It was a little dark, the weather was a little bad, the wind was mixed with snowflakes, and there was a thick layer of snow on the ground.

"Is this Nepal? It's cold! Eric's body was curled up, and his thick clothes still couldn't stop the cold.

"I told you not to come, little friend." Jones was still dressed as a cowboy, and it seemed that the cold didn't work for him.

"My dad and mom were great explorers, and I will be great explorers in the future." Eric shouted.

Surprisingly, Evelyn and O'Connor's faces turned red, because Jones was an experienced explorer, and they had only explored once.

"When I go back, I must explore again, just once, and I can't be ashamed."

"What are you doing here?" Chen Xu asked.

"For a medal." Jones said, "A medal left by my friend may be helpful in this expedition, although you have magic, but the magic of the Ark of the Covenant is higher." ”

"Maybe!" Chen Xu did not deny.

13 years of retreat and 13 years of retreat have made his knowledge of the Tao more and more unfathomable, and the knowledge he has absorbed is beyond the imagination of others. And the 13-year sacrifice also made his magic rub like a rocket.

If it weren't for the news of the Ark of the Covenant, he would probably still be in retreat at the moment, comprehending the Tao, absorbing knowledge, and improving his strength.

"The legendary Ark of the Covenant contained the Ten Commandments, written by God Himself, but was later broken."

"Yes." Jones took over Chen Xu's words, "The Hebrews put the broken 'Ten Commandments' into the Ark of the Covenant and brought them to Canaan. ”

The Hebrews, the Jews, were also the later Israelites.

In ancient Egypt, the Pharaohs of Egypt were afraid that the Hebrews would rebel, so they reduced the Hebrews to slavery, believing that in this way, the population of the Hebrews would not increase, and they would not be able to rebel even if they were destitute.

As it turned out, Pharaoh was wrong, and the Hebrews not only did not sink in adversity, but on the contrary, they worked hard to have children, and the number of Hebrew children did not decrease, but increased.

Enraged, Pharaoh made a terrible decision: he would leave his daughters behind and kill all the boys he had born.

And the facts proved that Pharaoh's fears were right, and Moses did lead the Hebrews to rebel against Egypt, but it is not known who is the cause and who is the effect.

Interestingly, the ancestor of the Hebrews was Joseph, the son of Ra and Jacob.

"According to historical records." Jones continued: "King Solomon built a holy city in Jerusalem to store the Ark of the Covenant. ”

"But around 980 B.C.E., Pharaoh Shishak of Egypt invaded Jerusalem and brought the Ark of the Covenant to the city of Tanis."

"He hid the Ark of the Covenant in a secret burial chamber called the Well of the Soul."

"But the city of Tanis has been destroyed, completely submerged in a year-long sandstorm, which is said to be the wrath of the Lord."

"The Germans should have found the city of Tanis, but I'm not sure, no one knows whether the legend is true or not, you know, many legends in history are false."

After a pause, Jones added, "But magic is supposed to be real, it's just forgotten by history." ”

Chen Xu cast a magic in front of him, and the impact on his worldview was fatal, and he was vaguely afraid, afraid to explore those legendary and cursed places.

He knew that his mentality was wrong, and that once an explorer was afraid, he would not be brave enough to move forward.

"There's a tavern up ahead." Chen Xu said.

"Right here." Jones Road.

Jones led everyone inside.

The tavern is somewhat dim, with mottled walls, proving that this tavern has a history.

A group of people dressed in old, stripped clothes gathered around and shouted loudly, as if they were about to lift the roof.

The entry of Chen Xu and the others was just a glance at the group of people, but the woman who was surrounded by the group of people glanced at Jones, full of endless narration.

"Sorry, everybody, excuse me." Chen Xu clapped his palms, attracting their attention, "Who is the boss?" ”

"I'm the boss." The woman who was surrounded in the middle stood up, and on the table in front of her, full of wine glasses, and sat on the table opposite her, which was also full of small wine glasses, and there were some scattered money on both sides, looking at the head, it was dollars.

They're betting on wine, and whoever drinks more wins.

"What's the matter?"

She replied to Chen Xu's words, but her eyes were fixed on Jones.

"Bring us a draught beer, a big one." Chen Xu said.

"Sorry, we don't have draught beer here, only brandy, do you want it, in a word." The landlady stomped on the table.

Chen Xu's brows furrowed slightly, a little unhappy, "We don't want brandy, we want draft beer." ”

"Say that if there is no draft beer, there will be no draft beer, and if you want draft beer, go to other pubs."

"So be it!" Chen Xu's eyes fell on the wine, "I'll drink with you, if you lose, give us draft beer, if we lose, we will serve brandy." ”

"You're as cunning as the people around you, I've drunk so much, and you're going to bet on drinking with me." The female boss scoffed.

"You can call someone to bet with me." The smile on Chen Xu's face became even stronger, "In addition, let's add something, if I lose, these banknotes will be yours." ”

Chen Xu took out his wallet and took out a stack of marks, "This is a German mark, which can be exchanged for pounds and dollars at any bank, according to the international exchange rate." ”

"If you win, the money is yours, but if you lose, you have to promise me a condition."

The female boss hesitated.

She saw that Chen Xu was menacing, and the comer was not good.

"Promise him, promise him, promise him!"

The spectators next to him also began to heckle and roar in unison, so loud that they were about to tear the roof open.

"Okay, I promise you." The female boss hesitated for a moment, then said, "But I want him to fight instead of me." ”

The person the female boss refers to is Jones.

"Me?" Jones pointed at himself and smiled wryly, "Marun, don't make trouble. ”

"I just want you, how about it." Ma Run raised his head proudly, "I've drunk so much wine, and as for them, all of them are a group of soft-footed shrimp, which means that your amount of alcohol is okay." ”

"It's okay if you don't want to."

"I do." Jones blasted the fat man, already drunk, away and sat on it.

"Drink, no one is my opponent, at least here." Chen Xu also sat down and sat opposite Jones.

"The cup is too small, and the drink is not enjoyable, so if you change to a large cup, it is better to take a basin and fill a basin." Chen Xu looked at Jones with an inexplicable smile on his face.

The others looked at each other.

It's brandy, it's a strong drink, and if you drink too much, you will die.

"Why, you don't dare?" Chen Xu glanced over, "Still afraid that I won't pay?" ”

"Who's afraid of whom." The landlady went out of her way and instructed a man to get brandy and "get all my stock out." ”

"Let me declare first, if you drink to death, don't lie on my head."

"Don't underestimate me." Chen Xu laughed, "But don't feel distressed when the time comes." ”

Brandy is still more expensive, at least more expensive than draft beer.

"Distressed? I don't feel distressed. The female boss said boldly.

She brought a large pot of brandy and smiled, "Drink him and you'll win." ”

"Come on, bet, the one who wins under him pays 1.7, and the one who loses under him loses pays 1.3."

"Come, I'll give twenty dollars, buy him and lose."

"I'll pay thirty dollars, buy him and lose."

All of a sudden, the female boss was full of money in front of her, and basically Chen Xu lost, because they didn't believe that Chen Xu could drink it at all, so much brandy, it would kill people after drinking.

"You don't seem to believe I can win?" The smile on Chen Xu's face was even worse, "Then I'll bet on myself myself." ”

Chen Xu threw his wallet out, "All the marks in it are used as gambling books." ”

"And me." Evelyn, who was watching the show on the side, finally couldn't bear it, "I'll also win some money, five hundred pounds, and press Chen Xu to win." ”

"How do you press Chen Xu." O'Connor hurriedly grabbed Evelyn, "There is so much wine, he can't finish it." ”

Brandy is not draft beer, so much wine, he feels his scalp numb when he thinks about it, and he compares his heart to his heart, he doesn't think Chen Xu has finished drinking.

"Why can't you finish drinking, we have to believe Chen Xu." Evelyn said without hesitation.

"You trust him so much?" O'Connor's tone was a little sour.

"You forget, he's no ordinary man." Evelyn leaned into O'Connor's ear, "He's magical, and when have you ever seen him do something you're not sure about?" ”

"Such a good opportunity to make money, if you miss it, you won't have it."

"Okay, I'll take all your orders." The female boss said cheerfully.

In fact, for the people who sit in the bank, everyone bets to one side, which is very dangerous, and only the balance of the bet on both sides is the king.

"In that case, let's get started." Chen Xu picked up the basin and poured it into his mouth.

In fact, drinking alcohol is easier for him than breathing, and he who has cultivated the innate five elements** has a certain control over water, and the essence of wine is still water.

When the wine enters his belly, it turns into moisture, nourishes his cells, and makes him comfortable.

Ha!

Chen Xu let out a long breath, and laughed under the dull gaze of everyone, "I won, count the money, and promise me the conditions." ”

"You won." The female boss was stunned at first, and then admitted to losing the bet, "My name is Ma Run, and I am the boss here, so it's nice to meet you." ”

"I'll deliver the draught beer you want."

"As for the conditions you want, you can mention them directly, and if I can do it, I will definitely do it."

"Jones, you make the conditions." Chen Xu gave up the conditions to Jones.

"I want a medal." Jones was not pretentious, and said directly, "Abernay's medal, I want Abernay's medal, I know you have it in your hand." ”
