Chapter 151: Intermission
Xiao Yan looked up at the sky, and couldn't help rubbing his temples, according to his way of walking, he couldn't eat today's breakfast, it is estimated that he should eat lunch directly, maybe even lunch will be delayed, Xiao Yan really doesn't know, how can he say it with this mouth?
"Huh? Little Brother Yan, what's wrong with you? Why don't you speak? Huangfu Nan looked at Xiao Yan with an innocent face.
You've got to make me say that, too! When Xiao Yan came to his mouth, he swallowed it back stiffly, and finally uttered three words helplessly.
"I ...... Hungry! ”
Hearing Xiao Yan say that he was hungry, Huangfu Nan's eyes brightened, and he pulled Xiao Yan and ran forward, "Say it earlier!" I knew you were hungry, so let's go to the best breakfast in the world, and the breakfast is the best!
Now this day, I guess it's coming, I can only have lunch, but it doesn't matter if it's lunch, I know where the best lunch is! Come with me, yes! ”
Running all the way, he finally rushed to the market before the end of lunch, although it was now a hot noon, but there were not many pedestrians on the road, Xiao Yan was pulled by Huangfu Nan to shuttle through this dense crowd, and finally, stopped in front of a seemingly ancient gatehouse.
"Drunken Immortal Building?" Xiao Yan looked at the plaque on the gatehouse and said that this was the first time he had come here, and he was not very familiar with everything around him, but since it was Huangfu Nan who brought him here, it should not be bad.
"Let's go, don't look at it, I'm dying of hunger!" After speaking, Huang Fu Nan continued to pull Xiao Yan inside.
When the shopkeeper saw the two of them coming in, he immediately greeted him warmly, "Young Master Huangfu, you are here, please upstairs!" Is it still the old rule? ”
"Well, the old rules! Hurry up, we're all starving! ”
"Okay!"
Xiao Yan followed Huangfu south upstairs and entered a private room, and it didn't take long for one dish after another to be placed on the table, and there was almost no more than one large round table.
Looking at this table of rich meals, Xiao Yan couldn't help but be stunned, so much, the two of them, can they eat it? I was really speechless for Huang Funan's picky mouth, I really don't know whether to scold him, waste it, or praise him, I can let myself eat such a hearty lunch, Rao is a person who doesn't have too many requirements for food, he can't help but drool a little.
"Hmm...... Little Brother Yan, eat quickly, don't be restrained, their food here is delicious...... Listen to me, don't ...... Yesterday, ah....... ”
Huang Fu Nan started his talk again, still talking while eating, Xiao Yan really wanted to say, so many delicacies, how can you not stop your mouth!
After eating, as soon as I went downstairs, the shopkeeper greeted me again, handed a small low-level ring to Huang Fu Nan with both hands, Huang Fu Nan took it casually, and pulled Xiao Yan out, there is no need to compete these days, the second competition is scheduled for three days later, so there are a lot of people on the street these days.
"Take a look, take a look, the analysis of the questions of the previous Taoist competitions, as well as the guessing questions carried out by professionals, only sell one hundred gold coins, as long as one hundred gold coins, the next champion is you!"
"The Taoist contest contestants, all Dan Taoists, instrument Taoists, as long as they participate, they have detailed information, know themselves and know their opponents, in order to win a hundred battles!"
"Sell all kinds of elixirs! Take your pre-match strength one step further! ”
……
"It's so lively!" Xiao Yan sighed.
"That is, after every game, there will be all kinds of small traders and vendors who come out to sell, but most of these are fake, used to coax those who don't know anything and come to the competition for the first time, and the real masters will not buy these things."
Huang Funan said disdainfully, but as soon as he finished speaking, he dragged Xiao Yan to the place with the most people.
"Look, at present, among the Dan Daoists, there is still the highest chance of winning in the world!"
"That's right, he's the apprentice of Emperor Dan!"
"Why is this male and female tied for second place, can't even the people of Wanhualou tell which of them is stronger and which is weak?"
"What do you know, this is Wanhualou who doesn't want to provoke that crazy woman! You haven't looked at the odds, the odds of this male are obviously much lower than the female ones! ”
"Who is this rock owl, who can actually rank at the top of the list of Daoist priests? Could it be that this is a disciple of a hidden family? ”
"I don't know, it is said that this rock owl is arrogant and ruthless, and he dares to choose Wanjia as a backing, isn't this blatantly arguing with the other three major families? and also directly slapped Kunlun Palace in the face, and the limelight overshadowed Liu Ze, the proud disciple of Kunlun Palace! ”
"Can the people of Kunlun Palace let him go?"
"This is not for the sake of the face of the Taoist Conference, I didn't do it for the time being, and when the competition is over, he can bear it!"
"So that's the case, no wonder although he is the first, the odds are amazingly high!"
……
"Little Brother Yan, look, you are the first!"
Huang Fu Nan and Xiao Yan were not easy to squeeze to the front, Huang Fu Nan pointed to one of the lists and said.
"Hmm." Xiao Yan replied casually, his eyes had already drifted to another list.
1st place: Yu Mo
2nd place: Male and female
Third place: Yue Yuhang
……
1,000th place: open
Really! Things developed similarly to what Xiao Yan thought, but he didn't expect that he didn't even enter the top 1,000, but wasn't this exactly what he intended?
"Where are you pulling me?"
Xiao Yan also wanted to take a look at the list of Daoist priests, but he was dragged away by Huangfu Nan.
Syllable!
The two came to a counter, and Huang Funan took out a money bag from his arms and put it on the counter proudly.
"I'll buy a rock owl!"
The shopkeeper opened the money bag and looked at it, his eyes lit up, "This ...... Are you sure you have to buy a rock owl? ”
"yes, any questions?"
"That little one has to make it clear to you first, the odds of the rock owl are one hundred to one, are you sure you still want to buy him?"
"One to a hundred!!" Huang Funan asked in surprise, "He is the top of the list, how can the odds be so high?" Are you mistaken? ”
"I'm not mistaken, it's that high." Then the shopkeeper looked left and right, and then said in a low voice.
"Seeing that you are so generous, I will tell you a secret, according to reliable sources, this rock owl offended Kunlun Palace for unknown reasons, so the judges of the next round of competition will deliberately embarrass him, so he will definitely not pass the next game! I advise you to buy someone else instead! ”
Hearing this, Xiao Yan and Huang Fu Nan were stunned, and Huang Fu Nan turned his head to look at Xiao Yan.
"This ...... Isn't the Taoist conference known as fair and just? How can you still stumble on people in private? ”
"Who knows? How can we know about this? So you see...... Do you want to switch to someone else? ”
"Nope! I'll buy him! I'm going to take a gamble! ”
Seeing that the persuasion was fruitless, the shopkeeper had no choice but to shake his head and say, "Okay, since you insist on buying it, I won't say more." ”
"One hundred taels of gold, bet on the rock owl, this is your voucher, please take it!"
Then the shopkeeper looked at Xiao Yan who was standing behind and asked, "This guest officer, do you want to buy a rock owl too?" ”
Xiao Yan hesitated for a moment and asked, "That...... Who is not on the list...... Is it possible to buy it? ”
As soon as Xiao Yan said this, the shopkeeper's eyes widened, and then he thought of something and quickly calmed down.
"Of course you can, but their odds will be very high, generally except for themselves and their relatives, no one wants to waste this money, I don't know, the one you want to buy is ......."
"It's just a friend, I don't know what the odds are?" Xiao Yan didn't want to reveal too much, he knew that the people who could be in this place were all human spirits.
"Well, if you're not on the list, the odds are all the same, one to one hundred."
One to 100!
This person who is not on the list actually has the same odds as Rock Owl! It seems that in the next game, the rock owl is really more auspicious.
"I wonder how much you're going to buy?"
Speaking of money, Xiao Yan was suddenly stunned, after these days of spending, he seemed to ...... There wasn't much money left...... so he poured out all the gold coins in his pocket.
Looking at the dozen or so dismal gold coins on the counter, Xiao Yan said embarrassedly, "Uh...... That's it, I'll buy them all. ”
"Guest, I'm sorry, our minimum bet here is one hundred gold coins!"
"Uh......" Xiao Yan nodded embarrassedly, silently took back the dozen or so gold coins on the counter in the money bag, thinking about where to change some money to spend, and walked towards the door with his feet.
