Chapter 22: Catching Wild Horses
Wildlife is abundant in the wilderness area.
Wild elephants, bison, wild tigers.
Zebras, rhinos, water crocodiles.
The flesh and blood of wild beasts could be eaten, the bones and bones were used to make ointment, the fur was used to make clothes, and the teeth were used to make weapons.
Along the way, many bison were killed by Zhou Sheng, and the bezoar was harvested.
The tiger's whip and bones should also be put away, these are good things.
These large beasts are fierce, with white teeth that can crush rocks and strong limbs that make them excellent for running.
Hunting is quite dangerous if it is not well prepared.
......
Ahead is a large area called Yunmist.
The water and grass in the clouds and mist are abundant, I don't know how many years no one has patronized, and all life is growing strongly.
The yellow eel, which is several meters long, has scales on its surface and has coral horns on its head, which is almost like turning into a dragon and soaring into the sky.
A bullfrog the size of a puppy, a loach the thickness of an arm, and a large carp one or two meters long.
There is a piece of dead wood not far away, and if you look closely, you will find that it is a large crocodile more than ten meters long. The thick tail swept away, and everything around it was flattened.
......
......
When they came here, the horses that sat down were neighing, and the horses' hooves were walking around anxiously, refusing to move forward with anything.
There is an abandoned ancient city in the depths of the clouds, and the surrounding areas are completely in a state of desolation, which is very dangerous.
......
Zhou Sheng, Lao Tian, and Heita broke into the swamp alone.
The rest of the people are responsible for tending the horses, harvesting water and weeds, and feeding the horses.
There are many roads along the way. Since the food in the swamp is plentiful. So you don't have to bring too much food.
The fish in Osawa are delicious.
A few days later, the migration route of the wild horse herd was also found. Just find the horse's droppings and follow the vines.
Through the fresh horse manure, they knew that the wild horses had just passed, and they chased after them.
......
......
In the distance, I saw the black herd of horses.
Young ponies and pregnant mares are in the center of the herd, and adult strong horses form a large circle on the periphery.
Hiss~~
The sound of horses roaring.
At the front of the herd was the four-hooved king of wild horses.
Bowl-sized hooves, long black manes fluttering in the wind while running, strong and beautiful limbs, indescribable divine horses. What a good horse!
The streamlined body has no fat and is in the stage of being young and strong.
It runs like a divine dragon and can take on the title of Ryoma.
The king of horses is in the lead, and no horse dares to keep up with it. It drives away the prey in front of it, including tigers, lions, cheetahs, and wild wolves, and whenever there is prey that can't run, it will be kicked to death by the horse king.
This wild horse king actually knows how to herd. These prey are his sheep.
Thousands of horses in the herd, none of which dared to challenge its leadership, was followed by two of the most beautiful mares. Both the pattern and the gloss of the coat are among the best among all mares.
It also enjoys the fattest food.
Horses don't have to eat grass, and horses eat meat, at least this horse king eats meat.
......
......
Zhou Sheng nodded, very satisfied with this wild horse king.
Riding it, I believe it will greatly increase his combat power. It can be interspersed in the battlefield......
Moreover, the heavy armor he created could also be worn on this horse, invulnerable, and only this kind of good horse could carry tens of thousands of tons of armor.
......
......
"Musket"
Zhou Sheng stretched out his hand to adjust his spirit to the best state.
Heita handed him the large-caliber musket, the bullets inside had been modified to be more explosive.
Bang~~
Gunshots rang out, horses commotioned, and began to gallop unconsciously.
The gunshot threw the horses into chaos.
With a roar of rage, the King kicked a few of the wild horses that were making a fuss, biting to death the two black sheep who had taken advantage of the chaos to oppose his rule.
The king of horses likes to bite their buttocks, and those dead horses are drenched in blood, and a large piece of flesh is torn off by it.
The horse's teeth are suitable for chewing grass and are not very sharp. But the King of Horses is an exception, just by looking at the big white teeth, you know that this thing can be used as a sword.
The herd of horses settled down under the rule of the King of Horses.
Then another gunshot rang out, causing the horses to riot again.
......
......
The process of subduing a Mustang King is not simple, and it takes a step by step effort and patience to make it irritable.
Thousands of wild horses came in a storm, no matter how good the martial arts were, it was useless, everything had to be trampled into pulp.
Unless you cultivate into a true god, you can fly, so you won't be afraid.
This horse king has the Liliang of the Great Perfection God. And he has already begun to hone his spiritual power, coupled with his pure mind, like a child, it can be said that there is no bottleneck.
After it reaches adulthood, it will be tempered for a period of time, and when it reaches its peak, it will have a liliang that is infinitely close to the true god.
If you become a true god, you can run through the void without wings, and your four hooves will be like stepping on the real ground.
......
In the months that followed, Zhou Sheng was consumed with the wild horse.
Exhaust your heart and soul to fight with it.
Every time the herd settled or ate, he would fire a shot to stir the herd.
In the back, the horses had gradually adapted to this kind of gunfire and no longer made a fuss, and then Zhou Sheng really began to shoot at the horses.
A steed fell, and the blood of his companions caused another commotion.
......
......
The king of horses became irritable.
The spirituality of the watery eyes revealed a trace of violence, it stared in all directions, sniffed vigorously, seemed to feel a strange breath, and rushed over with its four hooves galloping.
The horses behind also galloped, and the earth shook violently.
Countless birds flew up in shock, hovering overhead.
The vultures saw it, too, and looked at the horses, ready to find some dead bodies left over from the war to eat.
The snake-eating bird also puts down the delicious poisonous snake in its mouth. This one looks like a chicken. Birds with sharp and long beaks are the nemesis of snakes.
......
"Withdraw!"
Zhou Sheng and the three hurriedly retreated. Don't fight with the herd.
......
......
A year later, the king was restless, and his people were less than three hundred horses.
However, to his delight, one of his concubines had given birth to a young horse, inherited his fine pedigree, and was a good horse when he grew up.
On this day, Zhou Sheng is ready to play in person and tame this wild guy.
The two sides fought for several days. Pure competition strength, and finally pressed it to the ground, and all the delicious things were greeted together, which made the king of horses, who was about to commit suicide, have a change of heart.
Zhou Sheng stroked the long horse's face and said happily: "From today on, you will be the mount of my life, accompanying me to dominate the world." You run like a black storm, so call it the black wind!"
turned over and rode on the black wind, and did not put a horse on it, which is also the reason why the king of horses surrendered. Saddles and the like are not allowed to be used on it. It likes to be free.
At the same time, it is necessary to provide thousands of catties of fine meat every day, and it is not possible to lack one or two. And a few hundred eggs. A few bags of soybeans should be ground into soybean flour and a few carts of delicious grass.
......
......
Black Wind said goodbye to the horses, and the two mares followed the horses with their ponies, which was what Black Wind meant.
If you stay in the human shijie for a long time, the wild nature will degenerate, and it will not be a good horse, and I believe that this pony will grow into the next king of horses.
Looking at the departing horses, tears welled up in its eyes, and it said goodbye to its free life.
......
......
Back at the farmstead, everything was served with good food and drink.
The stables are clean and free of lice and mosquitoes, and the droppings are cleaned several times a day to ensure that there is no odor.
The other horses were taken aside, and when they smelled the king of horses, they became restless, neighing, and noisy.
The horse's belly is also covered with licorice, which is very soft.
The fence gate of the stables is also unlocked, so it is free to hang out as you like.
......
"Owner, Heifeng doesn't seem to be in the mood, the food he eats today has been greatly reduced, he has lost a little weight, and the luster of his hair has dimmed a little, do you want to find a veterinarian to take a look~~" Lao Tian suggested.
"It's normal, just changed your habits, it's all like this, and it'll be normal in a few days. Prepare the food for it, boil some gruel, and add a few handfuls of dried fruits and almonds......"
......
......
Zhou Sheng had nothing to do, and practiced martial arts in the courtyard all day long, drawing a bow and archery.
He also rode the black wind to hunt a lot of wild things in the wilderness, cut off the big tendons in the beast's body and the cartilage at both ends of the bones, boiled them into medicinal juice, and applied them all over the body to enhance the strength of the muscles and bones.
......
A stable life.
......
......
In the very center of the Celestial and Human Continent, there is a magnificent big city, the city wall is hundreds of meters high and dozens of meters thick, even if it is not broken by guns.
It is stacked with large hard bluestone bricks, and the cracks in the masonry are poured with molten steel. After solidification, there is not a single gap, and the blade cannot be inserted.
The towers in the city are all steam towers, boundless.
I don't know how big the city is, how many people it contains, but one thing is for sure, it's a thriving capital.
This is the capital of the Heavenly People, and it is also the core of the Heavenly and Human Sect.
Hundreds of airships patrol back and forth in the sky, and there are mobile troops on the ground on standby.
In the middle of the city, there is a behemoth.
It was a steam tower, a steam tower of more than a million meters. Compared with the surrounding steam towers, they all want to be muddy.
This is the Eternal Steam Tower, one of the Seven Essences of the Heavenly and Human Sect!
It's a perpetual motion machine, and it's the biggest power machine that sustains this magnificent giant city, costing countless blackstones every day.
Every minute it runs, it produces an unimaginably large amount of steam.
The maintenance costs of the Eternal Steam Tower are also very high, and countless people have to be mobilized every year to get inside this huge creature and keep those screw parts running.
There are three million logisticians who serve this big guy alone. This includes transporting blackstones, repairing parts, and unclogging pipes.
......
The steam tower is also silvery-white, and the slight difference from a normal steam tower is that it has a faint gold dot on its silver-white shell.
......
The capital of heaven and man, as the highest center of a continent with a radius of several thousand pieces, has countless merchants and travelers coming here. The number of migrants alone exceeds 10,000 trillion every year.
All kinds of rare resources are also entered through various legal and illegal channels. And then outflow. Cycle back and forth.
The headquarters of various chambers of commerce are also here, which is arguably the safest place.
Wealthy nobles, lords of the continent, and children of the sect also gathered here.
And Daqingshan, which is in the western city, is the core sect of the Heavenly and Human Sect, and it is also the place where the sect leader and some Void Ancestors retreat. There are also some ancestors who have been playing in the world outside and don't like this kind of retreat life.
......
There are more than 10,000 True God disciples on Daqing Mountain!
10,000 true gods, the daily amount of vitality is an unimaginably large number, and the air around this mountain range often becomes a vacuum. I don't know which being sucked into my lungs in one breath.
......
The highest in the Heavenly Man Sect is the sect master, that is, the master of the sect, Taiqing Tian.
The second is those Void Venerables.
Further down is the Elder King, the Great Elder, and the Elder.
Zuihou is a disciple of the true God.
In other words, only by becoming a true god can one be a true disciple of the Heavenly and Human Sect. Under the true gods, they are just peripheral miscellaneous disciples, and they do not enter the stream.
There are few disciples in the sect, after all, the true god is not so easy to achieve, but the quality is high!
These True God disciples all possess the most systematic training methods and inexhaustible resources to squander. The most haode cultivation conditions, the most powerful secret arts. The most powerful weapon.
They are all elites, and if they pick out one at random, they can single-handedly pick out three or four ordinary true gods outside.
Promoting to a true god and becoming a true disciple of the Heavenly and Human Sect is also the wish of all people in the sect.
......
......
A mansion in the eastern part of the city, covering an area of more than 100,000 hectares, is like a city within a city, and has built its own walls.
Outside the house, the scarlet carpet is paved for hundreds of miles, all made of precious beast skins, without a trace of artificial materials.
A big red lantern and a horse light.
Every year, more than 100,000 people come out of it and go to various places to collect rent, pay taxes, and keep the mansion running.
The food that the people inside eat is not rice, and even those maids don't eat this kind of grain.
The pills they eat are all pills, Bai Yuan Dan, which replenishes vitality, and each grain is made from 5,000 catties of polished rice, which has been pressed, screened, and refined layer by layer.
Bags of Bai Yuandan were transported in this way.
Of course, there are also some medicinal herbs, exquisite and rare meat, melons, fruits and fresh vegetables will be sent in, after all, although the pill is delicious, it is not satisfying.
This is the Qiu family's mansion.
The Qiu family prospered because their family head and several family ancestors were true god disciples in the Heavenly and Human Sect.
The servants of the Qiu family ate a large tonic diet, pills, bathed with herbal water, wore silk and satin, and could buy a manor outside with their monthly silver.
These servants are also very athletic and should not be underestimated. Becoming a servant of such a wealthy family is what many people in the outside world are willing to aspire to.
As for the owner, the degree of luxury is unimaginable.
......
A corner of this mansion, in a courtyard.
It is full of osmanthus trees, the osmanthus flowers are fragrant, and the fresh osmanthus flowers are also made into osmanthus cakes, which are served for tasting.
Brewing tea with the dew collected drop by drop on the tip of the grass in the early morning, every two tea leaves can be sold at a high price, which can enhance the spirit and improve the qualification.
There are also hundreds of other pastries, preserves, gruel, and small steamed buns on the table.
Japonica porridge, steamed cheese with sugar, steamed chestnut flour cake with osmanthus sugar, Ruyi cake, acacia soup, auspicious fruit, pearl jade glutinous rice balls, lotus leaf soup, plum blossom fragrant cake, fragrant herb drink, rose crisp, tangram dim sum, flower blossom wealth, jade celery shrimp dumplings......
There are thousands of large plates and small plates.
As for the tea that strengthens the spirit, it is only used to rinse the mouth after meals.
......
......
An old woman dressed in a big red cloth sat at the table and ate her pastries, eating slowly and orderly, but the food on the table was reduced in stacks.
At least dozens of handsome young men served her meal.
Next to her, it was Qiu Tian, his head had been treated, but there were still some sequelae, those scars could not be removed, although they looked very faint, and they could not be seen if they did not look closely.
He also got a new pair of eyes, brighter.
His original eyeballs had already been blasted by Zhou Sheng's punch. He has new eyes, which means that there is another unfortunate person in the world who has lost his light.
