Volume 14 Chapter 3: Big Gambling

"    Inn, one hundred taels of silver is a day. Monsters are 50% off, humans are doubled!" ~ In the city, similar notices are posted on the doors of many inns. More than 90% of the inns have signs hanging high at the entrances of the inns.

Qingxutian and Luo Shengtian's three-year magic competition was held in Tongsha City. At the same time, Tongsha City is also a well-known gambling city in the world. On the streets, gambling houses are lined up, and the roofs are decorated with shiny copper-plated dice. Boiling sounds surge out from behind the door curtain, as if turning the entire city into a hot oil pan.

Several people in Taoist robes walked past me and turned around and cursed from time to time. A turtle demon stood at the door of the inn, with his hands on his hips, spitting at their backs.

"Hey, a good dog won't block the way! You are talking about it, don't stand at the door to hinder the guests!" The little turtle demon waved to me impatiently, and his neck shrank and stretched out when he spoke.

"I'm staying in a hotel!" I grabbed his turtle shell, picked him up, and said viciously. To deal with such waiters who bully the weak and fear the strong, they must be tougher than him.

The turtle demon was not panicked at all, and sneered: "Three days later, it will be the magic competition between Qingxutian and Luo Shengtian. From today on, the price of food and accommodation will increase. One hundred and fifty taels of silver a day. Can you afford it?"

I threw him away and took out more than ten ingots of gold ingots from my arms. It lit up in front of him: "Stop talking nonsense, don't you lead the way?" The big bag of gold, silver and jewelry was at the Rat's house. On the way these days, I used the Chaos Armor Control Technique and filled the empty money bag.

To my surprise, the little turtle demon did not obey, but instead snorted arrogantly, turned around, and pointed to the tortoise shell on the back. The shell suddenly read: "Humans and dogs are not allowed to enter."

Wow, this is not a pause. I was about to do it. The turtle demon shouted, and several heroic bear demons ran out of the inn, rolled up their sleeves, stared at the gold ingots in my hand maliciously, and hummed a little tune: "We monsters have power, hey! have power!"

"Sun, you blinded your turtle eyes. Uncle, I am the chicken-claw demon on the Moshatian Black Wind Ridge!" I adapted to the situation, kicked the turtle demon with a fierce momentum, and then poked out a dragon butterfly red claw. It shook in front of the monsters.

"It's a bit like a chicken claw." The little turtle demon looked at the dragon butterfly claws, got up, led me into the inn, and said embarrassedly: "It turns out that it's his brother, I offended it. You are also here to see the magic competition, right? But brother, I have never heard of the Black Wind Ridge in Moshatian?"

"I am ignorant! I am a king and I have been rampant for more than a thousand years." I talked nonsense and inquired, "Has the world of the world now become our world?"

Walking up to the second floor, the turtle demon pushed a room open and proudly boasted: "A bustling downtown like Daqian City and Tongsha City, as long as it comes from the Mosha Heaven, we can walk sideways. Many humans are forced to run away by us. The turtles are retreating into the remote mountains and regions. When the humans who stay here see us, they are all honest and dare not let a single fart."

I'm afraid I dare not speak out, right? I said in my heart. If this continues, the oppressed humans have nowhere to settle down. Qingxutian and Luo Shengtian are not qualified to enter, and they will rebel sooner or later. Thinking of this, my heart moved, Qingxutian, Luo Shengtian let monsters invade Hongchentian, was it because he wanted to force the humans and monsters in Hongchentian to fight against?

The turtle demon was so excited that he slapped the turtle shell and shouted: "For example, I, Dugu little turtle, used to be just a servant of this inn. I was bullied by the mean human shop owner all day long. Since the Demon Lord entered Hongchen Heaven, I killed the shop owner, seized the inn, and led the company. We also wanted to kill Shangqing Xutian, Luo Shengtian, and Jixiangtian, and turn the entire northern territory into the paradise of our monsters!"

I smiled bitterly. In the past, the monsters in the world were bullied by humans. Now, if they are not unlucky, what is the difference between the two? The more I feel that Chu Du’s ambitions will not bring much benefits to the North. After pondering for a while, I said, “It may not necessarily become our paradise. Once a war with humans begins, how many monsters can survive?”

Dugu Xiaogui shrank his neck in fear: "You dare to say such a ruthless person? If the city lord Shui Liulang knows, you will be dismembered! Don't blame me for not reminding you. Tongyao City is full of the city lord's eyes and ears." He looked outside the door carefully and whispered: "Why do you care about so much? Just have fun now."

Shui Liulang actually came to Tongsha City to be the city lord, and I was a little surprised. He beat Dugu Xiaotu with an ingot of gold ingots. I stood at the window and pondered alone.

There were bursts of noise from the gambling house diagonally opposite the wind. Occasionally, one or two roars of "Open the big, open the small!" suddenly sounded, and were immediately overwhelmed by the loud noise.

These gamblers could at least choose to bet clearly, but I was in a dilemma. The Moshatian controlled by Chu Du had long regarded me as an enemy; the Zhuang Meng of Qingxutian was eyeing me covetously; and the competition with Wuyan made me make many enemies in Rashengtian. Yangyang's northern border seemed to have no place for me to stay.

Why, I will be bullied by them?

"Hide your name and find a place to hide, and you may be able to keep your life safe." Yuehun joked.

"Impossible! Isn't my magic practice in vain? At least I have made a name for myself in the North. Should I give up everything and be a turtle with a head-shrinking turtle?" I snorted coldly: "By the eight magical techniques of spiritual consciousness, the North should have my position as Lin Fei."

"You have changed." Yuehun was silent for a while and said, "Your spells keep getting stronger and more treasures are getting more and more. You don't want to be an ordinary person anymore. I still remember when we first met, you just wanted to live simply."

After a long silence, I nodded. "The more you have, the more you choose, and the more you want." I looked down at the door of the gambling house, the people and monsters who were in and out, and looked at their ecstatic or depressed faces. When there was no silver, I just wanted to have enough food. With one or two silver, I wanted to bet more money, and my desire was always rising.

"Human and earth change often without realizing it." I said calmly: "Add to learn from a master, love Shanghai Ji, get the Chi Gun, evolve and ascend.

Rather than saying that it was me who changed me. The more money I had accumulated in my bag, would I have to take them to hide in the remote countryside for the rest of my life? Then what's the point of getting them?"

Yuehun said silently: "From the moment you killed Dingxiangchou, everything has been different. In the past, you would not attack innocent people."

"Just eliminate hidden dangers. If I don't kill her, Chu Du will kill her." I lowered my head and stared at Yuehun deeply: "You came to me. It's just that you want to avenge Mei. Isn't my change just right for you?"

Yuehun avoided my gaze and smiled bitterly: "Standing from the perspective of a friend, I hope you are the same."

"But you will eventually stand on the stance of charm, just like Tuobafeng. You all have unself-designed choices." I sighed softly: "What is in the world that will not change?"

Yuehun murmured: "This sentence seems to be said by Chu Du."

"What's the difference?" I sneered: "Chu Du, Zhuang Meng, and Concubine Hai, they want to deal with me, and I won't let them live. Yuehun, open your mung bean eyes and look at it carefully! I want to use the contradiction between Moshatian, Qingxutian, and Luo Shengtian. Show off my strength and make waves!"

"Boy, I love hearing these words!" Chi roared excitedly: "People with Chi guns should dominate the northern border and dominate the world!" The roar was like wild flames, burning in my chest.

In a trance, the figure of the beggar finally got further and further away from me and completely disappeared.

"Get out of money when you have no money, don't be here!" Angry curses came from the Shunfeng Gambling House, and then a little old man rolled out like a gourd. He got up and escaped a few feet away. He turned around and grinned at the Gambling House, with a bruised and swollen face. He looked very funny.

Madam Madam? I was surprised and happy. I quickly flew out of the window and grabbed him: "Why are you here? Where are Hai Ji and the others?"

The Rat looked at me blankly: "Who is your priest?"

I spitted at the corner of his clothes. The rat man lowered his head and sniffed it, his face full of ecstasy: "Is it the young master? It's really you! Why did you become this weird?" He lifted up the corner of his clothes, licked the saliva carefully, and smacked his lips with relish: "Well, authentic ambergris, it tastes great."

I felt chills, and Madam Rat said flatteringly: "Young Master, you can escape from Chu Du. It's amazing, I'm worthy of being the loyal master of the old slave." Suddenly, I hugged my legs and cried loudly: "Young Master, I'm sorry to you. For the sake of my loyalty, please spare me."

My heart sank: "What's wrong?"

The Rat Master was sad and spread his hands: "I lost all the burdens you gave me with gold and silver treasures." He pointed to Shunfeng Gambling.

"Have you all the bets?" I was dumbfounded and said sternly: "Even the purple jade box lost?" It's okay for other gold and silver treasures, but I carry the most valuable seven-emotion and six-desire mirrors and small stoves with me. But the purple jade box handed over to me by Concubine Hai was still in the bag. This thing is absolutely impossible to throw away.

"Young Master, I'm not a human. I'm sorry for you." The rat master cried miserably, and he burst into tears: "But don't worry, young master, I will take back my treasure even after I have fought my life!" After saying that, he walked towards the gambling house with a heroic spirit and proudly.

"You are not human." I was angry and funny, and I didn't stop it. The rat stepped out with one foot, and the other foot remained in place, turned his head and looked at me with a gaze.

"Stop acting, explain clearly what's going on!"

"The young master's eyes are like torches, and he will be able to see his hair." The old lady smiled awkwardly: "I thought the young master would stop me and stand up for me. It's true, I won't cooperate." After a wiping of his face, all his tears and snot were gone, and he began to talk about the passage in detail.

It turned out that when Chu Du kidnapped me that day, Madame Rat had been hiding nearby and was reluctant to come out. Not long after, the people from the Haidian appeared and took away the seriously injured and unconscious Hai Ji. In the middle of the night, Gan Ningzhen and Jiu Danmei woke up, Wuyan also arrived.

"Then, the little white-faced abducted Fairy Gan, the scorpion demon, and the longan chicken also ran away. Only the lonely and helpless old slave was left, searching for the traces of the young master in a miserable and deserted manner in the vast sea of ​​people." The rat man said sarcastically. He heard that I escaped from Chu Du, and guessed that I would go to Tongsha City to see the magic competition, so he came to Hongchen Tian. He was itchy for a moment and went to Shunfeng Gambling House to play several games, but the more he lost, he lost all the gold and silver treasures in the entire bag.

"Damn, you said you have been hiding nearby, watching Jiu Danmei helplessly, Gan Ning was in a coma and then hid for a month before she dared to show her face?" I was absolutely overwhelmed. I had seen timid people, but I had never seen such timid people.

The rat master looked innocent: "Is it useful for me to come out? I have low demonic power and can't save them. What's more, the old slave shoulders the heavy responsibility of finding the young master. How can I take risks easily? My slave's life belongs to the young master, so I have to cherish it for the young master. If the old slave dies, who will tell the young master Gan Xianzi and the others about the news?"

I was so amused and laughed, but I felt at ease for the time being. Hai Ji was taken away by the meridians and Haidian to heal her wounds. Gan Ningzhen and Jiu Danmei were accompanied by her side, and the three beauties finally had nothing to do.

After thinking about it, I patted the mouse father-in-law: "It makes sense! Let's go, the young master vent his anger for you! I want them to spit out the lost gold and silver treasures obediently!"

With the help of the gopher, I walked to the Shunfeng Gambling House and opened the curtain.

A wave of heat mixed with various smells came to my face, and the magnificent gambling house was filled with hoarse screams. Whether it was a human or a demon, there was no difference at the gambling table. They were like hungry wolves staring at bones, with muscles on their faces tight and nervously clenched their fists. Their bloodshot eyes were shining, filled with desire, and could no longer see anything else.

I suddenly felt that at all times, we are standing at the gambling table in life. We get it for the sake of getting it, and we lose it for the sake of getting it.

I walked around hundreds of gambling tables for a few times. When I squeezed out of the crowd, I had already added gold and silver in my bag.

There was a "bang".

The colorful long sword was pressed heavily on the gambling table.

"Qingming Sword, worth at least 500,000 taels of silver!" The owner of the long sword hissed, and his eyes moved away from the Qingming Sword with difficulty, and slapped the table: "Continue to bet big!"

I couldn't help but smile when I saw this man's two lonely and sharp eyebrows. I really met everywhere in life, but I actually ran into Liu Cuiyu. His eyes were covered in blood, his temples were messy, and his luxurious brocade robe was wrinkled. Several disciples from the eyebrows sect advised him: "Sect Master, this Qingming Sword is the token of the head of our sect. You can't gamble." "Let's go, you have been playing for three days and three nights."

"Shut up!" Liu Cuiyu said in a deep voice, staring at the dealer opposite - an octopus demon: "Five hundred thousand taels of silver, all bets!"

The octopus demon stretched out a tentacle, pulled out the Qingming sword, and gently flicked it. With a "choking", the sword roared, and the shiny sword body was like a pool of clear water. "At most 100,000 taels of silver." The octopus demon narrowed his eyes, touched the sword edge, and handed it back to Liu Cuiyu.

"Are you kidding?" Liu Cuiyu's bloodthirsty eyes seemed to swallow the other party: "This sword is also considered a treasure in Luo Shengtian, how could it be only 100,000 taels?"

"This is not Luo Shengtian." The octopus demon said coldly: "This is our Red Dust Heaven. If you don't want to play, get out!"

"The evil monster!" Liu Cuiyu roared, raised his sword eyebrows slightly, and a green light broke his eyebrows and flew out, pressing against the throat of the octopus monster.

There was no panic in the eyes of the octopus demon, and he calmly patted his tentacles. "Papa-papa", with the loud sound of the tentacles hitting each other, a charming fireworks burst into the entrance of the gambling house and exploded in the air.

Groups of monsters rushed into the gambling house, surrounding the gambling table. There were more and more monsters. With half a burning incense, the gambling house was filled with hideous monsters, and thousands of monsters rushed from all over the streets like a flood.

"Before you, there were at least a few hundred Luo Shengtians. The humans in Qingxu Tiandi were anxious and wanted to move. As a result, they all turned into pieces to feed the dogs." The octopus demon said sarcastically: "Now, this broken sword is only worth 50,000 taels. If you don't want to play, get out!"

"Get out!" Thousands of monsters roared in unison. Liu Cuiyu's face was stiff, and beads of sweat dripped from his forehead. The green light at the throat of the octopus demon suddenly disappeared. Liu Cuiyu said with difficulty: "Fifty thousand is 50,000. Okay big!"

Inside the crystal round glass cover box, three topaz dice sparkled. The tentacles of the octopus demon rolled up the glass box and swayed it hard, and the dice hit and jumped in the box.

"Liu Cuiyu is very cognizable." Madam said quietly.

"Luo Shengtian doesn't want to conflict with Mo Shatian at all, so Liu Cuiyu had to swallow this." I stared at the beating dice and asked in confusion: "It should be easy to control the points of dice with magic, right? Isn't Liu Cuiyu afraid of the other party's tampering with the other party?"

"You can't play any tricks in Tongsha City, even the Demon Lord can't do it." Madam Madam laughed and said, "Young Master doesn't know anything. The dice and Paijiu in the gambling house are made of rare cat-eye jade. Cat-eye jade has a characteristic, which can produce wonderful sensing of spells and magic. Once the dice is controlled by spells and magic, the yellow cat-eye jade will turn dark green, and you can tell at a glance. There is also a glass cover for shaking dice, which is also made of crystal lipid glass that isolates the spell."

My thoughts are turned on. Tongsha City is now the world of monsters. It is impossible to snatch my treasure back. I can only win back from the gambling table. The eight magical techniques of spiritual consciousness and physicality that I created have blended with the spirit and body, and have crossed the boundaries of spells. I don’t know if I can control the dice.

"Bang", the octopus demon suddenly pressed the glass cover box on the table and released the tentacles. The dice rolled and slowly stopped. Six red and bright dice points were like sharp daggers, shave off the last bit of blood on Liu Cuiyu's face.

"Two! Three! One! Small!" The octopus demon said expressionlessly, and the tentacles swept away the Qingming Sword.

Liu Cuiyu's mouth twitched slightly, and her eyebrows were shaking like two poisonous snakes arched up. After a moment of staying calm, he calmed down. After tidying up, he took out a silk squid and wiped his hands, and slowly left. The ridicule of monsters sounded around him, and the monsters who came to the gambling house also dispersed. Looking at Liu Cuiyu's straight back, I thought to myself that this person can be regarded as a character, and he will never drag on the mud after losing everything. He can also restrain his emotions and his mind is much stronger than ordinary people.

"Bet big!" I threw one hundred taels of gold ingots onto the gambling table, which is already half of my current property.

The octopus demon smiled faintly: "The minimum bet here is 10,000 taels of silver."

The rat man nodded to me with a bitter face. I pondered for a moment and took out the lush jade flower from my arms: "How much do you think it's worth?"

The octopus demon's eyes lit up, and his tentacles rolled the Weirui jade flower to his nose. After smelling it, he then said in a pretentious tone: "Twenty-hundred thousand taels."

"By all." The first time I bet, the voice of my speech trembled a little. After taking the chips, my heart pounded. I was also ready. If I lose, I would run away if I snatched Weirui jade.

Inside the glass cover box, three dice jumped in dazzling eyes. My heart was empty, my eyes were tightly locked in the dice, and I tried to use the eight magical techniques of spiritual consciousness and meteorology to observe the reaction of the dice.

"Bang", the octopus demon buckled the glass cover box on the table. The yellow dice rolled drippingly, without changing color at all. I was angry, and the word "Change" penetrated the glass cover box effortlessly and firmly controlled the rolling of the dice. One "Six", two "Six", and three "Six"! Eighteen small dots on the red ground all faced upwards, as if the tempting cherry lips of a beautiful woman.

"Oh my God, three six! Big! Young Master, we won!" The Rat Master was so excited that his whole body trembled and his speech was incoherent.

I laughed. The octopus demon snorted and pushed the chips of 200,000 taels: "Continue to bet. Or exchange money?"
