Shan Yuxin's eyes flashed with a cunning light: "Mr. Wei, I suddenly thought of something. Although we have all sworn the inner demon poison oath, the bet is already effective, but there is still a lack of witnesses. In case, I am
Just in case, Daoyou Chen loses 300,000 yuan of stone.
He left in anger, and then created rumors that we worked together to set up a trap to bully him, and Mr. Wei violently suppressed him in the name of the Wei family.
Isn't it unfair to spread rumors?"
Everyone couldn't help but be startled again. The old man was very attentive and even thought of this.
Xia Chen sneered and said: "Mr. Shan, why didn't you say you lost? There might be rumors saying that I forced you to kill me, and I still suffered an unjust injustice."
Shan Yuxin chuckled: "Don't be angry, Daoyou Chen. I'm just making an analogy. Just in case, what you said makes sense. What if you win, we lose, and others don't know about the bet, and they still forcefully threaten you?"
If we die, it will not be good for you either."
Wei Hong said angrily: "Then what do you think we should do? Do we need to invite someone to witness the bet now? That would be too troublesome."
Shan Yuxin shook his head and said: "There is no need to invite people to witness, isn't this Marrow Street just right? As long as we go out and talk about the bet in public, countless people will immediately witness us. In front of everyone, no one can
Regret."
He looked at Xia Chen and said, "What do you think of Chen Daoyou?"
Xia Chen looked at him calmly: "Excellent!"
Wei Hong, Shopkeeper Zhang, and Mrs. Zhang looked at each other. Although they thought it was a bit grandiose, what Shan Yuxin said did make some sense, so they nodded.
Several people walked out of Kunpeng Store and came to the street. It was already past noon, which was the busiest time.
Shan Yuxin walked to the middle of the street, cleared his throat, and shouted with luck: "Fellow Taoists, I am Shan Yuxin, a senior marrow connoisseur from Yuecheng. Today, I am with Young Master Wei Hong of the Wuling Wei family, Miss Wei, and shop owner Kunpeng Zhang."
My wife and I are engaged in a life-and-death bet with this fellow Taoist Chen, please bear witness to us!"
His voice was loud and loud, and almost half of the people in the street heard his voice. They immediately came over with interest. In the blink of an eye, a large group gathered around the five people.
Shan Yuxin used the eloquent speech skills of a senior marrow connoisseur and explained the identities of several people and the gambling situation in a sonorous and forceful manner, which immediately shocked everyone.
"It turned out to be a bet on the marrow stone. Although I often see people betting against it, it is really rare to see such a big deal, hundreds of thousands of yuan of stone. There is even a life-and-death bet."
"Yes, and the status of the gamblers is also very good. Needless to say, the people of the Wei family, the family of master marrow appraisers, are all very important. The old man is also a senior marrow appraiser. Although the shop owner and his wife are not experts in marrow appraiser
, but since he also runs a store, he must be very discerning. What ability does this rustic young man have to dare to bet against them? "
"The young man's net worth is really astonishing. He actually has 300,000 yuan of stone. It seems that a person cannot be judged by his appearance!"
After hearing Shan Yuxin's introduction, everyone couldn't help but marvel.
During the discussion, people kept coming, almost filling the huge street with water.
Not far away, three beautiful and picturesque girls with bright eyes and white teeth happened to be walking on this street. Seeing this scene, they couldn't help but show curiosity.
If Xia Chen saw them, he would definitely be very surprised. It was the girls named Rongrong, Shui Xia and Ming He whom he met in Fengcheng a few days ago. He never expected that they would meet again in a different city.
"What happened in front? There are so many people around, Sister Rongrong, why don't we go over and have a look." Shui Xia pointed with her hand.
Rongrong smiled and shook her head: "We are all monks. Can't we just use spiritual telemetry? Why go there?"
Shui Xia knew that she didn't want to crowd around with those ordinary people to watch the fun, so she smiled and said: "Okay, I will use my spiritual mind to see it first, and if it is something interesting, I will tell you."
As soon as she reached out her spiritual thoughts, she let out a soft sigh. After a moment, her expression suddenly changed: "Why would he participate in the gambling game?"
"What's wrong?" Minghe and Rongrong asked in unison.
Shui Xia came back to her senses: "Sister Rongrong, do you remember the young man Chen Xia you met more than ten days ago?"
Rongrong wondered: "Of course I remember, is he in front?"
Shui Xia nodded: "That's right. I don't know why, but he made a life-and-death bet with someone else, and now he's asking someone to be a witness. No wonder there are so many people around."
She recounted what she heard.
A bet of life and death? Rongrong's face changed and she said without thinking: "Let's go and have a look."
The three women immediately came closer in a hurry.
I saw Shan Yuxin cupping his fists and saying: "Although this bet is our own business, today I ask all fellow Taoists to bear witness. No matter what the outcome is, both of us will admit defeat and will never regret it."
"Okay, we have all heard it. So many people have testified for you. Hurry up and open the marrow. We can't wait." Someone in the audience shouted loudly.
At this time, two waiters brought out a long pine table from Kunpeng's shop and asked Xia Chen to place the three marrow stones on it. They also showed it clearly so that everyone could see it clearly.
Shan Yuxin extended his hand to Xia Chen and said, "Fellow Taoist Chen, please open the marrow stone on the spot. With so many fellow Taoists testifying for us, no one can lie."
Xia Chen nodded, stepped forward, opened a box, and took out the precious tree-shaped marrow stone inside.
Everyone held their breath and stared with wide eyes, but when they saw the marrow stone for the first time, they all exclaimed in surprise.
"Are you kidding? This is a two-ring stone. How can a two-ring stone produce its marrow? What are you betting on? You will definitely lose." Someone immediately said in astonishment.
A buzz of discussion immediately started, and everyone looked at each other with more or less astonishment on their faces. They didn't understand why Xia Chen wanted to make a bet that was bound to lose.
Rongrong, Shui Xia and Ming He's expressions also changed.
"This guy seems to be quite smart, so why would he bet with others with the second ring stone? Isn't this stupid?" Shui Xia said anxiously.
"He doesn't know how to appreciate marrow, and his wealth is not small. He is probably being targeted by others, and they are teaming up to trick him, right? No matter how hard Wuling governs these marrow appraisers, they can't catch them all." Ming He also looked ugly.
road.
Rongrong frowned and just stared at Xia Chen with a calm face without saying anything. The situation in front of her looked like Xia Chen was being framed by someone, but was this young man really that simple?
Thinking of the unfathomable feeling she had when she met Xia Chen more than ten days ago, Rongrong suddenly felt a little dazed.
Originally it was just a chance encounter, and an ordinary monk like Xia Chen would not be able to leave any mark on her heart. But for some reason, she was deeply impressed by this young man.
There seemed to be an invisible heartstring gently pulsing.
"Sister Rongrong, let's stop it. Wuling doesn't allow monks to gamble on marrow anyway, so we can't just watch Chen Xia being defrauded of money?" Shui Xia said angrily.
Rongrong shook her head: "How to stop it? Not allowing monks to gamble on marrow is just an announcement, not a rule. Our intervention can only serve as a warning. Besides, they have all sworn the inner demon poison oath, how can they not gamble?"
Shui Xia suddenly felt like a deflated rubber ball: "Then you have to watch Chen Xia lose 300,000 yuan?"
Rongrong was silent, and after a long time she said: "If he doesn't want to gamble, no one can force him. If he wants to, it's his own fault. When Wuling assesses freshmen, one looks at perseverance, and the other looks at character. If these two tests
He can get through it, and even if he doesn't understand the essence, he won't be tricked. If he insists on betting, I can only say that I am very disappointed."
Shui Xia and Ming He looked at her in astonishment, not knowing what to say.
Xia Chen ignored everyone's shocked comments and just opened the three marrow stone boxes one after another.
Seeing that the three marrow stones were all two-ring stones, everyone looked shocked and the discussion couldn't help but get louder.
"I thought it was some high-level gambling game, but it's really disappointing. It turns out that it's just a second-ring stone that was thrown on the street and no one picked it up. It's disgusting to bet three pieces of rubbish with such a big sum."
"This guy surnamed Chen has money and no place to spend. He paid 300,000 yuan to bet that the second ring stone would reveal the marrow. Damn, if you don't want that much money, you can give it to me, give it to me."
"It's hard to say. In the history of Wuling, isn't there an example of the marrow coming out of the second ring stone? The stone hasn't been cut open yet. How do you know if there is marrow inside?"
"Haha, can a special case be taken seriously? Why don't we make a bet? If the stone is cut open and there is a marrow inside, I will pull out the brain and stuff it into your butt."
"I think this person surnamed Chen may have been tricked by them. Alas, Wuling has spent so much effort to rectify it, but there are still people who have evil intentions to trick monks from other places. It is really a disgrace to our Wuling."
…
Shan Yuxin heard the discussion, cleared his throat, and said loudly: "Fellow Taoists, I want to explain that although these marrow stones are only two-ring stones, Daoyou Chen firmly believes that the ones he bought can produce marrow, and he took the initiative.
He was the one who took the initiative in the bet! We just agreed passively, and we did not join forces to harm and ruin the reputation of the Wuling marrow appraiser. Please be aware of this."
Wei Hong also said: "Yes, please don't misunderstand. This bet was indeed initiated by Daoyou Chen, and he also took the initiative to bet the 300,000 yuan. If you don't believe it, you can ask Daoyou Chen himself."
Xia Chen glanced at everyone and said loudly: "Yes, since you are here to witness, let me be fair. It was indeed me who proposed this bet. I had to bet. Although I don't know how to judge the essence.
, but I firmly believe that the three two-ring stones I bought will definitely be able to extract the marrow!"
Everyone looked at him in astonishment and couldn't understand. Since they don't know how to identify marrow, why do they still believe that garbage stones can extract marrow? Isn't this a fool?
"Is this kid stupid? He doesn't understand and is still trying to be brave. I really want to drag him down. Sister Rongrong, if you don't care anymore, I will take action." Shui Xia said anxiously.
"No, just let him show off his strength. Isn't he confident? When the stone is cut open and the marrow cannot be extracted, let's see how he ends up." Rongrong's face turned dark and she said angrily.
She was originally calm and indifferent, neither happy with things nor sad with herself, but for some reason, when she saw Xia Chen doing something stupid so determinedly, she couldn't help but feel angry. (To be continued.)
