The sound of horses' hooves came like a storm in front of him, and when he stopped, it was the carriage of the three rows of cousins—as soon as the door opened, he jumped down from the carriage in a hurry, and shouted, "What the matter, why do you sit outside?" ”

In the middle of the robe brother's association, the eldest brother in the first row is respected, and there are three rows of halls responsible for money and grain management, five rows of halls for law enforcement and punishment of culprits, and six rows of halls responsible for the contact between the outer hall and the gang, and called the three halls. The head of the three halls is called cousin, and there is no distinction between the ranks in the middle and the middle, and they each share their own affairs.

There are also reasons for the two and fourth rows that came out, 'line two and stay' because they dare not cross the position of the second brother, but all the Jianghu sects must set aside the two chairs; 'Every four over one' is because there was less Zhao Zilong in Taoyuan back then, if he was there, he would be the fourth brother - this was extremely popular in the Sichuan and Chongqing generation, and it was an iron-clad rule of the rivers and lakes.

Na Xiongqi is doing the business of licking blood from the knife edge, he is short-tempered and murderous, and he has always pressed half of the three rows of cousins on weekdays. Although today's incident is against the will of the eldest brother, he still will not bow his head in front of this fat man - seeing the three rows of cousins rushing towards him violently, his face immediately sank:

"Mao Fatty, Lao Tzu wants your baby to teach me An? Why, I feel uneasy, I don't feel easy, I'm not comfortable to spread it myself! ”

The three-row cousin Mao Fat Man immediately withered when he saw him angry, and hurriedly accompanied a smile: "Oh, fifth brother, don't be angry, I'm not in a hurry to talk nonsense... Boss Luo has asked me more than a dozen times since the morning, and there is really no way! ”

"Hey! Don't tell me that! The fifth brother of the red flag waved his hand: "Whether you are really in a hurry or not, anyway, I don't want to care about this matter, you don't want to give me any bias, beware of Lao Tzu lighting a fire for you!" ”

The meaning of the fifth brother of the red flag is clear, not only does he not plan to buy the temple, but he is not even allowed to cheat behind his back, and these words suddenly confused the fat man.

He was dumbfounded and said, "Fifth brother, what do you mean by this?" His little eyes turned a few times to the Supreme Treasure on the side, and he immediately stretched out his hand and pointed: "Did this doll use some kind of magic to confuse you, Fifth Brother, you don't care about the eldest brother..."

"Lose a hammer, it has nothing to do with him!" The fifth brother interrupted him with a scolding: "Our robe brother will always help the poor to make the landlord's old wealth, even if he sometimes makes a little money, he can't do the step of pulling people's bottom fire, but this time, you can see for yourself!" The boss is trying to buy another piece of land, and if he doesn't sell it, he shouts that we will decide another immortal board in the future - this thing needs a hammer, and it is rumored that after cutting it, I can't stand up straight when I walk into the street! ”

At that moment, the fifth brother of the red flag said what he was thinking, saying that he would never participate in the persecution of the people...

He poked this pot leak to make the fat man a little helpless, and after pondering, he also felt that the child of the Supreme Treasure was not simply ready to start here, so he took two hemp candy from the carriage and called the Supreme Treasure to the front: "Baby, uncle told you, we must not rob your place, we just want to buy it, as for your life problems, there is indeed a solution - can you tell the uncle, what does your master have to sell?" ”

I turned seventeen or eighteen turns in my heart, but I couldn't figure out how to start...

He just asked casually, but he didn't expect that the Supreme Treasure already had an idea in his heart when he saw him. He reached out and took the hemp candy, and Mimi smiled and said: "The master said that this place can also be sold, but I am afraid that you will not be able to pay for it, and then you will criticize the plug and just stir up the trouble-if you really buy it according to our rules, it does not mean that it will not be sold to you!" ”

The fat man was overjoyed when he heard this, and he just hugged the Supreme Treasure and kissed it, and immediately asked again and again what the price was - the Supreme Treasure ran into the temple with a hemp candy grin, and when he came out again, he held a boxy chessboard in his hand.

He put the chessboard on the ground, pointed to the first grid in the upper left and said, "We don't want money, just rice, you can bring rice to us: one rice in the first grid, two rice in the second grid, four rice in the third grid, and eight rice in the fourth grid......"

The fat man suddenly understood: "The fifth sixteen!" The sixth, thirty-two! In other words, each grid is twice the size of the front, isn't it? He couldn't believe his ears - you must know that the ocean at that time was a hard currency, and a piece of ocean could buy nearly 100 catties of rice in Sichuan and Chongqing, and a thousand oceans of rice... I really don't need to count it, that's dozens of carts of white rice!

The Supreme Treasure was amused in his heart, but he still nodded with an innocent look on his face: "En!" ”

"Don't you count?" The fat man still didn't believe it: "What your doll said, why don't your master recognize it?" ”

Before his words fell, a voice came from afar:

"Count, why don't you count? As long as you prepare the rice according to this chessboard, then my title deed will be given to you! ”

Many robe brothers turned around together with the Supreme Treasure, and saw that the temple door suddenly opened at this moment, and an old Taoist priest waving a piece of yellow paper came out, dirty, ugly and obscene, it was the temple Zhu Liu Piyun who had seen it.

Without waiting for the fat man to speak, the old Liu Tou of the temple wished him and continued: "But my apprentice also said this, I'm afraid that you won't be able to buy it and stir up trouble, so we will only come once," he asked the Supreme Treasure to bring the chessboard and put it on the stone platform at the entrance of the temple: "If you are ready to get this rice, you will come and take the title deed, and if you can't prepare, then don't mention it again - can you keep this rule?" ”

Since the price of Lao Liu Tou's relief is so low, there is still no reason for the fat man to be allowed, so he took the red flag and the fifth brother Mo Kouzi agreed, and also made an appointment with Lao Liu Tou's three high-fives-

When the high-fives were given, both sides had the same thought in their hearts: "You Ha'er! ”

Go is one of the ancient qinqi calligraphy and paintings, a total of 19 lines in length and width, forming 361 intersections, representing the number of 361 days is well known, but the grid is only 324 grids.

Seeing that the old Liu Tou agreed, the fat man immediately said goodbye and rushed back to prepare rice in order to avoid a long night and dreams, and the fifth brother of Hongqi saw that the matter was over, and he no longer delayed, and also rushed back, leaving a quiet afternoon to everyone in the ghost market.

At this moment, not only Lao Liu Tou hahadaxiao, but even everyone in the ghost city was overjoyed after knowing the reason!

It turns out that the regulars in this ghost market are not only new ghosts, but also old ghosts hundreds of years ago, and those ghosts are well-informed and like the Supreme Treasure, and sometimes they will tell some strange stories to listen to.

This story about the Go board is also one of the stories told by the ghosts!

Not to mention far away, and when the grid reaches the hundredth grid, the number of rice grains will be a number of thirty-one, and a pound of rice is only about 26,000 grains, and the number of catties will not only be not enough for Brother Pao, but even the whole of China will have to take tens of thousands of years to harvest!

It's even more so than when it comes to three hundred and twenty-four squares!

Brother Pao will be nothing more than a Jianghu organization, and the three-row cousin Mao Fat Man is just more arithmetic and business skills than others, and he has read so many books on weekdays, and he has been put into it by the Supreme Treasure.

That night, the fat man ran back and forth in Rongcheng Mizhuang for half a night, and Zuihou went to report to Luo Dabeard with a disgraced face, but he was kicked out!

Then Luo Dabeard rushed to the hotel where the Guantian monk lived overnight......

Night.

Tonight is not the fifteenth day of the new year, nor is it every three festivals and seven days, the ghost market will naturally not open, and the people in the ghost market are also busy finishing the work they received a few days ago and did not stay in the city god temple - even the old man in August, who is not willing to go out on weekdays, has something to go out, and the few remaining people naturally got into the bed early.

Supreme Bao said that he took a gourd of water and wine from Lao Liu Tou, plus half a handful of dried sweet potatoes drying outside the door of Lu Fatzi, sneaked back to his room early and drank a good drink, and naturally climbed into bed early.

The thugs stiffened and buried their heads in sleep!

In the middle of the night, the Supreme Treasure somehow suddenly woke up, and only felt thirsty, so he groped his way out of bed to find the water tank - only after walking a few steps, he seemed to hear a voice shouting, and in a daze, he actually walked out of his house, all the way to the river...

The cat spins, the dog opens the door, and the little ghost hooks the ghost to guard the grave!

By the time he was fully conscious, he was already standing next to a fire, and not far away there was a table with three sacrifices, ink bowls, and white candles, on which were placed the three sacrifices, ink bowls, and white candles, on which were wrapped around human tooth chains, and next to them were a pair of carved little people, like jade and bones.

The white candle burned with a strong rancid smell, and the wind around the fire was even more unpleasant, but the Supreme Treasure didn't pay attention to this—he looked curiously at what the man was doing by the fire, and his heart was at a loss.

The man grabbed a black cat with a severed head in his hand, and sprinkled the cat's blood on the ground as he circled around the table, and gradually became a circle... He had words in his mouth, and from time to time he reached out and lifted the cat's corpse, as if he was showing it to someone!

After looking at it for a moment, the man suddenly turned his head - it was the person who inserted the wax rod he saw that day, and the monk who watched the sky was also!

He bared his white teeth and grinned: "Little doll, I didn't expect you to wake up... Alas, you're so unlucky, why wake up? When you wake up, you have to suffer a lot of torture, so why bother? As he spoke, he shoved two fingers into the neck cavity of the cat's corpse, and after taking it out, he reached out and flicked it.

A drop of blood flew out and splashed right on the forehead of the Supreme Treasure!

"Wait!" The Supreme Treasure didn't wipe it, and hurriedly shouted: "What do you want to do when you got me here?" You can tell me whatever you want," he rolled his eyes and brought out a phrase that ghosts often say, "Even if I die, let me die to understand!" ”

"Dead? Hehe, that's not going to happen," the Guantian monk laughed a few times: "You are my deed of ownership, you are going to die, what should I ask them to exchange?" Peace of mind baby, as long as you sleep obediently, everything is over! ”

The Supreme Treasure shouted anxiously: "Don't! Let's make it clear, how to change it...", but the Guantian monk ignored it, reached out and flicked the other two drops of blood onto the puppet on the table, and shouted loudly:

"Life and death go back and forth, do as you are told-up!"

It's strange to say that the puppet on the table actually jumped twice with his shout!

In the eyes of outsiders, it was the puppet that was beating, but the Supreme Treasure clearly saw that the puppet suddenly burst out of an indescribable black yin wind, and after condensing in mid-air, it turned into two small people with black bodies.

These two villains are clearly still children when they look like children, but the cold, vicious, resentful and fierce on their faces are a little heavier than those fierce ghosts!

It's nothing more than a vicious and resentful one!
