The years when I was an old man

Seeing the thousands of hands in the audience, they raised their hands one after another.

Including me and Master Hong, there are 35 remaining Thousand Hands.

But at this moment, there must be at least 27 or eight people who raise their hands.

The one-eyed dragon was overjoyed, and he started to call everyone's names:

"Tie Shutong, Elephant Guqiu, Moon Picking Talent, and this side..."

Every time someone is named, that person can't wait to walk towards the stage.

Cyclops is also very smart, most of the people he chooses are from the top sixteen.

When his gaze caught sight of Gu Ziliu who did not raise his hand, he paused, clasped his hands together, and said politely:

"Little Sixth Master, I have long heard that you are also a rising star of Qianmen. On the day when Zheng Ruhuan held a mahjong competition in Bashu, you had an equal share with this surname Chu. Now this surname Chu slanders Qianmen and speaks wild words. I don't know Xiaoliu. Are you interested in forming the Thousand Gates Eighteen Formation with us, and teaching this dog thief a lesson together!"

Gu Ziliu raised his head slightly, with indescribable pride in his face.

"Thousands and eighteen battles, it's just a trick to bully the few. I'm not interested, I can bet with him. But it's always a one-on-one bet!"

What Gu Ziliu said made Cyclops extremely embarrassed.

He glanced at Gu Ziliu angrily, and continued to name others.

After a while, 18 people stood opposite the gaming table.

Zhang Fan looked around, then said expressionlessly:

"Except for the 18 people, please leave the room with the audience and participating Qianshou. We have to rearrange the arena. In half an hour, the Qianmen Eighteen Formation will officially start!"

I followed the crowd and came to the courtyard.

At this moment, the courtyard was full of voices, and everyone was discussing the upcoming Thousand Gates and Eighteen Arrays.

Walking to a locust tree, I leaned against the big tree and lit a cigarette.

Suddenly, a soft voice came from behind:

"Sixth day!"

When I looked back, I saw Huo Yutong standing there, looking at me as tenderly as water.

"Can I talk to you alone?"

After hearing this, Master Hong and the others sensibly walked aside.

"Why do you want to pick up the Eighteen Arrays of Thousand Gates?"

Huo Yutong asked softly.

I smoked a cigarette and looked blankly into the distance.

After a while, I answered slowly:

"For as long as I can really remember, my life seems to have only one purpose..."

"what?"

"Find the guy who won the Melo!"

"But what does this have to do with the Thousand Gate Eighteen Formation?"

Huo Yutong asked me puzzled.

"It's very simple. If Melo can do it, so can I. Only when everyone thinks that my thousand skills surpass Melo. Then his opponent will naturally find me..."

I said indifferently.

But I hid another thought in my heart, that is Liu Ye.

I always feel that Liu Ye must know what is happening now.

I want him to know that if I promise him to become a master in three years, I will definitely do it.

"Are you sure?"

Huo Yutong asked again.

"no!"

I shook my head.

"It's still too late to quit, I'll go talk to Zhai Xingzhang!"

Looking at Huo Yutong, I asked back:

"Are you worried about me?"

There was a hint of embarrassment on Huo Yutong's face, and she immediately said:

"Young and energetic, I know I can't persuade you. Another thing, the painting I gave you is likely to cause you trouble. Either destroy it or give it back to me. I don't hope that one day, What bad things will happen to you with this painting..."

I looked at Huo Yutong, her eyesight was as clear as water.Showing indescribable sincerity and care.

Taking a deep puff on my cigarette, I asked back:

"Then when you sent me off, didn't you expect that this day would come?"

Huo Yutong was suddenly at a loss for words.

The two of us looked at each other for a while, then she slowly shook her head and said:

"Sixth day, I'm sorry. Sometimes, I can't help myself!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she turned and left.

But when I turned my head to look, I saw old Mr. Wu and Uncle Zhong standing outside the gate.

The two looked at me blankly, not knowing what they were thinking.

Going back to the hall again, the hall has changed its appearance at this moment.

In addition to the gaming table just now, there are six more mahjong tables next to it.

At this moment, 18 people are standing on one side of the gaming table.

One by one applied arrogantly, looking like they were sure of winning.

The previous Qianshou waiting area has now been withdrawn to four weeks.

The huge open space in the middle has been reserved for us.

At this moment, the old accountant was sitting beside Liu Yunxiu, leaning on a cane.

Seeing me coming in, he raised his cane and pointed at me, and asked Liu Yunxiu with a smile:

"Xiao Liu, let's make a bet between the two of us. Who do you think can win?"

Liu Yunxiu held the teacup and said without thinking:

"A pair of eighteen, the rules are still so strict. I think even Jin Wushuang, who topped the list last time, may not be able to pass this level. The old accountant wants to bet, so I will accompany you. But I think 18 people win..."

The old accountant laughed loudly, shook his head and said:

"Forget it, don't gamble anymore. Because I think the same as you. But Qianmen hasn't been this lively for a long time, and my visit this time also makes me feel like returning to the heyday of Qianmen..."
