Xunyi nodded and said, "I've written it down, but let's agree on a few more code words. For example, frowning means the first five cocoons, biting your lips means the last five, etc. This will make it harder for others to see through."

Zhixia said angrily, "Do you think I need your guidance so many times?"

Xun Yi smiled and said, "It's better to be prepared. A few more code words will make it even more difficult for others to trace."

Zhi Xia was a rigorous person, so after hearing what he said, he followed his idea and decided on two more sets of code words.

The plan was decided. The two left the shop and wandered around the market selling silkworm cocoons for more than two hours. In addition to buying some different types of silkworm cocoons, Xunyi also bought a lot of top-quality silkworm cocoons.

, although the scale of silkworm cocoon trading here is not as good as that of "Nantaifang City" and "Lianyunfang City" that specialize in silkworm cocoons, it is still firmly in the third place. Despite the rush, Xunyi still gained a lot.

.

When they returned to the other courtyard, Wen Bing and his four major disciples were gathering together and whispering. They were also curious about the mystery behind Yuzi's sword. .??.

Zhixia ignored them and took Xunyi directly into the quiet room. The two selected the cocoons again, and then practiced the code words they had set. At this point, Zhixia felt completely at ease.

Xunyi tentatively asked, "Sister, do you think this Shi Yuzi was invited by Wuji and the others?"

Zhixia nodded lightly and said, "It is very possible that this person was born in a small sect. Because he is quite talented in identifying silkworm cocoons, he became prominent and became a treasure that various sects competed for. He and I were betting against each other at the beginning.

I have been attached to the Longfu sect since then, and now that you dare to challenge me openly, you probably have someone to rely on behind you."

Xun Yi said smoothly, "It would be great if I could trick Wuji and the others one more time."

Zhixia glanced at him, then waved her hands and said, "The gambling is about to begin. You should hurry up and take a rest."

Seeing that she didn't answer, Xun Yi obviously had no intention of telling him about the sword, so he suppressed his curiosity, obediently agreed, and left the quiet room.

As soon as he returned to the small building where he and Yuehong lived, Jingbing followed him in and stared at him with mysterious eyes.

Xunyi's eyes looked even more mysterious. The two of them moved their shoulders together furtively, asking each other whether they knew the mystery of the sword. Then the excitement in their eyes turned into disappointment.

, they rolled their eyes at each other and turned around and left.

Yuehong didn't ask much after seeing Xun Yi. She could ask about things related to her brother, but about the Second Fairy, no matter how curious she was, she knew she shouldn't say anything.

As midnight was approaching, Pei Dong and Pei Pu arrived, and Zhixia led Xunyi and others to rush to the gambling bureau with them. Pei Dong and Pei Pu knew the origin of the sword that Shi Yuzi brought, so they seemed very calm.

When they entered the white magic circle, everyone who was supposed to be there had already arrived. The futons suspended around the field had long been removed. The magic circle with a radius of hundreds of miles seemed increasingly emptier. The bright moonlight made this emptiness even more

It means coldness. On the central field, there are two tables facing each other twenty feet apart from east to west. Shi Yuzi is already sitting behind the one in the west. There is another table in the middle of the two tables to the south.

, sitting behind is Quan Mao, who is presiding over the gambling game. Behind him are ten law enforcement disciples, and behind the ten disciples are hundreds of silkworm cocoons in full bloom.

These wooden boxes and cocoons were temporarily borrowed from merchants. Quan Mao paid the required expenses himself. The Second Fairy of Zixiao Palace named him to be the host. Of course, he was not worthy of asking Zhixia for such a small expense.

On the north side, there is a seat ten feet away from the two tables. They are prepared for the notaries of both parties. Sitting on Zhixia's side are Mo Guang and a great monk who even Zhixia doesn't know.

Behind these two seats and a distance of ten feet, there are several seats on each side. These are prepared by people like Xunyi and others who are coming together. There are four people sitting on the seat on the other side of Shi Yuzi, and Mo Hui is also there.

Among them, the remaining three should be disciples of the cocoon master.

Seeing Zhixia and others coming over, everyone present stood up to pay their respects. No matter how tense everyone was, they should still have this kind of magnanimity.

After Zhixia sat down, Pei Dong and Pei Pu also sat at the notary's seat next to Shi Yuzi. Xun Yi followed his previous plan and pulled Yuehong and Jingbing to sit on both sides of him. Among Zhixia's four disciples,

He has the closest relationship with Jing Bing, so it is normal to do this. However, Jing Bing cannot sit side by side with his junior uncle like Yue Hong, and his body has to be slightly staggered.

When both parties arrived, Quan Mao said with a solemn expression, "It's really a reluctance for me to be the host. I just have your trust and I bear the important responsibility here, so I can't shirk it. Since it's a gamble, I have to admit defeat. If

There are gamblers who are cheating on their accounts and those who are causing trouble. I must uphold justice. I have already spoken out in front of you. If anyone violates the rules, don't blame me for being unkind."

After a pause, he asked Zhixia and Shiyuzi, "Do you two have anything else to say about this bet?"

Zhixia and Shixiaozi both shook their heads in a relaxed manner, while everyone below had serious expressions on their faces. Only Xunyi looked around erratically, casting provocative glances at Mo Hui from time to time.

Quan Mao saw that neither of them had anything to say, so he pointed behind him and said, "Okay, let's ask both sides to inspect the cocoon."

Zhixia waved her hands and said, "I won't watch anymore."

Shi Yuzi smiled lightly and said, "There's nothing to inspect, let's get started."

"Okay, let's start the first scene, take out the silkworm cocoon."

Following Quan Mao's instructions, the ten law enforcement disciples first took out ten small wooden barrels and lined them up in front of Quan Mao's cases, and then each held a large wooden tray, like butterflies passing through flowers, among hundreds of wooden boxes.

They picked up cocoons at random and did not stop in front of each wooden box. This was also the rule of the "match three luck" gambling method. Although it made no sense to do so, "match three luck" was the standard in gambling.

The highest form of gambling, it is inevitable to do everything to the extreme. Only by adding some ritual regulations can the nobility of this gambling method be highlighted.

Different types of silkworm cocoons were poured into corresponding wooden barrels. After a thousand silkworm cocoons were added to each barrel, ten law enforcement disciples took turns shaking the barrels to fully mix the cocoons inside.

When the shaking was almost done, Quan Mao called out two disciples holding small trays and ordered them to use their spiritual power to take ten silkworm cocoons from the first wooden barrel through the air, and then separate them on the east and west sides. Next, Zhixia and

Zhixiazi decided who would choose first by guessing odd and even numbers. Both parties were well prepared for this. Because Zhixia was a respected person, she first placed a small bag made of the finest Yousi silk on the table. The bag contained

There are black and white gambling stones. To identify the cocoons, you need to guess whether the number of white gambling stones inside is single or double. Xunyi nodded and said, "I have written it down, but let's agree on a few more code words. For example, frowning means the first five cocoons."

, bite your lips with the last five or something, so that it is less likely to be seen through by others."

Zhixia said angrily, "Do you think I need your guidance so many times?"

Xun Yi smiled and said, "It's better to be prepared. A few more code words will make it even more difficult for others to trace."

When they returned to the other courtyard, Wen Bing and his four senior disciples were gathering together and whispering. They were also curious about the mystery of Yuzi's sword.

Zhixia ignored them and took Xunyi directly into the quiet room. The two selected the cocoons again, and then practiced the code words they had set. At this point, Zhixia felt completely at ease.
