Volume 1 The Order of a Thousand Doors Chapter 16 The Gamble (1)
Lishui Mansion is not inferior to the prosperity and liveliness of Jiqing Mansion, but it is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the people are simple, although it is not as businessmen as Jiqing Mansion gathers, but it is a good residence for cultivating the mind.
The full name of the knife master is Hu Yidao, and the people in the rivers and lakes call him 'the knife master', and he has a great reputation in Jiqing Eighteen Road, and he told Lu Tiandi about his deeds all the way, completely ignoring whether Lu Tiandi can listen to it or not. In the area of Jiangning County, their Hu family is famous for their excellent knife skills, and their ancestors studied knife techniques and created their own 'knife eighteen'.
These eighteen tricks are exquisite, and the dragon and phoenix dance described by Hu Yidao and the saliva fly sideways, as if the martial arts in the rivers and lakes are the first in the world with his Hu family's knife technique. However, Lu Tiandi also noticed that Hu Yidao was not only light, but also accurate knife skills, he believed that the big man in front of him was a rare martial arts master in the rivers and lakes, and Lu Tiandi began his own wishful thinking.
When the two of them came to the crowded Lishui Mansion, it was already the time of Shen, and Xu Wenwen's arrest notice was also posted at the bulletin office at the city gate, but Lu Tiandi was dressed as a farmer and no one noticed. However, Hu Yidao, dressed in a tiger fur coat, carried a snow-bright knife on his shoulder, and when others saw his rough and brave appearance and the shocking scar on his face, they deliberately dodged, for fear of getting into trouble.
Hu Yidao took Lu Tiandi to the door of a gambling house with a familiar road, the sign of the gambling house said 'Four Seas Casino', it seems that he has come to this place to gamble money; at this time, Lu Tiandi noticed a few begging people on the side of the street called Huazi, so he asked Hu Yidao: "Can you lend me some silver?"
Hu Yidao was puzzled and asked, "I haven't gone in to gamble yet, what do you want silver for?"
"Before anyone teaches you to gamble, you have to spend all your money. Although we don't have a thousand dollars, we still have to send some money out, so that good luck will come to the door by itself. Lu Tiandi said seriously.
Hu Yidao touched his head, he gambled for so long, and he had never heard such a statement, but after hearing what the other party said, he took out the money bag in disbelief, and before he could count it, he was snatched away by Lu Tiandi A silver tael, and walked to a beggar without saying anything; 。
At this end, Lu Tiandi and the beggar whispered, he took out a silver tael and handed it to the other party, and said softly: "The important criminal Xu Wenshu arrested by the government is in this gambling house, you take this bit of silver, go to the government to report it immediately, and then 100,000 taels of silver are at your fingertips, so as not to make you suffer from begging." ”
When Lu Tiandi finished speaking, his shoulder and neck were grabbed by Hu Yidao, and he screamed in pain, Hu Yidao asked rigorously: "What are you whispering to a person named Huazi? Stinky boy, don't play any tricks with Lao Tzu!"
"I'm right under the nose of the knife master, what tricks can I play. I just told him to reward him with ten taels of silver, which is called scattering wealth and gathering luck, and if he is still there when we come out later, I will reward him ten times as much as the money he has now. What's more, the sword master actually chose to believe that he shouldn't care about just ten taels of silver. Lu Tiandi said disapprerovingly.
When Hu Yidao heard this, he couldn't help laughing, the force in his hand was not small, and he said: "Master Dao, I began to like your arrogant tone a little, but Zhenzhang will know when he goes in to play." If you lie to me, Lao Tzu's big knife will open the meat today, break your belly and take out your intestines and feed it to the dogs!"
"If you don't let the sword master make a lot of money, I'm afraid that my life will not be guaranteed. ”
"It's useless to talk too much, let's go!" Hu Yidao gradually became a little excited, and said as he pulled Lu Tiandi into the gambling house.
In front of the gambling house, he saw a regular customer coming to the door, and grinned and said: "Ouch, the knife master is here again, can you bring enough silver taels today, don't even lose the wine money in a while." ”
Hu Yidao scolded disapprenosingly: "You dog-legged, I don't expect the master to have a good fortune." Today, Uncle Ben has the God of Wealth to protect his body, and he will kill all directions!"
Glancing at Lu Tiandi, who was dressed as a farmer, he secretly thought that the God of Wealth in Hu Yidao's mouth was estimated to be the person in front of him, but this person was not outstanding, it was simply mediocre, and he was happy that these two fools came to deliver money, but he said inconsistently: "Then it is as the knife master wishes, please inside." ”
The whole Sihai Gambling House is divided into two floors, the first floor hall is mainly for playing dice, and the second floor is mainly for drawing lots and Tianjiu. Hu Yidao knows very well the gameplay of this gambling house, he is a well-known 'moldy god' here, nine out of ten bets and nine losses, no wonder Fang Cai's eye in front of the door will make such fun of him, Hu Yidao introduced to Lu Tiandi with great interest, and asked him what he is best at.
Lu Tiandi carefully observed the surroundings, the noise in the field continued, and a group of gamblers surrounded the gambling table in twos and threes, and the fierce battle was in full swing. There are very few people in a third-rate private gambling house like this, because there are many eye-catching patrols in the venue. On the one hand, it explains the techniques and applications of the thousands, and on the other hand, it also expounds the profound meaning of taking gambling as a game and taking a thousand as wisdom. It can be said that gambling is the most basic law of entry in the thousand doors, and people in the thousand doors can use it as a kind of business to make a living, but when they really understand the other side of the meaning of "out of the thousand", they will set up a game with the mentality of a gambler, and the wisdom of this aspect of the thousand doors can be applied to anything, including power.
Lu Tiandi learned a lot of introductory techniques and rules in the Thousand Doors Secret Classics, such as the famous Thousand Doors Eight Generals, these eight generals can be regarded as punching eyes, these punches are used in the gambling house, they have a fine division of labor, each layer has its own internal affairs, and the gambling game is interlocking, such as the general, the general, the anti-general, the general, the wind general, the fire general, the removal general, the rumor, a total of a thousand doors and eight generals.
Zhengjiang: that is, to start with a thousand skills to make a living, that is, the host of the beginning.
Ti General: The pond crane in the gambling stall is responsible for persuading people to enter the game.
Counter-general: Use the negative method or the agitation method to lure people into the game.
Take off the general: be a gang of people to help people escape and walk.
Wind General: Specialized in collecting wind or intelligence, that is, looking at the wind, inspecting the environment.
Commander: Responsible for the use of force, i.e. thugs and killers.
Except for the general: responsible for the number of talks, as well as the aftermath of the dismissal.
Rumors: Spread rumors to lure the deceived into believing that they are panicking.
Lu Tiandi noticed that although this gambling house was not magnificent, there were many eyes in the four corners of the south, east, west, and northwest to pay attention to the behavior of every gambler, so as to prevent outsiders from coming in to stir up the situation. Although Lu Tiandi is familiar with the key techniques of the Thousand Secret Classics, it is still the first actual combat experience, and he decided to use the most moderate method in the Thousand Secret Classics to win the prize, that is, 'cooking rabbits and killing sheep'.
