After the divorce, I became a mountain god

Seeing that Yan Shouyi and his gang had regained their spirits and vigor, Xu Bo'an felt a little relieved and left.

Now that he was here, Xu Bo'an naturally wanted to take a look at the situation in Kaoshan Village.

In Kaoshan Village, everything is going on in an orderly manner.

Thinking about training animal taming skills, Xu Boan once again focused his attention on Li Wufu and others in the forest.

After seeing this, I immediately became interested.

The child of Niu Twelve and Niu Lao San has actually made some progress in animal taming.

Xu Boan saw with his own eyes that these two guys, one driving the little squirrel and the other directing the little rabbit, were actually organizing a unique "rat and rabbit race"!
When Xu Boan paid attention to this, the game was already halfway through!
The little squirrel and the little rabbit walked side by side, mooing as hard as they could and running and jumping.

The children of Niu Twelve and Niu Lao San looked nervous. Each of them held a simple whistle that seemed to be made of poplar bark in their mouths, and from time to time they made whistles that were either gentle or anxious.

Li Wufu and others on the side were watching the game with a smile on their faces, as if they were used to this kind of whistle.

"Brothers, which of the two junior brothers do you think has a better chance of winning?"

"If you ask me, Junior Brother Niu Twelve is more capable! His little squirrel is also very clever, so he should win."

"If you ask me, Junior Brother should have a better chance of winning. Apart from anything else, the little rabbit has long legs and a long body. It is an innate advantage that the little squirrel can't compare to."

"It makes sense, I think so too."

"You're wrong. In my opinion, although the little squirrel has short legs, it can climb trees. This little guy takes advantage of the climbing ability to jump back and forth on the branches, saving a lot of unnecessary slopes."

"After your analysis, I think what you said makes sense. Junior Brother Niu Twelve should win. Moreover, I found that Junior Brother Niu's lung capacity is not as great as Junior Brother Niu Twelve's. His whistle is lighter and he is not good at communicating with his pet when the distance is a little farther."

Li Wufu coughed and said, "Okay, just focus on watching, don't make any noise, and don't disturb the two junior brothers!"

Everyone fell silent and continued to focus their attention on the game.

The race has entered the final stage.

On a flat ground, the little rabbit took advantage of its long body and legs and was far ahead.

In the next section of the woods, the little squirrel that was originally running at the back instantly climbed up a tree nearby after hearing a quick whistle.

In no time, it climbed up a towering tree, and then fully demonstrated its natural agility and speed, leaping lightly in the woods with its limbs, and nimbly moving between the trees, like a brown lightning cutting through the air.

Under the command of the whistle, it used its familiarity with the terrain to skillfully choose paths between branches, omitting the difficult and steep slopes of dirt and rocks underground. Each landing was just right, with almost no effort wasted.

Relying on the terrain advantage and skillful skills, the little squirrel finally caught up.

On the other side, the little rabbit saw the little squirrel approaching and was a little panicked at first.

After hearing a long whistle, he calmed down instantly and continued running steadily.

Although it runs a little slower underground, it maintains a brisk and powerful pace thanks to its excellent endurance and adjusted stable rhythm, and each push off the ground allows it to move forward a long distance.

As time went by, the finish line was in sight and the competition finally entered a white-hot stage.

After a clever series of jumps, the little squirrel temporarily took the lead, but the little rabbit did not give up. It gritted its teeth and tried its best to catch up.

The distance between the little squirrel and the little rabbit is getting closer and closer, and they are both trying their best.

Finally, after a tense sprint, the two little animals reached the finish line almost at the same time.

They all used up their last bit of strength and collapsed to the ground, but there was a gleam of victory in their eyes.

There are no real losers in this game, because both the little squirrel and the little rabbit have shown extraordinary courage and perseverance.

……

At this moment, Xu Boan suddenly discovered that not only the little squirrel and the little rabbit collapsed to the ground, but the children of Niu Twelve and Niu Laosan, who were standing by and nervously watching the changes on the field, were also panting and exhausted, and obviously very tired.

Almost at this moment, Xu Boan felt as if he had realized something.

Taming, taming, what is needed is the empathy between the trainer and the animal!
Although the animal trainer may not be able to communicate as easily as the telepathy between himself and the little hairy god, they can rely on special communication methods such as bamboo flutes, whistles, and bells to communicate with each other.

In short, achieve a relationship of mutual understanding and recognition.

Xu Boan suddenly felt that he seemed to understand the essence of this skill!
At this moment, Xu Boan felt the power of the incense and vows suddenly tremble.

This is... you can really use up the incense and vows to master the skill of taming animals.

Xu Boan made a prompt decision: to use up the power of incense and vows to master the skill of taming animals!

At this moment, Xu Bo'an only felt that four strands of his incense and vows were suddenly consumed, and then some more memories suddenly came to his mind.

As far as I can remember, he was a hunter.

Through years of experience, he mastered the ability to communicate with animals.

One day, he suddenly realized that he would face many difficulties if he relied solely on his own strength to walk in the mountains and forests.

Even he has been able to learn some conveniences by communicating with animals.

But as his identity as a hunter was frequently exposed, the animals all knew how dangerous he was.

Some animals in the forest even began to avoid him and spread the word to each other to avoid him.

This made him, a hunter who made a living by hunting, very distressed.

Suddenly one day, he saved a little bird that was almost killed by a fox.

Then, with the help of the bird, he successfully found the homes of several animals.

He suddenly realized that it would be much more convenient if he could get sincere help from animals.

At first, he clumsily tried to approach those docile animals. Every failure made him understand more deeply that animal taming is not only a contest of strength, but also a test of wisdom and patience.

Through constant observation, learning and practice, he gradually learned how to build trust with animals in a gentle and non-coercive way.

From being unfamiliar at first to becoming proficient later, every successful taming made him more convinced that a true animal tamer communicates with the mind rather than conquering with force.

In this way, after countless attempts and trials, the hunter finally mastered some simple animal taming skills. He could drive a bird to help him deliver a letter, and he could let a squirrel show him the way, but he was still a little powerless for those larger animals.

……

Xu Bo'an quickly digested this memory and mastered these skills.

Then, Xu Boan smiled bitterly twice.

A lot of incense and vows were consumed this time, a total of four strands, which was the same as the consumption of the second-level stage of the skill of communicating with animals last time.

However, Xu Boan found that this basic animal taming skill seemed a bit useless to him.

He can communicate with animals freely, so whether he can drive animals to work for him is also very easy to do.

Anyway, we can already communicate, so the worst that can happen is coercion or inducement.

Apart from anything else, many people know how to tie a carrot in front of a donkey!
The animal taming skills at this elementary stage are really not enough.

Continue to comprehend deeper levels of animal taming skills!
After Xu Boan felt the fluctuation of the power of incense and vows again, he quickly chose to consume the power of incense and vows.

In an instant, eight strands of incense and vows were consumed.

New fragments emerged again in Xu Bo'an's memory.

The hunter's animal taming skills were unfamiliar and clumsy at first. Faced with the wild and unruly creatures, every attempt seemed so powerless.

But he did not give up. Instead, he began to observe the animals' behavioral habits more deeply, trying to understand their language and emotions.

The hunter's animal taming skills have become much more proficient in day-to-day practice, but he is not satisfied with this. He knows very well that a true animal tamer must not only be able to tame wild beasts, but also be able to communicate with them and achieve an extraordinary tacit understanding.

So the hunter began to explore the art of animal taming more deeply. He constantly challenged himself and tried to tame the more ferocious and difficult to approach beasts.

In the process, he gradually discovered that animal taming is not only a skill, but also an art, an art that requires one to feel and comprehend with one's heart.

He began to approach them in a gentle way, no longer conquering with force, but communicating with the heart. Every failure made him more determined to walk on this path, and he constantly learned from his mistakes and constantly adjusted his methods.

Eventually, he learned how to listen to their voices, understand their emotions, and even sense the subtle changes in their hearts, making his animal training more natural and harmonious.

He learned to be patient, not to rush things, but to slowly build trust with the animals.

As time went on, the hunter's animal training skills gradually became proficient. He was able to easily establish a deep emotional connection with the animals, and they were willing to obey his commands. He learned how to convey his wishes with the simplest gestures and commands, so that the animals understood his expectations.

A profound understanding that goes beyond words, just a glance or a gesture is all it takes to make them understand his intentions.

Soon, the hunter discovered that he could survive on more than just hunting.

The hunter suddenly discovered that his close communication with animals could also bring him wealth.

Hunters began to try to take some animals out to the market to perform animal training acrobatics!

His animal taming performances became a great spectacle in the surrounding area. People came to watch and marveled at the tacit understanding and harmony between him and the wild animals.

Eventually, the hunter became a true legend in animal taming. His name and story have been passed down through the ages in history, becoming a role model for future generations to learn from and admire.

……

After recalling this memory as if he were watching TV, Xu Bo'an was overjoyed.

This is quite interesting. Being able to make animals cooperate with you in performing acrobatics is definitely the end of complete domestication.

With such ability, you will no longer be afraid of the vast world and the numerous animals.

A satisfied smile appeared on Xu Bo'an's lips. The energy spent on burning incense and making vows these two times was worth it!

The ability to tame animals not only fulfills one's childhood dreams, but is also a very useful golden finger in real life.

Xu Bo'an once read a novel plot about a man who could command ants. After buying a new car, he didn't know how to park it. He decisively chose to summon thousands of ants, which helped him to do a 360-degree turn and park his car by pressing on his tires!
Although this is just a trivial matter, it can be used as an example to illustrate that if you can command all kinds of animals in the real world, it will definitely be a golden finger skill that is closely related to people's lives!

Xu Boyan was happily thinking about how to try out his new skills, when suddenly he heard Li Wufu beginning to give a review with a smile.

"Well, in this competition, Niu Twelve and Niu Xiaosan, you two are evenly matched. Congratulations, you have already mastered the essence of animal taming. As long as you practice more in the future, your future achievements will definitely not be inferior to mine!"

Niu Twelve and Niu Xiaosan knelt down on both knees and thanked Li Wufu.

Xu Boan couldn't bear it any longer after hearing what he heard.

Niu Xiaosan!
What kind of name is this? It's really awkward.

Moreover, this person is Yan Shouyi's future benefactor, who will have great potential in the future. To do great things with such a name is really not loud enough.

Xu Boan was in a good mood because he had mastered a new skill, so he asked kindly, "Um, Niu Xiaosan, who gave you this name, and why did you call it this?"

Niu Xiaosan was startled, and then he heard Li Wufu remind him: "Xiaosan, hurry up, this is the mountain god, the mountain god is asking you a question!"

Niu Xiaosan knelt on the ground hurriedly and said, "In reply to Grandpa Mountain God, this name was given to me by my father. Since my father's name is Lao San, I can only be called Xiao San."

Xu Boan burst out laughing when he heard this. Wow, that makes a lot of sense, there's nothing wrong with it.

But the name is really...

Xu Bo'an thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll give you a name."

Niu Xiaosan's eyes widened immediately and he asked in disbelief: "Ah! Grandpa Mountain God, is this true?"

Xu Bo'an did not explain too much, but said directly: "From now on, you will be called Niu Junfeng."

"Niu Junfeng!" Niu Xiaosan muttered.

Xu Boan explained: "That's right. The word 'Jun' means tall and strong, which is consistent with your current image of being lean but masculine; the word 'Feng' symbolizes sharpness and charging ahead, implying that he will be like a sharp blade, moving forward courageously and fearlessly."

Niu Xiaosan was very excited and said, "Okay, okay! I will be called Niu Junfeng! Thank you, Grandpa Mountain God, for giving me this name."

No one present expected this.

In the near future, this name will be known throughout the Great Jing Dynasty! (End of this chapter)
