Chapter 191: Dog Castle
The view of the dog fort is equally breathtaking, with the river meandering at the peak. Due to the growth of aquatic plants, the riverbed will present a colorful scene, bringing together purple, cyan, white, orange, green five colors, bright and different shades, the river bottom has red plants, with yellow stones, blue water, like a rainbow. In the center of the dog castle is a tall dracaena tree with a short trunk and branches growing evenly upwards like a giant green mushroom. The dragon's blood tree is surrounded by different types of stone pots, about a foot high, with a mouth as thick as a man, hewn from rock, sandstone, granite and limestone, and carved in relief. Along the fence is a circle of stone houses, painted with various colors, mostly red, yellow, and orange, and painted with totems on each side. Opposite to the stone arch is a huge temple made of huge stones, with a hanging gable roof, a five-flower gable, the wall beams are full of paintings, and the stone tablet that stands on the right side in front of the hall is inscribed, and there are three big characters of "Xiaotian Hall".
Dogs have the most sensitive sense of smell, and as soon as Wu Ma Xin stepped in, the low howls of wild dogs could be heard all around, but they were not seen.
Gou Niu, the owner of the dog castle, walked out of the Howling Hall with a group of men. The deputy fort master, Gou Ma, shouted in the air: "Ma Weiliang, don't come unharmed." ”
"Thanks to the deputy castle lord. Although the distance was very far, Ma Weiliang still respectfully clasped his fists and saluted, thanks to Gou Ma's care when he was in Zhizhou before. Compared with other peaks, Ma Weiliang is most optimistic about Dog Castle, straightforward and honest, without so much hypocrisy and cunning of the left and right, so Dog Castle is also the opponent he doesn't want to face directly.
Gou Niu said: "Since Eighteen is also here, I don't want to embarrass you." ”
"Eighteen?" Wu Maxin asked in a low voice.
"Well, when I first entered the Rat Village, I was ranked eighteenth, hence the name. Ma Weiliang also explained in a low voice. It seems that the people of Dog Fort are really wooden, and they don't even know that he has joined Leopard Hill.
Life is the most true thing if you see it for the first time, and not knowing it is not necessarily a bad thing.
"So be it. Gou Niu and Gou Ma exchanged glances and said, "Let's play a game, as long as you win, you can pass freely in my dog fort." ”
Ma Weiliang was overjoyed, and asked repeatedly: "Thank you Lord Goubao, dare to ask what game it is?"
Gou Niu smiled heartily and said, "Whack-a-mole." ”
"Whack-a-mole?"
"That's right. "You see these jars on the ground, the bottom of which is connected, and I have sent a hundred dogs to take turns in them, but the order is not certain. These dogs have a messy coat, mostly black and yellow, only one is pure white, without a trace of variegation, you only need to hit its first three times in the time of a pillar of incense, and you win. Or you don't hit the dog at the end of time, or you hit a dog of a different color three times, then you lose. ”
"It's as simple as that?"
"Haha, it's as simple as that. ”
"Okay, that's a deal. ”
"Hmm. Gou Niu nodded, waved his big hand, and then there was a sound of rustling, and it seemed that the wild dogs were ready.
Wu Ma Xin and others gathered around one place to discuss who should fight. The stone jar is about more than a foot high, and naturally it needs people with excellent light skills, and everyone's eyes invariably looked at Lou Yiming.
"I ...... The injuries on my body ......" Lou Yiming originally wanted to say that his injuries were not healed, but at this moment, Zhisun Bing walked over, gently hugged his arm and asked, "Are you okay with your injuries?"
"Out of the way...... The wounds on my body...... Injuries don't get in the way. Lou Yiming felt that the blood vessels in his body were twice as thick, and suddenly his blood boiled, and the whole person jumped into the air and said, "Gou ...... Lord Goubao, I'm coming. ”
"Ye Bu is not touched, and he really lives up to his reputation. Gou Niu smiled and said, "It's just a game, so don't hurt my dog." ”
"Let it go...... Rest assured. ”
"Good. Gou Niu commanded, "Come on, burn incense." ”
One of his burghers brought a bronze stamp plate and lit it. The people of Doubeast Mountain are from Chixian Shenzhou, and naturally all aspects are more refined than Duanguo. The incense time is not to insert a stick of incense on the ground, the face is pounded into the end of spices, mixed evenly in the copper printing plate and sprinkled into the shape of the seal "heart", point one end, according to the seal mark on the incense, burn out the timing.
The green smoke rose curly, Lou Yiming didn't dare to slack off, picked up a wooden stick, and the whole person flew back and forth above the stone jar, his eyes staring at the mouth of the jar.
The wild dog jumped up in the stone jar and showed its head, slapped the mouth of the jar with two front paws, and then sank back into the jar, and the stone jar on the other side jumped up, the speed was extremely fast, and more than a dozen wild dogs rose and fell between the electric light and stone fire, and Lou Yiming was dazzled, and he couldn't wait to have eyes all over his body.
Dozens of rounds later, the white wild dog jumped out of the can, Lou Yiming was overjoyed, and hurriedly rushed over, although the speed was extremely fast, when he arrived, there was only an empty can. In another stone jar not far away, a black wild dog jumped out and even barked "Wang", as if mocking him.
After dozens of rounds, Lou Yiming's hair was already soaked with sweat, but he didn't hit it once, and he couldn't help but get up in a hurry, flying like a headless fly.
"Third child, don't worry, hold steady!" Wang Ziqing shouted anxiously, but Lou Yiming seemed to be unable to hear, his eyes were as wide as light bulbs.
Gou Ma hugged his fist to Gou Niu and said in a low voice: "Thank you, big brother, for fulfilling my heart for Ma Weiliang." ”
"It's not just about fulfillment. Gou Niu said, "In the flood era, human beings chose dogs from thousands of creatures in nature, and it did not disappoint after all, and became the most loyal animal." Dogs have no human shortcomings, strong but not arrogant, brave but not cruel, how can I bear to let them die. We can summon them, we can do whatever we want, and even make them jump into the fire, and I feel more and more that this is using their loyalty to satisfy our selfishness. ”
"That'...... What if the people from the middle second peak and the upper third peak find out and blame it?"
"Then let them blame, it doesn't matter. Gou Niu Zhengse said, "I would rather die with peace of mind than live with guilt, I can't learn their despicable indifference." ”
"Yes, big brother is good. Gou Niu said from the bottom of his heart.
Most of the incense has been burned, but Lou Yiming has not yet hit the white wild dog, sweating profusely, his body is like washing, and the pressure is getting bigger and bigger. What's more, his status in Zhisun Bing's heart will also plummet, and it will be difficult to pursue her again.
Men are so strange, love will be more important than life.
Lou Yiming clenched his teeth, his eyes widened like light bulbs, staring at every can, and finally saw the figure of the white wild dog again. He hurriedly threw the wooden stick in his hand towards the mouth of the can, but it still missed a little, and the stick hit the edge of the mouth of the can and bounced out, and the white wild dog still sank quietly into the can.
Everyone also pinched a cold sweat for him, and slapped his thigh with regret.
The incense was about to burn out, Lou Yiming had already given up in his heart, and his whole body fell back into the word "big", falling back to the ground from the air, panting heavily. Wu Ma Xin and the others no longer reported any hope, bowed their heads and sighed.
......A slightly excited barking dog called everyone's attention again, and the white wild dog had already jumped out of the stone jar and chased it towards the wooden stick.
When the white wild dog came to Lou Yiming with a wooden stick in his mouth and wagging his tail, he was completely stunned. Can there be such an operation?
"Third child, hurry!" Cheng Jingzhi shouted anxiously.
"Oops, I almost forgot to get down to business. Lou Yiming took the wooden stick from the dog's mouth and gently knocked it on its head three times, and at this time, the incense tray had just finished burning the last bit, and the gray-black embers fell in a stream.
Happiness came so suddenly that no one reacted.
Gou Niu and Gou Ma glanced at each other and couldn't help laughing. Wu Ma Xin, Ma Chuanliang, Lou Yiming and others came to Gou Niu and bowed to the ground.
"Is this their win?" asked Gou Niu, pretending to keep a straight face.
"This. Gou Ma naturally knew the eldest brother's intentions, and also pretended to be embarrassed and said, "Eighteen, how do you think this should be judged?"
Ma Chuanliang had a hint of shame on his face, and arched his hand: "The castle lord is generous and benevolent, and the boys naturally appreciate it, I think we will win this time even if we are lucky." ”
"Haha, that's fine, let's do it. Gou Niu stroked his palms and laughed, and ordered, "Come on, prepare a wine banquet, I want to drink with everyone today." ”
"Yes!"
"Thank you, Lord Gou. Everyone thanked each other.
"There's dog meat to eat this time, right?" Jin Shu secretly asked Zhisun Yupeng.
As soon as the words fell, Gou Niu suddenly stopped, and said sharply with a cold face: "What did you say?"
The wild dogs around them gathered around, their blood-red eyes widened, their fangs bared and their mouths salivating, and their hairs stood on end, both in size and momentum, far from being comparable to those wild dogs who ambushed them in the desert.
Jin Shu hurriedly covered his mouth, but it was too late, the dogs' hearing was very sensitive, and how could this sentence escape their slender ears.
Seeing that Gou Niu was really angry, Ma Chuanliang hurriedly came over to persuade: "This brother is just joking, the castle master must not take it seriously." ”
Wu Ma Xin also hurriedly persuaded him, but Gou Niu's temper was very stubborn, and he interrupted them with a wave of his hand, and pointed at Jin Shu domineeringly: "My dog village never eats dogs. Even at the bottom of the mountain, I can't control the dog eaters, but the poachers who hunt the dogs have all been caught by me and buried alive under this dragon's blood tree, so I can't break the rules. You just have no virtue in your mouth, and you cut off your arm to apologize, and I will let them out of the mountain, otherwise you will have to step on my corpse. ”
The wild dogs gathered more and more around them, and they were densely packed. A wild dog in front of Gou Niu was the first to walk out of the queue, with long blue hair like brocade, eyes like copper bells, limbs like steel, ears like a sharp sword pointing to the sky, and a back like a tiger bending a bow.
