Shi Ziling asked Ming that the congratulatory gift had been delivered to Chen Gongzhao's mansion safely, and finally put his mind at ease, thinking that it was fortunate that he had not been awake for the past few days and had not delayed his business.

Yu Zhengtian told Shi Ziling that this was the house of his second brother Yu Zhengmiao, and introduced Yu Zhengmiao to Shi Ziling, who hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

Yu Zhengmiao is slightly younger than Yu Zhengtian, and his face looks much younger. He is of medium stature, I don't know if it is because he has been in the prosperous Songhu City all the year round, but he looks like a private school gentleman when he raises his hands and feet, and he seems to be much more gentle than the people of the Pan'an Yu family.

Yu Zhengmiao was also very happy to see that Shi Ziling, a big master, had no shelf, and asked him again and again whether his body had completely recovered, whether he was still used to sleeping in this room, and so on.

Shi Ziling smiled and said, "It turns out that I have slept for so many days, no wonder I feel full of energy." I'm sure my body has fully recovered, so please rest assured. By the way, this room is not only clean and tidy, but also has a special smell, smelling and feeling very refreshing, I wonder if it is the relationship between this furnace of sandalwood?"

Yu Zhengmiao said with a smile: "This furnace of red sandalwood is what my daughter Magnolia is used to every day, it is said that this incense can not only purify the heart and nourish nature, but also have the ability to ward off evil spirits and suppress qi." She heard that Ziling you couldn't sleep, so she specially asked the maid Xiaohui in her room to send it over, Ziling, if you like it. By the way, tomorrow is Chen Gongzhao's birthday, Ziling, if you are in good health, come with us to the banquet. ”

Shi Ziling nodded in agreement, and everyone chatted for a while before they dispersed.

Shi Ziling slept for a few days, feeling very energetic, just when Yu Wei came over and asked him if he wanted to go for a walk, Shi Ziling smiled and agreed, so the two walked to Yu Mansion together.

When they arrived at the door, a little maid hurriedly chased after them from behind.

Shi Ziling saw that it was the maid who accidentally knocked over the incense burner in his room at first, so he asked her what was wrong.

The little maid said with a red face: "Our young lady said that if Shi Gongzi is free, he would like to ask Shi Gongzi some questions about martial arts." ”

Shi Ziling saw that this little maid was talking with her head down and blushing, and thought it was very interesting, and said with a smile: "It turns out that Miss Yu is also a martial artist, I don't know if you can do martial arts?"

The little girl was slightly stunned, and her pretty face was even more red, and she replied in a low voice: "I have also learned a little bit." ”

Seeing her embarrassment, Shi Ziling felt a little embarrassed, and hurriedly said: "When we come back, I will definitely visit your young lady, and by the way, thank you for the sandalwood you sent." ”

The little maid happily gave a gentle salute to the two, and then turned back to reply to Miss Yu.

Shi Ziling turned his head and asked Yu Weidao: "Did Miss Yu learn the martial arts of the Yu family or Niu Zhengying's martial arts?"

Yu Wei thought for a while and said: "Miss Yulan seems to be a registered disciple of the master of the Water Moon Nunnery, according to Master Niu, Miss's strength is quite good, and it doesn't seem to be under Elder Niu." Also, Miss Yulan is the number one beauty of our Yu family, even in the entire Songhu City, you see that her personal maid Xiaohui is already so beautiful. ”

Shi Ziling smiled: "Oh, which is more beautiful than the Bai Qingshuang we met on the road?"

Yu Wei couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, tilted his head and thought about it, and said: "Well, how can I say it, our Miss Yulan is the kind of beauty that makes people feel very relieved and comfortable to look at, and that little witch is the kind of beauty that makes people drool and is a little scared." Alas, they are all big beauties, and I can't say it, is this ......"

Shi Ziling smiled and pulled Yu Wei out of the door.

The prosperity of Songhu City is really not the same as that of Pan'an County, at this time it is not yet noon, the merchants on the street have been shouting and selling continuously, there are many pedestrians and most of them are brightly dressed, or the line is in a hurry or leisurely strolling, the street is a lively scene.

Yu Wei took Shi Ziling and walked through several of the most lively streets in the city with great interest, and then turned into a narrow alley. Although the alley is narrow, there are no fewer pedestrians than outside.

Shi Ziling asked Yu Wei: "There must be a famous restaurant in the city here, right? Well, the so-called wine fragrance is not afraid of deep alleys, but I'm not very hungry?"

Yu Wei smiled and said: "There is not only delicious food in this alley, but also fun, every time we come to Songhu City from Pan'an, this Jincai Lane is a must-come." With that, he took Shi Ziling into a small building.

Shi Ziling followed Yu Wei to take a look, there were many people inside, it turned out to be a gambling house.

Yu Wei said to Shi Ziling: "This is the largest and most famous gambling house in Songhu City, and many people with money and status will patronize it, and some eat and play." Hehe, the fortune teller said that I have a lot of money this year, I wonder what my luck will be today?"

Shi Ziling smiled: "But I don't know how to gamble." ”

"It's not difficult,"

Yu Weixing hurriedly pulled Shi Ziling to a gambling table and sat down, "This table is to play dice, each dice is from one point to six o'clock, it's very simple, you can understand it by looking at a few handfuls." I'll go over there and play a few pai gow, and I'll come back here for you later. ”

Before leaving, Yu Wei whispered next to Shi Ziling's ear: "Legend of the rivers and lakes martial arts masters can hear the points of the dice, you are so powerful, maybe you can do it, don't forget me if you win." ”

Yu Wei squeezed his eyes towards Shi Ziling, patted him on the shoulder again, and then walked away happily.

Shi Ziling was amused in his heart, although he didn't have much interest in gambling money, but thinking about it anyway, it was okay, since he came to take a look. Yu Wei's interest was so high, and Shi Ziling didn't want to spoil his interest too much.

The table he was at was playing big and small, and after Shi Ziling sat down and looked at a few handfuls, he basically understood the rules.

The so-called bet size is that the dealer puts three dice in a dice cup and keeps shaking, and then the sum of the points opened is between four and ten called "small", and the sum of the points opened between eleven and seventeen is called "big". If the three numbers drawn are the same, such as three, six or eighteen, etc., the banker wins.

Shi Ziling is also a teenager, and since he understands the rules, he thinks he might as well give it a try. When he came out of Pan'an County, Master Yu advanced some of his wages, two gold coins and some silver coins, he took them with him, and immediately touched three silver coins from his arms and put them on the gambling table.

Shi Ziling looked at it a little, picked up a silver coin and pressed it "big". There are not many people playing at this table, and soon several players have finished betting, and the dealer called "open" to open the dice, and opened two threes, one four, adding up to ten points, which should be "small".

Shi Ziling frowned, picked up a silver coin and pressed the "big", but the dealer opened the "small" again, and with three in a row, Shi Ziling bet wrongly, and the three silver coins were lost.

Shi Ziling shook his head and smiled bitterly, secretly sighing that he really didn't have any luck, and was about to get up and leave to see Yu Wei's situation, when he suddenly remembered what Yu Wei had just said, saying that it was a legend that martial arts masters could hear the points of dice.

Shi Ziling thought that he may not be a master, but since he practiced his spiritual power, his ear's hearing has increased greatly, and he could still clearly hear the conversation of the people in the thirteen villages of Jiangdong that day after a long distance in the dense forest, it was because of the integration of Zhenyuan into the spiritual power, I don't know if this trick has any effect on listening to the dice.

At this time, the dealer closed the dice cup and was about to shake, before opening two points and one three, Shi Ziling slightly concentrated, the whole body of the true yuan flow, although it was too late to accumulate spiritual power, but confident that the true yuan flow under their own hearing will be far better than ordinary people, so they pricked up their ears and listened.

The dealer began to shake the cup, "Bang, Bang, Bang, ......"

Shi Ziling listened attentively, the three dice flipped quickly in the dice cup, the more he listened, the more frowning, and when the dealer stopped, he couldn't help but shake his head. It turned out that he only heard one of the three dice turn to six, but the other two dice couldn't keep up at the same time because of their attention, and finally had to give up tracking.

When the dealer opened the dice cup, sure enough, the dice he had been paying attention to were open at six points.

Shi Ziling thought to himself, to pay attention to the turning of the three dice at the same time, it seems that it is not enough to rely on the true yuan and hearing alone, if he didn't focus on one dice just now and give up paying attention to the other two dice, then I'm afraid he won't even be able to hear the points of one dice.

This doesn't seem to have much to do with the strength of the true element, the important thing is to be able to stare at the three dice at the same time in the case of distraction, which is the so-called single-mindedness and three-purpose. It is important to know that the technique of the pot shaker here is quite ingenious, and the three dice stop for almost the same time each time, and it is difficult for even an old gambler with excellent hearing to clearly distinguish the last point.

It is also very difficult for ordinary people to use two things, let alone three purposes. But the "Soul Dementor" that Shi Ziling has practiced these days is a profound method of skillfully using spiritual power in various ways.

Shi Ziling's heart moved, and he secretly gathered his spiritual power slowly according to the law, and then integrated his true yuan into it, and his eyes swept around, and he saw clearly the points of the first three dice in the dice cup that the dealer entered, and then shook the cup and listened to the sound.

Although the three dice in the dice cup were flipping quickly, this time it sounded very slow and slow in Shiziling, and the flipping trajectory of each dice was clear in Shiziling's mind. When the shaking cup was finished, he clearly heard that this time it was one, two, and three o'clock "small".
