The Legend of Swing Sword and Execution of Demons

Chapter 510

"My cheap master is not only a sword fairy, but also a wine fairy."

"I don't remember exactly what year it was."

"I just remember that Master came to Xishan Island for the first time that year. Because the home-brewed wine on the island was delicious, he stayed for a longer time, and taught us a group of children a lot of swordsmanship because of this."

"One night, Mother told me a story about Master."

"In that story, the gambler was just a young man with a notoriety."

"He's tired of choosing, and in turn forces others to choose."

"Although he can enjoy himself for a while after making a choice every time, he finds it difficult to find pleasure in the rest of the time."

"Until he found another emotional outlet - drinking."

"Huang Qingxuan, who tasted wine for the first time, soon became addicted to it. While traveling around, he tasted fine wine from all over the world."

"When I came to Gusu, I was annoyed because I couldn't taste the taste of a high-priced wine in the Zuixiao Tower, which claims to be drunk to the sky and has thousands of kinds of fine wine."

"Set up a gamble in the hall, and invite all the guests, shopkeepers, and clerks in the building to gamble."

"Drawing the Zhongxuan card, I have been living in Zuixiaolou since then, drinking hundreds of altars of wine every day, and I must taste all kinds of fine wines in Zuixiaolou before giving up. Being killed means that there are unknown factors in the mysterious card that are beyond his control."

"If you draw a yellow card, you will kill everyone in the restaurant that day."

"Drawing the green card, he will throw a thousand gold worth the net income of Zuixiao Tower for a whole year as compensation."

"Anyone present is eligible to draw cards. Of course, there is only one chance."

Xi Weiyu listened with gusto, his eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said: "Of course it is your Master Sword Immortal who came out to settle this situation. Could it be that Sword Immortal was also intoxicated when he was young, and he poured himself out after drinking like you?" ?”

"Cough, cough, cough..." Jiang Yichen's cheeks froze for a moment, and he laughed at himself after a while, "Those who say that drinking capacity can be practiced must be all alcohol dealers! Like Master, they are born with a lot of capacity."

Xi Weiyu chuckled and asked, "Then your master's way of winning must be different from yours?"

"That's right. The master is not only betting against the gamblers, but also comparing his drinking capacity. Before the draw, he asked the shopkeeper to bring out all kinds of hidden wines, threatening to let the gamblers know what the sky is high and the earth is thick."

"At that time, the master was already well-known in the world, and the shopkeeper saw him come forward to help out, how could he not readily agree."

"That gambling game, which was also a wine game, lasted for three full days and three nights."

"A lot of people were attracted, and a lot of people were ruined. Everyone in the restaurant was trembling, and those two were the only ones who had a good time."

"In the end, master easily drew the green card, and Huang Qingxuan sent the silver tael to Zuixiaolou to fulfill the bet in a few days."

After hearing this, Xi Weiyu was stunned for a while: "Uh, is this the end?"

Jiang Yichen naturally understood why Xi Weiyu reacted in this way, he betrayed the key point.

"Even though Huang Qingxuan is born with strong internal energy, he has also perfected one internal energy and can produce twice as much internal energy as others for nothing, but his drinking capacity is not so good. After drinking for three days in a row, he finally became drunk, master. Waiting for an opportunity to see the colors of the three cards in the hand, it was easy to draw the blue card."

"Pfft haha! I never imagined that the Sword Immortal would do such a brazen thing."

Knowing the whole story of the game, Xi Weiyu couldn't help laughing and bent over.

"However, the gambler looks friendly, but he is not that friendly. Could it be that he didn't find something strange about it, or he became angry and asked the sword fairy to settle the score after he learned the truth?"

Jiang Yichen shook his head and said, "Although the gambler is drunk, he knows very well that Master has played a trick, and he just didn't intend to expose it."

"When I heard the whole story back then, I couldn't ask the question as sharply as you did, but my mother saw the confusion in my heart."

"That's what my mother said. In this world, no matter who you are, there will always be a few moments when you feel particularly lonely and need company."

"Huang Qingxuan buried his family who loved him so much with his own hands. He seemed to be relieved, but fell into infinite loneliness."

"The reason why he is making waves for evil everywhere is nothing more than trying to win more people's attention, just like his dead family members once did to him."

"It's just that the killing he brewed has shocked the world. Ordinary people either regard him as a villain or a monster."

"However, master only treats him as an ordinary alcoholic who uses alcohol to relieve his worries, and teaches him how to taste wine."

"Under such circumstances, it doesn't matter how the game is played. In the end, as long as it meets Master's wishes, Huang Qingxuan will try his best to do it."

Xi Wei understood, and commented: "It's really not an easy story, but luckily the ending is good."

After a pause, he continued: "This kind of story should be a good story spread in the market, but it seems that only you know what happened last night?"

Jiang Yichen said: "No, as long as the gambler and the sword fairy are connected, there must be many people in the world who can remember this anecdote, but after word of mouth, the original story is no longer true. There is no way to know the details.”

"Could it be that your story is still authentic?" Xi Weiyu just asked, and suddenly realized, "The story your mother told you was told by the sword fairy himself!"

Jiang Yichen nodded and smiled and said: "Yes. It is said that the old man also went to Xishan Island that day. When the adults were drinking and talking, they verified it from the master's mouth. There is another detail here that taught me to succeed last night. Borrowing the name of Master, I begged for favors with that Huang Qingxuan."

Xi Weiyu rolled his eyes and said, "Are you still selling it?"

Jiang Yichen said: "Mother said that before and after the card draw, Master emphasized a sentence with Huang Qingxuan three times."

What happened last night is still vivid in his memory, Xi Weiyu quickly recalled Jiang Yichen's words repeated three times, and imitated: "He bet that Huang Qingxuan will give those silver taels to Zuixiaolou?"

"Children can be taught. I heard from my mother that Master has a special saying about this: important things must be emphasized three times."

"Hee hee, it's really interesting. In this way, Huang Qingxuan's resentful expression last night was not because he was annoyed at being teased by you, but because he felt sorry for a jar of fine wine being ruined by someone who doesn't know how to drink!"

Jiang Yichen couldn't find any reason to refute, and said embarrassingly, "Or so."

Fortunately, Xi Weiyu didn't hold on to his embarrassment, and continued: "It's really a coincidence, a gambler came to set up a game, and you just happen to know the way to break it..."

Jiang Yichen interjected, "What if I say it's not a coincidence?"

"Isn't it a coincidence?" Seeing that Jiang Yichen didn't seem to be joking, Xi Weiyu was stunned.

"Last night, I also thought that everything that happened was a coincidence. After all, it was a coincidence that Gu Ye and Yu Le caught your whereabouts. It was a coincidence that I met you, and Huang Qingxuan's appearance was also a coincidence."

"If there are too many coincidences, it is no longer a coincidence?"

"These coincidences are not coincidences, but things that could have happened. The real coincidence is that these possible things happen to happen one after another in the same time period."

Xi Weiyu supported his forehead and said, "Why am I a little confused..."

"Sometimes it's rare to be confused." Jiang Yichen just put on an old-fashioned demeanor, felt the sharp gaze from Xi Weiyu, and immediately said honestly, "At first, I just didn't understand why gamblers and crazy husbands would appear together. After the arrival of Chasing the Moon, some doubts were easily solved, and with this drunkenness, I figured everything out after waking up."

Xi Weiyu didn't care whether Jiang Yichen could see it or not, but just squinted at him, with several lines of "Say it, say it" written in his eyes, and said nothing else.

Jiang Yichen smacked his lips, always feeling as if something was missing, and felt the gaze projected on his face became more fierce, so he had to obediently tell what he had realized.

"If you have not changed your plan, when you set off today, there will be more than a few obstacles in the way. In such a chaotic situation, what else can you do to break the situation besides killing a bloody road?"

"What would happen if the gambler and madman reappeared at that time?"

"Unless the forces of all parties are combined, no one will dare to confront these two people head-on."

"But the goals of each party are different. Once one's own party suffers personal injuries, the other party's heart will have evil intentions."

"In short, in such a chaotic situation, it is absolutely impossible for all parties to unite the front."

"The only thing that can reach a consensus is to accept the bet proposed by Huang Qingxuan."

"After all, the matter is of great importance. No one will be able to weigh the pros and cons in a short period of time. Stand up and take a gamble."

Xi Weiyu clapped her hands in amazement and said, "You only dare to come and gamble if you have the winning ticket!"

Then he looked suspicious and said: "So, the interesting person who arranged for the gambler and the crazy man to appear is the old man?"

"Not necessarily the old man."

Even Jiang Yichen's own tone carried a lot of hesitation.

After leaving Yin Yang Valley, he got in touch with the old man in the shortest possible time.

Before this, who could have asserted that he would show up here ten days ago to break the gambler's situation?

As far as he knew, the old man had indeed never left Jiangning County recently.

The only conclusion he could deduce was that the strategy of inviting gamblers and crazy husbands into the game did exist ten days ago, and because of his intervention, the original plan was temporarily adjusted, just like the timely arrival of chasing the moon last night.

Compared to the old man, Luo Piaoling is more likely.

However, in Jiang Yichen's view, there might be other candidates who can be that interesting person.

Two other figures appeared in his mind, one was a beautiful woman in white clothes, and the other was a weird person hidden under a black robe and a mask. It seemed that for a moment, the two figures faintly overlapped...
