When there is no story of "Journey to the West", how to let the monks stay in the 'Chabak' and have something to do, Zhao Li has other countermeasures. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Fellow Daoists, in order to provide you with time, the old driver has something to offer to you. ”

Zhao Li has already discovered that in the eyes of the uninformed monks, the three words 'old driver' are basically equivalent to words such as 'great power', 'great Confucian', 'peerless master', 'unborn', etc., since this is the case, you can bluff people with this name...

"Oh, what does the old driver have to kill time?"

"This fellow Daoist, let's talk quickly!"

The word 'old driver' really worked, and the eyes of the monks in the audience were all the word 'longing'.

Zhao Li waved his hand, and two more temporary clerks came to the field, stepped forward and handed Zhao Li two stacks of cards with a square palm.

Zhao Li took a stack of cards and unfolded them to show the monks on the field.

As you can see, there is a number written on each card, and different patterns are drawn in the upper right corner, some are a black triangle, some are a red heart, and some are red squares...

This stack of cards is the time-killing artifact that has been popular on Earth for generations - playing cards!

There is no such thing as 'cardboard' and 'hard paper' in this world, Zhao Li can only stack the general soft paper with glue in order to make qualified playing card paper, and finally draw numbers and patterns, which is not easy, especially in the case of such a large amount.

Finally, I was able to get a lot of playing cards ready before today.

"These paper cards, called 'solitaire' by the old driver's predecessors, are available for you to play. Zhao Lijie said.

But what I didn't expect was that as soon as the word 'solitaire' came out, the monks in the audience all showed disdain, and some monks immediately asked:

"Fellow Daoist, aren't these horses being hunted by mortals?"

It turns out that there are a lot of popular gambling activities in the mortal world of Qindi is to play 'horse hanging', the reason why it is called horse hanging, because this card is evolved from the horse, and the paintings on the card are related to money: Wen Qian is money, it has always been a thousand Wen money, and the rope is the rope that wears money, that is, the money string; and a thousand Wen Qian is also called a hanging money, from which it seems that you can see the shadow of "horse" and "hanging".

If you know it this way, the meaning of the name of the horse tag is self-explanatory, and it translates to "the card about money".

It is no wonder that the monks on the field are all disdainful, if it is a "card about money", and it is used by mortals for gambling, then it is naturally a great disdain.

When Zhao Li heard this, he sneered in his heart, fortunately he had been prepared.

"How can the old driver play such a vulgar thing as 'horse hanging'?" Zhao Li sneered and asked: "This card in my hand, a deck of 54 cards, these 54 cards, there are four suits representing cards from 1 to 13, can you know the secret?"

Hearing Zhao Li's disdainful sneer, the faces of the monks on the field changed again, yes, what kind of predecessor is the old driver, how can he go to play mortal gambling things?

"54 cards, numbers 1 to 13, what's the mystery in that?"

"The numbers 54 and 13 are neither sexagenary nor odd numbers, so what are they?"

"Fellow Daoist, I don't know, I still want to explain a thing or two. ”

The monks on the field asked each other, but they couldn't guess, and finally asked Zhao Li, but there was no disdainful expression, and they all looked eager to learn.

"Fellow Daoists, do you know Qiyao?"

Zhao Li looked like he was kind and seductive, in fact, he only knew the word Qiyao after learning "Shangyuan Gathering Stars", which is actually the meaning of seven days a week...

"Naturally, we know that the seven stars are Yao, and the Jinyao, Muyao, Shuiyao, Huoyao, Earth, Sun, and Moon are the seven Yao. ”

"But I don't know what the relationship between this Qiyao and the old boss is this card?

Qiyao is a must-know for monks who absorb the power of the heavens, the essence of the sun and the moon, and the power of the stars, but the monks present still don't understand what it has to do with the number of cards similar to the 'horse hanging' in front of them.

Zhao Li glanced at the monks present with an extremely superior look, and then said slowly: "A year is exactly 54 Qiyao. ”

"I don't know how many cold and summer I have cultivated in vain, and I don't know how many Qiyao a year, I'm really ashamed..."

"It's dark and the stars of the heavens, it's worthy of the old driver's predecessors used to pass the time..."

"I see!"

"No wonder, no wonder..."

The monks present suddenly resounded in response, and an expression of epiphany, understanding, and thoroughness appeared on the faces of each monk - in fact, none of them knew what the use of having 54 Qiyao in a year was...

In this regard, Zhao Li has already complained frantically in his heart: You are ashamed of the fart, it turns out to be such a wool! I don't even know what the mystery is, I only know that as long as these numbers can be related to the celestial calendar, you will be suppressed! Sure enough, I guessed it...

"The old driver also said that there are four kinds of patterns in the upper right corner of the card, representing the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter, of which red is day and black is night!"

Zhao Li complained frantically in his heart, and at the same time, he followed the minds of the monks present and explained to them blindly:

"The numbers 1 to 13 are also hidden mysteries, the sum of the 13 Qiyao and the number of cards of each suit of this card is exactly 13, the sum of the points of the 13 cards is 364, if you add a point of 'earth immortal', it is 365, which is the same as the number of days in a normal year, and if you add a point of 'great immortal', it is exactly the number of days in a leap year. ”

"Oh, what are 'earth immortals' and 'heavenly immortals'? It is that there are two separate supreme cards in these 54 cards, and the old drivers call them 'earth immortals' and 'heavenly immortals'. ”

Zhao Li's nonsense perfectly echoed the numbers in the astronomical calendar, which was really justified and convincing to Xiu.

In order to make these arrogant monks accept such entertainment and leisure tools as 'playing cards', Zhao Li also took great pains, not only to link the number of cards with the astronomical calendar, but also to change the name of the two cards of 'big king and little king' to 'heaven and earth, earth immortal', and change the three cards of J, Q and K to 'human, ghost and god'.

After Zhao Li explained, the audience was surprisingly quiet.

After most of the tea, the sound sounded as enthusiastically as a volcanic eruption.

"Darkness and heaven and earth, this card is really unfathomable!"

One of the monks was lost in thought and muttered to himself.

"Heaven and earth, cold and summer, spring and autumn, day and night, all in one palm, the old driver predecessors can be called a generation of Taoism!"

"I didn't expect that there was such a profound mystery in a small deck of cards, and I dared to compare it with a horse hanger, which is really a sin!"

"The old driver's predecessors are really a generation of hidden powers! What he wants me to wait for is probably not a simple time, but the spring and autumn, the cold and summer, and the years in the world!"

More monks uttered all sorts of deep admiration.

"It turns out that the old driver has such a deep meaning, I only know now, I am really ashamed! There may be a shocking secret in this card, from today I must carefully refer to the mystery in this card!"

There is also a small frustration of the monk who has already gone a little crazy in reverie...

"By the way, this Daoist brother, you haven't told us how to play this 'Solitaire'?" When the only monk who was still relatively calm asked Zhao Li for advice, he also quietly changed his title from 'Little Daoist' to 'Daoist Brother'.
