Chapter 306: Thousand Machines Pavilion
On the way, he told me that the Zhang Zhenren he was looking for should be a person who supported a family alone. Moreover, this Zhang Zhenren's family should not be very successful. Lin Dong nodded to the innkeeper and said.
"Oh, going downhill?" the innkeeper touched his chin, "yes, I want to think about it...... Wait for me to think about it. Hey! Zhang Zhenren who meets your requirements, our Ten Thousand Swords Sect really has such a person. However, this Zhang Zhenren has lived in seclusion for many years. It won't be easy for you to see him. β
"I don't necessarily have to visit Zhang Zhenren himself. You just need to know where Zhang Zhenren's family lives. He Zhi said with a smile.
"Just want to come in? Then it's a lot easier. This Zhang Zhenren lives not too far away. The 'Outer Heavens' where our Ten Thousand Sword Sect Mountain Gate is located is known as the Three Mountains, Seven Mountains and Eighteen Islands. This Zhang Zhenren's ancestor still has some skills, so their Zhang family is quite powerful on the 'Fire Island' among the eighteen islands, and they can stand firm. β
"Leaving the ......Fire Island," He Zhi silently recited the name, "If I want to go to the Fire Island, how should I go?"
"Hey, isn't it easy to get to the Fire Island? just two spirit stones, just go directly through the teleportation array. Lin Dong looked at He Zhi as a matter of course.
"Spirit Stone ......" He Zhi looked embarrassed.
He Zhi had indeed heard of the spirit stone, but the problem was that he had never seen it!
"Hey, senior brother, you won't be reluctant to give up two spirit stones, right?" Lin Dong looked very disdainful, but he didn't dare to show it, and looked up at He Zhi secretly.
"I'm not reluctant...... It's just ......" He Zhi didn't know how to explain to the two for a while. If he had spirit stones, he must have taken out as many as he could. There was no question of reluctance, but he really didn't know where the spirit stone came from.
"Could it be that Senior Brother, you went out in a hurry today and forgot to bring it?" Lin Dong is also pushing himself and others, he himself is a careless character, so he treats everyone as careless guys.
Moreover, the main thing is that He Zhi's own temperament does not look like that kind of poor and sour guy. After all, when He Zhi was on Earth in his previous life, he was considered a successful person. After crossing over to this side of the world, it is another strong party, the leader of the martial arts alliance.
In other words, He Zhi has never been short of money in both worlds, and he naturally has the feeling of being a successful person. Lin Dong and He Zhi stood together, and they couldn't tell that He Zhi would be the kind of person who was short of money.
Since He Zhi doesn't seem to be a person who is short of money, the only explanation for his lack of money is naturally that he forgot to bring it.
Well, it is. He is the senior brother of the inner gate, and he originally just went to the trial hall to see the excitement. If you want to find Zhang Zhenren, I'm afraid it's a sudden whim. Besides, he didn't know how Zhang Zhenren's house was going to get over, and it was understandable that he didn't have the money to travel with him.
Lin Dong himself also found a reason for He Zhi.
"If you don't go through the teleportation array, it will be troublesome to go to the Fire Island. It takes seven or eight days to get on the boat. I don't think the two of you look like people who have so much spare time to go to the Fire Island, right?Unless, this matter of the inner door selection, the two of them don't want to participate in it later?" The innkeeper glanced at He Zhi, and said to the two with a smile.
"Hmm......" He Zhi frowned slightly.
If it takes seven or eight days to get to the Fire Island, He Zhi will definitely be too late. Not to mention that in the current inner door selection, He Zhi has at most five or six hours left, that is, almost ten hours of free time.
Even if the difficulty of the inner gate selection continues to increase, He Zhi can pass all the way and break out of the encirclement with the fastest speed, I am afraid that the time he can move freely in the Ten Thousand Swords Sect will not exceed the number of one day.
In this way, it seems that we still have to find a way to get the spirit stone and go from the teleportation array to the Fire Island. He Zhi thought secretly in his heart, but his gaze involuntarily fell on Lin Dong.
He Zhike still remembered clearly that this Lin Dong had hurriedly run in the direction of the mountain behind the trial hall, the purpose of which was to find out the news and participate in some gambling game.
He Zhi has just come out of the Trial Hall now, and the situation in the Trial Hall is not known to many people better than He Zhi!
With such inside information in hand, He Zhi didn't know if he could transfer a sum of money through this as a travel fee.
"Hmm, Senior Brother, what are you looking at me for?" Lin Dong saw He Zhi's gaze, and immediately shrank back like a chicken protecting food, and said vigilantly, "Senior brother, even if the two of us know each other now, if Senior Brother wants to borrow money from me, I don't." β
"Don't worry, I'm not looking for you to borrow money. He Zhi looked at Lin Dong with a smile and showed a somewhat mysterious smile, "Actually, I want to do a business with you, I don't know if you are interested?"
"What kind of business?" Lin Dong still looked at He Zhi vigilantly.
Outside, there are many small stories of outer disciples being deceived. Although Lin Dong was still convinced of the identity of He Zhi's inner disciple, Lin Dong had an unusual vigilance about his money.
"Hehe, when we just met outside before, you seemed to say, you want to inquire from me about the news inside the Trial Hall? You inquired about this news, what kind of gambling do you want to participate in?" He Zhi still asked Lin Dong step by step.
"Well, yes. So what? Almost half of the outer sects of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect are involved in this gamble, even if you go to find someone to complain, I am not afraid. β
"Hehe, you're mistaken. How could I go to someone to file a complaint? The business I just talked about was just to partner with you! Didn't I tell you? I just came out of the Hall of Trials. I know the situation in the Great Hall of Trials very clearly. I just don't know, I know this news, can you use it to make a profit in the gambling game. β
"Oh, is that so?" Lin Dong was a little moved when he heard this.
However, as I said before, Lin Dong has an unusual vigilance about his money. Even though he had already been moved by He Zhi's proposal, he was still a little nervous.
"If your news is true, of course, I can make a fortune in the gambling game. However, if your news is not accurate, senior brother, then it will be ......."
"Don't worry, I vouch for it with my personality, and the news I give you is absolutely accurate. He Zhi said to Lin Dong with a smile. Moreover, after saying this, He Zhi lowered his voice again and said: "In addition, what I want to tell you is that the news I have here should be unique news for a long time. Because none of the Golden Sword disciples who came out before me to participate in the selection knew what they were going to do after they were eliminated. And those who are still in the main hall, I'm afraid it will be a while before they come out. So, you think about it. β
"Ah, this ......" Lin Dong listened to He Zhi's bewitchment, he was moved and nervous. I saw Lin Dong's sad face and struggled for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth fiercely: "Okay! I can't bear the child to trap the wolf! I did this vote!"
"Well, that's right!" He Zhi nodded with satisfaction, and then patted Lin Dong's shoulder again, "Don't worry, you won't regret this decision just now." β
To be honest, although in this transaction between He Zhi and Lin Dong, He Zhi was indeed suspected of being a white wolf with empty gloves, none of He Zhi's words were false.
The information He Zhi has about the inner door trial is indeed likely to be exclusive for a long time!
Because the batch of Golden Sword disciples who were eliminated before He Zhi left the main hall were all eliminated almost at the same time. They didn't have a chance to enter the main hall again and understand the situation at all, so they were directly kicked out of the main hall of trials.
And when He Zhi left the main hall, most of the Golden Sword disciples who were still able to persist in the trial phantom array had already stabilized the situation, and they were obviously able to hold on to the phantom array for a long time.
The people in front don't know, and the people in the back can't get out, so this He Zhi's news is naturally exclusive.
When Lin Dong made a decision, the two of them didn't even care about eating - this was mainly because Lin Dong was anxious, for fear that something would happen in the trial hall, causing He Zhi's "exclusive news" to become not so exclusive. Therefore, I strongly advocate that I should finish the gambling game first, and then come back to eat.
He Zhi naturally agreed. So the two of them set off at once, and went in the direction of the gambling house in the bazaar.
In this bazaar at the inner gate of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, Qian Fat Man also gave his gambling house a rather literary name, called "Thousand Machine Pavilion". It didn't take long for He Zhi and Lin Dong to come to the door of the Thousand Machines Pavilion.
Standing at the door of this gambling house, He Zhi once again deeply realized that absolutely no one in this gambling house is a good person - the gambling house that appeared in front of He Zhi and Lin Dong was tall and majestic, as high as a four-story building, and it was carved with beams and paintings, covered with golden glazed tiles, and it looked magnificent to the extreme.
Compared with the dilapidated inn where He Zhi and Lin Dong lived before, it was like two extremes between the two.
This person didn't know how many bad things he had done to make such a luxurious casino in a place like the Ten Thousand Swords Sect.
He Zhi sighed with emotion, and followed Lin Dong in.
As soon as the two of them entered the gate of the Thousand Machines Pavilion, someone next to them immediately stepped forward.
These people glanced at He Zhi and Lin Dong, and soon their eyes fell on the bronze sword logo worn by Lin Dong, and they all immediately showed a look of awe.
- You must know that although this is the inner gate of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, the Ten Thousand Swords Sect controls a vast continent with a radius of tens of thousands of miles, and there are also a large number of mortal people living on the territory of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, but not all of them are monks.
It's like in this Thousand Machine Pavilion gambling house, most of the people who wander around and are responsible for serving guests are just ordinary mortals living in the mountain gate of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect.
For these mortals, an outer disciple of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect who could wear the bronze sword logo was already enough to make them feel awe-inspired.
Lin Dong is not the kind of monk who only wants to cultivate wholeheartedly, and at the same time treats mortals as ants. When these mortals around him cast awe-inspiring glances, Lin Dong couldn't help but show a little youthful smile.
Of course, in front of He Zhi, his smile was slightly revealed, and he quickly took it backβin front of an inner disciple, he didn't dare to get carried away.
"Two guests, I don't know what the two of you want to play? Whether it's dice, pai gow, double land, phantom beast game, or sword fighting array, we have everything in the Thousand Machines Pavilion. Soon, a graceful and charming-looking maid stepped forward in the Thousand Machines Pavilion. The maid bowed to the two of them in a dignified manner, and then said to them with a smile.
"Ahem, ahem...... We're not interested in any of that. Lin Dong, a young man, is very concerned about money, but he doesn't seem to be so interested in beautiful women. He glanced at the woman with a red face, and then quickly shook his head like a rattle.
"So, the two of you should be here for the gambling game of the selection of the Inner Gate of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect this time? Do you want to place a bet?" The maid was not discouraged, smiled again, and asked again.
"Yes, yes, that's what we're here for. Hurry up and take us there. Lin Dong finally smiled this time, and after nodding his head a few times, he couldn't wait to say.
"Hehe, the guest is really in a hurry. Well, please come with me, both of you. The maid was still smiling, and with a slight turn of her body, she turned around in a very seductive posture and led the two of them towards the depths of the casino.
He Zhi and Lin Dong followed behind the maid, and after walking forward, they saw a huge room appear in front of them. In the room, a huge curtain of light hangs.
On the light curtain, the names are displayed one by one, and at the same time, each name is followed by different odds, as well as notes about different betting methods.
"Senior brother, look, the place where the inner gate trial bet is placed is here. Who do you think we should bet on?" Lin Dong said to He Zhi excitedly, his eyes staring at the screen without blinking.
He Zhi also raised his head and carefully observed it on the screen.
Soon, He Zhi found several familiar names on the screen. For example, He Zhi himself, Wang Lu, Qin Shou, and even Huangfu Tianchi are all on the list.
However, at this time, the words "Bet is over" are already displayed behind most of the names on the screen. Obviously, the Qianji Pavilion of this fat man is not generally well-informed. At the same time that the Golden Sword disciples who participated in the selection of the inner gate were eliminated, they already knew the results on their side.
Moreover, after He Zhi took a closer look, he found that behind the names he was familiar with on the screen, almost all of them were in the same situation as the odds marked by Qian Fatzi.
