Palace of Heavenly Kings

Chapter 50
Chen Songzi opened the door and welcomed Chen Mo into the room.

Chen Mo glanced at the room, and found that the calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls, as well as the antique jade wares that filled the counters, had all disappeared.

Chen Songzi said from the side: "Master, I have sold everything. Even this house is no longer mine after today. I will serve you by your side from now on."

Yan Qingcheng was a little puzzled, but she knew the goods. She knew how many of Chen Songzi's paintings and calligraphy were genuine, so she sold them as soon as she said they were sold?

Yan Qingcheng suddenly felt, did this old man suffer from insanity? He didn't want a good home, but he wanted to follow Chen Mo's current life!
In fact, she is more than just a veteran, she Yan Qingcheng is not crazy in the eyes of others, the good Yan's family does not want to wait, but she ran all the way to Wuzhou to live in a room with Chen Mo.

It can be seen that people, sometimes, can only see the faults in others, but often ignore the faults in themselves.

Chen Mo nodded, took a deep look at Chen Songzi, and nodded again: "That's right, you've successfully induced Qi into your body."

"Since the master left, on the second night, I managed to induce Qi into my body, and I finally lived up to the grace of the master's preaching!" Hearing Chen Mo talk about his cultivation, Chen Songzi was extremely excited.

It was the first time he came into contact with martial arts practice, and Chen Songzi finally understood the magic of a practitioner, which strengthened his belief in following Chen Mo along this road.

Therefore, he resolutely sold all his property, which was to show his determination to Chen Mo, and also to give himself a break.

"This is your own effort. All right, take me to the quarry." Chen Mo said.

……

Chen Songzi brought Chen Mo and Yan Qingcheng's two daughters to the largest stone gambling field in Wuzhou, Zhenbaotang.

While entering the hall, Chen Songzi explained to Chen Mo: "This treasure hall is the largest stone gambling field in Wuzhou, and also the largest stone gambling field in Yangwu Province. There are also many young people who come to gain knowledge, but those who participate in stone gambling are basically rich and powerful people."

"I heard that the owner of this Zhenbaotang is Zhenbaozhai, which ranks second in the entire Wuzhou. In the entire Yangwu Province, Zhenbaozhai can also be ranked in the top ten."

The Treasure Hall is located in the suburbs of Wuzhou City. There is only one floor of the building. The entire hall is as big as five basketball courts. It is very spacious. There are many seats around it. In the middle is a rectangular stone platform with various stones placed on it. Some were the size of a basketball, and some even resembled a full grown pig.

Chen Mo knew that these should be the so-called rough stones.

There are many people around, pointing and commenting on those rough stones, some are optimistic, and silently write down the stone number.

Chen Songzi led Chen Mo and the three of them through the crowd and continued to walk until they reached a square stone platform at the end of the hall before stopping.

"This is the place to gamble on stones. The rough stones are selected from there, and then cut here. If you can get a good stone, you can even auction it on the spot." Chen Songzi continued to explain.

Yan Qingcheng also looked at the rough stones curiously. She had heard of gambling with stones, but she had never seen it on the spot. She seemed to be very interested in these gambling-like things.

Sang Sang stayed close to Yan Qingcheng's side, observing her surroundings vigilantly, and once she found someone approaching Yan Qingcheng, she would immediately block them one meter away from Yan Qingcheng.

Chen Mo glanced at those rough stones, and there were really two pieces that really interested Chen Mo, and the power of heaven and earth contained therein was comparable to that of the blue jade stone from last time.

"When does the stone gambling start?" Chen Mo asked lightly.

Chen Songzi said: "Master, the official start at nine o'clock in the morning, when the time comes, there will be many important people appearing, and they are the protagonists of the stone betting."

Chen Mo nodded, and suddenly said: "You don't need to call me Master in public from now on, just call me Young Master!"

A 50-year-old veteran addressing a [-]- or [-]-year-old young master may arouse the curiosity of many people. Chen Mo doesn't want to be regarded as the focus of attention wherever he goes.

"Yes, young master!" Chen Songzi was also a smart person, and he understood that Chen Mo didn't want to attract attention.

Chen Mo and the others stood quietly in front of the stone platform and waited for the stone betting to start. Outside the treasure hall, another group of people came, including three men and three women, who were particularly eye-catching.

Yang Qianqian took An Keyue's hand and said excitedly: "Finally, the Stone Gambling Conference has started. This time I will feast your eyes!"

An Keyue looked around curiously, and asked in a low voice, "Qianqian, what is gambling stone? Isn't it just a bigger stone, what's so interesting about it?"

Lin Tao beside Yang Qianqian smiled and said, "Miss An, don't say such things later, or you will make people laugh out loud!"

The other two boys also chuckled, laughing that An Keyue had never seen the world.

An Keyue's beautiful face flushed, and she glared at the three of them: "What's so funny, I just asked because I didn't understand."

Murong Yan'er hugged An Keyyue lightly, and explained with a smile: "Actually, betting on stones is a kind of gambling. Most of them rely on luck, and a few people rely on experience..."

Murong Yan'er had heard about gambling with stones before, and spread the knowledge to An Keyue. After listening to it, An Keyue nodded in amazement.

Immediately, An Keyue exclaimed: "I can't imagine that these seemingly ordinary stones are so expensive!"

Lin Tao smiled and said, "Let's go, let's go inside. The Stone Gambling Conference is about to start. I'll take you to see the world. Maybe you can meet people from my Lin family today."

Yang Qianqian said with surprise and envy: "You are talking about the first family in the neighboring state, the Lin family!"

"Except for the No. [-] family in the neighboring state, who else dares to be called the Lin family!" Lin Tao smiled proudly.

An Keyue and Murong Yan'er were also slightly surprised. The Lin family in the neighboring state is a huge monster!

While speaking, several people also walked to the stone platform at the end of the hall. Suddenly, Yang Qianqian pointed in the direction of Chen Mo and exclaimed: "Look, isn't that Chen Mo? Why is he here too!"

Lin Tao suddenly looked contemptuous: "This kid must want to try his luck at the quarry, but this quarry is not something that a country bumpkin can afford!"

An Keyue looked at the thin figure, and immediately frowned, wondering in her heart: "Why is Chen Mo here to bet on the quarry?"

On the other hand, Murong Yan'er was surprised, ignored them, ran over and shouted, "Chen Mo, why are you here?"

Chen Mo was standing in a corner, closing his eyes and resting his mind. Hearing Murong Yan'er's cry, he slightly raised his eyes and looked over, showing a bit of surprise: "Yan'er, what are you doing here?"

For Murong Yan'er who often rescued him in the previous life, Chen Mo felt a kind of intimacy in his heart, just like treating Jiang Xin, the address for Murong Yan'er was much more intimate.

Hearing Chen Mo directly calling herself Yan'er, Murong Yan'er's heartbeat suddenly missed half a beat, her shyness flashed away, and she stood in front of Chen Mo pretty.

Murong Yan'er clasped her hands together, and said with a smile: "Ke Yue and I are free, we were pulled by Qianqian to watch the fun, by the way, and you, are you also here to watch the fun?"

Chen Mo looked over, and immediately found Lin Tao, An Keyue and others, but Chen Mo didn't bother to talk to these people at all.

"No, I want to buy two stones and give them to my dad as a gift during the Chinese New Year." Chen Mo found a suitable excuse for himself to bet on stones.
