Chapter Eighty-Four: Words Are Like Poisonous Blades
......
As soon as they saw this battle, all the disciples knew that there was something lively to watch, and they gathered around one after another. Seeing this pill, they exclaimed, and secretly praised the quality of this small gathering elixir is indeed extraordinary.
It is indeed hard to believe that this is the practice of Chen Mo, who has only been in the field for a month.
Chen Mo frowned and ignored it.
But the tree wanted to be quiet and the wind did not stop, Huo Yingfan stepped forward and measured it carefully, what he thought in his heart was exactly the same as that Ye Lianxiang, and angrily reprimanded: "Chen Mo, you are so bold. According to the rules of Changchun Valley, they must be expelled from the valley and never hired. ”
"Yes, they should be expelled. Behind him, a few Huo Yingfan's sworn friends took advantage of the situation to coax, looking "righteous and awe-inspiring".
"Huh. Ye Lianxiang laughed secretly, it seems that it is still a wise choice to call Huo Yingfan to help vent her anger.
"Stealing?" Chen Mo's eyes lit up, and he said in a deep voice: "Joke, if you say that I steal, I will steal?" Huo Yingfan, if you can't come up with evidence......
Originally, the battle with Qu Muqing had to be spent on enhancing his strength. What's more, I don't want to cause trouble for the goddess and make her annoyed. Chen Mo is quiet and does not want to have more right and wrong.
However, if the other party is aggressive and even frames himself for stealing, then the matter must not be settled.
Huo Yingfan sneered and said, "Do you still dare to be hard-mouthed? Just because you have just started for a month, you want to refine such a quality of Xiaoju Spirit Pill? Who do you think you are, the amazing and brilliant Uncle Mu? No, even if it is Uncle Mu, he didn't have such a speed back then. ”
His reason made many onlookers talk about it.
"What Senior Brother Huo said makes sense, could it really be a stolen elixir?"
"You say, could it be that Uncle Mu refined?"
"Are you stupid? Uncle Mu is a dignified five-grade pharmacist, maybe he can refine one to teach people, but he will never refine so much. ”
"It seems that this kid really stole the elixir. ”
"I think his eyebrows are also handsome, isn't this kind of person?"
"It seems that Uncle Mu, who is simple-minded, has been blinded. ”
......
A series of disturbing discussions poured into Chen Mo's ears like a tide.
In many cases, people's words are like knives, and they can also kill. In this regard,
With Chen Mo's tempered and more precipitated temperament, he would not care about the provocation of a clown like Huo Yingfan, just like the breeze blowing on the hills, he is strong and he is strong.
However, now, things are not so simple, even if the other party has no evidence to say that he stole the pill. Once the rumors spread, it will have a great reputational impact on Mu Lingwei, who kindly took him in.
Thinking of this, Chen Mo's face became more and more cold as ice, and he said in a deep voice: "Senior Brother Huo, I believe you have a calculation in your heart, right? ”
was stared at by Chen Mo's cold eyes, Huo Yingfan's heart suddenly broke out for no reason, and a coldness arose in his heart. But after thinking about it, it's just a country boy with no background, and if he steps on it, he can still jump to the sky?
"Actually, from the bottom of my heart, I also hope that Senior Brother Chen is not a rooster and dog thief. Huo Yingfan's old god was there, and he said in a good tone for Chen Mo: "As Senior Brother Chen said, these pills are refined by yourself, so Senior Brother Chen, you can really be called an amazing genius." Brother Fool can accompany Senior Brother Chen and have a discussion in public. ”
He concluded that Chen Mo didn't have this kind of ability, so he just took the opportunity to clear him out of Changchun Valley.
The coldness in Chen Mo's eyes had been put away, and he said indifferently, "How does Senior Brother Huo want to learn?"
Huo Yingfan saw that he had taken the bait, and he was secretly proud in his heart, and his appearance became more and more like a spring breeze, and his demeanor became more and more graceful: "Our Changchun Valley is a holy land of alchemy, and we respect alchemy. You are originally a disciple of Uncle Mu, and it must be unusual to get her true inheritance. But I started early, and I can't bully you, so we will refine a product of the pill Gathering Spirit Pill, so that you can prove that this little Gathering Spirit Pill is indeed from you. ”
"Senior Brother Huo really has a heart, do I still want to thank you for taking care of me?" The words were sarcastic, and the corners of Chen Mo's mouth curled slightly.
"Thank you for not needing, I didn't have the opportunity to learn from Uncle Mu, and it was naturally a blessing to be able to learn from her true disciples. Huo Yingfan said hypocritically.
Ye Lianxiang on the side covered her lips and snickered, she didn't expect Huo Yingfan to have a way. Although there is a suspicion of bullying the weak, it is excessive. But I can see Chen Mo's gray face after defeat, and that trace of guilt disappeared without a trace.
"Hehe, since there is a Dou Dan game, it will be boring without adding some color, so it is better for me to give 50,000 gold to cheer up Senior Brother Huo. Ye Lianxiang smiled, but she was like a femme fatale and began to add fuel to the fire.
"It's worthy of being a princess, I'm generous, I'll bet 20,000 yuan on Senior Brother Huo to win. ”
"I'll give 40,000. ”
......
Several of Huo Yingfan's followers raised their bets one after another, and the victory or defeat was already obvious, and they didn't follow closely? After shouting, it had reached 140,000 taels of gold coins, but it was one-sided in favor of Huo Yingfan.
If Chen Mo agreed, it would obviously make it difficult for him to turn over.
"Haha. Huo Yingfanlang laughed: "I'll make up a whole number and press another 60,000 taels of gold coins, a total of 200,000." Chen Mo, don't say I'm bullying you. If you win, you take the 200,000 yuan. If you lose, you only need to lose 10,000 gold. He was also afraid that Chen Mo would be scared away by the huge bet, so he hurriedly set him up again.
Let the 200,000 taels of gold become a trap to lure Chen Mo into the bait.
At that time, as long as he loses, he will be able to rely on rumors to "confirm" his crime of stealing pills. Even if Mu Lingwei came forward, he would definitely not be able to protect him.
There was no suspense in the fight, and some of the onlooker disciples knew that Huo Yingfan was malicious, and secretly sweated for Chen Mo, and their eyes all fell on Chen Mo, waiting for his reaction.
Because so far, Chen Mo still has a chance to refuse.
It was quiet, Chen Mo's heart became more and more calm, this time no matter what, he had to fight. Not to mention the 200,000 taels of gold......
The staring eyes seemed to overwhelm him at this time, but he was still calm and unmoving.
The corners of Huo Yingfan's mouth hooked, this kid obviously fell into a nirvana situation, which can be called a dilemma. If he doesn't agree, he will leave everyone with a thief. If he agrees, then Dou Dan will definitely let him defeat and never turn over.
On the side, Ye Lian Xiangjiao couldn't hide the ridicule on her face, and muttered smugly: "This is the fate of provoking this princess." ”
Chen Mo looked at everyone's reactions one by one, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, I promise you." ”
"Oh, I must be dizzy with anger, what kind of hero is he doing at this time?"
"It's so lively. ”
A deep voice came, which made the bustling hall suddenly quiet. The person who came was Gu Yuexiaoguo, the deacon of Danfeng Pavilion, who was in the position of an elder in Changchun Valley and a fourth-grade pharmacist.
"This time there is a good show, and Elder Gu Yue has come to "cheer". ”
......
In the quiet hall, the sound of discussion resumed.
Chen Mo's gaze fell on Gu Yue Xiaoguo, he had already heard that as an elder of the Dan Yu Pavilion, his identification of the quality of the pill was even more accurate, and he was also quite decent.
Gu Yue Xiaoguo looked around at Zhou with deep eyes and said: "Since there is the Dou Dan Bureau, how can the old man be the deacon of the Dan Pavilion, how can he miss it?
"Your appraisal of the quality of the elixir is unrivaled in Changchun Valley. It is your honor to make the judgment. Huo Yingfan hurriedly stepped forward, and made a sycophant pat on his head.
Ignoring Huo Yingfan's compliments, Gu Yue Xiaoguo looked at Chen Mo with interest, and saw that he was dressed in a wide gray robe, and his appearance was quite handsome, and he was plain. He also secretly said in his heart: "Could it be that he is really a genius?
With his status and status, he would never have come to join in the excitement among the juniors. It's just that when he was hiding in the dark to watch the show, he accidentally heard Mu Lingwei's voice and asked him to preside over the verdict of this Doudan.
Thinking that Chen Mo had at least some ability, he secretly looked forward to it.
"Since there is no opinion, let's prepare for each other, and start fighting in an hour. Gu Yue Xiaoguo directly ignored Chen Mo's opinion and solemnly announced.
An hour later.
In front of the Dan Pavilion, the huge square was crowded with people, and in a short period of time, this Dou Dan has become well-known.
The disciples came to see the excitement. Accounts differ and opinions vary. But most of them didn't watch the game process, but wanted to witness Chen Mo's downfall after his defeat.
It can be seen that Chen Mo was accepted as a disciple by Mu Lingwei, and he still lived in the Hanging Pavilion with a dead face, and got along with the goddess in the minds of countless people day and night, which had already aroused public anger.
On the jade steps, a Dantai five or six zhang wide.
Chen Mo and Huo Yingfan stood staring at each other, and behind each of them was a wooden table, on which were three batches of medicinal materials for refining the Gathering Spirit Pill. In the middle of the platform, an hourglass is about three feet high, with blue fluorescence on it, and fine sand like water, which is used to keep time.
In the corner of the platform, on the wooden pedestal, a gong glows with golden light, and the disciple of the Danfeng Pavilion next to him holds a drumstick, waiting for the order. Offstage, the bustling crowd was surging, and the scene was so lively.
Getting up and coming to the center of the platform, Gu Yue Xiaoguo glanced at the two of them, turned to face the public and said: "The rules of the Dou Dan Bureau, there are three medicinal materials for refining a grade of pills next to each of them, each person has three chances, with the hourglass as the time, the game is completed within one hour, the loss of medicinal materials is exhausted, or it is not completed beyond the time, all of them are regarded as failures, and they are completed within the specified time, and the quality of the pills will be judged according to the evaluation standards of the Dan Feng Pavilion, and the one with excellent quality will win." ”
The atmosphere in the square suddenly became solemn, as if a mountain rain was about to come and the wind was full of depression.
But Chen Mo on the stage didn't know that his master, Mu Lingwei, was quietly watching all this in a secluded corner.
"Are you ready?" said Gu Yue Xiaoguo to the two of them.
"Hmm. The two nodded heavily.
