Chapter 3: Siu Yat Rises to the Throne (1)
If the battle campaign is for the most rigid and yang act in the world, then the soldier is the strongest man in the world, and the way men establish friendship between them must be a little weird, it may be fists, it may be spirits, and it may even be steel knives! On the battlefield, between the enemy and me, you fight to the death, scarred by each other, but after the war, they meet each other with a smile and enmity, and there are not a few people who have become friends of life and death, this is a man!
In the barracks, as long as your fists are hard enough, or your alcohol is good enough, then it is easy to make a lot of friends, it just so happens that Da Niu and Ma Liu are not only extraordinary in martial arts, but also have been following Xiao Yi for a long time, although they are not drunk for a thousand cups, but they can definitely be called veterans of the 'alcohol' battlefield.
After beating a group of people with a fist, and drinking a group of people with another meal, the names of Brother Niu and Brother Ma quickly spread in the camp, of course, this is just everyone's honorific title for them on the surface, and those who were scared by them beating them with their fists secretly called them --- 'Niu Tou Ma Mian' behind their backs.
Since coming to the barracks, the two have never stopped feasting every day, some invite them to drink, some invite them to coach martial arts, of course, the most is to find them to help in boxing and fighting, Xiao Yi did not stop this, but was happy to see it, people, especially soldiers, need a lot of friends, not to mention that the two can also bring back a lot of various information from the outside, in such an era of communication blockage, this provides a great help for Xiao Yi to understand the world's major events.
Raise a glass to drink, this is already one of Xiao Yi's few pleasures, because there is no suitable drinking friend, so now the only remaining fun has become very limited, at noon that day, just as he was about to continue to pass the time with a wine glass, Ma Liu, who had been wandering outside all day long, suddenly ran back, pulled him up and ran out, and said incoherently: "Hurry up, Xiao Lang, there is a lively look...... Juding ,...... They're lifting ......."
Follow Ma Liu all the way to the east side of the barracks, there is a dilapidated temple here, because of the lack of people to take care of it, it has been deserted, the cobwebs are dense everywhere, the birds are rampant, and the statues of the gods inside are also very old, but they still exude a quaint and desolate atmosphere, which makes people dare not look directly, and from the plaque that has become gray and incomplete, it turns out that this is a Chiyou Temple.
Chiyou is the chief of the Dongyi tribe in ancient times, named Yang, and called Chiyou; The ability is extraordinary, after the world is chaotic, the tribes on the land are fighting endlessly, and finally the Yellow Emperor got the help of gods and men in the battle of Zhuolu, and finally defeated the fierce rival Chiyou, becoming the co-master of the world. After the death of Chiyou, the Yellow Emperor felt brave, let people draw the image of Chiyou, and intimidated the world, the world thought that Chiyou was immortal, and lived in the shogunate of the Yellow Emperor, so "all the countries in all directions are subdued"! Because Chi You is good at fighting, he is respected as the god of war and the master of soldiers by later generations, and temples are built everywhere, and they are worshiped by incense at four o'clock!
When the ancients went on a campaign, they could not worship the Yellow Emperor or the Yan Emperor, but they could not fail to worship Xuan You, especially the soldiers, and regarded Xuan You as their ancestor, and its status in the hearts of the Chinese can be seen.
Yanmen Pass is located in the land of four wars, and the perennial killing and punishment are continuous, so people also built a Chiyou temple here, praying for the protection of the god of war, but unfortunately, with the passage of time, coupled with the continuous war, the temple has become dilapidated. In front of the temple there is a high platform, on which a huge bronze tripod is enshrined, the body of the tripod is huge and heavy, the color is simple and deep, although it has also gone through the wind and rain and swords, but it is not damaged at all, at this time a lot of people have gathered around the giant tripod, are making noise, arguing about something.
After listening to it for a while, Xiao Yi figured out what happened; It turned out that this group of energetic and idle young men all day long, after a few fights divided into several gangs, but each other is still no one to obey anyone, and then someone proposed, saying that there is a bronze tripod in front of the Chiyou Temple, if anyone can lift the tripod, it is a real hero, a real hero, is the big brother of everyone in this barracks, and the result is that this group of people really came to lift the tripod.
Since Yu became the co-master, divided the world into Kyushu, so that the Kyushu state pastor contributed bronze, cast Jiuding, symbolizing Kyushu, the famous mountains and rivers of Kyushu in the country, strange things engraved in the body of Jiuding, with a tripod symbolizing a state, and Jiuding concentrated in the capital of the Xia Dynasty. Since then, the tripod has become a national treasure, a ritual of sacrifice, a symbol of power, and from ancient times to the present, the power of the tripod, except for the one who 'pulls out the mountain and covers the world!' 'The overlord Xiang Yu has not yet had a second person. If it is said that for scholars to convince people with virtue, then for this group of warriors who lick blood with knives, convincing people with force is the best and most direct means, Xiao Yi is very interested in the matter of lifting the top and standing up, after all, if you want to convince these unruly Yan Zhao rangers, you must completely defeat them in strength and martial arts, in order to convince them, but he is not in a hurry to get out, but with Ma Liu, hidden in the crowd, quietly watching.
At this time, the field was a nine-foot-tall, majestic bearded man, shirtless, pimple muscles on the body were raised high, obviously a powerful man, I saw him first circle around the giant ding, and then stretched out his hand to pat the ding, his face immediately showed a trace of hesitation, obviously very afraid of this behemoth, but the time has come to this, so many brothers around to watch, can only bite the bullet, man, earn is not a face!
I saw him grab the bronze tripod body with both hands, roared, his arms exerted together, the muscles on his body were bulging layer by layer, because of excessive force, his face was suffocated, and beads of sweat the size of beans kept rolling down from his body, but under such power, the heavy giant tripod was only slightly lifted by one foot, and with the continuation of the rear force, it fell with a bang, raising a large area of dust......
Looking at the bearded man who was sitting on the ground panting loudly, there was a commotion around him, there were those who praised it, there were those who ridiculed, and more of them were roaring and screaming, venting their excessive energy, one person failed, and the interest of the rest of the people became higher. Soon there were a few conceited and brave men who challenged in a row, but unfortunately none of them succeeded, and they couldn't even lift one foot of the giant tripod.
Finally, in a 'Niu Ye' cry, the big bull appeared, looking at the continuous cheers around him, he knew that the big cow in the last two days in the barracks is not bad, and the previous few people, the big cow is also shirtless, because of the reason for forging in the blacksmith shop all the year round, the strong body has a lot of scars burned out of fireworks, like plum blossoms all over the body, but it sets off him more powerful, majestic.
Unlike those who came up and relied on brute force, the big bull first circled around Chi You Ding, after several trials, he did not directly grab the tripod foot, but grabbed the tripod ear, shook it a few times, when the tripod body shook slightly, violently exerted force, the heavy copper tripod immediately raised a foot under the action of this huge force, leaned towards his position, at the same time, the bull borrowed the strength to fight, half squatted down and took advantage of the situation to grab a foot, roared, the eyes were wide open, so that the whole body of strength was lifted upward, only to hear a heavy muffled soundThis giant tripod that has been sleeping here for hundreds of years finally slowly got off the ground, and the surrounding suddenly sounded a cheer, and everyone shouted loudly to cheer for the big bull, but unfortunately, when the foot just reached the knee position of the big bull, it fell back with a bang, and the big bull who was exhausted of strength also sat on the ground with a butt, panting like a cow, sweating like rain, obviously out of strength......
A sigh immediately sounded around them, shouting one after another, it's a pity! Pity! But then the cheers of the crowd sounded, after all, it was the best result at the moment to be able to lift Chi Youding's three legs off the ground, and even those who usually fought with the big bull had to stretch out their thumbs at this time to admit that this son was indeed amazing.
