On the winter night of the twelve years of the reign of the emperor Kangxi Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, the sandalwood in the hall curled up, and in the chanting, a thin old monk sat on the top of the futon, and the calligraphy said: "the sky is broken, and the ground is broken, so you will miss it if you recognize it as a burden, and who dares to sit if you have broken your tongue." after writing, you can see the monks for a long time, and finally shake your head and sigh, but you throw a pen and die.
Chapter 29: Lingxiao
Chapter 31: Lingxiao Mo Can realized that these two strange birds are ghost owls, and this is an excellent hunting opportunity. This opportunity is fleeting. Without hesitation, he immediately took the bow to pick up the arrow, and his mind was focused on his arm to "swish" two arrows continuously, whistling straight to the two ghost faced owls with full internal power. At the sound of bowstring, the ghost owl turned around, and the sharp arrow had come to the front like lightning. But the smaller female bird suddenly waved its wings and shot an arrow down on the ground. And the male bird's head was shaking, and it was able to easily hold the sharp arrow with its sharp beak and spit it at its feet. The sharp eyes of the two ghost owls glanced at the Cyclobalanopsis, searched for the target in the dense canopy and roared at the same time. The Flying Tigers heard that the "Chi La" took off and rushed to the direction of Mo Can. At that time, there was a flash of lightning, followed by heavy rain and hail. The ghost owls and Flying Tigers "Hula" flew towards the cliff nest. Mo Can saw the situation and quickly slipped down the Cyclobalanopsis tree. He ran towards the water pool in the rain. He dived into the water and went back to the cave before putting his heart down. It's too suspended. I didn't expect that the ghost owl is so fierce that even the sharp arrow can't hurt it. If it wasn't for the thunderbolt and rainstorm, I'm afraid I would have been cut by the flying tiger. Mr. Xia and Ni E are still waiting in the hut for him to go back with the ghost face owl head, but he can't deal with the strange bird and those fierce Flying Tigers, and he is also trapped in the Tiankeng. Now the ghost owl must be alert after being attacked. It may also be making the Flying Tigers search for themselves everywhere, and they will not be able to go out blindly in the future. On the second day, when the water surface reflected the light, Mo Can quietly dived into the water pool, but he did not dare to blind his head, so he looked up under the water surface, and finally determined that there was nothing abnormal before he carefully stuck his head out of the water. Everything at the side of the pool is the same as before. He didn't see flying tigers and couldn't hear their flying voice. He crawled up the bank, probably because they didn't know that they were hiding under the pool, at least for now. Mo Can climbed to the tree with a medicine basket and picked half a basket of wild fruits. Then he ran to the water pool and dived back to the cave. These fruits are enough to eat for several days. At night, Mo Can couldn't sleep, so he got up and dived into the pool again, and came up quietly to listen to the movements of the ghost owl. The night sky and the moon are like water, and the Tiankeng is quiet. Mo Can lies on the grass beside the bank and looks up at the starry sky. He returns to his hometown Dali, thinking about Mo Jiayi and his father and mother. He feels better at home. When I was thinking about it, I suddenly heard the terrible cry of the ghost owl in the air, listened attentively and stared at the night sky with wide eyes, and the laughter was coming towards the pool. Mo Can was shocked, and immediately jumped into the water without much time to think. He didn't run back to the cave, but breathed tightly into the fetal rest state, and then hid in the water two feet deep. Across the water, first saw a group of Flying Tigers "Chi la la" circling above the pool, and then the two male and female ghost faced owls spread their wings from the sky and landed on the bank. Although he was a little nervous, Mo Can still lurked there quietly. The two ghost faced owls snuggled to the water, and then bent down to drink water. The location happened to be on the top of Mo Can's head, across the foot of the pool, and the moonlight was clearly shining on the ghost faced owl's face, which made Mo Can surprised. The male ghost face owl has an old face, and its face is covered with wrinkles like a very old man. The thick beak is covered with white beard, and the female is more aging, and even there are patches of old age spots on her cheek. Mo Can was excited. This is the old ghost face owl that Ni E said. Look at their looks, maybe they are hundreds of years old. It's an opportunity not to lose. If he suddenly moves at the moment, he will be killed by surprise. He can't care much. Mo Can will concentrate his thoughts on his hands and suddenly stick out of the water. As hard as a hook, his fingers respectively grabbed the neck of the two ghost owls and immediately dragged them into the water and directly sank into the bottom of the pool. There was a commotion on the water. The Flying Tigers did not know what was going on. They were flying around the pool to look for the missing ghost owl. In spite of the desperate struggle of the ghost owl, Mo Can insisted on holding on. After a long time, they stopped moving. After a while, Mo Can estimated that the two ghost owls were dead. Then he went back to the cave and left them on the ground. He was very relieved. The ghost owl was finally caught, but how to go back to the Tiankeng? Mo Can thought about it and had to gamble. Since there was no other way to go, then the green fluorescent corridor was the only way. Although it didn't know where it could go, it was better than watching the sky and waiting for death. Mo Can thought that more than ten strains were still pupillary, which is a rare real medicine for treating liver incurable disease. They must be collected. The ghost owl is dead, and those Flying Tigers don't know if they are still there. Anyway, it's worth the risk. In the early morning, Mo Can once again came out of the water and landed on the bank. Carrying a medicine basket and holding a bow and arrow, he quietly walked through the dense forest. He came to the back of the Cyclobalanopsis growing in the field with pupils, and hid to observe secretly. It was so quiet for four times that people were suspicious. As expected, he soon found that there were two Flying Tigers hidden under the tall and feathered leaves of the pupils, and there was no trace of other flying tigers. Mo Can quietly opened the bowstring and shot one arrow at each of the two flying tigers. The arrow penetrated the body of the flying tiger and fell down without a word. It's not too late. He rushed out of the dense forest path and went straight to the pupil plant. He bent the stem and broke off a foot long pod and threw it into the basket. Then there was the second one. When he picked seven or eight pods, the medicine basket was full. People can't be greedy, which is enough. When he turned and ran to the forest, the sound of "Chi La" Flying Tigers' wings fluttering was heard behind him. They came after him, and Mo Can didn't return to the head and plunged into the forest. The dense branches and leaves blocked the vision of the Flying Tigers. They couldn't chase into the dense forest. They only circled over the canopy and waited for the opportunity to dive in the open. Mo Can ran to the pool in a circuitous way where there were dense branches and leaves. There were no trees in the last ten fathoms. He took a breath, and his thoughts were concentrated on his legs. The Flying Tigers swooped down densely, and just a little bit of sharp wings swept on Mo Can's head. "Poop" splashed water, and he had already drilled into the pool. The Flying Tigers were angry and hovered on the water surface, refusing to leave for a long time. Back in the cave, after Mo Can put down the medicine basket, his heart was still beating. After a rest, he picked up a pod and opened it. He found that there were only two still pupils in it, which were diamond shaped and about the size of an egg. The ordinary still pupils were like rice grains, and there would be more than 100 in a single pod. Now the still pupils in his hands are undoubtedly the real medicine for hundreds of years. He peeled off all the pods and ordered a total of sixteen. Then he took half of the arrow bag and put it into the pupils to carefully tie the bag. It's time to start. Mo Can put on his clothes and trousers, and stepped on the bow and arrow. The bodies of two big birds were stuffed into the basket, and then drilled through the holes in the stone wall, and walked towards the depth of the corridor with the weak fluorescence. The underground caves are connected one by one, some are spacious as halls, some are narrow and only allowed to climb over, the fluorite on the stone wall is less and less, and the light is also dim, and finally it is completely dark. There was no way but to grope forward, and I don't know how long he walked. He felt hungry, so he sat down and ate a few wild fruits. After the break, he continued to walk. In the dark, he couldn't see the direction, and he couldn't tell the day from the night. In this way, he sleeps when he is tired, wakes up and walks. The wild fruit is also eaten up. The front is still dark, and he doesn't know if he can go out in this world. He gradually becomes desperate. When he was really hungry, he had to rip a piece of ghost face owl's flesh from the basket behind him to satisfy his hunger. I don't know how long it has passed, except for the head, the rest of the body of the two ghost face owls has been eaten up, and even the internal organs have been used to satisfy his hunger. In the belly of the ghost owl, Mo Can found two hard circular objects the size of soybeans, which emit weak fluorescence. What are these things? He looked at the green and faint particles like fireflies in his palm and thought it might be some kind of stone. When in the Bashan medical home, some patients would also emit such small stone like particles after taking the traditional Chinese medicine Paishi soup, but those stones did not emit light. Forget it. No matter what it is, he carefully placed it next to his body and continued to move on. Mo Can estimated that he had been in the cave for more than a month, but still failed to walk out of the underground labyrinth. However, Mo Can found that the cave didn't seem as dark as before, and gradually his eyes could barely see the surrounding stone walls and ground. He was surprised that he didn't walk out of the underground cave, and there was no fluorite on the stone walls. Is it related to eating the meat of the ghost owl? Like owls, ghost owls are birds with excellent night vision. There is a saying in Traditional Chinese Medicine dietotherapy that "shape complements shape", but it's not so bright. Finally, he understood that this pair of male and female ghost faced owls were not ordinary birds, but also a kind of real medicine. The life span of large owls is about twenty or thirty years. Look at the appearance of these two ghost faced owls. They are at least 100 years old. Animals are the same as herbs. The older they are, the more powerful they are. So the nutritional value of old hens is much higher than that of young chickens. The old man is much more mature than the young. Mo Can's night vision ability is greatly increased, and there is no need to grope slowly in the dark, so the speed is significantly accelerated. Soon after, he saw a glimmer of light in front of him and finally walked out of the underground cave. It was a sunny morning. Mo Can was greedy to breathe the fresh air, and his eyes swept over the mountains and valleys. It was great to be alive. He walked down the mountain in high spirits, came to a small mountain village, ate something at the farmer's home, and then hurriedly went on the road. Two or three days later, Mo Can finally returned to heiwuliao.
