Chapter 19
"Hmm..." Shangluo actually read tea divination methods in magazines, and this "Secret Technique of the Western Regions" always makes people feel very effective.

However, this cup of black tea poured out of the beverage machine has already bottomed out, but there are only a small amount of tea leaves, which is not enough for divination.

[Miscalculated, there is no usable tea dregs at all.Get out your cards and let's do the divination. 】

Shang Luo checked his pocket by the way to see if everything was there.Before Jin Yiwei was about to kill him, he could only bring his wallet and ID, as well as two items related to Apollonia: the music box and the playing cards.

These are all packed in a small fanny pack, which is slung across his shoulders.Nothing else.

However, there are about 50 taels of treasure bills and silver dollars in cash on hand, so there is no need to worry about not having enough food for the time being.

"Then, let's start divination."

He glanced in the direction of the clerk first.The clerk was looking at him, too, but just smiled at him—really, there was nothing embarrassing about it.There is nothing unusual about taking out tarot cards for divination in Las Vegas.

Shangluo opened the small box containing the playing cards.

"Huh???" There was nothing inside.But still heavy.

He tried turning the box upside down, but there was still nothing inside.

"Hello." He reached into his pocket and touched Apollonia, "What's going on here? Where are the cards?"

[Of course the cards are in the box—not now, are they?Don't let go, touch me with your left hand, and open your right hand to see. 】

According to Apollonia's instructions, Shangluo opened the box again.Sure enough, the heavy box was full of cards.

"why is that?"

[Because the process of my casting is to exhaust the 'possibilities' of that set of cards—so the cards that are just magic props have the ability to link to the Akashic records.The same is true for the music box, which shows a 'profile' of me, containing infinite magical machines, so that I can be repaired as a machine.Now I'm basically back to normal, and the link to the Akashic Records has also become normal, so I can't send random signals like before. 】

"Then how do I use it later?"

[You can hold me with one hand, keep in touch with me, and then use the other hand to manipulate. 】

"I still want to pinch you with one hand? What kind of magical weapon are you? Isn't this the same as Sun Houzi's water battle must be pinched with one hand to avoid water?"

[Trouble is better than bloodletting.And only now can I offer you truly manageable support.And only in this way can I solve the hexagram, and I couldn't figure out what it was before.For example, have you looked at the card in the box? 】

Isn't it the same?
The back of the card is indeed different. It used to be a gaudy starry sky, but now it has become pure white.Temperament also appeared on these cards-but these cards seemed to be focused on nothing else, and they didn't feel that they had any personality.But when he put his attention on these cards, he could feel a mysterious and mysterious aura.

Shang Luo conveniently drew a card out:

There are two hexagrams on the card from top to bottom.The upper part is the water hexagram, and the lower part is the thunder hexagram.

[Water and thunder, this is a hexagram. 】

"Wait, isn't this a tarot card? How did it change?"

[Because the Tarot cards are beyond the service area.Now Zhou Yilai takes over—actually because the box is a magic prop, and it contains playing cards.After I've 'exhausted' its possibilities, any card you need will appear in it.Just a little trick, never mind that much.It is not important to start the hexagram, it is important to solve the hexagram.Aren't you going to divination now?The divination has already begun.The Tun hexagram is your current original hexagram, which corresponds to the beginning of all things. Sometimes you will encounter difficulties and obstacles, but generally speaking, it is auspicious. 】

"Wait, wait! Did Zhou Yi draw a card? And this is the beginning? Then what should I do?"

[You want to save money, right?This is something you will be divining.Draw another card, and then solve the hexagram.Interpretation of hexagrams is much more important than hexagrams. 】

Shang Luo drew another card.This time, five of the six hexagrams are disconnected, and only the second one is connected.

[Well, there is water on the ground. 】

"Where is the water?"

[I said hexagrams!There is a water hexagram above the earth hexagram, and this hexagram is the 'bi' hexagram.Competing hexagrams is the sign of all returning, and it is very auspicious for collecting money.Good luck to you!Maybe the 270 million can be collected in a very short period of time. 】

"Very well, I would like to borrow your good words. But when do you plan to give me the formula of Zhu Jidan?"

[You can do it anytime you want.However, how to convey it to you is a problem.I can't dictate, the cause and effect are too heavy. 】

"Then what should I do? If you don't tell me, and you can't hold a pen, how can I get Danfang from you?"

[Leave it to me, you can set a time. 】

"That's tonight." He flipped through the map, "Actually, I'm not completely relieved of you. If the formula of Jidan is a weird thing, wouldn't I poison myself when I refine it? Every citizen of Ming Dynasty Everyone knows about the Hongwan case. I don't want to die suddenly in a month. So this afternoon."

He pointed to the Las Vegas Avenue on the map: "Today is the time for you to show your miracles. There are 69 casinos on this street, and there are 6 racetracks around it. These few have the latest steel balls." machine."

[Hey, hey, do you still want to go in and gamble? 】

"Tch, do you think I'm like those savages? I'm vulgar and stupid. How can I use a sledgehammer to kill a chicken with a magic machine? Besides, it's easy to be targeted by Jin Yiwei in a casino, just like the gang that held me hostage before. They are the same as human beings. Otherwise, how could they have recruited Jin Yiwei, who is sweeping the acupoints in Li Ting, so quickly?"

[Then what are you going to do? 】

"Las Vegas, who makes the best money? Gamblers! 69 casinos and 6 racetracks are all making money from gamblers. Why should I make money from gamblers? What about pulling teeth out of your mouth? And do you know what kind of gamblers make the best money? Of course, the gamblers above, these people, they dare to believe anything before they are about to drown."

[That makes sense, then how do you get the gamblers on top? 】

"Do I need to come here? Las Vegas lacks everything, but there is no shortage of gamblers above. I just need to spend a little time searching, and I will naturally find a suitable target."

[Where are you a devil from? It's pitiful for people to lose money, and you're going to make trouble.So where do you start? 】

"That's all." He pointed to the Mayan revivalist building on the cover of the map, "Chichen Itza Grand Hotel. There are small steel balls with the theme of "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea" that have just been purchased, and this is the one."

After finishing speaking, he raised his hand: "Pay the bill!"

In fact, the bill should have been paid when ordering, but there was a problem with the printer just now, and the receipt was not printed out.The clerk has already delivered the receipt, black tea, preserved egg and lean meat porridge, and hamburger, a total of 52 coins. .

"Ding~" The closed cash register made a pleasant sound.

"Welcome next time!"

Shang Luo walked out of the store, clutching a bunch of change notes in his hands.Putting the change into the wallet, he did the math.

There are 50 taels left on me.The target of 270 million taels is still 269 taels short.Not a big problem.

The Grand Hotel Chichen Itza is not far away.That's the goal for today.

The huge Mayan revivalism reveals its true face from among the buildings-the main body of gray marble is strong and powerful, and the exterior of the building is carved with huge reliefs on the theme of creation in the fifth era, decorated with bright colors with malachite and cinnabar pigments.There is a clock tower on the high tower in the middle of the hotel, but the time measured by the clock tower is not 24 hours, but the Mayan Tzolkin calendar.

There are 20 scales on it, respectively marked by water, dog, monkey and rabbit.Each mark represents a day in the Tzolkin calendar, and there is only one scale in a day, and a circle is completed in 20 days, which is a month in the Tzolkin calendar.

Casinos often use this kind of exaggerated decoration, it seems that these formations engraved with the order of heaven and earth can bring great luck to gamblers.

But the United Fruit sign above the hotel porch is still there.The exaggerated advertising board of United Fruit makes the mysterious design of the whole building a bit "breakable", but this hotel has been invested by United Fruit, and the Mayan signboard and United Fruit are placed side by side.
