Both of them know that the so-called principle that a dog does not live for eight years and a chicken does not live for six years comes from "Yi Yao".

"Yi Yao" is an ancient book that has been circulated since the Three Kingdoms and Jin Dynasties. It specializes in talking about the monsters in the world and what they are.

"Yi Yao" believes that those who conform to common sense are 'monsters'.

The emergence of special and unreasonable phenomena in the world is a sign that the world will be in chaos or a catastrophe. The origin of the saying "a dog does not last for eight years and a chicken does not last for six years" is also the theory in "Yi Yao"

.

It means that the chickens, dogs, and livestock raised at home cannot live for too long.

Because once they live in human society for too long and are in contact with humans every day, they will listen to what people say and see every move of people. In this way, they will gradually understand human nature, and sooner or later they will surely become spirits.

Become a monster and do evil things that endanger and harm the world.

Even though he said nothing, Master Kong, who had strange powers and confused spirits, said: "Don't associate with animals."

It can be seen that "Yi Yao" also has some truth.

This old man's chicken has been raised for nearly six years. He once studied Taoism at Jintan Leizhai and believed most in "Yi Yao" and would definitely not let this chicken live for more than six years.

In addition, there were countless chicken eggs in the village back then, but only his chicken eggs hatched this chicken.

The rest of the eggs are empty shells.

This miraculous birth must have been favored by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. However, six years have passed, and I am afraid it is unknown if it will stay any longer. Otherwise, if there is any trouble, it will definitely be cruel. So I fed it a good meal and sharpened the kitchen knife.

It must be slaughtered on the spot.

Listening to the old man's slow words, Chen Yulou and Partridge Whistle finally understood the reason.

Under other circumstances, the rooster could have been tricked into coming out, but chickens that have been six years old have always been said to be evil. If you leave them without killing them, it must be unlucky for the owner's family.

The mountain people in western Hunan are convinced of this, and seeing that this old man has such a stubborn temper, how can they make him change his mind? I am afraid that he will not be willing to give him two large yellow croakers. Now I can't say, so I have to wait and see how Zhang Lin behaves.

If it doesn't work, let the red girl take action. She is good at the Moon Gate ancient color trick. There are many secret tricks like tricks in the ancient color trick, known as: stick, put, close, pass, moon, leave, push out, and open.

Among them, the Moon-Character Technique is a method similar to blindfolding. Even if the viewer is right in front of them, they cannot see how the performer is "carrying mountains and seas, and changing objects".

The artists in the Moon Gate are the best at this technique. As long as the red girl makes a move, she can cover up the big rooster in front of the father and son of the mountain people. No matter how sharp your eyes are, you can't see her.

How to act.

Although they were allowed to watch as they were photographed out of thin air by a group of Zha Lou Mo masters, there was no physical evidence and there was no reason to explain.

The partridge whistle had something to say, and he thought he could persuade the old man not to kill the chicken. However, when he saw Zhang Lin speaking, he remembered his methods when he was interrogated at the entrance of the village, and wanted to see what methods he had, so he stood aside and watched.

’.

Everyone just listened to Zhang Lin said: "A dog does not live for eight years, and a chicken does not live for six years. It is indeed true that this is the old rule, but do you think that those who are born extraordinary are either holy or evil?"

"Oh?" The old man asked doubtfully: "I have never heard of this. I wonder which ancient book it comes from?"

Zhang Lindao: "This statement comes from the Taoist scripture - "Taiyi·Bianxie", which says: Everything in the world, one drink and one peck, all have a certain number. They are born differently, and those who are extraordinary are either holy or evil, so we must investigate them.

The sage benefits all things, the purple energy comes from the east, and all things congratulate, evil things harm all things, evil winds and strange images make all things mourn.

I wonder if the old man still remembers that when this chicken was born six years ago, except that the village was full of empty egg shells, what else was different? What has it done over the years? "

The old man said: ""Tai Yi: Bian Xie", I have never heard of this ancient book, but there are thousands of Taoist schools in the world, and it is reasonable for some people to not read it.

As for the vision six years ago, who still remembers it now, but what has this chicken done in these years?"

The old man said proudly: "Other people's chickens are just kept in cages day after day and can do nothing, but my chickens are different.

Since this chicken was born, I have fed it refined food every day. This big rooster has lived up to my love. There are the most poisonous snakes in the mountains, which is a serious problem for the mountain people. This rooster patrols the stilted building day and night, pecking at the poisonous insects every day at dawn.

The crow of the golden rooster is even more accurate than that of a self-ringing bell, so I am reluctant to kill it, but according to the ancient book "Yi Yao", this rooster is born to be extraordinary, and if it becomes a climate, it will be vicious."

Zhang Lin said: "What the old man said is wrong. This chicken is not an ordinary chicken. It was the only egg in the village that was not empty when it was born. It can be seen that it was born differently."

For more than five years, although it has eaten your refined food, it has been searching for poisonous insects and driving away long insects in the village. It is a blessing to the village and this is a sacred thing.

"Tai Yi·Zhu Xie" says: If he is not punished by the Holy Spirit, it will be good and beneficial; if he is not punished by evil, then what is the opposite?

From this it can be seen that killing such sacred objects will damage merit and bring disaster."

When the old man heard this, he hesitated. When everyone saw this, they couldn't just rely on Zhang Lin.

Therefore, the partridge whistled: "The old gentleman came down from Taiji Mountain. I haven't heard the Taoist scriptures taught by the Taoist Master, so I have doubts. But if you listen to my teachings, you should be more decisive than the old gentleman."

The old man was hesitating, and when he heard the partridge whistle, he said: "What do you, a young man, have to say?"

The partridge whistled: "It is an ancient custom that a dog cannot live for eight years and a chicken cannot live for six years. Nowadays, many people believe it. Naturally, they have to follow it. All domesticated chickens are not willing to give it six years.

But this chicken is not a chicken, but there is no need to follow this."

Zhang Lin knew what Partridge Whistle was going to say at this time, but he remained silent while others listened and had their own thoughts.

Chen Yulou was even more anxious: How could one of these two people say something more outrageous than the other?

A Taoist scripture that no one has ever heard of talks about something, and now this one even more bluntly states that the chicken is not a chicken. So what is it if it is not a chicken? Is it a bird? A three-year-old child would not believe it, so how can he convince the old man? It seems

I had no choice but to follow our old practice of thieves in the forest... and just rob it."

Chen Yulou was secretly anxious and winked at Miss Hong. He immediately decided that something was wrong and took action to grab the chicken.

But the partridge whistle was calm and composed, and told everyone the evidence of why he said this was not a chicken.

He was seen sitting upright and said: "The eyelids of chickens in the world are exactly opposite to those of human eyes.

Human eyelids all grow from the top, and the upper eyelids can move and blink, but the opposite is true for chickens, whose eyelids grow from the bottom. Why don't you take a look, how are the eyelids of this rooster?"

The old man had raised this chicken for more than five years. Although he had never noticed it, everyone who raised chickens knew that chickens had their eyelids down. Now that he heard the partridge whistle, he took a closer look.

But I saw that the big rooster with "feathers of various colors, head raised and roaring" was indeed like a human eye, with eyelids on top.

If everyone hadn't paid close attention at this moment, they would have overlooked this detail. Now even the well-informed Chen Yulou and Miss Hong were surprised and asked, "Why is this?"

Partridge Whistle was calm and composed, wanting to show off, but seeing that Zhang Lin didn't make any trouble at all, as if he had expected the chicken to be like this, he lost interest and said: "The reason why this chicken's eyelids are so long is because it is not a chicken."

birds."

Hearing this again, everyone was still confused. It wasn't a chicken, but what was it?

The partridge whistle lost interest and told him bluntly: "Western Hunan has had the totem of the phoenix blackbird since ancient times, and many place names are related to the ancient legend of the phoenix, just like this county, which is called Nuqing County.

This Nuqing is the image of a phoenix, with chicken eyelids growing on it, and it also has colorful feathers and golden claws. How can it be an ordinary chicken? It is simply a rare and extraordinary phoenix species, which can only be found in Nuqing County, Western Hunan.

Angry Chicken.

The golden rooster's crowing originally means to distinguish between yin and yang and black and white, and the sound of the angry rooster's crow can break away evil spirits and poisonous mirages, and can even drive away ghosts and ghosts. If it were an ordinary chicken or bird, its eyelids would naturally be under the eyes, and the eyelids above.

Even "Phoenix" has a chicken name, but it cannot be regarded as a regular chicken.

Does the phoenix really exist in the world? No one has seen this with their own eyes, so it is difficult to make a conclusion.

But today, most people believe that the ancient Chu people’s soul-drawing black bird evolved from the rooster totem.

The legend of the "Nu Qing Chicken" has been around since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, but now, even in its place of origin, Xiangxi Nu Qing, it is now extremely rare, probably only once in a hundred or two hundred years. "The phoenix cries and the dragon soars"

"This is a sign of auspiciousness in the world. These spiritual creatures are actually favored by the creation of heaven and earth. If they are slaughtered at will, they will inevitably cause disaster.

There are Zhang Lin's words in the front, and there are Partridge Whistle's words in the back.

The old man has been raising this chicken for more than five years. Today he realizes that the big rooster he raised is actually a rare treasure. It is easy to kill chickens and geese, but who has the courage to kill phoenixes and dragons? Isn’t that asking for bad luck? So he immediately killed the chickens and geese.

I gave up the idea of ​​killing chickens.

However, because Zhang Lin spoke first, the partridge whistle did not make a bet with him.

Now that the old man knows that his chickens are precious, he naturally wants to raise the price.

Seeing this, Miss Hong said angrily: "Old man, we told you the origin of this chicken to prevent you from killing it, not to ask you to sit on the ground and raise the price."

Hearing this, the old man smiled contemptuously and said: "This chicken is raised by my family. I have the final say whether to raise or kill it. Without adding any money, I will definitely not give it to you even if I kill it and cause trouble."

"You..." Miss Hong was furious when she heard this. She pointed at the old man and was speechless.

Seeing this, Partridge Whistle frowned, while Chen Yulou stopped Miss Hong and signaled her to use the Moon Gate technique later.

But unexpectedly, Zhang Lin spoke again.

He said: "Old sir, you guessed it right. We really need this chicken to do something now, so why don't you bother to give us a price? As long as the price is reasonable, we will pay for it."

The red girl who was about to steal the chicken heard this and said: "What's the matter with you? Have you ever been in the Jianghu? This old man is not a fuel-efficient lamp. I told him that the chicken had an extraordinary origin, but he was already raising the price. Why did you tell him

He, we need this chicken? Then he can't ask for high prices?"

The old man looked at everyone proudly, and his expression clearly told everyone that Miss Hong was right.

When he asked for a price, it was naturally quite high.

After all, there is only one chicken at the moment, and things are rare and expensive. If he doesn’t kill him, he will be punished. How could he let go?

However, before he made a bid, Zhang Lin continued what Miss Hong said: "No, the old gentleman came down from Taiji Mountain in his early years, so he must know the principle: if you want to take something, you must give it first.
