More than half a month has passed, and nothing has happened. It is estimated that the wizard has wandered off to nowhere.
During this period, in fact, except for Du Yueyao who moved into the Liu family, the pace of life of everyone did not change much.
Shen Ying did not live permanently in Tonglin County. He only stayed with a few peach blossom goddesses, and then returned to Taohuaping, but the frequency of coming was higher than before.
As for Lu Zheng, of course he will continue to practice... and continue to practice hard.
After all, cultivation can break everything.
When your cultivation level is high enough and your spiritual thoughts can move thousands of miles away, even if the wizard of the Yuan Sheng Sect is hiding at the edge of thousands of miles away, you can see through it at a glance and kill him, do you still need to go to such trouble? ?
So...
"Just listen to Luo Hongyi's sad and moaning singing, and the most beautiful girl can't keep it, just like the river flowing away... "
"Well said!"
"I hate that yellow scholar for being so heartless. If I marry Miss Luo, I will not let the girl in red stay alone in the empty room, feeling miserable and miserable!"
"Reward!"
The boss of Lepinglou still has a few brushes. The newly hired storyteller can often come up with new stories, some short stories and some long stories. Not bad.
Because ancient times had abundant spiritual energy, the cultivation speed and cooling speed in ancient times were still faster than in modern times, so Lu Zheng still spent most of his time here in ancient times.
Listening and listening to books is one of his recreational activities here.
"Reward!"
Mr. Lu Ge You was paralyzed, raised his hand and generously summoned the waiter, and scattered a handful of copper coins on the wooden plate.
“Thank you Mr. Lu for the reward!”
One of the waiters thanked him loudly, and the other waiter poured tea for Lu Zheng with a wink.
The storyteller on the stage held up his hands and bowed specifically to Lu Zheng. Then he clapped his hands and started telling another story.
It was noon, Lu Zheng slowly came out of Leping Building, and saw a circle not far away, where a cockfight was taking place.
Shaked his head, as a peace lover who had never killed a chicken, Lu Zheng had never watched such a bloody game, so he did not go in to watch, but passed by and left.
But just as I turned around, I felt a breath disappear in the crowd.
“Okay!”
“Hey! Why did you lose again!”
“This is so redGeneral Tianda is so awesome, he has won three games in a row! ”
“Haha, give in, give in! "
"Li Laosi, just wait, I will go to the town to watch the chickens today, and we will continue tomorrow! "
"I'm waiting! "A voice laughed and said, "That's it for today. I've won enough today. I'm going home with the general. "
Then Lu Zheng saw a man holding a big rooster squeeze out of the crowd, carrying a bag of money, and heading to the west of the city proudly.
In the crowd, because the idle man left, two more families came on stage with fighting cocks. The banker shouted to open the market, and the crowd of onlookers also started placing bets at thirty or fifty.
Lu Zheng and He didn't squeeze into the crowd, but looked at Li Laosi with twinkling eyes, and then followed slowly.
Walked all the way through South Street, entered the west side of the city, and bypassed two alleys.
/>
Li Laosi looked back a few times, but of course he couldn't see Lu Zheng, who had already disappeared.
"Quickly count, how much did you earn today? "
When we came to a dilapidated yard, the person who spoke was not Li Laosi, but the big rooster who had won three games in a row.
"Don't worry, don't worry. Hurry, let me count. "
" Li Laosi put down the big rooster, spread the money bag on the table, and a pile of copper coins spilled out of the pocket.
"Won three games, won The chicken owner on the opposite side earned 100 yuan per person, plus the dealer's bonus. The first game was more than 300 yuan, the second game was much less, and the third game made another 200 yuan, a total of 910 yuan. Seventeen dollars. "
"Is it enough to buy me century-old ginseng and century-old Ganoderma lucidum? "The big rooster asked.
"Of course... it's not enough! "
" Li Laosi's eyes turned red when he looked at the amount of copper coins in front of him. He had never had so much money!
"With this With the money, I can go to Chunfeng Tower to stay for one night..."
The big rooster flapped its wings, "How much money can I buy for the elixir? ”
“You have to do it no matter what, right? "Li Laosi said.
"That means we still have to fight for ten days? "
"It's difficult, you are so powerful, maybe no one will fight you in a few days! "
"What should we do? "
" "Don't be in a hurry, fight first, and hold back your strength. Don't win too easily." "
"I know, I even let those weak chickens peck out a few of my feathers. ”
"Okay, okay!" Li Laosi comforted the big rooster, "When you win for a few more days, Wang Yuanwai, the county's favorite cockfighter, will definitely hear about it. He has a chicken farm with hundreds of cockfighters. , then it depends on whether we can enjoy spicy food and drink spicy food."
As Li Laosi said, he scooped a large spoonful of yellow rice from the rice vat and poured it on A clay bowl was placed on the ground.
The big rooster flapped its wings and jumped over to eat rice on the ground.
"Win a few games in a row, win some money first, and then Mr. Wang will definitely pay for you. No matter what, you will get fifty or sixty yuan, and then I will sell you to him. , wait until night, you will sneak out, and we will take the money and fly away to the next county to buy you the elixir!"
"Giggle, okay!"
Lu Zheng, "..."
I thought I had discovered something, but I didn't expect it to be a story about an unexpectedly enlightened monster who teamed up with humans to win money.
As for the strength of this big rooster...
It can only beat other big roosters. It is estimated that even ordinary people cannot beat it. If it pinches the neck, it will die. , far worse than Hou Ping's back then.
I don’t know how the two of them met. This is much more interesting than hearing about books. Lu Zheng became interested and prepared to follow up and observe.
So...
The next morning, Lu Zheng came to the previous street cockfighting ring.
Sure enough, Li Laosi and the big rooster had arrived and were fighting another majestic-looking rooster on the field.
Three games in a row, winning every game.
It’s just that compared to what I got yesterday, I only won 500 yuan today.
There is no way, if you win too many games, even the dealer won’t be able to extract much money, let alone their dividends.
On the way back, Lu Zheng also figured out how they met.
Li Laosi is a lonely man who has enough to eat and the whole family is not hungry. His only property is a small courtyard in a slum in the west of the city. He makes a living by gambling all day long. After a meal, when I ran out of money, I went to catch crickets and pheasants in the woods outside the city to gamble.
A few days ago, he lost everything and went to try his luck in the woods outside the city. As a result, he happened to meet a big rooster poking his head at the edge of the woods.
As for this big rooster, I don’t know if it awakened its bloodline or ate some genius treasure. Anyway, it has opened up its spiritual wisdom, but its own strength has not kept up with it.
There are too many dangers in the forest, let alone tigers and leopards.Bobcats and foxes can eat it for lunch.
So it decided to try its luck in the county where mortals live. Even if it hides and practices slowly as a pheasant, it is better than living precariously in the forest.
So, the two of them, no, they hit it off immediately.
Cockfighting! make money!
Li Laosi seemed to see the most beautiful girl in Chunfeng Tower smiling at him.
The big rooster also seemed to see himself fluttering high and making a blockbuster scene.
Then, under the suggestion of Li Laosi, who is familiar with the cockfighting industry, they decided to fight cockfighting to increase their reputation and win money from Mr. Wang twice.
When the time comes, with more than a hundred guns in hand, they can leave Tonglin County with peace of mind and continue in other counties.
……
Sure enough, no one doubted that the big rooster was a demon with spiritual intelligence. They thought that Li Laosi was just unlucky and unintentionally Found a particularly powerful fighting cock.
Everything went according to their plan. On the fourth day, they were invited away by two people who looked like servants of a rich family.
