I know that although my father is known as the Saint of Thousand Sects, he is the object of admiration by countless people.
But I know better that his journey has not been easy.
There are as many masters from thousands of schools as crucian carp crossing the river, and there are others in the world who are eager to try.
Not to mention anything else, just one Gu Sect made me miserable.
Thinking of this, I opened my heart and asked directly:
"Mr. Luo, is the person you are looking for to solve the poison today the Miao King?"
Luobei did not answer my question, but asked instead:
"Shouldn't you ask me how Mello died?"
As soon as the words came out of my mouth, I knew that Luobei had identified me.
But should I tell the truth?
For a moment, I was in a dilemma.
After all, I have only met Luobei a few times, even though he saved me today.
But I can't guarantee whether he set up a trap for me.
But if I don't tell the truth, it may be difficult for me to get the real answer.
After thinking about it, I adopted an ambiguous attitude and asked him:
"If Mr. Luo is willing to say something, I would be willing to listen!"
Luo Bei glanced at me sideways, maybe my cunningness made him a little dissatisfied.
He didn't say much, walked slowly to the bookshelf, pointed to the top position of the bookshelf, and said:
"See that box? Take it off!"
I didn't understand what Luo Bei meant, but I still followed what he said.
Climb up the ladder and take down the top box.
This is just an ordinary copper storage box. There are scratches on it, and it looks like it has some age.
Putting the copper box on the table, he continued:
"I have collected a lot of antique gambling equipment, some of which are even orphans. But among these collections, this one is my most precious. Open it and take a look!"
For Luobei to pay so much attention to it, the things inside must be particularly valuable.
I opened the lid of the box carefully, for fear of accidentally damaging the contents inside.
When I opened the lid and saw what was inside, I felt a little disappointed.
I thought the things here should be quite precious.
But what was placed inside was actually two boxes of very ordinary playing cards.
And this kind of poker was popular decades ago.
The texture is much worse than the current one.
Luobei seemed to be afraid that the card would be damaged if it took too long, so he specially sealed it outside.
I don't understand why Luobei collects this kind of playing cards?
Luo Bei also looked at the poker and said slowly:
"You must have thought that the things here are priceless, but you didn't expect that they are just two ordinary decks of playing cards, right?"
I nodded.
"Then take a closer look. Is there anything special about this deck of playing cards?"
I picked up the playing cards and looked at them carefully.
You can see that the sides of the entire deck of cards are stained with dark red stains.
The upper and lower pictures also have similar things.
Other than these, I can't see any difference.
Luo Bei pointed to the prints on the card and asked me:
"Do you know what this is?"
I shook my head.
"Blood stains! Some cards have been soaked in blood and I put them inside. After being outside for a long time, after drying, they have fallen and cannot be seen..."
A deck of cards stained red with blood made me look at Luo Bei even more confused.
I had already vaguely guessed why he wanted me to see this.
Sure enough, Luo Bei continued:
"These two decks of cards were the cards used by Merlot in the last game. After the game, the servant wanted to throw them away as garbage. I was reluctant to part with them, so I kept them. You know, Merlot is a thousand
A legend of the Qianmen Generation. He played countless games in his life, but never lost. But in this last game, the card was stained with blood and he lost his life. This card also witnessed the fall of the Qianmen Legend. How could it be disposed of as garbage?
?”
At this moment, Luobei's face was filled with emotion.
Looking at the playing cards in my hand, I feel like I am back in those days.
The difference between me and him is that I look at the cards.
But in front of me, I still see the scene in front of me where my father died tragically.
This memory is painful to me.
But every time I calm down, that scene appears in front of me uncontrollably.
Holding the cards, I looked over them many times.
I imagined in my mind the scene of my father staining the gaming table with blood and soaking the cards in red.
"Mr. Luo was present at the time?"
Luo Bei put his hands behind his back and walked slowly in the room.
He did not answer my question, but said seriously:
"If your purpose in traveling all the way from Habei to Yundian is to find out the cause of your father's death and avenge him, then I can only say that you are seeking fish from a tree and have gone in the wrong direction!"
I looked at Luo Bei puzzled, not understanding what he meant.
But he didn't look at me at all, and continued while walking slowly:
"Both I and Liu Yunxiu, including the Three Beauties in Central Yunnan, are all called the King of Gambling. The name sounds loud, but in fact it is just that others are unwilling to compete with us. The real big boss is always hidden behind the scenes.
.They are the ones with the means to reach heaven and earth, and the ability to steal the sky and change the sun. If they are willing, we so-called gambling kings may cease to exist in a moment..."
