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 just 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 my cultivation level is high enough and my spiritual thoughts can move thousands of miles away, even if the wizard of the Yuan Sheng Cult is hiding at the edge of thousands of miles away, I can see through it and kill him at a glance. Do I still need to go to such trouble?
so……
"Just listen to Luo Hongyi's sad and moaning song, and the most beautiful girl can't keep it, just like the river flowing away..."
"well said!"
"What a shame that yellow scholar is so cruel. 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 lot of skills. The newly hired storyteller can often come up with new stories, including short stories and long stories, and the story quality is pretty good.
Because there was abundant spiritual energy in ancient times, 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 to books is one of his recreational activities here.
"reward!"
Mr. Lu, Ge You, was paralyzed. He raised his hand and summoned the waiter generously, and scattered a handful of copper coins on the wooden plate.
"Thank you Mr. Lu for the reward!"
One waiter 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.
He shook 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 walked by and left.
But just as he turned around, he felt a breath disappear in the crowd.
"good!"
"Hey! Why did you lose again!"
"This General Chi Tian is so powerful, he has won three games in a row!"
"Haha, let me accept it!"
"Li Laosi, just wait. I will go to the town to watch the chickens today. Let's continue tomorrow!"
"I'll wait!" A voice laughed, "That's it for today. After winning 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 triumphantly.
In the crowd, because the idle man left, another two 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 did not squeeze into the crowd, but looked at Li Laosi with twinkling eyes, and then slowly followed him.
We 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 the invisible Lu Zheng.
"Count quickly, how much did you earn today?"
When they came to a dilapidated yard, it was not Li Laosi who spoke, but the big rooster who had won three games in a row.
"Don't worry, don't worry, I'll 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.
"I won three games. The winner of the opposite chicken owner was one hundred dollars per person, plus the dealer's bonus. The first game was more than three hundred dollars, the second game was much less, and the third game made another two hundred dollars. Money, a total of nine hundred and seventeen dollars."
"Is it enough to buy me 100-year-old ginseng and 100-year-old Ganoderma lucidum?" the big rooster asked.
"Of course...it's not enough!"
Li Laosi looked at the nearly full amount of copper coins in front of him, and his eyes turned red. He had never had so much money before!
"With this money, I can even go to Chunfeng Tower to stay for one night..."
The big rooster flapped its wings, "How much does it cost to buy the elixir?"
"You have to hit it hard 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, just keep fighting, hold back your strength, and don't win too easily."
"I know, I even let those weak chickens peck a few of my feathers off."
"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 fighting cocks. When the time comes, it all depends on whether we can be popular and drink spicy food."
As Li Laosi spoke, he scooped a large spoonful of yellow rice from the rice vat and poured it into a pottery bowl and placed it 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 dollars. Then I will sell you to him. Wait until night, and you can sneak away. Come out, let’s 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 a monster who was accidentally enlightened and teamed up with humans to win money.
As for the strength of this big cock...
It can only beat other big cocks. It is estimated that even ordinary people cannot beat them. If they are pinched by the neck, they will die. It is far worse than Hou Ping back then.
He didn't know how the two of them met. This was much more interesting than hearing about the book. Lu Zheng became interested and prepared to follow up and observe.
then……
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 bookmaker won't be able to draw 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 the slums in the west of the city. He makes a living by gambling all day long. He can eat when he is hungry or when he has no money. Catch crickets and pheasants for gambling in the woods outside the city.
A few days ago, he lost all his money and went to try his luck in the woods outside the city. As a result, he happened to meet a big rooster poking its head at the edge of the woods.
As for this big rooster, I don't know if it was due to the awakening of its bloodline or because it 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. Not to mention tigers and leopards, even bobcats and foxes can eat it as lunch.
So it decided to try its luck in the county where mortals lived. Even if it was hiding and practicing slowly as a pheasant, it would be better than living precariously in the forest.
So, the two of them, no, 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 seemed to have seen himself fluttering its wings and making a blockbuster scene.
Then, under the suggestion of Li Laosi, who was familiar with the cockfighting business, they decided to fight cockfighting to increase their reputation and win twice the money from Mr. Wang.
By then, with more than a hundred strings in hand, they can leave Tonglin County with peace of mind and continue in other counties.
…
Sure enough, no one suspected that the big rooster was a demon with enlightened intelligence. They thought that Li Laosi was just lucky and accidentally 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.
