Chapter 180: The Evil Luck Spirit Bone Dice

　　The dots of blue ghostly flames hovered around the three of them, cautiously not daring to come closer.

　　Lu Fei opened his palm and burst into laughter.

　　"Four, middle, I won! Pay up, pay up, one hundred each!"

　　Hu Zi was taken aback: "Wait, Boss, you really want money?"

　　"Of course! We have to go all the way, can you attract gambling addicts without being real about it?" Lu Fei said with great conviction, stretching out his hand towards the two of them.

　　Huzi, extremely unwilling, took out a hundred yuan.

　　Lu Fei found a small stone and used it to press the banknote in front of him.

　　"Banxian, where's your money?"

　　"I don't have any money, can I owe you for now?" Banxian Jia smiled with a thick skin.

　　"You should have said so earlier; if you don't have money, I can lend you some." Lu Fei took out pen and paper and quickly wrote an IOU, "I'll lend you a thousand, and you just need to pay me back fifteen hundred!"

　　Saying this, he took out a thousand yuan in cash and gave it to Jia Banxian.

　　"Did I hear that right? I need to pay back fifteen hundred? Even loan sharks aren't this ruthless!" Jia Banxian was dumbfounded.

　　"No problem, maybe you'll turn things around in the next round!"

　　Lu Fei clapped his hands together again.

　　"Big or small this time?"

　　Tiger timidly said, "Then I'll choose middle this time."

　　Jia Banxian thought for a moment and said, "I'll still choose small."

　　"Alright!" Lu Fei cupped the dice in his hand and shook them vigorously, all the while keeping an eye on their surroundings.

　　The ghostly flames around them drew closer and closer, almost floating right by the three of them.

　　The three exchanged glances, pretending not to notice.

　　The little black dog burrowed into its owner's arms, silent as a mouse.

　　"Open!"

　　Lu Fei opened his palm.

　　"Six, big, I won again! Haha, pay up, pay up!"

　　"How did I lose again?"

　　Huzi and Jia Banxian gave the money grudgingly, rolling up their sleeves with reluctance.

　　"Again, I choose big this time."

　　"I choose small; I refuse to believe this nonsense!"

　　The competitive spirit in both of them was ignited, clenching their fists and rubbing their hands together.

　　However, they continued to lose several rounds in a row.

　　"Boss, how come you win every time? Are you cheating?" Huzi scratched his head in frustration.

　　"Friend, if you can't afford to lose, don't play. Accept your loss gracefully!" Lu Fei raised his eyes.

　　Those ghostly flames had somehow transformed into a group of pale figures, forming a circle, their hollow eyes fixed on the dice in Lu Fei's hand, filled with deep longing.

　　It was about time.

　　"Gentlemen, do you want to try your luck? You might break even today!" He smiled, looking around at these gambling addicts.

　　As soon as these words were spoken, the gambling ghosts became restless.

　　But their pockets were cleaner than their faces; they had been bled dry by the gambling house in life, and after death, no one offered them anything. Where would they get the money to gamble?

　　"If you don't have money, something valuable will do," Lu Fei added.

　　After a moment of silence, the gambling ghosts suddenly scattered, moving in and out of various graves, searching for something valuable with great effort.

　　The scene was absurd and bizarre.

　　"The boss's brain is just amazing; this method is too effective!" Hu Zi kept clicking his tongue in amazement.

　　Jia Banxian, on the other hand, kept checking the time, feeling both nervous and excited.

　　Just a few minutes later, the gambling ghosts began to return one by one.

　　Some brought a handful of dry straw, others a piece of tattered mat, and some even tried to pass off a few pebbles as valuables.

　　"These are worthless. Find something else!"

　　Lu Fei waved his hand and dismissed them all.

　　Then more gamblers came over with heaps of junk, but there was still no sign of the human bone dice they needed.

　　In a blink of an eye, only ten minutes were left.

　　Jia Banxian gazed at the gamblers, sweat breaking out on his forehead.

　　"Banxian, could you have made a mistake? There's no such thing as those so-called Evil Fortune Spirit Bone Dice here," Lu Fei wondered to himself.

　　"Absolutely not!"

　　Jia Banxian said with certainty.

　　Another five minutes passed.

　　Lu Fei had already made up his mind. If he couldn't find the Evil Fortune Spirit Bone Dice by the time the clock struck, he would run, not staying a second longer beside Jia Banxian.

　　Three minutes remained.

　　A small, frail gambler finally pushed his way to the front, his hollow eyes glowing with a fanatical light.

　　"Boss, want to play? Bring something valuable." Lu Fei no longer held out much hope.

　　The gambler reached out his hand, and in the middle of his pale palm was actually a bone die.

　　The three of them were first stunned, then their eyes widened.

　　Just as Jia Banxian was about to reach for it, the gambler drew back the die and pointed at the makeshift wooden die Lu Fei had created, indicating he wanted to bet with it.

　　Huzi couldn't help but worry: "Boss, if this die really wins every game, there's no way we can win."

　　"Who said you have to win to take the die?"

　　With a faint smile, Lu Fei pulled out the thunderstruck jujube wood stick and struck the gambler with it.

　　Before the gambler could react, he vanished into a puff of smoke, the flashing blue arc scaring the other gamblers into fleeing.

　　The die rolled on the ground.

　　"Good heavens, so it's a hard grab!" Hu Zi was shocked.

　　Jia Banxian pounced and grabbed it, overjoyed.

　　"The Evil Luck Spirit Bone Dice, I've got it, I really got it! Banxian, I finally no longer have to wander about!"

　　He held the dice, kissing it repeatedly, not minding at all that it was made from a dead person's skull.

　　At this point, exactly an hour had passed.

　　To be on the safe side, Lu Fei still kept his distance from Jia Banxian.

　　"Banxian, my calculations were indeed correct! The chance of survival is in Jiangcheng, and in this Lu kid! Hahaha!"

　　Jia Banxian, holding the human bone dice as if it were a treasure, laughed and jumped with joy.

　　"From now on, I will eat full meals every day, sleep in a big bed, and never have to hide anymore!"

　　"Senior Banxian, since you've got what you wanted, it's time to fulfill your promise, right?" Lu Fei shouted from a distance.

　　"Of course, of course! Let's go down the mountain and talk as we walk." Jia Banxian was beaming, waving at Lu Fei, "Ah, you don't need to stay so far away. With this die, I can change my luck."

　　"Go on."

　　Lu Fei, holding the little black dog, cautiously approached Jia Banxian. Seeing that nothing unusual happened, he felt relieved.

　　Everyone went down the mountain along the same path they came up.

　　"Actually, the reason I had such bad luck was because I helped someone perform a 'walk in the shadows' and offended some entities down there," Jia Banxian said as they walked.

　　"Did this have anything to do with my grandfather?" Lu Fei couldn't help but interrupt him.

　　"Of course it did. The person I helped was your grandfather."

　　"My grandfather, a 'walker in the shadows'?" Lu Fei was shocked.

　　A 'walk in the shadows' is a folk practice where people with special fates can project their souls into the netherworld to communicate with the dead.

　　Those who are skilled in this practice not only can 'walk in the shadows' themselves but can also take others with them.

　　What is grandfather doing in the underworld?

　　The black umbrella and the runes on the map are both yin talismans, could this be related?

　　"Half Immortal, what's really going on? Three years ago, what exactly happened to my grandfather?" Lu Fei asked urgently.

　　Jia Half Immortal waved his hand: "Lu boy, don't be in a hurry, let me tell you slowly."
