Chapter 391: Cruel Gambling
Under repeated questioning, Zhang Zheng couldn't be as vague as before, so he had to tell the truth and his discernment.
"You are confused!" Hearing the apprentice's words, Xu Tianxiang raised his slap, but in the end he didn't fall, just sighed heavily.
"Damn Meng Jinyu, why is his luck so good?" Then he thought of Tang Yin, how good it would be if it was his apprentice.
Like Zhang Zheng, even if it is ten, a hundred, in his eyes, it is not as good as Tang Yin.
However, it is a pity that Tang Yin will never become his apprentice, although he is not Meng Jinyu's apprentice, but in his opinion, there is no difference, just because Meng Jinyu sent Tang Yin to fight, it can be seen that although the two do not have the name of master and apprentice, they have the reality of master and apprentice.
Xu Tianxiang still walked away, now that the truth has been asked, of course he can't continue to "seek justice", otherwise it will only be unfavorable to them.
The next morning, the crowd went to the small stadium, where the game was played.
Originally, it was just a carving competition for two people, and it was a private competition, which did not attract much attention.
The problem is that the identities of the two people are too special, one is Xu Tianxiang's eldest disciple, Xu Tianxiang can be said to be the first person in the carving world of Longmen today.
The other is a person who Meng Jinyu is optimistic about, Meng Jinyu is the first person to carve in the former Longmen, if it weren't for the decline of his physical strength due to old age, he had to retreat, and there would be nothing wrong with Xu Tianxiang at all.
As a representative of Meng Jinyu, Tang Yin is also regarded as his successor.
Such two people with special identities, even though it is a private competition, has also attracted a lot of attention.
When Tang Yin arrived at his venue, he found that more than 100 people had come, including some celebrities and wealthy businessmen.
"Do you really dare to come?" Xu Tianxiang, who arrived one step earlier, couldn't help but snort when he saw Meng Jinyu coming with Tang Yin.
Meng Jinyu sneered, as if he didn't see Xu Tianxiang, turned his head and chatted with other acquaintances.
"Are you Tang Yin?" At this time, a man walked next to him, in his thirties, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses.
"When you ask someone else's name, don't you know that you report your home first?" Tang Yin had already guessed who he was.
"My mouth is quite hard, I hope that when you compete for a while, you also have real skills under your hands, I am Wan Xingbang!"
"You're still worried about yourself!"
"I don't understand how a cancer like you, who wantonly mutilates others, can get into the carving circle. Wan Xingbang looked at Zhang Zheng not far away and said.
"It seems that you don't know the truth, but this is excusable, or you already know the truth, but you choose to help your relatives and not help, this is your character problem!"
"Sharp teeth, do you dare to make an additional bet?" Wan Xingbang's face was gloomy, he already knew the truth from his master's mouth.
He also knows that first of all, Zhang Zheng is not doing right.
The question is who is Zhang Zheng?
It's his junior brother!
Who is Tang Yin?
He is the disciple of his master's opponent, and even exaggerated to say that he is the enemy, although he is not the enemy of the battlefield of life and death, he is never allowed to consider the problem from Tang Yin's point of view.
"What do you want to add?"
"The additional bet of the two of us, whoever loses in today's game will no longer be a person in the carving circle, and will never pick up a carving knife to engage in the carving industry from now on!" Wan Xingbang raised his voice.
The people around were already paying attention to these two people.
Even if Wan Xingbang doesn't raise the volume, many people can hear it, and now when the volume is raised, less than half of the people can hear it clearly.
"Ruthless enough
, this is to be killed!"
"What does it mean to kill everything, this is obviously bullying the small, the age difference between the two people is more than ten years, and he is really embarrassed!"
"You can't say that, any industry is based on strength, and you can't let you go everywhere just because you're young!"
The crowd of onlookers immediately talked about it, but in the eyes of the vast majority of people, this bet was beneficial to Wanxingbang.
After all, the difference between the two is more than ten years old, but in terms of the number of years of learning art, Tang Yin is far less than Wan Xingbang.
What's more, one of the people who knows the inside story knows that Tang Yin's time to learn carving is only two or three months.
"Xu Tianxiang, this is what you planned a long time ago, isn't it?" asked the jade carving Liu, who came with him, with an ugly face.
"This is Wan Xingbang's private decision, and it has nothing to do with me!" Xu Tianxiang denied it, even if he instructed it, he couldn't admit it.
After all, his identity and status are there, and if he instructed him, he would at least be given the notoriety of bullying the small.
"How many years have you been studying art?" Tang Yin did not answer directly, but asked Wan Xingbang instead.
"I have been in contact with carving since I was eight years old, and now I am Chinese New Year's Eve five, and I have been studying art for more than 26 years, what's the matter, are you afraid?"
"I'm just sorry for you, you have learned carving for more than 26 years, and I have only been learning carving for two or three months, if I win you, your 26 years of time will be wasted, don't you really feel sorry?"
"Do you think you have a chance to win?" Wan Xingbang scoffed.
Since Tang Yin is his opponent, of course he has to know Tang Yin's information, knowing that Tang Yin will only learn carving for two or three months.
He also knew that Tang Yin was a genius.
But no matter how talented you are, there is a limit, two or three months of learning art, twenty-six years of learning art, and there is too much difference in time.
More than 26 years, even if you take away a lot of time, 26 years has 312 months, compared with 3 months, the difference in time is 100 times.
What's more, Wanxingbang itself is also quite talented in carving, and is even called a genius by many sculptors.
The same genius, one has only studied for two or three months, and the other has practiced hard for more than three hundred months, who will win?
Wan Xingbang is confident that he will win, and it will be a crushing advantage, and he will win simply and completely.
Even he had a feeling that he was bullying people.
"Since it's a game, no one can decide whether you win or lose until the final result is in. Tang Yin didn't remember to say it at all.
"Xu Tianxiang, do you really want to destroy your eldest apprentice?" Hearing the proposal of the two people to make a bet, Meng Jinyu said with a smile.
If you want to say that the people present have the most confidence in Tang Yin, I am afraid it must be him, he was also shocked by Tang Yin's demonic qualifications at the beginning.
"I think it's Tang Yin who will be ruined, and letting my apprentice Wan Xingbang compare with him is simply bullying children, but this is a competition, and you took the initiative to send Tang Yin out, so you can't blame me!"
"Very good, in that case, let's all be a witness!" Meng Jinyu said with a smile.
"You haven't answered me yet, do you dare to raise? Don't worry, even if you don't, no one will laugh at you for being cowardly, after all, you are much younger than me. Hearing the conversation between the master and Meng Jinyu, Wan Xingbang became even more proud.
"I'm afraid you'll regret it after you lose!" Tang Yin was not polite.
"All the old-timers present, distinguished guests, I Wan Xingbang and Tang Yin competition carving, in this competition, if I lose, I will quit the carving circle, never to engage in the carving industry again!"
As soon as he turned around, he clasped his fists in front of everyone and said loudly.
In front of the public, in front of so many people, Wan Xingbang spoke, although this kind of gambling contract has no legal effect, but it has been said in the public, as long as it is a person who wants face, he will definitely abide by it.
"All the old-timers present, all the ......" Seeing Wan Xingbang do this, Tang Yin smiled and did the same.
In this way, the bet contract between the two has been formed.
If anyone loses, but does not abide by the agreement, at least the reputation in Longmen will stink, and there will be no big development.
"How can you promise him?" Seeing that the wood was already in the boat, Liu Zhen, the jade carving who had been giving Tang Yin a look and making him find an excuse to shirk, was a little anxious.
He admitted that Tang Yin had a unique talent in carving, good understanding, and high learning efficiency, but after all, he had only studied for two or three months, which was too short.
"It's too late for you to regret now, I allow you to regret it, as long as you go to my junior brother and apologize to him in front of everyone, I can cancel the bet with you immediately!" Seeing the anxious appearance of Yudiao Liu, Wan Xingbang smiled proudly.
Hearing Wan Xingbang's words, everyone looked at Tang Yin.
In the eyes of many, this is a great opportunity.
Apologize, and there won't be a piece of meat missing.
At this time, on the roof of the side stand awning, there are two people watching the excitement condescendingly.
"Do you think the senior brother can win?" both men were close to thirty, and the man with the shaved head asked the man with the shaved head.
"The elder brother is a carving genius, and has studied art for more than 20 years, and has visited many famous teachers, gathering the strengths of each family, to say something ugly, and the master has a comparison, of course it is a win!" The man replied without thinking, which shows his confidence in Wanxingbang.
"Senior Brother Seven, the game is about to start, why don't we go down?" the inch-headed man urged the split-headed man to go down.
"I won't go down, it's rare to be such a good place to watch the game from a high vantage point, I decided to watch it here!"
"Isn't that okay?"
"What's so bad about it, it's condescending here, and you can see the whole picture, which is much more comfortable than in the stands below!"
"Then I won't go down either!Hey, senior brother, why did you bring the slingshot?" When the inch-headed man spoke, he saw the seventh senior brother take out a leather bag.
He immediately remembered that in addition to carving, Senior Brother Seventh also liked to play with slingshots very much, and he shot very accurately.
From a distance of 30 meters, the egg can be shot accurately.
It's just that the slingshot is not allowed to be played in public in the city, otherwise I am afraid that I will be called to tea by the police uncle.
"I'll bring it, naturally it's my use!" The man took out the slingshot and put it aside, without answering the question directly.
Below, the game is about to begin.
Because the two sides made a temporary raise, and it was a heavy bet related to the future, which made the atmosphere of the game even more tense.
"I, Shen Tubao, as the host of this competition, officially ask the two of you, are you ready for the game, or do you have any questions?"
Shen Tubao is a host recognized by both parties, because he is a celebrity of Longmen, and he was a basketball referee before his retirement, although he presided over the carving competition and crossed over.
Whether it is with Xu Tianxiang or Meng Jinyu, there is no stake, and he can remain neutral as much as possible.
"I'm ready, and I don't have any questions!" Tang Yin replied immediately, and then looked at Wan Xingbang.
If Wan Xingbang has no doubts, the carving competition will officially begin, and it will not be allowed to quit halfway, unless someone admits defeat!
