The villain's daily corpse collection

When Wang Wei opened the door, he unexpectedly saw familiar faces in the room diagonally opposite - they were the two former scholars, Zhou Yong and Su Lie, who he met while queuing to enter the city and were about to go gambling on stones.

She closed her eyes and activated her spiritual sense, and found out that they were going to eat some snacks sent by the inn before leaving. She looked around the room carefully, and caught a glimpse of an ancient bronze mirror covered by a silk cloth.

Facing the mirror, she looked at the face she hadn't seen for a long time.

Wang Wei absolutely hated looking in the mirror. She was in a place where there was no place that could reflect her face. The last time she looked in the mirror was in Lingze, a dense forest in Tianzhou.

——Just to confirm that I am myself and have not been in the wrong body again.

Everyone here has black hair, but she has a head of white hair that is really eye-catching, but she is unwilling to compromise and change her hair color. Only this uniqueness allows Wang Wei to distinguish that she is herself, not her.

If anyone asked, she planned to tell them that she was sick, an excuse she had already thought of.

Bo Shangwang was born as a god on the altar. She had never come into contact with mortals, nor had she tried to understand the mortal world, and even regarded this place as a place to dump her body.

Finally, she got here by accident, and realized that everything here grew and flourished, and it was not a void. In order to act in this world, she put together a bunch of things and disguised herself as a mortal.

After waiting for a long time, there was finally some movement. These two men were really slow. Wang Wei complained and sensed that the two men had gone out, so he followed them.

Fangqiu is extremely lively during the day, with vendors' stalls clustered in the streets and alleys, and pedestrians jostling each other.

The boundaries of many places in Fangqiu City are narrow, which is not conducive to tracking and hiding. In order to take out the small change that Huo Feng gave him yesterday, Wang bought a folding fan at a stall and prepared to use it as a disguise.

In fact, it wasn't that casual, she even struggled for a while over the different patterns.

There are so many products that it’s really dizzying.

The pure white folding fan sprinkled with gold powder matched the blue silk dress quite well. She rarely refused to use the small mirror on the opposite stall to look at herself. Her white hair shone in the sun, making her look more refined and lively.

Along the way, she received a lot of compliments, mostly from young and beautiful women. Her eyes were filled with satisfaction, and she didn't expect that ordinary people could have such good taste.

This was her first shopping experience in the mortal world, and it was extremely novel to her. Although the heavenly world also had a non-genuine immortal market that imitated the mortal world, she couldn't go around with that status, so she had never been there once.

If she wasn't still following, she would definitely have stayed at these interesting stalls for a long time.

It seemed that everything on every stall could attract her. Even a pile of reeds full of candied haws would make her take a second look.

Are those a bunch of bright red lanterns? Hope asked.

It was not until I heard a child nearby pulling his adult and saying, "Mom, I want to eat candied haws!" that I was surprised. Only then did I realize that the thing was actually edible and sweet.

"These two damn bastards went out so late and made me encounter these things I have never seen before, wasting time. If the market was not open, I would not want to see these." Wang Wei was indignant.

She blamed all the mistakes on those two people, and Zhou Yong, who was walking in front, sneezed twice.

Su Lie: "Brother Zhou, what's wrong with you? Did you catch a cold last night? A-choo——"

Zhou Yong: "No, I'm in good health. Did you infect me?"

Su Lie: "It's not me either. Okay, okay, we're here. It's that house."

He pointed to a house with an ancient gate in front of him.

Jianyufang Gambling House is the largest place for gambling on stones in the entire Fangqiu. The reason why it is the largest is not only because of its large house and wide land, but also because of the high platform behind it.

Zhou Yong exclaimed in amazement: "This storefront looks quite decent, it's different from the gambling houses we went to before."

"Of course!" Su Lie raised his chin, his eyes shining, "This is a real gambler's paradise. Playing cards and dice are too low-level. Gambling is the real high-level place."

"Then why are we going to this place? Don't other places have gambling stones?" Zhou Yong looked around.

"This is the largest gambling house. Of course there are others, but none of them are as good as this one." Su Lie seemed to know all these gambling houses like the back of his hand. "The local bureaucrats and powerful families in Fangqiu are all involved in the business of this gambling house. It is a semi-official organization with credibility guaranteed. I can't guarantee whether other small gambling houses are safe."

"Boss Liang here has been to Yangyue. I met him once. I wonder if he recognized me."

Zhou Yong opened his mouth blankly: "I didn't expect Brother Su to be so hidden."

"That's the Fangqiu Liang family, one of the eight great families! It's a great thing for little people like us to be able to meet them." Su Lie showed a satisfied smile.

The Fangqiu Liang clan was the first country to surrender during the Twelve Kingdoms Rebellion.

They spent little time and money on post-war reconstruction and instead focused more on developing business.

Because the leader of the Liang family accidentally found the location of many jade veins during the war, he realized that there were countless treasures hidden in the surrounding mountains and forests. They decided to cease fire and start digging while negotiating.

There was no chance of winning this battle, especially during the Liang generation. The king did not like to go to court, but preferred to go to the market, and even often sold the treasures in the palace for fun.

There is no desire to fight and no chance of winning, so it is better not to invest too much from the beginning.

Now it seems that Fangqiu Liangshi has won. Although they are located in a remote area, they occupy the world's most expensive jade mines and water sources.

By the previous generations, the King of Easy Wins had already laid a solid financial foundation and gradually started the business of gambling on stones.

It has grown bigger and stronger and continues to this day.

Liang Pan, the current head of the Fangqiu Liang family, was in charge of Jianyufang. The rest of the Liang family was arranged to be the shopkeepers, to control all situations on the scene, and there were also people sent in by the behind-the-scenes bosses of various families.

He has a friendly face and his chubby body does not make him look fat. Instead, he looks lean and capable.

He always smiles on weekdays, and his smile looks very much like the Laughing Buddha Maitreya in the Buddhist temple. He is also given a resounding nickname by the guests - "Liang Maitreya".

Liang Mi Le was strolling in the field at this time, enjoying the respectful eyes of everyone. Since ancient times, people have never hit smiling people. Whether it is identity or attitude, this "Mitler" has it all.

Wang Wei followed Zhou Su and the others into the Jade Art Gallery. A woman standing at the door stopped her and said, "Miss, you have contraband on you. You cannot bring it in. You can leave it at the side."

Wang Wei frowned and thought, aren't they mortals? How did they know she had a dagger on her body... and what was that strange stone that was sweeping around on her body?

The woman was not surprised and explained patiently: "We found it when we passed the security check with this magnet." She held up the magnet in her hand for Wang Wei to check.

The material of this thing seems familiar, as if I have seen it somewhere.

"It's amazing." Wang Wei couldn't help but admire, and then she obediently took out the dagger hidden in her boots and sleeves and went to the storage area nearby.

The administrator of the storage office handed Wang Wei a jade sign with "Jiachen" written on it, which corresponded to the cabinet with the word "Jiachen" engraved on it where the dagger was stored.

"Please take your jade sign. When you come out, remember to come here to get your stored items. Thank you for your hard work and help you win the first battle." The girl at the counter spoke in a soft voice and a perfect smile. Even when she saw that Wang Wei took out a dagger, she provided service without changing her expression.

What does it mean to win the first battle?

Wang Wei suddenly remembered that when she first arrived in the mortal world, she had seen an object made of similar material to the lodestone in Tianzhou. The young man who had the luck to escape from her was holding this object, which was called a compass.

We walked along a winding corridor, with many bouquet plants planted on both sides. The leafless shrubs were trimmed into the shapes of copper coins and jade. There were three or two people there enjoying the flowers and chatting.

Walk further in and turn a few corners, and the view suddenly opens up.

It was a grand hall, with dim lights. There were many independent tables in the hall, and a circle of people sat around each seat. On each table were stones of varying sizes, some as big as rockery, and some as small as a man's fist.

Occasionally, there were sparse cheers and joy, interweaving with the sounds of polishing and cutting stones.

Wang Wei looked around and found that there was a place like a private room on the second floor, and there seemed to be quite a few people inside. But the space was hidden, in order to isolate the outside world and not allow onlookers.

There is a long plaque hanging above the main hall, which reads:

"Even gods cannot tell the difference between a piece of jade and water can only be found where dragons are."

Wang Wei looked at the plaque, snorted coldly, raised his chin, and repeated the words on the plaque. Although his face was expressionless, his heart was severely controlled.

"Goddess" - obviously referring to her, Bo Shangwangwei. She promised that there would not be another god in this place.

"Water" - All the water in the world comes from her and the Chenzhongtian under her control. She says it will rain when she wants it to rain, and she says it will rain wherever she wants it to rain.

What does it have to do with dragons? Dragons are just monsters in heaven. They are either eaten by gods or used as mounts by gods.

If she said this wasn't directed at her, she wouldn't believe it! Even the mortal world knew that she was down and out, and she had such provocative words on the second day after entering the city. Wang Wei was thinking about something in her heart, and she didn't notice that someone was approaching her.

"Is this your first time here?" A gentle male voice came from behind her. She was slightly startled, but fortunately the movement was not big and no one noticed.

She turned around and saw that it was a middle-aged man who was dressed in a very lucky manner.

"I'm Liang Pan, the boss of this Jianyufang, and everyone calls me--" Before Liang Pan could finish his words, a voice of "Lord Maitreya" from the side interrupted the conversation.

Liang Pan politely apologized and went to the next table. It turned out that the stone in the guest's hand had been cut out of a corner, and it had been identified as "good jade", but part of it was accidentally damaged during cutting, leaving some flaws.

The Maitreya Lord was not ambiguous and asked someone to bring another piece of fine jadeite from the store as compensation. Even if the customer was not a regular customer, he must have known the rules here. He was not angry when he saw his jade was damaged, but directly called the boss to deal with it. He must have known that he would not really lose money.

The light shines on the emerald green stone, dazzling.

But the jade master who was cutting open the jade for appraisal... Wang Wei looked at the jade master standing in the dark. He had a terrified expression on his face, and his whole body was shaking like a sieve, as if a disaster was about to happen.

Looking at the side, Liang Mile was surrounded by people and was comforting the guests with a smile.

I hope to conclude that this laughing Buddha is definitely fake.

——This is not a laughing Buddha, it is a smiling tiger.

Soon the incident was resolved, and the jade master was taken away by several people and disappeared. Liang Pan did not forget to look at this new guest. He walked over slowly, holding a jade box wrapped in brocade in his hand.

"Miss, it's okay if it's your first time here. We will definitely treat you well. I see you walked around for a while, but you didn't bring any stones, and you didn't choose any from the market. We will make things convenient for first-time customers." As he spoke, he opened the jade box with one hand, and inside lay a few small stones. At first glance, they looked very ordinary, and were covered with dirt and dust.

"There are some rough stones in this box. I wonder if there are any top-quality jadeite inside. Miss, you can choose any one based on your intuition. Our jade master will help you cut it open for free. No matter what is inside, you can take it away."

Wang Wei stared at the stones very seriously. Liang Mile smiled even more when he saw that she had joined the game.

"Miss, you choose..."

"Boss Liang, I have a question for you." Wang Wei spoke. Liang Mile thought she wanted to ask about the secret of selection and was about to tell him some common sense, but he saw Wang Wei pointing at a plaque hanging high in the center in the distance.

"What does that mean?"

——Even gods cannot tell the difference between an inch of jade and water can only be found where dragons are.

Liang Pan obviously didn't expect that anyone would care about the dusty plaque.
