Chapter 20 Gamblers

The journey was long and there was plenty of time. Wang Fu lay on the wooden cart and made gestures, gradually gaining insights.

The toothache spell and stomachache spell are not difficult and are at the entry level.

With Wang Fu's qualifications and a lot of cultivation, he can get started quickly.

Now that the theoretical foundation is in place, the next step is to practice.

Wang Fu looked around. Where could there be patients in this wilderness?

"Gah!

When eating dates in the old style, he spoke too fast and accidentally knocked his back molar from the date core.

Isn’t this just drowsiness hitting the pillow?

“Uh-huh!

He was holding his chin in the old way, his mouth was full of blood, and his teeth, stained with blood, were lying on his palm, all of them broken.

It hurts to look at, quite serious.

Wang Fu stepped forward enthusiastically and said, "Let me see the old tricks."

He opened his mouth in an old-fashioned way, revealing a mouth full of teeth typical of poor people. The gums were loose, the teeth were severely worn, and four or five teeth had been absent for a long time.

Wang Fu knew that this was caused by long-term eating of whole grains and not paying attention to oral care, so it was not a top priority.

After searching for a few times, he found the broken root of the tooth, revealing tender flesh gushing with blood.

"I almost forgot, paper is also a scarce commodity these days."

Wang Fu was about to draw the talisman when he realized that there was a serious shortage of equipment.

Paper, which could be seen everywhere in the past life, is now a luxury item only used by the upper class.

I have no choice but to use whatever comes with it.

Wang Fu looked left and right, and suddenly found a few leaves falling from the pile of straw beside him. He thought they had fallen from the woods on the road.

I randomly selected a complete piece of green leaf as big as my palm to replace the talisman paper.

The first important point in drawing talisman is that the talisman paper is not limited to material, but it must not be damaged at all.

Wang Fu used charcoal as a pen and hastily drew a spell on the leaves.

After reciting a few incantations, the mana is deposited like smoke, falling on the runes on the leaves, and gradually undergoes strange changes.

"The old method, stick it on the cheek, the toothache will be better."

Laobao Shi took the 'talisman' and said with fear, "Little Master, it's too precious, I can't take it."

"I drew it easily, accept it!"

Wang Fu smiled. It was just a talisman. Apart from the steps of drawing the talisman and reciting the incantation, it was essentially just a leaf. There was nothing precious about it.

The expert's eyes were filled with sincerity and fear, and even the ecstasy of winning a big prize.

"How's it going?"

After a while, Wang Fu asked Lao Baoshi.

His old cheek was pressed against the leaf, his mouth was no longer bleeding, and his expression was no longer as painful and ferocious as before, but instead looked comfortable and comfortable.

When Wang Fu asked, he realized what he was doing and hurriedly replied, "Little master, it doesn't hurt at all. It feels very comfortable."

During the rest of the journey, Lao Baoshi was much more polite to Wang Fu and even took out his treasured dried meat from the wooden box under the seat and gave it to him.

Wang Fu felt a sense of accomplishment when the toothache curse first showed its effect, and from the changes in his old tricks, it seemed that the status of the Taoist priest was not low.

To be precise, he should be a Taoist priest with real abilities.

"Little Master, if you are so capable, you don't have to suffer in the mountains. There is a lot of wealth and honor at the bottom."

"There is a Taoist priest in the village next door to us. He has a way to ask for a son for a thousand gold. Landlords and rich people from all over the country come to ask for a son. He built a Taoist temple in Sanjinyuan and has dozens of disciples."

Wang Fu smiled, knowing that this Taoist priest must be a liar. How could a serious Taoist have a business related to infertility?

As we were chatting, we suddenly talked about our destination.

"Where are you going, little master?"

"Jingkou Town!"

"What a coincidence, the old man is going to Sidaowan and passes through Jingkou Town, so he will drop off the little master at the entrance of the town?"

"OK!"

Nightfall!

Wang Fu was suddenly awakened. He suddenly heard voices, not talking to himself in the usual way, but talking to a stranger.

Where did the stranger come from?

Wang Fu got up and saw a bonfire next to the car, with sparks and ashes flying in the air.

However, the shadow cast by the bonfire on the ground was only that of Lao Bao Shi.

The stranger was a burly man, sitting like a mountain of meat. His thick arms shook the upside-down sea bowl, and something inside made a clanking sound.

"Open, open, open!"

Lao Bashi's face was flushed, and he stared at the stranger's hands, unaware of anything else.

In the middle of the night, in the wilderness, I actually gambled in the wilderness.

Wang Fu shook his head and jumped off the wooden cart, startling the two of them.

"Old tricks, how about making money?"

Wang Fu walked forward quickly and sat down in front of the bonfire. The two of them were rolling dice.

"Little Master, I couldn't sleep at night, so I happened to meet this friend and play some dice."

The old man turned his head and urged the sturdy man, "Open~"

Although the big man was strong, he had a good temper, and his face was full of flesh but he was smiling. The bowl shook a few times, and finally it was pressed to the ground. The dice inside rotated and collided, and gradually calmed down.

"Lost again!"

Laobao Shi was so annoyed that he pushed a few copper coins in front of him in front of the big man. Regardless of how little money was left, he urged him desperately, "One more plate."

Wang Fu shook his head. If he continues to gamble like this, he is not gambling on money, but on his life.

"Little master, would you like to try a few of them to try your luck?"

The sturdy man saw Wang Fu and greeted him warmly.

Wang Fu shook his head modestly, "I'm not lucky enough to gamble."

Wang Fu refused, so the big man turned to the old trick and rolled the dice to compare.

It's strange to say that the old style is bad luck. You lose all the money. You don't have much money in the first place, but you lose everything in a few hands.

The big man didn't mind it and generously lent him money to repay his debt.

Wang Fu looked at it quietly, wondering if he was a true gentleman watching gambling without speaking. However, his attention was not on the sea bowl and the dice, but on the old-fashioned candle.

The fire of life is crumbling, and the candle is spreading black air, which is a sign of impending disaster.

Looking at the big man again, the life fire candle is white.

Ghosts are tangible and insubstantial, and the light does not cast shadows. In addition, the life fire candle is white, so it is definitely not a living person.

Evil spirits block the road, deceive people's hearts with gambling, and then threaten their lives.

The situation has become clear.

The sea bowl is placed on the ground, and the dice rotates for several weeks and stops at the bottom of the bowl.

"Why don't you play anymore?" Lao Bashi looked up in confusion.

The sturdy man sneered, "It's okay to play, but you need to settle the accounts first. You just lost and borrowed, and you owe me a total of three thousand dollars."

"How about we clear the debt and we can continue to play."

Lao Bashi's forehead was dripping with sweat. He woke up and slapped himself hard several times.

As soon as the cold wind blew, he came to his senses. He had lost so much money that he couldn't even afford to sell it.

This is an honest man. When he heard that he owed so much debt and was in the wilderness, he did not have any evil thoughts. Instead, he worried about how to repay this huge debt.

"Little Master, please save me."

Lao Bashi suddenly saw Wang Fu and begged him.

"Old style, do you need to borrow money to repay your losses?"

Wang Fu decided in his heart that if the other party continued to gamble, he would be hopeless.

"No more gambling, no more gambling."

Lao Bao Shi shook his head, thinking that he had lost his mind tonight. He had lost so much money and had lost most of his life's savings. Without the help of noble people, he would be dead.

"Friend, if you have no money, I can lend it to you."

Before Wang Fu could speak, the sturdy man said first, "You still have something with you that can be pledged."

"What?"

Laobao Shi was also curious. His hands and bags were empty. Is there anything valuable left?

"Your life!"
