Chapter seven hundred and twelve willing to gamble to admit defeat
Minghe said curiously: "Hey, Sister Rongrong, it turns out that you can also be angry. I thought you were always aloof and calm and would never get angry for others."
Rongrong said with a dark face: "I am also a human being, why can't I be angry?"
Seeing everyone stunned, Xia Chen stopped talking. He walked to the first piece of marrow stone shaped like a precious tree, raised his palm, and with a movement of his mind, the sky-splitting edge immediately penetrated the edge of his palm and turned into an extremely sharp blade.
Just before he saw it, he was about to raise the knife and cut the marrow stone.
Suddenly, Shan Yuxin said loudly: "Wait a minute."
Damn... even Xia Chen frowned. The old man still had to finish, so he had to patiently ask: "What's wrong with you?"
Shan Yuxin said calmly: "Fellow Daoist Chen, since everyone has been invited to witness this bet, don't you think it would be better to ask someone else to cut the stone? It also avoids the suspicion of you being a secret agent."
He was secretly proud of himself: I have eliminated all possible cheating methods on your part, let’s see what you can say if you lose.
Xia Chen sighed, put away his sky-splitting edge, and said, "Okay, which fellow Taoist would you like to come up and cut the stone?"
Everyone discussed and made recommendations for a long time, and finally selected a well-known middle-aged magical monk.
The middle-aged monk clasped his fists at Xia Chen and others: "I am Lu Xuan, I have the honor to witness the gambling of several fellow Taoists. I will definitely do it impartially and without any bias. Thank you for your trust."
Xia Chen and others said a few polite words in return.
Lu Xuan walked up. Although he didn't have Xia Chen's ability to split the sky, as a monk with supernatural powers, he naturally changed in countless ways. With a movement of his mind, he immediately condensed a cold and gleaming sword in his hand.
"Okay!" This move was actually not very impressive, but as the beginning of the gambling game, everyone cheered.
Lu Xuan raised his sword light, with a solemn expression on his face, and without any hesitation, he slashed down the marrow stone shaped like a precious tree with one strike.
Although everyone knew that there could be no marrow in the two-ring stone, the atmosphere at this moment was important, and their hearts could not help but lift up. They stared at it with wide eyes without blinking.
Shui Xia and Ming He couldn't help but become nervous. They held hands and stared at the field with their beautiful eyes.
Although Rongrong was angry, she was concerned and confused after all, so she couldn't help but concentrate and look at the scene.
Most of the medullary stone exists in the center of the medullary stone. Therefore, when cutting the medullary stone, the medullary stone is cut directly from the center. The medullary stone is a non-viscous fluid and is much denser than water, so there is no need to worry about splashing.
There was some loss when it came out.
With a flash of sword light, the tree-shaped marrow stone suddenly separated from the middle and became two halves.
Snow-white marrow fluid slowly gushes out from between the two separate pieces of marrow stone. It looks particularly eye-catching against the dark gray stone background.
The whole street suddenly became silent, as quiet as a deserted square.
Lu Xuan held up the sword in a daze, forgetting to retract it. An unbelievable and ridiculous expression appeared on his steady and serious face, as if what he had just cut was not a marrow stone, but a talking caterpillar.
No one laughed at him, and everyone's reaction was even worse than that of this prestigious monk.
The expressions on everyone's faces were as if they had seen eighty old women performing a striptease on a pole at the same time. They were filled with an unreal feeling called a dream.
"Ah..." Shui Xia and Ming He opened their round eyes wide, their delicate and beautiful faces full of confusion. A completely unexpected scene appeared, leaving the two little girls in deep shock.
Rongrong pursed her lips tightly, her beautiful eyes as bright as autumn water flashed with a strong light of disbelief, and her spiritual mind scanned the snow-white Yuanshi marrow dozens of times in an instant.
Her mind went blank, and only one sentence flashed through her mind: The marrow was released. The marrow of this piece of waste stone actually came out...
"Impossible!" Shan Yuxin yelled subconsciously, and then roared, "Impossible, how can the marrow of the two-ring stone come out? This marrow stone is fake, absolutely fake."
His face turned red and he pointed at Xia Chen: "You must have done something wrong just now!"
Xia Chen didn't say anything, he just spread his hands and pointed at Kunpeng Marrow Stone Shop, and then pointed at Lu Xuan.
The meaning is self-evident: the marrow stone was taken out from Kunpeng's shop, and Lu Xuan was responsible for cutting the stone. Xia Chen was not involved from the beginning to the end. How could he do anything in front of everyone?
Shan Yuxin's slander seemed too angry and frustrating.
Shopkeeper Zhang, his wife, Wei Hong, and the squeamish girl were all shocked. They looked at the gurgling Yuanshi marrow and were speechless in shock.
The Yuan Stone Marrow was actually cut out of the Second Ring Stone. What incredible odds would it take to achieve such an astonishing coincidence? This young man surnamed Chen is really lucky.
The expression on Shan Yuxin's face was indescribable. It was red with purple, and purple with black, as if he had been unable to pass stool for several days and was extremely uncomfortable.
He pointed at Xia Chen and tried his best to say something, but his lips were pursed, but there was nothing to say.
The essence of stone marrow was cut out. Facts speak louder than words, and so many people witnessed it with their own eyes. Even if they wanted to deny the accusation, it was impossible.
Among the whole audience, Xia Chen was the only one who remained calm and composed. He did not move, but took out a bottle and threw it towards Lu Xuan, who was still in a daze: "Please help me, fellow Daoist Lu, to pack up the Yuanshi Marrow."
, don’t waste it on the ground.”
Lu Xuan reached out his hand to take the bottle calmly, and after another long while, he woke up as if from a dream, his face immediately turned red.
He took a deep look at Xia Chen, clasped his fists in shame, and then carefully put the Essence Stone into the bottle and said loudly: "Everyone just saw with your own eyes that this Essence Stone was cut by myself.
Come out of the Yuan Stone Marrow, congratulations to Fellow Daoist Chen for getting the Yuan Stone Marrow and winning the battle."
He carefully held the bottle and came to Xia Chen: "Fellow Daoist Chen has a sharp eye and can turn decay into magic. I admire you so much. There are twelve drops of Yuanshi marrow in this marrow stone. It has been installed. Please take a look at it."
"
Xia Chen took the bottle and returned the courtesy: "Thank you, Mr. Lu, for your hard work and being a witness to Xia's gambling."
Lu Xuan quickly said, "Don't dare, don't dare." When he looked at Xia Chen's eyes again, there was already a hint of awe in his eyes.
At this time, the faces of the onlookers gradually returned to calmness, and the gazes they looked at Xia Chen became different. Originally, most of them showed contempt and incomprehension, but now, they were filled with shock and concern.
Regardless of whether it is a coincidence or not, at least the marrow of this second-ring stone, which is recognized as a waste stone, has come out. As long as the marrow comes out, it is a good stone.
"Okay, Chen Dao has such a good eye!" Someone shouted. Suddenly, everyone cheered enthusiastically.
Xia Chen smiled and handed over his hands: "Thank you, thank you all. I really don't know how to identify the essence. I just blindly fooled around and got it right. Lucky, lucky, haha."
Everyone laughed, thinking that even if you blindly blindly blindly blind yourself, the blindness would be too outrageous.
After Shui Xia and Ming He became nervous, they couldn't help but smile.
Shui Xia smiled and said: "Sister Rongrong, you were just worried about how he ended up losing, and what was the result? I didn't expect that this kid was so lucky that he could even extract the marrow from a piece of waste stone. I really didn't expect it."
Minghe nodded his head vigorously, with a slight look of confusion on his face: "I wonder why he is so confident? It's like believing that the sun will definitely come out from the west, but really, the sun really does come out from the west
Well, cough, this is really strange."
Rongrong snorted: "It's just a coincidence. There are still two stones. If he can cut out the marrow of both, that would be true luck."
Having said that, the girl's eyes still showed joy, and she was obviously happy for Xia Chen.
Everyone congratulated them, but in the eyes of Shan Yuxin, Zhang and his wife, Wei Hong and others, they were filled with shock and anger.
Especially shopkeeper Zhang and his wife, Shan Yuxin, and the three of them were angry and shocked, and suddenly felt a sense of fear.
They gambled with their lives because they never thought that they would lose. But now, when they suddenly see the marrow coming out of the waste stone, you can imagine the fear in their hearts.
It is definitely a coincidence that this two-ring stone can produce the marrow, it is definitely a coincidence... The three of them kept thinking silently in their hearts.
Xia Chen turned around, looked at Wei Hong and others and said: "Since the first marrow stone has emerged, it means that one of you has lost. So, Mr. Wei, are you willing to admit defeat first, Mr. Shan or Mrs. Zhang, the shopkeeper?
Commit suicide in public to complete the bet?"
Everyone calmed down immediately and looked at a few people intently.
Before the marrow was extracted from the waste stone, all pity and confusion were directed towards Xia Chen, but after the marrow was extracted, the pity naturally turned to Wei Hong and others.
In particular, Shan Yuxin and Mr. Zhang, the couple, made a life-and-death bet and swore an oath of inner demon poison. This was no joke. If they really lost, they would really die.
Shan Yuxin's face turned blue and his body was trembling. He didn't want to die, he didn't want to die at all. But he couldn't say a word, so he could only raise his eyes and look at Wei Hong with pleading eyes.
Wei Hong was the first to bet with Xia Chen. Now that the marrow is out, Wei Hong should naturally be the first to lose.
Although doing this seems a bit disrespectful to Mr. Wei, compared with his life, nothing is naturally important.
Shopkeeper Zhang and his wife were a little stronger than Shan Yuxin, but not much better. They also turned blue and looked at Wei Hong with the same thoughts as Shan Yuxin.
They were the last to bet with Xia Chen. Even if they lost, they should be the last to lose.
Wei Hong's face became extremely ugly, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
He naturally understood the thoughts of Shan Yuxin and Shopkeeper Zhang. Although he didn't have to hand over his life, he still gambled all his wealth with Xia Chen, especially that bottle of diluted Yuanshi marrow, which was not his own.
, but the family gave it to him for another important purpose.
If he lost to Xia Chen like this, he would not be able to explain to the Wei family at all, and he would lose the face of the Wei family in public and be left penniless by a non-local cultivator, which would make Wei Hong heartbroken.
Suddenly, the squeamish girl said coldly: "Since this bet was made by you together, it should be considered completed after all three marrow stones have come out. Now what does it matter if only one marrow stone comes out? It's just a progress.
One-third, we still don’t know who will win and who will lose. If you ask my cousin to admit defeat now, you are breaking the rules of the game. You should be careful of the inner demon poison!"
