"You didn't lie to me?" Li Kui jumped up from the ground all of a sudden, and said excitedly.

"What am I lying to you for, I didn't lend you money just now because I was afraid that you would lose the silver, just your head plus luck, how much money you have is not enough to lose, I will accompany you to a trip and help you get some silver flowers, how about it, brother, I am righteous enough." Zhou Tian saw that Li Kui's face was full of joy, and he couldn't help laughing.

"Haha, you're my own brother." Hearing what Zhou Tian said, Li Kui immediately rushed to Zhou Tian with his hands and danced, and wanted to give Zhou Tian a warm hug, but he was afraid that he would be thrown out again, so Li Kui ran to Zhou Tian and quickly braked to stop.

"If you have money, you're your own brother, but someone wanted to beat me just now." Zhou Tian put his hands behind his back and said with a smile.

"Aren't I in a hurry?" Li Kui's surname is Zizhi, and when he saw Zhou Tian say this, he knelt down with a puff, "I'll make amends to my brother, hehe." ”

"Get up, get up." Seeing that Li Kui looked like a child, Zhou Tian hurriedly pulled him up and said, "Which is the biggest gambling house in this city, let's go there and have a look." ”

"The largest gambling house in Jiangzhou City is Wanle Building, which seems to have been opened by the emperor's father-in-law, but I haven't been to Tie Niu, and I heard that if you want to go inside, you have to gamble at least one hundred taels." Li Kui said.

"One hundred taels...... Zhou Tian thought for a moment and said, "Then go to the gambling house you usually go to first, there shouldn't be any gambling books required." ”

"They dare! Let's go, I'll accompany my brother to kill the Quartet. Li Kui answered, and walked in the direction of the city with Zhou Tian.

With the development of the commodity economy, the various entertainment industries of the Northern Song Dynasty were also unprecedentedly prosperous, and the Golden Caves such as the Jiyuan Casino came into being, and these two kinds of entertainment venues were opened by local officials or relatives of the emperor, and the scale was huge. The other is a private opening, small scale and very informal, three religions and nine streams of generations, when Zhou Tian was in Yanggu County when he was the head of the game, he controlled such a gambling house, but because Yanggu County is only a small county, so Zhou Tian did not seek much benefit from this gambling house at that time.

"Brother, it's here." Li Kui pointed to a small storefront and said. Li Kui, who had been taught a lesson, was very respectful to Zhou Tian, and he was still counting on Zhou Tian to turn back yesterday's book for him, so this Li Kui was on the way, and his brother was long and his brother was short, but he didn't stop shouting.

This gambling house is the most ordinary small gambling house in the market, although the room is not big, but there are a lot of people, chaotic, and a smell of stinky feet.

There are a total of three tables in the whole gambling house, and each table is full of people, and the gambling thing is the most ordinary sieve, thrown in the bowl, and the big and small bets are made on the destiny of each other.

"That's it." Zhou Tian didn't like the smell of stinky feet in the gambling house, and after picking a table, he made a bet of ten taels of silver at will.

Zhou Tian has that falling stone technique, so the size of this sieve Zhou Tian can naturally control it at will, and in two or three games, Zhou Tian won more than 100 taels of silver. Zhou Tianzhi was not here, so Zhou Tian, who won a hundred taels of silver, took Li Kui and left this gambling house full of the smell of stinky feet.

"Hehe, brother, your luck is really good, much stronger than me." Li Kui hugged the silver hehe Zhile, this time he has recovered all the silver he lost in the past, and there is a surplus, can you not be happy "Brother, let's go, let's go drink, I have a treat." ”

"Tie Niu, when is this time, we just finished eating, you won't be hungry now." It took less than half an hour for Zhou Tian to win the hundred taels of silver, and Zhou Tian, who had just finished eating and hadn't digested it, was not very hungry.

"Hehe, I'm not hungry, but brother, you helped me win so much silver, I have to repay it no matter what." Li Kui scratched his head and smiled.

"There's no need to repay it, you take me to that Wanle Fang, I didn't have fun just now, how about we go and bet on two more, and the silver will be divided into fifty-five if you win." The gambling house that I was looking forward to on Sunday was not the small gambling house full of smelly feet that I had just seen, so this Wanle Fang was still going to meet it on Sunday.

"Let's go back and gamble, what kind of Wanle Fang, it's quite far away from there." Li Kui muttered puzzled.

"This place is too small, it's not interesting to play, there should be a big bet in that Wanle Fang, win twice, maybe brother, I can marry you a daughter-in-law." The most important thing is that the smell of stinky feet almost made me vomit three times.

As soon as he heard about marrying his daughter-in-law, Li Kui grinned, "Okay, I listen to my brother, I'll take my brother there." ”

After going around more than a dozen small alleys, Zhou Tian and Li Kui came to the door of Wanle Fang.

The location of this Wanle Fang is the most prosperous area in the whole Jiangzhou City, there are many casinos, and the largest Jiyuan in Jiangzhou City is next to Wanle Fang, but it is not yet the time for the girls to welcome guests, so the Qinglou called Huichun Lou is far from being as prosperous as Wanle Fang.

Although this Wanle Fang is the largest gambling house in Jiangzhou City, because the gambling industry in the Northern Song Dynasty is just starting, Zhou Tian did not find any other gambling tools except for the sieve. But that's fine, Zhou Tian really doesn't know anything else except guessing the size.

Without the intrusion of the smell of stinky feet, Zhou Tian was finally able to make some money with peace of mind.

Because Wanle Fang's background is very deep, Zhou Tian is not willing to cause trouble, so Zhou Tian is very cautious when using the stone falling technique, and there has been no situation where he has guessed it several times in a row, but because the stakes are huge, Zhou Tian still earned a lot of money after this bet.

At the time of the Northern Song Dynasty, there were no chips, so Li Kui couldn't hold the silver won by Zhou Tian, so Zhou Tian exchanged all the silver for gold and continued to kill the Quartet.

However, Zhou Tian, who opened the golden finger, felt a little bored, the thrilling Zhou Tian that gamblers should have was not able to feel it, and the money won back Zhou Tian had no place to spend it, it was estimated that it would be cheap Li Kui, and the most important thing was that in two days, Song Jiang's kid would be restless in writing anti-poems, even if he had money, he couldn't take it away.

Zhou Tian, who was bored, was fiddling with the sieve in his hand, and with a flash of his eyes, he suddenly saw the brocade box in the hand of a rough man.

"Look at how much gold my ginseng can be exchanged for." The rough man opened the brocade box in his hand, and inside it was a white and fat thing like a radish.

The person opposite the rough man was a middle-aged fat man, dressed in gorgeous clothes, who seemed to be a businessman, he took the rough man's brocade box and looked at it and said, "Ten gold bars in the sky." ”

"Hmph, don't you take me for a fool?" The rough man slapped the table and said, "In our Jin Country, Korean ginseng costs at least twenty gold bars." ”

"The price of the Great Song Dynasty and the Jin Kingdom is different." The middle-aged fat man said unhurriedly.

"Even if there is a price difference between the two, the price of this ginseng should be more expensive in the Northern Song Dynasty." The rough man said.

Zhou Tian's bargaining between the two was naturally heard clearly, and just when the two were about to make a deal with thirteen gold bars, Zhou Tian suddenly inserted a lever and bought the Korean ginseng with twenty gold bars. Of course, then Zhou Tian and the rough man of the Jin Kingdom bet on twenty gold bars, and the gold bars naturally returned to Zhou Tian's pocket in the end.

Zhou Tian, who got the baby, did not stay in the casino any longer, but took Li Kui to buy some wine and meat to find Dai Zong.

Although this Dai Zong is a national civil servant, with the establishment of the Song Dynasty at that time, this Dai Zong's official position is not in the stream at all, and it is estimated that it is similar to the current aunt of the neighborhood committee. Therefore, the dream of buying a house is like a luxury for Dai Zong, who likes to make friends with people in the rivers and lakes, and he didn't have a loan at that time, even if he wanted to be a house slave, he couldn't do it, so Dai Zong, who was single, often lived in the Guanyin Nunnery near the City God Temple.

When Zhou Tian and Li Kui went with wine and meat, Dai Zong had just returned from work.

"Brother, look at what I brought you, the braised venison from the Jade Building, and a jar of flower carving wine." When Li Kui saw Dai Zong, he raised the things in his hand and said, "Brother, I am also generous now, look at my robe, is it beautiful." ”

"Tie Niu, this is what Brother Zhou Tian bought for you?" Seeing the things in Li Kui's hand and the robe on his body, the two Dai Zong turned their eyes and looked at Zhou Tian.

Zhou Tian just smiled and didn't say much.

"It's my own money." Li Kui smiled and said, "It's just that Brother Zhou Tian gave it, you don't know, today I and Brother Zhou Tian are killing all sides in Wanle Fang, I won forty or fifty gold bars alone, I have never seen so much money in my life, no, I won the money, so I bought something to honor you." ”

"I said, why are you so generous." Dai Zong let Zhou Tian and Li Kui into the nunnery and rushed to Zhou Tian, "Brother, don't blame, this place is simple, so my brother laughs." ”

"My brother is at ease." Zhou Tian looked at the Guanyin Nunnery, which was given by Dai Zong as the king of the mountain, although it is not big, but there is no shortage of anything, except for the lack of a kitchen, this living thing has everything.

"I'm alone, so I'm not so particular." Dai Zong set up a stool for Zhou Tian and Li Kui, and drank the wine and food on the table for a while.

"Let me tell you about the killing of the Quartet in Wanle Fang today, talk about the ...... of Wan Le Fang" As soon as the wine glass was put down, Li Kui's big voice shouted, now this Li Kui knows what it means to spend a lot of money, and his original gambling is all small things, this extremely excited Li Kui naturally wants to tell his own experience to that Dai Zong.

This Li Kui is not only loud, but also a chatter, and it will be endless, after half an hour, that Dai Zong really couldn't bear it, and had to say something to put the brakes on Li Kui.

However, Li Kui obviously hadn't finished talking yet, and he still didn't stop muttering after being interrupted by Dai Zong, until Zhou Tian stuffed a piece of palm-sized venison into his mouth, which was considered to be a stop.

Without Li Kui's muttering, this meal was much more enjoyable, and Zhou Tian also took advantage of Dai Zong's drunkenness to inquire about his Jiama, which could travel five hundred miles.

And Dai Zong obviously didn't take the secret of his armor horse seriously, and Zhou Tian didn't talk much, so he mumbled it all out himself.

"This magic technique was passed on by a Taoist priest when I was a teenager, and the Taoist priest passed me a mantra and the method of making the Jia horse, and I couldn't find anyone, and I also followed the Jia Ma and the mantra in the rivers and lakes to get a name of the Shenxing Taibao." Dai Zong smiled, and took out a piece of yellow cardboard with a lot of runes written on it from behind him, "This is the Jiama, although anyone can use it, but if you make and urge, there is no one else except the original Taoist priest and my Dai Zong." ”

Zhou Tian took the yellow hard paper in Dai Zong's hand and looked at it carefully, and sent it down a spirit talisman similar to his own, except that what was written on it was not words, but some messy symbols.

"The dean is not afraid that this thing will attract the prying eyes of others." Zhou Tian took a sip of wine and asked.

"Haha, my brother's worries are unnecessary." Dai Zong shook his head and said with a smile, "Now that the style of Confucianism is flourishing, whether it is the temple or the rivers and lakes, they are all respectful of the power of ghosts and gods, and it is extremely difficult to cultivate my exercises, so even if I teach others the method of making the armor horse and the mental method I learned at the beginning, I am afraid that others may not be willing to learn it." ”

Zhou Tian nodded and said tentatively, "Oh, this is the case, the junior brother is a little interested in this magic technique, I don't know if the dean can give me advice." ”

"Brother Zhou Tian wants to learn? Hehe, that's no problem. Dai Zong laughed, took out another thing from behind him, and handed it to Zhou Tiandao, "It's not that I Dai Zong's magic technique has not been taught to others, but even if they learn it, no one can really urge the armor horse, and as for the production method of this armor horse, it is even more impossible to learn." Well, this is the mental method I learned from the Taoist priest, Brother Zhou Tian can take a closer look at it first, it is not too difficult, I learned him in a few days. ”

"Thank you, Dean." Zhou Tian put down the wine glass, took the mental method and looked at it. Under this look, Zhou Tian was shocked and found that Dai Zong's mental method turned out to be an exercise for cultivating spiritual power, but that exercise was not a grade worse than Zhou Tian's "Book of Heaven", whether it was in terms of cultivation speed or the purity of the spiritual power generated, it could not be compared with "Book from Heaven".

"It seems that my "Book from Heaven" is a treasure." Zhou Tian shook his head and returned the mental method in his hand to Dai Zong.

"Brother Zhou Tian, if there is anything you don't understand, you can ask me, you don't have to give up so quickly." That Dai Zong thought that Zhou Tian gave up because he couldn't understand his mental method, so he couldn't help but smile and said. Since this Dai Zong got this mental method, he also wanted to pass on this mental method, but he found that no matter who he taught this mental method, he could not cultivate what he needed to urge the Jia Horse.

Zhou Tian didn't answer Dai Zong's words, but said, "Can the dean tell me how to make a horse, and I can see if I can make a horse." ”

"What did Brother Zhou Tian say?" Dai Zong didn't expect Zhou Tian to ask him for the method of making a horse, he was stunned, but he didn't hesitate, he took a piece of yellow cardboard without runes from his side and said, "The method of making this horse is nothing special, you only need to write a few runes on the paper, it doesn't matter what kind of paper it is, I use this kind of paper more easily, so I have been using it." ”

"Sure enough, it's similar to the spirit rune." Zhou Tian heard what Dai Zong said about the production of the armor horse, and his heart suddenly became enlightened, the legendary armor horse that can travel 500 miles, it turned out to be the same thing, the key to everything is on the rune that is similar to the circle fork.

Zhou Tian took the yellow hard paper, and under the operation of his spiritual power, he drew the same rune compared to the armor horse that Dai Zong had already made before.

"It's so ...... spiritual power" Zhou Tian finished painting the Jia Horse, and he felt a burst of emptiness in the spiritual power in his body, and he had consumed eighty percent of his spiritual power at once.

"What are Brother Zhou Tian doing?" Dai Zong couldn't help but ask when he saw Zhou Tian holding his fingers and pulling at that mess.

"Make a horse ......," Zhou Tiandao.

"Huh...... Brother Zhou Tian is really joking. Dai Zong took out a brush and a box of cinnabar and said, "Don't say that Brother Zhou Tian didn't learn my mental method, even if he did, he had to use this wolf pen and cinnabar." ”

"Does the dean need these things to make this armor horse?" According to Zhou Tian's estimation, the mental method learned by Dai Zong is the same as the "Book of Heaven", which requires immortal fate to learn, so this Dai religion has been practiced by many people, but those people can't learn it because they don't have immortal fate. Zhou Tian also heard Zhang Jiao say that this person with a red and orange two-level immortal fate must use cinnabar when making spirit runes, and now it seems that this Dai Zong is a red or orange immortal fate.

"This is natural, otherwise it would not be possible to make a horse at all." Dai Zong nodded.

"Well, is it......" Zhou Tian smiled, tied the armor horse he had just made in his hand to his legs, and then urged it under the operation of spiritual power.

"...... so fast" Zhou Tian moved on his feet, but jumped out of Guanyin Nunnery on one leg. The method of urging this Jiama was the same as Zhou Tian expected, just inject spiritual power, but Zhou Tian ignored one question after another - how to turn this thing and how to stop.

Although I don't know how to stop, but Zhou Tian's reaction is not slow, after leaving the Guanyin Nunnery, there is just a big jujube tree, Zhou Tian jumped down and climbed the trunk, just let the horse on his right foot vacate, this is considered to stop.

"Dean, come and help, little brother, I can't stop!" Zhou Tian, who was hanging on the jujube tree, shouted to Dai Zong for help, and Dai Zong was holding meat in his mouth at the moment, and his eyes were a little looking at the place where Zhou Tian was sitting just now. I seemed to be frightened by what I had just seen.

"Where's Brother Zhou Tian?" Dai Zong was stunned with that, but he was stronger than Li Kui, Li Kui's kid was so drunk that he forgot where his nose was, and when he saw that Zhou Tian was gone, he asked.
