Chapter 50: Ground-based War Warm-up! Mahjong trial!
"It's okay, Lord Pen Fairy, all the ghosts on our side are treated equally. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info" Li Qian comforted the pen immortal.
"Even if you say so, little brother, Xiao Lao'er is still a little awkward in his heart." The pen fairy buried his head down, feeling that it was about to cry.
"It's really a bit unfair to say that it was the humans who summoned the immortals who delayed their work, but Yin Si didn't think about their mistakes but cut the position of the fairy lord, which is a bit unreasonable." Bai Xun said, "At least you should consider it as appropriate." ”
"That's how the Outer Messenger is, Yin Si doesn't care about their life or death." Tao Qian said, "Unless it is of use to them, those old guys who are managers will be more worried, otherwise even if they are justified, they will be inarably thrown to the bottom and become the soil that provides nutrients for the rotten rules." ”
"Oh, I am so dissatisfied with the upper echelons, I can't even tell that it is the 'stone upper class' who is loved by His Royal Highness the Hades." Bai Xun smiled like a fox.
"His Royal Highness Hades is not the initiator of all this, and he is forced to take over this mess." Tao Qian defended his master, "He wants to take care of many things, but under the constraints of Yin Si, he can't make too many moves, otherwise he will move his whole body." ”
"What kind of master there is, what kind of ruling institution there is, I have always thought so." Bai Xun said with a smile, "Since the beginning of his succession, he has been singing and dancing every day, and Yin Si has become what he is now, which has a lot to do with his inaction. ”
"The rule of inaction is to do nothing and teach without words." Tao Qian skillfully replied to Bai Xun's words with an ancient text, "All things are done without beginning, born without being, for the sake of not being ashamed, and succeeding without dwelling." ”
"Awesome......"
Except for Xiong Jing, who made a living as a fortune teller, Li Gan and Xiao Ke were all stunned.
Although he couldn't fully understand it, he was still deeply impressed by Tao's classical knowledge after he died.
"The so-called 'inaction' means that affairs are handled naturally, and education is not empty talk." Bai Xun's tent is the ancient interpretation of Tao Qian's words, "Let all things develop and grow according to their own laws without causing trouble, and let all things multiply without taking them for themselves." Grace all things without being reserved, and accomplishing things without pretending. ”
"I do nothing and the people are self-reliant, I am so quiet and the people are upright." Bai Xun said calmly, "Win without fighting, respond well without speaking, come from without calling, be good at planning, Skynet is magnificent, negligent but not lost." These sentences sound good, but they are too idealistic. ”
"W-Where did you see this......?" Li Qian felt that he couldn't interject at all.
"Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching." Xiong Jing explained the source in a timely manner.
"Oh......"
Li Gan obviously felt that he was only a shallow learner, and it turned out that he had studied for so many years purely for the purpose of being admitted to university, and he had not learned the true essence of culture, and he was not as good as Uncle Xiong, who had never been to school. Many people think that going to college is the end of their studies, but Li Qian doesn't think so anymore.
There's a lot more to learn, and you may not be able to learn it all in your lifetime. But Li Qian knew that Tao Qian and Bai Xun could have such a wealth of knowledge, not because they lived too long and felt bored, but because they had an inexhaustible desire to learn.
"Who doesn't have ideals in his heart?" Tao Qian said, "If it weren't for the objections to the ghost go system, I don't think Brother Bai would even be an investor, just caring about himself on the top of the mountain, right?" ”
"Games exist to connect the fate of many people, to teach people what they can't learn in books, and not to make people feel lonely." Bai Xun said, "If it is born solely for profit, then the value of the game itself will be lost, and it will become a pure commodity." ”
"I like to make people happy to spend their money and get the satisfaction of getting more than the list price of the product, rather than selling their lives and longevity to an unfair system while resenting and cursing like players in the Goblin game." Bai Xun said, "Compared to how much I will gain, I want to see the smiling faces of customers, and then make money on this basis, nothing can make me happier than this." ”
"That's why you don't invest in this game?" Tao Qian asked.
"Where is this still a game." Bai Xun said, "It's already a different world with a structure in reality. ”
"yes, it's still just the open beta period." Tao Qian said coldly, "When the seven major servers are completely built, this world will truly take shape." ”
"Seven servers?!" This is the first time Li Qian has heard of this.
"Well, Biluo City, where we are at this stage, is the first server." Tao Qian said, "I don't know all about the other six servers, but I only know that the second largest server is Senyue City, and it has also started public beta." ”
"Morizuki Castle?! Isn't that where I'm going to go for college?! Li Qian inexplicably felt that this was too coincidental.
"yes, that's all I know." Tao Qiandao.
"Alright, everybody." Bai Xun stood up from the Luohan couch with a smile, "I see that everyone has been tense their heartstrings tonight, and now that the fairy has been summoned and the curse has been solved, it is time for us to relax." Step into the Xuan, you go and prepare. The white-clothed shopkeeper commanded the black-haired tent.
"Relax?" Li Qian didn't know what he was going to do.
Tao Qian hurriedly stood up when he heard this.
"Well, we still have things to go back to, let's come back and bother Brother Bai another day."
Tao Qian anxiously excused himself, and turned around to leave after speaking.
"Eh, Brother Tao." Bai Xun grabbed his arm, "It's rare for you to come to me once, you can't just leave without a game, right?" ”
"I do have something urgent...... Tao Qian didn't even dare to reply.
"This Li Ganzhong's curse has been lifted, the foundation battle has also begun, and the task of becoming a boundary seeker in seven days has been completed, what else is there to urge?" Bai Xun squinted his eyes and said.
“…… Tossing until midnight, it's time for them to rest. Tao Qian also knew that he had no reason, but he still insisted on leaving.
As he spoke, Ta Xuan had already lifted a square table and spread a checkered tablecloth on the square table.
"This seems to be ......?" Li Qian had already guessed three points.
As soon as Bai Xun waved his hand, a bunch of small pieces with words appeared on the tablecloth.
"Alas...... Sure enough, the trouble came. Tao Qian covered his forehead with a headache.
"Huh?" Li Qian looked at Tao Qian. He did hear Tao Qian say that the boss of the pawn shop was more troublesome or something, did it mean playing mahjong?
"Me, Brother Tao, Li Gan, and the Mr. Xiong wearing sunglasses, the four of us just got together at the table." Bai Xun said happily.
"Why don't you play?" Tao Qian asked with a frown.
"He's my confidant, and the cards will fit my mind." Bai Xun smiled, "So I'll call him out this time, so that after I win, you will say that I joined forces with Taxuan to fool you." Besides, Xiao Ke's sister can't play cards at a glance, and I called Taxuan out to accompany her in the past. ”
What the?! Li Gan couldn't sit still when he heard this. How could a good girl ask the black cat demon to accompany him, in case he accompanied his feelings, wouldn't his efforts over the years be in vain. No, he definitely couldn't let that Taxuan get even half a step closer to Xiao Ke.
"Well, can I not participate in this event?" Li Qian asked tentatively.
"Why?" Bai Xun asked.
"Because I don't know how to play mahjong." Li Qian smiled embarrassedly.
He was telling the truth. In the past, he and the second uncle went to the mahjong hall a few times, and he was coaxed to the mahjong table a few times, but until now he didn't know what the three yuan and four joys were, and he knew that he would eat and listen to Hu. Hu is still the simplest of the kind, with four sets of three cards or three of the same cards in order, plus a pair of cards, for a total of fourteen cards that touch or draw a Hu. He knew that with his own ability, he would definitely not be able to play the calculating Bai Xun, so it was better to leave the table as soon as possible. can also watch the black cat demon step on Xuan, and don't ask him to seduce Xiao Ke.
"Today's young people, they don't even know such a classic quintessence, it seems that they play too many computer games." Bai Xun smiled while thinking about a rooster card, "But with your smart mind, if someone teaches it seriously, you should learn it as soon as you go, right?" ”
"White shopkeeper, you have exalted me." Li Qian said, "I went to the mahjong parlor with my second uncle several times and didn't learn it, and I guess I won't be able to do it for a while here." ”
"Really? I really want to try it. Bai Xun joked, "Come, Taxuan, you go and teach Li Gan how to play cards." ”
"Yes, master."
The black-haired young man said yes and came to Li Gan.
"Excuse me, guest, are you completely incapable of doing so?" Emerald eyes stared at him.
"Hmm." Li Qian nodded.
"Don't you even know what cards are in mahjong?" Ta Xuan asked again.
"Yes." Li Qian replied as if white.
No, in front of a group of mahjong veterans, he is a little white who can only touch the right pair in a straight way.
Don't look at Uncle Xiong's stunned face, but he is very good at playing mahjong. Li Qian saw that he had already started to code cards at this time, and he seemed to be very skilled in terms of technique.
"A complete deck of mahjong tiles consists of 152 tiles, including four suits: honor tiles, flower tiles, ordinal tiles and wild tiles." Ta Xuan began to explain the basic knowledge of mahjong tiles to him, "We play northern mahjong in our store, which is 16 less than the mahjong I just said. Among them, there are 36 strip cards, tube cards and 10,000 cards, and 4 whites in the southeast, northwest and northwest, a total of 28 cards. Counting the 8 cards of Meilan, Zhuju and Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter, a total of 136 cards. ”
"The first step before playing cards is to shuffle the cards. Shuffling is to turn all the cards back, face down with both hands to rub the cards, so that the cards move in no order. The second step is the code card. After the cards are shuffled evenly, each person stacks 36 cards, and the two cards are stacked together for a trick, each for 18 stacks in front of the players to form a card wall. The third step is to open the cards. That is, the dealer rolls the dice, and the sum of the points of the three dice is the base of the deal. At this time, the dealer is the first, and the points are counted in counterclockwise order, and the position where the number of points is the wall of the cards. ”
"I know, but I can't play." Li Qian was about to leave the table as he spoke.
"Guest, you have to play."
Ta Xuan put his fingernail-tipped left hand on Li Gan's shoulder, and pressed him back to his seat quietly. Li Qian knew that he couldn't face Ta Xuan directly, otherwise he would be at a disadvantage even if he had Tao Qian by his side, so he obediently listened to his words and didn't leave.
"This is a trial game opened by the master for you and Mr. Xiong." Ta Xuan said, "Only if you pass this game can you be qualified to participate in the foundation battle." ”
