Chapter 37: Gambling
Sun Jue didn't want to waste time here, but looking at Yang Xing's excited look, I'm afraid he wouldn't leave easily.
"Then let's bet on it, this is five thousand taels of silver tickets, no matter which one you bet on, I will choose the opposite one, and I can also let you choose first, how about it?"
Sun Jue took out a thick stack of silver tickets from his arms, which immediately frightened many people.
Five thousand taels is enough for a family of three to live without food and clothing for a lifetime, which is an amount that most people can't earn in a lifetime.
Even Chen Ling was stunned, this amount was too big, even if he was the young master of the Chen family, it was impossible for him to squander so much silver.
Originally, Yang Xing was still a little worried, because Sun Jue was really full of words, and took the initiative to let Chen Ling choose first.
But seeing Chen Ling like this now, Yang Xing suddenly put his worries behind him and became happy.
"What? You started the trouble yourself, wouldn't you dare? Or is it that the dignified young master of the Chen family can't take out five thousand taels of silver? ”
Chen Ling looked at Yang Xing's smug appearance, as well as the many contemptuous glances from the people around him, and gritted his teeth: "Isn't it just five thousand taels, I'll follow!" ”
He untied a crystal clear jade pendant from his neck: "This jade pendant is worth 8,000 taels, it is a gift from my father for the first birthday, and it is worth 5,000 taels of silver!" ”
Everyone's eyes were attracted by the jade pendant in Chen Ling's hand, just looking at the appearance, it was indeed very good-looking.
"You said it's worth eight thousand taels, it's eight thousand taels? I also said that my shoes were worth 10,000 taels. ”
Yang Xing pointed to the dirty cloth boots on his feet and smiled.
"You...... Wang Lao Liu, come and see if it's worth it! ”
Chen Ling shouted loudly.
Wang Lao Liu hurriedly ran over.
This cockfighting ground is actually no different from the gambling house, but the gambling items are different.
Therefore, there is naturally no shortage of the kind that loses all the money and wants to turn the tables.
As the steward of this place, Wang Lao Liu naturally practiced eyesight beyond ordinary people.
Ordinary things, as long as he glances at them, he can judge the approximate value.
Carefully took the jade pendant from Chen Ling's hand, Wang Laoliu held it in one hand, observed it carefully, and stroked the two whiskers on his lips with the other hand.
"This piece of jade pendant has good craftsmanship, the whole body is green, there is no trace of flaws, and it is very transparent, eight thousand taels is not necessarily, but five thousand taels is still okay."
If it is an ordinary time, even if he gets this jade pendant, Wang Lao Liu will have to push down the price hard.
But this is the Chen family's thing, so he doesn't dare to talk nonsense.
Chen Ling snatched the jade pendant back from Wang Laoliu's hand, and squinted at Yang Xing: "Did you hear that?" It's worth at least five thousand taels, which is something that you can't afford for a lifetime with mud legs. ”
"You ......"
Sun Jue put his hand on the shoulder of the angry Yang Xing, looked at Chen Ling and smiled: "I still have something to do, I'm in a hurry, I don't have time to accompany you here, it's better to be faster, don't grind like a girl." ”
"Since you are in a hurry to send me money, then I will naturally not be polite!"
Chen Ling glanced at the cockfighting ring, "Wang Lao Liu, whose turn is it next?" ”
"It's the Great General against the Martial Saint!"
"Okay, hurry up and arrange it, I choose Martial Saint, you have no opinion, right?"
Chen Ling has been messing around here these days because of the chicken king competition, so he naturally knows all about these cockfights.
And the cockfight named "Martial Saint" is very fierce and is one of the favorites to win the championship, and in terms of performance, it is half a step stronger than the general.
Sun Jue ignored Yang Xing's tugging on his sleeve and nodded casually: "I don't have any opinions, bring the general to me to see." ”
"This martial saint is stronger than the general, how can you agree? Do you want to give Chen Ling this thing money? ”
Yang Xing lowered his voice and complained in Sun Jue's ear.
He knows these cockfights better than Chen Ling, and in this round of duels, the "Great General" basically has no hope.
"Don't be impatient, since I dare to come down, I naturally have my confidence."
Sun Jue smiled, and then took the cockfighting handed over by the owner of the "Great General".
He gently brushed the's feet, and a trace of the qi was temporarily stored in it.
If it is an ordinary person, even a martial artist who has escaped the reincarnation realm, it is difficult to do this.
Their anger will only kill the fighting, but Sun Jue is different.
His Fuhu Arhat Fist and Dragon Yin Iron Cloth Shirt are already in the realm of perfection, not only comprehending the true meaning, but also controlling the Gang Qi to reach the realm of severity, rigidity and softness.
As long as he temporarily controlled these Gang Qi with his true intentions, he could seal the Gang Qi on its feet without harming the fighting.
When the right time is right, the suppression of true intentions can be released, and they can cause damage in one fell swoop.
"Well, it's a good raiser, and if I win the game, I'll definitely get a reward."
The owner of the "Great General" smiled a little reluctantly, but still said, "Thank you, Young Master Sun." ”
Soon, the race began.
The two fighting cocks were baptized by their own masters, put them in the cockfighting ring, and the duel began.
After the initial temptation, the "Great General" unsurprisingly fell behind.
Chen Ling grinned, and glanced at Sun Jue from time to time, wanting to see some negative emotions on Sun Jue's face.
But he was disappointed, Sun Jue always had a smile on the corner of his mouth, as if it was not the "general" who fell into the disadvantage, but the "martial saint".
[Let's see if you can laugh later!] 】
Yang Xing looked at the performance of the "general" in the cockfighting arena and was very disappointed.
"Sun Jue, didn't you say that you have confidence? The generals are about to lose! ”
Sun Jue said indifferently: "Don't worry. ”
In the excited shouts of most of the people, the "Great General" kept retreating, and then suddenly jumped up and gave the "Martial Saint" a paw.
Suddenly, the blood of the "Martial Saint" soared wildly and fell to the ground staggeringly.
The shouting stopped abruptly, and everyone felt as if they had been choked by the neck.
The "Great General" won so weirdly that an idea popped up in everyone's hearts, did Sun Jue use any means?
Sun Jue looked at Chen Ling, who was standing in a daze, and said lightly: "You lose, throw the jade pendant over." ”
"How is that possible? How could a Martial Saint possibly lose? ”
Chen Ling was reluctant to accept the fact that "you must have used some shady means, right?" ”
"The cockfights are checked by both parties before they come on the field, do you want to repay the debt?"
Sun Jue's body moved, and one hand was under Chen Ling's cover.
Suddenly, Chen Ling felt that he had nowhere to escape, and stood in place in a daze and was grabbed by Sun Jue's shoulder.
A burst of qi silently entered Chen Ling's body, and at the same time, Sun Jue's hand was forced, and Chen Ling immediately felt pain.
"I'll give, can't I admit defeat?"
After getting the jade pendant, Sun Jue first threw a silver ingot to the owner of the "general", and then beckoned to Yang Xing: "Let's go, I'll have a treat." ”
"Okay!"
Yang Xing squeezed his eyebrows at Chen Ling, and then triumphantly followed Sun Jue out.
