[007] The road is uneven

At night, except for the ghost market, all the other places in the city were already in silence, and the comfort accompanied by darkness shrouded the city.

Out of Mo Zhai's restaurant, Xiao Shizhu quickened his pace and walked forward, but secretly scolded in his heart: "When Lao Tzu is stupid, a few bottles of spicy throat of broken wine want to pull Lao Tzu to rebel and die like this? Then, he spat hard, and a feeling of pleasure arose in his chest.

Scolding and scolding, he calmed down before this spit landed, fortunately, there is no aunt and uncle with a red-sleeved sleeve sleeve to clean up, otherwise this red head will be gone.

Xiao Shizhu, who calmed down, suddenly thought that if that thin old man was really Mozi, and he was a human soul, and he could not enter reincarnation for a thousand years, then this person's power in this capital city should not be underestimated, and there must be this person's eyeliner in the city.

If he dares to refuse the request of such a thousand-year-old man, the other party will definitely not be able to hold his face, and maybe his disciples will come to find his bad luck in a while. After thinking about it, Xiao Shizhu not only felt that he was too impulsive just now, but also quickly thought of a way to avoid the disciples of the Mo family, that is, to go to a place where there are many eyes.

But the lights are blind at night, and the shops on the street have already closed, looking at the ancient buildings all over the underworld, compared to those that have not yet advanced to the point of having bars, KTVs, and other entertainment venues! After thinking about it for a while, the word "casino" came to his mind.

This kind of place is full of people, and the owner of such a store has his own backstage, and there are thugs in the store, who would dare to make trouble in the casino?

And although this is the underworld, it can't be without casinos, gambling has been banned thousands of times in the world for thousands of years, and there is no way to wipe out this industry to prevent future troubles. What's more, when he is waiting for reincarnation in the future, there will be more places to use money, so why not go to the casino to make some money before the final judgment comes, and kill two birds with one stone.

For others, most of the casinos are to lose money, and it is very impossible to make money, but for Xiao Shizhu, who has a thousand skills, this kind of thing is too simple. When he was in the human world, he often made money like this, as long as the casino in the underworld is also a dice pai gow or something, he is 100% sure that he can make a profit from it.

After making up his mind, Xiao Shizhu walked quickly in the direction of the store with the word "gambling" on the front door not far ahead.

After entering the store, Xiao Shizhu slowly walked into the hall, only to see that the decoration of this casino is luxurious but not vulgar; every table and chair in the large hall is made of sandalwood, which is classical and public. The floor is covered with glass carved floors, elegant but noble. The roof is supported by tall mahogany columns, which have an indescribable opulence of pen and ink.

In the crowded lobby, shouts and sighs are intertwined, one after another. There were three pai gow tables in the hall, and the three dice tables were full of people. Gorgeously dressed maidservants carry tea, snacks, fruits, and other items back and forth between tables to serve guests.

Xiao Shizhu just glanced at the lobby, and saw that those maids would bypass a few of the guests, and immediately understood that it was a "dark light" that caught thousands of people in the casino.

At this time, a handsome maid with a beautiful appearance walked straight up to him and stood still, and after giving him a blessing salute, she respectfully asked, "Is the son coming to Lele?"

"The service is not bad. Xiao Shizhu nodded with satisfaction, his eyes swept the servant's bulging chest, and after swallowing a mouthful of saliva, he rubbed his hands and took out a gold ingot and said, "Beauty, take me to exchange chips." ”。

The servant girl made a promise and took him to the place where the chips were exchanged. After changing the chips, Xiao Shizhu took five of the chips casually without looking at them, and directly stuffed them to the maid who led the way as a reward.

Looking at his Qing'er behavior, this maid actually thought that he was a frequent visitor, and hurriedly took the opportunity to give those "dark lights" a look. All this did not escape Xiao Shizhu's eyes, and an old gambler like him naturally knew that this look was a sign that the dark lights had paid attention, and he might be a good sign.

But Xiao Shizhu is not stunned, the thousand techniques he uses are the borrowing of lights that are tacitly approved in the casino, as long as he doesn't win too much, those dark lights can't do anything to him.

Xiao Shizhu took the chips, looked left and right, and slowly walked to one of the dice tables, watched the dealer skillfully shake the dice clock, and shouted: "Come on, come on, pay five for one big and one for small!" Then he slammed the dice clock on the table and shouted, "I'm sure to leave it." ”。

As soon as the dice clock landed on the table, many people pressed chips on the large and small plates on both sides of the clock. But Xiao Shizhu didn't move for a long time, just watched silently.

After everyone placed a bet, the dealer looked at the chips in his hand and said with a smile: "Guest, don't you bet? ”。 Xiao Shizhu also smiled, and after seeing that the big one on the table was a few small chips, and the small one was dozens of chips of different sizes, he took the smallest chip, put it on the big one, and said lightly: "Open." ”。

The casino has so many people, and they have to eat every day when they open their eyes, although the odds are only one to five, but if they win too many guests, the amount is too large and the casino will not be able to bear it, and it will go out of business. Therefore, the dealers often let the small number of bettors win, and only when the number and amount of bets on both sides are about the same, the casino will let the guests experience what is the real fairness, justice and openness of life and death.

Xiao Shizhu knew this principle precisely because he saw that there were few people on the big side who didn't say anything, and the amount was not large, so he took a small chip and bet it. This method of exploiting the loopholes of the casino is the borrowing of the lamp in a thousand techniques.

Of course, in order not to let the casino see that he used the borrowing lamp technique, so as not to let the dealer bite him to death and only let him lose, Xiao Shizhu has to deliberately lose two or three games after winning a game, but no matter whether he wins or loses, he has small chips, so that the dealer feels that he is nothing more than a cautious novice, and when he wins, it is nothing more than the stupid luck of the newcomer.

From time to time, he also teased the maid who gave him fruit snacks, pretending that his mind was not on the gambling table at all, and gradually he didn't even bother to stare at him with the "dark light".

And Xiao Shizhu seems to lose more and win less on the surface, but he calculates very well, he has a detailed account of when to win and when to lose, and by the end of the first half of the night, he has already begun to turn over the book. In addition to the principal, he also earned three taels of silver, although it was not much, but in the final analysis, he also won.

He knew that he couldn't play anymore, and although the borrowing technique was good, he had to stop in moderation and accept it when he saw it. So he stepped aside and watched the others play, no matter how the dealer tricked him into placing bets, he just smiled and waved his hand.

After watching for an hour or two, when it was almost dawn, the dealer smashed the dice clock in his hand on the table, so the person immediately began to bet. When everything was ready, the dealer was about to open the dice bell, Xiao Shizhu glanced at the gambling table, only to see that because the first ten were small, the big side of the gambling table was full of people, and the small side was empty, no one bet.

Seeing this, Xiao Shizhu knew that his opportunity had come. He didn't hurry and took out a ten-tael chip and gently threw it to the small one. The look of confidence flashed in his eyes.

After the chips landed on the table, they spun a few times before stopping. The dealer was opening the dice clock at this time, and everyone at the table was dumbfounded except for Xiao Shizhu and the dealer, and many of them were rubbing their eyes vigorously.

The three dice were all one point up, and they became leopards. According to the rules of the casino, this is not only small, but the right bet is a hundred odds. It is equivalent to saying that Xiao Shizhu earned a thousand taels at this time.

In fact, Xiao Shizhu is not a fairy, he naturally does not have a perspective eye without the ability to predict, he can guess so accurately, but he is familiar with the psychology of dealers. The first ten were all small, and most of the gamblers bet big, so they were a little anxious to lose, and all of this did not escape Xiao Shizhu's eyes.

And the competitive gamblers in this game will definitely think that the previous ones are small and this time they will definitely be big, so they all bet on the big.

The dealer grasps the psychology of the gamblers, and wants to tease the gamblers at the same time, but also so that the gamblers will not be discouraged so that they can continue to gamble. So he not only wanted to open a small one, but also to open a leopard to let the gamblers see hope and cheer up.

Xiao Shizhu grasped the dealer's psychology, so he dared to take out ten taels and bet on the small one that no one bet on at all.

Under the sighs and appreciative eyes of everyone, Xiao Shizhu smiled faintly, looked around at everyone with his fists, and said, "Luck, luck." ”。

The incredible gaze flashed in the dealer's eyes, and then he hurriedly gave a look at the few "dark lights" closest to Xiao Shizhu.

After seeing that the "dark lights" all shook their heads to indicate that Xiao Shizhu was not out of the old man, the dealer also cast envious glances at him, and then frustration and chagrin appeared between his eyebrows, and his hands shook slightly.

His mistake caused the casino to lose a thousand taels, but it was not a matter of being scolded by the boss, maybe this job is difficult to protect that is a light punishment, if the boss presses the debt of this thousand taels on his head, his life will be over.

And Xiao Shizhu, who was calm on the surface but very proud in his heart, did not expect that many years later, this little dealer who was not good-looking would become his biggest trouble in the underworld.

After exchanging the chips and the casino drew 20% of the profits, Xiao Shizhu also earned nearly 800 taels. Having won so much money, and being satisfied, he knew that the casino could not stay any longer and could not come again, so he slowly walked towards the door of the casino.

When I got out of the casino, I saw that it was just dawn, and there were few ghosts on the street. Xiao Shizhu, who hadn't slept all night, stood at the door of the casino, yawned and stretched, and then went to the ghost market.

He had to find a place to eat some hot food and then find a place to get some good sleep.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked to the corner of the street, he saw that not far in front of him, under the archway at the entrance of the ghost market, more than a dozen fierce imps dressed in household clothes stood in a circle and surrounded a demon spirit in the middle.

The clothes on the backs of those little ghosts were embroidered with a big word "Chu", and they were noisy and shouting, eager to try to beat the demon spirit. And the demon spirit was on guard, staring at these little ghosts.

Xiao Shizhu fixed his eyes and saw that the demon soul was a monster wearing a hat, with a horse-like body and a human face, with tiger stripes and bird wings on its back, holding two plate axes, confronting the dozen or so little ghosts.

He recognized at a glance that the demon spirit was Yingzhao.

At this time, Xiao Shizhu, who hadn't reacted to what was happening, heard the ghost led by the dozen or so little ghosts shouting to Ying Zhao: "Damn, ask you again, this beast, do you want to kill the soul for my master?"

"No, I will never kill people indiscriminately!" Ying Zhao roared angrily, preemptively raised the axe, and in the blink of an eye, he cut a little ghost to the ground.
