Volume 1 The Maison Chapter 43 "The Evil Spirit"
Huacang City, Yi Magnolia Fragrance Garden, Big Arena!
"Ladies and gentlemen, after the game just now, everyone's interest must have been aroused, tell me, do you want to continue?" A young man stood on the back of an eagle-like demon beast, shuttled in the air, and shouted enthusiastically to the audience sitting around!
"Yes!"
The neat and excited shouts reverberated in this circular field, constantly amplifying!
"Let's get started!"
"That's a lot of nonsense!"
Still, there were some impatient voices.
"Okay, but before the game starts, let me see who you're rooting for!" The young man slowly swept across the audience, quite excited.
"Barbarian King! Barbarian King! Barbarian King! ……”
The shouts rang out in unison, and everyone's eyes converged on the field. The two people on the field were looking at each other, one was tall and strong, it was the barbarian king whom the audience called him, and the other was Mu Jingxi, who was only half of the body of the barbarian king!
An hour ago.
Mu Jingxi's master and apprentice slowly came to the seventh floor, and before they could get out of the passage, they heard the deafening cheers - indifferent and crazy cheers!
"Are you going to watch or go to war?" At the counter in the hall, seeing the strange dress and looking around of the master and apprentice, a man asked.
"Blind your dog's eye!" A middle-aged man with the appearance of a consul scolded. Naturally, there are guests who come to this hall, and there are many people like Mu Jingxi's master and apprentice who are unwilling to reveal their identities.
After scolding the man, the middle-aged man hurriedly looked at the end of the Ming Dynasty and said with a smile on his face: "My lord, the subordinates under my hands can't speak, and I still look at Haihan......"
Yutai Ming Mo waved his hand and motioned for Mu Jingxi to hand the two jade plates to the middle-aged man.
After checking the jade plate, the middle-aged man hurriedly and respectfully handed the jade card to Mu Jingxi, and then motioned to a waitress: "Lead the way for the two guests." ”
Seeing that there was no blame at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief, respectfully took the jade card, waited for the jade card to be checked, and then handed the jade card to Mu Jingxi.
Immediately, the middle-aged man motioned to a female attendant to lead the way for Mu Jingxi and the others.
"The big arena is divided into seven districts, and there are five arenas......," the waitress introduced.
It turned out that this arena was not a giant arena imagined by Mu Jingxi, but was divided into seven areas, of which the northern one was the gambling area, which not only included the largest casino in the entire manor, but also the place to deal with the betting situation of the audience in the arena.
The West Second District is the concentration of various entertainment facilities, and the remaining Fifth District is the core of the seventh layer - Huacang Arena!
Of these arenas, the four outer ones are held in the lower stages, with sixteen matches per day, the last of which is the finale.
The nine games held on the middle stadium were the most spectacular in the entire arena.
Along the way, the waitress kept talking with Mu Jingxi's master and apprentice.
Led by the waitress, the master and apprentice arrived at an office outside the arena.
"Good fight!"
"Shoot him!"
"Grandma's, beat you to death!"
……
Bursts of noise kept coming to my ears.
"Two, there are three seats in this room, I don't know ......," the waiter in the office asked.
"Two medium seats." The money bag was placed on the case, and the end of the Ming Dynasty said.
Respectfully took the money bag, and the waiter directly took two hundred taels of silver from it, and then handed the brand to the end of the Ming Dynasty, and then asked, "I wonder if Mr. is interested in betting." ”
"Oh?" At the end of the Ming Dynasty, it seems to be very interesting.
"The concubine is presumptuous, this is the first time you have come, right?" The waitress asked coquettishly.
Hearing this, Tantai and Mu Jingxi glanced at each other at the end of the Ming Dynasty and did not answer.
Seeing this, the waitress immediately began to "sell", and said delicately: "The two of you don't know, our big arena is very different from other places, it's not just as simple as watching the game, but more importantly, every game here can be bet......"
"Got it, let's talk about the rules." Yutai Ming Mo interrupted.
Seeing this, the waitress immediately changed her mind and introduced the rules to the two in detail.
It turned out that the gambling game here was huge, and each guest had to pay at least 5,000 taels of silver to participate. In addition, the only bets used here are chips redeemed through Otomagnolia Fragrance Garden. As for the odds, it depends on the specific circumstances of each game.
Generally understanding the rules, Yutai Mingmo smiled, then put his hand into his sleeve, took out a wooden box the size of a foot from the storage spirit treasure, handed it to the waiter in the office, and said, "Look at the price of this thing." ”
Hearing this, the waiter respectfully took the wooden box and opened it gently, and at the moment of opening the wooden box, the waiter's originally plain eyes suddenly showed a hint of joy.
Mu Jingxi looked curiously, and saw that there was a red agate heart lamp in the box! Seeing this thing, Mu Jingxi knew that this must be made of agate stone in the stone cave of the Henggong Mountains at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and it was a waste of talent if he didn't do the gem business at the end of the Ming Dynasty!
"This ...... This is...... Southern Red Agate!"
The waiter lost his voice slightly, and then hurriedly picked up the agate heart lamp and looked at it. I saw that this thing is about the size of a tea can, there are cloud patterns attached to it, the dragon ornament is accompanied by the period, a lamp like a tea bowl is in the middle, very exquisite, the waiter stroked for a moment, muttered to himself: "Glutinous, fine, moist, even, good!" Good! It's actually the best brocade red in the south......"
After a little admiration, the waiter also retracted his mind, after all, he was on an errand in this Yi Mulan Fragrance Garden, and he had seen a lot, so he was always a little determined.
"Sir, this thing is too expensive, so let's give you an estimate, 100,000 taels, do you think it's appropriate?" The waiter smiled tentatively.
Hearing this, Mu Jingxi's jaw widened, he was not surprised by the price of this agate, but surprised by the eyes of the end of the Ming Dynasty: This bastard's eyes are too poisonous!
Nodding, Yutai did not speak. Seeing this, the waiter immediately put away the agate heart lamp and recorded it in the registration book: "A red jade heart lamp is worth 100,000 taels of silver." ”
After the record was completed, the waiter hurriedly handed a topaz jade jue to each of them to Shantai and Mu Jingxi, and said: "There are 50,000 taels of silver in each of this jade jue, and after the two of you have fun, don't forget to come and retrieve the red jade heart lamp." ”
Yutai Mingmo took it with a smile, this waiter can speak, if the money is lost, what will he redeem it?
Following the waitress into the arena, what caught his eye was a crowd of people, bustling and scolding, and a few curses came from his ears, Mu Jingxi knew that this must have just ended a competition. Judging from the fact that this is not yet the largest arena, it is so lively, and business here is not without prosperity.
Coming to the seat, Mu Jingxi fixed his eyes, the second-class seats here are not as crowded as below, there is still a distance between the guests' seats, the seats are pear wood carvings, the workmanship is very exquisite, there is a case in front of the seats, and there is a basin-sized diamond mirror embedded in the case, which is intended to be used for odds analysis and betting.
There are several buttons on each side of the case, the left button is written with zero to eleven numbers, and the right side is hundred, thousand, ten thousand, two, yes or no, which seems to be used for betting. Look at the "10,000" worn out of these buttons the most, which shows the madness of gambling here!
The master and apprentice sat down and asked the maid again, and the maid's answers all confirmed what Mu Jingxi had thought before.
"What if there is a draw?" Ming Mo asked Yutai.
"Look at what you said, we only have a win or a loss in this game, so there will be a draw?" When the maid heard this, she covered her mouth and said coquettishly, and her posture between chuckles was quite charming.
Yutai Ming Mo smiled, he knew that there was no meaning of a draw, that is, no matter whether he won or lost, he would not stop the game.
"Then I don't know how much the dealer will take?" Yutai asked again.
"Sir, unlike other casinos here, the commission is not very high, only one percent of the gambling interest, and no matter how much money you have when you leave, you will not take any more commission." The waitress said delicately.
Hearing this, Mu Jingxi nodded, many casinos have the habit of taking a cut after the gamblers leave, this Yi Mulan Xiangyuan is not greedy for that small profit, after all, just that little commission is a huge profit under the small amount of money!
gave a reward money, sent the waitress away, the master and apprentice according to what they said, embedded the jade jue in a groove on the case, and then, from the jade jue's place a wave of fluctuations, the case on the rhombic mirror like the water surface ripples, and then appeared several series of words, the principal column wrote "50,000 taels".
Smacked his lips and admired, this seat is really luxurious everywhere, but after thinking about it, this seat is a hundred taels of silver, and Mu Jingxi feels that he doesn't enjoy it so much.
After taking a look at Mu Jingxi's appearance, Yutai Mingmo smiled and said: "This table case should be specially made, as long as the spiritual power is injected, it will work on its own, and the jade jue they gave us is a jade specially made by the warlock that can store spiritual power, and the embedded table will drive the table to run, which seems magical, but it is actually nothing remarkable." ”
"Oh, this jade jue is actually a spiritual treasure?" Mu Jingxi said in surprise.
"It's just some gadgets, if it's a spirit treasure, then you look down on the warlock too much." Yutai Mingmo said with a smile.
Hearing this, Mu Jingxi nodded, not to mention that this jade jue is actually nothing too surprising, that is, from a business point of view, if just a chip has to be made with a spirit treasure, the cost is too great.
However, Mu Jingxi was still a little unhappy with the style of the master in the late Ming Dynasty, and said in the ear of the late Ming Dynasty: "Master, I admire you more and more now!"
Hearing this, Tantai Mingmo hurriedly waved his hand, very modest, but the corners of his mouth still showed joy.
"You said that there are so many agate, and you have taken a fancy to the most valuable ones at a glance! You're not going to sell your jewelry, you're wasting your talent!" Mu Jingxi said again.
Hearing this, Yutai Mingmo's face sank, and he said, "Get out!"
Seeing this, Mu Jingxi said with a hippie smile: "Alas, I'm praising you!" Tell me, Maxima is common, but Bole is not, if I don't find out that you are greedy for money...... Oh no, the talent of Jianbao, don't you want to say 'there is no horse in the world'!"
"Eh, I said you're looking for a beating?"
……
Just when the master and apprentice were fighting, the venue suddenly boiled, and I saw a man stepping on an eagle-like demon beast and coming by.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I've been waiting for a long time, I wonder if you had a good time in the last game? If you're not having fun, don't worry, please look at the mirror!"
Hearing this, Mu Jingxi hurriedly looked at the rhombic mirror on the case, only to see that several columns of words appeared above the mirror at this time, according to the introduction on the mirror, the next thing to be played is a game between a fighting slave and a racer, the code names of the two sides are night ghosts and cross bees respectively, the odds are one to one and five to one, from the odds, the dealer can be said to be extremely confident in the fighting slave. In addition, there is other information about the two of them recorded on the mirror.
"Ladies and gentlemen, allow me now to introduce the first player of this game, the evil ghost with a current record of seventeen wins and three losses, the night ghost!"
"Woo!"
In the midst of cheers, an iron door on the left side of the arena slowly opened, and with the sound of iron chains sliding from inside the door, a tall strong man of nearly two people slowly walked out under the pressure of the spears of several manor guards. The man wore an iron mask, his face could not be seen clearly, and his naked upper body, with iron chains as thick as the mouth of a bowl and scars the size of reed leaves, were tightly entangled in the muscles that were like stones. The visually striking mountain-like figure, combined with the bloody gaze under the mask, and the pitch-black, bottomless iron gate, were like demons poking out of hell.
"Oh my God......!"
Seeing this scene, Mu Jingxi's mouth opened wide in shock.
"Hehe, everyone, this is the ghost of the night, I guess everyone is also interested in the other person? Now let's have another of our players with a record of 10 wins and 6 losses - Cross Hornet!"
Driven by the host, everyone hurriedly looked at the other side of the arena, and as the iron door opened, a man about thirty years old slowly walked out, and then there was a boo on the field. The man was tall and athletic, but compared to the mountain-like size of the night ghost on the other side, it really wasn't enough to look at.
The man didn't mind the booing around him, and waved the spear in his hand to himself, which was quite striking, with a spear tip of two feet and only two fingers wide, and it looked extremely slender, like a long sword. The most peculiar thing is that there are two horizontal blades more than a foot long where the tip of the spear is connected to the handle, and the whole spear is like a cross, no wonder he is called a cross bee.
"Hehe, everyone, now that the two players have come to the stage, please bet." The host drove the eagle and skimmed the sky.
Hearing this, everyone is calculating, not surprisingly, many people are inclined to the night ghost, of course, there is no shortage of veterans here, of course, they know that strength can not be judged by appearance.
"Who do you think will win?" Ming Mo asked Yutai.
"Well, I don't think you can easily draw conclusions, after all, strength can be determined not only by appearance, but I am inclined to ...... that night ghost will win" Mu Jingxi replied, and then lowered his head and thought about it, intuitively, that night ghost is more powerful, judging from the information on the mirror, both are in the early stage of the Jiuyao Realm, and there is no intuitive difference. Thinking of this, Mu Jingxi looked at the records and odds of the two, and from these two data, it seemed that the night ghost was stronger.
"I'll bet on this night ghost, after all, his odds are higher, and the dealer has such confidence in him, it shouldn't be for no reason." Mu Jingxi said.
"Then I'll bet on the cross bee." The end of the Ming Dynasty.
Immediately, the master and apprentice each placed five thousand taels on the night ghost and the cross bee.
Not long after the two of them placed their bets, the Linghua Realm on the case glowed red, which was a signal that the bet was about to be introduced. After a moment of flashing red light, the mirror calmed down. At the same time, the host swept again.
"Haha, since everyone has placed bets, then I don't miss the time, I announce, the game begins!"
With the abbot falling, several guards on the field removed the shackles for the night ghost, placed a three-foot square plate axe in front of and behind him, and immediately withdrew into the iron gate.
Twisting his wrist, the dou slave bent down and reached out, lifted the staggering size of the long-handled plate axe with one hand, and then stepped forward, his back tensed, and with one hand, he howled like thunder, and the giant axe slammed into the ground! As the dust of the two feet around it floated, the stone bricks on the ground burst with a sound! A round of spiritual power axes more than a foot wide and more than a foot long flew out from the top of the plate axe, heading straight for the cross bee in the distance!
