At dusk, it's getting late.

Qi Jingzhi hid in a bush, carefully looking out through the gaps in the branches and leaves.

Not far in front of him was an old pine tree, covered with a thick layer of pine needles.

On the pine needles is a large bamboo cage with an open mouth and a pheasant tied up with five flowers.

Time passed like water, the red sunset gradually disappeared into the treetops, and the dense forest became darker and darker.

Suddenly, there was a rustling sound under the old pine tree.

Qi Jingzhi was immediately shocked, and when he looked at it with wide eyes, he saw that in the dim skylight, a small figure appeared next to the bamboo cage.

It was a little creature more than a foot long, with red fur, a slender nose, and a pair of eyes glowing with a faint green light.

"Is it a fox?"

Qi Jingzhi thought to himself, but still didn't move.

I saw the red fox walking around the bamboo cage, and suddenly made a muffling sound in his mouth, as if a baby was laughing.

Instead of getting through the mouth of the bamboo cage, it went around to the side close to the pheasant, opened its mouth and bit into the cage.

Its teeth were extremely sharp, and it took few strokes to bite open a tough bamboo strip.

Sensing the danger, the pheasant in the cage became visibly agitated, staring, and turning its neck restlessly, but its wings and claws were tied firmly, and it was impossible to get up at all.

In just a few moments, the red fox had already bitten a big hole in the bamboo cage.

Cautiously, it reached out with one of its front paws, slowly reached into the bamboo cage, and hooked the string that bound the pheasant's feet.

The pheasant began to struggle frantically, and his mouth let out a high-pitched and high-pitched chirp.

The red fox immediately bared his teeth and whined a few times, as if he was threatening and scolding.

The pheasant suddenly stopped struggling, and its cry changed to a wail, allowing the red fox to drag it out of its cage.

Seeing this, Qi Jingzhi couldn't help frowning, and gently clasped the handle of the bull ear sharp knife in his left sleeve with his fingers.

The handle of the knife was only slightly warm, far worse than when Lu Yunzi appeared.

The boy relaxed slightly, and continued to look in the direction of the bamboo cage.

I saw that the red fox had already pressed the pheasant to the ground, and its sharp teeth bit its neck fiercely.

The bloody qi quickly spread among the mountains and forests.

In a few moments, the poor pheasant died.

The red fox let go of its mouth, and the man stood up, and his mouth screamed twice, as if he was extremely proud.

At this moment, the thick pine needles under the old pine tree suddenly made a loud noise, and a large net rose from below, and instantly the red fox that stole the chicken, together with the pheasant and the bamboo cage, all went into it, and hung it in the air.

Qi Jingzhi picked up the bushes, flexibly got out of it, and jumped under the old pine tree in a few steps.

He looked up and saw that the red fox's fur was as red as fire, and the color was extremely gorgeous.

When the red fox saw the young man, a fierce light immediately appeared in his eyes, and he grinned his teeth, and let out the same whining roar again.

The corners of Qi Jingzhi's mouth curled slightly, and then he opened his mouth and scolded: "Dare to bare your teeth when you are dying!" In the past few days, you don't know how much bait you have stolen from the master, I don't want to be embarrassed by you, but you have intensified, I really don't know how to write dead words! ”

With that, he reached out and grabbed the red fox by the neck through the net.

The red fox immediately became ferocious, opened its mouth wide, revealing a circle of white Sensen's fangs, turned its head and bit the young man's palm vigorously, and its four paws also scratched indiscriminately.

Qi Jingzhi snorted coldly, and his hand was violently forced, only to hear a crisp click, the red fox screamed, and his body stiffened.

Without hesitation, the young man took out the hunting knife from behind his waist, used the handle of the knife as a hammer, and smashed it several times at the center of the red fox's eyebrows and the back of his head, smashing it until its eyes bulged out and its mouth and nose were bleeding, and it was as if it was dead.

Seeing this, Qi Jingzhi breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile while looking at the corpse of the red fox: "This guy has a good coat of fur, which is just used to pay off the debt of stealing bait, and fox meat is even better nourishing meat!" ”

He looked up at the sky, and saw that the moonlight was already shining through the gaps in the trees, and muttered, "I have come out a little far today, and I am afraid that I will not be able to go back." Besides, this peeling and taking the meat still has to be hot, and it is difficult to separate the skin and flesh when it is late, and it is a waste of good things in vain, which is evil. ”

As he spoke, Qi Jingzhi took back the hunting knife, put down the net, took out the fox corpse, and looked around again, and saw a stream not far away, which looked very bright in the moonlight, and immediately packed up all the tools and walked over.

He found a large rock by the stream, put all the sundries on the stone face, and sat down with his back against the big stone.

Immediately, he pulled out the bull's ear sharp knife with one hand, picked up the right hind leg of the fox corpse with the other, started the knife from the elbow joint, and picked it all the way along the inner thigh, first opening a file for the fox corpse.

"Speaking of eating meat, I only learned to practice the first layer of kung fu to stretch the muscles and pull out the bones, and the amount of food is fully doubled, and I have to eat a lot of meat, otherwise I don't need to go so far into the mountains."

Qi Jingyi peeled the skin with his hands, and thought in his heart: "Fortunately, I am not yet sixteen years old, and the fascia of the joints has not yet died. ”

"I remember that in the fragment of the "Immortal Feather Sutra", it was specifically mentioned that fox meat can remove the five internal organs, and it is best to eat it when washing the marrow and cutting the hair. The beast slammed into my hand without knowing it, but it was just in time. ”

After thinking about it, Qi Jingzhi had simply peeled off the skin of the fox corpse's right hind leg, cut off the tailbone and leg bone, and left only the foot pad of the right hind paw.

"Well, these bones don't have any special effect on cultivation, so choose a few pieces and bring them back to make wine for Grandpa."

Under the bright moon, in the deep forest, by the creek and beside the big rock, the young man had a smile on his face, quietly skinning the corpse of the red fox. When ordinary people saw it, they were afraid that they would be frightened.

Qi Jingzhi himself was unaware, and dragged the left hind leg of the fox corpse over.

After also skinning and removing the bones, he turned over the skin of the two hind legs of the fox corpse, and cut the tendons with a knife while pulling upward, completely separating the skin from the flesh.

Then, he went to concoct the two forelimbs in the same way, and did not forget to pick an inch-long opening under each of the armpits of the fox corpse, so that he could turn the leg bones out of the skin later.

The last step is scalping, which requires the most delicate steps, and the ears, nose, eyes, and mouth of the red fox must be preserved intact.

This kind of work, in the past, Qi Laohan personally ended up, Qi Jingzhi really hasn't done it a few times, if you want not to make a mistake, you have to pay full attention.

He worked hard like this, and I don't know how long it took before he finally put down the knife.

The young man held the whole fox fur in front of him, looked at it seriously for a long time, and nodded with satisfaction: "The next thing is the time-consuming work of scraping, washing, shaping, and drying, and I am not in a hurry." ”

As he spoke, he spread the fox skin on the bluestone, picked up some firewood, made a fire and roasted a fox leg, and devoured it.

With a full burp in his mouth, the young man thought contentedly, "Let's practice Feihe Boxing first." ”

In the fragment of the "Immortal Feather Sutra", the step of boiling the muscles and bones outside the country is divided into three layers, namely stretching the muscles and pulling the bones, washing the marrow and cutting the hair, and being dedicated to softness, all of which are the water mill kung fu that lays the foundation.

Feihe boxing, as an introductory boxing method, is the most capable of stretching muscles and bones, and it requires Qi Jingzhi to practice diligently for a long time.

He stood up slowly, not in a hurry to practice boxing, but first recited the boxing sutra silently.

"Immortal Feather, Crane also."

"Cranes, yang birds, and swim in the yin. Because of the golden gas, the fire essence is self-nourishing. The number of gold is nine, the number of fire is seven, so the crane has a small change in seven years, a big change in sixteen years, a change in one hundred and sixty years, and a shape of 1,600 years. ”

"The body is still clean, so its color is white. The sound is heard in the sky, so its head is red. It eats in water, so its beak is long. It inhabits land, so its feet are high. Soaring in the clouds, the hair is abundant and the meat is sparse. The big throat is spit, and the neck is trimmed to accept the new, so the longevity is immeasurable. The line must be according to the continent, do not collect forests, the patriarch of the Gaiyu clan, and the Qiji of the immortal family are also ......"
