Chapter 399: Picture Scroll of Four Seasons, Yizipi (4k)
I thought that the first person to come to the divination would be the female host of the Void Dao. Unexpectedly, a snake turned into a dragon and got the first step. I sensed a strange force pointing towards Zhao Qing, the golden carp.
With a slight movement of thought, he spit out a huge bubble and intercepted it.
The next moment, this bubble, which was only visible in Zhao Qing's eyes, began to shrink rapidly. There were tens of millions of colorful rays of light inside that were constantly refracting, seemingly weaving extremely complex information, leading the opponent to go deeper step by step, and feeding back the secret technique of divination.
The Spirit of Ice Chi.
"Not good!" Although there was only a hundred feet distance between them, the dragon spirit beside Chang Yueyang was not aware of the many traps set by the golden carp at all. Instead, he felt that the more he divined, the smoother his mind became, as if he was experiencing it all over again.
He is as powerful as when his physical body is still alive.
As a result, if it wasn't paying attention, it discovered that for some reason, it had forgotten to control the energy in the dragon ball. In an instant, the whole bead shone brightly, leaking out some power, stirring up a huge amount of spiritual energy from heaven and earth, and became a
The most eye-catching presence in the palace.
And because he was unprepared for the dragon spirit, Chang Yueyang, who was the closest, was immediately attacked by this force. In the blink of an eye, in front of everyone, his face was frozen by the extremely cold air before even showing a look of fear.
It turned into a solid ice sculpture, shook a few times, and fell to the ground.
Just as Long Ling was trying to cast a spell to thaw, Zhe Ge Wangchu, who had been observing this scene from a distance, snorted coldly, suddenly stimulating the gradually dormant energy and blood of the person in the ice sculpture, causing it to release a large amount of heat, and
The outer ice exploded into pieces, but as a result, he was exhausted and lost energy for a short time.
Leaving aside this loser who made a fool of himself in public, in fact, the spells of all the wizards on the field were not perfectly successful every time:
Some people used the art of transfiguration, trying to use the rare treasures in their hands to replace the Chao bacteria in the jade gui, but as a result, their fingers disappeared. Some people also set up a divination array, and a heavy fog suddenly arose inside.
Thunder struck and all the materials were destroyed.
Glancing at these failed situations, Jin Li spit out a few new bubbles, intercepted Long Ling's revival, and pointed at the divination of others. He looked at Zhao Qing, who seemed to have no high-end operations, and thought for a moment.
He came closer and said:
"This kind of gambling involving divination can be said to be what this fish is best at. It is easy to beat these little guys. Maybe you need my help?"
"No need." Zhao Qing seemed to have arranged something, and started to walk towards the square seat in the other corner, and at the same time he sent a message to refuse.
For her, except for Chang Yueyang and Gumi Fucheng, who are protected by the "Six Qi" level power, the other wizards from the local Shouling family, although their inheritance is superb, their equipment is quite average and cannot stop her at all.
The "other mind communication" that is performed silently.
With an almost completely transparent "vision", even if Zhao Qing knows nothing about divination or prayer, she can still be sure of victory, not to mention that she is actually quite proficient and has come up with another ingenious trick.
…
About half an hour later, the jade square gui that was originally translucent, allowing room for observation, became sealed inside and outside. The first round of gambling has entered the stage of counting one by one. Some people are happy, and others
Someone is worried.
It was probably dinner time, and everyone who was staying in the extended space of the hall saw multiple side doors appearing on the far wall. The doors opened, and several young women carrying bamboo baskets and wooden boxes walked in.
, placed the food inside in front of their husbands.
As locals and all over 30 years old, most of the wizards on the field have married, had children, and started families. Whenever they take turns in the Mingtang, their wives will deliver prepared meals on time as a token of their gratitude.
The meaning of caring.
Although marriage is not allowed for people with the same surname, and people with other surnames are strictly prohibited from entering the Yuling Park, if the wife or concubine is already pregnant and has a child, she can still be regarded as half a concubine and is allowed to move freely within the formation.
Seeing a few unfamiliar faces in the hall, the women seemed a little surprised, but they quickly guessed their identities and showed a cordial and enthusiastic attitude. Several of the women walked up to Zhao Qing.
He handed several pastries into her hands with a smile.
"These pieces of 'sapphire cake' are a little bit of our kindness, please be sure to accept them." A woman explained enthusiastically, her voice as soft as the spring breeze: "These cakes are made of the unique sapphire flowers of Wanwei Mountain as the main ingredient.
Supplemented by several kinds of spiritual herbs and grains, it can supplement some of the mental consumption."
Smiling and nodding to several women, Zhao Qing, who had just won a lot, did not refuse, but took a piece of pastry and took a bite. Suddenly, a soft and glutinous texture was accompanied by a faint aura.
It spreads in the mouth and the aroma overflows, making people intoxicated.
He also got a few pieces of cakes, and Zhe Ge Wangshu put them on the table. When the women left from the side door, his majestic eyes swept across the crowd with different expressions, and said calmly: "Next, let's go
It’s time to unveil the Ding Jade Gui. Does anyone else want to increase the number of bets?”
Chang Yueyang, who had been manipulated by Jin Li to control the results of every divination and put everything on the line, but lost everything in the first few times of the first round, heard this and couldn't help but take two steps closer to the Ding Jade Gui, with both hands.
His eyes were faintly red, he hesitated for a moment, and finally made up his mind and said:
"I want to exchange for new chips. The Chao bacteria inside died half a quarter of an hour ago!"
"What about the treasure you exchanged for?" Zhe Gewangzhu calmly looked at the other party who had only a sword and a pearl on his body besides his robe, and asked:
"The divine weapon that symbolizes the identity of the next generation successor of the Chang family and the dragon ball that contains the soul of an ice chi are indeed of extremely high value. However, it seems that the ownership of both of them has not officially fallen into your hands yet!"
"I can set up a note and use my family's assets as collateral!" Having lost almost half of his personal fortune, Chang Yueyang really couldn't accept such a huge loss, and couldn't help but said: "If I can bet a hundred pairs of white jade,
, How many pieces of coix can be exchanged for ten thousand yi of gold?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "You can't exchange even one." Looking coldly at the gambler who was red-eyed after losing, Zhe Ge Wangchu glanced at Zhao Qing nearby,
Suddenly he laughed and refused:
"It will take a year or two to deal with such things as IOUs. I am a dying old man and I don't have time to spend time with young people."
"In addition, what about hundreds of pairs of Lingxi treasure armor, a thousand eight-foot ivory, and two hundred carts of cinnamon and fragrant wood?" Seeing that the chance of a final comeback was fleeting, Chang Yueyang was determined and added:
"These goods, loaded in huge ships and sold overseas, are parked in the port area southeast of Fuyangli. Theoretically, the price can reach 40,000 to 50,000 gold. Adding jade bis and gold, that's 60,000 to 70,000 gold!
Moreover, it can definitely be delivered in a short time!”
"No matter what, it is still something without a shadow now." Zeng Gewangchu looked at his anxious look, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth:
"Besides, I am not an ocean-going merchant who deals with your Chang family. Everything is calculated based on commodity prices. In my opinion, unused treasures are just a pile of waste. If you want to exchange for the barley chips I have on hand, unless you do something
Something to interest me in."
Holding the ice bead that brought him to this situation in his hand, Chang Yueyang hesitated for a moment between giving up and forcibly mortgaging it. Chang Yueyang seemed to have received some reminder and did not argue with the opponent who was deliberately blocking his path.
, but turned around and looked at the other people on the field.
Looking around, he took a deep breath, looked at the expressionless Zhe Ge Wangchu again, and said in a deep voice: "If I can exchange enough chips, I will donate the money I just raised in the name of Zhe Ge."
The property received will be used to help the orphans, widows and sick people in Yue Kingdom."
Before people die, they usually pay special attention to their posthumous reputation. In Chang Yueyang's opinion, Zhe Ge Wangshu should be no exception. As far as he is concerned, he doesn't care about the loss of 60,000 to 70,000 gold, he is just worried about it.
Such poor performance was exploited by enemies within the family.
By rescuing orphans and widows, he helped Zeng Ge become famous. No matter whether he lost or failed in the subsequent gambling battle, he had performed a righteous act after all, and he stood on the commanding heights, making it difficult for others to criticize him.
However, the next moment, Zeng Gewangchu opposite him sneered, "Do you think your generosity can move me? This is just your own performance! A sincere act of kindness is never done for others to see, let alone
Something to trade with."
"Did you know that since I set up this bet twelve years ago, I will donate all the money lost by everyone, so that when the villagers of the right age go out to find a match, they can help distribute it to the poor in need?"
Will all be donated? Hearing this, Zhao Qing, who had already learned about Chang Yueyang's provocation and was counterattacked, was also a little surprised. He vaguely felt that what Zeng Ge Wanghu said was indeed the truth. Although the other party had been staying at
Inside the Yu Temple, he also managed to perform many good deeds.
"Stop talking anymore! Those who are dishonest in their words must be dishonest in their hearts and ignorant of the right way. How can there be a way forward? I have recorded your prodigal behavior in this gambling game and sent it to the seven members of the Chang family.
Old man, let’s see if they are still willing to accept you as the next head of the family.”
He gave his opponent, who was secretly making extra moves, the opportunity to stop raising money several times, but got such a result. Zhe Ge Wangchu also felt a little sad, and seven green birds formed with his hand and flew towards the window at high speed.
At the same time, Chang Yueyang, whose cultivation was sealed, was thrown out of the Mingtang area and landed directly in the middle of a mud pond, covered with filth.
After tasting the wine as if nothing had happened, he filled it up again. He seemed to be in a much better mood and said with interest:
"Over the years, the major forces have become more and more accurate in their predictions of the real-life information of King Mu's treasure city. If nothing unexpected happens, this time it should appear deep in the mountains northwest of Yuji Dayi in our Yue Kingdom in a few months."
"According to legend, the luminous ever-full cup presented to King Mu by the Queen Mother of the West is hidden in this mysterious treasure city. I don't know if anyone can take it out during this expedition and use it with the Shaokang in my hand.
Shan Lei competes to see which wine is better?"
Although it seemed that he just wanted to see the world-famous peerless wine vessels, Zhao Qing's reaction clearly revealed a sense of loss and sadness, as well as a longing for the colorful scenery outside.
Yu Ji Dayi? It should be the later Yu Qian County. So, the current location of King Mu's treasure city is among the Fuyu Mountains? Hearing this, Zhao Qing felt thoughtful.
It was at this time that Shi Yiguang, who had won a lot according to Zhao Qing's bet but had not yet followed the bet this time, seemed to have finally made up his mind. He suddenly took out a scroll of silk cloth from his back and slowly unfolded it.
When I opened it, I saw four different patterns painted on it.
She held a piece of spiritual jade and white biscuit in the palms of her hands, and held the silk scroll in her fingertips, with bright light flashing in her eyes. The originally dim and dull picture scroll began to flow in color due to the injection of spiritual energy in the white biscuit.
, as if given life.
The scenery of the four seasons changes, spring flowers, autumn moon, summer rain and winter snow, each painting seems to tell a touching story. In the painting, the morning fungus grows in it, experiencing the cycle of life, blooming with a different kind of brilliance.
They grow in the painting, gradually growing from immature spores into lush fungi. After experiencing the baptism of the four seasons, they seem to have become tougher and longer-lived, and seem to have surpassed the limitations of life itself.
Those morning fungi that can only live for one day in reality have now experienced the changes of spring, summer, autumn and winter in the painting, becoming "long-lived" species that can go through four seasons.
Seeing this scene, Shi Yiguang's eyes revealed an indescribable tenderness and compassion, as if she was watching a group of small lives blooming in her hands.
"What I draw is exactly a tiny creature like the Chao fungus."
She gently stroked the scroll and murmured in a low voice: "In this scroll, you are no longer small bacteria that live and die, but you can go through wind and rain, witness the cycle of the four seasons, and can even become a symbol of 'longevity'.
Live forever."
Looking up at the incomprehensible Zeng Ge Wangchu in front of him, Shi Yiguang spoke softly but firmly: "Therefore, with all the chips I have on hand, the Ding Chao bacteria can live for many years."
"Oh?" It seemed that he was not surprised that the other party would show such a picture. Zhen Ge Wangchu smiled leisurely and replied: "Although in the picture you painted, the Chao Fungi can live forever, but for this Ding Jade Gui
This is still not true for the bacteria in it.”
"Therefore, with your behavior, you have actually lost the bargaining chip that could have been exchanged for nearly two cups of 'Holy Wine'." He opened the lid of the Ding-size jade gui and saw that the Chao fungus inside was on the verge of death.
He sighed with some regret:
"However, I really like your picture of the four seasons with the mushrooms painted on it, so I plan to exchange it for four five-color Ganoderma lucidum that is three thousand years old. I wonder if you can part with it, Miss Shi?"
…
Just as Zhao Qing and others were settling their bets and odds, and were preparing to enter the betting stage for No. 5 Jade Gui, an inconspicuous hill several hundred feet away, two to three hundred miles away, simultaneously started a meaningful battle.
A momentous meeting of four.
"Is this Yi Zipi you want to recommend really reliable?" Tian Guan glanced at the young man in white who was sitting on the top of the mountain, looking at the tens of millions of hectares of paddy fields in Fuzhong Datang to the east. Tian Guan looked at him again with a serious look on his face.
Fan Li, the Prime Minister of Yue, couldn't help but ask.
"What our Tian family needs now is a wise and prudent adviser, preferably one who has experienced the actual test of political struggle. But what you recommend is such a smooth-talking young man? What if it weren't for this?
With Sun Di’s guarantee, I thought you were joking?”
"As the third person in the Tian family of Qi State, you have never seen truly outstanding geniuses. Sun Changqing, the father of Sun Di, is an example. How can you make such a judgment on a person just because he is young?" Fan Li smiled slightly.
, retorted:
"Zipi could answer all the questions you just asked perfectly from a mountain away. To be fair and just, he is still better than Sun Di. But when I really saw his face, because of this
It is really unreasonable to look down on the other party for any reason."
"No wonder, Tian Guan, you are much older than Tian Chang, but your cultivation level is suppressed by your second brother. It turns out that there are too many hidden prejudices in your heart, which have produced all kinds of stagnation derived from Taoism."
