Chapter 196: Gambling Fight
It turned out that this old Jiang had been walking outside for many years and had seen a lot of things, and he had long felt that this young girl was not simple. After some careful observation, he found that this young man's vitality cultivation was not weaker than him, and the girl was even more unfathomable. At the moment when Zhou Ji made a move, Jiang Lao suddenly sensed a trace of murderous aura on the young man's body, and immediately stopped it.
Everyone present was puzzled by the old man's actions, especially what he said later, which can only be described as amazement. It's just that here is the old man's martial arts and prestige, so no one dared to raise any objections, so they all returned to their seats and sat down.
After sitting down, the old man was still shocked when he remembered that murderous aura, thought for a while, and suddenly got up and said to everyone in front of the hall: "Heroes, there are people here today to cheer, please go back first, we will discuss the matter of Jilei Mountain another day!"
With that, there was chaos in the middle hall again. These people who are mixed in the rivers and lakes just want to come to beg for some broken silver, and now they are disturbed by the young man, and they have to go back without catching anything, and they naturally can't get over it.
Seeing the old man's expression, he knew that he was not talking casually, and stood up and smiled at everyone: "All the guests who come are guests, please go to the treasury to get a silver ingot to make a coil, and then come to our Cuiyun Building to listen to the music in the future." ”
"Hey, that's pretty much it, thank you lady!" as soon as they heard that, everyone happily agreed, and hurriedly followed a few maids to the warehouse. The middle hall was a lot quieter all of a sudden.
The old man was relieved to see the crowd disperse. He bowed his hand to the old bustard and said, "Sun Erniang is righteous, Jiang has thanked me." ”
The old bustard smiled and said: "Where is Old Jiang, everyone is gathered here today to worry about the affairs of our Cuiyun Building, how can we not express it?"
Hearing this, Reverse Scale clapped his hands and laughed: "You two are acquaintances, so let's get this meal quickly!"
Seeing this, the old bustard quietly asked the old man in a whisper, "This young man ......" The old man nodded hurriedly and said, "Just do as he wants." When the old bustard heard this, he said in his heart that he really had a plan here, and immediately turned around and ordered his subordinates to cook the dishes.
Luneng was bluffed by the old man, and he didn't know the reality of this little master. Don't dare to speak out again. Just watch from the sidelines. The big man snorted angrily, and looked at Jiang Lao with his hands crossed, just waiting for him to explain. And the king is used to seeing officialdom, so he knows when to say it. When not to say. And just sit on the sidelines.
Ren Xue looked at this scene. He secretly said in his heart: "In the past, Brother Ming Snake used force only as a last resort, this rebel scale is aggressive and domineering, and he likes to cause trouble everywhere. It's a big difference. I'll have to help my brother keep an eye on him. He turned to the back of the scale and whispered: "What kind of fame do you want to do here, if you have any ideas, just say it!"
Reverse scale said disapprerovingly: "What's the hurry? Of course, if you want to contribute, you have to fill your stomach first, I think that old bustard is a generous person, not bad for this table of wine and food." Then he looked up and said to Sun Erniang: "My servant doesn't have a seat yet!"
Sun Erniang couldn't laugh or cry when she heard it, she had never heard of giving a seat to the servant in her life for half her life, but because of Jiang Lao's words, she ordered the maid to bring up a chair and put it next to the young man. Ren Xue didn't squirm, snorted lightly, and sat down generously.
This Cuiyun Building is worthy of being a well-known place of hospitality, and after a while, the banquet was served from the backyard to the middle hall one after another, which was really hearty! Hot pineapple shark fin soup, fragrant celery stewed bear's paw. Here is roe meat, venison pork, and over there is shrimp, crab sticks, jellyfish stars. The fat snake turned over the dry pot, and the carp jumped over the dragon gate. Stir-fried duck tongue with green peppers, three fresh to eight treasures. There is also fine wine and elixir to relieve greasy, and there is light singing and dancing to relieve fatigue. It's really a paradise on earth, and it's the three islands of Penglai.
A few people drank three rounds and were happy, forgetting all the unpleasant things just now. Reverse Scale only cared about eating, drinking, and dancing, but didn't say anything more. You see that he let go of his throat, he is really a raptor swallowing the river, and he will eat up a table of meat and vegetables. In a few moments, the soup and rice came again, and there was nothing left to eat, and the wine patrol came, and the cups did not give up. Ren Xue chewed slowly and only ate some vegetarian dishes and stopped eating, stabbed the scales, and saw that he ignored him, so he could only accompany him.
This feast, starting from the evening, will be eaten until the third watch. The fisherman Zhou Ji came to the one-eyed old man with a wine bottle and said with a smile: "Old Jiang, you are a little confused today, how can you say that I am not the opponent of the Yang family's boy?"
The old man had been observing the reverse scales during the banquet, took a sip of wine and said, "Brother Zhou, it's not that I'm confused, it's that you are really inferior to others." ”
"Oh, what do you mean by that?" Zhou Ji asked.
The old man said: "You can't see that this young man's cultivation is on par with me, and that girl...... But even I can't see through it!"
When everyone heard this, they all looked at the young man who was eating and drinking, and Wang Zhutou couldn't help but say: "Hey! No wonder it's so massive! This can be eaten and work is not bad, it is really unseemly, and the sea water is incomprehensible!"
But Zhou Ji still didn't believe it, and said to the reverse scale with the strength of wine: "Heroes don't ask where they come from, and they don't care about their age. I was so offended just now, and now my little brother dares to gamble with me, so that everyone can have fun?"
When the old man heard this, he just wanted to stop it, but when he saw that the reverse scale raised his head, he smiled and asked, "What kind of gambling method do you need, what kind of fighting method do you need?"
Zhou Ji looked at the garden and rolled his eyes, and said: "All of you here are friends, and the martial arts fight is afraid of hurting the harmony, so let's have a literary fight! If you lose, you just need to kneel down and kowtow to the winner three times and call grandpa three times."
Reverse Scale smiled: "Regardless of whether you win or lose, let's talk about Wendou's calculations!"
Zhou Ji said: "Wendou is better than that strength, courage and courage, three sets and two wins to win or lose." Compare the strength to see who can move the stone mountain in the courtyard of this Cuiyun Tower. It's more courageous to see who can stay under the water of that fish pond longer. Is this daring...... There is a white-fronted dragon-eyed tiger in Luan Feng Mountain, and whoever dares to go to its cave to live for a night will be counted!"
When everyone heard the name of this white-fronted dragon-eyed tiger, they were shocked and broke out in a cold sweat. Who in Luancheng doesn't know the ferocity of this beast? I don't know how many mercenaries and warriors who have strayed into the mountains have been torn apart and devoured. In normal times, no one dared to approach the 100-mile radius of their territory. Not to mention spending the night in its cave.
In fact, Zhou Ji said this, he thought in his heart, the first two games were his strengths, would he still lose to a teenager?
Hearing this, Reverse Scale lowered his head and groaned, and said secretly in his heart: "Since I left the Beast Domain, I have never encountered any high-level foreign beasts, and I don't know what treasures are hidden in this Luanfeng Mountain, but I can attract a third-level demon beast to hover here." Kind of interesting......"
Zhou Ji saw that the young man was silent, and thought that he was frightened by the conditions he proposed. Mei Zizi said: "How about it? If you don't dare to compare." Just call me three times grandpa!"
But before the words fell, he saw the young man raise his head, smile faintly, and say, "Okay." I promise you. Which one do you want to start with?"
After all, Luneng was worried about the safety of the young man. Seeing that he agreed, he hurriedly walked over. whispered: "Little master, Zhou Ji is a well-known king of power in Luancheng, and he is used to walking on the river. The first two games were his strengths, and maybe a little bit hard. And the white-fronted dragon-eyed tiger is not a joke, or even all of us here may not be its opponents. I think it's better to forget about this Wendou. Now that I will take the young master out of the city, I think about it, and they don't dare to stop it for the sake of the Yang family. ”
Reverse Scale smiled: "Your servant is quite dedicated, but don't worry, I'm here to play tricks today!"
Luneng wanted to persuade him again, but was pulled down by Ren Xue on the side and said, "Uncle Lu, don't worry about him." If you don't let him show his strength today, I'm afraid that there will be trouble later. He can handle these three competitions on his own, so let's just watch. Seeing this, Lu Neng had no choice but to sigh lightly and stop speaking.
That Zhou Ji saw that the young man was so calm, and he was a little drumming in his heart, but since he had already drawn the line, he could only slap his swollen face and make it fat. said to the one-eyed old man and Wang Zhutou: "Then ask the two of you to make a notarization, and you will win or lose in a while." Then he turned his head to the reverse scale and said, "Let's start from a close place, and let's compare the strength and courage of the scale!"
"You!" The old man was a clear-eyed person, and he was worried about Zhou Ji's safety, but the matter had come to this point, and it was irretrievable, so he sighed and nodded in agreement. The king was happy to see such a competition, and said with a smile: "Okay! It's been a long time since the fisherman showed his skills, so let's see our horizons today!"
Sun Erniang saw that the old man was worried, and she was also worried in her heart, but she didn't expect that for the sake of Jilei Mountain, she would have a competition today. But seeing that both parties had agreed, he had no choice but to order his subordinates to withdraw the banquet and lead everyone to the courtyard of Cuiyun Tower.
But see, the scenery is worth three springs, and the evening breeze is cool. Green pine with green bamboo, young willow with green poplar. The jade moss under the steps is sprinkled with petals, and the peach branches in front of the window spit out new shoots. Qiaoshi Mountain, in the fish pond. On the top of the rocky mountain, the green bamboo shoots are cut off from the peaks, and in the fish pond, the duckweed is displayed in the clear and living water. The hibiscus on the shore is delicate and bright, and the hibiscus on the cliff is hanging down. Two hedges are blooming, and a few phoenixes are red and green. The guests are in the place of recreation, and the wings of colorful butterflies are all spread. Walk along the boulevard, and the view goes straight to the peony pavilion.
Next to the corridor by the fish pond stood a smooth boulder with many holes and irregular shapes. It is said that when the Cuiyun Tower was built, no less than 300 strong yaks were used to pull the cart to transport the boulder that was fished up from the bottom of the river. In other words, the weight of this boulder has exceeded 100,000 catties. Generally speaking, even the martial artists of the Yuan Dan Realm didn't want to move it for half a point.
When the fisherman Zhou Ji saw the boulder, he took advantage of the strength of the wine and shouted, "I'll come first!" as he spoke, he tightened his belt, stepped forward, and pushed hard with both hands on the boulder. You see that his face was flushed and sweating profusely, and he let out all the smell of wine, but there was still not the slightest movement of the stone. Seeing this, Zhou Ji breathed a sigh of relief, fully exerted the strength of the Yuan Dan Realm to the extreme, and shouted, "Go!"
Rumble!
There was a tremor in the courtyard, and I saw that the boulder had actually moved forward an inch!
"Okay!" Wang Zhutou couldn't help but give a thumbs up and shouted: "Brother Zhou really deserves to be the king of the strong fisherman, and he actually really pushed this stubborn stone!"
The old man, Luneng and the others also nodded beside them, because regardless of their vitality cultivation, even if they wanted to move this boulder, they felt that it was unlikely. Look at how many years this week's Ji vertical and horizontal waterways it is, and what he relies on is really a real skill.
Zhou Ji spread his hand and walked in front of everyone panting. deliberately humbly arched his hand and smiled: "Offering ugliness, offering ugliness, I Zhou Ji has so much strength." He looked at the young man again and said, "Little brother of the Yang family, it's your turn!"
Ren Xue saw that the big man was panting and proud, and couldn't help but hide behind the reverse scales, half-covering her lips, laughing out loud, and secretly said in her heart: "How did you come to be a brother? Not only did you inherit the physique of a foreign beast, but also exercised on the Eastern Heavenly Pillar and in the Temple of Yu Xi. At the beginning, the gate of the Heavenly Sense Temple in Yuwang City weighed more than 300,000 catties, and it was pushed open by his brother, not to mention that there was only a stone in front of him?"
Zhou Ji frowned when he saw the girl snickering there. He said angrily: "What are you laughing at over there? If you want to admit defeat, hurry up!"
Scales waved his hand. Tuk pouted and smiled: "She is laughing at you for not being able to measure yourself." Let's go away and see how your grandfather and I move!"
Everyone was shocked when they saw what the young man said easily, and they all took a few steps back. Watch carefully. I saw him leisurely walking in front of the boulder. I probed it with my hand first. Okay, let's get started. Before everyone cleared up, they only heard a "get up!"
In an instant, the boulder of more than 100,000 catties was lifted above his head by the young man with one hand!
"Oh my God, there is really such a divine power in the world!?" Sun Erniang couldn't help but exclaim.
She knew best what it took to carry the boulder that year. It was she who spent a lot of money to hire more than a dozen Yuan Dan Realm martial artists from the national capital, and with the help of dozens of Medicine Realm martial artists, it took three whole days to carry them here from the front. The young man in front of him was able to lift this boulder with one hand, this is too unreasonable, this kind of strength is comparable to that of a demon beast!
"This, this ......"
The big man Zhou Ji was so frightened by this scene that he sat on the ground, looking at the boulder dumbfounded. At this time, he finally understood that this young man was not at the same level as himself at all, and there was no comparison. Jiang Lao shot in front of him, and he really saved his life!
Carrying the boulder a few steps, he came to Zhou Ji, looked at him with a smile and said, "Lift it up, but it's a little numb after a long time, where should I put it?"
Zhou Ji was so frightened when he heard the words that he wanted to escape, but his bones were numb and his muscles were weak and he couldn't move, so he raised his hand and shouted with all his might: "Put it back in its place!
Reverse Scales looked at the big man's expression with enjoyment, and just wanted to throw the boulder down casually, but heard the girl behind him cough dryly. Pouting, he threw the boulder back to its original place with a bang. It's just that because of the heavy force, the boulder has sunk more than three inches than before.
At this time, Wang Zhutou came back to his senses, and he didn't dare to step forward to say anything, so he turned to Luneng and smiled: "Congratulations! Congratulations! This little young master of the Yang family really lives up to his father's name of genius! With this great power, he will definitely be able to stand out in the family competition this time!"
Jiang Lao also sighed lightly and said: "I don't live up to the hard work of that old man Yang! This family competition will have to rely on your Yang family a lot." ”
As a member of the Yang family, Na Lu Neng's heart naturally blossomed at this time, and he thought in his heart, if the head of the family knew that the little boy was so promising, he didn't know what kind of happiness he would be? This little young master wants to be successful in his studies, but his temper is a little worse, and he hopes that everyone will be in Haihan. ”
When those people heard this, they all said, "Don't dare, don't dare." "In the Yuancang Realm, the strength determines everything, anyone can see that through the upcoming family competition, this son will inevitably be entrusted with a heavy responsibility, so what if he is arrogant now?
The reverse scale was on the rise at the moment, and he still didn't forget to gamble after putting the boulder away, and turned to Zhou Ji and asked, "Who should go first in the next competition?"
Zhou Ji is not a fool in the rivers and lakes all the year round, looking at the momentum of the other party, he already knew that he would definitely lose, and immediately knelt down in front of the reverse scale and arched his hand and said: "No, I Zhou Ji has eyes and does not know Mount Tai, and I am willing to admit defeat! I would rather call you grandpa three times!"
Reverse Scale looked at the big man kneeling on the ground, his eyes suddenly flashed with a cold light, and he said coldly: "Do you say admit defeat if you admit defeat?" Grandpa, I'm having a good time, if you admit defeat, what's the fun to talk about?"
When Lu Neng heard this, he hurriedly stepped forward and shouted: "Little master, you must be moral, since he has already admitted defeat, he should be forgiving and forgiving, forget it!"
But at this time, the reverse scale seemed to be completely intoxicated with strength, and said with a sneer: "Morality? Only the strong are worthy of talking about morality! You are my servant, I don't embarrass you, go down!"
Luneng is a man who has a clear distinction between right and wrong, although he knew that he couldn't beat it, he didn't retreat, but continued to block the middle between Reverse Scale and Zhou Ji. His teeth were clenched, his fists were clenched, and he looked at the reverse scales and said slowly: "This fact is difficult to follow. ”
"You want to die!?"
A gust of wind suddenly rose in the garden, and he took a step forward against the scales, and his whole body was imposing, and the pupils of his eyes had completely turned bright gold at some point.
Jiang Lao looked at the dust that was swept up by the wind, and said secretly in his heart: "It seems that the old man has lost his eyes this time! This young man's vitality cultivation is only stronger than the old man, but not weaker, and today he has hit a hard nail." He's going to rush forward, and I'm afraid no one can stop him. But I can't leave Zhou Ji alone, I just hope that a few of us can subdue him together. Gritting his teeth, he turned his head and glanced at Wang Zhutou, and both jumped out of the gap, ranking around Luneng.
Reverse Scale looked at the three people opposite, and suddenly remembered the fierce battle with Ji Chang after waking up, and said coldly: "Are you going to rebel? I want to see who dares to stop me from competing today!"
"Stop playing!"
Ren Xue also saw the abnormality of the reverse scale at this time, lest it would not be able to control its killing intent, so she rushed over while shouting.
But just as she was about to rush to the side of the reverse scale, the wind that was raging the whole garden suddenly disappeared, and the boy suddenly fell to the ground!
Jiang Lao and the others didn't know how to react, so they hurriedly helped Zhou Ji up and quickly retreated in the direction of the middle hall, leaving only the young girl on the edge of the pond in the garden. After all, I don't know what happened to the boy, and listen to the next breakdown. (To be continued......)
