different paths

When the two entered the gate, they saw large and small soup pools all over the garden, separated by screens and screen walls. Although the soup pools are all open-air, each pool is steaming, and even the water is gurgling and tumbling. with.In the center of the garden stands a beautifully decorated embroidered building with upturned eaves, red silk and satin hanging from the corners to the ground, and every beam on the carved railing is wrapped with gold thread, which is very rich.

As they entered, a burst of piano sounds came from upstairs, and a group of slim girls suddenly appeared on the Xiulou Building, with slender heads and crescent eyebrows, holding pipas in their arms, and Niao Tingting stood behind the railing and began to play.

Jia Wuchai leaned on Yue Chentan's back and stared for a while, but the sound of the zither jingled, but he became more and more hot, and rubbed against Yue Chentan's back involuntarily.

Yue Chentan froze, and said in a tense voice, "Be honest."

Jia Wuchai subconsciously let out a "huh", obviously not listening to the words.Yue Chentan walked towards a soup pool in the corner, and was about to go around the screen wall when a shirtless man with a sweat towel in his hand came out from behind the screen wall.

He looked at the two of them calmly for a moment, then put a smile on his face and said: "Master, the first rule of our casino is to take off your clothes."

Yue Chentan didn't answer, and asked directly: "How to gamble?"

The shirtless burly man chuckled: "It is said that Sezi has a knife on his head, and a hero is saddened by a beauty. The gambling method in our 'seme' casino is naturally related to beauties."

When Jia Wujue heard this, he was quite touched and said, "It's hardest to bear the grace of a beauty..."

The shirtless man gave a thumbs up: "It seems that this master has a lot of experience, and this must be a problem." After making fun of a few words, he finally started to talk about the topic, "The gambling method is also simple, as long as the two can If you win our teasing order and flying flower order, you've won the bet."

The teasing order and Feihua order were originally famous elegant orders in the wine order, and Jia Wujue was no stranger to them.The teasing order was originally sung and danced by each person who executed the order. If he made a mistake, he would be punished with wine. However, the Feihua order is played more elegantly. The person who executes the order must recite a sentence with flower characters in a fixed order. Poetry, if you can't answer it, you will be punished with alcohol.

But these two kinds of drinking orders are placed in this "colorful" casino, but the gameplay is completely different from the general drinking orders.The shirtless man only led two people into the pool, and asked him how to win. He only said that he won the bet if he had one breath left after the teasing order, and he won if he got a bead flower on the official's head after the flying flower order.

This kind of winning method is full of weirdness.

But Jia Wuchai and Yue Chentan, one was hot-headed and confused, the other was calm and indifferent, neither planned to investigate the mystery behind it.As soon as Jia Wujue came, he stripped off his shirt and unceremoniously threw him into the pool.

"Wow!" There was a splash of water.

Washing his face with water did not make Jia Wuchao more awake, the steaming heat seemed to accelerate the flow of his blood, and his heart pounded violently against his chest.When he saw Yue Chentan take off his coat and walk into the pool without haste with his upper body bare, he felt as if he was hallucinating, otherwise why would he feel that the coming person was glowing all over?

As the opponent got closer and closer, Jia Wuhai shook his body uncontrollably.The heat made his eyes blurred, until the body with clear lines hit his eyes, he was startled and staggered a few steps back.

"Be careful." Yue Chentan supported him from behind.

The opponent's palm was lightly placed on the back of his waist, with little strength, but the temperature in the palm seemed to burn him. The hot spot spread from the waist and eyes to the whole body, and his whole body seemed to be burning.

What's hateful is that the person who made trouble on his back didn't realize it at all, but locked his eyes tightly on his hot body.

"What are you doing—" Even though Jia Wuhai had a thick skin, he couldn't take it anymore.

"You..." Yue Chentan looked at him with a strange expression, "What's wrong with your body?"

"Hot," Jia Wuchai tilted his head and thought for a while, then added another word, "Dizzy."

——It seems that you are very dizzy.

Yue Chentan's next move made Jia Wuchai even more uncomfortable.

The fingers with sharp joints were not light or heavy on seven places on his upper body, the meaning was unclear, and the words he said were even more elusive: "Have you seen these places yourself?"

The places where his fingertips touch are all acupoints on the upper body, two of which are Yingchuang and Qichong.These two places, one is located two fingers above the nipple, and the other is located one inch above the groin, both are awkward positions, Jia Wujue usually does not have the time to look at them carefully, and naturally he has not been touched by others.

But being so little by Yue Chentan, there was a strange pleasure running up the tailbone, Jia Wuchai folded his arms fiercely, blocked his chest and said angrily, "What's so interesting about this!"

Yue Chentan looked at him, with a smile in his eyes, and a bit of helplessness: "There are red marks on these acupoints of yours, I'm afraid it's because of Qiqingsan."

When Jia Wujue heard this, he realized that the other party didn't have any other messy thoughts at all, his face burned even hotter in an instant, and he groaned: "Do monks also know that Qiqingsan..."

Seeing his awkward appearance, Yue Chentan smiled and shook his head.

How could Jia Wujue have never heard of the name of Qiqingsan? Just by looking at the name, he knew that it was not a medicinal powder worthy of the name.After taking Qiqingsan, the seven emotions and six sensory desires will no longer be under control, and the seven acupoints on the upper body will appear traces similar to those after the cloud and rain, and then there will be unbearable passion, which is no different from the effect of ordinary aphrodisiacs.

Jia Wukai couldn't help gritting his teeth, the wine in the casino just now, if he drank it wrong, he would die if he drank it right!But why Yue Chentan didn't respond when he also drank the wine?He looked up and down Yue Chentan suspiciously for a moment, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he understood.

"Brother Yue, it turns out that you have a hidden disease..."

Seeing the other party's malicious smile, Yue Chentan pressed a finger on his Qi Chong acupoint: "The cold poison in my body has not disappeared, and the dryness medicine will lose its effect if it counteracts it. Besides , what you should consider at the moment is not my fault, but..." Before he finished speaking, he only glanced at Jia Wukai's submerged body, the meaning of which was self-evident.

Jia Wujue was pressed by him just now, causing the blood in his whole body to rush to one place, and he almost screamed, and when he heard him say this again, he said in a rough voice: "Then tell me, what should we do now?"

"Forbearance." Yue Chentan only dropped one word, then turned around suddenly.

Hearing a few sounds of cong, at the height of the Xiulou, women in gold and silver opened their mouths slightly, and they all sang together——

"There is a banquet full of flowers and wine,

The wine is slow and the golden cup is in hand.

Wear flowers on your head to drink,

It's all for drinking, high fork hand.

The pipa is full of lovesickness,

Even dance sleeves to the feast. "

This is originally a song sung when the teasing orders are in order, and they dance while singing. If the movements are correct, it will be the next person's turn.After all, the teasing orders in the Kese Casino are different from other places. After singing the word "Dancing Sleeves", the woman upstairs raised her long sleeves, and thousands of silver needles stabbed at the two people in the soup pool like rain and wind.Jia Wukai didn't have time to react, he felt his feet were empty, it turned out that Yue Chentan threw him on his back——

"pay close attention."

Before he finished speaking, Yue Chentan had already moved dozens of steps away from his feet. The advance and retreat were as fast as lightning. In an instant, a dense layer of silver needles floated up on the steaming water.Looking carefully, this silver needle is different from ordinary ones, both ends are pointed, extremely sharp.Even if the person who uses this silver needle is not careful, he will stab himself.Not to mention that the needle body is actually hollow and has poison inside. When the silver needle penetrates the human body, the needle will separate from the needle body, and the poison will flow out from the needle body. Even if the silver needle cannot kill people, the poison is enough to kill people. to death.

This kind of double insurance makes people in the world change their expressions slightly when they hear the name "throat sealing and flying needle". "Throat-sealing flying needle" Zhen Ruxu, such a flying needle should only come from the Zhen family in Xingyang.

But among the young women who are smiling and charming in the embroidered building, there is obviously no such figure as Zhenxu.How did the Zhen family's housekeeping skills fall into the hands of others?The Zhen family's status in Jianghu is not low. Were they held hostage and had to hand over the cheats, or were they bought off and willingly handed over their stunts?

No matter which one it is, the methods of the people behind the scenes are enough to make people shudder.If even Zhen Ruxu, who is very skilled, falls into the hands of this person, how many sects and people in the Jianghu can be spared?It is said that the temples and rivers and lakes are clearly divided, but in fact they contain each other and are closely related.For a person who can take most of the Jianghu under his command, wouldn't it be easy for him to get a temple?

Even when he was dizzy, Jia Wuhai could understand the seriousness of it.He whispered: "Shen Tan, why do I feel that the various gambling methods here are not so much about winning or losing with the gamblers, but rather giving power to the gamblers?"

Yue Chentan spun his feet abruptly, dodging a new round of flying needle rain with a low body, and replied: "There are still temptations."

If it is only for making money, it is enough to bid the price of martial arts cheats, why use martial arts to determine the outcome?Obviously, compared to gold and silver treasures, the owner of the gambling shop wants to bring people who can win with martial arts into his command.

But what does a mere gambling house need so many masters of the rivers and lakes?

Thinking of Yi Qingling who insisted on entering the gambling house to find out, and thinking of the familiar eyes in front of the wine casino, Jia Wujue suddenly said: "You said, this Yongle gambling house uses various special skills to attract people in the world, but The selection conference is to attract martial arts people with the title of official and rich salary, is there any connection between the two?"

"Pu" "Pu" sounded softly, Yue Chentan swept his legs in the air, and the silver needles within a few meters were swept away by his legs and fell into the water.There was one more person on his back, but his figure was still nimble and light. Before the next round of attack came, he had already swept towards the bank of the pool farthest from the embroidery building.With a stable figure, he said in a calm manner: "For the selection meeting to select the emperor's servants, everyone in the world is flocking to it. How to select qualified candidates in a short period of time, I am afraid that the imperial court is also quite troubled."

"The imperial court always looks forward and backward when doing things." Jia Wujue murmured, "If the selection method is too complicated, it will be said to be deliberately difficult; if it is too simple, it will be ridiculed for being useless. How can you be unscathed in a duel between warriors if you carelessly take care of human life?"

"That's right." Yue Chentan said, "If you can use someone else's hand to complete the selection process, and get a satisfactory result without being reprimanded, why not do it?"

"You mean——" Jia Wujue had an epiphany, "The so-called four-way betting method of drinking, sex, wealth, and fortune is already a part of the selection process?"

"It's quite possible." Yue Chentan nodded slightly, "Let's watch as we go."

Before the words fell, a new round of offensive had already struck.The sound of the pipa became more and more urgent, and the dense curtain made of silver needles became bigger and bigger, and the net was lowered from the sky, leaving no way for people to survive.

Facing the rain of needles, Yue Chentan's expression did not change, he just said "catch up" to the person on his back, and the figure had already jumped and turned several times in a blink of an eye.He wanted to support Jia Wuhai with his hands, but he only used his legs as weapons and stepped on the top of his knees, showing a mighty aura of a tiger and an eagle.

Second-rate martial arts look at routines, first-rate martial arts look at four tips.The ends of human flesh, muscles, and bones are called shoots, and the four shoots are blood tips, flesh tips, tendon tips, and bone tips. Those who are skilled in kung fu can make people fearful and frightening just by using the four tips.As the saying goes, if you are brave and have bones, you will grow hair when you cut your teeth.

Yue Chentan didn't appear to be gnashing his teeth, but he had completely wiped out his opponent's aura between the shadow and the reality.The sound of the piano stopped suddenly, and the rain of needles stopped suddenly.The banker with a sweater in his hand came in from the outside with a smile again, cupped his hands and said, "Congratulations, you two, you only need to win one more game, and you can choose the lottery in this casino!"

Yue Chentan said indifferently: "Flying Flower Order?"

"Exactly." The dealer replied in a hurry, "If you can win this teasing order, the flying flower order must not be under the orders of the two masters."

Yue Chentan glanced at him, but didn't respond, the dealer complimented him again, and then retreated tactfully.

Twisted lightly, pearls fall from the jade plate, and the sound of the pipa reappears at the carved railings and painted buildings.

Behind the railing, several women are holding the pipa obliquely, with skin like jade, black temples like cicadas, red sleeves slightly swaying, and beautiful faces.There is a bead flower slanted in each temple, pink in the red, more delicate and beautiful than a little cinnabar between their eyebrows.

Jia Wuhai glanced at it, only to feel that the shadowy women upstairs seem to have known each other.His conjecture was quickly confirmed, only to hear Yue Chentan say: "Sword Dance Gate."

In the old Longyuan Mountain Villa Sword Appreciation Conference, Li Yan's Ni Lian Nine Swords and the pipa of his disciples cooperated with each other, and the fusion of piano and sword was admirable.The death of Li Yan is embarrassing, but the foundation of Jianwumen is quite deep, and there are not a few people who can replace it. Why is it reduced to a gambling house today?Or are you willing to come to help the casino?

It's too late to think about it, the flying flower order of Yongle Casino has already started.There were eight women at the railing, one of them took a step forward, plucked the string on the shaft, and sang: "Flying fragrance is popular all over the sky——"

As soon as she started singing, she saw the red silk hanging from the corner of the eaves suddenly rolled into the air, coiled and entwined, crossed vertically, and soon formed a net near the ground. This net has ups and downs. Go, shaped like a spring flower.

"It seems that this 'Flying Flower Order' is going to fly over this 'flower'." Jia Wu bullied.

Yue Chentan didn't make a sound, just supported him on his back, and then rushed towards the first flower.

Flowers, a symbol of beauty, are now making people feel like walking on eggshells.The petals are made of red silk. If you want to stabilize your figure on the ground, you need to have good lightness skills, and you need to have a good timing.The eight women chanted eight sentences respectively, one sentence was a red flower, and the flowers fell at the end of the sentence, and each flower rose step by step, approaching the embroidery building from the ground layer by layer.The flowers fall and the flowers bloom, but for a moment, to jump onto another flower in the gap, movement and timing are indispensable, not to mention that Yue Chentan still has a person on his back.

Since Yue Chentan broke through the realm, his external strength and internal strength are completely different from before.To him, the difficulty of stepping on flowers in the air is not worth mentioning. It's just that the person on his back is not so relaxed when facing this unusual flying flower order.

When Yue Shentan lightly landed on the fifth flower, the sound of the pipa suddenly changed rapidly. No. 5 girl didn't open her mouth to sing for a long time, but just played a strange melody amidst the sound of the pipa like a torrential rain. The tone is incompatible with the overall melody, as if a person who does not understand music theory has been mixed in among the pipa masters, which is extremely harsh.

"Well!"

The melody played for only a moment, when Jia Wuchai suddenly let out a muffled snort.

"But it's unwell?" Yue Chentan frowned slightly.

Jia Wuchai didn't know how to describe the feeling at this moment. The flame that had just died down in his belly not only revived at this moment, but also spread along the meridians with the strange sound of the pipa, and burned directly to the embarrassing place on his body - the hole above the nipple. , Qimen acupoints under the nipples, Qichong and Chongmen acupoints around the perineum are all numb and swollen, sometimes extremely itchy, sometimes very hot and painful.This evil fire seemed to be guided by the melody, and shot up along his central axis, until it burned to his throat, dry and thirsty, he kept swallowing saliva, but it didn't help.When the tone changed again, his mind exploded with a "bang", his rationality drifted further and further away, and he rubbed against Yue Chentan's back involuntarily.

The person under him froze suddenly.

Jia Wukai drooped his head, breathing more and more heavily on the side of Yue Chentan's face, Yue Chentan pursed his lips, and turned his head slightly, only to see Jia Wukai's eyes were bloodshot, his complexion was pale, and his mouth was constricted due to forbearance. Bitten to pieces, blood-stained.

After a moment of silence, Yue Chentan lowered his voice and asked again: "Wu Hao, can you hear me?"

Jia Wuhai gave a subconscious "hmm".

"The poison of dryness must be cured by cold medicine. There is no medicine to find now. I have cold poison in my blood, so I have the right to use medicine."

"Blood!" Hearing this word, Jia Wujuan suddenly raised his head and yelled frantically.His throat seemed to be on fire, and the evil fire in his body was rampant. As soon as the word 'blood' came out, his body began to tremble inexplicably. It was a kind of trembling caused by joy and excitement.

He stared at the person below him, and the only word "blood" was raging in his mind.He saw a hand with well-defined joints appearing beside the neckline of the person below him, pulling it to the sides, and a shoulder and neck full of strength appeared in front of his eyes.

He felt a strange joy, opened his mouth, and gnawed down.

He sucked the blood hungrily, and the sound of fireworks seemed to ring in his ears.

Greedy for a while.
