Chapter One Thousand and Twenty-Seven: The Bet
The next day, 'h'u'0''o'm' was 'newer' and faster
Without anyone urging them, the monks walked out of their ashram and converged in the middle of the canyon.
The monks who had been here for a long time were accustomed to this kind of life, and there was no sparkle in their eyes.
They have long been numb, and this cycle of numb life has made each of them even forget what sadness is, and can only raise their heads, grit their teeth, and passively accept all this.
Of course, the newcomers could not sleep or practice, and most of them sat withered, with deep anxiety and sorrow.
Elder Hu stepped out of the tower, and as soon as he reached out, he threw out a storage bag.
"There are Yin charms in it, new arrivals, one per person, before sunset, return with stones. β
After saying that, he turned around and returned to the tower, but he didn't want to say even a word to everyone.
"Phew, what attitude!" Dugu Sheng said with a cold snort.
He was very dissatisfied with Penglai, and this Elder Hu was of course within the scope of his dissatisfaction.
"For a group of dead people, what kind of face do you expect Elder Hu to have on you?" Wang Song walked out, a flush of excitement appearing on his pale face.
"Today, I am physically disabled, and there is a high probability that I will die, but there is nothing here, there will always be such a day!"
"I'm very happy, happy that the person who died today will not be me, and you, buried with me!"
Wang Song laughed maniacally, like a nervous person.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Who will bury you!" the newlyweds were already nervous, but they were furious when they heard this.
Especially the bearded man stepped forward directly and choked Wang Song's neck.
"You're scared!"
Wang Song was not afraid at all, his heart was already desperate, so his eyes looked crazy.
"You also know that you are a dead end, so you are afraid, do you want to vent your fear in this way? But the more you do this, the more it shows that you are empty-hearted!"
For some reason, the bearded man was originally angry, but after hearing this, the coldness dissipated, he gritted his teeth and threw Wang Song aside.
"On what basis do you assert that we are all going to die?"
"According to the usual practice, the mortality rate of newcomers going out for the first time is more than sixty percent!" Wang Song fell to the ground, stood up with one leg with difficulty, and said coldly: "Do you think you will be an exception? This is fate, accept fate!"
"Fate is all my own, not given by others, my fate is up to me, why should I accept my fate?" Zhang Heng looked at him with some pity in his eyes.
Perhaps the pity in his eyes stung this guy, and his expression suddenly became gloomy.
"From the first moment I was caught here by Penglai, everyone's fate was already doomed!"
"Fate is not predestined, it can change at any time. Zhang Heng shook his head.
"It's up to you to change your fate?" Wang Song sneered and said, "Are newcomers so naΓ―ve?"
"Why don't we make a bet?"
Zhang Heng looked at him with a smile.
"What bet?"
Wang Song was stunned and asked.
"It's very simple, since you are a person who accepts your fate, you are so pessimistic, so eager to see everyone like you, go to Huangquan together...... Then, I'll bet on another possibility!" Zhang Heng said lightly: "Today, no one will die, whether it is a newcomer or an old man!"
What the?
As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.
"Isn't this guy crazy?"
"It's the funniest joke I've ever heard!"
"No one will die, he's afraid he won't live in a fairy tale!"
Everyone laughed, looking at Zhang Heng's eyes, like looking at a fool.
"Aren't you an idiot?" the corners of Wang Song's mouth twitched, unable to believe what he heard.
"It's a bet. Zhang Heng waved his hand, hundreds of jade bottles appeared, he looked at the stunned crowd, and said: "Pills, for you, are all luxuries, presumably your pills have already been consumed, it's better to make a bet with me, if I lose, you take these pills and divide them, how about it?"
Everyone looked at each other, and almost no one hesitated, and immediately said.
"Yes!"
"Why don't you agree to such a good thing!"
"I want this elixir!"
Dugu Sheng picked his nostrils, deliberately flicked at Wang Song's body, and said under the latter's ugly face.
"You don't ask, what happens if you lose?"
A burly man walked out, his cultivation was enough to be in the late stage of Jindan, his eyes were deep, his momentum was calm, and he was obviously the leader of everyone, he said immediately.
"This gamble, we can't lose, if a miracle really happens, no matter what you ask us to do, we will agree!"
Zhang Heng looked at Wang Song.
"Is that so?"
Wang Song glanced at the burly man, as if he was a little jealous, his intuition told him that something was not right, but he couldn't figure out why.
Isn't it true that people don't die?
How is this possible?
Are all ghosts really decorations?
He nodded and said.
"What Boss Wu means is what we mean. β
Boss Wu?
Zhang Heng glanced at the burly man, remembered him, and said.
"Okay, let's go. β
After this episode, whether it is a newcomer or an old man, the fear in his heart suddenly dissipates a lot.
Most people looked weird, they didn't understand, why did Zhang Heng have such a strong self-confidence?
And that Wang Song, but he thought about it left and right, and he couldn't find a flaw, but on the contrary, there was a lingering premonition in his heart.
He was a little irritated, glared at the two of them, and said.
"You are so confident, don't you have the ability to bring the Yin Talisman?"
Without a Yin Talisman?
Boss Wu stopped and looked back at the two of them.
This is a very harsh condition, without a Yin charm, it's just a joke, as soon as you go out, I'm afraid that you will be swallowed by a ghost.
But Zhang Heng and Dugusheng were indifferent and said.
"Yes. β
They didn't plan to bring it in the first place.
The two of them crossed their arms and walked out directly.
Everyone looked at their backs, and they became more and more incomprehensible.
"What the hell are these two guys thinking?"
Wang Song was stunned.
"Wait until evening, and everything will be revealed...... Let's go!"
Boss Wu took a deep breath and walked out.
No one realizes that today's self, compared with the despair and death of the past, has a glimmer of hope and expectation.
This kind of hope was given by Zhang Heng.
He paid such a big price and made such a ridiculous bet, and he must have relied on it.
Although people can't imagine that there is any reliance that can keep everyone alive at the hands of the strangers, at least, they have more expectations than before.
All of a sudden, many people wish they had lost the game.
In this way, at least I can still live.
With this in mind, everyone set out on the road.
The experienced old man, at the beginning, picked up his speed and followed the route in his memory, moving forward at high speed.
Definitely can't stay in one place for too long!
This is a valuable experience that many people have exchanged their lives for.
And because of their experience, they quickly realized that something was wrong.
"These strange ghosts don't seem to attack us......"
Someone bumped into a strange ghost halfway, and the ghosts were all gone, almost desperate, but they found that the strange ghost floated past him as if they didn't see him.
"Why is there such a change?"
Boss Wu looked dazed, and dozens of meters away from him, there was a group of strange ghosts entrenched.
He accidentally broke in, and he was sure to die.
But the group of strange ghosts treated him as air, and they didn't care about him at all.
"Are these strange ghosts also crazy......
Wang Song, who was already disabled, dragged his sick body, and set off with the mood of seeing death as home, but what he saw and heard along the way broke his worldview.
β¦β¦
Not to mention the people who were shocked, today's Zhang Heng and Dugusheng are freely shuttling among the lair of strange ghosts.
They actually crossed this forbidden area of death and walked out in the other direction.
"I can't believe that these ghosts are so honest and obedient!" Dugu Sheng also felt magical.
"It's our luck, and it's also Penglai's misfortune!" Zhang Heng said.
His gaze was looking ahead.
The mountains and rivers are beautiful, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, and a bluestone path leads to the unknowable.
"Where are Moli and Duoduo?"
No one would have thought that two guys with evil intentions could actually cross the forbidden area of death and directly enter the hinterland of Penglai from an unsuspecting position.
"Find Moli, agree on a plan, find the location of the vault, and get ready to go!"
Zhang Heng and Dugusheng glanced at each other, and they both saw the sparks in each other's eyes.
It's time to vent all the way!
