Outside a gambling house in Spring City.The lights are dim, flickering on and off.The white moonlight shone down, and a man in a black robe sat on the steps outside the gambling house.He sat motionless, like a dark stone statue.Look closely.Through the moonlight and the dim light, you can see his hand hidden in the black robe, playing with a copper coin.There were also two cloth bags beside him, bulging, and I don't know what was stuffed inside.A gust of wind blew and blew the long hair on his forehead.It was an unusually pale, bloodless face of a dead man.Two men walked out of the gambling house with a scolding slur."
Zhente Niang's bad luck is all lost!""
I should look at the yellow calendar when I go out today!""
I should have known that I should have gone to Lao Wang's house and washed my hands with his golden basin!""
Who, don't get in the way, get out of the way!"
They were in a terrible mood, the road was blocked, and they kicked the black-robed man very irritably.The black-robed man was unmoved.Don't resist, don't get angry, don't look up.He opened a cloth bag to reveal a corner filled with gold, silver, and silver tickets."
Bet?"
The black-robed man closed the bag: "The win is yours." ”He spoke a little as if he had something in his mouth, but he could hear the meaning clearly.The two gamblers rolled their eyes and hesitated for a moment, "How to bet?"
”"Guess the head!"
The black-robed man threw out the copper coin in his hand."
Good!"
One of the gamblers did not hesitate and directly agreed.The black-robed man threw the copper coin again, and it was over."
Yes or no?""
Oppose!"
The black-robed man opened his hand, which happened to be the opposite.He handed a cloth bag to the gambler, who took it and was overjoyed.I didn't expect to lose for a day, but I won it back when I went out, and I don't know how many times it was doubled."
Do you still bet?"
The black-robed man asked.The gambler shook his head, obviously bad luck today.Now that he has finally won it back, he doesn't want to export it again."
Lao Li, I'll go first."
The gambler hurried home with a bag of gold and silver.Lao Li looked at another bag of gold and silver, and no longer hesitated."
I'm betting too!"
The black-robed man nodded, tossed the copper coin and caught it."
Yes or no?""
Oppose!"
The black-robed man stretched out his hand, "Yes." ”He tossed the copper coin again: "Is it right or wrong?"
”"Oppose!"
Open hands, or head-on."
Come again!"
Lao Li does not believe in evil.The black-robed man threw it again, and just as Lao Li was about to guess, he opened his mouth and said in a lifeless voice: "You have already lost twice." ”Lao Li woke up suddenly, his face changed, but he still gritted his teeth and guessed, "Anti!"
”I open my hand and am positive."
Come again!"
Throw a copper coin and catch it.Lao Li: "Anti!
”Open your hand, or right!
Continued to throw, and after catching it, the black-robed man asked, "Don't guess right?"
”Lao Li hesitated, and after a few seconds, he gritted his teeth and opened his mouth: "Guess the opposite!"
”guessed more than a dozen times in a row, Lao Li guessed wrong, but none of them were right.Regardless of whether you guess right or back, the winning side is half of the winners.Anyway, it's only half, Lao Li wants to stick to the negative, but every time it's positive.At the end of autumn, the night wind is bleak and cold, and the people who blow it can't help but shiver and get goosebumps.However, Lao Li was sweating profusely, ticking and falling constantly, and the ground was wet.Bite!
There was a crunch.The black-robed man flicked the copper coin again with his fingertips, and after catching it, he quietly looked at Lao Li, waiting for his answer.Lao Li gasped: "Anti!
”The black-robed man opened his hand, still frontal."
Come again!"
This time, instead of throwing the copper coin, the black-robed man asked, "You can take the money if you win, but what if you lose?"
”Lao Li froze there suddenly, and the whole person seemed to be stunned."
You've lost a dozen times, it's time to pay the bill."
The black-robed man said quietly.Lao Li nodded, stiffened his body and turned around, facing the stone pillar outside the gate of the gambling house, and kept hitting his head until his head broke and bled out.The black-robed man stood up and shoved the copper coin into his mouth."
It's time to hit the road."
The night breeze blows, and the lights flicker on and off.A black cat appeared on the eaves opposite the gambling house, but it was empty, only sweat on the ground and blood stains on the stone pillars."
Are you late?"

Meow!
The black cat screamed and disappeared into the night.The winning man returned home, closed the door and opened the bag to count the money.He grinned, unable to hide his excitement.The silver ticket kept turning over in his hand, but for some reason his fingers were already stained with blood.He hurriedly went to wash his hands, but he couldn't wash them off.Looking at the gold and silver in the cloth bag, it was actually a few small bone knots.Those silver tickets have also become yellow paper money.A gust of wind blew out the candles, and the room was pitch black.In another room, his daughter suddenly woke up.Creak!
She was woken up by the movement outside, as if someone was pushing the door, but it didn't push it open, and then there was a series of footsteps outside the door."
Dad, is that you?"
No one answered, and the footsteps were still ringing."
Dad, is that you?"
The girl shouted again.She hurriedly got out of bed and lit the candle, only to see a dark shadow flash outside the window.She walked cautiously over, and just wanted to open the window to take a look, when suddenly there was a tingling in her back.She was like a frightened bunny, jumping in fright.She hurriedly put down the candlelight and got into the bed, curled up into a ball, and her body couldn't stop shaking."
Daddy!
Father!
”She shouted several times, but no one answered.Giggles, it's the sound of bones rubbing.Something seemed to be coming out from under the bed.It's like lifting a quilt.She mustered her courage and secretly showed her two eyes.In the dim candlelight, the room was unusually quiet, except for the shadows of the tables and chairs swaying under the flickering lights.Giggle again.She only felt a chill on the back of her neck.A hand ran through her hair and came down the back of her head."
Li'er, it's me, I'm my mother."
The girl's face was frightened, and she wanted to scream but couldn't."
Mother, I died three years ago" huh.The candles went out, and the room was pitch black.In the dark, the footsteps continued.It's been three days in a row.These days, Lian Ying is immersed in reading and practicing.He used 300 experience points to complete the Fa itself.Water floating, low-level body method, a total of two floors.The eaves and walls are all trivial, mainly after the practice is full, you can tread water.For this reason, he also deliberately went out to try, although he couldn't stand directly on the water, but the river surface was more than ten meters wide, and he could easily tread the water.With this body method, his speed of action is much faster, and if he encounters a ghost in the future, if he can't beat it, he may be able to get out of it by relying on it.After coming back, he spent another 1,500 to read the third layer of the Immortal Golden Body, and he also practiced it completely.Now there were six hundred XP left, and he decided to keep it for now.In the evening of that day, he left Lianfu and headed for the west of the city.Just now, the fifth sister found him and said that she had a classmate friend who hadn't been to the academy for several days, and she wanted to see if something had happened.Now that the city is not peaceful, it is almost night, and Lian Ying naturally will not let the fifth sister go out, especially to the west of the city.Anyway, it's okay to be idle now, so he went to help the fifth sister take a look.Her best friend's name was Li'er, and like her fifth sister, she was only thirteen years old.Spring City has returned to its former prosperity, and even when night is approaching, the streets are full of people and shouting.Lian Ying did not take the carriage, but prepared to walk over on foot.When I was passing by a tea stall, I heard someone say."
Have you heard, there was another accident in the west of the city a few days ago!""
It seems that someone is missing again, Lao Li's shop hasn't been open for several days!""
I've heard about this too, it's very evil!""
Since that time, the entire street of Fireworks Street has been burned, and it is very strange over there, who will dare to go to the west of the city in the future!"
At this time, a long sword was placed on the table.Several people looked up with anger on their faces, and quickly got up in fright."
Even the eldest prince, we are just talking about playing, you are" Cold sweat broke out on the foreheads of several people.Lian Ying sat down by herself, "It's okay, you go on, I'm just listening and playing." ”Where do these people dare to say."
Say."
Lian Ying threw a few taels of silver on the table.A few people saw the money."
Did we really talk about it?"
Seeing Lian Ying nodding, several people told them what they knew.One person added: "I heard that that night, Lao Li went to the gambling house with Chen Tong, but Chen Tong was the only one who went home. ”"That night, some people saw Chen Tong holding a cloth bag in his arms when he went back, grinning with teeth on his face, just as happy as picking up money.""
What about Chen Tong?"
Lian Ying asked."
I don't know, Chen Tong hasn't seen him for a few days.""
Although Chen Tong is a good gambler, he also has some family background, and he also sent his daughter to study at Chuncheng Academy.""
But it's strange to say, Chen Tong's family doesn't seem to have shown up in the past few days" Speaking of this, these people were inexplicably furious in their hearts."
What's his daughter's name?""
It seems to be called Chen Li'er" "Which gambling house do they frequent?"
”"It seems to be called Shuntong.""
Well, don't talk about this matter again, if you let others know" Lian Ying nodded and put his hand on the sword."
Understood, understood, even Gongzi could rest assured."
The back of the neck of several people was frightened, and they nodded again and again.Leaving the tea stall, Lian Ying came to the door of Li'er's house according to the address given by the fifth sister.It was already night, and candles were lit all around.Maybe it's because something strange has happened recently, and the closer you get to the west of the city, the fewer people there are.When I got here, I couldn't see a single figure.Judging from the information obtained from those people, I am afraid that Chen Tong's family has also been more than lucky.It's just that Lian Ying really can't understand that such a thing happened in the west of the city, but the Demon Suppression Division is in the west of the city, and they didn't find out at all?
This Demon Suppression Division can't really be a comic division, right?
Lian Ying knocked on the door."
In Xia Lianying, entrusted by my sister, I came to visit her classmate Chen Li'er, is there anyone at home?"
Lian Ying said very politely outside the house.No one responded.Lian Ying took a few steps back, just as he was about to jump in from the courtyard wall next to him.With a creak, the door opened a small slit.
