Old Man Gu nodded to Mo Buping to show encouragement. Mo Buping asked, "We have made an appointment to go on a boat trip to Mochou Lake to analyze tomorrow's battle situation. Senior Gu, won't you go with us?"
"You guys go ahead, I have something to do and I'll be there later."
Old Man Gu went to an inn outside Shengqi Tower and came to a guest room that he had booked three days ago. He checked the defensive talisman hidden on the door lintel and found that everything was as before, so he pushed the door in and sat silently at the table. waiting.
About an hour later, he arrived at the people he was waiting for. There were four monks in total, the leader was a great mage, and the remaining three were all golden elixirs. The four of them have ordinary faces, and they are the kind of people who are difficult to recall clearly unless they are particularly familiar with them.
Although they look ordinary, their abilities are extraordinary. They are all dead men who have been trained by Old Man Gu for 20 years. He personally trained the skills and prepared suitable magic weapons for them, allowing him to practice the Four Elephants Combined Attack technique for ten years. , was extremely powerful during the assassination. He once ambushed a master in a certain pavilion five years ago without anyone knowing about it. The name of that master is still on the missing list of Dongji Pavilion, and the sect is still suffering. wait for news.
With such a lineup, it is simply a piece of cake to assassinate a newly imprisoned Archmage!
However, what seemed to be an easy task failed today. Seeing the expressions of these people, Old Man Gu knew the result.
"Sit down. What's going on?"
The leading mage sat down and said, "No one is here. I don't know where he went."
Old man Gu was a little surprised: "I saw him walking back."
"I don't know, I just didn't see anyone. I asked Xiao Si to look for him on the way, but I didn't see him. I don't know where he went temporarily, or he took another way back to Baoyue Villa, just like last time at the entrance of Wuyi Alley. Same."
"It shouldn't be. This time is different from Wuyi Alley. It's uncertain whether he can enter Wuyi Alley or not. But this time he checked three days in advance. This is the road he takes every time he goes back ¡Could it be that you were exposed?¡±
"We were not exposed. We immediately changed places before waiting for him, and we also deliberately paid attention to the ambush point. After waiting for so long, we did not see any sign that he brought people back to search."
¡°That means he escaped temporarily because of something?
"should be."
Old man Gu thought for a moment and said, "It doesn't matter. I'll tell you when I'm sure next time. You guys should go back quickly."
The leading mage hesitated and said: "Teacher, do you really want to kill him?"
Old man Gu asked: "What do you mean?"
"Does the two mistakes mean that he is a person favored by God? I heard that he can predict severe droughts and pray for rain and snow"
Old Man Gu said angrily: "Why is he favored by God? Let me tell you, he predicted the drought because the plum blossoms were easy to count given by Patriarch Longyang. He lost three years of his life because of this! If he is really favored by God, can he lose his life? And, then The rain and snow were not prayed for by him, it was just a coincidence! He had expressed this in private many times, otherwise why hadn't he been asked to pray for rain for a whole year? Why hadn't he been asked to go when there was a drought in northern Shanxi last year? You don¡¯t know the things. From my point of view, you have read too many journals. You have to have the most basic judgment on what you can and cannot believe!¡±
The great mage nodded slowly, and he and the other three junior brothers breathed a sigh of relief: "When the teacher said this, we feel much more relieved."
Old Man Gu said with some sadness: "Having said this, I still want to remind you to keep one thing in mind. The family business that our masters and apprentices have worked so hard to build is about to be destroyed! Zhao Zhiran, Wei Chaozong, Dongfang Li, Even Qiu Yunqing and Zhuo Yunfeng, each one of them, is our great enemy! Removing these people may not save Xiu'an, but it may bring about a turn for the better. Not to mention Qiu Yunqing and Zhuo Yunfeng, but other The three must be killed as soon as possible, and Zhao Zhiran is the top priority among them! Last year, I judged that he might harm us and other important things, so I returned to the capital. Unfortunately, I was too cautious and failed to take action early, which led to today's great changes "
After some admonishment, Old Man Gu ordered the gathering point to be abandoned and to find another inn.
Before parting, several disciples asked one after another: "Teacher, did you buy the lottery tickets for us?"
Old Man Gu said: "I bought it, why are you panicking! I will cash it out for you when you win. I'll say it again, you need to sign to buy a lottery ticket, so don't buy it privately."
Several disciples agreed and parted ways with each other. Old Man Gu wandered to the Mochou Lake. After walking along the shore for a while, he saw the boat that Mo Bu and others were riding on.
After boarding the boat, he immediately joined the heated debate and put forward his prediction for tomorrow's battle.
"I have to admit that this small circle's prediction level for the training ball competition is quite accurate."?You can basically support yourself by buying lottery tickets and live a relatively comfortable life. This shows that the winning rate is high.
This was fully proved in the first round of the competition the next day. The five people purchased a thousand bet combinations in total, each spending twenty taels of grain silver. The winning rate was generally over 15%, among which Mo Buping Reached 20%.
A total of one hundred and fifty-seven taels were redeemed. Including Mo Buping and Old Man Gu, everyone made a profit of more than twenty-five taels, and only one person lost five taels.
"If a small casual cultivator like Mo Buping can earn ten or twenty taels in one period, it will be five or six hundred taels or even seven or eight hundred taels in a year. This is enough to ensure their comfortable life of practice. What's more, there is also a chance of winning the heavenly prize, which is really indescribably satisfying.
After the prize redemption was completed, everyone exchanged their experiences. Two of them were frequent visitors to gambling houses in Beijing. They both said that they have stopped going to gambling houses after playing the lottery. Not only did they feel refreshed, but their families also supported them.
Old Man Gu also smiled and sighed: "I used to be fond of gambling and lost countless silver coins. Although buying lottery tickets is only a small amount of money, it is more meaningful than simply playing in a gambling house. The knowledge involved is really broad and profound. I have studied it all my life. I don¡¯t know, so I stopped gambling. Once I study it thoroughly, and with a little luck, I can win ten thousand taels with one bet, which is a hundred times better than a gambling house!¡±
Several people talked about the lottery ticket that attracted the most attention in this period, but it did not bring good news to everyone. They won the lottery, but it was not a heavenly prize, a ground prize, or a mysterious prize, but a space prize. .
After this year's competition was changed from the top eight to the top ten, each group has one more game, and the combination number has been increased from twelve to fifteen. The difficulty has increased, but the awards have also added a Yu Award, which is the Human Award. Previously, after this issue was opened, it could be exchanged for one, two or six dollars.
The Yu Prize also means that four out of fifteen events were guessed wrong. Someone immediately said in disappointment: "It's still Abbot Zhao, and it's the general consultant of the organizing committee. It's not as good as me to buy a lottery ticket. I will go blind and buy it with him." What the hell!"
Mo Buping said: "I'm quite happy. Just winning a prize shows that there is no shady secrets in the practice ball competition. For lottery players like me, nothing is more important than a benign competition."
Old Man Gu also chuckled: "It's not bad to win one, two or six dollars. In fact, if you think about it carefully, if you really win the heavenly prize, how much will you get? I heard that more people will buy this year. Assuming the lottery pool of the heavenly prize It has increased to 20,000 silver, but how much can you get? Yesterday, just you and I were present, but more than a hundred people bought this bet. How long did this news spread while you and I were away? How many people were there? Will you buy this bet after hearing the news? So even if you win the heavenly prize, it will be the most amazing heavenly prize in history, and you won't get dozens of taels of silver."
Several people thought the same thing and immediately became happy. Old Man Gu added: "Xiao Mo is right. For us, the most important thing is that there is no shady story. Thinking back to the past when I participated in gambling, why did I lose everything? Is that true? Black! It's a pity that I didn't think about it at the time I thought that we should think of a way to write a couplet or something, with good words in short, and send it to Xiangluxuan to inform Abbot Zhao and Liyuan. We would like to express our sincere gratitude, and also create momentum for the competition to become more and more popular. We would like to do our best!"
