It was night, except for the ghost market, all other places in Fengdu City had fallen into complete silence; comfort came along with darkness, shrouding Fengdu City.
After leaving Mo Zhai's restaurant, Xiao Shizhu quickened his pace and walked forward, but secretly cursed in his heart: "You think I'm stupid, you want to trick me into rebelling with a few bottles of spicy wine? No one in the family can do anything like this.
No!" Then, he spit out a mouthful of saliva, and a feeling of pleasure emerged in his chest.
After scolding him, he calmed down as soon as the foam hit the ground. Fortunately, there were no aunts and uncles wearing red sleeves and cannulas for hygiene, otherwise the red head would be gone in just this moment.
Xiao Shizhu calmed down and suddenly thought, if the skinny old man is really Mozi, and he is a human soul and can not reincarnate for a thousand years, then this person's influence in Fengdu city cannot be underestimated, and there must be this person's informant in the city.
.
If he dared to reject the request of such a thousand-year-old boss, the other party would definitely lose face. Maybe his disciples would come to harm him soon. After thinking about it, Xiao Shizhu felt that he was too impulsive just now, and he also quickly thought of something.
The way to avoid the Mohist disciples is to stay in a place where people are distracted.
But it was dark at night, and most of the shops on the street had already closed. Looking at the ancient buildings all over the underworld, they had not yet reached entertainment venues such as bars, KTVs, etc. After Xiao Shizhu thought about it for a while,
The word "casino" comes to mind.
This kind of place is a mixed bag of people, and the owner of such a store has his own backstage, and there are also thugs in the store. Who dares to cause trouble in the casino? Go to a place like this to avoid the Mohists.
Couldn't be more appropriate.
Although this is the underworld, it is impossible that there are no casinos. Gambling has been banned in the human world thousands of times over the past millennium, but this industry has not been wiped out to prevent future problems. What's more, when he waits for reincarnation in the future, there will be no place to spend money.
There are plenty of them, why not go to the casino to make some money before the final judgment comes and kill two birds with one stone.
For others, most people who go to casinos are just to lose money, and it is very impossible to make money. But for Xiao Shizhu, who has a lot of skills, this kind of thing is too simple. When he was in the world, he often
Making money in this way, as long as the casino in the underworld also involves dice and Pai Gow, he will be 100% sure to make a profit from it.
After making up his mind, Xiao Shizhu walked quickly towards the shop not far ahead with the word "Gamble" embroidered on the door.
After entering the store, Xiao Shizhu walked slowly into the lobby. He saw that the decoration of the casino was luxurious but not vulgar. Every table and chair in the large lobby was made of sandalwood, which was classic and flamboyant. The floor was covered with
The glazed carved floor is elegant yet noble. The tall mahogany columns hold up the roof, giving it an indescribable magnificence.
In the overcrowded hall, shouts and sighs intertwined and could be heard one after another. There were three Pai Gow tables in the hall, and people were standing in front of the three dice tables. The maids in gorgeous clothes were carrying tea, snacks, fruits and other items back and forth.
Serve guests between tables.
Xiao Shizhu just glanced at the lobby and saw that the maids would avoid a few of the guests. He immediately understood that they were "dark lights" designed to capture thousands of people in the casino.
At this time, a beautiful maid walked up to him and stood in front of him. After giving him a blessing ceremony, she asked respectfully: "Master, are you coming to Lele?".
"This service is not bad." Xiao Shizhu nodded with satisfaction, glanced at the maid's bulging breasts, swallowed hard, rubbed his hands and took out an ingot of gold and said: "Beauty, take me to exchange for chips.
Bar.".
The maid made a promise and took him to the place where the chips were exchanged. After changing the chips, Xiao Shizhu casually took five of the chips without even looking at them, and directly gave them to the maid who led the way as a reward.
Seeing his innocent behavior, the maid actually thought that he was a regular customer, and quickly took the opportunity to wink at those "dark lights". All this did not escape Xiao Shizhu's eyes. It is natural for an old gambler like him to
I also know that this look is a sign that the dark lights are paying attention, that he may be a con man.
But Xiao Shizhu was not afraid. The thousand tricks he used were the lantern borrowing techniques that were tacitly accepted in casinos. As long as he didn't win too much, those dark lights couldn't do anything to him.
Xiao Shizhu took the chips, looked left and right, then walked slowly to one of the dice tables, watched the croupier skillfully shaking the dice clock, and shouted: "Come on, come on, big bets."
The lower one pays five!" Then he smashed the dice clock on the table and shouted: "I'm done with it."
The dice clock had just landed on the table, and many people were placing chips on the large and small plates on both sides of the dice clock. However, Xiao Shizhu did not move for a while, just watching silently.
After everyone placed their bets, the croupier looked at the chips in his hand and said with a smile: "Sir, don't you want to bet? Every game today pays five to one." Xiao Shizhu also smiled.
, after seeing that the big bet on the table only had a few small chips, and the small bet had dozens of chips of different sizes, he took the smallest chip and put it on the big bet, and said lightly
He said: "Open."
The casino supports so many people, and they have to eat every day. Although the odds are only 5 to 1, if there are too many customers and the amount is too large, the casino cannot handle it and will go bankrupt. Therefore, the dealers often let the bettors
Only when the number of people and the amount of bets on both sides are similar, the casino will let the guests experience what is truly fair, just and open, where life and death depend on fate and wealth.
It was precisely because Xiao Shizhu knew this principle that when he saw that few people were betting big and the amount was not large, he took a small chip and bet on it. This method of taking advantage of the casino's loopholes is very useful.
It is the borrowing lamp technique among thousands of techniques.
Of course, in order to prevent the casino from seeing that he had used the borrowing technique and to prevent the dealer from biting him to death and only letting him lose, Xiao Shizhu would deliberately lose two or three games after winning one, but no matter whether he won or lost, he would always bet
The chips are small, which makes the dealer think that he is nothing more than a cautious novice, and winning money is nothing more than the newcomer's stupid luck.
From time to time, he would tease the maid who brought him fruit snacks, pretending that his mind was not on the gambling table at all, and gradually, even the "dark light" didn't bother to stare at him.
On the surface, Xiao Shizhu seemed to lose more than he won, but he calculated very well. He had a detailed account of when he should win and when he should lose. By the end of the first half of the night, he had already begun to recover his losses. Excluding the principal,
He also made three taels of silver. Although it was not much, in the final analysis, he won.
He knew that he couldn't play anymore. Although the borrowing skill was good, it had to be stopped when it was good. So he stepped aside and watched others play. No matter how much the croupier tempted him to place a bet, he just smiled and said nothing.
waving hands.
After watching for an hour or two, when it was almost dawn, the dealer hit the dice clock on the table, and everyone started to place bets immediately. After everything was ready, the dealer was about to open the dice clock, Xiao Shizhu
When I glanced at the gaming table, I saw that because all the first ten were small, the large side of the gaming table was full of people betting, but the small side was empty and no one was betting.
Seeing this, Xiao Shizhu knew that his opportunity had come. He took out a ten-tael chip and gently threw it to the small one. A look of confidence flashed in his eyes.
After the chips were placed on the table, they spun a few times before stopping. The dealer opened the dice clock at this moment. Everyone at the table, except Xiao Shizhu and the dealer, were all dumbfounded, and many of them were rubbing their eyes vigorously.
The three dice all turned up one point, which turned into a leopard. According to the rules of the casino, this is not only small, but also the odds of a correct bet are 100 to 100. It is equivalent to saying that Xiao Shizhu made a thousand at this time
two.
In fact, Xiao Shizhu is not a god. Without the ability to predict, he naturally does not have clairvoyance. He can guess so accurately, but he is familiar with the dealer's psychology. The first ten games all opened small, and most of the gamblers bet large.
, so I was a little anxious and angry after losing, and all this did not escape Xiao Shizhu's eyes.
Gamblers who are very competitive in this game will definitely think that the previous ones are small and this time will be big, so they all bet on the big.
The croupier took advantage of the gamblers' psychology and wanted to tease the gamblers while also preventing the gamblers from getting discouraged and allowing them to continue gambling. So he not only wanted to play small, but also wanted to play leopard.
Let the gamblers see hope and cheer up.
It was because Xiao Shizhu caught the croupier's mentality that he dared to reluctantly take out ten taels and bet on the small piece that no one was betting on.
Under the boos and admiring eyes of everyone, Xiao Shizhu smiled faintly, looked around at everyone with clasped fists, and said: "Luck, luck."
The incredulous look flashed in the dealer's eyes, and then he quickly winked at the "dark lights" closest to Xiao Shizhu.
After seeing the "dark lights" all shaking their heads to indicate that Xiao Shizhu was not a cheat, the croupier also cast an envious look at him, and then a look of frustration and annoyance appeared on his brows, and his hands shook slightly.
My mistake caused the casino to lose a thousand taels. It can't be solved by being scolded by the boss. Maybe the job will not be guaranteed. That is a light punishment. If the boss mortgages the debt of one thousand taels to
If you put it on your head, your life will be over.
Xiao Shizhu, who was calm on the surface but very proud on the inside, did not expect that many years later, this humble croupier would become his biggest trouble in the underworld.
After exchanging the chips and the casino taking 20% of the profit, Xiao Shizhu made nearly 800 taels. After winning so much money and being so satisfied, he knew that he could not stay in this casino any longer or come back, so he
Then he walked slowly towards the entrance of the casino.
After leaving the casino, I saw that it was just dawn and there were not many ghosts on the street. Xiao Shizhu, who had not slept all night, stood at the entrance of the casino, yawned and stretched, and then went to the ghost market.
He had to find a place to eat some hot food, and then find a place to have a good sleep.
Unexpectedly, when he reached the corner of the street and turned, he saw not far ahead, under the archway at the entrance to the ghost market, a dozen ferocious little ghosts in servant uniforms, standing in a circle, surrounding a ghost in the middle.
Each of those little ghosts had a big word "Chu" embroidered on the back of their clothes. They were noisy, gearing up and ready to fight the demon soul. But the demon soul was on full alert, staring at these little ghosts.
Xiao Shizhu took a closer look and saw that the demon soul was a monster wearing a bamboo hat, with the body of a horse but a human face, tiger stripes on its body and bird wings on its back. It was holding two axes and was confronting the dozen or so little ghosts.
He recognized at a glance that the demon soul was Yingzhao.
At this time, Xiao Shizhu, who had not yet realized what had happened, heard the leader of the dozen kid's yelling at Yingzhao: "Damn it, I'll ask you again, you beast, do you want to do anything for me?"
My master is a murderer?"
"No! Yingzhao, I will never kill souls indiscriminately!" Yingzhao roared angrily, struck preemptively and brought down his axe, chopping down a kid to the ground in the blink of an eye.
