The door of the Taoist Association was closed, and inside, a Taoist official in green was gambling with a group of idle people.
The entrance to the entrance hall, which 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, grab the cards, grab the cards!"
These people are playing a kind of card called horse tag.
This type of gambling card 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 to draw the cards, take the cards, and play the cards to hit the small ones with the big ones. There is a banker and a player when playing horse hanging cards.
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 and make the banker play.
If the dealer wins, he or she can move to the next house. If he loses, he will move 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 one circle is called "one draw". Winning in this circle means winning one 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 important thing is still
The last lap 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 and the defeat can be turned into victory. This 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 do it anymore."
"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 Taoist at all. His collar was pulled open, and he looked a little lost.
Among those rogues, 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 from outside 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 Daolu Division? How come the Shangguan of 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 Dongdachana 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, we will get the money here and go immediately!"
Yan Yingcai bowed his head, with a flattering expression, 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.
"Xiaguan 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 way, 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?
Yan Yingcai immediately beamed with joy when he got the silver. Ji Xiang told him to send the talisman to a certain boat at Jindukou. 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 to himself, this soap-colored Dao 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, a few of his naughty friends came out and saw Ji Xiang's leaving figure, and they quickly exchanged glances.
