The North Bazaar is the largest of the four major bazaars in Pengcheng, and it is also the most lively. There are no less than 20 large and small gambling arenas in the bazaar, the most famous of which are Wu and Qi.

The gambling arena is not only about force gambling, but also about the Dan Master's Danshu gambling fight, the formation gambling of the formation cultivation, and the Fu Xiu's charm gambling and so on. Of course, the most profitable is the gambling stone.

The gambling stones here are different from the Luojialing Mine in Sioux City, but more diverse. In the case of the Qi Family Gambling Arena, for example, they will collect a large number of rough stones, which will then be graded by an experienced gambling stone master.

There are generally three ways to play the divided rough stones:

First, the buyer Hualing Stone buys the rough stone, and the loss and win are all their own. This is also the way of Luojialing Mine.

Second, bet against the dealer and bet on the aura stored in the rough stone.

Third, two buyers bet against each other, betting on the aura stored in the rough stone.

Except for the first way, the other two sellers will make the banker and set up a gambling game. The odds are 1 to 1, but whether you win or lose, the dealer has to take a 10% profit. So under normal circumstances, the dealer will not lose money.

Of course, there are two additional provisions when making a bet:

First, when the two sides bet on the reserves of the rough, the bet must be three hearts or more apart. For example, if one side bets on five hearts and the other side bets on either eight or two, the rule is to avoid a tie.

Second, the buyer bets against the banker, and the buyer guesses first. This is also to give sweetness to the buyer, after all, the dealer has rich experience in gambling stones, and it is easier to guess.

Today's Qijia gambling arena is particularly lively, because some people have won seven games in a row, and they are betting against the dealer. This kind of thing almost never happens.

Participating in the gambling stone was Sun Yue, the eldest of the Sun family in Pengcheng, who was twenty-five or sixteen years old and wore a mourning dress. Of course, there are no dead people in his family, and this mourning dress is to disgust the Qi family. He was followed by a hunchbacked old man, his face was yellow, but his eyes were full of light.

In fact, gambling stones will always be sellers, but Sun Yue pressed the bet, which is not good for the Qi family.

In the first three bets, because everyone believed in the vision of the Qi family gambling stone master, they didn't lose anything. But in the fourth game, some people began to bet with Sun Yue. In the fifth game, everyone saw that the Qi family gambling stone master was not good! So they called.

Three times in a row, in the seventh game, the Qi family suffered heavy losses. Because no one wants to bet on the family to win, so under the odds of one to one, the dealer pays for it.

Qi You, the person in charge of the gambling stone, saw that the hunchbacked old man behind Sun Yue was a soul cultivator and was very experienced in gambling stones. He discussed with Sun Yue and was willing to send a large sum of spirit stones, hoping that he would stop. But Sun Yue was determined to embarrass the Qi family today, not only did not stop, but increased the chips.

Qi You didn't dare to gamble anymore and reported the matter to the owner Qi Yu. Qi Yu is also a high-class person in Pengcheng, he personally went to Sun Yue, persuaded him with good words, hoping that he could stop here, and said that he would hold a banquet in the Drunken Immortal Residence tomorrow.

Who is Sun Yue? If you give him some color, he will open a dyeing shop, and if you stick out your nose, he will climb on your head. Now that Qi Yu has regressed, he is even more unscrupulous. threatened to gamble today to close the family.

As soon as Qi Yu heard this, he had the heart to kill. He ordered someone to change a batch of rough stones and personally gambled with Sun Yue.

When Lin Man'er and his party arrived at the Qi family gambling arena, the two sides were engaged in the fifth gambling fight. Lin Man'er looked at the large number of spirit stones, and her heart was like a cat's paw scratching. He took out his two pineapples and placed a bet. By the seventh game, he had multiplied eightfold, or sixteen pineapples.

Song Yao was also moved when he saw that he had won so easily. not only took out all his savings, but also asked Fenglan and Song Shi to lend her a little more. However, Fenglan didn't have many spirit stones on her, and all the things she had robbed in the Luo Family Spirit Mine before were spent on Lin Man'er.

Although Song Yi has spirit stones, he is the master of the first hall, and if he loses, there will be a problem with the Wind Thunder Martial Pavilion.

Song Yao couldn't borrow the spirit stone, so he wanted to mortgage the Xiaohan Sword. This action made Song Shi extremely annoyed and reprimanded her very harshly. Lin Man'er stood up and comforted: "You don't have to gamble, I can divide you into 30%." ”

After hearing this, Song Yao smiled like a lotus flower blooming in a pond. Song Shi was a little worried: "If you see it, you will accept it, this time Qi Yu will go down in person, there is no chance." ”

Lin Man'er patted his chest and said confidently: "I won't lose." ”

Song Shi wanted to say a few more words to him, but after thinking about it, it was not a bad thing to let him suffer a loss.

At the beginning of the bet, according to the rules, Sun Yue's side picked first and said the content of aura. Sun Yue gave the hunchbacked old man a look, and the old man picked a piece of sure one, and after some perception, he told Sun Yue ten pineapples and thirty-two red hearts.

When Qi Yu heard the number, his brows tightened, which was obviously the same as what he guessed. As a dealer, he was helpless about this, so he had to guess ten pineapples and thirty-five hearts.

After both sides have guessed, the bets begin. Lin Man'er pressed Sun Yuesheng very simply. The results of the stone examination came out, ten pineapples and thirty-three red hearts.

Song Yao jumped up happily, Lin Man'er won thirty-two pineapples, and in addition to the cost of two, she could also divide three.

The bet continued, this time Qi Yu picked first, and he specially picked a large rough stone. Of course, according to the rules, Sun Yue's side still guessed first. The hunchbacked old man told Sun Yue that there were five hundred pineapples plus seventeen red hearts.

Qi Yu complained bitterly in his heart, but his face was silent, he guessed five hundred pineapples plus seven red hearts. The reason for this is to make the gamble less losing. Fortunately, there are many fewer bets with Sun Yue this time.

Lin Man'er won from two to thirty-two, and others naturally began to pay attention to him. Song Yao's eyes rolled around a few times, thinking that Qi Yusheng should be suppressed. Fenglan also felt that no one could win all the time, and this time it was Qi Yu's turn. Lin Man'er listened to the suggestions of these two and hesitated.

Although Song Shi wanted Lin Man'er to teach a lesson, but now the gains and losses of more than sixty pineapples, the price of this lesson is a bit big. He has lived for so long, and he still has a hand in pondering other people's minds. Although Qi Yu looked confident on the surface, and the guess number had changed, experience told him that Qi Yu was posturing. He told Lin Man'er to trust his own judgment.

Lin Man'er walked out of the crowd, walked to the rough stone of the bet and wandered around, and then pressed Sun Yuesheng.

Sun Yue glanced at him, put down the teacup in his hand, spit out a sip of tea leaves on the ground, and said contemptuously: "Even if you have the vision, follow Young Master Ben, you can't pay for it." ”

Lin Man'er hated the tone of his voice, and even more hated his arrogant arrogance, and cursed him in his heart for losing everything.

The results of the stone examination came out, five hundred pineapples plus sixteen red hearts.

Qi Yu didn't dare to bet, if it went on like this, it would be impossible for him to win against the hunchbacked old man. He asked Qi You to invite his son, and exchanged a batch of rough stones from the town.

However, before Qi You could go out, he saw a young man wearing a light blue wide-sleeved robe with a red rope and white jade hanging from his waist. He was the son of Qi Yu and his name was Qi Ran. In terms of talent for gambling stones, he is far superior to his father.

When the hunchbacked old man saw that it was him, he was shocked and persuaded Sun Yue to stop. But Sun Yue was very dissatisfied with Qi Ran, so he only heard him snort coldly: "Qi Ran, last time you embarrassed Young Master Ben, today Young Master Ben will definitely let your Qi family close." ”

Qi Ran's face was gentle, and he didn't speak ill of him, but walked to the hunchbacked old man, bowed and saluted, "Kid, Qi Ran has seen Senior Fang. The last time Rongcheng said goodbye, the kid couldn't ask his seniors for advice in time, which is often a pity. I didn't expect to meet my seniors here today, it's really an honor for the kid. ”

As the saying goes, don't hit the smiling person with a hand, but the old man can't help it, just nod slightly. Sun Yue glared at the old man with great displeasure and reminded him not to release the water. The old man sighed and said to Qi Ran: "You pick first, the old man will definitely go all out." ”

Qi Ran smiled slightly, and walked among the more than a dozen rough stones in the town. These rough stones are not large, but the aura contained in them is really not low, and for example, an egg-sized rough stone sells for fifty pineapples.

After some selection, Qi Ran finally selected a rough stone the size of a goose egg and asked the old man to look at it. The old man's right hand rested on the rough stone, and a pair of eyes slowly closed. After a long time, he opened his eyes and offered fifty-two pineapples plus twelve kumquats.

After hearing this, Song Yao was a little puzzled: "Why are there no hearts?" Aren't you afraid of a draw? ”

One guest explained, "The aura reserves of these rough stones are so large that they can't be accurately measured. Therefore, even at the level of kumquats, it is enough to divide the winners and losers. ”

Qi Ran, like the old man, touched the rough stone to investigate. It took him a little longer than the old man, and his guess was much worse. It's fifty-three pineapples plus ten kumquats.

The two sides say the numbers, and it's time for the caller to investigate. The order is determined by the size of the bet, and Lin Man'er is in eighth place.

After more than a dozen big buyers who participated in the gambling stone investigation, they began to place bets, and the bets were basically the same as those of the old man.

Qi You personally used the spiritual machine to refine the aura, and the process was a little longer than before.

Since Song Yao guessed wrong last time, she didn't say anything this time, and looked at Lin Man'er quietly. Lin Man'er hesitated and bet on Sun Yue to win.

Qi Ran glanced at him, and had a bad premonition in his heart. In fact, he was already present when Sun Yue gambled for the fifth time, but he didn't show up. In this gambling game, except for Sun Yue, Lin Man'er has never lost once.

After waiting for a stick of incense, the refining results came out, fifty-two pineapples plus more than three hundred kumquats, and it was obvious that Sun Yue had won.

Qi Yu sighed heavily when he heard this result. He didn't dare to gamble anymore, this Sun Yue just wanted them to bow their heads, and he could lower his head. Qi Ran asked to bet again, and bet big.

When Sun Yue heard that he was going to gamble, he smiled even more happily. The Qi family gambling arena has been set up for a long time, and the family is rich, so the old man will inevitably miss if he gambles like this. Now, since he wants to gamble big, then he will accompany him.

Lin Man'er has won six games in a row, from the initial two pineapples to the current one hundred and twenty-eight, and he has earned a lot of money. Even Song Shi beside him was surprised, one hundred and twenty-eight pineapples, that was equivalent to a green mang. For the sake of safety, he told Lin Man'er to go back immediately and stop gambling.

Lin Man'er was not a gambler, but in the face of a huge amount of spirit stones, how could he not be tempted. Song Yao also fanned the flames on the side, saying that the cost was only two, and he could leave twenty-eight and take out a hundred to bet. If you lose, you don't lose, you win and you make a big profit.

Lin Man'er thought for a while and looked at Fenglan. Fenglan really hadn't seen what Lu Mang looked like, and she supported Lin Man'er to gamble again. The reason is similar to Song Yao, if you lose, you don't lose, you win and make a lot of money.

Sun Yue saw that this kid followed him to win a green mang, and he was a little unhappy, and said coldly: "It's cheap for you today." Turning to look at the Qi family halfway, he sarcastically said, "People can not have long brains, but if they are blind, what is the point of living." ”

When the monks who had lost were light, they did not dare to be angry or speak at this. Who called his father a three-grade gun fairy?

Qi Yu was very unhappy with Lin Man'er, because what he earned was basically what he had to lose. Of course, so far, the biggest winner is Sun Yue.

Qi Ran had a different opinion from his father, and he was happy to see that Lin Man'er had to gamble again. He admitted that his cultivation was not as good as that of the old man, after all, people ate in Rongcheng.

Soon, the eleventh game began.

After some selection, Qi Ran chose a rough stone that he was not even sure of. The rough stone wasn't very big, only the size of a thumb. According to his thoughts, he is not as good as the old man anyway, so it is better to let everyone guess blindly and gamble on luck.

The old man glanced at the original stone and said to Sun Yue, "This time, I'm not sure. ”

After hearing this, Sun Yue smiled and said, "My son has won ten games in a row, and luck is naturally on my side." ”

The old man was helpless and conducted a survey. He quoted the figure of ninety-eight pineapples. When everyone heard this, they were a little dumbfounded. How could such a small piece of rough stone have ninety-eight pineapples. Sun Yue also didn't believe it, and he warned the old man that if he lost, the consequences would be ...... Hehe.

Qi Ran picked up the original stone and held it in his palm, he tried his best to urge his divine sense, wanting to perceive it more carefully. But I can't help it! This rough stone seemed to have a vigorous aura, and he couldn't judge how much.

Lin Man'er jumped from the previous eighth to the second, second only to Sun Yue. Qi Ran didn't immediately report the number, but walked towards Lin Man'er and handed the original stone into his hands. At the moment of handover, he wanted to transmit his divine sense, but he was afraid that the old man would find out. Therefore, staring at Lin Man'er's eyes, it seemed to tell him that if he could help the Qi family tide over the difficulties, he would be grateful.

Lin Man'er saw this meaning and nodded slightly. He didn't spend a lot of time like the old man and Qi Ran, he just shook it in his ear. After that, he handed it back to Qi Ran and held out a finger.

At this moment, Qi Ran's heart was broken. I thought, big brother, why don't you watch it for a while! The honor and disgrace of my Qi family are all on you. He was complaining, but Sun Yue couldn't wait and urged him to hurry up.

Qi Ran thought about the meaning of Lin Man'er's finger, he first ruled out that it was a green mang, after all, such a small rough stone, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like it. Then, he ruled out the possibility of a pineapple. Then, he ruled out the possibility of ninety-nine and ninety-seven. The reason is very simple, the old man should not have guessed so accurately.

To sum up, there is only one answer: ten pineapples. Qi Ran wiped the sweat from his forehead and breathed a long sigh of relief. I thought, can't you just make a ten gesture? It's easy to misunderstand.

Sun Yue saw that he had not reported the number for a long time, and said proudly: "If you start from here, take three steps and kneel, and knock to Sun's mansion in five steps, today's matter will be over." ”

When Qi Ran heard this, it was a lie not to be annoyed. He glanced at Lin Man'er again, and after getting the affirmation, he reported the number of ten pineapples.

When Lin Man'er heard this, she scratched her bald head and thought, isn't what she said a green mang? Feng Lan had already noticed the transaction between them, and Qi Ran didn't understand the meaning of a finger, but she did! At that moment, he coughed three times in a row.

Qi Ran was shocked, could it be that he guessed wrong? Is that finger ninety-nine and ninety-seven?

Feng Lan pushed the cyan hosta on her head, if this couldn't be understood, then she couldn't help it. Qi Ran looked at it in his eyes, and thought that the push should be one in the middle, that is, ninety-nine.

Fenglan breathed a sigh of relief, although it was not a green mang, it should be able to win. Lin Man'er began to bet, and all the bets were won together.

Sun Yue saw that he didn't bet on himself, rubbed his fingers and sarcastically said: "I thought I had long eyes, but I didn't expect to be blind too." ”

After some careful consideration, the others bet on Sun Yue. Qi You took the rough stone to refine, and his heart was very heavy. If this is lost, the Qi family will collapse even if it is not finished.

After about an hour, the refining results came out, one hundred and one pineapples. When Qi Ran heard this number, he broke out in a cold sweat. I was the first to rule out the correct answer, but fortunately, I was lucky!

Sun Yue was so angry that he overturned the tea table, he stared at the hunchbacked old man, and scolded: "You dare to trick me, go back and collect your son's body!" ”

When the old man heard this, he was immediately angry. He wanted to restrain Sun Yue in exchange for his son, but unfortunately he had already been given a soul destroying charm......

Song Yao closed her eyes. Song Shi shook his head and sighed: "Soul cultivation is rare, it's a pity." ”

However, after Sun Yue finished killing the old man, he walked up to Lin Man'er and threatened: "The road in Pengcheng is easy to enter but not easy to exit. ”

Lin Man'er couldn't get used to him, and replied: "I'll go back by boat." ”

Sun Yue pointed at him and held back a sentence for a long time. "You're good."

After Sun Yue left, Qi Ran made a decision. He returned half of the spirit stones he had won today, and asked the top five losers to choose a rough stone at random. Except, of course, the original stone of the town.

Lin Man'er leaned over and asked, "Can I pick a piece?" ”

Qi Ran was okay, but Qi Yu was a little annoyed, and said angrily: "If I'm not mistaken, Your Excellency won at least two green mangs, right?" ”

When Lin Man'er heard this, she was not happy, and muttered, "I knew I wouldn't help you." ”

Qi Ran hurriedly apologized, and asked Lin Man'er what piece he liked, just pick it. Lin Man'er pointed to the largest piece of rough stone and said, "I want this." ”

Qi Ran smiled awkwardly, thinking, you're really welcome. He ordered someone to carry the original stone over and asked, "Do you need me to help you refine the aura?" ”

Lin Man'er shook his head and said casually: "If you refine it, you still have to harvest one percent." ”

These words made the atmosphere drop to freezing point in an instant. Qi Ran was stunned for a moment, forced himself to smile, and replied, "Don't worry, what you won today is all yours." ”

Lin Man'er still disagreed, it seemed that the original stone was very special. This also made Qi Ran a little puzzled, could it be that the value of that rough stone was very high? He walked to the side of the rough stone, reached out and found that it was very ordinary, and it did not seem to have a reserve of thirty pineapples.

He clapped his hands, returned to Lin Man'er's side, and said tentatively: "Today, you help my Qi family tide over the difficulties, no matter how many spirit stones are opened inside, they are all yours." ”

As soon as Fenglan heard that others had said everything about this, he was afraid that he would be a little unkind if he excused himself. She persuaded Lin Man'er to open it here! Such a large rough stone, even if you take it back, it is too easy to handle.

Lin Man'er's mind was spinning rapidly, and finally he thought of an excellent excuse.

"I actually just want to take it back and make a bed that is comfortable to sleep on." looked at Qi Ran again, "Haven't you tried it too, there is no aura." ”

Qi Ran smiled when he heard this explanation. He has been observing Lin Man'er for so long, which is also in line with his thoughts.

Lin Man'er accepted the original stone and the spirit stone he won, and decided to go back overnight. This time, however, he was in big trouble.
