It is said that Shi Jin, the "nine-tattooed dragon" who traveled to the Northern Song Dynasty, and Xue Yong, the "sick big insect", did not know each other in Yan'an Mansion, and the more they talked after they met, the more speculative they became, and they talked happily for a few days. It's just that Xue Yongyun is home, and his heart is in the four seas, and Shi Jin has the heart to go to Shaohua Mountain to find old friends, so the two have to come to the restaurant to say goodbye.

Xue Yongdao: "Brother Xian's farewell, I don't know when I can see each other again, I am sad, I should drink this cup together!" ”

Shi Jin raised his glass and said, "Brother doesn't have to be sentimental. The younger brother is located in Shaohua Mountain, which is twenty or thirty miles away, although the mountain road is rugged, it is easy to find and recognize. If the elder brother misses it, he asks someone to give him a word, and the younger brother will come when he raises his legs, and he will not dare to slack off. It's just that my brother is all over the world, and he must always take care of himself. ”

Xue Yong also raised his glass and drank it with Shi Jin, and said according to the empty cup: "Our brothers have unique skills, but they are hidden in the city, hidden in the mountains, and buried talents for no reason. If he is proud, he will definitely make a career. ”

Shi Jin nodded and said, "What my brother said is true." Although I didn't find Master Wang Jin this time, I found the enlightenment mentor 'Tiger General' Li Zhong, I heard that he was going to Peach Blossom Mountain to find some 'little overlord' Zhou Tong, although I don't know each other, I must be a good man. Moreover, this time, I got acquainted with Lu Ti and Luda under the command of the old man, plus the three heroes of Shaohua Mountain-'Shen Ji Military Division' Zhu Wu, 'Jumping Stream Tiger' Chen Da and 'White Flower Snake' Yang Chun, and they can also get together a lot of people. Moreover, I heard Zhu Wu say that his cousin Zhu Gui was the king of the Shuibo Liangshan enclosure in Shandong, and he was also the leader of one party. If my brother intends to do something, we can work together to make a small climate. ”

Xue Yongdao: "Listening to the words of the virtuous brother, the brother is also full of joy. It's just that I'm used to being at home, and I want to travel around the rivers and lakes for the time being and see some terroir. Don't worry, my travels will also inquire about the heroes on the rivers and lakes at any time, and if there is a chance to form a group, I will definitely communicate with the virtuous brother. ”

As the saying goes, "there is no banquet in the world that will not be dispersed", the two drank a few more glasses, and then cherished each other and said goodbye.

Then Shi Jin returned to Shaohua Mountain to join Zhu Wu, Chen Da and Yang Chun, but Xue Yong still carried his family goods to sell medicine with sticks and traveled everywhere.

It is said that the old breed of Yan'an Mansion in Shaanxi Province is surnamed Tang in front of the public account, and there is only one son, called Tang Long; Because he had chickenpox when he was a child, he was covered in numbness, and he was nicknamed "Money Leopard". This iron zhizhai is a military position in the military camp to repair weapons and smelt iron and steel, but it is also valued by the upper and lower parts of the army. Since he was a child, Tang Long has been accustomed to seeing the sergeants dancing with guns and sticks, and the army arranging troops. He likes to make all kinds of strange weapons, from small iron slingshots, iron blades, and iron darts to countless people.

When he was eighteen years old, Tang Long made a pair of iron fist sleeves according to the size of his left hand, one and a half feet long, half a foot in diameter, and weighed thirty-six pounds. When put on the hand, the finger movement pulls the bracket, and it can control a giant fist the size of a watermelon at the front end. The iron fingers of the giant fist are like shovels, with blades and thorns, and when held with five fingers, it is a strong giant fist; When the five fingers are forked, it is like an iron fence with sharp edges, and if you grasp something in the palm of your hand, it is a walnut nut, and it can be grasped into powder. When Tang Long put it on and went out to walk, he was invincible, so people also called him "Iron Fist Money Leopard" Tang Long.

Unexpectedly, Tang Long has become an adult, and his son has inherited his father's business, and he has learned Tang Laozhizhai's iron-striking skills to eight or nine times out of ten, and he has a strong physique, full of muscles, and looks at it, so he is a good man.

There is only one point, this "money leopard" has no sense of money, especially good gambling, every time he fights cards and gambles, his eyes bulge out and his mouth splashes. Tang Lao Zhizhai repeatedly persuaded him to no avail, and he was depressed and sick. Only then did Tang Long change his mind, serve soup and water, and take care of his father. Helplessly, Tang Lao Zhizhai ran out of oil and died, Tang Long served filial piety for three years, and just spent his days in the barracks.

However, he said that there was a veteran soldier in the barracks, and he was nicknamed "Bafang Beauty", describing him as welcoming him up and down, flowering left and right, and eating anywhere. This "Eight Beauty" and Tang Long are gamblers, and they used to play hotly in the casino.

On this day, Bamei had nothing to do, looking east and west in the barracks, bored, and happened to see Tang Long practicing martial arts with a strange weapon. I saw that the weapon looked like a hammer, and it was stabbed and smashed, but it also had some weight. Tang Long didn't know what to press, but the handle of the hammer was still in Tang Long's hand, but the round hammer head flew out far away. It turns out that the hammer head and the handle are connected by chains, and the chains are usually hidden in this hollow handle. But when he thought that this was all the characteristics of this weapon, Tang Long pressed the motive again, and the round hammer head actually cracked into several bladed iron lotus, and when it touched a foreign object, it desperately bitten, and saw that the iron lotus with a sharp mouth bit off half of the pumpkin on the ground. When Tang Long dragged it with his hand, he returned to his hand, and the chain was retracted into the hollow handle, turning into a juicy hammer.

Bamei was taken aback by this terrifying weapon, and then remembered that this "money leopard" Tang Long may have inherited a lot of Tang Lao Zhizhai's inheritance. It is best to be able to set up a game to win the money in your own hands as gambling funds without knowing it. After making up his mind, he walked up to greet Tang Long with a smile on his face.

Tang Long put down the weapon in his hand and sang a song.

Bamei said: "Brother Tom, I haven't seen you for many days, and what kind of blade have you refined recently?" ”

Tang Long replied: "The younger brother is experimenting with the newly completed clumsy work, tentatively named 'Flying Lotus Hammer', which still has deficiencies and needs to be improved. ”

Bamei smiled: "Brother Tom is a good means!" Recently, Brother Tom has gone to the field to try his luck? ”

Tang Long said: "Brother, don't laugh, the younger brother has quit gambling for many years." It's been a long time since I didn't join in the fun. ”

Bamei still smiled: "But it's Brother Tom who is joking, this dice is commonly known as 'transfer stone', and it may not be possible to start the good luck road when you touch it, how to call it the word 'ring'?" Today, I see that Brother Tom is lucky, and he will be able to make a lot of money, why not go with me to the field to try his luck? ”

The officials don't know that this quitting gambling is different from quitting other bad habits, and they are most afraid of repeating. When people are gambling and winning, they want to "be unlucky, don't miss this prosperous appearance", and they will continue; When you lose, you want to "turn the tables under the guarantee, and even earn back all the principal and interest", and never stop. So once you enter the gambling game, if it is a gambler's physique, ten bullfights will not be able to pull it back.

Tang Long didn't know how, just bitter words. It's just that the veteran oil was pulling and pulling, and he couldn't help it, so he dragged Tang Long to the adjacent casino.

The gamblers in the casino, together with the dealer, saw that Bamei invited Tang Long, and they all guessed the old soldier's abacus in their hearts. Everyone also coveted Tang Long's family background, and they all wanted to win all his belongings. So the stars held the moon and surrounded Tang Long in the middle, betting on money.

It is also suitable for Tang Long's set, his luck in the first few games was surprisingly good, and the silver two coins gradually piled up like a hill. Tang Long threw the matter of quitting gambling out of the clouds, soared, and gradually became more generous.

This gambling game originally had a mechanism, and if it came out, it would be up to whoever wins and who loses. There is a huge field, but everyone is performing a play, but Tang Long is kept in the dark.

Seeing that the hour was not early, and Tang Long was on the rise again, Bamei and the others looked at each other and acted in the same way, so they began to let Tang Long gradually lose more than he won.

At first, Tang Long chased like a stream, without mercy, seeing that there was little gambling money left, he was afraid, but he wanted to stop. Where was everyone willing to let him go, the guarantee of the guarantee, the loan of the loan, and the loan made Tang Long have a lot of gambling money.

Tang Long was sweating profusely, looking nervously at every move on the table, and did not dare to take a breath before the opening of the cards and prayed silently, who knew that he still lost when he opened the cards, and was frustrated, but also looked forward to the next game to be a shocking reversal.

However, the miracle did not happen, and when the quick calculation in his heart estimated that he would win Tang Long's belongings, he slowed down the pace and refused to start the game.

Tang Long's eyes were red, just urging the start.

When the guy in the field brought an account book to Tang Long, he was dumbfounded, and many lending banks had his own handprints, and when they were added, it was already a huge amount of money.

Tang Long was really shocked to think that the balance of his family was less than one-third of these amounts.

Everyone advised him to stop today and come back another day.

Tanglong is useless except for striking iron, and there is no other income, so far today, there is no way back. He pretended to everyone that this is the case, and it is reasonable to settle the arrears today, and there is a way that "there is a loan and a repayment, and it is not difficult to borrow again".

He went home to get the money, along the way only felt that his feet were like stepping on cotton, only half a day, he was destitute, regretted that he should not have stepped on the casino again, and ended up in today's field, but the matter has come to this, he can only carry it by himself, all the way to the six gods without a master, and there is no idea in his heart. But when he left, everyone in the casino covered their mouths and smiled, and the prototype was revealed.

Tang Long was depressed, and he rolled up the rest of his family's wealth, but when he was about to go out, he couldn't step out of the threshold. He knows the rules of the casino, today's loan must be repaid today no matter what, and gambling is character. He pondered for a long time, and learned from the pain, and the only valuable things at home were the strange weapons he had made over the years that could be used as repayment. Cease! Cease! Cease! But he wore his "Iron Fist" and "Flying Lotus Hammer" and other strange blades on his body, covered in steel armor and iron armor, fully armed, and went out of the door and rushed towards the casino.
