Chapter 168 Blood is as light as water (big chapter)
Youyan said that the hidden strength of the branch of Mo Mei Gambling House in Xifan can definitely be ranked among the top ten in Xifan.
In fact, it is stronger than Qianqiu Mountain, which is ranked tenth!
Their gambling skills are also very evil, which may be related to the ancient God of Gamblers.
After chatting with You Yan for a while, Luo Ning made some preparations and returned directly to Longcuo City.
He is the lord of Longcuo City, but Momei Gambling House is doing things under his nose.
Can't bear it!
…
Longcuo City covers an area of ten miles. Although it has declined long ago, it still has a population of 50,000 to 60,000 people.
Most of the people in the city are small businessmen and small proprietors who are more prosperous than serfs.
Coupled with the tens of thousands of floating people who enter the city every day, it is still somewhat prosperous and all industries are prosperous.
The most prosperous commercial street in the city is Qingyun Street next to the City Lord's Palace. There are brothels, brothels, restaurants, banks and gambling houses... they are all there.
The largest gambling house on Qingyun Street is Mo Mei Gambling House.
Luo Ning is Yun Fuyao at this time. He has a bird pattern on his face and a feather crown on his head. At first glance, he looks like a mountain demon cultivator.
The bird pattern facial makeup painted by Lingdao's magical power completely covered up Luo Ning's appearance. No one knew that he was the Lord of Luo City, and they all gave in when they saw him.
It’s not that there aren’t any demon cultivators who come to Longcuo City, the people in the city are generally afraid to avoid them.
Luo Ning looked at the black plum blossom pattern on the flag banner at the entrance of the casino, and his red and phoenix eyes were even colder.
"Humph, Mo Mei Gambling House..."
The snow is falling heavily, and the weather is already very cold. But the entrance of Momei Gambling House is still crowded with people and very lively.
But if you are a thoughtful person, you will find a problem.
There are fewer people going out than coming in.
It's as if this gambling den is a den that devours people.
The big boss behind the Mo Mei Gambling House is the King of Shu, but since he is doing business in the territory of the Tubo people, he must have connections with local high-level officials.
According to You Yan, big figures such as the Jiedushi envoy would have a share of the profits from this branch.
In fact, it is a dark force in Longcuo City.
Luo Ning thought about the information given by You Yan and walked in with confidence.
There is a unique cave in Momei Gambling House. It is unremarkable from the outside, but it is like a maze inside, covering an area of at least ten acres. Not only is it noisy with people, but there is also an underground floor.
The huge casino is divided into pigeon cage-like gaming rooms.
Bet on Pai Gow, bet on horses, bet on horsetails, bet on locusts... you can also directly roll the dice to compare the size.
It looks ordinary, but every gambling equipment in the gambling room is a magical weapon, and it is absolutely impossible to cheat.
There is also a monitoring array to monitor the pig slaves.
The place is very popular. The vegetable market is usually bustling with people, and there are thousands of pig herders. There are hundreds of croupiers in the gambling house alone.
Luo Ning doesn't like gambling and is certainly not a pig herder. This is his first time in a casino.
But he also knew that the casino on the top floor was the most common gambling game, and the customers were all ordinary people.
"Senior, what do you want to play?"
A ninth-grade monk who looked like a prisoner came to Luo Ning and bowed his hands.
Obviously, he didn't dare to neglect Luo Ning, a seventh-level demon cultivator.
Luo Ning swept his consciousness and found a step deep into the ground.
"I heard that in addition to gambling on money and goods, there is also gambling on people, souls, longevity, and diseases... Is that true?"
The Ninth Grade Supervisor smiled slightly, "That's right. What do you want to bet on, senior?"
"Guess what I will bet on?" Luo Ning said calmly.
The jailer's smile did not change, "Senior is a seventh-grade master. Of course he won't gamble on people, souls, illnesses, or longevity. He should be gambling on money and things."
When gambling on people, if you win, you can bet on them, if you lose, you can become a slave.
Gambling on souls, if you win, you will get a soul sacrifice, which will increase the probability of becoming a ghost after death. If you lose, you will have a soul extracted.
Betting on longevity, if you win, you can increase your life span by up to ten years, and if you lose, you can decrease your life span by up to ten years.
Gambling disease, if you win, you will not get sick for ten years, but if you lose... other people's diseases will be transferred to yourself.
Although it is very evil and I don’t know how it is done, it seems fair.
Ke Luoning knows very well, how can there be real fairness in a casino?
If he hadn't learned a lot about You Yan and already had countermeasures and arrangements, Luo Ning would not have dared to gamble.
Gambling kills people.
"You are wrong, I just bet on others." Luo Ning smiled, "I just bet on myself."
"Senior...are you sure you want to bet on yourself?" Although the supervisor was a little surprised, it was not surprising.
This kind of monk with unknown origin came to gamble on him, either to redeem an important person, or to ruin the situation.
Luo Ning nodded, "I'm sure to bet on myself."
"Then...who does the senior want?" The supervisor took out a roster, "This is a list that we can use as bargaining chips. Not only are there people, but there are also monsters and monsters."
"Senior is a seventh-grade monk, which can be counted as three eighth-grade monks, or nine ninth-grade monks, or thirty ordinary people..."
Luo Ning glanced at it and saw a dense list of names, perhaps thousands of them.
The vast majority are ordinary people.
Sure enough, many familiar names appeared on this list.
Bai Ke, Bai Yuanyuan, Hu Xiaofeng, Lang Gao, Lu Fuxing, Yang Tailai, Liu Meimei, Wu Hongji, Xie Yuhuan, Zhu Qingsi...
More than two hundred demon cultivators are actually on top.
Sure enough, there it is!
While Luo Ning secretly breathed a sigh of relief, he also sneered thoughtfully in his heart.
hehe…
Luo Ning clicked on the list of these demon cultivators, "My bet chips are these two hundred and thirty-eight demon cultivators!"
What?
The jailer looked stunned.
Then he showed a professional smile and said, "Senior Haojiao knows, these two hundred demon cultivators... how can senior alone exchange so many chips?"
At this time, he was sure that this demon cultivator was here to cause trouble.
Luo Ning sneered: "Stop being so verbose, just go and tell our shop owner that I want to bet more than two hundred demon cultivators and 300,000 taels of gold!"
Qianqiu Mountain's public treasury resources are worth almost three hundred thousand gold.
Resources that have been emptied by the other party must of course be taken into account.
The prisoner of the ninth-level cultivation was just a small person. Hearing that there was something wrong in Luo Ning's words and that the person who came was evil, he quickly went to the underground level to report it.
There are three floors underground.
He entered the bottom floor and came to the deepest place outside a monastery with a huge dice pattern painted on it. He said cautiously and respectfully:
"Let me report to the Master, a seventh-grade demon cultivator came from outside. I don't know what kind of bird he is. He actually wants to bet more than two hundred demon cultivators, plus three hundred thousand taels of gold..."
A woman's voice came: "Oh, really?"
Then his tone changed and he seemed to be talking to another person:
"Little Master, the Master of Qianqiu Mountain is finally here."
Her voice was very pleasant, with a hint of flattery, "The young master is really smart. Today, my subordinate personally took action and defeated him, and the matter is complete."
A young child's voice laughed: "He Niang, don't lose."
Judging from his voice, he must be less than ten years old.
"Giggles... The young master is joking, how can that be possible?" He Niang said, "Let alone Longcuo City, even in this Xifan County, it is probably difficult to find someone who can beat your subordinates in gambling."
Then, her tone changed again, and this time she spoke to the supervisor: "Tell that demon cultivator that I promised to make a bet with him and bring him here."
"Yes, Master!" The supervisor didn't know why the Master agreed, nor did he know who the noble young master in the monastery was.
After receiving the order, he quickly returned to the casino at the top.
"Senior, my boss has agreed, please invite me!"
Luo Ning sneered and followed him leisurely.
After going down three floors, we followed the prison to a gorgeous monastery.
Luo Ning took a look and saw that this monastery also had a high-level protective formation.
"Let me know, Master, the guests have arrived."
"Please come in."
Immediately, a white light flashed and the heavy door opened with a click.
Luo Ning entered boldly and saw a quiet one-acre pool filled with spiritual energy. In the middle of the pool, there was an island-like pavilion.
There are three people sitting in the pavilion.
The first thing that caught his attention was a middle-aged man in a green robe with a perfect sixth grade. This man had a sickly face and a haggard appearance, but he had a strong aura.
Then there is a beautiful woman in her mid-twenties, who seems to have a friendly smile at first glance, and whose cultivation level is already at the early stage of the sixth level.
Of course he knew who the boss of these two people was.
The third one turned out to be a boy.
He has pink make-up and is at most nine years old. He is still a young boy, but he is dressed very luxuriously.
No, it should be that you are dignified.
Although he is immature, he is already a ninth-grade monk. The expression on his little face is not as innocent as a boy should be, but instead looks a bit gloomy and cunning.
At first glance, he looks like the kind of precocious melon that looks like a kid.
This child is sitting in the middle and is actually the highest status person among the three.
But it is obvious that he is the youngest and has the lowest cultivation level.
When Luo Ning saw this child, he was immediately surprised.
He really looks like Luo Jishi, his biological father Luo An!
It's also a bit similar to myself, Luo Li!
Even this child's aura is somewhat similar to mine.
Thinking that the big boss behind this gambling house was the King of Shu, Luo Ning suddenly felt enlightened.
The child's age is also suitable.
He should be the son of Luo An and the princess, and the grandson of the King of Shu!
No, he should be the grandson of the King of Shu. Because Luo An married into the Prince of Shu's palace.
So by blood, he is a half-brother?
Fortunately, he now has the Bird Pattern Mask and Ling Daozhu's Yun Jiuzhen, otherwise he would definitely be able to guess his identity.
Regarding this half-brother, Luo Ning didn't have any emotional fluctuations in his heart.
They are completely unrelated strangers, even enemies.
Blood is as light as water!
Luo Ning glanced at it and then looked away, his expression calm.
"I've met two seniors in Yun Fuyao." Luo Ning could only salute the man in green robe and the beautiful woman.
There is no way, who can tell others to have high cultivation level?
However, his attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, and there was no hint of condescension.
"Are you the Lord of Qianqiu Mountain?" the boy asked with his little face raised, "What kind of bird are you? A peacock? An eagle?"
Luo Ning ignored him at all, but looked at the man in green and the beautiful woman, and said knowingly:
"Who is the boss of the two seniors?"
The man in green said coldly: "You'd better answer my little master's question first. His question just now was, what kind of bird are you?"
But the beautiful woman smiled, and she flipped up her hair in a charming way, "I am the owner of the gambling house. I can bet with you. The demon cultivators you want are all won by me, and they are locked up in the gambling house.
In the dungeon."
"However, before you start betting, you should politely answer my questions."
She has a beautiful smile, is very warm, and speaks very softly.
Luo Ning suppressed the anger in his heart and said, "I am Dapeng."
"It turns out to be a Dapeng, I guess." The boy suddenly smiled, "Monsters with Dapeng bloodline are very rare in this world."
"Yes, with your bloodline, you are indeed qualified to be their demon master."
His tone was old-fashioned, not like a child at all.
At this point, he suddenly became lazy and said, "Mother He, please continue, I'm a little sleepy."
He Niang smiled and said: "Let's just tell the truth, you can't beat me."
"We have been waiting for you, the master of Qianqiu Mountain, to appear for a month."
"Now that you're here, you have only two choices. First, according to the rules of our gambling house, if you beat me, you can take the people and things and leave."
"Second, you lose yourself and become a slave of Mo Mei Gambling House."
Luo Ning chuckled, "May I ask the boss, do you have a third choice?"
I thought to myself: "It is indeed a trap that attracted me."
"Yes." The man in green robe said, "You refuse to gamble and choose to resist with force, and then you will be restrained or die."
Luo Ning's expression remained unchanged, "Why do you want me to be a slave? Can I do something for you?"
He Niang nodded, "Yun Fuyao, you are indeed a smart person. Yes, we do need a demon cultivator with a valuable enough demon aura to complete a task."
"This demon cultivator must not only be demonic and noble, but also young and handsome. He must also be a man. Alas, this is not easy to find."
"Fortunately, we were lucky enough to find out about Yun Fuyao. After getting to know you, I feel that you are indeed a good match."
"But to complete this task, you need to be very reliable and obedient. Since you become our slave, you will naturally be reliable and obedient."
Luo Ning raised his eyebrows, "I want to know, what kind of task does a person like me have to be responsible for?"
"You ask too many questions." The croupier's eyes turned cold, his smile disappeared like a magic trick, and his face changed very quickly, "You will naturally know the mission if you become a slave."
"Okay, let's get started."
"Pai Gow, Ai Pu, throw dice, you choose any one, the outcome will be decided in three games."
Luo Ning said: "What if I win?"
He Niang looked solemn and said, "I am willing to admit defeat. This is a great rule. If you really win, you will take away everyone and everything."
Luo Ning suddenly sneered, "I can't bet with you, but I also want to take all the people and resources back. I also want you to compensate me for my mental losses."
"I'm not here to bet with you today, I'm here to punish you!"
"Even if I win the bet, I can't get rid of this feeling. Why do you go to Qianqiu Mountain to run wild?"
"Um?!"
What? He Niang and the man in green were stunned when they heard Luo Ning's words.
Raise an army to accuse? How dare he?
What kind of compensation is there for...mental losses?
How dare a seventh-level demon cultivator dare to act so arrogantly here? Where does he think this is?
"Haha!" The boy suddenly laughed, "Interesting! Interesting! Yun Fuyao, I admire your courage!"
"Aren't you afraid of death? Don't you know that you can't go out today?"
"Really?" Luo Ning sneered, "I can't get out, do you think you can get out of Longcuo City?"
"I have asked the Lord of Longcuo City, friends from Xia Chanhui, and friends from Green Forest for help."
He pointed outside, "Now outside the gambling house, there are already three hundred Tubo knights, as well as experts from the Xia Chan Society, and a group of Green Forest monks."
"Once the three hundred elite cavalry come in, can they slaughter your gambling house?"
At this moment, several prison guards suddenly came to report in a panic:
"Master! Hundreds of Tubo warriors are coming outside, as well as a large group of monks, including two fifth-level masters. They want to come in to hunt down the fugitives."
Luo Ning smiled and said, "Did you hear that? If I can't get out of here, don't even think about getting out."
"The Lord of Longcuo City is my good friend, and he is the master of this place."
He looked at the boy and said, "If there is something wrong with this distinguished young guest, it will be hard for you, the boss, to explain it to you, right?"
He Niang's expression suddenly changed.
Lord Longcuo's three hundred Tubo knights are all equipped with demon horses, and their combat power is equivalent to that of a great master in the early stage of the fourth rank!
Coupled with two fifth-grade masters and a group of monks, our side has no chance of winning!
The key is, if something happens to the little master...
But the boy suddenly laughed again.
"Lord of Longcuo City? Hahaha!"
"Yun Fuyao, do you know who the Lord of Longcuo City, Luo Ning, is? He is actually my brother!"
"Who do you think the Lord of Longcuo City will help? Help you, an outsider, or help me, my brother?"
PS: It’s too late, sorry, Crab, good night! I’m very uncomfortable today, ugh.
