Xuan was originally very confident that he would "not be able to touch" to win the championship in this Chongyang insect battle, and the powerful "Tiger Idiot Xu Chu" was a competitor, and he didn't know if there were any other powerful green-backed fierce insects in these twelve groups, as for Zhou Xuan, who was at the general level or even at the insect king level, he was not worried, if he was lucky enough to encounter such a superb insect, it would be auspicious, and he would be relieved to lose.

Zhou Xuan's "untouchable" is in the "Hai group", and "Tiger idiot Xu Chu" is in the "Mao group", which will not be met for the time being.

At the beginning of the afternoon, the fifth round of insect battles of the "Hai Group" began, and the "untouchable" opponent was a yellow-backed insect, and Zhou Xuan gave it a grade at a glance - colonel level.

Originally, according to the rules of the insect war, only one person from each side was allowed to watch the battle except for the owner of the fighting insect, but the son of Lord Thorn Shi had a big face, and the "Golden Wind Society" specially arranged a separate small fighting insect room.

The Sun brothers were ready to come to see the funny scene of "untouchable" being bitten and fleeing, the two of them stood behind Zhou Xuan with a smile, watching the black-backed insect come out after the gate was opened, yo ho, still majestic, high-spirited and majestic!

I saw Zhou Xuan flick the rat grass on its tail, and "I can't touch it" suddenly screamed, and the high-pitched sound made everyone present startled, I really didn't expect this little insect to make such a loud sound!

The three idiots usually look indifferent and calm, but they will lean forward, stretch their necks and stare at the basin, and their idiots will be revealed.

Not to mention the four idiots. That look is simply doting!

The "untouchable" opponent - the colonel-level yellowback insect also flapped its wings and roared under the praising of its master, but it was obviously not as imposing as "untouchable", and its steps forward were also a little hesitant, and it seemed that it was very afraid of the "untouchable" of this black back.

"I can't touch it" I haven't fought for a few days, and I want to fight the most. Hearing the opponent chirping, he rushed up with a "brush" on the ground, picked up the big white and red teeth is a pincer, the yellow-backed insect didn't expect to be so fierce as "can't touch", and he didn't even have the routines of trying to top the head and touching his teeth.

"Can't touch it" chased the yellow-backed worm wildly, and the big tooth Huo Huo waved. The Sun brothers, who were watching the battle, opened their mouths wide, never expecting this to be the case!

Chased by a blackback worm, the owner of the yellowback insect felt very faceless, and went down to the grass to tease, wanting to encourage the yellowback worm's fighting spirit, but he didn't expect such a block, the blackback worm caught up, and the tail of the yellowback worm was a heavy mouth, and a big hole was cut with the tail and abdomen.

The yellow-backed insect spread its wings violently in pain, and its legs straightened out at the same time. Rolling in the basin, a moment of effort, and dying of pain!

There was no sound in the fighting insect room, only the violent victory "can't touch" out of the proud long roar.

After a while, the guys of the "Golden Wind Society" announced that "Mengdong of Xinhai" had won and rested for half an hour. The sixth round of competition will begin.

The owner of the yellow-backed insect went out with the corpse in a panic, and Zhou Xuan and the others waited on the spot, and came to get the fifty-seven thousand taels of silver back.

The Sun brothers looked left and right at "can't be touched", and didn't understand how a blackback insect could be so powerful?

Chen gradually smiled and said: "You don't want to think about what kind of person Zhou Qicha Gongzi is, he will send silver to the 'Golden Wind Society' for nothing!" Bringing this bug from Jiangzhou is here for this jackpot. ”

Zhou Xuan said: "Luck, luck, maybe the bug just now was sick." Either it was injured in the morning, and it was 'untouchable' and picked up a leak, haha. ”

The four idiots took out the lotus water and insect food they brought with them, so that they could not be touched. That careful, Zhou Xuan is also ashamed of himself.

This kind of cricket special lotus water is the four idiots according to Zhou Xuan, the stove by hand, boil a pot of water, spread a layer of lotus leaves on the steamer, and then buckle a large porcelain basin on the steamer, put a few bowls along the mouth of the basin, boil the water over the fire, the steam in the pot condenses into water on the inner wall of the porcelain basin, flows out, is connected in the bowl, and then bottled and sealed - Zhou Xuan said that crickets have a good appetite for drinking such water, can eat and sleep, are energetic, and can increase their combat effectiveness.

Although the three idiots and the four idiots are good at raising insects, how can they be so precise, even the crickets are so particular about drinking water, they are extremely impressed, and they feel that they have learned a lot by Zhou Xuan's side.

The day before yesterday, with Zhou Xuan's consent, the three idiots also studied the two exquisite and precious questions that Zhou Xuan rewarded him with his cousin, and the two brothers studied until late at night, feeling that life was very fulfilling, and when they were assassins, they were often empty, and only after watching for many days, finally finding a flaw, killing people and drifting away, they were as cool as immortals, but that opportunity was really few, not once a year, after all, the asking price of 10,000 taels of silver is not something ordinary people can afford!

At the beginning of the sixth round of insect battles in the "Hai Group", the "untouchable" opponent was still a colonel-level worm, and the result was conceivable, and the three bites were killed.

In the seventh round, it was still a colonel-level worm, and two bites were bitten to death.

Shen Shi three moments, the eighth round, the "Hai group" to compete for the first place, this win will have a hundred taels of silver lottery, the opponent is still a yellow-backed worm, but it is different from the first three yellow-backed worms, this is the most powerful colonel-level worm among the yellow-backed worms, the braincase is dark cyan, and the purple tooth pincers are still stained with the flesh and blood of the opponents in the previous rounds, and the fierce spirit is revealed.

This insect battle is a bit interesting, but it only took a few rounds for "can't touch" to press the opponent to the pelvic floor, and then throw it hard, that

The worm crawled up and didn't dare to open its teeth again.

The first place in the "Hai group" is "untouchable!" ”

The top 12 of the Hongzhou Chongyang Festival insect war have been decided, this time you can use your real name, no need to press the number, 12 signs are erected outside the gate of the Fighting Insect Hall, respectively, introducing the nicknames, physical characteristics, and group records of the twelve groups of champion insects, and they are extremely exaggerated and hyped, because tomorrow the top 12 battles can bet on gambling insects, and the "Golden Wind Society" wants to take the opportunity to make a lot of money, and the prize of 1,500 taels and the reward of 1,200 taels of the top 12 battlefields will be earned.

"Untouchable" caused a sensation with the record of three deaths and one injury and the appearance of black-backed flower wings, and there were many onlookers in front of the sign.

Zhou Xuan carefully looked at the introduction of the other eleven groups of champion insects, and now there are seven greenback insects. It seems that this time it is really full of fierce insects, and the champion of the "Yin Group" is "Tiger Idiot Xu Chu", it turns out that it is really this name!

According to the grouping order, the twelve earthly branches are hedged in pairs, the meridians are opposed, and the ugly is not opposed...... The "Hai Group" will compete with the first place in the "Si Group" for the top six seats. There is a reward of one hundred and fifty taels of silver.

The champion of the "Si Group", nicknamed "Yanmen Zhang Liao", is a green-backed worm, and the group record is three dead and five injured.

There is no way to see the insect now, and Zhou Xuan can't judge what level "Yanmen Zhang Liao" is?

The top 12 will be held on the day of the Chung Yeung Festival, with the top six in the morning and the top three in the afternoon, and the top three will be held on the 10th, starting with a lot. Lucky will have a bye and go straight to the final battle, while the other two will fight to the death for the remaining showdown spot.

—

If you want to reach the top and win the championship, you need both strength and luck, and the "Golden Wind Society" is really well versed in the psychology of gamblers!

There was no word that night.

Early in the morning of the Double Ninth Festival, the Sun brothers came to the small courtyard where Zhou Xuan lived, to visit the upcoming expedition "untouchable", the appetite of the two brothers has been completely lifted, and they are full of interest, and each brought a hundred taels of silver to prepare to bet. Of course, it is a bet on "untouchable" to win.

In the morning, the original team came to Baihuazhou again, the three islands in the middle of the lake are full of insect friends, gamblers, six insect battles at the same time, Zhou Xuan asked Laifu to bring this time and win a total of five hundred and fifty taels of silver respectively bet on "untouchable" and "tiger idiot Xu Chu" to win.

The four idiots didn't know where his gold was hidden, so they took out three hundred taels of gold and exchanged them for three thousand taels of silver to bet "I can't touch it!" ”

Zhou Xuan hurriedly stopped. said: "Fourth, you bet on the three thousand taels of silver, and we can't make any money if you win it, you see, you can't touch it, it's now eight to ten, and you bet on this big bet, and it immediately became ten to one, and it's not in vain to work hard to work hard!" ”

That last sentence worked. Only then did the four idiots pay out a thousand taels of silver to bet on "Tiger idiot Xu Chu." ”

Chen Ji also bet "untouchable" 300 taels of silver.

The odds are finally fixed at "untouchable" ten to six, "Tiger idiot Xu Chu" ten to five, it seems that there are many gamblers who are optimistic about "untouchable".

At three o'clock, the battle of the top 12 officially began. Six games at the same time, allowed to bet more than 100 taels of insect friends to watch the game, this Hongzhou is really rich, bet more than 100 taels of more than 300 people, it is estimated that the gambling silver is about 6, 70,000 taels, "Golden Wind Society" can earn at least 8 or 9,000 taels from it, this Hongzhou first insect society really makes money.

Zhou Xuan saw that "Yanmen Zhang Liao" was a major general-level insect, and his strength should be a little stronger than that of "Famous General Zhang He", because "Famous General Zhang He" fed more than half of the small honey pill, although the small honey pill can cheer up the crickets for a while, but it will damage the insects later, and the endurance will be weakened.

Zhou Xuan asked the four idiots to open their teeth for "untouchable", and Zhou Xuan's kung fu of the four idiots could not compare.

The two insects "sonorously", the big teeth collided together, and the "can't touch" was no longer as easy as yesterday, and it also knew it well, and it didn't attack recklessly, so it stalemate first.

The two worms came and went in the basin and closed their teeth, fighting for dozens of rounds, and the gamblers who bet on the two worms watched nervously outside the fence, shouting: "Wonderful!" ”

"Can't touch" the more brave the more you fight, the teething is fast and steady, flashing and moving, the health is abnormal, "Yanmen Zhang Liao" is gradually defeated, defeated and retreated, has been retreated to the side of the gate, there is no way to retreat, the two tail guns are flat against the basin wall, open teeth for intimidation.

"Can't touch" how can he be afraid of it, lightning-like grabbing the root of the opponent's teeth, shaking his head left and right, "Yanmen Zhang Liao" trembled all over, jumped up half an inch on the spot, and fled in a hurry after landing on the ground, leaving a white whisker stuck to the tip of the "untouchable" teeth.

With a "ding" sound, the guys of the "Golden Wind Society" announced that they "couldn't touch" the victory.

The four idiots jumped six feet high, and they were so happy that they didn't know how to express their inner happiness!

The three idiots, Chen Ji, the Sun brothers, and Laifu were all smiling, and even Yang Xiaofeng showed a delicate smile.

Winning this battle, Zhou Xuan and his gang all made a small fortune, and the four idiots earned the most, excluding the "Golden Wind Society" draw, three thousand taels of silver also made a net profit of 1,500 taels, Zhou Xuan's five hundred and fifty taels turned into eight hundred taels, and another one hundred and fifty taels, Chen Ji and the Sun brothers all had gains, and they were all beaming.

Everyone went to Chengtian Temple to eat again, and after the meal, they were in a hurry to come back to see who the opponent was in the afternoon. Each time you move forward

White flowers!

In order of the ground branch, the winner of the Sihai hedge will face the victory of the Chenxu hedge, and the morning is the victory of the "Chen Group", the champion of the "Chen Group" is actually a yellow-backed insect, and the yellow-backed insect actually broke into the top six, which is also unusual. But it's not surprising to think that the blackback worm also made it to the top six!

In the afternoon, the insect battle went unexpectedly smoothly, and the colonel-level yellow-backed insect was already extremely lucky to be able to bravely enter the top six, stumbling, and the insect body was injured in many places, how the enemy was like a wolf and a tiger "untouchable", and was almost bitten to death!

However, Zhou Xuan and they bet on "untouchable" to win this time, but they didn't win much money, because most of the insect friends are optimistic about "untouchable", and they lose two out of ten. Zhou Xuan only earned 80 taels of silver by betting 500 taels of silver, and he didn't earn much by betting on "Tiger Idiot Xu Chu", only 100 taels of silver, these two crickets that had gone through several rounds of vicious battles but were not damaged have become the center of attention of the audience.

After two days of insect fighting, Zhou Xuan made a profit of nearly 1,000 taels of silver, and there will be a jackpot of 1,500 taels tomorrow waiting to "be touched" to fight.

Today is the Double Ninth Festival, Chongyang ascending is indispensable, after the end of the insect war, the warm autumn sun is slightly oblique, Chen Ji has already made arrangements. The carriages and horses were already waiting by the East Lake, and they wanted to cross the river to Dengmeiling.

Everyone got on the horse one after another, but the four idiots said that they would go back to take care of it with "untouchable", and there would be an important decisive battle tomorrow, and the carriage and horses would not be bumpy.

This worm slave is really dutiful!

Zhou Xuan, Three Idiots, Yang Xiaofeng, Laifu, and Chen Ji's cousins. There were also two prostitutes from Chen's house, and five other family members carrying wine and food for the picnic feast and other necessary things for the night tour, riding horses and chariots from the pontoon bridge of His Excellency King Teng to cross the river and march towards Meiling.

Meiling was called Feihong Mountain in ancient times, at the end of the Western Han Dynasty, Mei Fu of Nanchang County resisted the dictatorship of Wang Mang, lived in seclusion here, and the descendants commemorated the high wind and bright festival in other places. Build the Meixian altar on the ridge, and build the Meixian Temple under the ridge, so it is renamed Meiling.

After more than an hour of driving, Zhou Xuan, Chen Ji and his group came to the eastern foot of Meiling before the sun set.

The Meiling Mountains are rugged. The mountains are stacked and green, the streams are meandering, the valleys are deep, the rocks are abrupt, and the beauty of the scenery is comparable with the Lushan Mountain in Jiangzhou.

Leaving a family member to guard the carriages and horses, the group began to climb the mountain.

Zhou Xuan saw that Yang Xiaofeng had narrow bow shoes, and he was afraid that she would not be able to climb, but he didn't expect her to have good foot strength, and she went up to Meilingtou, and only helped Zhou Xuandi's arm a few times on the way.

Come up to the ridge, the sunset sets, the twilight begins to shroud, the first quarter moon has hung in the sky, the clear light is everywhere, only to see that there are a lot of visitors on the ridge first, are all groups of three or five, sit on the ground, the cup is mixed, the game is fragrant, most of them are the children of the rich family of Hongzhou official eunuchs, insert dogs, wear chrysanthemums, call friends and friends, and prostitutes travel.

Chen Ji and these people all knew each other, and at this time, they only arched their hands, did not disturb each other, and enjoyed themselves.

Zhou Xuan and his group found an open field, spread a turquoise banquet, and everyone sat cross-legged on it, each of them also planted dogs and chrysanthemums, and drank a glass of chrysanthemum wine first.

Two prostitutes from Chen's house took the lead in performing their skills, one playing the pipa and the other playing the sheng, and the music fluttered in the wind, like a dream under the hooked moon and in the night.

Chen Ji smiled at the two courtesans and said, "You are not afraid of offering ugliness, the little girl is here, can you blow and play!" ”

Zhou Xuan has never appreciated Yang Xiaofeng playing a musical instrument, and the last time she asked her what kind of instrument she could do, she nodded everything, I don't know if it's true or not? Immediately asked the courtesan to give the pipa to Yang Xiaofeng and let her play a song.

Yang Xiaofeng is not humble, as soon as the pipa is in his arms, the whole person suddenly feels different, as if the general stepped on the war horse, the calligrapher raised the brush, the kind of selfless demeanor, the wonderful posture of the person and the pipa as one makes people quiet for a moment, and listen to the first sound she dialed out.

The sound of the pipa is like spring ice melting, like a pearl falling on a jade plate...... Zhou Xuan was fascinated by what he heard, and the skills of the pipa girl on the Xunyang River described by Bai Juyi were nothing more than that.

As soon as the song was played, the sound of color was everywhere, and the well-dressed ladies around were also amazed.

Chen Ji said: "The best thing about Miss Xiaofeng is not her musical instrument, but her singing voice, but it is very rare for her to open her voice, let's see if Brother Zhou can let her open her voice tonight." ”

Zhou Xuan looked at Yang Xiaofeng and said with a smile: "Little girl, today is the Double Ninth Festival, we want to sing a song, I will drink a song first, throw bricks and lead jade, this is a slang song in my hometown-" cleared his throat and sang:

"Hey—

The moon comes out bright and bright and bright -

I think my brother is deep in the mountains—"

……

In ancient poems, there are often works that describe missing husbands and lovers from the perspective of female characters, so Zhou Xuan's love songs in this woman's tone did not make Chen Ji feel strange, but deeply intoxicated.

Xiao Feng's beautiful big eyes are like two deep pools, reflecting the moonlight, and her eyes are like water, just when Zhou Xuan finished singing the last sentence with a smile on her face and was about to speak, her cherry lips opened, and a wisp of pure and beautiful singing rose from the depths of her throat, looping back and forth, rising higher and higher, like a ribbon fluttering in the sky, and like a brilliant fireworks suddenly blooming in the night sky-

Zhou Xuan was dumbfounded: "This is the dolphin sound, I heard the dolphin sound!" ”
