Chapter Eighty-Four: The Sword Emerges from the Offering Table
"Wronged, Xiao Ye'er!" Shen Sumung looked directly into my eyes and shouted, "You must know that people who come to the Shangdu will definitely come to Daluo Temple to try their luck, the one you are looking for is a big profiteer, how could he miss this opportunity?"
His pupils purred, and he looked at the statue with his cheeks half-folded, "Xiao Ye'er take a closer look, maybe there are other things in these offerings that you are familiar with." ”
"You mean, he also came to Daluo Temple to worship the God of Gamblers?"
"It's not just worshipping the God of Gambling! Smart people always think that they have a way to win these treasures, maybe he also went to the messenger to make a bet, but maybe ......" Shen Sumaung paused, and said slowly, "He was clever but was mistaken by cleverness, and unfortunately fell into the trap of the God of Gamblers." ”
I was stunned for a moment, and my mind slowly recalled what I had said to him on the way to Shangdu.
“...... The world is bustling for profit, and this is the favorite place for businessmen to go. Because businessmen always want to exchange the least amount of money for the greatest profit. ”
"Does that include your mysterious owner...... Your proprietor may also be hanging out in a gambling house and can't help it......"
"Then I don't know. The proprietor is in Shangdu at this time of year. But I know he's very measured, and he never trades at a loss......"
......
"Xiao Ye'er, Xiao Ya'er, what are you thinking?"
When I came back to my senses, I saw Shen Sumian smiling meaningfully, and the eyes looking at me were quite ambiguous.
There was a flustered panic for no reason, I stopped pretending to look at the gods, "No, how could he ......"
Suddenly, I was speechless, my cheeks turned white, and my feet walked towards the statue of the December God of Gamblers. The number of people gathered at the foot of the high platform only increased, and I pushed through the crowd to the front, my eyes fixed on a certain spot next to the idol.
"Girl, there is also a first-come-first-served worshipper to worship the gods, how do you crowd people?"
A cold light flickered in the midst of all the offerings, and it was so out of place with the jewels around it.
"Eh, this girl, we are worshipping the god of gambling to make offerings. Seeing that you are empty-handed, are you—because you don't know the rules?"
My brow tightened as I moved closer and closer to the platform. Under the cold light, it gradually condensed into a slender small sword, although it was impossible to see the patterns and accessories on it, but the sharp tip of the sword was extremely transparent, and its sword body was only as long as a palm.
Is that......
Palm sword?
How could Hu Xiaoer's sword be here?!
"Girl!" said one of the people who suddenly stepped forward to block my way, and said in a serious tone, "There are gods, and you are going further than to invade the territory of the December God of Gamblers." violated the God of Gambling, but it will block our financial path. ”
"That's it!"
There were quite a few voices around echoing it.
Only then did I realize that I had recklessly provoked the anger of the public just now in order to see what was going on. The people around me were all facing me, their faces dissatisfied.
"I'm sorry, but I didn't mean to get in your way. I clenched my fists with both hands, "I first came to Daluo, and there were a lot of treasures on the high platform, I couldn't help but get closer, I also wanted to see what was going on." ”
When the others heard this, they dispersed a lot, and they knelt down and began to worship the god of gambling.
Someone else shouted without hesitation, "I say, this girl, if you covet these treasures, you might as well go and make a bet with the messenger of the God of Gamblers." Win ten games in a row, these treasures are all yours!"
These words attracted the attention of many people, and the people around me looked at me with burning eyes, and there was a little restlessness and a hint of nervousness in their eyes. Only Shen Suxiang stood outside the crowd without caring about himself, and spread his hands at me, as if the person who spoke just now was not him.
At this moment, there was a little turmoil in the crowd, and I don't know who shouted again,
"The messenger is here!"
Everyone unanimously made a way, and a grandmother who came at the head took a few people to pack up the offerings on the high platform, turned around again, and said with a solemn face: "The old body is the messenger of the December God of Gamblers, but someone wants to follow the old body to see the messenger?"
The Daluo Temple instantly fell silent, and everyone looked at this side with different expressions.
The dark curtain outside the window was heavy, the moon was shining, and the candles in the hall were bright, and no one dared to speak out easily at this moment.
"Now the hour is late, and there is only one person left to see the messenger. The envoy looked around and said, "If no one dares to answer, today's offering will end here, and you can come again tomorrow." ”
As she spoke, there was a small chatter in the crowd. After that, the maid stayed only for a moment, and then took the men and the offerings and left with her legs.
The cloth bags in the hands of those people jingled with the sound of objects colliding. I saw Shen Suxiang standing in place and raised his eyebrows at me, secretly saying three words in his mouth, with a hint of provocation in his eyes.
Almost instantly, I clenched the sword in my hand and blurted out, "Wait!"
The crowd fell silent suddenly, and the envoy turned her head and looked at me quietly with a face full of ravines.
"I follow you to the messenger of the God of Gamblers. I walked up quickly and spoke to her.
Everyone gasped. People talk higher than one wave, and some people clapped their hands.
"Girl, have you thought about it?" asked my mother-in-law with a blank face.
I nodded and went with her.
The maid led me through the lobby to another corridor, flanked by closed wings. From the outside, some of the inside were lit by candlelight, while others were pitch black.
"Xiao Ye'er, just now you said that this kind of gambling method is strange, and now you are testing the poison yourself?" Shen Sumian swaggered and followed behind the envoy with me, his tone was quite frivolous, "Or is my Xiao Ye'er also interested in those offerings?"
"Shen Su-maung," I slowed down and looked sideways at him, "isn't this what you want?"
Shen Sumaung also walked slowly, listening to me with great interest.
"You brought me to Daluo Temple, and you told me these things, and led me step by step to discover that the offerings on the high platform were greasy, didn't you just want me to make a bet with the messenger? I am righteous, and you can make a move. ”
"Do you keep righteousness in your heart?" Shen Sumian narrowed his eyes and smiled faintly, "I really want to know, what is the righteousness in Xiao Ye'er's heart? Could it be that person taught you? Presumably Xiao Ye'er hasn't figured out that person's true identity yet." ”
His eyes darkened a little, and he chuckled again, "But listening to what Xiao Ye'er said just now, I really underestimated you before." ”
"You're not underestimating me. You don't look down on me at all. You never have anyone in your eyes, only yourself. ”
He stopped.
"Shen Suchang, I've heard a lot of stories about you. You take out someone else's true heart and play with it at will," I said frankly with clear eyes, "one day, you will also fall down from the clouds, and your true heart will be played with and trampled on at will." ”
Suddenly, Shen Su's face turned pale, and his eyes became cold when he looked at me.
The colorful sword sounded like a great enemy.
"Are you all done? The voice of the envoy came from the front, and she said to Shen Suxiang and me with a calm face, "This envoy is happy to be quiet, if you two want to meet, don't say much." ”
