Chapter 1969 Gambling
Xiao Hua's face showed a trace of strangeness. He did not dare to give Liu Yi too many spiritual fruits. He only gave him the lowest-level spiritual dates to eat. One was to make him full, and the other was to let him experience the spiritual objects of Taoism. Xiao Hua did not have too many expectations for the little spiritual energy in the spiritual dates. However, Xiao Hua still underestimated the spiritual energy of the spiritual fruit in his space, and also underestimated Liu Yi's qualifications. Just this spiritual date made Liu Yi a "little foot" of spiritual energy.
"Well, you comprehend it first, don't do anything else!" Xiao Hua thought for a while and ordered, "All the magical powers of my Taoist school need to rely on the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. If you can't comprehend the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the outside world, relying on these spiritual fruits alone... It is impossible to step into the avenue!"
"Yes, I understand!" Liu Yi was very happy, took another bite of the spiritual date, closed his eyes and comprehended it.
Seeing Liu Yi's excitement, Xiao Hua sighed inwardly. Liu Yi's aptitude was indeed good. Not only could he comprehend the Qi-refining techniques that he had never practiced before, but he could also keenly experience the weak spiritual energy in the spiritual dates. This was absolutely impossible for Xiao Hua before. Unfortunately, Xiao Hua knew even more clearly that if Liu Yi could not sense the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, he would never be able to enter the threshold of cultivation. Without the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, all the cultivation of Taoism was just castles in the air.
After entering the country of Gaza, except for the black armor army led by Die Wu who had just met the bridge, there were no other changes. The convoy of Xunhai Merchants moved forward in an orderly manner. When night came, someone led them to rest in a spacious mountain. The caravan was prepared. In a short while, Qi Jin led two people and brought some food to Xiao Hua and others. What made Xiao Jian depressed was that, except for his own hunger, Liu Yi and Yuan Ya did not feel hungry or thirsty at all, and did not even drink a sip of water.
Compared with Xiao Jian's depression, Qi Jin was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth! Not eating worldly things... What does this mean? It means that the immortal in front of him is really an immortal! As for the Taoist priest who took his silver ingot next to him... he is just like himself. A vulgar person! ! !
After Qi Jin left, Xiao Jian gnawed a stewed pig's trotter. Although the pig's trotter was very fragrant, Xiao Jian's eyes showed an absolute resentment when he saw Xiao Hua practicing with his eyes closed! The mouth was tasteless! !
Xiao Hua ignored him and seemed to be asleep.
After a meal, a bonfire was lit in the carriages that were gathered together. Those escorts and some of the guys from the business took out wine, food, and even gambling tools, and started to make a fuss.
Seeing this lively scene, Xiao Jian, who had been silent all the time and felt that he was a little out of tune with Xiao Hua, suddenly brightened his eyes and glanced at Xiao Hua slightly. He walked over quietly.
However, just as he walked out a few steps, Yuan Ya hurriedly got up and followed him out. When they reached the shadow of a carriage, Yuan Ya hurriedly caught up with Xiao Jian and whispered, "Master. Here you go!"
"What?" Xiao Jian was stunned.
When he saw Yuan Ya carefully take out a spiritual date wrapped in oil from his arms, his face turned cold. He knocked the oil bag off with a "pop" and said, "I don't need other people's pity! I have eaten a lot of spiritual fruits like this before!"
After that, he ignored Yuan Ya and walked away quickly.
The embers of the bonfire gradually went out in the night wind. Xiao Jian walked back happily humming a little tune, lying down near the carriage and soon fell asleep peacefully. In the night, Xiao Hua opened his eyes, glanced at everything that was a bit messy, and a hint of ridicule appeared at the corner of his mouth. The Taoist's divine thoughts could actually be used by Xiao Jian for gambling... I'm afraid that if the Taoist above the nine heavens knew about it, he would be so angry that he would fly down to punish Xiao Jian, right?
The next second and third days. There were no bandits that Qi Jin was worried about. Everything was normal. There were more convoys on the road, not only the bodyguards of Xunhai Trading Company. Bodyguards from other trading companies also appeared. It seemed that even if the bandits came out, Xiao Hua and others did not need to take action. These bodyguards could handle it. Qi Jin and other people in charge of the trading company were happy, but Xiao Jian was not happy! His divine consciousness was weak. On the first day, it was exhausted. This divine consciousness won him a lot of money. But on the second and third days, there were more bodyguards participating in the gambling. Xiao Jian no longer had the means to cheat. I don’t know if it was because of bad luck or other reasons. Xiao Jian lost again and again! At the beginning, Xiao Jian wanted to withdraw in time, but unfortunately he won too much on the first day. How could the bodyguards who lost silver let him go? After he lost all the silver he had won before to others, even if Qi Jin reminded him beside him, Xiao Jian, who lost red eyes, couldn’t listen at all, and even said that he would be angry with anyone who didn’t let him gamble!
This kind of gambling is exactly what all gamblers love! A gambling game lasted until dawn. Under the morning light, Xiao Jian walked to the carriage a little tiredly. In the shadows in the distance, a group of escorts and some guys who participated in the gambling secretly poked their heads out. They were afraid of Xiao Hua, who was out of this world, and even more afraid of Yuan Ya, who was more ferocious than a beast, but they couldn't let go of the Yuanshi that Xiao Jian lost to them!
Losing a game is not terrible, what is terrible is: the more you gamble, the more you lose, and the more you lose, the more you gamble! On the third night, no one came to call Xiao Jian, but looking at the excitement next to the campfire and listening to the sound of betting, Xiao Jian seemed to have a pair of small hands in his heart, grabbing him all the time, making him unable to sleep and unable to calm down.
Finally, Xiao Jian resolutely walked to the campfire...
Looking at Xiao Jian's figure stretched long in the campfire, Xiao Hua seemed to understand something.
Xiao Hua felt that he understood, but in fact, he still understood too little. When the moon was high in the sky, Xiao Jian came back again and took away the last part of the Yuanshi. However, Xiao Jian did not come back to rest, but followed his Yuanshi to the campfire again. This time, Xiao Jian did not stay for long. Soon, the campfire was unusually noisy! Xiao Jian staggered back. Although the night was a good protection, Xiao Hua could see clearly that Xiao Jian's nose and face were swollen. When Xiao Hua's mind swept over, he already understood everything. Xiao Jian...actually started cheating after losing the Yuanshi! You cheated if you said so, and you were discovered! If it weren't for Xiao Hua and Yuan Ya behind Xiao Jian, this guy would have been beaten into a pulp by a group of bodyguards!
In difficult days, you may see true feelings, but you will never see your true nature. Perhaps only comfort and relaxation can reveal people's true nature. How many loving couples can help each other when they are poor, but when they are rich, they fly away again! This is what people often say, that we can share hardships but not happiness! When Xiao Jian had no money, he could take Yuan Ya with him, whether it was fortune-telling or doing a Taoist temple, he could keep loneliness, but as soon as he had a comfortable life and his life was guaranteed, the bad nature in his heart was immediately revealed, and no amount of disguise could cover it up.
The morning breeze blew, blowing away the night and darkness, and everyone got up in high spirits, with smiles on their faces, facing a new day. Yes, a few boxes full of Yuanshi, how could ordinary gold and silver compare? But Xiao Jian lost it all, and everyone who got the Yuanshi was extremely happy. This was a beautiful thing they could never dream of. Even if they went home now, they would never lack money in this life, not for several lives!
This is the world, there is only so much happiness, if you are happy, others will not be happy, if you are not happy... others will take your happiness away.
This is what happened to Xiao Jian. Others completely robbed him of his happiness, and all he had left was bitterness! In addition to his sad face, he was also listless. Yesterday evening, he had wealth comparable to that of a rich man, but today in the early morning, he became a pauper with nothing.
However, to the surprise of Xiao Hua, who was watching coldly from the side, when the convoy had been going for half an hour and the sun was high in the sky, the dejection on Xiao Jian's face had disappeared, as if he had never been to the gambling game next to the campfire, and it seemed that he had never received any Yuanshi at all.
"Haha... It's really interesting!" Xiao Hua looked at Xiao Jian, who was in a good mood, and he really didn't understand. He knew the value of those spirit stones very well. If he lost those spirit stones in the gambling, Xiao Hua would never forgive himself and would definitely be heartbroken.
"Oh? There are interesting things every year, and there seem to be a lot more this year!" Xiao Hua's eyes just moved away from Xiao Jian, and then he looked at several high mountains in the distance. The high mountains surrounded the road in the middle, and the road at the foot had become narrower since who knows when, and the weeds on the roadside were lush, almost like a place with poor mountains and bad waters, or the previous huge gambling made the escorts' sense of smell dull, until they saw the high mountains, a group of people became alert, and immediately sent some porters to rush into the mountains to explore. In addition to the carriages that joined the team later, the Xunhai Commercial Bank had dozens of carriages, and there were nearly 40 escorts from different escort agencies. They waited for a while, but no signal came, and they felt a little anxious.
At this time, Qi Jin came again. Poor Qi Jin was also stunned by Xiao Jian's Yuanshi. That was a fairy stone. Qi Jin, who had traveled all over the country, had heard that his own family had collected a lot of it. But seeing that Xiao Jian had lost more fairy stones than he had collected in his lifetime, he really didn't dare to put Xiao Jian, who had received his silver ingots, together with the current Xiao Jian. He already regarded Xiao Jian as a hermit master. Even though this master had been beaten by many escorts, he only regarded this hermit master as a gamer. After seeing Xiao Jian waving impatiently and looking at Xiao Hua sitting cross-legged on his horse with his eyes closed, Qi Jin returned to the team with full confidence.
At this time, the porter who entered the mountain also sent a signal of safety... (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly tickets at Qidian (). Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please go to read.)
