Chapter 11: Treading the Wind
Wind horses, the origin of the Qili Plateau in the northeast, in a semi-wild state of survival, they have neither comfortable stables, nor exquisite feed, in the fox wolf infested grassland wind food and camp, summer to endure the scorching heat mosquitoes, winter can withstand extreme cold. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info is short in stature, and its appearance is not good, but in the wind, frost, snow and rain of the prairie, they have not lost their majestic horse nature, they have a large head and a short neck, a strong body, a wide chest and a long mane, thick skin and thick hair, and can kick the head of a fox wolf with their hooves. The tamed wind-riding horse, not frightened or deceived on the battlefield, is extremely brave, and is the only choice for military horses.
However, due to its extremely wild nature, it is extremely difficult to domesticate. As a result, even the direct cavalry guards of the Empire can only be equipped with a small number of wind-riding horses.
At noon the next day, Chen Zhen took Wei Yi to the stable, where quartermaster Huangpu was already waiting for them. For Huangpu, it is natural that someone is willing to take over the hot potato of the horse shed, and it is naturally very happy. The three horses in the stable, he has had a headache for more than a month. For this reason, I also went to the vicinity of Linhai County, and found a lot of capable people who raised horses to understand the methods of domesticating these guys. It took a lot of manpower and time, and there was always nothing to be done about these "stubborn donkeys". was scolded by the young master for this matter.
Yesterday, suddenly passed down an order, saying that the affairs of the horse shed were fully handed over to Chen Zhen and the newcomer Wei Yi. For Huangpu, it is really great news. Therefore, according to the agreed handover time, I waited in the stable early.
Wei Yi told Chen Zhen at the beginning that when he was going to raise horses, it was difficult to accept. Don't say it's raising horses, people on the beach don't even know how to raise pigs! You said that you really want to contribute to Chu Feng's construction, so give full play to my expertise and let me go to the lake below the mountain to catch fish or something, it is estimated that it will be more effective.
But when Chen Zhen explained that raising horses can exercise his ability to resist beasts, Wei Yi finally compromised. In order to raise tigers in the future, let's raise horses now.
"Old Chen, you're here. Huang Pu was waiting at the door of the stables with a smile on his face.
"Well, Brother Huang, I'm here to solve the problem for you. How can you thank me!" Chen Zhen naturally understood the benefits of this matter to Huangpu.
"Please drink all the time, hehe!" Huang Pu said happily to Chen Zhen while letting the two grandfathers and grandsons come in.
"Yi'er, I've seen your Uncle Huang, Uncle Huang is the quartermaster of our Chu Feng Regiment, and all our food, clothing, housing and transportation are all in his charge, but he is a powerful man!" Chen Zhen walked and turned back to introduce Wei Yi.
"Hello Uncle Huang!" Wei Yi also bowed to Huangpu as he walked.
"Good, good, good boy. Huangpu looked at Wei Yi, and naturally knew in his heart that it was definitely not Chen Zhen who had the ability to solve this matter of raising horses, but this little ghost with the ability to control the beast vein.
"Okay, Brother Huang, I won't delay your time. You can hand over some of the daily affairs and work of this stable, knowing that you are very busy. Walking into the stable, Chen Zhen got straight to the point, "Then take us to see those horses by the way, I haven't seen them since the barbarians brought them up the mountain." ”
"Well, in fact, it's easy to manage this stable, just a few things. The first is to feed the feed, the second is the daily release, the third is the cleaning of the horse shed, and the fourth is the use and management of the horses. Huangpu clearly summarized the main work in the stable, and Wei Yi remembered them one by one.
Huang Pu took Chen Zhen and Wei Yi with him, and talked as he walked, explaining the type of feed, the amount of feed every day, and the time these horses need to be pulled out to let off in the racetrack behind the stable every day.
"Feed for horses, including roughage such as sheep grass and alfalfa, as well as concentrated feed such as corn and barley, just report to me, and I will purchase and supply them as soon as possible. When it comes to feeding, there is a very important point, which is water. Make sure that all the horses drink enough water every day, you see that each stall has a special water tank, and always keep the water in the tank clean and sufficient. Water is a very important thing for horses. Huang Pu finally emphasized, and Wei Yi also nodded, indicating that it was clear.
"As for the management of horses, it's not complicated. In total, we have more than 50 horses in the entire stable. You see, these pony pens on the left are all some horses that are exclusive to individuals, such as this white "Canglong", which is the mount of Bai Feng, the leader of the third squad, and only he can use it, and no one else can use it. There is also this jujube red "fire pheasant", which is the mount of Liu Zonglie, the leader of the seventh squad. Huang Pu introduced these personal mounts one by one.
"Well, these two men, one is a spearman and is good at riding and fighting, and the other is a bowman and a good horseman. The coordination of the mounts is very important to them. Chen Zhen took over this conversation and introduced it to Wei Yi.
"Young master, don't you have a mount?" Wei Yi looked at these fierce mounts with envy, and couldn't help but fantasize that one day he could also have an exclusive mount. However, listening to the introduction, among the dozen or so mounts, there is no Xiang Aochu.
"Hehehe, he doesn't need a mount, because there is no mount that can run faster than the "Black Lion" he transformed. Chen Zhen smiled, "If it's really inconvenient to transform, he will ride those ordinary horses over there as a substitute." ”
"That's right!" Wei Yi suddenly realized that he had seen the appearance of the "Black Lion" in Feiyu Village, and there was really no need to use a mount when fighting.
"With the exception of these exclusive mounts, you need to be aware that only their own owners have access to them. There are more than 40 ordinary horses here, and you need to register the people and times for them one by one. We have a number mark on the right hip of each horse, and it is convenient to keep a record. Huang Pu said, pointing to the notebook and the imprint on a horse's hip on the table next to him.
As he walked, he said that soon the matter of the horse shed would be almost explained. Finally, we walked to the innermost corner of the stable, where there were three wooden bars reinforced with iron bars, and the scene inside was a bit strange. All three horses were blindfolded with black cloth and chained limbs, allowing them to move only in small areas.
"Is it just these horses? Do you need to make it like this?" Although Chen Zhen was prepared in his heart, these short-tempered wind-riding horses must be treated specially. But I was still shocked to see such a posture.
"Hey...... Old Chen, don't you know that this horse fence alone has been kicked broken more than a dozen times. That's why it's fixed with this iron rod, and it has to be locked with this short chain, so that it can't raise its hind legs. When Huangpu walked here, the expression on his whole face changed, he was still relaxed in front, but after he arrived here, he became a sad face.
"Why do you want to blindfold them?" Before Wei Yi came, he had already heard Chen Zhen mention these horses.
"The horses were extremely irritable, and at the slightest sight of a man approaching, they became furious. In the end, there was no choice but to cover it up and settle down a little. However, if there is a slightly louder sound, there will still be a reaction. ”
Wei Yi carefully observed these horses, in fact, these horses were not as tall as he imagined, and they were even a few points shorter than the "Canglong" and "Fire Pheasant" he saw just now. But if you look closely, you can see that these three horses have a large head and a thick neck, thick limbs, a broad chest, much thicker fur, and a particularly long mane. The whole body type looks like it's a particularly explosive type.
"It seems to be true that this hind hoof can directly kick the wolf's head shell. Chen Zhen also studied around these horses.
"That's not it, look at this wooden fence, such a thick log, it was directly broken. If this can go to the battlefield, it will not kick people's heads with one foot. Huang Pu exaggeratedly pointed to the log on the edge of one of the wooden railings.
The black wind-riding horse in the wooden pen of "......" suddenly shook its head and let out a violent gasping sound. Frightened, Huangpu jumped directly to the side, it is estimated that he has been tossed by these guys for a long time, and he already feels a little frightened.
I saw that the horse began to be restless, desperately trying to lift his legs, and the chains on his feet "clanged". Well, the two horses next to them were affected by this, and they also began to be restless and restless. Bumping up and down, left and right, the whole wooden fence began to shake from side to side. This posture felt like it could collapse the wooden fence reinforced with iron rods at any moment.
"Mom...... Far away, far away. Huangpu hurriedly reached out and pushed Chen Zhen and Wei Yi back. "The three Great Demon Kings are going to go crazy again. ”
This posture really scared Wei Yi. I kept muttering in my heart, how can I tame this violent temper on my own?
"Well, that's all there is to explain to the stable. This is the key to the stable, and the rest is up to you. I have other things to do and I'm going to go first. Huang Pu said as he looked at the big demon king who was furious over there, feeling that he wished he could leave this stable a moment earlier and detach a moment earlier.
"Okay, Brother Huang, you go and get busy, I'll leave it to us here. Chen Zhen didn't leave him behind, took the key, and waved him away.
In the stable, Wei Yi looked at the three thunderous wind-riding horses with a blank face, at a loss. Chen Zhen sent Huangpu away and returned to him. Looking at this scene, he smiled.
"What's going on? Yi'er! Your next goal is to get rid of these guys. Chen Zhen knew that Wei Yi must be very uneasy now, compared to these three wind-riding horses and Wang Zai, it was a world of difference.
"Uh...... Grandpa, why don't you find me a puppy? I can exercise for exercise. Wei Yi half-jokingly said to Chen Zhen that he really didn't know how to start with such a situation.
"Hahaha, Yi'er, no matter how strong this fierce horse is, can it still compare to a tiger? If you can't even tame a horse, how can you control the tiger in the future?" Chen Zhen threw the question back to Wei Yi and asked him to figure it out for himself.
"But I don't really know where to do it right now. I actually don't know how I made Wang Zai listen to me!" Wei Yi is not wrong in what he said, in fact, he is completely unconscious of his control over Wang Zai. I don't know how to use the power of the beast vein to control a beast that has just come into contact.
"Hehe, in fact, this is what grandpa wants to teach you. Chen Zhen naturally knew that he was confused in this regard, because no one had taught him at all, and Wei Yi's internal vision had only been carried out once, and he had not formally communicated with Long Xing at all.
"Grandpa, say it quickly!" Wei Yi followed behind Chen Zhen, already a little impatient.
"You sit down and listen to me slowly, it's not something you can understand in a sentence or two. Chen Zhen walked to the table and chair in the corner of the stable, sat down, and Wei Yi also sat down opposite.
"First of all, Yi'er, you already know that your Dragon Star belongs to the Imperial Beast Vein, to put it simply, the biggest feature of your ability is to control the beast and help you fight. The core lies in the word "royal", the royal vein is a very large star disciple vein, which can be divided into the vein of the beast, the vein of the royal object, the vein of the imperial qi, the vein of the five elements and so on, and the core of the entire vein ability is control. And the most important premise to control anything is to understand it. For example, if you want to control the horse, you must first be able to understand the horse, and then you have to try to communicate with the horse. Another example is that your big brother Bai Feng belongs to the imperial qi vein, when he first started to exercise the ability of the dragon star, he had to try to communicate with the qi around his body, and understanding was the first step in control. ”
"How do you communicate? You mean to let me talk to these grumpy horses every day and make them happy! Isn't this a sycophant?" Wei Yi's head grew when he heard about communication. It's still acceptable to hold Wangzai and chat with him. Talking to these guys, isn't that a sycophant slapping on the hooves?
"Hahaha, it's not for you to make a sycophant. Since you have the ability to resist the beast vein, you naturally have the ability to communicate with the beast through your divine sense. It's just that you don't know how to use this ability yet. ”
"Then how can you learn this ability?" Wei Yi was confident when he heard that he would indeed have the ability to communicate with beasts. Thinking that I can communicate with these horses, it should be very interesting, I just want to scold them, and they understand it. "Yes, if I can communicate with them, I must scold them well, this tempered person deserves not to give them food, starve them for a few days. ”
"Hehe, that's not good, if you starve these treasures, I can't pay for the young master. Chen Zhen quickly broke Wei Yi's idea, otherwise it would not be necessary to starve these horses to death in a few days. "As for how you asked how to learn this ability, grandpa can't teach you, but someone can teach you!" Chen Zhen smiled mysteriously.
"Who?"
"Your own Dragon Star!" Chen Zhen pointed to Wei Yi's head, "Yi'er still remember that at the beach, I told you that you entered your body and saw your own Dragon Star? Next, the first thing you need to do is to try to enter the state of inner vision and have a good spiritual communication with your dragon star. He will teach you a lot of your own abilities. ”
"Oh, but grandpa, I listened to you say that and then I went in without knowing it. Recently, when I read that sentence myself, there was no reflection. ”
"It's a state of passive inward-looking, and the next thing you need to learn is to actively enter the inward-looking state. You come, grandpa teaches you now. Chen Zhen got up and walked to the haystack on the side, and sat down on the hay-covered ground. Wei Yi did the same and sat cross-legged on the ground.
"Adjust your breathing and slow it down as much as possible. Each exhale and inhale can be counted to five. All attention is focused on the breath of breath...... Call............ Suck............ Keep it until you feel like your mind is empty and you don't think about anything anymore. Then, say that sentence in your heart!"
Slow breathing, so that the heartbeat gradually becomes calmer. The concentration of attention leaves the mind blank.
"The dragon star descended from the sky to change the fortune, and the people became strong and self-reliant!"
