Zhang Jun stepped forward to thank me, but the Zen master waved his hand: "No need to thank me, just do one thing for me after coming down the mountain."
Zhang Jun quickly asked what was going on.
The Zen master said: "I am about to pass away. Go and inform Yunhu and Zhenru to go up the mountain. I have something to explain."
Zhang Jun was shocked and said: "Zen Master, your Qi and blood are so strong, how can you possibly sit down and pass away?"
The Zen master smiled: "Everyone has to die, even the Buddha has to sit down and pass away, let alone me? I am one hundred and forty-nine years old this year. He was born in 1864. Emperor Tongye should have been in power when he was born.
Right? Then came Guangxu and the Republic of China. In this life, I have experienced too much, including the Sino-Japanese War of 1894, the invasion of the Eight-Power Allied Forces, Beiyang, Japan's invasion of China, and the current new government. Alas, it has been too long. Many things and people have changed.
forgotten."
Zhang Jun saw a kind of vicissitudes and relief on the face of the Zen master. Only a person who has lived for a century and a half can have this kind of detached state of mind. He didn't know what to say and fell silent.
"In the past few decades, people's lives have gradually stabilized. At least no foreign invaders have invaded our land, killing people and setting fires. I can die in peace." The Zen Master smiled and said, "You young people are energetic and courageous, so you must live your life with your heart.
Let future generations remember your names."
"Yes." Zhang Jun lowered his head.
"Okay, you go down the mountain. I have eaten all my vegetables in the past few days. If I continue to eat, I will be hungry." The Zen master said with a smile and gave the order to expel the guests.
Zhang Jun suddenly felt a little sad. Human life turns out to be over so quickly. He felt a sense of urgency in his heart and had the urge to engrave himself on the inscription of history.
When going down the mountain, Ge Xiaoxian kept looking at Zhang Jun. The latter couldn't help but ask: "What are you looking at?"
Ge Xiaoxian said: "I find that you have become more mature."
Zhang Jun:……
The two of them returned to the East China Sea that day, and there were only three days left before the duel. Three days later, he and Zuo Tianlang would fight to the death on the gambling boat. Only one of the two could survive.
This matter was too important, so everyone who had a good relationship with Zhang Jun basically gathered in the East China Sea. Lin Xian, people from the Lin family, Zhang Wu, Shang Yang, Li Yunfei, etc., and even Hua Buyi also rushed back despite their busy schedule.
When Hua Buyi learned that Zhang Jun had cultivated the Dragon and Tiger True Gang, he was moved and said: "You have a great opportunity! Even as a master, you could not cultivate the Gang, but you took this step ahead of time."
Zhang Junqi said: "Master, is it that difficult to make a cloth?"
Hua Buyi snorted: "You only know that there is the golden elixir realm, but you don't know that there are still a few small steps to take after holding the elixir. One of them is the cloth gang. Once the gang energy is perfected, the vajra is indestructible, and you can easily live to a thousand years."
More than a hundred years old.”
Zhang Jun hurriedly asked and found out that after holding the elixir, there are three small stages: inner vision, Bu Gang, and Yuanjue. Among them, he has been exposed to both Neishen and Bu Gang so far. Only Yuanjue is quite magical and is a kind of spirituality.
For cultivation, it is also a barrier to entering the level of supernatural powers.
According to Hua Buyi, most people who have achieved elixirs can see inside. Those who have achieved elixirs of the third level or above have the opportunity to create magic. Only those who have achieved elixirs of the first level have the opportunity to enter the realm of enlightenment. Only after the elixirs have achieved enlightenment can they further step into the realm of supernatural powers.
Not only Zhang Jun’s friends came to Donghai, but also representatives of many financial groups, because they all wanted to participate in the gambling game opened by the God of Wealth in Donghai. Tens of billions of dollars have been attracted to participate, and this amount is still rising.
Before the duel, various people kept coming to visit Zhang Jun, including many martial arts masters. He understood that these people were here to test his martial arts skills in order to judge the winning rate of the gamble.
Zhang Jun naturally did not reveal Bu Gang's strength. What he showed to the outside world was his strength. So the next day, the odds changed from 20 to 30, and Zhang Jun's winning rate was suddenly reduced to 2%.
fifteen.
When encountering a good opportunity to make money, Zhang Jun would certainly not miss it. He logged into the Shen Shen platform overnight and mortgaged 30,000 points of the leader's 60,000 contribution points to obtain a loan of US$15 billion.
In addition to the 35 billion in the company, the total gambling capital he invested reached 127 billion!
In addition, he discovered that the God of Wealth in the East China Sea directly set up the gambling game on the god's platform and attracted many people to participate. Zhang Jun was surprised by the name of one of the participants. The other party's code name was "Buyi Tianzi", and the bet was as high as one
Ten billion dollars.
Zhang Jun immediately contacted Hua Buyi, and after asking, he found out that the Emperor Buyi was Hua Buyi's account on the Spirit Platform. Hua Buyi's explanation for this was that he could participate in gambling games that were sure to make money.
The money invested by Zhang Jun and Hua Buyi's master and apprentice alone exceeded 30 billion U.S. dollars. This kind of generosity surprised the God of Wealth in the East China Sea. But the development of the matter was not over yet. Next, the merchants represented by Shang Yang invested one billion U.S. dollars.
The Lin family invested US$500 million in the gambling game.
Old Depp directly threw out 10 billion US dollars. According to him, injecting too much capital would cause bookmakers to be wary, so he only invested 10 billion US dollars.
Even Bai Liansheng from Jiangdong got involved, investing US$300 million. The Wen family started late, investing US$200 million as a bet on Zhang Jun.
In addition to these people Zhang Jun knows, there are also some unknown people who have bet on his side, with a total amount of about five billion US dollars.
In the end, the accumulated funds to buy Zhang Junsheng reached 47 billion U.S. dollars. This caused Donghai God of Wealth to modify the odds to 08 overnight. The winning rate of buying Zhang Jun surpassed Zuo Tianlang in one fell swoop. This shows that the funds to buy Zuo Tianlang were also as high as
About US$37 billion.
Somewhere in the East China Sea, a supervisory team under the National Security Bureau is paying close attention to this underground gambling. The big screen is showing the amount of money Zhang Jun and Zuo Tianlang are betting on.
"Oh my God! The total amount is more than 80 billion US dollars! Are these people crazy? Betting so much money on a gamble!" a surveillance officer exclaimed, with disbelief written on his face.
Standing behind him was an officer who was the leader of the group. He said with great interest: "This Zhang Jun is from our National Security Bureau and belongs to the X Brigade. I didn't expect that he would be so energetic and create such a big disturbance."
This sentence was like a bombshell falling, and the team members were all surprised: "What? He is from our national security?"
The team leader said: "This is normal. With such a large capital flow, it would be outrageous if it was not under the control of Guoan."
The time to start the war finally arrived. The next day, the East China Sea was calm, and Zhang Jun and the people around him took a helicopter to the gambling boat. This gambling boat was jointly built by the rich people in the East China Sea, and its appearance took away the business of many Macau casinos.
The profit of the gambling boat last year was as high as 8 billion. Now that it has been in operation for more than two years, shareholders have basically recovered their investment costs.
The gambling boat was chartered by Zhang Jun, and the rent for one day was as high as 30 million. In addition, the gambling boat was specially opened for the decisive battle between Zhang Jun and Zuo Tianlang. Although the gambling money was not as high as the game of the God of Wealth in the East China Sea, it was still as high as
Tens of billions.
The helicopter landed on the huge gambling boat, and Zhang Jun and others were invited to the stage. Shaolin Temple was the organizer of this duel, and the temple sent many representatives, including Zen Master Su Ji, who was sitting on the rostrum.
On the huge steel deck, a solid wood competition platform was built. The platform was one meter high and ten meters wide. A podium, a notary platform, an audience platform, a betting platform, etc. were built near the platform, which was very thoughtfully arranged.
When Zhang Jun arrived, Zuo Tianlang was already there. He sat opposite him and looked over coldly, his eyes cold and sinister. There were many people standing behind him, including all six wolf generals. Zuo Tianlang sat next to him
A middle-aged man, with a chubby smile that resembled Maitreya Buddha, he was actually a master in the elixir realm. Zhang Jun knew that he must be Zuo Tianlang's master, Blood-Hand Maitreya, a giant who ranked thirteenth on the Earth Ranking.
Hua Buyi also arrived, and he sat on the side of Zhang Jun. As soon as the two of them met, Blood-Hand Maitreya smiled "haha", cupped his fists and saluted from a distance. His voice was not loud, but everyone present could hear him clearly, and said: "Brother Buyi,
Your disciple's strength is very ordinary. How can a small transformation master be my disciple's opponent?"
Hua Buyi also responded with a smile: "You won't know until you fight him whether he is your opponent or not. Brother Bloody Hand, your apprentice is already halfway to holding the elixir and has a bright future. He really shouldn't participate in this duel."
The meaning of his words is very obvious, your apprentice will definitely not be able to defeat my apprentice, and it is a pity that he was beaten to death today.
The bloody-handed Maitreya said "Haha" and said: "Brother Buyi, as you said, you won't know until you fight him. Let's wait and see!"
After a verbal exchange of words between the two masters of holding pills, they walked to the podium and sat down. Only masters of holding pills were qualified to occupy this position. At this point, the rest of the martial arts comrades sat down one after another, waiting for the battle to begin.
At this time, Shaolin Master Suji stepped onto the high platform, first announced the Buddha's name, and said: "Dear martial arts comrades and heroes, the Shaolin Temple is responsible for this competition, and the poor monk Suji is the host."
Hundreds of spectators fell silent and focused on the high platform.
Su Ji later announced the notary: "The notaries for this competition are as follows, Shaolin represents Zen Master Dekong, Wudang represents Taoist Master Iron Sword, Qingcheng represents Mr. Longcheng, and Emei represents Master Void..."
Su Ji announced a total of twelve notaries, all of whom were famous figures in the world, heroes of various factions, and had a high status in the world. Being able to invite these people also illustrates Shaolin's transcendent status in the martial arts world.
"Next, the two sides of the competition will sign a document of life and death. Please invite Zhang Jun and Zuo Tianlang to take the stage!" After Su Ji announced, Zhang Jun and Zuo Tianlang jumped onto the high platform from the left and right respectively and signed and stamped their signatures.
Su Ji put away the documents and said to the two of them respectively: "This competition is only about victory or defeat, regardless of the process. Hidden weapons and dirty hands can be used!" Then he proclaimed the Buddha's name and said, "Life is precious, I hope that the two donors will
Show mercy."
Next, there was a complicated ceremony, including killing chickens and drinking blood, placing incense and worshiping gods, etc. Half an hour later, the two finally stood face to face on the high platform, and the competition began!
On the rostrum, there are five masters of elixir holding, namely Hua Buyi, Tie Shou Maitreya, Zen Master Su Ji, Liu Zhenru, and Jiang Shan. Among them, Jiang Shan is the helper invited by Tie Shou Maitreya, and he is also an expert in elixir power.
It is extremely rare in history for five masters of the alchemy realm to appear in a competition. After all, the world is so big, and there are only dozens of masters holding alchemy, so the appearance of five at once seems unusual.
The main function of the appearance of the five "real immortals on land" is to calm the scene. If there is any chaos or commotion during the competition, they can respond quickly.
In addition, the twelve people at the notary's seat should not be underestimated. Eight of them are at the peak of their strength, and four have reached the half-step of holding the elixir. During the competition, if anyone dares to influence or do anything to interfere with the fairness of the competition,
If something happens, they will do their best to stop it.
In addition to the above two seats, there are also crouching tigers, hidden dragons in the stands. You must know that this competition attracted many martial arts masters, large and small financial groups from the two sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places, and even some boxers from South Asia and North America came from thousands of miles away.
These people don't want to reveal their identities.
