Chapter Twenty-Three: Hunting

I slept beautifully at night, and before dawn the next morning, Lou Yi took the guy out of his cave and walked straight out of the mountain gate. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

I saw that he had two hemp ropes tied to his back, an arrow basket hanging on his left shoulder, in which more than 100 homemade bows and arrows were inserted, a firewood knife pinned to his waist, a wooden stick in his left hand with a hook made with an iron nail, and a longbow in his right hand.

These things are all homemade by him, and he used to sneak out secretly, but this time he can go out in the open, but he also knows that there are not only wild beasts in the mountains, but also some strange things, so he is not going to go too far, just go around.

Here is the perennial heavy snow to cover the mountain, and it is the door of the fairy family, generally no hunter dares to come here to hunt, which creates a natural hunting ground for him, he knows that the wild boar, roe deer, hare and pheasant here, all fat and strong, as long as you hunt one, you can eat beautifully for several days.

Before he walked out of the mountain gate, the corners of his mouth began to drool, and his steps couldn't help but be a little faster, and he disappeared outside the mountain gate before anyone else got up.

Because the sky is not bright, you can only rely on the faint light to identify the direction, fortunately there has been no snow in the past few days, and you can vaguely identify the footsteps of some people, Lou Yi looked for the footsteps forward, and soon found the way into the mountain.

He raised his head and looked at the mountain, clasped his hands together and chanted words in his mouth, as if he was praying for something, this is the rules that have been passed down from generation to generation by mountain people, Lou Qiong has taught him since he was a child, let him keep it in his heart, Lou Yi has been hunting for several years, and these rules have been observed.

For example, when entering the mountain, you must first respect the mountain, all things have spirits, and the mountains also have spirits, when hunting, do not kill the female with cubs, do not kill the solitary cubs when you encounter them, do not hunt the birds in the forest, and so on.

These are all passed down from generation to generation, and they are regarded as holy decrees by the mountain people, and they are more important than their own lives, and abiding by the rules often brings rich returns, so Qingfeng Village has always lived a very solid life, if it weren't for that catastrophe, Lou Yi would have been so happy.

After praying, he slowly opened his eyes and walked forward, the sun slowly rising from the horizon, and wisps of golden light shone from afar, reflecting on his slightly thin body, adding a different charm.

He knew that it was all because she was now a monk, and her physical fitness was very different from before, her eyes could see farther, her ears could hear farther, and even every move around him, he felt that he was under control.

Suddenly, he stopped, the soles of his feet were slightly forced, and his body jumped on the branches, hiding between the branches and leaves, his eyes looked at the snow a hundred meters away, and he held his breath and waited for it.

After a while, a black shadow like a hill walked out of the bushes behind the snow, and Lou Yi's face suddenly showed a look of surprise, this big wild boar looked like it was worth a thousand catties, if he could hunt it, it could be eaten for at least a month when it was dried and dried into meat.

But before he was happy, he became disappointed, it turned out that the huge boar, the front foot had just walked out of the grass, followed by five or six small black shadows that were dozens of times smaller, and they surrounded the big boar, walking forward step by step.

Lou Yi sighed and said, "It's not good to be a teacher......"

After the big boar left, he quickly continued to move forward, while looking for a new target, and after a while, his ears twitched slightly, and he heard the sound of a rope dozens of meters away on the left, he quickly stopped his body, and at the same time bent his bow and arrows to aim.

He heard a whoosh, and the arrow swept swiftly through the snow, and then he heard a pop, and something had been shot, which made him very happy, and he ran over in a few steps, and dragged out a large creature with colorful feathers from behind a bush.

This is a pheasant, it looks like it weighs at least twenty pounds, and the feathers are shiny, especially the two feathers on the tail, shining with colorful light, very attractive, this pheasant is cunning by nature, extremely good at camouflage and hiding, if it weren't for Lou Yi hearing the sound of its prime, I'm afraid it would never be possible to find it with the naked eye.

Tying up the spoils with hemp rope, and at the same time making a simple wooden rack with a few sticks, and throwing the pheasants in the rack, he continued to walk forward with the rack on his back, and it was not long before he entered the mountains that he could hunt this rare delicacy, and it seemed that he was very favored by the mountain gods today, so he planned to hunt a few more in one go.

At this time, the sun did not rise high, and there was frost and fog in the mountains, which greatly hindered Lou Yi's vision, and he had to stop often to identify the direction, and at the same time leave marks on some tree trunks or stones, in case he accidentally got lost.

Before he knew it, the shelves he had made on his back were already full of game, and he had hunted two pheasants alone, one on each side hanging on the two hind feet of the shelf, and his shelf was full of hares, roe deer, such common game, but his desire to hunt wild boars was ultimately frustrated.

In addition to these things, there was also a cloth sack with many mountain mushrooms, all kinds of mushrooms, and he also found some wild honey on some trees, which was very rare, and this time he could be regarded as a good harvest.

Humming a mountain song, he walked back along the road he had come, and when he was halfway there, he suddenly found that the road ahead was covered by fog, which made him feel very strange, because the sun was already high at this time, and the frost and fog around him had long since dispersed, and the fog that stood in his way back looked a little different.

Lou Yi didn't dare to rush over, but tried it with the hook in his hand, and the moment the hook was put in, he heard the sound of clicking, and when the stick was taken out, an amazing scene appeared.

A thick layer of ice crystals had condensed on the stick, and it was still spreading in the direction of his receptor, and he could feel a cold breath coming towards his palm.

He discarded the frozen stick, then took out the bow and arrow in his hand, and watched the fog in front of him, focusing on it in case something suddenly pounced out of it.

But after waiting for the time to have a cup of tea, not only was there no movement inside, but the fog also began to slowly retract, and Lou Yi's tense nerves slowly relaxed, but he still maintained the necessary vigilance.

The road that quickly disappeared slowly appeared, and the cold quickly retracted towards a small tree with a crooked neck exposed, Lou Yi noticed that the small tree was wilted, as if it was half-dead, and the position of its roots obviously showed signs of frostbite, and the surrounding turf was all dead, and the withered yellow turf was covered with frost.

An extremely cold aura emanated from the root of the small tree, and Lou Yi only got a little closer, and he felt as if his whole body was about to be frozen, and he felt that he might have encountered something good.

He had heard Liu Yuan say before that in addition to wild beasts in this mountain, there would also be some spiritual plants, which would be of great use to monks, and there would be some more precious spiritual grasses, and the sect would give a large number of merit points in exchange.

Lou Yi felt that he should have encountered some spiritual plant, otherwise there would never be such a strange phenomenon, he slowly ran the spiritual energy to circulate in his body, and suddenly the biting cold feeling weakened.

He slowly walked around to the back of the tree, first seeing a blue light appear in front of his eyes, and then he saw the second, third, and a total of five clusters of light clustered together, rooted in a cracked hole in the tree.

Each light cluster spontaneously swallowed the cold air around them, and each swallow would make their light brighter, Lou Yi looked at them, but he didn't know what it was, and thought in his heart that after he went back, he must go to ask for a medicinal herb to make up for his evils.

In case he encounters such a good thing in the future, at least he won't know how to deal with it, he looked at these five light clusters, his heart was scratching his heart, he wanted to take these five light clusters away, but Liu Yuan once told him that spirit plants are spiritual, and they can't be picked directly by hand, and the spirit grass itself condenses the essence of heaven and earth, and it is likely to be injured by it if he makes a rash move.

He also told himself that some extraordinarily precious spirit grasses would be accompanied by spirit-guarding demon beasts, and it was likely that they would be attacked by them if they made a rash move.

Thinking of all this, he decisively gave up the idea of picking, he decided to go back first to ask for a pharmacopoeia, check what the name of this spirit grass is, and then find a way to come again, this place is relatively hidden, and few people come on weekdays, thinking about it is only one day, it should not be taken away first.

What's more, when he came, he didn't find the existence of this spirit grass, if it wasn't for them swallowing cold air, I'm afraid he wouldn't know about their existence, after making up his mind, Lou Yi kept the surrounding environment in his mind, and then left without looking back.

When he returned to Lou Yi of the sect, he divided the game on his body into two, kept one for himself, and packed the rest for Liu Yuan to bring over, and at the same time asked Liu Yuan if there were any classics about spiritual plants.

As a result, what disappointed him was that Liu Yuan did not have books on this subject, but he told himself that he could go to the place where the outer disciples traded, and Lou Yi remembered that when he went to receive the outer door classics before, he saw a lot of disciples trading.

Liu Yuan told him that this kind of book generally does not exceed one rune coin, and it is easy to trade, after Lou Yi said goodbye to Liu Yuan, he went straight to the place where the disciple traded, as Liu Yuan expected, this thing is available in many stalls, and after he walked around, he spent eighty runes to get a copy from a middle-aged disciple.

He was just happy and excited, but he didn't see that the disciple who exchanged for his books flashed a strange look in his eyes, and even his nose moved slightly a few times, as if he was sniffing something.

But Lou Yi didn't know all this, he had already walked quickly towards the place where he lived with the book, and the middle-aged man quickly packed up his things and quietly followed, and when he saw where Lou B lived, he looked around and left quietly.
