Chapter 311 Chapter Six Intentional or Unintentional

Lei Jiu pointed: "Master Ling is familiar with that kind of gambling?" Xu Ziling said: "Don't call me by grandpa and grandpa, I won't be used to it. When I was young, people often played Sic Bo in Yangzhou, and some people played Fantan, but only for the sake of watching. Ha! I mean 'look' ’ It’s to see which one is the fat sheep that wins money.” Lei Jiuzhi asked: "What kind of Sic Bo betting method is popular in Yangzhou? Do you bet on two different dice, bet on eighteen dice, or bet on the points of each dice?" Xu Ziling replied: "In the past, the two methods were mixed together to gamble. You can bet on two or sixteen. Why do you ask such a question?"

Lei Jiuzhi shrugged and said: "Just asking casually, real Sic Bo masters even use Tianjiu cards to bet each other. Only three dice can be matched into various Tianjiu cards, and then according to Tianjiu's rules It's more interesting than winning or losing." Xu Ziling said: "Yangzhou also has a few famous gamblers, our Yan Boss is one of them, but he never wants to teach us. He likes to hollow out the middle of the dice and fill them with mercury to deceive people." Lei Jiuzhi said disdainfully: "Whether dice filled with mercury, lead or ivory powder are called 'drug dice'. Those who are a little smarter stuff iron filings, and then use a magnet to control it under the table. With the technique, it is indeed necessary to open it alone Single, double double. But this is all done by low-handed players. Real masters have the skill of listening to dice. Only by the tail sound made by the collision and friction of the dice when they fall on the bottom of the dice cup, one to six points can be the one that goes down. The voice can be distinguished, grasp the points. As far as I am concerned, it can reach 80% of the criteria.”

Xu Ziling gasped, "No wonder you always win every bet." Lei Jiu pointed out: "There is no such thing as a winning gamble in this world. Liars will also be exposed. Look!" Xu Ziling looked at his outstretched palm, which was slender than ordinary people, and there were two ivory dice in the palm.Frowning, he said, "I've never been interested in stealing and plundering. If it's Kou Zhong, you don't have to teach him." Lei Jiuzhi smiled and said: "As long as Ziling thinks that this is a way to do justice for the heavens, and all the money he wins is used to buy food and help the people, gambling is no longer a coincidence!"

Xu Ziling could only answer with a wry smile. Kou Zhong woke up from the deepest sleep, and found that he was still sitting cross-legged, with his spine straight. When he opened his eyes, he saw that the half-queen moon had already quietly moved from the courtyard wall to the top of the head. Outside the light of the blue moon, the shining stars were densely embedded in the dark night sky, which was extremely moving. Kou Zhong picked up Jing Zhongyue, which was on his lap, and felt an unprecedented feeling in his heart, as if the treasured knife had formed a whole with him, the knife seemed to gain new life, and it was no longer just a dead thing and tool.

He couldn't help raising the knife to examine it, and lovingly stroked the blade with the other hand, his whole body was ethereal and spotless. "Clang!" The moon in the well came to the top of the head, slashed down, and stopped with the chest flat. The saber air surged to both sides like a wave, rolling up the fallen leaves of the old locust tree in the garden for a long time. "Clang"! Jing Zhongyue returns to the sheath. "This knife still looks good!" Kou Zhong looked at Song Que who appeared on the steps outside the door, and said indifferently: "I thought the lord was asleep!"

Song Que tucked his left hand behind his back and lowered his right hand. He stepped down the steps without hesitation, and stood about two feet in front of Kou Zhong. His eyes were shining brightly, and he smiled and said, "It's such a beautiful day, it would be a pity to miss it. The young commander's knife just now, I have advanced from the legal to the lawless, and I don’t have any obstacles in my heart, but I still have a short way to reach the real master.” Kou Zhong admired his saber skills completely.Hearing the words, he asked modestly, "May I ask the boss, what is the difference?"

Song Que looked up at the stars and the moon in the sky, his deep eyes were full of brilliance, and he said slowly word by word: "The law is the level of the earth, and the law is the level of the heaven. The law implies the law, and the law is hidden. Containing the law is the highest level of the integration of heaven, earth and man, and only human beings can connect the heaven and the earth, so that there is no law but there is law, and there is law but there is no law." Kou Zhong pondered for a while, then shook his head and said: "I still don't understand. To me, the so-called law means to move according to the moves that have been drawn up in advance. Even if they change randomly before the battle, they are still derived based on specific laws; It is not restricted by any rules of tricks, and moves according to one's heart's desire, so it can not fall into the stereotype."

Song Que leisurely moved his left hand behind his back to his chest, and in his hand was another ancient, heavy and unusually heavy precious sword with a sheath. Pull it out from the sheath, and said softly: "Heaven has its principles, and things have their nature. Principles and laws do not exist, but when you can control them, you are like a butcher who unleashes an ox. There is no state of completeness. Forget the cow after you get the cow, and forget the law after you get the law. Therefore, the most important thing is to use a knife. But if it is intentional, it will only fall into the trace; if it is unintentional, it will be lost. For a while, if you understand this artistic conception, you understand it, and if you don’t understand it, you don’t understand it. Like this knife.”

The treasured saber came out of its sheath, and seemed to slash at Kou Zhong carelessly. Pao Ding Jie Niu is a fable of the ancient sage Zhuang Zhou. It is said that Pao Ding, who is good at picking cattle, penetrates the gaps in the bones and flesh with a thick blade, so he can solve them easily. While Kou Zhong was thinking, Song Que would be able to fight as soon as he wanted to, and he was not allowed to think at all. Also, Song Que's knife is like an antelope's horns, not only without beginning, but also without end.All of a sudden, the saber was slashing at his face, the power of the saber sealed off all escape routes, there was no way to avoid it, the worst part was that he didn't even know where his saber would hit him in the end.

What's more, this simple and dark heavy knife weighing a hundred catties was used in Song Que's hands. It seemed to be as heavy as a thousand jin, but also as light as a feather, making it impossible to grasp.Just looking at it can make people feel dizzy with sadness. Having no other choice, Kou Zhong hastily pulled out Jing Zhongyue and used his saber to block. Jing Zhongyue naturally changed direction following Song Que's saber. "when"! When the two knives touched, they froze in the air. Unparalleled zhenqi struck through the saber, Kou Zhong almost exhausted all the qi in the meridians of his body, barely able to strengthen the opponent's first round of qi.

Song Que showed a hint of a smile, while constantly pumping up his true energy, he attacked Kou Zhong, and said indifferently: "Can the young commander see the mystery from this knife?" Kou Zhong was trying his best to resist his invading vigor, but he felt that Song Que's knife was getting heavier and heavier, and could crush him with the knife at any time. Hearing this, he said with difficulty: "The knife of the lord is invariable, but it is actually ever-changing. , It seems to have been done on purpose, and it seems to be done unintentionally, but I can't block it too badly! Ah! It's intentional or unintentional." Song Que shook his wrist violently, pushing Kou Zhong back three steps, and the two separated. Kou Zhongxin said thank God, and took another three steps back until his back almost touched the locust tree, and then he set up his position, ready to deal with his second strike. Song Que's saber in the left scabbard and the right sword stood in the courtyard like a god, his clothes were blowing without wind, and he said with joy: "The saber just now is my real kung fu, even if Ning Daoqi comes in person You didn't dare to block it, but you blocked it with ease. If you want to hear compliments, I, Song Que, can let you listen. As long as you have a little more time, your achievements will surpass my 'Heavenly Sword' Song Que and become the world's leader The first swordsman." Kou Zhong smiled wryly and said: "So the boss has made up his mind to kill me, otherwise how can he flatter me, right?" Song Que shook his head and said, "You're wrong, I never thought of killing you from the beginning to the end, otherwise how could it make you take such a big step." Having said that, his aura continued unabated, overwhelming Kou Zhong.Kou Zhongju said in shock: "But when you attack me, the lord, you are indeed trying to kill me. If you are not careful, I will lose my life. Even the lord can't control it." Song Que looked up to the sky and said with a smile: "That's not the case. How can you force out your hidden talent? If you are killed by my knife, you are not qualified to be loved and appreciated by me." Kou Zhong smiled bitterly: "Since that's the case, why do you act like you still want to put me to death?" Song Que said in a deep voice: "Do you know the name of this knife in someone Song's hand?" Kou Zhong was stunned and said, "What nice name does this knife have?" Song Que's eyes sparkled with lightning, and he said word by word: "This is the heavenly knife that Song used to run amok in the world, and has never been invincible." Jing Zhongyue suddenly turned into a yellow glow, and went straight to Song Que.If he stayed any longer, he might not be able to stand it for a while.Song Que smiled, and waved the knife casually, calmly and unrestrainedly, matched with his handsome face, with a tall and straight body like a pine and cypress, it was indescribably pleasing to the eye. Although it was a random strike, Kou Zhong felt that no matter how his saber moves, how the position, angle and time changed, he would eventually be blocked by him. Gengzhi must not retreat to avoid it, because under the traction of Qi, Song Que's Heavenly Sword will rush from the gap like a torrent of water collapsing the embankment, destroying everything in its way. "choke"! The Tiandao produced a huge suction force, and firmly sucked Kou Zhong's Jing Zhongyue firmly. The two knives met, and the four eyes met. Song Que shook his head and sighed: "You still have the biggest shortcoming, which is that you can send it but not take it back. If you have spare strength in this knife now, it is impossible to be sucked by my inner strength. This is also too serious. , boy, do you understand?" "Clang"! The saber energy surged, and Kou Zhong was thrown away, almost turning into a rolling gourd. Song Que charged forward with his sword, and the blade gushed out a murderous aura, enveloping Kou Zhong. Kou Zhongning stopped moving, and the sky knife was drawn out. Kou Zhongjian flipped his wrist, made seven or eight changes in a row, barely blocked it, and was knocked back three steps. Song Que shouted: "Okay!" Another sweep of the knife was powerful and strong, but also agile and wonderful, leaving no trace. Kou Zhong knew that Song Que was using all his strength to strike with every knife, and if one of them couldn't block it, it would be the end of the decapitation, and no one could change it.Hurry up and get up the power of God, and go with a knife. With a muffled snort, he only took two steps back this time. Song Que laughed loudly, and slashed at the head with the saber, the saber was like the sun shining in the sky, shining brightly on the earth. Kou Zhong was able to kill, Jing Zhongyue went up to the peach, with a sound of "ding", he picked up the Zhongtian knife obliquely, and then flew back. Song Que stood still, nodded and said: "Kou Zhong, you know that if you talk about talent, no one in the world can surpass you. These three swords have won the purpose of sending and receiving freely. Even if I really want to kill you now, I can't kill you." It's going to take a lot of work. Come on! Give me a few knives." Lei Jiu pressed the dice cup on the table, staring at Xu Ziling who was listening attentively, and asked, "How much?" Xu Ziling said: "It should be one three points and two five points." Lei Jiuzhi opened the dice cup and sighed: "You are full of teachers!" Xu Ziling said: "So it's so easy." Lei Jiuzhi smiled wryly and said: "Master Ling, do you know that even the 'Tianjun' seats are in your hands? Although the world is big, there are more people who can be your opponents than that number of people who can raise their fingers. .With your martial arts and your talent, you can learn in two hours what no one else can learn in a lifetime. When you stop the boat in Padang, you can go for the first try and win some old skills. For the next stop." Xu Ziling frowned and said, "Don't you have a lot of money?" Lei Jiu pointed to his head and said, "Master Lu's words 'abstain from greed' will always be in my mind, so when the silver in the bag reaches a certain amount, I will distribute the money to those in need. , so now there are only more than ten ingots of gold in the bag, if it is in the big casino in Jiujiang, this amount will not be enough for use.” Xu Ziling said: "Are you planning to gamble immediately after landing in Jiujiang?" Lei Jiu pointed out: "Jiujiang's 'Yinru Pavilion' is one of the top ten casinos in the world, and it is the most famous casino along the Yangtze River. One of Xianggui's four great generals, if he can bet against him, Xianggui would have to do it himself." Xu Ziling said: "Where is the number one casino, is it related to the Xiang family?" Lei Jiu pointed out: "Casinos all over the world recommend Ming Tang Nest in Chang'an, Guanzhong. It is located next to Shanglin Garden, the most famous brothel. The host is the famous 'Great Immortal' Hoover, who is the head of the 'Hu Immortal Sect'. The most respected old man in the door." Laojiao is a quack term, referring to people who cheat by gambling. Xu Ziling asked puzzled, "Isn't Immortal Hu a fox? This Hoover is obviously a liar. Who would go to his casino?" Lei Jiu pointed out: "Being an old man is what Hoover did when he first debuted! To make a fortune, Hoover publicly offered a whole pig and sheep to Immortal Hu twenty years ago. There is no room for cheating in the casino, so going to his Mingtang lair is more at ease than going to any other place to gamble." Xu Ziling said: "Looking at it this way, Hoover shouldn't be a Xianggui person!" Lei Jiu pointed out: "Not only is it irrelevant, but he is also the enemy. Xianggui once sent his eldest son to Guanzhong to gamble, but he gave Hoover the victory and fled. The loss was heavy. So if Xianggui wants to fight me, I will It is designated to be held in Mingtang Nest of Hu Daxian in Chang'an, just thinking about it makes me feel beautiful, ha!" Xu Ziling smiled wryly and said: "Your brother knows that Kou Zhong and I can't make public when we arrive in Chang'an, because we will die at the sight of light. And Li Shimin's subordinates have seen my appearance, so they will know that I, Xu Ziling, came here." Lei Jiu pointed out: "In addition to gambling and martial arts, I have also learned the art of disguise from Master Lu, and I will have my own tricks. The most important thing now is not to let anyone know about my relationship with you. Yeli! I Don't stop Ling from resting." "when"! Kou Zhong didn't know how many knives he had struck out, but Song Que was like a high mountain, even if it was blown by wind and rain, it would be difficult to shake it a little.But what Kou Zhong felt was an unprecedented joy, a tyrannical opponent like Song Que could only be found here. In addition, he kept giving pointers, and every comment was to the point. One night can wait for others to practice for half a lifetime. Kou Zhong quickly withdrew his knife and backed away, and said respectfully: "Thank you for your guidance, the lord. If you have success in the future, it should be thanks to the lord tonight." Song Que put the knife back into its sheath, and said with a slight smile, "There's no need to talk nonsense between us, it's almost dawn! Let's go after breakfast!" Kou Zhong was stunned for a moment, and then followed Song Que to leave the Sharpening Hall, a place he will never forget.
