Becoming a God from a Water Monkey

Chapter 564: Enjoy the present

The odds of hunting tigers with wolf smoke really excite the spectators.

Especially when some people openly place bets on signal fire, isn't that a clear demonstration?
Four thousand six hundred taels is by no means a small amount.

For this reason, not only the younger generation of the Xu family came to join in the fun, but also the young generation of the Huo and Chi families all participated.

The incident fermented and escalated.

Zhu Zongwang was forced to stand at the center of the storm. He wanted to do something, but was afraid that his actions would cause unknown accidents.

I wanted to keep the situation under control, but found that I couldn't do it at all.

Once the market opens, there are so many people who want to take advantage of the situation that it is impossible to stop them.

The only thing I can do every day is to test my own destiny, and finally stare at the incense ashes floating and drifting away aimlessly.

The tiger hunter master was helpless against a bridge full of smoke...

compare to.

Zhu Zongwang's torture and anxiety did not affect Liang Qu's mood at all.

Forget it if you don’t want to come.

You're here just in time.

In addition to letting the fat catfish get familiar with the water route at the hunting party venue, every day is a good time to stroll around, eat and drink.

Occasionally, I get to know a few members of the Xu family who want to make friends and communicate. I live a happy and fulfilling life and quietly enjoy the festive atmosphere of the approaching Hunting Moon.

Simple, easy and enjoyable.

Xu family martial arts training ground.

Preparations for the grand hunting fair were in full swing. In the open field of more than 20 acres, iron cages covered with red cloth were brought in and piled up into a small hill.

Crowd of onlookers.

People were tying red silk on the eaves everywhere, children were running around, and the whole Xu family was filled with a suppressed excitement.

Liang Qu lifted a corner of the red cloth.

The green light and shadow flew around nimbly, huddled in a corner, struggling and squeezing, trembling, and trying to find a gap to squeeze into.

Inside the iron cage were five curled-up fluorescent blue fawns. They were small in size, and when they were straightened, they were only as long as an arm. A sack could hold more than a dozen of them, but they were incredibly fast.

There are precious fish in the water and there are naturally rare animals on land.

The deer in front of us is undoubtedly one of them.

touch.

The fur is as smooth as silk and has a shiny silver luster.

"Three hundred spiritual green deer, the prey alone would cost twenty or thirty thousand taels, right?"

Xiang Changsong was surprised by the grand gesture of the Daishoukai.

Not counting the generous rewards for the top ten.

Three hundred green deer, all of a single species, it is not easy to gather them all in just two or three months.

I guess they have to purchase it from other states.

The Grand Hunting will be more lively and grand than expected.

"More than that." Yang Xu shook his head. "I heard that in order to celebrate the birthday, there are three kinds of prey for this year's hunting meeting. The Xu family provided 300 spiritual deer, the Huo family provided 300 spiritual fish, and the Chi family provided 300 spiritual birds, which symbolize good luck and longevity."

Spirit fish?

Liangqu captures keywords.

"Master Yang is right." The Xu family member who was recording the number of spiritual deer came forward to talk, "The types of prey for this year's hunting meeting are a little different from previous years. They are all carefully selected, with excellent meaning and quality."

Hu Qi asked: "How does the big hunting competition work? Whoever kills more will win?"

“There is a slight difference.”

The Xu family explained to everyone.

The three kinds of magical beasts were released into various places in the Red Mountain of Huangzhou. On the hunting month, anyone with a permit could go into the mountains to hunt.

Alive, three points.

Dead, one point.

One deer, one bird, and one fish each count as five points.

All alive, fifteen points.

The one with the most points will be the winner. The top ten will receive prizes, all of which are great treasures such as Vein Marrow Jade Liquid. The first place winner will even receive a soul-nourishing treasure comparable to the third-grade Soul Golden Lotus - Tourmaline Wood!

Not to mention being a master of wolf smoke, even tiger hunters would be tempted!
You can sell it if you don’t need it.

Anything that can increase your cultivation is hard currency!

period.

Whether you hunt it yourself or snatch it from others, it is in accordance with the rules.

The only requirement is that no one should be killed.

If someone is on the verge of death during a fight, you must never abandon him or her and must carry him or her out.

If the injured are not rescued, once confirmed, the prefect will punish them on the spot and their ranking will be revoked.

Liang Qu is ready to go.

Just by looking at the rewards, you can understand that as long as you win, even if it’s just in the top three, the resources for your practice to the sky bridge will be secured!
The ground bridge comes and the sky bridge returns.

Isn't it beautiful?

"The types of spiritual beasts are fixed, will anyone fake them?" Xu Zishuai asked, "Can we buy them in advance and bring them in? Then we can take them out when the time comes."

"There was fraud. It happened a long time ago. Later, the rules were changed. Before releasing the prey, the three family heads or the prefect must hang a wooden stick on each prey, write a number on it, and then break it. If the broken edge of the wooden stick and the number don't match, then no points will be counted."

"How do spirit fish hang on wooden bars?"

"Hole punched in the tail fin. The Chishan water system is well connected and spreads across the mountains. Spirit fish can escape very quickly, and punching holes can also slow down their escape speed."

Everyone was stunned.

The Grand Hunting Festival is a local tradition in Huangzhou.

Every year when it is a big event, there are always some clever people who find loopholes and then plug them. It is not easy to please others.

"What about outside the top ten?"

"There are small rewards for those who place 10 to 20, mostly spiritual fruits, healing pills, etc. as encouragement. There are no more for those who place 20. Oh, you can bring the spiritual beasts you hunt back with you, which can be considered a reward."

A spiritual beast is worth dozens or hundreds of taels. If we can catch it, our night will not be in vain.

Xu Zishuai rubbed his hands repeatedly, equally excited.

It’s not because the hunting month is approaching and they are eager to hunt, but because the Tail Fire Tiger and the Ji Water Leopard are about to suffer a serious disaster!
Liang Qu bet three thousand and he bet sixteen thousand, with odds of thirty. If it succeeds, he will get nearly fifty thousand taels!
Too much to know how to spend!
All the delicious food and drinks will be waiting for the day after tomorrow!
Thinking of this.

Xu Zishuai's appetite increased greatly.

"Walk, walk, walk, eat, eat! I'm hungry, hungry!"

"Now? It's not time yet, is it?"

"I have a good appetite today!"

Everyone was suspicious.

Three days later.

Xu Zishuai checked the odds every day and found that the odds were soaring faster than he had imagined, and had been adjusted to 56 to 1!

Buy and don’t hold.

The change in odds has nothing to do with me, but it's still exciting to watch.

This is because most of the bets are from the Xu family and they are just playing around by themselves, betting tens or hundreds of dollars, which is not a large amount, so the four thousand six hundred accounts for a large proportion, otherwise the odds would be adjusted higher!

The Tail Fire Tiger is, after all, a hunting tiger.

Liang Qu had extraordinary experience, but the fact that he was one big step away from reaching a new realm still made outsiders feel that something was wrong, and only a few people placed bets on the high odds.

Stimulate!

It was the first time for Xu Zishuai to get rich, and he was so excited that he walked with a dizzy look on his face.

The sun and moon change.

Everything goes through reincarnation.

The rice in the fields had been harvested. The field mice picked up the fallen ears of wheat, passed through the withered stalks, squeezed into the narrow holes, pushed away the little fat mice that came forward, and carefully buried the millet in one piece.

Wow!
The clear water washes over the ink-blue grindstone, reflecting the bright light of the sky.

The hunters' rough hands held the machetes, sharpened the knives, pulled the bowstrings, adjusted the tightness, and looked forward to a big harvest under the hunting moon.

In the training grounds of the wealthy families, the sounds of fists, feet, swords and halberds never stop, and the training is carried out in an orderly manner.

Countless people are nervous and eagerly looking forward to it.

Early morning of the 19th.

Hundreds of iron cages were taken away and scattered all over Chishanling.

Chishan stopped in the courtyard and wagged his tail.

Long Yao and Long Li helped to mount Yuanmu, Fubo, and the quiver and check the arrows.

Normal horses can hardly move forward in the mountains, forests and gravel terrain.

A good horse is different. It can jump tens or even dozens of meters at a time. No terrain can stump it.
Even wider rivers can be crossed with one leap.

What's more, Huangzhou Chishan is not a high mountain with dense forests, but more like a hilly area, with mountains and low slopes of at most tens or hundreds of meters.

"Elder, it's all ready!"

"You've worked hard." Liang Qu walked out of the house. "After dinner, if you want to go hunting, just take the carriage with my master's wife. I don't think you can see much. Most of them are here for fun. No matter how bright the hunting moon is, it will definitely not be comparable to daytime."

Only those under the age of 35 can participate in the hunting meeting, so participants need to set out in advance, undergo bone touching, calculate bone age, distribute certificates, and register information.

Afterwards, they entered at a unified time for three nights and two days.

Spectators do not need to arrive early, they can just stay home and have a leisurely dinner before leaving.

"We have to go even if we can't see it. Sister Lichan is going to encourage Brother Congjian, so we and Sister Eying will go to the mountain to encourage the elders! We'll be so jealous of others!"

Liang Qu laughed: "That sounds good."

"Elder." Long Eying walked out of the house, "Do you need Binglin and I to follow you? If anything happens in the mountains, it will be convenient for us to take care of you."

"That's not necessary. There's an age requirement, and Binglin would be considered cheating if he got in."

"I can."

"Haha, there are so many people, why use a butcher knife to kill a chicken? Just go to the mountain with Long Yao and Long Li to cheer me up. Let's go!"

"The elders have won the first battle!"

Liang Qu put on the bloodstone arm guard, turned over and rode up Chishan Mountain, passed through the path of the villa, and met Brother Yang who was waiting at the door.

Wait a little.

All the brothers and sisters gathered together and rode their horses to Chishanling.

"Follow!"

Zhu Zongwang and Huo Hongyuan watched the movements of several people from afar, and drove their horses with their stomachs clenched.

The entire Chishan Hunting Ground has entrances in three directions. If you want to meet as soon as possible, you must choose the same entrance.

The sky gradually darkened and the silver moon hung high in the sky.

This round moon, which is almost the largest full moon of the year, makes the sky and the earth look frosty white, and the ground looks like mercury is flowing.

The dark mountains stretched into the distance, intersecting with several low mountains, and the white water line was bright and clear under the moonlight.

Liang Qu reined in his horse and stopped, casting a long silhouette.

Outside the forest.

Flags of various colors fluttered in the night wind, and the people around watched enthusiastically, making a lot of noise.

There were more than a thousand outstanding young men from various families and places, plus countless relatives and friends, who held big flags and cheered.

The streets are deserted.

So lively!

It is worthy of being the first grand event in Huangzhou!

Just by looking at it, one can't help but be infected by the atmosphere and feel excited.

Yang Xu turned his horse around.

"Let's go get the certificate!"

All the fellow disciples followed Yang Xu's footsteps and entered the Xu family's big tent to have their bone age calculated. They successfully received the certificate and entered the waiting room.

Liang Qu was quite regretful: "Third Senior Brother won't participate?"

Yang Xu and Yu Dun were unable to join in the fun due to their age.

There is Lu Gang, who looks quite old, but is actually in his early thirties.

pity.

Lu Gang shook his head: "Most of my skills are used for forging. Hunting and other skills are not my strong points. Even my body movements are average. Instead of working hard all night and getting nothing, I might as well encourage my fellow junior brothers and sisters.

You guys should be more careful. If you encounter a signal fire and catch prey, just let them take it away. At worst, you can go back to Junior Brother and ask him to take it back for you."

Lots of laughter.

"Don't worry, senior brother. We will do what we can."

"Yes, the purpose is to broaden my horizons and appreciate the talents of Huangzhou!"

……

The waiting area is spacious.

Incense sticks burning.

White smoke curls up.

Outside the dense hills, the noise is like the sea tide.

The hot-tempered horses bumped and bit each other.

The crowd was huge, and there were even quite a few young hunters mixed in. It was obvious that they were here to try their luck.

The grand hunting fair is a place for both the elite and the common people to enjoy.

Anyone who can catch a magical deer won’t have to worry about food and drink for several years, and will also gain face for the whole village!

Which girl can’t I marry?

Bones.

The wheels rolled over the road, sending stones flying.

The crowd grew thicker, with more and more onlookers arriving in carriages and on horses.

The ladies from every household lifted the curtains, put on embroidered shoes, stepped into the wilderness, and waved their handkerchiefs to cheer up the young men they knew.

This move is like adding fuel to a fire, causing sparks to explode.

The young man in the waiting room pretended not to care, but secretly glanced at it from the corner of his eye, holding his head high and chest puffed out, like a peacock spreading its feathers.

Occasionally, you meet someone's eyes.

A murderous aura suddenly arose.

The horse under him was infected by it and kept stomping on the ground, plowing out deep furrows.

Everyone wants to get a good ranking, stand out, and win favor.

The undercurrent is raging.

Liang Qu laughed secretly.

Take a look around.

He easily spotted Xu at the front of the crowd, and then saw Long Eying behind Xu, and Long Yao and Long Li waving at Long Eying.

What a beautiful scenery!
A young man noticed the dragon girl, became jealous, and rode forward on his horse.

"Where are you from, brother? I've never seen you before, you look very unfamiliar. Is that your sister waving?"

"Xu's, Liangqu."

"!"

As soon as he said this, the noise around him suddenly disappeared. The boy unconsciously pulled the reins and moved away, leaving a distance of half a meter.

A person's name, the shadow of a tree.

I thought he was a nobody, but he turned out to be a fierce dragon!
How could any well-informed young man not know the eye-catching hunter at the grand hunting meeting?
Liangqu.

He is only twenty years old, but he is already a master of Langyan Bridge!

Not to mention the Holy Emperor's order and the relationship with the Martial Saint, this level of strength alone is enough to make one's legs go weak!
He is really as young and dashing as the rumors say.

A good horse has a good saddle.

Most of the people present rode their horses, giving up the desire to fight.

Can't be bothered, can't be bothered.

……

The moonlight gradually became brighter and brighter, moving to the center of the sky.

The young men from each family were like restless and barking dogs before an earthquake, and they couldn't wait to howl at the full moon.

The three managers kept a close eye on the moment, and waited until the incense burned through the rope and the iron beads fell into the plate, but they did not step forward to open the fence.

Rumble!
The hooves are like thunder.

BMWs of all kinds ignored the fences, jumped out, and rushed forward like a tide, dispersing into the lush forest.
