Chapter 8: The Artifact Appears

Qujing, Yunnan.

Ruyi Casino.

The crowds of people, the miasma of smoke, the shouts, and the cursing are endless, showing the life of the market.

Among this group of vulgar and despicable gamblers were two handsome men with extraordinary spirits, the man in white looked distraught, and the man in purple was full of gambling. The man in white is, of course, Lu Qingyu, and the man in purple is the purple jade heart after the woman dresses up as a man.

Zihua has an excellent appearance as a woman, and she is even more handsome and chic when she plays a man, and her demeanor is graceful. She was shaking the dice with people, screaming louder than men, at first glance she was a proud and reckless man, and the image of a lady with elegant manners and dignified manners was gone.

At this moment, Zihua has won a full 100,000 taels, but she is still not satisfied and wants to continue. Lu Qingyu couldn't wait, and stopped: "You have gambled for half the night, and you have won so much money, and you are still not satisfied?" "What did Lord Lu Zun say, who in the world thinks there is a lot of silver, not to mention that I rarely have such good luck." Zihua said with a grin.

"Then you gamble slowly! I'll take my leave. Lu Qingyu really wanted to keep his word and accompany her for a day, but he really didn't want to waste his time on this kind of thing, and he was really worried about Xiaoxue's side, an old man was enough to make people troubled, and there was a Yuwen Tuo who didn't know whether he was an enemy or a friend, plus a group of cow ghosts and snake gods on the top of Qingyue.

"Hey, your words don't count." Zihua grabbed Lu Qingyu's arm, and Lu Qingyu hurriedly shook him off: "Don't pull and pull what it looks like." ”

The two of them were in a stalemate, but they were surrounded by several house slaves, and one of them, a house slave with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, pulled his throat and blocked the two of them: "If you win money, you want to leave!" There are no doors. ”

"What? Could it be ...... You guys open the Overlord Casino! Zihua did not show weakness.

"Who is that arrogant boy who claims to be an invincible beautiful boy?" A rough voice shouted, and the house slaves heard the sound and hurriedly got out of the way.

The person who came was a middle-aged man in his forties, his body looked quite strong, and the two thick dark circles under his eyes were a portrayal of his addiction to gambling and often staying up all night.

"It's me, master." Zihua stepped on the stool with one foot, stretched out a thumb and pointed at herself, and her momentum was more horizontal than that of the visitor. "You-" The owner of the Ruyi Gambling House, who called him the fourth master, looked at Zihua with disdain, "The fourth master, the money of my guests here has been won by you, do I still want to do this business in the future?" ”

Zihua said: "Joke, you open a casino and don't let people win money, but you still make a fart!" ”

"Heyβ€”β€”, you stinky boy...... "The fourth master couldn't speak for a while.

Zihua said: "Why don't I make a bet with you?" I'll let us go if I win. ”

The fourth master said: "What can you bet with me?" ”

Zihua said: "Let's say whether you bet or not, the 100,000 taels you win are yours." ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Fourth, I bet, what to bet on, Pai Gow or dice? ”

"Just bet on one word, I'll bet your mother will hang up tonight." As soon as Zihua's words came out, the audience exclaimed, saying that this kid was not looking for a beating! What kind of person is the fourth master, he dares to curse his mother to death.

"Humph!" No one expected that the fourth master would still be able to laugh, everyone understands his filial piety and personality, it stands to reason that anyone who hears such words will rise up and attack him, but he is still laughing, just because this is a gamble. Regardless of his gambling skills, in terms of his professionalism, it is absolutely unprecedented.

"I'll meet you at your house tonight, and if your mother is really dead, give me your family heirloom." The expression on Zihua's face suddenly changed unpredictably.

"My mother will never die, and you can't buy murder."

Out of the Ruyi Gambling House, Lu Qingyu asked puzzledly, "Why are you damn dead?" ”

Zihua smiled mysteriously: "It's not a curse, it's that his mother will definitely die tonight." ”

Lu Qingyu said: "You really want his heirloom, you can buy it with silver, or you can grab it directly, you can't make it and ask people to die and take people's things." ”

Zihua said: "Zhan Siye, this person will only admit defeat in betting, as long as you are his winner, he will do it if you let him kill his mother with his own hands, but if you are not, you just put a knife on his neck, and he will not do anything for you." ”

"So where do you go next?"

"Fragrance shop!"

Lu Qingyu sighed, helplessly following this unprovoked and mysterious woman. One moment she is a charming passenger ship owner, and the next she is an insatiable casino gambler; Sometimes it is charming, beautiful, sometimes it is grinning and informal; He hasn't seen how many identities and faces she still has.

At this moment, in the fragrance shop, Zihua has become a romantic benefactor in the wind of Yushu again, with a beautiful woman in his left and right hands, and shouting that the old bustard will invite the Oiran lady out.

"Yo! This uncle, it's not that Aunt Hong doesn't give you face, this Yuemei girl has always been not easy to meet guests. The old bustard looked very embarrassed.

If you say to her, "The fragrance strikes people and hides the stench, and the land withers and blooms in spring," and she will see me immediately. Zihua said with a full spirit, and the old bustard went upstairs with a smile to invite someone, and muttered in his heart: This kid is not bragging! Once the eldest prince of Fu Yuanwai invited him with 10,000 taels of gold, but he couldn't see his face, just with these two sentences, can it work?

"Hey, what the hell are you doing?" Lu Qingyu couldn't help but ask, "Hehe...... Zihua laughed evilly: "Let me tell you, if this Oiran hadn't met me at the beginning, I'm afraid it wouldn't be as high as it is now." "Worth?" Lu Qingyu repeated Zihua's two sentences again, and said with a smile: "Isn't it that her hair was sparse and dry at first, and she still smelled of foxes, and then you helped her?" "That's right! You're so smart. Zihua was happy for a while, but she got carried away and put her hand on Lu Qingyu's shoulder like a buddy, but she immediately realized her rudeness and looked a little embarrassed.

Lu Qingyu also smiled: "It's okay!" Feel free. ”

Lu Qingyu thought that although he was always worried and worried about this day, he had finally seen the life of ordinary people, and he had always been high, except for planning his world, he seemed to be not interested in anything or anyone. In fact, ordinary people live at ease, although he can't get used to casinos and brothels, but if he is not Lu Qingyu, he will definitely be able to get used to it, because since these two places can prosper for a long time, they must have their wonders. There is also this Zihua Jade Heart, which always surprises him from time to time, although he still doesn't know what kind of intention this changeable woman approaches him, but it is certain that he can really relax when he is with her.

Sure enough, the girl met them.

"My aunt, what are you doing here? I have paid off all the favors I owe you, why do you bother to find my stubble again? Yuemei complained. Of course, as soon as Zihua appeared, it reminded her of the unbearable past, so that the confidence she had accumulated so hard would be crumbling.

"In a word, if you make me another pack of divine food, I won't bother you anymore." Zihua said confidently.

"That's a lot of energy." The crescent eyebrows of the moon eyebrows are frowned.

"Okay, it's okay if you don't do it, then I'll go around and tell people about your previous ......" "I promise, I promise, I'm really afraid of you." Yuemei folded her hands and begged her for mercy. "Don't do it yet, before the time, you have to do it for me!" Zihua was almost ordering the other party.

Lu Qingyu suddenly felt that if you offend anyone, don't offend this Zihua jade heart.

Oiran Yuemei really made the so-called "divine food" before the time, and Zihua took it in her hand, very happy and proud.

Lu Qingyu wasn't interested in knowing what the use of this bulging bag of stuff that seemed to be bubbling with oil residue was, so she just asked politely, "Dare to ask Miss Zihua, where do you want to go next?" It will soon be dawn, and his next term will end. ”

Zihua Linkong has always been in the direction of Qingyue Mountain: "Let's go, let's go to the place you want to go the most now." ”

Lu Qingyu was taken aback again.

The top of Qingyue Mountain, the moon is bright and extinguished, the foot of Qingyue Mountain, the tea house is lonely. The two shadows sit opposite each other, and the water is cold and the tea is light.

"The tea is also finished, let's go up the mountain quickly!" This is Lu Qingyu's voice.

"Who said I was going up the mountain?" Zihua Yuxin's voice.

"After waiting for this long time, you still haven't gone up the mountain?"

"Have faith in your men, and they'll be fine."

"Whoever worries about them, I am worried about ......"

"Worried about Xiaoxue, right? It's her again! Zihua's face sank, and she pursed her mouth, "It's really a happy person to worry about people like you!" …… Originally, I should have left with a shake of my head when I heard this, but after all, I had reached the point where everything was in place, so I had to go further. ”

"To be honest, I think I still have a bit of a brain, but I still don't understand what you're trying to do, and I don't know why you got such a hammer and a bag of stinky food?"

The food in the baggage is naturally the "divine food" from the Yuemei girl, and the hammer is the heirloom won from the family of the fourth master of the Ruyi gambling house. No one killed her, and there was no sign of poisoning, just helping the guests turn on the lights a little, but who knew that she suddenly lost her breath when she dialed it, as if Yang Shou had arrived, and her soul was taken away by black and white impermanence. Don't say that the fourth master doesn't believe it, even Lu Qingyu, a person with extraordinary experience, doesn't believe it, if someone can kill people to this realm, then he will definitely not fight for the world anymore, and will directly take Xiaoxue back to the rejection domain, because the world is already that person. But fortunately, there is no such person. He rejoiced.

"Are you interested in ancient artifacts?" Zihua asked.

"Absolutely." Lu Qingyu replied unequivocally.

"Okay, then guess what questions the old man would ask the four Venerables if he had the chance to meet them this time?"

"I guess it's just who will end the three-legged situation in the end!"

"No, he will ask where Fu Xiqin is?"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

"It seems that Jiang is still old and spicy, and you are still slightly inferior to the old man."

"But it's a fact that he's dying old."

"Tell you what! The old man had long known that Fu Xiqin was on the top of the moon, but he didn't know where he was on the top of the moon, and if it was a person destined by the four venerables, they would have to answer their own questions. ”

"No wonder he brought Han Yuxiu and Sikong Rennan with him this time. Originally, I was thinking, the old man would not be so confused, it was just a matter of divination, and he couldn't even leave a housekeeper, and he dared to love him for bringing enough people to grab the treasure. ”

"Their gang is now attracting the attention of all the Cloth Mazes, no one will notice us, so let's take this opportunity to strike first." Zihua pulled Lu Qingyu to get up, "Let's go and get Fu Xiqin first, and the old man let him fail." ”

The two of them left the tea house and walked hundreds of steps east, and came to a stone wall tangled with vines, which was hard and cold, but faintly smelled of some kind of creature.

"With your ability, there is naturally a way to get it open." Zihua consciously flashed to the side, Lu Qingyu pulled out the Xiangfei sword, injected a lot of true power, only a few volleys in the air, and saw the white sword pressure hit the rock on the wall directly, the rock surface was broken into several pieces, and a burst of cold air gushed out, and the surrounding plants were instantly covered with frost.

The cave is icy and snowy, and the cold air inside extinguishes the fire of the two of them, Lu Qingyu can only pull Zihua with one hand, and probe the wall with the other, who knows that what he touches is also an ice cube. After walking like this for a long time, there was a sudden light in front of me, and there was a point of light in front of me, "It must be an exit." Lu Qingyu pulled Zihua to speed up her steps, who knew that her hands and her whole body trembled, which was a sign of freezing ruthlessness. Lu Qingyu was lucky, and a hot warm current poured into Zihua's palm along his palm, and Zihua said in a pitch-changing voice: "Thank you!" ”

Out of the cave, it was really a different world, if he hadn't woken up, Lu Qingyu would really have thought that he was back in the Flying Snow Realm. But there were at least houses, trees, and rivers in the Realm, but here it was a decadent place, full of gloom, and there was no life except for a half-dead Thoreau tree standing in the center. Lu Qingyu was about to ask who was dedicated enough to live in such a place when the ground in front of him shook violently, and then cracks, exploded, and shattered. A behemoth was born from the ground, and it turned out to be a monster beast with horns, a horse body, a fox tail, and eagle claws. The monster seemed to be disturbed by its sleep and exhaled unhappily.

Lu Qingyu couldn't stand the stench from the monster's mouth, jumped up and jumped away a few feet, and was about to tell Zihua to dodge quickly, but who knew that people were already sitting leisurely on the Solo tree and preparing to watch a good show. "You knew it was a monster guarding the artifact?" Lu Qingyu looked up at Zihua and asked, "Are you blaming me for framing you?" Zihua's expression became cramped and embarrassed, as if she was afraid that the other party would blame herself. I'm just thinking about how I can get rid of this ugly guy faster. The corners of Lu Qingyu's mouth raised a slight arc, which was his usual way of laughing, and it was also a manifestation of his absolute confidence. Sure enough, it is the fearless Lord of Luoshen Palace, it is really a god who blocks and kills God, and Buddha blocks **. Zihua's eyes were full of admiration. It's the first time I've seen such an ugly guy. Lu Qingyu's face was calm and calm, there was no look of fear at all, but there was still a bit of leisure to take a closer look at the monster that was rare to see in a thousand years, but the monster couldn't hold its breath, as if it understood Lu Qingyu's words to scold it for being ugly, and it was so angry that it let out a huge howl, which could shock people's eardrums and bleed, Lu Qingyu couldn't stand it anymore, and flew up and drew the monster's sword: "Shut up!" Zihua smiled: "No wonder it's angry, the gluttony, one of the famous ten ancient divine beasts, was scolded by you as an ugly monster, of course, it's very unhappy, in fact, it is among the top ten divine beasts, and it is still a beautiful man!" ”

Zihua threw the bag of divine food to the glutton, and the gluttony hurriedly pounced on it and bit it, quietly dragging the food aside and munching on it, completely forgetting the verbal offense just now. "This guy is very greedy, as long as he eats, he doesn't care about anything, it's better to ...... now" Zihua threw the Moon Hammer to Lu Qingyu and said: "Use this to smash the three-eyed stone on its forehead, and you can solve it." ”

Lu Qingyu took the Moon Hammer, but his body did not move, there was some happiness in his eyes, and he asked Zihua: "After this guy is full, he will definitely be more vicious, more brutal and more powerful!" "What do you want to do?" Zihua became nervous, she asked this, but in her heart she had already guessed what he meant, he wanted to face the gluttony after a full meal, and he wanted to fight with him happily. In the plan to help Lu Qingyu seize Xiqin, Zihua calculated everything, and everything went smoothly as she expected, but she didn't expect Lu Qingyu to come to such a show at a critical moment. Lu Qingyu is always unexpected.

"You're crazy, it's an ancient beast......"

"That's why I'm fighting even more, and what I'm looking for is to challenge the most powerful force."

"You didn't think you'd die?"

"Absolutely didn't think about it, because I was definitely going to kill it in the end."

Lu Qingyu stopped talking, because the gluttony had already finished eating, and after a full meal, it would be more vicious, more brutal, and more powerful. It stared at Lu Qingyu with eyes like rubies, and Lu Qingyu naturally stared at it too, he was a little nervous, not because he was nervous and would be killed by gluttony, but because he was nervous because he was nervous with excitement when he dealt with the closest thing to God for the first time.

The gluttonous claws left deep marks on the ice, which showed that it was already preparing an offensive, as long as Lu Qingyu relaxed a little, it would use its powerful hind limbs to lift its body up, and then quickly pounce on the prey and tear him to pieces, just afraid of this flutter, few people can dodge, even those who are very good at light skills. Lu Qingyu naturally didn't dare to slack off, after all, what he was dealing with this time was not a human, it was a beast, and it was a divine beast. Of course, he will not be distracted, all he is waiting for is a gluttonous distraction, and then give it a kill. One man and one beast confronted each other like this, all waiting for the best opportunity to attack.

"This gluttony really deserves to be an ancient divine beast! There are really some people who have the thinking and patience to hold on to me for so long. Lu Qingyu just thought about it, and the gluttony saw the opportunity to pounce over, the attack was like Mount Tai pressing on the top, and ordinary people saw its huge body, but they were afraid that their legs were so weak that they didn't have the strength to escape again, but Lu Qingyu was not an ordinary person, so naturally his legs would not be weak, but he became more excited. He spun lightly, thinking that he was dodging, but who knew that the gluttony was very cunning, and calculated that he would avoid it in that direction, and in the process of flying, he had already turned, and it was right to his heart. In the world, except for the light skill of butterflies, which can change direction in the air, anyone can only admit it in this kind of situation where the body is suspended, but Lu Qingyu is Lu Qingyu, and the rule he believes in the most is to never give up, even in such a downwind form, he still wants to find a way to save himself. He used all his true strength to slap the glutton, this palm was for the old man to suffer, but he was afraid that the meridians of the whole body would burst and die, but hitting the taotao, a behemoth whose body was as hard as stone, was like tickling it. Lu Qingyu is a smart person, naturally he will not do useless things, he does not mean to attack gluttony, but uses his body to bounce back his palm power, and the internal strength of the Feixue Peerless Domain will never hurt himself, so Lu Qingyu used his palm power to bring himself away, and the true qi slowly returned to his body when he was supporting him.

After this fierce attack, half of his strength was gone, and Lu Qingyu had just gone through a cycle of true qi, and suddenly felt full of strength. Lu Qingyu himself admired his adaptability when he was in battle.

Gluttony gasped for breath, Lu Qingyu held the sword in one hand and the Moon Hammer in the other and smiled: "You're tired, it's time for me to play." He ran up, the tip of the sword stirred up a spark on the ground, and when he ran between the two front legs of the glutton, Lu Qingyu suddenly stopped, and the gluttony naturally hugged his limbs together, wanting to grab him in the palm of his hand, at this time Lu Qingyu got up early, and a sword stabbed on the glutton's nose, and the gluttony covered his nose in pain, it was angry at this time, and it was angry, naturally it was a big mess, and he could only rely on the instinct of the animal to grab a frenzy in the air, Lu Qingyu smiled: "Where are you grabbing?" After saying this, he raised the Moon Gazing Hammer and smashed it on the three-eyed stone, the stone shattered, and the gluttonous figure began to shrink violently, and finally it was only the size of a flower cat. It turns out that the original form of the divine beast is like this. Lu Qingyu threw away the hammer and said disappointedly.

was looking up to look for Zihua, but found that she was no longer on the tree, there was a small bag hanging on the branch, Lu Qingyu took it down, and the bag was pasted with a note from Zihua to him, writing: "The slave family is sure that the king will defeat the divine beast, but the form of Fuxiqin is very large, and it is too ostentatious to hold it in his hand. There will be a period later! Lu Qingyu closed the note and said, "If you are really a thoughtful person, this is all for me." …… However, how can there be any Fuxiqin? Lu Qingyu looked around, and it was still bare. At that moment, the Thoreau tree suddenly shook, and its roots seemed to rise from the ground. Lu Qingyu was not very patient, seeing that the tree was struggling too slowly, he simply uprooted the tree with his bare hands, the roots jumped out of the ground, and there was an ordinary xylophone underneath, he picked up the piano, looked at it carefully, and said: "It's not as good as Ye Qiuchi's stone qin!" I really can't see anything like a treasure, can it be that the ancient gods are ugly? He plucked the strings twice at random, and the power of the artifact was exerted, and the ice began to fall off, and the smell of fresh earth and young grass came to his nose, and the newly dead Thoreau tree sprouted again. Lu Qingyu said with a smile: "It turned out to be a treasure of dead wood in spring." ”

Lu Qingyu suspiciously put the piano into the Qiankun bag, and miraculously loaded it. From the outside, it looks like a tiny pocket. "She gave me such a good treasure." Lu Qingyu muttered to himself, he thought that this Zihua Jade Heart had no intention of harming him from the beginning to the present, that is, threatening him with Xiaoxue's life, and also to help him take the Xiqin. Who the hell is she? How could she be so god-like, as if nothing in the world could be hidden from her! Although I don't know if this person has ulterior motives for helping him now, if he can take it for his own use, then dealing with Chiba Ling will be just around the corner.
