Jia Ruidao shuffled the cards skillfully, and then dealt three hidden cards to each of Tang Xiu and him. Then he put the remaining cards aside and continued:
"After the dealer has finished dealing the cards, he will put the cards on the table in front of him. I once heard of a master who could use the cards in his hand to shoot out and hit the remaining cards in the deck at an extremely fast speed. The cards he needs are whirled out, while his original cards remain in the remaining card pages. However, a gambler who can do this is definitely a god of gambling, just like a Las Vegas casino. There is such a gambling god."
suddenly.
Jia Ruidao slapped his forehead and said in annoyance: "I forgot a crucial factor, which is to remember and count cards. Your eyes should always be focused on the dealer's hands, follow his rhythm, and be able to remember and calculate. The position of every card, especially when cutting the cards, must be accurate.”
Tang Xiu followed Jia Ruidao's explanation and reached out to touch his three cards. When he saw the numbers on the card pages clearly, he frowned. As his eyes swept across the stack of leftover pieces that Jia Ruidao had just put down, he made a quick move. Like lightning, the card exchange was completed in an instant.
"Smaller?"
Tang Xiu sighed secretly in his heart.
He knew that he had not carefully looked at the cards that Jia Ruidao had shuffled, nor had he remembered the face and position of each card. Seeing that Jia Ruidao didn't notice that he had changed the cards just now, he immediately clamped a card and changed the cards again.
"4 spades, 5 hearts, 6 hearts, straight?"
Tang Xiu turned over the cards and said, "It's your turn."
Jia Ruidao smiled and said: "Good luck. My..."
While he was speaking, he swept his hands very quickly towards the remaining cards in front of him, but almost instantly, Tang Xiu quickly took action and grabbed his wrist with precision. The card in Jia Ruidao's hand was not replaced.
"Don't play with hand speed in front of me."
Jia Ruidao's expression became dumbfounded. He looked at Tang Xiu's hand in disbelief, licked his lips fiercely a few times, and said with a bitter smile: "It's really unbelievable, how can your eyes be so sharp, how can your hand speed be so fast! I My hand speed is very fast, partly because of my talent, and partly because of my decades of practice. But you..."
Tang Xiu said calmly: "When I practice martial arts, I need to see all directions and listen to all directions. I can punch as fast as lightning and sweep my palms as fast as light. Unless someone is faster than me, I will easily find out if they cheat in front of me. .”
Jia Ruidao said with great joy: "That's great, I didn't expect you, Brother Tang, to be a martial arts practitioner. After our teaching and learning today, I can finally let go of most of my hanging heart. To be honest, Brother Tang, don't you become a martial arts practitioner?" Professional gamblers are really a big loss to the gambling world. I think if you can concentrate on practicing your gambling skills, you can become a famous gambling master in three to five years at most."
Gambling master
Tang Xiu secretly rolled his eyes. He only became a gambling master when he was full and had nothing to do. Not to mention that he has no interest in gambling at all, just because he needs to practice and improve his strength to return to the peak of the immortal world, he can't wait to race against time, there is no time to waste.
"Gugu..."
Suddenly, there was a sound from Jia Ruidao's stomach.
Tang Xiu smiled calmly and said: "It's very late now, let's go out to eat something first! I have memorized these gambling skills you taught me. I will practice them by myself tonight."
Jia Ruidao was extremely distracted at the gambling table during the day and was in a tense state. After he came back, he taught Tang Xiu gambling skills. When he saw that Tang Xiu was extremely talented and could easily accept and learn almost every gambling method, he felt overjoyed. . His mood changes, which were almost between great sadness and great joy, made him feel tired at the moment. After hearing Tang Xiu's words, he naturally raised his hands in agreement.
"Brother Tang, my apprentices should have booked private rooms. Let's leave now!"
After leaving the presidential suite, Jia Ruidao's eldest disciple Gong Dalong was waiting outside the door. Seeing the two people coming out, he immediately said respectfully: "Master, Master Tang, I have reserved a private room at Baiyan Restaurant. The second junior brother and the youngest junior brother have already gone over to wait."
"good!"
Jia Ruidao nodded with satisfaction, glanced at Tang Xiu, and said quickly: "Brother Tang, Baiyan Restaurant is a specialty restaurant on Jingmen Island. It is extremely high-end. If you are not a member there, you will not be able to get in."
"Um!"
Tang Xiu nodded unequivocally. He didn't have much favorable impression of those restaurants and clubs in China that asked for status and title at every turn. Because the slogan of this new era is "Equality for all, building a harmonious society together."
However, setting this kind of threshold for what can and cannot enter is to divide people into three, six or nine levels. If he were in the world of cultivating immortals, Tang Xiu might be used to it. But in this new era, it makes him feel like "being a bitch and setting up a memorial arch."
Riding in a Mercedes-Benz car, passing through the bustling city with bustling lights and bustling lights, the car changed direction on a path near the coastline. There are almost no cars on the two-lane road in the lush forest, except for the dim street lights. Occasionally, a few security personnel riding sensor cars passed by silently.
gradually.
The sound of the waves seemed to come from the sky, and as the car moved forward, the sound became clearer and clearer. Finally, lights like twinkling stars appeared in front of Tang Xiu.
"Um?"
Tang Xiu looked at the light for a few times, and was suddenly shocked. He exclaimed in surprise: "Water-breaking Dragon Locking Formation?"
Jia Ruidao turned his head and said in confusion: "Brother Tang, what did you say?"
Tang Xiu took a deep breath and tried to make his breathing calmer. He turned to look at Jia Ruidao and asked, "Is this the Baiyan Restaurant? How much do you know about this restaurant?"
Jia Ruidao shook his head and said: "Very few. The owner of this restaurant definitely belongs to the kind of person who is like a dragon without head or tail. According to legend, Baiyan Restaurant already existed when Jingmen Island was first developed, but the scale continued to increase later. .By the way, there is another special situation.”
Tang Xiu said: "What special situation?"
Jia Ruidao lowered his voice and said: "It's okay to dine in this Baiyan Restaurant, even if it's sky-high price, but the food here is absolutely delicious, and the wine is even more delicious, making people salivate. People who come here, besides being rich, In addition to status, there is another type of people who can enter. That is people who practice martial arts."
"A person who practices martial arts?"
Tang Xiu was confused by Jia Ruidao.
Jia Ruidao explained: "Yes, they are martial arts practitioners. The most puzzling thing is that every martial arts practitioner who comes here to eat, as long as he can pass the 'Thousand Machine Array' set up by the restaurant owner, will be able to eat for free Eat and drink here.”
"Thousand Machine Formation?"
Tang Xiu was shocked in his heart, and his complexion instantly turned pale.
In his mind, he couldn't help but recall the days in the fairy world, and the figure of the little girl in white clothes in the martial arts training ground in the majestic palace. In the dark, that childish voice lingered in his ears:
"Master, Yan'er has broken through the Thousand Machine Formation 3,600 times, why can't he get through? Are you cheating again and setting up a golden man in the Kun position?"
"Master, Yan'er finally made it through. Master, I'm so happy. You said I grew up after I made it through the Thousand Machine Formation. Has Yan'er grown up?"
"Master, please have a taste of the fresh Baihua brew prepared by Yan'er himself..."
"Master..."
There was a sparkle in Tang Xiu's eyes.
Six thousand five hundred years!
A full six thousand five hundred years!
His favorite eldest disciple, the good disciple who wanted to help him find the ten thousand-year ice soul, wandered alone into the Netherworld and Dead Sea, which even the Supreme Being of the Immortal Realm considered a dead end, and has not been heard from since. It made him sad for six thousand five hundred years, and he vowed never to accept a direct disciple again.
"Impossible! Even though I taught the Thousand Machine Formation to only one of her, and even though the Water-breaking Dragon Formation was my original creation, and I only taught it to her, this should be just a coincidence. It's a coincidence."
Tang Xiu kept repeating this sentence in his heart.
soon.
The Mercedes-Benz sedan was parked in the spacious parking lot. Jia Yelei, who had been waiting for a long time, stepped forward to open the car door and watched Tang Xiu and his father walk out.
"Dad, Master Tang, the box has been reserved and is waiting for you to arrive."
Jia Ruidao nodded slowly, looked at Tang Xiu and said, "Master Tang, let's go in together."
Tang Xiu was silent for a moment and said, "Tell me the box number. I feel a little bored and want to go for a walk. Once I can breathe some air, I will go to the box to find you."
"this… "
Jia Ruidao hesitated.
Tang Xiu waved his hand and said, "Go! I'm fine."
Jia Ruidao nodded and said, "In that case, let's go in first. Brother Tang, if anything happens, call me as soon as possible."
"good!"
Tang Xiu nodded silently.
After sending away Master and Disciple Jia Ruidao, Tang Xiu found a direction, walked through the forest path, bypassed the fountain square, and went straight to the coastline. The starlight in the sky shimmered on the sea surface. A thousand meters away from the coastline, a lone boat floated with the waves. Tang Xiu's eyes were sharp, and he could clearly see that among the Ye Guzhous, there was a thin figure from the back. It looked like he had a strong sense of desolation and loneliness.
Tang Xiu took a deep breath and sat cross-legged on the beach by the sea.
"The road is full of hardships and obstacles."
"The sky does not move and my heart is calm."
"All sects return to their hearts."
“…”
The "Great Compassion, Great Joy, Purifying Heart Mantra" surged in Tang Xiu's heart, and the spiritual energy from heaven and earth roared in from all directions, washing his rippling heart like a clear spring.
Ten minutes later.
Thousands of meters away on the Ye Guzhou, the charming girl sitting cross-legged suddenly changed her expression. The look of surprise in her starry eyes flashed away, and she quickly turned her head to look towards the coastline. She was keenly aware that just now, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth floating around her was rushing towards the figure sitting cross-legged on the shore like a tide.
