Diao Xiaosi was attacked by Yingyang Ancestor in the city, and the news of vomiting blood and being seriously injured immediately spread throughout the streets and alleys of Chang'an City. The casino suddenly boiled, and all the handicaps soared from one to twenty to one to thirty, and some people even offered one to forty.
At this moment, Diao Xiaosi was lying on his big bed, thinking about the losses of this battle, and he really wanted to cry without tears.
An earth escape talisman, a heavenly thunder splitting talisman, a hundred ghost nocturnal talismans, eighteen ecstasy flowers, plus the python sea magic bowl with great loss of aura, the little family wealth that he had worked so hard to accumulate was wiped out by the old demon of Yingyang.
It's all my own article, one or two taels, and I got up early in the morning to find the hard-earned money of the black pit and abduction, and I almost put my life into it.
"Your kid is lucky, the meridians and bones of his legs are not broken. Ye Fashan sat cross-legged on the bed, and while pushing the Blood Palace for him, he said: "After ten days and a half of rest, you can do it with people again." β
Diao Xiaosi said weakly: "It's not fair, the person was killed by Xiao San, and you were also there, why did it end up being Lao Tzu who was lying on the bed?"
Ye Fashan said leisurely: "Who made your cultivation as stinky as your feet, of course the persimmon has to pick up the soft pinch." β
Diao Xiaosi snorted angrily: "Lao Tzu washes every day, I don't believe you smell it." He raised his left foot and imprinted it on Ye Fashan's fat face.
Ye Fashan knocked his left leg off with a "snap", and asked, "Try it, is there anything wrong with your body?"
Diao Xiaosi squinted his eyes and groaned comfortably: "Old Dao, your massage skills are good." I'm still a little sore in my waist, can you press it a little longer?"
Ye Fashan didn't say anything, and his hand pinched Diao Xiaosi's waist and eyes violently.
Diao Xiaosi screamed so badly that he almost jumped from the bed to the beam of the room, and shouted with a mouthful of cold air: "Old thief, if Lao Tzu is paralyzed, he will lie at the door of your Taoist temple every day and not leave!"
Ye Fashan was stunned, and then asked, "Do you still think something is wrong now?"
Seeing Diao Xiaosi close his mouth and protest silently to himself with angry eyes, Ye Fashan got out of bed shaking his wrinkled robe and said, "Three thousand taels of wages, one thousand taels of medicine, are you cashing in or making an IOU?"
Diao Xiaosi replied angrily: "Did Lao Tzu invite you to come?"
Ye Fashan nodded and said, "It's simple, I'll beat you back to your original form and promise not to receive a penny." β
Diao Xiaosi looked like he was at home, and said: "Dignity is precious, but the price of a small life is even higher;
Ye Fashan smiled and took out a silver ingot from his cuff and said, "What our two heroes see is slightly the same. Poor Dao's favorite is also silver, and he prefers to hold the silver in his hand when he has nothing to do, so ...... So pinched...... Rub it like this twiceβ"
As he spoke, the ingot of silver in his hand was kneaded and kneaded like dough, and at one moment it became twisted, and then it became a baked cake.
Diao Xiaosi saw that his bones were crispy and cold, and he completely dispelled the idea of seeing death as home, licked his dry lips and said, "Two thousand, one price, no need to discount!"
Ye Fashan was also refreshed, put away the silver and opened the door. Xia Peiheng and the others had been waiting outside the house for a long time, and when they saw this, they hurriedly asked: "Immortal Ye Chang, how is the injury to Mr. Diao's dart, but it can still catch up with the duel the day after tomorrow?"
Ye Fashan sat down on the chair with a grin, took the wine gourd and took a sip and said, "Yes, as long as he wants to die." β
Xia Peiheng frowned and said, "How is this good?" Shen Xuan Xuan said again: "Or postpone the day of the duel by half a month, I think Duan Zhentian will not refuse." β
Wan'er said: "Even if it is postponed for half a year or a year...... The fourth uncle is not Duan Zhentian's opponent!"
When Li Jing arrived, Diao Xiaosi became angry when he saw this guy, squinted his eyes and said, "Little San, didn't you say that the old demon Yingyang couldn't come to trouble me for a while?"
Li Jing said lightly: "This seems to be last month, right?"
Diao Xiaosi choked, and saw Li Jing walk to the side of the bed and hold down his left wrist for a moment, then let go of his hand and said, "What do you think about what will happen in two days?"
Diao Xiaosi was entangled with himself, thinking of hundreds of thousands of white flowers, he couldn't wait to immediately dig up the ancestral grave of Yingyang Ancestor and turn it upside down, but now with the little belongings left on hand and the body bones that are being overhauled, what else can he take out to play with Duan Zhentian?
Geng Nanyi frowned and persuaded: "Little fourth brother, your injury this time is not necessarily a bad thing. Zheng Ke took this opportunity to withdraw from the duel without losing face, and there was no need to fight with Duan Zhentian senselessly. To be honest, even three-year-old children in Chang'an City now bet on Duan Zhentian to win. β
Although Diao Xiaosi was not convinced, he was helpless, and said bitterly: "Damn, my face didn't hurt Lao Tzu's silver, but it hurt very much." "Thinking about the thousand taels of silver ticket that I impulsively bet at noon today, it hurts even more.
Wan'er saw that Diao Xiaosi was silent, so she said: "Grandpa is right, even if you want to fight for our dart game, you have to do what you can." Since the news of your injury spread, the handicap of the whole Chang'an casino has been raised to 40 to 1, I heard that because of the fear that you will quit, there are many casinos that have closed or simply opened a handicap of 50 to one, so as not to lose all your money. β
"Forty for one...... And one to pay fifty?" Diao Xiaosi was skeptical, looked around at everyone and asked, "Really?"
Yu Linglong, Geng Shaohua, Yi Bai, Geng Nanyi and the others nodded in unison, and Wan'er added: "This means that in the eyes of everyone, you don't even have the slightest chance of winning. β
After saying this, she saw that Diao Xiaosi's eyes were shining like never before, and the ten fingers of both hands were quickly calculating, and she didn't know what she was making up with words in her mouth.
Wan'er chuckled in her heart and secretly screamed that it was not good: "Oh no, how did I forget that this guy is as greedy for money as his life, and when he hears that there is money to be made, he can do any crazy thing." β
Suddenly, Diao Xiaosi's expression was solemn, his tone was slow and tragic, and he said: "It is not my generation's action to be cowardly and greedy, and to be afraid of death, in order not to humiliate the dart game, and not to let the world laugh at me, I will be able to pass through no one, I decided to throw my head and spill blood to fight to the death, and defend my dignity with blood and courage!"
"Poof-" The mouthful of wine that Ye Fashan had just drunk into his mouth suddenly spurted out, and he coughed repeatedly.
Geng Shaohua didn't know what was going on, and secretly admired: "It's worthy of being the brother of the Red Hero, I'm afraid that I will also be afraid to retreat." He was moved at the moment: "Little Fourth Uncle, why are you suffering?"
Diao Xiaosi didn't have time to be moved, he was busy thinking: "Lao Tzu still has a death talisman on his body, it shouldn't be a big problem to save his life." Duan Laogou, if you don't play with you, how can you be worthy of the 1,000 taels of silver tickets?"
Thinking of the belongings he had just lost, and the money he could earn in case he won the bet, he resolutely said: "You don't need to persuade me anymore, I have made up my mind!"
Li Jing bowed his head slightly and said, "I'll give you something." Turning his hand outstretched, a silver-red flower string in his palm slipped into Diao Xiaosi's hand, and the "ding" sound was crisp, but I don't know what kind of gold and iron it was forged.
"These are the twelve step-by-step lotus," Li Jing said: "Although it is only a six-grade secret weapon, it is the secret of the Tang Sect in Shuzhong." As long as you use it properly, there may be surprises. β
Diao Xiaosi didn't expect Li Jing to be so righteous, so he changed his mind and said: "Most likely, this guy knows that Lao Tzu has just suffered on his behalf, so his conscience found that he used these twelve step-by-step lotuses to compensate Lao Tzu." β
Xia Peiheng is most afraid that Diao Xiaosi will withdraw from the battle, which will greatly affect the credibility of the dart bureau, which is a big taboo in dart.
Now hearing that he promised to fight Duan Zhentian to the death, the big stone in his heart finally let go, and said with a smile: "Mr. Diao's loyalty and courage are really the blessings of our dart game." Whenever you need it, we will do our best to help you do it. β
Wan'er stopped doing it, and said angrily: "He is injured like this, how do you let him fight?"
Unexpectedly, Ye Fashan said: "If Xiao Diao really wants to fight this battle, Poor Dao may be able to make him become a vigorous tiger within two days...... Well, the dragon spirit is fierce. β
Diao Xiaosi perked up and asked, "Old Dao, do you have any good ideas?"
Ye Fashan said confidently: "I happen to have a few 'Yuyang Peiyuan Pills' given by Senior Brother Sun here, as long as you take one for each of the two consecutive days, you can not only heal from your injuries but also adjust your body to peak condition." β
Diao Xiaosi knew that Ye Fashan's fourth senior brother was Sun Simiao, who was known as the world's first miracle doctor, presumably this was not a lie, and couldn't help but rejoice: "Then why don't you take it out quickly?"
Ye Fashan took out a small black porcelain bottle from his cuff, shook it in his hand and made a "ding" sound, and said slowly: "10,000 taels of silver, no discount." β
Diao Xiaosi said angrily: "Why don't you go and rob the bank?"
Ye Fashan smiled and said, "Do you know what Senior Brother Lu Dao Sun's nickname is-'Qianjinfang'." One of his prescriptions can be sold for a thousand taels of gold, and the elixir he refined by himself is only 10,000 taels for you, and it is already sold at a loss in front of acquaintances. If you are still too expensive, you can go to the cross slope with a limp. β
Diao Xiaosi stared at the small porcelain bottle in Ye Fashan's hand and said, "What if this medicine doesn't work?"
Ye Fashan thought for a while and said, "It's okay, it's cheap for you." Didn't you gamble 100,000 taels of silver with Duan Zhentian? If you win, you will be divided into 40,000 taels, and if you lose, I don't want to give you a penny for nothing. β
Diao Xiaosi glared at Ye Fashan and said, "I turned my head in a blink of an eye, are you a little fat sheep when Lao Tzu is a little sheep?"
Ye Fashan smiled: "Don't you still owe two thousand taels to the poor Dao, how about we write it off?"
"Deal!" Thinking that even if he won Duan Zhentian, he would have to cut out 40,000 taels of silver to the thief Lao Dao, Diao Xiaosi's heart was dripping blood, and he said hatefully: "I'll let you go to the Daoist Temple to raise Xiao Dao Gu!"
Li Jing shook his head disapprovingly, and suddenly he seemed to notice something, and slowly stood up and walked out of the noisy room.
Outside the courtyard, Chai Shao and a beautiful young woman had just crossed the threshold - she was here.
The eyes of the three people met unexpectedly, Li Jing's sword eyebrows inadvertently raised slightly, and the heavens and the earth fell silent, but his heart seemed to be boiling like a tsunami.
