21. Jedi Thrill (5)
In Li Xiangru's memory, he has been in Wudang for more than two years, and the winter in Wudang Mountain is very cold every year, which makes him unbearable. He grew up in the south, and he was most afraid of winter and the most intolerant of cold. But in this cliff, the cold wind is several times stronger than other places, except for the ancient trees a few feet above can slightly block the wind and snow, it can be said that it is cold on all sides, but now he does not feel how cold, even he himself feels strange.
He jumped up and practiced boxing on the platform, the blood flow all over his body, and after a while, he was already sweating slightly. Next, he sat on the platform to breathe and breathe, his breathing and breathing prescription was taught to him by Xun Yuhe, Xun Yuhe saw that his physique was thin, so he taught some simple ways to enhance the inner body, let him practice on his own.
Li Xiangru is diligent, he does not dare to slack off on the master's teachings, he always has to take time to practice for a few hours every day, breathing and breathing is the basis for practicing internal strength, Wudang internal strength is the world's first-class authenticity, Li Xiangru has accumulated a lot of internal force in his body, plus the Wudang faction breathing and breathing prescription that has been practiced diligently for more than two years, the internal force has reached a higher level, and the body's resistance has naturally increased, which is why he does not feel how cold it is in such a cold winter.
Li Xiangru meditated for more than two hours and felt warm in his body. Glancing at the pile of bird feathers, he suddenly had an idea: "This bird feathers are extremely warm, could it be that Xiao Ling signaled me to pluck them off for the purpose of winter?"
The snow was falling hard again. One after another, permeating the distant mountains and near the trees. Li Xiangru stood up and found out the half-truncated beak of the Rixiang Spirit Bird some time ago, the broken beak was as sharp as a knife blade, Li Xiangru used it to peel off a few pieces of ancient bark, each about a few feet long, and pulled it with his hand, the bark was extremely flexible, and it was easy to tear it off.
Li Xiangru used the bark to weave a feather coat by connecting the feathers little by little, and he vaguely remembered when he saw who did it, but he had a vague impression. It took him half a day to clumsily tie the feathers together, and when it was dark, a feather coat was finally made. Although it looks a little rough, it also has the shape and silhouette of a feather coat. Li Xiangru was overjoyed, he put the feather coat on his body, feeling warm and gentle, very comfortable and decent. The snow was falling in the air, and Li Xiangru covered his body with a feather coat as a quilt, and fell asleep after a while.
The heavy snow fell for two or three days in a row, but Xiao Ling never came back, Li Xiangru began to get anxious, he only fed on the dried fruits he had saved before for the past two days, but he was about to run out of food. This is second, Xiao Ling is now not only a bird in his mind, but also a partner who depends on each other. In this snowy season, will the birds encounter any danger? Li Xiangru thought to himself. Xiao Ling had left for a day or two before and didn't return, but it was only two days at most, but now it's been three days, it's gone, and it's snowing heavily, no wonder Li Xiangru is worried about it.
Suddenly, there was a crisp cry from the valley, very clear and loud in the snow-capped mountains and valleys, this cry could not be more familiar - it was Xiao Ling's chirp, Li Xiangru was excited, and jumped to the edge of the platform to look.
But I saw a shadow flying like an arrow in the northeast, and I couldn't see it clearly in the snow hail, but I saw that it was getting closer and closer, and it was Xiao Ling. Li Xiangru was about to open his mouth and shout, when two bird shadows followed behind Xiao Ling, one in front of the other, and also shouted and pounced on Xiao Ling, it turned out that they were chasing Xiao Ling. The two big birds are also relatively large, no less than the small spirit, and the action is fierce, one of them is slightly larger with a flutter of wings, and then it jumps to the top of the small spirit, condescending to the small spirit, the other follows like a shadow, specializing in the back of the small spirit, the two giant birds form a pincer attack on the small spirit, each other is a horn, trapping it in the heart.
After Li Xiangru arrived in Wudang, he had twice seen this giant species when he practiced martial arts at the top of Wangri Pavilion Peak, and Xun Yuhe was also present at that time, Xun Yuhe told him that this bird was called "Vulture", which was an extremely rare species among birds, with fierce nature, huge body and strong attack power. Wudang Mountain has only been seen occasionally for many years, but today there are two joint forces attacking Xiaoling.
Xiao Ling's claws seemed to be holding something, and in response to the enemy's attack, he either dodged or could only meet him with his beak, but his claws did not dare to let go slightly. The two giant vultures may also have taken a fancy to Xiao Ling's weakness, so they attacked it desperately unscrupulously, in the process of dodging, Xiao Ling's left wing was pecked by the slightly smaller vulture behind, Xiao Ling was in pain, and his body shook, and his body fell.
Li Xiang has seen clearly at this time, the two eagles are fighting for the things held in the claws of the little spirit, as the saying goes: "people die for money, birds die for food", the three birds must be fighting for food, in this snowy winter, everything is scorched, food has indeed become a necessity for the birds to survive.
Xiao Ling's left wing was injured, and the big vulture directly above saw this, and it was a good time to take advantage of the victory to pursue, and his body swooped down like an arrow, and pecked at the top of Xiao Ling's head. Xiao Ling was in a hurry, his body spun, and he rushed into the oblique thorn, which was able to avoid the fatal blow of the big eagle, and then the little eagle stuck to it like a shadow, and stretched out its claws like a hook to grab the food that Xiao Ling was holding.
The three birds fought fiercely with each other, and unconsciously approached the ancient tree and platform, and they were only more than ten zhang away from Li Xiangru. Li Xiangru saw that Xiao Ling was in danger, and he was so anxious that he had no wings and couldn't help anything, like an ant on a hot pot, spinning around on the platform. At this time, seeing Xiao Ling competing for the food that Xiao Ling was holding, in a hurry, he leaned over and grabbed a stone and threw it at Xiao Vulture. He threw it with his hands, but he didn't have any accuracy beforehand. Unexpectedly, it hit the back of the little eagle, and the little eagle was in pain, and his movements slowed down, and the small spirit broke out from the left wing.
Li Xiangru saw that this trick worked, and immediately picked up the stones with his hands, and hit the two eagles like raindrops, although the hit rate was extremely low, but it caused a lot of interference, and the attack on Xiao Ling weakened a lot, and Xiao Ling took the opportunity to fly to the platform. As long as they fall on the platform, with Li Xiangru's help, the two vultures are beasts after all, and they dare not rashly attack humans if they have the courage to do so.
The two vultures flew to dodge the stones thrown by Li Xiangru, while waiting for an opportunity to attack and compete for the food in the claws of Xiao Ling. After a short time, he suffered a few more minor injuries on his body, which was only a few feet away from the platform, so that he gradually could not resist the enemy, and was intercepted back by the two eagles, and he was far away from the platform again.
At this time, there were no stones to throw on the platform, Li Xiangru grabbed two handfuls of snow in a hurry, pinched it hard, pinched it into a spherical shape, and threw it at the big eagle with all his strength. Li Xiangru in the moment of throwing the snowball, felt a heat in his right arm, the snowball shot out like a meteor, it was really fast, in the middle of the right wing of the eagle, only to hear the big eagle scream bitterly, in the air to fight, as if seriously injured, and then flew away diagonally, the little eagle saw this, with a chirping, gave up the little spirit, followed behind the eagle, not long after, the two eagles disappeared in the misty snow twilight.
