The moment he passed through the thick fog, the roaring voices behind him, the fanatical roars, the crisp sound of jade chips colliding... were all cut off by an invisible barrier. Instead, there was an eerie silence.
There is no sky or earth here. What you step on is no longer solid jade, but an endless, slowly flowing sea of clouds, exuding delicate soft light. Above your head, there is a dazzling galaxy made up of hundreds of millions of stars, slowly rotating at a constant speed.
The entire "Damengtian" is composed of countless suspended jade platforms of different sizes, connected to each other by slender arch bridges condensed by rainbow light. These pavilions and pavilions float quietly between the sea of clouds and the stars, and are magnificent.
"This place... let alone a casino, I would believe it if you say it is a fairyland above the Nine Heavens." Ku Rong deliberately lowered his voice.
A few people stepped on the sea of clouds under their feet and walked in. Compared with the outfield, there were very few people here, and there were only twos and threes of gamblers on each jade platform. Regardless of whether they were male or female, all of them were dressed in luxurious clothes and had deep breaths. But their faces did not have the crazy expressions of outside gamblers. Everyone was surprisingly quiet, staring at the gaming table in front of them with serious expressions.
And everyone sitting at the gaming table has a soft golden light beam hanging above their heads.
Lin Qingyang carried Cang Mo and walked to the nearest gambling table. There were two people sitting opposite each other at the table. One was a seasoned man with white beard and hair and an immortal spirit, and the other was Demon Clan, a man with a handsome face and a pair of purple vertical pupils.
The old man's face was as pale as paper at the moment, with cold sweat on his forehead. The hand holding the dice cup kept shaking. He stared at the Demon Clan man opposite him and squeezed out a few hoarse words from his throat. "... thirty years!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a fist-sized red ball of light appeared out of thin air above his head. The ball of light was translucent, with faint traces of life flowing inside.
The Demon Clan man opposite smiled, a trace of undisguised greed flashed through his purple vertical pupils, and he said one word lightly, "Follow."
After saying that, an equally illusory red ball of light appeared above his head.
"They are betting their longevity?!" Ku Rong said in shock.
A man in rich clothes who was watching nearby heard the sound, glanced sideways at them, and chuckled, "Is it your first time here? This is the rule of 'Da Mengtian'. Here, everything can be bets, and the exit will take effect immediately, which will form a 'false bet'. If you lose..."
Before he finished speaking, the Demon Clan man at the gambling table had already opened the dice cup. Two white bone dice lay quietly on the scarlet base, and they were two six points.
The old Daoist's eyes dimmed instantly, as if all the energy in his body was drained by this glance. He opened his dice cup tremblingly and desperately, 1516.
The moment the points appeared, the red "virtual injection" light ball above Lao Dao's head instantly condensed from translucence into a substantial orb that was as warm as jade and lingering in the light of blood.
"Ah..."
The old Daoist only had time to let out a short and desperate sigh, before his body quickly shriveled up at a speed visible to the naked eye. His immortal face was instantly covered with ravine-like wrinkles, his skin lost moisture, and every inch of his silver hair turned to gray.
But in the blink of an eye, the whole person collapsed like a sand sculpture that had been eroded by the wind for thousands of years, turning into a pile of gray dust and dissipating in the sea of clouds.
Obviously, thirty years is the end of his life.
The longevity orb floated slowly towards man Demon Clan, and turned into a golden jade chip with "thirty" engraved on it in his palm. Man Demon Clan casually threw the jade chip into his pile of chips without even raising his eyelids, as if he just won an ordinary game.
"This... is simply crazy! This place is so evil!" Ku Rong frowned.
At this moment, a beam of bright golden light fell from the sky without any warning, covering Lin Qingyang accurately.
"What's going on? You didn't go to the gambling table!" Mo Yan said nervously.
Lin Qingyang raised his head slightly, looked at the golden light, and said nothing. Cang Mo in his arms was covered in this light, and seemed to smell some extremely disgusting smell, and wrinkled his furry face in disgust.
Then, two attendants in white wearing smiling masks appeared silently from nowhere, bowed to Lin Qingyang, and made a "please" gesture.
"It's an invitation from Fairy Linglong." The man in gorgeous clothes spoke again, looking curiously at the sick young man in front of him.
"It just so happens that I came here for her too." Lin Qingyang smoothed the wolf cub's back hair soothingly and followed the two attendants calmly, walking deeper into the sea of clouds.
Everyone passed through the suspended jade platforms and arrived at the center of the Dream Sky.
Here is a crystal clear pond, filled with gleaming glazed lotus flowers. In the center of the pond, there is a gambling table made entirely of pink crystals. A girl in a pink gauze skirt is sitting on the edge of the table, playing with the water splashes with her white feet out of boredom.
The girl looks to be no more than thirteen or fourteen years old. She wears a double bun and has a fair and pink face. She is innocent and cute, like an exquisite porcelain doll.
"Is this Fairy Linglong?" Ku Rong said unexpectedly, "Why is this a little girl?"
Hai Lan whispered, "It's not about her appearance. It is said that she has been guarding the gate here for five hundred years."
Lin Qingyang hugged Cang Mo and walked along the path on the pool to the crystal gaming table.
The girl then lazily raised her head. Her eyes fell directly on the black hair ball in his arms. A greed that was completely inconsistent with her appearance instantly appeared in her originally innocent eyes.
"Is this little thing the one that blew up the scales outside?" Fairy Linglong's voice was as clear as a silver bell, but her tone was full of condescending playfulness.
Lin Qingyang smiled slightly and said, "Exactly."
"Interesting." Fairy Linglong stood up and walked around Lin Qingyang with bare feet, her eyes always glued to Cang Mo. She couldn't help but reach out and want to touch Cang Mo's head, "Let me see what kind of treasure it is..."
Before Cang Mo could show his teeth, Lin Qingyang waved his sleeve and blocked the girl's hand.
"He has a bad temper and bit the fairy. I can't afford to pay for it." Lin Qingyang said calmly.
Fairy Linglong touched the air, her face sank slightly, but she soon giggled sweetly. "Just right, I like strong ones."
After saying that, he turned around and sat back in front of the crystal table, looking at Lin Qingyang as if he was determined to win. "The value of your chips is too high, and none of the gamblers outside can afford the corresponding capital. Therefore, I can only bet with you personally."
Lin Qingyang lowered his eyes, gently rubbed Cang Mo's ears with his fingertips, and said lightly, "What if I said, I just came in for a visit and don't want to gamble?"
Fairy Linglong's laughter stopped suddenly, and a trace of anger appeared on her innocent face. "Da Mengtian has Da Mengtian's rules. When you come in, you have to gamble. If you don't want to gamble, you have to leave 10,000 jade chips as toll before you can go out."
She paused and looked at Cang Mo again. "You don't have a jade chip. If you want to walk out with all your hair, you have no choice but to keep him."
Lin Qingyang looked down at Cang Mo, who was already impatient in his arms, and sighed helplessly, "It seems I have no choice."
