Out of curiosity, Qin Yun and Fang Ruobing walked over to see what was going on.
The wooden platform was obviously a temporary one. It was half a dozen feet high and nine red lanterns were hung high on the vertical wooden frame. Below the lanterns were all hanging light yellow rectangular pieces of paper with the words "Three Dragons" written on them.
"Four", "Five" and other eye-catching characters.
Under each lantern, there was a man in green shirt sitting, busy collecting gold and silver money from the crowd of onlookers, and at the same time exchanging bamboo sticks for chips. The atmosphere was quite lively and lively, with at least hundreds of people gathered around.
people.
"Come on, come on! This is a rare opportunity. Qin Yun, a disciple of Tiancheng Sword Sect, challenges Tianlu Wenjian to see how many levels he can pass. Buy one and get one, buy two and get two... Buy nine and get ninety!"
Someone shouted loudly.
Qin Yun and Fang Ruobing couldn't help but look at each other, not expecting that this wooden platform had something to do with him.
After watching for a moment and asking a passerby, Qin Yun finally figured it out.
It turns out that the news that he will pass the nine levels on the road to heaven tomorrow has spread throughout Langya City. The largest gambling house in the city, Ruyi Gambling House, has set up a gambling table for this purpose, offering a total of nine handicaps for gamblers to place bets.
When Qin Yun participated in the Xihai Martial Arts Association, he had seen similar gambling games, so he was not much surprised. He could only lament that gambling houses were so pervasive and he was good at seizing opportunities to open gambling games.
What is more interesting is the handicap offered. The so-called buy one and pay one, buy two and pay two are to bet on how many levels he can pass. If he passes one level, he will pay one for one, if he passes two levels, he will pay two for one, and so on.
The eighth level pays eight for one, but it can only be won by a single bet. That is to say, if he only passes eight levels, then only the person who buys eight is considered the winner. The other players no matter which level they buy are considered losers.
The odds in the ninth level are as high as ninety times!
This shows that Ruyi Gambling House does not believe that Qin Yun can pass nine levels in a row. The ninety times odds are just a gimmick.
Fang Ruobing laughed softly and said: "I'll buy the ninth level and pay for this gambling house!"
Qin Yun laughed and said: "They won't pay to death. If the bet is too high, they will close the deal. You won't accept it if you bet too high."
The most important thing for a gambling house to open a gambling game is to calculate the odds and formulate rules that are beneficial to themselves, so they are guaranteed to make money without losing money. It is nothing more than a matter of making more or less.
"Let's go..."
Qin Yun said that he had no interest in this kind of gold and silver gambling. If the other party could accept Lingyu's bet, he wouldn't mind making a huge profit.
"Junior brother, how much did you buy?"
"I bought two hundred taels of silver in the second level. I think this level has the greatest possibility! How about you, senior brother?"
"I think that Qin Yun is not that weak, so I bought one hundred taels each for the third level and the fourth level!"
"Hehe, do you know who the senior brother is guarding the second level? I passed the first level, and Qin Yun was able to pass the first level. He didn't even think about the second level!"
Just as Qin Yun and Fang Ruobing were about to leave, there was a noise not far away, and they saw five or six young disciples of the Beihu Sword Sect talking loudly in front of the gambling table, attracting the attention of many people.
"Senior Brother Chen, do you have any inside information? Who is the senior guarding the second level?"
"Haha. If you believe me, just buy the first level instead, and it will be closed after a while!"
Hearing this, Qin Yun raised his eyebrows and snorted coldly.
He thought for a while, stepped forward and separated the crowd, walked to the gambling table with the number "9" lantern hanging on it, and asked the dealer sitting on it: "What is the highest bet you can make here?"
The man in green shirt looked at Qin Yun and said, "A thousand taels of silver or a hundred taels of gold will do."
"Okay, I'll bet a hundred taels of gold!"
Qin Yun took out a letter of gold bars and threw it up without hesitation.
The dealer was stunned for a moment, looked at the yellow gold bars falling on the gaming table, and said hesitantly: "Do you want to buy the ninth level?"
His level of business is the worst, because no one believes that Qin Yun can pass the ninth level. There are only a few gamblers who randomly throw away a few taels to make a small gain. The really good odds are concentrated on three, four, and five.
At the six position.
Now Qin Yun actually took out a hundred taels of gold as a bet on the ninth level, why didn't he be surprised!
"That's right!"
After receiving Qin Yun's affirmative answer, the dealer shook his head in disbelief, but still counted the amount of gold according to the rules. After confirming that it was correct, he handed the bet chip certificate to Qin Yun, and at the same time shouted loudly: "Ninth
Guan, bet a hundred taels of gold!"
When a large bet is made, the dealer will announce it loudly to arouse the atmosphere.
His roar was extremely loud, and the hundred taels of gold were also very shocking, especially with the prefix "Ninth Level", which immediately suppressed the entire audience and attracted the attention of countless people.
"Level 9? Did I hear that right? Is there anyone else betting big on this level?"
"A hundred taels of gold? Who has so much money and no place to spend it? Why don't you give it to me if you give it to the gambling house for nothing?"
"Haha, maybe I win, but I can lose ninety times!"
"Ninety times? Hehe, you go and bet too!"
After a moment of silence, countless cynicisms resounded from the crowd. Many people looked at Qin Yun with mocking eyes, as if they were looking at the biggest fool in the world.
Someone from the Sword Sect disciples came over just now. He probably regarded Qin Yun as a fellow sect, and said in a tone of hatred: "Junior brother, are you new here? You can't spend money like this if you have money. What's wrong with Qin Yun?"
Maybe we can pass through the nine levels of the Heavenly Road of our North Lake Sword Sect!"
Qin Yun smiled and said: "Really? Thank you for reminding me, senior brother, but I think Qin Yun will not lose!"
"How come you..." The other party suddenly frowned and looked very unhappy: "Senior brother, I..."
Qin Yun had no interest in looking at his face, so he put away his chips and walked away, which made the sword sect disciple almost twist his nose with anger. If his fellow disciples hadn't stopped him, he would have caught up with him and taught Qin Yun a lesson.
In fact, for the entire Langya Island, the impact of Qin Yun's challenge to the Nine Passes of Tianlu is not just a small gambling game opened by Ruyi Gambling House. The competition between the two major forces of the North Lake Sword Sect has quietly emerged.
water surface.
When he and Fang Ruobing returned to the Yingbin Pavilion, someone sent a secret letter.
The secret letter contains a lot of content. It lists in detail the names, levels of strength, swordsmanship and other information of the disciples of the sword sect guarding the Nine Sword Platforms guarding the Heavenly Road, allowing Qin Yun to clearly know who his opponent will be.
This letter means that within the Beihu Sword Sect, there are people who do not want to see Qin Yun lose, or to be more precise, lose miserably. With this information, Qin Yun can at least be fully mentally prepared to face tomorrow.
challenge.
But the person who wrote the letter probably wouldn't have thought that all his hard work would be in vain, because Qin Yun doesn't care who his opponent is at all. He is confident of winning tomorrow's Pilgrim Challenge!
Another long night has passed and dawn has dawned.
There are no clouds in the clear sky. The rising sun shines on the rippling blue Dianze Lake, scattering billions of gold scales. The bright sunshine dispels the mist shrouding Langya Island, revealing the towering Beichen Peak.
Complete true appearance.
Thousands of Beihu Sword Sect disciples gathered on the Heavenly Road leading to the top of Beichen Peak. They all came to watch Tiancheng disciple Qin Yun challenge the nine levels of the Heavenly Road in a competition and cheer for their fellow disciples.
There are also many people living under Beichen Peak, but most of them are residents of Langya City. The last time a foreign master sword cultivator challenged Tianlu was ten years ago, which made them full of curiosity about Qin Yun.
However, neither the disciples of the Beihu Sword Sect nor the residents of Langya City believed that Qin Yun could succeed in the challenge. In their opinion, although the Tiancheng Sword Sect was a large sect, the Beihu Sword Sect was not far behind, so how could he let
Qin Yun passed nine levels in a row?
You must know that the most outstanding disciples of the Sword Sect are guarding the sword platform, and the elders of the Sword Sect hold the battle in the final stage.
At Chen hour, Qin Yun appeared at the intersection leading to the road to heaven.
In addition to Fang Ruobing, he was accompanied by two elders, Yun and Li.
Zhao Chen and Cheng Yinghu were already waiting at the intersection. When he saw Qin Yun, he smiled coldly and said: "Qin Yun, don't say that our Beihu Sword Sect is bullying others. If you want to go back on your word now, you still have time. As long as you kowtow in front of the tomb of Brother Yinghu and admit your mistake."
, this time the Pilgrim Questions and Answers can be cancelled!"
Elder Yun and Elder Li frowned at the same time, but neither spoke.
No matter what, they are all members of the Beihu Sword Sect, and they cannot help Qin Yun at this time. After all, this competition was proposed by Qin Yun himself. No wonder Zhao Chen is so arrogant.
Qin Yun smiled lightly and said: "Senior Zhao, if you are afraid of losing, you can let others guard the ninth level."
Zhao Chen suddenly became furious, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes: "Okay! In that case, don't blame me for being ruthless, but don't worry, if you have the ability to reach the ninth level, I will keep you alive.
!”
"Let's go!"
Cheng Yinghu stared at Qin Yun with extremely malicious eyes, followed his master on the road to heaven, and headed towards the peak.
Seeing the two people getting smaller, Elder Yun shook his head and said, "Qin Yun, I won't advise you anymore. You can only walk on your own on the road below. Take care of yourself!"
Qin Yun nodded and took long steps up the first step of the road to heaven.
The rugged mountain road is narrow and steep, with cliffs on the left and dense mountain forests on the right. Many disciples of the Beihu Sword Sect were waiting by the woods next to the mountain road, watching Qin Yun walk towards the first sword platform step by step.
The sword platform on Tianlu is actually a huge rock protruding outward on the left side of the mountain road. However, after clever reinforcement and expansion, it formed a stone platform seven to eight feet square.
In full view of everyone, Qin Yun walked up hundreds of steps. When he saw the first sword platform, he also saw his opponent in the first level of the Pilgrim Sword.
