A remote corner of Shuzhou.
Aries Mountains.
On a steep, white mountain, a handsome Gyrfalcon with dark brown feathers and snow-white spots and dark eyes flew back to its nest with a white rabbit in its mouth.
Chi Chi!
Several young birds in the nest looked up and watched the gyrfalcon chirping.
The gyrfalcon put down its prey, and a few small ones rushed over impatiently.
One of the eyes was slightly bright and spiritual.
Afterwards, the gyrfalcon pecked off pieces of meat from the prey and fed them to several young birds.
Li Qing ate the disembowelled white rabbit in front of him and lamented the uncertainty of the world.
He also ate rabbit meat once upon a time, but now he had a different mouth.
'Becoming a gyrfalcon is not bad, at least it's not the bottom of the food chain. '
Thinking of this, Li Qing worked harder to push aside the brothers and sisters next to him, trying to grab a few more bites.
Eat more and be strong enough to survive in this animal world where the weak eat the strong.
Li Qing, who had had a full meal, lay in the nest, stroking his belly with his two feathery wings, squinting his eyes slightly, enjoying the warm breeze comfortably.
Hum!
Looking at the other young birds that were not full, the gyrfalcon could only sing a long cry, and then flew down the mountain, preparing to start hunting again.
…
Time flies.
It was four months later.
There is a village outside the Baiyang Mountains. Because most of the houses are built with black rocks, it is named Black Rock Village. Most of the villagers here make a living by hunting.
On this day, Orion Sun Wang went into the mountain to check the hunting traps as usual.
Seeing several empty traps, Sun Wang looked confused for an unknown number of times.
Hum!
A bird song sounded as if mocking his incompetence.
Sun Wang looked up and saw a divine eagle with white feathers all over its body, only black spots on its wings and back, and even its beak and talons were white, hovering in the sky.
Seeing the Jade Claw Hai Dongqing hovering in the air, Sun Wang could only do nothing to stop him.
I still remember that one month ago, I was lucky enough to see it once, so I found someone to join forces and start catching it. At that time, I still had a dream that I could make a fortune by selling it to my grandfather in the city.
But every time we organize a team and go into the mountains together, we can't even see a bird feather.
After a few times, the team disbanded directly, so Sun Wang also lost the prey that could last for several days. After all, only Sun Wang had seen it, and the others only thought that Sun Wang was an illusion dreamed up by a poor man.
Sun Wang had no choice but to set up a trap and hope that the seaweed would take the bait. Unfortunately, the seaweed was too spiritual. After this time, he could give up and hunt honestly.
"I don't know what's going on with Lao He lately. He's still going to the mountains to collect medicine at a very old age."
A murmur sounded.
Thinking about the interesting things in the village, in this secluded mountain, is the best way for Sun Wang to pass the time.
Above, Li Qing looked at Sun Wang below, with a smile in his eyes.
This person is the character he uses to play the boy who cried wolf.
As the days passed, Li Qing also discovered his own uniqueness. It was the famous Haidongqing, and the rarest jade claw.
Recalling that ancient emperors started wars because of a jade claw, Li Qing could only think of ways to protect himself. Hiding would definitely not work. Sooner or later, he would be caught when hunting, so he took this action.
In the future, if someone says they have seen Jade Claws, they will only assume that they are lying.
After flying away from that area, Li Qing was swimming in the air, enjoying the freedom that he couldn't feel as a human.
The strong wind blew, but it was only a boost for Li Qing, and he used the strong wind to fly higher.
Looking at the large virgin forest-like mountains on the ground, Li Qing looked for the lucky person who could meet him today.
Finally hovering in an open space, looking at the young foxes foraging for food below, Li Qing found the right moment and fell from the air at an extremely fast speed.
Finally, a pair of sharp and narrow claws hit the young fox's head. The powerful impact caused it to fall to the ground, and it was unknown whether it was alive or dead.
The inertia caused Li Qing to fly forward for a while, and then returned to prepare his prey.
First, he cut open the belly and ate the internal organs. At the same time, Li Qing's eyes were observing the surroundings. This moment was a bit dangerous. As the saying goes, a fallen phoenix is not as good as a chicken.
But there is no way, the prey must be dealt with first. Li Qing has just become independent now, and larger prey is difficult to transport, so he can only deal with it on the spot.
After eating the most tender offal, Li Qing did not grab the remaining food and return to the nest. Instead, he flew into the air, waiting for prey attracted by the smell.
It didn't take long for some crows to fly over.
'This routine is really tried and true. '
Thinking in his mind, Li Qing did not move slowly.
A few crows didn't make any waves.
In a moment, two crows and a fox were transported back to the nest by Li Qing.
This is a high mountain, and Li Qing finally found a small cave here, which is suitable for sheltering the nest from wind and rain.
It's winter now, so it's a good idea to stock up on food.
Putting the prey down, Li Qing lay comfortably in his bird's nest, pecking at the fox meat bite by bite until he was full.
Looking at the scenery under the mountains is full of comfort.
…
Blackstone Village.
Lao He returned home after picking up the herbs. It was a relatively dilapidated earthen house with a fence surrounding the yard, which was incompatible with the solid black buildings in the village.
At this time, a child about ten years old came forward to help him unload the bamboo basket.
"Grandpa, I caught another fish in the river today and we have meat to eat."
A bright smile appeared on the boy's face, looking forward to the white-haired old man's praise.
"Xiao Chong, you are so powerful. Grandpa will have to rely on you from now on."
Lao He stroked Xiao Chong's head, but his face showed reluctance, and there seemed to be a few more wrinkles at the corners of his eyes.
"Xiao Chong, grandpa wants to tell you something very important today. Please close the door first."
Xiaochong listened to his grandfather's serious tone, closed the door obediently, and sat on the kang with his grandfather.
"then……"
Lao He showed a look of reminiscing, and a period of the past slowly unfolded.
Ten years ago, Lao He opened a dart agency in a big city. His skills were among the best in the world. His younger generations also worked hard. The eldest son of the family inherited his martial arts talent and often accompanied the old man to deliver darts. Lao He was also willing to bring more escorts. The eldest son’s experience.
Unfortunately, he encountered robbers while delivering escorts, leaving Lao Hegou alone to survive.
On the way to escape, he found a hidden cave and planned to go in to avoid pursuit.
There was a seriously injured immortal in the cave who was unconscious. Lao He took care of this person for several months. After the immortal regained his mobility, he gave him three immortal talismans. After saying a few words, he flew away in the air.
And Lao He also returned to the city safely, but what he saw was the scene of his family being destroyed. Fortunately, a loyal old servant in the family was clever and took the young master, who is now Xiaochong, through the tunnel on the day of the incident and hid in the slums and escaped. One calamity.
After experiencing so many changes in just a few months, Old He was so heartbroken that he gave most of his remaining belongings to the old servant and left alone with Xiao Chong.
After that, there was He, the old man of Black Rock Village, and his grandson Xiao Chong.
