Wang Gang nodded puzzled, I made up a lie, saying that after living here, because I was bored, when I was chatting with the proprietress at the bar, the proprietress was busy because there was no waiter in the store, and she was busy alone, so she told me about Wang Gang.

It was only after he heard my explanation that he was relieved. After Wang Gang drank two cups of tea, he suddenly took off the hat on his head and bowed his head to me.

I wondered in my heart and asked. Wang Gang seemed to have something unspeakable, and hesitated for a while and said, "Ling Sen, when you first met me two days ago, did I wear a hat?" ”

I thought about it for a moment and shook my head. Wang Gang sighed and said, "Ling Sen, why am I wearing a hat today?" This is also the reason why I came to you, because that day you said that you are a Taoist priest, and I encountered an evil sect, so I thought of coming to you to ask for clarification. ”

The dead dog looked at me in surprise and exclaimed. I didn't dare to show a smug look, pretend to be unfathomable, and let Wang Gang tell me the strange things he had encountered.

Wang Gang suddenly pulled out the long hair in front of his forehead, and he asked me, "Ling Sen, do you see the wrinkles on my forehead?" I'm only nineteen years old, and I didn't expect to have such deep wrinkles and a few strands of gray hair in the past two days. ”

I looked at it carefully, and I wondered. Why did such a handsome young man appear in less than three days, and only the elderly had physical characteristics?

There must be something strange in this, I hurriedly asked, did Wang Gang encounter anything strange a few days ago. Wang Gang sighed and said, "Ling Sen, my family has been poor since I was a child, and I am really poor. Suddenly I have an opportunity to make a fortune, how can I easily let it go? ”

He sighed again and said, "Alas, do you remember when I came here the day before yesterday and told the boss that I was resigning and not doing anything?" ”

I nodded, and Wang just said, "I thought I was going to have good luck, and now I was really going to make a fortune, so I came here to quit my job." ”

I told him not to rush and lit him a cigarette. After taking a few puffs, Wang Gang told me about the strange things he had encountered recently, and it was strange to hear me and the dead dog.

Although Wang Gang's salary is not high, he is very fond of gambling. A few days ago, he came to a chess and card room again, where he met an eccentric old man.

I didn't see how the old man was, anyway, it was the size of the dice, and whatever the old man bet on appeared. The old man won a lot of money, and the owner of the chess and card room was in a hurry, and he always suspected that the old man was out of the old man, but he couldn't come up with any evidence. In desperation, the owner of the chess and card room did not dare to repay the debt, for fear of losing his reputation, but he was afraid that the old man would continue to win, he really couldn't bear it, so he actually took out a few thousand yuan and gave it to the strange old man, begging his subordinates to be merciful and stop playing.

The eccentric old man took the money, readily agreed to the request of the owner of the chess and card room, took the money and walked away. The strange old man's hand made Wang Gang, who had been losing money in the chess and card room, admired him so much, and when he saw the strange old man go out, Wang Gang quietly followed behind him.

The strange old man actually left the city and walked into the mountains. Wang Gang, who was eager to learn art, didn't think much about it, and followed the strange old man closely.

When he came to a mountain pass, the strange old man suddenly disappeared. Wang Gang was anxious, and when he was visiting around, a big hand put on Wang Gang's shoulder, which startled Wang Gang.

To Wang Gang's surprise, it was the strange old man who patted him on the shoulder. The strange old man stared at Wang Gang's face gloomily, and then asked coldly, "Young man, why have you been following me?" ”

Wang Gang knelt down with a plop, saying that he had seen the old man's superb card skills in the chess and card room, and wanted to worship the old man as a teacher.

But the strange old man laughed, and he told Wang Gang that he didn't know any gambling methods at all, and he could win money, just by luck.

Wang Gang couldn't believe it, he begged: "Old man, the person with the best luck, it is impossible to win from beginning to end!" Old man, if you will take me as an apprentice, I will do whatever you tell me to do. ”

The strange old man stared at Wang Gang for a long time, and said slowly: "Wang Gang, do you really want to learn from me?" However, you have to remember that I can teach you, but you must not reveal anything to outsiders. ”

Wang Gang was overjoyed and agreed. The strange old man pointed to the mountain col and said: "Wang Gang, that is my home, if you want to be my apprentice, then you can follow me to the house." ”

Seeing that the strange old man was willing to accept him as an apprentice, Wang Gang was naturally overjoyed, and hurriedly agreed, and followed the strange old man to his home.

After Wang Gang went through a simple apprenticeship ceremony, the old man actually took out a piece of yellow paper, as well as a pair of scissors and a bowl. He glanced at Wang Gang and said slowly: "Wang Gang, the master really doesn't know any gambling skills, but the master has a unique skill and can invite the God of Wealth." If this God of Wealth is possessed, it will be difficult for you to win money. ”

Wang Gang stared at the things on the table in surprise, but the strange old man didn't say much, but quickly cut them on the yellow paper with scissors. After a while, skimming off those extra confetti, five yellow little people appeared on the table.

The strange old man pouted and said, "Wang Gang, these five are the God of Wealth." Now you pierce the index finger of your right hand and drop a drop of blood on each of the five God of Wealth. ”

Although Wang Gang was puzzled, he really wanted to get rich, and he had seen the luck of the strange old man with his own eyes, and after a little hesitation, he immediately took a silver needle handed by the strange old man and stabbed it on his right index finger.

After a while, each of the five little paper figures had an extra red dot. The strange old man smiled and said, "Wang Gang, you did a good job. In this way, you now use a bowl to stuff these five villains inside, and then you immediately go back to the city and find a random chess and card room to try your luck. ”

Wang Gang said in surprise: "Master, it's that simple? The strange old man ignored him, glared fiercely, and actually closed his eyes.

Wang Gang didn't dare to offend the old man, so he immediately took his leave and got up, and came to the nearest county town. I really didn't expect that Wang Gang's gambling luck was so good that he had nothing to say that day, no matter how many chess and card rooms he changed and how many cards he played, he never lost.

That night, Wang Gang was so happy that he used the money he won to squander it frantically in the county. Early the next morning, he found a few more chess and card rooms. But on this day, his luck suddenly became very bad, and he actually lost all the money on his body.

Wang Gang immediately ran into the mountains again and found the strange old man. The strange old man told Wang Gang that the God of Wealth could only be possessed for one day, and it would be useless overnight.

According to the request of the strange old man, Wang Gang cut five villains by himself this time, dripped a drop of finger blood on each of them, covered the villains in a bowl, and came to the county seat again.
