Chapter 83 Soaring in the Air

After breakfast the next day, the elder opened the second bronze door, and an endless field appeared in front of him. It turns out that the mountain was used on the island a long time ago to resist foreign invaders. The defenders dug tunnels in the mountains and set up many traps, which were easy to defend and difficult to attack. The elder wrote a letter to Hu Kehao, explaining the matter to him and asking him to go and ask for help. Elder Abra thought about it, but he was still not at ease, and persuaded again: "The people of Aina Island believe in the ancient Zoroastrianism, and many people know witchcraft. After years of development, it was inhabited by demons and monsters, and none of the people who entered by mistake made it out alive. Besides, there's a good chance you won't be able to get there. The road ahead is getting tougher and harder, and if you're not careful, you'll die. If you're afraid of death, don't take the risk, it's too late to regret it. ”

"I've made up my mind that I'm not going to give up until I reach my goal. I was willing to risk my life to get my friend back. Hu Kehao said.

"May God bless you and wish you a safe journey!" The elders were impressed by his spirit and encouraged him to move forward bravely.

Hu Kehao rode on a fast horse and galloped across the field. Elder Abra couldn't tell what dangers he would encounter on the way, and he only hoped that he would be able to adapt to the situation and turn evil into good fortune. After galloping for several hours, suddenly a hare ran in front of him, the horse was frightened, neighed, and raised its front hooves, Hu Kehao clung to the reins, pressed his body to the horse's back, avoided danger, and was about to breathe a sigh of relief, when an eagle swooped down from the sky again, and its long beak seemed to peck at him. Hu Kehao covered his eyes with his hands and buried his head. He heard a terrible cry from the hare, and it turned out that the eagle had caught the hare.

A peculiar-looking man came over, blew a whistle, and the eagle obediently rested on his shoulder. The man saw the frightened horses and men and said apologetically, "I'm sorry that my eagle has frightened you." ”

The man was a falconer named Mokal, who was very warm about people. Mokal said to Hu Kehao: "Friend, where are you going, what can I do for you?" ”

"I'm going to ride to the beach and visit Elder Sandra." Hu Kehao said.

"Haha, what a coincidence, I'm Elder Sandra's falconer, and we just happen to be together. Elder Sandra has a very strange temper, and he usually doesn't meet outsiders easily, so you have to be careful! Mocal said.

Hu Kehao invited Mokal to ride with him, and Mokal sat in the front, and Hu Kehao sat in the back holding the reins. Mokal had an eagle perched on his shoulder and a hare in his hand. The horses ran as fast as they could, and the eagle seemed to sense that the horses were running too slowly, and flew into the sky, waiting for them as they flew.

After about two hours, we came to a hut facing the sea and in the spring flowers, which was where Elder Sandra lived. He lived a simple life and admired nature. Mokal said to Hu Kehao: "Elder Sandra is used to being pure, and he doesn't like to be disturbed by outsiders, so I'll go first and report it to see if he wants to see you." ”

Hu Kehao remembered the letter given to him by Elder Abra, handed it to Mokal, and said, "There is Brother Lao! Please give this letter to Elder Sandra, and perhaps he will be more willing to see me. ”

Mokal walked into the hut, and Hu Kehao tied his horse to a tree and waited there. Elder Abra told him that if Elder Sandra was unwilling to help, he would ride back on his steed, and the idea of going to Aina was never thought of going to the island. After more than ten minutes, Mokal ran out, beckoned to Hu Kehao, and motioned for him to come over. Overjoyed, Hu Kehao followed Mocal to the hut and met Elder Sandra. The thatched hut is built on the top of the mountain, facing the sea, with a wide view, dozens of meters above the sea level, and the cliffs below, and the sea tide cannot flood the thatched hut.

Elder Sandra is teaching a few children to read, and the children are all children from poor families in the neighborhood who have no money to go to school, and Elder Sandra is very knowledgeable, so he teaches them personally, hoping that when they grow up, they can go out of the island and go to college, Cambridge University, Oxford University, Harvard University, they can go to study any University. After completing your studies, start your own business in the vast world outside, and don't go back to the isolated and desolate island. Elder Sandra and Elder Abra were friends, and after reading his letters, they already knew about Hu Kehao's situation and were willing to help him.

"Kid, Aina Island is still far from here, separated by multiple seas, I don't have a boat here, it's not so easy to cross the ocean, what do you think?" Elder Sandra asked.

"Please ask the elders for advice. Even if I take a small raft, I have to cross the sea. Hu Kehao said.

Elder Sandra laughed and said, "A big fish can knock over your little raft, let alone encounter the wind and waves at sea. Mocal, what about that big eagle you domestilated? ”

"Now tame, able to follow my orders." Mocal replied.

"There is no way, only to let the eagle send Comrade Xiaohu across the sea, you take him to see the eagle and familiarize himself with the eagle's temper." Elder Sandra said. Elder Abra raises horses, Elder Sandra raises eagles, one helps Hu Kehao gallop on the island, and the other helps him soar on the sea, it seems that Hu Kehao is very lucky, and there are masters to help him.

Mokal took Hu Kehao to the falconry room, and Hu Kehao felt that the atmosphere inside was very oppressive, like a prison. Some of the eagles were kept in a dark room with no light at all. Some of the eagles were so hungry that they had no strength to call. "The eagle is a rather proud bird, and it is not easy to tame it," Mokal said. ”

"How did you become a falconer?" Hu Kehao asked curiously.

"It took me three months to start a falconry, but then I got more and more skilled, and it only took two months, a month, and now I can tame an eagle in seven days. The eagle and I were locked in a small dark room, blocking out all light and lighting only a candle. On the first day, I kept hitting the eagle with a stick to let it know how good I was, and the eagle was enraged and would resist, but there was no way, it couldn't help me. The next day the eagle was exhausted, and I could no longer beat it, except for the occasional harassment with a stick, and slowly its willpower waned. Some eagles die after not surviving the first two days, and those who can survive until the third day are good eagles. At this point, they couldn't stand it anymore, so I started feeding it, and the eagles started to become obedient. On the fourth day, starve the eagle for another day, and let it know that if it is disobedient, there is no food. The fifth one released the eagles out of the dark room, they had lost their strong willpower, and if they flew out, they would fly back. The sixth and seventh days are the training period, and the eagle will be completely obedient and will never fly away again......" Mokal said proudly.

After listening to Mokal's narration, Hu Kehao thought of some angular young people, who were originally very individual, had their own ideas, and had their own principles, but after being tempered by society, they slowly became sleek and exquisite, just like eagles tamed by Mokal.

Hu Kehao looked at the eagles and asked, "Do you understand the language of eagles?" ”

"I've been a falcon for more than ten years, and I'm familiar with every movement and expression of an eagle, just by looking at their eyes or hearing their call, I know what they want to do." Mokal arrives at an eagle house with a large eagle in it, which Mokal chooses to be Hukhao's mount.

Mocal rewarded the eagle with the hare, and the eagle ate it with relish. "Although I was cruel when I was a falconer, I was an eagle lover and I became friends," Mokal said. He muttered a few words in the eagle's ear, and the eagle nodded, as if he understood what Mokal meant, that it was going to complete a manned voyage for its master.

The next day, Hu Kehao put Elder Abra's steed back, said goodbye to Mokal and Elder Sandra, and sat on the back of the eagle and soared through the air. Due to the "unbearable cold in high places", Hu Kehao was heavily armed and dressed very thickly. The eagle flew over the area where the birds gathered, and there was a deafening noise of birds chirping and flying. The eagle flew to the area where the wild beasts were infested, and the wolves, lions, tigers, leopards, and other fierce beasts roared in rage, and the chaos was so terrifying that if they entered it, they would surely die. The eagle flew over a military base, and the prisoners in the prison let out the sound of ghosts crying wolves. Various military drills were being carried out on the base, and there was no end to the noise with fire, light, smoke, and heat.

The eagle walked and crossed, and came to a clean and secluded place. Hu Kehao arrived at the destination of the trip and got off the back of the big eagle. The big eagle nodded at Hu Kehao and called twice, as if to say goodbye to him. Hu Kehao gave the eagle a hug, then waved at it, and the eagle spread its wings and flew high into the air, returning to Elder Sandra's home. Hu Kehao looked up and saw that there was a city gate in front of him, and he had come to another island country.
