Going northeast from Jueshen Valley is the gambling city.
Wuxu originally wanted to go to Yichun as soon as possible. Shenqian sent a message and asked him to go and have a look. Wuxu was worried that he would be late and would not be able to see it. Maybe Yichun has a scene similar to Jueshen Valley, but he had to go.
I know. But when Wuxu stood outside the valley, he felt like the earth was shaking, and he was in a daze, as if he was just recovering from a serious illness. He didn't expect that just now in Jueshen Valley, traveling through time and space, and traveling to the future world, he actually spent so much spiritual consciousness.
Wuxu had no choice but to escape into the Dharma Realm of the Void again, sit cross-legged, and then try to communicate with the Haiyin Conch, slowly guiding the beliefs of the sentient beings in it, and visualized the appearance of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva to restore his consciousness. However, Wuxu is not in Yongzhou now, and he is not with Haiyin.
Yinluo's senses were a little weaker, but he couldn't be impatient. By the time his consciousness had recovered to 80% to 90%, I don't know how many days and nights had passed.
Wuxu came out of the Dharma Realm and looked towards the Jueshen Valley, feeling some thoughts again.
I am higher than Ren Zheng and Ren Fei, and my spiritual consciousness is much stronger. But when the two of them left, at least Ren Zheng was quite energetic. There may be something about the square magic weapon in it.
factors, but Wuxu’s intuition was that he should have encountered something unexpected, otherwise there would be almost no time for his consciousness to recover. Others’
The opportunity belongs to others, but I don't have much chance. At most, I have some inexplicable feelings and sadness. You must know that at the other end of the space-time tunnel, it is the world where I lived in my previous life. In Wuxu's heart, he couldn't help but remember Ren Zheng
This name, this person, I'm afraid I will meet again in the future, or I will hear about it again when he becomes famous.
Just as he was thinking about it, there were violent spiritual energy fluctuations and vague noises coming from the direction of the casino ahead. Immediately afterwards, two figures flew over quickly.
Wuxu took a closer look and saw that it was Ren Zheng and Ren Fei! At this moment, these two people looked a little embarrassed. Behind them was a group of monks with a fierce momentum and hot pursuit. Wuxu also recognized the leader.
The lord of the gambling city, Huo Dong.
This Huo Dong, Wuxu remembers, is a True Spirit cultivator and a native Xuanyin Star cultivator. How come he didn't ascend to the Heavenly Star Formation and instead stayed in the gambling city?
"Master Mingxu, leave quickly!" Ren Zheng, with a Chinese character, suddenly shouted to Wuxu, "These people are jealous of losing."
Suddenly, several hostile consciousnesses came toward Wuxu.
Wuxu shook his head and immediately replied, "This donor has recognized the wrong person. It's the young monk Miaoxu."
With just such a reply, Ren Zheng, Ren Fei, and Huo Dong and others behind them had all flown not far away.
Ren Zheng, Ren Fei, just like a familiar person, fly directly to Wuxu.
"It turns out there is support!" Huo Dong sneered, his expression uglier than crying. The more than ten monks behind him continued to speed up, surrounding Wuxu, Ren Zheng, and Ren Fei.
Unexpectedly, Huo Dong didn't even stay. He didn't know if he would recognize him... Wuxu stood there calmly, thinking quickly in his mind.
"If fellow Taoist can help me today, my brothers and I are willing to share all the millions of spiritual stones we won this time with fellow Taoist." Ren Zheng saw that Wuxu's face was a little ugly, so he hurriedly sent a message secretly.
One million spiritual stones?! Wu Xu was shocked. Now one million spiritual stones is a huge amount of spiritual resources. He never expected that Ren Zheng and his wife would win so much from the casino in a short period of time! No wonder Huo Huo
Dong, these people are all very angry.
With the appearance of the gambling city, I am afraid that the entire gambling city now only has a few million worth of property. But to win one million spiritual stones from a true spiritual monk like Huo Dong who relies on gambling, could Ren Zheng be like Li Linshan?
Are you a person of great luck?
Wuxu looked around. Among the monks in the gambling city who surrounded him, there were two acquaintances, Jia Ming and Wei Shang. They were leading three monks on one left and one on the right. There were many people, but they were all real people. If he took advantage of this,
Huo Dong was unprepared and sacrificed himself to the Dharma Realm. He should be 70-80% sure to take Ren Zheng and Ren Fei away. But in this case, his identity and whereabouts will inevitably be exposed. By then, I am afraid it will cause a lot of bigger troubles.
Just as they were thinking about this, Jia Ming, Wei Shang and others around them, under Huo Dong's signal, began to take action. Six rays of light of different colors turned into six huge claws in the air, and fired towards Wuxu and the others.
Come on, there are no blind spots, they echo each other, it is obviously a combination attack technique.
"Fellow Taoist, be careful! This is the six-pole soul-killing hand. It is extremely difficult to deal with and cannot be easily contaminated!" Ren Zheng reminded Wuxu while he and Ren Fei sacrificed the square magic weapon. A series of blue light curtains covered the two of them.
Covered. The two of them took this cover and continued to dodge. It was obvious that they were quite afraid of this so-called six-pole magic hand.
Wuxu secretly sacrificed himself to the Dharma Realm and quickly hid in the void, but did not take any action. He only watched from the sidelines in the Dharma Realm. Ren Zheng wanted to pull him to block the gun, but he could not easily do so.
As soon as Ren Zheng reminded Wuxu with "good intentions", he saw Wuxu disappear completely in an instant. He couldn't help but open his eyes wide with a look of disbelief.
Jia Ming, Wei Shang and others in the casino, including Huo Dong who was sitting on the side and commanding, also changed their expressions. Under their perception, Wuxu's aura completely disappeared, as if he had never appeared here before.
Soon, Huo Dong sneered and stretched out his hands like chicken feet. The five fingers were thin and long, gray and white, even the nails. On each finger, a trace of gray aura emerged and spread around.
Go. These gray auras floated in the air for a while and then dissipated like blue smoke, but there were more inexplicable things in the void around them.
Wuxu can clearly sense these things in the Void Dharma Realm. They are not spiritual energy, any fluctuations, nor any color or smell, and cannot be identified by the six senses. Wuxu just senses in his heart that there are more of these things in the darkness around him, and he has no idea about himself.
The legal world is obviously excluded.
Huo Dong also seemed to sense the location of Wuxu's Dharma Realm. With his fingers flying, those things in the dark were like octopus tentacles, quickly spreading out and trying to surround Wuxu's Dharma Realm.
What kind of magic is this? After Wuxu was shocked, he immediately sacrificed the image of Guanyin Bodhisattva in the Dharma Realm, held the willow tree in the Dharma, and recited the six-character mantra. In the sky, the light of the Buddha flashed, and Wuxu made the Dharma Realm fly out.
In this case, Wuxu had an idea and simply accelerated his speed and flew towards the casino.
Then Huo Dong came to his senses and secretly said something bad. He ordered Jia Ming, Wei Shang and others to quickly capture Ren Zheng and Ren Fei, while they also hurriedly flew back to the gambling city. But halfway through the flight, they suddenly stopped.
He stopped. His face was uncertain, and he stood there, focusing his consciousness on the gambling city and the place outside Jueshen Valley.
When Wuxu saw what he was doing, he continued to sneak and fly over the gambling city. This demonic realm was different from the Great Zhou Dynasty. The key areas of the city, the previous city protection formation restrictions, etc. were all still there. But if Wuxu wanted to enter, he would
It's a piece of cake.
Wuxu looked towards the Jueshen Valley. Ren Zheng and Ren Fei relied on their strange square magic weapons to survive the siege of Jia Ming, Wei Shang and others. They were not defeated and could still hold on for a while. So, they tried their best.
Converging the Dharma Realm, he flew silently past the gate of the gambling city, and then went straight to the city lord's mansion.
The City Lord's Mansion in the Casino looks like a splendid casino. Colored lights inspired by spiritual energy are everywhere above the City Lord's Mansion, spinning endlessly. The colorful lights are shining regardless of day or night.
At night, the entire casino is illuminated, reflecting various gambling and fighting scenes. This seems to have some secret purpose.
After Wuxu silently sensed these colored lights, he flew straight towards the place where the light converged. After a while, he came to the attic where the aura was most restricted.
Wuxu looked at it carefully, then continued forward, directly reaching the top floor of the attic.
In the middle, there sat an old man with his head hanging down, dressed in linen clothes, and his breath was not visible. The old man suddenly raised his head, opened his cloudy eyes, and looked towards the direction of Wuxu Dharma Realm, "Who are you? Do you still want to gamble?"
"
This old man's face is exactly the same as Huo Dong's, but his temperament is completely different.
Through the Dharma Realm, Wuxu deliberately said in a deep voice, "Amitabha! This young monk is not here to gamble, he is here to rob!"
As soon as Wuxu finished speaking, the old man's aura changed, and his eyes showed a trace of cruelty, "You dare to come here, then just stay!" It was as if he had changed into a different person.
This is the Huo Dong we met earlier! A clone? Or...?
Wuxu didn't have time to think about it and retreated quickly. However, Wuxu underestimated Huo Dong, or in other words, underestimated the city's protective formation. The more than a hundred colored lanterns in the city lord's mansion were all directed towards Wuxu's Dharma Realm.
When the light came on, Wuxu Dharma Realm immediately came to a standstill.
At this moment, Wuxu suddenly realized that outside the Jueshen Valley, Huo Dong had cast a spell that made it difficult to sense the six senses. What was the inexplicable thing in the dark? It was luck!
Gambling is about luck, and to a deeper level, luck. Those more than a hundred colored lanterns, which gather the luck of many gamblers, can fix Wuxu's Dharma Realm. This is something Wuxu never expected.
"Who are you?" Huo Dong opened the window, stood in the attic, faced the void, and asked with his spiritual consciousness. He tried all means, but it seemed that he could only keep Wuxu for the time being.
At this time, I don't know if Ren Zheng and Ren Fei have escaped? Or have they been captured? Wuxu only replied, "Amitabha. It's so good! The young monk Miaoxu has been wandering here, but he has been misunderstood repeatedly. Please, please
Lord City Lord, please give me a lesson."
Huo Dong squinted his eyes and said after a while, "How can I get advice? Since you have come up with this strategy to surround Wei and save Zhao, and I have returned to the city, why not make a bet on whether those two people can escape."
Hearing this, Wuxu's heart moved. What happened to Ren Zheng and Ren Fei? He met by chance and helped here, and he had a clear conscience. Following Huo Dong's suggestion, he could take the opportunity to test his own skills.
Luck. Whether it's accurate or not is another matter.
Huo Dong suddenly raised his hand, removed the rotating lanterns, flew out of the attic, and sat in the stone pavilion beside the flower garden in front, as if he was determined that Wuxu wanted to take a gamble.
Wuxu was still in the Dharma Realm and only sent out the message, "What is the specific gambling method?"
Huo Dong smiled. There were two wine glasses in the stone pavilion. He took one and took a sip casually. "What do you think, master?"
Wuxu thought for a while, "It's a small gamble. That's what happened just now. If those two people escape, City Lord Huo should answer the young monk's question truthfully."
To answer a question, this bet may seem innocuous, but it can actually be big or small.
Unexpectedly, Huo Dong did not ask further questions, and without thinking, he just said, "If the master loses, he must answer my question truthfully."
It's fair. But again, the problem can be big or small, and under uncertainty, it's another kind of gamble. But at this time, it's hard to regret it, so Wu Xu thought for a moment and agreed.
Huo Dong immediately let go of a corner of the city defense formation, and Wuxu's spiritual consciousness was released. The scene outside the city was clearly visible.
Ren Zheng indeed had some skills or luck. Seeing that Huo Dong left and never came back, he found an opportunity and put the spirit stone into the square magic weapon in his hand as if it was free of charge. He fired out a series of hexagonal crystal blue rays, cutting off
Jia Ming, Wei Shang and others' clutches flew away.
Jia Ming, Wei Shang and others followed closely, but after a while, they were stopped by Huo Dong's summons.
"Guangzhen City is just a small town. Baixinmen is just an unpopular sect. It's just that by chance, I became independent, but I didn't want to become more and more ambitious now, and even went around with imitation of the Heaven-defying Order.
.”
In the stone pavilion, Huo Dong spoke slowly. His words were strong, but his tone was light. It seemed that he didn't take Ren Zheng and Ren Fei seriously at all, and he was only making excuses after the bet with Wuxu.
It turns out that the square magic weapon is an imitation of the Heaven-defying Alliance's Heaven-defying Order. No wonder it is quite mysterious... Wuxu thought.
Then Huo Dong said slowly, "I wonder what question Master wants to ask?"
"City Lord Huo, you have been promoted to the True Spirit for a long time, why do you still stay below?" Wuxu asked this question.
This question is actually a big one. The reason why Wuxu asked this question may seem abrupt, but in fact it is based on his own inner thoughts. He is a Buddhist monk who respects cause and effect. If he can break the common karma, he can avoid it.
Then avoid, for example, old acquaintances such as Zhu Yuanzhang, Duoji, Xuan Jizi, etc., who never contact each other if nothing happens. But this time, he disguised himself and sneaked into the devil.
domain, went to Yichun, but on the way he met Huo Dong, whom he had never seen before, and his identity seemed to be guessed. When Huo Dong chased him back to the gambling city, he kept him but did not fight, but gambled
Asking a question was obviously a conspiracy, and Wu Xu felt even more so, so he threw out the questions that had been lingering in his mind during this period.
Huo Dong was silent for a while. At some point, the old man in sackcloth who was in the attic earlier also appeared in the stone pavilion. He stood tremblingly, his cloudy eyes following Huo Dong's voice and looking directly at him.
Look in the direction of Wuxu Dharma Realm.
"The Xuanyin Reform, and even the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Six Sects all went up to the Heavenly Star Formation, all due to the dispute between the three stars in the sky. I didn't go up there. Firstly, there was no corresponding position on it. Secondly, it was because I was like a master.
, from the human world.”
This passage sounded okay at first, but by the last sentence, it was earth-shattering!
Huo Dong is also from the human world?! He even guessed his identity.
Wuxu couldn't help but come out of the Dharma Realm, stared at Huo Dong for a moment, and then asked, "Why are monks from the so-called human world not allowed to enter?"
Wuxu himself had thought about this issue before, assuming it was because monks who did not come from the human world were inferior to others. Apart from that, Wuxu really couldn't think of any other explanation. Now, he couldn't help but ask again.
Huo Dong looked at Wuxu and smiled slyly, "This issue is not part of the gambling game. Master, why don't you show up in the pavilion and talk to each other."
Wuxu flew into the stone pavilion, sat down, and looked at Huo Dong and the old man in sackcloth who had exactly the same face as him.
"Unexpectedly, City Lord Huo is also a monk from the human world?" Wuxu couldn't tell even if he looked horizontally and vertically. This Huo Dong has been famous for hundreds of years and has been the Lord of the Casino. Even if it is extremely subtle, he will
There is no place, and it is impossible to tell that he comes from the human world.
"How does the master want me to prove it?" Huo Dong raised his wine glass and looked towards the Jueshen Valley, "Only monks from the human world can enter that strange world by entering the Jueshen Valley. I also entered the Jueshen Valley back then.
What I saw and heard in the valley was strange and strange, so I realized something and created this gambling city."
So that's it. Then Ren Zheng and Ren Fei are also monks from the human world? Wuxu's heart moved, and then he didn't expect that this Huo Dong would actually have an encounter in Jueshen Valley. Wuxu just felt a little complacent because he won the bet, and in an instant
It turned into nothing. I didn't have any encounters in the Jueshen Valley. The so-called bizarre world was really familiar to Wuxu. Naturally, it would be difficult to have any insights or encounters with things that were familiar to me.
"I wonder, what insights did City Lord Huo have as soon as he entered the Jueshen Valley?" Wuxu raised his wine glass and took a sip, "But the young monk does not have such understanding. At first glance, his heart is up and down, but when he takes a closer look, he just feels
But the roads are wider, the buildings are taller, and the lights are brighter at night."
As soon as Wuxu's words came out of his mouth, he realized that he had made a mistake. How could he express his feelings to others easily? His own inquiry not only yielded no results, but also exposed his own private secrets.
Huo Dong gave Wuxu an enigmatic smile and changed the topic, "The three masters previously made a big fuss in Duobao Pavilion in my gambling city and left. They went to Jueshen Valley at that time, right?
"
How did he know about this? At that time, Wuxu, Zhu Yuanzhang, and Li Mingshan left the gambling city and accidentally entered the Jueshen Valley. However, they were quickly captured by a Tongxuan master who used his great magical power.
Then it was sent directly to the outside of Yongzhou City.
Wuxu didn't answer, he just looked at Huo Dong steadily.
I only heard Huo Dong say again, "Master was originally guarding one side in Yongzhou, but now he has concealed his identity and sneaked into the Demon Realm. There must be something important. Huo also has some acquaintances in the Demon Realm. Sometimes, we may be able to help each other."
Do you want to make a deal with me and discuss cooperation?
Wuxu asked calmly with no expression on his face, "But I don't know what City Lord Huo needs?"
"The Jueshen Valley contains great terrors and great opportunities." Under Wuxu's gaze, Huo Dong said directly without being pretentious, "I want to join forces with the master to go in again."
It was like this again. Wuxu refused directly, got up and left.
Huo Dong also stood up, but no movement was seen. All he saw was that the rotating lanterns that had been scattered flew back again, "I made a big fuss in Duobao Pavilion earlier, and today I secretly helped Ren Zheng who came to make trouble."
Between the two of you, does Master Wuxu really think that the gambling city is like a deserted place?!"
Speaking of which, it seems a little unreasonable. But Wuxu is more curious. This Huo Dong is not like Ren Zheng and Ren Fei. He has been to Jueshen Valley and entered that world. He should know that entering
After that, no matter how high your cultivation level is, it won't be of any use, because you don't have a trace of spiritual energy, and you can only be a bystander. Why do you have to drag yourself along?
Huo Dong, seeing Wuxu standing there without speaking, his face gradually became gloomy. His right hand sleeve automatically flew out a jade pendant, half the size of a palm, with a simple style and a trace of grape purple luster from the inside to the outside.
When Wuxu saw this, he naturally quickly entered the Dharma Realm and was ready.
"Start!" Huo Dong said in his mouth, and pointed at the jade pendant like a sword at the same time. The light of the jade pendant increased greatly, and the rotating lanterns all over the sky, like a kaleidoscope, reflected various gambling scenes in the casino. These scenes
, and with this jade pendant as the axis, it is spliced into a large picture, as if it is the entire
Panoramic view of the casino. There are all kinds of beings in it, some are ferocious, some are gloomy, some are full of surprise, some have eyes wide and bloodshot, but they have one common feature, there are traces of gray aura above their heads, flying out continuously,
Blessed by the jade pendant, they all came towards the Wuxu Dharma Realm.
The Dharma Realm couldn't stop it. These gray auras poured in directly and attached to the image of Guanshiyin Bodhisattva visualized by Wuxu, devouring and corroding it.
These gray auras are not only caused by the evil thoughts of living beings, but also mixed with some of the luck of living beings, which is indeed extremely powerful!
"If you don't drink a toast, you'll have to drink a fine drink! I, the Hunyuan Great Destroyer, specializes in destroying incense methods like yours!" Huo Dong stood in the sky, wielding the jade pendant, and shouted sadly.
Wuxu didn't answer, and while he was sensing and contacting the Shanghai Sound Conch, he was continuously attracting the faith of sentient beings, supplementing and maintaining the Bodhisattva's Dharma in the Dharma Realm, while carefully observing these gray auras, and thinking about countermeasures.
But soon, Wuxu discovered that the evil thoughts of all living beings were mixed with luck, and there was really no way to control them. They could not be extinguished, they could not be transcended, and even the Xuanyang stone beads could not be burned, and the Xingyun Bamboo Sword could not be burned.
It cannot be broken, of course, due to Wuxu’s own cultivation level.
"I have hundreds of years of experience in gambling, let's see how long you can last?!" Outside, Huo Dong shouted again, without the demeanor of a true spiritual monk at all, more like a red-eyed gambler. Maybe, in this way, he can
Use all the power of the Hunyuan Great Destruction Hand.
Those gray auras that subsequently poured into the Dharma Realm became more vivid and transformed into various grotesque forms, whether alive or inanimate, like a demonic army, besieging them crazily. Fortunately, Haiyinluo, the Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva's dojo, is here.
Wuxu can still resist.
Wuxu and Huo Dong were engaged in a war of attrition, just like two masters in martial arts novels, competing against each other's internal strength without even a hint of trickery.
As time went by, Huo Dong's face became increasingly grim. The Dharma in Wuxu's Dharma Realm had always remained standing, but on his side, the luck he had worked so hard to collect for hundreds of years had dropped sharply, just like water splashing.
.
This is the foundation of the casino! It is also the basis for his future practice!
Finally, Huo Dong took the initiative to put away the jade pendant and stopped attacking Wuxu Dharma Realm.
After realizing the truth, he took advantage of the situation and counterattacked. In the Dharma Realm, he condensed the beliefs of all sentient beings into nectar in a bottle, Dharma Holding Willow, and sprinkled it outside the Dharma Realm, flying towards Huo Dong and those rotating lanterns like a heavy rain.
The entire gambling city suddenly let out bursts of screams and roars, which were transmitted directly to the city lord's palace. There were many monks who, at this moment, miraculously defeated the casino dealer.
Huo Dong stood there with a livid face. He didn't know whether he felt sorry for the luck he had finally collected or the spiritual resources he had lost at this moment. You must know that the entire casino in the gambling city belongs to the city lord's mansion.
"Amitabha!" Wuxu appeared with his palms clasped and said with a double entendre, "What you call gambling and luck, in fact, there is karma and retribution."
"Master, stay!" Huo Dong, seeing Wuxu about to leave, hurriedly shouted, "I have a big secret to tell you, Master."
When Wuxu stopped, Huo Dong's expression suddenly changed, but he first made some excuses, "When I first entered Jueshen Valley, I looked at the strange world and saw that the people in it had no practice, their life span was short, but they were independent and free, and they didn't believe in reincarnation.
, do not believe in karma and retribution, only believe in man's determination to defeat heaven, strive for luck in this life, and want to change destiny against heaven. Where there are obstacles, each makes his own choices, and expecting chance in certain places is really gambling on luck."
Wuxu listened thoughtfully.
The scenery of life is like the waves of the sea.
It seems like you are free to make choices, but you just go with the flow.
Without practice or fear, I just know how to work hard with my hands.
I have no choice but to play mahjong for a few rounds tonight.
