The Heavens: A Qing, the Yue Girl at the beginning

I thought that the first person to come to the divination would be the female host of the Void Path. Unexpectedly, she was overtaken by a snake-turned-dragon.Sensing a strange force directed at Zhao Qing, Jin Li moved his mind slightly and spit out a huge bubble to intercept it.

The next moment, the bubble that was only visible in Zhao Qing's eyes began to shrink rapidly. There were tens of millions of colorful rays of light inside that were constantly refracting, seemingly weaving extremely complex information, leading the opponent to go deeper step by step, and feeding back the secret technique of divination. The spirit of ice chi.

"Not good!" Although there was only a hundred feet distance between them, the dragon spirit beside Chang Yueyang was not aware of the many traps set by the golden carp at all. Instead, he felt that the more he divined, the smoother his mind became, as if he was regaining control. I realized how powerful my body was while still alive.

As a result, if it wasn't careful, it discovered that for some reason, it had failed to control the energy in the dragon bead. In an instant, the entire bead shone brightly, leaking out some power, stirring up a huge amount of spiritual energy from heaven and earth, and became a The most eye-catching presence in the palace.

Unprepared for the dragon spirit, Chang Yueyang, who was the closest, was immediately attacked by this force. In the blink of an eye, under the eyes of everyone, his face was frozen by the extremely cold air before even showing a look of fear. It became a solid ice sculpture, shook a few times, and fell to the ground.

Just as Long Ling was trying to cast a spell to unfreeze, Zhe Ge Wangchu, who had been observing this scene from a distance, snorted coldly, suddenly stimulating the gradually stagnant energy and blood of the person in the ice sculpture, causing it to release a large amount of heat. The outer ice exploded into pieces, but as a result, he was exhausted and lost energy for a short time.

Leaving aside this loser who made a fool of himself in public, in fact, the spells of the wizards on the field were not always perfect:

Some people used the art of transfiguration, trying to use the rare treasures in their hands to replace the Chao fungi in the jade gui, but their fingers disappeared. Others set up a divination array, and a heavy fog suddenly arose inside. Thunder fell and all the materials were destroyed.

Glancing at these failures, Jin Li spit out a few new bubbles and intercepted Long Ling's renewed fortunes and divination directed at others. He looked at Zhao Qing, who seemed to have no high-end operations, and thought for a moment. He came closer and said:

"This kind of gambling involving divination can be said to be what I am best at. It is easy to beat these little guys. Maybe you need my help?"

"No need." Zhao Qing seemed to have arranged something, and began to walk towards the square seat in the other corner, while rejecting the message.

For her, except for Chang Yueyang and Gumi Fucheng, who are protected by the "Six Qi" level power, the other wizards from the local Shouling family, although their inheritance is superb, their equipment is quite average and cannot stop her at all. The "other mind communication" is exerted silently.

With an almost completely transparent "vision", even if Zhao Qing knows nothing about divination and prayer, she is still guaranteed to win, not to mention that she is actually quite proficient in it and has come up with another ingenious trick.

……

About half an hour later, the jade square gui, which was originally translucent and allowed room for observation, became sealed inside and outside. The first round of gambling has entered the stage of counting one by one. Some people are happy, and some are also happy. Someone is worried.

It was probably dinner time, and everyone who was staying in the extended space of the hall saw multiple side doors appearing on the far wall. The doors opened, and several young women carrying bamboo baskets and wooden boxes walked in. , placed the food inside in front of their husbands.

As locals and all over [-] years old, most of the wizards on the field have married, had children, and started families. Whenever they take turns in the Mingtang, their wives will deliver prepared meals on time as a sign of gratitude. The meaning of caring.

Although people with the same surname are not allowed to marry, and people with other surnames are strictly prohibited from entering the Yuling Park, if the wife or concubine is already pregnant and has a child, she can be regarded as half a concubine and is allowed to move freely within the formation.

The women seemed a little surprised to see a few unfamiliar faces in the hall, but they quickly guessed their identities and showed a cordial and enthusiastic attitude.Several of the women walked up to Zhao Qing and handed several pastries into her hands with smiles.

"These pieces of 'sapphire cake' are a little bit of our kindness, please be sure to accept them." A woman explained enthusiastically, her voice as soft as the spring breeze: "These cakes are made of the unique sapphire flowers of Wanwei Mountain as the main ingredient. Supplemented by several kinds of spiritual herbs and grains, it can replenish some spiritual energy."

Smiling and nodding to the women, Zhao Qing, who had just won a lot, did not refuse, but took a piece of pastry and took a bite.Suddenly, a soft and waxy taste spreads in the mouth along with a touch of aura, and the aroma overflows, making people intoxicated.

He also got a few pieces of pastries, and put them on the table. When the women left from the side door, his majestic eyes swept across the crowd with different expressions, and said calmly: "Next, let's go It’s time to unveil the Ding Jade Gui. Does anyone else want to increase the number of bets?”

Chang Yueyang, who had been manipulated by Jin Li to control the results of every divination and put everything on the line, but lost everything in the first few times of the first round, heard this and couldn't help but take two steps closer to the Ding Jade Gui, with both hands. His eyes were faintly red, he hesitated for a moment, and finally made up his mind and said:
"I want to exchange new chips. The Chao bacteria inside died half a quarter of an hour ago!"

"What about the treasures you exchanged for?" Zhe Gewangzhu calmly looked at the other party who only had a sword and orbs on his body besides his robes, and asked:

"The divine weapon that symbolizes the identity of the next generation successor of the Chang family and the dragon ball that contains the soul of an ice chi are indeed of extremely high value. However, it seems that the ownership of both of them has not officially fallen into your hands yet!"

"I can set up a note and use my family's assets as collateral!" Having lost almost half of his personal fortune, Chang Yueyang really couldn't accept such a huge loss, and couldn't help but said: "If I can bet a hundred pairs of white jade, , How many pieces of coix can be exchanged for ten thousand yi of gold?"

"You can't exchange even one." Looking coldly at the gambler who was red-eyed after losing, Zhe Ge Wangtang glanced at Zhao Qing who was nearby, suddenly laughed, and refused:

"It will take a year or two to deal with such things as IOUs. I am a dying old man and I don't have time to spend time with young people."

"In addition, what about hundreds of pairs of Lingxi treasure armor, a thousand eight-foot ivory, and two hundred carts of cinnamon and fragrant wood?" Seeing that the chance of a final comeback was fleeting, Chang Yueyang was determined and added:
"These goods loaded on giant ships and sold overseas are parked in the port area southeast of Fuyangli. Theoretically, the price can reach [-] to [-] gold. Adding jade and gold, that's [-] to [-] gold! Moreover, it can definitely be delivered in a short time!”

"No matter what, it's still something without a shadow now." Zeng Gewangchu looked at his anxious look, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth:
"Besides, I am not an ocean-going merchant who deals with your Chang family. Everything is calculated based on price. In my opinion, treasures that are not used are just a pile of waste. If you want to exchange for the coix chips I have on hand, unless you do something Something to interest me."

Holding the ice bead that had brought him to this situation in his hand, Chang Yueyang hesitated for a moment between giving up and forcibly mortgaging it. Chang Yueyang seemed to have received some reminder and did not argue with the opponent who was deliberately blocking his path. , but turned to look at the other people on the field.

Looking around, he took a deep breath, looked at the expressionless Zhe Ge Wangchu again, and said in a deep voice: "If I can exchange enough chips, I will donate the money I just raised in the name of Zhe Ge." The property obtained will be used to help the orphans, widows and sick people in Yue Kingdom."

Before people die, they usually pay special attention to their posthumous reputation. In Chang Yueyang's view, Zhenge Wangshu should be no exception. As for himself, he doesn't care about the loss of [-] to [-] gold, he is just worried about it. Such poor performance was exploited by enemies within the family.By rescuing orphans and widows, he helped Zeng Ge become famous. No matter whether he lost or failed in the subsequent gambling battle, he had performed a righteous deed after all, and he stood on the commanding heights, making it difficult for others to criticize him.

However, the next moment, Zeng Gewangchu opposite him sneered, "Do you think your generosity can move me? This is just your own performance! A sincere act of kindness is never done for others to see, let alone Something to trade with.”

"Did you know that since I set up this bet 12 years ago, I will donate all the money lost by everyone, so that when the villagers of the right age go out to find a match, they can help distribute it to the poor and poor in need?"

Will they all be donated?Hearing this, Zhao Qing, who had already learned about Chang Yueyang's provocation and was counterattacked, was also a little surprised. He vaguely sensed that what Zeng Ge Wangshu said was indeed true. Although the other party had been staying in the Yu Temple, But he also managed to do many good deeds.

"Stop talking anymore! Those who are dishonest in their words are bound to be dishonest in their hearts and ignorant of the right path. How can there be a way forward? I have recorded your prodigal behavior in this gambling game and sent it to the seven families of the Chang family. Lao, let’s see if they are still willing to accept you as the next head of the family.”

He gave his opponent, who was secretly making extra moves, the opportunity to stop raising money several times, but got such a result. Zhe Ge Wangchu also felt a little sad, and seven green birds formed with his wave of his hand and flew towards the window at high speed. At the same time, Chang Yueyang, whose cultivation was sealed, was thrown out of the Mingtang area and landed directly in the middle of a mud pond, covered with filth.

After tasting the wine as if nothing had happened, he filled it up again. He seemed to be in a much better mood and said with interest:

"Over the years, the various major forces have become more and more accurate in their predictions of the real-life information of King Mu's Treasure City. If nothing unexpected happens, this time it should appear deep in the mountains northwest of Yuji Dayi in our Yue Kingdom in a few months."

"According to legend, the luminous ever-full cup presented to King Mu by the Queen Mother of the West is hidden in this mysterious treasure city. I don't know if anyone can take it out during this expedition and use it with the Shaokang in my hand. Shan Lei competes to see which wine is better?"

Although he seemed to just want to see the world-famous peerless wine vessel, in Zhao Qing's reaction, he clearly showed a sense of loss and sadness, as well as a longing for the colorful scenery of the outside world.

Yu Ji Dayi?It should be Yuqian County later.So, the present location of King Mu’s Treasure City is in the Fuyu Mountains?Hearing this, Zhao Qing felt thoughtful.

It was at this time that Shi Yiguang, who had won a lot according to Zhao Qing's bet but had not yet followed the bet this time, seemed to have finally made up his mind. He suddenly took out a silk scroll from his back and slowly unfolded it. When I opened it, I saw four different patterns painted on it.

She held a piece of spiritual jade in each palm of her hands, and held the silk scroll between her fingertips, with a bright light shining in her eyes.Under the injection of spiritual energy within the white jade, the originally dim and dull painting began to flow in color, as if it had been given life.

The scenery of the four seasons changes, spring flowers, autumn moon, summer rain and winter snow, each painting seems to tell a touching story.In the scroll, the morning fungus grows in it, experiencing the cycle of life and blooming with a different kind of brilliance.

They grow in the painting, gradually growing from immature spores into lush fungi. After experiencing the baptism of the four seasons, they seem to have become tougher and longer-lived, and seem to have surpassed the limitations of life itself.

Those morning fungi that can only live for one day in reality have now experienced the changes of spring, summer, autumn and winter in the painting, becoming "long-lived" species that can go through four seasons.

Seeing this scene, Shi Yiguang's eyes showed an indescribable tenderness and compassion, as if she was watching a group of small lives blooming in her hands.

"What I drew was a tiny creature like the mushroom."

She gently stroked the scroll and murmured in a low voice: "In this scroll, you are no longer small bacteria that live and die, but you can go through wind and rain, witness the cycle of the four seasons, and can even become a symbol of 'longevity'. Live forever.”

Looking up at the incomprehensible Zeng Ge Wangchu in front of him, Shi Yiguang spoke softly but firmly: "Therefore, with all the chips I have on hand, the Ding Chao bacteria can live for many years."

"Oh?" It seemed that he was not surprised that the other party would show such a picture. Zhen Gewangchu smiled leisurely and replied: "Although in the picture you painted, the Chao Fungi can live forever, but for this Ding Jade Gui For the bacteria inside, this is still not true."

"Therefore, with this act of yours, you have really lost the bargaining chip that could have been exchanged for nearly two glasses of 'holy wine'." He opened the cover of the D-size jade gui and saw that the Chao fungus inside was on the verge of death. He sighed with some regret:

"However, I really like your four-season scroll with the mushrooms painted on it, so I plan to exchange it for four 3000-year-old five-color Ganoderma lucidum. Miss Shi, can you part with it?"

……

Just as Zhao Qing and others were settling their bets and odds, and were preparing to enter the betting stage for No. [-] Jade Gui, an inconspicuous hill several hundred feet away, two to three hundred miles away, started a meaningful battle simultaneously. A momentous foursome meeting.

"Is this Yi Zipi you want to recommend really reliable?" Tian Guan glanced at the young man in white who was sitting on the top of the mountain, looking at the millions of hectares of paddy fields in Fuzhong Datang to the east. Tian Guan looked at him again with a serious look on his face. Fan Li, the Prime Minister of Yue, couldn't help asking.

"What our Tian family needs now is a wise and prudent counselor, preferably one who has experienced the actual test of political struggle. But what you recommend is such a smooth-talking young man? What if it weren't for this? With Sun Di’s guarantee, I thought you were joking?”

"As the third person in the Tian family of Qi State, it's not like you haven't seen truly outstanding geniuses. Sun Changqing, the father of Sun Di, is an example. How can you make such a judgment on a person just because he is young?" Fan Li smiled slightly. , retorted:
"Zipi could answer all the questions you just asked perfectly from a mountain away. To be fair and just, he is still better than Sun Di. But when I really saw his face, because of this It is really unreasonable to look down on the other party for any reason."

"No wonder, Tian Guan, you are much older than Tian Chang, but your cultivation level is suppressed by your second brother. It turns out that there are too many hidden prejudices in your heart, which have produced all kinds of stagnation derived from Taoism."
