How Paiguguay Explains the Illegal Use of Dice to Tell Fortunes Banuzhi said: "Then, it's better to use three dice to tell your fortune." Panguguet said: "No, that algorithm is deceitful, improper, and very dangerous. You must not believe it. The harmful "Dice Fortune Telling" is an enemy who was fabricated long ago. Kaya was made not far from Bra, near the statue of Brahercules, and is still there in many places, to deceive simple-minded people into their trap. You know my father Gao How Kangda banned and burned the molds and patterns for making dice in the country, and he absolutely banned, banned and destroyed them just like treating the extremely dangerous plague.

"The dice I'm talking about are similar to the game of bones, and are equally deceptive. You don't need to be persuaded by the fortune-telling tricks that Tiberius played in the fountain of Apponus, where Galion's vision appeared. Me. It's all swindlers' bait to keep simple minds superstitious. "However, in order not to wrong you, I also agree with you to take three dice and roll them on the table. According to the number of throws, let's check the number of rows on the page you turned over. Do you have any dice in your bag?" ?” "A bag full of dice," said Panurge. "It is the devil's bait that Melinus Cocaius speaks of in libro secundo de patria diabolorum. Without it, how could the devil have hooked me? ?”

Panurge took out three dice, rolled a five, a six, and another five; he said: "Sixteen o'clock. Let's see what the sixteenth line of the page I turned over is. Sixteen o'clock, I like it, it must be a good hexagram. If I don't put my future wife on the first night of my wedding Satisfied and captivated, I'd rather roll into the devil's den like that ball in a cricket game, or a cannonball fired at a line of infantry!" "I have no doubt about it," said Paiguguet. "You don't need to make such a big oath. If you miss the first hit, it's fifteen o'clock; get up in the morning and make up for it: it's exactly sixteen o'clock."

Panuge said: "Is this how you understand it? Tell you, the strong man guarding under my stomach has never missed anything. Do you see that I have missed anything! No, no, never. I am an old hand, an experienced old hand , that's right. People who have played with me can testify!" After speaking, Virgil's collection of poems has already been delivered.Before Banuzhi opened it, he said to Paguguai: "My heart is beating terribly in my chest. You feel my pulse in my left arm so fast you'd think I was at Solpond for my exams. Do you agree with us before seeing Virgil? Let’s pray to Hercules and the legendary god Dainite who is in charge of destiny first?”

"None need pray for either," said Paiguguet. "You just flip Virgil open with your fingernails." ① "Dice and Fortune Telling" was translated by Antitus Foer based on the original work of Lorenzo Spirido da Belluccia published in Brunny in 1474.
