Chapter 152 Haidongqing
Li Xuan and a crew member continued to start busy on the deck.
Not to mention, the income brought to Li Xuan was really considerable.
It is too dangerous to get such a harvest, otherwise Li Xuan would have been looking forward to encountering a few more tornados.
While picking up the fishing catch, Li Xuan observed the black shadow hovering above his head.
The more I looked at it, the more I felt something was wrong.
The black shadow above the head was not fixed at the height of the flying.
Occasionally, it flies relatively low.
Li Xuan discovered that the size of this sea eagle seemed to be much smaller than that of an ordinary sea eagle, and it seemed that it was only the size of a normal hen.
"Can't it be the only eagle that took off?" Li Xuan murmured in his heart.
But neither.
It is very difficult to reproduce in the carvings. Generally, chicks do not grow into birds, and their relatives will not let them fly alone.
Therefore, even the eagle that has just been driven out of the nest by the kissed bird, its size is about the same size as that of a normal adult bird.
Li Xuan stared at the sky for a while, and couldn't figure it out.
Just then.
In the sky, the sea eagle might have circled above the fishing boat for a while. She really wanted to eat the fish on the boat, but it actually dived and rushed towards the fishing boat.
When Li Xuan saw it, he immediately became energetic and quickly stared at it with wide eyes.
I saw that the sea eagle, very agile, landed on the cabin, clutching the top of the cabin with both claws, and the majestic eagle head stretched out from the top of the cabin, looking down at the entire deck.
There was a searchlight at the top of the cabin. The sea eagle fell on the cabin, and Li Xuan could see the whole picture clearly.
"Hmm? Is this?" After Li Xuan saw the full picture of the sea eagle clearly, he was shocked and exclaimed: "Hai Dongqing!"
"What? What Hai Dongqing?" The crew member next to him immediately asked Li Xuan.
Li Xuan pointed to the top of the cabin and said, "That eagle seems to be a sea-dongqing."
Haidongqing, also known as the spear falcon, is a type of falcon. It is generally distributed in the Arctic and North America, and is also found in the vast areas of Asia. It is also found in my country, but it is generally in the northeast. In the south, it is said that someone has seen it and taken photos, but it has never been proven to be true.
The sea east is green and small and strong, and it flies very high. It is an important helper in hunting, able to attack swans and fight chickens and rabbits.
The authentic Haidongqing can be divided into autumn yellow, wave yellow, three-year dragon and jade claws, among which pure white jade claws are the most precious.
"Compendium of Materia Medica·Jiushi" records: "The most handsome one is called Haidongqing."
Haidongqing is a large raptor and has a strong weight.
Generally, female Haidongqing is larger than males.
However, the largest one in all Haidong Qingli discovered by humans is an eagle, weighing twelve kilograms, about one meter tall, and its wings spread more than two meters long.
Li Xuan looked up at the Haidongqing on the top of the cabin.
Hai Dongqing also lowered her head and looked at Li Xuan with her head. The feathers on its head were white and decorated with brown spots. The upper body was dark gray. The feathers on its chest were brown-red and also decorated with brown spots.
The tail was hiding at the top of the cabin and was blocked by the cabin. However, when it fell down before, Li Xuan saw it, it was pure white.
In addition, Li Xuan also found that Hai Dongqing had a thick and long mouth. The beak claws that were grabbed at the top of the cabin were like iron hooks, which looked very scary.
Chen Bin licked his lips and asked Li Xuan: "Brother Xuan, is there a way to catch this Hai Dongqing?"
Li Xuan shook his head. Without special tools, it was basically impossible to catch Hai Dongqing.
The green spaces in the east of the sea fly fast and high, and can catch swans, wild ducks, rabbits, roe roe and other animals.
In the Liao Dynasty, the emperor would set up a feast near the Yazi River every spring to catch swans. He caught the first swan and held a banquet to celebrate, called the "Head Goose Banquet".
Haidongqing is commonly found in the vast everglades near the seashore and rivers.
According to the "Khitan Kingdom Records": "The famous eagle is connected to the east of the five countries..."
This eagle refers to Haidongqing. It usually likes to live alone, and only young birds can fly with their relatives.
When Haidongqing resides, she likes to stay on rocks or ground, and sometimes stands on tree branches for a long time, eating small and medium-sized animals such as hares and rats. In summer and autumn, she often flies over the water and dives into the water to search for fish and shrimp.
In winter, Haidongqing cannot catch food and likes to prey on the village kittens and puppies and eat rotten corpse meat.
"Haidongqing predates like lightning. It is basically impossible for us to catch it. Moreover, it is a protective animal and cannot be caught." Li Xuan said.
"Oh, I can't catch it." Chen Bin said a little disappointed.
At this time, the Haidongqing might have discovered that Li Xuan was no longer threatening it, so it tentatively swooped downward towards the deck.
"Look, this Haidongqing is about to prey on the ground." Chen Bin exclaimed quickly.
Li Xuan nodded. In fact, he didn't need Chen Bin to remind him at all, and he had seen it long ago.
The sea Dongqing slammed Ling Ling, looking majestic, like a lightning bolt, instantly rushed from the top of the cabin to the deck position, and then grabbed a big fish with two claws, which was thicker than Li Xuan's arm, and was estimated to be at least five kilograms, and rushed towards the top of the cabin.
When Chen Bin saw it, he immediately felt so painful. He scolded loudly: "Damn, there are so many fish on the boat, I have to pick one of such a big one. Can I finish eating it?"
As a show of force, Chen Bin was going to drive away the Haidongqing.
Li Xuan smiled and patted Chen Bin on the shoulder and said, "Forget it, it's a not-so-value axe fish anyway. Hai Dongqing has a lot of appetite and has strong hunger resistance. He can't eat for half a month if he eats a full meal. Maybe it can really finish this axe fish at one time."
Chen Bin looked at Li Xuan and said unwillingly: "Brother Xuan, can't this bird be caught?"
Li Xuan nodded, "Not only can't be caught, but he really can't be caught."
Catching Haidongqing is actually a technical job.
Nowadays, the wild Haidongqing is already very rare.
During the Qing Dynasty, starting every October, the emperor would send people to both sides of the Songhua River to capture Haidongqing.
When capturing the sea in the east, first set up a "∏"-shaped bracket with three stones at the sunny side of the hillside, symbolizing the Golden Tower God's Nine Heavens. A rock is placed inside to represent the sacred mountain where the Eagle God lives. Then plant grass to make incense, and after celebrating with wine, you can set up a net to catch the eagle.
To capture the net of Haidongqing, it takes at least three meters long and one meter wide. A pigeon or dead chicken is tied to the net as bait. The eagle catcher hides in a shack disguised with branches and waits for the arrival of the eagle.
Sometimes, the eagle catcher has to squat for dozens of days, and is called the squat eagle.
The Haidong Youth Club circling from a high altitude Pan down to pounce on the bait.
Whenever he was arrested, the eagle hunter would like to thank the Eagle God Princess.
After capturing Haidongqing, the eagle hunter will immediately send Haidongqing to the Forbidden City for the emperor to enjoy.
Kangxi once praised Haidongqing and said, "There are 300 feather insects, and the most gods are the ones in Haidongqing."
