The door of the Taoist Association was closed. Inside, a Taoist official in green was gambling with a group of idle people.
The entrance to the entrance hall that should have written "Quiet and Inaction" is instead hung with a black cloth that is only found in casinos. On the left side are written four words "White jade comes in", on the right side are written four words "Green crickets fly in", and there is a sentence in the center. Four words "kill all three parties".
"Come on, come on, draw cards, draw cards!"
This group of people is playing a kind of card called horse tag.
This type of gambling is played by four people. Each person takes eight cards first and puts the remaining eight cards in the middle of the table. The four people take turns playing cards, taking cards, and using big cards to hit small ones. There is a banker and a player in the horse tag game. The banker has no fixed owner and can take turns to decide the banker by throwing dice. The three players work together to attack the banker, causing the banker to move down.
If the dealer wins, he or she can move to the next house. If he loses, he will move on to the next house.
When playing cards, four people take turns playing cards and taking cards.
The principle of playing cards is to use the big one to play the small one. The suits are in order of "cross", "ten thousand words", "suozi" and "wenqian". The "cross" is the largest and the "wenqian" is the smallest; , only the "Wen Qian" category is based on small management, that is, "No Wen" is the largest, "Half Wen" is the second, and "Nine Wen" is the smallest.
Taking turns to play a circle is called "a draw". Winning in this circle means winning a draw. Getting two draws means winning one table. Getting three to five draws means winning one table. Six draws means winning two tables. But the most critical thing is still in the last circle, which is the eighth draw. Even if all the previous seven draws are lost, as long as the eighth draw is won, it will be full of success, turning defeat into victory, which is called "grabbing the knot".
This thrill of a desperate comeback is deeply loved by gamblers!
But obviously, this Taoist official lost.
He lost everything and failed to make a comeback in the last attempt, so he collapsed on the ground with a look of horror on his face.
"Brother Yingcai, you can't survive."
"How can he still have money? Now he will take off all his Taoist official clothes and give them to us to pay off the debt!"
The Taoist official in green, who was called "Brother Yingcai" by the rogues, had a note on his forehead. He didn't look like a member of the Taoist sect at all. His collar was pulled open, and he looked a little lost.
Among those scoundrels, someone approached the Taoist official and whispered: "Brother Yingcai, it doesn't matter if you don't have money. You can go to the Dragon Casino again and borrow it from there."
"After borrowing it, if you gamble a few more games at the Milong Casino, your money will come back, don't you think?"
Yan Yingcai was a little confused, but he kept nodding his head, as if he thought the rogue's words made sense.
At this time, a Taoist boy came in and told Yan Yingcai, a Taoist official in green, that someone was looking for him outside.
Yan Yingcai looked ferocious and said in a bad tone: "See you, see you! Master, I am busy at work. Who has to come now? Is it the county magistrate who comes to ask for amulets? If he comes to ask for amulets, give him the amulets I drew before. Remember... One talisman costs ten taels of silver!"
"Otherwise, don't mess with me, sir. Be careful, sir, I'll cast a spell on him! It just so happens that I don't have any gambling money recently!"
The little Taoist boy shook his head and said to Yan Yingcai: "No, they are from the Daolu Department. They want to come here to buy talismans."
"People from the Daolu Division? How come the Shangguan of the Daolu Division is here? Is it true or not?"
Yan Yingcai was stunned. He tore off all the notes on his head with a strange expression. After asking about the other party's attire several times, he immediately cheered up and said to the gambling friends around him:
"I went to the Eastern Mahayana Temple yesterday and made a wish for money. I didn't expect that someone actually sent me money today!"
"Please be patient and wait for me to collect your gambling funds!"
Yan Yingcai smiled, his eyes shining, and his gambling friends cheered: "Brother Yingcai has gambling funds again, why don't you invite us to go to the Milong Casino to play more games?"
"Absolutely, let's get the money here and go immediately!"
Yan Yingcai bowed his head, with a flattering look on his face, and a hint of excitement as if seeing hope.
When Yan Yingcai saw Ji Xiang, his eyes suddenly lit up.
Of course, apart from the light of greed, there is also some confusion and fear. This is normal. After all, anyone who encounters a Taoist priest who is covered in weapons will be a little confused.
"Xiaoguan is the head of this tunnel association. I wonder how many talismans Shangguan wants?"
"Thirty pounds."
"Three, thirty pounds? For food? Ahem, I mean, you really are not an ordinary person!"
Yan Yingcai quoted a price to Ji Xiang. Of course, he was also afraid that Ji Xiang would not pay the bill, but he did not expect that Ji Xiang paid the money readily and said that everyone was in the same Taoist circles, and Dao Lusi relied on selling talismans. If you make money on credit, wouldn't it make you look too stingy as a Taoist official in the capital?
When Yan Yingcai got the silver, he immediately beamed with joy. Ji Xiang told him to send the talisman to Jindu Port, on a certain boat. Yan Yingcai just nodded repeatedly, indicating that he would do as he was told, but his eyes were full of money and could no longer accommodate anything else.
After negotiating the price with Ji Xiang, Ji Xiang and the other three left straight away, while Yan Yingcai stared at Ji Xiang's clothes and thought, this soap-colored luxurious avenue uniform could be sold for a lot of money.
Once you have money, you have gambling capital, and you can gamble again.
At this time, his naughty friends came out and saw Ji Xiang's leaving figure. They exchanged glances quickly.
This official actually carries a firearm, is very generous, and is dressed luxuriously. He is definitely a rich man, and he is also a good thug?
However, Taoist officials are all good at magic, and these gangsters also know that they cannot rob by force, and the end will definitely be bad. They must rely on other capable people, so some gangsters immediately grabbed Yan Yingcai and left. The latter was a little angry, but The scoundrels told him you were onto something good.
"Go back to the casino and tell the three leaders that a noble person has appeared."
The gangsters are all local mortal spies, working for the Dragon Casino, and this casino is said to be extremely magical.
There is a dark world that does not seem to be in the mortal world. There is a noisy casino here, where people and demons come and go, there are Taoists and monks, there are ghosts and earthly priests from all directions, all coming and going.
This is the Dragon Casino.
The owner of this casino is named Mi Long. He likes to collect rare treasures and valuable things, and he is extremely greedy.
"Hey, Xiao Liuzi, you're here again. Have you brought your gambling money?"
"Bring it here. This is the body of my wife and my daughter."
There was a young man who was in a daze, dragging the fresh corpse of a woman and carrying a sack. He entered the casino, where there were many monsters playing cards. When he saw him coming, not only did he not eat him, but he also showed enthusiasm. call.
The young man threw his wife and daughter on the card table and used them as gambling capital. He held the horse tag, stared at the dice in front of him, and just shouted:
"Let's bet, let's bet!"
"Haha! Not bad, a woman's meat is tender and delicious. Your wife has paid off her gambling debt last time. If she loses again this time, will you really let your daughter go?"
“Let’s bet!!!”
This man just slapped the table, his spirit was haggard, while the monsters around him laughed and played cards.
Some monks giggled and were excited because they won a game. There were also Taoists who were crying and losing all the games.
In the casino, there was a general who was watching the action. At this time, the gangsters came and brought Yan Yingcai with them.
When he learned that another noble person had appeared, the god general grinned. He immediately called a few names, and some demons and gods appeared in the casino. These strong men who could not repay their debts would work as thugs at the Milong Casino.
Ji Xiang and Little Fox were covered in weapons, luxurious soap-colored Taoist uniforms that almost no one had ever seen, a bunch of magic weapons, and gold and silver. How could they let this big fat sheep off so easily? ?
You must go to the casino and sit down.
"Invite monsters and gods to rob you of your money, then take you to the casino and lend you money to gamble. If you don't want to gamble, then you have no choice but to die. If you don't want to die, you have to gamble. After gambling, you will be in debt. If you owe a debt, you must repay it.”
"The Taoist officials, officials, and landlords here are all my subordinates. How can you fight with me? Officials in the capital? Isn't this better? Controlling a Taoist official in the capital can help us break into the inside. King Lu learned You will be happy if you hear this news."
"I'm not afraid that you won't win when I start gambling, I'm just afraid that you won't come! No one's corruption can happen overnight!"
