Chen Songzi opened the door and welcomed Chen Mo into the house.
Chen Mo glanced at the room and found that the calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls, as well as the antiques and jades that filled the counter, had all disappeared.
Chen Songzi said from the side: "Master, I have sold everything. Even this house is no longer mine after today. I will be by your side to serve you from now on."
Yan Qingcheng was a little puzzled. She was someone who knew the goods. She knew that some of Chen Songzi's calligraphy and paintings were genuine, so why did she just sell them
Yan Qingcheng suddenly felt that this old Taoist was suffering from a mental illness. He didn't want a good family, but he wanted to follow Chen Mo!
In fact, she is more than a seasoned person. In the eyes of others, she, Yan Qingcheng, is not a lunatic. She doesn't treat the good Yan family, but travels thousands of miles to Wuzhou to squeeze into a room with Chen Mo.
It can be seen that sometimes people can only see the problems in others, but often ignore the problems in themselves.
Chen Mo nodded, took a deep look at Chen Songzi, and nodded again: "Yes, the Qi has been successfully introduced into the body."
"Since the master left, I successfully introduced Qi into my body the next night. I finally lived up to the master's teachings!" Chen Songzi was extremely excited when Chen Mo talked about his cultivation.
After coming into contact with martial arts training for the first time, Chen Songzi finally understood the magic of practitioners, which further strengthened his belief in following Chen Mo along this path.
Therefore, by decisively selling off all his family property, he showed his determination to Chen Mo and also set the stage for himself.
"This is your own effort. Okay, take me to the stone gambling den." Chen Mo said.
…
Chen Songzi took Chen Mo and Yan Qingcheng to the largest stone gambling place in Wuzhou, Zhenbao Hall.
While entering the hall, Chen Songzi explained to Chen Mo: "This Zhenbao Hall is the largest stone gambling place in Wuzhou and the largest stone gambling place in the entire Hanyang Province. The people who come here are basically rich people from all over the world, including young men from big families. There are many young people who come here to gain experience, but those who participate in stone gambling are basically rich and powerful people."
"I heard that the owner of this Zhenbao Hall is Zhenbao Zhai, which ranks second in the entire Wuzhou. In the entire Hanyang Province, Zhenbao Zhai is also ranked among the top ten."
Zhenbao Hall is located in the suburbs of Wuzhou City. It has only one floor. The entire hall is as big as five basketball courts. It is very spacious. There are many seats around it. In the middle is a rectangular stone platform with various stones placed on it. Some are as big as basketballs, and some are even as big as an adult pig.
Chen Mo knew that these should be the so-called rough stones.
There were many people around, pointing and commenting on the rough stones. Some of them were optimistic and silently wrote down the stone numbers.
Chen Songzi led Chen Mo and the others through the crowd and continued walking forward until they reached a square stone platform at the end of the hall.
"This is a place for stone betting. You select raw stones from there and cut them here. If you can get a good stone, you can also auction it on the spot." Chen Songzi continued to explain.
Yan Qingcheng also looked at the rough stones curiously. She had heard of gambling stones, but had never seen them in person. She seemed to be very interested in these gambling things.
Sang Sang stayed close to Yan Qingcheng, observing the surroundings vigilantly. Once he found someone approaching Yan Qingcheng, he would immediately block them one meter away from Yan Qingcheng.
Chen Mo glanced at the rough stones, and there were two of them that really interested Chen Mo. They contained the same amount of heaven and earth energy as the blue jade stone last time.
"When does the stone gambling start?" Chen Mo asked calmly.
Chen Songzi said: "Master, it will officially start at nine o'clock in the morning. At that time, many big shots will appear. They are the protagonists of stone gambling."
Chen Mo nodded and suddenly said: "You don't need to call me master in public from now on. Please call me young master instead!"
A fifty-year-old Taoist calling a seventeen- or eighteen-year-old young master might arouse the curiosity of many people. Chen Mo didn't want to be the center of attention wherever he went.
"Yes, young master!" Chen Songzi is also a smart person and understands that Chen Mo doesn't want to attract attention.
Chen Mo and others stood quietly in front of the stone platform, waiting for the stone gambling to begin. Outside the Zhenbao Hall, another group of people came, including three men and three women, who were particularly eye-catching.
Yang Qianqian took An Keyue's hand and said excitedly: "Finally, the stone gambling conference has begun. This time I will show you a feast for your eyes!"
An Keyue looked around curiously and asked in a low voice: "Qianqian, what is gambling stone? Isn't it just a bigger stone? What's so good about it?"
Lin Tao next to Yang Qianqian laughed and said: "Miss An, please don't say such things later, otherwise you will make people laugh out loud!"
The other two boys also chuckled, laughing An Keyue had never seen the world before.
An Keyue's beautiful little face turned red and she glared at the three of them: "What's so funny? I just asked because I didn't understand."
Murong Yan'er gently hugged An Keyue and explained with a smile: "Actually, stone gambling is a kind of gambling. Most people rely on luck, and a few people rely on experience..."
Murong Yan'er had heard about gambling on stones, so she gave An Keyue some knowledge. After listening, An Keyue nodded with a look of astonishment.
Immediately, An Keyue exclaimed: "I can't believe that these seemingly ordinary stones are so expensive!"
Lin Tao smiled and said, "Let's go inside. The Stone Gambling Conference is about to start. I will take you to see the world. Maybe you can meet people from my Lin family today."
Yang Qianqian said with a surprised look on her face: "You are talking about the number one family in Linzhou, the Lin family!"
"Except for the No. 1 family in Linzhou, who else dares to call the Lin family!" Lin Tao smiled proudly.
An Keyue and Murong Yaner were also slightly surprised. The Lin family in Linzhou was such a giant!
While talking, several people also walked to the stone platform at the end of the hall. Suddenly, Yang Qianqian pointed in the direction of Chen Mo and exclaimed: "Look, isn't that Chen Mo? Why is he here too!"
Lin Tao suddenly looked contemptuous: "This kid definitely wants to try his luck in the stone betting field, but this stone betting field is not something he, a country bumpkin, can afford!"
An Keyue frowned when she looked at the thin figure, wondering in her heart: "Why is Chen Mo here at the stone gambling quarry?"
Murong Yan'er, on the other hand, had a look of surprise on her face. She ignored the others and ran over directly, shouting: "Chen Mo, why are you here?"
Chen Mo was standing in a corner, closing his eyes to rest. When he heard Murong Yan'er's cry, he slightly raised his eyes and looked over, showing a hint of surprise: "Yan'er, what are you doing here?"
Chen Mo felt a kind of intimacy from the bottom of his heart towards Murong Yan'er, who often saved him from troubles in his previous life. Just like he treated Jiang Xin, he called Murong Yan'er much closer.
Hearing Chen Mo directly call her Yan'er, Murong Yan'er's heartbeat suddenly skipped half a beat, her shyness disappeared in a flash, and she stood in front of Chen Mo in a pretty way.
Murong Yan'er clasped her hands together and said with a smile: "Keyue and I had nothing to do, so Qianqian invited us to watch the fun. By the way, what about you, are you also here to watch the fun?"
Chen Mo looked over and immediately spotted Lin Tao, An Keyue and others, but Chen Mo didn't bother to pay attention to these people.
"No, I want to buy two stones and give them to my dad as gifts during the Chinese New Year." Chen Mo found a suitable excuse for himself to gamble on stones.
