I thought that the first one to come to the divination would be the female lord of the Void Dao, but I didn't expect to be preempted by a snake-transformed dragon. Sensing a strange force directed at Zhao Qing in the dark, Jin Carp's mind moved slightly, and he spit out a huge bubble and intercepted it.

In the next moment, this bubble, which was only visible in Zhao Qing's eyes, began to shrink rapidly, and there were thousands of colorful rays of light inside that were constantly refracted, as if weaving incomparably complex information, inducing the other party to go deeper step by step, and feeding back to the Ice Claw Spirit who launched the Divination Secret Technique.

"Not good!" Although there was only a distance of 100 zhang, the dragon spirit beside Chang Yueyang did not notice the heavy trap set by the golden carp at all, but had a feeling that the more divination became, the smoother his mind became, as if he had re-experienced the strength of his physical body.

As a result, if it was not careful, it found that for some reason, it had missed the control of the energy in the Dragon Ball, and in an instant, the entire bead shone brightly, leaking out a bit of power, and suddenly stirred up a huge amount of heaven and earth aura, becoming the most eye-catching existence in the hall.

And because he was defenseless against the dragon spirit, Chang Yueyang, who was closest to him, was immediately attacked by this force, and in the blink of an eye, before everyone could see him, his face did not show a look of horror, and he was frozen into a solid ice sculpture by the extremely cold air, shook it a few times, and fell to the ground.

Just as the dragon spirit tried to cast a spell to thaw it, Shen Ge Forget, who had been observing this scene from a distance, snorted coldly, which suddenly stimulated the gradually silent qi and blood of the people in the ice sculpture, causing it to release a large amount of heat, blasting the covered ice into pieces, but because of this, he was exhausted and weakened, and he had no vitality in a short period of time.

Not to mention this public foolish loser, in fact, the spells of the wizards on the field are not perfect every time:

Some people used the technique of shifting and transposing, and wanted to use the rare treasures in their hands to replace the fungus in the jade, but the result was that the five fingers disappeared, and some people arranged the divination array, and the fog suddenly rose in the middle, splitting the thunder, and all the materials were destroyed.

Glancing at these failures, Jin Carp spit out a few new bubbles, intercepting the divination of the dragon spirit reinvigorating and pointing to others, while looking at Zhao Qing, who didn't seem to have any high-end operations, thought for a moment, and leaned closer to speak:

"This kind of gambling involving divination can be said to be what Benyu is best at, and it is easy to beat these little guys. Perhaps, you need my help? ”

"No need." As if something had been arranged, Zhao Qing began to walk towards the square seat in the other corner, and at the same time sent a message to refuse.

For her, in addition to Chang Yueyang and Gu Fucheng, who are guarded by the power of the "Six Qi" level, other wizards from the local Shouling family, although they have a good inheritance, their equipment is quite ordinary, and they can't stop her from quietly exerting her "other heart power".

With an almost transparent "vision", even if Zhao Qing herself doesn't know anything about divination and prayer, she can be said to be sure of victory, not to mention that she is actually quite proficient and has come up with another ingenious trick.

……

About half an hour later, the original translucent, giving people room to observe the jade square seat, into the state of internal and external sealing, the first round of gambling, has entered the stage of opening and counting one by one, some people are happy, some people are worried.

It was probably time for the meal, and the people who were staying in the extended space of the temple saw a number of side doors appear on the wall in the distance, and the doors opened, and several young women carrying bamboo baskets and wooden boxes walked in, and placed the food contained in them in front of their husbands.

As locals, all over the age of 30, most of the wizards on the field have already married and had children, and whenever they rotate in the Ming Hall, their wives will bring prepared meals on time as a sign of care.

Although the same surname is not married, and people with foreign surnames are strictly prohibited from entering the Yuling Park, but if the wife and concubine are pregnant and have children, they can also be regarded as half a surname and are allowed to move freely in the big array.

The women were a little surprised to see a few unfamiliar faces in the hall, but they quickly guessed their identities and showed a cordial and enthusiastic attitude. Several of the women walked up to Zhao Qing and handed her a few pastries with a smile.

"These pieces of 'green jade cake' are a little bit of our heart, please be sure to accept them." One woman enthusiastically explained, her voice soft as a spring breeze: "These pastries are made of green jade flowers unique to Wanwei Mountain, supplemented by several kinds of spiritual herbs and grains, which can supplement some spiritual consumption. ”

Smiling and nodding to a few women, Zhao Qing, who had just won a lot, did not refuse, but took a piece of pastry and took a bite gently. Suddenly, a soft and glutinous taste accompanied by a faint aura spread in the mouth, and the aroma was overflowing, making people intoxicated.

He also got a few pieces of pastry, and put them on the table, and when the women left through the side door, his majestic eyes swept over the people with different expressions, and said indifferently: "Next, it's time for the Ding Jade to uncover." Does anyone else want to increase their bets? ”

Chang Yueyang, who was manipulated by the golden carp every time the divination results were pressed all the time, but lost the essence in the first few times of the first round, couldn't help but take two steps closer to the Ding jade gui when he heard the words, his eyes were faintly red, and he hesitated slightly, and finally relented and said loudly:

"I'm going to exchange for new chips, and I'm going to press the bacteria in here, and I've died half an hour ago!"

"And what about the treasures you used to redeem?" He calmly looked at the other party who had only swords and orbs left on his body except for his robes, and asked:

"The divine soldier that symbolizes the identity of the next generation of the Chang clan, the dragon ball that stores the soul of an ice mantis, is indeed extremely valuable. However, it seems that the ownership of both of them has not officially fallen into your hands yet! ”

"I can make a note and pledge it with my family's assets!" Having lost almost half of his personal net worth, Chang Yueyang really couldn't accept such a huge loss, and couldn't help but say: "If I can bet on a hundred pairs of white bi and ten thousand gold yi, how many coix can I get in exchange?" ”

"I can't change a single one." Looking at this red-eyed gambler coldly, he glanced at Zhao Qing nearby, suddenly laughed, and refused:

"This kind of IOU notes and the like, when the time comes, it will take a year or two to pull and pull. I'm an old man who is dying, and I don't have time to spend time with young people. ”

"What about 100 pairs of Lingxi Treasure Armor, 1,000 eight-foot ivory roots, and 200 carts of cinnamon fragrant wood?" Seeing that the opportunity to turn the tables in the end was fleeting, Chang Yueyang was ruthless and added:

"These goods loaded in giant ships and sold overseas are parked in the port area southeast of Fuyangli, and the theoretical price can reach 40,000 or 50,000 gold, plus jade and gold, that is 60,000 or 70,000 gold! And it can be delivered in a short time! ”

"No matter what, it's a shadowless thing now." Shen Ge looked at his anxious appearance, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth:

"Moreover, I am not an ocean-going merchant who deals with your Chang family, everything is calculated by price. Treasures that don't need them, in my opinion, are just a pile of scrap. I want to redeem the coix chips I have on hand unless I get something that will interest me. ”

Holding the ice mantis beads in his hand that had caused him to fall into such a situation, he hesitated for a moment in choosing to give up and forcibly mortgaging it, Chang Yueyang seemed to have received some reminder, and did not argue with the other party who deliberately blocked his path, but turned to look at the others on the field.

Looking around, he took a deep breath, looked back at the expressionless Shen Ge Wang, and said in a deep voice: "If I can exchange enough chips, I will definitely donate the property I just mentioned in the name of the Shen Ge clan to help the lonely, widowed, and sick people in the Yue Kingdom." ”

Before people die, they usually pay special attention to the reputation behind them, in Chang Yueyang's opinion, Shen Ge Forget should be no exception, as far as he is concerned, he doesn't care about the loss of sixty or seventy thousand gold, but he is worried that such a bad performance will be used by the enemies in the family.

And through the way of relieving orphans and widows, he helped the Ge clan to become famous, no matter whether he lost or lost in the next gambling fight, after all, he also carried out righteous deeds, and he stood on the commanding heights, and it was difficult to be blamed by others.

However, in the next moment, the opposite person sneered, "Do you think your generosity can move me?" It's just your own show! Sincere acts of kindness are never something to be seen by others, let alone something to be traded. ”

"Did you know that since I set up this gamble twelve years ago, I will donate the money that everyone loses, so that when the villagers of the right age go out to find a match, I will help distribute it to the poor and poor people in need?"

Will they be donated? Hearing this, Zhao Qing, who had already learned that Chang Yueyang had provoked trouble and was countered, was also a little surprised, and vaguely sensed that what Shen Ge had said was indeed the truth, although the other party had been staying in the Yu Temple, he had also managed to do a lot of good deeds.

"Don't go on! Those who are not sincere in their words will be insincere in their hearts, ignorant of the right way, and have no way forward? I have recorded your performance in this gamble, and I will send it to the seven elders of the Chang clan to see if they are still willing to make you the next head of the family. ”

gave the other party who secretly made an off-board move, and had several opportunities to suspend the raise, but he got such a result, and he was also a little sorry, and with a wave of his hand, seven verdant birds flew out of the window, and at the same time, Chang Yueyang, who was sealed and cultivated, was thrown out of the Mingtang area, and landed directly in the middle of a mud pond, covered with filth.

After tasting the wine casually, he filled it again, seemed to be in a much better mood, and spoke with great interest:

"Over the years, the divination of the current information of Muwang Baocheng by the major forces has become more and more accurate, if there is no accident, this time it should appear in a few months in the depths of the mountains in the northwest of our Yue Kingdom in the northwest of the Chao Dayi."

According to legend, the luminous cup that the Queen Mother of the West gave to King Mu was hidden in this mysterious treasure city. I don't know, this expedition, will anyone be able to take it out and use it to compete with the Shaokang Mountain in my hand to see which wine is better? ”

Although he only seemed to want to see the world-famous peerless wine vessels, in Zhao Qing's induction, he clearly revealed the meaning of loss and sadness, as well as the longing for the colorful scenery of the outside world.

Yu Yu Dayi? It should be the later Yuqian County. Therefore, the current location of this Mu Wang Baocheng is in the floating jade mountains? Hearing this, Zhao Qing thought in his heart.

It was at this time that Shi Yiguang, who had won a lot of bets according to Zhao Qing before, but had not yet called this time, seemed to have finally made up his mind, and suddenly took out a silk cloth scroll from his back, and slowly unfolded it, only to see four different patterns painted on it.

She sucked a piece of spiritual jade in the palms of her hands, and her fingertips carried the silk cloth scroll, and her eyes flashed with bright light. The originally dull picture scroll was injected with aura in Baibi, and the color flowed, as if it had been given life.

The scenery of the four seasons, spring flowers and autumn moons, summer rain and winter snow, each painting seems to tell a moving story. In the painting, the fungus grows in it, experiencing the cycle of life and blooming with a different kind of brilliance.

They grow in the picture scroll, gradually growing from immature spores to flourishing fungi, and after the baptism of the four seasons, they seem to become more resilient and long-lived, and seem to have surpassed the limits of life itself.

Those who can only survive one day in reality have experienced the change of spring, summer, autumn and winter in the picture scroll, and have become a "long-lived" species that can go through four seasons.

Seeing this scene, Shi Yiguang's eyes revealed an indescribable tenderness and pity, as if watching a group of small lives bloom in her hands.

"What I'm painting is a tiny creature like a fungus."

She gently stroked the scroll and whispered: "In this scroll, you are no longer small fungi dying in the twilight of life, but can go through the wind and rain, witness the cycle of the four seasons, and can even become a symbol of 'longevity' and live forever in the world." ”

Looking up at the inexplicable look in front of him, Shi Yiguang said in a soft but firm tone: "Therefore, all the chips I have in hand will be able to live for many years. ”

"Oh?" It didn't seem to be expected that the other party would show such a picture, so he smiled leisurely and replied: "Although in the picture scroll you painted, the Chao Fungi were immortal, but for the Chao Fungi in this Ding Jade Pavilion, this is still not true. ”

"Therefore, by your actions, you have really lost the chips that could have been exchanged for nearly two glasses of 'holy wine'." Directly opened the lid of the Ding jade and saw that the fungus inside was on the verge of death, he sighed with some regret:

"However, I like your picture of the four seasons with the fungus very much, so I plan to exchange four three-thousand-year-old five-color Ganoderma lucidum, I wonder if you can cut your love, Miss Shi?"

……

Just as Zhao Qing and the others were settling the bets and odds, and were about to enter the betting stage of the E jade, an inconspicuous hill of hundreds of zhang two or three hundred miles away started a significant meeting of the four at the same time.

"Is this owl skin you want to recommend really reliable?" Glancing at the young man in white who was sitting on the top of the mountain and looking at the thousands of acres of paddy fields in the Fuzhong Pond on the east side, Tian Qian looked at the serious expression of Yue Xiangguo Fan Li in front of him, and couldn't help asking.

"What our Tian clan needs now is a wise and cautious advisor, preferably experienced in the actual test of political struggle, and what you recommend is such a hairless young man? If it weren't for Sun Di's guarantee, I thought you were joking? ”

"As the third person of the Qi Guotian clan, you haven't seen a truly outstanding genius, like Sun Changqing, the father of Sun Di, is an example, how can you make a judgment like this because a person is young?" Fan Li smiled slightly and retorted:

"The various questions you raised just now, Zipi is separated by a mountain, and they are all flawless enough to answer questions and answers, fair and just, compared to Sun Di, it is still better, but when you really see his face, it is really unreasonable to look down on the other party for such a reason."

"No wonder, Tian Qiang, you are much older, Tian Chang is much older, but the cultivation realm is stabilized by your second brother, it turns out that there are too many hidden prejudices in your heart, and all kinds of suffocation derived from Taoism have been born."
