"Where is Senior Brother?"
Back at the independent courtyard where he lived, Chu Xiu was still thinking about this issue.
When he saw the golden coffin that had become as thin as a cicada's wings, he suddenly felt that the most urgent task might not be to find the senior brother, but to deal with the family thief first.
Senior Sister of Tianzong, Su Yuheng.
Chu Xiu came to Ankangfang in the east city of Chang'an City, where there was a Ruyi Gambling House.
In the evening, the gambling house was very lively.
Many gamblers are crazy about gambling.
Chu Xiu caught a glimpse of Su Yuheng wearing a black raincoat and a bamboo hat on his head.
The black raincoat was very wide, but it still couldn't completely cover up Su Yuheng's proud figure.
"If you don't gamble, this woman's temperament is much more attractive than that of a charming wife." Chu Xiu muttered to himself and quietly came behind Su Yuheng.
In fact, he was very curious about how a master in the Netherland could lose so much in a gambling house.
You must know that after practicing, as the strength increases, the hearing and eyesight will be greatly improved; at the same time, the Tongyou Realm can perceive the power of heaven and earth, and even use it.
It can be said that as long as Su Yuheng wants to, she can control the number of dice or the size of the cards without having to guess at all.
Just like when Chu Xiu, Meng Xiaochuan, and Huitong traveled together for eight thousand miles, the three of them often played in the gambling house and basically never lost.
At this moment, Su Yuheng was betting on Pai Gow.
Before the cards were revealed, a strange look flashed in Chu Xiu's eyes.
He was sure that none of the three opposing families had any cheats, but Su Yuheng, a master of the Tongyou Realm, got the smallest cards.
After watching six games in a row, Chu Xiu raised his eyebrows slightly.
In the six rounds, the biggest card Su Yuheng got was only the second one.
Didn't win a game!
"Strange." Chu Xiu touched his chin, then patted Su Yuheng on the shoulder, "Get up, let me try."
"Get lost." Su Yuheng, who was about to lose his temper, cursed angrily and subconsciously.
"Huh?" Chu Xiu narrowed his eyes slightly.
The next moment, Su Yuheng felt as if her whole body had fallen into an ice cave. She realized something was wrong, turned around stiffly, and saw Chu Xiu's handsome face with a slight sneer.
Su Yuheng's heart trembled wildly, and a forced smile appeared on his face.
"Come here." She immediately stood up and offered her seat.
Chu Xiu hummed softly, sat at the gambling table, looked at the three gamblers around him, and said with a smile: "How about I play a game?"
"Why do I feel you are a bit familiar?" the old gambler sitting opposite Chu Xiu muttered.
"As long as you have money, it doesn't matter who you are." The gambler on the right said nonchalantly while pushing Pai Gow.
The gambler on the left lowered his head with cold sweat on his forehead.
He recognized Chu Xiu early on.
The four of them pushed and shuffled the cards together, and after a while, each grabbed a deck of cards.
Chu Xiu didn't deliberately control it, he had the biggest card.
Winning money is always enjoyable.
The three losing parties, except for the gambler opposite who didn't recognize Chu Xiu, looked unhappy, while the other two breathed a sigh of relief.
Many gamblers around recognized Chu Xiu. They didn't dare to get close. They just kept looking here, curious in their hearts. Mr. Thirteen, who can be called the top of the Nineteen States, Why did you come to the gambling house?
"Continue." Chu Xiu smiled.
"Okay, okay." The gamblers on the left and right quickly apologized.
The gambler sitting opposite Chu Xiu looked a little ugly. He felt that Chu Xiu's arrival had ruined his luck.
Before this, he had been winning, while the opposite man had been losing.
"From now on, you can't bet with people who are halfway to the table." The gambler thought to himself.
Chu Xiu bet six times on this gambling table and won all six times.
The gambler opposite quit and glared at Chu Xiu fiercely. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught the glare from the boss of the gambling house. The gambler's heart skipped a beat, he snorted, said nothing, and left with a sullen face.
Chu Xiu smiled and ignored the gambler. He turned to look at Su Yuheng, raised his eyebrows and said, "Do you think it's strange?"
"What?" Su Yuheng said in a muffled voice. She felt that Chu Xiu had blocked her luck, thinking that if she had continued gambling just now, she would be the one who won six consecutive games.
Chu Xiu muttered: "You sit here and keep losing; after I came, I kept winning."
"If I had continued just now, I might have won." Su Yuheng said with a smile.
Some people around had strange looks in their eyes.
They recognized Su Yuheng and knew he was an old gambler.
There are even people who are waiting for Su Yuheng every day. Once Su Yuheng buys big or small, those people will buy in the opposite direction; they may not always win, but in the end, they will definitely win money.
"Really? Come on then." Chu Xiu stood up and returned his seat to Su Yuheng.
Su Yuheng's heart beat a little faster, he was a little excited and a little nervous, "Are you sure?"
"I'm doing an experiment, you can continue." Chu Xiu smiled.
"Then I won't be polite." Su Yuheng smiled, sat in front of the gambling table, and greeted the people around him, "Here comes another person."
For a moment, everyone around looked at each other, and then they all looked at Chu Xiu.
After this short period of discovery, everyone in the gambling house basically knew Chu Xiu's identity.
In the eyes of ordinary people, there is actually no difference between the thirteenth gentleman of Zhuque Academy and the gods in heaven.
Even the powerful boss of the gambling house didn't even have a chance to bow down in front of Chu Xiu.
"Boss, you play a bet with her." Chu Xiu looked back at the gambling shop owner and directly ordered.
"Great." The big boss of the gambling house broke his voice with excitement. He quickly trotted to the gambling table. He first bowed to Chu Xiu and then sat down at the gambling table.
"Just bet normally. No concessions are allowed, and no cheating is allowed." Chu Xiu said with a smile.
"Okay, okay." The four gamblers at the gambling table, including Su Yuheng, nodded quickly.
After a while.
Su Yuheng's beautiful cheeks twitched slightly.
She lost again.
"Continue." Chu Xiu ordered.
"Oh." Su Yuheng took a deep breath. She didn't believe it. Could her luck continue to be so bad?
After losing two more games in a row, Su Yuheng felt really unbearable.
"Let me do it." Chu Xiu patted Su Yuheng on the shoulder.
Su Yuheng stood up silently with a sullen face.
Chu Xiu took his seat, and the other three gamblers became obviously nervous.
"Just bet normally."
Chu Xiu’s voice was gentle.
"Okay, okay." The other three gamblers nodded quickly.
Everyone pushes and shuffles the cards together.
Not a moment.
Chu Xiu won the first game, the second game, and the third game.
Su Yuheng's delicate brows knitted together, feeling extremely depressed.
"Let's go." Chu Xiu stood up, grabbed Su Yuheng's wrist and walked away.
Su Yuheng's eyelids jumped and his heart became anxious.
Only then did she remember that Mr. Thirteen was here to catch her.
"He should have seen the golden coffin." Su Yuheng felt guilty. The originally thick golden coffin was dug and dug until it was as thin as a cicada's wings.
After leaving the gambling house and standing on the street, Chu Xiu let go of Su Yuheng's hand and ordered: "Close your eyes, walk around in circles a hundred times, and then guess my direction."
"Ah?" Su Yuheng was a little confused for a moment.
"Don't you understand?" Chu Xiu raised his eyebrows slightly.
Su Yuheng's face straightened up, and he nodded immediately and said, "I understand."
After saying that, she closed her eyes and spun around in circles.
"After turning a hundred times, if you feel which direction I am in, just reach out and point." After another instruction, Chu Xiu retreated silently.
"What are you doing?" Su Yuheng, who was spinning in circles, was a little confused and had no idea what Chu Xiu was doing.
As the contemporary senior sister of Tianzong, although Su Yuheng's talent is not the highest, if she can join Tianzong, how can her talent be any worse?
Now that her strength has reached the late stage of Tongyou Realm, it is basically impossible for her to faint, let alone a hundred turns, even if she turns a thousand or even ten thousand turns.
"Just point in any direction, right?" Su Yuheng thought silently. She first sensed her surroundings, but failed to sense Chu Xiu's presence, so she casually pointed to the east.
"Wrong." Chu Xiu appeared from three hundred feet away to the west of Su Yuheng.
Su Yuheng curled his lips.
"Twice again and guess again." Chu Xiu ordered.
Su Yuheng's face twitched slightly and she closed her eyes. Facing Mr. Thirteen, she didn't dare to resist at all, especially since she had stolen this man's golden coffin, and she felt very guilty.
After another hundred turns, Su Yuheng pointed north.
"Wrong, try again." Chu Xiu's long voice came over.
Su Yuheng frowned slightly, snorted secretly, and continued to circle obediently.
"Wrong, try again."
"Wrong, try again."
"Wrong, try again."
After spinning nine hundred times in a row, Su Yuheng couldn't stand it anymore. She glared at Chu Xiu and said in a low voice: "Even if I steal your gold, there is no need for you to torture me like this!"
Chu Xiu grinned, and in a flash, he came to Su Yuheng, "Go back and give you a chicken leg to eat."
Su Yuheng was stunned, then his pretty face turned red, he lowered his head and said nothing.
She felt that the gaze of Mr. Thirteen was a little hot, which made her heart beat a lot faster, which had been idle for a long time.
Returning to the back hill of Zhuque Academy, Chu Xiu directly found the eighth senior brother Qi Yi.
"I seem to know how to find Senior Brother." Chu Xiu looked at the slightly confused Eighth Senior Brother lying on the bed, "This is the method, it's a bit metaphysical, I'm not sure, I want you to help me get involved."
Qi Yi Leng said quietly: "Can't you wait until tomorrow?"
Chu Xiu blinked, "It's not even midnight yet, why are you going to bed so early?"
Qi Yi was speechless and helpless at the same time.
"Tell me about it."
"The metaphysics I'm talking about is reflected in Su Yuheng's luck..." Chu Xiu pondered for a moment, then began to talk about what he discovered at the gambling house in the evening and the experiments he did outside the gambling house.
Qi Yi, who was still a little helpless, gradually raised his eyebrows and became interested.
"Are you trying to take advantage of her bad luck and choose the opposite direction to find the senior brother?" Qi Yixiao asked.
"Is there any chance of success?" Chu Xiu asked.
Qi Yi pondered and said: "When it comes to luck, it is indeed very mysterious. Even the attitude of the master is the same as that of the Confucian sage. He does not talk about strange power and chaos."
"I want to try." Chu Xiu said softly.
"Okay." Qi Yi nodded, "However, once or twice, it is accidental."
"So I came to see my senior brother, hoping that he could help me build something similar to a compass." Chu Xiu looked at Qi Yi, "I asked Su Yuheng to turn the compass. The opposite direction the compass points to is the direction I want to go. .”
"A compass?" Qi Yi's eyes flashed, he thought about it silently for a long time, and then said, "I can use the sixty-four hexagrams of Tai Chi to get you a special compass with more accurate directions."
"Then I'll trouble you, senior brother." Chu Xiu said with a smile.
Qi Yi said: "You'd better ask first if her luck has always been bad. In addition, the direction is different from the gambling game. The gambling game may only have winning or losing, but the direction is not just in the opposite direction."
Chu Xiu understood what the eighth senior brother meant and said softly: "Actually, I don't have much hope. My plan is to check in Suzaku Academy first. If the whereabouts of senior brother cannot be found, then try this method. Look for it, and you can also do some research along the way.”
"You just need a way to find Senior Brother." Qi Yi said with a smile, "It doesn't matter whether this method can find Senior Brother or not."
Chu Xiu also smiled and said: "If senior brother knows that we are looking for him, I believe he will show up."
"..."
The two exchanged some more words, and Chu Xiu returned to his small courtyard.
In fact, he knew that he had some illness and urgently sought medical treatment.
"Perhaps, I just want to find a reason to travel around the world again." Chu Xiu was lying on the bed, thinking silently.
The night gets darker.
Above Zhonghuang Mountain.
The human figurines of Emperor Wu are standing in the air, looking towards the direction of Chang'an City.
Behind him is the contemporary eunuch Xu Nuo.
"Do you think a person's luck will always be bad?" asked the Wuhuang Terracotta Warriors.
Xu Nuo was startled and said hesitantly: "There should be a good time."
"Transportation..." Wu Huang's human figurine whispered, "There are many things in this world that cannot be explained clearly.
When you are unsure about something, relying on luck may work wonders. "
Xu Nuo said: "I boldly believe that it is better to rely on luck than on strength."
The Martial Emperor human figure nodded, "You are right. If he is strong enough, he may be able to know the whereabouts of that big gentleman without having to look for him."
"Mr. Big?" Xu Nuo was startled, and then realized that the 'he' in Emperor Wu's mouth should be referring to the Thirteenth Mister Chu Xiu.
"But when the strength is not enough, relying on luck may be the only way." The Wuhuang figurine added.
Xu Nuo glanced at the back of Emperor Wu's figurines and said, "Your Majesty, do you think Mr. Thirteen is very lucky?"
The Wuhuang Terracotta Warriors stared at Chang'an City for a while and said, "If there is someone around you who has very bad luck, would you say your luck is good or bad?"
Xu Nuo thought for a while and hesitated: "If I stay with someone with bad luck, I'm afraid my luck will not be good."
"This is the difference between you and him, and also the difference between most people and him." Wuhuang Terracotta Warriors said softly, "In the gambling house, there are some smart gamblers who will not place bets easily. They will observe first. Who should they observe?" The worst luck."
Xu Nuo's heart moved, and she vaguely understood the hidden meaning of Emperor Wu's words.
"Your Majesty is saying that Mr. Thirteen wants to use a very unlucky person to lead the way in the opposite direction to find the big Mr.?"
"Outrageous?"
"It's outrageous." Xu Nuo nodded, feeling the urge to complain.
"I'm looking forward to it."
The human figurine of Emperor Wu spoke softly, his eyes as deep as the abyss.
