Chapter 67 The Dice Is You Again
Chapter 67 The dice are you again and again
Chao Jianxue was thinking.
He watched a man playing dice, and he lost again and again, but he kept fighting and losing again. In the end, he lost everything, and then he used his hands and feet as gambling chips. In the end, he was carried out crying.
The person shaking the dice saw him standing by the table without moving, and said impatiently: "Are you going to play or not? If not, I will open it!"
Chao Jianxue swung left and right, and finally dropped the spiritual stone in his hand.
"Open! Open! Open!" Everyone at the gambling table cheered together.
The dice were opened, and six was the biggest. The spiritual stone thrown by Chao Jianxue was swept away by a long pole.
He breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. It was better to lose the first time than to taste the sweetness and lose his mind.
The winners were all smiling, and the losers were sighing, but both sides were gambling red-eyed.
Chao Jianxue squeezed out of the noisy crowd, pulled out his clothes with difficulty, and didn't pay any more attention to this group of crazy people who didn't know day or night. He was headached by the noise here, and walked upstairs along the stairs on both sides.
Turning the corner, a group of dwarf demons dragged a corpse down from upstairs, and blood dripped down the stairs. Others just regarded it as normal and didn't even give a glance.
"Another bet lost by the owner." Chao Jianxue heard this.
The dwarf demon dragged the body while mumbling, and behind him was a man lying on the stairs wiping the blood, also mumbling, and looked very troubled.
Chao Jianxue raised his foot to avoid the dripping blood, and the dwarf demon wiped the corner of his clothes and walked down.
Chao Jianxue's impression of Youmin Casino deepened from "a den of money-consuming" to "eating people without spitting out bones". He remembered that he was only here to ask about the whereabouts of the bones, and he must not touch a single dice here!
The third floor and beyond are all private rooms, and the environment is much quieter and more elegant.
As long as he stands here for a moment, someone will come over and say with a smile on his face: "What does this guest want to play?"
Chao Jianxue's face is hidden under the black veil, and his voice is deliberately hoarse. In the roughness, it can be barely heard that it is a young man: "I want to wash bones."
The waiter obviously knows this thing, and the arc of his mouth has not changed at all: "Such a rare thing, please go upstairs."
Go upstairs?
Chao Jinxue looked up and saw the gorgeous skylight decorations in colorful colors, but the pattern was painted with the bloody mouth of a coiled giant snake, and the golden tongue seemed to be trembling slightly. His heartbeat accelerated involuntarily, but his legs seemed to be urged by something to go upstairs, to walk into the snake's mouth.
He retreated for a moment, but when he thought of Li Zhenzhen and Yu Wei outside, as well as his future life, he clenched his fists and opened his legs to step up.
When they reached the top floor, the waiter led him to a magnificent room and sat him down, and brought him exquisite refreshments: "Your arrival is a coincidence. The owner is here today. You need to ask the owner for what you are looking for. Please wait a moment."
The politeness and respect were impeccable, making Chao Jianxue feel that he had come from an underground ghost market to a high-end place - after all, how could this not be considered a high-end place?
After the waiter finished speaking, he left and closed the door, and the space fell into a silence where one could hear a pin drop.
Chao Jianxue did not use the so-called refreshments. He stood up and walked slowly along the wall. There were only windows, but the carvings on the windows were not the common clouds or flowers. On the contrary, they were all skulls with eyes bulging out. The hollow ones were spotless, and the rice-sized eyes seemed to be able to move.
However, when he walked to one of the walls, Chao Jianxue faintly felt the fluctuation of some kind of power. He leaned down, squinted his eyes and looked carefully, stretched out his hand and pushed, but it didn't move.
There was indeed a feeling of being spied on from this wall.
Across the wall, the waiter respectfully presented a handkerchief for washing his hands and said, "He wants to wash his bones. Is the owner interested in going?"
He lazily wiped the blood with one hand. The man was not interested at all. He threw away the handkerchief and said, "I'm tired. Let's offer 50 million. Also, ask him to take off his hat. I don't like to do business with masked people."
The waiter already understood that the 50 million was to make this man give up. If he didn't want to leave, the owner would not care whether he lived or died. The waiter's letter spit out from his mouth, revealing a row of sharp white teeth: "Yes."
Before Chao Jianxue could study the strange wall carefully, the waiter who had just left came back and smiled, "Please take off your hood. The gambling house does not trade with masked people."
Chao Jianxue hesitated for a moment, raised his hand and took off his hood.
The main door was not closed, and suddenly there was a sound of teacups breaking next door.
Chao Jianxue's attention was drawn to him for a moment, and then he heard the waiter continue to say: "The owner of the temple offers 50 million."
50 million...
Chao Jianxue felt that he was being ripped off all the way here, but in fact, 50 million, he really had it.
Although he was short of money, he only had 50 million spirit stones on his body. If he gave it away, he would become a pauper.
After weighing the two, Chao Jianxue felt that he could still make money after becoming a pauper. He would not have any special places to spend money in the sect in the future, but if he could not become a human, his life would be in danger.
"Okay." He nodded.
The waiter's smile, which had not changed, had a crack at this time: "What?"
Chao Jianxue said: "Bring the washed bones, one hand for the money and the other for the goods."
The waiter looked him up and down again, as if he was observing where he would get the 50 million from. Before he could figure it out, he heard the voice of his own owner appear at the door: "Back."
Chao Jianxue was shocked when he heard this voice and took a step back.
The person who walked in was none other than the snake demon he had fought with in the northern border before.
The snake demon's sinister gaze licked his face, and he walked over leisurely, exuding a strange and terrifying aura.
Chao Jianxue broke out in a cold sweat.
Why is it him again?
"I knew it, I knew you are not a simple human cultivator." He was full of malice, "You are a half-demon, no wonder you want to wash your bones."
Chao Jianxue's heart was alarmed, and he slowly retreated to the window.
The snake demon stuck out his tongue and sniffed carefully: "What kind of demon are you? How did you recover so quickly from my poison last time..."
Chao Jianxue lowered his ears, ready to use the Qianli Mingxin method to escape.
He didn't know how to calculate the cultivation level of demon cultivators, but no matter how he thought about it, he had no chance of winning in someone else's territory!
He had touched the window frame, and as long as he pushed it out, he could jump from here. Last time he seriously injured the snake demon, it would definitely not let him go easily.
Unexpectedly, the snake demon just clapped his hands, and a gambling table appeared out of thin air.
He sat down and said to Chao Jianxue: "If you win a round, I'll wash your bones for you. If you lose, you'll be mine."
He held the dice with his slender fingers and threw them casually on the table. He threw two fours and smiled evilly: "Very good numbers."
Chao Jianxue refused to do it. He was an outsider and had no chance of winning.
He said: "Just now he asked for 50 million, and I've agreed."
The snake demon shamelessly opened his hands: "I am the owner of the shop, and I have the final say. This is a different time."
Chao Jianxue: "I don't want it anymore."
Snake demon: "You have to have it."
Chao Jianxue: "If I leave, you may not be able to stop me."
Snake demon: "This is my territory, you can give it a try, but I can't guarantee how miserable your death will be in the end. I have two pets in my workshop, and they like to eat the flesh and blood of people with spiritual power the most."
Chao Jianxue: "...What are you playing?"
The snake demon laughed: "It's up to you."
If it was to play something else, Chao Jianxue really didn't know anything, and there was only the simplest guessing the size, and the winning and losing seemed to be 50-50.
But...
"I'll roll the dice, otherwise who knows what you can do." Chao Jianxue said.
The snake demon actually nodded generously: "Okay."
Downstairs, hearing that the owner of the workshop was gambling again, everyone squeezed through the stairs and surrounded the door in surprise, and soon the place was packed.
The snake demon clapped his hands and let everyone in for the first time. There were three layers inside and three layers outside, and the air suddenly became thin.
Chao Jianxue's face was tense, but his back was already wet. He felt his fingertips trembling slightly.
"If the abbot takes action, I don't know how this man will die. One of them was fed to fish alive this morning, and the other died of seven orifices bursting out of his body."
"Is this man a cat demon? Why is the demonic energy on him so weak?"
"Looking at the abbot's attitude, is he trying to take him in because of his good-looking face?"
There was a lot of talk around, and Chao Jianxue broke out in a cold sweat again. Taking him in was another matter. He saw that the snake demon turned into a real body and could swallow him alive as soon as he opened his mouth and put him in his stomach.
"It's just one game to decide the winner." He pursed his lips and said.
Seeing that he tried his best to hide his nervousness, the snake demon propped up his chin with interest: "Come on."
Just one game. Open the dice cup and it will be life or death.
Chao Jianxue carefully picked up the two dice. They were cold and heavy to the touch, as if they were made of special materials. He said, "I want to change the dice."
The snake demon paused, but still agreed, "Go and change it for him."
Chao Jianxue said, "I don't want the dice in the gambling house. I want someone to help me buy them from the shop outside the gambling house."
The snake demon was obviously impatient at this time: "Don't push your luck."
Chao Jianxue was not afraid: "Since this is a life-and-death game, I will be cautious. The owner should understand, right?"
The snake demon tapped his fingers on the table and said, "Go."
Chao Jianxue didn't want the waiter in the gambling house to buy it, but wanted a gambler to go. He gave ten spirit stones as a fee for running errands, and the other party was naturally happy.
The dice were bought back, and Chao Jianxue finally had to shoot.
He looked around. The gambling house was surrounded by walls on all sides. If he wanted to break through the siege, he could only go through the window. Then he would take the route he came from, and then run to the well...
"Let's start." The snake demon issued an ultimatum.
Chao Jianxue put his hand on the dice cup, put two wooden dice in it, and then stood up, made up his mind, and began to shake it up and down.
While shaking the dice, he observed the snake demon's expression.
He was obviously listening carefully to the movement in the dice cup. Chao Jianxue reacted immediately. This kind of guessing can also identify the final result through hearing.
Suddenly, his hand shook, and the two dice flew out and fell to the ground.
"..."
Chao Jianxue quickly put them away and smiled awkwardly: "Sorry, sorry, this is my first time shaking this, so it's inevitable that my hands shake..."
The snake demon frowned unhappily.
Chao Jianxue shook again.
"Cough cough cough!" Chao Jianxue coughed artificially, and the snake demon frowned even deeper.
"Cough cough cough cough!" Chao Jianxue coughed while shaking, coughing loudly, and said to him, "Sorry, the air in your gambling house is not very good."
The snake demon narrowed his eyes.
Chao Jianxue continued to shake, shaking and walking, walking around the gambling table, making strange noises that made unclear meanings while walking.
The crowd watching nearby then started to talk about whether he was sick.
After walking around once, Chao Jianxue still felt it was not enough, so he walked and jumped again. The crowd's voices were getting louder and louder. They had never seen such a weird way of shaking the dice. He
wanted to jump again...
The snake demon couldn't help it. The veins on his forehead were faintly visible: "That's enough."
Chao Jianxue exaggerated his movements and said loudly: "That's enough!"
With a "snap", he fixed the dice cup on the card table and stepped one foot on the card table.
He exhaled a long breath and pressed the dice cup: "You go."
The snake demon thought for a moment and clicked on the word "big".
Chao Jianxue swallowed his saliva and clicked on the word "small".
The snake demon sneered and said to the people around him: "Who else wants to follow? I allow you to follow."
Everyone was silent for a moment, and all the money was placed on "big". Since becoming the head of the abbey, he has basically never lost, let alone facing such a layman who doesn't even know how to shake the dice.
So on the card table, the big side had a full mountain of cards, while the small side was left alone with Chao Jianxue.
The snake demon had a satisfied smile on his face.
He raised his hand and said, "Open it."
Chao Jianxue looked at him, her heart beating like it was about to jump out of her throat.
