Thirty-nine tyrants

Thirty-nine         High-Battle

In the tenth year of Xianfeng in the Qing Dynasty, in Liujia Village, the foot of Lianhua Mountain in Dengfeng County, Henan Province, there was a farmer named Liu and Zhang. He was specialized in raising chickens. He raised hundreds of chickens. There was a rooster in the flock, weighing more than nine kilograms and nearly two feet tall. He was red-crowned and bright feathered, with a big head and wide claws, bright eyes and pecking. He cried loudly, and was proud and proud. When the chickens fought, the roosters had no opponents and were defeated by their pecking. He was the overlord of the flock. Liu Zhang simply killed the roosters and kept them to breed. All the eggs they planted hatched into chicks. Liu Zhang regarded it as a treasure and named it "Xiongba". Everyone in the neighbors and villages knew it.

After the Jingzhe, villagers saw two red lights appearing at the top of Lianhua Mountain, one is more than six feet tall and the other is nearly five feet tall. Two red lights winding around, like two fire dragons. Every morning when the rooster crows, they escape. After the frost falls, they pass away and disappear, and everyone is not sure why.

After the spring of the year, when the chickens were hatching, Liu Zhang laid more than ten eggs. This time, he hatched only one male chick, and the rest became fur eggs. Liu Zhang was extremely upset, as if there were ominous signs, and he was depressed all day long.

One day, a merchant from Fanbian arrived in Liujia Village. In the year of Shang Tiande, he had blonde hair, blue eyes, yellow beard, deep eye sockets, and high nose bridge. He was a white man. He had been doing business in China for many years and was fluent in Chinese. He was interested in Xiongba and the newly hatched chicks, and wanted to buy them. He asked Liu Zhang if he would sell them? Although Liu Zhang was worried that Xiongba was useless in his old age, he had no intention of selling them. So he joked, "If the noble merchant was willing to pay a large price, how could I not sell them?" The foreign merchant asked, "How much does these two cost?" Liu Zhang replied, "It takes five hundred." The foreign merchant responded happily, and what Liu Zhang said was five hundred referring to five hundred copper coins. He saw the foreign merchant

The merchant agreed so happily, so he joked and said, "What I said is 500, 500 taels of silver, not copper coins." He did not say seriously, and obviously did not have the sincerity of selling. He did not give him a long time to think about it, and the foreign merchant thought for a long time and still said, "One word is determined, I will not stingy with it. Don't regret it." Liu Zhang was surprised. He had no intention of selling it or making a price, and his words were all jokes. Now he saw that the foreign merchant was actually serious and was willing to buy it for 500 taels of silver. He was overjoyed and said, "If the noble merchant gave it as much, I will never have the intention to regret it." After hearing this, the foreign merchant was happy and clapped his hands with Liu Zhang to make a deal.

The next day, the foreign merchant really brought 500 taels of silver and handed it to Liu Zhang. Liu Zhang held Xiongba and the chicks in a cage, and also handed it to the foreign merchant. He laughed and said, "I had no intention of selling it, so I was having a joke with the teacher. The gentleman really bought it, which was beyond my expectations. I was confused. I dare to ask the teacher for buying it for this huge amount of money, what is it?" The foreign merchant also smiled and replied, "You ask me, I will not hide it. There are two red lights on the top of the Lotus Mountain nearby. Can you see it?" Liu Zhang nodded, and the foreign merchant continued, "This is the centipede spirit, one old and one young. After a few years, when the young grow up, he will become a spirit. Local animals want to be swallowed by them, and people and animals will inevitably be harmed, and the disaster will be great! Lei Gong is difficult to cure

Also, nowadays, the young are young and the old are single, and they dare not openly rampant. Only Baxiong and his chick can subdue this harm. However, Xiongba needs an assistant. This chick is still young and needs to be fed with precious food. When the feathers are full and the muscles and bones are strong next year, it can be helped. I heard that when egg hatching this spring, more than ten eggs hatch only this one, so it can be seen that all the essence is sucked by it. No wonder the rest have not become chicks. At this time next year, this chick grows up and will definitely help Xiongba with one arm, and the centipede spirit will die!” Liu Zhang asked again: “What is the difference between this chicken and the crowd?” The fan merchant replied: “The eyelids of all chickens are covered upwards, but Xiongba and his chicks are reversed. This is an angry chicken eye, which is the seed of the phoenix!”

A year later, spring was in full bloom, and the foreign merchants came here with the second chickens to see Liu Zhang. Their chicks had become chickens, just like the domineering. Liu Zhang was enthusiastic about it, and the foreign merchants lived in their homes.

The foreign merchants closely observed the changes in Lianhua Mountain. One day and night, they suddenly saw two red lights appearing on the top of the mountain. They were pleased with it and said to Liu Zhang: "The monster has appeared, I want to capture it!"

The next night, when the lights were held, the foreign merchant carried a foreign gun, tied a foreign knife, and went to him alone with a chicken cage. Before leaving, Liu Zhang wanted to follow him, but the foreign merchant refused him politely and said, "The monster's demonic aura is attacking people. If you are poisoned, it will be difficult to heal!"

The foreign merchants have taken the risk. Liu Zhang wanted to see the investigation and invited several villagers to carry their own weapons, lie in the depression at the bottom of the mountain, and look up at the changes of the top of the mountain. At the second update, two red lights appeared on the top of the mountain, shining brightly, as dazzling as lightning, sometimes eastward and westward, sometimes shrinking and rising, sometimes cohesive and straight, sometimes coiling and stretching, some like a goshawk, or like a big fish leaping up and down, sometimes curling and spreading, sometimes heading and retreating, sometimes changing unpredictable, everyone was dazzled, and they didn't know what the red light did. Everyone saw that the red light was so strange, and they were all surprised!

When the crowd vaguely heard the rooster crowing on the top of the mountain, a red light jumped up, and immediately fell off. The red light suddenly disappeared, like a pillar falling over, and suddenly collapsed. Liu Zhang saw it, and was shocked and worried. He was shocked by the gorgeous red light. He looked happy and felt a little relieved, and knew that a monster had been destroyed. The crowd gathered to look at it, and saw another red light suddenly surging like a huge wave, and pounced down. He heard the rooster crow suddenly, and the red light shrank, and the red light dispersed, and suddenly gathered again, and then rushed downward. However, the brightness of the red light was no longer as bright as last time, and his momentum was invincible. Liu Zhang stretched his tense nerves and knew that the domineering wanted to win, and he expected that the monster would be defeated without a doubt.

After a while, I saw something floating like a broken leaf on the top of the mountain, blown by the strong wind and falling into the weeds on the hillside. Another red light extinguished it, and the top of the mountain suddenly became quiet and enveloped in the darkness.

The sky was white, and the crowd returned. Liu Zhang knew that the centipede spirit had been removed, so Xiongba was about to pass the triumph, so he returned home to prepare wine and tea to congratulate him. After a short time, he saw the merchant holding the chicken cage on the left and the two centipedes returned on the right. The crowd surrounded him and saw the two centipedes using ropes. The larger one was about six feet, and the clamps on the left were broken, and there were still a few of them moving slightly but not dead. The smaller ones were nearly six feet, and the clamps on the double clamps were broken, and all the foots were broken, and all the foots were lost. Liu Zhang welcomed him and said, "I know that the master's achievements have been completed, so I will congratulate you." However, the merchant sighed and said, "Although the two monsters were eliminated, the two chickens were seriously injured, which is sad!"

The crowd opened the chicken cage and looked at it. They saw that the young man's feathers fell and lay at the bottom of the cage. They were dying. Seeing Xiongba's feathers withered, they were depressed and lifeless, they were actually sad. Liu Zhang asked him sadly, "Can Xiongba be revived?" The Fan Shang shook his head and replied, "The young man died after not leaving ten days, and Xiongba was dead for only half a year. The two chickens have made merits and should be treated well and buried with them. Both chickens are deeply poisoned and must not be eaten. Remember, remember!" Liu Zhang asked again, "What is the use of these two centipede spirit corpses? Do you need to be buried?" The Fan Shang said, "You don't know that the centipede shines red light, like lightning, must have jewelry hidden in your body. Its shells are made into a sword sheath, which is worth a thousand gold. The jewelry in its body is the treasure among treasures, which is worth a lot of money!" Liu Zhang finished hearing this and regretted it. The Fan Shang made a huge profit in this business.

Some villagers asked the merchant in confusion: "Sir, why not shoot him with a foreign gun? Why should I work hard to dominate him?" The merchant replied: "I am afraid that the centipede can destroy the shell and destroy the jewelry inside the body, so I will not shoot him."

When the foreign merchant was about to part, he sent Liu Zhang 200 coins to show his gratitude. He used a wooden box to pack the two centipedes' corpses, carried them on their backs, and left. After the foreign merchant left, as expected, the old chicken and the young chicken died one after another. Liu Zhang followed the foreign merchant's orders and buried them again, and erected a monument to sacrifice them. The monument wrote: The tomb of the father and son who eliminated harm to the people.
