Huang Shang followed the two men to the entrance of a gambling house, and Lu Zhichun and the man in black had already walked in.
Huang Shang looked at the two characters "Gambling House" on the plaque at the door, smiled bitterly and murmured to himself: "In one day, I entered a brothel and a gambling house again."
Huang Shang smiled, shook his head, and followed the gambling house. He had heard before that Heishatang operated many gambling houses, and this should be one of them. Moreover, this place allows Lu Zhichun to enter the hall, which should be a relatively important one among the gambling houses.
After Huang Shang walked into the casino, he found that the place was not as filthy as he imagined. Instead, it was clean and bright. The gamblers were also quiet. Only those who played well would cheer themselves up in a low voice with red eyes.
Huang Shang glanced at several tables and found that most of them were betting on dice, and the gameplay was simple, that is, bet big or small. As he went deeper, Huang Shang found that the gambling methods became more complicated and the stakes became larger. Going to the innermost tables, each bet cost ten gold dollars! And the gamblers here are all extraordinary and don't look like ordinary people.
Huang Shang saw Lu Zhichun and the man in black walking into a small door, and was about to follow them when he was stopped by a man in gray.
"This guest, I'm betting on martial arts time. If you want to enter, please show me for six hours first." The man in gray said calmly, and martial pressure rose from his body. He turned out to be a fifth-level martial arts student!
"Six hours?" Huang Shangyi frowned, now he only has two hours, where can he get the other four hours?
"Ask senior sister to borrow it? If I ask, there should be no problem, but I'm afraid senior sister won't give it back. Senior sister has already given me thirteen hours, and I can't drag senior sister down anymore!"
"Forget it! It's none of my business in the first place, why should I bother so much about it? It's better to leave here, ask someone for directions, and return to the martial arts academy to continue training." Huang Shang thought about it and turned around. Leave.
At this moment, a fat middle-aged man suddenly appeared. He walked up to Huang Shang with a smile and weighed a large stack of gold tickets in his hand. Huang Shang glanced around and saw that the denominations of these gold tickets were all one hundred gold dollars. Such a stack should contain at least several thousand gold dollars!
When Wei Lingxin bribed the deputy head of Shengwu Hall for Huang Shang, the bribe amount was only 10,000 gold yuan. Wei Lingxin had worked hard to raise it from the Wei family and his own power, and this man was gambling with thousands of gold yuan. Playing shows his strong financial resources!
"Don't be like this! I think this little brother has extraordinary potential. Not only does he have real martial arts roots, but he also wears the uniform of the East China Martial Arts Academy. As the saying goes, don't bully young people who are poor. If you are interested, little brother, I can lend you six hours, as long as You can promise to pay me back when you go out." The middle-aged man smiled at Huang Shang.
Huang Shang was shocked after hearing this. Wei Lingxin once said that only a strong martial artist can see a person's martial roots at a glance. He and this middle-aged man met by chance, but the other person was able to reveal his true martial arts roots. Although the truth was not true, it also proved that this person might be a strong martial artist!
"Yes, yes! If you, the old man, can bring this little brother in, then I will make an exception and exempt the little brother from verification and inspection!" When the man in gray saw this person, he smiled attentively and said, A flattering look.
The man squinted his eyes and sneered: "I haven't gone in for a few days to play. It's not like I can't go in today, but you are doing it on a routine basis. You still need to verify and check. Are you afraid that I won't even be able to get six hours?" come out?"
The man in gray clothes was startled by the sneer and apologized quickly: "I don't dare! I don't dare! How come you don't have this little spare time? Just listen to you, I will still do a routine check-up!"
"Yeah." The middle-aged man smiled and nodded with satisfaction, making Huang Shang confused.
"Is this person really weird, or are the strong men just weirdos? There are easy ways to do it, don't use it, you have to do something complicated!" Huang Shang thought to himself.
Huang Shang smiled and said: "Thank you very much, senior. I will definitely return these six hours when I leave here!" I just went in to have a look and didn't participate in the bet. How could I lose these six hours?
"Okay! Okay! Okay!" The middle-aged man laughed inexplicably, waved his sleeves, and handed the six hours to Huang Shang.
"Strange! Strange! Even if it's Martial Lord, he can't just give it to someone in six hours, right? He's not worried about me losing at all?" Huang Shan looked at the other party's strange appearance and wondered.
The middle-aged man laughed and said: "Haha! Little brother, my surname is Ji Yazhong, Ji Yazhong, have you heard of it?" He is a dignified martial artist and has some reputation in the city of Yanjing.
"Ji Yazhong?" Huang Shang shook his head: "I've never heard of it!"
Ji Yazhong smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. Now that my little brother knows my name, he has to tell me yours too. This is only fair!"
"I'm Huang Shang."
"Okay! Let's??Go for it! "
The two of them entered together and found that there was only one big table inside, with more than a dozen people surrounding it, staring at something on the table.
Huang Shang followed Ji Yazhong closer, and then he saw clearly that what was on the table was a big chess set. At this time, more than half of the game had been played and it was close to the end of the game.
Huang Shang asked curiously: "Is this a bet that uses the time of the martial arts world as a bet? What kind of bet is it?"
"Hehe! This won't be clear for a while. If you really want to know, listen carefully to the words of everyone present, and you should be able to guess the truth!" Ji Yazhong laughed.
"Yeah?"
Huang Shang glanced at everyone present, but found no sign of Lu Zhichun or the man in black. Then he scanned the entire room again, but found no other entrances and exits, and had no idea where the two of them went.
Huang Shang asked Ji Yazhong: "Senior Ji Yazhong, I noticed someone from our martial arts academy walking in here just now, but I didn't see her after browsing around. Is there any secret door or other mystery in this room?"
"I also saw the little girl just now, but she was brought in by the messenger of Heisha Hall. I'm afraid it's not for gambling, but to enter the hall." Ji Yazhong thought about it for a moment, and continued: "If it is to enter the hall, here There is indeed a secret door that leads to the territory of the underground Black Evil Hall."
"The gamblers who often come here know the location of this secret door. Heishatang set the secret door here to prevent idlers from seeing it, but for us warriors who have the ability to gamble with the martial arts world, it doesn't look like much. ."
"I know you came here with that woman, is it because you admire her?" Ji Yazhong showed a bad smile.
"No!" Upon hearing this, Huang Shang waved his hands and said, "I just happened to hear that this senior sister was going to join the Black Evil Hall, and I was curious, so I followed!"
Ji Yazhong smiled and said: "Is that so? The East China Martial Arts Academy is divided into men's and women's colleges. You two must not have much connection. Are you too curious?"
"Haha." Huang Shang could only smile bitterly. Thinking about it now, he was really free.
"Forget it! No matter what the reason is, if Huang Shang wants to follow you but doesn't want to join the Black Evil Hall, then I can take you in and have a look!"
Ji Yazhong didn¡¯t know what he was thinking. He suddenly smiled at Huang Shang and said, ¡°But there is one condition. You have to double my six hours here and turn it into twelve hours!¡±
"How about it? If you can do it, you only need to pay me back the original six hours. The hours you won will be yours! And if you lose, I, Ji Yazhong, don't care about those six hours. I don't want you to compensate me. , I just need you to promise to do one thing for me, and this thing will never be detrimental to you, will you agree or not?"
Ji Yazhong seemed to be afraid that Huang Shang would not agree. Just after he finished speaking, he added another round: "Well, as long as you agree, even if you lose, I will take you in to find your senior sister. How about it?"
Huang Shang looked at the eager expression of the powerful martial artist in front of him, and wondered in his heart: "How can such a good thing in the world be possible? I felt something was wrong when you brought me in and lent me for six hours. As for now, I'm afraid he is trying to trick me. If It's okay if I win, but if I lose, I don't know what he wants me to do"
"How about it? Huang Shang, do you agree or not? You have to think about it. This is a pie falling from the sky. Do you think you can't trust me, Ji Yazhong? You miss me as a mighty warrior. Are you afraid that I am tricking you?" ?" After all, Huang Shang doesn't have much experience. Although he is quite smart, everything is written on his face. Ji Yazhong can tell this at a glance.
"Yes, this man is a Martial Lord. What is there that he can't do that only I can do? I'm afraid I'm really worrying too much. He has no ill intentions towards me!" Huang Shang thought and laughed. : "Okay! Thank you for your kindness, senior, then I agree!"
Seeing that Huang Shang agreed, Ji Yazhong laughed and said: "Haha! Okay! Let's bet quickly!" There was a little urging in his words.
After Huang Shang noticed it, he just shook his head: "I'm afraid it's me who is too worried. Now I'd better listen carefully to the conversation of the warrior next to me, and then confirm the rules with Ji Yazhong, and then I can place my bets!"
Huang Shang stood there and listened quietly to the conversation of the warrior next to him. After a while, he really understood a lot.
The gambling game here is chess, and the gameplay is even more bizarre. Ordinary people play chess, which is just a game between two people to determine the winner. If outsiders wanted to place bets, they would place bets on the two players to see whether they would win or lose.
¡°As for the gambling here, the two people playing against each other at the beginning can admit defeat after seeing the general trend. If no one is willing to accept the loser¡¯s mess, then the game is over. If someone is willing to take over, it's another gamble.?, players present and spectators can place bets again. Under such rules, stalemate chess games often have to be played by different players within a few moves. In order to earn time in the martial arts world, it is possible for those with high chess skills to play black and white in a game.
"The rules are really loose, but I know nothing about chess. Apart from knowing that you can capture by surrounding me, I don't know all the small rules. I can't play it myself. Now I can only suppress others." Huang Shang thought to himself, secretly Observing the few people who often take over the chess game, since they dare to step forward to play chess, they must have decent chess skills.
After watching for a while, Huang Shang recognized the six people who often played chess, and selected the two best players among the six, and prepared to place bets on these two people.
¡°One of the two people was wearing a black robe and black boots with a solemn expression, and the other was wearing a white shirt embroidered with green bamboo, shaking a scholar¡¯s ??paper fan in his hand, looking very frivolous.
"It's the two of them!" Huang Shang looked at the two people and felt confident.
On the side, Ji Yazhong saw Huang Shang's series of observations and choices, and nodded secretly: "This kid has a good understanding and has a martial arts root. I never expected that I could meet such a good young man when I was having fun in the gambling house. This is really What a great thing!¡±
