Chapter 8 Play with performance art

Xintianyou stood up, lifted the hem of his robe, put his left foot on the stool, slapped his chest with his right palm, and cried out:

"There are gods in the head. If you say it and spill it, can you take it back? Lao Tzu ran a horse on his arm, supported a boat in his belly, stood up to the sky, and said one or the other, is it a turtle with a shrunken head? Bothering the villagers and elders to testify, a certain family is willing to pay ten taels of silver, and the birdman's one or two pieces of silver. Win or lose by fate, never regret it. ”

Recently, he has played a lot with violent aesthetics, and he feels that playing performance art is also very comfortable, and he takes it as leisure. This is easier than pretending to be a fairy on Luofu Island, and he was almost killed by Chong Xiaozi with a punch that time.

Rumble......

The scene exploded.

Guan Pu was originally a gambling object, but later evolved into gambling money.

In this era, there was not much entertainment, and gambling was a popular activity for both the elegant and the vulgar. Not only the low-level laborers are enthusiastic, but even the literati are also happy.

There are often stories about servants and shopkeepers who fight and finally win not only the shop, but also the proprietress in the end.

The eyebrows of those who say it are dancing, and the people who listen are leisurely fascinated. After the tea and dinner, it was a relish and widely spread.

The young Taoist priest was full of "Lao Tzu, a certain family", with a rough demeanor, and was obviously a Xibei goods. Gambling is not the intention of the drunkard, but purely for the beauties who sell wontons.

But gambling with someone for ten taels of silver is unheard of. It's not about money, it's about taking a breath, and it depends on whether the other party dares to accept it.

A few young men began to make noise again.

When they saw that the Taoist was arrogant, they scolded the robed guest who was called the master on weekdays to the point of blood, and they were happy to have fun.

"Tut-tut, one or two against ten taels, and those with birds in the crotch will be on."

"How do you know if there are birds? Maybe the birds were so frightened that they flew away? ”

"It's so cheap, fools know how to earn!"

……

Xintianyou saw the crowd pouring in, and hurriedly said:

"Old and young masters, borrow a light, don't crush other people's shops. Let's go outside...... Let the annoyance go. ”

He immediately shoved the silver ingot into his mouth and raised an empty table next to him with both hands.

Li Su knew that he was standing up for himself, and tears rolled in his eyes. Seeing that the situation had taken a turn for the worse, he was inexplicable, so he hurriedly pulled Xintianyou's sleeve and asked urgently:

"You, what are you doing? I want to take ten taels of silver and one tael to gamble ......."

Xintianyou had the silver in his mouth and it was inconvenient to speak, so he turned around and squeezed his eyes at her, full of smiles.

The woman's flustered heart immediately calmed down, then she paused and shouted at her back:

"Be careful."

Xintianyou held the table high and put it down in the middle of the street, and those who had good deeds immediately dragged a few benches. Liu Quan was surrounded by a crowd and sat down opposite, and asked provocatively:

"How to bet?"

Right now, he doesn't care about anything, only silver.

Xintianyou slapped the white flower and silver ingot to the center of the table, glared and asked:

"You birdman, you don't even have a tael of silver, what are you betting with Lao Tzu?"

Watching the lively show, the gong had just sounded, how could they be willing to stop the drums, and they all clamored and urged.

In the solemn attention, Liu Quan took out a small silver coin from his cuff and slowly put it on the table.

The Daoist's face changed, and he involuntarily stretched out his hand, as if he wanted to get back his silver ingot, but he forcibly held back halfway.

Liu Quan took a look at the details, and became more and more convinced that the other party was a little chick in the field. With a great determination in his heart, he raised his chin arrogantly and said:

"The silver is here, you can do it. If you have a word, follow the rules. First, a priori silver. Second, the so-called gambling is not a loss. As long as the capital is there, you can't stop it. ”

In addition to purchasing today, he also had an errand to settle the money for vegetables, vegetables and meat that the government owed last month, so he had eighteen taels of silver with him. With one or two against ten taels, there is no reason to lose. I'm afraid that after the other party wins the first game, he suddenly wakes up and stops playing.

The young man's face stiffened, and he did not speak for a long time.

Liu Quan became more and more proud, for fear that the other party would be a scoundrel and shirk it, so he pursed his lips and muttered to himself.

"Hmph, I don't know who the hollow boss is. Slap a swollen face and become fat, eat white food, and make a silver-like pewter head...... Say what to run on the arm of the horse and support the boat in the belly, stand up to the sky, and say the same......"

The crowd fell silent.

Someone kindly reminded:

"Brother, forget it, don't fight for a while. Ten taels against one tael, there is no such reason in the world. ”

The following are helping.

"If you have the ability, you can fight to win or lose, ten taels against ten taels ......"

"Phew, use one tael of silver to deceive other people's ten taels and humiliate the ancestors!"

The young man's face turned red and white, and finally he bit his cheek fiercely, clenched his fists, and said:

"Thank you for your kindness...... But a manly man, once he says it, the horse is difficult to chase. Ten taels of silver, how big is it? Humpty Dumpty, what you say is what you say, winning or losing is predestined. Lao Tzu sacrificed his life to accompany the villain today and fought with you to the end. ”

After finishing speaking, he pushed the silver ingot in front of Liu Quan, but he didn't look at the small silver ingot, nor did he inspect it.

Liu Quancai didn't care what his face was, grabbed the big silver ingot and carefully weighed it, bit it with his teeth, and then pushed it back to the center of the table.

Xintian Tour:

"Which one has a copper plate, please borrow it."

Gold and silver are rare, but copper plates are abundant, and someone on the side immediately handed one to the heavens.

Xintianyou looked at both sides of the copper plate, held it up and signaled, and said:

"There is no equipment to close the flutter at the moment, so let's use this copper plate to decide whether we win or lose. ...... like this"

He tossed the silver ingot back in front of him, pinched the sides of the copper plate with his left and right hands, and stood up, placing it in the center of the table.

The copper coin immediately rotated like a wind wheel, like a yellow ball of light. Even if you break your eyes, it's impossible to see clearly.

Slap, Xin Tianyou covered the copper coin with one palm, and continued:

"It's fairest to guess right and back like this. I turn him to guess, he turns me to guess, and a game is won or lost. The copper coin has a word on the front and a moire on the back. Just say whether it's a word or a pattern upward. ”

After finishing speaking, he retracted his hand and looked at Liu Quandao:

"What do you think?"

Liu Quan couldn't wait for this, nodded, grabbed the copper coin, and said:

"You guess first."

If you want the other party to guess first, you just want to take advantage of a little psychological advantage.

Young Taoist priests only have one chance, and they are bound to be nervous, and the more nervous they are, the more panicked they become. Guess the wrong cost, chicken flying eggs, guess right, only one or two, to no avail. And he hung behind slowly, guessing once and completely liquidating.

In gambling games, such as dice, canopy, liubo, go, etc., in addition to luck, there must be skill. A simple guess of the pros and cons is purely by luck, and whoever wins and who loses is half to half.

Eighteen taels of silver can afford to lose eighteen times, and the opponent only needs to lose once and it will be over, and the victory will be assured.

Liu Quan thought so, which made a lot of sense, but he didn't know that there was a hidden trap hidden inside.
