However, he was not an ordinary person, and he quickly adjusted his mentality and took me all the way around the market, from the introduction of ordinary merchants to the more luxurious Golden Trade Road.
In this luxurious shopping area, there are indeed either high-grade private Taoist wares for sale, or some high-end restaurants and flower shops. I feel that there is a dazzling array of things here, and I am overwhelmed.
Arriving at the front door of a nightclub named Shenxianlou, the manager soon came out to greet us.
The female store manager was a pretty woman about forty years old, as if she was familiar with us. She came over immediately and said: "Mr. Zhu, Mr. Xia, it must have been hard for you two to come all the way. Inside, Fanghua Pavilion has been prepared. Get ready, Miss Xiang has been waiting for you inside for a long time."
I thought about it. It seemed that as soon as Zhu Daoqing entered this market, the undercurrent began to surge, and even our arrival could not cover it up. And he also checked my background by the way.
Zhu Daoqing didn't care about this at all, but said: "My brother-in-law, the Tang family brothers and sisters, and Ling Tianguan will all come. Please prepare more good wine and food, and try to choose the best ingredients."
"Yes, Mr. Zhu." The female store manager was very methodical in her work. And the men around her went to get ready without being asked. Zhu Daoqing and I didn't need to say anything else, we just walked inside to go to the private room in Fanghua Pavilion.
However, outside the private room, there were many gods and guardians gathered together. At each table, they seemed to be talking about something, and they didn't look like they were drinking wine. The woman standing by them didn't look like a prostitute. It's more like serving wine.
Zhu Daoqing seemed to see me being strange, and said with a smile: "Actually, although this is a place of flower wine, not everyone comes here to drink flower wine. At this point, they like the atmosphere more than the woman's body. After all, Whose family is missing a beautiful guardian?"
"What are the maps they studied?" I asked with a frown. There were some strange maps placed on several tables. Because they were densely written, I didn't read the words on them, so I could only ask. Zhu Daoqing.
Zhu Daoqing said oh, and then said: "Haha, how about I ask the store manager to bring one in, and then you will know?"
I thought about it, nodded and said, "That's best."
Entering the Fanghua Pavilion, there was indeed a young female fairy sitting inside, and she was quite quiet and beautiful. This should be Miss Xiang that the female store manager mentioned.
The charming girl with big eyes, Miss Xiang, saw the two of us coming in. She stood up and gave a salute and said: "Xiang Xiang has met Mr. Zhu and Mr. Xia. Mr. Zhu has been gone for a long time, Mr. Xia. You are famous, but you are able to come here, which makes our store prosperous. Hui, and the slave family is honored."
Zhu Daoqing chuckled and said: "You are still well-informed. I didn't say anything, but I knew that Mr. Xia was here. Then he is famous and makes you feel honored. I am here, right?"
"How dare you think like that?" Xiang Xiang explained quickly. Then come over and invite us to sit down.
Since there were six of us, our tables and cushions were arranged in a straight line. As for Xiang, she knelt and sat behind the table in front of us. There was a guqin on the table, which should be the instrument she performed on.
"Play something you're good at. Brother Xia is here for the first time and hasn't heard your music yet. Please help me wait for him." Zhu Daoqing was very familiar with this place, so he immediately gave the order.
Xiang Xiang didn't hesitate. He lightly touched the strings with his jade fingers and started playing immediately.
It is worthy of being an immortal in the sky. The sound of the guqin is melodious and clear, like a spring playing in the green mountains. It is free and easy, making people addicted and unable to extricate themselves. However, I don’t know much about the guqin. Apart from being influenced by it, compared to the sound of the guqin, I He was more interested in her beauty.
Listening to the music, a waitress soon came in with a volume of atlas similar to that of the fairy family outside, and then placed it in front of us obediently. Although Zhu Daoqing was proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, he also quite liked this art. Song, but I know I have no intention of doing this. Now he unfolded the map and explained it to me: "Brother Xia, this is a gambling betting table issued in the market, haha, you didn't expect it, did you?"
"Betting table?" I was stunned for a moment. Zhu Daoqing added: "When some of the more novel things happen in the Divine Court, some big bookmakers will start betting on the handicap. For example, last time you made a big deal with the Supervisor and made it happen on a small scale. Anyway, gambling There are many ways to do it. For example, during this period, didn't the Director of the Equipment Supervisor select? This is the latest introduction to the qualifications of the immortals participating in the competition. The one who guesses correctly is considered the winner, and the one who guesses incorrectly does not qualify, the bet will be It’s all in vain!”
"I see, I don't know much about Chinese characters, so I asked my brother to introduce it to me." I said quickly. Although I wasn't very interested in this gamble, it was another way to understand the selection ceremony. How could I not Check?
Moreover, the odds of betting often indirectly reflect the strength of the opponent. As the saying goes, if you know yourself and the enemy, you will never be defeated in a hundred battles. This is also a good opportunity to help Han Shanshan understand the enemy!
"Are you really interested? Okay!" Zhu Daoqing looked at me seriously. Seeing me nodding, he could only explain: "There are so many places to participate here that I can't even count them. It must be at least several thousand, but according to the above The level area map is divided into several parts. For example, those with high Taoist grades or those with great reputations are ranked on the first level. There will be more gods betting on them. Of course, you won't get much if you win. At most, it’s just the capital plus some water, mostly just to watch the fun, and the next few levels from the first level will gradually increase the odds. If you guess the fairy family below, you will win. And if you guess it right, you will pay. The rate is high. Look at the second level, isn’t it doubled? The third level is tripled, and the fourth level list is doubled again!”
"The odds are high, but that doesn't mean that the Immortal Family on the fourth and fifth floors have no hope of winning?" I asked quickly.
"Yes, they have people in the weapons department. They all know the strength of the immortals who signed up. Otherwise, how would they make this ladder list? As you can see, basically the immortals on the fourth and fifth levels are All of them are of extremely low Taoist order. Apart from joining in the fun, you basically can’t win, right? Of course, it’s possible that someone with good luck will stand out, but brother Xia, don’t just look at the odds. Think about it, although The odds on the fifth level are several times higher, but what are the chances of winning? It’s very likely that all the money will be wasted!” Zhu Daoqing saw me staring at the map. I thought I wanted to bet on the one with the highest odds.
I smiled and said, "Let me see what rank the girl Han Shanshan and Han brought here is in line."
"Okay, I'll look for it for you. I've never seen someone like you who is not very illiterate but has become a third-grade official. By the way, I will ask my brother-in-law to take you to the large Taoist artifacts in the Xiyan main hall. This thing It will help you quickly master the ancient sayings of the Divine Court." Zhu Daoqing said while starting to look for Han Shanshan's name.
Perhaps because Han Shanshan was only in the sixth level when she signed up, her name was not included in the first and second tiers.
I was immediately overjoyed, and Zhu Daoqing seemed to have also seen a business opportunity, and quickly lowered his voice and said: "Brother Xia, it seems that we are going to get rich."
"Did you find it?" I asked quickly, and Zhu Daoqing nodded: "It's in the third echelon. But the evaluation is still quite high, and it is on the first candidate list of the third echelon."
"Oh? Is she the first one?" I asked quickly, Zhu Daoqing hummed, and then said: "There are more than 1,800 immortals, and there are three games. In the first game, there are 120 people left, and in the second game, there are 120 people left. The bottom 30 places, and there are only three left in the third round. With the three of them meditating on the Star Box together, are you sure that Miss Han can qualify?"
"There is no problem with the designation in the first game. She slipped through the net, and now she is a fourth-level Taoist body." I said through the voice transmission. After hearing this, Zhu Daoqing was dumbfounded. He was a neat and tidy person, and he quickly gritted his teeth. : "I will hand over my private money to you later, and you can help me place the bet. After all, we, young masters from aristocratic families, don't dare to be too public and bet so big. You will take the blame. If the time comes, it will be mine if I lose, and I will take the points if I win." Half of you!”
"Hey, it's a deal. You've smashed this pie into my mouth. How can I not eat it?" I secretly thought that Zhu Daoqing is indeed a person who does big things, and this benefit is natural. And Han Shanshan was recommended by me. I bet on her. It's natural, so it's the best to take the blame.
