Inherit the Blood Sea True Legend at the beginning

Chapter 47 048. Gambling on Stones

Inside the tent that Fangyuan walked into, there were three rows of counters along the edge. There were pieces of amber or fossils on the counter. The small one is only about the size of a palm, and the big one is as big as a basin. There are also bigger ones, as tall as a person. Of course it couldn't be placed on the counter, so it stood directly on the floor.

Unlike the hustle and bustle of other tent shops, it was quiet and quiet inside, with everyone paying full attention.

There were Gu Masters in twos and threes standing in front of the counter. Some were looking carefully at the stones placed on the counter. Some picked up the fossils and rubbed them carefully in their palms to feel the feel. Some were discussing in a low voice with their companions, and some were discussing with the store owner. The guys negotiate the price.

But no matter what they said, they always spoke softly and tried not to disturb other people.

This is a stone betting shop that specializes in stone betting.

In this world of Gu, there are all kinds of strange and countless Gus. Gu insects have their own specific food. Without food, the voodoo insects can only persist for a period of time before they die.

But nature is both cruel and kind to life.

If there is a lack of food, the Gu insects will have a chance of survival. That is to fall into deep sleep and seal yourself.

For example, without the moon orchid petals, Moonlight Gu might seal itself. It will shrink its power as much as possible, similar to hibernation, and fall into the deepest sleep. At this time, its body will not only dissipate the blue light, but also fade from the transparent crystal shape into a gray stone, covering it with a stone shell. As time goes by, the stone shell becomes thicker and thicker, forming a stubborn stone.

Another example is the wine bug. If it seals itself, it will form a white cocoon. It will curl up and sleep in the cocoon.

Of course, this kind of sealed sleeping situation does not happen in all Gu insects. The probability of it happening is very small. Under normal circumstances, Gu insects will not fall asleep, but starve to death due to lack of food. Only a few individual Gu insects will seal themselves under certain circumstances.

Some Gu masters accidentally obtained these stubborn stones or cocoons that sealed the Gu worms, and awakened the sleeping Gu worms inside. Some made a small fortune from this. Some achieve great success, and their life trajectories usher in a turning point.

These situations happen frequently in the world of Gu Masters, and there are often true or false rumors that arouse people's imagination.

This is the source of the stubborn stones in this stone gambling den. Of course, these stones all have similar shapes. It has to be opened to determine whether there are really poisonous insects inside.

"In a medium-sized stone gambling center like this, five or six out of ten stones are solid, and there are no poisonous insects inside. Even if there are stones with poisonous insects, they may not be all live insects. Nine times out of ten, they are dead poisonous insects. . But once you gamble on live voodoo, in most cases you can make a lot of money. If the voodoo is extremely rare, then you will either become prosperous from then on, or you will be killed and cheated. "

Fangyuan's heart was clear. He knew all about the doorways here. His five hundred years of experience could not be ignored.

In his previous life, he also participated in a caravan and worked as a waiter in a stone gambling den. Later, he even ran a stone gambling place, which was larger than this one and a medium-sized stone gambling place. I have tricked many gamblers, and I have also been fooled. I have been gambled away by others for valuable Gu worms several times.

However, generally speaking, Fangyuan at that time still relied on the business skills of Blue Star in his previous life to become rich. He even fell in love with a girl from a big family.

It's a pity that strength is everything in this world, and everything else is nonsense.

The girl's brother coveted Fangyuan's wealth and took it by force, causing Fangyuan's years of hard work to come to nothing. Even the girl ended up marrying the young master of another big family.

Fang Zheng and Jin Zhu followed the crowd into the stone gambling den. It was their first time here, and their eyes were full of curiosity.

Behind the counter here, a few meters apart stood a store clerk, both male and female. They all wear cyan belts around their waists. They are not mortals, they are all first-level Gu masters. Most are mid-level or high-level, and some are peak level.

Seeing the two people arriving in front of the counter, a female Gu Master who was closest to the two people walked over with a smile on her face and said softly: "Master, what quality of hard stone do you need? Every stone on the counter here is The stones are all sold for ten yuan stones.

If you and your girlfriend are trying stone gambling for the first time, and if you want to enjoy your time, you might as well go to the counter on the right, where the stones only sell for five Yuan stones. If you want something more exciting, you might as well go to the high-end counter right in front, where the hard rocks sell for 20 yuan each. "

The female Gu Master has rich experience. At first glance, Fang Zheng looks like a young boy who has never experienced anything in the world, and most likely he is a wealthy young man. "How about we listen to your little girlfriend's opinion?"

Facing the female Gu Master's teasing, Fang Zheng blushed instantly. It was obvious that the other party had misunderstood. He already had Shen Cui, and it was him who fucked Shen Cui for the first time. Although Shen Cui was a maid and an ordinary mortal, Fang Zheng would never do anything to feel sorry for her.

"No, no, Jin Zhu is not my girlfriend. We are just classmates, nothing more!" Fang Zheng explained to the female Gu Master with an embarrassed look on his face, and then looked at Jin Zhu, but Jin Zhu was blocked by someone on the side. Fascinated by the stubborn stone, he didn't notice Fang Zheng's words.

Jin Zhu looked at a counter with a lotus stone placed on it. The lotus stone was shaped like an echeveria, with a crystal clear color. It was usually taken from ancient ponds and lakes in the mountains.

"Oh? Little sister, are you interested in the lotus stone?" The female Gu Master immediately walked over and promoted with a smile on her face: "This kind of lotus stone is sold very well in our stone gambling den, and it's very big inside. Probability wraps the water channel, the Gu insect of the Mu Dao sect."

"No, actually we are here. Hey, where is Fangyuan?"

At this time, the two of them suddenly realized that they had lost Fang Yuan.

The Gu Master in front of Fangyuan was also enthusiastically promoting.

"Let me take a look first." Fang Yuan nodded expressionlessly to the female Gu Master who was selling, and then immersed herself in watching.

In his memory, it should be the counter of this stone betting shop, but he wasn't quite sure.

After all, it is a memory from more than five hundred years ago, which is really too long. Many things are extremely vague, especially the memory of five hundred years is really a huge reserve. To be honest, Fangyuan can recall too few details.

I just vaguely remember that in this year, on the first night of the caravan's arrival, a lucky man spent ten yuan stones to buy a fossil with a purple-gold color on the stone skin.

After he solved the stone on the spot, he got a toad. Then this second-level toad Gu was bought by someone, and he made a lot of yuan stones from it.

Fangyuan came here this time for this toad in his memory. If he could open it tonight, he could earn at least 500 yuan stones.

It is equivalent to the nature of Blue Star people traveling back in time to buy lottery tickets.

Fangyuan stood at the counter and looked at it quietly for a while, frowning slightly.

On the counter, there are more than twenty fossils with a purple-gold appearance. In which area is the toad hidden?

Each stone here costs ten yuan stones. Fangyuan currently has ninety-eight yuan stones, and based on this estimate, he can buy up to nine.

But it doesn’t actually count like this.

With any risk-taking or gambling, you must consider the consequences.

After five hundred years of ups and downs, Fangyuan is no longer a fool or a pretentious gambler. People who think they are favored by fate usually fall prey to fate's tricks.

Excluding the primeval stones needed to feed the Gu worms, he could only buy a maximum of seven purple gold stones, so he naturally had to be cautious, constantly look and observe, and exclude and screen.

"This stone is decorated with purple and gold like stars, but it is as flat as a pancake. There will be no toad inside."

"This piece of purple gold stone is too dazzling, but it is only the size of a fist. If there is really a toad hidden there, it should be at least 30% larger than it."

"This purple-gold fossil is a bit bigger, but its surface is extremely smooth, while the stone skin of the toad is full of pits. Obviously not..."

After the Gu insect was sealed and slumbered, the fossils formed were completely integrated, eliminating most detection methods in the world. The remaining detection methods are almost all forceful and brutal. Once used, they will directly kill the dying Gu insects inside.

Therefore, when Gu masters choose stones, they can only rely on guesswork, experience, luck, and occasional flashes of inspiration.

If not, this place wouldn't be called a casino.

It is precisely this excitement and the exaggerated effect of being able to change one's life against the will of heaven that makes gambling on stones endure for a long time.

It's better in the Qingmao Mountain area. The further east you go, the more popular casinos become. In the Baekdu Mountain area, every cottage has a casino. In some large cottages, there are also large casinos. Among the three major mountain villages famous for their far-sighted stone gambling: Panshi Village, Ancient Tomb Village, and Cangjing Village, there are also super large stone gambling places.

Each of these three large stone gambling centers has a history of thousands of years. Today, business is still booming, with an endless stream of gamblers, and it is the main economic pillar of the three cottages.

Finally, Fangyuan, relying on five hundred years of solid foundation and observation for a long time, finally selected the six purple gold fossils that best met the standards.

He was 80% sure that the toad was sleeping in one of the purple-gold fossils!
