Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Great Master of Treasure Appreciation

Anyway, Wukong was thinking about how to kidnap the two rare birds, when he heard a commotion in the room in front of him, which was very lively.

He left here a little reluctantly, followed the sound of people, turned around, and finally came to a hall, which was said to be a hall, but in fact it was a very large open-air garden, with a transparent ceiling. At this time, the hall was already crowded with people, and there were hundreds of people in the black area, and everyone was silent, staring at the person in the middle.

Wukong finally squeezed in to take a look, only to see a large space vacated in the middle of the crowd, with a long table in the middle, and a little old man with a goatee, with his hands on his waist, was in a daze around a baby-sized black stone on the table.

Wukong saw the situation clearly, and was suspicious for a while, isn't it just a broken stone, what is there to see.

A person next to him stretched out his hand and pulled Wukong aside, "Go, go, this is the gambling stone workshop, a little Taoist priest doesn't go to chant scriptures, come here to join in the fun."

Wukong scratched his head, what kind of tricks do people in this world play, is it related to gambling? After thinking about it, he dragged a middle-aged man next to him and asked, "Excuse me, what is the little old man in the middle doing?"

"Shhhhhh After speaking, he winked at Wukong, and when he saw that Wukong understood, he let go of his hand.

"Master Treasure Inspector, what is that for, and what kind of treasure is on the table?" asked Wukong in a low voice.

"Shhh

"Oh, but I see that this stone is no different from the ordinary stone outside, what is there so rare"?

"Hey, just say that you are a layman? This stone, you don't know, it is a strange stone that has been naturally conceived and born in this world for thousands of years, some of the inner pregnancy elixir, some of the inner pregnancy divine grass, and some of the inner pregnancy treasures, baby."

"Oh, there is such a miracle about this stone, how I have never heard of it".

The middle-aged man rolled his eyes, glanced at Wukong with disdain, and said half-loudly: "You Taoist priest, really, lonely and unheard, mountain and wild Taoist."

"Lonely, mountain and wild Taoist?" asked Wukong.

After being stunned for a while, the big man looked around vigilantly and beckoned to Wukong, Wukong leaned closer to the middle-aged big man, and the big man looked around nervously, and then whispered close to Wukong's ear: "Have you heard of Monkey King?"

Goku nodded.

After the big man said this, his face turned a little pale, he looked at Wukong, shook his head, and hurriedly squeezed into the crowd next to him and hid to the other side.

Wukong instantly understood, "Hey, this stone, it really has a doorway, why didn't I think of it before, I still came out of the stone", he scratched his ears and cheeks.

He took the opportunity to quietly ask a few people around him for advice, and now he basically understands that there are so many strange things about this gambling stone. Not to mention where this stone came from, and what was bred in it, just this gambling bet, it is not ordinary people can participate, because before this gambling stone, the person who gambles the stone can choose the stone, but if it is selected, before it is determined that the stone needs to be broken, it is necessary to pay the price of the corresponding collector's stone to buy the stone first, before you can start gambling on the stone, which is a lot of money, because it can be placed in this sacred stone workshop, naturally it is extraordinary.

However, gambling on stones is risky, because the treasures bred in the stone are covered by thick stone layers, and mortals generally can't see the inner mysteries with the naked eye, so the general people who gamble on stones are based on the steps of seeing, smelling, asking, cutting, and breaking.

This is gambling, one stone is broken, some people instantly get rich and famous, and some people beat their chests and feet, and go bankrupt.

This is the risk of gambling on stones, and of course, the greater the expectation of stones, the higher the risk tends to be.

High risk means high reward, and people who participate in gambling generally understand it, but, often, many people can't see through it, which is also the heart of gamblers.

Besides, the people who gamble on the stone are generally cultivators, and the trading currency used is not the gold and silver used in circulation in the human world, but the spirit crystals commonly used in the immortal cultivation world.

Spirit crystal, of course Wukong knows, this is a kind of treasure naturally conceived by heaven and earth, usually born naturally in a place where the aura is very rich and abundant, the aura contained in the spirit crystal is very pure, generally several times or even higher than the aura of the ordinary world, so this spirit crystal is what all cultivators dream of, with a good spirit crystal, the cultivator can directly refine the spirit crystal, quickly absorb the aura in the spirit crystal, improve their cultivation, and the time to improve will be greatly shortened.

This is the allure of spirit crystals, but spirit crystals, to mortals, are not of much use.

"Spirit crystal", Wukong touched his pocket and quickly took out his hand. In his pocket, there are still a few ingots of gold and silver, spirit crystals, but there are none, NND, he bit it.

At this time, Wukong really paid attention, he squeezed into the crowd again, and stared at the old man with a pair of monkey eyes carefully, trying to see some clues from him.

I saw the old man with the goatee look around the stone on the table for half a night, and then circled the stone three times, and then slowly stretched out his right hand, placed his palm on the top of the stone, and his body stopped there, motionless.

Wukong secretly asked, this old man, since he is a great master of treasure appreciation, he must have some extraordinary means.

Sure enough, after the kung fu of a plant of incense, the little old man's body moved, he withdrew his right hand, quietly wiped the sweat with his left hand, turned back and whispered to the small-eyed young man behind him, "I see it clearly."

When the small-eyed young man heard this, his eyes immediately lit up, he raised his neck and shouted at the stands on the left side of the hall: "Shopkeeper Shi, my family's great grandmaster has seen the treasure conceived in the strange stone, I don't know if Master Ziyi dares to take a gamble?"

"Oh", a middle-aged man in Tsing Yi in the left stand responded, "Master Qiye is really extraordinary, he has seen the treasures conceived in the stone so quickly, it is really admirable." After the middle-aged man finished speaking, he turned around slightly and hugged his fist at a purple-clothed young man sitting next to him, "Zi Gongzi, I wonder if Your Excellency is interested in taking a gamble?"

"Of course", the purple-clothed young man bowed slightly, "Since the Master of the Seven Nights is kindly invited today, I should accompany you in the next place", he took out a pocket from his pocket and gently put it on the coffee table, "This is the 100,000 spirit crystals under it, and please ask the stone shopkeeper to order it, and come when you go down." With that, he stood up and walked to the stone in the middle.

"Hehe, the future is terrible, the future is terrible", the stone shopkeeper said with a smile, he beckoned his hand back, and Xiao Er immediately stepped forward and took away the bag of spirit crystals.

The stone shopkeeper stood up, hugged his fist at the old man with a goatee, and then hugged his fist at the onlookers, and said loudly: "Today, I am fortunate to invite Master Qiye and Master Ziyi to have a peak duel here, which will definitely make my Shenzang Stone Workshop shine and become famous." After a pause, he continued: "Today, the two masters will have three gambling stone battles in our workshop, as usual, two wins in three games, the winner will not only get the other party's gambling funds, take away the treasures in the stone, but also get the special reward of this stone workshop." Ahem, he cleared his throat, "Now what everyone sees is the first competition, this stone is called the Dark Elf, it has to be a place with a strong immortal aura in my Great Liang Empire, worth 100,000 spirit crystals, and the gambling capital of both sides is 100,000 spirit crystals, below, let us welcome Master Ziyi to the field with warm applause."

The hall immediately burst into crackling applause, and the atmosphere immediately became intense.

Watching the Ziyi master walk towards the strange stone in the middle, there were seven or eight flower girls in the crowd dancing garlands and screaming loudly: "Ziyi Ziyi, step on Xiaoqi, Ziyi Ziyi, step on Xiaoqi", the sound and movement were unexpectedly consistent, and immediately attracted the attention of the crowd.

When the Seven Nights Master heard this, his mind was instantly filled with black lines, and his face became gloomy.

Zi Yi stopped when he heard the sound, he turned around slightly, and sent a flying kiss to several girls in the crowd who were screaming in the air, with a very ambiguous attitude.

"I'll go, what is this?" Wukong is also embarrassed, this Ziyi, there is even a fan group.

Several girls in the crowd were immediately infected by Ziyi's ambiguous movements, and immediately there was a frenzied shout, this shout, several young women next to them also immediately joined in, and for a while, "Ziyi Ziyi, step on Xiaoqi" The voice grew a lot.

The Seven Nights Master returned to his seat depressedly and glared at the small-eyed young man secretly, and sure enough, the small-eyed young man immediately understood, he snapped his fingers behind him, and immediately, there was a burst of praise behind him: "Seven Nights and Seven Nights, invincible, famous."

Listening to the shout, the small-eyed young man looked proud, and Qiye also had a satisfied expression.

"Shhh

At this moment, Na Ziyi had already walked in front of the strange stone and was carefully studying the stone in front of him.

After half a pillar of incense, Ziyi walked back to her seat with a relaxed face, "I have seen it clearly below, please ask the shopkeeper Shi to preside."

"Okay", the stone shopkeeper stood up and walked in front of the stone, he looked around, "Everyone, everyone, this first game of the competition is about to officially begin, and please all of you here to testify." Next, please Seven Masters, please Seven Nights Master first."

The seven nights stood up, stroked the goatee with his hand, and his face was triumphant, "After I looked at it carefully, I can now tell you with certainty that inside this stone, there is a ...... that is bred", he deliberately paused for a while, glanced at the small-eyed youth, and immediately, the crowd resounded with a praise of "Master Master, invincible".

Someone was impatient and shouted sharply: "Master, don't sell it, tell everyone quickly."

"Yes, yes, the master hurry up, so that we can also see and learn", echoed the following chorus.

Most of the onlookers in this hall are gamblers and lovers, or they all have a gambler's heart, although they did not participate in the gambling stone, but seeing that the gambling game is about to be revealed, the fanatical heart of a gambler can not be suppressed.

"Okay", he cleared his throat with a burst of satisfaction during the seven nights, "I conclude that inside this stone, there is a chicken." After speaking, his eyes narrowed at everyone, and his face was stunned.

"What, a chicken"?

"What, a chicken, what's that"?

The onlookers were in an uproar and discussed.

"Okay, now I would like to ask Ziyi Gongzi to express his opinion, everyone is invited", the stone shopkeeper raised his hand to stop everyone's noise.

Zi Yi didn't make a fool of himself, he stood up and hugged his fists at everyone, "Just now, Master Qiye said that there is a chicken in the stone, I think everyone has heard it, but what I want to say is that there is a bird and a small bird in this stone." After saying that, he stood there with a calm face.

"Damn, why is it a bird again?" Some people were indignant.

"I'll go, what the hell is going on here, this, this?"

"Since the two masters have already expressed their opinions, you have all heard them clearly just now", the shopkeeper Shi looked at Qiye and Ziyi, "Now I will ask the opinions of the next two to see if they still insist on their own opinions", both of them nodded.

"If it changes, it's too late," both men shook their heads.

"Okay, please sit back to your seats", the stone shopkeeper saw that the two had already sat back in their seats, he clapped his hands gently, the curtain of the living room door was lifted, and an old man who was close to old age walked out with a ruler-long knife in his hand.

The shopkeeper beckoned, and the old man walked over to the stone with a knife and stood still.

"Below, it will be a time to witness a miracle," said the shopkeeper aloud.
