Volume 1 Gods and Demons in Troubled Times Chapter 59 The grand event begins
In the south of the barren sea, on the route from Luoxia Island to Shenglong Island, the abandoned jade ferry approached an isolated island in the sea that was not in the course.
Under the stars and moon, a team of men and horses who had been waiting on the island for a long time quietly boarded the ship with many treasures. After a stick of incense, the abandoned jade ferry that picked up the person set sail again, and rushed to the next isolated island in the sea for the next seven days.
Late at night, Yi Chudao disappeared in the first half of the night, and came back in the second half of the night. Hu Lunyun and Lu Cong seemed to have been prepared a long time ago, and each took out a pair of chopsticks, one in each hand, and scraped them back and forth from the tip of the chopsticks to the root of the chopsticks, just like they were about to start a meal. However, these two people inexplicably resemble sleepwalking, and they have to start from the night when Yi Chu Daoist left half a month ago: that night with some wind, whirring into the cabin, there was still a little cool, until late at night, when Yi Chu Daoist came back leisurely, his hand was like a trick, with a food box, and when Yi Chu Daoist stood up with a broken cane, sat down cross-legged, and placed the roast chicken, roast duck, and all kinds of seafood delicacies in the food box all over the ground, as if which banquet was directly brought back! At the beginning, Yi Chudao was alone with the food, blowing the wind, drinking some wine, comfortable!
And then it changed!
After Hu Lunyun, who was sleeping soundly, was pulled up from his dream by a sudden fragrance, he still regarded it as a dream, but he couldn't wave it away when he raised his hand, but as soon as he was greeted by Yi Chu Daoist, he immediately woke up, and hurriedly sat up and ate supper with Yi Chu Daoist! Hu Lunyun ate and drank back to eat and drink, and by the way, he also kicked Lu Cong awake.
Lu Cong was so hungry that he couldn't do it earlier, so he thought that he wouldn't be hungry if he fell asleep, but now he didn't care about all this, and let go of eating! After a big meal, Lu Cong fell asleep again.
A few times later, whenever Yi Chu Dao people went out and came back, Hu Lun Yun would open his eyes on time to smell the smell, and take Lu Cong to eat and drink with Yi Chu Dao people, and his life was so uncomfortable.
Under the nourishment of such a few suppers, Lu Cong, who was growing his body, was a little rounder.
Lu Cong asked Yi Chu Daoist where he went every time, but Yi Chu Daoist always smiled and didn't answer, but a smug look involuntarily appeared on his face, like a victorious general.
Lu Cong ate the meat and asked the two people beside him, "Second brother may not have been five or six days this time, has he?"
Yi Chudao took a sip of wine and replied, "Oh! I have seen it, Xiao Jushi still has his own business, but everything is fine with him, rest assured!"
Lu Cong nodded, but he was a little rough in his appearance, and he had been with Hu Lunyun for a long time, which did have some impact.
Yi Chu Daoren, who rarely drank wine, hummed and sang a minor tune to himself: "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable Enlightenment! Bao Wu will return victorious! Today's companion next to friends! Eat and drink proudly! If there is no good thing! I will..." Yi Chu Taoist shook his head with the rhythm, and his voice pulled back and forth, sometimes high-pitched, sometimes low, tactfully combined, but the voice was really not good, and the two of them had to eat food and forget about the boiling voice for a while.
Yi Chudaoren, who squinted slightly, looked at the expressions of the two, smiled and continued to sing, without stopping, singing until he was satisfied, then stopped and smacked the wine, and swayed freely through the wine.
An hour later, full of wine and food, Hu Lunyun was crooked to the side and picked his teeth, Lu Cong stood up and held his stomach, wanting the sea breeze to help him eat faster, Yi Chudao didn't finish drinking a pot of wine, he fell aside, his face was red in black, and he fell asleep snoring.
Hu Lunyun was curious, took the wine pot that Yi Chu Dao people drank, lifted the lid and smelled it, at first there was no aroma of wine, but then there was an extremely strong wine dew with some other aromas gushing in, it smelled good, Hu Lunyun couldn't help but want to take a sip, but suddenly Yi Chu Dao who was already asleep sat up and snatched it, hugged it tightly in his arms, and then poured down, and continued to sleep, the wine in this wine pot did not spill a cent.
Hu Lunyun was surprised, scratched his head, thought about it, and thought about it, just think that Yi Chu Daoist was stingy after drinking, and when he woke up, he would ask for a sip to see what it tasted like.
After daybreak, the ferry seemed to be much more lively, and this time it began to sound everywhere. Lu Cong looked at the second floor above, "Ping Pong!" The sound was endless, and even the stairs creaked, and people kept going up and down. Even in this place where the goods are stored in the basement, there are demon clans who come to remove some of the various goods stored here from time to time, as if they are preparing for the event.
Lu Cong recalled: A few days ago, the ferry would dock at a small island almost every day, or a large ship approached from the sea, and there were always many people who did not want to show their faces one after another, which seemed extremely secretive.
The lively atmosphere on the ferry boat that could pass through the cabin lasted until the moment of darkness, and the atmosphere on the ferry was finally pushed to a climax after a sunset gong sounded, and the dance music began to be heard, and the cheers echoed around the ferry.
Yi Chu Daoren, who was originally meditating with his eyes closed, opened his eyes at the sound of the gong, stood up, held the broken banner staff in one hand, and said to Lu Cong and Hu Lunyun: "It's time! Let's go up together, and also see the grand event that can only be found on the abandoned jade ferry!"
Lu Cong and Hu Lunyun both had a gleam in their eyes, full of curiosity, like two rural buns who are about to enter the county to see the world, full of expectations!
Yi Chudaoren, who was familiar with the way, walked in front and led the two of them to the second floor from the stairs on the ground floor, this time there was no one to stop him, unlike before, if he walked up without anything, he would have to be reprimanded by the guards.
Emerge!
A flash of brilliance, singing and dancing!
Yi Chu Daoist had already seen such a scene on the second floor, so naturally he was not surprised, but as soon as these two came out of the stairs, they were dazzled by the jewels on the second floor, Lu Cong and Hu Lunyun thought to themselves: Compared with the bottom floor, it seems to have changed the world!
Lu Cong cautiously looked to the left, and Hu Lunyun looked carefully to the right, the two of them did not let go of the slightest curiosity, one left and one right followed Yi Chudao people through the crowd.
The second floor of the ferry is extremely gorgeous, and the pillars, window frames, and cabins around it are all carved beams and paintings, painted with all kinds of strange patterns, rare beasts, fairies, and ancient gods! All of them are lifelike! They are all very beautiful! A large lamp hanging on the top is extremely bright, and the cabin that illuminates it is like daylight, without a trace of darkness, even the shadows fall on the soles of their feet, even through the windows of the hull, this beam of light can also shine directly into the sea water for a few inches, attracting the swimming fish in the sea chasing the light, and groups of people follow the ferry.
At this moment, there are a large number of people in the cabin, there are not only monks of the three sects and nine streams of the human race, the sects are very different, and the cultivation is uneven, but how many pockets have some spiritual gold in their pockets to support the expenses on the ferry; there are ordinary but bold people from various countries, all of whom have found their way from elsewhere, and only got on the boat halfway, wanting to get on the boat and try their own happiness! Among the rest, you can see the real body of the demon clan and the spirits, not a few, but more of them are turned into human bodies, but they still reveal their original heads, as if they are announcing that they are now in their own demon clan's territory, so they have the confidence to be unrestrained, and even the human race is a lot more vicious.
There is a platform in the center of the second floor, which is enough to accommodate hundreds of people, and there are many fox beauties wearing tulle masks, graceful postures, wearing extremely revealing clothes and dancing to the music, dancing extremely provocatively, and exerting their clan charm skills seamlessly. A group of people landed on the side of the platform, crying and mourning while playing music, and from time to time they glanced at the demons and spirits passing by, and the horror overflowed in their hearts, and their fingertips were unstable from time to time.
On the right side of the platform, there is a ring-like arrangement, which occupies a small area, but there is no one at the moment, and it is vacant there; on the left side is the casino, there are many gambling tables, everything can be gambled, and everything is picked up, as long as it can be opened! It is very lively, people of all ethnic groups and so on will be surrounded by water, shoulder to shoulder, looking from afar, the moving crowd will squeeze this casino like a huge maggot field. In addition, the casino is full of laughter, crying, shouting, scolding, and all kinds of vulgar language.
Between the casino and the ring, there is an ordinary auction place for ferries, which is a little deserted, and at a glance, there are few seats, and none of the monks present can see each other, but those who can sit here are from some families, and they also want to try their luck, maybe they can pick up a leak. But think about it, after all, what can be taken out of the abandoned jade ferry is not ordinary, the starting price is not low, and no one is too expensive, it is naturally worth the price, you don't suffer a loss if you buy it, you don't have to rush if you can't buy it, and you can find a way to get off the boat.
The opposite side of the auction hall is tightly enclosed, although there is nothing to see, but the crowd is full of people, the liveliness is not inferior to the casino, and the people enter and exit in a close and orderly manner. Standing outside, you really can't see the scene inside, you can't help but be curious, there is a sound, but you can only listen to a rough outside, anyway, there are intermittent voices of men and women, and the squirting comes out through the fence, which makes people's hearts itch.
Yi Chudaoren, who squeezed through the crowd, took the two of them to the slightly empty place of the stage, and looked at the fox beauties on the top, dancing like silk, hooking people around their fingers, looking forward to wandering away, and the fragrance around them was like waves coming in waves, which was fascinating.
Yi Chu Daoist admired it for a while, and then said to the two of them leisurely: "Poor Dao will take you two to enjoy the singing and dancing first, and then go shopping more, don't worry, there is food and drink here, and it doesn't cost money, it's very beautiful!" Yi Chu Daoist suddenly reached out and pressed the head of a little demon passing by with food, picked up a bunch of fresh grapes from the tray, handed it to the two, and signaled that the two of them did not need to be restrained, and they should be regarded as going home!
Lu Cong and Hu Lunyun have never seen this battle, but the two of them are talented and learn very quickly, in an instant, they even eat and take, their hands are full, and they eat extremely happily, it is not in vain that they listened to Yi Chu Daoist before, and they didn't eat during the day, so they left such an empty stomach, and they were waiting for this meal.
Seeing this, Yi Chu Daoist scolded with a smile: "You are really a little family, don't worry, there is nothing else, there is no shortage of food and drink, for seven days in a row, night and night!"
Lu Cong asked while eating: "Master, aren't we going to see somewhere else?
Hu Lunyun also nodded.
Yi Chu Daoist touched his beard twice, changed his face to a serious face, and said righteously: "What is there to see in other places! Casinos are harmful! There is no money for auctions! There is another place that is not suitable for children! Just stay here honestly! Wait for the ring to open, we may be able to go and see the excitement!"
Lu Cong felt that Yi Chu Daoist was reasonable, and was about to nod.
Passing by a demon clan in front of him, it was the bear-headed human body, extremely strong, just rubbing the three of them over, suddenly retreated back, looked down at Yi Chu Daoist, and scolded: "Stinky Taoist, finally let grandpa meet you, do you still gamble today? Last time, you won back my pair of jasper golden melon seeds, so that I don't have any guys to eat now, and now I'm empty-handed! I am ridiculed! Today, you have to let me win my guy back! Do you dare?"
Yi Chudao couldn't hold back his face, and pretended to be stupid and said: "This donor, are you mistaken? Poor Dao never bets against others, where will you win a pair of jasper golden melon seeds from the donor?"
When the demon clan saw that Yi Chu Dao didn't admit that he had won, he was not happy at that time, and threatened: "If you don't obey me, I will shout loudly, let those who lose know that you are here, and see if you can get out when the time comes!"
Yi Chu Daoist looked at Lu Cong and Hu Lunyun, the two of them were immersed in hard work, pretending not to hear anything, and when Yi Chu Daoren raised his head, the two of them quietly looked at each other and smiled, and secretly laughed.
Yi Chudao saw that the stupid big man in front of him couldn't leave, so he had to agree: "It's okay to gamble, but what do you have to gamble on?"
The bear-headed demon clan nodded: "According to you!"
Yi Chu Daoist pretended to be deep and thought for a while before asking the bear-headed demon clan: "Is this donor born with divine power?
The bear-headed demon clan smirked: "That's natural! What's the matter?
Yi Chudao showed a surprised face, and after thinking for a while, he said: "The donor's divine power, the poor Dao is naturally incomparable, but for the sake of fairness, the poor Dao compares the strength with the donor, and it is not considered to take advantage of the donor." There is something in front of the poor road, if the donor can lift it off the ground with his own strength, then the poor road will return the pair of jasper golden melon seeds with both hands!
The bear-headed demon clan was overjoyed: "I see that you stinky Taoist priest is blinded by lard, and you actually came up with such a crooked idea! Hmph! I naturally dare to do it! But I think you are also a righteous gentleman this time! Stinky Taoist priest, what do you want to move!" The demon clan named Bi Xiong looked around to see what Yi Chu Daoist was talking about.
Yi Chu Daoren smiled at the corner of his mouth: "In this case, the donor of Bixiong, you don't need to look around, it is naturally the donor himself in front of the poor road, if the donor can lift himself off the ground, the poor road will admit defeat, how?"
Bi Xiong was stunned for a moment, but then laughed again, before he could figure it out in his head, he was eager to try, but after a quarter of an hour, Bi Xiong was sweating profusely, but he couldn't find a way to lift himself, and finally he was exhausted, so he had to lie on his back, and after a while, he was carried out.
Yi Chu Daoist shook his head and sighed: "It's a pity! The donor is unlucky! The poor Dao is not like winning!"
Lu Cong, who finished eating a chicken leg, was stunned and asked, "Master, how many bad brains have you deceived by this method!"
Yi Chu Daoist subconsciously replied: "It's not much, you calculate how many meals you have eaten before, and you will cheat as many as you want!"
"Oh, the master is really good!" Hu Lunyun swallowed and praised.
Yi Chu Daoist reacted, suddenly blushed a little, and argued: "Where is this deception?! This is a righteous victory from the poor Dao!"
After a while, Yi Chudao was a little itchy, so he placed the two of them in the ring, and he said that he wanted to walk around, and walked into the casino as soon as he walked.
Xiao Fengqi, who happened to be passing by at this time, happened to see this scene, and hurriedly picked up Yi Chudaoren and asked, "Senior, what's wrong?"
Yi Chu Daoist pursed his lips and complained: "Hey! The world is not good!
Xiao Fengqi immediately understood, these days he had already heard about Yi Chudao's gambling deeds in the ferry, and he was reacted to afterwards, and they all scolded Yi Chudao for cheating, one to ten, ten to hundred, so that now the casino is not allowed to enter.
Xiao Fengqi turned his head and asked, "Since the seniors are here, the eldest brother and the third brother must also come up, right?"
Yi Chu Daoist nodded: "There is nothing to do left and right, so I will take them up to take a look, and now they are eating tea in the ring!"
Xiao Fengqi nodded, his own business was already over, so he simply accompanied the two brothers, so as to guard against some unscrupulous people.
Helping Yi Chu Daoren to the ring, Lu Cong saw it as soon as he looked up, and after swallowing a mouthful, he shouted: "Second brother!
Although Hu Lunyun was worried, but seeing that Xiao Fengqi was fine now, he didn't ask too much, just picked up two glasses of wine, gave one to Xiao Fengqi, and the two drank it all.
Lu Cong didn't care, and asked directly: "Second brother, where have you been? I am still very worried about not seeing anyone these days!"
Xiao Fengqi blinked and said slightly: "I was entrusted by someone to have some things on this ship, but now it's over!"
Xiao Fengqi didn't say anything more, Lu Cong was naturally observant, didn't ask more, and ate by himself, just looked at Yi Chu Daoist and asked, "Master, why did you come back?"
Yi Chudao didn't answer, and he was a little resentful.
After an hour, the demon clan on the side of the ring gradually increased, busy cleaning up the venue, and the ring seemed to be about to open for business!
Lu Cong drank a cup of silver grass sweet juice and asked Xiao Fengqi quietly, "Second brother, what is the inappropriate place for children that the master said earlier!
Xiao Fengqi's old face turned red for a while, and Hu Lunyun on the side was also listening with his ears pricked up, lest he miss a word or a half.
Xiao Feng hesitated: "This... I don't know very well!But it's really a place for children, the third brother will be able to go by yourself when you grow up, and there is no need to ask about this in such a hurry now!" Xiao Fengqi didn't know what to say, after all, he had only heard of it, but he had never gone in to experience it personally, and he was still a child, so how could he explain the taste clearly.
Such an answer made it difficult to hear Lu Cong and Hu Lunyun.
