Chapter Seventy-Two: Seeing the Truth in Adversity
"Hey, is that big brother? I'm Wuji. Fan Wuji transmitted a voice through the transmission note. It is not difficult to hear that his voice is full of apprehension and hope.
After waiting for a long time, there was not the slightest sound from the other side. Fan Wuji held the transmission note urn, and his heart became more and more disappointed. His heart was cold. The five brothers, when they swore their knots, they all looked like they were righteous and cloudy. When they bowed, they were like brothers, and they said some bold words about common hardships. But when Fan Wuji was in trouble, he was only a few hundred taels of silver, and there was no one to help him. To be honest, a few hundred taels of silver is nothing to a cultivator like them. After all, the path of cultivation is not enough for a mountain of gold and silver.
"Yo! Are you still a student of the Fish Dragon Academy? Or are you a high-ranking cultivator? You have this little bit of talent? You just have this little ability? Just a few hundred taels of silver, what is it. For a few hundred taels of silver, I'm afraid I can't even buy an ordinary pill. There is no money to come out and gamble. Since you don't have money, don't pretend to be a big-tailed wolf. At this time, from the casino, a woman in her thirties and forties, who still had charm, walked out. She sneered as she looked at Fan Wuji.
At this time, when Fan Wuji heard this, he felt endless humiliation in his heart. He Fan Wuji, a dignified cultivator, was ridiculed by a mortal. Is it tolerable or intolerable? He really wanted to break the seal and teach everyone in this casino a lesson or two.
But after thinking about it, he still suppressed this thought. After all, this is the imperial city, at the feet of the Son of Heaven. And on the outskirts of the imperial city, there is also the Ichthyosaurus Academy. Ichthyosaurus Academy is also the cradle of the strong. So here, the place where the law is most severe. Even the cultivators who are waiting for leisure do not dare to be presumptuous in the imperial city. After all, on the surface of the Tang Kingdom, the imperial power is still supreme. So here, the cultivators and the royal family, came to a consensus. Cultivators in the Imperial City also have to follow the laws of mortals.
And Fan Wuji came in voluntarily to gamble. And it was indeed he who lost the money. It was also he himself who owed the casino a high gambling debt. No one forced him at all. So even if he is a cultivator, he has to pay off his gambling debts before he can leave.
Of course, there are no absolutes in everything, if he is a spiritual sea powerhouse, I am afraid that the owner of this casino will smile and exempt him from gambling debts. Then they will treat each other with good words and good tea. It's a difference in strength and level. On the surface, Fan Wuji is just an acquired cultivator, and for Wanbaolou, which is extremely hard in the background, he is not afraid of an acquired cultivator at all.
At the same time that Fan Wuji was angry, at this time, the transmission talisman in his hand suddenly trembled a little. Fan Wuji was immediately overjoyed, and he opened the transmission note basket with hope.
At this time, a familiar voice came from the transmission note: "I'm Zhang Jin." Second brother. What's wrong with you? It's the first time you've reached out to me after all this long retreat. ”
Listening to the familiar voice, he also understood that he did rarely contact his eldest brother Zhang Jin, and he was suddenly a little embarrassed. He was very embarrassed, he didn't contact him for a long time, and when he got in touch, he borrowed money. He felt a little ashamed in his heart.
So he muttered for a while, then picked up the transmission note and said, "Big brother." I'm ashamed to say it. Wuji: I gamble money in the casino. I lost all my money, and I owe a few hundred taels of silver. I can't afford to pay my debts. So I want to ask the eldest brother to borrow some silver and turn around one or two. I... ”
"Hey, what should I do? It turned out to be such a trivial matter as borrowing money. Don't say a few hundred taels of silver, it is a few thousand taels of silver, tens of thousands of taels of silver. I can afford your brother, too. I couldn't get out of a meeting. Second brother. You name an address, and I will order someone to send a thousand taels of silver. This money will be given to you by my brother. You don't have to pay it back. Zhang Jin in the transmission note said like this.
Although Zhang Jin is very generous. He put a few hundred taels of silver, and said it very plainly. But a few hundred taels of silver is a huge amount of money that ordinary people can't earn in ten years. Therefore, when Fan Wuji heard what he said at this time, he was even moved.
He was silent for a while, and said solemnly: "Great grace is not grateful. It's still big brother, you are righteous. Unlike Taozi, they have no money when they open their mouths and close their mouths. ”
"What? Tao Zi has no money? Zhang Yutian and Mao Chunlei have any money, I don't know. But Tao Zi had just borrowed eight thousand taels of silver from me a few days ago. He said he needed money for a business, so I lent him it. He took so much silver from me, how could he not take out a few hundred taels of silver and lend it to you, second brother?" Zhang Jin said in a surprised tone on the other side of the transmission note.
Hearing this, Fan Wuji immediately became furious, and immediately poured the perfect-level internal force into his left palm and slapped the table violently. In the next moment, the wooden table suddenly fell apart.
He had eight thousand taels of silver, but he shouted that he had no money. The sworn brother asked for a few hundred taels of silver for emergency, but there was no more.
The angry Fan Wuji didn't know what to say for a while. Is this the so-called sworn brother who shares the suffering? This is the so-called righteousness and righteousness?
Thinking of this, Fan Wuji couldn't help but feel gloomy. He sighed in his heart that it was really human nature. You are sincere to others, but others may not be sincere to you.
Seeing Fan Wuji, he was silent. Zhang Jin's voice came from inside the transmission note again. He said: "This Tao is really a snob. I knew he was snobbish. But I just feel like he's snobbish with others. I thought he was pretty good to his brother. But he has 8,000 taels of silver, and he refuses to lend a little to your second brother for emergency. So angry people. If I had known, I would not have lent him any money. ”
"That's it, big brother. Experience one thing and see a person clearly. I just need to see him for who he really is. And big brother. Thank you for your help. If others are useful to my brother and mine, I will definitely go to the soup and go to the fire. Fan Wuji sighed and said.
"Brother. Isn't it really comparable to some silver?" Fan Wuji muttered to himself with emotion.
After about a cup of tea, a man rode a tall horse, galloped quickly, and then stopped in front of the gate of Wanbaolou. Soon the man walked into the Wanbao Building and came to the backyard of the Wanbao Building.
This man seemed to know Fan Wuji. As soon as he entered the backyard, he knelt down on one knee in the direction of Fan Wuji. He said aloud: "The little one has seen Wuji Gongzi. My family, Zhang Jingongzi, specially ordered the small one to send a thousand taels of silver to help Wuji Gongzi. My son-in-law also said that if the money is not enough, it is okay to speak. If my son-in-law can help, he will do his best to help. ”
After speaking, the man took out a pile of silver tickets from his bosom. These silver tickets are all silver tickets that can be used nationwide. Each silver ticket can be exchanged for one hundred taels of silver. When this pile of silver tickets was handed to Fan Wuji. Although it was not the first time that Fan Wuji had seen so much money, he was still quite excited.
At this time, Fan Wuji couldn't help but think of Zhang Jin's figure in his mind. He whispered to himself, "Big brother." Thank you. ”
