I am the leader of the capital

In the endless barren but extremely vibrant undead mountains, Nangong Jie searched for traces of water monkeys based on his experience. He wanted to find the traces of the King Kong monkeys that he found in the cave with an appearance that obviously did not belong to King Kong monkeys. The little monkey's father looked at it.

The most fortunate thing in his life is that he was born in the Divine Beast Sect and had the opportunity to come into contact with so many animals. According to the legends and records in books over the years, he speculated that the strange appearance of the little monkey should be inherited from the water monkey. It is a creature called perfect by the elders of the Zongmen. It is said that when swimming in the water, its hair is as elegant as a woman with long hair loose.

Looking at the bluish-gray fragments of fur by the water's edge, and a few bones that gave off a faint sense of jade, Nangong Jie was extremely lost. In a few days, perhaps the water monkeys killed by the King Kong monkeys were left with dry bones. It is the rule of Undead Mountain.

The man squatting by the water stared blankly at the blobs of blue-gray floating in the water. The broken fur fluctuated with the current in the water, faintly seeing the glory of the past.

Nangong Jie of the Divine Beast Sect withdrew from his memories and looked at the cage outside the closed window. Ordinary people can't see clearly through such window paper, but he lives in the wild all year round, and his vision is naturally not comparable to that of ordinary warriors. Can vaguely see the shadow.

The noise outside gradually diminished, and the black shadow in the cage became anxious again. Nangong Jie, dressed in colorful frontier costumes, sat on a chair and looked down at the black snake in his hand. The snake's arms were long and short, and he touched the man in favor. finger.

It's just that the man who is known as the Dragon King in the Jianghu turned a blind eye, and looked outside again, his eyes were full of fire, and he said to the people around him: "For countless years, there have been legends of water monkeys everywhere, but there has never been a water monkey. There are no real water monkeys caught anywhere, does any of you know why?"
A young man with a scar on his face said: "Perhaps the water monkey is very powerful and difficult to catch."

Nangong Jie, who had small colorful braids on his head, said indifferently: "Then why do people in the sect who have seen the water monkey praise the water monkey for its elegance, while the legendary water monkeys in the world are all extremely ugly?"

"This! I don't know." The young man shook his head after thinking about it.

The man with a snake-like face turned his head to look at the people beside him, and everyone who came into contact with him avoided looking.

Seeing that no one answered, the man thought to himself: "Because the people in the world are not talking about water monkeys, people in the world will feel scared when they are in the dark, so they will make up all kinds of ghosts and monsters. Things are demonized. If someone drowns in the water, they will say that the dead person has turned into a ghost.

But the existence of ghosts is too illusory, so it needs to be materialized. When you are by the river, someone tells you that you are not afraid of ghosts in the water, but what if there is a human-like animal that will drag people into the water? ?

Many people don't believe that people will become ghosts after death, but many people believe in monkey-like beasts growing in the water. This is just a good way to materialize the fear of water, and change people's fear of drowning into ghosts. The fear of becoming a water ghost was transferred to the monkey who looked like a human. "

The young man with the scar on his face arched his fists and complimented: "Second master, it is true. Ghosts can refute, but why can't there be monkeys if there are mice in the water? First, let the listeners be unable to explain, and then as long as you If you admit in your heart that there may be a monster in the water, you will subconsciously apply the horrors and legends about water to this very likely water monkey."

"So the water monkey is made up, and the things that make up allusions to drowned people must be ugly and scary enough. The person who made up the story is really smart." After Nangong Jie finished speaking, he stretched out his hand and put it on the black snake's head. Before the mouth, the black snake seemed to understand the man's consciousness. After opening the mouth, the fangs injected a drop of venom on the back of the man's hand.

Nangong Jie, who raised his hand and gently licked the venom, recalled with a smile on his face: "I was very interested in water monkeys in the past. I have explored at least dozens of rivers and searched every village where the water monkeys lived over and over again. I can’t find any animals that look like humans or monkeys in the water, but I found that many cases of water monkeys dragging people into the water were done by humans, and people killed people and then blamed them on water monkeys.”

Seeing that man licking a drop of venom that was enough to make a lion and a tiger fall, several members of the Beast Familiar Sect felt that he was indeed the man who was called the Dragon King. How could the Dragon King be afraid of snake venom?

"In this world, the most poisonous thing is never ghosts and beasts, but people's hearts." Nangong Jie turned his head and reached out to tap on his own head, and said to everyone: "Only by using your brains when things happen, can you live long. Many people in the Zongmen are with their animals on weekdays, and those who have been with animals for a long time will forget the evil of human nature."

"Follow the teaching of the second master."

The hall had gradually become quiet. Yun Musheng looked at the small stack of papers in his hand, with each name and handprint on it, handed it to Yun Qianyu and said, "Look, you don't need to spend money to buy this monkey."

Yun Bailing was still a little afraid of these people, leaning on Yun Qianyu and whispered, "I earned it."

She has only appeared in front of a large number of people twice in her life. Last time, those people gave her a lot of jade pendants and food, worth about 2 taels. 70 taels.

"The money tree." Yun Qianyu reached out and pinched Yun Bailing's face.

The somewhat proud Yun Bailing raised his head slightly, and the fat man next to him chuckled twice and said, "It's hard to say whether you will win or lose, how many of you are so sure that Guishanzhuang will win the 70 taels? What if you lose? , 70 taels of cash is enough to hurt your villa, will Master Yun be punished after he returns?"

Yun Musheng, dressed in white, said to everyone on the first and second floors: "Is there any more? If not, I will wait for the explanation."

"Xueyu Mountain Villa has a powerful force in Dazhu Town. Mr. Yun can't be reckless, all the names are in duplicate." Qi Sanbao waved a piece of paper in his hand, with many names written on it.

When they just signed, everyone signed two copies and showed it to Yun Musheng. The list Yun Musheng held was for himself to win so that he could find someone to ask for money, and those who gambled with Yun Musheng should also prepare One list is for fear that when the time comes to make money, someone will come in and ask Yun Musheng for money, and Yun Musheng will pretend to have lost his things, and renege on the wrong number of people asking for bets.

The young man in a brocade robe on the second floor waved the paper with his name on it and said, "I have 130 people here."

"I have 80 people here."

"I have 35 people here."

……

"There are 740 people in total, and we also have the list. At that time, Mr. Yun can't use the list in his hand and don't know who he needs to pay. He is worried about paying the wrong person and repaying the debt."

After the brocade-robed youth finished speaking, Qi Sanbao jumped out again and said, "At that time, Mr. Yun only needs to hand over the money to the 15 people in charge of us. For example, 53 people trust me and write their names in my hands." on the paper, then Master Yun can just give me 3000 taels, and I will distribute it among them."

Yun Musheng nodded and smiled gently, "No problem. Although the villa dare not say how rich it is, the money is still affordable. I can afford to lose people. The villa still wants to save face. The money has fallen to the point where everyone laughs at it, and if you dare to gamble, you have to afford to lose. I ask again, is there anyone else joining? If not, let's ask Miss He Ling to start introducing?"

Among a group of struggling guests, a man made up his mind and said, "Me, we also bet."

"Old Zhang, we are such grown-ups, if we want to gamble, we can gamble;

"Does it need to be said? I'm jealous of the money and afraid that it will be difficult to end if I lose."

Amidst the laughter of the crowd, the man known as Lao Zhang blushed. Just as the teaser said, he was really afraid that he would end up losing, but he couldn't let go of the 800 bets when he saw seven or eight hundred people betting. two.

Yun Musheng smiled, "Then find someone you can trust, write down your name and address and hand them over. You have already bet 700 people, and you are not missing. I don't believe my maid will be mistaken."

"If you lose your sight, Young Master Yun, you have to hold back."

"Hahaha……"

The sound of laughter filled the entire velvet platform, Yun Musheng was not annoyed, the second master Nangong in the room behind the screen sneered twice when he heard the sound outside; He Ling remained silent, as if standing for a long time, My body couldn't take it anymore, so I found a pillar to lean on.

Looking at this last chance, many people were really unwilling to let their money slip away like this, and they gritted their teeth and wrote their cold names. In the end, the old Zhang took six pieces of paper and showed them to Yun Musheng. After doing the same, he handed a copy to the boy in white.

"140 five." Yun Musheng raised his eyebrows, let go and laughed twice: "740 three plus 140 five, 880 eight, okay, send it all the way, Yunmou thanked everyone here, thank you all for sending 88 taels of silver."

Looking at Yun Musheng's expression, many people began to worry about what to do if they lost, and they were extremely disturbed, but the boy with the silver and silver crown continued: "Our villa will naturally prepare 88 taels, please also prepare My own 8000 taels."

"Be prepared for 1000 taels. If you can come to Xurongtai, you won't be unable to get it out, but Mr. Yun must make up more than 80 taels." Gu Beicheng, a young man in brocade robe, said lightly. He is a member of the Gu family, Gu Lingyuan's cousin.

Yun Qianyu suddenly said: "Since everyone wins, our money will be handed over to the 16 plus [-], [-] responsible persons, so if we win, we can directly ask the [-] of you for money first." ah."

The crowd suddenly turned cold, and the faces of several leaders suddenly looked as if they had eaten flies. If one of them won the bet, there would be no benefit at all. Didn't Xueyu Villa ask him for the money directly?

The way many people looked at Yun Qianyu changed. This woman is a bit ruthless. No matter who wins or loses this time, many people may not dare to stand up against Xueyu Villa in the future.

"Mr. Yun, one person's account belongs to one person. It's inappropriate for me to wait and take responsibility." An old man regretted his actions just now. Apart from gaining the face of a leading brother, he has no real benefit at all, but he has to bear tens of thousands of taels. responsibility.

Another middle-aged man said eagerly: "That is, our bet is over, Mr. Yun, is it inappropriate for you to raise conditions again?"

Yun Musheng smiled disdainfully, "It's not suitable? Why is it not suitable? I can't see where it is not suitable. Didn't it end when I just proposed that my money be handed over to 15 people? This thing full of people's names I already got it? Why, you can add conditions, but I can't?"

"But Master Yun, you also started a bet again, and more than 100 people participated. Does it mean that the matter is not over when we said the conditions, but we are just in the middle of this bet?" The old man frowned deeply.
