The adventure location of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: Angry Qing Xiangxi" is in Hunan.
In fact, the prototype of the Angry Chicken that appears in this story comes from the folklore of Henan.
It is said that many years ago, in the Songshan area, during the hibernation time in spring, residents living in the mountains would often see two red lights surrounding the top of Shaoshi Mountain at night.
One was about six or seven feet long, and the other was about four or five feet long.
Ups and downs, like two fire dragons.
At dawn, after the dawn rooster crows, it will gradually disappear.
As soon as spring passes and early autumn arrives, these two red lights will no longer appear.
Many people who see them don't understand what is going on.
It is said that there is a family of mountain people living at the foot of Shaoshi Mountain.
Their home has a rooster.
This chicken is tall and burly, with an imposing appearance.
It weighs more than ten kilograms.
The eggs it lays are all smooth and round.
Moreover, given the time it took for it to hatch, it would survive.
The owner always regarded it as a treasure and called it "Lao Xiong".
He had raised it for more than ten years and refused to kill it.
One year in early spring, it was time for the old male to lay eggs again.
But this time, the old male laid dozens of eggs.
In the end, only one male chick survived, and the rest all died young.
After the owner looked at it, I feel downcast every day, thinking that this is an ominous sign.
On this day, a foreign-looking man suddenly came to the house of this mountain man.
He saw Lao Xiong and the chick, and turned around and asked the owner if he was willing to sell the two chickens.
The owner was worried about what happened before, thinking that the old man was old and useless, so he said casually: "If the guest can pay a lot of money to buy it, how can I not sell it?"
The guest asked: "These two How much do you want to sell the chicken for?"
The host responded: "Five hundred is enough."
The guest looked happy after hearing this and immediately agreed.
The host initially wanted to ask for five hundred copper coins from the guest, but when he saw the joy on his face, he immediately understood that the price he was asking for was low, so he hurriedly changed his mind and said: "The five hundred I said are five hundred taels of silver." , not five hundred copper coins."
After hearing what he said, the guest thought for a long time and said: " That being the case, I promise you that.
I won’t begrudge the price of five hundred taels of silver, but you can’t go back on your word.”
The master was overjoyed after hearing this and replied, “If you come here with five hundred taels of silver, I swear I won’t go back on my word.
"The guest was very happy, so he brought five hundred taels of silver and paid it to the mountain villager the next day.
The host was overjoyed when he saw that he had indeed brought the silver.
After collecting the silver, he immediately opened the cage and handed the two chickens to the guest.
When the guest took the chicken, the host grabbed his sleeve and asked with a smile: "I just wanted to tease the distinguished guest at first, but I didn't expect you to come here with a lot of money.
May I ask, what do you mean by buying these two chickens?"
The guest smiled and replied: "Your Majesty insists on asking, so I have no choice but to tell the truth."
The guest said: "You live at the foot of Shaoshi Mountain, have you ever seen two red lights on the top of the mountain?"
The host looked at him doubtfully and nodded.
The guest continued: "Those two red lights are two centipede spirits, one father and one son.
If the son grows up in another hundred years, he will definitely become a beast.
By then, he will kill all living beings and cause harm to both parties.
Not only will you It is difficult to protect a family, even we foreigners will be implicated, so it is really a serious danger and cannot be avoided.
No.
Now the little centipede is still young and not mature enough.
His father is old and alone, so he doesn't dare to openly wreak havoc.

Only these two chickens can subdue them.
For concern, but the chicks are still young, if they are fed rare treasures as feed every day, they will It can quickly plump up its feathers and strengthen its strength.
I heard that this young chick is the only one left among dozens of eggs.
It can be imagined that it is very energetic.
No wonder all the other eggs died young."
After hearing this, the master said.
After saying this, the whole person stood there dumbly, and then asked: "You said these two chickens can subdue the centipede spirit?
But these two chickens are ordinary poultry, there is nothing special about them."
The guest smiled slightly: "You don't know something about this.
Ordinary domestic chickens all have their eyes covered, but these two chickens are just the opposite.
The name of this item For the sake of Nuqing, this chicken is actually a phoenix."
After that, the guest took the two chickens and walked away from the mountain road.
After some time, one day the guest brought the two chickens to visit the owner.
The owner saw that the chicks had grown up, and they were very similar to the old chick in both body shape and posture.
After the guest stayed, the roosters were fed with refined food every day until dusk fell one day, and the two red lights appeared again on Shaoshi Mountain.
After seeing this, the guest happily greeted the host to come out of the house, "Then The monster has come out again.
I will take the phoenix to subdue it."
After that, he took the chicken and walked out the door.
The host followed and wanted to see what was going on, but was stopped by the guest.
"The evil spirit on the top of the mountain is solemn.
You are a mountain man.
You don't know how powerful it is.
If you are poisoned, your life will be difficult to save."
After the guest finished speaking, he turned around and went up the mountain.
The host listened to the guest's words, stayed at home and looked up at the top of the mountain, carefully observing what happened.
After the second watch, the owner saw that the two red lights on Shaoshi Mountain seemed to be burning.
The red light became more and more vivid, and instantly became like two lightning bolts flashing from time to time, jumping to the southeast for a while, and then flashing for a while.
Jumping to the northwest, sometimes it rises and falls, sometimes it seems to be entangled, divided and combined, as if it is separated.
Sometimes it becomes a ring shape surrounding the top of the mountain, sometimes it becomes like a wooden stick stretching straight, or circling like an eagle circling, or excited like a fish leaping over a dragon's gate, sometimes spinning and slowly stopping, sometimes passing through.
It suddenly stops, its shape is confusing and illusory, and its reality is uncertain.
The owner was stunned by what he saw in front of him.
At this moment, he suddenly saw a short section of red light tumbling violently up and down, as if trying to break free, and then turned into a straight beam of light, sloping and galloping down.
Half-dark and half-dark, it fell into the mountain.
Suddenly, a five-color light appeared on the mountain and disappeared without a trace in an instant.
The owner was secretly happy, thinking that the monster must have been wiped out.
Looking up again, I saw a red light floating on the top of the mountain, sometimes left and now right, sometimes high and sometimes low.
I knew this was the aura of the old demon.
It seemed that his energy was getting low, and he was probably about to run away.
Sure enough, after a while, another red light was like a fallen leaf, being destroyed by the strong wind in the air, drifting desolately, and slowly falling into the wasteland of the mountain.
At this point, both red lights were completely extinct.
In the early morning, the east gradually became brighter.
The host knew that the two demons had been eliminated, so he had already prepared meals and was ready to receive guests.
At this time, I saw the guest holding two chickens in his left arm and slowly walking into the house holding a tree branch in his right hand.
There were two centipedes on the tree branch, one big and one small.
The host stepped forward and said, "I know you have accomplished a great job, so I specially prepared a meal to congratulate you."

The guest sighed deeply and said, "Although the two demons have been eliminated, it is a pity that the two chickens were also seriously injured and died soon.
"After hearing this, the owner immediately stepped forward and watched the two chickens.
I saw the little chicken, all its feathers had fallen off, and only one breath was left.
The old man was also covered in bruises and was depressed.
Look at the two centipedes again.
The larger one is about six feet long.
Its left pincer has fallen off, and there are still one or two legs that are slowly squirming.
The smaller one is also more than five feet long.
Both pincers have been removed.
Most of it was gone, and the body was as stiff as a dead tree.
The host raised his head and asked: "Since these two monsters have been eliminated, what else did you catch them for?"
The guest replied: "Although these two centipedes are monsters, their bodies emit red light, and their Taoism is not shallow after all.
If their bodies are made into swords, The sheath is also worth a thousand pieces of gold."
After saying that, he handed the two chickens to the owner and said in a sincere tone.
He said: "The two chickens worked too hard in this battle.
The chickens will die after only ten days, and the old chickens will die after half a year.
Because they have contributed to others, they must be buried well after death.
In addition, the two chickens fought fiercely with the demon.
At that time, they were all suffering from severe poison, so remember not to eat it, remember this."
After saying that, he turned around and went to rest.
Early the next morning, the guest said goodbye to the host, gave him another two hundred taels of gold to show his gratitude, then put two centipedes in a wooden box and carried them on his back.
Soon the two roosters fell off their feathers and died one after another as the guest said.
The owner followed the instructions and buried the two angry roosters alive.
The peak with the rooster buried there stands today and is called "Golden Rooster Ridge"
