Chapter 9: The Peak of Heavenly Glory
The herring was frightened and quickly swung its tail away, and the eagle in the water was far less fast than the herring fish, so it could only watch the herring go away.
Ying Xiang clenched the bamboo pole and stared at the blue pool in front of him: Little fish, let's have fun.
"Oops, failed again!" After missing several times in a row, Ying Xiang clenched the green bamboo pole in his hand and was a little enraged.
At this moment, there was a loud bang, and the herring that had just escaped was pierced by a bamboo pole, and a figure quickly soared into the sky from the water with the penetrated fish.
Is that...... Liang Yue!
"No, we have to change our strategy. Eagle Xiang thought as he continued to sneak through the water.
It's still three big guys! Eagle Xiang's pupils shrank.
Three big fish rested on a raised boulder, and Eagle Xiang quietly approached again, but this time Eagle Xiang did not immediately make an impulsive move.
He stared at the big fish and thought to himself: the fish was too agile in the water, and his speed was greatly limited in the water. Moreover, as soon as you do it yourself, it will cause water fluctuations and make the fish alert. If only I could tie the fish.
"By the way, tie the fish! Eagle Xiang's eyes lit up.
Ying Xiang stretched out his left hand and slowly urged the true qi in his body, and the pale cyan true qi rose from the palm of his hand, which was similar to the color of the surrounding pool water, and soon the true qi melted into the pool and disappeared without a trace.
Ying Xiang didn't care about continuing to urge the true qi in his body, and the true qi continued to disappear into the water, but suddenly quietly condensed and appeared not far from the three big fish.
Ying Xiang didn't panic when the true qi in his hand just disappeared, because he felt that the true qi was still connected with him and didn't really disappear, so as soon as his mind moved, the true qi appeared slightly.
This is a wonderful discovery that was inadvertently made when the eagle flew into the water to play, the true qi can be used out of the body in the water, and even the true qi can be hidden in the water, which is completely impossible on land.
Carefully controlling the activities of true qi in the water, I have to say that the whole process is controlled by spiritual power, which is really the most severe test of spiritual power.
Above the three fishes, the true qi quietly appeared, and as soon as Ying Xiang's mind moved, the true qi immediately formed a sparse net.
Cover!
The three big fat fish immediately struggled hard, and Ying Xiang felt very struggling, and his headache was terrible, because the true qi was far away from his body, and it was not easy to control it.
Ying Xiang kept stepping on the water and swam over quickly, Ying Xiang endured the dizziness and severe pain in his head, picked up the green bamboo pole in his hand and knocked it quickly and violently on the heads of the three big fish, and the three fish were knocked out immediately.
This is still the result of Eagle Xiang's control of strength, otherwise if you slam it hard with the strength of Eagle Xiang's one-handed nearly 10,000 catties, it is estimated that the fish head will be beaten to pieces.
Ying Xiang's eyes were bent into crescent moons, and his hands controlled his true qi to gather the three fainting fish packages together and began to float upward.
On the edge of the pool, on the shore, there was a snap, and another big herring was thrown to the ground.
"Great, that's the second one!" exclaimed the children.
The two herring fish were side by side, Liang Yue had a smile on the corner of her mouth, and blood was still flowing from the tip of the green bamboo pole in her hand.
Liang Yue flapped her wings and wanted to fly high into the air to continue fishing, when a teenager squeezed out of the crowd to stop her.
"Brother Liang Yue, these fish are enough to cook soup, and there is no need to catch them anymore. ”
This young man's name is Liang Sheng, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, similar to Liang Yue's age, and he is an ordinary teenager.
Although he does not have the outstanding talent of Liang Yue and Yingxiang, he is a good cook, and he has always been in charge of everyone's diet.
Liang Yue nodded lightly and stood aside with her hands in her hands, her eyes looking deeply at the water.
"What's the matter, why can't you get it back, could it be that something happened?" Liang Yong frowned and looked at the water.
"Brother Xiang is embarrassed to come up because he can't catch a fish. A teenager quipped.
Liang Yue glared at the young man fiercely, and the young man immediately stuck out his tongue and didn't dare to say anything more.
There was still no movement in the water for a long time, and Liang frowned slightly and muttered, "Why haven't you come up yet." ”
"Forget it, I'll go down and have a look. Liang Yong began to take off the straw sandals under his feet and the animal skin clothes on his body.
At this moment, the calm pool water made waves, high water waves rose one after another, and a dashing figure stepped on the waves. Three big fat fish were washed ashore by the waves, and Ying Xiang stood aside with a bamboo pole and smiled.
Xiaojie trotted over, squatted next to the big fish and shouted: "Fish, it's a big fish, Brother Xiang caught a big fish and came back!"
Ying Xiang shook the water droplets in his hair vigorously, Liang Yue approached, slammed a punch on Ying Xiang's chest, and said, "The harvest is good." ”
Liang Sheng hurriedly commanded a few teenagers to start washing and cutting the herring, and they were busy, and the delicious mushrooms were also picked.
The cauldron set up a pot full of water, when the water boiled slightly, the stomach was stuffed with delicious mushrooms herring into the pot, and the careful Yingxiang also added wild ginger powder to remove the fish.
The fire under the cauldron is neither too big nor extinguished, but kept on medium and low heat, which keeps the pot slightly boiling all the time.
Boiling fish soup is a technical task, and it needs to be simmered slowly to bring out the full flavor of the fish, so you must not rush it.
Although the lid is closed, the aroma of delicious mushrooms and fish keeps overflowing through the cracks in the lid. The children all craned their necks and sniffed greedily at the scent.
"Okay, I'm hungry?"
"It should be cooked, right?"
"Oh, when is it going to be?"
In the past half an hour, Ying Xiang has been asked at least hundreds of similar questions, but he is still calm.
The slender fingers rhythmically tapped on the brown-red lid of the pot, and Yingxiang's eyes suddenly lit up and said happily: "It's time to boil!"
Lifting the lid of the pot and facing the rising white gas, Ying Xiang took the lid and fanned it several times, and finally was able to see the scene in the pot.
The original full pot of fish soup is now missing by a third, and the milky white fish soup exudes an attractive luster.
Liang Yue brought a clay pot filled with snow-white coarse salt. Ying Xiang estimated the amount of soup, grabbed a little coarse salt and sprinkled it into the pot, and then stirred it with a spoon.
Boiling fish soup requires salt at the end to preserve the flavor of the fish to the greatest extent, and putting salt too early will make the fish age.
"Let's eat, hurry up and take the bowls one by one, and line up to come over to get the fish soup!" Liang Yue shouted loudly.
The steaming fish soup and the smooth, springy mushrooms almost made the children swallow their tongues, which was a real treat.
The sun had set, and Ying Xiang sat at the entrance of the cave with a bowl and looked at the mountains in the distance.
"Hey!"
Ying Xiang turned around, a fiery red thing smashed head-on, Ying Xiang reached out and grabbed it, spread out his palm and turned out to be a wild fruit.
"It's very sweet, Huzi just picked it back. Liang smiled with his white teeth bared.
Ying Xiang took a hard bite, and the sweet juice immediately splashed out, and it tasted very good.
After dinner, the children went home, and after a long day's work, everyone missed the soft beds in the hut in the trees.
At this time, a dark cloud faintly drifted across the sky, and the children looked far away.
"Our warriors are back!" someone shouted loudly as he saw the distance.
The children were all smiling, eager to fly home at once to ask about today's harvest.
Eagle Xiang still took a shortcut from the edge of the cliff, and then walked through the dense forest with great skill.
There was a squeak, and a small yellow-haired monkey suddenly jumped down from the tree and happily jumped on Eagle Xiang's shoulder.
"I know it's you, gluttonous little monkey. Ying Xiang stretched out his finger and tapped the little monkey's head, the little monkey was not afraid at all, but kept rubbing his head against Ying Xiang as if he was coquettish.
"I left in advance today, so I won't play with you, these are good for you. Ying Xiang took out a handful of fiery wild fruits from his bosom and stuffed them to the little monkey.
The little monkey was very spiritual, and when he got the fruit, he no longer pestered the eagle to play, and left happily.
Ying Xiang desperately wanted to go back early and ask the patriarch about his discovery today. He was eager to see if depleting his True Qi and then recultivating it was a way to improve the quality of his True Qi.
Ying Xiang looked up at Tianyao Peak and felt that Tianyao Peak in the twilight was exceptionally beautiful.
Tianyao Peak, the highest peak in the green valley, is also the most beautiful scenery and the most abundant mountain peak in heaven and earth.
Out of the Eagle Clan of several hundred people, only the Patriarch and the three Elders, as well as their immediate family members, are eligible to live here.
There is no dissatisfaction among the people of this tribe, because these old people have indeed done too much for the whole tribe.
The patriarch had two older brothers and one younger brother, both of whom had lost their lives to protect the Eagle Clan, and there were originally seven elders in total, all of whom were the most heroic warriors in the clan at that time. Now there are only three left, four elders have long been buried in the ground, and the remaining three elders are also injured.
Ying Xiang walked along the path he had built himself to the highest point of Tianyao Peak, and did not forget to pull out the weeds for the flowers on both sides along the way.
Tianyao Peak was crowded with people, and at first glance there were nearly a hundred people, and Yingxiang was a little surprised: What happened?
Nearly a hundred people were huddled together, all warriors of the clan, most of them were wounded, and the wounds had not had time to be bandaged, and blood flowed.
Not far away, a large pile of animal meat formed a large pile, the most striking of which was a huge blue bird.
In the moonlight, the wings of the huge mountain of birds glowed with a faint blue light, and the claws of a single bird were more than half a human tall and covered in strange scales, and the tips of the claws were sharp and cold.
This is......
Dragonwing Blue Bird, a first-order mysterious beast.
