"Nine...eight...seven...six...five..." The green-eyed fox counted down and winked at Aguan.
"Haha, gambling like this is fun!" Aguan laughed. It turned out that the green-eyed fox stall allowed each spirit to use its own abilities to cast spells to compete with the dice points.
"Three...two...one!" the vixen shouted, and at the same time he opened his hand, purple mist filled the air, enveloped the ten wooden cups, and the sound of the dice in the wooden cups suddenly stopped. The vixen shouted again: "Open--" The ten wooden cups turned back at the same time, revealing the dice underneath.
"One, two, three, four, five, six, five, four, three, two." The green-eyed fox read out the dice numbers in order, and a little follower on the side held the pieces of paper that everyone bet on, which one will lose. The monsters were eliminated one by one.
"Master Aguan is in custody!" The little follower announced the piece of paper, and it turned out that Mr. Aguan was in custody.
"Huh?" Aguan was very surprised, and the other vixens had already protested: "Green Eyes, it was you who tampered with it, right?"
"How can the banker interfere?"
"It's not fair!"
"Okay, okay, I'll share my candy with you!" Aguan laughed, and then he realized that when the green-eyed fox cast a spell to open the wooden cup, he secretly changed the points and deliberately let himself win.
Aguan distributed the candy on his body to everyone, and everyone was happy.
I visited a few more gambling stalls, and the monsters each had their own gambling methods. Some only roll one dice and let everyone bet on the number; others roll five or six dice at a time to see who has the lower number.
Aguan was walking around, but he saw the toad leaning lifelessly against a tree and sighing. When he walked over and asked, he found out that the toad had lost all its candies and couldn't get any from the other spirits. He felt sad.
Aguan couldn't bear to see it, so he asked Sixth Po for some candies and gave them to the toad. Then the toad laughed happily and clapped his hands.
Everyone played lively for a while, and those who were not interested in gambling helped Green Bee with the cooking.
"Stop playing, stop playing, come and eat!" Liu Po went upstairs and shouted.
Artest was also tired from playing, so he stood up with his knees up, threw two large buckets of candy into the sky, and shouted: "Everyone, eat, let's celebrate our triumphant return in the evening in advance!"
"Triumphant return--"
"Well said!"
The fairies cheered and reached out to catch the falling candy.
The table in the canteen on the second floor of the White Stone Pagoda is already piled with large plates of dishes. The ingredients have been prepared for a long time. Headed by the Sixth Po, everyone helped together to make delicious dishes one after another under the guidance of Qing Feng'er. It's all on the table.
The gods, spirits, and Mr. Tiger all gathered in the canteen and sat down in their respective places. Mr. Tiger also gathered around the small open space assigned by the Sixth Po, chewing large pieces of chicken and duck meat.
"Let me toast you all!" Huang Jiang raised his glass of wine and toasted everyone at the long table. Everyone also raised their glasses and drank the wine completely.
Since Aguan, Atai, and Liupo were mortals, in order to take into account the fact that they were going to fight at night, they had hot tea and soda instead of wine.
The spirits also devoured the delicious dishes. Some of the spirits began to regret eating too much sugar just now. At this time, facing a large plate of dishes, their stomachs were a little full.
"Dear gods and spirit warriors, my old lady can't join you on the front line to slay demons and demons, but I can still cook a few dishes. Everyone, try to eat as much as you can, eat up this New Year's Eve dinner, and go do justice for heaven tonight! "The sixth wife raised the hot tea and toasted everyone a cup.
"well said!"
"You look the oldest on the outside, but you are the youngest on the inside!" The spirits clapped their hands vigorously, and everyone ate enthusiastically. Starting from the afternoon, they ate the New Year's Eve dinner for two or three hours.
After eating and drinking, everyone chatted and rested in small groups, and began to prepare for the upcoming battle.
Artest moved a large box of spells into the pagoda to provide Aguan with enough ammunition at any time.
Aguan took a few stacks of charms from Atai's hand and noticed that Atai's outfit was more exaggerated than before.
"I know I can't defeat the ghosts, but I have my own way!" Artest snorted, lifted up his black coat, put the red nunchucks into the special pocket on the inside, and put ten stacks of talisman darts into his hands. Put it in your pocket.
"Aren't you going to bring thunder turkey eggs this time?" Aguan asked.
"Eggs are too troublesome, take up space, break when pressed, and make the whole body sticky. Talisman is easier to use." Atai shook his head and took out a pair of chopsticks from the box.
"What is this?" Aguan asked.
Artai chuckled and picked up a chopstick. The chopsticks were made of stainless steel and had a layer of talisman wrapped on them. Artai made a few gestures and threw it towards the far wall. The chopsticks flew fast and straight, and bounced far away after hitting the wall. He explained: "Iron chopsticks fly farther and faster than paper darts. They are my new weapon."
"You have so many ideas!" Aguan said with a smile.
Everyone rested talking and laughing until the sun set and dark night came.
In the pagoda, everyone has changed from the festive atmosphere of the New Year to the excitement and uneasiness of the upcoming battle. No one has the mind to clean up the messy canteen and the messy dice stalls on the top of the tower.
Aguan and the gods left the pagoda and went downstairs. It was quiet in the mountain suburbs outside. Huang Jiang and Lin Shan were communicating about the details of the war.
"Wait, wait... I'll give you a red envelope." Liu Po jumped out of the tower in a hurry, holding a large stack of red envelopes in her hand, which contained banknotes and a lucky charm, and gave them to Aguan and everyone. A god.
The Sixth Po laughed, and after spending many days together, she realized that, except for the city god and the generals, Pianpian and other young gods all looked like teenagers and girls, and their words and deeds were no different from those of ordinary mortal children. The Sixth Po also regarded these gods as The children were all given red envelopes.
Pianpian and others naturally knew that this was a mortal custom, and they all accepted it with a smile. They would go out to fight later, so they might as well get a good start.
"Mother-in-law, please help me with the logistics later, and work with the medical officer to treat the injuries of Lord Tiger and the spirits." Lin Shan accepted the red envelope from the sixth mother-in-law and thanked her.
"Fairy, don't say that, this is what an old woman should do!" Sixth Po responded with a smile.
Lin Shan waved, and the generals stationed around flew down. The medical officer who was still preparing upstairs also rushed downstairs with several boxes of medicinal materials and first aid tools. Lin Shan recruited Tianjiang, Liupo and the medical officer into the pagoda, and also recruited Aguan and Atai into the pagoda.
Lin Shan looked around and saw that everyone was already gathered and ready, so she waved her hand: "Let's go as planned."
"Let's go -" Huang Jiang shouted, taking the lead to fly into the sky.
The gods took off one by one, flew into the night sky, and flew towards the Jincheng Building.
On New Year's Eve, most people gathered at home to have New Year's Eve dinner, and the downtown area was actually more deserted than on ordinary holidays. Despite this, the New Year's music in the shopping street was still played loudly.
In a winding fire prevention alley, the walls of old buildings on both sides are covered with moss, and there are many messy pipelines, some of which are dripping with water from holes.
There is a small street connected to the outside of the fire alley, facing the back of the Jincheng Building.
Pianpian, Ruoyu and Huang Jiang quickly passed through the fire-proof alley and arrived at the entrance of the alley. Behind them were three generals who came with Huang Jiang and Chang He to help.
Huang Jiang raised his head and squinted his eyes, twirling his goatee with one hand, and carefully looked at the Jincheng Building across the street that was shrouded in layers of sky barriers and looked evil.
Several cats jumped over, and Old Tudou emerged from the ground, lowering his voice and saying: "Master Huang Jiang, everything is ready."
Huang Jiang nodded and said with a smile: "The monster of the demon world and the evil god of Qianshou, let you see the barrier of our righteous god." Huang Jiang was no longer dressed in the fashionable clothes before, but was wearing a brown wide robe. While smiling, he took out a thick book from his wide sleeves, flipped through the book, and picked out a spell from the book.
Seeing that Huang Jiang was about to take action, Lao Tudou quickly typed out a talisman to inform other gods.
In a small park three blocks away to the left of the main entrance of Jincheng Building, Lin Shan also twisted a talisman and recited a spell. In a second-hand street on the right front, Chang He held up the talisman in his hand and solemnly recited a mantra.
"Feng——" Huang Jiang suddenly shouted loudly and threw the talisman in his hand into the sky. The talisman instantly turned into a golden light and shot towards the sky. At the same time, two beams of light were also emitted from the park and second-hand street in front of the Jincheng Building.
Three beams of light converged on the roof of the Jincheng Building, creating a large shining light network. The light network shrouded the entire building.
