Volume 2 Jingcheng Treasure Hunt Game (1) Jianghu Miscellaneous Chapter 40 Important Wishes, Archway Search, Break the Formation!
Qi Yuan looked at the same bitter expressions on the faces of the three old men, and realized that the time had come, so he narrowed his eyes slightly and said with a smile:
"By the way, forgive the kid for taking the liberty to ask, do you have any wishes for the old men, or would you like to give the boy a chance to revitalize the master?"
"You mean?"
The next person who took over was the pigtailed old man who had been silent for a long time, or had been observing Qi Yuan's performance. His gaze was relieved, but also a long-lost hope.
Qi Yuan smiled and nodded at the old man:
"With successful cases, others will come to our mountain gate for help, right?"
"But what can we do......
"Yes~" The array spirit hooked his lips and smiled slightly, "Don't you want your children?"
"This ...... To be honest, how can I not look forward to it and worry about it, but those children ......"
Old Man Qin was still a little hesitant, but Qi Yuan understood in seconds and said thoughtfully:
"Do you want the kid to go and find out a little bit about the details first?"
“...... Is it really possible? Even we don't know ...... them."
"Come on, Lao Li, say you don't know, you don't care, do you believe it yourself?" The black-haired fat senior interrupted Old Man Qin's words, and slapped the person on the shoulder and laughed.
After all, what I am most unaccustomed to is his mother-in-law's appearance.
After Master Qin was stunned, he also hid his face and smiled, and crystal tears continued to overflow from the gaps in his rough hands:
"Yes, you have to follow the archway. Where does that bastard go at night......"
"Fang Yan Building. ”
"Don't get drunk. ”
A few old men were suddenly relieved.
Yes, it is said that it is I who misses myself, and I am worried about the past, and it is also myself who always tries to correct those "crooked seedlings".
In fact, don't they want their children to be by their side?
And why is it bewitched and swayed by the thoughts of those "Jackie Chan"?
"Thank you, seniors!"
Qi Yuan bowed his hand respectfully again, then turned around and left. As long as the place has a corresponding name, these "Edgeworth" charms will automatically carry it to the corresponding location.
Then the array spirit who was still standing in place was in a hurry, and while she quickly followed Qi Yuan, her mouth was also crackling, and she couldn't stop at all:
"Hey...... Why can't I see it? You're here to find the treasure of the Suppression Array, why do you take all the inexplicable things on yourself?"
"There's a lot more you don't understand. ”
"Hey, I found that you are really annoying! I used to think I was your little friend, so I was innocent and like something, but now I start to turn my face and deny people?!"
"Go, go, go, talk nonsense. Qi Yuan, who was annoyed, rolled his eyes at the formation spirit, and helplessly explained: "Do you remember what I said before, the key words of the Spring Festival?"
"Joy and life?"
"That's right, then Li Ji and Dan Lu are actually clues that lead to the old men. The old men are dying, but they are still hanging their last breath by the concern in their hearts. And that concern is the selfless love and longing for your children. ”
"So all you have to do now is catch them one by one?" The Array Spirit stared wide-eyed and let out a loud laugh as if mockingly.
Qi Yuan didn't look back, but listening to her flirtatious and extremely flattering tone, he could guess a few points of this person's thoughts. I don't bother to buy anything:
"Not necessarily, there are some people you catch him, and it's useless if you can't catch his heart. As soon as we walked on the front foot, they left on the back foot. Do you think that in this case, the formation will sentence me to clear the level?"
"Uh...... Truly. "It's rare for the array spirit to understand Qi Yuan's deep meaning, and after listening to it, he is still very confused, "So, what do you think?"
"Of course, I went to arrest people, first ask clearly, understand clearly, and then prescribe the right medicine. ”
After speaking, Qi Yuan let him talk a lot next to him, and ignored people anymore.
The speed of the spell was very fast, and Qi Yuan soon came to the Deshun archway mentioned in the old man's words-
A very smoky place, you can hear the shaking dice and all kinds of shouting and scolding when rubbing the pai gow to clear the money.
Qi Yuan was stopped when he entered the door, and if he wanted to enter this place, he had to first replace the broken silver or spirit stones on his body according to the 1:6 or 1:600 ratio.
That is, one spirit stone is enough to cover 600 Shunde knife coins. And this is also the minimum replacement limit here.
Qi Yuan raised his eyebrows, but changed it. No more, no less, just a spirit stone.
As for asking someone from the gambling house to help find someone, it won't work at all. In order to survive reasonably, casinos naturally have many unwritten agreements with gamblers -
Hide your identity to ensure their safety. This is the most basic of these.
As a result, Qi Yuan could only wander around in this casino by feeling.
He had only read it in the plot of the novel before, what kind of protagonist would kill all sides as soon as he arrived at the casino, and all kinds of abilities made him earn a lot of money with his eyes closed?
Someone is angry, suspicious, and unconvinced by him, so the protagonist makes a bet with the casino owner, and then fights all the way, and the last game is thrilling or something.
It's all a routine.
But in real life, there is no such thing at all.
Here, it's not a matter of three.
That is, if you win three times in a row on the same day, you will be approached by the relevant personnel of the gambling house, and someone will rely on instruments to test, and you will rely on spiritual power or other abilities to cheat or not.
Or are you smarter and never win in a row? Sorry, if you win more than nine in an hour on and off, you will also be stopped for inspection.
Moreover, once the gamblers are angry or lose and do not give money, they will be approached by the security guards in the building - it is worth mentioning that the security personnel here are all invited by the owner of the archway at a high price from the Storm Listening to the Rain Building, and the minimum repair is the Yuan Infant Period.
So if you want to do something, it's a complete fool's dream!
Moreover, although the archway is opened in this rural town, the terrain is remote. But if you want to talk about the strength of cultivation, not only the dealers are all monks who are not shallow in cultivation, but even among the gamblers who often come, there are few to mess with.
Fortunately, Qi Yuan is rich, and the saying that money can make ghosts push and grind is not false. He threw the 600 Shunde knife coins directly into the arms of a hairy boy known as "Shunde Know-it-all" in a corner.
Although that kid had already been proficient in this trade, he was still surprised by Qi Yuan's magnanimity, and he checked the bag with some hesitation, it was that weight. Shook it again, and listened to the tinkling sound, which was also the corresponding amount.
Qi Yuan smiled a little, and the array spirit who was staring silently on the side was also a little powerless to complain: "Do you want to open it again and take a look at the count?"
The consequence was that Qi Yuan knocked on her head with two more violent shudders, and said: "You can't count it in person, this is the rule in the archway." Ahem, friend, can you come with me now?"
"Ah, of course. This big brother, where do you want to go first? What do you want to see?" The kid scratched his head with a shy smile, and quickly returned to normal after Qi Yuan proposed to take a casual look.
Extremely naturally, he led Qi Yuan like a professional tour guide and walked towards the interior of the building from the side door.
This Deshun archway covers a wide area, and the largest one-story building stands along the street, and the identity of the monk is recognized after the corresponding currency is replaced.
The internal terrain is also very broad, the current gambling house is the original ten shops including the backyard to open up one after another, and then re-paved with green bricks, wooden walls and other decorations, with the Tai Chi Bagua momentum to establish the outfield of the Deshun archway.
And according to the direction of the south and the north, with "dry for the horse, Kun for the cow, Zhen for the dragon, Xun for the chicken, Kan for the pig, Li for the pheasant, Gen for the dog, and the sheep for the sheep." Such totems are represented, and corresponding tables are set up respectively.
And after the two directions of the cow table and the sheep table of the exchange position, go inside along the two paths, and there are two hanging flower doors that go to the "yin" and "yang" of the Deshun archway.
The young man stood in the sheep intestine path behind the Kun position, facing Qi Yuan and introducing him:
"Presumably, this big brother is new to the city, and he doesn't know much about our archway. What we were looking at outside just now was the outfield set up and open to non-cultivators and low-level monks in our archway-Qiankun.
Since the beginning of these two trails, it has officially entered the infield of our archway specially open to cultivators - Liangyi. ”
Qi Yuan skimmed in the direction of his finger, but only saw a tall and thick shadow wall. The central area of the wall is made of many square bricks placed at an angle of 45 degrees, and many lotus flowers are carved on the central square bricks.
Behind it is a low wall splashed with blue and black paint, and painted with vermilion and pale cyan paint.
The distance between the low wall and the outfield is not very wide, but rather a small alley. At the beginning and end of this "alley", there are two small doors.
The young man stood in the middle of the alley, pointed to the Tai Chi pattern on the shadow wall, and elaborated:
"The two instruments are divided into yin and yang, and along this 'Nai He Bridge' to your left hand direction, there is an infield called 'Yin', which specializes in auctions, orders and other activities. Of course, those who have the ability can also take orders. In it, everyone's news is top secret, and you can show yourself with confidence.
On the right hand side of you, there is the 'yang' infield, which is no different from the outfield. The only thing is that there are many powerful people, and the items that can be gambled are no longer just money, and there are many people who spend a lot of money.
Where do you want to go first?"
"Let's go to the Yang Uchiba first. ”
Qi Yuan guessed that Master Qin's grandson might not have the courage or interest to go to any auction house.
The gambling house in the infield, compared with the outfield, may have a higher winning rate due to the powerful ability of those who cultivate the true power. Therefore, it is inevitable that some low-level monks who do not believe in evil will try to go in and fish in troubled waters.
After receiving a definite reply, the young man led him all the way to the right, until the end, when he took out a special waist tag made of meteorite from his bosom and pressed it straight to the dark wall.
Then, a bright and beautiful hanging flower gate appeared in front of Qi Yuan's eyes.
This hanging flower gate is a style that Qi Yuan has never seen before, its outer eaves column is not erected from the ground, but hangs on the horizontal wood of the middle column, and the little brother called it a vertical column.
And the lower end of the vertical pillar has a curtain of hanging beads, which is decorated with colorful pieces of spiritual stones that are carved as upright lotus flowers, so it is called the hanging flower gate.
The pendulum gate is very cleverly set up. Because it is deliberately broken and carved into the shape of a small lotus flower blooming, the abundant aura is leaking all the time.
In this realm, because the number of monks is overcrowded, and the spiritual energy is always sucked away by the subconscious spiritual vein operation of a few powerful people sitting in the village. In order not to give those monks a sense of spiritual oppression and powerlessness, the effect of this hanging flower gate is significant.
To enter the inner field from the hanging flower door, you must first pass through the space between the inner eaves columns and the middle column on both sides of the corridor connected with the hand-copying verandah.
"In this way, this torii is beautifully built. I don't know, I thought I had entered the courtyard of the inner house!"
The array spirit, which had rarely stopped for a while all the way, began to sigh again.
Qi Yuan didn't want to deal with her at all, but the young man next to him took over:
"Haha, because our archway was originally acquired in the courtyard of the inner house that originally stood here. Later, there were more people and more power, so our owner made these distinctions. ”
"Oh, I wonder if you can take the liberty of asking, who is your owner?"
"Well, that's fine. Or this has spread all over our branches in the Shunde archway, and the Demon Sect Leader Yu Wuji is our owner. ”
The young man said, giving a particularly proud thumbs up. And Qi Yuan, who didn't know anything about the characters he was talking about, but obviously remembered the Jade Clan, the eight major families of the Upper Realm Miao City, could only raise his eyebrows and silently remember it in his heart.
Such an interesting place, if you have the opportunity in the future, you will definitely visit again.
Once inside, it's easy to find someone. After the kid who led the way returned, Qi Yuan began to look for someone with great fanfare, after all, in this extremely noisy environment, his voice was not surprising at all.
After pretending to wander around for a while, Qi Yuan went straight to a big man sitting in the archway:
"Big brother, did you see that friend who was with me just now? He took my storage bag and still hasn't returned it!"
Then he inquired like this, and soon found his son, a drunken gambler, according to what the old man had described.
Qin An was lying in the corner of the wall retching like a puddle of mud, and after the wine was exhausted, he pulled his cloth bag, and was ready to rush back to the gambling table and fight again!
And Qi Yuan stopped him halfway through:
"You are the son of Old Man Qin?"
Qin An's wine woke up for three minutes, he glanced at Qi Yuan with extra vigilance, and found that he was just a mere foundation building period, so he visibly relaxed, and a trace of fierceness flashed on his thin and yellow face:
"What is it? Who are you who dare to stand in the way of the master?"
Qi Yuan didn't care what he thought, and after confirming that he hadn't found the wrong person, he knocked people out with a sound of "bang!"
The array spirit worked hard to catch Qin An, who had fainted, and then quickly took out the Qiankun bag and threw the person in, unable to complain: "Ah......? Why can't I understand your routine?"
"If you can do it, you will never force it, this is called professionalism. ”
"Huh?"
"Ahem, less nonsense, keep up...... Hmm, what does that mean?"
As soon as Qi Yuan wanted to end this farce quickly and quickly arrest the other individuals to the old men, he found that the way he came had already been blocked by a human wall.
"Oh, we also want to ask the little boy what this means? When he came to our Shunde archway, he still thought that he would kidnap someone without explaining anything?"
The answer was a tall and strong man, with a simple inch that could cover the ring scar on the top of his head. And beside him were a group of tall men dressed in uniform black clothes, silver crowns and hostas.
Qi Yuan raised his eyebrows, I'm afraid this is the shopkeeper of the Shunde Archway Branch, as well as the rumored guards from the Listening to the Wind and Rain Building.
"If I explained: Zai Xia was only commissioned by a few old people to come and take away his unfilial son. In this way, how many people are willing to let them go?"
"Huh. Anyone can tell a deceitful nonsense, so how can you prove that what you say is true?
The big man sneered, but a pair of sharp and narrow phoenix eyes kept looking at the young man in front of him who was very ordinary in clothes, appearance, and even force.
Qi Yuan didn't have a weak heart and didn't resist at all, and let him put pressure on his spirit, but instead slightly hooked the corners of his mouth and laughed:
"Then, according to your meaning, only the real chapter will be seen under your hands, right?"
was choked by him like this, not only the big man burst out laughing. Even the guards behind him, who had been as tall as a pine, couldn't help but grin.
Only one of the slightly shorter young secret guards couldn't resist any agitation, and stood up a little angrily, pointing at Qi Yuan with his finger and shouting:
"Yo he, your list of foundation building children is quite big! It's not good to open your eyes and look at the cultivation of a few masters!"
Then, as if to match his words. The dark guard group burst out the interior of their spiritual roots one after another, and the cultivation level was clearly marked in the faint aperture, and the lowest cultivation was in the middle of the Yuan Infant.
"Oh. So what?"
Qi Yuan's expression was as calm as ever, and the content of his words was as annoying as ever.
The array spirit who silently suppressed his sense of existence on the side was a little afraid that the other party would rush up with a machete angrily with his open mouth.
On the contrary, Qi Yuan's fearlessness is right.
The strong boss touched his head with a smile, and his smile was unexpectedly a little honest:
“...... You kid, you're really boring. ”
Qi Yuan was also polite and returned a bow that was neither humble nor arrogant.
Only the Array Spirit was still confused, "So what are you guys doing?"
"Ahem. Our Shunde archway is very humane, and it is not a day or two for this bastard surnamed Qin to come here. Because he has the same surname, it is inevitable to take care of him a little more. ”
Qin Erzhu, the boss of the strong man, couldn't help but sigh lightly as he spoke, as if he thought of himself. But he soon came back to his senses and shook his head:
"We found out when the old man came in to see him from a distance, and we quietly came down to mention it......"
"But it's useless?"
"Not really. He listened to our suggestions, but he always said that he wanted to do another one, the last one. If you win big, go home. But our side is a torii, not a charity ......."
For this kind of person who refuses to change, he really can't do it. Originally, the two had nothing to do with each other, and if he mentioned a few words, it could be regarded as benevolence and righteousness.
The focus of the bulging array spirit was completely crooked, and his eyes widened and he complained: "So, this big brother, you just brought people to scare us?"
Uncle Qin was reminded like this, and then he suddenly came back to his senses and smiled awkwardly:
"Ahem, I almost forgot to get down to business. We have specially made a lie detector charm in the Shunde archway, you just need to put your hand on it, and say those words again. ”
"In the future, it would be best if this guy could change his self-confidence. ”
Uncle Qin smiled slightly, his eyes full of warm light.
"Tsk, you ...... It's really not like those black-hearted bosses can say it. ”
"I'm not doing this business to make a living, how can there be those novels like romance that don't use knives and guns. Behind them, these brothers also have families to protect. ”
"Well, thank you. I'm sorry for you to go this way. ”
"Hmm. Goodbye. ”
......
After Qi Yuan said goodbye to everyone, he went to the places provided by the old men to arrest people one after another according to this method.
In the end, everyone was thrown out of the bag, and those muddy people were also all kinds of anger:
"Don't be afraid, brothers, let's go together!"
Qi Yuan's answer was "Bang!Bang!Bang!" and beat them one by one.
"Do you know what you're doing wrong?"
"This ...... This big brother. No, uncle, do you have any advice?"
"Oh, me. It's here to repay the favor. ”
"Huh?"
No, what's this thing about?
Then Qi Yuan began to make it up, and he still came as soon as he opened his mouth. I'm inexplicably proud, ah, I'm really a novelist.
What he said was that they had recently received a lot of prayers from the old man, saying that they wanted to see their sons who had gone to cultivation and broken off their love before the end of their lives.
They didn't think about it, but they were later rescued by the old man by chance. Looking at the miserable status quo of the lonely old people, it is even more uncomfortable
They came to observe the elder brother for a while, and decided to go back and deceive the old man, saying that they are living a good life now, which is very good, very powerful, but the old people cried miserably after being happy, and said Immortal Chief, we actually all know that they are not Xiuzhen to break off love, but decadent nests in the Qinglou Chu Pavilion Fox fake tiger Wei is unwilling to return.
Then Qi Yuan was angry and ready to squash them.
Several young people were stunned, and Qi Yuan really beat them and left. In the middle of the night, those people secretly went back. The old man woke up with tears in his eyes, the illusion disappeared, and the two went back.
"Even if nothing is accomplished, is companionship the best care?
"It's not what I think, but it's what it is. But human beings are extremely self-protective creatures. It's love, but it has to be shown in a particularly awkward way......"
"You seem to understand it very well?" the array spirit turned into a gossip face in seconds.
"It's your business!
