Chapter 190: The unprecedented 9-dragon mountain gambling bodhi conference
"Bang, bang, bang!..." The roar of 81 consecutive rounds of nine cannons resounded through the sky, and the Jiulongling Bodhi Gambling Conference, which was held every five years, opened grandly! This year's conference was organized by the Yilong Gang, and the venue was set up in the valley open space of Panlong Mountain behind the Yilong Gang headquarters.
This time, the nine major parties sent out invitations, inviting nearly 80,000 guests to watch the game and participate in the auction of Vajra Bodhi seeds after the game. The Bodhi Gambling Conference is a major event in Jiulongling, and it will last for three full days. During these three days, Jiulongling was as lively as the Chinese New Year, with lights and decorations everywhere, laughter and joy. Almost all the small vendors have made sufficient preparations, wanting to make a fortune in these three days. Fortunately, the venue is large enough, and it is very spacious even if it accommodates 500,000 people. Therefore, in the center of the valley, 200,000 seats for spectators are set up around the stadium, and nine temporary market squares are opened on the periphery. Each market square is a gathering place for vendors in the area under the jurisdiction of the Yilong Gang to the Jiulong Gang. Such a conference must benefit all nine parties. This also shows the broad-mindedness of the Yilong Gang, which will not monopolize the benefits, but share good things with everyone. Because of this, the other eight gangs are very convinced of Yilong Gang's status as the "big brother". Even the "second", "third" and "fifth" gang members who have done a lot of bad things in private appear to be very obedient on the surface.
This is also a good day for mutual communication that happens once every five years, so the entire Panlong Valley is filled with people's laughter and joy. Even the spiritual plants and trees seem to be affected and become particularly energetic.
It is said that the number of participants this time is the largest in all previous conferences. In order to ensure safety and order, Jiulongling has specially applied to the alliance for a law enforcement team of 1,000 people to help maintain order. Under the deterrence of the powerful law enforcement team, even some people who sneaked in and wanted to do something small quietly put away their bad intentions and dared not take action for the time being.
In order to make it clear for everyone, a high-level array master was specially invited to carve a backlight array group in the center of the venue, which can transmit the situation in the venue to the array center in real time, and the center will generate a three-dimensional image, which is the same as the effect of amplifying the live image and sound ten times at the same time, clear and real, providing the audience with the best audio-visual experience. This array group also has a special function, which is to zoom in and replay a local close-up, so that it can provide corresponding close-up images or images in conjunction with the words of the commentator, emcee, and referee, making it more vivid and clear for people to see.
To be fair, the referees this time were all seventh- and eighth-grade spiritual plant masters, well-known treasure appraisers, and spiritual weapon masters invited from the alliance. Even the famous Vajra Bodhi appraiser, Old Song, was invited. Old Song was particularly famous in the treasure appraisal circle and was currently one of the chief treasure appraisers of the largest business, Wanbao Pavilion. He was originally difficult to invite, but when he heard that this time he could see nearly three hundred Bodhi fruits provided by the old tree king, this was a great temptation for Old Song, who was a Bodhi seed fanatic, and he agreed without hesitation, and even did not ask for any compensation, as long as he could leave him a fruit of the Bodhi tree king and let him buy it at a fair price.
Although 300 King Fruits may sound like a lot, it is pitifully small for the 80,000 guests who are eager to see them. Moreover, the nine major gangs in Jiulongling will not sell all the King Fruits. At most, they will sell half of them at the auction. It is already quite a good deal to be able to use a backdoor to let Master Song sell them at a fair price.
Because the alliance wanted to show how well Jiulongling had developed after the surrender, it not only sent a law enforcement team to provide strong support, but also sent a publicity team to be responsible for special reporting and live broadcasting. In this way, Jiulongling became more famous, and its beautiful environment, simple folk customs and the most famous Vajra Bodhi seeds entered the vision of people all over the world.
Looking at the bustling crowd, Yun Bai and the other five were also very excited. Yun Bai followed the method of Old Man Long and tried to absorb the rising "popularity" here. Although the amount absorbed was much less than when Old Man Long was here, the effect was still very good. While watching the game, she absorbed energy, and in the spiritual space, small spiritual stars lit up one after another.
The conference is divided into three parts. The first round is for the Bodhi trees selected by the nine families. Nine Bodhi fruits are selected from each tree to participate in the competition. Because the trees cannot be dug up and brought to the main venue, the Bodhi fruits must be picked on site under the full accompaniment of supervisors. After marking, a special person will be responsible for transporting the Bodhi fruits to the main venue, and finally a special person will be responsible for receiving them.
The second round is the much-anticipated Fruit King Showdown. The Old Tree King treats all nine families equally. He will prepare nine sets of Fruit Kings in advance, each with 30 pieces. And mark them with serial numbers from one to nine. The nine families draw lots to get a number from one to nine, that is, they get the Fruit King with the corresponding serial number. The other 20 pieces given to the Kowloon Gang will be distributed after all the nine families have received them. Each family can choose 9 Fruit Kings to open on the spot and participate in the competition - the Kowloon Gang can choose from 50 Fruit Kings, and the chances of winning will be greater. However, because no one can see what the Bodhi seeds look like before the fruit peel is actually opened, no matter how many or how few there are, if you don’t have good eyesight and good luck, you can’t win.
The third round is the on-site auction. The nine major families will select a certain number of Vajra Bodhi seeds for the auction, and will also take out a portion of the participating Bodhi seeds for the boutique auction.
In addition, there will be high-, medium- and low-end Bodhi seeds or handmade Bodhi seed accessories for sale in the nine markets outside the valley. After the race, people can just stroll around and maybe find something they like.
The MC was Madam Qian Ling, the chief auctioneer of Kowloon Auction House. She also had another identity, that is, the wife of Wang Junlong, the leader of Yilong Gang. She was a very beautiful middle-aged woman, intellectual and gentle, and very good at grasping people's hearts. She could often speak wittily and praise an auction item to the sky with a few words, attracting people to bid. In the end, not only could the auction item be sold at a high price, but it also made the bidder feel that he had obtained an excellent treasure, and then he was satisfied and wanted to pay in advance, as if he was afraid that it would be snatched away by others.
Sure enough, under the high-level hosting of Madam Qianling, the already grand and lively venue soon became even more lively. People tend to follow the crowd, and under the influence of such a lively scene, almost everyone's emotions became extremely high. Some people even got so excited that their faces turned red. They stared at the screen above the venue with wide eyes, waiting for the first round of the Bodhi Competition to officially begin!
