Chapter 1876 The First Gambling Game
Jia Zhengjin built a wooden house in a quiet valley outside Kangjun City and lived in it temporarily.
To kill time, make a fishing rod and fish every day.
On the afternoon of the third day, Yue Lang finally appeared.
"Would you like to bet?" he asked directly.
Jia Zhengjin put away his fishing rod: "I've been waiting for you. Have you chosen the target?"
"Of course!" Yue Lang smiled, "Choose carefully and set off now?"
"good!"
The two agreed, and Yue Lang cast a spell to roll up Jia Zhengjin and turn it into golden light. In an instant, the world spun and the scenery changed.
After landing, I found myself in a large mountain with a small village at the foot of the mountain.
"Where is this place?" Jia Zhengjin asked with a frown as he glanced at the dense forest around him.
"This is Niulan Village, Bashui County, Yunzhou, Tang Dynasty." Yue Lang pointed to the sparse village buildings at the foot of the mountain. "The village is about twenty miles away from the county town. The place we are at is Niujiao Mountain, which is Niulan Village. A place where hunters often come to hunt. The first thing I want to bet on is the heart of a young man named Niu Xi in Niulan Village."
"How to bet?" Jia Zhengjin asked.
Yue Lang smiled and said: "The young man I selected, Niu Xi, is twenty-three this year. His family is poor and he has an old father who is sick. His father, Niu Bao, only has one son. His wife died early. In order to raise his son, he Big, I ate everything I cried, and now I am sick from overwork. It's just that Niu Xi has been ignorant since he was a child, and he always hangs out with Xiaoxiao. Everyone is known to be unfilial. I'll bet you that this Niu Xi is. It depends on whether he will change his ways and turn around in this month, or he will not change his ways and make his father angry. Because I chose the person and set up the bet, I will bet that he has no filial piety at all. Will repent."
"Then I can only bet that he will turn around?" Jia Zhengjin asked.
"That's right!" Yue Lang nodded, "From now on, you and I will use our own methods. Under the three-point agreement, we can use any method to try to change or maintain Niu Xi's mind. As the saying goes, filial piety comes first, one month It is not impossible for Niu Xi to turn around. If you are ready, we can go our separate ways and complete the bet within one month. Of course, you can also admit defeat directly. "
"It's not my style to admit defeat before it starts." Jia Zhengjin said calmly, "You are not allowed to use spells to confuse your mind, you are not allowed to let the target know about the gambling, and you are not allowed to be seen by the target as not a mortal, right?"
"Exactly!"
"Okay, what does Niu Xi look like? Which direction does he live in?"
"In such a small village, of course I asked about it myself!" Yue Lang said with a smile.
"You know everything and I have to find out for myself?"
"It's just a trivial matter. Isn't this difficult to deal with?"
"Okay! Then who are you going to become?"
"Did you accept the bet?"
"certainly!"
"Since I accepted the bet, we are now opponents." Yue Lang laughed, "As an opponent, how could I tell you? Don't ask me who I am incarnate, I don't care what identity you use, we all use our own methods, You’ll find out in a month! Take the first step.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned into golden light and flew directly towards Niulan Village.
The three-point agreement actually means nothing to Jia Zhengjin.
Because he doesn't know how to use confusing spells, and he can't take the initiative to tell the other party about the gambling. As long as he is not killed and resurrected, people probably won't be able to tell the difference between him and a mortal.
Now that the gambling game has begun, Yue Lang takes action in advance, and Jia Zhengjin also heads to Niulan Mountain.
He could have Nuwa teleport directly down, but the mountain was actually not too high, and he also needed a new face and identity.
After thinking for a moment, I directly used soul projection to transform into the appearance of Lady Fox, and walked slowly down the mountain road.
This mountain is just behind the village, and in addition to hunters, there are also woodcutter.
As soon as we arrived near the mountainside, we heard the sound of trees being cut down nearby.
Jia Zhengjin slowly approached and soon found a young man holding a hatchet.
The man was about twenty years old. His hair was tied into a whip and tied around his head. He was wearing a patched cloth, and a pair of straw sandals were even torn.
When the young man saw Jia Zhengjin transformed into Lady Fox, he immediately stopped his movements and showed a surprised expression.
It was the first time he had seen this lady fox, and she was very unfamiliar. Secondly, Mrs. Fox is very beautiful. Vixens can charm people to death.
The appearance of such a charming young girl on this mountain, whom he had never seen before, would certainly make him puzzled.
In addition to doubts, he was more attracted by Aunt Fox's beauty. There was no woman with such appearance in the small mountain village.
"Brother, may I ask if there is a Niulan Village near here?" Jia Zhengjin pretended to be cautious and came to the other party and asked softly.
"Go down the mountain road and you'll be there soon." The young man stared straight at the beauty in front of him, unable to recover. "Where does the lady come from? There are wild beasts on this mountain, but it is quite dangerous."
The other party was basically charmed by Mrs. Fox's passive ability. Jia Zhengjin took this opportunity to inquire about information and quickly got the information he wanted.
This young man is a woodcutter from Niulan Village, and he knows Niu Xi, but not too well.
His name is Niu Shun. His father also collects firewood for a living. A few years ago, he went up the mountain and was eaten by a pack of wolves. His mother went up the mountain to look for him and accidentally fell off the cliff. There was no one else at home. I cut firewood and sell it every day to make a living.
Hearing that he was only a few steps away from Niu Xi's home, Jia Zhengjin's eyes turned and he used soul projection to copy Niu Xi's appearance.
Before Niu Xi could come to his senses, Nuwa received Jia Zhengjin's order and teleported him to Nuwa, temporarily confining him in a room.
Jia Zhengjin instantly changed from the appearance of Aunt Fox to Niu Shun, picked up the hatchet, carried firewood, and walked slowly down the mountain road.
It was only a month, and Niu Shun was temporarily kept in Nuwa, and released after the bet was over.
With Nuwa, Niu Shun's food and drink problems could be solved, and being imprisoned in a small room would not allow him to come into contact with too much future technology. Borrowing his identity and giving him some gold as compensation after the end was also considered helping the other party.
It was just unclear what kind of person Yue Lang would become and how he would approach Niu Xi.
He bet that Niu Xi would never repent. If he put himself in Niu Xi's shoes, Jia Zhengjin would choose those fox friends around Niu Xi. In other words, Yue Lang could become any friend of Niu Xi, and then use this identity to contact him, and even encourage Niu Xi to move in the direction he wants.
And what Jia Zhengjin has to do is to prevent Yue Lang from succeeding, try to get close to Niu Xi as Niu Shun, and then find a way to make him turn back and be filial to his father.
