On the second day, after finishing his meditation practice, Li Jian took the two green bamboos to the mountain wall where the wild bees gathered.
But this time no wild bees came out to attack him.
This made him wonder, could it be that the wild bees that he had troubled yesterday were so fierce that they were so scared that they moved away in one night because they were afraid of him?
But unlike yesterday, the hive was still there, and there were still some wild bees flying around outside, but the number was much smaller than yesterday.
Only later did he discover the clue. There was a pheasant-sized flying bird parked on a bamboo branch not far away. The bird had maroon feathers, a long sharp beak, and its chirping sound was sharp and harsh. It was combing its feathers on the bamboo branch.
The bird was indifferent to the ordinary wild bees outside, and fluttered its wings and flew to the edge of the bright yellow honeycomb. It flapped its wings rapidly to hover there, and then pecked the honeycomb with its long and sharp beak. He took out the fat white bee pupae and swallowed them into his belly. At this time, the hive was finally in chaos, and peaks poured out, but no one dared to provoke the bird.
Finally, those giant bees flew out from the purple bamboo, but there were not many of them. There were about a dozen of them and they pounced on the bird. The bird seemed to be very happy to see it. It let go of the beehive and flew towards the giant bees and pecked one. Then it flew back to the bamboo branch, held it down with its talons, and then pecked it open with its sharp beak.
This kind of bee-eating bird is called "bee-eater" by some people in the world, but the size of the bee-eater is the size of an ordinary bird, much smaller than the one in Muxiufeng. This kind of bird here is called "bee-eater" by the monks. To become a "bee thief", they specialize in feeding on wild bees and other small birds. Wild bees are naturally afraid of their natural enemies and are restrained by this bird. Only by sending giant bees to feed the bee thief as if they were committing suicide can the bees not harm the bee pupae. It would be a good thing if it leaves after it is full. .
Li Jian didn't recognize the bird, but he didn't like that the bird was harming the swarm of wild bees here. He fought with the swarm twice yesterday and finally escaped in embarrassment without killing one. He didn't expect that the bird was actually here. Go wild in your own bamboo forest and feast in front of yourself!
It must be driven away.
Thinking of this, Li Jian jumped up and walked away from the bee thief. He saw the green bamboo in his hand and stabbed it.
Unexpectedly, the bee thief was extremely clever. When he noticed the confrontation, he flapped his wings and flew up. His speed surprised Li Jian, and he narrowly avoided Li Jian's first blow.
However, he dodged the first sting, but not the second sting. The green bamboo in Li Jian's right hand missed, and he immediately followed up with his left hand. The green bamboo stabbed the bee thief heavily, causing the bee thief to scream for a long time and then flew very fast. It flew away, leaving only a few feathers floating down, but it did not kill it.
Li Jian snorted and landed in front of those hives. He also looked at the bamboo tube he had placed earlier and saw that the honey inside was not yet full. It might take a few days before the honey is ready.
At this moment, the wild bees that had lost their natural enemies became active again. They noticed that Li Jian was near the hive. The giant bees that had previously been hiding in the purple bamboo, and the wild bees in the hive all flew out to drive away Li Jian.
"I just helped you get rid of that bird. Are you ungrateful and want to repay a favor with a grudge? Come on!"
A few days later, Li Jian was practicing when he heard a noisy bird song in the forest. This had never happened in his purple bamboo forest, so he went into the forest to take a look out of curiosity.
When he saw it, he couldn't help but get furious.
Nearly twenty or so bee thieves gathered in that wild bee nest, flying up and down. Looking at the wild bee nest, it had already been pecked full of holes. The dead bees on the ground looked like these birds were killing them but not eating them. Came here to vent anger.
When they saw Li Jian, the bee thief who had suffered a loss that day chirped, and the birds all turned to Li Jian. This kind of unworthy bee thief can be regarded as a kind of demon bird. He has a very small temper and a strong desire for revenge. If he suffered a loss, he must take revenge. Therefore, the bee thief was angry after suffering a loss, so he gathered Party members came to look for Li Jian.
It didn't find Li Jian at first, but when it met Li Jian in the hive that day, it only thought that Li Jian was the owner of the wild bees, so it took the birds to the hive. After a lot of destruction and torment, it finally led to the discovery of Li Jian. Li Jian.
The bee thief who had suffered a loss from Li Jian was even more angry when he saw him coming, and was eager to get some advantage from Li Jian. It had a few feathers missing from its abdomen and had different colors, so it could be recognized at a glance.
Li Jian looked at the bird with murderous intent in his heart, secretly thinking that if he wanted to save the wild bee swarm, these evil birds must be eliminated.
Unexpectedly, before Li Jian could move, the flock of birds moved first, flapping their wings rapidly one by one, and rushed towards Li Jian's head and face. The bird in front was the one that Li Jian had driven away. It looked like It was necessary to peck out Li Jian's eyes to eliminate the hatred in his heart!
Li Jian also hated it the most. He guessed that it was the flock of birds it had seduced. He waved the green bamboo in his hand like a long sword. With the sword energy focused on it, a green light swept straight through the body of the bee thief, and with a sound With a scream and a few streaks of blood, the bee thief was chopped into two halves by the green bamboo in Li Jian's hand and fell to the ground.
One bird screamed, and all the birds mourned together. Seeing that the leader was dead, the other bee thieves were frightened, their courage was gone, and they wanted to run away in panic. Unfortunately, they flew over too fast, and it was too late to change direction. After a while, The green light shone, and many scattered feathers were scattered in the air, and there were many mutilated bird carcasses on the ground.
Only the one flying at the end reluctantly changed its direction to escape, but was caught up by Li Jian before it flew a few feet away. After a flash of green light, one of its wings was cut off, and it screamed and hit the mountain wall. It fell to the ground again and kept screaming, but it was not dead.
snort! Damn thing! When Li Jian fell, his boots stepped heavily on the bee thief that couldn't stop chirping, immediately making it quiet.
After looking at the miserable state of the wild bee nest, I thought, forget it, if the wild bee colony wants to return to its previous state, it will take some time for them to cultivate, so I won’t bother them today.
Thinking of this, Li Jian left, but she took half a dead bird with her.
The green bamboo in my hand is cool and round, with a green color. This purple monarch bamboo is green when it is young and purple when it grows up. Li Jian knows this.
But how can this round bamboo cut open a bird neatly?
Li Jian was shocked when he cut the first damn bird in half. However, he was eager to kill all the birds and did not stop. Now that he had come out, he wanted to study it carefully.
Li Jian looked at the green bamboo in his hand and pondered. These two green bamboos have been played with in my hands for two or three days, but they are still green without any signs of dryness or discoloration. This is strange.
Li Jian thought about it, and the green bamboo in his right hand suddenly exploded with light, and then the green bamboo in his left hand. Unexpectedly, this Zijun young bamboo could withstand the full concentration of his sword energy, and then Li Jian started to dance like two swords, and he saw the bamboo forest beside the bamboo forest. For a while, the sword energy was flowing freely and the sword light was shining. At the end of the dance, Li Jian's right hand swept the green bamboo towards a rock the size of a millstone at the edge of the forest. Then the sword light converged and stopped.
Use your boot to gently kick the rock, and you will see that the top half of the rock slowly and silently slides down, and the cut surface is extremely smooth.
Is it the sword energy or the spiritual bamboo?
Li Jian stared at the smooth section of the rock and couldn't figure it out, but it was always a good thing. He would ask Brother Qian if he saw it another day. He studied weapon refining and should know more about this spiritual bamboo than me.
"Is Senior Brother Gao here?"
Li Jian lightly knocked on the wooden door of the small courtyard in front of him.
This Senior Brother Gao's name is Gao Yun, and he was the one who was responsible for arranging for Li Jian when he came down from the Eighteen Peaks Bridge. Gao Yun's practice place is not far from Li Jian's bamboo house, and sometimes he would come over to take a look when he passed by. Look, chat with Li Jian for a while. In Mu Xiufeng, Li Jian was only acquainted with Senior Brother Gao.
"Junior Brother Li, please come in quickly."
As expected, Senior Brother Gao was there. When he saw Li Jian, he enthusiastically invited Li Jian in.
As mentioned before, Gao Yun's small courtyard is very unique and elegant, and the utensils and furnishings in the room are also well thought out, which is different from Li Jian's place.
After "Brother Gao" Li Jian sat down on the futon, he took out two bamboo tubes and placed them on the case.
"This is this?" Gao Yun looked at it curiously, but he seemed to be able to smell a faint sweet fragrance.
"The product in my bamboo forest, wild honey, originally had a lot of it, but it was ruined a lot by the wild animals that came from nowhere, and not much was left. I have tasted it, and it tastes very good. I give it to you. Here are two tubes, I wonder if Brother Gao likes them."
"Oh... I remembered it. Senior Brother Shao heard about it when he was still in the bamboo forest. This kind of honey is extremely delicious and very rare. The key is that the wild bees are very powerful. You didn't get stung when you collected the honey. Injured?"
"I was careful and wasn't hurt by the wild bee."
"Oh, that's good. After Senior Brother Shao built his own cave, no one practiced there in the Purple Bamboo Forest for a period of time. There used to be a few senior brothers who were greedy for the taste of wild honey and went there to collect honey together. They didn't want to give up. They were driven out of the swarm, and some people were stung, which became a joke for a while. I heard that there was a very big monster bee in the swarm, and it was almost ready to become a high-quality bee. It is very powerful!"
"Well, I've seen that kind of bee. It's scary. But one thing kills another. There is a kind of bird that only eats wild bees. When the bird cries, the wild bees don't dare to come out. I caught one of that bird. I had it with me and it was very safe when collecting honey, but later a bear came from somewhere and did a lot of damage to me, which was a pity."
"Oh! I remembered that there is such a bird called a bee thief. I didn't expect that bird to have such a use."
Only then did Li Jian realize that the bird's name actually had the word "thief" in it.
"That is to say, our Muxiufeng is a large place with few people, so there are many wild animals. The aura here is still enough, so many wild animals are about to become high-grade monsters. Try another place, such as Jiuxuan, I'm afraid these things They would have been caught, roasted and eaten.”
Gao Yun stopped talking here. After all, he knew that Junior Brother Li here was not a joking person. He must have come here to ask for advice on some spiritual matters.
"Senior Brother Gao, there is one more thing I want to ask you about in terms of practice when I come here this time."
"Junior brother, please speak."
"Then the "Sword Code" talks about 'moving and stillness are suitable', I can probably understand this quiet word, but I would like to ask Senior Brother Gao to explain this word "moving" for me. "
"Well, Junior Brother Li, your cultivation is not deep now, so there is no need to rush. Although the word "moving" comes first, when we practice swordsmanship, we focus on the word "quiet" first. When you reach the third level of Qi refining, You can understand the meaning of the word "moving" when you can go out to work in the sect. You will understand it when you encounter things and people or fight with the monster a few times. There is no rush. I heard my senior said that "moving" means "moving". It is best to combine Jing from the beginning of cultivation, but it is impossible due to limited cultivation. Don’t worry, junior brother will definitely understand in the future battles."
Li Jian nodded, and it seemed that he was right in his understanding of the word "dynamic".
"Thank you very much, Senior Brother Gao."
"You're welcome. By the way, Junior Brother Li, you said a bear harmed your honey. What does that bear look like?"
"It's very big, almost the same as a cow. Well, except that its fur is dark red, it's no different from an ordinary bear."
"Oh, what happened to the bear later? Did you catch it?"
"No, it would be good if we could drive it away. That guy was covered in wild bees and was not afraid of being stung. His fur was so thick that even the spiritual sword couldn't penetrate it. He just kept eating the beehives. In the end, I had no choice but to blind him. It took an eye to chase it away.”
"Drove it away? Alas, what a pity! Junior Brother Li, if you are sure about it next time you encounter it, take it down. It is a red bear, which can be regarded as the lowest-grade monster. If nothing else, the bear skin alone will kill you. I can exchange it for one or two spiritual stones."
Li Jian looked at Senior Brother Gao in surprise when he heard this and nodded again.
"I see, what a pity!"
