One, two, three.

A strange thing happened on the second day after Li Wei and Yuan Cheng lived in the town, the people who were looking at their door would leave at a certain time, and muttered: "It's time, it's time!" ”

But those who leave soon will come back again and continue to look at Li Wei and Yuan Cheng in the house.

It is not surprising that the inhabitants of some small places will be disgusted with strangers, but the strange thing is that it is not normal for several people who are always the same to go back and forth.

Seems like a stalker?

Where will they go when they leave at the point?

Is it really just the neighbors around who are worried about outsiders?

Li Wei didn't care about the small movements of these people, in his eyes, people who couldn't even control their qi and blood well were not worthy of his attention at all.

But Yuan Cheng didn't think so, he thought that these people were probably enemies, and an indescribable feeling lingered in his heart, and he decided to secretly follow behind to take a look.

It's too easy for a virtual warrior to track down someone who hasn't practiced martial arts.

A small town, the scope is not large, at most hundreds of households live, Li Wei does not stop Yuan Cheng, nor does he follow, if there is an accident such as a trap, it is impossible for Yuan Cheng to not even make a voice for help, so he stayed in the house.

But an hour passed, two hours passed, and Yuan Cheng hadn't come back yet, just when Li Wei couldn't sit still and was about to go out to look for it, Yuan Cheng climbed over the wall and entered the courtyard.

"Why have you been going for so long??"

"I followed a guy to the north of town and found two amazing shops!"

"Oh? What a magic method? ”

"One is a pawnshop, the other is a grocery store!"

"What's so magical about this?"

"The magic is the magic, the things that can be made in the pawnshop are beyond your imagination, and the grocery store sells things beyond your imagination!"

"Oh? What can it be? It's nothing more than gold and silver, and if you don't want some old clothes and shoes, what else can you do? ”

"Hours!"

"What?!"

Li Wei's eyes widened, thinking that Yuan Cheng was joking, and hurriedly said, "Peerless Sword outside the Peerless City!" ”

"Biluo Knife in Biluotan, what are you doing here?"

Li Wei laughed, scratched his head and said, "I'm afraid that you are the enemy and crazy!" ”

"Even enemies won't make such jokes with you, aren't they exposing themselves?"

"Okay, don't be angry, what did you just say at that time??"

"A lot of the residents here are at that time, and they don't know what the store can do to suck away these people's time!"

Li Wei listened even more strangely: "But what did they change for time?" Money? Are all the people here so poor? ”

"Exchange Yuan Bead!"

"What is Yuanzhu? A gemstone? ”

"No, it's like gold and silver, you can buy things!"

"Cut...... It's not poor yet! ”

"That's what's weird about another shop!"

"How can it be strange, can this small place still sell treasures?"

"An item more magical than a Noble Phantasm!"

"What!?"

"Treasures need void warriors to use, ordinary people can't manipulate them, some powerful treasures can't even control some void warriors, and they need people with extremely strong qi and blood to suppress them! But the things sold in that grocery store can be used by even ordinary people, and the ability display can be seen by any ordinary person! ”

"What!?"

Such a thing is unheard of, which makes Li Wei, who has always only been interested in martial arts, curious.

"You've been there?"

"Yes, those two shops are very close, and many people come out of this shop and go straight to the other!"

"You didn't give it a try?"

"I don't dare, maybe it's someone's trap inside!"

Indeed, such ability and items for sale will not be a trivial matter no matter which sect they are placed in, although there are not many people here, but there are many pedestrians in the past, even Yuan Cheng, who has just arrived here, can find things, some people who often come and go here must know, but why have there never been rumors about this place on the rivers and lakes?

There are probably two possibilities, one is that everyone here knows the importance of these two shops, no matter who can exchange enough benefits and items, each of them keeps their mouths shut, or there are certain rules that must be observed in exchange for items, among which there is a ban on outsiders?

Another possibility is that these two stores have just opened, not the people here, but only for Yuan Cheng and Li Wei, who have just entered here.

The best way to arouse a person's curiosity is to be upside down and abnormal, anyone will have a certain understanding of the people or things around them, and when this cognition greatly exceeds the previous limit, then everyone will be tempted to find out.

Li Wei is no exception.

Night was quietly falling, and it was impossible for those villagers who didn't know martial arts to notice that the two outsiders who had been staring at it for a day could easily climb over a wall more than two meters high and sneak out.

The two figures, one in front and one behind, soon came to these two magical shops in the north of the town.

The shop was closed, but the faint candlelight in the room still spilled through the crack in the door, and several figures were crowded, not like a normal person's rest.

Li Wei and Yuan Cheng climbed into the courtyard wall one after the other, and the room that was the shop was dark and nothing could be seen, and the candlelight came from another room in the inner hall.

The two of them lightly stepped on the steps of the window and jumped to the roof, walked to the center, lifted two of the tiles, looked down, and saw several people in the room, discussing something.

On the mahogany table was a carved wooden box with no lid, on which three rows of white jade-like beads were neatly placed together.

Yuan Cheng said quietly: "This is Yuanzhu!" ”

An old man in coarse linen clothes in the room half-knelt on the ground and pleaded: "Please, Uncle Qiu, give me three more Yuan Beads, and I can get together twelve in exchange for the Immortal Pill!" I beg you, when I get the elixir of eternal life, I will pay you back the hours I owe you in one lump sum! ”

A slightly chubby middle-aged man sat at the table, fiddling with the Yuan Zhu on the table, and said disdainfully: "Lai San, can you still get together twelve Yuan Zhu?" I'm afraid I wouldn't have taken it to gamble a long time ago! ”

Lai Sanyi said excitedly when he heard this: "No, no, I have all the yuan beads that Uncle Qiu exchanged for before, how can I gamble on such an important thing?" ”

There were two people standing next to the middle-aged man, both in short shirts and mocskins, and the strong muscles on their arms made people know that this person was not easy to mess with.

One of them listened to Lai San's words, went up and kicked it, and said angrily: "Fart, I obviously saw you lose two Yuan Beads at the Wanwu Casino yesterday, plus what you lost before, it is impossible to have nine more!" ”

When Lai San heard this, he panicked and said: "No, Master Zhang, you are wrong, that, that is not me!" ”

Lai San was exposed, and he didn't dare to get up when he knelt on the ground, and he didn't even dare to look at Uncle Qiu, who was sitting in the middle.

Another man in a short shirt and leather pants then made up for it and said, "Lai San, you are addicted to gambling, who in the town doesn't know, now you can't afford to change Yuan Zhu, and you still want to rely on Uncle Qiu!" ”

"Master Zhao, don't listen to other people's nonsense, it's all slander, although I have been hanging out in the Wanwu Casino for many years, but it's just to have fun, and I've never gambled!"

Master Zhang: "Never gambled? I saw it with my own eyes yesterday! ”

Lai San's eyes rolled, and he lowered his head and sneered: "Master Zhang, that, that's the first time!" ”

"Please, Uncle Qiu!"

Uncle Qiu carefully tasted the tea in the cup, slid his other hand on the Yuanzhu, and said slowly: "You have gambled or not, it has nothing to do with me, but if you want the Yuanzhu, you have to exchange the hour, this is the rule of my pawnshop, no one can break this rule, understand?" ”

"But, Ke Xiao is already this age, last time I changed more than 10,000 hours, I obviously feel that my body is not as good as before, I can hardly wake up during the day, if I change it again, I'm afraid it will be ............" m.

Uncle Qiu: "This is your problem, if you don't change it, please leave, we have a big deal tomorrow, I'm afraid the rest of the yuan beads will have to be exchanged, and there is no amount to give you!" ”

"Wait...... Wait! ”

Lai Sanyi heard that the Yuan Zhu would be exchanged, and he was afraid that he would not have a chance, so he hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, I'll exchange it for hours!" ”

Uncle Qiu showed a hint of a smile, "That's right, when you come to the pawnshop, you are our guest when you are a thing!" ”

Zhang Xiaoye and Zhao Xiaoye immediately changed their attitudes, one hurriedly brought tea over, and the other carried a stool to Lai San.

Uncle Qiu took out a small bowl, filled it with water, and a ruler, and covered it with a ruler.

After putting it on the table, he glanced at Lai San, who had been in office for many hours, so he naturally understood, and hurriedly bit his finger and dripped the oozing blood into the bowl.

There are many strange characters engraved on the ruler, and it is impossible to see which dynasty and which generation is written, and there are some strange patterns.

The blood drifted in the bowl and suddenly gathered like a coagulation, and the blood twisted into a ball before it reached the edge of the bowl, and from above, it looked like a rag had fallen into the bowl.

Uncle Qiu inserted the ruler into the blood mass, and the words engraved on the ruler flickered, not very bright, and a small piece of the pattern lit up and returned to normal, Lai San has seen this magic ruler many times, and he has seen this flicker many times, but it is different every time, he doesn't know what it represents.

When he saw that small pattern lit up, the corners of Uncle Qiu's mouth rose slightly, but he quickly pressed it down, and said to Lai Sanzhengse: "What are you going to do this time?" When it is the hour, or when the yuan bead? ”

Lai San thought of the account of the Casino of Everything, how could he pass the current level first, and he would always find an opportunity to redeem the hour in the future, so he gritted his teeth and said: "I want three yuan beads, how many hours do I need to be?" ”

"Four thousand three hundred hours!"

"Four thousand three!?"

Lai San waved his fingers and calculated, and rejoiced in his heart: "It's been less than a year!" ”

"Okay, then make it four thousand three hundred!"

"Very good, I'll prepare!"

Uncle Qiu turned around and entered a small door, and took out a steel needle, which was different from ordinary steel needles, and there was a very large round ball hanging on the other end of the steel needle, and a mouth protruded from the ball, but there was nothing else, it was very smooth.

Lai San took off his clothes, revealing the position of his heart, and saw Uncle Qiu take out a steel needle, and asked cautiously, "Uncle Qiu, why can you use three yuan beads in only one year this time, but I used ...... last time?"

Uncle Qiu was unhurried, and while holding a steel needle and piercing Lai San's heart, he said: "Everyone's fate is different, the high and low are different, the life of the cheap is cheap, and the life of the rich is expensive, I told you when you first came!" ”

Lai San said in ecstasy: "Then, doesn't you mean ......?"

Zhang Xiaoye on the side said: "This may mean that your fate in the coming year is good!" ”

Lai San said to himself: "Is it possible to turn the book?" ”

Of course, Uncle Qiu didn't know that Lai San was going to continue gambling, so he just inserted the steel needle in his hand into his heart impartially, and pulled it out when the big mouth on the round head came out with a hint of red light.

Seeing Lai San staring at the Yuan Beads, Uncle Qiu took out three Yuan Beads from the box and handed them to Lai San, "Remember, don't gamble anymore, get together twelve as soon as possible, and go and exchange for the Immortal Pill!" ”

"Yes, yes, the little one knows!"

Lai San left the pawnshop with Yuanzhu in his heart full of joy.

After Lai San left, Uncle Qiu, Zhang Xiaoye and Zhao Xiaoye showed a strange smile at the same time, their faces were very stiff, as if their mouths were pulled up by someone's hand, and the three of them looked at the direction of Lai San's departure together, but their expressions and postures were surprisingly consistent.

Yuan Cheng and Li Wei couldn't see this side on the roof, but they were a little surprised by the three of them for a while.

Not long after Lai San left, the pawnshop turned out the candle.

Yuan Cheng and Li Wei's curiosity was undiminished, and they secretly chased in the direction where Lai San left, an ordinary person, who didn't know how to chase him, but it was not difficult to chase him, but when they arrived at the Wanwu Casino, the two were stopped.

"Why don't you let us in?"

"I'm sorry, two masters, there are no guests here at night!"

"How did the man get in?"

"Who?"

Yuan Cheng and Li Wei saw clearly, Lai San did not stop him from entering, who knew that this small gambling house was surrounded by guards, and there was no chance to sneak in.

"You!!"

Li Wei was about to get angry, Yuan Cheng took out a piece of gold from his arms and shook it in front of the big man, "Now we can go in?" ”

Who knew that the big man still said: "No! ”

"I think you're underwhelmed!"

Li Wei couldn't help but was about to make a move, but Yuan Cheng forcibly pulled him away.

Walking into the distance, Li Wei asked, "Why are you pulling me?" ”

"Don't you think it's strange?"

"Of course, why did Lai San go in, they acted like they didn't see it?"

"Perhaps, we don't have what they want!"

"What?"

"Yuanzhu!"

"Won-joo!?"

"Yes, this casino looks at us, it's so late, what will those gamblers bet on be a secret?"

"But why don't you let us in? How do they know we don't have Yuanzhu? Don't ask? ”

"This is a strange place, the casino opens its door to do business, naturally hopes that the more guests as possible, and opens the door at night, it means that it is not light, but gambling Yuanzhu is not a murderous and arsonous thing, why hide it?"

"This ............"

"Maybe there's some amazing secret hidden inside!"

Li Wei: "These few people who don't know how to breathe and blood can also be guards in this sparsely populated place, I'm afraid it's not enough for me to punch them, why don't you beat them up and take a look?" ”

"It's not difficult to force your way in, but you may not be able to see the secrets inside, wouldn't it be better for us to wait for a time when they don't find out?"

"It's not easy, there are no less than twenty guards around the casino, and there is no chance to sneak in!"

"Don't worry, I'll let you in!"

Yuan Cheng smiled mysteriously.

Some people died, but not completely......
