Remember [ .] in one second, wonderful free reading without pop-ups!

Gambling stones are a popular form of entertainment in the Endless Continent.

Gambling stones were very popular in a long time ago, especially now the wind of gambling stones has not decreased, but even worse, in some large and small cities there are gambling stone bureaus, and even outside there are hawkers who set up stalls to gamble stones. The fundamental reason is that the gambling stone industry is hugely profitable.

The so-called gambling stone is to cut a stone that may contain a treasure and look at the quality of the treasure inside. Some treasures are extremely rare and priceless. Some things are worthless. This requires a pair of discerning eyes, whether you can see the quality of the treasure in the stone, sometimes it seems to be a stubborn stone, which may cut out the amazing treasure. Sometimes what looks like an extraordinary stone may not be able to cut out of it.

Gambling stones, three points rely on eyesight, seven points rely on luck.

Some people devote themselves to gambling stones and lose their fortunes, and some people devote themselves to gambling stones and become rich overnight, which can be described as a few happy and a few sad.

Especially in the ancient times, the heavens and the earth changed greatly, and the entire Endless Continent was almost subverted. Many great powers fell into a deep sleep, many earth-shattering treasures were buried, and even countless years have passed, and these powers or earth-shattering treasures have been wrapped in a layer of stone film, turned into stone fetus, and have been present in this world.

Legend has it that a few decades ago, someone in the inner Sanriku cut out an ancient saint and took her as his servant. The Ancient Saintess was right, since that person got the Ancient Saintess, and learned some secrets from the mouth of the Ancient Saintess, she rose from then on and became one of the most powerful powers in the Endless Continent. It's quite enviable. There are also people who have cut out a shocking treasure, which shocked the Quartet for a while. Since then, the gambling stone line has become more popular, and almost all cities, large and small, have set up gambling stone bureaus.

To Zhou Wen's surprise, there was also a stall set up here, which was specially used to gamble on stones.

This inevitably made Zhou Wen a little interested, and he planned to join in the fun. And looking at the dragon in the sky, it seems that he is also interested in gambling stones. Feng Xiaoxiao approached Zhou Wen and asked, "Senior Brother Zhou, what are you doing here, putting such a pile of broken stones." ”

Zhou Wen looked at Feng and smiled, and said, "As the eldest lady of the Feng family, the first family in Fengcheng, is it possible that you don't even know this?" ”

"Should I know?" Feng Xiaoxiao asked rhetorically.

Zhou Wendeng was speechless, and then briefly introduced the gambling stone to Feng Xiaoxiao. Feng smiled and heard this, and a divine light immediately appeared in those phoenix eyes, pulled Zhou Wen's arm, and shouted: "Senior Brother Zhou, it sounds very interesting, I want to play too." ”

"You don't understand anything, and if you play, you can't lose everything. We can't afford to toss this thousand taels of gold. Hearing this, Zhou Wen immediately squeezed the money bag in his hand tighter, and at the same time admonished Feng Xiaoxiao.

"Isn't this Senior Brother Zhou? Senior Brother Zhou's Tianzong Talent, as the leader of the new life competition of the Chuitian Palace, a small gambling stone is naturally not a problem. Feng Xiaoxiao looked at the gambling stone stall, and the pair of phoenix eyes brightened more and more.

Seeing this, Zhou Wen knew that he couldn't stop Feng Xiaoxiao from saying anything. At the moment, I could only sigh helplessly. In fact, he himself is a little interested and wants to have a play.

In the crowd, the vendor sat on one side, and the roadside stalls were full of all sorts of strange-looking stones.

"Ladies and gentlemen, don't miss it when you pass by, take a little loose silver, gamble on it, and cut it with one knife, you can change your life. Maybe now you are still a down-and-out teenager, then the opportunity has come, you can cut a shocking treasure with this knife, and completely change your life. What are you waiting for, life is a gamble, why not gamble. If you win the bet, from now on, you will become a master and be proud of the rivers and lakes. If you lose the bet, you will only lose a little bit of silver. ”

The vendor can speak well, and in a few words, he has lured a lot of people. Even those who only planned to be spectators on the side were a little nervous and planned to gamble.

"Boss, I'll come."

Someone in the crowd shouted, and then a burly man stepped out of the crowd. The big man had a full beard, was tall and strong, and had a strong voice. When I came to this stall, I looked carefully at the stones that were almost piled up in a mountain.

After a long time, the big man pointed to a stone and shouted at the vendor, "Boss, this is it." ”

I saw that the stone was smooth throughout, and there were no cracks on the body, and it was extremely round, especially when I looked at the edge of the stone by the sun, it was crystal clear, and I seemed to be able to see the inside. Anyone who knows a little bit knows that the smoother the appearance, the more extraordinary the stone, in fact, when it is really cut, there is no good treasure inside.

As soon as Zhou Wen saw it, he knew that this big man didn't know what gambling stones were.

When the merchant heard this, he leaned up, looked at the stone, and said, "Ah, the eldest brother is really a good eyesight, this stone is the treasure of the town's store, and a master has touched it, saying that it can definitely cut out the treasure inside." ”

Zhou Wen smiled bitterly when he heard this, thinking that these vendors were all routines from beginning to end, no matter what kind of stubborn stone or gem, they could become the treasure of the town. Anyway, the more mysterious it is, the better.

"Really?" When the big man heard this, he was immediately overjoyed, and then he raised his head and said proudly: "That's it, uncle, I have been wandering the rivers and lakes for many years, and I dare not say that I am proficient in the gambling industry, but I have never been able to cut out the treasure of the stone selected by my Niu Er." ”

"Yes, yes, yes." The vendor nodded busily.

Among the onlookers around were some knowledgeable people, and when they saw this big man like this, they couldn't help but shake their heads and sigh. Privately muttered to himself:

"This Niu Er is really a stupid big man, he will definitely be slaughtered today."

"Who's to say it's not, that stone, smooth and crystal throughout, although it looks extraordinary, is actually a stubborn stone. A stone like that has a specific name in the gambling stone world is called Jinyu. It means that it is only what it looks like on the surface, and there is nothing real about it. But anyone who knows how to gamble on stones knows that when they encounter a stone like gold and jade, they must not choose. It's good to be stupid and big, and I still prefer this one. ”

"Hey." Someone sighed and expressed sympathy for Niu Er.

"Big brother, have you chosen this stone?" The vendor asked.

Niu Er nodded and said, "It's chosen." How much does it cost? ”

"One hundred gold." The merchant said.

"Sss The people present gasped, and someone shouted: "A piece of gold and jade, such a waste stone can buy a hundred gold, this is no longer killing people, this is a fraud." ”

"Brother, you can't buy that stone. That's not going to cut out the baby at all. "Someone kindly reminded me.

Zhou Wen also frowned slightly when he heard this, this trader is really a lion with a big mouth, picking people who don't know how to do it, and he is a big dealer.

"I said to all the officials, as the saying goes, watching chess is not a true gentleman, and this is also the case in the gambling industry. Others look at stones, choose stones, and solve stones is also the same reason, you don't gamble, but don't interfere with others? When the vendor heard someone reminding Niu Er, he was not happy.

"Okay, a hundred gold is a hundred gold." Instead of listening to the advice of others, Niu Er made the final decision.

"Okay. Or big brother, you have the right idea. When the merchant heard this, he immediately smiled, and hurriedly collected the gold.

"Big brother, do you plan to take it home and solve it yourself, or do you want to solve it here?" The vendor asked cautiously.

"Let's solve it right here." The cow found a chair and sat down. Wait for the merchant to bring the stones.

"Senior Brother Zhou, do you think that in this stone, can you solve the treasure?" Feng Xiaoxiao's phoenix eyes were exposed, and she looked inside with curiosity.

Zhou Wen thought about it and said: "This kind of stone is called gold and jade in the gambling stone, and it is actually the stone that is most unlikely to solve the treasure. But gambling stones, three points depend on eyesight, seven points depend on luck, whether you can solve the baby, no one can say. Before the stone is solved, it can only be said that there is a possibility of a baby in it. ”

But Zhou Wen looked at the scene and felt more and more strange. I always felt that something was not right, but I couldn't find anything wrong.

In a short time, the merchant brought the stone over. looked at the Niu Er and asked: "Big brother, do you want to solve it yourself, or do you want me to find a gambling stone master for you to solve it, this gambling stone master has to spend another ten gold." ”

The second cow stood up and said, "I'll do it myself." ”

Then he took the knife handed by the vendor, this kind of knife is called a calcite knife, it is made of special materials, the price is not high, a few taels of silver can buy one. This knife is quite sharp, and cutting a stone is like cutting tofu. The Niu Er took the calcite knife and looked left and right around the stone, as if to determine the direction of the calcite knife.

He looked at it for a long time, and finally decided on the location of the knife.

I heard that someone was going to dissolve the stone in the surrounding stalls, and at that moment, another group of people hula squeezed over, and the water around the stall was blocked, and everyone opened their eyes wide and stood on their toes to look in. Although it is the most impossible to cut out the precious gold and jade, it still attracts many people.

That Niu Er determined the position of the knife, and immediately cut it with a knife.

The people around looked at it, shook their heads again, and said: "It seems that this Niu Er really doesn't understand, this calcite is the most taboo to cut it with a knife, and you have to take it slowly, lest you hurt the baby inside. ”

When the knife went down, a large stone immediately fell, but the stone surface inside was rough and even cracked, but there was no treasure.

However, to the surprise, the surrounding people exclaimed, "Oh my God, this is actually hidden." ”

Zhou Wen was also surprised, this Niu Er actually chose a hidden stone.

"What's hidden?" Feng Xiao on the side smiled with questions on his face.

"Ordinary gold and jade has a smooth and crystal clear appearance, and after a knife, the inside is also smooth and crystalline. But the clumsiness is different, although the outside is as smooth and crystal as gold and jade, but the inside is rough, cracks are dense, generally in the center of the stone when there is a big baby, there will be this performance. Because its appearance is the same as gold and jade, it has the performance of hiding clumsy, so it is called Tibetan clumsy stone. Generally, there are very few clumsy stones, but I didn't expect to be met by this Niu Er. Zhou Wen explained.

"So there's a big baby in there?" Feng Xiaoxiao's eyes were revealed, and she became more and more curious.

"Not necessarily, but it's more likely to have a baby."

The Niu Er took a deep breath and glanced at the people around him, and when everyone saw this, they immediately held their breath, for fear that it would affect the Niu Er calcite. And at this moment, Niu Er raised the calcite knife and cut it with another knife-
