Fifteen days later, the summer solstice.

The solstice of the day is long, the shadow of the sun is short, and the solstice is the extreme, so it is called the summer solstice.

The summer solstice is also the day of the year when the sun is at its highest at noon. The summer solstice belongs to both the 24 solar terms and the 4 seasons and 8 festivals, and there is a custom of worshipping gods and worshipping ancestors. Heaven and earth are the foundation of life, and the ancestors are the foundation of kind.

Wu Ma Xin and the young scholar looked for direction again, entering the familiar fog.

Twelve old monsters arrived. This time, it's a crane head and a fat body.

Wu Ma Xin gasped, how could he change people? Wouldn't it be in vain to practice digging sand by himself?

The young man secretly said to Wu Ma Xin: "Brother Wu Ma, this time is good...... If you look at his physical shape, it is a good sign, as the saying goes: white and fat, full of hope. ”

I'm dizzy!

He shook the crane's head, laughed and said, "Sure enough, he is worthy of being a descendant of the Wuma family, and he does not obey the mandate of heaven, haha." ”

"Hangs and seniors. Wu Ma clasped his fists and saluted, "I don't know what we are betting on today?"

"Hehe," he said with a smile, "than eating fish." ”

"What, eat fish?" Wu Ma Xin looked confused...... There's anything more than this, I'm dizzy.

It seems that this half month has really been in vain!

He smiled and said: "This is the rule here, you come to challenge, then the rules are set by us." If you don't want to compare, you can go back now. With that, he laughed contemptuously.

In fact, he didn't want to let go of the competition, after all, he had been lonely for too long, and he finally had someone to have a good time with him, how could he miss it. He also knows in his heart that the more you stimulate a person like Wu Ma Xin, the more you can arouse his fighting spirit.

Sure enough, Wu Ma clenched his fists and said: "Everything depends on the seniors." ”

"That's right. He jumped up excitedly, and the other eleven people also craned their necks, ready to watch the show.

He stretched out his hand and paddled on the ground, and suddenly a small river appeared, and dense schools of fish jumped out of the water, jumping happily. Zhou Mi lit a pillar of incense at the back and said, "With the time limit of one pillar of incense, the one who eats more fish wins." Note that there should not be a trace of fish meat on the bones, otherwise it will be invalid. Do you hear me?"

"Clear. ”

"Understood. ”

"Okay," Zhou Mi's raised right hand fell suddenly, "begin." ”

Wu Ma Xin inserted his hands into the water and grabbed a fish with one hand. The live fish rolled around in his hands, but he still couldn't escape the sharp mouth of the witch horse's heart. As soon as the fish passed between its teeth, there was only one fish bone left, without a trace of flesh. Wu Ma Xin tossed the two fish bones aside and continued to grab the fish.

Yan He was not as troublesome as Wu Ma Xin, he directly inserted the crane head into the water, and with a long pointed beak, the crane head came out of the water and spit out more than a dozen fish bones to the ground.

This crane's head really didn't grow in vain. Wu Ma was secretly surprised in his heart, if he continued like this, he was not an opponent at all.

Wu Ma Xin spread his five fingers apart, and he held four fish in each hand, which was obviously much faster than just now. But he still stuck the crane's head into the water, and did not change his tricks.

The young scholar shook his head secretly, silently calculating in his heart.

A pillar of incense was gone, and a pile of fish bones had been piled up around Wu Ma Xin's side, and there were two or three hundred of them. And there is more than twice as much, and the winner is decided.

He slapped his hands on the ground with excitement and opened his sharp mouth to emit a bunch of weird scales. The other eleven old monsters also clapped their palms and laughed to the rhythm, which was festive.

"Ahem," said the boy, tugging at the sleeve of the witch's heart, "he's singing." ”

Wu Ma was stunned, Duanguo has no music, so naturally there is no such thing as singing. He pricked up his ears and listened carefully. The young scholar explained: "Music is a very magical thing, it only has a few simple beats, but it can make people's hearts resonate, or joy, or sadness, or longing, or passion...... Tsk, this is the voice of God. ”

Looking at the intoxicated appearance of the young scholar, Wu Ma's heart couldn't help but feel depressed, which end of the day are you?

Wu Ma Xin pulled the boy out of the fog again, the music behind him continued, and Wu Ma Xin's arrival made them very happy.

The young scholar said: "Brother Wu Ma, let's continue to drink, the next solar term will be a small summer, or fifteen days later." ”

Wu Ma's heart held his forehead for a while, it seemed that he had calculated that he would not admit defeat.

If you can use your courage, then Wu Ma Xin will not lose to the guy with the crane head at all, but in that enchantment, everything is only based on the strength of the body, and Wu Ma Xin is indeed convinced.

After three cups, Wu Ma Xin asked, "Is there a river in the book?"

"Yes. ”

"Are there fish in the river?"

"That's nature. ”

"Good. ”

Wu Ma Xin hit the river with his palm, the river suddenly waves, the fish were held up by the water, Wu Ma Xin opened his mouth and bited, and instantly ate a row of fish meat, leaving only a pile of fish bones on the bank.

Fifteen days later, Xiaoxiao.

Dou Zhi Xin, the sun reaches the ecliptic longitude of one hundred and five degrees, a small summer. Summer, that is, heat, and small heat is a small heat, and it is not very hot. It means that the weather is starting to get hot, but it's not the hottest yet. Since the beginning of the summer, it has entered the season with the most thunderstorms.

I'm afraid the next project won't be eating fish again, haha.

Sure enough, what came out this time was pure, and the project to be compared was to shoot snakes.

Wu Ma Xin has some bottom in his heart this time. He has practiced silver needles since he was a child, which is a skill of his hometown, and even in this prohibition, it will still not have the slightest effect.

"I conceded. Wu Ma clenched his fists and said with confidence. The old monsters looked at each other and said in their hearts: Why does this guy seem to have a lot of bottom in his heart?

Zhen Chun lifted the bow on his back upward, then took out a cloth bag, opened the mouth of the bag, and hundreds of small golden snakes rushed out, instantly surging in all directions. This snake seems to be very spiritual, and it has already sensed that the aura is wrong, and the two people in front of him are definitely not here to play hide and seek with them.

Jiaobai shouted: "Begin." ”

Wu Ma Xin jumped up, the silver needle in his hand flew out like raindrops, and the little snake was pierced by the silver needle for seven inches, unable to move at all. He also jumped to his feet, pulling the bowstring in his hand. He didn't use arrows, but fired them out of thin air, and his fingers seemed to dance on the bowstring, which seemed slight, but the little snake on the ground fell in response, and he hit it with a hundred shots.

Eleven old monsters craned their necks and watched, looking nervous. This witch horse heart also has two strokes.

A bag of golden snakes was no effort for these two people, and the battle had already been resolved between the lightning and the fire.

Zhen Chun put the bow back on his back, and laughed: "I didn't expect that the descendants of Wuma are also experts in this archery, it seems that you and I are not the same." ”

Wu Ma clenched his fists and saluted: "I have learned silver needles since I was a child, but I have some experience." ”

"Haha, let's see the results. ”

"Yes, Senpai. ”

Jiao Bai twisted his two crossed legs to check, but Hun Ya hurriedly stopped him: "I said Brother Jiao, just your legs and feet, don't do this hard work, when you go all over this circle, I'm afraid it's time for the next solar term." I'll do it anyway. ”

"You!" Jiao Bai's face turned pale with anger, "Why don't we each count one point." You will count the pure shots, and I will count the silver needles of the witch horse boy to see who can check it quickly. ”

"Well," laughed Hun Ya, "don't say I'm bullying you." ”

"Cut! Maybe who's bullying whom. ”

After that, the two began to split up. Although Hun Ya's legs and feet are better than Jiaobai, a good piece of sternum bulges from his front chest, causing his body to lean back at an angle, and it is really difficult to see the ground clearly. Jiaobai knew that his legs and feet were not dexterous, so he raised his left foot and hooked it on his right leg, and only used his right foot to jump. Sure enough, it's a lot faster.

The young scholar bit his lip when he saw it, obviously there are so many people with good chests and legs, why do you have to send these two disabled people up?

The other ten old monsters also seemed to regret a little, and they all waited for a while. Wu Ma Xin was very impatient, but he didn't dare, and he didn't want to show it.

Finally, the two of them completed the points almost at the same time.

Witch Horse Heart, one hundred and sixty-eight golden snakes.

Pure, one hundred and sixty-eight golden snakes.

The two actually played to a draw.

Jiao Bai looked at Hun Ya with a proud look. Not to be outdone, Hun Ya also returned a sharp look. The two were also tied.

Wu Ma clenched his fists and said: "Seniors, how should a tie be determined?

"Haha. Shousan said, "That's not necessary, since it's a tie, it's our victory, so you better go back......"

The young scholar shouted, "Why? Why did you win the draw?"

"Well," said Shousan, "because this is our territory, we are the defenders, and you have come from afar to challenge us on our territory, so you are the attackers." According to the rules of Shenzhou, the attacker must win to win, and the defender wins if he loses or draws. After that, he looked at the young man again and said, "You are full of poetry and books, so naturally you shouldn't fail to understand this truth." ”

"Uh......" the teenager's brain raced through searching. He is right, Shenzhou does stipulate this.

Wu Ma Xin saw that his expression had already understood eight or nine points, and he hugged his fists and saluted: "I am still not good at learning, but fortunately, my predecessors accepted to make a draw, and I should be sentenced to failure." ”

"Boy," said Zang Chun, "we are born with archery skills, and as we get older, our archery skills become more sophisticated, and at my age, we have already entered the realm of transformation. You can even make a tie with me, it seems that your ability is not low, and in time, you will definitely surpass me. ”

"The seniors are serious. Wu Ma clasped his fists and saluted calmly. He didn't expect that this time they didn't sing and dance, but they were very peaceful. The twelve old monsters had one or two admiration in their eyes, and two or two were relieved.

Wu Ma Xin hadn't taken a good look at his silver needle for a long time. As the ancient aura re-condensed his bones, he had more realizations, and this silver needle should also be connected with his body.

On the fifteenth day, the heat was great.

Great heat refers to the extreme heat. The big heat is hotter than the small heat, and it is the hottest solar term of the year, and the "humid heat and steaming" reaches its peak at this time. Characteristics of the summer heat: high temperature and extreme heat, frequent thunderstorms and typhoons.

Small heat and big heat, steamed and boiled
