Tian Yuan Xian Ji

Chapter 714 Underground Palace
"Fellow Daoist Tian, ​​how far is the place you mentioned?" Wang Wei asked.

Tian Qingzhi smiled slightly: "Don't worry, it's been a million miles from Yuanxian City to here, do you still care about such a small journey?"

Seeing that he refused to disclose it, and looked mysterious, everyone couldn't help but become more curious, but they didn't ask any more questions.

Several people fled for tens of thousands of miles, and after traveling for two or three days, they came to a desolate hill.

"Brother Tian, ​​isn't the place you mentioned right here?" Yuan Ye frowned, and everyone looked at him in unison.

Tian Qingzhi didn't answer, stepped forward and knocked a few times on a huge black stone.

Not long after, the ground moved to the sides, revealing a huge passage.

A man in a black robe and a black mask walked slowly from the passage below, looked at everyone, and made a gesture of please.

Several people looked at each other in blank dismay, suspicious in their hearts, there are many places for fireworks in the world, but they have never seen it so mysterious like this.

Isn't it just a brothel?It's not a big deal. It's not a big deal to build a good pavilion, a high-rise building, but to do the opposite. It seems to be a shameful thing to choose in the basement.

Amidst the doubts among several people, Tian Qingzhi had already walked down, and everyone looked at each other as if they followed behind him.

This passage is very wide, tens of feet wide, paved with bluestone steps, after everyone entered the passage, the ground closed with a bang.

"Tian Daoyou, is this really the place you mentioned? Why does it feel different?" Wang Wei asked in a low voice.

"Don't worry! There's no problem. I felt strange when I first came here, but I gradually got used to it. In fact, it's quite unique, isn't it?"

"Why did they build it in the basement? Why do they keep it so mysterious? Doesn't this affect business? Shouldn't the more people know about places like this, the better?" Tangning asked puzzled.

Tian Qingzhi said: "Who knows! It may be to create a mysterious atmosphere! After all, it is also a gimmick. But I promise, the goods here are really good."

"Does Fellow Daoist Tian know who built this place? It's so mysterious that even the people who come out to receive it don't reveal the truth."

"I really don't know which faction it is. Anyway, it must not be the Canglang Sect. I heard that it has something to do with the Chamber of Commerce. Some people speculate that it is a high-level private property of the Chamber of Commerce, so they don't want to make a big fanfare."

"If it's a private property, it's justified."

A few people chatted while walking down, the passage became wider and wider, and they could meet a few monks from bottom to top from time to time.

After walking for about a thousand feet, a huge underground palace appeared in front of my eyes. The entire underground palace was about ten miles in size, and there were rows of palaces next to each other.

Red bricks and blue tiles, resplendent and resplendent, have an imperial atmosphere.

There are several men in black robes and masks standing guard in front of each palace.

"Fellow Daoist Tang, if you really don't want to enjoy it! You can also go to the casino to play. But I can tell you that the female cultivators trained here are really good, and they are much higher than the outsiders. Since it is rare for you to come, I really should experience it." Tian Qingzhi said.

"Oh? There's also a casino here?"

"Not only are there casinos, but occasionally there are also betting games!"

"Gambling, what betting?"

"Of course it's a gambling game between monks, I heard! The monks participating in the gambling game here are not very formal, so they dare not open it openly."

Tang Ning said, "Could it be that the cultivator's game that Daoyou Tian mentioned is similar to the game of spirit beasts? The end is endless?"

"Almost! It's just that the spirit beast is replaced by a human, so the competition will be more exciting. However, this kind of gambling competition does not happen all the time, it will be held about once a month."

"What does Fellow Daoist Tian mean by the irregular origin? Isn't this kind of gambling competition held in secret? What is the difference between formal and informal? What's the difference between the two?"

Tian Qingzhi said: "Of course there is a difference. In regular gambling games, both parties participate voluntarily. For example, you are very short of spirit stones, but you are very confident in your own strength, and you want to win a lot of spirit stones through the game."

"Or a member of the chamber of commerce made a mistake, and the chamber of commerce wants to give him a chance to participate in the betting competition of its industry, and it is stipulated that he will not be punished for winning as many games as possible."

"In short, any principle of voluntariness is formal, and on the contrary, being forced to participate in gambling games is naturally informal."

"For example, if you offend a certain force, or a person with a high level of cultivation, they take it down and sell it to the organizer of the game. They are usually detained and imprisoned. Only when the game is played, the restriction on your spiritual power will be released. Forcing you to participate in a life-and-death game."

"Or to be more direct, the organizer randomly grabs a few casual cultivators to participate in the betting competition, and this kind of thing is not uncommon."

While the two were talking, they walked in front of a palace. The monks guarding on both sides didn't seem to see everyone. They entered the inner room, which was even more luxuriously decorated with carved beams and paintings.

There are many rare playthings on display in the wide hall, including rotating crystal palace lanterns, jumping jade herding horses, and agate lions with scarlet eyes.

There are also stone birds with ethereal voices. When the stone mouth is opened and closed, a pleasant sound comes out.

"Welcome fellow daoists to visit this pavilion. I don't know what you need?" A woman in white gauze came to them, her face covered with a gauze, her snow-white skin looming.

"We need a room of Tianzi size." Tian Qingzhi said.

"Okay, fellow Taoists, come with me." The woman said, and led the crowd through the hall to a large courtyard behind.

The main room inside is decorated like a women's boudoir, with curtains of powder gauze hanging down, and the dim light constantly changing colors, like fleeting shadows, dreamlike.

There is smoke curling up all around, and the whole room smells of fragrance.

As soon as everyone was seated, the woman asked, "I don't know who will serve you, fellow Taoists?"

"Just find someone whose cultivation level is comparable to ours." Tian Qingzhi said.

"Okay, please wait a moment." The woman replied, she pulled out a flag in her hand, pointed at it, and a ray of light shot out from the flag, reflecting on the black stone wall.

But seeing the shimmering light on the stone wall, pictures are reflected one after another. The stone wall is five or six feet long and two or three feet high, and many portraits of ladies are engraved on it, which is lifelike.

The ladies in the picture are like real people, completely naked, covered with white gauze, flirting with their heads and posing in an extremely provocative manner. There are about dozens of women, with different fat rings, swallows and thin.

"This is all the golden core female cultivators in this pavilion. Who do you need to serve?"

"No. [-]." Tian Qingzhi first pointed to a woman on the stone wall and said.

Several other people have also designated a woman.

Only Tang Ning, Han Qian, and Xu An shook their heads and said they didn't need it.

The woman collected everyone's spirit stones and then retreated. The prices of the women displayed on the stone wall are different, the higher the cultivation level, the more expensive the price.

In the early stage of Golden Core, only [-] spirit stones are needed, in the middle stage of Golden Core, [-] spirit stones are needed, and in the late stage of Golden Core, [-] spirit stones are needed.

"Fellow Daoist Tian, ​​I'll take my leave first," Tangning said as she saw that they had each chosen a maid to accompany them.

"I'm not in such a hurry, I have to wait a little longer! Let's try two glasses of spiritual wine before we leave, the music here is not bad." Tian Qingzhi said.

As soon as the voice fell, footsteps sounded outside the house, the door was pushed open, a group of women and musicians in white clothes came in one after another, holding jade plates in their hands, put them in front of everyone's desks, and then retreated out.

A lot of spiritual food and spiritual wine were placed on the jade plate. While tasting the spiritual wine, everyone chatted with each other while listening to the music of silk and bamboo orchestra.

After about an hour, a few veiled women walked in from the outside. They were wearing robes that could not be seen on their bodies. After entering, they pulled their hands, and the robes fell off naturally, revealing their snow-white skin.

The six women are different in fat, ring, swallow, and thin. Some have charming looks, some are as cold as ice, some are pitiful, and some ask about their style. At the moment, they are all naked except for their faces covered with white gauze.

A few women surrounded the crowd, scratching their heads and posing, dancing to the music.

The room was full of chaos, Tangning retreated silently, Han Qian and Xu An also retreated one after another.

"Fellow Daoist Tian found a really good place! Even I was a little moved." Several people walked side by side, Xu An said with a smile.

Han Qian said: "Senior brother Xu is interested, why don't you enjoy it with Daoist Tian to your heart's content?"

"I can't help it! I practice a kung fu that prohibits sexual intercourse between men and women. Before the kung fu is completed, I will have no blessing to endure it." Xu An said: "Where do Fellow Daoist Tang and Junior Brother Han want to go?"

Tang Ning said, "I'm very interested in the monks' gambling competition here. I want to go and see. I just don't know if they hold it. If not, I plan to go to the casino to have fun."

Han Qian said: "I'm also going to go to the gambling house."

"Then let's go together!"

The three of them returned to the hall and walked up to a female nun who was receiving them. Tangning asked, "I heard that there is a monk gambling game in your pavilion. I don't know where it is?"

The woman replied: "The gambling competition in this pavilion is held once a month. If seniors want to participate, they have to wait until two days later."

"Where is your casino? How to get there?"

"Senior, please follow me." The woman led the three of them out of the palace and into another majestic and majestic hall.

Its decoration was the same as that of the palace just now. The three of Tangning exchanged [-] spirit stone chips in front of the cabinet, and came to a stone room. The inside was only a few feet in size, and there were several men sitting upright.

The three of them went straight to their seats and bet with chips.

This is a gambling method called "Huayue". The rules are very simple. The staff of the gambling house distributes three stone cards. Participants can raise their bets before each round of stone cards is opened. Whoever has the most suits will win. Higher number of points wins.

Tang Ning held chips of different sizes, raising bets or giving up from time to time. Everyone in the room remained silent and expressionless.

The chips are constantly circulating in everyone's hands, and those who lose, either leave directly or continue to exchange chips.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye, and the three of them played in the dark room for two days, each winning or losing.

……

After a round of poker was over, Tangning proposed to go to the game. Han Qian shook his head, unwilling to move around. He lost the most. He lost [-] spirit stones and exchanged another [-]. At this moment, he only thought about Sakamoto.

Xu An was quite interested, so the two left the room together, exchanged the chips for spirit stones, and asked about the location of the betting match.

After leaving the palace, they came to a majestic and majestic hall.

The inside is very spacious, with carved beams and painted buildings on the beams, crystal palace lanterns hanging high on the roof, and jasper red walls around.

There are many desks in the hall, and there are many people around each desk. At a glance, there are hundreds of people at least.

He was slightly startled, he didn't expect that there would be so many people in such an underground game, presumably most of them should be monks around Fengyun Pavilion.

From this point of view, this place is not a hidden place. After all, there are so many people who know about it. Once it is passed on to ten, ten to hundreds, everyone who should know must know it. At most, it is to hide it from outside monks like them.

Why bother!Since there are no restrictions, everyone can come and go as they please, so why make it so mysterious, isn't it good to have high-rise buildings?It has to be a mystery in the basement.

It made him a little nervous when he first entered the room.

Tangning believed Tian Qingzhi's words now. This place might really be a private property of a high-ranking power, and those masked monks might be members of a certain power organization.

There is a battle information sheet on every table in the hall. The whole gambling process lasted for three days, and all the monks who participated in the gambling game used aliases.

During the period, everyone's cultivation base and previous match information were displayed, including the odds of the betting match, etc...

There are a total of [-] monks' battles displayed on the battle table, divided into [-] groups, and the time periods are different. Most of them are monks in the foundation stage, and only two groups are in the golden core stage.

If you want to bet on the battle of the foundation building stage, the bet must not be less than [-] spirit stones in each round, and if it is a Jindan monk, it must not be less than [-].

In other words, you must bet before you can watch the corresponding game.

The first match was a duel between two mid-stage Foundation Establishment monks, which began at the end of today.

There are two people, a prince and a highness, obviously not their real names.

This prince has won both matches in the past, while His Highness has only won one match. The strength of the two should be relatively equal, so the odds are similar.

"Fellow Daoist Tang, which one do you want to buy?" Xu An asked as the two stood in front of a desk, looking at the battle chart on the picture.

Tang Ning smiled and said, "I came here to see the scene of monks' betting. Winning or losing depends on luck. As for which one to buy, Jindan's betting is too expensive, and the foundation building betting is more cost-effective. Even if you lose, It's only ten thousand spirit stones."

"I've never seen such a bet match before. I've gained experience since then, so let's buy the first game! I think the prince has won two games in a row, so he should still have some strength. Buying him should have a higher winning rate."

Tangning nodded, and the two of them dug out a high-grade spirit stone and handed it to the masked man at the desk, "Bet [-] spirit stones to buy the prince and win."

"Okay." The man took the Lingshi, took out a book, wrote a few lines, and handed it to Tangning, "Senior, please sign this."

Tang Ning did as she said, and signed the booklet. The man turned out a black number plate and handed it to him: "This game will start at the end of the day. Seniors will take a rest in the attic. When the time comes, we will notify you." senior."
