Chapter 36: Gambler
A moment of effort.
Cao and Fan arrived at the core area of ??Banshan Shifang through the dense stone forest.
"Is it a lake?"
"Brother Cao, take a closer look."
"Huh, that's not right..."
The center of the stone workshop is a lake, on which there are waterfowl perched or looking for food, a peaceful and comfortable scene...
"This is a fantasy!"
Cao Cuo's spiritual sense was strong and he soon discovered that something was wrong here. The lake was too inconsistent with the surrounding scenery, and the lake was so big, how could it appear in the stone workshop?
There is always a sense of space confusion.
"break!"
Under the action of God's eyes blessed by the heart chakra, Cao Cuo was able to break through the illusion here.
The illusion is broken.
What I saw was a stone garden. The mountains and rivers in the stone garden are scattered, and all kinds of strange stones are distributed in the garden like various large and small rockeries.
The previous illusion was transformed by the blue smoke sprayed by a piece of bluestone. There are countless holes all over the body of the bluestone, and blue smoke billows out of it.
This stone is only the size of a human head, but it is placed in the pool in the middle of the stone garden.
"Brother Cao! You... you are, you just broke through the illusion?"
Fan Buchou was secretly surprised when he noticed the light in Cao Cuo's eyes.
Although this illusion has not been opened with all its strength, it is not something that can be explored in the ordinary early stage of foundation establishment. I can not be affected by the secret treasure of my ancestors.
It seems that Brother Cao is not an ordinary casual cultivator either. Judging from the expression of divine light in his eyes, it is obvious that he possesses a powerful spiritual esoteric technique.
Cao Cuo withdrew his heart chakra eyes, and explained casually:
"Once in a while, I got a fine mystic technique, but I was just lucky enough to break through the illusion here."
Fan Buchou didn't ask too many questions, and confirmed his identity with the guard at the gate of Shiyuan. novE-Lb/In
After he showed a token, the guard took out another pair of tokens, and under the action of the two tokens, Qingyan Illusion released a hole:
"Two distinguished guests, please come inside!"
Fan Buchou took Cao Cuo into the stone garden and explained:
"This is the core of Banshan Shifang called Banshan Stone Garden. The garden is full of Longkeng stone materials. Guests who want to come here need to spend more than [-] talismans outside, and VIPs who want to bring friends in need to spend More than [-] talisman coins."
"The piece in the middle of the stone workshop is called the blue mirage, which was placed here by the owner of the stone workshop. The power of the illusion produced is comparable to a magic weapon. According to some masters of Xiangshi, there must be a god in this piece of blue mirage. Jane.
It's a pity that in this garden, only the blue mirage is not for sale, it is the treasure of the garden in the half-mountain stone garden, it's a pity, it's a pity..."
"Brother Fan, you really..."
Cao Cuo was speechless for a moment when Fan Buchou looked as if he wanted to cut open the treasure of his family's town and garden on the spot.
Entering the stone garden, a young girl in green clothes in the garden saw Fan Buchou's eyes lit up, and happily greeted her and said:
"Senior Fan, are you here again?"
Fan Buchou was also unassuming, and teased her a few words, and then introduced each other:
"Qingyi, this is Brother Cao, my nobleman"
"Brother Cao, this little girl Qingyi is the niece of the owner of Banshan Shifang. Her status is not low, and she cannot be regarded as an ordinary Qi training practitioner."
Cao Cuo and the little girl greeted each other, and he could tell that the little girl named Qingyi was obviously interested in Fan Buchou.
But Fan Buchou didn't know whether he was being slow or refusing, he was completely unclear.
Fan Buchou cheerfully pointed at the stones in the mid-mountain stone garden, and said boldly: "Qingyi, Brother Cao and I must take some rare treasures from your garden today."
Qingyi covered her mouth and snickered, apparently it wasn't the first time she had seen Fan Buchou like this.
Is it...
Is there something in this fairy peach stone that has the same effect as the bone-eroding golden centipede?
"Peach Blossom Immortal under the Peach Blossom Forest, Peach Blossom Immortal grows peach stones."
"Xiantao Stone, price: [-] talisman coins."
Cao Cuo got closer.
The symbiotic green locust clearly told him that the things in this stone were useful to them, so he no longer hesitated and took note of this stone.
After a little more calculation, it was almost time for a stick of incense, so I went straight back to the place where I started, planning to wait for Fan Buchou to come back.
It didn't take long.
"Brother Cao!"
Cao Cuo saw Fan Buchou running over sweating profusely, with a look of excitement on his face, excitedly said:
"Brother Cao! I just saw a peerless strange stone. It looks like a fairy. Its talent is unsurpassed. It is comparable to a fairy stone..."
"boom!"
Fan Buchou is short in stature...
"Fan...Brother Fan, slow down!"
Cao wrongly helped Fan Buchou who was staggering. Just now, the mana of the cultivator who established the foundation was out of breath, and he stepped on the stone slab on the ground.
He almost fell, but fortunately he was supported, otherwise it must have become an anecdote in the stone garden.
Fan Buchou pulled out his muddy leg and said excitedly, without caring:
"Just now Qingyi took me to see the stones in the warehouse, and those stones are all new stones that haven't been put on sale yet."
"It is said that the stone garden was personally escorted by the owner of Banshan. I didn't expect much until I saw a strange stone in it."
"It's called: Fairy Lingbo..."
"Its shape is as light as a frightened bird, as graceful as a wandering dragon, with its radiant chrysanthemums and luxuriant spring pines. It seems as if the moon is covered by light clouds, and the snow flutters like the flowing wind..."
Cao Cuo stopped Fan Buchou from eloquently, advised him to calm down, and asked casually, "Since it was not displayed in the warehouse, is there a price for that strange stone?"
Fan Buchou lost his excitement, his face turned red with embarrassment, and he hesitated, "Brother Cao, just now..."
"The [-] talisman money I promised to lend you, it seems that I can only take out [-] talisman money now, and the rest may have to be repaid to you next time..."
"I only brought 20 talismans today, and the price of Fairy Lingbo is 18 talismans, and Qingyi gave me a discount."
Cao Miss smiled and said: "I'm just worried that you won't be able to afford that strange stone, but mine doesn't matter, not to mention that the stone I just picked only costs [-] talismans, so you don't have to worry about it. "
Fan Buchou let go of his hanging heart, his character was such that he would fulfill all the promises he made.
Today, he was also taken by that stone, but if Cao Cuo had already chosen more than [-] stones, then he had no choice but to give up...
No, he could only let go of his old face and ask Qingyi to borrow a sum of money to buy two strange stones.
Fortunately, I, Fan, have saved my old face.
Fan Buchou was relieved, and his old ways germinated. He pulled Cao Cuo while walking and said, "Brother Cao, let's go and see the peerless strange stone I chose first, and let you see what a peerless fairy posture is..."
In a newly built stone scene, the ground is surrounded by clouds and mist, like a fairyland.
A human-shaped stone was wrapped in a white cloth and placed in the middle of the stone scene, where Qingyi was waiting for the two of them.
Fan Buchou dragged Cao Cuo here, and said very piously: "I specially asked Qingyi to place the strange stones in the stone scene, so that I can dissect the stones and take out the rare treasures in her most beautiful moment.
This is my respect for strange stones, and it is also my way of betting on stones..."
Cao Cuo was wrong, and joked: "Brother Fan's way of betting on stones is to regard stones as life, and gambling as Tao, not to say that there is no one before, but only those who come from later generations. I should also appreciate your sincerity in seeking Tao. Why don't you, Brother Fan?" To sum up my own gamblers..."
"Cough! It's the "Book of Stones" written by the way of betting on stones, and it may be passed down to future generations, so I can give you some pointers..."
Fan Buchou's eyes were bright, he didn't pay attention to Cao Cuo's tone and the teasing in his words, excitedly said: "Brother Cao is not only my nobleman, but also my confidant."
"It's not like that good-for-nothing drunkard Pei who doesn't know how to respect my way of life and calls me a good-for-nothing gambler."
"Brother Cao, you still understand me! I will definitely write this "Book of Stones" well, and show future generations the breadth of my stone avenue. Then I will ask Brother Cao to write a preface for me. Don't refuse, don't refuse. decline..."
"Impossible...I really dare not be..."
Cao Cuo couldn't tell whether Fan Buchou was taking revenge or if he really thought so, so he said several times that he didn't dare to take it seriously.
