Volume 2: Snow Ridge Please Ling - Haidong Imperial Mausoleum Chapter 210: Heavy Snow Covers the Mountain
The wind howls and the snow howls all night.
When Yue Guanchao opened his eyes, the fire kang was burning for half the night, and there was still residual temperature.
There was a white mist on the window, and it was so blurry and white that I couldn't see clearly.
He took out his fingers to wipe away the mist, and the old pine outside the courtyard experienced a night of white frost, and the snow was already deep and crushed the branches.
In the distance, the towering peaks of the green forest, which had been covered by snow, gradually faded into greenness after the snow accumulated all night, and only remained
Boundless snow white.
Thousands of ravines, layers of mountains, all of them are wrapped in silver.
A few wild eagles flew by, breaking through the boundaries of the Tianshan Mountains, allowing people to see clearly where the outline of the snow ridge and the sky was!
Nearby, Ge Da and several nurses were already clearing the snow trail in the courtyard to clear the way to each courtyard, and Yue Guanchao put on a cotton suit and wore a felt hat and walked out of the wing.
As soon as the white-haired wind blew, it made people's goosebumps rise, the air was cold and pure, and every bite seemed to be frozen into the lungs.
When Gerda saw him come to his side, he looked into the distance:
"I'm afraid I won't be able to go today,"
"This kind of heavy snow has blocked the mountain road to Baiyun Peak, and it will take at least four or five days to completely melt the snow, and we can only stay in the village for a few days!"
Yue Guanchao looked into the distance, the mountain road that was clear the day before yesterday has indeed disappeared today, once the mountain road is hidden in the thick snow layer, no one is sure to find the right direction, and resting on the spot is the right thing.
"Okay, I'm just going to ask you a question!"
His words made Geda curious, and the hunter hurriedly put his arms around his neck:
"I asked myself if my martial arts were not as good as Brother Yue, and I didn't know what you could learn from me!"
Yue Guanchao put his backhand around his shoulders and looked at the golden-backed eagle fluttering its wings on the old tree:
"Well, you can tame the rebellious golden-backed falcon, and I'll have to steal your craft back."
"Do you want to boil the eagle?"
The so-called boiling eagle is the method of falconry!
Among the birds in the sky, most of the eagles are birds of prey, and the Kunpeng soars, looks around and looks coldly, flies and chases them, and drinks blood!
This large and fierce bird of prey, even the beasts on the ground, is enough to see its fierce nature, if domesticated into a falcon, is the best assistant for hunting and patrolling.
However, birds are easy to tame, but eagles are unyielding!
Birds of prey, so to speak, never disdained to be falcons or serve any master, they are lords of the sky, hunters of heaven and earth, and their ambitions are always in the blue sky and clouds, and the vast sky.
This powerful bird of prey has an iron willpower, and if you want to domesticate it, you can only succeed if you destroy their willpower.
The key to this lies in the method of "boiling", and only the hunter's will can survive the falcon in order to become their master.
The method of boiling the eagle, Yue Guanchao has long known.
But how to boil the eagle, he didn't know, plus falconry has always been the secret of Orion, Yue Guanchao wanted to ask others for advice, but he might not tell him, there was this opportunity, of course he had to seize it.
Yue Guanchao saw that Ge Da guessed his thoughts, and hurriedly nodded and acquiesced:
"Yes, I want to tame an eagle for my use."
Geda whistled, the golden-backed eagle fluttered its wings, and jumped on Geda's shoulder, he looked at his eagle, and said:
"That's not taming!"
"Huh?"
Yue Guanchao's eyes widened, and his face was full of confusion: "What is it called taming!" ”
"It's called respect!"
"What's the difference?"
Yue Guanchao didn't know why Ge Da was entangled in this word, and Ge Da explained in a matter:
"That's not the same, domesticated poultry will become more or less gentle and tame, even if an ordinary person approaches it, they will not blow up their feathers and attack, they will succumb to humans."
"But falcons are different!"
Geda's expression became serious, and he looked at the Golden-backed Eagle as if he was looking at his partner:
"The falcon is never afraid of humans, it is loyal only to those who tame it, and once others approach the falcon, it will still show a bird of prey posture."
"From this point of view, you must have the quality that the falcon admires - strong willpower, so that you can win in the falconry, otherwise you have not been convinced of the eagle, you have fallen asleep first, then how can it be called respected."
"Falcon, never serve the weak, only the strong!"
At these words, Ge Da's eyes were extremely cold, and Yue Guanchao understood that these words were his heartfelt words, and they were also the respect of a wild mountain hunter for birds of prey!
"Good!"
"So how?"
Yue Guanchao thought of the sparrowhawk, he had to tame it, once he tamed it, then there would be less work around him, more assistants, why not.
"Nacheng, I'll take you to the back mountain after lunch, and I'll teach you how to boil eagles."
"It's a deal!"
Yue Guanchao was very happy when he saw that Ge Da had promised him, and after lunch, he followed Ge Da to the slope of the back of the Qingniu Ao.
In front, there is a ramp on the hillside, which can be used to reach the grass col behind the mountain.
Let's go, I'll take you to catch a falcon first, and then teach you how to boil a falcon!
"No need, the eagle I want to tame has already had a goal."
Yue Guanchao whistled, Bai Feng chirped a few times, and a sparrowhawk flew from the void, and Ge Da saw this eagle and understood everything.
"You, you want to tame someone else's tamed eagle?"
Waiting for Yue Guanchao to nod, Ge Da's eyes became curious:
"Brother Yue, there are many ownerless wild eagles in the black hands of the White Mountain, why do you have to tame others?"
Yue Guanchao raised his head and refused to compromise:
"Can't you?"
"Yes, it's just going to be a lot harder."
