Caishen Hall, third floor.
An aura of silence gradually permeated the quiet environment.
Guji
I don't know which gambler swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, and then seemed to be unable to hold on any longer, and shouted out in an instant.
"Ah! There is a demon clan!!!"
This voice shouted so suddenly that the whole place exploded in an instant.
A group of gamblers fled in all directions, terrified.
The old man who had been dragging him down in front of the croupier before was now running ahead of everyone, rushing towards the stairs, even his beloved concubine was ignored.
As for the gamblers' servants, they were also busy running away at this time. Only Li Zhenyu's old servant was still standing at the front, confronting the monster monkey.
The old servant had a gloomy face and his back was slightly arched, like a lion ready to attack.
The ferocious-looking demon monkey, whose hair was covered in blood, glared at the old servant with bared teeth and fierce, cold-blooded eyes.
At this time, only Jiang Fengqing, Li Zhenyu and Zhang Wanwan were still sitting at the gambling table. Even the croupier hurried downstairs among the gamblers.
It is true that in today's world, the human race is the master of the Nine Provinces, and the fate of the demon race has collapsed after losing the battle with the human race.
On the land of Kyushu, the traces of the demon clan are almost invisible.
However, the fear of monsters seems to be deeply rooted in the blood of most human races. After all, when the demon clan was at its peak, it almost forced the human race to sign an alliance under the city of Jiuzhou, with the demon clan occupying eight states and the human race occupying one state.
"I'm curious as to why you guys are still here at the gambling table." Jiang Fengqing stood up and supported the gold gambling table and began to walk slowly.
His eyes glanced at the jade boxes left behind by the panicked gamblers on the table.
Faced with the monster monkey that could attack and hurt people at any time, these rich and powerful people clearly withdrew from the gambling games they had bet on and decisively chose to escape from danger.
"The gamble is not over yet, and the result has not been seen yet. If I leave now, I will not only break trust with others, but also break trust with myself. Li is not talented, and he does not want to be a trustworthy person." Li Zhenyu said with a smile on his face. But there was no trace of the fear of the monster monkey that other gamblers had on their faces.
Zhang Wanwan also stood up at this time and said, "I just want to see who the final winner of this bet is. I will leave after watching."
At this time, An Zicheng on the side was confused. It was difficult for him to understand why these people still didn't leave. It was clear that the demon clan had appeared in front of them, but they still felt like gambling here.
Are all these people so addicted to gambling? Don’t you even want your life? Can't we wait for the people from the God of Wealth Hall to surrender and eliminate this monster monkey before continuing?
You must know that at the same level of cultivation, the demon clan can suppress the human race with its physical superiority, and An Zicheng can feel that although the demon monkey has the same sixth-level cultivation level as him, for some reason, the aura it emits is far away. Far more than An Zicheng.
As for Jiang Fengqing, she was weighing her jade box in her hand with a leisurely expression.
At that time, after seeing the gamblers evacuating, the maids put their jade boxes on the gambling table and immediately followed them.
Upon seeing this, Li Zhenyu also picked up his own jade box, then glanced at the jade boxes of other gamblers on the table, smiled, and then waved his hand, and the jade boxes on the table exploded and shattered instantly.
"Since there are only three of us left, we have to let these things get in the way."
Zhang Wanwan smiled when he heard this, "Yes, let's show our cards quickly. I also want to see how big the gap is between an old man of my age and you young people."
As he spoke, Zhang Wanwan opened his jade box and took out the small note.
"What I offered is not that good, it's only 2.5 million, so what about the things you offer?"
Zhang Wanwan put the small piece of paper on the table and then sat down with a calm look on his face.
When Jiang Fengqing and Li Zhenyu saw this, they both fell into deep thought.
When you are old and strong, you would rather move away from your gray-headed heart. Be poor and strong, and never fall into the clouds.
To be able to delve into such a level in the art of stone gambling at the age of sixty, I have to say that Zhang Wanwan's determination is worth learning.
After a while, Li Zhenyu chuckled and then opened his jade box.
"Sure enough, Mr. Zhang is bold and unrestrained, so I will make a fool of myself."
A fluttering note fell on the table.
Zhang Wanwan sighed. He had already seen the words three million written clearly on the note.
"It seems I can't compare to you young people."
Seeing this, Li Zhenyu comforted him, "Don't sigh, Mr. Zhang. You are able to delve into the art of stone gambling to a level that many young people cannot reach at the age of sixty. This is already worthy of praise."
Zhang Wanwan shook his head and waved his hands, "It's not that I can't figure it out myself, it's just that I still feel a little lonely in my heart.
It has been more than two years since I started practicing stone gambling. During this period, I spent almost half of my family property, looking for teachers everywhere, and bought countless gambling stones to practice. I finally felt that I was successful in learning, but I didn't expect that I still lost at the hands of young people. . "
Zhang Wanwan sighed for a while, then turned to look at Jiang Fengqing aside and said, "Young man, why haven't you opened your jade box for so long and let us see what good treasures your gambling stone has uncovered? "
At this time, Li Zhenyu also looked at Jiang Fengqing with curiosity. From the beginning, he felt that this gambler No. 10 wearing a straw hat had a bit of aura and seemed to have a good background. Until now, he felt more and more that this young man was like a statue covered by a cloth. The more he looked at it, the more he wanted to lift the cloth to see what the statue looked like.
As for An Zicheng, who stood behind Jiang Fengqing and witnessed the entire gambling game, he was even more curious. However, his desire to leave quickly outweighed his curiosity. After all, he didn't want the monster monkey to cause any trouble later. If their identities were exposed, it would be a serious matter. Maybe they really have no chance to get out of this God of Wealth Hall.
Jiang Fengqing said with a smile, "Haven't you all seen what is hidden in my gambling stone?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.
Zhang Qianwan frowned and said in confusion, "How do you say this? Are you just trying to make us happy? Everything you get from gambling on stones will be placed in the jade box specially made by the God of Wealth Hall.
This jade box can block all sight lines, how can we see it? Please be honest with me. This gambling game should be brought to an end as soon as possible. There is a powerful monster monkey standing next to you. "
Although Zhang Wanwan spoke sincerely, Jiang Fengqing ignored him and just looked at the monster monkey who was confronting the old servant quietly.
Just as Zhang Wanwan was scolding gambler No. 10 for being disrespectful and talking nonsense in his heart, Li Zhenyu on the side was shocked, "Are you saying that you fired the stone demon?!"
As soon as these words came out, Zhang Wanwan, An Zicheng and the powerful old servant in the distance were all shocked.
It is said that there are nine dragon veins under the ground in Kyushu. When the dragon veins flourish, Kyushu has outstanding people and places, and the underground mineral veins are derived from the nourishment of the dragon veins.
As for the gambling stones in the God of Wealth Hall, they were all dug out from around the ancient demon battlefield.
The ancient demon battlefield was the place where humans and demons had a decisive battle. It was located in a valley in Liangzhou.
In that battle, the sky was dark and the earth was dark, the sun and the moon were dim, the entire valley was flattened, flesh and blood piled up like a vast sea, and corpses flew everywhere like flowers falling from the sky.
After the war, that valley was named the Ancient Demon Battlefield. It is filled with evil spirits, and ordinary people cannot set foot there.
Qingcheng Mountain had to send people to set up a formation there to seal the evil spirit. To this day, people are still left there to guard the formation to prevent people from accidentally entering it and losing their lives.
However, the land around the ancient demon battlefield was blessed by this. As a large number of demon and human corpses merged into the ground, they turned into pure nutritional energy for the land to absorb, thus forming a mineral vein underground.
I have to say that the boss of Caishentang is really discerning. He rushed ahead of countless merchants and bought the land around the Ancient Demon Battlefield from Liangzhou Zhoumu, thus obtaining the mining rights for this huge mineral vein.
That's when the Caishen Hall Stone Gambling Bureau was opened. It can be said that two-thirds of the Caishen Hall's gambling stones come from the mineral veins around the Ancient Demon Battlefield.
The gambling stones mined from the veins of the Ancient Demon Battlefield not only have a very high treasure yield rate, but the quality of the treasures is also the highest among all the mineral veins in Kyushu.
Various weapons, the flesh and blood of monsters, rare herbs... Time has buried too many treasures under the earth, waiting for those who are destined to mine them.
However, there have been many accidents when mining gambling stones.
There have been several times when the miners of Caishen Hall were mining gambling stones and discovered various monsters from the ore. Although most of them were monster corpses, which instantly turned into dust and dissipated after seeing the sunlight, there were still powerful monsters that revived and attacked the surrounding things crazily.
Especially in recent years, with the in-depth mining of ores in Caishentang, more and more powerful monsters have been discovered. Later, even Qingcheng Mountain sent an elder to guard the mines to avoid powerful monsters. Escape and threaten Kyushu.
People also gradually gave this kind of monsters that recovered from the ore a name, stone monsters.
At the moment, the demon monkey Li Zhenyu and others saw was exactly a stone demon.
For these monsters, it would take a lot of effort to deal with them using the methods of ordinary warriors. However, Qingcheng Mountain's martial arts talisman was created specifically for the demon clan, and it can be said to be a magical weapon against the demon clan.
Even an ordinary person with no cultivation can easily eliminate some ordinary monsters after possessing Qingcheng Mountain's talisman and seal.
When everyone was surprised, the stone demon suddenly moved.
Perhaps seeing a flaw in the mind of the old servant who had been confronting it, the stone demon immediately pounced on it at a terrifying speed, as if it wanted to kill the old servant whose strength was almost the same as it with one blow.
However, the old servant also reacted quickly and immediately raised his hands to protect his neck.
Sure enough, the next moment, the ancient demon's extremely sharp claws waved out a force that seemed to be able to tear the air, and went straight to the old servant's neck.
The necks of ordinary warriors are extremely fragile. If it is hit hard this time, the vocal cords in the throat may be broken, and they will be unable to speak in this life. Just like the group of black-robed deacons before, their vocal cords were accidentally torn by this ancient demon. He died on the spot.
However, this force hit the old servant's palm, but it did not tear the old servant's palm. Instead, there was a sound of gold and jade colliding, and sparks could even be faintly seen exploding.
Although An Zicheng stood far away, he could still see clearly with his excellent eyesight.
At this time, he couldn't help but said, "Could this be a golden hand?"
Li Zhenyu was shocked when he heard this. He turned to Jiang Fengqing and said, "I didn't expect that your servant would be so knowledgeable and be able to recognize this golden jade hand?"
Jiang Fengqing chuckled and said, "At any rate, Jin Yu Shou was one of the top palm masters of one of the nine sects, so it's not unusual to know him."
After hearing this, Li Zhenyu nodded in agreement and didn't think more about it.
Although these nine sects are far away in Yanzhou, thousands of miles away from Yongzhou, the nine sects are after all the nine sects that were famous in the martial arts world at the time. The nine sect leaders of the nine sects are all eighth-level cultivation, and The Nine Sects have always had good relations with Putuo Mountain. The nine sect leaders have asked Master Kuhai for Buddhist teachings many times. Under the leadership of Master Kuhai, they killed countless monsters and became heroes in the eyes of the Jiuzhou people.
However, after Master Kuhai and Emperor Jiang returned from their search for immortals to no avail, it was said that the masters of the Nine Sects discovered an ancient ruins. After going there, they disappeared, and they were no longer seen in the land of Kyushu, and so did the Nine Sects. abjection.
"well!"
Zhang Wanwan sighed lightly, causing both Jiang Fengqing and Li Zhenyu to look at him.
"As expected, we still lost this round."
In Zhang Wanwan's lonely tone, both of them could hear the tremor in his voice.
"I didn't expect that I consider myself a figure in the Chang'an stone gambling world, but today I was defeated by you two young people, and my fate was at stake. It seems that we old people are really not suitable to hang out at the gambling table." Zhang Qian Wan was filled with emotion, then stood up and walked towards the stairs.
"I am willing to admit defeat when I bet. If I lose, I will leave the game. I am convinced that I have lost this round. I am sincerely convinced."
Jiang Fengqing and Li Zhenyu both smiled bitterly and shook their heads when they heard this. Zhang Wanwan also knew in his heart that each of the stone monsters extracted from the gambling stone was priceless.
Because both the research and collection value of the ancient demon and the value of its body itself are priceless and cannot be compared with some jade.
Zhang Wanwan's back quickly disappeared at the top of the stairs, and the war between the old servant and the ancient demon continued.
The sharp claws of the ancient demon kept clawing at the old servant, and the overwhelming claws gave people an irresistible feeling.
However, the old servant waved a pair of indestructible palms, which seemed slow but was actually fast, and actually smashed the claw shadow into mid-air, and the sound of gold and jade colliding could be heard endlessly.
squeak
The ancient demon seemed to be angered by the old servant and let out a shrill scream. The sound seemed to pierce the eardrums and hit the heart.
The next moment, the ancient demon began to walk around and jump around the old servant, coming close and waving a claw from time to time.
However, the old servant was able to catch this lightning claw, which made the ancient demon very angry, and his shrill screams resounded throughout the third floor.
