Caishen Hall, fifth floor.
Countless gamblers are curious and guessing that from the second floor to the fourth floor, the first floor is more luxurious and glorious than the first floor. How extremely luxurious the fifth floor must be to be able to surpass the fourth floor. As the top floor of the God of Wealth Hall, it can suppress the God of Wealth. The prestige of the church.
Some people speculate that the third floor is made of gold, the fourth floor is made of crystal, and the fifth floor is probably made of colored glaze.
Some people also speculate that the fifth floor may be made of crystal and gold.
However, a well-known old craftsman in Chang'an secretly investigated the Caishen Hall for half a year and concluded with reasonable evidence that it is impossible for the fifth floor to use a large amount of crystal or gold, because judging from the amount of gold and crystal used on the first to fourth floors , if a large amount of gold, crystal or other heavy materials are used on the fifth floor, the foundation of the God of Wealth Hall may collapse directly.
However, no signs of collapse were found on the ground around Caishen Hall, which shows that heavy building materials must not have been used on the fifth floor of Caishen Hall.
"Hoo, ho." Lin Tianyou picked up the stone teacup and blew on the hot tea inside.
The green tea leaves are swirling in the cup, exuding a cool and refreshing fragrance, which is refreshing and refreshing.
Lin Tianyou squinted his eyes as if he was savoring the tea flowing through his throat.
"Gamblers in Chang'an are all speculating about what the fifth floor will look like. Even many famous families in Chang'an and high-ranking officials in the court have come to me several times through various means and asked me to let them go to the fifth floor. Let's take a look upstairs. But I didn't even agree to them." Lin Tianyou shook his tea cup and looked at a figure sitting opposite him, covered in a black robe. This figure sat cross-legged, with his head lowered and his face unclear. , "Do you know why? Prime Minister!"
Wang Daofan smiled and took off his black robe, "As expected of you, your guess was accurate. I'm curious how you guessed it was me?"
"Haha, it's just a casual comment. Don't take it seriously, Prime Minister." Lin Tianyou laughed.
"Then I have to say something to you. As the boss of Caishentang, how can you guess the identity of others when the matter is not yet clear?" Wang Daofan smiled, but his tone was cold and biting, "Especially He is a person who can take your life..."
"Oh, I have never bothered to guard against someone who can take my life at any time. After all, if he really wants to take my life, I can't stop him. It's better not to guard against him and still have a peaceful sleep. ." Lin Tianyou calmly took a sip of tea and said slowly.
Wang Daofan was silent for a moment and then said with a smile, "Boss Lin is really brave and wise, otherwise he would not have built such a human bone building!"
Wang Daofan looked around and saw that the entire fifth floor was covered with bones. Countless human bones were spread on the ground, making it look like the ground was full of gloomy energy. Not far away, there is a hut made entirely of bones, with a red candle burning inside, emitting a faint firelight.
As for the top of the head, a lamp composed of twelve human skulls and twenty-four candles provided the light source for the entire fifth floor. The faint blue flame shrank in the hollow skull, and the entire fifth floor seemed to have an eerie feeling. Cold air kept coming from the ground.
Wang Daofan stretched out his pale hand and tapped twice on an extremely hard bone on the ground. The bone instantly turned into dust and dispersed in the wind the next moment.
"Nothing in this world is eternal. This is true for the Human Emperor sitting on the Dragon Throne, and it is also true for you, the God of Wealth Hall."
Lin Tianyou's hand trembled, then he put down the tea cup and said calmly, "For an unchanging life, I can already foresee my ending in the future, but this is not what I want. What I want is to change every moment. ending, and I want it to be time to hold this life tightly in my hands."
"Haha, if you can have such a life, then how much freedom and change are there?" Wang Daofan sneered twice and said coldly, "The weak have no right to choose. Whatever the strong gives you, you just accept it." .”
"So in the eyes of the Prime Minister, are we all weak?" Lin Tianyou pointed to the ground and said softly.
"Strength and weakness are only relative terms. After all, you are really not qualified to talk to me now..."
"You don't judge a hero by his temporary success or failure, right? But some people's lives only have this one chance of success or failure."
"That's why I ask you to cherish your life and don't die too early. After all, in my opinion, you are still valuable." Wang Daofan said in a deep voice, "I know that you have welcomed the eldest prince Jiang Fengqing into the God of Wealth Hall. I’m also very happy that you can choose to join forces.”
"What? Did the Prime Minister have a falling out with the second prince, and now he wants to find a new way and become the king on his own?" Lin Tianyou looked at Wang Daofan curiously and asked, but he did not worry at all about the increasingly gloomy expression on Wang Daofan's face.
If Lin Tianyou's sarcastic words were heard by outsiders, he would be punished by beheading.
"I said that I actually don't care who is sitting on the throne. Do you believe it?" Wang Daofan said with a serious face.
Lin Tianyou looked at his unfaithful expression and began to feel a little shaken in his heart. After all, he had always felt that the reason why Wang Daofan followed the second prince was because the second prince promised huge profits, or even wanted to take the opportunity to rise to power himself.
After all, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the second prince cannot suppress Zhou Ruoxiao and Wang Daofan. Both of them are obedient and do things well.
"Then I dare to ask, Prime Minister, what do you want? Since you are in officialdom and don't want wealth, power, status, or beauty, what else can you ask for?" Lin Tianyou asked loudly.
"Can I say that I want to ask for an answer?" Wang Daofan thought for a while and then slowly said, "In other words, I just want to ask for peace of mind so that I can sleep peacefully. After all, some people are alive. I have been sleeping in a daze for the rest of my life, but I want to have a clear sleep, and I don’t want to just fall asleep like this in a daze.”
"Oh, really? But although some people sleep in a confused state, they sleep peacefully and soundly without so many worries. Some people in this world are busy trying to survive, and some are busy looking for death, but they are all just to get through this life. It’s just one life. With your current height, you can already spend this unfinished life safely, so why bother with this situation and make yourself unstable? "
"But my heart hasn't settled down yet! Only when my heart settles down can I stop my pursuit and let go of my body, even though he is very tired."
Wang Daofan let out a long sigh, stood up and patted the black robe on his body, "Don't try to stop my plan, and don't try to guess my thoughts. I believe that if someone dares to plot against me, once he makes me angry, I will let him bear it. The consequences were ten times more painful than mine.”
"Then..." Lin Tianyou hesitated, with a look of struggle on his face.
"My plan is to bring up the entire Chang'an and mess up the entire Jiuzhou. The more chaotic the better. If someone can cooperate with me, I will be very happy. If someone dares to stop me, I will be very angry!" Wang Daofan's eyes were straight. Googou glared at Lin Tianyou, his eyes full of warning and threats, "I don't care about the affairs between you and the eldest prince Jiang Fengqing. I just want to tell you that the second prince Jiang Ruoting is dead, and now Zhou Ruoxiao is taking care of him. Return to Chang'an with the Human Emperor Sword, and you'll probably arrive tomorrow."
Lin Tianyou was startled when he heard this, with a look of surprise in his eyes. Seeing Wang Daofan's figure disappearing from his eyes, he breathed a sigh of relief, but the thoughtful look in his eyes remained unchanged.
"Is it coming tomorrow? Then when will you come up?" Lin Tianyou showed a trace of hesitation on his face. He took a few steps to the stairs and looked down through the transparent stairs.
He ignored the sense of peeping coming from the fourth floor, and just stared at the figures on the third floor in a daze.
third floor.
Jiang Fengqing looked at the wretched man opposite with interest. The wretched man said with a smile on his face, "As for the rules of this bet, why don't we spend a stick of incense to choose together? After one stick of incense, we will The outcome is determined by betting on the quality of the treasures found on the stones."
Jiang Fengqing didn't seem to think too much and nodded directly, "Okay, let's do it!"
The other gamblers on the side shook their heads, as if they were not optimistic about Jiang Fengqing's decision.
The wretched man smiled and said, "Just ask the dealer to be a witness!"
A trace of complexity flashed across the dealer's pretty face, but she quickly covered it up and took out a stick of incense from a small drawer on the table, "In that case, three, two, one, start!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the croupier snapped his fingers and the incense immediately lit up.
The wretched man smiled scornfully, "I want this!"
I saw him raising his hand to grab a gambling stone in the corner of the gambling table, as if he was bound to win this gambling stone.
An Zicheng's expression changed instantly. Only then did he realize that this wretched man had such an idea. He relied on being here so long before Jiang Fengqing and observing him for so long, so he could take the lead and get the twelve pieces. The most valuable piece of gambling stone.
An Zicheng was very nervous and hesitant. If this wretched man really got this gambling stone, Jiang Fengqing would probably lose the bet directly. Although he would not lose the chips, he would still lose the game and the opportunity.
However, while he was in such a hurry, Jiang Fengqing was sitting there calmly, showing no sign of trying to snatch it or being anxious.
Instead, he crossed his legs and called the maid to get some tea.
"It looks like this No. 10 is not a simple one. It still has a certain level of city government!"
"It seems that No. 3 hit the wall today. This No. 10 is not a rookie."
"Haha, gambling on stones is all about luck. If you are lucky, you will be able to go anywhere."
The wretched man's hand stopped just before it touched the gambling stone. He glanced at Jiang Fengqing, who was still unresponsive, with some confusion, and couldn't help but have a bad premonition in his heart.
You must know that the main focus of stone gambling is knowledge and luck. Even those stone gambling masters are not 100% sure that the stone gambling they have chosen will definitely yield treasures.
As for him just now, he just wanted to trick Jiang Fengqing, and wanted him to compete with him and snatch away the one he was least optimistic about among the twelve gambling stones, thereby increasing his chances of winning.
Just by using this trick, the wretched man tricked many novices and taught them a good lesson.
However, his move failed today with Jiang Fengqing, which made him feel a little uneasy.
The wretched man slowly sat back in his seat and began to carefully observe the gambling stones on the table.
Jiang Fengqing slowly took the tea from the maid and started to sip it.
At this time, Li Zhenyu, Li Bai, Lu Jinxin and the beautiful dealer all focused on Jiang Fengqing, which made An Zicheng, who was standing behind Jiang Fengqing, feel a little dignified.
The third floor was quiet.
