The village is surrounded by a huge wall that is three feet high, all of which are erected side by side by two thick tree trunks, and the houses in the village are all made of boulders to build foundations, and then built with simple processed logs, simple and tall, from the inside to the outside there is a wild primitive taste.

According to Elder Guo, there are eleven other villages in the surrounding area that are located in the jungle, forming the largest aboriginal force within a radius of thousands of miles, led by Qin Cheng.

In fact, there is wealth everywhere in the wilderness, but unlike the gold, silver, antiques and silk of the civilized world, what is produced here is precious furs, countless rare elixirs, dazzling exotic beasts, etc., all of which are treasures that immortal cultivators dream of.

At this time, Yang Xiu cat was in the dense canopy, and Menglu hunted for the first time in his life with Menglu.

Yang Xiu looked into the distance, and could see a large area of dense meadows, which looked a little abrupt in the primeval jungle full of towering trees, and the dense grass was three feet high, swaying with the wind like blue sea waves, very beautiful.

According to Elder Guo, Yang Xiu has not yet been officially accepted by the Troubled Stone Village, and he needs to prove his strength in the wilderness before he can become a member of the Troubled Stone Village. In the wilderness, everything depends on strength, if you can't find your place in the village and make your own contribution, no one will look down on you.

That's why a kid like Monrou, who is only in his early teens, goes out with the hunting party to go out and practice, desperately trying to prove himself.

Elder Guo arranged a cooperative hunting mission for the two of them to test the "quality" of Yang Xiu, an outsider. By the way, work out on Monroo. Today is the seventh day of cooperation between the two, and they have been lying in this bush for nearly two hours.

Monlu has a very strong temperament and resolutely disagrees with other people's help. In his own words. If Yang Xiu was not his "trophy", he would not want to follow him to hunt.

The midday sun was blazing and strong, and a heavy rain had watered the forest two days ago, and Yang Xiu and Meng Lu still felt a little stuffy lying in the dense shade. Although Yang Xiu inquired repeatedly, Xiao Menglu never mentioned his plan, which also aroused Yang Xiu's interest.

"What are we doing here waiting to catch the rabbit?" Yang Xiu's keen eyes scanned the surroundings, noticing Meng Lu writhing a little uneasily. asked in a low voice with a smile.

Menglu's round forehead was already covered with beads of sweat, and he could see that he couldn't help it. However, after listening to Yang Xiu's words, he turned his little face and said like a little adult: "Be patient, the elder grandfather said that a person who is impatient cannot become an excellent hunter." ”

Yang Xiu was happy in his heart. Didn't speak again.

Meng Lu resisted the urge to move his body, and honestly hid in the bushes, the coarse cloth clothes on his body had long been soaked through with sweat, the sweat in the animal skin armor was dripping down, and his swarthy face was even more like he had just washed his face, Yang Xiu secretly admired it in his heart.

Meng Lu is just a cultivator who has been quenching his body, and he is estimated to be uncomfortable for two hours, but now he can still endure it, and his perseverance at a young age is admirable.

These days there is the aid of pills. Yang Xiu's injuries had healed most of the time, and his five senses had once again returned to the level of extreme sharpness they had before. As soon as he finished teasing Meng Lu and was about to lie down, Yang Xiu heard a noise in the forest in front of him on the left. There was a faint sound of the beast roaring in the mix.

Yang Xiu hurriedly reached out and pressed Meng Lu's back to signal the other party to be quiet, Meng Lu's big round eyes stared at Yang Xiu in confusion, but after a while, a large group of gray-white figures suddenly rushed out of the edge of the meadow and rushed directly into the grass.

"It's coming, it's coming!" said Monrour, clenching his fists and lowering his voice, with an excited expression.

Yang Xiu could see it clearly. Running into the meadow was a large group of rabbits - Yang Xiu, a rabbit as big as a deer, was also seen for the first time, and each time he ran out, it was more than a foot away. It runs with the momentum of thousands of troops and horses.

The figures of dozens of big rabbits flashed by, and in an instant they rushed into the grass one after another, and the meadow shook for a while before it was completely quiet. Several huge black beasts roamed the edge of the woods, and two terrifying white fangs could be faintly seen in the beast's mouth.

There were also muffled roars of beasts in the rest of the clearing, but they stayed outside the meadow and didn't come closer. The beasts seemed to be watching the grass for a moment, and after a moment they made sure that there was no sound in the grass, and then they retreated one by one, and soon disappeared without a trace.

Yang Xiu's hand holding the hilt of the sword was released at this time, and he looked back at Meng Lu, only to find that the other party was excited, and it seemed that it was another person who was very nervous just now.

"Alright, go home!"

Meng Lu stretched his waist contentedly, and beckoned to Yang Xiu in high spirits: "We'll come back tomorrow." Don't tell anyone about this place!"

Yang Xiu looked back at the quiet meadow with interest, he had already vaguely guessed what was going on, and looked at Xiao Menglu with a little more appreciation.

......

"Monrou is back! Haven't caught the prey yet? Don't worry, it's still a long time, just stay safe." ”

"I'll catch it in a minute!" said Monrour with a pout, causing a burst of laughter.

"Huzi, do you still have the kind of tea you made last time, my mother-in-law drank it and the effect is quite obvious, give me two catties." ”

"You think tea is a weed! There are no two catties, only two taels, and you can exchange the spirit grass from before. Yang Xiu replied angrily.

......

After getting along for the past few days, Yang Xiu has become familiar with everyone in Ranshi Village, and greets everyone he knows along the way. After living in Ranshi Village for more than ten days, getting along with these tough but simple people, Yang Xiu felt that his dark heart was about to be purified.

Yang Xiu was already diligent, except for the fixed practice of martial arts every day, the rest of the time was spent helping the village. Today, I helped Aunt Li catch the wild deer that escaped, and tomorrow I helped Uncle Zhao move the logs to strengthen the house, and in a few days, he has become a temporary villager praised and well-known by everyone in Ranshi Village.

In addition, Yang Xiu usually only works and doesn't talk much, who doesn't like such a diligent young man, especially in the wilderness where everyone has to work hard to survive, is even more popular.

Meng Lu walked in front of Yang Xiu with his little hands behind his back, his little face was tense, trying his best to pretend to be an adult, Yang Xiu knew that Meng Lu must be so happy in his heart that he didn't laugh out loud.

The two of them soon arrived at Elder Guo's house. Meng Lu's parents both died in an accident many years ago, and he was raised by Elder Guo since he was a child, and now the family has Yang Xiu as a temporary member.

The meal in the evening was extraordinarily rich, and all kinds of delicacies and wild food that Yang Xiu had never seen before were dazzling, and in just a few days after coming to Ranshi Village, Yang Xiu felt that he had gained a lot of weight.

After the meal, Monlu quickly packed up the dishes and chopsticks, and went out to play with his friends. Yang Xiu saw Elder Guo lighting a cigarette pouch and walking to the back room, knowing that the other party had something to say, he stepped forward and followed.

"Huzi, I heard from Meng Lu that you are interested in our beast control technique?" Elder Guo asked straight to the point.

Yang Xiu smiled and said, "Well, I have always been very yearning for beast control techniques, but unfortunately there is no way to apprentice in the outside world, so I really want to ask you for advice." ”

Elder Guo took a few puffs of his cigarette pouch and said, "The beast control technique is the foundation of the Ranshi Village's body in the wilderness, and it has never been passed on, so you still don't want to waste your efforts." ”

Yang Xiu felt that the other party's tone was not resolute, and looked at Elder Guo with interest, waiting for the other party to speak quietly.

Seeing that Yang Xiu had seen through his thoughts, Elder Guo took the cigarette pouch and pot and knocked twice on the corner of the table, coughed embarrassedly, and glanced at Yang Xiu before continuing: "Huzi, are all those Dao talismans on your body made by yourself?"

Yang Xiu's face suddenly turned out to be when he heard this, and he grinned, and said in his heart that he went around in such a big circle, it turned out to be for this.

There are no monks who can make talismans in the village, and it is said that the same is true in the surrounding villages. If ordinary monks want to use Dao talismans, they can only buy them from merchants, and the price can be imagined.

The merchants who came to do business in the wasteland were a whole, all of them held the art of making talismans and refused to pass it on, and even the most basic methods of making talismans such as spirit talismans were blocked like treasures, and Elder Guo had a great grudge.

In fact, the first time they saw the Dao talisman in Yang Xiu's arms, the first reaction of the other villagers was to take the Dao talisman as their own, because these small pieces of paper were too precious, and the income from a year's hunting in Ranshi Village could not be exchanged for these. But Elder Guo, who was old and serious, stopped the people who were already red-eyed, and gambled on the talisman making technique in Yang Xiu's head.

"Give me the beast control technique, I will definitely teach it!" Yang Xiu didn't make a detour, made an expression you know, and said directly.

"Deal!"

Elder Guo, who had always looked steady, laughed, raised his right hand and high-fived Yang Xiu, a trace of cunning and smugness flashed in his dim eyes, making Yang Xiu uncontrollable.

Mengru, who was passing by at the door, looked at the two laughing strangely, scratching his head in puzzlement, but thinking of the harvest that was coming soon, Menglu immediately jumped up and down excitedly, but after walking a few steps and quieting down, he took a figure-eight step with his small hand behind his back, pretending to be an old man.

......

The next day was still a sunny day, Yang Xiu and Meng Lu walked for an hour and came to the old place to hide. Monrou looked very excited, and kept looking at the sun in the sky, wondering how the sun was moving so slowly today.

Yang Xiu took out a rather old bamboo slip from his arms and looked at it patiently.

This is the "Beast Taming Manual" that Elder Guo handed over to Yang Xiu yesterday, and it is the most basic book for learning the art of beast control. After reading the content of this ancient book, Yang Xiu realized that his previous ideas were too superficial.

The process of taming the beast is complicated, first of all, we must find a spirit animal that suits us, and then it takes a long time for the spirit beast to accept itself, during which there are countless complicated and demanding details of the requirements, and finally whether the spirit beast can retreat from the natural demon and human heart, half depends on hard work, half depends on luck.
