Elder Bai went home with two apprentices, and as for what would happen next in the gambling house, the three of them didn't care.

As soon as they arrived at the door of the house, they saw Lin Yanran actually sitting on the wall of the courtyard and teasing a kitten, and the three of them consciously maintained their formation.

After entering the study, as soon as the door closed, Elder Bai went to the Taishi chair, immediately revealed his original form, and shouted, "Kneel!"

Xiao Ke's neck twisted, and he was a little unconvinced, on the way back, he had a belly of fire in his stomach, according to his meaning, Elder Bai had personally gone out, how could he not return empty-handed, at least he had to get a few tens of thousands of taels of silver and come back to spend flowers.

But Elder Bai dragged the two of them, just like the house was on fire, Xiao Ke couldn't persuade him, and he came back in a hurry, and he had a lot of opinions about this.

"Master—" Shook wanted to show that he was right.

"I'll get you on your knees!"

Yuntu had already knelt, but Xiao Ke didn't dare to continue, and knelt with him.

As soon as he knelt down, Elder Bai began to preach, and said: "Brainless things, labor and management have long said that force is not everything, brains are king, you have to suffer a few losses to remember for a long time." You can't set up a game, are you a pig?"

Xiao Ke pursed his lips and said unconvinced: "Don't blame me for this, it's the guy surnamed Zhou who is the obstacle..."

"You are still not convinced when you say that you are a pig, what did he do, he opened a gambling house! If others don't get in the way, why do you want to give you the money obediently?"

"......" Xiao Ke shut up, there was nothing to say, in fact, after the last sentence, he felt that he was wrong, expecting an adult who opened a gambling house to talk about five words and four beauties, and eat the bitter fruit, isn't that a dream.

However, Elder Bai was very interested, and his mouth continued like a cannon: "Are you convinced?

"Tell me about you, how simple a thing is, you can't do it, how wasteful you are. Since you want to set up a game, you still ask your senior brother for help, what's the matter, for fear that others won't find out that you have a senior brother, so you want to show off? Also, when you bet, what does it mean that you let your senior brother bet like a thief?"

"Don't ...... secretly"

Xiao Ke just wanted to argue, but was interrupted by Elder Bai and said, "What if you don't do it secretly." Afraid of being followed, afraid that others will share the money with you, your appetite is really big, that table of gold and silver tickets adds up to hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. Haven't you two grown enough to eat? Kneel, when will you know how to grow your face and get up again. ”

"Oh, by the way, I remind you again, your ability to engage in justice is really not as high as your attainments in playing hooligans, that rotten gambler has already sold his wife to Xiangxiu Building, and people have run away, alas, don't talk about it, if you keep talking, labor and management are going to scold you again, why did I accept such a thing from you. ”

"Old fellow, you will say cool things, since you know, why don't you stop it? Doesn't it mean, this street is all in your charge, you corpse vegetarian meal! You old bastard!" Xiao Ke roared, very angry, venting all his indignation against the bad gambler on his master.

In addition to anger, there is also regret, he is wondering if he has done something wrong, he thought that he warned and threatened, and should be able to scare others, but he didn't expect that the casual bird still didn't do a good job, and even caused things to deteriorate, so that the rotten gambler sold his daughter-in-law to a brothel.

Unexpectedly, Elder Bai did not return Xiao Kebang's foul language this time, but said calmly: "Little apprentice, I found that in addition to being brainless, you are also very naïve, there are more than 100 shops of all kinds on this street, tens of thousands of floating population every day, miscellaneous laborers, relatives of miscellaneous laborers, traders, relatives of merchants, and some miscellaneous people of three religions and nine streams, etc., just on the surface, labor and management are not busy, let alone in the secret." If you want to be a bird, you have to have your own skills, don't always expect others to help you, others are very tired, even if they are not tired, lying down is more comfortable than doing things. I'm very angry, right, I'll tell you a hot one for the teacher, and I'm sure I'll be angry with you. ”

Elder Bai was like a bad uncle who was kind and seductive, and he aroused Xiao Ke's interest a little bit, and said: "In this street I manage, almost all the larger shops are related to the elders and deacons above the sect, and there are a lot of gray businesses that are dominated by those people. Take the gambling house you set up today, it is the asset of a great elder in the outer gate, and the one surnamed Zhou who helped him take care of things is his eldest nephew, who has no cultivation, but he has the ability to do a thousand things, and he has earned at least tens of millions of taels of silver for the past 20 years. Isn't it even more angry when I hear this, and I feel that I shouldn't miss it anymore?"

Xiao Ke looked at Elder Bai's cheap appearance, his teeth itched with anger, but he couldn't refute it, because everything else was right, and every sentence pierced into his heart.

Xiao Ke is not a good person, he does things, only with the ruler in his heart, some things, he thinks he should do, then he has to do them, some things, should not be done, then resolutely not do.

What should be done, for example, men should respect women, for example, there is a way to steal, and for example, if you are willing to gamble, you must accept defeat.

What should not be done is sacrificing one's life for righteousness, treachery, bullying teachers and destroying ancestors, bullying the elderly, weak, women and children, etc.

The two things that should be done today were not done, first he encountered a man who did not respect women, he went to take care of it, he didn't manage it well, and then he met Zhou Zhuang's willingness to gamble and not admit defeat, the chicken was not stolen, and he also caused a commotion, which made him very depressed and depressed to the bottom.

Elder Bai was happy to see Xiao Ke's mood fall to the bottom, added a fire, and then said: "Kneel, little bastard, think about it, how to maintain your Dao heart, think about it and then do things, don't move without brains, labor and management wiping your ass behind your ass is not only embarrassing, it's not beneficial, it's not happy!"

After that, he dropped the two pieces of black cloth and went out to teach Lin Yanran's little girl to draw talismans, and stayed, and the two brothers looked at each other.

The first to break the embarrassment and speak was Yun Tu, he felt very guilty in his heart, first in the gambling house, he felt that he didn't help Xiao Ke, and then when he was lectured by Elder Bai, although he also knelt down, but from beginning to end, Elder Bai was counting Xiao Ke, and he didn't put a word on him, which made him very embarrassed.

Looking at the black cloth, Yun Tu said, "Senior brother, how do I feel that there is something in Master's words." ”

Xiao Ke wiped his nose and emphasized: "It's not that I feel it, but I must be, an old fox, this is trying to provoke me." ”

Yun Tu was puzzled, Xiao Ke's thinking was a little unable to keep up, and he asked again: "Senior brother, what does Master mean by giving us two black cloths, fig leaf?"

Xiao Ke's face was full of black lines, and he said: "Senior brother, don't be foolish, I have already figured out what the old fox means, but I still need some time to prepare, so don't follow me to waste time, go out and teach Lin Yanran to draw talismans." ”

For the first time, Yun Tu showed a panicked expression other than seriousness and doubt, and said, "Senior brother, I still think it's more interesting to kneel with you." ”

"Uh, that's okay, is there a Gathering Spirit Pill, come to two, I'll cultivate. ”

Xiao Ke found that Yuntu was afraid of Lin Yanran, so he didn't have to let Yuntu go, but asked him for the Gathering Spirit Pill, and Tinio, who had a poor sense of qi, wanted him to meditate and cultivate more than directly force him to death, and besides, taking medicine would be addictive, and he would not want to cultivate without taking medicine.

Yuntu gave Xiao Ke four very angrily, and wanted to tell him that it was not good to take too much medicine, so Xiao Ke threw three Gathering Spirit Pills into his mouth at a time in front of him, and then meditated cross-legged.

Yun Tu's eyes were about to burst out, if it weren't for Xiao Ke who had already started his exercises, he would really force Xiao Ke to spit out.

Although the Gathering Spirit Pill is a common ordinary pill, the spiritual power contained in it is still very sufficient for Qi refining cultivators, and ordinary people only dare to eat one at a time in order to protect their muscles and veins.

The most powerful madman Yun Tu had ever seen, that is, his senior brother, had only eaten two at a time, and after eating, the whole person was like a scalded crab, and he still relied on Elder Bai's luck in the outside world to pick up a life, Yun Tu was only eight years old at that time, and he was so frightened by this that he didn't dare to sleep for several nights.

Now, Xiao Ke ate three at a time, but the record was broken, Yun Tu was so panicked that he was about to get up and go to Elder Bai to help, but he found that Xiao Ke not only had no, but also entered a very serious refining stage, except for the occasional twitch at the corner of his mouth, there were no other adverse reactions, which couldn't help but make Yun Tu surprised again.

"Could it be that the little junior brother's muscles and veins are different from ordinary people, yes, it is absolutely the case, the tendons and veins that can heal automatically must also be able to consume the impact of the three spirit pills that release the medicinal power together, I am still meditating on the side to protect the Dharma, if the little junior brother has something wrong, I can inform the master at any time." ”

After figuring out the reason, Yuntu's restless heart also settled down, and he meditated and cultivated beside Xiao Ke.

The two of them, who were devoting themselves to cultivation, didn't notice that there was an old fox smiling proudly outside the window, smiling and smiling, with a face, like an old chrysanthemum blooming.

......

In the gambling house, not long after Elder Bai left, when Zhou Zhuangjia was cleaning up the mess with a depressed face, a middle-aged man in white walked in, about forty or fifty years old, very well maintained, with a smile on his face, giving people a feeling of red light.

The man left after chatting enthusiastically with Zhou Zhuang's family, and before leaving, he also handed Zhou Zhuangjia a yellow cloth baggage.

The things in the baggage were very simple, three red pills the size of thumbtips and a letter, Zhou Zhuangjia gave the pills to Zhou Li, Zhou Li was very grateful, and kept fighting.

Then, he opened the yellow envelope, took out the letter paper inside, and after reading it, he couldn't calm down his joy, and stood at the door of the gambling house without caring about the image and pinched the letter and laughed wildly.
