Chapter 66 A Gambler Shows Up
Liu Mang put away his little snicker in his heart.
At this moment, the Wangchuan River was calm, but the three of them couldn't just stay on the boat and do nothing.
In the end, the three decided to be self-reliant.
Liu Mang took the initiative to put away the Gate of the Underworld and the Spiritual Light Array, picked up the pole and took over the work of the boatman temporarily.
Although he was not sure about the specific direction, there was a place offshore behind him, so he should go forward in the direction, right?
Fortunately, about a few minutes later, the three did see brown land in front of them.
The boat finally successfully docked.
After landing on the land, they stopped and looked around, and found that there was still nothing here, only a road extending in a certain direction.
"Let's go~"
The three of them could only continue to set off.
Li Hao always held the spirit stone in his hand, because he needed to keep the cowardly ghost appearing as a biological radar, so he was consuming spiritual energy all the time.
The three of them walked and stopped, in addition to observing the movements around them, they also had to pay attention to the cowardly ghost's performance.
I don't know how long it took, and there was finally a different scene ahead.
There was a pavilion, standing abruptly in the middle of the road.
In the pavilion, there was a stone table and two stone chairs. One of them was empty, and a skinny figure sat on the other.
The three people stared at each other, and their faces immediately became cautious.
Strangely, the coward was not unusual, and seemed not afraid of the figure at all.
As the three approached carefully and entered the pavilion, the coward was still very quiet.
For this situation, the three guessed that either the coward could not sense the danger of the other party, or the other party made the coward feel that it was not worth mentioning.
"Hehehe~" The figure took the initiative to meet the three people's gaze: "I'm here~ Come and sit down, I've been waiting for you for a long time."
Liu Mang saw that the man was ragged, unkempt, sallow and thin, and the exposed skin was dry and bloodless. I don't know if he was born to be so thin, or how long he hasn't eaten a full stomach, anyway, even his eye sockets are almost sunken.
But his face was sly and his eyes were extremely agile, always turning around and looking around.
"Wait for us?" Meng Zijing frowned and asked, "Do you know us?"
"No, I don't know. Anyway, I just know that someone will come in during this period, and I'm waiting for all the living people passing by."
Living people?
These two words successfully attracted Liu Mang's attention and vigilance. From the other party's words and tone, it seems that this guy... is dead? !
At this moment, the other party rubbed his hands, pointed to the empty seat opposite him with excitement and said, "Who will come first? Sit down quickly, I can't wait."
"Who will come first? What do you want to do?"
"Bet with me! Just bet on dice, hurry up!"
At this time, the three people noticed that there was a dice cup on the stone table.
Liu Mang suddenly thought of something, pushed the two people, exchanged a look, and then left the pavilion to whisper together.
"If I'm not mistaken, this guy is a gambler!"
"Gambler? Yes, yes, he should be a gambler. Looking at him, he must have lost everything, so he can't eat enough and wear warm clothes. No wonder the coward is not afraid of him at all, it turns out that he is on the same level."
"Wait! What is the gambler doing here?"
"Second sister Meng, since we entered the gate of hell, everything we have seen and heard seems a bit strange. Let's not talk about where the colleagues in front ran away, just say that the greedy ghost when crossing the river, he didn't succeed in blackmailing, and that guy directly made trouble. I guess that every ghost we meet in the ghost town has a special meaning of existence."
"You mean... follow the clues and play with him?"
"Yes. But you have to ask him clearly about the rules of the game first."
"I'll do it. I can't help with fighting, but I'm better at playing games than you."
In the end, the three of them roughly discussed and agreed, and Li Hao volunteered to play with the gambler.
Back at the pavilion, Li Hao sat on the stone chair opposite the gambler and said, "Brother, how do you play? Let's draw a path."
"Hehehe~ Simple. There are three dice in the dice cup. Let's bet on the size. As long as the dice is bigger than mine, you pass the level and walk over to Yangguan Road. It doesn't matter if you lose, just go to the single-plank bridge to accept the challenge. If you win, you can still live in peace. But if you lose... Hehe, then I'm sorry!"
Liu Mang suddenly felt something was wrong and quickly interrupted and asked, "Wait a minute, are we playing this game together or separately?"
"Young people with full blood and smooth skin, of course everyone has to participate." The gambler's sunken eyes were shining with a bright and exciting light. This guy was obviously looking forward to the next game.
Everyone has to play? Liu Mang and Meng Zijing looked at each other, and they secretly prepared to deal with emergencies.
At this time, Li Hao was already impatient to start the first game with the gambler opposite.
The dice cups in the hands of the two men shook desperately, making loud billiard ball sounds.
As the dice cup was thrown heavily on the stone table, the gambler opened the cup first, and his voice became excited and high-pitched: "Four, five, five, open yours and let me see!"
Li Hao took a deep breath, his expression half solemn and half nervous. He slowly opened the dice cup and saw three flawless white dice, with the numbers on the upward side being three, six and six.
Just a little more than the gambler, he won.
Li Hao immediately jumped three feet high, as if he had won the world championship.
Liu Mang was in a trance, thinking that this guy might have the potential to be a gambler.
The gambler on the opposite side was a little angry and waved his hands angrily: "Bad luck! Go, go, you passed."
Li Hao seemed to have something to say: "Next. I'll gamble for the two of them! Sister, Liu, believe me, I'm very lucky today. I washed my hands several times before going out. I'll shake 666 for you!"
However, the gambler rejected his proposal: "No! Everyone must participate in person, next one! Hurry up!"
Seeing this, Meng Zijing pushed Li Hao away and told him not to make trouble.
Then, she gave Liu Mang a look, meaning that she would try the water first, and then sat down on the stone chair, grabbed the dice cup and began to shake it violently.
The gambler on the opposite side shook the dice cup excitedly without saying a word, and kept looking at Meng Zijing.
As the dice cup fell hard on the stone table, the gambler was still the first to open the cup, four, five, six, a total of fifteen points.
Li Hao sighed a little, Liu Mang had no expression, and Meng Zijing opened the cup without hesitation.
Three, four, six, a total of thirteen points.
"Hehehe~ You lost, please accept the challenge."
Meng Zijing left the pavilion without any nonsense, walked forward.
Liu Mang stared without blinking, he wanted to see what the so-called challenge would be like.
Meng Zijing seemed to sense some danger, and a blue spiritual light array lit up directly under her feet, and Meng Po appeared beside her with a cane.
At the same time, opposite Meng Zijing, the stone road turned into a one-person-wide single-plank bridge, and a figure condensed and stood in the middle of the single-plank bridge. It was another Meng Po.
As the second Meng Po appeared, Meng Zijing and her Meng Po, including the people and the bridge, were all wrapped in smoke, and nothing could be seen.
