"My master often mentions the 100-yuan old man, and he is very respectful. She said that there are not many people in this world who can beat her, even if she encounters someone with extremely high swordsmanship and extraordinary sainthood, she is not afraid. But she said that if she met an old man with 100 yuan, she would definitely lose, and she would lose very badly......

"It's too good to respect the teacher."

"No, my master never said those polite words." Xu Guihong's eyes were amazingly bright: "Since she said so, it must be so." If the witch girl thinks it's not interesting to just fight, we can each take one thing out and make a bet, and if you win me, just take the prize. If I win and you lose, don't worry about it......"

I think about it, a few years later, Xu Guihong's apprentice also seems to have continued this habit, and he wants to bet this and that with others.

However, Xu Guihong is different from her later little apprentices, those girls later lost valuable jewelry and other things in a gambling match with Wu Zhen, that is because they are arrogant and ignore the people in the world. Xu Guihong is obviously not like this, since I saw her yesterday, she can't say a single superfluous word, I'm afraid she won't do anything she is not sure of.

She's sure she'll win me?

Why?

Since she said she wanted to make a bet with me, maybe ...... It's because I have in me what she wants, what she desperately needs. Or is she just very competitive and wants to defeat me and impress everyone?

No, she doesn't seem to be a vain person, and the opinions of others are not painful to her, and she looks like she doesn't care about herself.

If it's not for the battle of victory or defeat, not for the sake of fame, what else can it be?

Wu Zhen and I came to worship our birthday empty-handed, with no long things, and Wu Zhen still carried a short sword on his body to make a appearance. I even carry a short sword.

Still is...... What else did she know from her master?

The hand I tucked in my sleeve slowly clenched, and the real pearl was in my palm.

If there's anything mouth-watering, it's probably related to this bead—

But the Phantom True Pearl is so secret, except for my father and me, even Wu Zhen doesn't know, how can Xu Guihong know?

"Well, the best of my body are these two threads." Xu Guihong lifted her sleeves slightly, at first glance there was nothing, but if you look closely, you can see the thin silver light on her wrists.

"It's ......," I was slightly surprised. You could see that there was a thin and shiny silk thread wrapped around her wrist.

"The witch girl is also a fellow believer, what is this, you can probably guess."

I took a closer look. Suddenly I remembered something my father had said.

"This ...... Is this phantom silk? ”

Xu Guihong smiled, this smile looked very stiff and awkward on her face, as if this person had never smiled, and the corners of his mouth had never been raised, which made people look extremely uncomfortable. As if at a glance, this smile is telling you that the person in front of you is actually hard-hearted and obedient, and this smile is like a night owl's cry, which has another plan.

"Yes, the witch girl is really a knowledgeable person." She said: "This phantom silkworm is not easy to cultivate. It took my master nine years to pick this little silk and divide it into two strands. When he went out this time, the master gave it to the talisman...... What do you think of this thing? I named it Winding Silk, it can be attacked and defended, and the benefits are hard to describe, and it is a treasure that we who practice illusion dream of. I bet on it, what does the witch girl think? ”

I think she's a weasel giving New Year's greetings to chickens. It's just not a good idea.

"The witch girl should also have some strange treasures, why don't you take it out and let's take a closer look at it together?

I have something to be called a treasure. Only the Phantom Pearl.

But this is not only a gift from my father, but also a relic of my mother, which means a lot to me, even if it takes my life, I will not give it to others.

"Witch girl, look at this ......" She reached out and tried to take something out of her bosom, and suddenly turned her head to look out, and I followed her gaze.

There was a little girl in front of the shadow wall, walking quickly, talking to Tu San's maid, and the maid came over and whispered to Tu San's girl: "Girl, here is ...... outside."

The following words were drowned out by the noise, and I only heard Miss Tu San say: "In this case, invite the guest in, and tell someone to find a seat for him at any table." ”

"Yes."

The maid went out, followed by a young man. He was dressed in black and held a small wooden box in his hand. When she reached the shadow veil wall, she didn't come any closer, and the maid took the wooden box and handed it to Madame Tu.

Mrs. Tu didn't take it, but just looked out suspiciously and asked, "Which child is it?" Coming so late? ”

Through the shadow veil wall, the man's face could not be seen clearly.

"I don't know, but the people from the outer courtyard came in and said that there should be an invitation, but they left the invitation at the door."

Mrs. Tu nodded and said, "It's also ......."

Tu San girl also glanced at the person outside, didn't pay much attention, pointed to the box and said, "I don't know what is in this box, I didn't register it in the outer courtyard, but I got it inside?" ”

Mrs. Tu smiled and opened the lid of the box, and suddenly a red light jumped out of the box, so fast that people couldn't see what was going on, the smile on Mrs. Tu's face froze strangely, but the person slowly fell on the chair.

There was a sudden silence behind the shadow veil wall, and then the third girl screamed, and the hall was suddenly in chaos.

"The old lady is dead!"

"Shut up, what nonsense are you talking about! Your grandma isn't dead yet! ”

The owner of Tu Zhuang strode over to help Mrs. Tu up, his technique was extremely fast, pinching a thin centipede from Mrs. Tu's collar, and Tu Qi was busy next to him and said: "Owner, be careful!" It's highly toxic. ”

"This centipede can only squirt a mouthful of poison!" The owner of Tu Zhuang pinched the centipede into two pieces and threw it aside, bent down to adjust Mrs. Tu's internal breathing, and someone sent a pill, which should be used for detoxification, but Mrs. Tu looked like she was all dead, motionless, whether she was fed medicine or water, she couldn't swallow it.

The people outside shouted and surrounded the black-clothed young man who had sent the box. The teenagers I saw yesterday were all there. It's just that today is to pay homage to the birthday, and everyone comes empty-handed without a sword, so as not to be rude to the master's family - and I am afraid that a poisonous centipede will pop out of somewhere, which is impossible to prevent.

If it was a knife and a gun, most of the people present were not afraid. But this kind of thing that has to do with poison is best to hide if you can.

The black-clothed young man stood with his hands in his hands, and the people around him seemed to be ignoring all of them: "Master Tu Zhuang doesn't need to panic, this box is just a small gift from a friend, talk about a little bit of my heart." Someone asked me to ask the owner of Tu Zhuang a word, if you can answer, you will beat or kill me and let you deal with it. ”

Master Tu didn't make a sound, but his hand was slowly raised and fell down slowly and heavily. The people in the hall all stopped talking, and it was strange for a while.
