Reborn in the 1980s: I made my fortune hunting wild game in Changbai Mountain

The arrival of Mr. Wang brought the exhibition to its first mini-climax.

A person's reputation is like a tree's shadow; a license plate doesn't lie, and neither do the standards of a motorcade.

Apart from the two foreign guests, everyone present was a prominent figure in Beijing's social circle, so they naturally knew who was sitting in the car.

Immediately, everyone stopped talking and made way for the main passageway to watch.

Ye Jianjun put aside everything he was doing and led Jinlong to greet them.

"Xiaofeng, come with me and let's greet the old man!"

"it is good!"

Yue Feng responded and followed along.

Soon, the back seat of the Hongqi car opened, and the old man got out of the car with a formal smile on his face.

"I didn't expect things to be so lively here! Very good!!" the old man said.

Ye Jianjun said with a smile, "Hehe, sir, with your arrival, the level of our exhibition will rise by at least three levels. Welcome, welcome! Please come in!"

"Hello, Uncle Wang!" Zhang Chaochao also shamelessly came over to greet him.

"Oh, it's Chaochao! Come over for dinner sometime!" the old man replied kindly.

Yue Feng didn't call him "godfather" but silently reached out to lead the way. The old man glanced at Yue Feng and nodded gently at him.

The group quickly entered through the main gate and then arrived at a spot next to the small stage for the opening ceremony.

There is a separate VIP area here, which is used to receive the old man.

After all, at his level, there are certain requirements for his travel security and so on.

Ye Jianjun and his two brothers led the old man into the VIP area, where several of the most senior young men sat down with him.

"Sir, when it's time for the opening ceremony later, would you like to go on stage and say a few words?" Ye Jianjun asked politely.

The old man shook his head: "No need for me to speak. I don't understand the intricacies of this matter, so I won't give unsolicited advice to an expert!"
I have other things to do later, so I'll just take a short detour to check in, make a quick appearance, and then leave!
Xiaofeng, how's it going? Learn a lot from your brother Jianjun and the others!

Yue Feng said, "I feel pretty good about my godfather. I know most of the familiar faces and friends! My brother Jun takes good care of me!"

"I just saw some foreign guests visiting over there at the entrance?" the old man continued to ask.

"Yes, he's a friend of Brother Chao. He just happened to be here for our exhibition, so he came to have some fun and chat!"

"They've come all this way, so as the hosts, we should take good care of them and not leave them hanging! You all go and get back to your business, I'm leaving now!"

"We won't stay any longer. The opening ceremony will start in ten minutes!" Ye Jianjun advised tactfully.

The old man waved his hand: "No, I'll only make you feel more relaxed with me here! We're all family, there's no need for so many rules! You young people have fun, just remember to stay united!"

"Okay, then I'll take you there!"

It was a very brief encounter; the conversation lasted less than five minutes.

The old man quickly got up, and then, surrounded by people, left the VIP lounge, returned the way he came, and got into his private car.

Soon, the three cars honked their horns, turned around, and drove away, disappearing around the corner of the intersection.

Although the old man only made a brief appearance, in the eyes of those who were interested, the symbolic meaning was quite important.

Those unaware of the inside story might think the old man came to support the Ye family. The fact that the Wang family and the Ye family are on good terms is itself something to ponder.

Those who knew the inside story became even more respectful towards Yue Feng.

The fact that the old man could show his face at the club is a huge honor for the exhibition; people are doing it because of Yue Feng, his godson.

The Wang family has strict rules, and even Wang Hu was clearly arranged by the old man to be trained in a difficult place.

The godson who was favored by the old man was definitely no ordinary person.

The Americans and the white-robed foreign guests witnessed the arrival of the Red Flag car, which then drove away shortly afterward.

Zhang Chaochao, who was standing next to Evan, asked curiously, "Who was that important person you respected so much just now? Was he invited to the exhibition?"

Zhang Chaochao smiled slightly and pointed to Yue Feng not far away: "He is indeed a real big shot. In addition, he has another identity. He is Xiao Feng's godfather!"

Upon hearing this, Evan, who had recently joked about inviting Yue Feng's father to participate, instantly changed his expression and the way he looked at Yue Feng.

"You Chinese are quite interesting. You never mention your family background when you introduce yourself. Maybe I made an inappropriate joke just now!" Evan couldn't help but exclaim.

"That's not quite right. Yue Feng's eagle training skills are top-notch, among the best in the country."

"I just don't know if we can satisfy Salman in actual combat after the opening ceremony and all those rituals!" Zhang Chaochao commented very aptly.

Compared to the Americans' changing attitude, the man in the white coat remained quite calm.

He smiled and shook his head: "Even if his father is a big shot, I still think there's something wrong with the content of the documentary!"
Later, I'm going to give you a good challenge and see what you, my Chinese friend, are really capable of!

"Haha, of course! The club warmly welcomes exchanges and competitions!"

After chatting and discussing for a while, the agreed-upon time arrived.

The makeshift loudspeaker began to emit static, and soon Ye Jianjun, as the club's manager, took the stage to give a speech.

"Distinguished guests, welcome to the exhibition. On behalf of all the staff of the club, I would like to extend my sincere greetings to you!"
Falconry is a cultural treasure of China, with a history of thousands of years…

Ye Jianjun delivered a very appropriate speech without notes.

After the speech, thunderous applause erupted from the audience.

After the speeches, the exhibition officially began.

Ye Jianjun, as the guide of the exhibition, walked at the front throughout the entire event. The passages of different sections opened one by one, and the attendees began to follow behind, visiting the various functional areas that had been set up.

Ye Jianjun and his team have put in a lot of effort to make today's exhibition a success.

The old-fashioned traditional falconry equipment exhibition hall covers falconry equipment used in various periods in China, such as common falconry supplies like foot loops, five-foot rods, spinning rings, feeding ladles, and bells. All of these are authentic and well-preserved antique items.

These tools are divided into regional categories according to different schools and eras. To an expert, one can even discern the evolution and development of falconry equipment from these artifacts. Ye Jianjun spoke eloquently, able to recount the origin and story of each item, clearly demonstrating that he had done his homework.

Most of the people who came to the exhibition were knowledgeable collectors, and everyone was very interested in seeing so many great items that hadn't been shown before.

People frequently raised their hands to ask professional questions about the relevant era, style, and design, but Ye Jianjun was not intimidated at all and spoke fluently.

After visiting the falconry equipment hall, Ye Jianjun led everyone to the live wild birds of prey section, starting from the second section.

This is the place that Yue Feng, Jin Long, Ye Xiaojun and the others spent a long time preparing in Yingtun.

In the live raptors section, you can find all kinds of common raptors used for hunting, in various colors, qualities, and sizes. Basically, everything you can find on the market is here.

The wild-caught grey gyrfalcon, in particular, attracted the attention of many enthusiasts in China.

Things are valued for their rarity. We can see other big eagles, rabbits, tigers and the like, but this wild-caught gray gyrfalcon is truly rare.

The American and the man in the white robe quickly developed a strong interest in the gray gyrfalcon.

“Zhang! This gyrfalcon doesn’t have leg bands; it’s a wild-caught subadult grey gyrfalcon! This subspecies is very rare!” the American said quietly through the translator.

Zhang Chaochao was also mesmerized by the Grey Gryphon. He looked at the American and said, "Evan, shouldn't you have better ones back home? Why do I feel that you seem very pleased to see this beautiful eagle?"

Evan smiled and nodded: "Subadult breeding eagles with independent wild bloodlines and excellent appearance are what every breeding farm dreams of!"
It represents entirely new genes and more possibilities!
If used properly, it can expand the existing breeding lineage many times over!
In other words, this is a goose that lays golden eggs!

I even wanted to ask, "Such a beautiful girl, could you bear to part with her? I'm willing to offer a price no one could refuse!"

The man in the white robe beside him nodded in agreement: "Evan makes a lot of sense! If this Grey Gryphon is for sale, I'd like to try my luck and participate in the bidding!"
Based on my decades of experience, I can preliminarily judge that its skeletal structure and proportions are excellent, and its size and plumage also indicate that it is a relatively rare and valuable falcon!

The two foreign guests' words really gave Zhang Chaochao a bit of an idea.

He leaned closer to Jinlong and whispered, "Young Master Jin, can I ask you something?"

"Hmm? Brother Chao, just say what you need to say. We don't need to beat around the bush!" Jinlong said in a very straightforward manner.

"Can I sell this Grey Gryphon after the exhibition? I can offer you a price that satisfies you!"

Upon hearing this, Jinlong, who knew the inside story, felt a slight stirring in his heart.

This grey gyrfalcon seems fine in every way, but it's a lunatic in terms of personality. Its only use in human hands is as a decorative vase, kept until it dies.

As for actual combat or reproduction, Yue Feng had already concluded that this thing was unusable.

“I really can’t say for sure about this! Otherwise, you can ask Xiaofeng and Jianjun later!”

Xiao Feng caught this falcon himself. He almost broke his ribs trying to catch it and had to stay in the hospital for a long time to recover!

Zhang Chaochao nodded: "Okay, I'll ask about it later!"

Then, Zhang Chaochao turned to his two foreign companions and said, "This gray spear was caught by Yue Feng himself. I'll ask him later if he's willing to give it up!"

"Really? He can catch eagles too?" The man in the white robe seemed quite surprised when he heard this.

"Of course! Our crew filmed the footage of this gray spear being caught in the net, and post-production isn't finished yet!" Jinlong leaned closer and said calmly.

“Then he must be a lucky guy! This kind of pure gray gyrfalcon without any other colors is extremely rare, even in Iceland!” Evan said with great erudition and certainty.

Earlier, Ye Jianjun's introduction had reached the final golden eagle and the Steller's sea eagle.

In terms of size and appearance, these two big babies are very eye-catching. Everyone stared at them, and some mischievous people even secretly took a few photos.

Meanwhile, the foreign guests and Zhang Chaochao and the others in the audience had completely lost interest, their attention drawn entirely to the gray gyrfalcon.

Soon, the tour group left the live poultry area and headed to the next venue.

This is the club's practice arena, and the two Lis were already prepared and waiting here.

Ye Jianjun walked over, exchanged a few words with the staff, and then shouted at the top of his lungs, "Next, we'll be performing an Eagle God War Dance by the authentic Manchu eagle hunting culture inheritors from Yingtun! Please keep quiet and give them a warm welcome!"

Sparse applause broke out; no one seemed particularly interested in this so-called war dance.

But the next second, after a few soft clattering sounds of a sheepskin shaman's hand drum in the tent rest area, a man dressed in 'festival attire' walked out from behind.

Li Guangkun, dressed in his full regalia, had his face completely obscured. He wore an ancestral prayer robe and a mask made of feathers and leather, exuding a sense of tradition, desolation, and wildness.

ei～～～

Li Guangkun emitted a low growl similar to throat singing as he entered the stage, striking his hand drum as he walked. With just his entrance, the audience was awestruck by his professional demeanor.

The dance steps, rhythm, and low growls in his throat worked together seamlessly. Even though not a single word could be understood, everyone could sense some complex emotions that were difficult to express in his performance.

As the performance progressed, the pace quickened, the tone became more urgent, and the frequency of the hand drum swings changed.

Li Guangkun was completely immersed in the emotions of that war dance, and the audience relaxed and tensed up at times as he moved and danced.

After a full ritual lasting more than ten minutes, with a final low roar, all the feathers on Li Guangkun's mask suddenly unfurled.

Everyone felt a blur before their eyes, and then a clear eagle's cry rang out from around them, soaring into the sky and echoing for a long time.

Old Li's move completely stunned all the audience.

You can practice steps and rhythm, but the final 'peacock spreading its tail' and eagle's cry in the sky clearly have a supernatural feel to them.

No one knows exactly how they did it, but the appearance of these two details convinced everyone that this was no ordinary war dance performance.

The two foreigners standing next to Zhang Chaochao had the same reaction after watching the entire Manchu Eagle God War Dance.

His eyes were wide open, his face full of disbelief. Not long ago, he had shown a disdainful attitude towards those relatively ordinary birds of prey, but he had completely disappeared.

Ye Jianjun was also witnessing Li Guangkun's family tradition ceremony for the first time. He was on the first floor, the closest to the ceremony.

The moment the eagle's cry rang out, Ye Jianjun felt his scalp tingle.

Just then, Yue Feng tugged at the hem of Ye Jianjun's clothes from behind, waking him from his daze.

Ye Jianjun glanced at his hand and said, "I believe everyone loves the traditional Manchu Eagle God Sacrifice War Dance. Now, let's have another wonderful performance!"
Please move to the area outside the marked lines to enjoy the imperial rabbit and tiger enclosure! (End of Chapter)
