C90

They saw that the crowd at the edge of the floating bridge's arena fell aside in a slanted fashion, six or seven people rampaging in and out of it. The old man in front was tall and thin, with thick cheeks and thick skin, but his head was thin and ugly, like a big mouse that had become a spirit. His eyes were narrowed to a slit, and when he saw the monk in front of him suddenly open his eyes, he cried out, "Why is this monk of yours here, this old man doesn't want to bet with you."

Monk Dog Meat said, "Amazing, strange. "I've heard that no matter old or young, all of the people that Almsgiver Duan meets, are willing to gamble with me. Why don't they gamble with me alone?"

"You shameless monk, you won't give me any silver if you lose." The old man lowered a large bag on his shoulder and said with a shrill voice, "It's not impossible for you to bet. You have to pay me the silver you lost twenty years ago." As the voice entered their ears, everyone shuddered and goosebumps rose all over their bodies.

Monk Dog Meat's face turned red, and he unhappily said, "You old bastard, you're too unpleasant. Why are you bringing up old debts?" Even if you don't want to, you still have to. Otherwise, this old monk will disrupt your gamble, and no one will be able to gamble! "

The old man squinted his eyes and looked around, his gaze sweeping across Ling Qiu and Xiao Yunzi, then he sneered: "You repulsive monk, to think that you have the support of a master! Hehe … This old man loves to gamble like his life. Other than this, there is nothing much wrong with me.

"So what if I bully you too much?" Old Daoist Yuan stood up slowly and said lazily, "In the past, there was a saying: the Nether Yin Poison God was insane. When meeting others, he would bet on Duan Wuxie. Your old son forcefully gambles with people, causing many people's wives to be destroyed and their families to be destroyed. In short, none of you Four Evil Realm beings are good stuff! "

Duan Wuxie blinked a few times and took a step back. He pointed to the large bag at his feet and said, "Fine, let's not talk about the old debts anymore. It's fine if you, a repulsive monk, want to participate in the gambling house, but you have to pay cash today."

Monk Dog Meat giggled and said, "That's more like it." With both hands, he pushed Old Daoist Yuan back onto the chair and said, "Since the old grudge can't be brought up for now, then the matter of forcing others to gamble can be settled later. Eh, old man Duan, what's in this broken bag? "

Duan Wuxie replied, "This old man's bet." He turned around and shouted to the two behind him, "You two bastards, quickly go and bring the old master two tables!" Gu Qishao and Yan Lingzhu looked at the few people behind him who looked rather familiar. When they looked closely, Yan Lingzhu cried out, "Cover your eyes!"

The four people behind Duan Wuxie were none other than Jin and his five bodyguards on the young master jewel of the Celestial Fragrance Pavilion's Heavenly Pavilion Garden. However, the six of them didn't have the luxury of being in the Fragrant Sky Tower. Their faces and faces were swollen, and their clothes were messy. They looked miserable and miserable.

Before Duan Wuxie could finish his words, the two guards in black robes walked over to the restaurant with a limp. Judging from the situation, the two of them must have taken quite a bit of damage from this old man, and after a while, they fearfully placed the two clothes on the table in front of Duan Wuxie.

Duan Wuxie placed the large cloth bag on the table. He held the bag tightly with one hand and the bottom with the other. With a 'hualala' sound, all the items in the bag fell onto the table. Everyone looked carefully and saw that apart from the yellow-white object, there were also dozens of silver notes mixed in. The silver notes even revealed two jade pendants, which were especially dazzling and sparkling. One look was enough to tell that they were extremely valuable.

Duan Wuxie said in a shrill voice, "Gold and silver, along with silver notes and jade pendant, amount to thirty thousand silver. Everyone can inspect it personally." Now let this old man be the host and sincerely invite the heroes here to set up a bet. "Although this old man has always disliked that old fogey's flowery temper, this old man will bet on his victory this time." With that, he glared at the dog meat monk and said, "Whoever has the money can come and have a bet without any hesitation!"

The dog-meat monk heard this and jumped onto the table, saying loudly, "Monk will win the fifty thousand taels bet with that brat Tie Qingyi."

"Where's the silver?" Duan Wuxie rolled his eyes and stretched out his hand. "Words have no basis. The transaction is a transaction of silver, and it is absolutely true!"

Monk Dog Meat stared with his phoenix eyes. "I'm not as shameless as you, an old thick-skinned monk. You brought me a cloth bag of silver." This humble monk owes it to you, and will never renege on it! "

Duan Wuxie angrily said, "What swindler?" He raised his middle finger and said, "This is silver that this old man won while I was bleeding. How did it become a bluff and scam?" He raised his finger, and only then did everyone realize that his middle finger was broken. The white cloth wrapping around his finger was still faintly bleeding, and it was clear that he had just been injured.

"Huh?" Monk Dog Meat asked curiously, "How can you be so bloody after winning the silver?"

Duan Wuxie said: "This is a long story. Some time ago, I heard that the Hidden Tiger Secret Manual had reappeared in the martial world, so I couldn't help but go out for a stroll. Just as I entered the Henan Province, I ran into these guys." Pointing at River Gold, he continued, "Less gossip. It is said that at that time, this guy was flirting with a pretty village woman. He said that he bought a hundred taels of silver for the woman's husband and brought it home to be his servant. The woman's husband was naturally unwilling. He took out a stack of banknotes from his bosom, allowing him to guess the exact number. If he miscalculated, he would forcefully take the woman away. If he guessed correctly, he would make the husband kowtow a few times to apologize. The couple were so intimate that they were at a loss for what to do. They held each other's head and cried.

Many of the outstanding heroes all had expressions of anger on their faces when they heard this. With Wu Ling being weak, not to mention the commoners, many people despised him. "Sin, sin!" Jiang Jin lowered his head and did not say a word. The five guards' faces were ashen. The anger of the crowd was hard to bear. The six of them were like a sieve.

Duan Wuxie continued: "When I heard about the bet, I couldn't help but come out and replace the two village women to guess the amount of silver bills."

"Old man Duan, you're really worthy of being called a gambling devil. I presume you hit the mark with just a guess, then won such a large amount of silver. Truly extraordinary!" Monk Dog Meat wanted to owe money on credit, so he purposely raised his thumb in praise. His fawning face was as clear as day.

Duan Wuxie said: "This monk was truly wrong this time. The numbers of the silver bills are all different. This old man has guessed it three times, and not only did I not guess it correctly, I even lost all the silver bills that I had."

The dog meat monk cried out, "So you started to steal it and beat these bastards until their noses and faces were bruised?" Hehe … Since you can take it, why can't I? " Staring at the objects on the table, he rubbed his hands together, eager to try.

Duan Wuxie quickly blocked the way in front of the table, and said angrily: "Since when did you, a monk, become a bandit? This old man won it fair and square. " He raised his hand and said, "This old man is naturally unwilling to lose. The so-called bet requires both sides to come up with a question for it to be fair." This old man has a simple question that will quickly determine the outcome of the battle. Ask this bastard and tell him that this old man has several fingers on his palm.

Hearing this, everyone understood. Seeing that his problem was so trivial, and looking at the five fingers on his hand, Jiang Shang Jin and the others naturally agreed to the wager. In the end, one of the old men broke off, so River Gold naturally lost the bet. Presumably, he was trying to bully his seniority and wanted to use brute force to repudiate him, but was ruthlessly beaten by Duan Wuxie instead. While everyone despised the tyrannical actions of Jin and his two brothers, they also sucked in a breath of cold air because of the viciousness of the old man.

Monk Dog Meat laughed out loud. He tilted his head and looked at the treasure behind Duan Wuxie with a happy expression and said: "Oh, so that's how it is." Suddenly, he stretched out his left hand and said seriously, "Old man Duan, how many fingers do you think I have? This poor monk also used this as a wager, betting on all the treasures on the table behind you! "

Duan Wuxie's pupils abruptly constricted as a sinister light shot out from his eyes. He slowly shook his head and said, "Damned monk, this old man doesn't want to bet!"

"If you don't want to bet, then so be it!" Monk Dog Meat's phoenix-like eyes were filled with authority as he was resolute and decisive.

Old Daoist Yuan's expression suddenly changed. He grabbed onto Monk Dog Meat's wrist and cried out, "Dog Meat, are you crazy?"

Monk Dog Meat giggled and said, "Which day does Monk have to be normal?" He stared straight at Duan Wuxie, and slowly said: "This humble monk will count to three. If you don't make a sound when I say three, then it'll be considered your loss."

Duan Wuxie's cheeks were like a frog's, breathing in and out, not saying a word. The crowd of heroes were shocked and found it quite amusing. He didn't expect that the old man would be coerced by the same method after winning the bet with such a tyrannical method. It was truly like a game of chess. It changed a thousand times in a blink of an eye and no one expected it.

Ling Qiu and Xiao Yunzi both shook their heads with bitter smiles, remaining silent. Tian Xin'er smiled as she watched from the sidelines. Gao Yu raised his head to look at the blue sky. As the person in question had an indifferent expression on his face, it was unknown what he was thinking about.

The heroes were all quiet, and the atmosphere was a little strange. They only heard Monk Dog Meat say slowly, "One …"
