Chen Qi actually didn't believe it at all, Zhou Yan's winning posture just now was simply shocking.

But when the master said so, how could he dare not believe it?

Anyway, don't believe it or not, Chen Qi sat honestly at the gambling table.

Half an hour later

Zhou Yan lost ten games in a row, and his face changed for the first time.

Even the people in the casino standing next to them squinted their eyes curiously, if it weren't for the fact that this was a game between gamblers and gamblers, whoever won and who lost, and it was the casino that made money, I am afraid that they would have been alert and would have caused some accidents.

Half an hour later.

Chen Qi walked out of the casino in a daze, and as soon as he turned around, he could see Zhou Yan's miserable white face and cloudy eyes, only to feel a slight shock in his heart, and turned around to walk over, but he heard Yang Yuying cough lightly, and his footsteps stopped.

Turning back again, he only saw a little bit of the master's back, Chen Qi was so frightened that he hurriedly chased after him, and saw the master walking while taking out a cloak from the backpack behind him, wrapping it around his body, and sitting on the stone pier under the tree on the side of the road.

The cloak was black and gray, dark and dull, and when she was wrapped like this, the beautiful girl became a beggar on the street with a hooded face.

Chen Qi also went over and sat down silently, and said, "This money ......."

"You still want to stay?"

"No, no."

Yang Yuying laughed: "It's not impossible if you want to stay, as long as you can accept the consequences of your luck becoming particularly low." ”

"It's nothing, people always have times of high luck and low luck, you are unlucky, maybe you just walk and fall and break your leg, your jaw falls off, and you don't necessarily fall to your head or something."

Chen Qi: "...... Don't talk about it, master, what to do. ”

"Ask the Zhou family how much money their parents lost, keep this part for others, don't return it for the time being, and return it when it's okay."

Chen Qi hurriedly responded: "Okay." ”

"I don't care about the rest, do you want to throw it away, or do a good deed, even if it's useless to donate it to the temple."

Yang Yuying said with a smile.

Chen Qi nodded hurriedly, still suspicious in his heart, and couldn't help asking: "I see that Zhou Yan won the old man Liu just now, and he won so neatly, why did he suddenly start losing when he came to me?" ”

He is self-aware, he has never been at the table since he was a child, and naturally has neither skill nor experience in this area.

Yang Yuying sighed, lifted her eyelids a little and rolled her eyes: "Of course I'm helping you cheat." ”

Chen Qi: "Huh? ”

Yang Yuying, she is not really like Chen Qi's belly, she especially likes to sell Guanzi, after thinking about it for a while, she explained in words that Chen Qi might understand: "I don't know what Zhou Yan did, his, you should be a good soul, burning violently in a short period of time, so intelligence, five senses, physical fitness and other qualities also suddenly exploded." ”

"Now it's not just at the gaming table, he reads, writes articles, and does everything, he will have a feeling of being at home."

"But this power is not unlimited, it is his own soul potential that is consumed."

"The old man Liu I chose in the casino today has a layer of spiritual light, which shows that he is kind-hearted and has merit, if the merit in the world is not dispersed, it will definitely be blessed, let him and Zhou Yan gamble, Zhou Yan must consume more strength if he wants to win him."

Chen Qi was shocked when he heard this: "That Zhou Yan ...... Will it be very bad for Zhou Yan. ”

Yang Yuying chuckled: "It's nothing, I took the opportunity to set a soul talisman on him, he can't borrow the potential of his own soul recently, and now that the burning power is used up, he will feel weak, his brain is not as fast as before, and his hands and feet are not as flexible as in the past." ”

"If he can endure this kind of loss, after a while, he will slowly get better, although there will still be some loss, but this loss can be gradually recovered, maybe a year, maybe three years and five years, he can still recover to the original Zhou Yan, and then find what he lost."

Chen Qi was overjoyed: "Really? ”

Yang Yuying raised her eyebrows: "Really." ”

Provided, of course, that he can endure this sense of loss.

Yang Yuying felt that this person might not be so easy to bear, so she said that she played games back then and enjoyed the latest model of the Star Light Brain produced by the Federation, and she was not happy to let her use the old models.

If this person can't stand the gap, he will inevitably go to the 'person' who let him get all this.

Yang Yuying felt that this year's secret guard was counted as one, and including the divine sword, her performance might be ranked first.

"Because Zhou Yan has exhausted his strength on Master Liu, so I play against him, and I won?"

Chen Qi suddenly realized.

Yang Yuying smiled: "Well, I can save a lot of effort when I help you cheat." ”

Chen Qi: "......"

A person who has never even touched the dice, wants to win all by virtue of the other party's loss of superhuman skills, unless dreaming, well, the second possibility is to cheat.

At this time, the cool breeze hit, Zhou Yan stayed in the gambling house and still didn't go out, and it was boring to sit idly, Yang Yuying turned her head to look at Chen Qi and chuckled: "It's all here, don't you have anything to say?" ”

Chen Qi hesitated for a while, lowered his head and sighed.

"Zhou Yan studied very hard."

Chen Qi was a little excited, "Get up on the fifth watch, sleep on the third watch, study hard, except for reading, there is no pastime." I look at him and think he's stuffy. ”

"He is under a lot of pressure, my father and mother have no requirements for me to study, I am the youngest son, I will share an industry in the future, there is no shortage of money to spend, of course it is good to read well, and it doesn't matter if I don't read well."

"Zhou Yan is different, Uncle Zhou and Aunt Zhou attach great importance to his reading, and especially hope that he can be a talent, a middle-ranking person, and even a jinshi."

Yang Yuying didn't interject, allowing him to ramble.

"When I was in private school in the past, gentlemen often boasted, saying that Zhou Yan was a genius, and his father and mother also thought that he was a unicorn from heaven, and the relatives of the Zhou family were all proud of him, but when he arrived at Qizhou Academy, there were so many geniuses, what was Zhou Yan's intelligence?"

"After studying in Qizhou Academy for half a year, Zhou Yan understood that Xiucai may still be able to fight, but after all, it still depends on luck, those white-headed talents, which of them were not at home when they were young, and they were treated as geniuses among the villagers?"

Zhou Yan felt that he was not a genius, so he could only work hard a thousand times and work hard. But no matter how hard he tries, he can't even meet his expectations of himself, and sometimes, he gets bored. ”

After nagging for a long time, Chen Qi came back to his senses, and finally felt that the complaints in his words were really useless, and hurriedly got to the point.

"Just about ten days ago, Qizhou Academy was on vacation, and Zhou Yan and I didn't really want to go home, anyway, going home was the same, there was nothing else but reading."

"Zhou Yan said that he was tired, he didn't want to go back, and when he came home and saw his parents, he would have a feeling of stagnation that he couldn't breathe."

"So, as soon as the holiday was over, the two of us made an appointment to go to the mountains in the suburbs to have a little bit of fun."

Chen Qi's eyes were hot, and he whispered, "I'm okay, Zhou Yan hasn't been out for more than half a year, he reads at home every day, and he also reads in the academy, so he has nothing else to do except study." ”

Yang Yuying bowed.

"We didn't do anything that day, we drank some wine, complained to each other, said things that were useless to think about now, and ...... We met the woman, the fairy! ”

Chen Qi's body trembled, and at that time, he only felt that the starry sky was shining, but now that he thinks about it, he is terrified.

"The hair is blue, the complexion is snow-white, and it comes from the surface of the water...... Asked us to treat her to a drink. ”

"Zhou Yan and I didn't refuse her, it is estimated that no one can refuse such a beauty, after the beauty finished drinking, she smiled and said to us, for the sake of us inviting her to drink, you can make a deal with us, as long as we pay the price, we can get whatever we want,"

Yang Yuying: "...... It's a bit old-fashioned. ”

She remembered that in the past, she used to wave in the game with the marshal, and some players liked to play this kind of role in the NPC group, omnipotent merchants, based on the principle of equivalent exchange, and fair trade.

It is not completely impossible for abnormal people who have the ability to do this kind of transaction, but in this current environment, Yang Yuying is more inclined to the two scholars who are unlucky to be deceived by monsters.

Thinking about the mess she had caught in recent months, she also knew that the possibility of being a monster was much greater than the possibility of meeting a true immortal.

"And then, you swapped?"

Chen Qi's face turned red, and he said, "I don't have it, I'm a little scared, timid, and I don't have anything I have to get." Zhou Yan suddenly grabbed the fairy's arm, which startled me at the time, but fortunately, the fairy didn't blame her. ”

"I heard Zhou Yan say to the fairy that he wants to have talents that others can't match."

"I thought at the time, in the end, Zhou Yan, meeting such a magical thing as a fairy, he didn't want gold, silver and jewelry, he didn't want beauty, as long as he was talented, if I wasn't afraid, I would definitely ask for endless money."

Chen Qi had palpitations, he had already guessed that there was something wrong with the so-called fairy, if he hadn't resisted the temptation at that time, he was afraid that he would become like Zhou Yan and not like himself.

The fairy agreed to Zhou Yan's request.

But she said that she wanted to take something from Zhou Yan as a price, so that it would not affect Zhou Yan's success with his talent in the future, Zhou Yan hesitated for a moment, but still agreed.

"Actually, we all drank too much that night, and we were dizzy, and I wasn't even sure if it was real or a dream, but the next day we woke up, and when Zhou Yan went back to study, he suddenly found that he was very different from before."

"I used to read it a hundred times to remember a little, but now I can remember it very firmly with two glances, and I used to write articles that lacked spirituality, but now my ideas are full of ideas, and my academic performance can be said to be improving by leaps and bounds."

"It's not just his brain, he is much better than before in all aspects, and Mr. said that he was enlightened, but we all know that it is not."

Chen Qi's voice became lower and lower, and he looked a little frightened, "At first, I only had joy, I still regretted coming, I knew it was true, I must have seized this adventure, it was really a benefit that I didn't take in front of me, I was born without this life." ”

Yang Yuying glanced at Chen Qi and nodded: "Hmm." ”

Chen Qi: What does ...... mean 'um'?

He was silent for a moment, and then continued, "Zhou Yan's talent is indeed gradually highlighted, but soon there was a problem, he didn't have the heart to talk to me anymore, we made an appointment to drink tea and enjoy the flowers together, he forgot everything, he became more and more impatient with his parents, he would quarrel with his father and mother, and after a few days, he didn't even bother to quarrel, I think, he is no longer the Zhou Yan I know." ”

"That day, I accidentally saw the master's handling of monsters, and I thought, I'm afraid he is also in the way of monsters."

was chatting, only to hear a bang, Zhou Yan fell out of the gate of the casino, stumbled to the ground, and his pale face was covered with beads of sweat.

One of the casino guys stood in front of the door and spoke politely.

"We do business seriously, it's not a life-threatening business, you gamblers at every turn, it's really scary, the guests want your hands and feet to do something, go back quickly, don't come to play if you don't have money."

Zhou Yan stiffened and stood in front of the casino for a moment, then suddenly lowered his face and turned his head to walk all the way.

At first, he was just heavy on his feet, and it didn't take long for him to run down the street.

Yang Yuying got up abruptly and chased all the way down the street, Chen Qi followed behind and panted, but he gritted his teeth and refused to fall behind in saying anything.

Fortunately, Zhou Yan's body was not as good as a few days ago, otherwise, he would definitely not be able to catch up.

The sky was bitterly cold from the sun setting in the west, to twilight, to a rich black.

"It's this mountain, it's this little river, I remember."

Chen Qi suddenly shouted.

Yang Yuying stopped abruptly and blocked Chen Qi: "It's okay to get here, you go back...... Forget it, just stay here and wait, don't go anywhere. ”

She turned her head and pretended to say to an ancient tree on the side of the road, "Please ask Grandpa Tree to give me a branch." ”

The spiritual power was shocked, only to hear the rustling sound, the branches of the ancient tree gently broke and fell off, and fell into Yang Yuying's hand with a click, she casually made a few strokes on the branches, and solemnly handed it to Chen Qi: "Take it, sit here, don't move, don't talk, okay?" ”

Chen Qi nodded stunned, and when he came back to his senses, he couldn't see Yang Yuying's figure, and he gasped.

At this time, the shadows on the side of the mountain shook, and he really didn't dare to move, nor did he dare to go down the mountain.

said that Yang Yuying's mood was actually a little nervous.

As soon as she enters the mountain, the whole mountain sends a message to her - there are monsters inside, don't come close!

The breath in the mountains was treacherous and full of fear, and Yang Yuying's arms were covered with a layer of tiny pimples.

Yang Yuying followed the breath all the way, but suddenly her steps stopped, and she dodged sideways behind the tree.

There are a few lamps lit not far away, and the lights are not bright, but they are not as invisible as elsewhere.

Under the lamp, a snow-skinned beauty is holding a lantern and counting: "One, two, three......"

As she counted, Yang Yuying's eyes also looked over, and her face slowly became heavy, and in that piece of grass, there were many people kneeling, both men and women, old and young, some were confused and dull, and some were sobbing in a low voice, full of fear.

In addition to these people, there are people she knows.

Mo Lin, Wen Zhao, and Lin Guan were all there, and they didn't seem to be restrained, but the three of them didn't even move, and sat on the ground with their heads down, obviously the situation was not good.
