Chapter 36: Don't Say It, I Understand (2)
It is rare for everyone to gather so together, so someone proposed to bet on a few star hexagram cards to help Yaxing.
The Star Hexagram is a very popular special tool among high-ranking military and political officials in the Qinglong Continent.
There are a total of forty-eight cards, respectively, one Yin Yao, one Yang Yao card, seven each of the Green Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, Xuanwu Four Divine Beast Cards, Qian, Kun, Zhen, Xun, Kan, Li, Gen, and two Bagua cards, and one of the two Qi cards of the central chaos and turbidity. Each card has a provenance and represents a very complex meaning.
Numerically speaking, the Yin card is six, the Yang card is nine, the four beasts each have seven cards, from low to high, the corresponding numbers are one, two, three, four, five, seven, eight, each number has four cards, the Bagua card is ten, and the clear and turbid two gas cards are zero.
The star hexagram card can be used for fortune telling, for divination, for games, and can also be used for gambling, not only for a wide range of uses, but also for gambling alone, and the way to play is also very varied, and is deeply loved by the upper class people in various countries.
The people present at the scene, there are two people who have never played this kind of game, Long Yuandong and He Dali, and there are seven or eight people who have played it, but they are not proficient.
Therefore, Shi Zhengyang proposed, by a sitting banker, three sitting idle, all people stand in four directions, each family takes two cards each time, the dealer and the player one by one, who has the big idea who wins.
In the star hexagram card, the yin and yang are made into a pair, named long live, the largest, then a pair of turbid two qi, and then a pair of gossip cards with the same hexagram. The same is a pair of gossip cards, such as a pair of dry cards and a pair of Kun cards, regardless of size, the dealer eats the player.
Below the gossip pairs, there are eighty-one pairs, seventy-one pairs, and five-one pairs...... One by one, the big pair eats the small pair. After the pair, it is the kong card, which is equal to ten when matched with the yang, which is called the sky bar, and matched with the yin is equal to ten, which is called the ground kong. The sky bar is larger than the ground bar.
Below the kong, it is a miscellaneous card, which is the single-digit size of the sum of the corresponding numbers of the two cards. The smallest is another ten, such as a gossip card with a Qingqi card, which is ten points, that is, no points. If the banker and the player also get another ten, the banker still eats the player.
In this set of big rules, there are also a number of small rules, which are complicated to say, but they are very simple to put into practice. Long Yuandong and He Dali followed and played a few games, and it became clear.
Shi Zhengyang said: "Since it's gambling, you can't do it without bets." But the stakes are too big, easy to hurt feelings, too small bets, and not interesting. I don't think it's better to do this, just limit the gold, silver, and bronze soul coins that we each have on our bodies, and if anyone loses them all, they will perform a stunt or drink a pot of spirits, and choose one of the two. ”
Everyone praised in unison.
Shi Zhengyang, Crescent White, He Xiaoduo, Mu Buqi, Longxinnan, and Feng Wanli are all royal families, and most of the rest are not descendants of nobles, or children of the family.
Moreover, as a soul master, you usually have some blood crystals on your body, whose purchasing power is equivalent to a large denomination of soul coins, and the liquidity is also leveraged, which can be used in an emergency, so there is no need to carry real soul coins.
Therefore, Shi Zhengyang said that he could only bet on soul coins, which was to scratch everyone's itch, so that the gambling game retained the fun it should have, and it would not make people lose red-eyed and hurt the peace.
In terms of background, the students present, only Long Yuandong and He Dali are from the mountains and grasses, and they go out to do things, all on their own, so they have the most soul coins on them, and the poorest people suddenly counterattacked and became the richest local tyrants, and Long and He were so unhappy. But fighting local tyrants is something that everyone is happy to see, and several people reached out to them to borrow capital at the moment.
After each of them had raised chips, everyone shouted and gambled happily.
The star hexagram card is generally carved with bamboo and wooden boards, and some of them are exquisite, using cow bones and ivory as materials. And the star hexagram card they use, which Wu Zuwei carried with him, is made of the leg bones of the gold-swallowing beast, which feels warm and moist, wear-resistant and falls, and will not be worn out for hundreds of years.
This kind of card flips on the table, banging sound, very imposing. Even Suxi's quiet crescent moon white was also infected by the joyful atmosphere and stood next to him to have fun.
The first to lose all the soul coins was Mu Buqi, who performed a unique skill of dismantling the mechanism, and then Longxinnan and Feng Wanli, respectively, showed the unique secret skills of space folding and turning Ding Alchemy, which was eye-opening.
The downstairs was full of people, lively and extraordinary, I didn't know the passage of time, but the upstairs Yun Tianjia was like a few years, I just hoped that everyone would leave quickly, and I could take Gong Luoluo away as soon as possible.
"What are you thinking?"
"I didn't think about anything!" Yun Tianjia said insincerely.
"Then why are you looking around, looking left and right, looking uncertain?"
"I'm afraid they'll find out. ”
Shui Xue sneered: "Hmph, I'm not afraid, what are you afraid of? Even if they find out, what will you do? Can they eat you? Or eat me? You are obviously tired of staying with me!"
Yun Tianjia was extremely embarrassed: "Water princess, don't make fun of me." You know exactly what the first time we met, because of the misunderstanding!"
The snow in the water pretended not to know: "Because of what?"
Yun Tianjia knew that she was deliberately making things difficult, and if she didn't say some good things, it was not enough to say what she wanted, and said: "The first time we met, I stared at you intently, which made you angry!"
Shui Zhongxue was secretly happy in her heart, bowed her head and was silent for a long time, and suddenly asked, "Why are you staring at me......?" Am I good-looking?"
Yun Tianjia was stunned.
He couldn't say it clearly, because she looked like an old acquaintance, so he paid more attention to her and offended her. Although he has low emotional intelligence, he is not a fool after all. At the moment, I learned to be obedient and praised: "Of course it looks good." You're the prettiest girl I've ever seen. ”
The snow in the water was like a spring breeze, full of joy, and then asked: "What about Gong Luoluo? What about the crescent moon? What about your county lord? What about Long Xinnan? Aren't they all beautiful?"
Yun Tianjia deliberately greeted him and continued to boast: "A few of them are rare beauties, if I say that they are not beautiful, you won't believe them." But in my eyes, you're the best-looking. ”
The snow in the water bloomed and said, "Is the wound on your shoulder still painful?"
"Out of the way. ”
In the ambiguity of Yun Tianjia and Shui Zhongxue's questions and answers, Gong Luoluo's medicinal properties gradually dissipated, and while she was diving her soul power to dissolve the cold ice that froze herself, she secretly scolded: "Flirt without shame, am I a dead man? You Yun Tianjia, turtle shell! Why are you just serious, hypocritical, and don't have a good word when you are with me? Why do you talk sweetly and flamboyantly with her?"
There is also snow in the water, which seems to be arrogant, but in fact she is very sullen, she doesn't ask anything, but asks, 'Why are you staring at me?' Am I good-looking?' is obviously forcing people to praise her, which is really shameless! Forcing people to praise her is just that, why do you deliberately step on others? Does she really think that she is better looking than Long Xinnan, He Xiaoduo, and Crescent White? Better looking than me? Hmph, when I get rid of the shackles, I have to ask the turtle shell to understand! Who is good-looking!
I thought again: "Since you are good-looking, why don't I carve another flower on your face, it will look better, haha, I will make you look good!"
