Chapter 264: Casino
Wei Fei quietly pulled the little girl and glanced at her. Yue Ling looked at him a little confused, and was about to continue to ask, but Gong Yunsleeve's calm answer sounded in his ears: "There used to be a person called Liuqing, Liuliuliu, Qingqing, he used to be my lover, but later betrayed me." Fortunately, Senior Brother Qin avenged me. β
Liu Qing and the others were about to welcome Qin Yan forward, but when they heard such a secret news, they opened their mouths for a while, and they didn't dare to speak out indiscriminately. Gong Yunsleeve turned his head and said lightly: "Senior Brother Liu, I heard that you have held some interesting activities here, can you introduce them to us?"
Liu Qing hurriedly said: "We have some gadgets here that are not in the stream, and we can get Senior Brother Qin, Senior Sister Gong, Senior Brother Wei, and this and this ......."
"My name is Yue Ling. β
"Oh, and Senior Sister Yue is here, so that the little brother Peng Peng shines......"
Gong Yunsleeve interjected: "Senior Brother Liu doesn't have to be polite, our Senior Brother Qin has always disliked these red tapes, you can just say it, except for Sic Bo, Pai Gow, Fan Tan, guessing chess, fighting crickets, drawing bows, what else?"
"No more. β
"No, I heard that you have a lot of tricks here, what 'straw mat', 'straight bow', I have admired the name for a long time, why don't you get it now?"
"That...... That, I'm afraid it will stain the eyes of Senior Sister Gong and Senior Sister Yue, so let them take it down. β
Judging from Liu Qing's expression, the things that Gong Yun's sleeves read behind are not things that a woman from a good family should see. Qin Yan shook his head and said loudly: "Senior Brother Liu, let's just go around casually and leave in a while." β
"Eh!" Gong Yunsleeve stepped on him lightly and said, "Since you're here, let's have fun!"
Liu Qing smiled and bowed and said, "What Senior Sister Gong said is true." Senior Brother Qin, Senior Brother Wei, Senior Sister Yue, please come here!"
The gambling game is set up in a clearing outside the woods, separated by various pavilions, and there is a stone statue of Pixiu on each side, which is somewhat similar to the casinos in the world.
Some of the vulgar play here has been removed, but the crowd of people participating in the game has not dispersed, and they are all holding the intention of watching the excitement, standing on the periphery of the clearing in twos and threes, stretching their necks to look this way. The pavilions where gambling was being carried out were full of people, and from time to time there were loud shouts and shouts, as if they didn't care about Qin Yan's arrival.
Gong Yunsleeve frowned slightly, and said casually: "It looks quite interesting, but it's too noisy." Senior Brother Qin has always liked to be quiet, Senior Brother Liu, look at ......"
Liu Qing said: "I'll drive those idlers away immediately!"
Qin Yan said loudly at this time: "No need, I've been quiet for a long time, and I occasionally want to taste the lively feeling." β
Gong Yunchong glanced at him and said, "If you don't know good intentions, whatever you want." Then he took Yue Ling's little hand, who was looking around, and said with a smile, "Ling'er, what do you want to play?"
"That!" Yue Ling stretched out his hand and pointed, only to see a group of people in a pavilion shouting numbers such as "one" and "two" around the stone table, and there were occasional bright lights in the gaps in the crowd, which attracted the little girl's attention.
"Okay, let's play that. Gong Yunsleeve led Yue Ling and was about to walk over, Liu Qing had already taken the first step and leaned over to hand over a small red box, and said: "Senior Sister Gong and Senior Sister Yue rarely come to play once, this is a little little care from the little brother's filial piety, please smile." β
Yue Ling subconsciously wanted to reach out to pick it up, but was gently pulled by Gong Yun's sleeve. Gong Yunsleeve turned his head and squinted at Liu Qing, snorted from his nose, and said lightly: "Senior Brother Liu is worried that we don't have a gambling book? Don't worry, there is still no shortage of this little money." He shook his sleeves and walked away.
Liu Qing's face changed slightly, and he maintained a bowed posture for a few seconds before he slowly straightened up, turned his face and smiled at Qin Yan: "It was the little brother who didn't think about it and made Senior Brother Qin smile." What does Senior Brother Qin want to play?"
Qin Yan shook his head and said, "I don't play these, just walk around." Senior Brother Wei, you don't have to accompany me, go and have a good time with Senior Brother Liu!" After speaking, he walked past Liu Qing.
There were no footsteps behind him, Qin Yan nodded secretly, it seems that this Liu Qing is still very knowledgeable. Indeed, he liked quiet, and therefore did not like to spend much time in noisy places, and walked alone through the casino, into a path in the jungle, and down the hillside further west.
I hadn't gone far when I suddenly heard the sound of gurgling water. Following the sound, I found a small river. The water of the river is crystal clear and goes all the way to the west. Qin Yan followed the flow of water and walked up, and not far later, he saw a small stone bridge, erected on both sides of the river. There was also an old man in a Taoist robe on the bridge, sitting on a stone bench, pondering over a chessboard.
Qin Yan was taken aback, and instinctively felt that this old man's strength was still above him, at least he had entered the realm of Tianyuan. He expected that this was probably another hermit senior of the sect, so he didn't want to disturb his Qing Xiu, and prepared to turn around and leave.
Unexpectedly, the old man raised his head and glanced at him at this time, and his long narrow eyes revealed an astonishing divine light, which shocked his heart, and stopped the momentum of turning around halfway.
In the face of such a master, you must not leave your back to the other party. If he has malicious intentions towards himself, Young Master Ben will do it with all his might, and he may not be without a fight!
The old man stared at him for a long time, then suddenly smiled slightly, and said, "Young man, since we have a fate, you don't have to rush back and come to talk to me, how about it?"
Qin Yan shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I won't." β
The old man was stunned for a moment, and then sighed: "Nineteen ways and horizontal paths, how many people in the world are confused! Young man, with your ingenuity, it is a pity that you can't play chess." Come on, come on, I'll teach you!"
Qin Yan shook his head again: "I'm not interested." β
The old man let out a long sigh and said, "The wise can look at people from chess, and then understand life." If you don't love chess, your life will be missing, and your life will not be complete, which is a pity!"
Qin Yan smiled indifferently: "Life is like chess, there are no regrets when you fall, if you are not careful, you will lose all the games." Right?"
"Not bad!" the old man stroked his beard and looked pleased, "I didn't think you would understand these truths. β
But Qin Yan's next words quickly made his expression condense: "It's just some clichΓ©s! The opponents say that life is like chess, those who taste tea say that life is like tea, and the excellent actors say that life is like a play." What else is so picturesque and dreamlike, so many metaphors, and how many people really understand?"
The old man pondered for a moment and muttered, "Everyone has different perceptions from their own perspective, and there is no right or wrong. But I still think that only chess is the closest to the avenue, and if you learn chess with me, you will be able to gain more things!"
"Is your stuff right? Why should I trust you?"
"Just by virtue of my experience of fifty years more than you!" the old man's eyes widened, and he asked in a loud voice, "Young man, who is your master, Yan Yin or Dugu Sheng?"
