Becoming a God from a Water Monkey

Chapter 565 Winning at the Starting Line

Chapter 565 Winning at the Starting Line (4k)

Thunder roars in the sky!

Countless iron hooves raised dust, and a gray wave rose outside the woods.

Flocks of birds filled the sky, and bats startedled and flew away from the forest, briefly covering the sky and casting a long shadow like a dark cloud.

Just half a breath.

The galloping BMW has left the dust behind.

The onlookers felt the thunder beneath their feet and watched in shock as the young man bathed in the moonlight, whipped his horse, and rushed out of the rolling dust waves, gathering into a silver wave that undulated along the loess, and then, blocked by the ancient trees, dissipated into the lush forest.

The young man carrying a simple hunting bow tied his shoelaces tightly and ran as fast as he could, his face flushed with excitement.

Full of vigor and vitality, the world is at ease!
"Fire the cannon, fire the cannon!"

The steward waved his hand to urge.

call out.

Snapped!
The blazing flames shot up into the sky, exploding an orange ceiling.

The birds, beasts and bats in the sky suddenly scattered, and the black curtain covering the sky and the moon was torn into several large holes.

The clouds break and the moon comes out!

The full moon hung in the sky, and whole patches of "black clouds" quickly cracked and dissipated, revealing the starry sky.

The sky is filled with clear light.

On the vast red mountain range, every leaf reflects the cold light of the stars and the moon.

The sky and earth were bright with frost, almost feeling as if it were daytime, with swaying shadows of trees all over the ground.

The hunter opened his eyes, his gaze was bright, and he wished he was the one riding the horse.

The manager waved his sleeves and called out again.

"Raise the signal! Raise the signal!"

Behind the flames, three straight streams of yellow smoke rose into the sky, rolling and surging.

Long smoke was seen deep in the Chishan Mountains.

click!
The Xu family member jumped down from the treetop and opened the iron cage. The panicked spirit deer kicked the ground hard and fled madly.

boom!
The Chi family members picked up wooden sticks and knocked on the big box. The birds rushed to fly away, and a few fallen feathers fell off and floated into the fallen leaves.

Wow!
The water tank is dumped.

The green-backed dragon carp was covered in white foam and turned into a waterfall, falling into the lake and streams, rushing in all directions.

Bottom of the pond.

The fat catfish, which had been waiting for a long time, opened its big mouth, swung its tail, and swallowed left and right, sucking in the dizzy, unresponsive green-backed dragon carp like a storm, spraying out water, leaving behind the treasure fish, with a bulging belly.

The rest of Tankou.

The round-headed ones, unable to move, use their magical powers, squatting to the fish's mouth to catch them, swallowing them and "eating" them to seize the opportunity.

The fist does not have the fat catfish's immobile "mouth capacity", nor does it have as many followers as the round head. It only has two large claws, which are unique advantages. It can open a special fishing net, intercept the swimming shuttles, and catch several fish at a time.

Otter Kai was too small, so he swam forward and grabbed a big treasure fish, refusing to let go. However, he was whipped by the fish's tail and became dizzy, with whites in his eyes.

I was about to faint.

He stretched out his fist to grab the green carp and stuffed it into the fish basket.

The Huo family member who opened the wooden box to release the fish looked at the calm lake and scratched his head.

"Strange...why are there no fish?"

Thirty precious fish were thrown in.

There were only sporadic flashes of green light flying around, making very little noise.

others……

All of them sank into the bottom of the pond?

Outside the Chishan Mountains, there was a hustle and bustle and people were shoulder to shoulder.

There are nearly a hundred tents set up at each of the three entrances, selling food, snacks, and providing seats for people to rest.

Swords, spears, and halberds flash constantly in the shadow play, and there is an endless stream of vendors carrying hot soup and wontons as midnight snacks.

There were even martial arts masters performing acrobatics.

He was alone, half shirtless, his dark skin glistening with sweat, holding a wooden stick in his hand, and flipping two iron boxes filled with broken charcoal at the ends, which spurted out blazing flames, like a fire tree blooming, more than three meters high.

boom!
The flames rose and surged.

The onlookers' faces turned orange and red, and they exclaimed loudly. Dozens of copper coins were thrown down, making a clinking sound.

But the largest and noisiest place in the tent is still the gambling house.

The large table was covered with a velvet cloth painted in red and green, with tassels hanging down from the four corners.

The wide cloth was marked with the names, portraits, and odds of each contestant in proportion to their ranking, from large to small, and shiny copper coins and silver coins were piled up into a mountain.

Xu took the female relatives to buy some fried cakes and fried noodles, threw a few silver coins into the fireworks, and ate while walking around.

Yang Xu, Yu Dun, and Lu Gang followed quietly.

"Come, come, the market is open! Don't miss this opportunity if you miss it. Pick the top ten in your mind. You can get rich overnight. Win the wine cup with the top girl in the brothel and sing in the Elephant Girl Pavilion!"

"Small gambling brings joy, big gambling hurts the body, young master, young lady, invest some money to have some fun!"

"Madam, choose the winner in your mind. If you win, you will make a lot of money. If you lose, it will also be a confidence support!"

"It's better not to gamble, to live a happy life. If you don't bet, you can buy a copy of the 'Dragon and Tiger Ranking'! Three taels of silver, fine silk cloth, made by a master! The ranking is fair and objective!"

Place a bet on the handicap and calculate the odds. As long as someone invests money, the dealer will make a profit.

Three entrances, three big families, and three gambling houses.

Obviously not a coincidence.

The clerks in each gambling house worked hard and tried their best to attract customers. With just a few words of encouragement, they could bring in a turnover of thousands of taels.

The income from the handicap during these three nights and two days alone could easily cover the cost of holding the hunt.

"Give me a copy of the 'Dragon and Tiger List', no need to look for it."

The two small ingots tapped lightly on the table.

"Okay!" The servant subconsciously reached for the scroll, looked up, and almost dropped it out of shock, "Sir, the prefect?"

The steward looked up when he heard the voice.

Huangzhou Zhizhou Xu Wanxing grabbed the list and read it while saying, "The court issued an order today and I was very busy with official business. I came a little late and didn't light the signal fire in person. I missed the grand event and I am very sorry."

The steward of the Xu family hurriedly replaced the servant and went forward to greet him: "It is the greatest honor for the people of Huangzhou that the prefect can take time out of his busy schedule to come here. Please enjoy the fun with the people. Please move on and climb the Yulan Peak.

Yulan Peak is located in the center of Chishan Mountain. It is a hundred feet high and has a wide field of vision. It is the best place to watch the game. Most of the prey is released from this place. It is the best viewing spot. "

"Okay! I'll have to ask the manager to send someone to lead the way."

Xu Wanxing glanced at it briefly, closed the list, and left with the servant leading the way, followed by a group of high-ranking officials.

The crowd separated silently.

The arrival of the Huangzhou prefect undoubtedly added fuel to the excitement of the event, and more and more people flocked to the gambling house.

People were bumping into each other, and a large number of Xu family members were moving around to maintain order and prevent people from being trampled.

Settle the state capital officials.

The steward went to invite other people to climb Magnolia Peak to watch and enjoy the hunting.

Xu was among those invited.

Not to mention that Grandmaster Yang Dongxiong is around the corner, even if he wasn't there, the relatives of top martial arts masters should also receive this treatment.

"and many more!"

Move forward.

Long Li took the banknotes and small change from Xu, Long Eying and Long Yao.

Yang Xu gave a signal, and his personal guards stepped forward, blocking the crowded crowd in front of the casino and clearing a path.

Long Li rushed into the trading table and smashed all the coins at the portrait of Liang Qu, causing the mountain of copper coins to slide sideways and fall over.

"Bet on Liangqu, first place! Two thousand five hundred and sixty taels, and another copy of the 'Dragon and Tiger Ranking'!"

"Betting on the first place?"

"Correct!"

"Okay, two thousand five hundred and sixty taels, number five is the first, today's odds are 1 to 62!" The steward sang loudly, recorded the information with cinnabar, stamped it with a red seal, and presented the receipt and the list together, "Miss, keep the receipt well. The prize will be drawn in three days. If you win, remember to come and cash it in. It will be invalid after ten days!"

Get back the tickets and the Dragon and Tiger List.

Everyone gathered together.

Long Yao urged.

"Open it and see how they are ranked on the Dragon and Tiger Rankings."

Unroll the scroll.

What caught my eye were several lines of large golden characters.

"First, Zhu Zongwang, who won the martial arts examination in the Wolf Smoke Twenty-Eight Constellations and ranked sixth in the East Constellation, 'Tail Fire Tiger', is at the initial stage of tiger hunting, is born with a martial spirit, is twenty-nine years old, and has a record of..."

"Second, Chi Ang, from the Chi family of Yunzhou, is at the initial stage of tiger hunting, has half a martial bone, is thirty-four years old, and has a record of..."

"Third, Xu Jiangming, from the Xu family of Huangzhou, is at the initial stage of tiger hunting, has half a martial bone, is thirty-five years old, and will be thirty-six in two months. His combat record..."

There are only three great tiger hunters in the entire hunting competition, and they are also the top three on the Dragon and Tiger Ranking, making them the favorites to win.

The handwriting is particularly large and eye-catching.

Zhu Zongwang is the youngest, but his identity as one of the Twenty-Eight Wolf Smoke Mansions obviously adds a lot of color to him, and he ranks first.

Long Yao and Long Li looked dissatisfied, but they knew that the realm was there, so they patiently read on.

"Fourth, Huo Hongyuan, from the Huo family of Yunzhou, ranked seventh in the East Star in the Twenty-Eight Constellations, 'Jishuibao', Langyan Tianqiao, born with a martial spirit, twenty-six years old, with a record of battles..." "Fifth, Liang Qu, a dragon crossing the river from Pingyang Prefecture, a disciple of Yang Dongxiong, Langyan Diqiao, born with a martial spirit, nineteen years old, with a record of battles..."

"Sixth, Chi Hongkun, from the Chi family of Yunzhou, Langyan Bridge, thirty-five..."

"No, why should you be below Yaksha? Is it the gambling house that is bullying outsiders?"

Long Yao was indignant.

It’s better not to rank as high as the Tiger Hunting Master.

It’s not the fourth, but the fifth!

"Don't be angry, young lady." The guide said with a smile, "The purpose of the Grand Hunting Competition is to compare hunting skills, not martial arts skills. Otherwise, we can just set up an arena and let the two fight. Why do we have to hold a grand ceremony every year and release living creatures?

Since it is a hunting ability, there are many factors that influence it.

Jishuibao is a member of the Huo family, and half of the Xu family. First of all, he is familiar with the environment of Chishanling. Secondly, it is not his first time to participate in the hunting meeting. It is inevitable that the children of the Huo family will take the initiative to offer the prey, so the winning rate is naturally higher. This is all allowed by the rules.

On the other hand, Sir Liang only had the help of a few senior brothers and sisters, and he was not familiar with many members of the Xu family. He was weak and alone, but he was able to rank fifth, which was entirely due to his own ability, which was already very remarkable. "

Long Yao and Long Li's expressions lightened up a little.

After all, he is in charge.

The words are pleasant to the ear.

"It seems that there are quite a lot of tiger hunters under the age of thirty-five." Yang Xu patted Yu Dun on the shoulder, "Junior brother, you should encourage me."

"Brother said..."

"Don't keep saying things that ruin the fun during such a busy day." Xu interrupted unhappily, "You don't come back once every four or five years to show your concern for Junior Brother. It's so hard to be happy about this, but why do you have to rush me now?"

"Yes, yes, mine, mine."

There are deep trees in Chishan Ridge.

Liang Qu galloped on his horse for several miles.

There are almost no high mountains in Chishanling, but its advantage lies in its vastness. There are only a few people following along the way.

"Brother, sister, you really don't want to go with me?"

"Junior brother, are you worried?" Zhuo Shaoqin looked back.

"No, it's just a small matter. Just asking about hunting."

Guan Congjian raised his head and looked back, but it was all dark and there was nothing there, and he felt a little confused.

"Brother, don't joke around." Zhuo Shaoqin shook his head. "How can hunting be fun if I'm with you? I'm afraid we won't be able to get any prey and will just be spectators."

"Sister is right, the sea is wide and fish leap, the sky is high and birds fly." Hu Qi agreed, "We are traveling together, but Junior Brother wants to give us opportunities and restrict our hands and feet.

Why don't we all go our separate ways and gather here again after the meeting? If Junior Brother is a little short of that, maybe we can help him out with some of our gains."

Liang Qu did not force it after hearing this.

"That's right, let's go." Xu Zishuai turned his horse's head and said, "Junior brother, see you the day after tomorrow!"

"Goodbye!"

"I'm leaving too." Guan Congjian said carelessly, "You're from the water town, I'm from the mountains, I've been hunting for a living since I was a child, don't lose to me!"

"Of course not."

far away.

After witnessing Liang Qu parting with his fellow disciples, he stood alone in the forest, trying to determine the direction.

Huo Hongyuan, who was hiding behind the bushes, was quite agitated. He winked at Zhu Zongwang and was about to step forward.

"and many more."

Zhu Zongwang stretched out his hand to stop him.

"Wait again?"

Huo Hongyuan frowned.

This is what they said before the Grand Hunting Meeting. Now that the Grand Hunting Meeting has begun, are you still waiting?
"You are so cautious! You were not like this before!"

Zhu Zongwang had a headache.

A smoke screen bridge should not be handled so cautiously.

It is really……

How much effort did the imperial court put into changing the fate of the military examination? I came to Huangzhou to play, and the change was inexplicable...

Fate accompanies a person throughout his life, and it not only represents the present, but also the future. Perhaps it is the unknown future that brings about unexpected changes.

In particular, they discovered that the other party had a long dragon crossing the river.

Will things change if we take action or if we don’t take action?
What Zhu Zongwang was afraid of was not Liang Qu, but the inexplicable and mysterious fate!

"Hey."

Fortune telling at a young age.

The elders often say that we should not believe blindly, but when it really happens to us, how can we let it go?

I am not an old man in my seventies or eighties who has let go of everything. I am twenty-nine, the beginning of my best years. I will be moved when I see a woman, and when I see a peer who is better than me, I will want to prove that I am better.

Think about it.

"Wait one last day and one night, and hunt first! I'll listen to you from now on!"

"hunting?"

"Hunter more spiritual deer, spiritual birds, and spiritual fish. One day later, bring up the duel again. Use the prey of each side as the stakes. Use normal moves to test and snatch. Use the hunting meeting as a cover to control the intensity and leave a way out."

Zhu Zongwang said so.

"I'll listen to you again."

The two of them gradually retreated and left.

Among the treetops.

The blue centipede spread its wings, flew through the leaves, landed back on Liang Qu's shoulder, shook its head, and delivered the message in detail.

"strangeness."

Liang Qu rubbed his chin, not understanding why the two were so afraid of him, as if he were a hot potato.

Patrolling Sea Yaksha had a bad temper and was competitive. He had been heard talking about him ever since he came to the Xu family. However, such a person with a bad temper did not attack him on the spot, causing him to lose three thousand dollars.

Don't make trouble on the spot.

I thought the big hunting meeting should be over, right?

The practice of the Eye Consciousness Method is not in vain.

When two people go out, all nine brothers and sisters will know the secret.

Therefore, Awei was sent out early to monitor every move.

Unexpectedly, after going around in circles, he still didn't take any action.

"Weird..."

I don't understand.

Let Awei fly into the sky and confirm that the two have left. Liang Qu no longer cares and goes to find the fat catfish and count the treasure fish harvest first.

On Magnolia Peak.

The entire mountain top was cleared and the tents and chairs were set up.

The top leaders of the Xu, Huo and Chi families gathered to welcome the prefect.

Xu and others reached the top one after another and discovered.

The scenery of Magnolia Peak is unique.

The trees on the top of the mountain that blocked the view were cut down, and there were no low mountains around. The Chishan Ridge was mostly rocky and had sparse trees.

Occasionally, one could see people moving through the woods, chasing prey under the moonlight.

"Look, Brother Xu!"

Long Yao stretched out his hand and pointed.

Yang Xu and others looked over.

The bright moonlight illuminates the hillside.

Xu Zishuai concentrated all his attention, held his breath and kept quiet, and pulled out three arrows.

Draw a bow and set an arrow.

boom!
Three arrows fired in unison!

Before the spirit deer could react, one arrow hit its back and two arrows hit its abdomen, firmly locking its position and easily capturing it alive.

Grab the deer by the neck and put it into the leather bag.

As if aware of the gaze.

Xu Zishuai looked up at Magnolia Peak, tied up his bag and greeted everyone warmly.
