Chapter 41
Chen Shuangde couldn't help sighing: "Mr. Gu is so young, but he sees the world so clearly!" Gu Zhen's smile faded, and he said lightly: "It's only because of Wu Langyue and his like, even though he is rich and good at business, But I have money in my hands, and I have money in my heart. Only I have money in my hands, but I have no money in my heart. If I have money in my heart, it is easy to be controlled by money, and I become a slave to money; money."

Chen Shuangde was fascinated by this, and murmured: "Have money in your hands, but don't have money in your heart." Gu Zhen shook his head and said, "Shuangde, you can't do it after hearing this. I heard people say it when I was nine years old. Yes, but I didn’t realize this truth until half a year ago.”

Lu Jian thought to himself, half a year ago, wasn't he still in Jiuyou Absolute Prison?But Chen Shuangde said with a giggle: "Then this Lord Lu is rich but not rich?"

Gu Zhen took a look at Lu Jian and said with a smile: "I have the most sensitive nose. There is a trace of copper smell on mortals. I can smell it on both hands and hearts. Only on this Master Lu, I can't smell it at all." , It shows that he has no money in his hands, and he has no money in his heart." Lu Jian said with a smile: "This is reasonable, I am originally penniless and poor."

Gu Zhen shook his head and said: "You poor man, it's not easy to do. It's easy to be rich, but difficult to be poor. I laughed at Confucius Yan Hui, but these sages and sages cannot be moved by poverty, wealth cannot be prostitute, and might cannot Qu, even if he is penniless, he is still the teacher of a hundred generations of emperors. Winning one person wins a country, and this is called a poor country."

Before Lu Jian could answer, he suddenly heard an old voice from downstairs laughing, "What a poor country, my good grandson has been in prison for a few years, and he really has learned a lot."

Gu Zhen's eyes changed slightly, he laughed and said, "Grandpa Ying, it's late at night, you're not counting money at home, what are you doing here?"

"Don't mention the word money again." The old man said with a chuckle, "It's not like you don't know about grandpa's possessions, and it's not enough for your good grandson to stuff your teeth."

As he spoke, he walked up, seemingly old and weak, resting every three steps.Gu Zhen smiled slightly and said, "Grandpa Ying came very quickly. I thought the first one to come must be the Nine-Change Dragon King. Unexpectedly, the tortoise can climb faster than the dragon."

"Good grandson." The old man said with a chuckle, "Although you have captured Ye Fan's red-haired battleship, no matter how fast the ship is, it can't be as fast as the birds in the sky. You left the prison island the first day, and grandpa received the letter the next day. .Grandpa is lucky. He is near here. If you are looking for Wu Langyue and there is such a big commotion, even if I am a real turtle, I should have heard the news."

While talking, an old man turned out from the entrance of the building, with colorful clothes and yellow hair, long eyebrows drooping, back bent like a bow, holding a green bamboo walking stick.

Gu Zhen smiled and said, "Shuangde, why don't you watch the seats?" Chen Shuangde was clever, and before he could say anything, he had already picked up the seat and placed it in front of the table.Gu Zhen said again: "Shuangde, there is nothing wrong here, you can go down!"

Chen Shuangde agreed, before going downstairs, the old man with yellow hair smiled and said, "Is this the new buddy of my good grandson? You are really good, come, grandpa will reward you with a copper coin." After finishing speaking, he reached out his hand slowly. In his arms, he took out a blued copper coin.

Just as Chen Shuangde was about to reach out his hand, Gu Zhen raised his eyebrows sharply and said sharply: "Win Wancheng, do you still want money?" Shuangde didn't know that he turned around before the gate of hell, stretched his hand halfway, and was very embarrassed, suddenly heard Gu Zhen laughing and said: "Shuangde, this old senior is teasing you, why don't you hurry up?"

Ying Wancheng heard the words, turned his cloudy old eyes, and suddenly saw Lu Jian let out a breath, and his body relaxed, he was secretly startled: "What is the origin of this kid, he can see the murderous intent of this old man."

After pondering for a while, he sat down and smiled, "My dear grandson, you are really capable. Even the Nine Nether Prisons can't trap you. It's the old saying, what's it called? Yes, salted fish turned over. Oh, if It’s not me, grandpa, the world is full of excitement again.” Gu Zhen smiled and said, “If you win grandpa’s words, you’re sure of me?”

"How dare you cross the Flame Mountain without a plantain fan?" Ying Wancheng said with a chuckle, "If you want to hate it, hate yourself for not practicing martial arts. If you have half the abilities of Gu Shentong, how dare you send an old bone like Grandpa to your door toss?"

Gu Zhen said: "I have always admired Grandpa Ying's 'Turtle Mirror' supernatural power. I think back when I caught Zhou..." Before he finished speaking, Ying Wancheng snorted coldly and said, "It's been so many years, what else can I say? of?"

Gu Zhen smiled and said, "My friend hasn't heard of such an interesting thing. Lu Jian, do you want to hear it?" Lu Jian said, "What happened when you were a child? It's good to hear it." Ying Wancheng snorted, The old face darkened.

Gu Zhen drank a bowl of wine and said with a leisurely smile: "Not long after I was born, my father threw a lot of things for me to catch. He said that if he caught something, he would definitely have a destiny with that thing in the future. Grasp the sword and follow the martial arts. But this Grandpa Ying has a powerful skill called "Turtle Mirror", which can not only guess the opponent's mind, but also the milk baby's mind. He bet with my father at that time, saying It's me who will definitely get the abacus, and the bet is 100 taels of gold, right, to win Grandpa?"

Ying Wancheng blew his beard, stared and said: "So what? Didn't you catch the abacus?" Gu Zhen smiled and said: "I did catch the abacus, so Grandpa Ying's 'turtle mirror' supernatural power is not blown out. However, Who won the 100 taels of gold?"

Ying Wancheng's facial muscles twitched, his expression was very distressed, and he said resentfully: "Your father won." Gu Zhen said with a smile: "Lu Jian, guess, why did Grandpa Ying lose the gold when he guessed the abacus right? "Lu Jian thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "I can't guess."

"It's simple." Gu Zhen said lightly, "Because he only guessed half of it right." Lu Jian asked in surprise, "How do you say?" Gu Zhen said, "Ordinary children grasp Zhou with one hand, but I do it with both hands." , the right hand grasped the abacus, but the left hand grasped a toy wooden boat. Because the two hands were in no particular order, winning grandpa with common sense, naturally only guessed half correctly, and lost 100 taels of golden gold."

Ying Wancheng became irritable when he heard that, he paused with the bamboo stick, and said sharply: "What about Chen Guzi's rotten sesame seeds, can you also talk about it?"

"Grandpa Ying will be mistaken." Gu Zhen giggled, "I said this not to reminisce, but to let you know that from that day on, I will be your 'golden turtle' Ying Wancheng's nemesis, unless you Kill me as soon as we meet, or you will definitely have bad luck."

Ying Wancheng narrowed his old eyes, looked him over carefully, and suddenly smiled and said, "Grandpa is old, he can't drink wine, he can't eat meat, even if he looks at beautiful women, he has no interest. Now he only loves some yellow and white things. You are the most obedient grandson of this thing, and it is too late for grandpa to like you, so how can he be willing to kill you?" Gu Zhen smiled and said, "How much do you want?"

"Grandpa is the least greedy." Ying Wancheng sighed, "Grandpa wants ten thousand taels of gold or ten dendrobiums of pearls. Grandpa only wants an emerald ring. If you give it to me, I will let you go at the risk of the world." .”

"What do I think is a good thing?" Gu Zhen laughed dumbly, "Emerald rings are very easy, I'll just write a note to Wu Langyue, you go to his jewelry store to pick out as many as you want."

Ying Wancheng narrowed his eyes, smiled grimly, and revealed a dark mouth: "Good grandson, you know that grandpa doesn't want these. There is only one ring in the world that grandpa wants, and that is the emerald ring-three blood lines, The God of Wealth, Tongbao, commands the world."

"Is there such a baby?" Gu Zhen smiled, "I've never heard of it!"

"Nonsense!" Ying Wancheng slapped the bamboo stick hard, piercing through the five-inch plank, "Without the ring of the God of Wealth, at your age, how can you command the world's rich merchants and mobilize the world's wealth?"

In the midst of all this, Ying Wancheng's old eyes were cloudless and as clear as ice and snow, and two cold lights approached him.Gu Zhen's eyes were also frighteningly bright, and they looked at each other, as if struck by lightning, Lu Jian's body was cold and his body tensed up.

Suddenly, Gu Zhen smiled again, this smile eased the atmosphere.He said leisurely: "Grandpa Ying, you have the supernatural power of 'turtle mirror', why don't you take a picture in my heart? You can tell if you have the ring of the God of Wealth or not?"

Ying Wancheng shook his head and said, "Good grandson, you know very well that the 'turtle mirror' can only reflect the present, not the past, and can only guess your current thoughts, but cannot know your memory. What's more, in the world, people who can restrain their memory , There are very few people who don’t think about it, and you are one of them, good grandson. Grandpa has not been fooled by you once or twice. Fortunately, I was fooled last time and learned once. You want to fool me this time, haha, That's unthinkable."

Gu Zhen smiled, poured the wine into a bowl, and drank it all in one gulp. He had already drank ten bowls of aged wine, but his eyes became brighter the more he drank.

"Grandpa Win," Gu Zhen said suddenly, "Let's gamble once, if you win, I will give you a ring; if I win, you let me go." Winning Wancheng rolled his eyes: "What bet?" Literally: "Just bet on 'Golden Turtle Three Passes'."

Ying Wancheng squinted his eyes and said with a smile, "Okay, if you can break my 'Three Passes', Grandpa won't have the face to embarrass you."

Gu Zhen said: "Then bet on the first hurdle first: Shefu. I am the bait, you are the hook." Ying Wancheng was stunned, and said, "Bait? Hook? What does this have to do with Shefu?" Zhen smiled without saying a word, Ying Wancheng felt strange, using the "turtle mirror" to observe, Gu Zhen's thoughts went elsewhere, he couldn't help but sneered, and said: "My dear grandson, will you go first or should I go first?"

Gu Zhen said: "I'll go first." Ying Wancheng turned his back and turned the "Turtle Mirror" to observe silently, but when he felt that Gu Zhen had buckled a Shuanglu chess piece under the bowl, he turned his head and said with a smile: "Okay Now, Grandpa Ying, what are you shooting under this wine bowl?" Ying Wancheng turned to stare at the bowl, squinted and said, "It must be a backgammon piece." Gu Zhen smiled slightly, lifted the wine bowl, Ying Wancheng Unconsciously, he was stunned, it was not a chess piece, but a dice that fell under the Ganqing bowl.

As soon as he changed his mind, he shouted sharply: "Stinky boy, you are cheating!" Gu Zhen laughed and said, "How can I cheat?" Ying Wancheng said angrily, "I shot you, but not him." Pointing at Lu Jian, "My dear grandson, you know that Grandpa's 'Turtle Mirror' can only guess one person's mind and can't spy on two people at the same time, so you put the chess piece into the bowl first, then turn your head away and let this kid take care of you." If the chess pieces in the bowl are replaced with dice, the 'turtle mirror' can only reveal your thoughts, you don't even know what he changed, and the 'turtle mirror' can't reveal itself."

Gu Zhen and Lu Jian looked at each other, and said with a smile: "Grandpa Ying is right. What evidence do you have to prove that he changed the dice? Could it be that the 'Turtle Mirror' magical power made a mistake?"

Ying Wancheng couldn't help being silent, it was only because of his carelessness, he knew that the two of them were playing tricks, but he didn't hold the evidence, for a moment of silence, he could only say: "Okay, it's my turn. If you can't guess, this round will only be considered a tie. Hmph, both of you turn your heads away."

Gu and Lu turned their heads according to the words, and suddenly heard Ying Wancheng say: "Turn around." They turned around, but saw a wine bowl buckled in front of Ying Wancheng.Gu Zhen frowned slightly, then looked at Lu Jian again, and saw that his eyes were closed, his hands were pressed against the table, and suddenly he raised his left hand and swayed gently, Gu Zhen had a thought, and blurted out: "The bowl is empty, there is nothing. "

Ying Wancheng's expression changed drastically, Gu Zhen looked at his expression, laughed and said: "What, did I hit it?" You have broken the pass, now it is the second pass: hiding things." After that, he took out a copper coin, folded it in half, and handed the half to Gu Zhen, saying: "Hide this half of the copper coin on your body, if you leave If you die, you will lose."

Gu Zhen put the money on the table, shook his head and said: "No need, no matter where I hide, I can't escape your 'turtle mirror'. I just hope to win this round, and I just need to guess where Grandpa Ying is hiding." .”

Ying Wancheng didn't expect him to do this, he was slightly surprised, and seeing that he was full of confidence, he couldn't help wondering, so he held the remaining half of the copper coin in his hand, and when he opened his hand, the copper coin disappeared.Seeing this, Lu Jian pressed his hands on the table, and the power of robbery was transmitted along the legs of the table, and then passed to Ying Wancheng's feet through the floor. The sole of his left foot.Just as he was trying to hint at Gu Zhen, Ying Wancheng raised his eyebrows and looked at him fiercely.

When Gu Zhen took a look, he knew that Ying Wancheng was suspicious. This time, he used the "turtle mirror" on Lu Jian, and said with a quick smile, "Grandpa Ying, what do you think my friend is doing? Gu is the one who bet against you three times." Zhen."

Ying Wancheng snorted coldly, and said, "I know what bait is and what is hook. My dear grandson, your bait is just for show, but it's this kid who really fights with me. Oh, I'm a little strange, How does he know what the old man is thinking? Could it be that he also practiced the 'Turtle Mirror'?" Just as he finished speaking, the bamboo stick suddenly stabbed at Lu Jian. The location is his "Qimen" acupoint.

Lu Jianxian's pulse was restrained, and the power of the hidden vein surged and transformed into internal force, which opened the pulse again.Winning Wancheng Fang was about to withdraw his staff, but suddenly he saw Lu Jian's stagnation, hooking in with his left hand, and sending his right fist straight, with a surge of strength.

Ying Wancheng was caught off guard, he stopped with his stick, he felt the tiger's mouth was hot, the green bamboo stick almost jumped out of his palm, he couldn't help jumping back, only then did he lose the strength of the "half-lion" punch, he was horrified in his heart, and shouted sharply: "Good boy, are you a robber?"

Lu Jian was also shocked when he broke his secret.Suddenly Gu Zhen clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Grandpa Ying has a good opinion." Ying Wancheng was startled and said, "Good grandson, are you the robber of this kid?" Gu Zhen smiled and said: "I said no, do you believe it, Grandpa? "His words were ambiguous, and Ying Wancheng became more and more suspicious. He raised his hand suddenly, and the bamboo stick pierced Lu Jian's eyebrows.He expected the enemy to take the initiative, but Lu Jian couldn't dodge in time, so he simply made a "white hair look", instead of retreating, he advanced and greeted him with his head.There is a saying in the Buddhist scriptures: "The Tathagata puts the light of the white hair between the eyebrows, illuminating the eight thousand worlds in the east, and it is everywhere." Therefore, this appearance can gather the divine power of the whole body between the eyebrows, and win ten thousand cities with a single stick, like The medium pig iron couldn't be poked in.

Although Ying Wancheng has the ability to predict the enemy, he did not expect that Lu Jian would be able to block the weapon with his flesh and blood, and the staff could not be retracted. Lu Jian endured the sharp pain between his brows, changed the "faces of the heavens", and stretched out his hands together. The head of the stick caught it.

Ying Wancheng yelled, and spread the force on the bamboo. The bamboo stick buzzed and trembled violently. Lu Jian's hands seemed to have been electrocuted, but he struck so fast that he was shaken off. The flaws in the waist and legs were slightly exposed, and the "Ma Wangxiang" kicked out in a sudden change.Lifting the legs and feet, the Jieli of the right hand senses various situations in Ying Wancheng's body through the bamboo stick. If Lu Jian's kick was solid, he would have been pierced through his calf by his five fingers that were as sharp as a sword.

With just a flash of this thought, Lu Jian changed from "horse king appearance" to "great self-comfort appearance". ", with the momentum of breaking bamboo, he chopped it out with all his strength.

This strong wind blows across the building, even if Ying Wancheng expected it, he couldn't avoid it, so he had to block it with his palm.When the two palms were handed over, there was a strong wind, and a blush flashed across Ying Wancheng's wrinkled face.However, Lu Jian felt chest tightness and heartbeat, and suddenly found that Ying Wancheng's "Hand Taiyang Small Intestine Meridian" Qi mechanism had changed. The last move was to prick his "Quchi" acupoint through his index finger. The left hand changed into a "multi-headed snake", turning and twisting, twisting and twisting the five fingers that won Wancheng.Sensing Lu Jian's intentions, Ying Wancheng was startled and angry, and had no choice but to withdraw his strength and change his moves, but when he changed, so did Lu Jian.

For a while, the two of them each held one end of a bamboo stick, and Ying Wancheng used the "turtle mirror" magical power to read Lu Jian's mind, but as long as he made a move, Lu Jian could use the bamboo stick to sense the direction of his strength through the bamboo stick. Therefore, it is difficult to adapt to each other.Ying Wancheng felt that Lu Jian's mind had changed, and he changed his tactics in a hurry, but his inner breath was quick to move, and Lu Jian knew that such a repeated situation could not be achieved.
