2. The original chicken king in the outer chapter of 'Emperor Entertainment'(1/2)
This article is the experience of the three sons of the Tao Gu, the three immortals fighting cocks written by Xiaodao's friend Qing Mo for "Royal Entertainment Guide". Thank you to Qing Mo.

1. Apprenticeship
However, Zhou Xuan prescribed a prescription for the three fools of Lord Xu, and suggested that Lord Xu let Aduan, Ayong and AShu go out for a trip, so that Lord Xu can open his hut and be happy and happy. However, he also had a problem with joy. The world is so big, where should the three fools go? Although he was going to train, he was his own son after all. The mountains and rivers are long and the three fools traveled for the first time. What if there is a mistake?
Just as he was worried, an old slave came to report that it was a middle-aged man who called himself the boss of the "Iron Crown Camp" of the cockfighting workshop, and asked for a meeting. If it were normal, Lord Xu, a businessman in this kind of market, would not like it. What's more, the three sons were mostly sick from chickens, and it would be good not to beat them up. But at this time, when he thought of Zhou Xuan's instructions, he suddenly became blessed and thought that it would be better to start from the chicken friend of the three sons and order it to be summoned.
After meeting, Lord Xu saw that Lu Dong was eight feet tall, with a tiger back, a bear waist, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a wide mouth. He was considered to be handsome. As soon as he entered the door, he was considerate and treated with a kind of manners of a family of officials, and he felt a little more affectionate. He asked, "You are the deacon manager of the Iron Guan Camp? You don't look like a local person?"
"The villain is exactly." Lu Dong replied: "What the adults said is, the villain's ancestor Ji and Shandong, who moved here a few years ago due to family storms and raised chickens to make a living. Today, he took the liberty, but he didn't want to see the adults' golden face, and he was very happy."
"Then why are you here?"
"This..." Lu Dong wanted to speak but stopped.
"Since you're here, why bother snoring?"
Lu Dong said: "The reason is that the three young men bought a few chickens in the villain's chicken farm. At that time, the three young men were not very convenient, so they did not have enough silver goods. Now many days have passed, and the three young men have not paid off the payment for the goods. The villain made a living here and had no choice but to come to the door to see him. This is the IOU written by the three young men that day, please check it out."
"Oh?" Lord Xu was surprised when he saw it, "One chicken costs one hundred taels? Three chickens actually cost three hundred taels?" Lord Xu was angry: "Are you bullying my three sons and not knowing the market, can you ask for a price all over the sky?"
Lu Dong said: "My dear, these three chickens are not ordinary broilers. These are purebred chickens brought back from thousands of miles away from western Shandong. The cockfighting in western Shandong, which was raised for several years, has been carefully fed with wheat sorghum and other concentrated feed. The cost of building a chicken house alone is no less than fifty taels. For more than a year, the labor is no less than twenty or thirty taels, and there are various expenses of various sizes and sizes. Each chicken costs no less than ninety taels. If it is someone else, there is no one hundred and fifty taels of villains. This is also the three young men who are the pearls in the hands of the adults and have a preference for the villain. Only then can they bear the pain and give up love. They borrow ten courage from the villain, and the villain will never dare to ask for a price all over the sky."
Lord Xu's heart moved and asked, "I heard from you that this is also very knowledgeable about raising cockfighting?"
"That's natural..." After saying this, Lu Dong felt disrespectful again and hurriedly said, "But fighting cocks and horses is a small path. The adults' talent for governing the world will naturally not take it to heart."
"You are a clever mouth." Lord Xu smiled and said, "From today's son to the people, there are countless people who like this, and this path is not small." He looked at the IOU: "A chicken is only 100 taels. Those who don't know think it is a crane and phoenix. I want to ask, how many of your most expensive chickens are sold?"
"The cockfighting business has recently opened shortly after the villain came here. The most expensive one was a Huozhou chicken sold by a merchant from Huozhou (now Turpan). It is known as the "Fish Falcon" and is priced at 1,700 taels."
"Oh?" Lord Xu was shocked: "A mere cockfighting sold for nearly two thousand taels of silver?"
Lu Dongdao: "As early as the ancestor of the villain, he had a 'Lou Feng' in his family, and he sold it for 5,000 taels. At that time, the market situation was not as good as the present. If it was in the Changping world today, it can be said that ten thousand taels of gold will not be given to others."
Master Xu said: "In this way, your family has been raising chickens for generations, and you have also inherited your ancestral property."
"Yes, the villain has been taking this as a career for generations, and broiler chickens and fighting cocks are raised. The villain's father was once known as the chicken king in the southern part of Shandong. Unfortunately, the villain is dull. The ancestral scriptures have been passed down to the villain's understanding of less than one or two, and the family has fallen into decline and even wants to move to shelter, which is ashamed."
"Boss Lu doesn't have to be humble. As the saying goes, "I don't have to be unpredictable in the world, and I think you are not lucky at the same time. You are still young. If you are good at managing this path, you will have a bright future in the future." Lord Xu said with a smile.
Lu Dong was flattered: "I am praised by my great man, but I am ashamed and frightened."
Lord Xu waved to his servants: "Come, come and get one thousand taels of silver."
Lu Dong almost didn't believe his ears. When the master handed over a thousand taels of silver to him, he hurriedly knelt down: "Sir, how can this be done?"
"It's made! It's made!" Lord Xu helped Lu Dong up: "I'm not hiding it, I have something to ask for."
"If the lord has instructions, the lord will agree."
"I want to ask Boss Lu to take my three sons to learn how to fight and raise chickens, and to see the origin of various famous chickens in the world to increase your knowledge... In other words, I want to ask you to accept my three sons as disciples." Lord Xu's speech was extremely humble at this time, and my official position was changed to Lao, and the boss also changed to You.
Lu Dong's eyes were straight: "My lord is joking with me. If the young master is in the official school, he will definitely be a talented person in the world and follow the villain to make a living. Wouldn't it be a pearl to go to the dark?"
"Oh!" Lord Xu waved his hand: "If you agree, you are not an outsider. I might as well say, "If you agree, you are not an outsider. I might as well say, "The three things that are not good at me are of great power, but I am stupid and stupid. I only have a fight with cocks in my life. I am given a doctor's guidance every day. Instead of being in charge, it is better to guide you. I think it is right, and being an official is not the only way to make a name for yourself. I thought that when Duke Heng of Qi and Shan Bo and other kings and princes were also addicted to this path. Emperor Ming of Wei built a cockfighting platform higher. Although he was playing with things and losing his ambition, if he took this as a career, he would have another realm. What's more, the hundred ways of returning to his heart, and the sect remains unchanged. One method is perfect, all methods are well-versed. Maybe they will succeed in one day, and from this to that, they will be happy and wise, and wise. That is not your ability to teach according to your aptitude."
"Sir, wise!" Lu Dong deeply admired these words: "It's just that the adults are so relieved to the villain. The villain is not a professor's talent, which really makes the villain..."
"Don't make things difficult for me. My son is not young. With me, I always tremble and ask about my health. I can't grow up. Why don't you let them make a way out? Lu Dong..." Lord Xu held his hand: "I'm sincere and sincere, I hope I won't push you away."
Lu Dong's heart was constantly changing, but he was able to form a teacher-student relationship with nobles and nobles, which was not the fate that Lord Xu said? Finally, he turned over and bowed: "Why can a villain defeat him? As long as he can let go, he should do his best to serve the three young masters well to prove his inaction and teach him."
"That's wrong!" Lord Xu smiled and helped Lu Dong up: "You are the commander of the teacher, how can you speak the word "serving easily? Today I will authorize you to strictly regulate and teach me carefully. If a few naughty children dare to violate the dignity of the teacher and serve with sticks, hahaha..."
Lu Dong was also a straightforward person. He was happy and replied: "You are the one who has something to say, but you are more likely to obey your orders than to be respectful."
"Okay! Hahaha!" Lord Xu twisted his beard and patted his shoulder: "Come on, call out the three children and ask them to call them Master."
2. Yanfu
A Duan, Ayong, AShu learned that he wanted to take Lu Dong as his teacher. At first, Lord Xu was worried that they would feel lowered their identities. He didn't expect them to cheer. When he heard that he could still go far, he was even more relaxed and happy. He did not have any action of valuing his identity. Lord Xu was relieved and couldn't help but sigh: "Crazy!Crazy!"
After some work, the three fools were finally going out with Ludong. Even Zhou Xuan came to see him off. Before leaving, he gave them a gift: "Three young men, if you encounter a chicken that won't win in the future, you can try the method in this gift." The three fools took him stupidly and didn't look at him, and stuffed it into his pockets. Then, he said goodbye to his family and waited for him.
Although Lu Dong was straightforward and meticulous, if Jiangzhou learned that the son of the assassin, the son of the assassin, was condescending to the Gui and a chicken farmer to learn how to raise chickens, then how could Lord Xu have any face? Besides, if he was in Jiangzhou, he really wanted to control the three fools, they would not stand the crying and making trouble in front of his father, and they didn't know what happened. He asked Lord Xu to take the three young masters to the southwest border to learn to subscribe to good chickens. Lord Xu was smart and experienced, and he also guessed Lu Dong's thoughts, but he was relieved. Lu Dong was rough and meticulous, and he was a reliable person. If he couldn't do it well, the three sons could really learn something with him, and he could do it now.
After saying goodbye, three fools followed Ludong to the Xu Mansion. Ludong was supported by a wealthy and powerful governor, and he was not afraid of losing his capital. He also had a long-cherished wish in his life. He wanted to see the Southwest Fighting Cock, and he made a living alone and had no family concerns. So he simply walked away and embarked on the way to the southwest Bazidi (now Xishuangbanna).
As early as the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the vast area in the southwest was sparsely populated, but at that time the Canglan River had produced the Southwest Fighting Cocks, which are now known as the four major Chinese cock-fighting cocks. The Baiyue tribe (now Vietnam) envoy who had not yet established a country, traveled thousands of miles to send the Xiongwu very cock-fighting cocks, known as "Southwest Guo Jie" (Guo Jie, a famous ranger in the Han Dynasty, see "Records of the Grand Historian".) was invincible in the palace competition. Unfortunately, the Southwest Fighting Cocks were a little unacceptable to the Central Plains. In addition, after crossing with the Central Plains, they lost their purebred. Therefore, even if they are familiar with the cock-fighting Cocks, they are only known for the Southwest Fighting Cocks.
Four people rode together in a car, and gradually left Jiangzhou. On the way, Lu Dong asked San'er some common sense of cockfighting. In fact, although San'er loved cockfighting, it was just because of his passion. He had never learned systematically. He knew that it was mostly taught by chicken friends. It was not pure. Lu Dong dug out the "Chicken Tu" from his ancestors while he was free on the road and gave it a careful lecture. It was strange that the three fools were still yelling at their fathers on weekdays. When they heard about cockfighting, they were full of concentration and their eyes were shining. As expected, they were the best teacher. During the lecture, Lu Dong was still lying next to him. This was the best cockfighting he regarded as a treasure in his chicken shop. He looked like his biological son. He went there and took him with him. It was just a reference to the actual subject and gave lectures on the spot.
"The cockfighting is characterized by a burly body, strong body, symmetrical and compact structure, strong muscles, strong muscles, strong temperament, and good at fighting. It has developed bones, dense and thick bones. The head, neck, neck, chest, and shin are almost in a straight line. The crown is red, crown, beard, and earlobes are not well developed. The eyes are big and sharp, the beak is thick and short, hard and wedge-shaped, the tip is slightly bent and very sharp, the neck is thick and flexible, the legs are strong and powerful, the shin is long and developed, long and sharp, and grow upward. The claws are thick and hard, hard and sharp. The feathers are thin, thick and hard, short and tightly attached to the body surface, and are rich in lust, with diverse feathers, mostly black feathers. The wing feathers are powerful..."
While Lu Dong gestured on the cockfighting, he was tempted by the three fools. He shook his head and asked a few questions from time to time. Lu Dong answered them very much, which greatly impressed the three fools. At first, he had some stubborn intentions when he went out.
Just walked and taught. When it was dark that night, the four of them stayed in a nightclub with the coachman. The shop was remote and only a few of them stayed in the hotel. Due to the difficulty of boating, the four of them went to bed early. After a hurry in the east of Shandong, they got up and relieved. When they passed by a prefabricated room, they heard the sound of sharpening the knife inside, but there was no light in the room. He couldn't help but wonder, how could they sharpen the knife in the dark? He was curious and he was not listening. It was fine if he didn't listen. When he heard it, he was so scared that he was drenched in a bucket of snow water, and his whole body was cold.
The person inside said, "You have sharpened the knife for a long time. If you are a knife for a while, will it be clean? You have to sharpen the knife in the last battle."
Another man said loudly: "What's the hurry? They don't know what business we are doing? Don't worry, I can't escape."
After hearing this, Lu Dong knew that they had committed a wrong visit to a black store. These people sharpened their knives and were about to make money and died. They hurried back to the three crazy nurseries: "Get up quickly, is this a black store?"
"What black shop?" The three of them were sleeping in a daze. After Lu Dong said that, not only did he escape, but he started to get angry: "Ah? It's a black shop that kills and robs. How can he allow him to be rampant? He will capture them!"
Lu Dong was very anxious: "Worry, we are not familiar with the place, and we will suffer losses when fighting with them!"
But when he finished speaking, the most impatient A Shu and A Duan had already rushed out. When they heard the sound of sharpening the knife, they kicked away regardless of the slightest bitch. The two black-faced men inside were startled.
A Duan grabbed a wooden stick next to him: "What a black shop, you are unlucky when you hit your young master!" Without saying a word, he wanted to hit him with one stick.
Seeing that the matter was exposed, the black man showed his fierce appearance and took the knife in his hand: "It's better to come, so I won't run again." He brought a knife to kill! If ordinary people saw this shaky knife, they would be scared to retreat, but A Duan's name was not in vain. Not only did they not fear, they would come up with five points of silly and five points of bravery. The local yelled, and the sticks and swords added together. Fortunately, the knife had not been sharpened yet, and the wooden stick was stuck in the wooden stick. Another big man picked up a short knife and rushed to him. A Shu shouted loudly and rushed forward to him. The two of them rolled outside the house, broke through the fence, and fell from the second-floor guest room.
The big man suffered a great loss. Ashu was on top and he was on bottom. Ashu was originally a fat man, and he was on the belly. He was not hurt at all. However, the big man had to shift his internal organs and shit out of both ends. He seemed to be unable to survive.
There was no one else coming out of this. It seemed that there were only these two people in the black store. A Duan was very confident and fought with the big man. The big man shouted: "Brother!" Seeing that the brother was dead, he was full of resentment. He had some skills and kicked out. A Duan yelled and fell to the corner with a roar.
Although Lu Dong did not dare to act recklessly, he was entrusted by others, so how could A Duan be injured? He screamed and rushed forward and started fighting with the man. Unexpectedly, he was kicked far away and then slashed him down with a knife.
Seeing that Lu Dong was about to be chopped to his head with a knife, he suddenly screamed Titicaca, and a big cock pounced down like a goshawk and landed on the head of the big man. It was so fierce that several pecked around and actually pecked at one of the big man's eyes.
"Good chicken!" Ayong, who was standing at the door, shouted. It turned out that he loved chickens and had to sleep with the cock at night. When Aduan and Ashu came first, he did not forget to hug the chicken. Now, when he saw the scene, the cockfighting master was in danger, he rose up to protect the master and saved Lu Dong in a critical moment.
The big man covered his bloody eyes and went crazy to catch the cockfighting. The cockfighting was caught by him and screamed and was thrown out of the window. He didn't know whether he was alive or dead.
"Ah!" Lu Dong was furious and rushed forward to fight him. Aduan and Ayong rushed to help. Three to one fight were different. The great man's kung fu was just a fur. Ayong pulled one foot tightly, and Lu Dong and Ayong each held one hand. At this time, AShu, who was so painful that he also came up, picked up a jar and smashed it over. With a clamor, the great man's head was bleeding and fell to the ground and died.
Finally, Lu Dong breathed a sigh of relief, but was afraid that there would be two accomplices near the black shop, so he pulled the three of them away quickly, and went to call the coachman who was sleeping like a dead pig.
But the three fools did not leave the store first as he said, but instead ran out the window to find the cockfighting that was thrown out by the man. But they saw a cockfighting in a chicken coop in the backyard and dying, while a hen was combing its feathers next to it, looking very concerned.
"Oh? This hen likes our cockfighting!" Aduan laughed.
"It just happened to find a companion for it." Ashu also smiled and walked up to pick up the hen. The three of them didn't realize that they were thrilling just now, and they laughed out loud.
At this time, Lu Dong had already called the panicked driver. When he saw the three of them holding the hen, he couldn't help but laugh and cry when he heard the three of them tell the whole story, and urged the three of them to leave quickly. So the four of them hurriedly wanted to get in the car. Suddenly, they heard a few women inside shouting: "Help!"
"There are still people!" A Duan ran back again, and Lu Dong was anxious: "Don't worry, it's important for us to escape ourselves."
But A Duan was the most crazy thing among the three. He didn't listen to a word. Ashu and Ayong followed. When the three heard the call for help, they came from under the floor. The three of them had a brute force and moved three big rocks and hit the ground in a round of trouble. Although the three of them were fat, they were not weak. Finally, they made a thud and the ground broke. When they stretched their heads, they couldn't help but be surprised. There were three girls with disheveled faces about fifteen or sixteen years old, all of whom were tied and had their mouths closed, but one of them broke free, revealing half of their lips. It must have been because she heard the fighting.
"Are you robbed?" A Duan had heard of forcing a robbery of a civilian girl.
A Shu was a little stupid: "Can they be the mistresses of the two guys?"
"No! We were robbed, and they killed our whole family." The girl who could talk was so anxious that she cried: "It also means she would marry us long ago and be their escort wife..."
On the one hand, Lu Dong felt numb when he heard this. It seemed that these people really had accomplices, even villages. He pulled three people away quickly, so he didn't meddle in other people's business, but the three fools jumped out bravely. The hero saved the beauty and rescued the three people. Lu Dong had no choice but to let them go. Fortunately, the carriage was big enough, and there were four horsemen pulling bikes, and they could pull seven people.
The three girls entered the carriage and cried in a mess. The three fools were Mumunana. They didn't know what to say, but Lu Dong asked and found out that the three girls were the three daughters of a wealthy family. They also wanted to move to Jiangzhou, but they were not robbed by these robbers halfway. The whole family killed only three of them, and the property was robbed. If Lu Dong and the others were not here to stay, they would have been forced to do so at this time.
The three fools cursed the robbers and were heartless. Lu Dong sighed: "What are your plans?"
The three girls looked at me, and I looked at you, and they all shook their heads. The family was destroyed and they were in chaos and didn't know where to go. At this time, Ludong came up with an idea. It would be better to take these three girls to serve the three young men as maids. I heard that they had never married, and they would do whatever they wanted to be wives, concubines and maids in the future. In this way, they would have to serve them and they would have less time to do their own work.
Lu Dong thought of this and said, "Since you have nowhere to go, why not follow us three young masters. They are the young masters of the governor of Jiangzhou. If you serve well and the young masters are in the future, you will have a place to settle down and enjoy wealth and glory, are you willing?"
The three girls are all weak ladies and have no idea. Now they are saved by others. What else can I say? Since someone is sheltering them, it is better than the suffering of wandering. They nodded and expressed their permission.
When the three of them agreed, the three fools also opened their mouths and laughed.
In this way, there were six people in a car, walking along the way. This time, Lu Dong learned his lesson. If he didn't stay in a nightclub, he would rather stay outside for a nightclub. He was cautious. After checking in a town inn, three women took a bath and put on the new clothes that Lu Dong bought for them. When they went there, they showed their true colors. They were all very beautiful. They were graceful and beautiful. Even Jiangzhou, which is rich in beauty, could not see such a pretty appearance. The three fools were so happy and lustful. Although they were a bit crazy, they were not stupid. They started flirting with the three girls along the way. The three girls were a little reserved at first, but after they became familiar with each other, they gradually felt that although the three were a bit stupid, they were also straightforward and innocent, and they got along well. One was called Yuerong, the other was Yueyang, and the other was Yueyan. They happened to have a place to compete with Aduan, Ayong and AShu, and naturally formed three pairs.
Lu Dong secretly laughed at the three fools, although they were crazy, this beauty was quite good. However, when it comes to Yan Fu, it was still the fighting cock. While running in the car, it actually had a fetus with the hen. On the road, it laid three eggs for three consecutive days. Lu Dong pointed at the fighting cock and laughed: "What a pervert! He was so lustful before his injuries were cured. He was really a rooster."
Three, become famous
After running on the road for more than a month, finally, the dam land arrived. It was almost a few days before Lu Dong was annoyed. The three fools were shouting that they would get to marry their respective partners. They quickly entered the bridal chamber. The three girls were so embarrassed that they blushed. Lu Dong shook his head and sighed, wanting to teach them to abide by the etiquette of men and women, but it was not as simple as teaching cockfighting. They just couldn't listen and leaned against the red and green in the car all day long. If there weren't too many people, they would have almost accomplished a good thing.
Another thing is that the hen actually hatched three eggs in the bumpy road. The three yellow chicks were very cute. Lu Gui found that these three chicks were a bit unique. As soon as they were born, they had a bright red cockscomb on their heads. Looking at them, they had short mouths, sharp claws, strong wings, and vertical neck and chest. They were shocked. The cockfighting actually crossed a rare chicken species with this unknown hen. He then noticed that this hen was not from Jiangzhou, but was a Zhangzhou chicken. He then remembered that the three girls were from Zhangzhou, which was also a rich place for cockfighting. The chicken in Ludong was a purebred produced in Huozhou. I really didn't expect that Zhanghuo could produce such a strange chicken species. It looked energetic and was born as a chicken species.
As a result, the three fools became interested and carefully raised three chickens with Lu Dong. Lu Dong also took the opportunity to teach them how to raise cockfighting. As the way, even the three sisters Yuerong became experts in raising cockfighting.
Finally, after a forty-five days, I asked and walked while asking, and slept in the open air. At this time, the three fools seemed to be as Zhou Xuan said. After seeing famous mountains and rivers, their minds were opened, and their ignorance was a little less, and they had a faint look of dust on their faces, and they became much more mature. Under the guidance of Lu Dong and their high interest, they almost exhausted all the knowledge of Lu Dong's cockfighting. Finally, Lu Dong had no choice but to say that there was nothing to teach, so let them learn in practice.
In the Dai area in Bazidi, several people arrived at their destination. The customs and customs were completely different from those in the Central Plains. They traveled all the way, from stilt houses to water-splashing festivals, from strange costumes to light festivals, several people were invisible to see, especially the local cockfighting activities. In the cockfighting field, two "chicken guides" held a cockfighting cock in each hand, making them angrily. When the "swords were tense" to the point of fire, once the fierce fighting began, the chicken that kicked the opponent off the ring was the winner.
Generally speaking, brave men with strong physiques and beaks and claws will win, but some chickens have been through battle formations and know how to make a strategy and wisdom. When they encounter opponents who can only fight hard, they will first sell a flaw. When the opponent kicks out, they will use the technique of moving the flash cups, so that the opponent can be "flashed" off the ring with one foot, and easily win.
The local method of raising cockfighting is quite distinctive than that of the Central Plains. The staple food of crocodiles in the Central Plains is mixed with grains. With ordinary feed and grass, the vegetable leaves can meet their nutritional needs. However, Dai cockfighting is more important, from room temperature to feed, from chicken coop color to manure treatment, there is knowledge everywhere, and the flower mind is spent more than ordinary Central Plains chickens. No wonder the southwest chickens were able to dominate the Central Plains back then, and it was indeed reasonable.
To be continued...
