Chapter 28 Betting
This year's island seems to be very lively.
From all over the coastal areas, there are countless people rushing to the center of the island.
It is a wide plain area in the southeast of the island near the center of the island.
At this time, thousands of people have gathered there.
On the wide plain, there are dozens of courtyards. This can be said to be a big village. Although these courtyards are very scattered, they are surrounded by a wide square.
There are five stone platforms three meters high and 50 meters in the square.
Looking at the stands around, it can accommodate thousands of people.
At this time, the clouds in the sky are red. Many people came here one after another.
There are more than 20 people rushing on a wide road. In this group, except for an old man who is the leader, the rest are about 20 young people. Everyone is energetic and restrained, and he knows at a glance that he is a martial arts master.
The old man walking in the front, short and thin, has a cigarette rod made of bamboo pole in the collar at the back of his neck, and a small gray cloth bag hangs at the top of the cigarette pole, swinging in the air. From time to time, a trace of wisdom flashed in those small eyes.
Although the old man looks 50 or 60 years old, he is very steady and energetic.
At the back of the team, there is a tall teenager who is only 18 or 19 years old, but he is very strong and burly.
At this moment, he is looking around with his head open, looking very curious. It's like I haven't seen a countryman in the market enter the city.
However, this is not the city. It's just tall trees around.
I don't know why he is so curious.
"Ah, haha, isn't that the village head of Wangjia Village? What, you just arrived now."
Suddenly, more than 20 figures jumped out of the woods.
The leader is a very short and fat old man who is greeting Wang Mu. The old man is very fat, his waist is as big as a wooden barrel, and his legs are short and thick. The whole head is also extremely big. The whole face was also loose and trembling. The whole person is like a fat pig.
After hearing this sound, Wang Mu frowned. He had long known that someone had come close to them, but he didn't expect it to be this fat man. I don't know how many teams I have met along the way. It's not surprising.
Ah, haha. But it's you fat pig. What, haven't you abdiced yet?"
Wang Mu stopped and greeted the fat one.
"Dead bamboo pole, what are you talking about? There is a way to say it again."
As soon as he heard the word fat pig, the smiling face of the fat old man over there suddenly became gloomy, his head was slightly lowered, his forehead was dark, and his body faintly exuded a murderous atmosphere. These two words are his taboo. If anyone says this in front of him, he will be anxious to anyone.
"Ah! What did I just say? It seems to be something, something. Alas, I'm old and have a bad memory. I forgot what I just said so quickly.
Wang Mu pretended to be confused.
"Huh! Dead bamboo pole, give me a call! In front of so many descendants, how dare you break my taboo? I don't think you don't want to live.
Before the word "" was finished, the figure of the fat old man disappeared in place. When he appeared again, he had arrived in front of Wang Mu, and the fat fist also hit Wang Mu.
"Hey, old man, you still have this way. It's been 20 years, but you haven't made any progress!" Wang Mu seemed to have known for a long time that the fat old man would suddenly make a move and did not panic. He took a step back and raised his hand to block the fat fist of the fat old man.
For a while, the two old men competed. The two changed from one-handed resistance to two-handed resistance. Both of them are about to come together. The two old men are about the same height, but they are fat and thin, and two pairs of small eyes are staring at each other.
In the transformation of the fat man, there is also an old man, who is squinting his eyes and smiling at the corners of his mouth, looking at the people on the Wangjia Village side. When he saw Gongsun Xuan standing at the end, he was a little stunned, and there was a trace of doubt in his eyes. But it soon recovered.
"All right. Both of you are old and love to fight. There are still so many descendants watching here, and they are not afraid of shame!"
The old man stood up, stretched out his hands and patted them gently on their shoulders. Wang Mu and the fat old man's bodies trembled slightly, and then separated.
"Hmm. Forget about today. Let's count this hatred on the martial arts stage. The fat old man still has some resentment in his heart.
" I'm still afraid of you. On the martial arts stage, it is calculated on the martial arts stage. That's right, let's bet more this time!" Wang Mu did not show weakness and resolutely counterattacked.
In every martial arts competition, the village chiefs of each village will gamble in private. And the bet is the skills and elixir rewarded in the Holy Land. These things are undoubtedly important wealth for a village. This is the capital to cultivate the younger generation.
"Hmm. Increase the stakes?" The fat old man couldn't help but be stunned. Those small eyes narrowed into a crack and stared at Wang Mu tightly. Those small eyes looked at the crowd behind Wang Mu. After a long time, he said hee.
What an old fox. So you tricked me early in the morning. Just now, I just wanted to increase my bet on this gamble! Hey hey, I think you are getting more and more stupid! With such a little strength of your Wangjia Village, do you also want to compare with our Yanjia Village?
Wang Mu did not deny it, but still had a smiling face. It adds some mystery.
"How much do you want to increase your bet?" Seeing Wang Mu smiling and saying nothing, the fat old man endured for a long time and couldn't help asking.
"Three secrets, thirty local elixir. How about it? Do you dare to bet with me?"
"Three secrets, 30 local pills? Are you crazy?" The fat old man couldn't help but be surprised when he heard the bet. Even the old man beside him couldn't help twitching.
There is nothing in the three secrets. Although these things are rewarded in the Holy Land, they will not be exchanged and copied with each other in each village. However, 30 grains of local Dan are very precious. After each martial arts competition, the Holy Land will be rewarded according to the performance of each village. Every local elixir represents a master who can cultivate an acquired realm. And in every martial arts competition, a village will not be rewarded with more than 50 pieces of local elixir. Fifty grains of local Dan seem to be a lot, but there will be hundreds of people in each village, and this martial arts competition is held once every 20 years. Even 50 elixirs are not enough to consume in a village. Now, the other party's bet has been increased to 30 grains, which is not afraid of a big gamble.
"I'm not crazy. It depends on whether you dare to gamble or not.
"Even if I bet with you, do you have so many elixir?" The fat old man's face was full of blood and red. He was so excited by the village head of Wangjia Village, coupled with the huge bet, which really made him a little excited.
"If I lose, as long as you can get these 30 elixirs, you don't have to worry about the rest. Besides, when did I, Wang Mu, not keep his promise?
The fat old man lowered his fat head and began to meditate.
"Wang Mu, didn't the old guy Wang Yinhan come?" The old man behind the fat old man said.
"It turns out that Yan Lao also came. I just forgave my clums and didn't see it." Wang Mu saluted the old man. But he didn't answer the old man's question.
"Don't call me. Let me ask you, why didn't Wang Yinhan come? Do you want to give up fighting for the ranking?
"Well. The old man Yin was practicing at a critical juncture. He said that he seemed to have touched a trace of edge and would not attend this conference. However, we still have to participate in this ranking comparison. As for how many places we can rank, we don't know. Wang Mu replied respectfully.
"Hmm, it's just you. I think it's the last few." The fat old man suddenly said sarcasticly.
Wang Mu was not angry, with a mysterious smile on the corners of his mouth and said, "How's it going? The stakes have been increased this time, and you still want to bet or not.
The fat old man turned around and looked at the old man named Yan around him, as if he was asking for his opinion.
"Cough. I don't think this bet needs to be that big! Well, well, three secrets and fifteen elixirs. How about it?" Yan Lao said.
When the fat old man saw Yan open his mouth, he also nodded and echoed, "Yes, although this bet is still very big, everyone can bear it. After all, there are too many 30 elixirs. Even if our Yanjia Village has been used sparingly for 100 years, there are only more than ten elixirs left. In addition, although this reward can be enough, the bet is still too big.
"It's okay. There are only three secrets and fifteen elixirs. However, this gambling method can no longer be bet as before. Wang Mu saw that the other party agreed and immediately agreed. The other party's reply has exceeded his expectations.
"Well, change the gambling law? What's the gambling method?" Hearing Wang Mu's proposal to change the gambling method, the fat old man was shocked and asked quickly. He knows the old fox in front of him very well. If he is not sure, he won't do it. I suddenly want to increase my bet this time, but I'm afraid I can win. This is related to the future of his village, and he has to guard against it.
"Our gambling method this time is to bet that our Wangjiacun can enter the top ten in the ranking." Wang Mu suddenly smiled at the fat old man. The smile is full of strangeness.
"The top ten? Hahaha, it's so funny. I said, thin bamboo pole, if Elder Wang Yinhan comes, I still believe it is possible that if you can rank second to the bottom, you will be great. The fat old man laughed with his stomach in his hand, as if he heard a very funny joke.
"Don't be silly here. I just want to ask, whether to gamble or not. As long as our Wangjiacun can enter the top ten, I will win. How about it?" Wang Mu didn't care at all about the ridicule of the fat old man. Just laugh. In a few days, there will be a time when you cry. Wang Mu also smiled secretly in his heart.
Yan Lao's narrow eyes stared at the village head. After looking at it for a long time, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay, let's bet on this. I'd like to see if you're crazy or have a secret power. However, I want to advise you that even if you break through, you can't enter the top ten.
"Good. Then this bet is settled. Guys, let's go." Wang Mu laughed and strode forward.
"Yan Lao, what did you just say? Did that old guy break through?" Fat rock asked with a surprised face.
"I don't know. Generally speaking, even if he breaks through, I can feel his breath. His breath doesn't seem to be a breakthrough. However, I can feel that some of their group has broken through. It's just that I don't know who it is.
"No way! Those people are only about 20 years old. It broke through at such a young age. Is there a evil in their Wang's village? The fat old man opened his mouth wide. He doesn't believe that Wang Jiacun has this ability to cultivate a congenital strong man in his 20s.
"Hey. I don't know what's wrong. No one has been able to break through before entering the Holy Land for a long time. If there is really someone, then his talent is really strong. Let's go. In a few days, all the mysteries will be solved automatically.
