Chapter 38: Bet, Akahara Sect!
Yang Mu said lightly, "I am Yang Zhaolie's son and I want to see him." The old man told me to wait here for the time being, and you will arrange everything. ”
"Well, I'll arrange it. Cheng Jue pondered for a moment and then said, "Yang Zhaolie doesn't know how long it will take to come back, it may take several years, why don't I find a sect in the imperial city for you first, if you perform well, you will have more cultivation resources, and you may even be summoned by the emperor." ”
Yang Mu nodded, he didn't have any opinions. Cheng Jue asked someone to bring a pen and paper, and said with a smile, "There are more than ten large and small sects in the imperial city, as long as you bring this letter from me, any sect will open the door for you." ”
While speaking, Cheng Jue had already written a few lines on the piece of paper, and the handwriting was very handsome. After that, he stamped the letter again and handed it to Yang Mu, "When your father comes back, I will let him go to you, and you can tell me if you encounter any difficulties during this period." ”
"Thank you, seniors. Yang Mu took the letter, stayed at Cheng's house for a meal, and began to tour the imperial city.
He didn't go to those sects, but sat down in a restaurant, listened to everyone's drunken discussions, and gradually learned about these sects.
"Have you heard of it, that peerless genius of the Aotian Sect was directly promoted by the imperial court a few days ago!"
"Is there such a thing? The one you are talking about, but the genius who has shined in the sect competition for three consecutive years?"
"Heh, if it weren't for such a number one person, with the background of the Aotian Sect, how could he be ranked second among the three big competitions?"
"It seems that this sect competition is probably going to change. ”
"Where can the sky change? No matter how the ranking of these sects changes, in the end, it is not the Canglan Sect that comes out on top!"
"That's right, I don't know how many years in a row, but the Yin family's Canglan Sect has never disappointed. ”
Everyone was silent, and it seemed that the reputation and strength of the Canglan Sect were indeed beyond doubt.
"I don't think so," the silence didn't last long, and someone objected, "Didn't those young masters of the Canglan Sect also be promoted by the imperial court a few days ago? The young master of the Yin family is still far from the heat, this time the big competition, the chief of the various sects, I am afraid that it is from the Shui Luo Sect." ”
"Shui Luo Sect, I think you have drunk too much, Shui Luo Sect is the third all year round, although it has some strength, but how can it be compared with Canglan Sect?"
"Yes, the Canglan Sect has a profound heritage, and it is said that there are ten young monks from the Divine Dawn Realm. ”
Yang Mu sneered secretly on the side, although the sects in this imperial city have abundant resources, their development is not free, and all the monks who have achieved something have been promoted by the imperial court, which has greatly restricted the development of these sects.
However, even so, the Canglan Sect only had ten young cultivators in the Divine Dawn Realm, which was still too few. The "Canglan Sect of the Yin Family" they were talking about, Yang Mu didn't need to think about it to know that it was the sect where the "Young Master Yin" he met before was located. I remember that the two family members that Young Master Yin casually called had the cultivation of the Divine Xi Realm.
This can only prove one thing, even if these sects have abundant resources, they will not allow their disciples to use pills to pour cultivation into them. Yang Mu put away a trace of contempt, it seems that these sects still have some self-control and strength, and they are not all domineering disciples like Young Master Yin.
Everyone was talking, and the shopkeeper of this restaurant suddenly walked out, "Everyone, stop for a while!" With his faint words, everyone stopped talking, and he continued, "This year's sect competition is also coming soon, why don't we start betting now, what do you think?"
The restaurant suddenly exploded, and everyone was bustling and arguing, "The boss is such a cheerful person, I can't wait for a long time!" "Hehe, I'm definitely going to make a lot of money this time." ”
Yang Mu sat in the corner and didn't move, he had probably figured out the situation, all the sects in the imperial city would have a sect competition every few years, and the disciples who performed well in it might be directly promoted by the imperial court. Moreover, this big competition will also affect the rankings of various sects.
At this time, everyone gathered around a table, which was divided into several areas, and the names of each sect were written. There was a man who kept the accounts on the side, and everyone put the silver taels in turn in the area of those sects. Among them, there are naturally many Canglan Sects, followed by the Shuiluo Sect just mentioned, and the rest of the sects only have a few sporadic silver tickets, and even some sects' areas are completely empty.
"Gambling is not a good thing, but it's okay," a smile appeared on the corner of Yang Mu's mouth, and he said to himself, "Let me help you quit gambling." ”
"This little brother is new here, which sect do you want to bet on?" Xiao Er asked with a smile when he saw Yang Mu coming over.
"What kind of gambling method is this?" asked Yang Mu.
A bald man next to him posted it and explained to Yang Mu, "There is only one way to gamble, that is, to bet on the champion, and bet on which sect you think is the most promising." ”
"For example, I'm optimistic about the Chiyuan Sect and I have bet money on it, if the Chiyuan Sect eventually crushes the other sects, how much money can I get?" Yang Mu asked.
"This ......," the big man scratched his bald head, "theoretically speaking, if that really happens, everyone who is betting on the Chiyuan Sect will be proportional. But no one will bet on that kind of sect at all, and if the Chiyuan Sect wins, the money on this table will be all yours. ”
Yang Mu glanced at the area of the Canglan Sect, and saw that the silver tickets there had been piled up into a hill, "Hey, that's really a lot." ”
Yang Mu sighed lightly, but it made the whole room laugh.
"This young man really has some ideas, he actually wants to bet on the Chiyuan Sect! The Chiyuan Sect, the last time the sect was fifteen!"
"Hahaha, I'm going to die laughing, if the Chiyuan Sect becomes a dark horse, won't he get rich overnight?"
"It's a good thing to have dreams, this kid doesn't look like he's from a big family, but don't bet your wealth on the Chiyuan Sect. ”
"Are you going to laugh at me to death? He just said it, how could someone really bet on the Chiyuan Sect, that is the fifteenth, it is already the bottom!"
Yang Mu smiled lightly, of course he would not bet all his net worth on the Chiyuan Sect, on the contrary, after he asked the little second to record the voucher, he just took out a copper plate from his pocket and threw it on the top of the Chiyuan Sect.
Everyone burst into laughter again, this Chiyuan Sect is just a small sect that is not ranked in the Imperial City, how can anyone really believe that the Chiyuan Sect can come out on top. The copper plate left by Yang Mu was more like irony in the eyes of everyone.
What they didn't know was that Yang Mu had already formed a wonderful idea in his mind before leaving the copper plate, "I want to bring a clear stream to this drunken imperial city, and I want to help everyone in the imperial city quit gambling!"
With such a sacred idea, Yang Mu's figure frequently haunts major restaurants and casinos, and the sect competition in the imperial city is very eye-catching, which is a major event, and there will be spontaneous gambling games in many restaurants. Now that Dabi has not yet started, he can only bet on the champion, so Yang Mu quietly passed through all the gambling games, and then left one copper plate after another in the position of the Chiyuan Sect.
Near sunset, Yang Mucai almost walked through the restaurants and gambling houses in this area and came to the door of the Chiyuan Sect. He had already investigated in advance, and the Chiyuan Sect was just a small sect that was too ordinary to be ordinary. However, one thing that Yang Mu noticed was that many years ago, this Chiyuan Sect had also won the first place in the sect competition, and it had also won glory.
This made Yang Mu suddenly recall his former self, in the Heavenly Sacrifice Conference that year, he was identified as a different spiritual root and fell off the altar. It was precisely because of this that Yang Mu decided to join the Chiyuan Sect and help them. Anyway, he has already contradicted Young Master Yin of the current number one sect, Canglan Sect, and for Yang Mu, no matter which sect he joins, it is the same.
"Is anyone there?" Yang Mu knocked on the door of the Chiyuan Sect, but no one responded.
"Is anyone there?" Yang Muyun was really angry, and the dantian asked with a force, and the strength in his hand also increased a little. Rao is like this, Yang Mu knocked for a long time and no one opened the door.
"Could it be that I'm in the wrong place?" Yang Mu muttered to himself, and was about to leave here, but the door of the Chiyuan Sect creaked open, and a young man was sleepy-eyed, rubbing his eyes sloppily, and his tone was sluggish, "Who and what?"
As soon as Yang Mugang saw this person who hadn't woken up, he instantly understood why this Chiyuan Sect had fallen to this step, and he began to regret it, he shouldn't be hot-headed for a while, but he still kept a polite smile on his face and replied, "I'm here to join your sect, this is a letter from the person who recommended me to come......"
"There's no need," the young monk waved his hand and dragged Yang Mu into the courtyard, "You don't need any letters of recommendation to come to our sect, as long as you don't regret it." ”
Yang Mu was stunned and asked, "Don't you need to meet the sect master or elder?"
"There's no need, I'm the senior brother in charge here, the sect master and the elders have been promoted by the imperial court, and all affairs are entrusted to me, you can call me Senior Brother Mei." Senior Brother Mei yawned as he spoke, "You are now a disciple of the Chiyuan Sect, according to the regulations, a new disciple has to clean the courtyard for a month, so you can start today." ”
Yang Mu subconsciously took half a step back and looked around the courtyard, this courtyard was a little gloomy, there were dead branches and leaves and cobwebs everywhere, it had obviously not been cleaned for several years, "A month?
"This is my rule," Senior Brother Mei yawned again, "Forget it, there's no need to clean anything, come with me and arrange a place for you to live." ”
In this way, in a series of shocks, Yang Mu followed Senior Brother Mei all over the Chiyuan Sect. The Chiyuan Sect occupies a vast area, and it is obvious that it once had glorious years, but the sect master and the elders have gone to the imperial court, and only this Senior Brother Mei is left to take care of everything, so it naturally slowly declines.
Yang Mu listened to Senior Brother Mei explain all the way, only to understand that this Senior Brother Mei was only a cultivator in the middle stage of the Shenxi Realm, if it wasn't for the sudden departure of the sect master and others, he wouldn't have been able to take the position of the master at all. At first, he was very excited, because he was alone in charge of the huge Akabara Sect, but he soon realized that something was wrong.
The affairs within the sect are complicated, no matter how hard he works, it is impossible to complete them all, and in the end there will inevitably be omissions, and under the accumulation of omissions, the loopholes are getting bigger and bigger, and in the end he is completely lazy to take care of things. Until now, the Akahara sect has fallen to this field, and it is estimated that it will be banned in a few years.
"By the way, how is your cultivation?" Senior Brother Mei suddenly remembered something, and suddenly asked Yang Mu.
