Chapter 151: Notes on Pigeon Training, the Divide of Art and Taoism

[Capture the remaining energy, do you want to refine it? ]

"Yes."

【You get sixteen points of good luck and two points of bad luck.】

Looking at this "contribution" from Liang Mingrui, Geng Xuan once again felt that the judgment mechanism of this "Flint Bead" was too rigid.

I won’t talk about the bad things this weirdo has done in the past.

Just this time, if he hadn't appeared.

The men and women imprisoned in these iron cages, as well as the families behind them, will most likely face extremely tragic endings.

In this series of tragedies, it is no exaggeration to say that Liang Mingrui deserves at least half of the credit.

But judging from the good fortune of the harvest, it can be seen that "Suizhu" did not put the blame on Liang Mingrui.

Moreover, as far as the current actual situation is concerned.

These caged men and women, and the families behind them, have climbed out of the deep pit that could have trapped them all.

Those assumptions about their miserable future no longer hold true.

Even if they fall into another deep pit in the future, it will have nothing to do with Liang Mingrui.

Naturally, no one needs to be held responsible for something that didn't happen.

From this perspective, there is nothing wrong with the judgment of "flint bead". It is very reasonable and objective.

But this reasonable and objective result made Geng Xuan feel quite annoyed.

The last time he felt similar emotions was when he met the gambler who sold his wife and daughter in the Lu family water prison in Baiyuanji, but only brought him four points of good luck.

Meeting such a bad person made Geng Xuan feel as disgusted as if he was eating a big meal and unexpectedly found a fly in his food.

The nausea that arose from the bottom of his heart made Geng Xuan turn around and leave the area.

As for the young man named Fan Hao, who had clearly woken up but continued to lie on the ground pretending to be dead, Geng Xuan let him continue to lie there without taking any extra measures.

Returning to the empty courtyard, Geng Xuan looked at Sheng Xiang beside him and said, "Is Qin Hexuan's Qin Mansion far from here?"

It was the nonsense Liang Mingrui said before his death that reminded Geng Xuan and made him decide to visit the Qin Mansion.

Sheng Xiang repeatedly said, "Not far, not far, it's nearby."

As he said this, he was about to lead the way.

At this moment, a few "cooing" sounds suddenly came from the night sky.

Geng Xuan looked in the direction of the sound and saw a pigeon circling in the night sky dozens of meters away.

Just as he looked at the pigeon through the night sky, the pigeon that flew over the Dingxingtang stronghold circled once and then flew away in another direction.

Judging from the situation, it will soon fly out of the range of Dingxingtang stronghold.

When Geng Xuan saw this, he didn't think much about it and thought it was just a wild pigeon that had lost its flock.

At this moment, Gu Yuqun, who had been relatively silent compared to Sheng Xiang, suddenly spoke up:

"Pigeon, leave that pigeon behind!"

As he spoke, he seemed to be afraid that Geng Xuan would not take it seriously, and quickly added:

“That’s most likely a carrier pigeon used by Wuyou Palace for communication.

If we let it leave like this, the people in the nearby Wuyou Palace will soon know what happened here."

In fact, Geng Xuan had already ejected a bean-sized stone when Gu Yuqun opened his mouth to remind him.

The stone flew across the night sky nearly a hundred meters high, with a force that was neither light nor heavy, but hit the forehead of the rapidly flying pigeon with extraordinary precision.

Then the pigeon rolled its eyes and fell directly to the ground.

Dahuang was the first one to rush towards the direction where the pigeon fell.

Baxiao, who is almost as big as Dahuang, follows closely behind.

Tonight, they were excited and followed the whole show with full confidence.

But until now, there has been no room for them to play.

Now, they finally have the chance to show off, and everyone is rushing to do so, unwilling to fall behind the dog.

Soon, Da Huang ran to Geng Xuan with a pigeon in his mouth, and handed the pigeon to Geng Xuan as a gift.

Geng Xuan took the pigeon, took a closer look, and found a small cylinder on its right leg.

He pulled out the stopper and pulled out a paper roll that was thicker than a cigarette.

Before unfolding the scroll, Geng Xuan was still worried about using an encrypted language that only his own people could understand.

After unfolding it, Geng Xuan found that they were all common characters, and he felt relieved.

The content on the paper is very simple.

……

[We have received your letter. We have mobilized thirty people from our office and recruited forty rangers.

There is one in the Marrow Refining Realm, fifteen in the Bone Refining Realm, and the rest in the Blood Refining Realm, all of whom are very good at actual combat.

When the carrier pigeon delivered the message, seventy riders had already set out from the west gate of Tainingji on horseback, and should be able to arrive outside Wanpingji before the end of the Yin hour.

To avoid encountering the Xuanyou Iron Cavalry in the wild, if the Xuanyou Iron Cavalry does attack tonight, please be sure to pay attention to their movements.

Let the reinforcements enter Wanpingji safely. 】

……

After reading the note, Geng Xuan asked Gu Yuqun, "Where is Tainingji located?"

"It's just east of Wanpingji." Gu Yuqun said.

"How far is it from here?" Geng Xuan asked again.

"Nearly seventy miles."

Geng Xuan nodded slightly and asked, "According to your original plan, how did you arrange things tonight?"

Gu Yuqun was stunned for a moment, and then he honestly told Wan Pingji's original plan.

After confirming through various clues that there was a force of over a hundred Xuanyou cavalrymen in Fengzefang, only thirty miles away from Wanpingji.

Because of the two incidents of urging for grain for the second time and stealing people, Qin Hexuan and Deputy Envoy Xu You, who confirmed that the two sides were already in a state of hostility, immediately took action.

The two sides worked together. Qin Hexuan, in the name of the grand master, mobilized all the forces in Wanpingji as much as possible and actively made various responses to the possible night attack by the Xuanyou Iron Cavalry.

Xu Hao, Deputy Envoy Xu You of Wuyou Palace, passed the news on immediately and asked Dingxingtang, which was based in a nearby market, to organize as many people as possible and rush to Wanpingji to join them.

From Fan Hao, they already knew that all the Xuanyou Iron Cavalry had left Fengzefang.

But they didn't know where the Xuanyou cavalry went after leaving Fengzefang at night.

Under such circumstances, they all made the worst plan, that is, the target of this Xuanyou Iron Cavalry was Wanpingji.

With no idea of the strength of the Xuanyou Iron Cavalry, the two men formulated a very conservative strategy after communicating with each other.

Never leave Wanpingji and have sex with the other party for any reason.

Qin Hexuan can be said to have executed this point very well. Even when Hong Quan belittled and ridiculed him, he did not waver at all.

All they have to do tonight is to delay and spend the night in peace.

It would be best if we could deter the other party from leaving Wanpingji.

If not, then they will make use of the various arrangements they made in advance in Wanpingji and deal with the other party as much as possible.

Wait for the forces of Wuyou Palace to be mobilized before considering counterattack or even defeating them.

Deputy Envoy Xu You and Qin Hexuan thought that this arrangement was very safe.

There are six powerful men in the Marrow Refining Realm above, which is enough to ensure that the top combat force is invincible.

Fighting at home, they could mobilize far more people than the Xuanyou Iron Cavalry.

Not only are there favorable people, but also favorable geographical conditions.

They have put themselves in a defensive disadvantage as much as possible, but with such confidence and so many chips.

Qin Hexuan and Deputy Envoy Xu You were both full of confidence in the outcome of tonight.

Until a section of the city wall collapsed in an instant, and the unharmed Xuanyou cavalry rushed towards them from a direction they had never expected.

Then, led by Deputy Envoy Xu You and Qin Hexuan, six people in the Marrow Refining Realm who called themselves the "backbone" immediately turned around and fled.

Unfortunately, even so, they were unable to escape successfully.

Ultimately, there was only one reason: they seriously underestimated Geng Xuan's strength.

After listening to Gu Yuqun's story, Geng Xuan said thoughtfully:
"So, from tonight to tomorrow, a lot of Wuyou Palace reinforcements from surrounding strongholds will rush to Wanpingji?"

Gu Yuqun nodded at first, but then shook his head.

"That was originally the case, but now it should be impossible."

"Why?" Geng Xuan was curious.

As he spoke, he seemed to have thought of something and asked:
"Are you worried that the incident that happened in Wanpingji tonight will spread?

Those who were on the front line either died or surrendered.

My people are still over there cleaning up the mess. Could it be that some of them are still determined to continue opposing me?

...Or is it that the people that Wuyou Palace arranged in Wanpingji have not yet been completely killed?

Will they try to spread the news of tonight's events?"

Gu Yuqun was startled by Geng Xuan's question and quickly waved his hands:
"No, no... Well, I can't guarantee that everyone in Wuyou Palace is completely dead.

That’s not the reason I’m talking about.”

As he spoke, Gu Yuqun pointed at the dead pigeon in Geng Xuan's hand and said:
“The reason I say that is because of it.

As far as I know, Wuyou Palace attaches great importance to the smooth flow of information.

In addition to the mobilization of personnel, every important action also involves more intensive and frequent information transmission.

The message delivery is considered successful only if the carrier pigeons that are sent out return.

If the carrier pigeon never returns, it will be considered a failure of message delivery.

There are many possible ways to fail, and the party delivering the information will have various responses.

I don’t know how the reinforcements from Tainingji will respond, but what is certain is that they will be on high alert and alert the reinforcements from other strongholds.

Under such circumstances, it would be impossible for them to act as originally planned."

After listening to Gu Yuqun's story, Geng Xuan suddenly understood.

This carrier pigeon is not only used to deliver messages, but also as a way of "testing the waters".

If a carrier pigeon is intercepted by someone with ulterior motives and the intelligence contained in it is obtained, he or she will think that he or she has the upper hand.

The Worry-Free Palace, which was capable of transmitting information, had already achieved its purpose the moment the carrier pigeon was intercepted.

Geng Xuan, who had figured out the ins and outs of this, couldn't help but secretly praise this ingenious design.

To be honest, this design is not complicated, it can even be called simple.

But through this small detail, Geng Xuan saw a special temperament that he had never seen in other forces before.

profession.

Geng Xuan knew long ago that Wuyou Palace had extremely powerful intelligence-gathering capabilities due to its widely distributed strongholds, spies, and informants.

But the knowledge stops there.

Until now, the detail of the pigeons traveling back and forth has given Geng Xuan a more real feeling.

The expressions of Gu Yuqun and Sheng Xiang were not very good.

This carrier pigeon also reminded them that although they were lucky enough to have survived the clutches of this vicious man.

But that doesn't mean they are really safe.

There will be more "tests" from Wuyou Palace later.

They didn't even dare to think deeply about the difficulty.

But now, when a carrier pigeon from another base of Wuyou Palace appeared in front of them, lying motionless in the palm of the murderer in front of them, it was impossible for the two of them to play dumb.

Geng Xuan did not have the same complicated thoughts as the other two, and his mighty strength became gentler than ever before.

A tiny amount of light emerged from the palm of his hand and slowly seeped into the body of the pigeon in his palm.

When the pigeon lying motionless in his palm showed signs of waking up, flapping its wings and kicking its legs, Geng Xuan immediately withdrew his Wanjun Jin.

Seeing the pigeon come back to life, Gu Yuqun and Sheng Xiang both showed surprise on their faces.

When Geng Xuan attacked, he was particularly careful to control the strength of his attack.

After confirming that the pigeon had fully recovered, he looked at Gu Yuqun and asked:
"Can you just put it back like this? You don't need me to write another letter, right?"

He was still thinking, if there must be a reply, it must be some kind of code that only both parties can understand.

Even if he sent the pigeon back, it would be of no use.

It is even likely to make those who receive the message more vigilant.

However, even so, Geng Xuan still planned to give it a try.

This time, facing Geng Xuan's question, Gu Yuqun shook his head and said:
"I'm not sure about that...but I guess it depends on whether both parties have agreed in advance.

If this is the case, only they themselves know what the correct response is."

Geng Xuan nodded slightly, knowing that what Gu Yuqun said was true.

But he still decided to give it a try, so he raised the palm of his hand holding the carrier pigeon into the air, signaling it to take off quickly.

But since waking up, this carrier pigeon has been standing blankly in his palm.

Even though he signaled it so clearly at this time, it didn't fly away at all, and still stood quietly in his palm.

"Did it get stunned by that blow?"

Thinking this in his mind, Geng Xuan, not knowing what to do, reached out and held its little head in his palm.

……

The dog-walking technique is called the dog-walking technique, but its effectiveness is not entirely limited to dogs.

However, this secret technique is most effective when used on dogs.

It can also be used on Xuanyou horses to calm their anxious and panicky emotions.

The dog-walking technique is also effective on the local Yuanzhou horses.

However, perhaps because of the lower spiritual level, communication on the spiritual level has become more difficult.

Its effect against Yuanzhou horses is much worse than that against Xuanyou horses.

Now, Geng Xuan used the dog-walking technique on a pigeon, but the effect was even worse than when he used it on the Yuanzhou horse.

But Geng Xuan was not disappointed, but rather quite surprised.

“It works, it really does.”

As he fully displayed the perfect level of the dog-running technique, Geng Xuan vaguely felt that inside the pigeon's tiny head.

There is a wisp of spirituality as thin as smoke in a disordered state, completely unable to communicate.

Geng Xuan found that he was completely helpless.

"Did he really get beaten stupid?"

Of course, there could be another reason. This is already the limit of what the Perfect Realm Dog Running Technique can do to a pigeon.

At this moment, Geng Xuan felt his right leg being rubbed gently.

He turned his gaze away from "Silly Pigeon" and looked down, only to see Yellow Ear gently bumping his right leg with his head.

When he looked down, Huang Er had just stopped hitting, looked up at him, opened his mouth and laughed "Haha", and his tail was constantly shaking.

Geng Xuan couldn't understand dog language.

However, with the perfect dog-walking technique, Geng Xuan established a solid connection with Da Huang and Ba Xiao based on the level of vital energy.

This means he doesn't need to understand dog language. When they have clear intentions to convey, he can sense them very clearly.

It’s just that the simpler the meaning, the easier and more accurate it is to understand.

The more complex the meaning, the more difficult it is to understand, and there is even the possibility of ambiguity.

In actual use, it is usually used for warnings and prompts.

As well as tactical arrangements and coordination during "hunting" and "tracking", etc.

There are actual combat, practice, and summary, and this is the area where both sides have achieved the most effective coordination.

The two sides can accurately arrange and adjust tactics without any contact or voice communication.

Compared with this type of communication method that both parties have developed very maturely, Huang Er's intention at this moment is obviously much more complicated.

It kept making "haha woo woo" sounds for a long time, and Geng Xuan couldn't clearly understand what it meant.

Huang Er, who was so good-tempered at first and kept saying "woof woof" now seemed to be desperate about this inefficient communication and showed an obviously annoyed expression.

Then he barked "Woof woof" twice, jumped up, and picked up the pigeon that was still standing stupidly in Geng Xuan's palm in his mouth.

Then he turned and ran to the side.

Geng Xuan was about to chase him, but he cried out in surprise and tried to stop him:

"Hey, this pigeon can't be eaten... If you're really greedy, I'll find you another one!"

Huang Er ignored him and ran away with the pigeon in his mouth.

When Geng Xuan quickly caught up with it, it turned around and whined at him twice.

Because he had a pigeon in his mouth, his cry was particularly low.

This time, Geng Xuan understood its intention very accurately.

Stop, stop!
After hesitating for a while, Geng Xuan stopped.

He decided to trust Huang Er.

What's more, facing this spiritually disordered pigeon, it seems to have been really beaten stupid.

He really didn't know how to deal with it in order to make it recover.

In that case, let Huang Er handle it.

Even if he really tore it apart and ate it, he wouldn't really feel sorry.

After confirming that Geng Xuan had really stopped, Huang Er slowed down his pace.

He even turned around and walked closer to Geng Xuan, as if he wanted to let him see clearly.

Then, it released the pigeon in the open space.

The carrier pigeon just stood there blankly, not knowing how to fly or run.

Huang Er stepped aside and communicated with Da Huang and the other "Seven Little Ones" in dog language "Woof woof woof" for a while.

They all communicated in dog language, and there were no communication barriers this time.

Soon, the dogs' communication ended.

Dahuang, Huang'er, and the other "seven little ones" scattered around the carrier pigeon, running in small steps and making low humming sounds from their mouths.

Gu Yuqun and Sheng Xiang were both puzzled when they saw this scene. "Your Excellency..." Gu Yuqun opened his mouth to say something.

Geng Xuan immediately interrupted softly, "Read on."

As he spoke, his eyes did not move, staring at the "performance" of one pigeon and nine dogs in front of him without blinking.

Compared with Sheng Xiang and Gu Yuqun who are "restless and irritable", Fang Jintang, Qi Mingcheng and others in the same courtyard are very low-key.

If they don't speak, people might even ignore their existence.

Huang Er, Da Huang, and the other "Seven Little Ones" circled around "Dai Ge" twice, as if they had completed a warm-up.

Huang Er suddenly pounced forward, a terrifying whimpering sound coming from his mouth, and his dog face became extremely ferocious.

It pounced in front of "Dai Ge" and suddenly bit "Dai Ge" on the head.

Looking at Huang Er's exaggeratedly large mouth, Geng Xuan realized that even the youngest Huang Er had grown to the size of an adult dog.

Those terrifying and ferocious fangs no longer had any trace of "cuteness".

The next moment, Huang Er closed his mouth and took the whole "Dumb Pigeon" into his mouth.

Only two tiny pigeon legs protruded from its mouth.

Just as the yellow-eared beast closed its mouth and completely enclosed the body of "Dai Ge", Geng Xuan clearly saw that the legs of "Dai Ge" began to tremble noticeably.

Just when Huang Er was about to bite the "Dumb Pigeon" to death and split it in two, Da Huang suddenly rushed towards it.

While howling, he hit Huang Er's head hard.

Huang Er's mouth, which was about to bite to death, was knocked open a little.

The "stupid pigeon" fell out of Huang Er's mouth.

But before this "stupid pigeon" fell to the ground, and before Huang'er caught it again, Dahuang had no time to enjoy the "results" of his powerful collision.

Another dog flashed from the side, biting "Dumb Pigeon" into its mouth, and rushed forward without stopping.

Sixth child!

The dog that took the opportunity to snatch "Da Ge" away was the one that Geng Xuan sloppily named "A Liu", the sixth puppy born from Da Huang's body!

But Lao Liu was unable to run far away. Just in front of him, two fierce dogs, one on the left and one on the right, rushed towards him at the same time.

The next moment, Lao Liu rolled into the air with his mouth crooked and eyes slanted.

The "stupid pigeon" that was held in his mouth and was about to be bitten to pieces the next moment luckily flew out of his mouth again and flew high into the sky.

This time, Geng Xuan clearly saw that the "stupid pigeon" that had "escaped from the dog's mouth" again not only had its legs shaking even more violently, but its wings also showed obvious signs of flapping again.

But before this "stupid pigeon" could react further.

Once again it entered the mouth of another vicious dog.

In this way, Dahuang and "Baxiao" performed a "battle for stupid pigeons" that was so real that there was no flaw at all.

The moment they grabbed the "daub", the vicious dogs showed no intention of letting go.

But under the competition of other vicious dogs, it was able to escape from the dog's mouth every time.

The most "sinister" time was when three vicious dogs targeted the little dog at the same time.

One bit the head, one bit the left leg, and one bit the right leg.

The next moment, "Dumb Pigeon" will be completely dismembered.

But at the next moment, the other three vicious dogs happened to hit them on the head at the same time.

"Ow!"

"Ow!"

"Ow!"

The three vicious dogs whose heads were hit howled in pain at the same time and opened their mouths.

"Stupid Pigeon" was thrown high into the air again.

At this moment, the "Dumb Pigeon" did not fall again.

Almost when it was thrown to the highest point, its wings, which had been bitten by countless dogs but were "lucky" enough not to lose even a single hair, suddenly flapped violently.

Then, it flew almost straight into the sky.

Just as it was about to fly out of the height of the courtyard wall and into the wider night sky, a hand gently pressed down from above and held it in the palm of its hand.

Geng Xuan held the pigeon in his palm and landed it on the ground again. Da Huang and Ba Xiao, who had been fighting fiercely just now, had calmed down again.

Watching the pigeon's eyes regain their vitality, I felt the spirituality within its head.

Although it is as light as smoke, it is not disordered at all. Instead, it expands and contracts in an orderly manner.

Geng Xuan finally became convinced that "Dai Ge" had indeed recovered on its own initiative under the coercion of "vicious dogs" such as Huang Er and Da Huang.

"What is this? To unleash the potential of life itself.

Let life actively seek a 'way out' under the pressure of death crisis. "

Geng Xuan felt that he understood Huang Er's treatment ideas.

Were you beaten silly?

Just scare it back again.

What if I can’t scare him back?
Of course it’s served cold.

He is just a dog. He can think of such a method. It is amazing. What else does he want?

"Okay, go back.

Go back to where you came from."

Geng Xuan conveyed this thought and threw the pigeon in his hand back into the air.

"Cuckoo-"

The pigeon flapped its wings and flew off into the vast night sky again. It cooed twice towards the courtyard below, then fluttered its wings and flew away quickly.

The pigeon flew away, and all around was quiet.

Geng Xuan turned his head and found that everyone's eyes were on Da Huang and the other eight dogs.

Among them, the yellow ear fish attracted the most attention.

No one spoke, no one asked.

But Geng Xuan clearly read the same sentence from everyone's eyes.

"Is this really a dog?"

Those eyes were filled with emotions of "greed" and "desire".

Geng Xuan suddenly felt very happy. This made him happier than when he had just killed four powerful Marrow Refining Realm masters in public.

Even if you praise me or flatter me to my face, I probably won't care.

But if you envy me for having a group of good dogs... then I'm sorry, you can just be jealous for a while.

Don’t have any bad thoughts, these are all mine!

……

Just then, the sound of iron hooves was heard outside the yard.

Hong Quan, wearing iron armor, entered the courtyard alone and reported the subsequent handling to Geng Xuan.

“The market guards were very cooperative and have already regained control of the situation in Wanping Market according to our request.

The other practitioners did not let them leave and followed the market guards.

The entire Wanpingji has now been taken over by them.

They supervise each other.

No one can do anything without being seen by others.

In this case, unless they all defect, there is no need to worry about them doing anything to harm us.

...As long as nothing new happens, this force could be fully utilized by us in a short period of time."

After listening to Hong Quan's solution, Geng Xuan nodded with satisfaction and asked:
"Is there any trouble somewhere else?"

Hong Quan shook his head and said:
“No, Qin Hexuan had already issued martial law to the entire Wanpingji long before we came here.

Except for combatants, no one else is allowed to wander around outside, or they will be killed without mercy."

"So, other places don't know yet that Qin Hexuan and others are dead?" Geng Xuan asked.

Hong Quan nodded, "That's right."

Geng Xuan thought for a moment and said:
"So, you arrange a group of people to take care of the Xuanyou horses, and give them more Xuanyou pills so that they can have more time to rest and recover.

You should personally bring a group of powerful gang members to visit Qin Hexuan's residence.

...You can figure out how to do it yourself, but be careful not to waste too much time."

Originally, Geng Xuan wanted to give him more detailed instructions on what to do after arriving at Qin's house.

But Hong Quan's performance in recent times has proved that his ability is very good.

Whether it is his cultivation strength or his ability to do things, he is not bad.

The best approach for such subordinates is to give them full autonomy in action.

Avoid remote micro-management.

After hearing the new order, Hong Quan immediately bowed and accepted it.

Then he asked, "Boss, are we going to take action tonight?"

Geng Xuan nodded and said, "Yes, that should be it."

He did not give a very clear answer to this question.

This vague answer made Hong Quan seem very sure.

He immediately said, "Boss, I'll make the arrangements."

"Well, let's go."

After Hong Quan left, Geng Xuan took everyone to a large study room that was over 200 square meters.

At his request, everyone worked together and began to search through boxes and cabinets.

This is a game of "searching" and "counter-searching".

It can be seen that everyone has rich experience and insights in these two aspects.

Moreover, everyone has invested great interest in this matter.

Various results were presented to Geng Xuan one after another.

There were manuals, notebooks, and scrolls of information that seemed to have been brought by carrier pigeons...

Silver, pills...

Although Geng Xuan paid attention to these gains, he did not care too much about them.

At this moment, Mr. Chai, who was standing in a corner of the study, suddenly said, "There should be an entrance to an underground secret room here."

Soon, everyone gave up their current goals and came to Mr. Chai.

When he saw him remove a heavy stone slab, revealing a staircase leading deep underground, even Qi Mingcheng couldn't help but praise:

"I just passed by here and didn't notice it... Master Chai is really experienced!"

Because Geng Xuan always addressed him as "Master Chai", Qi Mingcheng, Fang Jintang and others naturally would not put on airs in this regard and also addressed him as "Master Chai".

Faced with this praise, Mr. Chai didn't say much, just smiled.

When everyone walked up the stairs into the underground secret room, they found that this underground secret room was not much smaller than the one above.

After lighting up the extinguished oil lamps on the wall, everyone started searching again.

More harvests were carried out from the underground secret room by everyone, but Geng Xuan's attention was mostly focused on the notes on the martial arts.

Finally, Geng Xuan's gaze rested on a notebook.

Notes on Pigeon Training

Geng Xuan took the notebook, sat down on a chair nearby and began to read it carefully.

This is a notebook about pigeon training.

The core of the notes is to teach someone who has no experience in pigeon training how to acquire the ability to flexibly manipulate and even communicate with pigeons in the shortest possible time.

Geng Xuan nodded, although it was still a little different from what he really wanted to find.

But at least this was a contact, and his wish was not completely dashed.

While turning the pages quickly, Geng Xuan saw the three words "Pigeon Taming" many times.

There is no doubt that this is another ninth-rate secret technique.

However, the Nine-Rank Secret Art is "Pigeon Training", not the "Pigeon Training Notes" in front of him.

This book "Pigeon Training Notes" can only be regarded as a castrated version, an eradicated version of pigeon training skills.

It is only responsible for letting practitioners "know the facts" but not responsible for letting practitioners "know the reasons behind them".

In some places, obstacles are even deliberately set up to forcibly block practitioners from understanding the reasons behind it.

If "Pigeon Training" is to teach people how to fish, then this "Pigeon Training Notes" is to give people fish.

The values of the two are not at the same level at all.

Based on his own experience, Geng Xuan can basically conclude that if one fully masters the "Pigeon Taming Chapter", a practitioner can start from scratch.

From selecting pigeons, domesticating, breeding, cultivating trained pigeon breeds that suit your taste, and then continuously multiplying and optimizing them.

However, "Notes on Pigeon Training" can only allow people to flexibly use a group of completely domesticated pigeons.

One is to enable people to have the ability to write code and program by themselves, and the other is an instruction manual for an existing program.

Geng Xuan got some new inspiration from this "Notes on Pigeon Training".

If you have mastered the art of running a dog to perfection, you can use this idea to write a book called "Running Dog Notes".

The quality can only be better than this "Pigeon Training Notes".

The person who practices this notebook will have the ability to control dogs that is no less than his.

Of course, the prerequisite is that he must first have a group of dogs that have been completely "enlightened" by him.

Thinking of this, Geng Xuan suddenly felt an urge to try it out.

“Let’s not talk about anything else. If I let those hunting teams in the neighborhoods, who are already good at tracking in the mountains and forests, equip each of them with a dog that can communicate with its master’s mind.

In a special environment like the jungle, this improvement in their strength would be more significant than directly improving their cultivation to a higher level!
...Well, they can be trained as special tracking soldiers."

“Well, the lack of hard power in the dog is a fatal flaw, and I can’t use the red on other dogs.

In addition to selecting and breeding them from generation to generation, we can equip them with more dogs. If the quality is not enough, we can make up for it with quantity.”

In Geng Xuan's mind, there appeared a scene of groups of dogs like jungle elves and children of the wilderness wreaking havoc on the mountains and wilderness under the control of people who had mastered the "Dog Training Notes".

This was the inspiration that came to Geng Xuan's mind after he had roughly read "Notes on Pigeon Training" for the first time.

“It’s an interesting path indeed.”

“Moreover, based on past life experience, dogs can be used for more than just tracking and hunting.

It can also conduct surveillance and search and rescue, and guard battles... With such broad prospects, it is really worth a try."

After Geng Xuan suppressed the urge to try it out, he began to read it more carefully for the second time.

During this process, new red air floated towards him from afar.

Geng Xuan knew that this was the action of Hong Quan and others in the Qin Mansion.

Geng Xuan just made the choice mechanically, and all his thoughts were still on the "Pigeon Training Notes" in his hand.

Soon, new inspiration emerged in his heart.

There is no doubt that this book “Pigeon Training Notes” was written by someone who truly mastered the “pigeon training technique” and there is a great possibility that he has mastered it to the level of “master” or above.

Although this person consciously concealed, blocked and castrated the content that truly leads to "pigeon training", he only showed the most superficial "glimpses".

People can only see the appearance but cannot see the essence.

But Geng Xuan is not an ordinary person.

He is a man who has mastered the three doors and nine streams of secret arts and cultivated them to perfection.

In terms of understanding of the Nine Paths of Secret Arts, his level is even higher than that of the author.

Moreover, Geng Xuan had long realized that "The Running Dog Chapter" and other Nine-Rank Secret Arts such as "The Horse Judging Chapter" and "The Flying Eagle Chapter" which he had heard of for a long time but had never seen the actual appearance of, had many similarities or even "combinations" in them.

This book "The Taming of the Pigeon" is no exception.

Notes on Pigeon Training only teaches techniques but does not teach the truth. For others, this may be a problem, making them always stuck in circles at the door.

No matter how well you practice, it is just like memorizing the instruction manual by heart, which is of no benefit.

But for Geng Xuan, he did not lack the "Tao" at all. What he lacked was exactly the "skill" of "training pigeons".

To put it more clearly, there are the "coordinates" set by the Perfection Realm Dog-Training Technique as a reference guide, and there are all the elements of the "Pigeon Training Notes" that clearly define the starting point.

There was a blank middle process, and he could completely complete it on his own.

He doesn't need to rely on the existing book "Training Pigeons". He can create another book "Training Pigeons" based on his own experience and needs.

If two articles are similar, then we can only say that they "reach the same destination by different means."

Any similarity is purely coincidental.

If the two articles are completely different, it means that I have taken a new path in pigeon training.

Moreover, Geng Xuan was confident that this method would be no worse than the existing old one.

Although the other party tried his best to conceal the truth of "Pigeon Training", through the "Pigeon Training Notes", all the "techniques" contained in it were revealed to him without any cover.

He could just copy it.

Ah, that’s not right, how can it be called plagiarism?

Since the disciple is destined to surpass the master, it is not called copying, that is called "please lend me your shoulder, I want to stand on it and enjoy the scenery."

This was the inspiration that came to Geng Xuan's mind when he was reading it carefully for the second time.

Whether it is the inspiration generated during the first rough reading or the ideas that are now conceived from the bottom of my heart, they are all highly practical.

Geng Xuan never expected that a notebook that looked far less valuable than "The Taming of Pigeons", of which he had copied countless copies inside Wuyou Palace, could bring him so many valuable gains.

at this time.

"Cuckoo-"

The "coo" sound was heard again in the night sky outside the window.

No longer needing anyone's reminder, Geng Xuan put down his notes and walked out of the study.

He put his fingers in front of his mouth and made a strange sound, but it could carry a very long distance in the night sky.

The next moment, a black and white dove landed on the palm of Geng Xuan's outstretched left hand.

He took down the paper scroll, stretched out his hand and pushed it forward, and the pigeon flapped its wings and flew up.

It flew into the night sky again and soon disappeared.
