Chapter 143: Big Gambling (Two in One)

"nice one!"

Seeing the black tiger-headed beast swallowing the shoulder pad, the other two old ghosts couldn't help but admire it.

Among them, the old ghost dressed as the author said something fair: "It's worth more than a Maoshan gold talisman."

This made Meng Fan a little embarrassed.

The canopy ruler and the Maoshan jade pendant were two magical artifacts that could not be lost. Meng Fan would not gamble.

Do we need to add another golden talisman?

Two golden talismans left by the previous leader:
Taishan pressure talisman, Samadhi true fire talisman.

This value is great, and it is related to the safety of this trip. It is the trump card second only to asking for a magic talisman.

Just when he was struggling, the ghost general said bluntly: "This guy is new, let him go."

"rational."

The honest-looking old man spoke and nodded in approval.

As a result, the scribe said nothing more, took out a treasure that was equivalent to the Black Tiger-headed Beast Swallowing Shoulder Guard, and said in a deep voice:

"The edict of the Zhenguan period."

"Not only is it tainted with imperial aura and national destiny, it is also related to another legendary figure."

The words fall.

Meng Fan asked curiously: "Can I see the content?"

"of course."

The three old ghosts were obviously familiar with each other and would not doubt the value of what the other party took.

Jiutianchang opens the palace, and all nations pay homage to Mianqi.

It is the prosperous Tang Dynasty that we are talking about.

The Kaiyuan Tongbao among the Great Five Emperors' coins also came from this dynasty. In this way, there is no need to elaborate on how strong the luck contained in the imperial edict is.

Moreover, Zhenguan is the reign name of Li Shimin. Putting aside some stains on his personal ethics, he can be regarded as an emperor through the ages in terms of expanding territory and caring for the people.

【Yu Xi!However, you, the second daughter of the warrior Xun, learned etiquette training at a young age and have been living in peace and quiet for a long time. She has come out of the Ding clan and is famous in the world. It is appropriate to abide by the old regulations and be given internal positions. It is destined that you will be a talented person.Go to the Qin Dynasty, you can live up to your destiny, but you can't be careful! 】

This is the imperial edict issued in the 12th year of Zhenguan.

Well, to be precise, it should be called an edict. It doesn’t start with “By God, the emperor decrees”, and the end doesn’t say “I admire this”. Instead, it has the content of the edict added by “under my command”. On a certain day of a certain year, a certain month, the relevant review minister name, the name of the person responsible for copying, and the emperor's seal.

The central meaning is that the second daughter of the warrior Yu, Kongming, was 14 years old and entered the palace as a talented person.

Samurai Yu?
A very unfamiliar name, but if the emperor calls her the Ding clan and lets his daughter enter the palace, it will definitely be correct.

Looking at the somewhat confused junior, the scholar ghost explained helplessly: "Warrior Xun was the governor of Lizhou and Duke Ying. He was one of the sixteen Taiyuan counselors who served in the founding of the Tang Dynasty. In the 13th year of the founding of the Sui Dynasty, he followed Li Yuan in revolting against the Sui Dynasty. .”

"Later, because of his daughter Kongming, he was posthumously named the Supreme Emperor Xiaoming Gao."

The surname is Wu... a talented person... qualified to make her father emperor...

Wu Zetian! !

Meng Fan reacted immediately.

Relying on the shallow historical knowledge in his previous life, he remembered that the only female emperor in China throughout the ages seemed to have coined a word to name herself:

Zhao.

The sun and moon are in the sky, Yin and Yang are united, illuminating the world.

Empty and clear?Zhao!

"How about it?"

Looking at the junior who finally recognized the goods, the scribe smiled and said:

"Does it need to be said more about the value of the first volume of writings written by Empress Wu Zetian when she entered the palace?"

In the eyes of ordinary monks, the most precious thing here is the dragon energy and its historical collection value, but Meng Fan thought more. He could travel through time, and he would go to the Tang Dynasty in the future.

There is an edict related to Li Shimin and Wu Zetian in his hand. If it is not kept in full, it will have incredible effects.

In other words.

The green-shirted ghost was unable to exert its full effect, so he regarded it as a bet, but Meng Fan had the opportunity to develop more effects, and he couldn't help but be excited.

"Senior, do you want to exchange? I'm willing to..."

"If you don't change, if you don't change, once you get to this table, whatever you want is up to you."

Before he finished speaking, he was bluntly rejected.

almost the same time.

The ghost who looked like an old country farmer said:

"Since you are interested in that empress, I will give you a chance. Hey, he has two related items on his body."

"Dayun and Baoyu, which were compiled during the Wu Zhou period, were personally read and stamped by her."

After some introduction, Meng Fan understood in his mind that the resistance to the court as a woman was unimaginably great, so Wu Zetian drove the "Big Cloud", sent down the "Precious Rain", and used two Buddhist scriptures to prove that she was the Buddha. next life.

In the end, all the people returned home and wished they could go out all the way to pay homage to the Queen and listen to the lectures under the Seven Treasure Tree.

A Taoist orthodox golden talisman.

A shoulder pad with strong evil spirit.

An edict tainted with the aura of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

Two scriptures closely related to Wu Zetian and emitting faint Buddhist light.

"let's start."

"Boy, do you plan to strike first or second?"

The ghost looked at Meng Fan with his copper bell-sized eyes.

"Everyone please first."

"Okay, I'll come first."

As he spoke, five ginkgo-shaped dice were thrown into the middle of the table, spinning at extremely high speeds.

The ghost general with a straightforward personality had a nervous expression and concentrated on watching the dice roll. When the speed slowed down, he couldn't help shouting:
"Lou, Lu, Lu!"

Mortals are attracted by yellow and white things, enjoy and indulge in the excitement it brings.

In order to pursue this kind of pleasure, the ghost kings gathered here chose to use various exotic treasures as prizes.

"open!"

Finally, the clasped hands loosened.

The rugged ghost who stood up unknowingly sat down, breathed a long sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "I don't believe you two can win the top prize among the six miscellaneous colors."

"..."

What responded to him was the sound of the dice falling on the table and spinning rapidly.

As expected, one tower and one pound.

The latter is at the end of the Six Miscellaneous Colors, and the difference in luck is evident.

At this point, Meng Fan believed that there was nothing strange here and it was all down to luck.

"It's time for you. People say that if you try this for the first time, you will have good luck." The ghost general said proudly.

After all, he didn't think that Meng Fan could beat him in the first round, unless his luck was really good!
It’s just a golden talisman… I can’t afford to lose.

He was thinking secretly in his heart, but his hand movements were not slow. Meng Fan let go of his hand, and Wu Mu began to spin wildly, not knowing which side it would fall on.

During this period, he did not shout loudly, but just stared at them.

The first wood: white, no pattern.

Second wood: white, no pattern.

……

Four whites.

When the last tree settled, revealing a patternless white color, Meng Fan clenched his fists and couldn't help but want to roar. Even though he finally restrained himself, his neck was still red.

It’s only 25 pieces of wood, but it can mobilize all the emotions of the four people at the table!
You must know that no matter which of the three old ghosts appears in the Yang world, they are all big figures who can stir up a storm, especially during their lifetimes.

At the moment, some are sighing, some are looking up to the sky and laughing, or some are beating their chests and feet.

The laugher was the ghost who looked like an old farmer. He threw the smallest chip at the end of the lottery.Therefore, no matter what Meng Fan throws, he will lose. It is better to relax and watch the jokes of the other two companions.

The one who beat his chest and stamped his feet was undoubtedly the ghost general. He threw the head of the six colors, and Meng Fan just hit one end. The five trees were all white, and the four noble colors were at the end.

If you lose, you want to win back.

This is the mentality of a gambler.And people who win want to win more...

To be fair, Meng Fan wanted to give up if he wanted to see good things, but he had only played one game and it was too easy to offend people by taking away the treasure he had obtained and running away.

Three thousand-year-old ghosts!

Probably born in the Tang Dynasty!

If it weren't for the fact that I had Maoshan at my back, I might have done this and wouldn't even be able to get out.

Moreover, the ghost general was quite polite and allowed him to play the first game with unequal talismans and accumulate primitive wealth.

Because of this, Meng Fan still chose to sit here and continue to play with the three "people", the old ghost who was addicted to food.

This kind of character makes Gui Jiang feel at ease.

It’s true that Taoists have wandered into this place by mistake in the past. After winning something, they left immediately, which seemed very immoral. Moreover, everyone had to gather a table again and didn’t know how long it would take.

The second round begins.

Meng Fan's winnings are still:

The Samadhi True Fire Golden Talisman drawn by oneself.

This time, Oni General was not so generous. He abided by the principle of equal value recognized by everyone and took out two gold coins, a kind of gold coin popular in the Edo period of Japan.

Since it can be put on the table, it is definitely not an ordinary gold coin. According to reports, it contains a lot of blood evil energy. It was minted from the Japanese Rebellion of Imjin to the Rebellion of Jeongyou, and it contains two evil spirits--

Cat again.

Bristle Spider (Lady Spider).

She is much more powerful than the female ghost Dong Xiaoyu of the Qing Dynasty, and is very popular among the ghost kings who are looking for novels.

Meng Fan was not surprised that the golden judge could seal away ghosts, because gold could indeed suppress evil.

The other two ghosts took out:
A simple black leather gourd and 100 taels of standard gold collars imbued with the dragon spirit of the Song Dynasty.

Unfortunately, Meng Fan, who won the first battle, lost.

The gentle-looking green-shirted ghost won everything, and he just shook a [-]-color [-]: plug.

However, after eating it once before, Meng Fan still had some leftover, so he directly took out the Black Tiger-headed Beast Swallowing Shoulder Guard.

And its original owner took off the other shoulder pad directly in the third round.

good guy...

If he loses again, this guy won't bring up the sea-swallowing beast on his knees and the belt engraved with Yaizi.

At the end, the luxurious armor disappeared, leaving only his pants.

Facts proved: Meng Fan thought too much.

In the subsequent gambling, everyone loses and wins, which is a bit like exchanging treasures.

After about fifty rounds, Meng Fan was at his worst. Not only did he lose his shoulder pads, edicts, and two Buddhist scriptures, but he also lost the two golden talismans left by his master.

However, this kind of gameplay that relies entirely on luck also means that novices will not always have bad luck.

The Taishan talisman is taken back.

Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty retracted the edict of canonizing Wu Zetian.

The two Buddhist scriptures "Dayun" and "Baoyu" were withdrawn.

Two small gold medals that seal Nekomata and Shinbura.

A horizontal sword made by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

A Ming Dynasty standard three-eyed gun.

The latter was once used by the famous Qi Shaobao, and more than twenty Japanese pirates died here.

"We will meet again when we are destined."

Meng Fan estimated the time and felt that it was already dawn. He said in an apologetic tone: "I have something to do on the trail, so I need to hurry up before dawn."

"Go ahead and have some fun on the way back. Then I will take you to continue killing everyone."

The ghost general who also won a lot laughed and said cheerfully.

There are winners and losers.

Meng Fan is the winner, Ghost General is the winner, and the other two are naturally the losers.

Of course, it would be better if they thought, "You may make a small profit, but I will never lose."

"Go and come back quickly. No one will come in next time. The three of us are waiting for you. In the meantime, we can go to other tables to rub hands."

The green-shirted ghost urged.

It is true that I am willing to admit defeat, but after losing so much, I definitely want to turn over.

Meng Fan looked at him as if he were looking at a boy who wanted to make money, and promised: "I will be back within seven days at the latest."

"Okay." The three ghosts said in unison.

"I haven't asked the names of the three of you yet."

"A certain surnamed Wang was from Liquan, Guanzhong. He entered Nanya in Chang'an and served in Youwuwei Mansion. He was once respected as a minister, and he also conquered those who were disobedient in the Western Regions.

When he was taking exams at the Ministry of War, he asked to return to his hometown. He lost his job in the capital and became the military leader in his hometown and county, that is, Zhechong Xiaowei. "

With that said, the ghost general sighed.

In his life, he had heard about the great achievements of Emperor Taizong Wen and was bathed in glory. At that time, the emperors and ministers of the Tang Dynasty, and even the barbarians who obeyed Tian Khan, all firmly believed that the heavenly soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were protected by the gods and could fight without mercy. Unbeatable.

He also heard that after the defeat of Dafeichuan, the famous general Xue Rengui and others returned after negotiating peace, and that the four towns of Anxi were lost. He scolded the young man for being useless and the defeated generals for being like dogs and rats.

Finally, he lived into the Tianbao year, and with his disabled body, he joined the army again, and went to the Western Regions with his family nephews and local heroes, and died in battle, completing the mission of a man in Guanzhong.

However, he did not tell Meng Fan these stories.

The introductions of scribes and old farmers were more concise.

One person claimed that his surname was Xue and that he was from Longmen, Jiangzhou.

One person claimed his surname was Yang and was from Hongnong Huayin.

For those who are proficient in history, they only need to know their surname and place of origin to guess how noble they were during their lifetime.

But Meng Fan was young and didn't know this.

Moreover, they had only known each other for a short time. In comparison, he and the ghost general named Wang were quite opportunistic.

"Guest, my master said that this is your first time here, so you won't receive any benefits this time."

When they arrived at the entrance, the paper man opened the door and personally saw Meng Fan off.

benefit?

The amount of human connections required to open such a place is indeed unimaginable, and the commission is not difficult to understand.

Beyond the fog.

Qiu Sheng and others were eager to see.

"Brother, are you alright?"

Not long after, Meng Fan heard Qiu Sheng's voice through the fog that blocked out the sunlight.

"fine."

"Is it dangerous?" Ah Wei came up and asked.

His eyes lingered on Meng Fan.

Objects such as edicts and gold medals are easy to hide, but horizontal knives and three-eyed blunderbuss are different. They have no place to put them and can only be carried or hung.

"It's not particularly dangerous."

Recalling the extra entertainment activities in the second half of the night, Meng Fan couldn't help but smile on his face.

"What exactly is it?"

"A group of warm and hospitable thousand-year-old ghosts."

Hearing this, Ah Wei was helpless.

Except for Qiu Sheng, everyone else felt that Meng Fan was joking and did not want to talk more.

"Go, go."

After a night's rest, everyone munched on dry food and hit the road again, heading towards another Renjia town.

Looking at the looming stone buildings in the ghostly mist, Qiu Sheng was thoughtful and planned to wait until he officially entered Maoshan and come over to explore.

Judging from Brother Meng's expression, this place should not be dangerous, and there are still benefits to be gained.
