Evil Dao Ghost Confucian Demon Monk

Chapter 6
It is said that gambling is a fight.

The origin of "fighting gambling" is that the ancient ancestors used games to compete in order to maintain a strong fighting physique in their spare time.Since it is more powerful than anyone else, the winner must be decided. At this time, there is always a lot of money to be added, some bet on a few glasses of fine wine, and some bet on a few fresh fish.Later, cockfighting, dogfighting, and cricketfighting also had to be followed by the word "gambling" to be interesting.

It's just that since the appearance of such gambling tools as dice and Pai Gow, gambling has little to do with fighting. These gambling tools have to be determined by luck and have nothing to do with strength. Gradually, fighting gambling is just called gambling.However, what can still be called "fighting gambling" in the gambling houses of the Kingdom of Shu is the famous "fighting of life and death".

It's life and death, but it's actually not that serious. Fighting and gambling are divided into civil and martial arts.

Wu Gambling often happens in gangs. If two people who have enmity happen to be in the same gang, and the enmity cannot be resolved, Wu Gambling must be used.When the dice are rolled, it depends on which one God favors.

The bigger the feud in Wu's bets, the harder the bets, and some of them can get an arm in a single bet.Those who gamble with a few fingers are ashamed to tell others.

However, for martial arts gambling, the government has explicitly banned it, and it only occasionally appears in underground gambling houses, which is rare for ordinary people.

Literary gambling will always happen every few years.Both parties involved in literary gambling are people who can repeatedly perform miracles on the gaming table.They are all gambling elites after the big waves washed the sand.

Some are generals who win more and lose less, and are often invincible in the gambling house.

There are some casino lords who lose so much that they almost lose their pants, but can turn around, sweep Liuhe, and have the last laugh.

These two types of people will not fight easily, and they are afraid of capsizing in the gutter.But there are also heroes respecting heroes in the gambling shop, but both types of people are good gamblers. They often hang out in the gambling shop, and they will inevitably look up and see each other. , the outcome cannot be decided.

The gamble conducted by Yipin Gambling House is naturally a literary gamble.

This kind of gambling game is no longer a battle of interests, it can even be said to be a battle of spirits between the kings of gambling.In the eyes of ordinary people, if you have a lot of gold and silver, you can eat well, drink well, and do nothing, do you have to take out all your belongings to gamble?

But for these casino kings, there is anything in this world that cannot be used for gambling.

The result of this gamble must be that only one person can win.

Gambling is a matter of taking high risks to earn high returns, and gambling is even more tragic. This is the consciousness that gambling masters have long had.

If you don't win, your family property will double, you will be rich and prosperous, and you will have endless enjoyment.If you don't lose, you can live on the streets and beg for a living, and you won't starve to death in a rich place like Shu. Maybe one day the time will turn around, and you may not be able to be a rich man again.A real gambler must have the courage to come back after all the money is gone.

This is the case today. It is said that the two families have made a real bet and put their entire family business on the line.

What kind of dramatic effect will happen when the general in battle meets the hero of the gambling house? Is the hero of the gambling house performing the miracle of turning salty fish again, or the general of Bai Zhan adding another immortal honor to his gambling career?
But there is no doubt that either of them won today, and they are well-deserved kings of the casino, at least today.

After Mr. Zhu and Mr. Gou went ashore together, they rushed to the casino impatiently.

There are already crowds of people outside Yipin Casino, a few lucky people are already present before the opening of the game, and it is not so easy for others to watch the game.

In front of the gambling house, there are two statues of strange beasts, with dragon head, horse body and lin feet, which are shaped like lions and named Pixiu.This kind of strange beast is born to attract wealth and treasure, and is often placed in front of the gambling house.

In front of the statue of Pixiu, a group of big-armed and well-rounded casino men stood around the casino one by one, screening the people who entered the casino.

Reputable people can go in directly, and there are many wealthy households who hand over their money, and the shopkeepers will be accommodating.

Mr. Gou and Mr. Zhu are both very prestigious people in Jinxiu City, and some of the guards knew their origins, so they immediately moved out of the way.The boy was also very lucky to follow the two nobles into the gambling house.

There is no need to inquire about the situation in the gambling house, the gamblers next to each other are whispering to each other, and some even bet on Baolai with this victory. Looking at the gap between the bets, he asked: "What is the current situation?"

A gambler turned his head and said excitedly: "Young Ugly is as powerful as a bamboo shoot today. The two of you have fought for several rounds, and Yue Ye hasn't gotten a single bargain so far. It seems that the overall situation will be settled." The complacent look on his face seemed to be proud of him.

The person next to him immediately snorted coldly: "It's not that you don't know Yue Ye's name, this is a great counterattack expert, as long as he still has chips in his hand, he can't count."

The person who spoke at the beginning said resentfully: "Anyway, it's the critical moment. I heard that Yue Ye's family fortune is about to be lost. Today is also strange. It seems that the limelight is on the side of Ugly Young Master. Yue Ye still wants to make a comeback. Hehe, I think Hang!" The gambler began to pray again: "Ugly young man, you must win, I bet on you." This person seems to have bet a lot, and he has become a little worried about gains and losses.

Mr. Gou was unhappy when he heard this, and asked with a black face: "What is ugly and ugly? Why does it sound so unpleasant? Where did he come from? Why haven't I heard of this person before?" title?"

Hearing this, the gambler said with a proud face: "You don't know that, it was his family who opened Shangguan Winery, which was very prosperous in the suburbs of Jinxiu City back then."

"Fantasy and fine wine, it's really the one that brews the flashy and fine wine." Mr. Gou's black face was full of excitement.

The gambler nodded like a chicken pecking rice: "This person is the current owner of Shangguan Winery, his surname is Shangguan, and his name is Yangzheng.

It is said that Mr. Shangguan was overjoyed when he came here, but Chou Shao was weak and sick when he was a child. His parents thought that he would be able to support him with a low name, so they named him Chou Chou.

Later, after Master Shangguan's lifespan was exhausted, the Shangguan Distillery was always managed by Mrs. Shangguan behind the scenes.

Mrs. Shangguan is also in poor health. While working hard to run the winery, she has brought up Shangguan Chouchou. When she entered school, she gave Chouchou a scientific name, Shangguan Yangzheng.It is taken from Mencius's saying 'I am good at cultivating my awe-inspiring spirit'. "

When the gambler said this, he shook his head, acting like a scholar, and chattered endlessly: "This awe-inspiring aura is righteousness. Cough, it's getting too far, where did I just say it?"

"Speaking of 'working hard to grow up'." Gou Scholar continued.

The gambler slapped his forehead and said: "Oh, yes. But I didn't expect that after a few years, Mrs. Shangguan also ran out of fuel and went west. Alas, since then Shangguan Winery has gradually failed. Ugly The name Ugly has been used since then and has not been changed. It is said that Master Shangguan has no face to use the word "Yangzheng". But what is interesting is that although this Shangguan Winery is not as prosperous as it was back then, it has been able to maintain it forever , I heard that Shangguan Chouchou spent all the money he won from the gambling shop on his own winery.

It's a pity that this person is not a material for serious business. Although he has won many battles in the gambling house, he has no talent in running the winery.Either there is a problem with the koji, or there is a problem with the grain for wine making.

Later, in desperation, Shangguan Chouchou had no choice but to hand over the winery to others so that the winery could survive. Mostly he wanted peace of mind, and his parents would not scold him a prodigal son in heaven. "

Mr. Gou is a wine lover, he immediately praised: "You are a man to keep the wine shop from going down!"

Several people also turned their attention to the gambling game.

The atmosphere of gambling is really different.

On weekdays, the noisy and noisy gambling hall is crowded with people, but today there is only one table for gambling.There are a few gambling tables next to them, the gambling equipment is scattered here and there, the gold and silver are not tidy, and there are a few pieces of silver that have not been swept away by the bamboo fence, but the owner doesn't care, put down the unfinished game, and one after another Go around to the center of the casino.

At this time, all the gamblers in the casino are focusing on the only game in the center of the casino.

At this time, a middle-aged man at the gambling table pushed all the gold and silver coins in front of him forward.

"Oh, what a boldness, it looks like Master Yue is going to put all his eggs in one basket." A gambler exclaimed in surprise, the atmosphere in the gambling house suddenly became tense, and everyone's eyes were fixed on the situation in the field.

In the middle of the game, the croupier with the dice cup in his hand moved very quickly, and raised his hands steadily upward.The dice cup was opened.

"Leopard! Haha, Lao Laitou, you're finished, hurry up and get your house title deed ready. I'll do my best, young master. I'll leave you a few pieces of underwear, so that you won't be caught when you leave the casino." I'm going to sell myself to Xianggongtang." On the left side of the gambling table, a tall and thin young man shouted excitedly with his eyes shining.The boy was only fifteen or sixteen years old, he had no beard on his lips, his body was shaking and shaking, and his tired appearance made people feel that he was doing nothing.What is puzzling is that, despite his cynical look, there is a heroic spirit between his brows.

A kitten lay lazily on the boy's shoulders. Following the owner's shout, the kitten yawned, shook and swayed, which was really interesting.

The gamblers who gambled with the young man next to him applauded loudly when they saw the young man win, while those who gambled with the big man were all cursing their mothers, and the gambling hall was in a commotion.

Scattered gold and silver were already piled up at the boy's feet, and various silver bills were also scattered here and there.As soon as the game was over, the croupier of the gambling house took out a bamboo stick and swept the agate, pearl, jasper, and emerald won by the boy to the boy's side.

Those gold, silver and jewels were shining brightly, blinding people's eyes, but no one in Jinxiu City had the guts to say anything bad about Yipin Gambling House.

The muscular casino thugs dressed in short skirts here are said to be brave soldiers from the battlefield.I heard that the backstage of Yipin Casino is a very powerful duke of Shu Kingdom.

No one dared to use their brains, and the Yipin Casino in Splendid City had never had any troubles.

In Splendid City, no matter you are a high-ranking official living in a temple, a wealthy businessman with a successful business, or a tycoon traveling from north to south, you can safely and boldly gamble here all night long.Even the little servants in the waiter and the old helpers at the dock can get a place in the outer hall of Yipin Gambling House, and have a good time gambling.

There have been many people who made a lot of money in the gambling house, and there have also been countless people who have gone bankrupt.Only Yipin Gambling House has been standing in Jinxiu City for many years.

"Shangguan Chouchou, if you have the guts to go crazy, I don't believe that you can still gamble!" The middle-aged man spoke with a strong Sichuan dialect.The folks in Shu do not have to talk about the official language every day like the officialdom. They usually use the local dialect when they speak.The middle-aged man's expression remained unchanged, he took a puff of cigarette calmly, and even took the time to pinch the thigh of a fat sister next to him, causing the fat face of the sister to tremble, and she yelled in a coquettish voice.

"I said, old Laitou, what else do you have to gamble, if you want to say, there is only Sister Yuanyue by your side, that is your heart and soul, my Shangguan family does not have the habit of stealing favors from others." The tall and thin boy hurriedly declared.

Among the gamblers watching, Mr. Gou put down the wine jar, stared at the tall and thin young man, and said in his heart: "So he is Shangguan ugly, and he is not ugly."

"Hey! Yuanyuan is my darling, and I can't bear to use her as a gamble." The big man's face remained unchanged, and he continued: "Wait a little longer, I've already asked the servant to get the things, and I'll be there in a while." can deliver."

Shangguan Chouchou said: "You have lost all the house title deeds, shops, gold and silver treasures, do you have anything worth betting on? If you are going to bring your crotch pants, I will not gamble. "

The big man said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about? Can I fall into the prestigious name of "Yuebulai"? Which one repents and which one is the son of a turtle. Just wait until it is. Those just now are all gold and silver. But it’s different if you wait for a while. The thing will arrive right away, if you feel dissatisfied, even if I lose, just don’t gamble. But I want to tell you, all my possessions combined are not worth as much as that thing.”

Yue Bulai saw that among the group of gamblers, there were still some people muttering to themselves, as if they didn't believe what he said.The big man immediately cursed and said, "You bastards, what are you talking about? I'm going to open your eyes later. Don't talk about things right now. Shut up."

Not long after, a group of servants trotted in with a wooden box on their shoulders, and one of them bowed and said, "Master Yue, here comes what you want. This box has been in the woodshed for a long time, and it is covered with a layer of dust. .”

Putting the box in front of Yue Bulai, it didn't make a dull sound, instead it felt empty inside.

The old man Yue took his time and took out a key to open a large ordinary lock. When he opened the box, he found that there were only a few layers of ordinary clothes in the box.Most of the people in the room understood that this was just an ordinary cover-up method, and thieves at home like to do it like this, and the good things must be suppressed below.

But Dang Yue dug out another quilt and tore it apart, revealing a black iron box inside.
