Chapter 218: Strange Hobbies (25)

This town is not the largest town in Qimingmen, but it is also very prosperous.

The gambling house that Shuyun chose was just an ordinary one, but judging from the scene inside, it was just as lively.

As soon as he came in, Lin Yuan heard the sound of dice, cheers, cheers and screams.

The air was filled with strange smells, the smell of cigarettes and alcohol mixed with the aroma of noodle soup, together forming the complex market smell here, which hit me in the face the moment I opened the door.

After being carried in here, Shuyun hid in the corner, and then he set out the compass and divination book in a very formal manner, looking like a fortune teller.

Next to her, a flag was raised with only four big words on it: "Defy the will of heaven and change your destiny."

Instead of going up to them to promote her business, she secretly observed everyone, her smart eyes constantly locking onto one target after another, staring at their wallets and observing their actions.

Whenever she identified a target, she would whisper instructions to her partner, who would then write down the target's situation using secret symbols according to her requirements for later use.

Although it looks cute, in Lin Yuan's eyes, the other party is like a spider, quietly waiting for its target to take the bait.

After waiting for a full half hour, she patted her partner and said a secret signal.

The other party nodded in understanding, then walked towards the target and asked in a low voice: "My fellow Taoist, do you want to buy a lucky charm?"

The person being spoken to was an outer disciple of the Qiming Sect. He had been losing all night and was a little drunk at this moment.

I wanted to tell the person who was talking to me to leave quickly, but when I turned around and saw that the person who was talking to me was actually a sixteen-year-old girl, my anger immediately subsided a little.

After drawing two spirit pieces, he threw them to the other party and continued to look at the deck of cards in front of him: "Don't bother me, go play somewhere else."

The girl accepted the spirit, and then continued: "Daoyou, just take a look, our lucky charm is very effective."

The Qiming Sect disciple was already a little angry, but after seeing the lucky charm the other party showed, he was moved and asked in a low voice: "How much?"

"An ordinary one has fifty spirit seeds, an advanced one has one hundred spirit seeds, an especially powerful one has two hundred spirit seeds, and if it's customized, it has five hundred spirit seeds."

“It’s so expensive to make it custom!”

"you get what you pay for."

"……have a look."

The disciple was brought to Shu Yun. After observing for a while, he immediately said, "Customized, but the conditions for my customization are a bit unique. Please listen to it."

Shuyun whispered something and nodded continuously, then he spread out the black cloth and started drawing on it.

The voices of the Qiming Sect disciples continued to ring out from within the black cloth, along with intermittent exclamations and various requests.

Another half hour passed before the other party finally pulled open the black cloth, carefully put away the lucky charm, and then went back without gambling any more money.

Holding the money he had just earned, Shuyun wiped the sweat from his head tiredly, sighing that this money was really not easy to earn.

Once you have the first customer, it will be much easier to make money from subsequent customers.

Disciples who requested for customization walked in one by one, and then walked out with their own lucky charms, looking quite satisfied.

Lin Yuan, who was observing secretly, was a little puzzled.

The disciples of Qimingmen really like things like lucky charms. After all, they believe in things like luck and destiny.

It was just that an ordinary luck charm only cost a dozen spirits, and an expensive one might cost hundreds, but not as much as five hundred. He wanted to see what it was, but the other party was very cautious and would only win over the disciples they liked, so others would have no chance.

And if they can't win them over in one go, they will at most persuade them again. If they still don't want to buy, they will leave immediately. They have no shortage of customers anyway.

They worked until almost dawn and wanted to try one more time, but then they saw the gambling house owner winking at them.

The girl in charge of lookout immediately helped to pack up. All the luggage was quickly packed away. Then they carried Shuyun on their backs and walked towards the owner of the gambling house, giving him one-third of their earnings.

The gambling house owner took the money, stepped aside, revealed a secret door behind him, and motioned for them to leave quickly.

The whole process was completed within a few breaths, and just as they left, the door was pushed open.

The person who came in was dressed in a black robe and had a calm expression. He was different from the other Tianming Sect disciples who were in a state of panic. One could tell at a glance that he was the inspector here.

When they came in, the air in the gambling house became still for a moment.

Like other places, the status of inspectors is quite high, and it would not be pleasant to be targeted by the other party.

Fortunately, they just looked around the place and left immediately after finding no target, continuing to search the next gambling house.

Not until the inspectors left did people breathe a sigh of relief, and the noise resumed as if nothing had happened.

After thinking about it, Lin Yuan first went out, performed the art of creating something out of nothing, and covered himself with a black robe, making him look exactly like the inspectors here.

His ability to create something out of nothing has become quite good, and clothes are something he practices frequently. Now he can customize styles freely and can disguise any kind of clothing.

After putting on his clothes, he walked back into the gambling house.

The air froze again.

Imitating Wang Jiu's expression, Lin Yuan walked in here coldly, and then walked towards a disciple who had been received by Shu Yun.

The other party's eyes flickered when he saw Lin Yuan. After realizing that Lin Yuan's target was him, he wanted to leave even more. However, Lin Yuan stepped on the other party's path and blocked his escape route.

Lin Yuan stretched out his hand to the other party without saying anything, just looking at him coldly until the other party trembled all over, took out the lucky charm in his arms and handed it to Lin Yuan.

Along with the lucky charm, there was also a spirit stone.

Although he knew that the spirit stones were useless, he still said flatteringly, "Inspector, take it back and gamble. I will never dare to do it again."

Lin Yuan didn't say anything, but just looked at the lucky charm given by the other party, and then couldn't help but take another look.

How strange!

Take another look!
This thing can’t be called a luck charm. There is indeed a complicated talisman painted in the corner of it, but it is not a talisman of any magic. It just looks good.

You could say it is, but the front of the painting shows a giant Pixiu holding a gold ingot-shaped spiritual stone in its claws.

If it were just this, it would be fine, but the Pixiu looks ordinary, but the ingot-shaped spirit stone looks handsome and plump, giving people a feeling of lingering charm.

The colors of the picture are also very bright. There is nothing wrong with it at first glance, but after looking at it for a long time, it actually makes people slightly moved.

After looking at it carefully for a while, Lin Yuan finally knew what it was.

This is a cheesy picture!

And it’s a very high-quality picture!
