Early in the morning, the east wharf of Qinghe County.

The breeze blew coolly, the sky was drizzling, and an old man wearing a hat and a cloak sat comfortably on the shore fishing.

A fishing rod made of bamboo, a fishing line twisted from small strands of twine, and a pigeon's feather as a float......

This year's warm weather and days of light rain have allowed the earthworms in the soil to burrow into the ground to breathe – and the bait is available.

"Come on!"

The old man raised his hand, and a half-foot-long white fish flew out of the water and landed on the ground with a "pop".

The white fish had just fluttered a few times before it was grabbed by a wizened palm and thrown into the basket with great accuracy.

Unbeknownst to the people, a moment later, several silver rays of light rose above the fish basket, condensing into the shape of an earthworm.

The silver light lasted only a few breaths before dissipating into the air again.

"It seems that regenerative power is not so easy to obtain. After all, unlike earthworms, which have five hearts, my body is a simple cavity. ”

Zhao Lin passed by the old man and thought after a quick glance.

Perhaps because the body structure is too different, it seems that the spirit animal diagram is easier to extract the essence from the animal.

For insects, only the spirit can be seen, but so far no one has been found to be able to absorb it.

Zhao Lin is now the commander of the hunt, and the patrol task assigns his subordinates to catch and do it quickly, but he is so bored that he stays in the yamen, and occasionally comes out to patrol the streets to feel the customs of the county.

"It's hit, I'm hit!"

There was a cry of joy from the front, and a fat half-sized boy with a slingshot in his hand ran towards a sparrow that had fallen to the ground.

Grain ships often dock at the docks, where nearby sparrows gather to steal the fallen grain.

"Brother is so powerful, is the bird alive? I want to take it back and raise it. A little girl clapped her hands.

"I'll see!" Chubby Pier picks up the sparrow from the ground.

Seeing the sparrow's spirit rise, Zhao Lin thought to himself that they might be disappointed.

"Alas, dead again."

Sure enough, Chubby exclaimed in disappointment.

Zhao Lin shook his head amusedly, and was about to leave, when he suddenly found that the spirit beast diagram in his mind had moved!

He thought he was dazzled, but when he looked closely, the spirit beast diagram shook violently, and the meaning was very obvious: the spirit of the sparrow could be absorbed!

"What's the situation?"

Zhao Lin was taken aback, he had already tried to kill birds, and he had seen other hunters hunting birds, but the spirit beast diagrams were all unresponsive without exception.

What's going on today?

He stopped, suspicious, feeling that his previous perception had suddenly been overturned.

I don't have wings, how can I absorb the spirit of a sparrow?

Could it be that sparrows have other special abilities?

No way! Sparrows are the most common birds, and even their ability to fly is the weakest among birds.

Or...... Is this sparrow different?

He looked at the dusty sparrow in the little fat dun's hand, there was nothing special, and he felt even more puzzled.

Why did the Spirit Animal Diagram suddenly change?

What happens if you absorb the spirit of a sparrow?

Zhao Lin had been thinking about this all morning, and he didn't have the heart to do anything else at all.

He was able to get to this day, and the spirit beast diagram contributed a lot, so he attached great importance to this matter.

"Brother Zhao...... Zhao Chief. ”

Zhao Lin was thinking about the sparrow, and didn't notice that Liang Song walked over from across the street with Tao Erxuan and the other two catchers.

After he became the commander of the arrest, he promoted Liang Song to be the squad leader, responsible for the security of the two streets.

"It's okay......"

Zhao Lin was about to be confused, when he suddenly remembered that Liang Song was from Orion, and said, "You know how to catch sparrows, right?" Help me catch a few, I'm going to live! ”

Liang Song was stunned, he didn't expect Zhao Lin to make such a strange request.

But he thought about it, when he had no food to eat before, he also caught sparrows everywhere to satisfy his hunger, maybe Zhao Lin wanted to recall the previous taste, so he didn't ask the reason, and said with a smile: "The house finches are very thieves, but it is not difficult to catch them." ”

"Then let's go."

Zhao Lin sent Tao Er stunned and the two catchers away, and pulled Liang Song to the river embankment.

"Wait a minute, get a few tools ready."

Liang Song said a little funny.

After speaking, he took Zhao Lin to the market and bought two large bamboo plaques and a bamboo cage.

"Simple, right?"

Liang Song took out the rope around his waist and shook it.

Seeing these tools, Zhao Lin smiled dumbly.

This method of catching birds has been learned in textbooks before, and it is still an article by Brother Xun.

"When it snowed, I swept out a clearing, and set up a large bamboo plaque with a short stick, and scattered the grain, and when the birds came to eat, I pulled the rope tied to the stick from a distance, and the birds and birds covered the bamboo plaque."

The two came to the embankment, erected a bamboo plaque with an iron ruler, placed it in a place where birds and birds often haunted, and held a rope in their hands to guard it from afar.

There were so many sparrows on the banks of the river that they didn't have long eyes to come, and they caught seven or eight sparrows in less than an hour.

"Enough, enough."

Zhao Lin smiled and lifted the bamboo cage containing the sparrows, patted his stomach, "Let's find a place to eat first." ”

In order to catch the birds, the two didn't even bother to eat lunch.

"Master Catcher, can you give me a sparrow?"

The little chubby dun who had just hit the sparrow with a slingshot came over, looked at the official clothes on the two of them, and said timidly.

"Don't call it any master, take it!"

Zhao Lin took out a sparrow from the cage and handed it to him with a smile.

"Thank you, Master Headcatcher."

Little Fat Dun carefully took the sparrow, thanked him, ran to the little girl, and showed off loudly: "Look, I'm coming!" ”

Liang Song looked at the back of the little chubby dun and shook his head, "The sparrow has the greatest temperament, if you don't eat or drink after you catch it, I won't be able to see it for two days, and I will definitely be angry." ”

Then he said to Zhao Lin: "There is little sparrow meat, you better fry it, put some pepper and salt, it tastes very good." ”

……

Liuhe door, backyard study.

"What, Runze Dan ate?"

The old man in white stared wide-eyed, looked at Zhu Huaishan in surprise, his face was full of disbelief, "Senior Brother Zhu, don't joke with me, the power realm has not been cultivated, and it will not work if you eat it." ”

"Senior Brother Pan, how could I joke with you about this kind of thing?"

Zhu Huaishan smiled, secretly proud in his heart.

He had long had concerns about this, the Runze Pill medicinal materials were difficult to find, and even with the wealth of the Xingyun Sect, he could only refine a few in a year.

It's strange that no one has made up their minds about such a good thing.

Fortunately, I gave it to Zhao Lin yesterday, and I am afraid that there will be twists and turns in the matter one day later.

The old man in white couldn't hide his disappointment, his face was slightly gloomy, "I heard that your apprentice Zhao Lin has just been practicing his bones for a short time, why did he practice his muscles so quickly?" You won't give the pill to other apprentices, will you? ”

Zhu Huaishan shook his head, "Senior Brother Pan inquired clearly, but I can't hide it, Zhao Lin's strength realm has been cultivated."

The old man in white's eyes flashed, "Is this true?" ”

"It's true!"

The old man in white suddenly smiled, "Zhao Lin is only sixteen years old, right?" If it is really as you said, practicing tendons at the age of sixteen, even in the Xingyun Sect, you can be ranked first. ”

"Such a good apprentice, I want to see it."
