Chapter 99: Bet on a finger
After Du Xiaoyong came to the Shiyuan Inn, he walked out directly with Xingyun and a few people, and came to the three most prosperous central streets in this stone city, which are the paradise of stone gamblers.
Xiaoxiao hugged Xiaobai, and the monkey turned into Wang Qi's appearance and followed a few people, although the thin old man said that the monkey's fiery eyes were useless, but it never hurt to try.
"Brother Xiao Yong, how about you bet on stones?" Xingyun asked.
"Let me tell you, there is a saying in this gambling stone world, 'it is difficult for immortals to break an inch stone' only after cutting and dissecting can there be a real conclusion, so a large part of the success of this gambling stone depends on luck, but I am different from others, I am born with a special sense of spirit stone, and the success rate is much higher than that of ordinary people. ”
Du Xiaoyong looked proud, but Xingyun and the others didn't refute it, after all, the hidden flower was bloomed by him.
"Can't the Heavenly Eye see through what's inside the spirit stone?"
"I don't have a heavenly eye, how do I know, but I heard that it seems to be the case, the inside of the spirit stone seems to be isolated from the heavenly machine..."Du Xiaoyong is not sure about this either.
As soon as I walked out of the Shiyuan Inn, large and small gambling stone workshops appeared on the street, and several people found a small workshop, and then strode in.
There are dozens of spirit stones of all sizes in this gambling stone workshop, different spirit stones have different colors, red, yellow, white, black, and mixed color spirit stones, which look extremely bright.
"This little brother, although the scale of our gambling stone workshop is not large, there are many types of spirit stones, you can choose at will, and each spirit stone has a clear price. As soon as Xingyun and the others walked into this gambling stone workshop, a chubby middle-aged man greeted them.
He is the only one in this gambling stone workshop, and it is estimated that he is the owner of this shop.
"Boss Zhu, if there are any new goods in the spirit stones in your store, let's take a look." Du Xiaoyong seemed to be very familiar with the chubby middle-aged man.
"Du Xiaoyong, you came just in time, I really have a batch of new goods, do you want to take a look. ”
"I wish the boss just take it out. ”
The chubby man brought a few people to the store, only to see that there were no shelves for spirit stones, but there were more than a dozen spirit stones scattered on the ground, some large and some small.
"This is the new spirit stone that arrived today, I haven't had time to classify it yet, you pick it, I will buy it for you at cost price, a spirit stone is ten high-grade spirit stones no matter how big or small. ”
As soon as the chubby man spoke, he saw Du Xiaoyong squatting on the ground, and then touched the spirit stone on the ground with his hand.
Du Xiaoyong's expression suddenly became serious, he touched a half-meter-high stone on the ground with his hand, his eyes were still watching every texture on this spirit stone, and then he put his ears on it, closed his eyes, and listened to something attentively.
But soon, Du Xiaoyong walked to another spirit stone, touched it, and looked at it, but he still shook his head and looked at the next spirit stone......
It didn't take long for Du Xiaoyong to suddenly pick up a spirit stone the size of a watermelon, and he was happy.
"What did you find?" Starshift asked.
"That's right, how could I, Du Xiaoyong, return empty-handed as soon as I got out of the horse, there is definitely a treasure in this spirit stone, and there is a certain possibility that it may be a pill spirit pulp, because I feel that the thing inside is a liquid. ”
"No, why can't I hear the sound of water?" Xingyun snatched the watermelon-sized spirit stone, shook it in his hand, and said suspiciously.
"The spirit stone is so undamaged that it can even isolate the heavenly machine, let alone the sound of water. Du Xiaoyong rolled his eyes at Xingyun and laughed at Xingyun's ignorance of gambling stones.
"Monkey, you look at it with the eyes of the sky. Nebula whispered to the monkey.
"It's a blur, nothing to see. The monkey said truthfully, but the monkey himself was a little depressed, and his invincible eyes could not see through a stone.
"Little Brother Xingyun, otherwise you can also pick a spirit stone, we will compare whose spirit stone is more valuable. Du Xiaoyong took the watermelon-sized spirit stone from Xingyun's hand and said.
"Anyway, no matter how big or small, it's ten high-grade spirit stones, so I chose the half-meter-high stone, such a big one, I don't believe there is nothing in it. Xingyun pointed to the big stone that Du Xiaoyong had touched for the first time.
Twenty top-grade spirit stones were handed over to the chubby boss Zhu, and Xingyun and Du Xiaoyong bought two spirit stones.
Du Xiaoyong found a stone-cutting knife from the store, the black short knife didn't look sharp, and even very blunt, but the black knife fell on the half-meter-high spirit stone, and I saw that the outer skin of the spirit stone was suddenly cut open, and the hard spirit stone was like a piece of tofu under the cutting of this black short knife.
"Although this short knife looks a little dull, it is specially used to cut spirit stones. Du Xiaoyong guessed the reason why Xingyun and the others were shocked.
The black stone cutter continued to cut through the half-meter-high stone, and layer after layer of stone fell to the ground, but there was nothing inside, only a little spiritual energy contained in this spirit stone drifted outside.
In the end, the entire spirit stone was cut open, but there was nothing inside, this big stone was just a new spirit stone that could breathe out spiritual energy, and nothing had been born in it.
"Such a large piece of spirit stone, there is nothing in it?"
"Don't be surprised, let's see how my spirit stone is. ”
Du Xiaoyong glanced at Xingyun, and was about to cut open the watermelon-sized spirit stone in his hand.
However, this time Du Xiaoyong started very lightly, cutting off the corners of the spirit stone little by little, very carefully.
As the gray-brown stone chips fell to the ground, the spirit stone was really opened by Du Xiaoyong, and a white film suddenly appeared, and then something the size of a human head was taken out under Du Xiaoyong's knife and knife.
The white film the size of a human head, obviously wrapped in a lot of liquid, looked very elastic, and now it was faintly fluorescent in Du Xiaoyong's hand, but the goods were not very happy.
"It's not Dan Ling Pulp, it's ordinary stone milk, but it's not a loss to look at this amount. ”
Du Xiaoyong took out a jade bottle, then pierced a small hole in the white film, and then poured the milky white liquid inside, and the fragrance of the stone milk was also emitted with the puncture of the white film, which was refreshing.
"Let's go to other gambling stone workshops. Du Xiaoyong said hello to the fat boss and walked out of the store with a few people.
"Aren't there still a lot of spirit stones on the shelves outside that store, why don't you take a look at them together?" asked Shinoshi.
"I've seen it all before when I'm idle and have nothing to do, let's mainly take a look at the newly shipped spirit stones in each gambling stone workshop, and this kind of spirit stone has a greater chance of opening things. Du Xiaoyong smiled cunningly.
There are countless gambling stone workshops on these three streets, and the small workshops among them are even more mixed, mud and sand, and even some workshops use ordinary stones to pass off as spirit stones.
Xingyun and a few people followed Du Xiaoyong to visit seven or eight gambling stone workshops in a row, but they didn't gain anything, during which Du Xiaoyong opened another spirit stone, but nothing came out.
"Although gambling on stones is a technical thing, it is also partly due to luck, after all, there are too many uncertainties in this thing, and it is normal to not be able to open something. Du Xiaoyong shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly.
"Brother Xiao Yong, let's try our luck with a bigger gambling stone workshop, the quality of the spirit stones in this small gambling stone workshop is uneven, and it is difficult to find Dan spirit pulp. Xingyi said.
"The biggest gambling stone workshop here is the shop opened by the Shi family, but... Okay, let's go to their Shi family's gambling stone workshop, they are rich in rough stones, maybe we can really find rough stones with Dan spirit pulp. ”
Du Xiaoyong said, and then led a few people towards the street to the west, where the Shi family's gambling stone workshop was opened.
As soon as a few people walked to the street, they saw a very large-scale, gorgeous-looking gambling stone workshop not far away, and there were several colorful rough stones placed in front of the workshop, which were extremely eye-catching.
"Xiaoyong, what are you doing here, is Auntie's body okay?" A woman in a white dress happened to walk out of the gambling stone workshop, and she seemed to be very familiar with Du Xiaoyong.
"Jiaojiao, you came to send tea to the Shi family's gambling stone workshop again, today I opened a lot of stone milk, and tomorrow I will go to your house to send you some, drink more beauty and beauty." ”
"Jiaojiao, Shi Fengxian's bastard didn't bully you, if he dares to bully you, you just tell me, Brother Xiaoyong will help you teach him a lesson. ”
The woman looked about twenty years old, she should be about the same age as Du Xiaoyong, her facial features were very delicate, and the white dress on her body became more and more white, looking very simple, but she was also very beautiful.
"Du Xiaoyong, you villain is saying bad things about my son behind your back!"
A voice suddenly came from the Shi family's gambling stone workshop, the man was dressed in a royal blue brocade robe, with wide sleeves and clouds, and he looked like a young master.
"Shi Fengxian!"
"Du Xiaoyong, your son Lu Ling is the first person to gamble on stones in Shicheng in the previous generation, do you dare to compare gambling stones with me today?"
"Bet on what?"
"Bet on a finger!"
