The red gauze curtain parted only a little. This position.
Only Xie Lian could see the person behind the scenes.
The other ghosts in the hall were blocked by his body, so they couldn't see him. Of course, they didn't dare to look around. The left eye stared at Xie Lian, and Xie Lian stared back at him.
He was slightly entranced.
Hua Cheng's appearance.
Not only did he look a few years older,
He had also grown taller. In the past, when Xie Lian looked at him, he could barely look him in the eye.
Look at him now.
He had to raise his head high.
After staring at each other for a while, Hua Cheng slowly opened his mouth.
He said in a low voice, "You want to compete with me.
It's still smaller than you. "
The voice was deep and melodious.
Xie Lian finally came back to his senses. In any case, it was all the same whether it was big or small, there was no difference.
Thus, he answered, "Older."
Hua Cheng said, "Alright. I'll go first. "
Xie Lian's left hand held the chassis of the black wooden gambling cup.
His right hand pressed on the round lid of the cup. Hua Cheng stood in front of him, his right hand covering his left.
It swayed slightly.
Then, he opened the cup. There were two dice on the chassis.
One was six, and the other was five.
Lang Qianqiu, who was hovering above, could see it clearly. When he saw how big it was with just a shake, he couldn't help but widen his eyes. He asked in astonishment, "How could this be?"
Hua Cheng slightly loosened his grip and said to Xie Lian, "Try shaking it like this."
Xie Lian imitated him and shook it twice. However, Hua Cheng said, "That's not right."
Although she was saying that Xie Lian was in the wrong, her tone was extremely gentle and patient. As he spoke, Hua Cheng once again propped up Xie Lian's lower hand. His left hand also stretched out, covering Xie Lian's right hand that was pressing down on the lid. In a low voice, he said, "It's like this."
As such, the backs of Xie Lian's hands were covered by Hua Cheng's palms.
When their skin touched, it was as cool as jade. That pair of gorgeous and exquisite silver wristguards, on the other hand, were as cold as iron. However, Hua Cheng's movements seemed to be very careful, not letting them touch Xie Lian. Both of his hands were holding Xie Lian's hands as he leisurely shook the black wooden gambling cup.
Once, twice, thrice.
Dang dang, dang dang, dang dang.
The two dice rolled around in the black wooden cup, colliding with each other and producing a crisp sound. It was only such a weak vibration, but it caused Xie Lian's palm and the back of his hand to feel slightly numb. This trace of numbness crawled up his wrist and spread out.
As he shook it, Xie Lian inadvertently raised his eyes and glanced around. He discovered that Hua Cheng wasn't even looking at the gambling cup. Instead, he was staring at him without blinking. Xie Lian's lips curled up slightly. Xie Lian couldn't help but smile at him, but then he remembered that there were still many people watching from above and below. He immediately retracted his smile and lowered his head to earnestly study Hua Cheng's hand gestures. "Like this?"
The smile on the corners of Hua Cheng's mouth grew deeper as he said, "Yes. Yes, that's it. "
Seeing that Xie Lian was full of hope, he said, "Should we open it and take a look?"
Xie Lian opened it and saw that there were two white and white dice on the chassis. They were two three dots.
Two "threes" was already an unprecedented and astonishing result. Xie Lian felt as if a spring breeze had brushed past his heart. He thought to himself, "Could it be that I've really grasped the knack?"
However, even if the result was astonishing, six points was still smaller than eleven points. He coughed softly and said, "I'm sorry, I lost."
However, Hua Cheng said, "It doesn't matter, this round doesn't count. I'm teaching you now, again. "
When this sentence was said, both Lang Qianqiu and Shi Qingxuan were dumbfounded. The ghosts in the hall were even more dumbfounded, and they all started to mutter:
"What's wrong with the City Lord? I thought that the City Lord was giving him a good impression, but in the end, he was really teaching him? "
"How can this round not count? You can even play like this? "
"If this one doesn't count, then when will it count?"
"It seems that the City Lord is really in a good mood today …"
Hua Cheng raised his left eyebrow, and the lady outside immediately said, "Everyone, please quiet down."
The hall instantly quietened down again. Although they did not speak, their gazes became even more unbridled. Hua Cheng smiled and encouraged him gently in his ear, "Again?"
Perhaps it was because there were too many people in the gambling den, Xie Lian inexplicably felt a layer of heat on his cheeks, and said, "Okay."
Rumble, rumble, he shook it again. This time, when he opened it, it was actually two four points.
Hua Cheng said, "How is it, isn't it a little bigger?"
Although he felt that something was wrong, Xie Lian still nodded and said, "Yes … it's a little bigger."
Hua Cheng said, "Well done, continue."
He was so patient and patient, but for some reason, there were many ambiguous chuckles coming from all around. From the sounds, it seemed that they were all female ghosts. Xie Lian also could not figure out what posture was the correct one. At first, he was still studying how to place Hua Cheng's hands, and how to grasp the speed, but now he was just letting Hua Cheng lead him and randomly shaking it. As he shook, a thought became stronger and stronger. Xie Lian thought to himself, "Could it be that San Lang is coaxing me …"
And Lang Qianqiu had been watching from above, and probably felt the same as him. He could not help but say, "You, stop shaking it. He is obviously lying to you, how can there be a correct posture? He must have cheated! "
He shouted so loudly that Shi Qingxuan covered his face again.
The ghosts below booed loudly, and a rain of dice was thrown at Lang Qianqiu. They all shouted, "Ignorant child, don't speak!"
"What are you shouting for, everyone is watching the exciting part!"
"That Daoist is doing it according to our city bishop's posture, and the results are getting bigger and bigger every time, that is the truth!"
"That's right! What do you know! "
Lang Qianqiu said angrily, "You, you bunch of liars … Ah!!"
He suddenly stopped talking, and his face turned red. It turned out that a few female ghosts below fiercely tugged at his dangling belt and scolded, "Little brother, don't make any more noise. If you continue to talk nonsense, the big sisters will pull your pants off!"
Lang Qianqiu had never been threatened like this before, and he was so angry that he could not speak, "You … You!"
It would be fine if he was only beaten up by a group of ghosts, but if his pants were really pulled off, as a dignified martial god, he would lose a lot of face. At that moment, Lang Qianqiu did not dare to say anymore. Xie Lian raised his head and saw that he was desperately looking at him. He found it funny and pitiful. He could only lower his head and whisper to Hua Cheng, "… San Lang."
Hearing him shout like this, Hua Cheng smiled and said, "Don't worry about him. Let's continue. "
"…"
Xie Lian was helpless. He held the gambling cup and shook it twice. As expected, this time, he shook out two fives.
Seeing this, the ghosts were even more amused, and they teased Lang Qianqiu even more crazily, saying, "See? It's getting bigger and bigger! "
And Xie Lian had long realized that Hua Cheng was playing with him. He did not know whether to laugh or cry, thinking that there was no such thing as a correct posture in this world. For a person like him, any posture was wrong. From now on, he could completely give up on any thoughts of changing his luck. Just as he was about to give up and shake the last time, Hua Cheng said, "Wait a minute."
Xie Lian felt that his palm on him was pressing down a little harder, and he stopped and said, "What's wrong?"
Hua Cheng said half-truthfully, "This brother, I don't think you've said it yet. If you lose, what will you do?"
Hearing him call Xie Lian "brother", Shi Qingxuan and Lang Qianqiu's expressions were really indescribable. The group of ghosts also felt their hair stand on end, and a few of them were so scared that their heads fell to the ground.
Speaking of which, it was embarrassing. Just now, in a hurry, Xie Lian really did not think about the problem of the bet. He said, "This …"
He originally wanted to bet ten years of his lifespan, but the lifespan of a Divine Officer was too long. Ten years was probably nothing at all. Money and treasures? No way. Magic power and spiritual power? No way. For a moment, Xie Lian could not think of anything that could be bet, so he could only ask the owner of the gambling house. He said, "What do you think I have on me that is worth betting?"
Hearing this, Hua Cheng laughed.
He said, "I don't care. What did you bring on you? "
Xie Lian thought for a moment, coughed lightly, and said honestly, "I … this time, I only brought an unfinished steamed bun with me."
Hearing this, Hua Cheng burst out laughing. He laughed, but the others wanted to laugh but did not dare to.
After laughing, Hua Cheng nodded and said, "Okay. That steamed bun. "
When these words came out, not only the group of ghosts, but even the girls in charge of the gambling table were shocked.
Since the opening of this gambling house, there had been countless kinds of incredible bets. There were internal organs, lifespan, emotions, and abilities. However, no bet was as incredible as today's: an unfinished steamed bun. Even Lang Qianqiu could not help but say in shock, "This … what do you mean? You mean that I … I'm only worth an unfinished steamed bun??? "
The group of ghosts laughed, and someone shouted, "What's wrong with a steamed bun? You're lucky, hurry up and shut up! "Xie Lian heard that the voice of this collapse belonged to Shi Qingxuan, who was hiding in the group of ghosts. Just as he was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, Hua Cheng said to him, "Come. This is the last round, don't be nervous. "
Xie Lian said, "I'm not nervous."
The two of them still maintained the posture of their palms covering the back of their hands as they shook a few times. Although Xie Lian indeed wasn't nervous, the palm of his hand that was pressed against the gambling cup and the back of his hand that was pressed against Hua Cheng's seemed to be dripping with a faint layer of sweat. Finally, the two of them stopped moving. It was time to reveal the winner. He took a light breath and opened it to take a look — —
Two dice, two sixes!
Xie Lian let out a sigh of relief. In his heart, he knew what was going on, so he raised his eyes to look at Hua Cheng. Hua Cheng raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh, I lost."
Although he said he admitted defeat in a serious manner, there was no sincerity in it. The crowd of ghosts in the hall was also silent.
Just now, there were still people muttering, "If this round doesn't count, then when will it count?" Now, the answer was out: it would only count when this person won.
Wasn't this throwing the match a little too deranged?
However, no one would say anything about this. The girl took the black wooden gambling cup and raised it up high. She said, "Congratulations, young master. This round, you win."
Everyone gave him face and one after another shouted, "Even if the City Lord lost, he lost perfectly! Beautiful! "
"Wasn't the person who won taught by the City Lord? Even if he won, it was also because the City Lord taught him well!"
"That's right! Today was really an eye-opener. I learned the correct way to shake the dice! I benefited a lot! I won't be able to finish it even after ten years! "
Listening to the sound of demons dancing around him, Xie Lian couldn't help but laugh. Seeing him smile, Hua Cheng also smiled and adjusted the red gauze ribbon. At this time, Lang Qianqiu said from above, "Since you lost, you should let me down!"
Hua Cheng still stared at Xie Lian, his smile unchanged. He didn't even raise his eyes. He just raised his hand and casually waved it. Lang Qianqiu immediately smashed down heavily. That loud sound made Xie Lian's eyes twitch. Shi Qingxuan couldn't be exposed, so he couldn't rush over. Thus, Xie Lian turned around and bent over to check. He said, "Are you okay?"
Lang Qianqiu got up and patted the dust off his body. He said, "I'm fine, thank you. He definitely let you go up to cheat and make you lose. Fortunately, you won the bet! "
Xie Lian thought, "You're completely wrong about this. If he didn't go easy on me, I wouldn't be able to win you back even if I gambled until the end of time …"
Just as he was thinking, he suddenly heard a few 'ding ding' sounds. Following that, there were low exclamations from the surroundings. Xie Lian turned around and saw that it was Hua Cheng who had finally walked out from behind the red gauze.
Previously, when he was in his youth form, Hua Cheng's long hair was tied up in a crooked manner. At this moment, his red clothes were hidden and his black hair was loose. His handsomeness was overflowing with demonic aura. Only the right side of his hair was tied up in an extremely thin braid with red coral beads hanging at the corner. However, it looked a little mischievous. The bracers were silver, the boots were silver, and the belt was also silver. There was a slender and slender curved blade hanging from his waist. The arc was smooth and treacherous. It was also silver. The blade was slender and so was the person. He leaned against the half-opened red gauze and crossed his arms. He said with a smile that was not a smile, "Brother, you won against me."
Xie Lian naturally knew what was going on just now. He said helplessly, "Don't laugh at me."
Hua Cheng raised his eyebrows and said, "No. How could that be? "
As for the group of ghosts below, they were extremely excited. They were rolling non-stop like boiling water. They were all extremely excited and whispered, "Why did the City Lord change his skin again today?"
"I'm going to die. The City Lord's new skin is so handsome that I'm going to die. It's fresh and energetic!"
"Die what die? Didn't you die a long time ago?!"
