Chapter 55: The Gambling
There are no stars tonight, the lonely moon hangs high, and the jade plate-like moon exudes a light like water, shining on the dark world in the small space.
In a deserted wood, there was a burning fire, crackling matches bursting, and pale yellow hot flames continued to rise from the pyre.
A barbecue grill was set up above the fire, and three pheasants forked by bamboo sticks were roasted on the grill, and the temperature of the flame constantly turned the two sides of the roast chicken over and over the flame.
When the roast chicken was about seven years old, Yang Hao rubbed his hands, and with a smile on his face, he took out some bottles and cans of powder from the storage ring and sprinkled them on it.
A few drops of golden ghee seeped out of the roast chicken in Yang Hao's tumbling hand, dripping on the fire, and the fat quickly evaporated with a smack, exuding an extremely fragrant taste.
This fragrance made Wu Yan and Hongjiao on the side drool.
"Uh-huh!" Smelling the crispy roast chicken in his hand, Yang Hao nodded with satisfaction.
Immediately, he handed the two roast chickens to the greedy Hongjiao and Wu Yan.
At first, because the red makeup was rubbed with healing herbs on his body, his eyebrows were slightly wrinkled and he ate slowly, but after seeing the speed at which Yang Hao and Wu Yan devoured it, he was afraid that the other party would come to grab it, and immediately ignored the slight pain on his body, so he opened his mouth and took a big bite.
After a while, Yang Hao patted his belly, stretched his waist, looked at the moon hanging in the sky, and his eyes were a little confused.
"If only it were in Huaxia!"
"Huaxia?" Red Makeup was a little puzzled, glanced at Yang Hao and asked.
"Where is Huaxia?
"It's my hometown, but it's far, far away from here!" After a little silence, Yang Hao, who looked a little embarrassed, gave an answer.
Nodding his red jade fingers, he brushed aside a strand of hair on his forehead, looked at Yang Hao, who was in a daze, and whispered.
"Well, after this competition is over, Yang Hao, will you leave?" blushed, as if he still felt a little shy.
The moonlight is like water, under the illumination of the firelight, the pretty face with red makeup shines like a blooming flower, and the delicate beauty of the shy flowers in the closed moon can't help but make Wu Yan on the side stunned, but when he heard the words of the red makeup clearly, he shook his head bitterly for a long time before reluctantly retracting his gaze.
"Yes, I'll leave as soon as I'm done with Granny Wu. With his brows lowered, his eyes swept over the different expressions of the two, and he sighed in his heart and said in a rather firm tone.
As soon as the words came out, the red makeup's face changed, and there was an extremely obvious depression on the pretty face, but as soon as Wu Yan raised his face, a smile rose.
The firewood continued to burst into a burst of explosion, but no one spoke, and there was a different kind of silence on the scene.
"That's right! Where is this Qilian Mountain?" Yang Hao suddenly spoke, breaking the quiet road.
"Qilian Mountain is the most central area of the small space!And that place is where this trial ends" After glancing in a certain direction, Red Makeup spoke again.
"Count the time! Three days at most,"
"Three days later, a spatial black hole will appear in the sky above the peak of Qilian Mountain, exactly the same as when we came!"
"Now the token can't be used!..."Red Makeup bit her lip and said with some embarrassment.
"Then I only have three days to find Ao Feng and get the Wood Spirit, right?" Yang Hao smiled faintly, and finished adding the unfinished words of the red makeup in one go.
"Do you really want that Wood Spirit, I heard that it gave birth to spiritual intelligence, and it is extremely dangerous, and you have to face Ao Feng" The red makeup's face became solemn, obviously disapproving of Yang Hao's decision.
"No way! Whoever stands in my way, I've got to get it. Yang Hao's tone was very flat, even a bit like a simple greeting between friends, but the two people present knew how much power there was in it.
"I can help you!" Wu Yan suddenly broke the silence and said slowly.
"Help me?" Yang Hao's expression changed for Wu Yan's sudden opening, and he was a little surprised in his heart.
You must know that this Wu Yan has always been a little hostile to himself since he appeared in this small space competition for some reasons.
"I have some contacts with the people from other sub-pavilions, and they have also been plundered by Ao Feng and them, and when you go up to Qilian Mountain to face Ao Feng and them alone, it will naturally be very tricky. ”
"So we can help you bring them together, so that you have a lot less stress and you don't have to face dozens of people alone. ”
"Well, that's good! Thank you, Brother Wuyan. Yang Hao felt that this was a feasible plan when he heard this, and thanked him politely.
"We all represent the Southern Imperial City, and you also saved my life and Red Makeup, so we naturally have to help with this kind of thing. Wu Yan smiled and responded cheerfully.
"That's right, we naturally have to help," Red Makeup resolutely agreed.
Yang Hao smiled slightly and nodded gently, and then the three of them chatted lightly under the moonlight and fire.
.......
This small space is not very large, and compared to the extremely vast world of the Tianxuan Continent, it is undoubtedly the ratio of nine cows to one dime.
The people of the Southwest Auction Pavilion had specially calculated that the ratio of the time flow rate between this small space and the Tianxuan Continent was about 20 days to a day.
Then Yang Hao and the others entered the small space for seven or eight hours, and the directors of the sub-pavilions who were waiting outside only waited for half a day.
On the stone platform, many of the principals were idle and bored, and began to talk boringly.
However, this is mainly the ranking of the team of this medicine collection competition, coincidentally, the first place among many people is undoubtedly Harbour City, which has been won for several consecutive years, also because of the poor results for several consecutive years, and the ranking of the South Imperial City is always ranked behind.
This made Granny Wu's eyebrows stand upside down, and after the old face twitched constantly, she roared a few times with a displeased face, and then then brushed her sleeves and left.
Pushing aside some of the crowded crowds, Oba looked at Granny Wu's somewhat deflated appearance, his heart was dark, his eyebrows raised, his hands wrapped around his chest, and he walked straight towards Granny Wu.
"Tsk, it seems that this year's ranking of the Southern Imperial City is probably behind again!" Oba had a sly smile on his face, and his tone was extremely disdainful when he talked about the Southern Imperial City.
"Get out of here, you old bastard, this mother-in-law doesn't have time to talk to you!"
"Our Southern Imperial City's results this year must be no worse than your Harbour City!" Granny Wu didn't look at the arrogant Oba and said in a cold language.
"Don't worry, don't worry!" Oba didn't change his face, glanced at the spatial black hole that had been sealed by the space charm for a long time, and turned his head and said.
"Since my mother-in-law has confidence in her heart, how about we make a bet?"
"How to gamble?" said Granny Wu with a slight frown.
"It's simple, let's not look at the others, just look at who of our two sub-teams picks more medicine, who wins, how about you?"
"Don't hide it, what is this gambling money?" Granny Wu said unceremoniously when she heard this.
"Let's bet on what will happen to the items distributed by the General Cabinet next time! Whoever loses will give the next year's auction items with both hands. Oba held out his thumb and looked at him with a different kind of meaning.
Seeing that Oba was a little yin and damaged, Granny Wu's eyes were on fire, and she was extremely angry in her heart.
Granny Wu knew that if she lost the bet this time, there would be no good items auctioned in the Southern Imperial City next year, and the profits handed over to the Southwest General Pavilion would be greatly unsatisfactory.
In the past few years, the people above have been very unhappy, if the profits of the next year are not ideal, then the head of the Nanhuang Pavilion Auction Pavilion is afraid that he will have to be replaced.
"Hahaha! You old guy is waiting for the old body here! It seems that if you don't bring down my business in the Southern Imperial City, I'm afraid you won't stop!"
"Do you remember if I hadn't rescued you, your bones would have turned to powder. ”
"And you have served me for decades in the saddle and behind me, so that I can recommend you to be the head of Harbour City. ”
"Unexpectedly, I didn't see clearly that you are such a wolf ambition beast, as soon as you took office, you obstructed my Southern Imperial City in every way, and set traps in the medicine collection competition to lure my team to fail. ”
"You're a vile and shameless old bastard!"
Granny Wu pointed to Oba's nose and scolded angrily, and her voice was so loud that the surrounding branch chiefs were stunned, and they immediately surrounded them as if they were lively.
After listening carefully to Granny Wu's words, the people present whispered with some contempt.
In the face of the reprimand, Oba's face turned blue and red, and his breathing did not live up to his previous calmness, panting heavily, and yelling with a fierce look in his eyes.
"Hmph, don't talk about these old things! Then you just wait for the business of the Southern Imperial City to rot in front of you, the old immortal!"
"Slow! The old body is betting with you!" Granny Wu stopped Oba's footsteps with a pale face, stretched out her somewhat old palm, and said coldly to Oba with her palm.
"You think my Southern Imperial City is not as good as you!"
"Huh?" Oba was a little stunned and immediately showed an extremely hypocritical smile on his face, completely ignoring some rumors around him, clenched his fist, and stretched out his palm as well.
"Snap" two palms slapped, and the gambling game was officially established.
"Okay, then it's up to who kills the deer this time. Oba smiled sheepishly.
Sikong Xingxing on the other side opened his eyes and had no interest in the gambling game here, sensing a slight vibration sound from the space talisman, and after a little puzzled look, he immediately closed his eyes again.
