Martial Arts and Longevity: Starting from the Spiritual Beast Picture

Chapter 98 The Sparrow Catcher
In the early morning, the East Wharf of Qinghe County.

The breeze brought coolness, and the sky was drizzling with drizzle. An old man wearing a bamboo hat and coir raincoat was sitting on the bank fishing contentedly.

A fishing rod made of bamboo, a fishing line made of twisted strands of twine, a pigeon feather as a float...

This year's weather is warm, coupled with days of light rain, the earthworms in the soil burrowed to the ground to breathe -- and there is also bait.

"Come on!"

The old man raised his hand, and a half-foot-long white fish flew out of the water and landed on the ground with a "slap".

Just after a few flops, the white fish was caught by a skinny hand and thrown into the fish basket with incomparable precision.

Unbeknownst to everyone, after a while, several silver lights rose above the fish basket, condensing into the appearance of an earthworm.

The silver light only lasted for a few breaths before dissipating into the air again.

"It seems that regenerative ability is not so easy to obtain. After all, I don't have five hearts like an earthworm, and my body is a simple cavity."

Zhao Lin passed by the old fisherman and thought after a quick glance.

Perhaps because the body structure is too different, it seems that it is easier to extract the spirit from animals.

For insects, only the spirit can be seen, but so far no one can absorb it.

Zhao Lin is now the head of the arrest, and he can assign his men to do the patrol work quickly. However, he feels bored in the yamen, and occasionally goes out to patrol the streets to feel the scenery of the county.

"I got it, I got it!"

There was a shout of joy from the front, and a fat and half-sized man, with a slingshot in his hand, ran towards a sparrow that had fallen to the ground.

Grain ships often dock at the wharf, and nearby sparrows gather here to steal the fallen grain.

"Brother is amazing, is the bird alive? I want to take it back and raise it." A little girl clapped her hands and said.

"Let me see!" The little fat pier picked up the sparrow from the ground.

Seeing the sparrow's spirit rise up, Zhao Lin thought that they might be disappointed.

"Oh, it's dead again."

Sure enough, the little fat pier cried out in disappointment.

Zhao Lin shook his head amusedly, and was about to leave when he suddenly realized that the spirit beast picture in his mind had moved!
He thought he was dazzled, but when he took a closer look, the spirit beast picture was shaking violently, the meaning was very obvious: the spirit of sparrows can be absorbed!
"what's the situation?"

Zhao Lin was taken aback. He had tried to kill birds a long time ago, and he had seen other hunters kill birds, but none of the spirit beast pictures responded.

What's going on today?

He stopped in his tracks, suspicious in his heart, and felt that his previous cognition had been overturned all of a sudden.

I don't have wings, how can I absorb the sparrow's spirit?

Does the sparrow have other special abilities?
impossible!The sparrow is the most common bird, not to mention other things, even the flying ability is the weakest among the birds.

Or... is this sparrow different?

He looked at the dusty sparrow in Xiaopangdun's hand, there was nothing special about it, and he felt even more puzzled.

Why did the spirit beast map suddenly change?
What would happen if you absorbed the spirit of a sparrow?
Zhao Lin has been thinking about this matter all morning, and has no intention of doing anything else at all.

The Spiritual Beast Picture contributed to his ability to make it this far, so he attaches great importance to this matter.

"Brother Zhao...Captain Zhao."

Zhao Lin was so absorbed in thinking about the sparrow that he didn't notice Liang Song walking across the street with Tao Erlen and two other police officers.

After he became the captain of the arrest, he promoted Liang Song to be the captain of the squad, responsible for the security of the two streets.

"fine……"

Just as Zhao Lin was about to confuse the past, he suddenly remembered that Liang Song was from a hunter, and said, "You know how to catch sparrows, right? Catch some for me, and you will live!"

Liang Song was taken aback, he didn't expect Zhao Lin to make such a strange request.

But he thought about it, when he used to have no food to eat, he used to catch sparrows everywhere to satisfy his hunger. Maybe Zhao Lin wanted to recall the taste of the past, so he didn't ask the reason, and said with a smile: "The house sparrows are very thieves, but it's hard to catch them. It's not difficult either."

"Then let's go."

Zhao Lin sent Tao Erleng and the two policemen away, and dragged Liang Song to the embankment.

"Wait a minute, prepare a few tools first."

Liang Song said a little funny.

After speaking, he took Zhao Lin to the market and bought two large bamboo plaques and a bamboo cage.

"Simple, right?"

Liang Song took out the rope around his waist and shook it.

Seeing these tools, Zhao Lin couldn't help but laugh.

This method of catching birds has been learned in textbooks before, and it is still Brother Xun's article.

"When it snowed, I swept out an open space, propped up a big bamboo plaque with a short stick, and sprinkled corn grains. When I watched the birds come to eat, I pulled the rope tied to the stick from a distance, and the bird The bird is covered under the bamboo plaque."

The two came to the embankment, set up a bamboo plaque with an iron ruler, and placed it in a place where birds often come and go, holding a rope in their hands, and guarding it from a distance.

There were a lot of sparrows by the embankment, and some of them would always come by without eyes. They caught seven or eight sparrows in less than an hour.

"Enough, enough."

Zhao Lin smiled and lifted the bamboo cage containing the sparrows, patted his stomach, "Let's find a place to eat first."

In order to catch birds, the two didn't even bother to eat lunch.

"Master Catcher, can you give me a sparrow?"

The little chubby who just hit the sparrow with a slingshot came over, looked at the official uniforms on the two of them, and said timidly.

"Don't call me a master, take it!"

Zhao Lin took out a sparrow from the cage and handed it to him with a smile.

"Thank you, Master Catcher."

The little fat pier took the sparrow carefully, thanked him, ran to the little girl, and flaunted loudly: "Look, I'm coming!"

Liang Song looked at Xiao Pangdun's back and shook his head, "The sparrow is the most angry. After being caught, it won't eat or drink. I can't see it for two days. It must be so angry."

Then he said to Zhao Lin: "There is little sparrow meat, you'd better fry it, add some salt and pepper, it tastes delicious."

……

Liuhemen, backyard study.

"What, Run Zedan ate?"

The old man in white stared wide-eyed, looked at Zhu Huaishan in surprise, his face full of disbelief, "Junior Brother Zhu, don't joke with me, the strength realm has not been cultivated, and it won't work if you eat it."

"Senior brother Pan, how can I joke with you about this kind of thing?"

Zhu Huaishan smiled, secretly proud in his heart.

He had long been worried about this, as the medicinal materials of Runze Pill were hard to find, even with Xingyunzong's wealth and wealth, he could only refine a few pills a year.

Such a good thing, it is strange that no one thinks about it.

Fortunately, it was given to Zhao Lin yesterday, and I'm afraid there will be twists and turns in the matter one day later.

The old man in white couldn't hide his disappointment, his face was slightly gloomy, "I heard that your apprentice, Zhao Lin, has just trained his bones, why did he train his tendons so quickly? You wouldn't give the pill to other apprentices, would you?"

Zhu Huaishan shook his head, "Senior Brother Pan made his inquiries quite clearly, to tell the truth, Zhao Lin's strength realm has already been fully cultivated."

The eyes of the old man in white flashed, "Is this true?"

"Exactly!"

The old man in white suddenly smiled, "Zhao Lin is only 16 years old, right? If it's true as you said, if you practice tendons at the age of 16, you can be ranked even in Xingyunzong."

"Such a good student, I want to see him."
