Chapter 120 Convenient Animal Language, Golden Dew and Strange Fragrance
Yun Xiaomei's technique for treating the baby elephant was very fast. It was probably because she had used the mountains and fields of Gongshan as her backyard for many years and had been with those wild animals day and night, so she had a thorough understanding of the habits of these herbs and animals.
But Chen Jue was a little curious, why couldn't she persuade two adult wild elephants with her natural tiger communication ability?
At this time, the two elephants that were thrown into the river by Chen Jue were already covered in wet river water. They slowly crawled out of the river, making continuous elephant calls from their mouths.
At this moment, Yun Xiaomei had already torn off half of the white cloth that was used to pad the backpack, and quickly tied it around the wound of the baby elephant that had been smeared with herbs. Then she turned around and stood on the bulge in the ravine, and shouted a few times at the two elephants that were running towards her.
Probably because of the physical cooling effect of being soaked in the cold river water, the two irritable wild elephants gradually slowed down their pace after hearing Yun Xiaomei's voice, and then cried twice, as if they had entered into some special communication.
After Yun Xiaomei stopped talking, he wiped the sweat off his forehead and turned to Chen Jue, who was on full alert, and said, "Brother Chen Jue, they won't make trouble anymore. I've already calmed them down!"
Chen Jue nodded upon hearing that, and his mind relaxed. He opened his mouth and exhaled. A visible white air wave rolled out of his mouth, forming a white air arrow, which flew several meters away before dissipating. At this moment, the closed pores all over his body also relaxed, releasing the strength he had been holding.
The next second, sweat spurted out of his body, and the white steam waves evaporated the cool mountains and forests around him, rapidly heating them up.
The two bursts of throwing the elephants into the river just now consumed a lot of physical strength. If it weren't for Chen Jue's strength attribute reaching 3.06, and his physical attribute increasing to 3.40, combined with the superposition of light and dark forces, which made his body's explosive power reach an incredible level, plus the use of Tai Chi's technique of using a little force to move a great object, taking advantage of the momentum of the wild elephants' collision, otherwise he would not have been able to throw away these two adult wild elephants weighing 2 or 3 tons.
With Chen Jue's current strength attribute of 3.06, it is easy for him to deadlift the pair of 200kg dumbbells at home with one hand.
However, this adult Asian elephant weighs about 3 tons, and even if Chen Jue is very powerful, it is difficult to lift it by brute force. Unless his strength attribute can be increased by 2 points to more than 5, there is a slight possibility that he can lift the elephant by brute force without relying on boxing skills.
You should know that the historical allusion of "throwing the elephant" comes from the story in the Records of the Western Regions compiled by Xuanzang of the Tang Dynasty after his travels to the countries in the Western Regions.
It is said that before Sakyamuni became a Buddha, he was a prince and was worshiping Buddha. He encountered a giant elephant blocking the road. He picked up the elephant's trunk and threw it out. The elephant fell to the ground in a pit after three days. This is how the story of "Sakya Throwing the Elephant" came about.
However, there are many exaggerated elements in the story of "Shakyamuni Throwing the Elephant", which is intended to publicize the incredible things about Buddhism.
Chen would never dare to draw a conclusion easily as to whether the historical Sakyamuni had the power to throw an elephant, because it was impossible for him to travel through time and space back to that era to communicate and discuss Buddhism with the Buddha.
But the little sister Yun beside him was born as sacred as Sakyamuni. The forty teeth in her mouth were as smooth as snow, and her bones were so strong that they were rarely seen in the world.
Yun Xiaomei relied on her ability to learn from nature and taught herself the Xingyi boxing forms. In addition, she was born kind and made friends with the wild beasts in the mountains and forests. She was so magical that if she lived in ancient times, she would definitely be a wonderful woman who was worshipped like a living Bodhisattva.
But even such a remarkable woman who could be called a living Bodhisattva, when they met just now, still did not dare to easily control the two violent adult wild elephants, and had to use her ape-like body movements to retreat three feet.
By comparing them in this way, one can understand how terrifying the "elephant throwing" skill that Chen Jue had previously demonstrated was!
…
Seeing the two adult wild elephants being pacified, Chen Jue sat down in the haystack after he had relieved his strength. He began to move his Qi and blood, using the small and large circulations to calm the heat in his body.
The explosion of throwing the elephant just now was the greatest power he could exert since he started practicing.
Moreover, relying on his hard training, he took the blow from the female elephant. Although he was not injured, he had overexerted himself, causing the blood in his body to rush. He could not get rid of this restlessness by relying on the skill of closing the pores with Ming Jin, and could only rely on the Taoist inner alchemy to regulate his body.
As for Yun Xiaomei, after pacifying the two wild elephants, she checked the wounds of the baby elephant, and seeing that there was no more bleeding, she helped up the wailing baby elephant, whispered something in its ear, and took the baby elephant down the ravine more than 3 meters high to reunite with its parents.
After a while, Chen Jue finished his conditioning and opened his eyes. He saw Yun Xiaomei watching him practice with admiration in her eyes.
Seeing Chen Jue wake up, Yun Xiaomei's face blushed slightly, and she explained why she didn't pacify the two adult wild elephants immediately.
It turns out that this family of three wild elephants are not regular visitors to the habitat in the nearby mountains and forests, but migrated from outside the border.
Yun Xiaomei had never been seen before, and she had the ability to communicate with animals. In addition, the baby elephant was unfamiliar with the terrain and was naughty. When crossing the ravine, one of the baby elephants accidentally stepped on a sharp branch. The two wild elephants thought that Yun Xiaomei was approaching to hurt the baby elephant, which caused misunderstanding and rampage.
A wild elephant going berserk is a very dangerous thing. Ordinary people would try to avoid it if they encountered one. Only extraordinary people like Chen Jue and Yun Xiaomei would dare to intervene in such a dangerous situation.
"It's good that the misunderstanding is cleared up!"
"By the way, I saw you bandaging the baby elephant's leg just now. Aren't you afraid that the cloth strip will tighten its skin and flesh in the future?" Chen Jue's thoughts turned, and he remembered the miserable scenes of whales, seals, turtles, etc. entangled in human fishing lines and fishing nets that he had seen on the Internet before, and he couldn't help asking.
"No, I just told them not to run too far. Wait until the baby elephant's wound heals and the pain is gone, then let them come here to find me. I will then give it a check-up and take out the strip of cloth!" Little Sister Yun narrowed her eyes into crescents, feeling that she was finally better than the powerful big brother in front of her in some aspects.
Although Chen Jue's physical strength and explosive power are comparable to Superman, he cannot communicate with animals in animal language. The most he can do is rely on the innate aura emanating from his body to get close to animals.
"I see... It seems that knowing a foreign language can really save you a lot of trouble these days." Chen Jue couldn't help but sigh after hearing this. He was indeed a natural born mountain king. The ability to communicate with animals was so convenient and practical in such a primitive jungle.
Unfortunately, Chen Jue had no talent for learning foreign languages since childhood. He felt that being able to learn the Wen City dialect, which was known as the devil's language, had already exhausted his language talent, not to mention learning this animal language which he had no idea where to start. Unless he raised his intelligence to an extremely high value, perhaps he would be able to discuss the mystery of the animal language with Yun Xiaomei.
…
After chatting with Yun Xiaomei for a while, seeing that it was almost noon, the two of them went to a cleaner riverside shallows to sit down and have lunch.
Chen Jue picked up the backpack that he had thrown into the haystack and took out compressed biscuits and energy drinks.
Yun Xiaomei's backpack was like a treasure chest. In addition to a stainless steel lunch box filled with fried barley noodles, there was another lunch box containing dried meat, grilled potatoes, and grilled fish.
In comparison, Chen Jue’s meals are the same as those of ascetic monks, while Yun Xiaomei is the one who truly understands life in the mountains.
"These are all prepared for me by my mother-in-law!"
"By the way, Brother Chen Jue, you said yesterday that you wanted to pair it with the Golden Dew, and my mother-in-law asked me to bring a bottle of spare stock from home, intending to let you try it."
"If this bottle doesn't work, I'll have to refund the remaining money you spent on the medicine." Looking at Chen Jue who was chewing on a biscuit and staring at his lunch box with a foodie look in his eyes, Yun Xiaomei smiled slightly and took out a bamboo tube wrapped in golden cloth from the backpack and handed it to Chen Jue.
Chen Jue was also stunned. He thought that he would have to wait a month before he could use the golden dew. He did not expect Yun Xiaomei to be so considerate! He hurriedly took the bamboo tube, opened it and smelled it. A strong herbal fragrance filled his nose.
Just by smelling it, Chen Jue knew that this golden dew was not simple, because the calm qi and blood in his body slightly fluctuated just now, and a strange fragrance lingered in his lungs, mouth and nose, and even his mind became much clearer.
Just like the ancient monks who chanted scriptures and meditated, they would light a stick of sandalwood in the quiet room to calm their minds and help them meditate faster. The scent of the golden dew in the bamboo tube is even stronger than that of the finest old mountain sandalwood!
