Volume II, Chapter 65
Soon from noon to afternoon, from afternoon to evening. knows that when the gambling house is about to close, Lu Xingyun will only have about three million taels in his hand. At this time, Lu Xingyun was really anxious.
There was only one room left in the room, and Lu Xingyun was here at the moment. This room gambles on the easiest riddles. A lantern riddle is a million taels. There is only one riddle. The riddle is a woman, a very bewitching woman.
"Childe. Listen, my riddle is, "I" and "you have a quarter of an hour to think." ”
Lu Xingyun's brows are almost like a mountain, what kind of riddle is this. When Lu Xingyun heard this mystery, he really wanted to turn around and leave, but he still held back.
Just when a quarter of an hour was about to arrive, Lu Xingyun suddenly stared at the bewitching woman meaningfully.
"Childe, did you think of it?" the bewitching woman looked at Lu Xingyun in some surprise.
"The mystery is the water-based poplar. Lu Xingyun said confidently.
The bewitching woman smiled, and the little one was very happy. "Yes, it's a water-based poplar. I've asked hundreds of people about this riddle, but now only you can guess it. That's a million taels. Lu Xingyun took the silver ticket and left hurriedly. At this time, it was only a quarter of an hour before midnight. Although the silver ticket was less than five million taels, Lu Xingyun still came to the Spring Festival Building to meet Mr. Song.
As for the mystery of the water-based poplar flower, Lu Xingyun also thought of it after noticing the clothes that the woman was wearing. It's better to say it's a thought, but it's a gamble. The riddle is "me", and at first glance nothing can be revealed. However, since it is "me", then all the people related to the person who asked the question can be the answer to the puzzle.
Lu Xingyun was also thinking at first, the mystery of this million taels must be something he didn't know. However, when Lu Xingyun saw the pattern of the clothes that the woman was wearing, he suddenly became enlightened. "I" is the mystery of the woman. Therefore, "I" is a woman, and we usually say that women are made of water, so women can also be replaced by water, and then think of the patterns on the clothes, and the mystery naturally comes to mind the water-based poplar. These are actually very simple, and many people can't guess that they just fall into the wrong thinking. And Lu Xingyun is an unruly person.
Although he got one million taels, Lu Xingyun felt uncomfortable in his heart, and now that this task has not been completed, he will not be able to see him, and if he can't see him, he won't be able to know the whereabouts of Xiao Du Kang.
At this moment, Lu Xingyun was still thinking about what Mr. Song meant. These five million taels are obviously not enough in this town. Suddenly, Lu Xingyun's eyes lit up, as if he had seen starlight.
Lu Xingyun knocked three times like that, and then pushed the door in.
"How's that?" Mr. Song asked directly. It's just that the eyes didn't look at Lu Xingyun, but the tulip in her hand.
"Silver ticket. I only have four million taels. Lu Xingyun didn't seem to be disappointed.
"It seems. You won't see him anymore. Mr. Song still said with a smile, but there was a cold murderous aura in his laughter.
She told Lu Xingyun that if she couldn't get five million taels before midnight, she would definitely kill him.
"Huh. Mr. Song, I only have 4 million taels of silver tickets, but haven't you already got 5 million taels? And you also said that you didn't say that 5 million taels must be silver tickets. As long as it's five million taels, it's fine. Besides, the orange jade tulip was a priceless treasure, far more than five million taels. Lu Xingyun stared at the tulip in Mr. Song's hand and said.
"Huh. Lu Xingyun, you are really smart, but how do you know. Mr. Song looked at Lu Xingyun in front of him with interest.
"Huh. I thought about it before I walked in the door. Lu Xingyun said.
"Oh, it seems that your luck is really not ordinary. Mr. Song said.
"That's what I thought, too. If my guess is correct, this tulip in your hand should be the orange jade tulip, the treasure of the Netherlands. Lu Xingyun shrugged his shoulders.
"Not bad. Mr. Song didn't seem to be very surprised, for Lu Xingyun knew the origin of this orange jade tulip.
"As far as I know, this orange jade tulip is carved from a kind of jade king, but it can give off a fragrance that is similar to ordinary tulips, but with a little more cold and arrogant. I think it has something to do with the orange jade. Lu Xingyun pointed to the orange light jade tulip.
"Why did this orange jade tulip come into your Mr. Song's hands, I don't know. But, yesterday, since I saw you, I've been sniffing the tulip petals on that table, but I always feel like something is missing? That cold and arrogant aura should be what it exudes. ”
"Not bad. Lu Xingyun, it seems that your nose is very useful. If I hadn't known a lot about this orange jadeite, I wouldn't have noticed. Although, I love tulips a lot. Mr. Song looked at Lu Xingyun with some strangeness.
"Rest assured. Since, I agreed. You'll definitely see him. But don't be surprised. Then Mr. Song suddenly said this.
Early in the morning, Lu Xingyun was invited by Mr. Song to the building. However, Mr. Song didn't let Lu Xingyun in, but took him to a mansion, but this mansion looks similar to the yamen, but it is not the yamen. Because there isn't even a single official here.
This mansion looked very ordinary from the outside, but when he entered the courtyard, Lu Xingyun's breathing became heavy. This house is not luxurious, but all the walls, trees, floors, and rooms are all thick black, yes, black, black like night.
On June 27th, the sun was good, but walking in such a hellish house was no fun.
Mr. Song didn't come in with Lu Xingyun, so Lu Xingyun entered the inner courtyard by himself.
Since Lu Xingyun entered this black mansion, he hadn't found a single living person, but he felt that there seemed to be many pairs of eyes staring at him.
With a creak, the door opened, and an eerie black air rushed towards you. The sun was shining in the room, but it wasn't very bright.
Lu Xingyun's eyes widened, as if he didn't believe his eyes.
"You're curious?" said the boss.
Lu Xingyun shook his head and smiled bitterly, "It's very strange. However, it's not so surprising. ”
"Oh. Interesting. The boss didn't mean to beckon Lu Xingyun to sit down, and Lu Xingyun could only stand.
"What should I call you, do I call you the black-clothed hall master, or do I call you Tie Yan Luo or the boss?" Lu Xingyun rubbed his temples and said, "I should have thought of it a long time ago, but I would never have thought that the boss was you." This is a seemingly contradictory sentence, but sometimes contradictory words are not so contradictory to say in one situation, and obviously this is the time.
That's right, this boss is the master of the black-clothed hall, that is, the death abacus, Tie Yanluo. It is rumored in the rivers and lakes that as long as Tie Yama wants you to die, then you must die today, and all he has to do is to play with the calculation at will.
"Haha. For you, Lu Xingyun, you can call it whatever you want. I don't care. The boss laughed.
Lu Xingyun was a little puzzled, "It seems that the rumors on the rivers and lakes are not credible?"
"Huh. The rumors on the rivers and lakes are all made up by people who are greedy for life and afraid of death. However, I, the Black Clothes Hall, is still synonymous with killers. I'm very proud of that. The boss touched the inconspicuous-looking abacus in his hand and said.
The Black Clothes Hall is a very regular killing organization, and before that, Lu Xingyun thought that the Black Clothes Hall would have something to do with the killing organization that everyone talked about recently. At least for now.
"Huh. Black-clothed Hall, the largest murder organization in the world, is also the most mysterious murder organization. I never imagined that I would be in this inconspicuous Yanluo Town. Lu Xingyun looked at everything in the room with a calm face, he didn't know if there would be anything in this room.
"I don't have the courage to attack you, otherwise your master wouldn't have turned the entire martial arts upside down. The boss seemed to see Lu Xingyun's concern.
