Chapter 20: The Mystery of Solitaire (2)
"The 'card' gameplay of the old driver's predecessors is naturally not as vulgar as the 'horse hanging' in the mortal world. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
"The name of this card is ...
Zhao Li played with the playing cards in his hand and said word by word.
"Race for the top?"
"This name is also extraordinary, and it is meaningful!"
"Although I don't know how to play yet, I think of using the cold and summer, spring and autumn day and night as a card to compete with the immortals, and I feel like ...
It was only when they heard the name of the playing card that the monks who had finally quieted down once again burst out with their bottomless admiration for the old driver's predecessors.
Next, Zhao Li introduced this 'striving for the top' gameplay to the monks, and there was really no resistance.
And after these monks learned it with great interest, they also played in a table of four, and the monks who had no place or did not get the cards could only watch from the side.
Zhao Lizhong naturally knew that if he hadn't used the name of 'old driver' and forcibly linked these cards to the celestial calendar, these monks would not have been interested in touching these cards.
Therefore, Zhao Li didn't expect to make money with this card, he just wanted to increase customer stickiness, so that they could have something to do while waiting for 'one or two purchases', so that they would not be bored.
After handing over the sale of 'one or two purchases' to the proprietress Nie Linghui, Zhao Li planned to go out, he wanted to see what happened to the related industries under the Mowen Sect, and whether the exchange of 'points' was normal.
"Why do you look at me so strangely?" Zhao Li couldn't help but ask when he saw Boss Nie looking at him with a strange look.
"Nothing. Boss Nie shook her head and said: "A few days ago, when you made this 'card', you never told me the mystery, but when I heard you say it today, I think it's really extraordinary." If you let these people know that you are an old driver, I am afraid that they will all bow down to you. ”
Zhao Li sneered and said: "Boss, then you are wrong, if you let them know that I am the old driver, I am afraid that they will immediately drop the cards in their hands and go out, then no one will listen to "Journey to the West". ”
"These monks are all above the top, and the reason why they admire the old driver is because they think that what they admire is a great power that cultivates to the heavens and the earth, not a small casual cultivator like me who is a third-level qi refining and can only rely on his cleverness to struggle to survive on this Yuntai Mountain. ”
"In this world, the only useful ones are cultivation and spirit stones. One day, I will let them know that even if I don't have a sect, I can live better than them!"
Zhao Li said softly, smiled at Nie Linghui again, and said, "Boss, but this kind of great goal needs your support, such as 'one or two purchases' to strive to sell a little more, and then let these guests have more drinks, and..."
"Alright, okay, I know. You go away, you. Nie Linghui waved at Zhao Li with a disgusted expression.
"Stay safe on the road, come back early in the afternoon, and don't forget to tell the story. Seeing that Zhao Li was about to go out, Nie Linghui couldn't help but add.
"Okay, I got it. ”
Zhao Li walked out of the door and walked towards the center of Fang, the industry of Mo Wenzong.
・・・・・・
Zhao Li spent a while and went to all the magic weapon shops and pill pharmacies of the Mowen Sect, although because of the lack of product quality and the lack of price discounts, it was destined to be unable to compare with those shops that specialize in dealing in magic weapons and pills, but the flow of people has also increased significantly compared with the past.
Especially in the pill pharmacy, because the consumption of pills is huge, the monks who are tasked with purchasing the pill of five hundred taels of spirit stones are just a small amount of money, accounting for only a very small part of the overall purchase, even if these pills are a little worse, it doesn't matter, but they can be exchanged for 500 points for a copy of the entire "Journey to the West".
And now "Journey to the West" is the hottest time, and now the price of a "Journey to the West" has been fried to nearly ninety taels of spirit stones, and the "Detailed Explanation of Journey to the West" that requires '1000 points' has been fried to more than 200 taels of stones, which is equivalent to shopping under the Mowen Sect, with nearly 20% cashback!
This 20% huge benefit has made the Mowenzong Pharmacy, which was originally a big deal, now overcrowded, and even once there was an amazing situation where some pills were sold out, although this situation will not last long, as the volume of "Journey to the West" continues to rise in the market, the heat will inevitably subside, but the completion of the agreement of Cuiwenlou is a sure thing.
In this case, Zhao Li also put his mind at ease, and planned to take advantage of the afternoon to talk about the story, and take a good look at today's big set, after all, this is the most lively time of the year in Yuntai Mountain, and it is also the best opportunity to increase knowledge.
Zhao Li was wandering around the street at the moment, looking at all kinds of new things, because many monks came to Yuntai Mountain to sell things temporarily, so they all put up a piece of cloth on the side of the road, or set up a small stall to be regarded as a trading place.
Zhao Li walked to a street in Fangnan, and saw a small stall on the side of the road, surrounded by a lot of people, and couldn't help but squeeze in, wanting to see the excitement, but he saw an acquaintance.
This is a chess stall, well, similar to the kind of small chess stall on the earth in the previous life, which was placed near the railway station and bus station in a third-tier small county, how much money to gamble.
At the chess stand, there are two monks sitting playing chess at the moment, the challenger sitting outside is a middle-aged monk in the middle of foundation building, and the one sitting inside to accept the challenge is a twelve- or thirteen-year-old mid-stage Qi refining boy, looking at the black and white chess pieces on the chessboard, it should be Go.
Behind this young man stood a thin Taoist, this Taoist had a burnt yellow goatee, it was the old Taoist priest who was watching the young man playing chess with great relief.
"Piercing the clouds, you old guy actually accepted a good apprentice, he is young, but his chess skills are so old, alas, I admit defeat. ”
The middle-aged foundation building monk held a chess piece in his hand, pondered for a long time, and finally shook his head, dropped the chess piece with a wry smile, and said: "I heard that even several disciples of Dingxing Palace were defeated, I still don't believe it, but now I know that this is true, presumably your disciple has learned the formation, and it is also a thousand miles a day." ”
The old man who pierced the clouds touched his goatee a little proudly, and said: "If you are not a little sure, how dare you set up a chess game in this Yuntai Shanfang City, but this kid has not been in the field for a long time, and it is too early to learn the formation or something." ”
It turned out that in the previous Xianmen apprenticeship ceremony, the old Taoist priest who lived in a good view wore Yunzi, because of Zhao Li, not only did not receive a disciple, but instead copied a copy of the Gongfa book in the door to pay it to Changgemen, and finally left Qingshan City gloomily.
But the so-called loss of the horse, how to know whether it is a blessing, in the old road of the clouds to return to the good view, actually happened to meet a young man with extraordinary attainments in chess, and happily accepted as an apprentice.
You must know that this game of Go has a lot in common with the formation, if one of the pieces in the game has no 'qi', it is a dead game, and the characteristics of the pattern in the formation are the same as the chess pieces, the arrangement is slightly different, and without the 'spiritual power', it is also a dead formation.
Generally speaking, monks with a very high level of formation skills are definitely not weak in chess, and monks with superb chess skills can learn the formation with half the effort.
Seeing that he had won the foundation building period seniors in front of him, the twelve or thirteen-year-old boy was quite proud, put down the chess pieces in his hand, and said to the crowd of onlookers: "But does anyone dare to play chess with me?"
