Forty-three, nepotism

The white and tender monk wanted to step on the red-feathered chicken with his feet, and his big sleeves floated outside the fence. His cloth slipped over the feathers and stood on the ground. He smiled and bowed to the three thousand chicken friends present, and said loudly: "Amitabha, the little monk wanted to win the top of the chicken competition today. He didn't take any money to get it. He scattered all the money he won in Pujiyuan. Haha, it's great to achieve Bodhi by fighting cocks."

"Use cockfighting to attain Bodhi!" Fairy Jingyi in the tent couldn't help laughing.

Lin Hanyun heard the conversation between Zhou Xuan and the Si Ni, pulled Zhou Xuan's sleeves and asked with his ears: "Is this monk a five idiot?"

Zhou Xuan said she could not speak out and said, "It's an interesting monk. After the cockfighting is over, please go to our residence to speak. It may not be possible to say everything. It's certain that the chickens dance around."

Lin Hanyun laughed. She has been dating Sanni and Sini, and is no longer afraid that they were once Ranger killers.

"General Chicken" Xue Chang and his huge cock stood by the gate without moving, as if they were stunned. When they heard a gong, the fence door opened, Xue Chang gave way to the side. The big black cock behind him lowered his chicken head and walked into the cockfighting field with a small step, looking imposing.

In contrast, Monk Ikong's chicken, with its cocks-comb, stalking with its head held high, and stood in the field, showing its domineering aura.

Monk Xiangkong is a chicken of Annan. Its feathers are compact and bright, and it shines with luxurious brilliance like armor. It has a golden beak and iron claws. It is known for its good combat skills and is nicknamed "Double Ji Dianwei".

Since the crickets in the Tang Dynasty all called the powerful generals of the Three Kingdoms, how could they be named mediocre when fighting cocks, so they also named them from the Three Kingdoms.

Xue Chang's chicken is a Guanzhong rooster. It is known for its large size, sufficient endurance, and never retreat. After being trained by Xue Chang, the chicken is even more brave. It has been pecked at the opponent ten times before, and it is really fierce. It is also nicknamed "Tiger Idiot Xu Feng".

When Zhou Xuan heard that Xue Chang's nickname was "Tiger Crazy Xu Chu", he laughed and said, "There are so many people calling Xu Chu!"

The guy in the chicken house held the bet fund and asked if he wanted to bet?

Zhou Xuan asked whom the Sizi bet?

The Sichi said: "Monkey Ai Xiangkong."

Lai Fu did not bring much money this time, so he bet 180 taels of "Shuangji Dianwei".

Finally, look at the odds between the two sides. The "Double Ji Dian Wei" is 18 in ten, and the "Tiger Idiot Xu Chu" is 10 in ten, and it seems that the chicken friends are optimistic about Xue Chang's "Tiger Idiot Xu Chu".

Another gong sounded, and the monk Xiangkong's chicken "Dianwei" suddenly rose into the air, jumping six feet high, and two chicken claws like iron hooks grabbed Xue Chang's "Tiger Crazy Xu Chu" in the air.

The originally dull "Tiger Madness Xu Chu" suddenly took three steps back. After the "Double-halberd Dianwei" had all reached its ground, the neck suddenly stretched out and the sharp beak pecked at the head of the "Double-halberd Dianwei" was aimed at the corns. If it pecked, the "Double-halberd Dianwei" would become one-eyed.

"Shuangji Dianwei" twisted his head and avoided the pecking, but his neck did not dodge. He was hit hard, and his skin suddenly burst out and his wings flapping back. "Tiger Idiot Xu Chu" did not take advantage of the victory to pursue and returned to Mu Dai's appearance.

Once the battle is over, the "Tiger Idiot Xu Chu" will hit the opponent hard, which is really amazing.

Monk Xiangkong stood aside and whistled. "Shuangji Dianwei" received the order and immediately began to circle around "Tiger Fanatic Xu Chu", turning faster and faster, as if flying.

Zhou Xuan secretly praised it. This seems to be a copy of the battle between Yu Canghai and Yue Buqun in "The Smiling and Proud Wanderer". I wonder if this tactic is useful?

"Shuangji Dianwei" immediately proved that this tactic is very useful. "Tiger Madness Xu Chu" is huge and not very flexible in turning around. He was pecked hard on the chicken pp by "Shuangji Dianwei" and jumped straight into pain.

"Dianwei of the Double Ji" is not polite, chasing and pecking with both claws. For a moment, "Tiger Idiot Xu Chu" can only resist and have no ability to fight back.

With a "pop", the "Jiang General" Xue Chang also issued an order. After hearing the whip, "Tiger Madness Xu Chu" suddenly turned around, regardless of the sharp claws that the other party had harshly grabbed, he raised his head and pecked.

Both sides were injured. "Tiger Madness Xu Chu" was caught in the neck and chicken breasts, and "Shuangji Dianwei"'s neck was severely damaged again, with two bloody holes.

"Tiger Idiot Xu Chu" relied on her head and was caught while fighting, and finally stabilized the situation. The two chickens fought hard.

The cockfighting was indeed bloody. Zhou Xuan looked at Fairy Jingyi in the tent and turned around and stopped facing the cockfighting hall.

The three thousand chicken friends present cheered endlessly, and when they were loud, they were like a tsunami collapse. They were really a fan of chickens.

This decisive battle lasted for half an hour. If it were someone, he would have been exhausted. However, although the two chickens had scattered feathers and could not stand steadily, they still glared at each other angrily. After a moment of confrontation, they would fight again. It seemed that they would never stop.

Zhou Xuan said: "The fourth brother, why do I think the fifth brother will lose? Xue Chang's chicken is tall and strong, and his endurance is stronger than that of the fifth brother. The fifth brother's chicken will not be able to withstand it until the end of the grinding."

The Sichi laughed in a low voice and said, "Fifth brother will not lose. If his chicken is about to lose, others will play."

"Ah!" Zhou Xuan was shocked.

Sure enough, the "Tiger Idiot Xu Chu" gradually gained the upper hand for some reason and suddenly staggered, and was noticed by the "Double Gallop Dian Wei" and scratched the chicken's feet, blinding one of the eyes of the "Tiger Idiot Xu Chu".

"Shuangji Dianwei" also wanted to pounce on him and peck him to death. Monk Xiangkong was kind and whistled and ordered to spare the life of this chicken.

The "tiger silly Xu Chu" who had one eye blinded was spinning around in the same place, falling down repeatedly, and suddenly blinded her, and was very uncomfortable and could not master the balance.

The three thousand chicken friends in the cockfighting hall were silent at first, and then they burst into a trembling cheer.

The young man Xue Chang stood blankly by the fence. After a while, the whip sounded. His one-eyed chicken staggered back, and was held hostage by him. He said nothing and left the scene in disgrace.

The Lantern Festival Chicken Battle Champion rewarded 2,000 taels of silver. Monk Xiangkong donated it to Jinling Pujiyuan on the spot. This Pujiyuan is a nursing home that takes in homeless people.

Zhou Xuan donated the bank he won with his bet and his principal amount of more than 400 taels to the Pujiyuan. He was puzzled and asked the Sichi: "How did Lao Wu cheat? I can't even see it clearly?"

The Sizi said: "My fifth brother likes to bet and will always bet on it, but he is not greedy for money and the money he wins is gone."

Zhou Xuan said: "Wow, who dares to bet with this person?"

Siqi smiled and said, "So he always bets on life, and he often changes his identities. He became a Taoist priest last year and became a monk this year."

Zhou Xuan said: "Wait until I go and scare him." He slowly walked behind Wu Chi who was healing the wounds of "Shuangji Dianwei", and whispered: "Good means, good means, the Zen master can win no matter how much he fights a cock!"

Wu Chi turned his head and saw the Si Chi behind Zhou Xuan. He was surprised and opened his mouth and was about to speak, but Si Chi made a silent gesture to him.

When Zhou Xuan saw the Sinichi followed him, he knew that he could not help but be fooled by the Wunichi and said with a smile: "I'll invite the Zen master to come to my place to talk."

Wu Chi looked at the Four Crazy, and the Four Crazy nodded, and Wu Chi said, "That's going to bother."

Zhou Xuan led the Wucha to meet Chen Ji and Sun brothers, and Wucha Heshi said, "The little monk has met you all donors."

The three brothers of Xu came over and admired the five ignorant things. They called each other a "master" and asked the master to accept the three brothers as disciples to learn the way of chickens.

Noisy, everyone returned to the shore of Mochou Lake. Wu Chi had already learned Zhou Xuan's identity from Si Chi. When he learned that the third brother and the fourth brother were all subdued by this person, he was shocked and immediately proposed to bet on five games with Zhou Xuan—sword, chess, insects, tea, chicken—

Before Zhou Xuan could tell the bet, he refused and said, "You will be sloppy, I won't bet with you!"

Wu Chi shouted at Si Chi and said, "It's a bitter thing, Fourth Brother, why did you protect the young monk?"

Siqi smiled and said, "Fifth brother, since you are here, let's stay here for a few more days. There is a Lantern Festival chess battle tonight. Let's take a look at the current chess skills of Brother Fourth, which are much better than before."

Wu Chi heard that San Chi had gone to Hangzhou, and said, "Okay, I'll watch the game between the fourth brother tonight, and I'll go to Hangzhou tomorrow."

That night, the Imperial College held the eighth round of the second round of the Lantern Festival chess battle. The Fenghua Army fought against the chess players from Zhennan Protectorate, but Zhou Xuan, Si Chi, Gu Liuquan and the other three sat by the chessboard and waited for a long time without seeing their opponent.

After a while, a student who acted as a referee came over and said that the chess player from Zhennan Protectorate had withdrawn from the Lantern Festival chess battle and gave up the next two rounds.

Wu Chi smiled and said, "The fourth brother is amazing, he will defeat others without fighting."

Zhou Xuan frowned slightly and said to Sichi, "It seems that Wei Bo has arrived in Jinling."

When he returned to his residence by Mochou Lake, Zhou Xuan asked Judge Fan and Chief Gu immediately sent someone to investigate Wei Bo's movements. Sure enough, Wei Bo secretly came to Jinling last night and visited General Wei Huangfu Jixun overnight.

Zhou Xuan asked: "Did Wei Bo meet the emperor today?"

Judge Fan said: "Wei Bo has gone to the Honglu Temple and will meet His Majesty tomorrow morning."

Zhou Xuan thought about it and ordered the horse to go to see Prince Li Jian overnight.

When Li Jian saw that Xuan's cousin Yi was visiting at night, he knew that there was something big, so he led to a study to discuss secretly. Zhou Xuan talked about Wei Bo's collusion with the Southern Han Dynasty. Li Jian worriedly said: "Wei Bo and Li Kun have a close relationship, and now they colluded with the Southern Han Dynasty. It is really worth mentioning, but there is no evidence now. As a vassal state, he cannot be touched."

Zhou Xuan nodded and said, "Brother Jian said that, or with His Majesty's will, he would keep Wei Bo in Beijing and secretly send someone to Hongzhou to collect evidence of Wei Bo collusion with the Southern Han Dynasty. The matter will be strongly assisted by the governor Chen of Hongzhou."

Li Jian said: "Okay, I'll go and say to my father, by the way, Cousin Xuan can also tell my mother about Wei Bo's pursuit in Hongzhou. The mother has a great impression of Cousin Xuan. When she heard that Cousin Xuan was almost killed, she must be angry. If a mother says a few words in front of the father, she will get twice the result with half the effort."
