Onmyoji Shikigami Don't Cry

Chapter 442 Warrior Spirit 3
In the teahouse, Chen Beibei was still telling everyone the story about the famous knife.

"At this moment, Kurokimaru is determined to compete with the three ghosts, but he is still worried whether the boss will go back on his word. After all, if the two of them really drink together, they will definitely drink a lot of wine.

'Boss, are you telling the truth? '

Kuroki Maru looked at the tavern owner and asked him.

'Kuroki Maru, what do you think of the wine I sell? '

asked the tavernkeeper.

'The wine sold is very good and solid. '

Kurokimaru replied.

The wine sold by the tavern owner is indeed very good, and every time he drinks wine, he always fills up the wine.

This makes the tavern owner very respected in front of everyone.

'Then you still don't believe me?And there are so many people testifying here, are you still afraid that I will go back on my word?Just open your mouth and drink, no matter how much you drink, it will all be counted on my head, and you will never pay a penny. '

said the tavern owner.

Hearing what the tavern owner said, Kurokimaru didn't refuse anymore. After all, there are so many people watching, if he keeps refusing to agree, he doesn't seem manly enough.

'Since this is the case, then I will have a contest with the three ghosts. '

Kurokimaru said. "

"Is it finally time to compete?"

The young man asked a little excitedly.

Obviously.

For the contest between Kurokimaru and Sanki, the young man is still looking forward to it.

after all.

Anyway, both Kurokimaru and Sanki are good at drinking.

and.

It is not common to see such things as drinking competitions.

"Ah."

Chen Beibei nodded.

"Kurokimaru and Sanki drank until dark, and more and more people watched.

'It's still drinking. '

'Yeah, it doesn't look like you're going to get drunk at all. '

'It's amazing...'

The onlookers began to say some words of praise, which made Kurokimaru and Sanki drink more vigorously.

Obviously.

As for the owner of the tavern, his expression seemed to be getting worse.But in general, there are still talks and laughs.

perhaps.

For the tavern owner, the competition between Kurokimaru and Sanki will consume a lot of his wine.

However, it is also very rare to see these two people competing for a drink.So it is acceptable.

'Everyone, let's bet on who will win Kurokimaru or Sanki. '

one suggested.

When the other people heard it, they leaned over one after another. Obviously, everyone is very interested in gambling.

'If that's the case, let me be the manor.Buy as much or as little as you like, but the premise is that everyone wants to be happy, so don't bet too much. '

said the tavern owner.

Since it is to open the market, it is natural to set the odds in advance.

Kurokimaru and Sanki were still drinking, but for the sake of fairness, they basically drank at the same time.You can also eat some dishes on the way to pad your stomach.

'Come on, Kurokimaru, it seems that I finally found an opponent this time. '

The face of the three ghosts was full of hearty smiles. Obviously, he himself was very happy to be able to drink with the three ghosts this time.

after all.

Not being able to find an opponent is indeed a very painful thing.

'Um. '

Kurokimaru doesn't talk too much.

However, when drinking, Kurokimaru is also worthy of the three ghosts. Every time the two of them touch the bowl, they will drink the whole bowl of wine in one gulp.

'How should the odds be set? '

asked the tavernkeeper.

Everyone has already put together several empty tables to form a large table.

On both ends of the table, the names of Kurokimaru and Sanki were written with a brush.

Now the odds need to be set.

"The three ghosts should be even stronger. The three ghosts have competed with others in the tavern many times before, and they haven't lost yet.

So I think the odds of the three ghosts are lower. '

said one.

"Kuroki Maru doesn't look like the Three Ghosts at all, I think the two of them should be about the same." '

'I think the three ghosts are more powerful. '

'I also think the three ghosts are more powerful. '

Everyone started talking about their own ideas, and the tavern owner made a rough count.

Those who support the Three Ghosts accounted for the vast majority.

'Boss, who do you think will win? '

one person asked.

'Yeah, boss, you should tell who you think can win.Otherwise, we have no way to buy who wins and loses. '

Others followed suit.

Everyone thought that the three ghosts would win, but the tavern owner felt that Kurokimaru was not hopeless.

'Since everyone thinks that the three ghosts will win, then the odds of the three ghosts are two to one.Kuroki Maru's odds are set at one to two.I don't make that money in the middle either.Just be a free bookmaker. '

said the tavern owner.

The tavern owner is actually very conscientious in opening such a plate.After all, in this way, this plate is indeed of no benefit to the tavern owner.

In a sense, the tavernkeeper is in the same position as everyone else.

soon.

Everyone also chose the person they liked, and put money in his name.

In this case.

In the end, if the person you are optimistic about wins.He can get the money multiplied by the odds.

Although the odds of the three ghosts are only two to one, there are still many people who are optimistic about the three ghosts.

On Kurokimaru's name, there is only a little small sentence.

There is no way to do this, after all, everyone is not very clear about Kurokimaru's drinking capacity.

'Three ghosts, by the way, what do you rely on to survive in the village? '

Kurokimaru looked at Sangui and asked him.

Following the contest with the three ghosts, Kurokimaru gradually began to talk more.

after all.

At this time, Kurokimaru has also recognized the three ghosts.

Since he was able to drink with him for several hours in a row, Kurokimaru had never met such a person until now.

'Find a way out? '

The three ghosts hesitated for a while, and finally said: "It's just doing some things to sell goods in other places."Speaking of which, it's rather embarrassing. '

In this era, the status of those who rely on selling goods to make money is indeed relatively low.

A merchant is a lower status than ordinary farmers.

'If a man doesn't steal or rob, there's nothing shameful about it.It is those who rely on their own power and do some people to take away the people's money are the real shame. '

Kurokimaru said.

Hearing what Kurokimaru said, Sangui put down the chopsticks he was going to pick up.

He stared blankly at Kurokimaru for a while.

'What's wrong? '

Seeing the three ghosts looking at him, Kurokimaru asked.

'Nothing, let's drink! '

The three ghosts picked up their own wine, touched Hei Muwan, and drank it down: "Have fun! '"

……

Clean and elegant tea house.

At some point, the owner of the tea house also sat down at Chen Beibei's table.

Listen to the story told by Chen Beibei together.

In this tea house, there are only guests at Chen Beibei's table.

perhaps.

The owner of the tea house is also very familiar with these people, so this behavior did not cause anyone any discomfort.

It was as if a friend of mine had naturally sat at the same table as me.

"It seems that Sangui and Kurokimaru have met their confidants."

The owner of the tea house said.

Chen Beibei heard the teahouse owner speak, temporarily stopped talking, but went to reply to the teahouse owner's words.

"Yeah, both of them like drinking so much. And their personalities are also very similar in some aspects."

Chen Beibei said.

"Kurokimaru and Miki have been drinking until dawn, but there is still no winner.

Those who are watching on the sidelines.

I don't know when they fell asleep. Some slept on the ground, some on the table, and some just sat on the chairs. "

"Did they decide the winner in the end?"

asked the old warrior.

"No, because everyone has already fallen asleep. And the dishes on the table have already been eaten. Sanki and Kurokimaru are also embarrassed to wake up the tavern's buddies to cook.

And both of them thought that they felt somewhat guilty after drinking so much wine from the tavern owner.

If you continue to drink, you don't know when the winner will be determined.So the two of them simply stopped the competition. "

Chen Beibei replied.

"'Let's stop like this, it's a draw this time, and we'll drink next time we get a chance.'

Kurokimaru said.

'Stop drinking? '

asked the three ghosts.

'Um. '

At this time, Kurokimaru and Sangui undoubtedly recognized each other in their hearts.

So, when Kurokimaru said he would stop drinking.The three ghosts didn't feel that Kurokimaru was cheating at all, but agreed heartily.

If you are someone with a narrow mind, you must think, 'Is it because he is getting drunk and worried that he will lose, so he said no to drinking? '

Although the three ghosts agreed heartily, they still felt a little pity in their hearts. After all, they just had a good time drinking. "

When Chen Beibei said this, he paused for a while, because the story is actually a turning point here.

If it's just Kurokimaru competing with others in the tavern for drinking.

Such a thing.

It's not worth telling the story.

The reason to talk about this matter is only because it will affect the development of the story.

"At this point... it seems that you are going to fall into a dull state again, right?"

The young man looked at Chen Beibei and asked him.

"It's not that the story starts to get exciting here."

Chen Beibei replied.

……

"After Kurokimaru returned home, the three ghosts had already left the tavern.

After the people in the tavern woke up, they found that Kurokimaru and Sangui were gone.

And on the table, there were small judges that were placed on their names when they placed their bets.

'Why are they gone? '

'I don't know, last night, many people had gone home, and we also felt that it was difficult for them to decide the winner at night, so we went to bed first. '

'What now?Now we don't know who wins or loses...'

During the day yesterday, after Kurokimaru and Sangui started their competition.They opened a bet, and many people bet.If you don't know the outcome at this time, it will be very troublesome.

'There was money on the table where they drank, and a note. '

Said a guy in the tavern.

'This is the money for the wine. I drank with all my heart yesterday with Kuroki Maru, so let's assume that I invited Kuroki Maru to drink.

—Three ghosts! '

When the tavern owner saw this note, he was quite happy in his heart.

after all.

Sanki and Kurokimaru had indeed drank too much alcohol. Since Sanki would be willing to bear the money for the drinks, this was something the tavern owner never thought of.

'Do you think Kuroki Maru is honest? '

The tavern owner looked at the people in the store who were arguing about the outcome and asked them.

'Is it Kuroki Maru?It seems that I have never seen him cheat...'

'What Kurokimaru said will basically be done, there is no such thing as honesty. '

'Although Kurokimaru always had a condescending look before, he really wouldn't do some deceitful behavior.Why is the boss asking this? '

said the person in the tavern.

'Since this is the case, I have a way to determine the outcome, but I don't know if everyone is willing to listen to me. '

said the tavern owner.

'What method? '

one person asked.

Those who placed bets, of course, wanted to know the outcome very much.After all, if this gamble is just given up, everyone will definitely not be reconciled.

'Since everyone believes Kurokimaru's character, let's go directly to Kurokimaru and ask him whether he won or lost yesterday, isn't that all right? '

said the tavern owner.

Although this method is somewhat unacceptable, after all, it is too unreliable to decide whether you win or lose money just based on other people's verbal rhetoric.

but.

Now that Kurokimaru and Sangui have left, this is the only way to decide the outcome.

'If you don't want to, then you can only take your money back.Let's pretend this gamble never happened. '

The tavernkeeper continued.

'It's my money, I quit. '

'this is mine……'

Some people have started to pick up their own money, but only a few people.

Most people are still just standing.

'It's a little reconciled to get the money back like this. '

'Yeah, really want to know who won. '

Obviously.

Many people don't want to just get their money back, after all, it's already on the table.

Everyone still wants to know how it turned out.

'Let's decide whether to win or lose according to the method the boss said, and Kuroki Maru is not the kind of person who lied.And the three ghosts often come to the tavern to drink, if Kurokimaru is lying, we can also confront the three ghosts at that time. '

One person suggested so.

'Okay, that's it. '

'I also think it's okay, if there are still people who want to quit, just take your money.Those who want to know who won or lost, come with me to Kurokimaru's house. '

At this time, no one is going to take the money on the table anymore.

A group of people walked out towards Kurokimaru's house in a mighty way, because everyone felt that the person they were optimistic about would win.

So everyone is full of confidence.
