Chapter Seventy-two Snow Sculpture

  Thanks for the update vote support from Laoren888. Just now, Xueying's one word was full of majesty to them. The villagers who saw this scene were all very puzzled.

  Only the old people in the village looked up at the sky. They heard this sound and immediately determined that it was the long-lost eagle. However, they also wondered if it had been a long time since they saw an eagle. In the past, when eagles couldn't find food, they would circle in the air, dive down, and snatch away a chicken, so the old people in the village had a very deep impression.

  "Lao Wu, have you seen Lao Ying?" the old village chief asked.

  "Look at that white spot in the sky," said Fifth Uncle, pointing. "It doesn't seem to be an eagle, it's white. Strange, how did this kind of animal end up in the south? I remember they're only supposed to be found in the vast snowy mountains where no one lives."

  Wu Shu's expression was somewhat excited, he was a well-known hunter in the village, but now the national policy does not allow the indiscriminate killing of wild animals, so he has been going into the mountains less often. Seeing this eagle, he liked it from the bottom of his heart.

  Liu Zhishen also nodded: "I've seen it once before, but not as fierce as this. This is called an eagle, bigger than a hawk. This is the true king of the sky, and old eagles will tuck their tails and run away when they see it."

  Liu Zhishen is the only person in the village with the surname Liu, and he is not a local. He is a teacher and currently teaches at Chujiazhuang Primary School Branch. The primary school has three grades but only two teachers, one of whom is Liu Zhishen's wife. His wife is from Chujiazhuang, which is why Liu Zhishen stayed.

  It is said that this Liu Zhishen was an orphan, his family was killed by the Japanese devils. He became a soldier at a young age, joined the Red Army, and killed Japanese devils. After liberation, for some reason he came to teach school, and later settled down in Chujiazhuang.

  The old village chief frowned slightly: "I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing! These chickens and ducks are so scared that they don't dare to come out to find food."

  Old Li, who was playing chess, also frowned and looked up at the sky.

  Lao Li is also a half-hunter, he's an expert at catching snakes, and snakes are natural enemies of eagles, so he's quite familiar with eagles. The sound just now was much more majestic than usual eagles, as if it was the king who had spoken.

  Eagles, due to their ferocity and impressive flight, have been a symbol of bravery, power, freedom, and independence for many tribes and nations since ancient times. The image of the dragon in ancient China also adopted the eagle's talons. In ancient Egyptian and Greek mythology, the Griffin, a creature that guarded treasure, was depicted as having an eagle's head and lion's body.

  Causing such a big impact, this was something that Chu Jiaqiang had not anticipated at all. He carried a large trunk back home, and the crowd discussing the snow sculpture in the sky couldn't help but ask: "What's going on?"

  "I cleaned up the house where the old Taoist lived and found these things. The old Taoist left a note saying they were for me, so I brought them back." Chu Jiaqiang said.

  Everyone's interest was piqued, and the old Taoist priest was spoken of as being very mysterious, they were also curious. Even Li Lao Tou had some expectations that the old Taoist priest would leave something for Chu Jia Qiang, although he had rarely interacted with the old Taoist priest before, but he had always been very respectful of him.

  "Quickly take it out and see what treasure there is." Wan Wei Ling said.

  "What's inside? Just some medicinal herbs, medical books and equipment, and a few paintings." Chu Jiaqiang smiled and opened the box to satisfy their curiosity.

  "Hmm! These calligraphy and jade pieces are quite valuable, they're worth a lot of money outside. Although Old Wan isn't an expert in antiques, he can vaguely tell that these calligraphy and jade pieces aren't cheap goods."

  "Is this the elixir that the old Taoist has been refining?" Wan Weiling opened a bottle, and just as Chu Jiaqiang was about to stop her, a fragrance of elixir wafted out, invigorating everyone present, especially the elderly.

  "What kind of elixir is this? It's really a bit like the legendary panacea!" said Wan Guoliang.

  Chu's family was strong, and the horseman immediately sealed the bottle: "This is the most precious thing left by the old Taoist priest: Rescue Heart Dan. It is said that it can save lives, and even make people who die suddenly come back to life. Specifically, I don't know."

  Everyone present was shocked. The old Taoist priest was indeed as mysterious as they had imagined, and he had actually refined such a heaven-defying thing.

  Little loli immediately made a fuss about hugging the snow sculpture: "Big brother, I want to hug the big snow sculpture."

  The snow eagle's sharp eyes shot over, and the little loli was immediately scared to come forward. All eagles are very proud, except for their owners, they won't pay attention to anyone else. And the snow eagle is the emperor standing at the top of the eagle class, even more so.

  Mrs. Wan immediately pulled her granddaughter close, knowing the temperament of this animal was extremely dangerous.

  At this time, the old village chief and others rushed to Chu Jiaqiang's old house. Seeing a huge snow sculpture standing on Chu Jiaqiang's shoulder, they were all shocked.

  "What's going on?" the old village chief asked involuntarily.

  Chu Jiaqiang patted the large snow sculpture on his shoulder, letting it fly away.

  "This thing has to be said a long time ago, when I went into the mountains with the old Taoist priest, and found this white eagle. The old Taoist priest said it was a snow sculpture from Snow Mountain. However, at that time, this snow sculpture was shot and injured, falling to the bottom of the cliff on Tianxia Peak. The old Taoist priest took pity on it, helped it recover from its injuries, and even gave it food. At that time, this snow sculpture was very proud, not only did it refuse the old Taoist priest's treatment, but also refused to eat anything. I stared at it with the old Taoist priest for a long time before it finally calmed down. However, after that, we basically never saw it again, and unexpectedly, after so many years, it still remembers people."

  Chu Jiaqiang finished his story and pulled the old Taoist down, and the crowd almost didn't resist believing it. One by one, they sighed that the old Taoist was indeed a divine person, and this snow sculpture wasn't something an ordinary person could subdue.

  "Eagles are very difficult to tame, especially adult snow eagles, which are quite proud. However, once tamed, they are extremely loyal. You're lucky to have the old Taoist's help, otherwise you'd just be staring at it for a few days and it might still ignore you." Wu Shu said enviously, attributing all the credit to the old Taoist. Li Lao Tou and Liu Laoshi also nodded in agreement.

  Learning that Chu Jiaqiang had gone to the old Taoist's house and found the things left behind by the old Taoist, the old village chief and others were even more emotional, one by one advising Chu Jiaqiang to study well the medical books left behind by the old Taoist.
