Jiang Fan went straight to the point without leaving any ink:
"I heard from Senior Sister Yueling that you are extremely proficient in various types of handicap?"
When the long-bearded monk heard this, he blinked and began to beat a drum secretly in his heart.
Why was he asking himself this?
Could it be that she has been addicted to various handicaps all year round, which made Senior Sister Yueling feel disgusted in her heart and wanted to beat herself up?
Thinking of this, the long-bearded monk, who was already a little worried, became even more frightened.
He lowered his head tremblingly, and with a bit of trembling in his words, he defended:
"Senior Sister Yueling and this senior brother must not misunderstand. I only go to those places occasionally to play, and I can't say that I am proficient. Moreover, when I go there, it is in my free time after my duty is over, and I will never delay my patrol because of this. Island affairs..."
"Forehead……"
Jiang Fan was slightly stunned when he heard the other party's explanation.
He then smiled warmly and said:
"Don't be so nervous. I asked Senior Sister Yueling to call you here today. There is no malice. I just want to ask you something."
The long-bearded monk heard his comfort and knew that he had made a mistake. He relaxed a little and replied:
"Senior brother, if you want to ask anything, just ask, I will tell you everything I know."
Jiang Fan saw that the other party agreed easily, so he asked him directly:
"Tell me everything you know about the different types of handicaps in detail, and try not to omit anything."
When the long-bearded monk heard the words, he began to lower his head and think. It seemed that he was organizing the words in his heart.
Seeing this, Jiang Fan didn't rush him.
After a while, the long-bearded monk seemed to have sorted out his thoughts, then he raised his head, coughed dryly, and began to speak slowly.
"Ahem... Since Senior Sister Yueling and Senior Brother want to know these things, although my subordinates are not very proficient, they still have a general understanding."
He rolled his eyes, revealing some shrewdness in his eyes, and continued:
"Although the various handicaps among monks seem complicated and come in different forms, they can actually be divided into three types."
"The first is to bet on the outcome."
"Frictions often arise between monks over various trivial matters. If they cannot live or die for some reason, they will fight it out on the martial arts stage."
"At this time, people who specialize in this industry will take the opportunity to open a handicap and let the onlookers bet on who will win and who will lose. This kind of handicap is called guessing."
Jiang Fan nodded when he heard this.
This kind of handicap is the most common. Just yesterday, I participated in it once and earned a total of 12,000 spiritual stones.
However, the reason why I was able to suppress my opponent before was because one of the two parties in the fight had arranged it himself and knew the outcome long ago.
If the two parties in the fight were replaced by someone else, he would be blind and could only rely on luck.
Therefore, this kind of handicap is not suitable for earning spiritual stones by yourself.
After the long-bearded monk finished the first one, he only paused for a moment before continuing:
"The second type is gambling on spiritual mines."
"Tianlan Continent contains a variety of rare mineral veins, such as spirit stone ore, black iron ore, copper ore, soft silver ore, fine gold ore, etc."
"These materials are necessary for monks to use for their own cultivation, to refine magic weapons, or to set up formations."
"In the process of mining, in addition to the main materials, they will also unearth strange rocks containing various strange objects inside."
"These strange rocks come in different shapes and sizes. The only thing they have in common is that the outer stones they are wrapped in are extremely mysterious and can isolate them from all detection methods by the monks."
"Therefore, no one knows what is hidden inside the stone until it is cut open."
"Over time, a new type of handicap emerged, which is called stone betting."
When Jiang Fan heard this, he felt that it sounded strangely familiar.
This gambling stone is exactly the same as the jade gambling stone on earth in my previous life.
Except that the thing inside is not necessarily jade, there is not much difference in other aspects.
He thought about it and found that his golden finger would not be of much use in this regard.
After all, stones are dead objects, and dead objects have no luck.
Unless, like the storage jade bracelet I bought at the Gunei Trading Market some time ago, there is still a soul hidden in it.
But this possibility is almost impossible.
After all, it would take millions or even tens of millions of years for a mineral vein buried deep in the ground to take shape.
No living thing can survive in it for so long.
Therefore, this type of handicap is not suitable for you.
However, didn't this long-bearded monk divide the handicap into three different types?
I don’t know what this last one looks like.
I just hope that I can put my golden fingers to use.
Thinking of this, Jiang Fan became nervous.
After the long-bearded monk finished speaking about the second type, he paused for a few breaths before slowly speaking about the third type.
"The last one is called gambling spirit root."
"Betting on spiritual roots?"
When Jiang Fan heard this, his expression was filled with confusion and curiosity.
He turned to look at his senior sister and saw that although the girl's expression had not changed, the emotions in her eyes were no different from his own at the moment.
The long-bearded monk nodded slightly and continued:
"Betting on spiritual roots, as the name suggests, is a handicap for those children who have not yet awakened their spiritual roots."
When Jiang Fan heard this, he was already looking forward to it before the long-bearded monk could say the following words.
He knows that this type of handicap is probably what he needs.
He rubbed his hands secretly, looking a little impatient.
The long-bearded monk kept talking and continued:
"As we all know, a sect needs a steady stream of new generations to join in order to maintain long-term vitality."
"And these children who have not yet awakened their spiritual roots are the source and foundation of the sect's vitality."
"Actually, for a monk who is taken away by the sect after awakening his spiritual roots, his cultivation talent is generally not very high."
"Because the seedlings with excellent cultivation talents have basically been taken away by the major sects before they awaken their spiritual roots."
When Jiang Fan heard this, he asked doubtfully:
"No, isn't it that before a monk's spiritual roots are awakened, we can't see his specific cultivation qualifications?"
"Since you can't see it, how can you catch it in advance and take it away?"
The long-bearded monk heard this and was about to explain when Sikong Yueling, who was listening quietly, suddenly spoke up.
"Listening to what he said before, I suddenly remembered some past events. I think... I probably understand what this is about."
The girl pondered for a moment and continued:
"I remember when I was very young, I should have been three or four years old at that time..."
"Near where I live, there is a small river. It is very deep, but also very clear."
"My playmates at that time, who were also some children of the same age, were warned by their elders not to play near the water. They were told that there were spirits in the water and would drag them into it until they drowned."
"My playmates at that time all believed in these words and never dared to go near the river."
"I am the only one who is not afraid at all. On the contrary, I feel an inexplicable closeness to the water flowing in the river."
"So, when I have something to do, I like to sneak into it, sink to the bottom of the river, and let the clear and cold water cover my head."
"At that time, not only did I not suffocate, I could even vaguely feel that the water in the entire river seemed to be a part of my body."
"In other words, I am part of the water."
