have caught the old goblin, put it in the cage." This is too bad, aren't our masters and apprentices here for nothing? ”
