The one hundred and fiftieth round, 100 guests are coming
Zhao Zheng has always been a person who is not moved by money, but when he heard this number, he was still a little surprised. He and Lu Youfa looked at each other deeply, paused, and then said slowly: "One Qing Governor's Mansion, 100,000 snowflakes of silver, 2.3 million taels of silver, it takes more than 20 Qing Governor's Mansions to earn it." ”
"This amount of money was counted when the account was posted this morning, and now there is still one day before your competition with Kong Yunjie, and there will be people who will continue to bet today, and the accumulated gambling money will be more than two or three hundred thousand taels, at least four million taels." Lu Youfa's eyes were burning, a kind of fire unique to gamblers' eyes.
"Four million taels, a lot of money, put together enough to pile up a mountain of silver."
"Not to mention a silver mountain, a gold mountain can also be piled up."
"There is only so much money to bet on Kong Yunjie, so there must be more money to bet on Zheng Wuji." Zhao Zheng took it for granted.
"There are fewer people betting on him, because he will definitely win, so the odds are pitifully low, and even if he bets, he won't make much money. Most of the gambling money is concentrated on Kong Yunjie. Four million taels is not a small amount, if Kong Yunjie really wins, I have to break my muscles and bones. Lu Youfa smiled wryly, "At that time, I could only drink cabbage soup for every meal, and it was without oil." ”
"If you don't want Kong Yunjie to win, then expect me to win. If I win, the four million taels of silver will be yours, and you will be able to eat and drink every day. Zhao Zheng smiled.
"Of course I hope you win, and I even expect you to win more than you do, which is why I came to you this morning. A glass of cheering wine. It's a pity that the food and drinks haven't been delivered yet. I can't honor you right now. ”
"The wine hasn't arrived yet. But I have received your heart, and I hope that I will return in triumph and win back the four million taels of silver for you. Zhao Zheng smiled and arched his hand at the person at the table.
Lu Youfa saw that Zhao Zheng was talking and laughing, calm, his eyes lit up, and he said tentatively: "Looking at your appearance, it seems that you don't take tomorrow's competition to heart." ”
Boss Lu laughed, such a big thing. How could I not take it to heart. ”
"But you look relaxed, not at all like someone who is about to face a fierce battle."
"Why can't I be easy?" Zhao Zheng said with a smile.
"The opponent you have to face is the Yin Yang Swordsman. Kong Yunjie, he has the dual swords of yin and yang in his hands, making good use of the two internal forces of ice and fire, and his swordsmanship is even more superb, unpredictable. You should be a little more nervous against such an opponent. I'm not afraid of your jokes when I say it, I'm a Sixfold Heavenly Martial Artist, but even if it's me, I may not be that Kong Yunjie's opponent. Lu You said.
"Listen to your tone. You, like those gamblers who bet on Kong Yunjie's victory, also think that I am doomed. Zhao Zhengdao.
"IMHO. I really don't have much confidence in you, that's why I offer you higher odds. As far as I know, your current cultivation is the Fifth Heaven, and there is still a gap between you and the Sixfold Heaven Martial Artist, not to mention that you are right for the master of the Sixfold Heaven like Kong Yunjie. ”
Hearing Lu Youfa's frustrating words, Zhao Zheng was a little depressed, and everyone in the world thought that he had lost, and at the same time as he was depressed, his competitive spirit that anyone who would have a young man was also aroused. He wants to show his hands and prove himself to Lu Youfa, at least let Lu Youfa understand that he is not a vegetarian.
"Boss Lu, your beard is very distinctive, each parting to the left and right, like two small crescents, and it is shiny." Zhao Zheng changed his words and said strangely.
"Oh, my beard is indeed well-groomed, what's wrong?" Lu Youfa frowned and asked.
"You cherish your beard so much that you will not let anyone else take it off."
"Of course not."
"What if someone wants to pluck your beard?"
"Then I'm going to have to compete with him."
"If that person is a Five-Fold Heavenly Martial Artist, he must not be your opponent, and it is impossible for him to take off your beard."
"Yes, at least it has to be a Sixfold Heavenly Martial Artist to be able to do this, and it is a Sixfold Heavenly Martial Artist with a high level of martial arts. After all, I have a pair of skillful hands, and few people can bargain in these skillful hands. Lu Youfa raised his hand, he was thin, but these hands were very long, and each knuckle was very thick. This is indeed a pair of skillful hands, not only beating a lot of people, but also winning a lot of money at the table. When he throws dice with both hands, he can throw any point, so his nickname is called Liuliu Dashun.
Zhao Zheng just wants to defeat this pair of very clever hands, only in this way can Lu Youfa understand his strength. If you want to beat these skillful hands, you have to use more skillful hands. He looked at Lu Youfa sharply, and waved his hands over, one hand into a fist, the other into a claw, using the grappling fist technique from the red-faced white ape!
Lu Youfa saw that Zhao Zheng suddenly attacked, and he didn't have time to think about it, so he instinctively resisted. He stretched out his skillful hands and pointed at the acupoints on Zhao Zheng's hands, using a technique called Volley Finger, which can use internal force to click on the enemy's acupoints in the air, which is a medium-grade martial arts. He has been immersed in this martial art for more than 20 years, and no matter how busy he is every day, he has to devote half an hour to practice.
Skillful hands met another pair of skillful hands, when the two pairs interspersed and reached the center of the table, Zhao Zheng's skillful hands changed, and a flesh fist was flooded with golden internal force, like a fist made by a golden-bodied Arhat. This fist swept across Lu Youfa's hands, forcing Lu Youfa to change direction, moving slightly to the sides, and then aiming his fingertips at this fist.
Lu Youfa's four fingers were also glowing with the light of internal force, and once he spit out the internal force, the golden fist would be hit by the acupoint. But at the moment when he tried to point the point, Zhao Zheng's other hand came over, grabbed one of his arms, and then took his arm around with a strange force far beyond his imagination, and collided with the other arm. Both of his arms were displaced, and naturally he couldn't hit the golden fist.
The golden fist continued to move forward, and pounced head-on on Lu Youfa's face. At the moment when he was about to hit, his fist turned into a claw. Lightly scratched Lu Youfa's beard. Meanwhile. The other hand, which had been claw-like, instantly swallowed the power of his palm. shook Lu Youfa's arms apart, and then turned from claws to fists. The hands can be shifted back and forth between fists and claws, and they must always be different.
Lu Youfa felt a faint pain in the root of his beard, and his face changed drastically in fright, and he hurriedly withdrew his hands that were shaken by the force of his palm, protected Shangsanlu with one hand, and reached over to attack Zhao Zheng with the other hand. It's a pity that his hand was empty, and Zhao Zhenglian took the chair under his ass and moved it sideways to the right side in an instant. It was already far away from his skillful hands.
The skillful hands he was proud of rarely lost, but this time he did.
"Offended, Boss Lu, it was just a little joke on my part. Your beard is so well groomed, how can I be willing to break it? Zhao Zheng smiled and raised his hands, showing off his empty palms.
Lu Youfa was shocked for a while, touched his beard, and found that it was indeed still there, and there was no one missing. After he calmed down, he thought deeply. figured out the intention of Zhao Zheng's joke. Those who can pick his beard must be above the six heavens. Only a martial artist above the Sixfold Heaven would have such a fast skill. Although Zhao Zheng attacked suddenly just now and took the lead, there was no way to take advantage of that kind of galloping speed.
After he learned that Zhao Zheng had reached the Sixfold Heaven realm, he couldn't help but be surprised and delighted, and the degree of surprise was even worse than when Zhao Zheng himself first arrived at the Sixfold Heaven.
If Zhao Zheng reached the Sixth Heaven, he might not lose the martial arts competition tomorrow. He won't lose, Lu Youfa won't lose, not only won't he lose, but he will also win, and he will win more than four million taels!
Lu Youfa's eyes were shining, his breathing was getting heavier, and his skin was red, which he would only show when he was about to win a gamble.
"Could it be that you have already reached the Sixth Heaven?" He asked excitedly.
Zhao Zheng made a silent gesture, and then said: "To tell you the truth, I just broke through the bottleneck yesterday and reached the Sixth Heaven, and my strength has improved a lot. That way, I won't necessarily lose tomorrow and have a better chance of winning. Others can not be optimistic about me, but I have to be optimistic about myself. So tomorrow, I will go to fight with a heart that will win. If I think I'm going to win, why be nervous? ”
"That's great!" Lu Youfa took the case, and Chuanyin replied, "If you win, I will be able to make a lot of money and make all the money of those gamblers, which will be the largest bet I have made in three years." ”
"I hope I can win, and I want you to win."
"Zhao Shaoxia, if you can really defeat Kong Yunjie, I will definitely not treat you badly, as the so-called rich everyone earns, after the competition is over, in addition to the gambling money you won, I will give you an additional 100,000 taels of silver." Lu Youfa promised.
"That's it, I don't have a lot of money in my pocket." Zhao Zheng said as he tapped the ground lightly with his toes, and the chair under his buttocks lifted a gap slightly, and flew back to its original position. He rolled up the sleeve of his right hand and stretched out his hand to Lu Youfa, "Let's have a high-five oath, a gentleman's word, a quick horse." ”
"Okay, high-five, high-five, if you win and I don't give you this money, let me not lift it for the rest of my life." Lu Youfa made a poisonous oath, raised his hand and slapped Zhao Zheng's palm, and his palms collided, colliding with a crisp sound.
After the two made an agreement, a sumptuous breakfast was ready, and several servants brought the meal to the table. Zhao Zheng didn't ask for wine, so he troubled one of his subordinates to go on another trip and send a jar of wine. The wine was delivered, the two drank a few glasses, Lu Youfa wished Zhao Zheng a triumphant return, and Zhao Zheng also wished Lu Youfa a lot of money.
Lu Youfa's temporary casino was busy with business, and after drinking, he hurriedly left without even eating. He could only squeeze in a little time in the morning, and after the day and night, the casino was so crowded that he couldn't leave.
Zhao Zheng sent Lu Youfa away, and it didn't take long for a new guest to be ushered in, this time the person who came was Jiang Ming, a disciple of the Wudang faction. Jiang Ming, like Lu Youfa, came to wish Zhao Zheng victory. After Jiang Ming left, Zhao Zheng's residence successively welcomed some guests who knew or didn't know, and these people basically had the same purpose, all out of good intentions.
The Zichu sword competition is nearing the end, and tomorrow's competition is the most important, involving the attention of many people. Most of the people couldn't remember the names of more than 20 people, but the names of just four people were still very easy to remember, and when these people memorized the names of Zheng Wouji and others, they also wrote down the names of Zhao Zheng by the way. And subtly glanced at Zhao Zheng. Zhao Zheng has become a young man of the same level as Zheng Wouji and others.
Every time you win. Zhao Zheng's fame is three points bigger, and before he knows it, he has become a small celebrity. People in the rivers and lakes have the habit of giving nicknames to celebrities, and the nickname that belongs to him is also in the pipeline, but it has not been brewed for the time being, and this nickname can be brewed after he and Kong Yunjie's competition is over.
Zhao Zheng originally planned to spend a stop today, but he was tired of receiving guests. I couldn't spare time for a day, and I was so busy. There were so many guests who came to see him, and there were even more guests who went to see Kong Yunjie, almost forming a long queue.
He waited until the evening, when the number of guests who came to him gradually decreased, and when the moon climbed up the branches, no one came.
Zhao Zheng finally settled down, washed up, and planned to rest and recuperate. Prepare for tomorrow's contest. But just then, there was a knock on his door. He thought another guest was coming. There was a slight anger in his heart, it would be a bit too much to come so late, and it would disturb his rest.
"Who's knocking on the door?" Zhao Zheng asked angrily.
"The black and white impermanence of the underworld has come to seduce your soul." A pleasant female voice rang out.
Zhao Zheng immediately heard that this was Zihuan's voice, and his previous anger was suddenly swept away, and he jumped over and opened the door.
Outside the door stood a woman dressed in black short brown and carrying a white keel whip, who looked to be in her early twenties, with a smile on her face. Zihuan.
"How can there be such a beautiful black and white impermanence in this world, if black and white impermanence really looks like you, I am willing even if I am hooked." Zhao Zheng smiled.
"It's true that men aren't honest when they're older, even an honest person like you has become flamboyant now." Zihuan glanced at Zhao Zheng with a smile.
"There are not many honest men in the world, and probably only in temples. Besides, what I just said is not a compliment to you, but a heartfelt word. ”
"If a man doesn't want to get into trouble, it's best not to say anything from his heart to a woman, remember that my sister taught you this sentence, otherwise you will have to suffer in the future."
"Okay, I'll remember that." Zhao Zheng smiled bitterly, took a step back, and pointed to the house, "It's windy outside, please come in the house." ”
Zihuan didn't have anything to be polite about, swaggered into the room, found a chair and sat down.
Zhao Zheng took turns to receive guests today and made a lot of cups of tea, and now the water in the pot is still hot. He made a cup of hot tea for Zihuan and a cup for himself. The two chatted while drinking tea and exchanged pleasantries for a while. Zihuan asked a lot of things, mainly asking about Zhao Zheng's recent situation, and when she learned that Zhao Zheng had reached the Sixth Heaven, she was taken aback, her eyes widened, and her open mouth was enough to stuff an egg.
"When we separated a few days ago, you had just reached the Fifth Heaven, and it had only been more than twenty days, how could you have made such rapid progress, and you had reached the Sixth Heaven directly, which was too fast." Zihuan really couldn't believe this, but Zhao Zheng was by no means someone who liked to lie in this regard.
In the real world, it is true that more than twenty days have passed, but in the world of the dungeon, Zhao Zheng has already spent a whole year, plus Hua Xiangrong's help, so he can reach the Sixth Heaven so quickly.
If you don't explain this matter to Zihuan clearly, it will definitely not work, Zhao Zheng explained with a smile: "I know a martial arts senior, a master outside the world, and she helped me reach the Sixth Heaven. ”
"Who is she? How can you have such a great ability. Zihuan asked.
"You must have heard of her name, the people on the rivers and lakes call her the Flying Lady Yasha, her real name is Hua Xiangrong, and she is a member of the Hua family in Wanhua Valley." Zhao Zheng replied.
"I've indeed heard her name, but in my impression, she doesn't seem to have such a great ability, and she can help a martial artist who has just reached the Fifth Heaven to reach the Sixth Heaven directly. This is inevitably a little too incredible, and it is really hard to accept. ”
"The rumors in the rivers and lakes are inevitably wrong, in fact, her strength is far higher than the rumors, if it weren't for her help, I wouldn't have been able to reach the Sixth Heaven." In order to prove his strength, Zhao Zheng made two strokes in front of him, although these two strokes were simple, but the speed was as fast as lightning. If ordinary people were watching from the side, they wouldn't even be able to see his movements clearly, and they could only vaguely see a black shadow.
Others can't see clearly, but Zihuan can see clearly, and through Zhao Zheng's comparison of the speed of these two strokes, it is determined that Zhao Zheng has reached the Sixth Heaven. The realm of martial artists is distinct, and the gap between each heavy heaven is like a chasm, and if you don't reach the sixth heaven, you will never have that speed.
"Helping a martial artist who has just arrived at the Fifth Heaven to quickly reach the Sixth Heaven, this Hua Xiangrong senior is really unfathomable, it seems that she is really much more powerful than the rumors, at least she has to be a Ninth Heaven Martial Artist." Zihuan said embarrassedly.
Zhao Zheng chatted a few more words about his arrival in the Sixth Heaven, and didn't want to say more about this matter, so he changed the topic and asked, "Didn't you go to arrest Qin Xing before?" Since you're here, do you mean that Qin Xing has been caught? ”
"No, Qin Xing hasn't been caught yet. The reason why I gave up this matter and came to see you is because I heard that you have won two games in a row, and it is the most critical moment of the competition, and secondly, because I don't need to help me with Qin Xing anymore, and there will be another group of people to help do this, and they will do it better than me. Zihuan explained.
"Another group of people?" Zhao Zheng frowned, "Who are they?" ”
"Beggars." Zihuan replied. (To be continued......)
