Lin Zuo laughed, "Have you forgotten where this place is, little friend?"
Seeing a deck of Pai Gow placed on his table, Hun Xiaotian knew that if he wanted to get some information from him, it would take a lot of effort.
Although Zhuquefang is a gambling house, it can be considered as abiding by the rules and treats himself with courtesy. If he uses force to suppress others, he will inevitably be criticized.
"Old sir, how do you want to play?"
"My friend, if you lose, you will keep six thousand taels. If you win, you will still keep six thousand taels. Let me tell you the real news."
"Also, this market place is not a place for a fairy like me to have fun. No matter whether you win or lose, I still ask you to show your respect and don't come here again."
Hun Xiaotian was a little unhappy. It didn't matter whether he came here or not, but six thousand taels in exchange for a vague news seemed a bit of a loss! So he said:
"Six thousand taels are exchanged for one piece of news. The old gentleman is very good at making calculations!"
Lin Zuo said: "If people in the Ming Dynasty don't tell secret words, how precious is the Arhat in the Heart of the Earth to cultivators? If it were really placed in front of me, I wouldn't even exchange it for 60,000 taels, let alone only 6,000 taels."
Hun Xiaotian lightly tapped the table with his fingers, "It seems that I have no reason to refuse! I just don't know whether the old gentleman's information is accurate."
"I dare to use my head as a guarantee. If it is not true, I can come and get it at any time."
Hearing his determination, Xiaotian immediately said: "Sure, just follow the old man, what do you want to do?"
"I think I am no match for you in terms of cultivation, but since we are here in the Suzaku Boat, we will follow the rules here and have a fair fight without using any spiritual power."
After saying that, he turned over the deck of Pai Gow in front of him one by one for inspection. Hun Xiaotian looked at it carefully and found that the points were indeed normal cards. He continued: "This deck of Pai Gow uses special materials.
If it is made, it can isolate all true energy. You and I don’t even need to use spiritual power. The outcome of the game will be decided, okay?”
Hun Xiaotian thought for a while, this was indeed fair, and said: "Okay!"
"My little friend, you should all know the rules of Pai Gow! I am the dealer and you are Tianmen. I should take the cards first."
"Yeah! Got it, let's get started!"
Lin Zuo turned over all the cards, pressed them in the palm of his hand and kept rubbing them, his movements became faster and faster. After a while, only a few afterimages could be seen in his hands, and the cards in his hands kept changing like a leaping fish.
Location.
After seeing him blinking non-stop, Lin Zuo thought the time was right. The cards that had been shuffled into a dragon were pinched at the waist and folded into one.
Then he slowly drew the two leading cards into his hand.
"Damn... you're cheating."
Although his movements were almost invisible, Hun Xiaotian could still tell that what he took away were the two largest monkey cards, and the next cards he received were a pair of sky cards.
"My little friend, I'm willing to admit defeat. The old man only used tricks and didn't use half of his spiritual power. This is what I have said before."
Hun Xiaotian screamed that he had been fooled, how could he forget that he made a living by gambling, but now the deal was done and the situation was already a sure loss, what should he do?
Lin Zuo sneered in his heart, boy, I eat more salt than you eat rice. If you fight with me, you are still a little too young.
Qin Liao knew he didn't understand this technique, but looking at the expressions of the two of them, he could already guess a thing or two, and he was secretly worried for Yun Yi.
Hun Xiaotian took out two cards and held them in his hand, then slowly opened them. The old man thought he was going to open the cards, and was secretly happy, so he quickly came over.
Unexpectedly, Hun Xiaotian suddenly clenched his fist and smacked him in the face. Lin Zuo was caught off guard and quickly raised his hand to block it. In this way, Hun Xiaotian's trick was caught, and the two palms came together with a snap.
Hun Xiaotian pressed his palm on the table and grinned at him, "Old sir, I didn't use my spiritual power either."
Lin Zuo wanted to get his cards back, but he was old and weak, and the cards in his hand were taken away by him.
"I use strength."
Hun Xiaotian pressed the four cards together on the table and continued: "Old sir, I haven't shuffled the cards yet, how can it be considered fair?"
I saw his five fingers moving together to shuffle the cards. He flicked his little finger and pulled his middle finger. The five fingers kept turning and pulled out a series of afterimages.
Lin Zuo was stunned, "What? Wuying's hand, or one hand..."
He pressed the card with his palm and slowly drew it out. The four cards were lying on the table. Hun Xiaotian made a gesture:
"Old sir, please go first!"
Lin Zuo did not move the cards and looked at the young man in front of him blankly: "You...you...where did you learn the shadowless trick?"
This technique is regarded as the supreme technique by the Suzaku Sect. It does not rely on spiritual power. It can pull out the afterimage with hand speed alone. To master this technique, there is no doubt that there is a gambling king level. He learned it from the city lord ten years ago.
After ten years of hard training in this method, I have achieved my current achievements, and this person can actually use it with one hand. He is probably stronger than the city lord. People who like gambling, regardless of high or low, this method is compared to the true method of immortals and Buddhas in their hearts.
, even more precious.
Hun Xiaotian didn't want to undermine his confidence and said: "If the old gentleman doesn't take the cards, I will take them first."
Lin Zuo said oh, and then he remembered that there was still a bet going on. He asked himself to take the cards first. The bet was really fair and couldn't be more fair. Obviously, he didn't remember the cards. What he was betting on now was luck.
.
He gingerly pulled out two cards, opened them and saw that they were three points. In this case, he lost, and the other two cards must be the six points of the Heaven Card and the Monkey Card. According to the rules of Pai Gow, he was the Heaven Card.
The character is five o'clock, while the opponent's character is eight o'clock, which is bigger than myself.
Hun Xiaotian turned over the cards and confirmed his guess.
"Hi! It seems that my luck is better."
Lin Zuo threw away the gambling items in his hand and said, "I am too blind to see Mount Tai. I am convinced that I lost today."
"It's just a matter of whether you accept or not. It's just a game. If it weren't for the fact that there was no way out, I wouldn't bother the old gentleman today."
The words he spoke were outspoken and neither humble nor arrogant, which made Lin Zuo look at him highly.
"Benru." He called behind him.
"The disciple is here."
Benru girl walked out of the inner room in response, and saw Hun Xiaotian empress staring at her gently. She had changed into some decent clothes. Although the waves were not as majestic, Hun Xiaotian felt that this long dress was more suitable for her.
"Hurry and invite the city lord to come. Tell him that a distinguished guest is coming."
"yes."
Benru followed the order and left, but Qin Jiaozhi pinched Hun Xiaotian's waist again. Feeling annoyed, he lightly kicked him again.
How come she didn't understand the meaning of that look in her eyes? She just didn't understand! How could anyone still like this look? If she hadn't followed her, as Junior Sister Zhou said, there would have been one more Ben Ru sister in Nanhai.
Xiaotian smiled bitterly, he had no conscience, he really had never thought of it this way.
Lin Zuo made a note: "Fairy, please take a seat quickly."
Qin Liaozhi hummed and sat down on the chair next to him.
Hun Xiaotian felt more and more that Qin Liozhi was cute. Although she deliberately wanted to imitate Junior Sister Zhou, the shadow engraved deep in her soul was still the gentle and virtuous Senior Sister Qin.
"My little friend, I am willing to admit defeat, so I will tell you all the information I know."
Hun Xiaotian retracted his mind, and after all the trouble, he was finally able to hear some useful news.
"Speaking of the 'Arhat at the Center of the Earth' is actually a taboo topic in this city."
"Oh? Why?"
"Once that thing appears, it will cause a bloody storm within a hundred miles."
Xiaotian nodded and said that it was understandable. After all, it was a holy fruit, and there must be many people competing for it.
"The last time that thing appeared was a hundred years ago. The fierce competition was so brutal that the city of Pandou was also affected. The fight between immortals and immortals did not care about the life and death of mortals. After the battle, the population was reduced to one or two out of ten."
"This... was taken away by who later?"
Thinking of the harmless appearance of the little junior brother, I couldn't believe that he would participate in that fight, not to mention that the little junior brother was still a child.
Lin Zuo shook his head and said: "I don't know that. At that time... I wasn't born yet!"
"All I know is that since that time, the four city lords have joined forces to seal up Fanyan Mountain, and no one is allowed to get close to it."
"Huanyan Mountain?"
"That's right, the holy fruit comes from the Huoyan Mountain in the Baizhi Secret Realm. The spiritual fruit always erupts along with the magma. I haven't heard of anyone going in."
"Is that so?"
"Well! The temperature of the magma in the volcano is extremely high. I am afraid that it will be difficult for a strong person in the Dzogchen Earth King Realm to enter. I know you two will not listen to your advice, but the mountain is related to the safety of the four cities, so I have to ask the city lord to come forward.
