Chapter 21: The Rest of the Urn (I)
Without waiting for Guo Xingnan to speak, the man spoke first and said to Guo Xingnan: "You are the boss of this Tianmen gambling game?" Guo Xingnan nodded. The man continued, "I want to win money." Guo Xingnan smiled and said: "The people who come to me don't want to lose money." But it's up to you to see if you can make me lose money. ”
Guo Xingnan saw that this person was definitely a third-rate character, so he randomly called a little second who threw dice and asked him to play a few games with this big-eyed brother, and the brother Zhou touched it up and down: "I didn't bring any silver." Guo Xingnan looked at the innocent appearance of this benevolent brother, and said with a wry smile: "What are you doing without silver?" Brother Ren said, "What should I do with you if I have money?" Guo Xingnan was a little stunned in one sentence, and then listened to the man: "If you have the guts, borrow fifty taels of silver, and you will be repaid when I win." ”
Guo Xingnan and the little second who threw the dice almost cried when they heard this, Guo Xingnan asked the big-eyed brother with a bitter face: "There is such a thing in the world." ”
"Master has always been like this!" The big-eyed brother spoke even more unscrupulously. Guo Xingnan asked angrily: "I don't know what kind of age this benevolent brother is, but he actually calls himself a master in front of me." The big-eyed brother proudly pointed to his chest and said, "The master has always called himself like this. ”
"Presumptuous!" Without waiting for Guoxingnan to get angry, Xiao Er, who threw the dice, had already patted the case and shouted: "Open your mouth and close your mouth and call yourself the master in front of my master." I must have been impatient with life. "Cut out his tongue!" Guoxingnan said coldly.
As soon as these words came out, two big men who came over early in the morning pressed the big-eyed brother to the ground like a snatcher. Break open its mouth and pull out its knife, that is, cut off its tongue with your hands. The big eyes were so frightened that they shouted repeatedly: "Let's move slowly, and change it in the next step." "Guoxing Nanning is willing to flow a river of blood outside, and does not want to let the gambling game be stained with a little blood, when the big thing is not completed, can not let any small difference in the pool, affect the reputation of Tianmen Gambling Bureau, in order to ruin the future of the country.
So Guoxingnan ordered people to let go of Brother Na Big-eyed. Big eyes shook his clothes, and he whispered, "Why take it so seriously? Saying that, he sat down in his chair and said, "No kidding, now you can gamble." Guoxing Nandao: "You are penniless, how can I bet with you?" The big eyes said impatiently: "In the next word, brother Tai will lend me fifty taels of silver first, and I will pay you back after I win." ”
Guo Xingnan was already arrogant today, and when he saw this big-eyed fool, he was even more angry in his heart, but he still temporarily suppressed his anger, and said: "The huge Tianmen gambling game, if there are people like Your Excellency who come to make trouble unreasonably every day and spread it, what kind of face does someone in my country have to gain a foothold in the rivers and lakes?" Don't the people of the rivers and lakes shamefully laugh at our country's Xingnan as a cowardly and incompetent person? "Someone! Throw this big-eyed thief out of here! Guo Xingnan then ordered.
When the 'big eyes' saw that they were about to be coaxed away, they hurriedly said: "Let's do it slowly!" If you don't borrow it, why be angry? Leave on your own. The big eyes continued, "But there is a word to tell you when you are leaving." ”
"What else do you have to say?" asked Guo Xingnan.
Big eyes said: "Although I am penniless, but I have been involved in the gambling world so far, I can say that I have won all over the world invincible, and I have no defeats, I wonder if the shopkeeper can let the little brother try his skills?" ”
Guo Xingnan asked contemptuously: "Win all the invincible opponents in the world, how come I have never seen such a master, let alone heard of Your Excellency's name, I don't know who the disciple is, and who is the surname?" ”
The big eyes heard the inquiry and said proudly: "Yang Yu, a disciple of the Lower Nature Sect, is also!" ”
It turned out that this person was really Yang Yu, a disciple who was difficult to save in the natural door.
That day, Yan Zhen disturbed Pioneer Mountain, and Yang Yu almost wanted to die. happened to be met by Li Yuankai, the head of the Tianshui Sect, and Shi Lu, the beggar gang, and the two discussed, and Li Yuankai came to attract Yan Zhen's attention and took him to meet Yanyue Dao Luyun. And Shi Lu is responsible for rescuing Yang Yu. After Yang Yu was rescued by Shi Lu and returned to the beggar gang, Shi Lu asked a famous doctor to carefully treat Yang Yu's injuries. Treat them with courtesy.
It's a pity that the Flame Demon Sword Wound can't be cured immediately by secular doctors, and more importantly, Yang Yu's skill is weak and he can't withstand the flame true qi. So it took nearly a year, Yang Yufang recovered as before, seeing that the injuries on his body were no longer serious, Yang Yu's heart was more concerned about the natural door, and he said goodbye to the beggars and helped the brothers at the end of the day.
When parting, the Shi Gang Master instructed the beggar disciples to take good care of Yang Yu wherever they saw him, as if he was helping himself. Yang Yu was also given a token, and he could summon the beggar gang disciples anytime and anywhere. Yang Yu is grateful. The beggars and disciples are even more disobedient.
Although Yang Yu heard about the collapse of the natural gate, he still remembered the old feelings, and still returned to the natural gate to watch like the moon. It's a pity that the warmth has long been blown away by the frightening wind. The murderous aura of the Golden Fire Hall had already covered everything in the Natural Gate. Where can I find the shadow of the natural gate?
Yang Yu's eyes were full of sadness, and he didn't know where to go, so he first came to the Natural Gate Cemetery to worship and express his sadness in his heart. There is a word to record the scene of the cemetery at that time:
The wilderness is vast, where is the desolation? The sky is thousands of miles away, and the sunset is what to say?
Who relieves the heartache and who wipes the face and slanders? Dongfeng is speechless and self-growing, may you be safe.
After the worship, I still don't know where to go. When I looked down and pondered, I suddenly saw a slight gray stain on the cemetery. Ben Xi is that someone from the natural gate came to sacrifice, but he never thought that it was the moon that had fallen off the cliff. Then he taught the beggars to help the disciples to inquire around, and unexpectedly found out Yuerong's whereabouts, and learned that Yuerong was now in Hangzhou. Yang Yu was pleasantly surprised when he heard the news, so he rushed all the way to Hangzhou. It happened that the money was spent on the road, and I passed by the Tianmen gambling game, and wanted to gamble on two to solve the urgent need.
Guo Xingnan heard that Yang Yuyan was a disciple of the Natural Sect, so he asked: "It is incredible that such a noble martial arts sect as the Natural Sect should hand over such a first-class gambler as you." ”
Yang Yu said: "Gambling is a skill that Yang learned to make a living before he got started. The master of my family taught me the sword technique of Fengyun and taught me the way of life. ”
Guo Xingnan looked at Yang Yu and talked about the natural door, but his heart was surging and impassioned. I don't think I want to see what he is capable of? So he said: "Since Your Excellency claims that your gambling skills are invincible in the world, Guo wants to open his eyes." Pointing to the dice thrown by Guan Canghai on the wall, he said to Yang Yu: "There was nothing on the wall, why did you miraculously have two more dice after rolling a dice?" ”
Yang Yu came to the wall to take a closer look, touched the two dices on the side with his two fingers, and inserted the two fingers into the wall with the dice, and the depth actually dropped both fingers. Yang Yu looked at the dice in the middle of the two dice again, but it was firmly embedded in the surface of the wall, pushing it with his fingers. Yang Yu looked at it and grinned: "Admire, admire!" ”
Guo Xingnan asked, "Can Brother Yang see the clue in this?" ”
Yang Yu said: "The two dice have already been embedded in the depths of the wall in advance, and when they roll another dice, the two dice next to them appear on the wall at the same time under the impact of the dice and the wall, which is a miracle of one throw." It's a pity that the dice thrower has superb skills, and tries his best to get it just right, otherwise one more strength or one less strength will reveal flaws. ”
Guo Xingnan couldn't help but smile coldly when he heard Yang Yu's interpretation, and said to himself: "Admire!" Then he said to Yang Yu: "In this way, I will lend you a few taels of silver, and let the little brother play here for a while." Yang Yu touched the sleeves of his shirt, there were actually two taels of silver hidden in it, Yang Yu said: "Don't borrow from Brother Laoguo, these two taels of silver on my own body are enough, borrow your money in exchange, my own money has won the gamble, and you have nothing to do with half the money, so I don't have to owe you favors." ”
So Yang Yu sat at the gambling table in a big way, and began to teach gambling skills with the second child of the gambling game. The two of them are still betting on the size of dice as Guan Canghai did before. What is amazing is that Yang Yu will win every pressure, and every time before pressing money, Yang Yu can guess the points of the dice at all, as if he can see through the color basin. In this way, there are only a dozen handfuls, and Yang Yu has already won thousands of taels of silver in the Tianmen gambling game with two taels of silver in his hand, and a lot of silver tickets are in Yang Yu's hands.
Xiao Er, who threw the dice, was dumbfounded. It turned out that what Yang Yu said just now was not exaggerated or false. At first, when he was a street gangster, he developed an amazing gambling skill, and he could distinguish dice points with both ears alone, and he was sure to win every time he gambled. It's just that Yang Yu is by no means a greedy person for money and good things, and every time he wins, he is good enough to spend two silver, and he is not attached to it for a long time.
Guoxingnan saw that Yang Yu had won a lot of silver taels in the blink of an eye, and he had the intention of leaving, so he stepped forward to gamble with Yang Yu. Guoxingnan shook the color basin and asked Yang Yu to guess the points, Yang Yu shook his head and smiled: "Zero." Guo Xingnan smiled softly and said, "How can there be such a thing?" Yang Yu said: "Is it man-made? ”
When Guoxingnan opened the color basin, he saw that there was not a single die in the color basin. Guo Xingnan asked Yang Yu, "How can this be?" Yang Yu laughed and said, "Brother Tai can't cover me, you stole a dice before shaking the color pot." You will steal from me, and when you opened the basin, I stole two. Otherwise, you can use internal force to control the dice points, how can I win you? ”
After speaking, Yang Yu smiled disdainfully, and slowly pulled out an extremely slender metal wire from the corner of his mouth, which was difficult to find without paying attention. Yang Yu took the wire and fiddled in front of Guo Xingnan and said, "I stole it with this thing, and I can steal it quietly while sitting on a chair." Yang Yu then explained to Guo Xingnan: "Although magic cannot be used for martial arts, it is very useful as a gambling technique. Saying that, Yang Yu stretched out his left hand to show Guo Xingnan, the two dices were in the palm of his hand, when he grabbed his hand and stretched it out again, the two dices disappeared, but appeared in the palm of his right hand.
Yang Yu said proudly to Guoxingnan: "Learn, brother, I'll go first!" As he spoke, he waved his right hand casually, and the two dice flew into the two color holes cast by Guan Canghai in the first place, and they were still two six. When he came to the door, Yang Yu grimaced at Guo Xingnan, and then jumped away.
Guo Xingnan looked at Yang Yu leaving with a disgraced face, and sighed: "This big-eyed thief's gambling skills are even better than that man in white. If he is allowed to stay in Hangzhou City for a long time, sooner or later, my Tianmen Gambling will be closed. Xiao Er said on the side: "My subordinates understand what the master means." Guoxingnan said fiercely: "You have to snatch the silver ticket back cleanly, and let the Yangyu disappear without a trace in Hangzhou City!" Xiao Er was ordered to take a few people out.
It was already dusk, Guo Xingnan called another subordinate and said, "Prepare a fast horse for me, I want to go to the Chai Wangfu." "My men were ordered to go down and prepare. Guo Xingnan returned to his house and changed into a set of casual clothes and prepared to go out.
At this time, seeing Yang Yu running into the gambling game panting with two roast chicken legs in his hands, Guo Xingnan was colliding with him in the courtyard.
