"What!!!!!"
Twelve! Like a thunder explosion, all kinds of fish in the water were startled. People in the wine shop were shocked to stand up, and then fell into silence. Everyone's excitement about winning money today was completely wiped out by these words.
Some people even fell into a daze, muttering to themselves: "Ten...twelve!"
People here know very well what twelve pearls mean. Yuan Cheng and Li Wei, who did some searching yesterday, also know that twelve yuan pearls can be exchanged for immortality pills.
No one knows what immortality means, no one has ever felt it, but a hazy feeling lingers in the hearts of everyone - inexhaustible!
To put it ten thousand steps back, people at the lowest level of Kyushu who don’t even have enough to eat can become rich sooner or later by relying on their accumulated wealth with the Immortality Pill.
No matter how bad your martial arts skills are, if you keep practicing, sooner or later you will become a master and dominate the martial arts world.
The longer you live, the more secrets you will know, and the more things you can accomplish, some of which ordinary people would not even dare to think about.
When viewed from the side, the Eternal Life Pill looks like a person's life has been re-opened, a life full of infinite hope and possibility.
Everyone looked at the gold at their feet and in their arms, and suddenly felt uninterested. What would happen if there was more money? Still unable to reach those dreams that will never come true.
Who doesn’t have dreams?
"Lai...Uncle Lai, you can do whatever you want from now on!"
The voice of the person who asked the question had begun to tremble. He had gone from being treated with small favors to being treated with real respect and a little bit of fear.
The people in the wine shop shrank in the direction of Lai San and became groveling. Everyone was no longer a gambler of the same level.
When had Raizo been so respected in his life? At this moment, he finally experienced the feelings of those in power, the pleasure brought by those rights and power!
If you want your minister to die, you must die!
Isn’t it the king’s land in the whole world?
emperor! emperor!
What hit Laizan's heart was not only the pleasure of those respects, but also the emperor's desire of the Kyushu Dynasty. Only then did he understand why so many people had been competing for this position since ancient times.
It was so refreshing. This feeling made him want to sit on the throne if possible.
How is it impossible?
If you spend enough time to get to know enough people, see enough things, and know enough secrets, you will always have the opportunity to establish a power of your own.
Happily, Laizan felt that his future was bright and all good things were coming towards him.
Everyone around him also felt the rise of Lai San, a little man who was addicted to gambling. Everything stemmed from the twelve Yuan Beads.
Calling for wind and rain, taking life and death, these feelings are endlessly growing in Lai San's heart, and the previous despicableness and lowness have completely disappeared, not even a little space is left.
But countless wishes are beautiful.
Laizan thought this in his heart, and then stopped after thinking...
It was like a general was encouraging the soldiers who were about to go on an expedition. The waving hands happened to reach the most passionate moment. Suddenly, an imperial edict came down and he was deprived of his military power.
Everything about Raizo stopped, his wishes, his ambitions, his fantasies, as well as his body, his heart, and his life.
He fell to the ground without any warning!
The two women next to Lai San didn't know what happened and ran out of the wine shop in fright.
The people gathered around suddenly dispersed, and I don’t know why Laizo suddenly stopped moving.
Although Yuan Cheng and Li Wei were sitting a little further away, they could still easily feel that Lai San died suddenly.
The two of them immediately looked around to feel the changes around them, but found nothing.
When Laizan fell to the ground, two beads fell out of his arms, rolled, rolled, and disappeared.
Li Wei was surprised: "Why did this bead disappear?"
The surrounding gamblers also saw it and dispersed even more widely, some even quietly exited the wine shop.
The person who spoke first replied: "The Yuan Pearl that comes can only be used by yourself, not others. If that person dies, his Yuan Pearl will also disappear!"
"What!!"
Li Wei was once again forced to change his mind, "That is obviously a real thing, not an illusion!"
Looking at the look in Li Wei's eyes, Yuan Cheng couldn't figure out why this was happening.
A brave man turned Laizan over. There were no wounds on his body, and his face was extremely calm, with no sign of pain at all.
Who killed him? Why kill him? How did you kill him?
“Did the casino do it??”
Li Wei knew that Lai San only got three yuan beads yesterday, but today he collected twelve. He could only win them from the casino. Twelve can be exchanged for longevity pills. Nine of them were taken away at once, and the casino No matter how generous you are, you probably can't afford this loss.
"No, if it was done by the casino, why not do it before he came out, but in public?"
Yuan Cheng denied Li Wei's suspicion, but who would offend a man who is a man of the market and has trouble even eating?
"Perhaps, the casino wants to give us a warning and let us know their methods!"
Yuan Cheng thought for a while: "Yes, it is possible! But...?"
Yuan Cheng suddenly thought of a question, looked at the crowd, and asked: "Since the yuan beads you get can only be used by yourself, how can Lai San exchange the immortality pills he won from the casino?"
"This brother looks like he's from outside, right?"
A man in the crowd wearing a short shirt stood up and answered.
"Not bad!" Yuan Cheng admitted generously. This was not a secret that needed to be concealed.
"That's right. No wonder you don't know. Only pawn shops and casinos have a large number of yuan beads. If you want them, you have to exchange them with hours. But no one knows how long a person's life is, so many people don't dare to exchange them. But young people exchange them A few beads are not a problem. In addition to the Immortality Pill, there are many useful things in the grocery store. Moreover, the magical thing about Wanwu Casino is that the Yuan beads won from him can be used by others. Of course, those won by him can also be used by them. You can use it yourself!”
"Casino, grocery store, pawn shop!"
Yuan Cheng thought of these three key points in his mind.
Yuan Cheng was thinking about the relationship between the three, but Li Wei heard something else from the man's words.
"If a person becomes twelve Yuan Pearls at once, and then goes to the grocery store to buy the Immortality Pill, wouldn't it be an infinite cycle? Who is still short of Yuan Pearls?"
"By the way, they don't dare! No one knows how long they will live. It's okay to say how many years they will live, but if it's too long...!"
Li Wei's soliloquy woke up Yuan Cheng who was deep in thought. Yuan Cheng also discovered this problem. At this time, he happened to look at Lai San who was lying on the ground, and a sudden thought made him think of another possibility.
"Perhaps he has reached the end of his life?"
"You mean??"
Li Wei understood immediately. Is it because Lai San has too many hours? Exceeded your own lifespan?
"Doesn't this mean that the pawn shop can really extract people's lifespan?"
When Li Wei and Yuan Cheng first learned about this, they didn't believe that a person's time could really be exchanged, nor did they believe that someone or something could suck away a person's lifespan. They thought it was some not-so-smart trick. but now…………
Laizan fell to the ground, and the Yuanzhu that belonged to him disappeared. Whether it was what he won or what he had earned, it no longer existed. If the bet was done behind the scenes, what could they get?
If you get nothing and kill Laizo in public, who will dare to go to the casino in the future? Neither the money gamblers nor the Yuanzhu gamblers will go there.
From this point of view, it can only be...
Yuan Cheng and Li Wei didn't quite understand, so they looked at each other, got up and left the wine shop, and the people around them gradually dispersed.
After returning to his residence, Li Wei expressed his thoughts: "It's very simple to prove. Let's break into the casino now. Firstly, we can see if anyone is gambling inside at night. Secondly, we can know whether there are any fake people hidden in the casino." scholar!"
Yuan Cheng worried: "If everything that happened before us is real, then there must be a huge force running it all. We may have discovered this pawn shop and casino by chance. There may be places like this in other counties in Kyushu." , it is not a wise move to offend such a huge organization!"
Li Wei said nonchalantly: "It's out of the question to be offended. Just be careful when we do it and don't hurt anyone's life. We can just apologize when the time comes!"
Yuan Cheng said seriously: "So simple? Have you ever thought about why we happened to find it?"
Li Wei: "Isn't that why you have nothing to do?"
Yuan Cheng: "All of this is true. There is only one possibility that such a magical thing has not been widely publicized in Kyushu!"
Li Wei: "Don't you want others to know what this force has done?"
Yuan Cheng: "Yes, since they don't want others to know, they must have their intentions. We broke in suddenly, even if it was unintentional, it is impossible for us to escape unscathed, let alone break into the casino, who can believe it Did we do it unintentionally?”
Li Wei doubted: "So what, even if everything in front of us is fine, the matter of extracting life span may not be true, not to mention who in the world would dare to object to the transaction to be made by the five holy places or forces that exceed them? Why is it so secretive? "
Yuan Cheng raised his eyebrows and said, "Why are the Five Holy Lands called the Five Holy Lands?"
Li Wei frowned and said, "What do you mean?"
Yuan Cheng: "We know that the Five Holy Lands are very strong, but we never know how strong they are and what their upper limit is. What if pawnshops, grocery stores, and casinos are the reason why they are so strong?"
Li Wei was shocked: "Are you saying that the people in the Five Holy Lands all rely on the lifespan of others to become stronger?"
Yuan Cheng: "It's not impossible!"
Li Wei: "But we know a few people from the Five Holy Lands, but none of them..."
Yuan Cheng: “You know people but don’t know their faces, not to mention they may not know the truth!”
Li Wei thought in his mind: "Indeed, the few people they know are just ordinary supervisors. We don't know any of the higher-level people, and we have no way of knowing the secrets!"
Li Wei didn't believe it and said: "If this is the case, we should try our best. Although it is voluntary to change the time, it is too despicable to exploit the common people at the bottom!"
Yuan Cheng: "But what if it's not the Five Holy Lands, not to mention the forces higher than the Five Holy Lands, but the imperial sect? Their private business was discovered by us, and even the Xuanwu Sect Heavenly Palace may not be able to handle such a big thing. Come down here, what’s more, we have just collected a treasure now! You can’t be considered the owner of the Xuanwumen Celestial Palace!”
Li Wei calmed down, "You really can't rush in!"
Some people died, but not completely...
