Li Wei and Yuan Cheng both took a breath at the same time. It was not that they were frightened by Zhang Feng's strange appearance, but that the answer greatly exceeded their psychological bottom line, and the world was completely collapsed.
Work at sunrise and rest at sundown. This is a very normal rule for ordinary people. It is not strange for others or yourself to live like this. However, if a person hides at home during the day and does something at night, then It will surprise most people.
What can you do when you go out at night? It's probably not a good thing. This is the first recognition of most people. Even if you do something that has nothing to do with other people, even if you do something to help others, you will be suspected.
Working at sunrise and working at sundown are both within the normal range and are not against common sense.
But when you learn that a person works from sunrise to sunset, what do you think?
Is this person crazy?
But what if he does this for a long time?
He doesn't want his life?
What if this happens every day?
Another question will arise at this time.
How he did it, it's impossible for an ordinary person's body to bear it.
At this time, the question itself changes from a strange behavior to a search for the reason or answer.
Why can he do it? How did he do it? Can I do it too?
Curiosity is a strange psychological activity, but most people’s uncontrollable curiosity mostly comes from interests. The interests behind a thing that may be brought to them by the secret are the fundamental reason for people to pursue answers. If this If something is dangerous, avoiding it is the choice for most people.
There is indeed some risk in exchanging time, but people in the entire town don't know martial arts, or their martial arts are not high. This risk is too low for Yuan Cheng and Li Wei. Even if the forces behind these transactions are very powerful, as long as they can get enough With so many benefits, it may not be a big problem to offend them at this time.
The key to everything is how great the benefits can be.
Money and power are the interests that many people pursue and are the answers behind many things. This will not surprise anyone, but if it exceeds this limit, it will surprise, shock, and even subvert and collapse.
The exchange of time and immortality pill obviously goes beyond common sense and has a great impact on ordinary people, surpassing anything else, including the pursuit of money and interests, and its importance far exceeds money and power.
But this is just an increase in quantity, just like eating one steamed bun versus eating a dozen steamed buns. Although the expectations are high, you can still think clearly and won't have any strange thoughts.
But when the past life, this life, and the next life are put in front of them, the whole world is different. Li Wei and Yuan Cheng felt this way at this time. Their previous cognitions were like layers of fog, and a brand new world A strange world appeared in front of them. The immaturity of their youth was gone, and the coming sense of calm touched their hearts again.
Illusion, everything is illusion. Li Wei and Yuan Cheng felt that everything in Xu Shi was a dream, an illusory world. At this time, they finally found the true meaning of this world.
"Walk!"
At this moment, they threw away the worries and suspicions in their hearts and decided to take the gamble at all costs, even if the front was a dragon's pond and a tiger's den.
Seeing that the two of them had made up their minds, Zhang Feng stopped them instead.
"Don't worry, you two. The method of gambling on Yuanzhu is very different from the method of gambling in the outer hall. Can you also guarantee a guaranteed win?"
Li Wei said confidently: "Any gambling method is guaranteed to win!"
Yuan Cheng: "How to bet?"
Zhang Feng pushed open the door inside, "This is why I brought you here. I copied one of their gambling equipment in private. Can you two see if you are sure of winning?"
"oh!?"
Li Wei and Yuan Cheng walked into the house. The walls were made of square bricks and were in a square shape. There was only a table in the middle, covered with a red cloth. I didn't know what was hidden underneath. The red cloth was held up high.
Zhang Feng took away the red cloth and revealed something inside, something that looked familiar but had no idea what it was called.
A box made of bronze is divided into several lanes. Each lane is filled with a transparent liquid. You can't tell what it is. There is a long stick in the middle of the top of the box, which holds up the red cloth.
On the left side of the box are written one to twelve in order, and below are written the three characters large, medium and small from left to right. There are two red lines on both sides of the middle character to separate the three characters.
There is also a short section extending horizontally from the upright stick, in the shape of a semi-circle, with a small steel ball parked on it.
Li Wei and Yuan Cheng always felt that they had seen this thing before, but they just couldn't remember it. If it was a gambling tool, they had never seen such a gambling method.
Li Wei: "How to bet on this?"
Zhang Feng: "This is a replica of mine. It's far less refined than the one in the casino, but it probably means the same thing!"
After speaking, Zhang Feng flicked his finger, and the steel ball gently slid down the semicircular tube and fell into one of the tunnels. After being completely wrapped in the liquid, it slid inside for a while before stopping.
Zhang Feng pointed to the number on the left, then pointed to the words below, and said: "These are the six majors!"
Yuan Cheng and Li Wei took a closer look and already understood that the steel ball was in the sixth row, leaning to the far left, so it was the sixth largest.
"Just betting on where the steel ball will land, the number and size?"
"Yes, it's actually similar to dice betting, except that there are more changes and it's harder to be manipulated!"
"How is it? Can you control it?"
Li Wei nodded, "No problem, if you do it again, it will still be the top six!"
After hearing this, Zhang Feng put the steel ball back and deliberately flicked his finger in the other direction with much greater force.
After the steel ball slipped, it seemed as if it was blown by the wind, deviating from the direction in which it was ejected, and immediately stopped sliding when it fell into the liquid, and its position happened to be Liuda.
Zhang Feng was shocked: "How did you do it? For so many years, many people have failed to study the secrets and control techniques, but you succeeded in one go!"
Li Wei: "This is the magic of martial arts!"
Seeing that Li Wei didn't elaborate, Zhang Feng didn't ask further questions. He covered the red cloth back and said, "Okay, shall we set off now?"
"good!"

Mixing nine completely different substances into one requires extremely high patience and toughness, and extracting the essence requires extremely high temperatures. It is almost an impossible task for an alchemist, but for Long Yunlai Said that these are not the key. During the process of refining the alchemy, Long Yun calmed down. Although his growth time is not short, he has been in Taoism for less than a year. In the past few months, he has done too much.
During the process of refining the alchemy, it was very quiet, and no one around him dared to approach the room, giving Long Yun time and opportunity to think.
In the several battles in and out of Jianghu, Long Yun was basically killing others. It was rare for someone to have the opportunity to fight evenly matched or fall into a passive and hard fight.
From the perspective of others, this is a good thing. Who doesn’t want to be invincible and have no rivals?
But Long Yun felt a trace of illusion, everything was like a castle in the air, not so real. If it weren't for Qingcheng and his party, this feeling would be even stronger.
Looking at the Destiny Great Return Pill that was fused at extremely high temperatures, Long Yun touched the bell in his arms again.
He thought of a good way to not only guard against those monsters, but also make his illusory dream more real. 33
Many people are afraid of dreams, afraid of the changes in dreams, and afraid of the terror in dreams. No one knows the origin of dreams, and they are afraid of not being able to tell which one is reality. Is it a dream? Or waking up from a dream?
Long Yun is not afraid. Whatever he is in reality, he will still be in his dream. No matter which side is real, he can become the person deep in his heart.
Therefore, even in a dream, he will take this dream very seriously and make this dream a real life.
Five light spots suddenly appeared in Long Yun's room. Unlike sunlight, these light spots were not dazzling, but they blocked the deflected sunlight. The room disappeared due to the brightness of the sunlight. All that could be seen in the whole room was this. Light from five points of light.
Golden yellow, russet, dark blue, very red, light gray.
These five colored light spots floated in mid-air, then surrounded Long Yun in the middle, penetrated into Long Yun's body little by little, and disappeared.
Long Yun's appearance remains the same, but his state has changed greatly. He has become weaker, but more real.
After consuming more than half of the materials, he made seventeen destiny-returning elixirs. Long Yun was not very satisfied with this result, but he could accept it. After all, it was his first time refining elixirs.
Long Yun put away the elixir and walked out of the room. It had been seventeen days since November was approaching the end of the month. The coldness hit his face and Long Yun completely broke out of his half-dream and half-awake state.
Seeing the soul and soul shadow guarding the door, Long Yun knew that they had something to tell him.
"What's wrong?"
"My lord, I have something to do and I have to leave!"
"Oh? Is it because of Jade?"
"yes!"
"okay, I get it!"
Long Yun was a little disappointed, and the original joy of the completion of the pill was slightly reduced, but he was still very happy. After all, his efforts these days were successful.
………………
Under the leadership of Zhang Feng, Yuan Cheng and Li Wei easily entered Room 6 of the Wanwu Casino. Zhang Feng did not bring many yuan beads, but they were also quite a few, a full ten. Compared with the broken gold and silver outside, this It's a huge gamble.
Different from the side hall Li Wei imagined, room No. 6 is very large inside, almost the same as the hall outside, giving people a very strong feeling, as if the hall outside is actually a cover-up.
Although the sizes are similar, the decoration inside is completely different. In addition to the gems inlaid on the walls, the dozens of chairs facing the gambling table are all made of animal skins. The mahogany carvings on the large gambling table It is meticulous and meticulous, and at first glance it even feels like an eternal atmosphere.
Galloping beasts, huge unicorns, Xuanwu roaring up to the sky, and phoenixes falling everywhere, inch by inch, covered the side of the table, which was as clean as jade, with the strange gambling equipment placed on it.
Li Wei immediately weighed the value of this table, which was much higher than the gems on the wall. No matter what kind of wood the table was made of, the carving skills alone were unparalleled in the world. Who could it be? Where is the hand?
"Guests, please!"
Li Wei and Yuan Cheng came to the table, and a few boys neatly placed thirty-six boxes on the table. The boxes had no lids, and bright red characters were written on the bottom, from small, medium, large to twelve.
"I am the banker of room six. The box below is the betting point. If you guess correctly, you will pay double, if you guess not, you will receive Yuanzhu. Do you understand?"
Li Wei: "In this case, don't you have thirty-five to yourself?"
"No, no, you can bet on one box or all of them. We won't stop you. You can also just bet on the size and the number of words, but you can only pay one for each!"
"What do you mean two for one?"
"If you bet two yuan beads, I'll pay you one, and if you bet one, haha, it's still one!"
Li Wei secretly smacked his tongue, as expected, he was eating people without spitting out the bones. Calculated in this way, if you bet three, you would pay one, and if you bet five, you would lose two. Not only was the profit very low, but he also had to bear nearly 70% of the risk.
"How many people? Do you want to specify the word count or size?"
"No, let's go to the independent high school!"
"This is me!"
Zhang Feng stood in front of the table, waiting for the two men's instructions. Only when the Yuanzhu was in his hand could he take it out for gambling.
Li Wei: "Six big ones!"
Zhang Feng thought for a while and instead of going all-in, he made three bets first.
"Okay, let's buy it and leave!"
The banker flicked the steel ball, and although the direction of its fall was a little off, it still accurately landed on the far left side of the six pits.
"Sixth! Hit!"
The dealer shouted reluctantly, and a boy came to Zhang Feng carrying a brocade box with three yuan beads in it.
Zhang Feng looked at Li Wei and Yuan Cheng. According to the previous agreement, it was divided into 50 and 50. Yuanzhu could not be divided, and no one could take one more Yuanzhu. Should this bet continue?
Yuan Cheng said without hesitation: "Continue, it's still the Sixth Great!"
Zhang Feng suppressed all the Yuan beads he brought this time. If he won, he would take five Yuan beads and exchange them for the Immortality Pill.
"Okay, let's buy it and leave!"
Some people died, but not completely...
