The croupier was uneasy and kept glancing at the burly man, but hesitated to speak. The latter stood beside her, pressed his big palm fan hand on the gaming table, glanced at the small mountain of bets, and said in a loud voice: "Open it." Bar."

The croupier was relieved when he got the backbone. With a flick of his finger, the bamboo stick jumped out of the tube and fell on the table. It turned out to be a short stick, which caused a sigh of regret.

Wei Shiqi clapped his hands and called Bian Ci, "I've lost everything, let's go."

The tall man said: "Dear guest, please go slowly. Do you have time for a cup of tea?"

Wei Shiqi was waiting for this sentence and naturally agreed.

The four of them walked around a landscape screen, stepped out of the gate, passed through the patio, and sat down in the inner hall. Several enchanting female ghosts served tea, twisting their waists, coming and going away with Pingpingtingtingting. The corners of their eyes and brows were so attractive that Bian Ci couldn't help but flatten his lips in disdain.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, we got to the point. The sturdy man called himself Xu Hu, a native of Dongming, who was in charge of the shops, warehouses, gambling houses and brothels in the inner city. Wei Shiqi asked him if he was the "Ghost King", Xu Hu smiled and shook his head, admitting that he was just A thug under the Ghost King.

"Thug" is a self-effacing word. He can "take charge of the shops, warehouses, gambling houses and brothels in the inner city". He is by no means an ordinary person. He must be the confidant of the Ghost King. Xu Hu seemed to have read through his mind. He smiled slightly and said proudly: "Xu is not boasting that he is the number one thug under the Ghost King."

Bian Ci suppressed a smile and looked down at the tea. It was dark in color, like water for washing inkstones. The clear soup had little water, and no human figures could be seen in the light, but not a single tea leaf could be found. How dare she drink what the ghost offered her? She only glanced at it for a few times, then sat upright and listened to the two of them chatting. First, Wei Shiqi talked about the customs of the Western Regions, and then Xu Hu talked about Dongming City. The two of them seemed to be exchanging something in a tacit understanding, tacitly understanding each other.

In Wei Shiqi, he was spying on the intelligence of Dongming City, but in Xu Hu, he simply wanted to know what the outside world was like and talk about loneliness. Whether it was a flower or a grass, or a drink or a meal, it all brought back memories of the past. It made him sigh.

Wei Shiqi noticed something and asked tentatively: "Brother Xu, why don't you go out of the city for a visit?"

Xu Hu was silent for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "I have been trapped in the ghost city for a long time, but I finally turned out to be what I wanted. However, I have turned into a ghost and cannot leave Dongming City." He did not want to talk any more, and casually changed the topic with him. Tell him some interesting stories about gambling houses and brothels, and strongly invite him to visit again.

Wei Shiqi was a little moved. In a blink of an eye, he saw that Bian Ci's face turned slightly pale and he was restless. He was obviously infected by the yin energy and felt quite uncomfortable. He politely declined, said goodbye, and left with the two sisters.

Xu Hu didn't hold back and gave him a bag of paper money and told him that there were good things in "Shanze Ruyi" and he might as well try his luck.

Try your luck, why not your eyesight but your luck? Wei Shiqi didn't understand.

The enchanting female ghost led the three of them out of the gambling house from the side door. A full moon hung in the night sky, shining brightly on the ground, making people cry like they were complaining. The "number one thug under the Ghost King" was too strong, and the yin energy overflowed, making the whole room feel cold. Bian Ci's physique was far inferior to that of Wei Shiqi and Bian Ya, so she could only hold on and finally left the bad place. She let out a long sigh of relief. , took out a porcelain bottle from his sleeve, closed it in his palm, poured out three pills and swallowed them to dispel the chill in his body.

Wei Shiqi touched her forehead and said, "Are you okay?"

Bian Ci laughed dumbly, "It's okay, it's not a fever... Let's go and check out 'Shanze Ruyi'. We have to leave early tomorrow morning. It's useless to keep the paper money in the ghost town. It's better to just spend it."

Wei Shiqi thought she was so well-behaved, and immediately led Bian Ya along the street, all the way to "Shan Ze Ru Yi". Stepping into the building, the layout is the same as that of Liantao City, except that the person standing behind the counter is a ghost with an expressionless face, staring blankly at the three people, without any awareness that a businessman should have.

On the shelves, there are wooden boxes of different sizes, clearly marked with different prices, but I don’t know what they are. When I asked the shopkeeper about the ghost, he only replied with a dull reply, "Purchase money to buy it. I will buy it myself." Go figure it out.”

"Let's take a look."

"Purchase money to buy it and figure it out for yourself."

Wei Shiqi finally understood what Xu Hu meant. Siyan in Dongming City was another kind of gambling. Winning or losing only depended on luck and had nothing to do with vision.

He looked at it intently. He didn't know what those large and small wooden boxes were made of. They didn't leak any breath and couldn't tell them apart. This is a game that tests people, but Wei Shiqi didn't bother to think about it. He simply emptied the bag that Xu Hu gave him, filled the counter with piles of paper money, and said generously: "Bring the most expensive one."

The shopkeeper's eyes widened when he saw the ghost. He nodded repeatedly, counted everything carefully, and took down two wooden boxes from the top of the shelf, one large and one small, full of dust. He carefully pushed them to him and said: " Once the money has been paid, it will not be returned or exchanged.”

Wei Shiqi didn't inspect the goods, put them in his sleeve, turned around and left.

It was late at night, and more and more ghosts gathered in the streets and alleys. Wei Shiqi and three other people returned to the inn and went to their rooms to rest.

Just as I took out the wooden box and wiped off the dust, I heard light footsteps outside the door. I knocked hesitantly a few times, pushed it open a crack, and took a look around.

Wei Shiqi waved to her, "Come in."

Bian Ci stuck out his tongue, squeezed into the room sideways, closed the door, walked to Wei Shiqi's side, pinched the corner of his clothes and said, "I can't sleep, I want to see what you bought."

"The treasure hasn't been opened yet." Wei Shiqi put his arm around her waist, put her on his legs with a little force, put it against her neck, and took a deep breath of the woman's body fragrance.

Bian Ci exclaimed, then pressed his mouth, his face flushed, but he did not reject it very much.

"Dongming City is your Uncle Chu's experimental field. Gambling houses, brothels, and these wooden boxes for betting on luck will one day become a reality."

Hot air sprayed on his neck in waves, and Bian Ci's body felt a little weak, and he couldn't speak. Wei Shiqi stroked her waist, stretched out his arms, picked up the small wooden box, looked at it over and over for a while, and with a slight exertion, the wooden box broke.

"What is it?" Bian Ci breathed heavily, confused and confused.

"A note." Wei Shiqi unfolded the note and saw two large ink characters written on it, Cheng Hui.

Chenghui, interesting, full of bad taste! Wei Shiqi laughed, pinched the note and crushed it into crumbs.

Bian Ci leaned in his arms, as if he were boneless, and whispered: "Have you been fooled?"

"No, I'm just not lucky." Wei Shiqihun didn't care and casually crushed another larger wooden box. This time he was lucky. There was a bracelet lying quietly in the wooden box. It was made of bronze and silver, so simple. It's rough, plain to the point of shabby, not to mention the carving, not even the slightest bit of decoration.

Under the bracelet, there is a piece of paper, still written in big ink letters, with the words "storage bracelet" written in the same handwriting as "Chenghui".

Wei Shiqi poured some demonic energy into it, and his mind sank into the storage bracelet. He inspected it and found that it was empty. It was about the size of a room. It couldn't be better for storing sundries. He originally had a two-phase ring, which he used well, and he has been feeling sad since it exploded. Now he has this storage bracelet, which is exactly what he wants. But will it look effeminate for a man to wear such a bracelet on his hand?

Bian Ci took the bracelet and put it on his wrist. He took his big hand and looked at it. He smiled and said, "Not bad, it matches well." The simple and simple style perfectly complemented the dark and strong arms, giving him a rough look. The beauty is heart-stopping.

After listening to her words, Wei Shiqi stopped taking off the bracelet. He whispered in Bian Ci's ear: "This is an unexpected joy. You are here, which makes it even more joyful..."

Bian Ci threw herself into his arms and threw all her worries and worries behind her. At this moment, her little heart was completely occupied by this man. r1058
