Chapter 37: The Spirit of the Sands
Qi Chun's words made everyone in the audience talk about it, and the last person stepped forward and asked:
"How do you want to bet?"
Qi Chun said proudly:
"I bet that Lin Xiuyuan can climb four floors, or even five floors. If he can't climb the stairs, then I lose, and if he does, I win, and I win with three thousand... No, 30,000 copper coins are a bet, you dare to see me. ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked, 30,000 Ping An copper coins, what a huge amount, even if Ping An copper coins are not as precious as Tai Sui silver coins, or Kaiyuan money, but as the common currency of the entire Kyushu, 30,000 Ping An copper coins are a family home, and they are also where decades of savings are, and ordinary people can't earn them for several lifetimes.
Even as cultivators like them, there are very few people who can take out such a large amount of copper coins in their hands.
Therefore, as soon as his words came out, everyone looked at each other a little, and no one immediately stepped forward to answer, Qi Chun also saw their embarrassment, and sneered disdainfully:
"What's the matter, no money? They are all cultivators, even if they don't have money, they should have some magic weapons and the like, which can be used as gambling funds, of course, you can also pool money with many people to see me, provided that you dare. ”
At this time, one of them said:
"You said you bet 30,000 yuan, you might come up with so much money? If you can't get it, isn't it empty words? ”
Qi Chun snorted, then groped in his arms for a long time, and finally took out a few bills, and said slowly:
"This is a bill of Kaiyuan Yinhao, each of which can be exchanged for two thousand Ping An copper coins, and I have eight here, which is equivalent to 16,000 Ping An copper coins."
As he spoke, he took out his jade pendant again and said in a deep voice:
"My jade pendant is the Huaguang jade of Taixu Mountain, which is consecrated by the immortals, can nourish the soul, and is worth six thousand peace copper coins."
Saying that, Qi Chun began to grope on his body again, and then found out with some embarrassment that he still had some treasures, which would be gone, and he recalled that along the way, when he saw someone in need, he would generously give some so-called small gifts at will.
Someone with sharp eyes saw the change in Qi Chun's expression, and immediately smiled:
"You only have 22,000 peace money, and you still have 8,000 left, what's the matter, can't you get it?"
Qi Chun's face turned a little red, he couldn't stand being squeezed like this, not to mention that this was still his own game, as soon as he gritted his teeth, he wanted to take out his talisman sword, that thing was a spiritual treasure, no matter what, it was comparable to eight thousand safe copper coins, but I was afraid that it was only a lot more than before.
"Who said he didn't."
A pleasant voice came from the crowd, only to see Yao Zihan and Lu Hua also ran out, the two of them saw Qi Chun's embarrassment, and immediately came to help, the two came to Qi Chun, Yao Zihan patted Qi Chun on the shoulder and said:
"I don't look out of tune on weekdays, but this time I did a good job, and I was impressed."
Then she also took out a note from her bosom and said:
"I also have a bill here, which is also two thousand Ping An money, which is one of the gambling funds, and it is also to buy my Brother Lin can climb four floors."
Yao Zihan took off the piece of warm jade that he had been carrying closely, gritted his teeth and said:
"Although this piece of warm jade is not as good as his, it is worth two thousand, so we will have 26,000 square meters."
As for the remaining four thousand, Yao Zihan suddenly frowned a little, there is only so much she has with her, although their family is also a clan, they are not as rich as the Qi family, and when they came out this time, there is only so much they can bring, but this is still not at ease at home, and a small half of the foundation has been emptied.
Lu Hua was a little embarrassed and said:
"All over my body, there are only 500 peace copper coins, which were given to me by the national teacher, and I am not willing to spend them, so I gave them to you. But it still doesn't seem to be enough, or I take out my magic weapon and mortgage a part, it should be about the same. ”
Qi Chun frowned, he felt that this was his own business, even if he wanted to mortgage, he couldn't use someone else's, not to mention that Lu Hua was not rich in the first place, he was about to open his mouth to refuse, and another person walked out of the crowd, and after slowly coming to the three people, he took out a ring and handed it to Qi Chundao:
"This is the mustard ring, and there are three thousand five hundred peace copper coins in it, which adds up to enough."
The three of them looked at this person, they were all slightly stunned, the person who came didn't like Duan Yunhai, who had too much communication with them, they didn't expect that the other party was so rich, and he took out more than 3,000 Taiping copper coins casually.
Seeing the help sent by everyone, Qi Chun suddenly became a little arrogant, stood high on a rock, and looked at everyone:
"Now that my money has been scraped together, it's up to you to dare to gamble."
Everyone looked at each other, still looking at each other, the other party really made up so much money, but they were set up here, now if they don't gamble, they will lose face and gamble, but no one dares to gamble like this.
Seeing a group of people, you look at me, I look at you, but no one dared to stand up, Qi Chun said disdainfully:
"Sure enough, they are all cowards who can't get on the stage, and when they shout, they are all extremely powerful, and they are really going to play, so they are cowardly. You believe so much that Lin Xiuyuan that guy can't go to the fourth floor, but he doesn't even dare to bet, it can only show that you are weak-hearted, otherwise, why don't you even dare to take the money that is put in front of you. ”
His words finally had a certain effect, and some monks who were still well-equipped came out and said in a cold voice:
"Who said that you wouldn't dare, since you want to send money, we naturally won't stop it, if you don't make a move, you really have to make a hairy boy who hasn't even started his cultivation look down on. Not to mention losing face, I also lost the face of the cultivation world. ”
As he spoke, he first took out a thousand pieces of peace money to make a bet, someone took the lead, and everyone began to move, but after a while, dozens of people stepped forward and took out their family funds to bet with Qi Chun.
Soon, with the help of many monks, you also scraped together about 30,000 peace money.
Xu Yuanyou laughed at this moment:
"Very good, very good, then you might as well make a notarization by Xiaodao, you both took out 30,000 peace money, if anyone wins, you can take all the money here and distribute it yourself, but since you have made a bet, you must not regret it, otherwise, you will be punished by heaven."
His words were plain, but everyone felt that the moment the other party's words fell, there was a slight fluctuation in heaven and earth, which was quite a Taoist proverb.
In the third floor of the Cloud Tower, Lin Xiuyuan was standing in the hall on the third floor, and he didn't know about the gambling contract that was in a lot of excitement from the outside world at the moment, and he was watching the so-called test on this floor with great interest at the moment.
Among the three floors, there is no step leading to the fourth floor, where it should be a step, there is a stone tablet, there is nothing on the tablet, empty, Lin Xiuyuan saw this scene, somewhat frowned, the test of the first two layers, at least it is clearly stated, but this layer is somewhat confusing.
He walked to the stele and looked at it carefully, but he felt that there seemed to be an invisible attraction on the stele, vaguely exuding spiritual power fluctuations, which was by no means ordinary.
After thinking about it carefully, he put his hand on the stele, and the next moment, he only felt a strange light appear on the stele, enveloping him.
Lin Xiuyuan hadn't reacted yet, but the picture in front of him suddenly changed, he was already standing in a land of yellow sand, desolate, as far as the eye could see, there was sand and dust, and the wind in the distance was rolling the sand and dust tornadoes, raging everything around him, even if he was far away, he could clearly perceive it.
He frowned, and couldn't help but think, this is an illusion? Or is it a secret world?
He reached out and grabbed a handful of the sand on the ground, and the rustling feeling that was within reach made him know that he might not be an illusion, but had really entered a secret place.
So what is the test at this level?
Lin Xiuyuan stood in place for a while, then began to walk forward, since it was a secret realm test, he believed that this place would not be so quiet, and what he had to do was to wait quietly for the test to come.
Sure enough, he hadn't gone far yet, the whole world suddenly changed color, and in the land of yellow sand, there was a vibration like the earth dragon turning over, Lin Xiuyuan stood still, and took root under his feet, no matter how strong the power of the vibration was, it didn't make him change in the slightest.
Immediately afterwards, a huge wave of sand rose out of thin air, rising from the ground, covering the sky and covering almost half of the day, and it was extremely powerful.
Lin Xiuyuan's eyes were cold, he did not hold back, nor did he choose to resist with his body like the previous two times, but bent his knees, sank his shoulders, and closed his fists in his abdomen, and then his fists climbed up, turning into a round of sun, the weather rose, and finally when the sand waves came, he handed out a punch, and the entire yellow sand land shook slightly.
The overwhelming sand wave, the first to bear the brunt, was blocked by the power of this punch, and finally was blasted out of a huge hole by a punch, and then the sand wave was split in two, from both ends of his side, surging over, smashing to the ground, setting off a violent wind.
Lin Xiuyuan just glanced at the sand wave behind him slightly, and didn't pay attention to it, but stared at a clearing in front of him, the cold light flashed in his eyes, and his figure swept out, and then he took advantage of the momentum to smash out with another punch.
"Get out!"
The moment his fist fell, he also let out an angry shout, and this punch enveloped the power of ten thousand jun, and a punch fell to the ground, smashing a huge deep pit, and all the sand and dust scattered in all directions.
And there finally appeared a figure, covered in sand, yellow sand flowing and sliding down from his body, and then more sand and dust just spread from the ground, covering his body, and so on and so on.
Spirit of the Sands?
Lin Xiuyuan's heart was slightly surprised.
