The last round is over.
Jiang Xu's point stick was also confiscated, because Matsuo's points had already entered negative numbers.
At the end of the finals, the ranking points are fixed as follows.
The first place is Jiang Xu with 67600 points.
The second old man has 31,700 points.
Third place Ryosuke Ishihara with 10,900 points.
Fourth place Jiro Matsuo -10200 points.
Jiang Xu ranked first with an absolute advantage.
The entire final lasted for two hours, which was very long.
Many people in Quezhuang also left midway, but there were still 70 or 80 people watching the game until the end.
This shows the love for mahjong in this world.
The game is officially over.
All that's left is the final awards ceremony.
It was still the same as at the beginning of the Rose Cup, it was held in front of the shrine in Quezhuang.
However, this time, Jiang Xu and the others were able to stand behind the old store manager and observe this mysterious shrine up close.
The remaining twelve people stood in the back row.
The roof of the shrine is made of brown and black cotton tiles, and the overall color is dark red lacquer.
What is enshrined inside is also a statue of a god, but a sacred tablet with the word "Sparrow God" written in seal script.
The only thing that is a little special may be that inside the shrine, under the sacred tablet, there is a sculpture of a brown-yellow kitten the size of a quarter of a fist sleeping in a ball, holding its tail against its forehead, like a guardian animal of the gods. Same.
Other than that, it looks bland and nothing special.
The old store manager first stood at the front alone and announced the end of the 136th Rose Cup competition. He read out the names from the top 16 to the top 12 in order, and gave each person a red envelope worth 250 Happy Beans. .
Then, he announced loudly.
"Fourth place in the 136th Tsuki Cup, Matsuo Jiro."
"Third place, Ryosuke Ishihara."
"Second place, Kazuo Murayama."
"Championship, Jiang Xu!"
"Congratulations to the four of you for winning the semi-finals of this year's Monthly Cup!"
Jiang Xu turned back with a slight smile on his face and nodded in greeting.
Bang bang bang bang!
The audience below was not stingy and gave him a round of applause.
Wait until the applause stops.
The old store manager took four books of cards from the cashier boy and handed them to four people respectively, asking them to offer the cards to the altar.
What kind of mysterious ritual is this? !
Jiang Xu complained in his heart, but he still did it honestly.
Looking at the four tile books laid out on the altar, there is a mahjong with its back facing up in the middle, and four sticks stuck in the incense burner behind it like incense.
Jiang Xu looked weird and couldn't complain.
But he didn't pay attention.
With this series of rituals completed.
More or less luck escapes from the four cards and converges into the mahjong in the middle. A dot representing a piece of cake gradually solidifies, and then an illusory dot appears, but it is not solidified.
In the shrine, a sleeping kitten about the size of a quarter of a fist seemed to smell some fragrance. It sniffed the tip of its nose gently and opened its eyes.
After unhurriedly stretching his body and stretching, the kitten poked its head out of the shrine and gave a soft cry.
"Aim~"
Jiang Xu almost stared out of his eyes.
Sculpture, alive? !
He glanced left and right, only to find that the expressions of the three people on the left and right remained unchanged, staring at the shrine in front of him, wondering what they were thinking.
But what is confirmed is that they did not see this strange civet.
Is it like those strange luck threads that only you can see?
Maomao raised his head and met Jiang Xu's eyes.
Jiang Xu saw its eyes suddenly widen, and its body became relaxed and relaxed in an instant.
This look was like that of a child who thought his parents were not at home and ran into the kitchen, opened the refrigerator, and prepared to sneak some snacks. As soon as he stuffed the snacks into his mouth, he turned around and found that his parents appeared from nowhere with a surprised look on his face. Looking at myself.
At this time, the cat's expression was as human as that of a child. It was completely sluggish. When it was raised, its front paws were stiff in the air along with its body, motionless.
They all ran out of the shrine, what are you still pretending to do!
And even if your body is still, these little eyes are still moving!
Who are you planning to deceive?
Jiang Xu was speechless in his heart.
But he reacted immediately and pretended that he just looked here accidentally and didn't see anything at all. He naturally turned his gaze and looked away.
Maomao pretended to remain where he was, but quietly raised his little head to observe Jiang Xu.
After a while, I really felt relieved, and continued to lower my head to get to the mahjong side that collected the entire Rose Cup luck, which was also displayed as a piece of cake.
When it opened its mouth and bit it, the two cakes that had not yet solidified went into its mouth. In two more mouthfuls, it swallowed the solid cake as well.
The cat burped with satisfaction, then came over, raised its little paws with some difficulty, rubbed the four sticks that were a little high for it, and then breathed out at the two sticks in the middle.
After completing its mission, it was about to go back. As soon as it raised its head, it accidentally looked at Jiang Xu again.
Although Jiang Xu immediately looked away, Maomao hesitated for a moment, then turned back again, stuck out his little tongue, and licked the stick in the middle.
You've been lazy about feelings before, right? This time you gave me a little more feedback. Jiang Xu complained in his heart.
Every time the cat makes a move, tiny spiritual lights like stars will scatter and blend into the stick, making it seem to have something different.
It wasn't until the three blessings were completed that it stood up on its four legs, swayed as if it had eaten and drank enough, returned to the shrine, curled up into a ball, and turned into its original appearance.
In Jiang Xu's eyes, the picture also disappeared.
The above is a long story, but it actually happened very quickly. It only took everyone three nods of respect.
The entire ritual of worshiping gods is extremely simple, without much formal effort.
After everything was over, the old store manager stepped forward to take back the cards and at the same time pulled out the four dotting sticks.
When he turned around, he spread out his hands and faced the four of them.
"The standing stick blessed by the gods will bring good luck and drive away evil spirits."
The three people on the left and right did not take action, obviously they wanted Jiang Xu, the champion, to pick first.
Jiang Xu was not polite and took out the stick in the middle that the cat had licked three times.
He wanted to see what the cat spirit had done. Was it really a blessing from the gods?
[Spiritual object: A Richi stick stained with the spirit of the gods, which can improve a little bit of luck. Note: I can only give you a hint, no more. 】
The old man twitched for the second time. He stretched out his hand and hesitated between the stick that the cat had licked and the stick that had just been rubbed. He still chose the stick that had been rubbed.
The third person was Ryosuke Ishihara. He directly pulled out the third stick, which was also a standing stick that had only been rubbed by cats.
Matsuo Jiro had no choice and took the last one.
Jiang Xu found it interesting.
Most people don't have his special perspective, and it should be purely luck.
Ishihara Ryosuke and the old man both slapped each other casually and didn't take it seriously.
But judging from the looks of the two of them, they didn't care, and just regarded it as a gift for the ceremony.
On the contrary, it was Matsuo Jiro who kept mumbling about the blessings of the gods and the improvement of his luck in poker.
In the end, it turned out to be the second stick that Maomao had been angry with, and he took it away.
I have to say, is it really that bad luck is used up at the poker table?
Or is your sincerity truly revealed?
But Jiang Xu didn't care.
His stick had been blessed three times by the cat spirit, and it was much more effective than the one in Matsuo Jiro's hand.
I just don’t know what effect it can have in actual games.
