Master descends to earth

Chapter 206
"Old man Wang Shixiang's descendants?"

Seeing Su Yuan's surprised expression, the old man smiled and said: "Old Wang can be said to be a person who has played games to the extreme. His descendants have naturally been fascinated by them since childhood, and their level is not bad."

"The third son of the Wang family inherited his father's talent for playing, especially for raising birds, which is considered a must among the stubborn masters in the capital. By the way, the little girl I saw at the auction last time should be his little daughter."

Su Yuan nodded, he didn't know each other. Last time, he felt that Ling Junsheng knew each other. As expected, he was going to visit today, and he was also idle, just to relax.

The two came to a courtyard on the outskirts of the city by car, and met the descendants of the number one player in the capital, known in the circle as the three masters, the master of raising pigeons, the master of training thrushes, and the last master of cooking hawks, another master.

"This is... Costin!"

The three of them just started chatting, when suddenly there was a sharp cry from the backyard. Wang Sanjue brought the two of them to the yard, and saw a huge eagle.

"That's right, it's Costin!"

Wang Sanjue put on the leather gloves slowly, walked up to Hai Dongqing, whistled, and quickly calmed down the agitated Eagle.

Su Yuan looked at the big eagle curiously. This is the overlord of the sky. It comes from the land of solemnity. It has different colors, with pure white, sky blue and pure black being the top grades.Emperor Kangxi praised Costin: There are sixty out of three hundred feather insects, and Costin is the most handsome.The nature is golden, the spirit is full of fire, and the different materials show Yaoguang stars.

It not only promotes martial arts and encourages military bravery, but also boasts of Haidongqing's resolute and fierce temperament. His excellent quality can be compared with the stars in the sky. , such as lightning and thunder. "

Manchu is a nation famous for shooting and hunting. Its ancestors, Sushen, knew how to catch eagles very early. After domestication, they used them to help hunters catch prey, commonly known as falconry.It is said that Haidongqing may be a gyrfalcon. Although it is as big as a magpie, it is fierce in nature and can hunt swans, small animals and foxes. The method of releasing eagles is described in "The Unofficial History of the Qing Dynasty" as follows: the eagle covers its face with an embroidered brocade cap, and the carrier holds the sash in his hand. When he sees a bird, he removes the cap and releases it.

Costinins are all wild wild growers, which are captured and domesticated by humans and then used as hunting aids. Because Costinins are not easy to capture and domesticate, there was even such a regulation in the Jin and Yuan Dynasties: Anyone who violated the criminal law would be exiled to The criminals in Liaodong, whoever can capture Haidongqing and present it, can make atonement and be released by post.Therefore, at that time, Khan Baylor and princes and relatives spared no expense to buy the famous eagle, which became a fashion at that time.

The pure white "Jade Claw" is the top grade in Costin, and there are other names such as Qiuhuang, Bohuang, and Sannianlong.In the Qing Dynasty, if a prisoner caught a sea dongqing and presented it to the imperial court, he would be exempted from all death penalty, which shows how precious it is.

"When I was young, there were many wild animals in the countryside. Foxes and hares were everywhere. Every day I saw eagles soaring in the sky. When I was young, I hunted with my father, mainly hunting hares during the day. In fact, hunting hares is not easy, no matter how accurate your marksmanship is. It's better to have an eagle. As the saying goes, an eagle catches a hare, and some tofu is marinated, and one thing falls one thing.

Wang Sanjue touched Hai Dongqing with his hands and recalled: "My father had an eagle when he was young, but later he was old and could not tame an eagle, so he hoped that I could make an eagle. But he couldn't make up his mind. When I heard him say that I could boil my own eagle, I became elated and urged my father to catch the eagle as soon as possible and let me survive. However, my father hesitated and told me that this is a matter of life and death.”

Eagle hunting still depends on luck. My father said that the most ideal eagle to catch is a middle-aged eagle, which is too young. Although it saves trouble, it is more likely to be dragged to death by an old rabbit when catching rabbits.An eagle that is too old is not worth suffering. One is that it is difficult to endure, and the other is that it has finally survived and is about to die.

One leg of a white pullet was tied to the bottom of a tree, and a large mesh net was hung around it.It wasn't long before we saw an eagle soaring high in the sky.The eagle's eyes are extremely bright, and it quickly sees its prey.The father hid in the dug hole covered with corn stalks, holding the rope to pull the net in his hand and waiting for the wild eagle to enter the net.

The cunning eagle hovered in the air for a while, then swooped down fiercely, and swooped towards the little white chicken with lightning speed.The poor little white chicken was tied by a rope with one leg and could only scream when it saw the wild eagle swooping over.When the eagle was in high spirits, the net fell with a hula.It panicked and wanted to escape, but the French Open did not miss out.

Father said it wasn't just an eagle, it was just entering middle age.Not to mention my father's joy.He looked at me and thought that I might not be able to survive this eagle, so he asked if I should leave it to my cousin.I immediately assured *** that I could get through it.

To say that such a good eagle is handed over to others, my father is a bit reluctant.He told me about the difficulty of boiling the eagle again, and I begged him hard and vowed that I would give up if it didn't work out.This is the most important point, he is afraid that I will not tell him the truth when I can't get through it.

With his permission, I persuaded myself: I must never deceive my father.

My father killed a wild rabbit and asked my mother and sister to cook for me. That was the most critical step before boiling the eagle.After I eat and drink enough, I go to bed. When I was 8 years old, it was not as difficult for me to fall asleep later, and it was dawn when I woke up.

My father asked me to name that eagle. I thought it was full of energy, and looked a lot like it. I also hoped that it was the ever-victorious general Zhao Zilong, so I called it Zilong.

Zilong's two eyes are not enough, it looks for any chance to escape.However, it finally realized that its sharp teeth and claws could not cut the ropes on its legs—the ropes made of thin copper wires pierced through cowhide, and began a hunger strike.However, the battle to boil the eagle will start immediately.

Others in the room eat when they should be eating and sleep when they should be sleeping, but I am the only one who keeps my eyes on it.At night, everyone else fell asleep, but I stayed up with it under the kerosene lamp.

On the first night, it thought that I was afraid that it would run away and take care of it. It was a "jailor" and I was just a "guard". Naturally, it ignored me and wanted to fall asleep.When I saw that it was about to close its eyes, I immediately pulled its mouth with my hands.It didn't know my intentions at first, thinking about it with its head tilted.After a while, it was about to doze off again, so I still pulled it.It finally understood, just don't let it sleep.It started to hate me, thinking I was a villain.

When it saw that my father had already fallen asleep, snoring like thunder, but I was full of energy, it decided to compete with me.It nodded up and down, and the meaning was very clear: "Damn! Let's use it up and see who the hell can't stand it!"

In this way, the two of us started to stay up all night to compete.I don't need to pick and pull it, even the frequency of blinking is consumed by me.

The first night passed smoothly, and at dawn, my father looked at me and Zilong, and went out with a "huh".

Mom and sister made breakfast, which was the leftover rabbit meat from yesterday, and gave Zilong a piece of raw rabbit meat.Zilong couldn't figure out what kind of events I was competing with it. Seeing me eating meat, it thought it was also the content of the competition, so it ate it.

During the day I compete with it to eat and drink, and at night I compete with it without sleeping.Of course, I don't sleep with it during the day.Not only my mother, but my elder sister also objected to me boiling the eagle, for fear of breaking my brain.She prodded me and said, "It's worth it for your performance this time, you're going to be famous." I felt harsh after hearing that, so I asked her back, "Famous? What are you famous for?" She said, don't you risk your life just to be famous?I answered her simply: eat rabbit meat!
