"You...... Alas. While Bai Xiaojie and Xu Hong embarked on the journey to the Divine Sword Temple, he was still regretting why he agreed to Xu Hong just now.

Bai Xiaojie himself often runs out of the town, and it is also a matter of not going home for a few days, but Xu Hong is different, although his status at home is not high, but after all, the Zhang family is also a big family in the town, and he is also a little boy no matter how he says it.

Xu Hong's mother Zhang Ninger is kind to Bai Xiaojie, Xu Hong and he also get along, Bai Xiaojie is really worried that Xu Hong bumped into it along the way, and there is no way to explain it to Zhang Ninger.

"Xiaojie, don't grind and chirp for a while and regret it for a while, you don't know the situation of my family, I will go to the Divine Sword Temple this time no matter what!" Xu Hong said resolutely.

"My Young Master Xu, I know that you are resolute-willed, believe me, since I, Bai Xiaojie, have promised to take you there, I will definitely take you there, but have you ever thought about a question?" Bai Xiaojie said with a little seriousness.

"What's the problem?" Xu Hong asked.

"Incense money! You haven't been there, you don't know there, the sword temple is divided into two places, the outer temple is expanded later, and the one who goes there is the general tourist pilgrims, walking in the form, so the sesame oil money is not very expensive, but the inner temple is an old temple that has been handed down a long time ago, and the people who go are either rich or expensive, and the sesame oil money is expensive and scary, even when your uncle took your cousin there, he hesitated for a long time before he made up his mind to go into the inner temple to ask for a wish. Bai Xiaojie said truthfully.

"It's really a problem, I brought all the money I saved since I was a child, about ten taels of silver. But that's not enough. Xu Hong took out his savings from his pocket and said.

"It should be? It's definitely not enough!" Bai Xiaojie replied affirmatively, "Just entering the inner courtyard will cost fifty taels, and you still ask for a vow, do you want to ask for a vow empty-handed?

"What?!A total of one hundred taels of silver is needed?!" Xu Hong couldn't believe it.

"yes, that's the bare minimum standard. Bai Xiaojie shrugged, "So shouldn't we go back?"

Looking at the shocked and then tangled, frustrated expression on Xu Hong's face, Bai Xiaojie couldn't bear to hit him anymore, and asked directly.

Although Xu Hong was a little depressed after hearing the price, he quickly recovered, and then he didn't seem to hear Bai Xiaojie's question, but looked at Bai Xiaojie with a smile, because the fourth reason for Bai Xiaojie to accompany him was to be used.

"What are you staring at me for? Do I look like I'm rich?" Bai Xiaojie was stared at and felt furious.

"Xiaojie, I remember that you are a man of his word. Xu Hong accentuated the pronunciation of the word man.

"Nonsense! I say nothing, the spit stars can be used as nails!" Bai Xiaojie replied without hesitation.

"Okay, then keep going!" Xu Hong couldn't help Bai Xiaojie with many questions, and continued on the road.

Shenjian Temple is also famous in the towns in this area of the Taihang Mountains, there are many official roads from the big towns directly, the road surface is smooth, and there is no problem with passing three or two carriages at the same time.

The sky was getting whiter, the sun was rising in the east, and only half of the horizon could be seen, and the two teenagers were hurrying on their way.

"Huh?" Bai Xiaojie felt a little strange.

"What's wrong?" asked Xu Hong.

"Are you taking the wrong direction! I felt that the direction was not quite right when it was dark just now, I was so sure that I followed you, the sun is in front of us, and we are now heading east!" Bai Xiaojie exclaimed.

"Yes, it's going east. Xu Hong's expression remained unchanged.

"What, but the Divine Sword Temple is in the west!" Bai Xiaojie looked dazed.

"Don't ask, Xiaojie, just come with me. ”

About half an hour later, the two of them arrived at the largest town in the east, Sword Wind City.

The Skywalker Mountains are revered for swords, and the larger towns in the territory are named after swords.

As soon as the city gate opened, the two of them swaggered into the city, Xu Hong was here for the first time, and he had just heard that after going to the official road from the town, he could reach Jianfeng City forty miles east.

Bai Xiaojie looked at this place with feeling, this was the starting point and the end of his peak back then, but he didn't understand what the two of them were doing here.

"Don't be in a daze, take a break, and then you'll have to be busy. After Xu Hong finished speaking, he found a tea stall to buy breakfast and sat down, and asked for a few steamed buns and a pot of green tea.

Bai Xiaojie looked at Xu Hong while eating, not knowing what kind of medicine was sold in his gourd.

Xu Hong kept looking around while eating, and finally stopped his eyes on a storefront on the street that was surrounded by many people as soon as it opened.

After a while, the steamed buns on the table were eaten, and after a few cups of tea, Xu Hong pulled Bai Xiaojie to this very lively store.

Bai Xiaojie looked up, and the two elegant gilded characters of "Gambling House" came into view.

"Xu Hong, are you in a hurry? Do you want to rely on this method to raise money?" Bai Xiaojie is also a good gambler on weekdays, although he knows that he loses nine out of ten bets, but he also loves this, but seeing that Xu Hong actually wants to rely on this to raise money, he can't help but persuade him.

"Xiaojie, don't worry about me, just watch it here, winning is fate, losing is fate, let me fight this time." Xu Hong looked at Bai Xiaojie and said seriously.

Bai Xiaojie shook his head helplessly, sighed, agreed, and asked Xu Hong to promise that he would go back immediately after losing, and broke off the idea of begging.

After Xu Hong agreed, the two entered the gambling house.

Unexpectedly, Xu Hong did not exchange all the money for chips as Bai Xiaojie thought, but only exchanged one or two silver chips.

Then Xu Hong came to the big and small table and began to bet.

Bai Xiaojie thought that Xu Hong would make a desperate bet to press the leopard, and Shunzi would buy it with very large odds, because even if Xu Hong changed all the ten taels of silver, it would have to be multiplied tenfold to reach one hundred taels, not to mention that now he only changed one or two silver chips.

"Three, four, five, big!"

"Two, five, six, big!"

"One, four, five, big!"

At this time, Xu Hong pressed a tael of silver chips on the small top.

"Two, three, four, small!"

After earning some, Xu Hong then put away the chips and then continued to observe.

Even if Xu Hong is not greedy, he is lucky to open the size with the smallest odds, and the most chips are only three taels of silver.

Here Xu Hong is very patient betting, but on the other side Bai Xiaojie is uncomfortable to death, although this gambling house is not too big, but there are all the things to play inside, than the size, dice throwing, baccarat, mahjong, bragging dice are surrounded by a lot of people, some people are lucky will burst out full of exclamations, some people lose a heavy bet, it is many people sighing together.

Letting a gambler stay in this environment and not be allowed to participate is simply worse than killing him.

Finally, Bai Xiaojie couldn't help it, grabbed Xu Hong, and smiled like a chrysanthemum.

"Eh, Xiaojie, what are you going to do? Although he played for a long time, Xu Hong actually only had three taels of silver chips in his hand.

"Xu Hong, you see that I came out with you in such a hurry, and I didn't bring any money, you have been playing here, my heart is really itchy, you see, or?" Bai Xiaojie said.

"You want to play too, don't you?" Xu Hong asked as he looked at Bai Xiaojie.

"Itching, itching. Bai Xiaojie smiled flatteringly, not at all having the demeanor of being a brother just now.

"No, I can't. Xu Hong simply refused, "I still have to rely on this money to earn the money I wish for." ”

"Oh, my brother, can't I borrow you?" Bai Xiaojie became addicted to gambling, and he couldn't care about face, and he forgot that he had persuaded Xu Hong not to gamble just now, and began to pull Xu Hong to beg.

Xu Hong thought about it, sighed, and said, "It's okay to borrow you, but what if you lose?"

"Do whatever you say! I'll listen to you. Bai Xiaojie swore and agreed.

"Well, well, it's five taels of silver, you can take it. Xu Hong took out five taels of silver from his bag and gave it to Bai Xiaojie.

Bai Xiaojie knew that this was half of Xu Hong's belongings, and he was moved......

Moved, he immediately ran to change chips.

Xu Hong looked at Bai Xiaojie's back running to the counter, with a casual smile on his face, it seemed that his plan was still very successful.
