"It's indispensable for you." Zhu Zhanji said, and Wang Xian stuffed the one hundred taels of silver notes over.
The shopkeeper smiled happily and accepted the money with great gratitude. Even though he was happy, he did not forget to say: "This tigress has a poisonous eye. Don't bite the insects below the first grade, otherwise you will be bitten to death." Nothing more.
After saying that, he saw that the two people had disappeared at the door, so he had to mutter instead: "But the red-robed general must be fine, such a man is not easy to find..."
Wang Xian and Wang Xian excitedly took the tigress back home and wanted to test its skills. Zhu Zhanji had his cricket basin brought from Jingdezhen and personally selected a third-grade red sand and purple jade.
, fought against a tigress.
The two crickets went down to the basin, and saw red sand and purple jade jumping over. Facing the yellow head and three tails, they swept their beards a few times, turned around and raised their wings to chirp. This was a signal for crickets to mate. At this moment, they saw the yellow
The first three tails suddenly jumped up and bit each other. The red sand and purple jade were frightened and hurriedly moved away. After a while, the male was still lustful and lustful. This time, the tigress was chasing after her.
The red sand and purple jade were scattered everywhere.
"It's really amazing!" Zhu Zhanji opened his mouth wide and saw that the red sand and purple jade were bitten all over, but he didn't bite back, so he had to separate the two insects and save the male's life. Only the red sand and purple jade could be seen.
Yu shivered in grievance, wondering how there could be such a tigress in the world... This insect is considered useless. In this short life, it will never be able to get out of the shadow of the tigress. From now on, it will no longer have sex, and it will be impossible to talk about fighting spirit.
.
Zhu Zhanji threw the red sand and purple jade aside and tried a few more worms, but they were all the same. They were all chased and bitten by the tigress, but they never fought back. Zhu Zhanji excitedly held the jar and said: "Just
With this Mu Guiying, I can surrender my third uncle Yang Zongbao."
Wang Xian was also very happy, otherwise knowledge is power. But he felt a little uneasy in his heart. He thought about it and realized that it was the shopkeeper's last words. At that time, the two of them rushed away happily and didn't care, but
Now that I think about it carefully, it seems to make sense. He asked Zhu Zhanji: "Who is the most powerful cricket now?"
"It's a golden-green pockmarked head. Although it's not the king of insects, it's still one of the best marshals in the world." Zhu Zhanji said.
"Bring it here and try it with the tigress." Wang Xian said.
"What if it looks like red sand and purple jade?" Zhu Zhanji was reluctant to give it up. A marshal-level cricket costs thousands of taels of silver. If the tigress turns into a wimp, thousands of taels of silver can be used to fetch water.
Drifted.
"If you're not afraid of ten thousand, just in case, your gold book is worth a thousand taels of silver?" Wang Xian said in a deep voice.
"Oh." Zhu Zhanji then personally took the Jinqing Matou and put it into the basin. He saw the Jinqing Matou squealing twice, but the tigress still ran up and bit it. Zhu Zhanji was overjoyed when he saw this and said
: "It's done." Before he finished speaking, Jin Qingma turned his head and closed a full clamp with the tigress. Then an overlord raised the cauldron and actually lifted the tigress up and then dropped it to the ground.
The tigress bowed her head and remained motionless by the basin, with no murderous intent. At this time, the golden pockmarked head chirped again, and the tigress obediently got on its back... Or else, crickets are the gentlemen among insects, and male crickets have always been
It is to invite the mother to come on her back to have sex, and there is no chance that the overlord will force his bow and pin her down.
Seeing a fight turn into a naked meeting in an instant, Zhu Zhanji opened his mouth wide: "How is that possible? Why don't the yellow heads and three tails bite?"
Wang Xian had already understood, and sighed: "It seems that although the tigress is a bit fierce, she is still a female in essence. It's just that she is very picky about male crickets because of her physical strength. Ordinary crickets are naturally picky.
If you don't measure your ability, you will definitely be punished. But when you meet a great guy like Jin Qing Ma Tou, what else can he be dissatisfied about?"
"So... ah..." Zhu Zhanji was dumbfounded and smacked his lips and said: "Can the tigress still be used?
"No matter how good the Jin Qing Ma Tou is, can it be better than the Golden Winged King?" Wang Xian said calmly.
"How can it be……"
"Then it's over." Wang Xian shrugged.
"Alas..." The hope that was so easily ignited was extinguished again. Zhu Zhanji sat down and said: "It really can't be done. I can only pretend to be sick. I will pretend to be sick for a month and kill the Golden Winged King." Cricket
My lifespan is less than a hundred days, so this is a solution. "But then, I will be completely embarrassed to see people in the future..."
"..." Wang Xian ignored him and muttered to himself: "Didn't you say that the male will not attack the female? How come this male can't hit the female?"
"I can guess the reason for this," Zhu Zhanji said with a smile: "Because he can't catch his eye. Why is Jin Qing Ma Tou a marshal? How can such a tall and thick tigress be dismissed?"
"That makes sense." Wang Xian nodded and said, "It seems that you have to be a beautiful woman to turn a male cricket into a soft head.
"Those who fall under the eyes of the Golden Winged King must be stunningly beautiful." Zhu Zhanji said with a wry smile: "And you can't be tempted by the Golden Winged King." After a pause, he added: "You must be able to fight. One of these three conditions is missing.
No, it’s probably more difficult to find such a worm than to find the Golden Winged King.”
Wang Xian nodded slowly, as if he was recalling something. Zhu Zhanji did not dare to disturb him, so he waited quietly aside. Unexpectedly, he waited for half an hour. Just when he thought this guy had fallen asleep, Wang Xian
Suddenly stood up and said: "Let's go"
"Where to go?"
"Out of town"
"The city gate is almost closed."
"So we have to hurry up." Wang Xian didn't have time to explain, so he asked someone to prepare the horse and said: "This is the only last hope.
"Okay!" Hearing that there was still hope, Zhu Zhanji immediately regained his energy. Over a cup of tea, more than a hundred people rode out of Jinchuan Gate before the city gate was locked.
"Now that we have time, can we tell you where we are going?" For Zhu Zhanji, who loves riding horses and hunting, camping outside the city is commonplace.
"Ancient tomb." Wang Xiandao.
"What ancient tomb?"
"It's an ancient tomb." Wang Xiandao: "I remember an ancient book said that the ancient tomb was very old, and the essence of yin was condensed. Now it's frost, and when the autumn is extremely cold, male insects can't survive in it at all.
Even if it is a female insect, only the extreme shade and extreme cold species can survive."
"Can this insect defeat the Golden Winged King?"
"I can't say for sure," Wang Xian shook his head and said, "But if there is one thing in nature, there must be something that is incompatible with it. The golden-winged king is extremely yang-like, and this kind of insect is extremely yin-yin-cold. Although it is a Taoist saying that yin is used to overcome yang, it is also true.
It’s a great art of military strategism. If you can’t get rid of this kind of insect, then there’s really nothing you can do.”
"Okay." Zhu Zhanji also thought about it and said, "Let's go to Purple Mountain. Tomb robbers have dug out many ancient tombs on the mountain."
"Just go there." Wang Xian nodded, and the team headed to the Purple Mountain in the east. When they reached the foot of the mountain, it was completely dark. Zhu Zhanji left a few guards to look after the horses, and the rest went in with torches.
Mountain.
At night, the mountains and forests are pitch black, and from time to time the ghostly screams of night owls are heard, making people always feel like there are a pair of ghost eyes staring at them in the dark. Even though they have more than a hundred men in their prime, they still can't help but feel creepy.
Zhu Zhanji knew the Purple Mountain well, and he led Wang Xian in the dark for nearly an hour. Then he stopped, looked around with a torch and said, "There are more than a dozen holes dug by tomb robbers in this area.
"
Wang Xian nodded and said, "Then try your luck."
"How to catch him?" Zhu Zhanji was in trouble.
"I know." Zhu Zhan, who insisted on following, said, "Listen to the crickets."
"No one will think you are mute if you don't speak." Zhu Zhanji glared at him fiercely and said, "Only males can bark, and females can't scream!"
"Then let the males call and call the females over." Zhu Zhan was actually not stupid at all.
"The female crickets that live in the ancient tombs are all born with iceberg beauties. They won't touch the beautiful men they see before them, let alone seduce them outside." Wang Xian shook his head and said, "We can only go out and look for them one by one."
"Okay, everyone, go down," Zhu Zhanji ordered: "If you catch one, you will be rewarded with ten taels of silver."
There must be a brave man under a heavy reward. I heard that there was a reward of ten taels. The guards' fear of ghosts and monsters was wiped away. Immediately, several people shared a cave entrance and went down to catch insects.
"Be careful, don't hurt the insects." Zhu Zhanji instructed. After hearing the first half of the sentence, the guards were very moved. After hearing the second half, they realized that they were being sentimental.
In addition to Zhu Zhanji, who was extremely valuable and was waiting above, even Wang Xian also went down to search in person. The group of people searched all night, and at dawn, they all turned into clay monkeys and crawled out of the ancient tomb. They were so tired.
I lay on the ground and wanted to fall asleep.
However, the harvest was not small. Although it was difficult to find, with the strength of many people, more than a hundred insects were still found. Zhu Zhanji saw that they were all three-tailed female crickets. However, these crickets were generally darker in color and had shorter limbs.
She's all stunted, but she can't be said to be a stunning beauty?
"The Golden Winged King must be treated like an emperor at my third uncle's place. What kind of beauties can he fall in love with like these... little ones?" Zhu Zhanji couldn't hide his disappointment.
"Put some tofu in brine, and drop one thing after another." Wang Xianqiang picked up each item one by one. "Besides, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Maybe the Golden Winged King is the one." After picking and choosing, he finally picked out a whole-body one.
The jet-black Sanwei said with surprise on his tired face: "We are so lucky, we really caught a black widow."
Zhu Zhanji looked at the color of the insect. It was different from the dull colors of other insects. It was black and oily, and seemed to be shining. At first glance, it was not ordinary. But by this time, he had no confidence anymore and muttered:
"If the Golden-winged King were asked to choose a concubine from this pile, or a general from this pile, he would definitely choose this one."
"Haha." Wang Xian's mood was opposite to his. The gloom on his face was wiped away and he smiled: "The Golden Winged King wants to marry, but the black widow won't marry. This insect was born in the underworld in the dark time, so it can
In the few days after it was unearthed, no matter how beautiful you were, you couldn't even get the slightest interest out of it."
"Okay, last question, is this insect aggressive?" Zhu Zhanji is also an expert. He can tell at a glance that this insect is lazy and lazy, and he doesn't believe it can go crazy and bite people.
"It doesn't matter." Wang Xian said with a smile: "I have a way to stimulate its fighting spirit, just watch it."
