Chapter Ninety-Seven: This Is Not Yours
At the top of the lonely mountain, a string of rapid drums sounded, and the drum beat was agitated like a soldier approaching the battlefield.
With the beat of the drum, a thin figure danced the long sword in a piercing arc......
"Bangββ, bang-" The silhouette of a big eagle flashed over the tip of the pine, and then the sky fanned, and the pine cones fell to the ground.
The young man slowly retracted his sword, and a whistle sounded, summoning a gust of wind......
The young man looked at it again, and the big eagle had landed firmly on his arm, and the wind was blowing, and the tiger was windy, and it was a scene of "the sword dance was shallow, the eagle struck the sky, the moon was dark and the wind was high, and the general drew the bow......
Imagining this, unconsciously, the young man straightened his chest again.
Outside the cave, the pride is high, and inside the cave, it is idle and fragrant.
Coo was wearing an apron, sitting by the warm firewood, holding a pot of apples, peeling them intently, and humming and chirping in a small tune.
Seeing that autumn is coming again, the two of them are far from home, so the return date is still difficult to determine, however, this does not make the "big heart" Gu Gu worried, she feels that she can't finish the things at hand all day and night, so she can't think about the long run.
When the pot is filled with rich wolf milk and this season's vanilla sticks, Golcoo's eyes light up.
She fanned the flames with enthusiasm and boiled the "vanilla milk" over a high fire.
Then, she put the egg powder and cane sugar that she was reluctant to eat all the way from her pocket into a wooden bowl, and beat them with the spring water in the cave, and then Gugu slowly poured the mixed juice into the hot pot, and stirred it again.
When the viscous and fragrant soup in the pot looked like a ball of hot marshmallows that could not be dissolved, Goo squinted her eyes and approached the firewood, she smelled it first, the heat, the thickness, and the burnt aroma ...... She was very satisfied.
Coo nodded, took out the same precious spice with great interest, smelled and admired, and put the spices into the hot soup one by one as appropriate.
At first, it was a little pepper picked by the frost day, a little bit of lily of the valley cinnamon, and then half a spoonful of orange nectar and rose petals were added, and half a drop of blackcurrant was added.
In the end, Goo Gu also looked around, and saw that Shaoyi had not yet entered the hole, so he added the last secret ingredient material with confidence.
At this time, the mixed apple slices and dough have been set up on the wood stove for half an hour, and Coo is happy to pluck it out of the oven......
"It's so fragrant!" Shaoyi's eyes lit up, and he rubbed his hands and ran straight over.
The firewood reflected the red face of Gugu, and the fragrance of apples spread throughout the hole, and Gugu carefully sprinkled chopped hazelnuts on the apple pie that was raised in one flat place, and then slowly poured a small spoonful of thick juice out of the pot.
Shaoyi said: "Tsk, you really have the posture of a chef." β
"I'm a chef! β
One less thought, goo, goo, you're narcissistic. But when the words came to his lips, they were changed to: "Goo, let me taste the chef's craftsmanship first." β
"Wait, I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, this apple pie has to go back to the oven for 'a nap time', and after taking it out and letting it cool, sprinkle it with powdered sugar before eating. Hey, where are you going?"
"Then I'd better go and train with 'Xiaoyao'. Shaoyi stuck out his tongue and walked out of the hole.
"Greasy" together all day long, Xiaoyao not only let down his guard against Shaoyi, but also seemed to be a lot closer.
At this time, Shaoyi only needs to shout "Xiaoyao", and Xiaoyao will be energetic and rush over in the blink of an eye.
"Goo, do you think I can set up a falcon to go hunting?" asked Goo Gu with confidence last night.
"Not yet ......," Gollum affirmed.
For this judgment of Gugu, Shaoyi is very unconvinced.
If you want to say that this is a worry-free cave, it is because Shaoyi and Gugu Sword Pavilion passed the level, and were affirmed by the elders, and brought the high hopes of the people in the village to make the trip.
After going through dangers along the way, after finding the hole, Shaoyi inadvertently got the true inheritance of the white bones, and had the opportunity to see the long sword red flame, sword spectrum and rock paintings, so lucky, Shaoyi was very grateful in his heart. It's just that I practiced swords and trained eagles, and after staying on the top of the mountain for a long time, I became more and more homesick at the beginning.
I don't know if my foundation is too shallow, or if I can't understand it, I can't comprehend the essentials of rock paintings and sword pedigrees, let alone integrate them. Although practicing swords every day, there is always a little progress in Shaoyi, but in the end, it is not a great progress, let alone a breakthrough.
Sword training, eagle training, eagle training, sword training...... It seems to be endless, never fruitful, which makes Shaoyi dream back every night, always feel ashamed of something, and also add to the anxiety.
Yesterday, one less trained "Leisurely" and demonstrated it to Gugu.
I saw one less nodding and signaling the "Xiaoyao" to fly over, and the "Xiaoyao", which was five zhang away, lived up to expectations, flying right and low, only to see it rubbing the ground like an arrow from the string, leaving a sharp gray shadow on the ground.
When he approached, he raised his hand, and "Xiaoyao" landed firmly on the holster of his right arm. "Xiaoyao" knew that Shaoyi was very satisfied, so he lowered his head and ate the "reward meat" on the holster wholeheartedly.
"Gugu, can you pass this 'called walking' link?"
"Well," Goo pondered carefully while flipped through the illustrations in the "Picture of Birds and Beasts", "but 'Xiaoyao' didn't shake his head in the middle of the flight, looked left and right, didn't deviate from the walking line, and didn't fly with wings yet...... It seems that the wildness is gradually getting rid of it, and there is no need to tie this Rausch rope anymore, and there is no need to continue to 'call the slipper'. At this stage, one less you are clear. β
"But," Goo said, without waiting for a moment of joy, "you have to be ruthless and consider whether to give 'Xiaoyao' some more meat and weight until you meet the requirements." β
After hearing this, he sat on the ground with a sad face: "Why do you want me to be a bad person again?!"
......
After several stages such as "boiling the eagle", "dropping the hat", "feeding the wooden shaft", and "calling the slipper", it seems that the big eagle "leisurely" has also been tamed by the "eagle style" of the halfway monk. However, in Goo's eyes, this training is far from home.
For this reason, she read according to the script, according to the illustration in "Hui Birds and Beasts", Gugu added another part of training - called "Fat".
Before the eagle goes out hunting, in order to enhance the eagle's desire to attack and obey the owner's call, the first thing to do is to "feed the shaft", when it swallows two or three, it vomits non-stop, so that it can not satisfy hunger, and eats on the stomach.
Only in this way can the eagle maintain a strong desire to hunt and meet the standard of release.
No, Shaoyi took advantage of the fact that the apple pie was not out of the pot, and came out of the hole again, accompanied by "Xiaoyao", and saw if "Xiaoyao" spit out the wooden shaft.
"Xiaoyao" was already so hungry that his eyes lit up, and "Ga-" made a long roar, causing the grass and trees to be shocked.
"Don't worry, let's catch rabbits tomorrow. Shaoyi stroked the wings of "Xiaoyao" and comforted "Xiaoyao" softly, as if he was comforting himself in anxiety.
......
The golden crisp pine, red and fruity, sweet and thick apple pie is a little drunk after eating, no matter how you look at anything in the cave, you feel that there is a warm light cover, extra warm, extra love.
"Goo, don't you want to cultivate into a kitchen god these days when you're hiding in the cave?!"
Cooing pursed his lips and smiled mysteriously very reservedly.
She turned around and sniffed and sniffed the transparent water droplets in the bamboo core necklace on her chest, and she was also a drunk little look.
"Well," Gugu said to himself secretly, "This 'strange water' is really laborious and time-consuming to develop, but it smells really authentic, this front aroma is full of black pepper and lily of the valley cinnamon, and the middle fragrance is released by the faint orange nectar and black currant, and the aftertaste is strong, hehe, it can also be magical ambergris." 'Strange Water' has been developed, and I have done it!"
"Ambergris came from a cave, that's a secret. Thinking of this, Gugu subconsciously covered his mouth, and after a while, he couldn't help but take out the necklace, close his eyes, and sniff it intoxicated again.
"The recipe says that smelling this makes people fascinated. Goo thought to himself, "Well, when I grow up, I'll be able to use it." β
"Goo, why do I smell the sleeping dragon's saliva again?" asked Shaoyi with a yawn.
"Phew!" Goo wouldn't leak secrets, but would still be outright angry.
......
The location of the eagle hunting was chosen by Gugu, in a small col at the southern foot of the lonely mountain, two hours away from Sanssouci Cave.
It was the only place on the lonely mountain where there were living creatures, and it was also the place where Gugu used to go hunting, hunting, and making sacrifices for the past year or so.
Shaoyi stands at the highest point of the mountain, and his arm is firmly held on to the "Xiaoyao", from here, you can have a bird's eye view of the entire mountain col.
"Xiaoyao" stood energetically on Shaoyi's arm, like a general about to rush into the enemy's formation, its iron mouth like a hook, its eyes were red, and it was engrossed in staring at the ditches and bumps under the mountain col.
Coo-coo makes a "beep...... Honk...... At the same time, she kept tapping the rock with the silver fir wood in her hand, trying to coax the cold rabbit hiding under the snow nest to drive out, which was called "catching the battle".......
I've been waiting for a long time......
Finally, an unlucky rabbit appeared in the middle of the col, like a small drop of snow.
With one less wrist tightening, the strong thin legs of "Xiaoyao" were kicking downward, and it rushed straight out at an unusually fast speed.
The "Xiaoyao" started too violently, and the long tail feathers on the tail of the divine bird swayed up and down in the wind, and the "fluttering edges-" made the cold rabbit tremble and spin in place, trying to find a hole to drill into.
It is too late to say that it is too late, the shadow of "leisure" on the snow has arrived, and it is too late to hide and escape. In an instant, the cold rabbit fell under the sharp claws of "Xiaoyao".
Although one less person is standing on the top of the mountain, his heart has already gone out with the "leisure......
On that day, Grey Wind captured four Chill Rabbits.
In the matter of training eagles, Shaoyi finally got the affirmation of Gugu.
......
The grass is withered, and the snow is light...... The eagle is a celestial bird, and it belongs only to the firmament.
Perhaps sensing that parting was imminent, the night before the release, "Xiaoyao" suddenly stopped eating, "Xiaoyao" did not eat, and did not eat one less, this night, the eagle and the man did not sleep well.
It was a sunny breakfast with a mist shrouded in the peaks of the Western Mountains......
"There is a higher heaven beyond the heavens. Let's go, this is not yours. Shaoyi gritted his teeth and said ruthlessly.
A pair of sharp eyes made Shaoyi very sad. Eagles are difficult to tame, but once tamed, they are extremely loyal to their owners.
"Xiaoyao" circled a few times above Shaoyi's head, and then reluctantly fell back to Shaoyi's arm. One less picked up the silver fir wood to drive away, however, the "free" went and returned......
This was repeated several times, and finally, "Xiaoyao" hissed and flew away.
This autumn, since the "free" farewell, is very short.
