Volume 3 The Two Capitals 42
The Huajun chess warrior returned to Mochou Lake victoriously, and met the three returns of Jiangzhou Xu Thorn History, the three brothers talked about cockfighting, and their eyebrows flew and danced, and their mouths were like a river.
Zhou Xuan and the four idiots followed behind to listen to the three brothers, it was very interesting, after listening for a while, I learned that the Lantern Festival cockfighting competition was also coming to an end, and tomorrow was the final decisive battle, Xue Chang of the Wei Wangfu was really powerful, his cockfighting won thirty games in a row, and he broke into the battle for the championship, and Xu Sangongzi's chicken was defeated under Xue Chang's chicken claws.
The four idiots asked: "I wonder who the other chicken warrior who participated in the decisive battle is?" ”
The boss Xu Duan said: "It's a little monk." ”
The second Xu Yong said: "It is rare for a monk to play chicken. ”
The third Xu Shu said: "It is rare for a monk to play with chickens so well. ”
The four idiots muttered, "It's a monk!" Didn't the fifth brother come this time? ”
Zhou Xuan asked: "Three Xu Gongzi, what is the monk's legal name?" ”
The boss Xu Duan said: "That little monk has a lot of Dharma names. ”
The second Xu Yong said: "It's not a lot, it's only five." ”
The boss Xu Duan said: "Five is not much, how many law names do you have?" ”
The second Xu Yong said: "I'm not a monk, why should I have a Dharma name?" If I were a monk, I would take a hundred Dharma names, and that would be called many. ”
The four idiots moved in their hearts and asked, "What does that monk look like?" ”
The three brothers did not describe the appearance of others, but said: "A monk, a little monk, a little white and tender little monk, the Dharma name is - color emptiness, emptiness, thinking emptiness, walking emptiness, knowing emptiness, every day in turn, he can call which Dharma name he likes." ”
After that, the three brothers went back to their residence, saying that they would go early tomorrow to grab a good seat and watch the cockfighting duel between the little monk and Xue Chang.
Zhou Xuan looked at the four idiots and asked, "Your fifth brother didn't come this time, did you?" ”
The fourth idiot said: "I'll go and see tomorrow, the fifth brother likes to give himself a lot of names, is the fifth brother going to be a monk?" Last year, he was also a Taoist priest of Zhongnan Mountain. ”
Zhou Xuanqi said: "Ah, all of a sudden, a Taoist priest and a monk? Interesting! Tomorrow, we will follow the three Xu Gongzi to see what is going on. ”
Return to your accommodation. Xiaoxiang served him to bathe, and then went to see the Lin sisters, no matter how late it was, Zhou Xuan had to go to the "Yangchun Baixue Hall" to report, if he didn't go for a day, Lin Hanyun would come to Xingshi early the next morning to ask for guilt.
Zhou Xuan asked Lin Hanyun if he wanted to go to Xiangrufang tomorrow to watch the cockfighting final?
Of course Lin Hanyun wants to go, if there is excitement, she can be missing, and instigated Fairy Jingyi and said, "Sister, let's go and see it tomorrow." It's fun, the chickens are very clean, and they don't stink. ”
Fairy Jingyi shook her head and said: "Female Dao Xuanmen, isn't it a joke to watch cockfighting." ”
Zhou Xuan said with a smile: "Sister Daoyun always says that she is a member of the Xuanmen. Afraid of this, afraid of that, worried about the prejudice of the laity, since he is a member of the Xuanmen, he should get rid of all shackles. Arbitrarily free is, it means that one of the two chicken warriors in the decisive battle tomorrow is actually a monk, this monk is very strange. There are five Dharma names, which are color emptiness, receiving emptiness, thinking emptiness, walking emptiness, and knowing emptiness, haha. Definitely an interesting monk. I'll have to see you tomorrow. ”
Fairy Jingyi said: "See, receive, think, act, and know." This is the five aggregates that Buddhism talks about, and the five aggregates are empty. Survive all the misery - this monk is playing with chickens? ”
Zhou Xuan said with a smile: "Everything is empty, it's just fun, masters often play games, Sister Daoyun will go and see it tomorrow." ”
Zhou Xuan returned to Meixiang Xiaoyuan, did not enter his own door, went upstairs to Yang Xiaofeng's room, Xiaoxiang couldn't care about him now, and Xiaoxiang felt that he didn't know anything when he was at the Jingyi Fairy Party last time, so he felt inferior, so he worshiped Yang Xiaofeng as a teacher, learned to play the flute, and had to turn a blind eye to the adultery between the master and his uncle.
Between the beds, Yang Xiaofeng was obedient to Zhou Xuan, and she tasted love for the first time, thinking that what Zhou Xuan wanted her to do was what she should do, so she didn't resist and fiddled with him.
Zhou Xuan was very cool, and said in his heart: "I understand, this is training." ”
On the morning of the eighth day of the first month of February, Zhou Xuan got up and took two domestic prostitutes and a maid ring to practice the five poultry operas, and the good atmosphere of the Zhou Mansion should be carried forward.
The four idiots came over and said, "Master, the three Xu Gongzi have already left, and they are not waiting for us at all." ”
Zhou Xuan smiled and said, "Let's go by ourselves, Xiaoxiang, do you go to see the two Miss Lin?" ”
At three o'clock, a group of people rode horses and hugged a carriage out of the Fenghua Military Residence, on which sat Jingyi Fairy and Lin Hanyun, along with Chen Ji and the Sun brothers, Chen Ji because his uncle Chen went to Shouzhou Governor's side, so he also moved to live on the shore of Mochou Lake, and it was lively together.
When I came to the largest cockfighting hall in Xiangrufang, everyone was dumbfounded, only to see a sea of people, shoulder to shoulder, the cockfighting hall that can accommodate 3,000 people was full, and many people were suffering from not being able to go in to watch the battle outside, and they were so anxious that they turned around.
The four idiots exclaimed: "No wonder the three sons of the Xu family have to come early in the morning, and they can't even enter when they are late!" ”
Lin Hanyun shouted: "Brother Zhou Xuan, think of a way, we want to watch the monk play chicken." ”
Laifu shook his arms, and said in a daze: "Uncle, let Laifu squeeze a way in front, and Uncle and Miss Lin follow." ”
Zhou Xuan said with a smile: "Joke, let the two delicate young ladies squeeze these people together, what kind of system!" Follow me. Zhou Xuan led everyone around the main entrance of the cockfighting hall, turned around for half a circle to find the back door, this side is relatively deserted, there are some luxury carriages parked outside the door, and the family members are standing by the carriage.
Zhou Xuan swaggered into the back door, was stopped by two chicken restaurant guys, and said politely: "May I ask if your nobleman has a VIP card of King Wei?" ”
Zhou Xuan heard Gu Changshi say last time, Xue Chang sheltered the Wei Wangfu and raised chickens for the King of Wei, it seems that this cockfighting hall is the real estate of the King of Wei, and immediately smiled loudly, showed the fish patrol charm given by Xiao Zhou on his belt, and said: "See." "He used to use fake tickets to watch football games, but this time it's a repeat of the same trick.
Maybe the shape of this fish patrol charm is too different from the VIP card of Wei Wangfu, and the two chicken restaurant guys didn't buy it, saying: "It's not this kind of brand." ”
Zhou Xuan said: "My brand can enter and leave the palace at will, can't I even enter this chicken house?" Let your stewards come. ”
Seeing that Zhou Xuanzun's aura was extraordinary, several young ladies who followed behind him did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly invited the steward, and the steward did not recognize the fish patrol talisman, and was about to ask Zhou Xuanzun's surname, when a group of people came behind, the steward hurriedly greeted him, nodded and said: "General Huangfu, please inside." ”
The man known as General Huangfu was in his forties. Tall, half a head taller than Zhou Xuan, with a yellow beard under his chin, his eyes were ejaculating, looking forward to his self-righteousness, he tilted his head and glanced at Zhou Xuan, and took the three servants and strode in with his head held high.
Only then did the steward come over and ask Zhou Xuan's name. Zhou Xuan was also not polite, and reported the name of the Marquis of Xinzhou, but the steward did not recognize Zhou Xuan, but he had heard of the Marquis of Xinzhou. The queen's nephew, hurriedly smiled and said: "It turned out to be the Marquis of Zhou Guo, the villain has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, please Hou Ye." ”
Zhou Xuan accompanied Fairy Jingyi and Lin Hanyun in front. The four idiots and Chen Ji followed closely behind.
The mighty and majestic Huangfu general heard Zhou Xuan's answer with the steward, and then stood aside and waited for Zhou Xuan to come over and arched his hand: "It turned out to be the Marquis of Xinzhou, and he is polite." ”
Zhou Xuan was the most polite, and hurriedly replied: "I arrived in Jinling at the beginning of the next year." I don't know the general's surname? ”
General Huangfu said with a smile: "In the lower Huangfu Jixun, I wonder if the Hou Ye has ever heard of a cheap name?" ”
Zhou Xuan remembered that he went to see the Hou Ye's Mansion a few days ago, and the empty and uninhabited luxury mansion was this Huangfu Jixun Land. This person is General Wei of Zheng Erpin. He took charge of the military power of Jinling. It is said that it was King Jing's party, and he immediately smiled: "It turned out to be General Huangfu." After the famous family, I admire it very much, I didn't think that General Huangfu is also a chicken friend, haha, a friend, General Huangfu, please. ”
Zhou Xuan and Huangfu Jixun entered the cockfighting hall side by side, only to see that on the field within a radius of hundreds of steps, a cockfighting arena was enclosed with a wooden fence, and the two fighting cocks were flying and jumping, with iron beaks and sharp claws, and the fight was very fierce.
The four idiots glanced at the sidelines of the field, but did not see the monk, and asked the guy in the chicken hall, and the guy replied: "This is the third or fourth finals, and the decisive battle between the chicken general Xue Chang and the monk who wants to be empty has not yet begun." ”
The fourth idiot nodded, and said in his heart: "Today's land is an empty number, and when it comes out, will the fifth brother know at a glance." ”
Around the cockfighting fence, there are more than ten low tents, all of which are high-ranking officials and nobles who love cockfighting in the Tang Kingdom, sitting in the tent to watch the cockfighting at close range, which can be seen much more clearly than the layers of spectators in the venue.
Huangfu Jixun invited Zhou Xuan to his tent to watch the cockfight, but Zhou Xuan politely refused, saying that the two young ladies of the Fenghua Festival envoy were here, and it was inconvenient to disturb General Huangfu.
Huangfu Jixun said: "I am very close to the Hou Ye in the Xia, and I will invite the Hou Ye to drink another day." ”
Zhou Xuan smiled: "It must be disturbed." ”
Zhou Xuan asked Laifu to give twenty taels of silver to the steward of the chicken house, and asked them to quickly set up a tent, spread red felt, and invite Fairy Jingyi and Lin Hanyun into the tent.
Fairy Jingyi watched the two chickens with black feathers and red crests rolling and pecking in the fence, their chirps were terrible, their feathers were flying, and they were splashed on the sand with blood stains, and quickly lowered their eyebrows, and couldn't bear to look at it again.
Lin Hanyun watched it with relish and said: "This cockfight is more intense than the fighting insect, fun, fun!" ”
Fairy Jingyi shook her head.
Zhou Xuan said: "In Australia, there is also a boxing match, two people waving their fists on the field, and whoever knocks him down wins. ”
The four idiots said: "Isn't it just a ring, there are also in the Tang Kingdom, and it is especially popular in the Northland." ”
Zhou Xuan said with a smile: "In the future, I will also organize a battle of martial arts masters in the world, and the vital parts of the human body will wear soft armor and cannot harm human lives." ”
The four idiots sneered: "Where can the soft armor block the punch of the real master, compete in the ring, and if you don't die, you will be injured." ”
Fairy Jingyi couldn't bear to see a cockfight, and heard Zhou Xuan say that there was going to be a ring match to make people fight for their lives, so he said: "Brother Xuan, it's good to fight insects and play chess, don't play those bloody places." ”
Zhou Xuanxin said: "The ring competition is the most enthusiastic, the Tang Kingdom wants to strengthen the army, this ring competition is indispensable, and it is necessary to cultivate the martial style of the people of the Tang Kingdom." He said, "Okay, I heard Sister Daoyun." ”
Brother Xuan listened to her like this, and Fairy Jingyi was very happy.
The two chickens on the field fought for two quarters of an hour, and this kind of cockfighting was rather than retreating, and the battle scene was no less tragic than that of gladiators fighting to the death.
However, Zhou Xuan is not very interested in cockfighting, and this time he mainly came to accompany the four idiots to find the five idiots.
The third and fourth decisive battles ended with a chicken being pecked alive, and the owner of the dead chicken hugged the chicken and cried bitterly.
Before the championship battle, the cockfighting hall also invited a team of female performers to perform a hundred juggling plays, and those female dancers were tied up with big sleeves one by one, wearing tight poor trousers, and dressed like Buddhist goddesses.
The four idiots were anxious, standing outside the tent and looking, waiting for the empty monk to appear.
Xue Chang, known as the "chicken general", took the lead on the field, walking alone to the center of the field, followed by a huge fighting, this chicken weighs at least nine pounds, stretches its neck and is half a person high, and its two corns are as black as paint.
The audience is full of ***, the worship is endless, the wind of cockfighting in Jinling is really prosperous, and the real general has never been so welcome.
Suddenly, the audience was quiet, thousands of pairs of eyes looked at the northwest corner of the venue, only to see a bald monk wearing a gray cloth floating into the room, this monk's skin is whiter than the big girl, it is really a white and tender monk, and then look closely, the monk's feet are actually stepping on the back of a red feather chicken, the chicken seems to be extremely powerful, carrying a monk is still walking like flying.
This scene is really weird, so the earth is stepped on a chicken by a person, and that chicken can still fly!
Lin Hanyun was pleasantly surprised: "Sister, look, the monk is out!" She also ran outside the tent and stood beside Zhou Xuan, so that she could look more carefully.
Zhou Xuan asked the four idiots: "Fourth, do you recognize this monk?" ”
The fourth idiot couldn't help but shake his head, with a smile on his face, and said, "The fifth brother loves to show off!" ”
Zhou Xuanxi said: "Ah, it's really the fifth child, it's so interesting!" Is he doing light work? ”
