Chapter 80 You Know
The surrounding area of Luanshi Village is a huge wall about three meters high, all of which are thickly clad in tree trunks, and the houses in the village are all built with huge stones and then made of simple processed logs. They are simple and tall, and there is a wild and primitive smell from the inside to the outside.
According to Elder Guo, there are eleven other villages around them located in the jungle, forming the largest indigenous force within a radius of thousands of miles, and the headed one is Qincheng.
In fact, wealth is everywhere in the wilderness, but unlike the gold, silver, antiques and silk in the civilized world, the products produced here are precious furs, countless rare medicines, dazzling strange beasts, etc., all of which are treasures that immortals dream of.
At this time, Yang Xiumao was hunting with Menglu for the first time in his life in his dense tree canopy.
Yang Xiu looked out and saw a large area of dense meadows, which looked a little abrupt in the primitive jungle with towering trees everywhere. The dense grass was three feet high, and it was like the waves of the blue sea when swinging with the wind, which was very beautiful.
According to Elder Fruit, Yang Xiu has not been officially accepted by Luanshi Village yet. He needs to prove his strength in the wilderness before he can become a member of Luanshi Village. Everything in the wilderness depends on strength. If he cannot find his own position in the village and make his own contribution, no one will respect you.
This is why children like Menglu, who are only in their early 10s, will go out to practice with the hunting team, and try their best to prove themselves.
Elder Guo arranged a task of cooperating hunting for the two to test the "quality" of Yang Xiu, an outsider. By the way, he exercised Menglu. Today is the seventh day of their cooperation, and he has been lying in this bush for nearly two hours today.
Meng Lu is very strong-willed and firmly disagrees with others' help. According to his own words, if Yang Xiu was not his "trophy", he would not want to follow him to hunt.
The sun was hot at noon. A heavy rain two days ago poured the forest through the forest. Yang Xiu and Menglu still felt a little stuffy when they lay in the dense shade of trees. Although Yang Xiu repeatedly inquired, Xiao Menglu never mentioned his plan, which aroused Yang Xiu's interest.
"We can catch the rabbit when we wait here?" Yang Xiu glanced around with a sharp gaze, and noticed that Meng Lu twisted his body a little uneasy. He asked in a low voice with a smile.
Meng Lu Yuanyuan's forehead had already been covered with sweat, and she could tell that she could not help it. However, after hearing Yang Xiu's words, she looked stern and said like a little adult: "Be patient, Grandpa said, "Those who are impatient cannot become excellent hunters."
Yang Xiu felt happy and didn't say anything more.
Meng Lu resisted the urge to move his body and hid in the bushes. The coarse cloth clothes on his body had long been blown through sweat, and the sweat in the animal skin armor dripped down. His dark face seemed to have just washed his face. Yang Xiu secretly admired him when he saw it.
Meng Lu is just an entry-level cultivation level for body tempering. After two hours of lying down, he probably felt so uncomfortable. Now he can still hold it back. His perseverance is admirable at a young age.
These days, with the help of pills, Yang Xiu's injuries had been mostly healed, and his five senses had returned to the level of extreme sensitivity in his previous life. As soon as he had teased Meng Lu and was about to lie down, Yang Xiu heard a sound from the forest in front of the left. There was a faint sound of a beast roaring mixed in it.
Yang Xiu quickly reached out and pressed Meng Lu's back to signal the other party to An Jing. Meng Lu's big round eyes stared at Yang Xiu in confusion, but after a while, a large group of gray and white figures suddenly rushed out of the edge of the meadow and rushed directly into the grass.
"Here's here!" Meng Lu clenched his fists, lowered his voice, and said with excitement.
Yang Xiu could see clearly. The one who ran into the meadow was a large group of rabbits. It was the first time that Yang Xiu saw a rabbit as big as a deer. Every time he ran out, he was more than ten feet away. He ran with the momentum of thousands of troops moving forward.
The figures of dozens of big rabbits flashed by and rushed into the grass one after another. The meadow swayed for a while and then became completely quiet. Several giant beasts covered in darkness kept patrolling the edge of the woods, and you could vaguely see two scary white fangs in the mouth of the beast.
There were also low roars of wild beasts in the rest of the open space, but they were all staying outside the meadow and not approaching. The beasts seemed to be observing the movements in the grass. After a moment, they confirmed that there was no sound in the grass. Then they retreated one by one and disappeared quickly.
Yang Xiu's hand holding the hilt of the sword then let go. He looked back at Meng Lu, but found that the other party was ready to rub his hands and looked excited. He was so nervous that he seemed to be another person.
"Okay, go home!"
Meng Lu stretched with satisfaction and waved to Yang Xiu with great enthusiasm: "We will come again tomorrow. Remember, don't tell others about this place!"
Yang Xiu looked back at the quiet meadow with interest, and had already vaguely guessed what had happened. He looked at Xiao Menglu with a little more appreciation.
...
"Menglu is back! Haven't caught prey yet? Don't worry, it's still a long time, just be careful."
"You can catch it right away!" Meng Lu said seriously with a pout, causing laughter.
"Hu Zi, do you still have the kind of tea you made last time? My wife had a very obvious effect after drinking it. I'll give me two more pounds."
"Do you think tea leaves are weeds! There are not two pounds, only two ounces, so use the spirit herbs of the past to exchange for it." Yang Xiu replied angrily.
...
After getting along for the past few days, Yang Xiu has become familiar with the people in Luanshi Village and greets everyone he knows along the way. After living in Luanshi Village for more than ten days, Yang Xiu feels that his dark heart is about to be purified.
Yang Xiu was diligent and, except for practicing martial arts every day, he spent the rest of his time working in the village. Today he helped Aunt Li catch the wild deer that ran away, and tomorrow he helped Uncle Zhao move the logs to reinforce the house. In a few days, it has become a temporary villager who is praised by everyone in the village and has a reputation.
In addition, Yang Xiu only works and doesn't talk much. Who doesn't like such a diligent young man, especially in the wilderness where everyone has to work hard to survive, which is even more popular.
Meng Lu walked in front of Yang Xiu with his little hands on his back, his little face tense, trying his best to pretend to be an adult. Yang Xiu knew that Meng Lu must be so happy that he had worked so hard that he didn't laugh.
The two soon came to Elder Guo’s home. Meng Lu’s parents both died in an accident many years ago and were raised by Elder Guo since childhood. Now the family has more than one temporary member Yang Xiu.
The meals at night were particularly rich, and all kinds of delicacies and wild food that Yang Xiu had never seen before were dazzling. In just a few days, Yang Xiu felt that he had gained weight.
After dinner, Menglu quickly packed up the dishes and went out to play with his friends. Yang Xiu saw Elder Guo lit his cigarette and walked to the inner room. He knew that the other party had something to say, so he followed him in.
"Huzi, I heard from Menglu that you are interested in our beast-controlling techniques?" Elder Guo asked straight to the point.
Yang Xiu smiled and said, "Well, I have always been very yearning for beast control. Unfortunately, I have no choice but to become a disciple in the outside world, so I really want to ask you for advice."
Elder Guo sucked his pussy and said a few times, "The beast-controlling technique is the foundation of the Luanshi Village's establishment in the wilderness. It has never been spread. You should not waste your efforts."
Yang Xiu felt that the other party's tone was not firm, and looked at Elder Guo with interest, without making a sound waiting for the other party to speak.
Seeing that Yang Xiu saw through his mind, Elder Guo held a cigarette pot and kowtowed twice at the corner of the table, coughed awkwardly, looked at Yang Xiu before continuing, "Huzi, are all the Taoist talismans on your body made by yourself?"
Yang Xiu suddenly felt aware when he heard this, grinned and said that he was going around in such a big circle, it turned out to be for this.
There are no monks who can make talismans in the Luanshi Village. It is said that the same is true in several villages around. If ordinary monks want to use Taoist talismans, they can only buy them from merchants. The price can naturally be imagined.
The merchants who came to do business in the wasteland were a whole, and they all controlled the talisman making technique and refused to spread it. Even the most basic method of making talismans like treasures was blocked. Elder Guo had great resentment.
In fact, when the first time he saw the Taoist talismans in Yang Xiu's arms, the first reaction of the other villagers was to take the Taoist talismans for themselves, because these small pieces of paper were too precious, and the income from hunting in Luanshi Village could not be exchanged for this one year. But the mature and persistent elder Fruit stopped everyone who was already jealous, and he bet on the talisman making technique in Yang Xiu's head.
"Leave it to me for the beast-controlling technique, I will teach it all!" Yang Xiu did not take a turn, and made an expression you understand and said directly.
"make a deal!"
Elder Guo, who had always looked steady, laughed loudly, raised his right hand and swore to Yang Xiu's high fives. A hint of cunning and complacent flashed in his faint eyes, which made Yang Xiu smile.
Menglu, who was passing by at the door, looked at the laughing two people strangely and scratched their heads in confusion. However, thinking of the harvest that they were about to get, Menglu immediately jumped excitedly, but after walking a few steps, he calmed down and took his little hand and took his eight-character steps, pretending to be a mature person.
...
The next day was still a sunny day. Yang Xiu and Menglu walked for an hour and came to the old place to hide. Menglu seemed very excited and kept looking at the sun in the sky, muttering how the sun was walking so slowly today.
Yang Xiu took out a roll of quite old bamboo slips from his arms and looked patiently.
This is the "Animal Taming Classic" handed to Yang Xiu yesterday by Elder Guo. It is the most basic book for learning the art of controlling beasts. After reading the contents of this ancient book, Yang Xiu realized that his previous thoughts were too superficial.
