Chapter 33: A Glimpse
Chapter 33: A glimpse
Ziyi held the little Lori Tongtong, talked and laughed all the way, and walked into the courtyard.
Someone whispered: "This princess Tong of the Liang royal family, she is messing around, her teeth are sharp, everyone is afraid, even the emperor of the empire has no way to take her, but the strange thing is that this princess Tong is not afraid of heaven and earth, the only thing to listen to is the words of this Ziyi Gongzi, it is really evil."
Wukong knew in his heart, this little aunt and grandmother, he couldn't be provoked, he couldn't afford to offend, but fortunately, this matter was in danger, and the past was revealed.
After the shopkeeper waited for the crowd to calm down, he repeatedly explained many precautions to his subordinates, and when he saw the hour, it was already a quarter past nine o'clock, and he quickly reiterated the rules of the game.
Both parties paid the purchase fee in full.
In this game, both sides choose to bet on 2 million spirit crystals, and the rules are the same, the winner will not only get the other party's 2 million spirit crystals, but also get the opponent's stones and inner pregnancy treasures.
The stones chosen by Qiye and Ziyi, one red and the other brown, are almost the same size despite their different colors.
Looking at the strange stones in front of them, both of them looked at them seriously, with solemn faces.
With the flipping of the timing hourglass, the golden sand grains are ticking down, and the stone gambling competition has officially begun.
Qiye is still holding the Yin Hong dagger that is a ruler long and half a finger wide, and the mana of the whole body is transported in the right hand, one knife after another, the blade is sharp, cutting the void, the knife technique seems to be disorderly, but in fact, the law is pregnant, the knife is like a god, and the knife is accurate.
Ziyi still fingers like a knife, a knife like flying, his eyes are like a torch, and he secretly performs "turning stones into gold", the knife in his right hand slashes horizontally and vertically, his fingers are subtle, and the knife is old, not bad.
In the field, the two of them swung their knives and cut stones, and they did not say a word.
In addition to the occasional shouting and cheering, everyone outside the venue also took out the money and treasures they carried, and each aimed at the object of their fancies, and began to bet and gamble.
For a while, the crowd in the venue was basically divided into two groups, one group was led by Zhen Gongzi, Jia Gongzi and the thin young man who supported Qiye, and the other group was led by Princess Tong and the black-clothed people, and the outer group was led by Elder Jian of Xuanbing Gate, Zhu Dashao of Shenzhu Gate, etc., but the number of people who supported Ziyi was significantly less than that of those who supported Qiye.
Some put on their swords, some took out the Panlong Jasper, some took out the spirit crystals used by cultivating immortals, and some offered Jin Dan that could quickly increase mana. Many people have red eyes and red ears, and their heads are full of small beads of sweat.
Isn't gambling just about gambling on excitement and heartbeat?
As the hourglass ticked, the minutes ticked by.
Goku did the math, and an hour had passed.
Two hours later, some people grew impatient, and the crowd began to whisper.
Another half hour passed.
When the crowd in the audience was about to suffocate, with a shout from the stone shopkeeper, "The two masters have entered the critical stage of stone cutting, please keep quiet and don't interfere with the master's stone cutting." Everyone sighed one after another, this long wait was really a painful torment.
Wukong secretly took a closer look and found that most of the stone of the Seven Nights had been cut off, and the remaining core was dark red, only the size of a basin. Qiye spent a lot of mana because of the continuous casting of the "Spirit Pupil Technique", and his whole body was already soaked with sweat at this time. Now it has reached a critical moment, every time he cuts it, he has to observe it carefully, and occasionally, he also reached out and took out a handful of silver powder from a small cloth bag, sprinkled it on the stone, as soon as the silver powder touched the stone, it immediately emitted a little faint fluorescence, gradually blended into the stone, and disappeared.
Goku guesses that the silver powder should have the effect of softening the stone.
Looking at the boulder in front of Ziyi again, the brown stone skin wrapped in the outer layer has been peeled off, revealing the dark red and purple stone body inside, and the inner layer of the stone body is round and delicate, slightly shiny.
Although the brown skin has been peeled off, the current stone body is still tall and half a meter thick. Looking at Ziyi again, I saw that his face was solemn, and his purple clothes were already soaked with sweat.
Wukong secretly used his fiery eyes, trying to see the true face of the boulder in front of Ziyi, but unfortunately, his current mana, the fiery eyes could only penetrate four or five centimeters thick, and if he wanted to go deeper, he found that there seemed to be a purple halo shrouded in the core of the boulder, preventing him from exploring. "What the hell is this, there is a ban on protection?" He became curious, trying to run the stone monkey origin to explore again, but unfortunately, after being seriously injured, the stone monkey origin has also run out of oil, as soon as he casts it, he feels pain in his eyes, he hurriedly stopped, but his heart was more curious about this boulder.
In the middle of the field, Qiye suddenly stopped wielding the knife. He put the knife into the sheath, wiped a handful of sweat from his forehead, took out a cloth bag from his arms, grabbed a few handfuls of silver powder one after another and sprinkled it on the basin-sized stone in front of him, the powder sticked to the stone, and gradually integrated into the stone tire.
Qiye circled around the stone tire in front of him twice, and his face was different. After a while, he stopped, gently pressed his left hand on the middle of the stone fetus, turned his back to everyone, and secretly quietly performed the "Spirit Pupil Technique", silently reciting a spell in his heart, and carefully probing again.
Everyone in the audience is afraid to come out, and at this moment, there is no room for the slightest interference.
Looking at Ziyi again, she had already stopped moving in her hands, her face was pale, and her face was covered with sweat stains.
His brows were slightly furrowed, his expression was serious, and he carefully looked at the stone in front of him, and after a while, he slowly stretched out his right hand and gently pressed it on the middle of the stone tire. Secretly, his mana was running at full speed, and everyone saw that his entire right hand gradually turned red, gold, then brown, and finally red, and his palm became seemingly transparent, slightly glowing with a hint of gold.
Wukong viewed it, this is a stone into alchemy, a wonderful technique for appreciating stones, but unfortunately, Ziyi has obviously not cultivated to the realm of Dacheng.
Some knowledgeable people in the field also gradually saw the doorway.
Time passed quietly, and Ziyi still pressed the stone tire lightly with her right hand, and used all her strength to turn stones into gold to figure out and explore. At this time, the five fingers of his left hand were closed, closed in front of his chest, and he silently recited strange spells in his mouth, and the mana gradually superimposed, and the area around the stone body in the contact part of the palm of his right hand gradually became slightly transparent.
After seven nights of hard stone cutting, the physical exertion was huge, and he had returned to his seat to rest for a while. The young man in white beside him also had a solemn face, and the two whispered something to each other, but it could be seen that Qiye's face was obviously revealing a hint of surprise.
Ziyi has been exploring for half an hour, but unfortunately, she still hasn't gained much. Sweat dripped quietly from both sides of Ziyi's cheeks, and his eyebrows gradually wrinkled into an upside-down V, which was a difficult peep. He looked back at Wukong, his lips did not move, and secretly cast a teleportation to tell Wukong that he was temporarily in trouble and could not see the reality of the void inside the stone.
Wukong shook his head, indicating that he had secretly investigated, but unfortunately he didn't see it clearly, so it really couldn't help.
Ziyi turned her head and was silent, secretly thinking in her heart. After a little pranayama, he took out a light purple pill from his bosom and swallowed it in his mouth, the pill entered his stomach, his face was slightly better, and the physical strength he consumed was temporarily replenished.
It has been three hours since the start of the game.
Princess Tong was on tiptoe, her little face was already full of anxiety, and she kept walking around in place.
Everyone in the venue was also anxiously waiting, but no one left halfway.
The stone shopkeeper was not in the venue for the time being, and I didn't know where he went, but the five old men who were standing or sitting on the wall of the temple were all standing. Their faces were solemn, they were engrossed in the game in the field, and they had secretly raised their alert level.
In the field, Zi Yi's right hand was raised high, and under the operation of the mana of his whole body, a dark red sword light half a meter long and two fingers thick suddenly appeared on the tip of his fingers.
In the courtyard, as the illusory sword in Ziyi's hand slowly raised, the surrounding air seemed to stop circulating. For a while, everyone only felt that the sword qi was deep and cold, like falling into an ice cave, but listening to the sound of the sword, the gravel was flying, and there was no trace of the sword.
Good swordsmanship, some people secretly praise.
Qiye is also staring and watching, hoping to see some clues from Ziyi's sword path.
Half an hour later, Zi Yi put away her sword, turned around, and took a few steps back, standing three meters away from the stone tire.
The shopkeeper didn't know when he had appeared in the field, and when he saw this scene, he was the first to walk over. The rest of the people also took a few steps forward, stretched their necks, and watched carefully.
Ziyi flashed her figure slightly, and everyone felt that their eyes lit up, and they looked closely, and they saw a bright object standing in front of them, the object was about one meter tall and one foot thick, and they couldn't see the true face of the object. I saw that it emitted tens of millions of purple rays, and the light was shining, as bright as stars, like a dream.
"Wow, what kind of fairy treasure is this?"
"What kind of treasure is this?" Shopkeeper Shi's face was full of loss, as if there were ten thousand grass and mud horses whistling past him, he clenched his fists hard, and his nerves were highly tense.
"Hahaha, the master cuts out the rare treasure", Princess Tong waved her two pink arms and cheered, without the image of a royal princess at all. The gang behind looked at each other, and the middle-aged man in black had a black line on his face.
"Ziyi Ziyi, the pioneer of treasure appreciation, stepping on Xiaoqi", at this time, dozens of Ziyi's supporters appeared out of thin air out of nowhere, holding garlands and bells high in both hands, scratching their heads and making gestures in the crowd, making loud noises.
"Shhhh
The fans stared at each other, not knowing why, but the shouting finally stopped for a while.
The light emitted by Ziyi's cut out of the light cluster was so dazzling that everyone couldn't see what kind of treasure it was.
Suddenly, Zi Yi gently raised his left hand, "Shhhh
The crowd did not know why, and stood still.
Suddenly, Zi Yi turned his head and shouted, "Everyone retreat quickly, retreat quickly", he waved his hands at the same time, and purple orchids appeared out of thin air, the orchids were crystal and charming, intertwined and flying in the sky, as fast as lightning, and gradually formed an oval flower net, the flower net was constricted, and slowly shrouded in that dazzling ball of light.
It was the shopkeeper Shi who reacted first, he turned around, and quickly retreated seven or eight meters away, his face was gloomy and nervous, he suddenly raised his head and shouted: "Five elders, quickly set up the formation, quickly set up the formation, quickly."
Only then did everyone react, and with a hula, they all retreated a distance of more than ten meters.
The five elders secretly released their coercion, according to the five elements, each standing in a certain direction, chanting words in their mouths, turning their hands over and over, and inexplicable trajectories in the air, gray, cyan, red, and yellow rays appeared above the courtyard out of thin air, and the light crisscrossed and flickered, flickering bright and dark, like a net and a shield, cutting the void and quickly enveloping the sky above the courtyard.
Zi Yi still waved her hands lightly, thousands of flowers fell from the sky, and an oval flower net swirled and flew, gradually enveloping the dazzling ball of light.
When the flower net perfectly enveloped the dazzling light cluster in the field, Zi Yi exhaled softly, he turned his head to look at the sky above the courtyard, at this time, the Five Elements Qiankun Great Array of the Shenzang Stone Workshop had also been arranged, and in the sky, the large array was blocked, isolating the internal and external space.
Zi Yi played several complicated purple spells in a row, and the spells overflowed from his mouth and quickly merged into the flower net. This flower net is actually a small sealing formation, and after the purple spell is integrated into the flower net, the flower net has obviously become more solid.
When all this was done, Ziyi's body shook for a while. Princess Tong hurriedly ran over and hugged his crumbling body. Ziyi touched Princess Tong's hair, and a shallow smile appeared on her face.
Wukong secretly wondered, "This man in purple looks like a man, he always wears purple clothes, not to mention, there is a faint fragrance of orchids on his body, at a critical moment, how can even the weapons he fights out are flowers, or purple, it's strange."
It's a pity that so far, including Wukong, everyone present still hasn't been able to see what kind of treasure Ziyi has cut out.
"What the hell is it, it makes people panic. Someone asked loudly.
Princess Tong glared back, "What kind of person, don't be rude."
No one spoke, no one wanted to offend this "little scourge".
Suddenly, a small click sounded inexplicably, although the sound was small, but it shook the hearts of everyone present.
"What's going on?" Na Jia Shao squeezed through the crowd and wanted to go to the front to see what was going on, but unfortunately, the people were too congested and he couldn't do so.
"It's the sound of that blob of light," someone screamed in surprise.
After a few seconds, another click sounded out of thin air, the sound was crisp and pleasant, as if the soft pointed beak of a bird was pecking at the eggshell, "Click, click".
Everyone held their breath and shrugged their ears to listen.
A few more clicks sounded, and as the fourth click stopped, an inexplicable coercion suddenly emanated from the light cluster in front of them, oppressing everyone's nervous hearts.
"It's not good", Zi Yi suddenly shouted, and saw him wrap his right hand around Princess Tong's small waist, tap the ground with his toes, and his body quickly jumped backwards, crossed the top of everyone's heads, and instantly floated to a place dozens of meters away.
Everyone was stunned, and when they were about to react, they heard a crisp click of the light cluster in front of them, and a supreme coercion came to their faces, overflowing with coercion, and instantly filled the entire courtyard. The onlookers were suddenly hit hard, and their faces immediately turned pale, and many people were immediately prostrate to the ground by the supreme coercion and oppression, unable to move a bit.
There were only dozens of people on the field who could barely stand, such as the shopkeeper Shi, Ziyi, Elder Jian of Xuanbing Gate, and the middle-aged man in black brought by Princess Tong.
Wukong had a splitting headache and barely stood up, secretly slandering himself in his heart, "It's a big trouble now."
The coercion was mighty, overflowing, pervasive, and swaying, and lasted for five or six seconds before it gradually dissipated.
The coercion dissipated, and many people sighed, swayed to their feet, and looked at each other, they were already sweating and embarrassed.
In the crowd, Zhu Dashao raised a fat face with sincere fear, reached out and grabbed the placket of the person next to him, and was just about to try to stand up.
Just listening to the crisp sound of "snort", a dazzling light that was a thousand times more dazzling than just now suddenly burst out, instantly illuminating the entire courtyard.
The light was overwhelming, piercing the sky and piercing the sky.
Wukong opened his eyes, and in the fog, he saw a more dazzling purple light piercing the sky, wanting to fly away.
What's that, exactly?
