Secret Dice

"I wonder which brother on the road he is? His methods are so clever."

Opposite him was a kind-hearted casino owner, surrounded by several big men with sinister faces.

Luo Jun smiled: "There are no tricks, it's just luck."

"Luck?" The boss fiddled with the chips in his hand: "With odds of one to thirty-six, you just won the first time, but the second time you bet all the money you won, you actually won again! Okay! , I thought you were favored by the God of Wealth, and you had good luck again and again. But then you made three more bets, and you said it was luck. Are you lying?"

Luo Jun smiled and shrugged: "It's indeed a bit unbelievable, but I can only say that it is indeed God's blessing."

"Still talking back?" The boss sneered: "Boy, I didn't ask you to come here because I didn't want to embarrass you. Let's put it this way, your methods are the most superb I have ever seen. I have two senior crooks surrounding you. I don’t see any flaws. Don’t you just want money? If you follow me, I will ensure that you are rich and prosperous.”

Luo Jun blinked: "What about the money I won?"

"You kid can't understand human language, can you?" The big man on the side held his shoulders: "Our boss is willing to talk to you because he respects you. If you don't agree, you will be useless as a food guy. "

As he spoke, he took out a short knife and made signs on Luo Jun's wrist.

"I still have to ask for money, otherwise my work will be in vain." Luo Jun counted on his fingers, "I bet one thousand dollars on the first hand and made thirty-six dollars, and then I made thirty-six dollars on the second hand. Thirty-six dollars, that is, one thousand two hundred and ninety-six dollars. The third one...the single bet limit in your casino is fifty dollars. I won one thousand eight hundred dollars in the last three games. After deducting the principal, the total should be Six thousand seven hundred and thirty-one... Well, I think you are quite sincere, just give me a zero and give me a banknote of six thousand and let it be settled for today."

The casino owner didn't expect this kid to be so ungrateful, so he winked at his subordinates: "Pick the tetsuji on one hand first!"

The big man held down Luo Jun's hand and raised a knife to greet him.

But Luo Jun flipped his hand and easily escaped from control, grabbing the blade of the short knife.

The big man didn't expect this kid to be so tough, but he was also a desperado who licked blood from his knife. He was afraid of what you were doing, so he immediately drew his knife and planned to cut off Luo Jun's four fingers.

But as soon as he exerted force, he felt something was wrong. The blade seemed to be welded to Luo Jun's hand. No matter how hard he pulled it, it didn't move at all!

"Pick my Tetsuji? If you really have such a good sword, I'd like to see it!"

As he said that, he put more force on his hand, and the shining blade was deformed by him, easily twisted into a twist, as if it was made of paper!

Seeing this scene, the casino owner frowned: "Get him!"

Several big men around him immediately surged with aura, picked up their weapons, and rushed towards Luo Jun!

five minutes later……

In the messy hut, several thugs were lying on the ground groaning. One of them even broke through the brick wall and his head was stuck between the bricks. He didn't know whether he was alive or dead.

As for the previously arrogant casino owner, he was now smiling, exchanging chips for him under Luo Jun's guidance.

"This is a banknote of seven thousand taels...Young hero, please count it carefully. If you don't have enough, come again..."

"As promised, I didn't take advantage of you." Luo Jun waved his hand: "In order to deal with your incompetent men, my hands were bruised. The extra 200 yuan is the medical expenses..."

"Yes, yes, it's all because of their rough hands and lack of depth in their attacks. They hurt the young hero. They deserve to be punished, they deserve to be punished..." Saying this, the boss almost cried in his heart, thinking about your slap and knife. They were all crushed to pieces, would they be bruised just by giving them a few mouthfuls? Blackmailing people also has some moral integrity, okay?

Anyway, Luo Jun, who made his first pot of gold from the casino, then started to let himself go, eating, drinking and having fun in this entertainment district. Finally, he chose the most magnificent looking inn and got a room. It was beautiful. slept all night.

Early the next morning, he returned to Treasure Building, found the shopkeeper and showed the half of the iron plate. After confirming that the token was correct, Luo Jun was led upstairs. After a while, he walked out with satisfaction and left. Jubaolou didn't even look for Wukong, so he headed north towards the Longguan Pass at a very high speed.

It has to be said that his journey was quite neat. He moved forward at full speed when he left the treasure gathering building. He left Qianzhou City in a few leaps without any hesitation. At first glance, he looked like he was escaping with the treasure.

Finally, late that night, Luo Jun, who had traveled thousands of miles, arrived at Longguan Pass.

As a dangerous pass that separates Mobei and the Central Plains, the Longguan Pass was built extremely majestic. It was sandwiched between two precipitous peaks. The city walls were tall and thick, with crossbows set up on top of the city. There were groups of soldiers going back and forth even late at night. patrol

For such an important pass, not to mention the merchants and ordinary martial arts masters, they can only pass through it when the switch is released during the day the next day.

But Luo Jun didn't have to be so troublesome. He jumped into the air on tiptoes, stepped on the steep rock wall, bypassed Longguan from the nearby mountain, and arrived outside the pass in a blink of an eye. After walking another seventy miles, he arrived at the promised palace. The ancient city of Mobei.

This ancient city is not big, and it doesn’t even have a proper name. Because of the constant wind and sand all year round, the locals call it Shazigou. It is said that a thousand years ago it was a treasure land with lush water and grass. But now, there are only two or three miles in the direction where thousands of people still live. it's here.

But because the day after tomorrow is the day of the duel between the two masters, there are many martial arts masters who have gathered here from all over the world. The originally not prosperous ancient city is suddenly overcrowded. Not to mention the only inn in the city, the abandoned houses and temples in the town are full of people. Even many martial artists set up tents outside the city, just to occupy a good position on the day of the duel.

Luo Jun came relatively late. After a circle outside the city, he found that there was no good place to sleep on the ground, so he could only find a leeward earth wall to lean against for the night.

Although with his energy, it’s okay not to sleep, but he still has to rest if he has the chance. Anyway, with his current perception, even if he is asleep, he can wake up early if he encounters danger. What’s more, he is not tired now. Compared with sleeping, this is more like closing his eyes to rest.

With the sound of a cock crowing, the sun slowly rose from the eastern horizon. Luo Jun also stretched and stood up, patted the sand on his body, walked into the ancient city, found a breakfast shop that had just opened, and ordered a big bowl of noodles.

The weather in September, in Yunzhou and even Qianzhou, still had the residual heat of summer, but in the early morning of this ancient city of Mobei, the cold wind was already a bit biting.

Although Luo Jun's physique was not afraid of cold and heat, he still felt comfortable from the inside out after eating a bowl of hot soup noodles.

Not satisfied, he ordered another bowl of mixed noodles, this time eating slowly, while slurping noodles, he listened to the conversations of the martial artists passing by with interest.

"Tomorrow is the date of the duel. I heard that the duel will officially begin when the first ray of sunlight shines in the morning!"

"Brother, where do you think is the most suitable place to watch the game?"

"If you ask me, we have to occupy the commanding heights, the tallest tower in the southwest corner of the city will do."

"Standing in such a conspicuous place, we won't be affected, right? If you ask me, let's hide outside the city."

"What are you thinking? It's dangerous outside the city! That's a duel between Yuhua masters, how can it be in the city? With one sword energy from the old sword saint, half of the thousands of people in this city will die."

"Yes, the ancient city of Mobei is just a convenient location. The real duel site must be the wilderness near Shazigou. It's safest for us to watch in the city."

"By the way, I seemed to see the people of Tianmen yesterday. I have arrived, but I haven't seen the Sect Master himself... Will the martial arts competition tomorrow be postponed?"

"He is a true immortal who travels thousands of miles a day. Coming here from Tianmen is just like us going to the market in the town at the foot of the mountain. He came here as soon as he said he would."

…………

The breakfast stall can be said to be a distribution center for all kinds of news. Luo Jun ate this bowl of noodles for more than half an hour, and all kinds of gossip emerged one after another. At first, it was only focused on the two parties involved, the Sword Saint and the Sect Master of Tianmen. Later, they began to discuss their disciples, and then extended to the small sects around the two major sects that depended on them. Finally, they even counted the martial arts scums they had taught a lesson one by one...

After being satisfied, he touched his mouth and left ten big coins. Luo Jun stood up and prepared to leave the stall, but his shoulder was suddenly held down by someone.

But he didn't react much, just looked at the man with thick eyebrows and big eyes next to him calmly.

"Brother Wukong, what a coincidence! I didn't expect to meet you here!"

Luo Jun smiled, and there was no surprise in his tone.

"You knew I was coming?" Wu Kong sat opposite him and ordered a bowl of noodles.

"I know, but I don't know." Luo Jun smiled and said, "I know you will find me sooner or later, but I don't know when and where you will appear."

"Brother, you are not very honest." Wu Kong smiled and said, "I have shown such great sincerity, but you actually took the treasure for yourself and ran all the way to such a far place?"

"Brother Wu, you are wrong." Luo Jun waved his hand: "You said at the beginning that you have no chance with this treasure, so I can do whatever I want..."

"I mean, if you can't open the cabinet door... forget it, I won't argue with you." Wu Kong waved his hand: "Now that the things are taken out, you have to let me see them, right?"

Who knew that Luo Jun spread his hands and looked innocent: "What is it?"

"Of course it's the treasure in the treasure house!" Wu Kong looked at Luo Jun: "You used the token, took the treasure, turned around and left Qianzhou City, and came here all the way without stopping. Of course, the things are with you."

Luo Jun smiled and shook his head: "Brother Wu, you misunderstood again, I didn't Didn't take anything. "

"Didn't take anything?" Wu Kong frowned: "Impossible!"

"What's impossible?" Luo Jun smiled and said: "You think too highly of me. I did go in and take a look. The safe was made of outer space black iron. It was taller than me, thick and heavy. I didn't have the password, so how could I open it? So I took a look and came out. I didn't take the treasure at all!"

"Impossible!" Wu Kong shook his head and said: "If you didn't take the treasure, the token iron plate should have been brought out, but the iron plate is not on you now!"

"Huh?" Luo Jun was surprised: "How do you know the iron plate is not on me?"

"Uh..." Wu Kong was speechless for a moment, but Luo Jun caught the reason: "Oh, you tampered with the iron plate, so that you can monitor my location at any time! No wonder you can find me even if I run so far!"

Luo Jun actually guessed correctly. Wu Kong did leave a very hidden mark in the iron plate, which only he could feel. Yesterday morning, after Luo Jun entered Jubao Tower, he felt that the aura of the iron plate had disappeared. Then after a while, Luo Jun came out and headed north. He naturally believed that Luo Jun had taken the things, so he followed him all the way.

Although the iron plate has disappeared, Luo Jun has been carrying it for a long time, and there is still some smell on his body. Wu Kong can feel it, so he can grasp Luo Jun's position all the way and follow him to Shazigou.

"It seems that I guessed it right." Luo Jun shook his head with disappointment: "The day before yesterday, you said so openly, what about showing sincerity, what about not having the treasure... In the end, you still did something tricky... I didn't expect that you, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, are so scheming, and your mind is not as big as your eyebrows and eyes!"

Since his tricks were exposed, Wu Kong didn't say much nonsense: "Anyway, the thing must be on you, take it out!"

"God is conscientious!" Luo Jun spread his hands: "It's really not here, if you don't believe me, search it."

Wu Kong narrowed his eyes slightly: "Where is the iron plate?"

"Iron plate?" Luo Jun smiled slightly: "Brother Wu is not sincere, but I am sincere enough. If you give me such an important thing, of course I will keep it well for you!"

Wu Kong was slightly stunned, then his eyes widened, and he said in surprise: "You...you saved the iron plate?!"

Luo Jun smiled: "Is it sincere enough?"

That's right, the day before yesterday afternoon, Luo Jun went to the casino to play a few big games and turned one tael of silver into seven thousand taels. The purpose was not to make money for food, drink and fun, but to collect enough money for the storage fee of Zhibao Pavilion!

Zhibao Pavilion claims to only accept treasures, but there is no clear definition of what is a treasure. If it is calculated by value, then the best jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings are naturally treasures! But for people in the martial arts world, a secret book of magic skills and a magic weapon are naturally treasures! In addition, some top-secret information files, comments written by a master of mathematics, etc., as long as they are meaningful enough, can be regarded as treasures!

Therefore, Jubao Pavilion decided not to set the standard for the treasure, but to set a huge storage fee. No matter what it is, as long as the treasure depositor is willing to spend a huge amount of money to preserve it, it means that this thing is valuable enough!

Therefore, the only standard of Zhibao Pavilion is the storage fee. As long as you can afford it and are willing to spend a lot of money to store a pile of shit in Zhibao Pavilion, Jubao Pavilion will handle the procedures for you as usual!

The reason why the signal of the iron plate disappeared yesterday morning was because Luo Jun stored this thing in Zhibao Pavilion!

Thinking of this, Wu Kong was stunned...
