Chapter 22: The Gambling Arena
Two days later, Qiongfeng Ridge, 25 kilometers north of Cangwu City. Maglev trucks of different colors stayed not far from the Xianwu Pavilion near Qiongfeng Ridge.
At this moment, the surroundings of the Immortal Mist Pavilion were already surrounded by the four major families of Cangwu City and the people of the Security Bureau.
In the Immortal Mist Pavilion, Chen Yuan sat on the stone bench in the pavilion, took a sip of tea, then raised his head and said, "Presumably, you are no strangers to this place. Actually, I didn't expect to come here so early. ”
As he spoke, he glanced at everyone and continued: "Originally, I estimated that I would have to wait until after the 'Winter Sycamore', but who knew that I would come here today. Moreover, it is still the opening of the 'gambling arena' that has not been moved for a long time!"
With Chen Yuan's words, the two people sitting on the stone bench did not have much change in their faces, and they seemed to be fully prepared.
"Hehe, it seems that both of them are veterans! Since this is the case, then please ask the Meng family and the Yang family to sign the spiritual deed of this gambling fight. In this way, when I go in, I will just take it and start the gambling fight. ”
As he spoke, Chen Yuan took out a yellowed spirit paper from his arms and gently placed it on the stone table in front of him.
Spirit paper is a kind of paper specially used to sign the "spirit contract" on the blue card star. As for the "spirit contract", it is a contract method that has been handed down from ancient times in the cultivation world.
Looking at it, there are tree-like lines on the spirit paper, and not only that, but the corner of the paper also has traces of being burned.
Yang Zhenlong, who was sitting on the left opposite Chen Yuan, looked at Meng Bihua with a smile and said, "Patriarch Meng, since you made this application, then you should come first!"
"This is natural, I was very ruthless to my Meng family before, I want to see if your Yang family can be arrogant this time!"
Meng Bihua said fiercely to Yang Zhenlong as he reached out and took the spirit paper in front of him.
Then, he took out a spirit pen like a withered branch from his bosom and wrote it on the spirit paper.
A moment later, Meng Bihua wrote the names of the five people on the spirit paper.
As Meng Bihua moved the spirit pen in his hand, everyone looked at the name on the spirit paper. And Yang Zhenlong, who was originally a little disdainful on the side, turned a little dignified at the moment.
After pondering for a while, Yang Zhenlong said to Meng Bihua: "Patriarch Meng, you are not just a gamble!"
"You can even press the old immortals of the Meng family, and even write the younger generation of 'Meng He' and 'Meng Chuan'. I see, you Meng Shi is gambling with your life!"
Meng Bihua didn't care about Yang Zhenlong's words, and replied casually: "I, Meng Bihua, will never take it lightly, nor will I despise anyone. Don't forget that 'the lion fights the rabbit with all your might'. ”
Chen Yuan looked at the two people in front of him, who were like needles facing wheat mang, and urged impatiently: "The two of you are not people who have just entered the society, so let's talk less about those ruthless people! Patriarch Yang, you should also fill in your name!"
Looking at Chen Yuan, who had already stood up from the stone bench, Yang Zhenlong, who was originally a little ruthless, instantly became well-behaved.
"What Director Chen Yuan said is, I'll write it now. ”
As he spoke, Yang Zhenlong took out a spirit pen one by one and wrote it on the spirit paper. After a while, the names of the Yang family members were written on it.
Subsequently, Yang Zhenlong handed over the signed spirit paper to Chen Yuan.
Holding the spirit paper in his hand, Chen Yuan raised his head and glanced at everyone and said leisurely: "Since the two patriarchs have signed the spirit paper, then I will go to the 'gambling arena'!"
After that, Chen Yuan ignored everyone and walked towards the lake not far from the Immortal Mist Pavilion. When they saw this, they said no more, and hurriedly followed.
A moment later, under the leadership of Chen Yuan, everyone came to the shore of the lake.
Chen Yuan took out an ancient silver-like token from the ring on his hand, and saw that on the left and right sides of the front of the token, there was a staff like dead wood and a hexagonal spirit plate. And the back is painted with this crack-like pattern.
Chen Yuan casually threw the token into the lake in front of him.
After a few moments, a large whirlpool formed in the center of the lake, and two gates gradually emerged from the whirlpool.
Eventually, two gates hovered above the lake, one emitting a dark and deep light, while the other was shrouded in a red-red fire.
After a few moments, a ripple of energy emanated from the dark black gate, eventually forming a dark avenue. The avenue continued to stretch until it stopped in front of Chen Yuan.
At this time, the huge door, which was shrouded in the red flames of fire, was still closed.
"Okay, everyone go in with me!" said Chen Yuan, who stepped onto the dark avenue and walked towards the door.
After a while, when the last man stepped into the huge black door, the door gradually melted away like snowflakes in the bright sun. It's as if it never existed.
Inside the black gate.
Guided by the Black Avenue, the crowd walked for about 15 minutes and finally arrived at the destination of the trip--- "Gambling Arena".
On first look, the arena doesn't look like a modern building. The entire venue seemed to be shrouded in a dark canopy, and both the seats around the arena and the floor in the center looked like they were made of stone.
Under the dark sky, only a faint glow of eerie ghost fire flickered.
Meng Chuan, who was following behind Meng He, felt a little chill all over his body, and asked uneasily, "Brother, what the hell is this place?" I feel like someone is staring at me, it's so uncomfortable. ”
Meng Hedang slowed down, walked side by side with Meng He, and comforted.
"It's my first time here. I've heard it in the door-to-door before, but I didn't expect it to be so eerie. As for the feeling you mentioned, I think it must be because of the spiritual contract that my father signed before!"
While Meng He was talking to Meng Chuan, Chen Yuan, who was walking in the front, jumped up slightly, and came to preside over the gambling fight after a few ups and downs.
I saw that Chen Yuan, who had already arrived at the position of presiding over the gambling fight, raised his hand and put the spirit deed signed outside on the altar of the contract on the side of the stone chair.
With the spirit deed in place, the entire gambling arena seems to have entered the key. From the dark sky, a huge pillar of energy shot out in an instant.
Under the gaze of everyone, the huge pillar of energy slammed into the gem on the top of the stone chair where Chen Yuan was.
With the infusion of energy, the gemstone becomes more and more profound. And when the energy pillar disappeared, three stone platforms began to rise slowly on the ground of the gambling arena.
"Boom... ,”
With a huge roar, the stone platform that rose like a mechanical stage was finally suspended in the void.
After a while, pillars of light as red as blood shone on Meng He and Meng Chuan's bodies. Then the two of them felt like they were being pulled by the pillar of light, and they were brought to the suspended stone platform.
At the same time, the other people who were written on the spirit contract by Meng Bihua and Yang Zhenlong were all pulled to their respective positions.
Chen Yuan, who was in the presiding seat, looked at the ten people who had been towed, and said leisurely: "Now that the gambling arena is ready, then everyone who has been dragged into the arena will prepare!"
"According to the rules of the gambling arena, whoever plays the game 'does not win or lose, only talks about life and death'! Presumably the two patriarchs have no opinion!" Chen Yuan turned his head to look at Meng Bihua and Yang Zhenlong.
"This, Meng naturally understands, and asks Director Chen Yuan to arrange it!"
"My Yang family has no objection. ”
Seeing that both of them gave up, Chen Yuan nodded, and shouted: "Since both of them have no objections, then invite the first person to play!"
As he spoke, Chen Yuan took a step back and sat down on the stone chair behind him, while the others also found a suitable place to sit down.
After everyone sat down, Chen Yuan pressed the button on the armrest of the stone chair at hand.
Yang Zhenhu and Meng Chuan, who were waiting on the stone platform, were dragged to the central duel venue.
"The first game of the gambling fight, begin!"
With Chen Yuan's shout, the pillar of light that had drawn and restricted them disappeared in response...
