Chapter 251: I can also gather beasts and tame birds

Chapter 251: I can also gather beasts and tame birds The next morning. The firewood had gone out, but the firewood picked up last night had not been used up. The junior sister piled them together, and the fox came close and spit out a breath of the sun's spiritual fire, easily re-igniting it. Several people skewered the flatbreads and placed them on top to heat them up. There were two sacks next to them, containing the corpses of the heroes of this place. Luo Seng was really used to the world of martial arts, so he was not afraid at all. Instead, he picked up a skull and looked at the scars on it carefully. After checking for a while, he rummaged through the sack and found a leg bone, which he also examined. "What did Mr. Luo discover?" Lin Jue asked. "The method of gathering beasts and taming birds is to call and control the wild beasts?" Luo Seng asked him, staring at the leg bone. "almost." Luo Seng didn't say anything, but just showed him the leg bone.

There is a gap on the bone. Doesn't it look like it was cut by a weapon? Not sure. Even if Lin Jue looked at it carefully, he still couldn't be sure whether it was caused by a wild beast or a weapon. But since Luo Gong specifically showed it to him, it meant that he thought it was caused by a weapon. Then he showed him another skull. There is also a gap, making it difficult to distinguish. "Um……" Lin Jue knew that he had been a county lieutenant, so he was not suspicious and just nodded, "Go and see, and you will know. Lord Luo has his own abilities, and I have mine too." Finish the pancake in a few bites. The fox looked at them carefully. Even though it had a fox face, its eyes clearly showed human-like thinking. It felt that they had no intention of using fire again, so it inhaled towards the stream running in the distance. A thin stream of water flew over and with a hiss, it just put out the fire. After the fight with the Alligator Dragon King, it gradually acquired three new abilities while chasing the Rat Demon: One is to enter the water, it can move freely underwater, it is often used to catch fish. The other is to control water, just like the water control method that Lin Jue has learned, it is often used to fetch water or water the catfish. I don't know who he learned these two things from, the Alligator Dragon King or the Rhino General. The other is the Sun Spirit Fire. Today's Fuyao has both water and fire. There is also a fourth tail. The three of them simply packed their luggage, and Lin Jueze and his junior sister summoned a paper donkey to carry the corpses from this place. Mr. Luo was mindful of the friendship between his fellow villagers, while Lin Jue intended to ask some heroes to help him. In either case, they would naturally have to bring back the corpses that could be found here and help them return home. Then the two of them mounted their horses, and Lin Jue took out a "Chen Niu Fu" and said: "Chen Niu, Chen Niu, go find a monster that can control birds and beasts." As soon as "Chen Niu Chen Niu" was called, a little ghost appeared out of thin air, and the talisman paper immediately caught fire and was quickly burned up. This is a little kid from the Central Plains, about four or five years old, with a fair and tender face and a round face. He is wearing a brown outfit and a round hat with a ball on his head, also brown, floating in the air, two or three feet above the ground.

It was a little confused when it first appeared, but as soon as it heard the second half of the sentence, it immediately became alert. “My name is Chen Niu! "Go this way!" The kid pointed in a direction with a serious look on his face. After saying that, he disappeared with a bang. Lin Jue got on the horse calmly. As if he was disgusted by his slow pace, and as if he was dissatisfied that they had not yet walked in the direction he pointed, the little ghost reappeared with a bang, looked up at Lin Jue, and pointed in the original direction: "Go this way!" "Let's go now." Lin Jue began to feel fortunate that he did not summon it out to try it last night, otherwise wouldn’t he have to listen to its urging all night long? The group walked slowly forward. The servant spirit hid most of the time, but every once in a while, or at a fork in the road, it would reappear, pointing out the road or direction for them, and leading them around cliffs and rivers. As for the words it spoke, they were always "go this way." "This thing is really useful." Even Luo Seng, who was used to traveling around the world, couldn't help but sigh. "He looks very well behaved," said the junior sister. "Go this way!" The little ghost floating in the air ignored their compliments, pointed to a hill and said seriously. The group slowly left the official road. To be on the safe side, the fox still led the way, jumping in front. It was very alert and would look around every time it jumped to a high place. Sometimes I look up at the sky. Before I knew it, I had been walking for most of the day. A few days ago, I was still in the vast desert, but these days I have arrived at a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters. There are tall green mountains in the distance, and towering snow-capped mountains behind them. There are small patches of forests on the green hills, and beyond the forests are continuous grasslands. The landscape of this place is really varied. A fox was jumping lightly on the grassland, and a falcon was circling freely overhead. The fox looks up, the hawk looks down. Both sides looked at each other. Not long after, the falcon disappeared. The fox turned his head and looked at Lin Jue. Lin Jue just signaled it to move forward. The fox jumped again and landed on the top of a mountain. The mountain wind from the opposite snow-capped mountain blew in its face with a biting chill, blowing the fox's heart-shaped chest hair, making it look quite dashing. There was a melodious flute sound in the wind. Brush it! The huge falcon flew down like an arrow and landed on a protruding rock on the top of the mountain next to it. It first glanced at the white fox that was not afraid of it, and then turned its head to look at Lin Jue.

"Go this way!" The little ghost floated in the air, flew to the top of the mountain, and pointed down. Falcon couldn't help but glance at the imp. When it looked back, it found that the white fox, which was originally as big as a cat, had quietly turned into a white fox larger than an ordinary mountain tiger. Its four tails were waving in the mountain breeze, which scared it. "do not worry." Lin Jue said something to the fox, while bending down and climbing up. "call……" Take a breath and look into the distance. What a vast landscape—— The green valley is surrounded by mountains on all sides, with stone mountains in the distance and the eternal snow on the top of the mountain, small forests and lakes, and wooden houses by the lake. Under the beautiful scenery, even the biting cold wind seems to be a little gentler. There were a few goats walking on the edge of the cliff. They were tall and strong, obviously much larger than normal goats. Lin Jue also saw a few small dots in the distance, some brown and some grayish white. Judging from the distance, they should be very large. The hawk looked at them in confusion. The goats also tilted their heads and stared at them. Yes, Lin Jue has practiced the method of gathering beasts and taming birds. Any creature with sufficient spirituality can sense this and often will not actively attack him. And Lin Jue knew it after just one look at them—— That Qinshan Zuzu is lying. Be it this falcon or the group of goats, they are not that aggressive towards humans. In fact, because they have been blessed with spiritual talents and are on the path to enlightenment, they are smarter and know more, which can to some extent fight against their instincts. Therefore, they are even less aggressive towards humans than normal falcons and goats. This is the magic of magic. "Go this way!" Just this brief pause made Chen Niu feel dissatisfied, and he pointed downwards and urged. Lin Jue ignored it and saluted the falcon: "My surname is Lin and my name is Jue. I am honored to meet you. I heard that there is a monster here who can gather beasts and tame birds. I wonder where he lives?" The falcon turned its head and looked down the mountain. Lin Jue followed and looked. The falcon spread its wings and, taking advantage of the mountain wind and the height, glided toward the valley below, as if leading the way for them. Lin Jue and Luo Seng looked at each other, both of them understood something, and then they walked downstairs. In the distance, there were wolves gathering, two brown bears, and three gray-white bears, all much larger than normal wolves and bears, as if they were welcoming the people. The people and the white fox were not afraid at all, they just turned their heads to look at them, and walked towards the cabin by the lake without stopping. A sturdy figure bent over and came out. He was a middle-aged man with a bare upper body, a lot of chest hair and a beard. He was wearing only an ordinary pair of gray cloth pants on the lower body and was holding a wooden stick in his hand.

As soon as Lin Jue looked at him, he knew that this man was indeed practicing the art of gathering beasts and taming birds. Although there are evil people among those who practice the method of gathering beasts and taming birds, their evil is pure evil. In fact, both spiritual beasts and birds and people who practice the method of gathering beasts and taming birds can vaguely feel it. This feeling is vague, but it is actually the same feeling when using this method to communicate with animals and birds. Just as they can sense whether ordinary animals and birds are hostile or friendly towards them, animals and birds can also sense their kindness. “Found it!” The little ghost disappeared immediately. Lin Jue bowed to the man. The man was very surprised, but he also returned the greeting to Lin Jue by touching his chest. A huge white fox with four tails stood among the green grass, surrounded by wolves and giant bears. However, the wolves were sitting upright and staring at the group of people, while the giant bears were doing their own things. If ordinary people saw it, they would be amazed. "My name is Lin Jue." "Urum." "We were chasing a monster that had a grudge against us. We chased it into the desert ahead, and then we were walking back. When we passed by here, we heard that a monster was harming people on the roadside. Then a deity named Qinshan Zuzu came to us in a dream and said that the monster harming people on the roadside was you. We promised her that we would come here and get rid of you." Lin Jue said to him frankly. The man was immediately shocked and said a string of incomprehensible words. Yes, the two sides don’t speak the same language. If it were an ordinary person, he would have misunderstood. They are all cultivators of gathering beasts and training birds, and even birds and beasts can communicate, so how could they not know what each other means? "Ah……" Lin Jue couldn't help but laugh. How could the Qinshan ancestor have imagined that someone he met by chance would happen to know how to gather beasts and tame birds? Night fell again. A bonfire was lit by the lake. Ulm treated them to grilled fish. The two sides do not speak the same language, but there will be no misunderstanding, and there are other ways to communicate. In fact, this purer and more primitive communication seems to be more comfortable. At least there is no need to worry about misunderstandings or jokes caused by disrespectful wording. The current dynasties in the Central Plains, especially in the big places, often have some strange and eccentric customs, and often quarrel over such trivial matters. They really focus more on appearance than on substance. After a conversation, Lin felt that this person was actually a mountain spirit and monster, originally born in Qinshan. These mountain spirits and monsters were born from the spiritual charm of the mountains. If they practiced well, they could become the gods of the mountains. This kind of mountain gods are considered half-innate mountain gods, between innate mountain gods and acquired gods. They are often very extraordinary, such as the Yishan Mountain God.

This caused a conflict with the Qinshan ancestor. After all, we don’t speak the language, so we can’t know the details and can only know the general meaning. The rest is up to you to guess. To be on the safe side, Lin Jue took out a bottle and summoned the remaining souls of many warriors. As expected, they did not react at all when they saw the bears and wolves and the mountain spirit. Combined with Luo Gong's discovery, I felt more confident. It is already the end of the month and the night sky is full of stars. "Do you know about the thousand-year-old snow lotus? Do you know about it?" Lin Jue asked the mountain spirit, as well as the brown bear and the wolf pack beside him. "I asked the Qinshan ancestor, and she said there was a snow lotus society. Is it true or false?" "..." "There really is a Snow Lotus Society? It really happens seven years later?" "..." "It seems that she didn't lie to me on this point." "..." "Summer? Snow lotus blooms in summer?" Lin Jue nodded repeatedly, "I see. If you hadn't told me, I really wouldn't have known." "..." Lin Jue was talking with the mountain elves, bears and wolves around the campfire, while the fox turned back to the size of a cat and hid upright beside him. What it did was very simple, it just looked at whoever spoke. Luo Seng didn't understand. At first he thought this kind of magic was quite interesting, but soon he found it boring and simply stood up and paced around the fire. The junior sister was on the other side of the campfire. Naturally, she was not afraid of these giant beasts at all. She even ran to ask them who the monster was that was harming people on the official road. The brown bear sat like a human, and actually drew on the grass with its claws in response, drawing a person and a horse, which seemed to be the rough outline of a person and a horse. Then the mountain elf played the flute and music, and the sheep and wolves danced at the same time. The scene was fantastic and astonishing. Even until late at night, the interest did not diminish.
