Siheyuan: Spring and Autumn

The bird's silver feathers sparkled in the sunlight.

It looks like it is catching a hare as easy as taking something out of a bag. It must be a Saker Falcon, the fastest and highest flying bird in the world.

Qin Zheng suddenly had an idea: Wouldn’t it be cool to have a Saker Falcon accompanying him?

If there was no space, he probably wouldn't even think about it. But now, all the conditions are met. Is there any need to hesitate?

Of course not. Without any hesitation, Qin Zheng ran towards the direction where the Saker Falcon was flying. His feet seemed to be off the ground, his posture was graceful, and his speed was unparalleled.

The Saker Falcon, also known as the gyrfalcon, is a kind of falcon native to the Northeast. It is the highest totem of the Manchu people and has titles such as "God's messenger", "the existence closest to God", and "God's chosen people". It is an important helper in hunting and can attack swans, chickens and rabbits.

In the Ming Dynasty, Li Shizhen wrote in his book Compendium of Materia Medica: "The most beautiful eagles are from Liaodong."

Qin Zheng was two kilometers away from the mountain in an instant. He looked up at the place where the Saker Falcon fell in his memory and began to climb the mountain.

The advantage of his magical speed became apparent. He could walk among trees and rocks as if on flat ground, as light and agile as a monkey.

"This physical fitness and athletic ability are many times stronger than in my previous life!"

As they got closer and closer to the place where the Saker Falcon landed, Qin Zheng slowed down his pace, restrained his breath, and used his spiritual sense to constantly feel the breath of life.

I saw a huge bird eating on a huge rock on the top of the cliff, and I confirmed that it was the Saker Falcon.

There is an idiom called "eagle-eyed and wolf-watching", which means having a sharp eye and doing ruthless things.

The Saker Falcon is the king of eagles, so its eyes are naturally very sharp and the slightest movement can alert it.

Qin Zheng hid in its blind spot and slowly approached.

Even so, the Saker Falcon became alert. It seemed to smell something strange and stopped eating. Its eyes kept darting around. It began to shake its wings restlessly, as if it was about to fly away.

The situation was urgent. Seeing that they were about to reach a distance of fifty meters, Qin Zheng no longer hesitated and quickly rushed towards the cliff.

The moment he appeared, his figure was immediately captured by the Saker Falcon. It spread its wings, left the ground with its feet, and prepared to fly.

But it takes time for an eagle to take off on the spot. But in just one second, Qin Zheng had already rushed into the range of 50 meters.

At the moment when the Saker Falcon accelerated, it disappeared on the spot.

Qin Zheng sat down on the ground with a thump. His head felt as if pricked by a needle. The pain and soreness were beyond words!

If it is a dead object, Qin Zheng can now easily collect items within a range of fifty meters, no matter how heavy or light, as long as it does not exceed 50 meters.

It's just like a file already saved in the computer, it's very easy to move from one folder to another.

But if it is a living thing, it will struggle and offset some of the force of space, and the spiritual consciousness will have some difficulty.

After a while, Qin Zheng came to his senses and couldn't help but smile bitterly. It was still a bit dangerous and the Saker Falcon almost escaped.

But it's worth the risk!

When I entered the space, I saw a Saker Falcon flying high up, circling in the sky like a black dot, looking restless.

This also gave Qin Zheng an understanding of the height of space.

This space has a diameter of 5000 meters, so the highest point of the space should be at least 5000 meters. Judging from the altitude it is flying at, it has almost reached the highest point of the space.

In this space, Qin Zheng is the king.

The Saker Falcon was immediately sent to Qin Zheng via space.

Even though it looked a little embarrassed, the Saker Falcon was still unruly and stared at Qin Zheng with its eyes fixed, as if it would pounce on him and bite him at the next moment.

Qin Zheng smiled slightly, took out a flying knife and cut his middle finger. A drop of blood flowed out and he smeared it on the head of the Saker Falcon and began to draw a pattern.

This is a little knowledge passed down by the jade token, a way to make strange beasts recognize their master in the art of taming beasts.

Qin Zheng didn't know whether the Saker Falcon was considered a rare beast, so he just gave it a try.

After all, the Gyrfalcon is known as the "God of the World", as evidenced by a poem: The divine eagle Gyrfalcon is as swift as thunder. With one strike, a swan can turn over. This magical creature is the pinnacle.

It really worked. When he finished drawing the pattern, a wonderful connection was established between him and the Saker Falcon.

The Saker Falcon was a little confused at first, but slowly, its gaze towards Qin Zheng began to soften, which meant that it had successfully recognized its master.

Qin Zheng stroked its head with his right hand and said softly, "From now on, you will be called Xiaodao."

Xiaodao raised his head and made a "chiu" sound, which was considered as an acknowledgement of the name. He rubbed his head on Qin Zheng's hand, and the first intimate contact between the master and servant was completed.

The figures of the two suddenly appeared outside the space, and Qin Zheng let out a long roar towards the sky.

With a whistling sound, the knife suddenly flew up from the spot and soared into the sky. When it reached the highest point, it folded its wings and dived down rapidly, like a thrown javelin, as fast as lightning, straight to the ground. When it was about to reach the ground, it spread its wings and slowly landed on Qin Zheng's shoulder, looking around with a radiant and powerful look.

"Eat, and when you're full we can go hunting in the mountains."

On the rock, the hare had been bitten to pieces and was bleeding, but Xiaodao had not yet finished eating.

The knife spread its wings, landed on the rock again, and lowered its head to enjoy the food.

Saker Falcons are very resistant to hunger and can go without food for 20 days after eating their fill.

It was at this time that Qin Zheng began to observe the knife.

Xiaodao is a male, more than 50 centimeters tall, which is considered medium according to records. His weight should be around 3 kilograms. His fur has slightly mottled colors, his toes are sharp, and his color is slightly yellowish.

It was also the first time that Qin Zheng saw a Saker Falcon. He only knew that the best Saker Falcon was found near Changbai Mountain in the far north. He didn't know whether the color of the knife was autumn yellow, wave yellow, or jade claw.

But Qin Zheng believed that after he raised it for a while, Xiaodao would definitely be the king among the Saker Falcons, absolutely the best in the world.

By the time Xiaodao finished eating, most of the rabbit had gone into his stomach. He really had a huge appetite.

Qin Zheng took out a cup from the space, which was filled with spiritual spring water, and handed it to Xiaodao and said, "Come on, take a look at the seam."

Xiaodao's eyes immediately straightened up. They were already round, and now they became even rounder. He immediately jumped down, making a chirping sound from his mouth, and quickly moved his mouth towards the teacup.

It seems that wild beasts are more sensitive to spiritual energy.

When the teacup was placed in front of it, Xiaodao started drinking immediately. After finishing the whole cup of water, it shook its head proudly and leaned towards Qin Zheng to express its affection.

Looking at its humane way of expression, Qin Zheng felt extremely satisfied. It was such a smart little cutie!

Yes, this Saker Falcon was only one year old and had just left its parents. It was like a blank sheet of paper waiting for Qin Zheng’s teachings.
