After Ji Yuan watched the starry sky for a while, he went back to the house to sleep.
The indoor bed is padded with straw and cotton. It is actually quite comfortable, especially since the straw is spread evenly and is new. However, it is best to change the straw regularly for this kind of bed.
Take off your shoes and undress, and lie down on your side. The jade sign above the pillow has been changed. It is now the “Water Control Technique”. It is definitely a more orthodox water control technique than the orthodox Immortal Sect Water Control Technique.
About midnight, Ji Yuan opened his eyes while sleeping and heard some movement outside the Taoist temple.
The two Taoist priests opposite were sleeping soundly, while Ji Yuan straightened up, put on his coat, got out of bed, opened the door and walked out.
The mountain breeze outside was slightly cool, and Ji Yuan jumped to the roof of the Taoist kitchen with a single leap, without making a single sound during the whole process.
The Taoist kitchen wall is connected to the courtyard wall. One of the two doors in the kitchen faces the courtyard and the other faces outside. There are two animals as big as kittens rummaging around on the other side of the outer door of the kitchen, chewing and putting them away temporarily. It’s about the bone residue and stuff over there.
“Click la la…cluck la la…”
“Click…” “Uh-huh…”
The two beasts would occasionally fight over each other and make threatening roars.
Ji Yuan slowly sat down on the kitchen roof with great interest. His body was spotless and there was no smell at all, and he deliberately made no noise, so he would not scare the two eating animals.
Look at their small bodies and relatively sharp teeth. They have small heads, slender bodies, and slightly larger tails. At least they don’t look like cats.
‘Is this a weasel? Some kind of mountain weasel? It must be some kind of mink! ’
Animals such as jackals, tigers, leopards, foxes, and monkeys are highly recognizable. Ji Yuan can easily distinguish them even if his eyesight is not good. But now it is a little difficult for Ji Yuan to distinguish these two little things clearly. Anyway, it is definitely Just not a cat or a squirrel.
The only things that could be fought over by the two little animals were some fish bones and vegetable scraps soaked in some fish soup. Ji Yuan and Qi Wen ate relatively cleanly, so it was impossible to imagine how much meat there was.
Although these two little animals look very smart, Ji Yuan can’t see anything special about them so far. After all, I have seen a lot of smart animals in my life, and it is just fun to observe them on the roof at this moment. So far.
After all, there were not many bones and residues. The two small animals competed to eat some small bones and licked the marrow on the spine of some fish bones, leaving only large inedible bones.
But even so, the two little animals still walked away with a piece of bone in their mouths in the end. It was probably not enough to eat or lick the taste.
Just seven or eight feet outside the Taoist temple, a night owl suddenly flapped its wings and swooped down from a mountain tree.
“Giggle…giggle…”
The two small animals on the ground felt the danger and made a rapid cry, and the night owl also showed its sharp claws.
“Okay~~~~~”
With an animal scream, one of the small animals was caught by the night owl.
There was a noise of flapping wings, roars of animals, and calls of night owls.
Ji Yuan has been sitting on the roof of the Taoist temple’s kitchen, listening and watching. He hears very clearly but can’t see clearly. He is fully aware of what is happening. This is the way for all things to survive.
Only in this case, another animal suspected to be a mink should have fled immediately, but at this time it pounced on it with its claws and hook like a sickle, grabbing it as sharp as a knife, and fought to the death with it.
The night owl flapped its wings and tried to fly, but the other animal under its claws kept struggling, and even turned around and bit the night owl’s leg.
“Du~~~”
The Night Owl was in pain and flapped its wings wildly, swinging its sharp claws, and at the same time used its sharp beak to peck the mink at its feet. The skin of the mink was torn open in two or two strokes.
The other mink beast jumped on the night owl like crazy and bit the night owl’s wings.
“Beep…”
Pap-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat…
The night owl finally let go of its prey, flapped its wings and flew away. The two small animals were each injured. The one that was caught at the beginning looked like it was dying. Even so, it still struggled to move its body and tried to hide. When he reached a bush on the edge, Ji Yuan knew that they had not left, or that they were unable to leave for the time being and did not dare to leave.
The reaction just now does not mean that these two little animals have developed spiritual intelligence. The activation of spiritual intelligence in animals is still different from their own intelligence and emotions. The word “spiritual” is always first, which means spiritual intelligence. The beginning of an essential transformation.
But it is undeniable that animals that have enabled intelligence have come from similar beasts that are smarter and more emotional.
Ji Yuan stood up and was about to turn around and leave, but before leaving, he thought for a moment, stretched out his hand, and a piece of fresh fish tail left in the kitchen flew out, weighing about two or three kilograms.
Put a little bit on the fish flesh, injecting a trace of extremely weak spiritual energy, then use a few straw poles taken from the ground as ropes, pierce a hole in the fish tail, and then throw it under the eaves.
As the fish tail fell, it hung on the original wooden window sill of the outer door of the kitchen. As it swayed there, it always felt like it would fall to the ground soon but it never fell. It took about seven or eight breaths. The amplitude of the swing then gradually weakens and then stabilizes there.
The height of the fish tail is only about one foot from the ground, and there is only a tiny strand of spiritual energy in it. Eating the meat is slightly beneficial to the injury and can fill the stomach, but it has no other effect.
By the time the fish tail was stabilized, the people on the kitchen roof had disappeared. It was unclear whether the two little beasts would have the courage to come back and take the fish tail away again, or even the night owl or other beasts. Maybe they came to catch the fish.
‘If the fish tail is still there early the next morning, use it to cook. ’
With this idea in mind, Ji Yuan returned to the house. Before he lay down again, he suddenly had another idea, so he took out a crumpled white paper from the bag next to the bed and left the house again.
Then Ji Yuan stepped directly like smoke and fluttered, stepping on the rocks in succession, as if splashing in the mountain stream, heading towards the top of Yanxia Peak.
Ivy Sword, who was still leaning on the bed in the house, sensed that Ji Yuan left the Taoist temple and climbed upwards. He immediately levitated and went through the indoor window to chase his master.
Yunshan Temple itself is located above the waistline of Yanxia Peak, not at the top of the mountain. However, the location of Yunshan Temple is high enough that it only took a dozen breaths to reach the top.
The top of Yanxia Peak is about six to seven feet square, with no rocks or trees to block it. In addition, the front and rear are transparent, and the mountain breeze is much stronger than that below.
Sitting cross-legged on a large flat rock, Ji Yuan took out the white paper from his arms, pressed his hands on both sides of the paper and rubbed it, and the white paper became flat again.
With his left hand as a support and his right index finger as a pen, Ji Yuan just started writing on this piece of white paper. Although there was no ink, he had the power to write on it. It can be regarded as a combination of edicts and the use of objects to convey spirits. For this kind of The little invention is quite good at calculating fate.
After I finished writing, I felt it, and for the sake of insurance, I added some fine magic power to cover the entire paper.
“Well, the next step is to test whether my craftsmanship has deteriorated. It should be like this, right?”
Ji Yuan muttered and began to fold the white paper with his hands. He tried folding it repeatedly, and the paper became wrinkled and flattened again. After several times, a beautiful paper crane appeared in his hand.
“Phew…it’s not bad, not bad!”
Looking carefully at the Thousand Paper Crane, he repeatedly confirmed its exquisiteness before feeling reassured. Then Ji Yuan dipped his index finger into the saliva on his tongue and wrote vaguely on each of the two wings of the paper crane. One word, the left side is “fan” and the right side is “moving”.
“That’s pretty much it. Please take a trip.”
Ji Yuan said these words not to the paper crane, but to the Ivy Sword behind him. There is no way that this little paper crane has the ability to fly over thousands of mountains and rivers.
Ji Yuan took another long piece of his hair, wrapped it around the paper crane’s neck for several weeks, and then tied it to the hilt of the ivy sword.
“Go ahead.”
As soon as the master finished speaking, the Ivy Sword immediately pulled the paper crane up into the high-altitude wind, protecting the body of the paper crane with the sword’s will, and then turned into a stream of light and moved away towards the Gyeonggi Prefecture.
Watching Ivy Sword leave, Ji Yuan did not go down the mountain, because the purpose of climbing to the top was not to pass the book, otherwise it could be done at Yunshan Temple, and the more reason was to see the sunrise.
Even Paper Crane did a small experiment on an impromptu basis.
After waiting in the night wind for half the night, a white belly had turned up on the horizon, and then a golden light appeared. After a while, the entire Yunshan area was like the sun rising from the sea of clouds…
Not to mention the gathering of spiritual energy from clouds and clouds, Ji Yuan couldn’t help but open his eyes wide at this time. This was the first time in his life that he saw the beautiful sunrise over the sea of clouds.
. . .
It was already sunrise in Yunshan, but in Gyeonggi Prefecture the sky was still gray.
The Ivy Sword spanned thousands of miles, broke through the wind and fell from the high altitude above the Tongtian River in Jizhou, and hung at a precise position on the top of the Temple of the Goddess of the River beside the Zhuangyuan Ferry.
There was a slight rumble from the sword, and the long hair on the edge of the hilt fell off, and the whole hair was wrapped around the paper crane’s neck.
After the paper crane fell freely and was blown by the wind a few times, something magical happened.
The paper crane actually started to flap its wings, stabilizing its body that was floating in the wind, and then flapped its paper wings and fell towards the Jiangshen Empress Temple.
The Ivy Sword waited in the air for a moment and saw the paper crane falling into the temple before taking off again.
Inside Tongtian Jiangjiang Temple.
A paper crane, like a silent bird, flew through the temple corridor, past the house, and finally entered the main hall through the transom.
After flying around the statue of Jiang Shen for a few times, the paper crane landed on the right hand of the statue, and the light flashed and returned to silence.
About a quarter of an hour later, a gentle woman in gorgeous clothes came in a hurry. The temple, which had not yet opened, could not stop her. Finally, she opened the main hall door and walked inside.
As soon as the dragon girl entered the main hall, she raised her head and focused her eyes on the right hand of her statue. She stretched out her hand and a paper crane flew to the palm of her hand.
As soon as the paper crane landed in Dragon Girl’s hand, it flapped its wings twice, which made Dragon Girl poke at it twice out of curiosity, but the paper crane never came to life again.
“What kind of magic is this? It’s very funny. Does this hair belong to Uncle Ji?”
Subconsciously pulling out the hair of the paper crane, the paper crane in the dragon girl’s hand showed the effect of conveying the spirit through things, and the letters about the fate were conveyed to the dragon girl Ying Ruoli.
After a long time, the message was conveyed, but the dragon girl looked at the paper crane blankly with an expression of disbelief. She looked up and down several times, but it turned out that it was just an ordinary rice paper.
“No way…such a piece of paper flew six thousand miles? This…”
