Chapter 1489 The Truth About the Gamble
"Do you suspect that it's not a coincidence that the teacher accepted us as students?" Although Zhou Wen was a little skeptical, he still felt that this kind of thing seemed unlikely.
"Who knows? Anyway, I always feel that something is wrong." Liuyun paused and said, "Do you remember the time when the old man came to you?"
"Is it the time when he made a bet with the teacher?" Zhou Wen certainly still remembered it.
Jing Daoxian used a pseudonym to ask him for help to get on the Rubik's Cube rankings. Zhou Wen also accepted his companion pet, but in the end he did not help him get on the list.
Jing Daoxian was also surprised. He had said at the beginning that it was okay for Zhou Wen not to help him get on the list. But Jing Daoxian really didn't bother Zhou Wen and didn't even take back the companion pet he gave to Zhou Wen.
"Yes." Liu Yun nodded and said, "Although my meeting with the old man was a coincidence, it was because of me that the teacher got to know the old man and then made the bet. I always feel a little weird about it."
"What's going on with that bet?" Zhou Wen couldn't understand why Jing Daoxian told him the content of the bet directly. It was obvious that as long as Zhou Wen knew the bet, Jing Daoxian would definitely lose.
Therefore, Zhou Wen always felt that their bet should not be as simple as Jing Daoxian said.
"The content of the bet is actually very simple. Just like what the old man told you, if you help him get on the list, then he wins. If you don't help him, then the teacher wins."
"Is it really that simple?" Zhou Wen still couldn't believe it.
Liuyun took a breath before continuing, "If you say it's simple, then it's simple. If you say it's not simple, then it's not simple either. The final result of the bet is this, but there are some additional conditions. The teacher cannot tell you anything related to the bet. Only the old man can contact you."
Zhou Wen roughly understood a little bit, but he still looked at Liuyun, waiting for his explanation.
"The old man told you everything clearly, but he is Jing Daoxian. Do you dare to believe him?" Liuyun asked back.
"I dare not." Zhou Wen naturally did not dare to completely believe Jing Daoxian. In fact, he had doubted it before.
"That's right. No one would believe the words of Jing Daoxian, the Federation's number one devil. So the more he tells you the truth, the more suspicious you become. Plus, since the teacher can't come forward to explain, most people might overthink it and help him climb the rankings." Liuyun laughed and said, "The old man was betting that you wouldn't believe him, that you would have doubts in your heart and would misinterpret things. Unfortunately, he lost the bet in the end. I didn't expect you to be so determined and not give him any chance at all."
Zhou Wen smiled bitterly in his heart. He was not actually that determined. It was just that things were very troublesome at the time, forcing him to keep working, and he didn't care about this matter at all.
Later, when he remembered this incident, Venus had already exploded, so it naturally came to nothing.
Unexpectedly, he helped Wang Mingyuan defeat Jing Daoxian in this way. This was something Zhou Wen himself had not expected. It was purely unintentional.
"What's their bet?" Zhou Wen asked again.
"I don't know. Only they know the stakes. I don't know what they are betting on either." Liuyun said helplessly.
In this world, there are not many secrets that Liuyun cannot overhear, and there are not many people who can stop him from eavesdropping on secrets. But that time there happened to be two people who could stop him, so Liuyun really heard nothing.
Zhou Wen didn't know whether Liuyun was lying or not, but thinking about Wang Mingyuan and Jing Daoxian's style of doing things, he felt that the possibility of Liuyun knowing was indeed very small.
Zhou Wen had no choice but to ask, "Why did you follow Jing Daoxian to Laojun Mountain to get this gourd?"
"Didn't the old man tell you last time that his life span is coming to an end, and he must find a way to prolong his life. The simplest and most direct way, of course, is to create an elixir of immortality. This gourd and millstone are treasures used by Laojun in mythology to make elixirs. They have magical powers, and the old man wants to use them to make medicine." Liuyun didn't hesitate and told Jing Daoxian the purpose of his trip.
While the two were chatting, Zhou Wen suddenly heard a roar coming from under Laojun Terrace, and a ferocious beast was rushing towards Laojun Terrace.
"Strange!" Zhou Wen used his listening skills to scan the area below the mountain and discovered that the dimensional creature that came was not a giant bear.
It was a monster with a golden body, which looked like a tiger but not a tiger, and a lion but not a lion. It was covered with scales and had horns on its head.
From a distance, it looks a bit like the mythical Qilin, but if you look closely, it doesn't look like it, and it's hard to tell what kind of creature it is.
"Could it be that the terrifying creature the survivors mentioned before was this one, and not the giant bear?" Zhou Wen suddenly realized that he had been wrong from the beginning.
He instinctively thought that there was probably only one natural disaster creature on Laojun Terrace, but he didn't expect there was another one. The so-called "there can't be two tigers in one mountain" did not seem to exist here.
The monster roared and rushed up the steps of Laojun Terrace, then disappeared from Zhou Wen's sensing range, as if it had become invisible out of thin air.
Rumble!
After a while, Zhou Wen sensed that a terrifying force erupted at the seventh level, causing the entire Laojun Terrace to shake violently.
Bang bang!
The eighth stage... the ninth stage... the tenth stage...
Step by step, terrifying explosive power was released, causing Laojun Terrace to shake continuously.
"I don't know if the old man can bear it. I have to be faster." Liuyun continued to feed the magic gourd. Every time he fed one, he would move the magic gourd.
Although it still cannot be lifted now, it can be pushed. It looks like it won’t be long before it can be lifted.
The horrific noise outside continued, but the higher the steps went, the slower the connected explosions became.
Zhou Wen listened carefully for a while, then said in surprise, "It seems that Jing Daoxian used the power of the thirty-three steps to block that dimensional creature. Although that dimensional creature is very powerful, it probably won't be able to rush over for a while."
roar!
Who knew that just as Zhou Wen finished speaking, he heard another roar, and saw the giant blue bear rushing towards him violently, and it also rushed up the stairs.
Then there was a burst of crackling sounds, and the stone steps were breached one by one. The giant bear rushed up madly. Zhou Wen could even see a dragon-like smoke lingering behind the giant bear.
"My dear grandson, how is the feeding of the magic gourd? I'm afraid I can't hold on for much longer." Jing Daoxian pushed open the door, stood outside the door, looked inside and said.
"He's almost old enough to be held in the arms. I think two or three more pills will be enough." Liuyun replied.
