Chapter 312: The Weight of the Soul
In the current situation on the field, Ning Wuxian can only call at least "three thousand seven hundred taels" of silver, otherwise, he will lose to Lao Lu and settle for second, and according to the rules set by Jiang Lao Turtle's auction, the person with the second highest bid, although he can't get the first class, will give Jiang Lao Turtle the silver taels according to the price he called.
In other words, if Ning Wuyu didn't want to give the "two thousand six hundred taels" of silver he shouted earlier to Jiang Lao Turtle for nothing, he would have no choice but to continue to bid with Lao Lu and increase the price from three thousand six hundred taels.
If Ning Wu didn't want to give up bidding with Lao Lu, he would lose 2,600 taels of silver for nothing.
When everyone arrived at this time, they began to admire Lao Lulai.
This Lao Lu really deserves to be an old Jianghu, and in such a tense situation, he can still calculate carefully and force Ning Wuyu to this hurdle of "three thousand six hundred taels".
When everyone saw Lao Lu's gaze, they suddenly became very admirable.
Old Lu's tense nerves finally relaxed halfway, and he looked at Ning Wuxi.
The problem he gave Ning Wuyu to come up with depends on how Ning Wuyu, who is known as the "No. 1 Dealer in Changle Gambling House", solves it.
Although this auction is not gambling money, it has the same effect as gambling money, and it is the psychology of fighting people's hearts.
Ning Wuxian is naturally unwilling to fall behind in this matter.
Everyone also gave up the bidding, just to see how Ning Wuxian would fight with Lao Lu.
I saw that Ning Wuyu still had a dead face, dusted off the dust that didn't exist on the placket of his clothes, and then slowly cleared his throat and opened his mouth-
At that moment, Lao Lu's heart almost skipped half a beat.
Look at Ning Wuxi's calm demeanor, does he still have to increase the price?
If he keeps adding it, his net worth will be a little unbearable. What's more, he doesn't know how much Ning Wuyu has? Ning Wuyu has been in Changle Gambling House for ten years, only winning and not losing, and his net worth is naturally expensive, although he has a lot of money, he doesn't want to fight to the death with Ning Wuyu in this first-class cabin.
I saw that Ning Wuyi opened his mouth and slammed towards Lao Lu: "This Brother Lu's bid is too high, Ning Wuyi doesn't want to shoot, and he is willing to bow down!"
Jiang Lao Turtle waved his cigarette rod and counted the "dang" of the broken pot as a hammer: "First-class auction, 3,600 taels, the transaction! The winner is this Lao Lu, congratulations!"
He smiled and congratulated, just because this price was far beyond what he thought in his heart, it seems that the people on his lucky boat, everyone is more generous than he thought, more than he thinks about spending money, better than he thinks.
Lao Lu took out a handful of silver tickets from his arms, counted them, and handed them to Jiang Laojiao.
"This second place, it's Ning Wuyu from Changle Casino, two thousand six hundred taels," Jiang Lao Turtle walked over with a smile and stretched out one hand: "Please also ask Brother Ning to pay according to the previous rules." ”
Ning Wuyi's face did not change, and he also took out a handful of snowflake silver tickets from his arms and handed them to Jiang Laojiao.
At this point, the dust settled on the first-class cabin of the auction, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
The people who are filming are naturally elated, and those who are not filming don't spend money to watch such a good show, and they don't feel a loss.
And the most important thing is that everyone is very happy in their hearts, and they didn't have to be the unjust boss of Ning Wuxi, and gave away two thousand six hundred taels of silver tickets to Jiang Lao Turtle for no reason.
When the auction stops at a certain high price, the second bidder either continues to increase the price or give up the auction in order to avoid losses.
Everyone couldn't help but sigh again in their hearts, Jiang Lao Turtle is Jiang Lao Turtle, the thousand-year-old king 80,000 years of turtle, what he said is really not wrong at all.
"Oh, it turns out that this Jiang Lao Turtle has set such a trap from the beginning," when Bai Qianyu and Wei Xiao walked into their cabin with their luggage, Bai Qianyu said: "Ning Wuyu At that time, he fell into the predicament carefully set by Jiang Lao Turtle, he either increased the price to three thousand seven hundred taels of silver, so that he came up with an infinitely high price that was far higher than the actual price of the first class, or he would give up and lose two thousand six hundred taels of silver in vain." ”
"Yes," Wei Xiao said, "So Ning Wuxuan chose to give up after weighing the pros and cons." If he continued to bid with Lao Lu in order not to lose the two thousand six hundred taels of silver, the silver taels he actually put into it would probably be far more than three thousand seven hundred taels, Ning Wuyu was a smart person, so he naturally knew the truth of stopping losses in time, and immediately bowed his head to Lao Lu and admitted defeat. ”
"Will he admit defeat?" Bai Qianyu looked disbelieving: "Looking at his coy attitude towards Lao Lu, even I can see that he doesn't really admit defeat." ”
"Of course he isn't," Wei Xiao smiled: "Ning Wuyu, a veteran of fighting for money, is not only good at gambling, but he is also good at auctioning, he only needs to use one-tenth of his brain to think about it, Jiang Laojiao set up that small game, he can't deceive him." ”
Bai Qianyu suddenly understood: "Wei Xiao, it turns out that you and Ning Wuyu knew about the trap here from the beginning, right?"
"Well," Wei Xiao responded: "At first, we pretended to fight and wanted to lure each other into the bait, but then we both understood that each other had already seen through the ambush, and it happened that Ah Huo was sick, so I took the opportunity to find an excuse to quit." ”
Bai Qianyu said: "But although you have withdrawn, Ning Wuyu has not withdrawn, since he already knows that it is very likely to enter Jiang Lao's trap if he chases down again, why does he continue to drill into it?"
"This is going to ask Ning Wuyu himself," Wei Xiao smiled: "Maybe he is willing to do this kind of thing that hurts others and is not beneficial to himself, he would rather lose two thousand six hundred taels himself, and force Lao Lu to three thousand six hundred taels!"
Bai Qianyu thought that as soon as Ning Wuyu added the high price of 3,600 taels to Lao Lu, he immediately announced his withdrawal without changing his face, and his demeanor really seemed to be premeditated, so he believed Wei Xiao's statement.
What's more, Yi Ning has no desire for that yin and bad temperament, and he can't do this.
Bai Qianyu glanced at their cabin, and saw that although the room was not big, it was also neat and clean, a window on the door, you could see the thousands of blue waves outside, under the window was a small wooden bed, the pillows were complete, all the utensils were placed in a neat and orderly manner, only different from the usual is that there were a few wooden cups on the table, Bai Qianyu picked up a cup and looked at it in his hand, and saw that the wood color was half old and not new, the style was clumsy, and he liked it very much, and said: "Although this ginger turtle is very expensive, this thing has not treated us badly, and this cup cannot be seen on ordinary land." ”
Wei Xiao said: "The wooden cup used on the boat must be because of the fear of big waves and bumps, and the cup will slip and break," smiled: "If you like it, when we get off the boat, we bought it with Jiang Laojiao." ”
"Don't!" Bai Qianyu immediately shouted: "His temperament, when he sees us, it's strange if he doesn't ask for a price!"
"As long as you like it," Wei Xiao didn't care, and smiled: "Although this thing itself is not worth much, it is worth it if you like it." ”
Bai Qianyu's heart was sweet, and he still said angrily: "That's not good, let's take those two, the cost is big, and we have to save a little." ”
While untying the baggage, she put together the odds and ends that she had bought in the town one by one, and opened another baggage, but it was a bag of fruit, from which she picked out a few big and beautiful ones, took the wooden plate in the house, and put a plate, and went out of the room.
Wei Xiao grabbed her.
"Asana, where are you going?"
"Send some fruit to Xiaomo," Bai Qianyu said with a wooden plate: "Seeing that he is alone, there is nothing on his body except for the piano, I will go to visit him, and by the way, ask him how he got out of the fire that time." ”
"Qianyu," Wei Xiao's face became solemn, she picked up the wooden plate from her hand with one hand, put it on the table next to her, pulled her over with the other, and the two of them sat down on the edge of the bed: "Mo Guiyun's origin is very strange, I am worried that it will be dangerous for you to go to see him alone." ”
"He was born so weak, I'm afraid that except for Fuqin, those hands can't even tie a chicken," Bai Qianyu laughed: "Wei Xiao, are you too worried about me?"
Wei Xiao shook his head, his eyebrows furrowed: "Qianyu, he is not as simple as you think - being able to get out of the demon fire of the ghost car and be safe and sound shows that he is not an ordinary person." ”
"He's a natural ghost car, maybe he's not afraid of that demon fire. Bai Qianyu said.
Wei Xiao groaned for a while, slowly raised her eyes, and stared into Bai Qianyu's eyes: "Qianyu, I didn't plan to say something originally, but now, I still have to tell you." ”
"What words?" Bai Qianyu saw that he was cautious, and couldn't help but chuckle in his heart.
Wei Xiao said: "Actually, what happened at the Wilderness Inn that night was very strange. ”
Bai Qianyu looked at him with a questioning expression.
Wei Xiao paused, and then said: "That night, I checked the bodies of the four people who died in the inn, the innkeeper, the man, and the two swordsmen of the Cold Prison Gate, one by one, and the result was," He lightly held Bai Qianyu's hand, as if he was intimidating her: "I found that they all have one thing in common, that is, when they died, their faces were dark, their eyes were scattered, and the expressions on their faces were dull, and their corpses were slightly lighter than they looked......"
Even though it was held by Wei Xiao's hand, it was broad daylight at the moment, and the sea and sky outside the window were picturesque, but Bai Qianyu still felt a little creepy: "Lighter...... Do you mean ......?"
"Yes," Wei Xiao nodded affirmatively: "You may have guessed that these people have lost about 4 yuan in weight, and this-"
"The weight of the soul?" Bai Qianyu muttered, even under such a beautiful view outside the window, the sea breeze blew through the window, and it suddenly became cold.
She suddenly remembered what Dr. Zhao had told her:
"When I was studying in the United States, I heard my mentor Gordon tell me that in 1901, an American doctor named McTangale once did a special experiment in a hospital, that is, a patient with lung disease who was about to breathe was moved to a very large but very sensitive beam balance, and after about 3 hours and 40 minutes, the patient's facial expression suddenly disappeared, and in an instant, the beam shifted, and 21 grams of weight was lost!"
He was thrilled by the discovery, and over the next two and a half years, Dr. McTangale tested five more patients who were in danger and found that they all lost about 21 grams of weight in the moment of death,—— which seemed to suggest that there was no other explanation than for the soul leaving the body. ”
Bai Qianyu hurriedly used what little knowledge he had of ancient history to make a slight conversion in his heart:
This different world is the ancient unit of measurement, 1 catty = 16 taels = 160 money, 1 tael is equivalent to 50 grams in modern times, then 21 grams, it should be 4.2 money, which almost coincides with the weight of 4 coins that Wei Xiao said!
In other words, the weight of the soul is 21 grams, which is 4 coins in ancient times!
The medical knowledge of the real world coincides with the weight of the soul in the other world!
