Sweat broke out on the croupier's forehead. Although he was not the best croupier in the entire casino, with his skills, he would never produce such a large error in the dice.
He said solemnly: "How did you do it?"
This was a completely subconscious reaction and a true reflection of his frustrated confidence.
Bai Xiaoyu said with a sad face: "I really didn't make a fortune."
The gambling house has gambling house rules, and there is no evidence that Bai Xiaoyu is cheating. Naturally, they can't really cut Bai Xiaoyu into pieces in the gambling house, even though the croupier really wants to do so. But if Bai Xiaoyu goes out with the money today, for Boss Bai, it may be a trivial matter that is not worth paying attention to, but for the croupier who manages the casino, it is a dereliction of duty on his part. Going out will make him lose face even more.
You must know that there are many people who are eyeing his position. Maybe because of what happened today, he will lose his job tomorrow.
The croupier wiped his sweat with his sleeves and said, "Bai Xiaoyu, for the sake of all of us being fellow villagers, please tell me honestly how you paid the thousand, and I promise not to hurt you."
Bai Xiaoyu said: "I really don't know." If he had known how to make a fortune, he would have ended up like this. At the same time, he deeply regretted it. If he had won a little money and left earlier, he would now be eating the food cooked by the boss's wife.
… …
Gu Weiwei looked at the rain-washed night sky outside and asked curiously: "You told Bai Xiaoyu that he must come back before Youshi, but he hasn't come back now, what will happen?"
Shen Lian said: "Senior sister, do you still remember the two copper coins I gave him?"
Gu Weiwei said: "Remember."
Shen Lian said: "The money I refined has become spiritual. Once he stays in the casino for a long time, the two green clam coins will absorb the wealth of the gambling house, so he can't lose even if he wants to."
Gu Weiwei revealed it a little bit and said, "That boy has been retained by the people in the gambling shop?"
Shen Lian said: "Yes, this is also a manifestation of lack of wisdom. Bai Xiaoyu is still driven by instinct in doing things, has difficulty restraining his desires, and cannot judge the situation; and some people are much better in this regard. Look at the one just now Mei Niansheng obviously wanted to scheme against me to gain benefits for herself, but she was able to weigh the pros and cons and restrain her scheming in front of me, so that she did not make me feel disgusted. "
Gu Weiwei said: "Do you also hate people?"
"Why not?" Shen Lian asked.
Gu Weiwei smiled sweetly and said: "Looking at your usual appearance, I thought you didn't put others in your eyes, so naturally you couldn't say you disliked or liked them."
Shen Lian smiled lightly and said, "Senior sister, I have always put you in my eyes."
Gu Weiwei spat: "That's not what I meant."
Shen Lian nodded lightly and said leisurely: "I know what you are thinking. Many people think that practitioners are pure in heart and have few desires, so they have no emotions. In fact, this is not the case. It's just that smart practitioners will not be swayed by desires and can put aside desires. Through the fog, you can see the truer side of things. Therefore, a wise practitioner will not deliberately hide the things he likes, nor will he turn a blind eye to the things he dislikes."
Gu Weiwei said: "Isn't that just like a child?"
Shen Lian said: "Senior sister is right. Therefore, the Tao Te Ching written by the Supreme Master often uses innocent children and babies to describe the mysterious avenue. How about I explain the Tao Te Ching to senior sister tonight and then go to practice."
Gu Weiwei didn't expect Shen Lian to talk so much, but she hated listening to those boring scriptures. She shook Shen Lian's arm and said softly: "Tell me a story, I don't want to hear any scriptures."
Shen Lian obviously wanted to be harsh, but looking at his senior sister's watery eyes, he couldn't be cruel anymore. He thought to himself, if you fail in cultivation, at worst, I will find the elixir of immortality and refine the Nine Turns Golden Pill, so that you can live forever and never enter reincarnation again.
With this thought in his mind, his desire to force Gu Weiwei to practice hard faded away.
Gu Weiwei was very sensitive and felt the tenderness from Shen Lian's eyes. Meeting Shen Lian was probably the greatest luck in her life.
… …
The world is inherently unfair. Even if Gu Weiwei doesn't want to practice hard, Shen Lian can still protect her. She even has a better chance of immortality than many people who practice hard.
More people can only wallow around in the world, torturing their body and mind.
Boss Bai is the leader of the Qingzhou Prefecture, but he is not necessarily very happy. Because Zhong Tieyi, the exorcist, came to see him during the day. He was not afraid of Zhong Tieyi alone, but it was different with the addition of Jinma Tang.
The white jade used as gold for the hall is the origin of the name of the hall. It also illustrates the wealth and power of the hall, not to mention that the person behind the hall is the current King of Wei.
Zhong Tieyi asked him to do something. If Mei Niansheng from the East China Sea Alliance came to him for help, he must not agree to it.
However, Mei Niansheng has been in charge of the East China Sea Alliance for many years and has never seen any trouble. When he came to see Boss Bai, he didn't mention anything at all and was just playing cards in his gambling house.
With Mei Niansheng's status, it is naturally impossible to play in the lobby. For people with real status, the gambling house will naturally provide special places. The people who play in this kind of place are rich and powerful, and everyone has a lot of influence.
But now, only Boss Bai is left at the gambling table, and no other high rollers are on the table. Because Mei Niansheng keeps winning, even if they are rich, they cannot keep losing in this kind of gambling, otherwise they will go bankrupt sooner or later.
They play Pai Gow, using cards carved from pure white ivory. The old game ends and the new one begins. Mei Niansheng shuffled the cards, and the ivory cards kept colliding, making a crisp and sweet sound, like a flying spring hitting the cliff, or the sound of jade.
Mr. Mei's expression was calm, showing no emotion or anger. Suddenly, the sound stopped, and a deck of cards was shuffled neatly for him.
The people next to him were all people who were accustomed to singing music. At this moment, they couldn't help but feel a little disappointed and wanted Mei Niansheng to continue shuffling the cards for a while.
Boss Bai looked solemn. He had run a gambling house for many years and his gambling skills were naturally superb. He was especially good at listening to cards. However, Mei Niansheng's method made it impossible for him to recognize any of the cards.
He sighed slightly and said, "Mr. Mei, I'm going to change my clothes first. Please wait for me."
Mr. Mei said: "Please do it."
When Boss Bai left the room, he didn't really go to the toilet, but said to a confidant who followed him: "Find all the people with superb gambling skills in the gambling house, and where did Bai He go? Didn't I tell him earlier?" Let someone call him."
A confidant said: "There is a cheater in the gambling house, and Butler Bai is trying to expose that person."
Boss Bai said coldly: "It's really indifferent. We can't let Mei Niansheng continue to win today. No matter what he is doing, let him come immediately, otherwise he will never come again."
The confidant said: "Yes."
After Boss Bai finished his instructions, he actually went to the toilet to change clothes. After all, he could delay for a while now.
