Zhong Liqi's house is in the north-south corner of the city, there is no bustling flow of people, it looks quiet and elegant, but it is very different from the style of its owner.

Opening the closed formation in front of the door, Zhong Liqi pushed the door open, turned around and said: "Usually there is no one to take care of here, and I haven't been here for a long time, Brother Yi don't mind, you need to clean it up yourself." ”

Yi Xuan waved his hand and said, "It's okay, you and I are cultivators, one futon in one quiet room is enough." can have a place for Brother Zhongli, where is there any reason to complain, Brother Zhongli doesn't have to worry about it. ”

While the two were talking, Ah Bing took the first step into the mansion, probed around and returned to the door, nodded to Yi Xuan to indicate that they were safe, and everyone entered the mansion in turn. A small courtyard came into everyone's eyes, the atrium and the wing rooms were hidden among the clumps of green bamboos, the path in the middle of the courtyard had been overgrown waist-deep barren grass because no one had cleaned it for a long time, and the cicadas and insects chirped in the grass, which were disturbed by everyone, and there was a small pond near the courtyard wall, the water of the pond had long since dried up, revealing the dark brown silt of the bottom pond and some withered yellow lotus leaf rhizomes.

Zhong Liqi scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "This, I haven't been here for a long time, and it has been abandoned like this, which is really undignified." ”

Without waiting for Yi Xuan's instructions, the iron guards quickly cleaned up the weeds and dead leaves, Yi Xuan stretched out his hand and flew out a few Kanshui runes, condensing a drizzle out of thin air, sprinkled a cup of tea, cleaned the courtyard, and refilled the small pool with clear water, recreating the quiet artistic conception.

Everyone settled into their respective residences, and Yi Xuan and Zhong Liqi went out hand in hand, preparing to listen to the detailed information about the competition. Returning to the crowded market from Zhongliqi's house, the two of them found one of the most lively wine shops and sat down to listen to the small talk of the monks around them......

"I heard that no, yesterday, the son-in-law of the Sun family has also arrived in Ziguang City, and he is also here to recruit relatives for this competition. ”

"What's so strange about this? At the moment, in the Purple Light City, more than half of the foreign monks came for the martial arts competition, but the people who really had the opportunity to participate were only 12 out of 10, and they could not participate casually. ”

"What, are there still many restrictions on this registration?"

"It's nature. In order to participate in the competition and recruit relatives, there are no less than a million foreign monks who have poured into Purple Light City, and if all of them can participate, they don't know how long the competition will be. Therefore, Gongliangjia has already listed the conditions for signing up for participation, and those who do not meet the conditions will be screened out from the time of registration. ”

A few people were whispering at a table next to Yi Xuan, and their voices became louder and louder when they talked about the rise: "It's so harsh, I'm afraid that many people don't have the opportunity to participate, won't everyone make a fuss?"

"Who dares? Gongliang is the first family, what are some conditions!"

"After talking for a long time, what are the conditions?" Yi Xuan saw that he talked about the key points, and used his spiritual sense to eavesdrop more carefully.

"There are five screening conditions for the competition of the Gongliang family: first, it is required that the applicant must hold the recommendation of a person equivalent to the status of the lord of the house; secondly, the bone age of the applicant is limited to less than 100 years old, and at the same time, the cultivation is to reach the late stage of the Yudan; the third is to test the combat power and show strong strength on the spirit stone; the fourth is to have a force, not a lone ranger alone; the last one is the most intriguing, which needs to explore the life history and bloodline of the applicant, and the specific conditions are not clearly stated by the Gongliang family. ”

After listening to all the conditions, several monks fell into contemplation, it is estimated that these people are all admiring the final result, although they do not value the final result, but at least they want to be able to sign up to participate, in front of the world's heroes, maybe by which force or which ancestor is in the picture, from then on will be one step to the sky.

Zhong Liqi saw that Yi Xuan listened carefully, and said in a low voice: "Brother Yi doesn't have to mind, this good family has always liked to play tricks, and this time it is to capture everyone's appetite, the registration is just a gimmick, with your strength and fame, you can definitely participate, but don't have too much hope for the final result, as long as you can compete with many masters on the same stage in the process, it will not be in vain." ”

Yi Xuan understood the other party's hard work, nodded and agreed: "Don't worry, how can I not understand that offending the Gongliang family will inevitably affect your brothers, and I will not disregard the safety of my brothers." It is estimated that many monks have the same plan, but I am a little eager to try these five restrictions to see if I can pass normally, and this competition is a touchstone for me. ”

The two were about to leave, and a few people who were talking to them were saying: "Do you know?" Zuoqiu's gambling house has opened a handicap, and the information of the people who have successfully signed up has been compiled into a book, and entered into the jade talisman for sale, we can bet according to our personal preferences, betting on the win or loss of each monk in the later stage, even if we can't participate, as long as we can buy the results of one or two competitions, we can also make a small profit, if we can buy the final winner, then we can spend a huge amount of money, enough to buy any spiritual weapon, Pills, no longer have to worry about spirit stones. ”

Yi Xuan was taken aback when he heard this, and cast an inquiring look at Zhong Liqi, and the other party smiled bitterly: "In order to maintain a huge scale, our five major families naturally have their own industries. This Zuoqiu family is good at running gambling houses, in addition to ordinary dice, pai gow, as well as fighting insects, fighting beasts, like this encounter a large-scale fighting competition, but also will open a handicap with great fanfare, tempting monks to participate. Hasn't Brother Yi ever heard of it?"

Yi Xuan showed a puzzled expression, shook his head and denied: "I have heard about the gambling house, but I have never entered, let alone participated. It sounds very strange, the Zuoqiu family opened a handicap, if many monks guessed the result of the competition, or even if I bought it myself to win, then wouldn't they pay a lot of spirit stones, isn't this a loss-making deal?"

Zhong Liqi opened his mouth wide, stared at Yi Xuan for a long time, sighed and said: "It is estimated that the number of people in the world who can say that the gambling house will lose money will not exceed the number of hands, who doesn't know that this gambling house is doing business without capital, relying on the insatiable psychology of gamblers, as long as you participate, there is no one who will not lose money." It's funny that you're worried that the dealer will lose money...... Ahem......"

The more Zhong Liqi talked, the funnier it became, and in the end, he almost laughed so much that he was angry, which made Yi Xuan a little annoyed: "What's so funny about this, I just think this kind of gambling is extremely inappropriate, and putting the spirit stone on top of this kind of illusory luck really outweighs the loss." I'm not going to get involved in a gambling fight!"

Zhong Liqi relieved himself and said again: "Actually, it's not as serious as you said, everyone enters the gambling house with the mentality of having fun, and only a few people will bet their lives on it." The so-called "small gambling pleasure, big gambling hurting the body"!
