In the corridor directly above Lu Xiaoxian's gambling table, a square table and three wooden chairs had already been placed.

Not only are there good teas on the table, but there are also all kinds of snacks.

Obviously, this shopkeeper is specially prepared for Li Zhiying and Li Nunu.

Shopkeeper Hu pointed to the chair and said to Li Zhiying and Li Nunu: "The two county lords, please sit down, let's watch a good show here!" ”

Compared with the brightly lit hall, the corridor on the second floor is much darker, although it is far less lively than the hall, but it is condescending, and all the scenes in the gambling table are in full view, and it cannot but be said to be a good place to watch the game.

Li Zhiying was extremely satisfied with the arrangement of the shopkeeper Hu, she sat down and looked into the gambling table.

Unlike yesterday's casualness, the blue-shirted boy is obviously much more cautious today, and the time to consider the cards is much longer than yesterday.

Li Zhiying's eyes looked at the gambling table, but his mouth was not idle, and asked the shopkeeper Hu: "Shopkeeper Hu, what you said just now was too exalting to him." His gambling skills are good, but he may not be able to win those three! If he loses, won't he slap himself in the mouth? ”

Of course, the shopkeeper Hu knew who the "he" in Li Zhiying's mouth was referring to, and he was about to answer, but he heard Li Nunu say: "I think the shopkeeper Hu said this intentionally, I'm afraid there is a deep meaning in this, right?" ”

Shopkeeper Hu glanced at Li Nunu with appreciation: "What the county lord of Jincheng said is right, it was Lu Gongzi who taught me to say this, and there is indeed a deep meaning in this!" ”

"Is it really meaningful?" Li Zhiying turned his head, stared at the shopkeeper Hu and asked, "What is the deep meaning!" ”

"This is the second six-pronged move of Lu Gongzi to deal with this gang!" Shopkeeper Hu said with a smile.

"Six-pronged?" Li Zhiying was taken aback, she had heard of a two-pronged approach and a three-pronged approach, and this was the first time she had heard of a six-pronged approach.

Li Nunu also heard it for the first time, and couldn't help but ask: "Shopkeeper Hu, what is a six-pronged approach!" ”

At this moment, Shopkeeper Hu was in a good mood, did not sell Guan Zi anymore, and said slowly: "Yesterday, the two county lords also heard Lu Gongzi's speculation. Lu Gongzi took the deck of pai gow used in yesterday's gambling and looked at it, and as expected, the back of the card was coated with phosphorus powder. So, Lu Gongzi prescribed the right medicine and specially designed this six-pronged approach for them! ”

"Tell me more details!" Li Chiying became interested.

Shopkeeper Hu was about to speak, but he heard the gamblers downstairs cheering. Li Zhiying and Li Nunu looked down, it turned out that the first game was over, and Lu Xiaoxian, as the banker, killed three players.

"Don't say it, he really has a hand, and he won so easily!" Li Zhiying said with a radiant look.

Li Nunu didn't think so, she retorted: "Yingying, don't be too happy, those people can't cheat in the first game, and he can easily win them with his gambling skills." But then it was different, they secretly smeared phosphors on the back of the card, and it was not so easy to win! ”

"That's right, the real battle starts in the second game!" Shopkeeper Hu agreed.

Li Zhiying looked at the gambling table, and sure enough, the three of them looked calm, and they didn't seem to care about winning or losing the first game at all.

Lu Xiaoxian was also quiet, stacking cards, rolling dice, and then dealing cards.

Li Zhiying turned around again and asked, "Shopkeeper Hu, what did you say just now have a deep meaning, what is the deep meaning?" ”

"Lu Gongzi asked the little one to say that, the purpose is very simple, it is to disturb their minds. You know, gambling pai gow is all on a 'stable' word, the mentality should be peaceful, if the mind is confused, the probability of error is great, and the master duel can not tolerate the slightest negligence! ”

It turned out that what the shopkeeper Hu said just now was to disturb the other party's mind and make their psychology change.

Li Zhiying and Li Nunu nodded in unison, the blue-shirted boy was indeed a little flustered just now, it seems that this trick has worked.

Li Nunu seemed to think of something, and asked again: "Shopkeeper Hu, you said that this is the second move of the six-pronged approach, so what is the first move?" ”

"The first move has actually been laid out a long time ago, but no one pays attention to it!" Shopkeeper Hu paused, and suddenly asked, "Two county lords, look at this hall, how is it different from yesterday?" ”

Li Zhiying looked at it carefully for a while, but she didn't see any difference from yesterday, so she could only shake her head blankly: "It's no different!" ”

Although Li Nunu saw the clue, he was not sure, and asked tentatively: "Shopkeeper Hu, this hall seems to be much brighter than yesterday!" ”

"Lord Jincheng has good eyesight!" Shopkeeper Hu stretched out his thumb, "Mr. Lu's first trick is to make this hall as bright as possible!" In the past, there were about 20 lamps in the hall, and today there are 70 large lanterns, which is naturally much brighter than usual! ”

"Why is that?" Li Zhiying asked curiously.

"Have the two county lords heard of the ghost fire?" Shopkeeper Hu asked suddenly.

On summer nights, blue-green flames often appear in the wilderness or near ancient cemeteries, looming and ethereal. There is a legend in the countryside that when a person dies, he becomes a ghost, and the ghost is afraid of the light, so he does not dare to come out during the day, and only appears at night. In graveyards or wilderness, sometimes at night there will be clusters of green or light blue flames, jumping and jumping.

Li Zhiying and Li Nunu nodded at the same time, they had heard of the ghost fire, but they had never seen it. With their identities as golden branches and jade leaves, it is impossible to see ghost fire. Zero Zero Book House

"Actually, ghost fires are caused by phosphorus. The bones of animals in the countryside and the human bones in the graves contain phosphorus, and after the death of humans and beasts are buried in the ground, the corpses decay, and the phosphorus is gradually infiltrated into the soil after being scorched by the scorching sun and washed by rain and dew, and the temperature is high in summer, which will produce a faint blue-green light, but the sunlight is very strong during the day, and the ghost fire cannot be seen. ”

The two suddenly realized that the shopkeeper Hu had lit so many lanterns in the hall, in order to make the light stronger, and it would naturally be much more difficult for the cheating people to look at the phosphorus powder on the back of Pai Gow.

I didn't expect Lu Xiaoxian to have a lot of ideas.

At this time, two more hands were played on the table, and all of them were lost by the banker.

Seeing that Lu Xiaoxian was nothing more than that, the blue-shirted boy returned to his previous chic.

The gamblers couldn't help but shake their heads, it seemed that the shopkeeper Hu was about to flash his tongue when he said a big thing, and the treasure official surnamed Lu was just an embroidered pillow, which was useless.

Lu Xiaoxian also patted his head in annoyance, and said to himself: "Why is this luck so stinky today? ”

He looked around and shouted at the little guy: "Send a towel, I have to wipe this stinky hand and change my luck!" ”

A small servant came over and delivered two steaming towels. Lu Xiaoxian took the towel, didn't care about the heat, and wiped his hands vigorously, as if he really wanted to change his luck.

After wiping his hands, Lu Xiaoxian skillfully stacked Pai Gow, played the dice and began to split.

The middle-aged scribe who had been staring at the back of Pai Gow suddenly opened his eyes wide, only to see those faintly indistinguishable luminescent marks, after Lu Xiaoxian finished the cards, one could not be seen clearly, and the phosphorus powder was erased!

At this moment, the middle-aged scribe was confused.

After Lu Xiaoxian finished dealing the cards, he casually matched his cards and looked at the three players with a smile.

The blue-shirted boy and the white-haired old man both looked at the middle-aged scribe, and with a small gesture from the middle-aged scribe, they could match cards. However, the middle-aged scribe did not make any action as if he had fallen into an evil spirit.

The blue-shirted boy knew that the situation was different, but he couldn't wait like this, so he had to stubbornly match the cards casually.

After the three players showed their cards, Lu Xiaoxian turned over his two sets of cards.

The gamblers exclaimed again: "The two big dealers, kill them all!" ”

"Hahaha!" Lu Xiaoxian laughed proudly, "I'll just say, wiping your hands can change your luck!" Hurry up, prepare a few more hot hand towels for me, I'm going to kill all sides! ”

Li Zhiying didn't blink her eyes from beginning to end, but she didn't understand how Lu Xiaoxian easily won this game.

Li Nunu said thoughtfully: "Shopkeeper Hu, isn't that towel famous?" ”

"That's right, Lu Gongzi's third trick is on this towel!" Shopkeeper Hu explained: "It is difficult to wipe off the phosphorus powder applied to the back of the card, but it is easy to wipe off when it is hot!" ”

The two understood, Lu Xiaoxian asked for a towel just now, saying that he wanted to wipe his hands and change his luck, but that was just a rhetoric, in fact, it was to wipe his hands with a hot towel and remove the phosphorus powder.

With the phosphorus powder removed, the other party has no means of cheating, and with Lu Xiaoxian's gambling skills, it is too easy to win them.

"Wait!" Li Zhiying still didn't understand one thing, she asked the shopkeeper Hu: "Didn't you say that the phosphorus powder is not visible to ordinary people at all?" How does he know which card has phosphorus powder on it, and he can accurately remove the phosphorus powder, but he can't always pick all the cards, right? ”

"This is the fourth move!" Shopkeeper Hu smiled slightly: "Lu Gongzi has this kind of eyesight, the other party can see the phosphorus powder, and he can see it, but he pretends not to see it and deliberately confuses them!" ”

Li Nunu couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "I can't help but say that his attainments in gambling skills are beyond the reach of us ordinary people in a lifetime!" ”

Li Nunu's words were deliberately said to Li Zhiying, which meant to persuade Li Zhiying not to touch Lu Xiaoxian's moldy head in gambling in the future.

Li Zhiying pretended not to hear and continued to look down.

Since the third handful, Lu Xiaoxian has to wipe his hands every time, and then continue to be a banker, killing three players in a row.

Those onlookers couldn't help but be amazed, and they couldn't imagine that wiping their hands with a hot towel could really wipe their hands well.

The middle-aged scribe looked at the cards in his hand and couldn't help but be a little depressed.

The dealer has the right to code cards and deal cards, and every time the middle-aged scribe has a card in his hand, he will be taken advantage of the opportunity to mark by Lu Xiaoxian to accurately mark off, so that the three of them must lose more and win less.

Could it be that Lu Xiaoxian can also see this phosphorus powder, but shouldn't this be?

Lu Xiaoxian divided the cards and pushed them in front of the three of them, then picked up his cards and looked at them, and soon formed two groups on the table.

The middle-aged scribe was depressed, he looked at Lu Xiaoxian, but suddenly found that the mark behind Lu Xiaoxian's card was still there. Didn't he neglect this time and didn't have time to wipe it off?
