Uncle Tai Changle explained: "The gambling fight is a competition between two people, and these rich and powerful people use the victory or defeat of this competition to gamble money. ”

Dugu Ni asked, "Who are the people who participated in the competition?"

Uncle Tai Changle patiently explained: "Some of the people who participate in the competition in this kind of place are specialized in gambling and fighting, and they are called boxers. It's not that you can only use fists, you can use any kung fu and any weapon. The gambling house has its own fighters, as well as boxers brought by the guests themselves. The more you win, the more you are worth, and the more you get paid. One of Heimi's very powerful brothers often came here to fight, and I heard that he could earn twenty taels of silver for one fight, and if he won the battle, it would be increased by five to ten times. ”

Dugu Nie didn't believe his ears, and asked, "Can you earn two hundred taels by winning a game?"

Uncle Tai Changle nodded and said, "This is not too little, this time there is a very powerful fighter, I heard that he just fights, whether he wins or loses, he already has a thousand taels." ”

Dugu Nie had a bad premonition in his heart, and asked again: "These people who participate in the fight are not because of grudges, but just to make money, right?"

Uncle Tai Changle replied seriously: "It's not all, there are also some people, just to come here to improve their actual combat ability." ”

Dugu Nie thought for a while and asked, "Since winning or losing has something to do with money, will it kill people?"

Uncle Tai Changle looked at Dugu Nie and said, "This is not a life-and-death fight, if you can't beat it, you can admit defeat, if you have time." ”

Dugu Ni understood the meaning of the words, and only felt a chill in her back.

Dugu Ni felt very uncomfortable and asked, "Why did you bring me to this place?"

Uncle Changle saw Dugu Nirvana's unhappiness, "tsk", and said, "Don't shake your face, make it as if I'm sorry for you." Who is not willing to come to this place to participate in gambling fights? I brought you here so that you can see what a real fight is, and as a man, sooner or later you have to go through this, this is a good place to enrich your actual combat experience!"

Dugu Ni thought that he should enrich his actual combat experience, contact different opponents more, and understand different strengths. But his intuition told him that he should stay away from such a place, and he was also a little worried about Uncle Tai Changle.

Dugu Ni frowned and asked, "Have you participated?"

Uncle Tai said happily: "Of course I don't, my father and mother have explained, I haven't reached that time yet." However, they were the ones who supported me to come and see. My father and mother said that a manly husband has never experienced the battlefield, so he is not a man. So I'm here to see what it means to fight to the death, lest all the kung fu I learned become a fist and embroidered legs, and when I encounter a ruthless character, I can only sit and wait for death. The reason why I was able to bring you and Yu He here was because Brother Shaocong helped to say hello. ”

Dugu Nie thought about it, plucked up his courage and said, "Changle, I don't like this place, I want to go back." ”

Uncle Changle was not reluctant, so he said, "Okay, I'll send you out." ”

Walking all the way to the outside of the gambling house, Dugu Ni found a place where there was no one around, and asked Uncle Tai Changle: "Doesn't this kind of gambling fight violate the laws of the Tianwu Kingdom?"

Uncle Changle also frowned and said, "Xiao Ni, you are too simple. ”

Dugu Nirvana was puzzled and asked, "Why do you say that?

Uncle Tai Changle said solemnly: "Absolutely not, because the person who gambles also signs a life and death certificate, and the life and death fight is the rule set by the imperial court, then you say, has the life and death fight violated the law of the Tianwu Kingdom? What about gambling? Look at the large and small gambling houses, where is there any problem? It's just because of some special reasons, so I don't dare to be too ostentatious here." ”

Dugu Nirvana didn't know if this was the case, but he was still a little depressed in his heart.

Uncle Tai Changle continued: "You must not go around talking about this matter when you go out, otherwise you will definitely be targeted, and even I will be implicated." And it's useless for you to say it, although this place is remote, but the government knows about it, why don't you care? Because this is the business of the people in the rivers and lakes themselves, and there is no trouble for the common people. Those officials in the Tianwu Kingdom, I wish these people in the rivers and lakes would be killed more, what kind of bad thing is it?"

Dugu Nie listened to Uncle Changle's extreme words, and always felt that it was not like this, and said: "Isn't Tianwu Country also a country established by the people of Tianwu Sect in the rivers and lakes?"

Uncle Tai said happily: "Because of this, do you think that the royal family of the Tianwu Kingdom is not afraid of repeating the mistakes of the past?"

Dugu Ni thought for a while, and then asked, "Then why are you here? Even if the government can't manage it, you can not get involved." ”

Uncle Tai Changle saw that the six gods of Dugu Nirvana had no master, and said patiently: "Didn't you say it, enrich the experience of fighting, see more about the means of deciding the difference between life and death, and be wary of yourself in the future." Speaking of this, Uncle Tai Changle looked around again to make sure that there was no one, and then whispered, "I'll tell you another secret." ”

Hearing the word "secret", Dugu Nie suddenly remembered what Li Xiao had said at this moment - staying away from secrets is also a kind of wisdom.

Dugu Ni said: "Forget it, if it's about the secret of this gambling fight, you don't need to tell me, I don't want to get involved." ”

Uncle Tai Changle buried his head and said, "Hey, is that my mistake? Brother, don't take it to heart." You don't like to come to this place, so I won't bring you here in the future, okay?"

Dugu Nie saw that Uncle Changle apologized, but he was still a little soft-hearted and nodded.

Uncle Tai Changle said earnestly: "Don't be unhappy, one day you will understand, this is the rivers and lakes, people in the rivers and lakes, and they can't help themselves." Life and death are not things that you can hide if you want to, if you don't kill people, there are people who want to kill you. Don't be fooled by the things that the masters of the academy are talking about, those ethereal things sound good, but that's not the truth of the world now. ”

Dugu Nirvana said firmly: "That's not ethereal. ”

Uncle Tai Changle also ignored it, and said: "Today is the eighteenth year of the founding of the Tianwu Kingdom, but do you know what the rivers and lakes were like eighteen years ago? Do you think that in such a short period of time, the world will really be peaceful? That is just a whitewash of the Tianwu Kingdom! I am telling you this, not to fight with you for anything, but not to want you to have such a simple view of the world, and I don't know how you will die in the future!"

Dugu Ni was upset, and he really didn't understand these things, so he said: "I'll go back first, by the way, Heimi just took us into the gambling house to fight martial arts, did it cost money?"

Uncle Tai said happily: "Why are you asking this?"

Dugu Nie was a little anxious and asked, "You tell me!"

Uncle Tai Changle frowned and said, "Brother Heimi spent, one or two pieces of silver per person, but you don't have to mind, all the money spent by Heimi was given by Brother Shaocong." My father and mother have explained that I can continue Brother Shaocong's favor, and they know it in their hearts and will not treat Brother Shaocong badly. ”

Dugu Ni gritted his teeth, took out the money bag, took out a bunch of money from it, handed it to Uncle Changle, and said: "I originally wanted to return the black rice, since this is the case, it is equivalent to the one or two silver you spent for me, this is the money I earned as a letter guest, pay you back." ”

Uncle Tai Changle's face was a little ugly, and he said, "No." ”

Dugu Ni was extremely resolute, and said: "Take it, don't hide it from me if you have anything in the future, especially when it comes to spending money." ”

Uncle Tai Changle asked coldly, "Do you want to be so clear between brothers?"

Dugu Ni said without hesitation: "Yes." ”

Uncle Changle had a black face, took Dugu Nie's money, and threw it into the sky, and the 1,000 coins fell to the ground like rain.

Dugu Nie's face was full of anger, and he pointed at Uncle Tai Changle and said, "You ......" but he didn't know what to say.

Uncle Changle also said in a firm tone: "Being a brother is not a business, I took this money, and what to do with it is my business." Spending money for you is affection, and you have to repay it with affection, not with money. ”

Dugu Ni didn't pick it up, turned around gloomily, and said: "The Tao is not the same, we brothers, we can't do it." ”

Uncle Taile was stunned for a moment, and then said hatefully: "Okay, if you can't do it, you can't do it!"

After speaking, he walked directly to the gambling hall without looking back

Dugu Ni calmed down, and asked himself in his heart as he walked, is it really wrong for Uncle Changle to take him to watch the gambling fight?

Gambling is a real thing, and it doesn't seem to have existed for a day or two, and the form of gambling is similar to life and death fighting, except that the spectators will use this thing to make money.

Thinking of this, Dugu Nie questioned himself a little, is it really that he is too stubborn?

On second thought, even if there is nothing wrong with gambling and fighting, at least you can choose not to like it or not to mix it, which is always fine. Although it can be seen that Uncle Tai Changle is trying to convince himself, after all, he didn't force it, so he shouldn't be angry with him, after all, his starting point is also for his own good.

Dugu Ni asked himself, the reason why he said that he couldn't be a brother with Uncle Tai Changle was because of Uncle Tai Changle's attitude towards the thousand dollars. But in fact, Dugu Nirvana is not sure whether he is right or wrong.

Could it be that he broke off relations with Uncle Taile because of one or two pieces of silver?

Dugu Nie suddenly smiled self-deprecatingly, remembering the definition of friends that he had just talked about with Fang Wutong, he was still a little relieved, at least, he no longer blamed himself.

Maybe Uncle Tai Changle is not wrong, but whether it is his views on the rivers and lakes, or his attitude towards money, he really did not let himself appreciate it, maybe the previous relationship with Uncle Tai Changle is indeed worth cherishing, but that is already in the past after all.

After Dugu Nie thought clearly, he ran all the way home, and when he got home, he told Bai Ming, and he wanted to come back around the beginning of school in the future, learn more and practice more things, so that Bai Ming didn't have to worry.

Bai Ming didn't ask much, so he agreed, Dugu Nirvana comforted himself in his heart, being a believer is also to learn more and practice things, not to lie.

Bai Ming said that Wang Xiao and Jing Hu had come to Dugu Nirvana before, and before Dugu Nirvana went home today, the two came to Dugu Nirvana again. Therefore, after Dugu Ni ate, he also went to find Wang Xiao and Jing Hu.

The three of them talked together, and there was nothing particularly interesting to play. Dugu Ni suddenly felt that he had lost any interest in "playing", and it didn't take long for him to go home.
