Chapter 5 The fifth round is full of rewards

Lu Xiaofeng hadn't gambled for money in recent years, he was a gambler, he already knew how to play dice when he was six or seven years old. By the time he was sixteen or seventeen, he was proficient in all the doctor's tricks, lead dice, mercury dice, and iron dice with a magnet under the bowl, in his eyes, they were all just child's tricks. The ordinary six dice seemed to be alive in his hands, and they were very obedient. If he wanted all red, the dice would never show a single black dot. Gambling is like alcohol. For the prodigal sons, it is not only a way to vent, but also a way of making a living.

He didn't gamble recently, not because he won too much and no one dared to bet with him anymore, but because he himself felt that such things were no longer exciting to him! Of course he doesn't have to make a living this way, so he can look for bigger thrills. But the situation is different now. If he wants to stay here, he must have the ability to make a lot of money. Now he seems to have to stay here, and the only chance to make big money here seems to be on these three dice. Instead, the dealer grabbed the dice, knocked them on the side of the big bowl, and shouted loudly: "Quickly place your bets, the bigger the bet, the better."

Lu Xiaofeng said suddenly: "I bet five hundred taels." Although he didn't have five hundred taels, he was sure that he would not lose. It's a pity that others don't have such great confidence in him. The dealer glanced at him coldly and said, "Why haven't I seen your five hundred taels yet?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "Because I haven't taken it out yet." The dealer said: "Our rule here is to see the silver to count." Lu Xiaofeng had no choice but to take it out, and took out the knife that was converted from a chamber pot. The dealer said: "You bet five hundred taels with this knife?"

Lu Xiaofeng said: "Yes." The dealer said: "I don't seem to see that this knife is worth five hundred taels." Lu Xiaofeng said: "You can't see it, just because you have never seen such a knife before." The dealer asked, "Is this knife special?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "Extremely special." The dealer asked, "What's so special?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "This knife is made from a chamber pot." He himself couldn't help laughing, but the others didn't. Although the six people who gambled here had different identities, genders and ages, they had something in common!Everyone seemed surprisingly calm, not even smiling.

Everyone looked at him coldly, as if they were looking at a clown. The shy knife is hard to get into the sheath, and it will be very difficult for Lu Xiaofeng to take this knife back. He didn't know how to get off the stage, when he suddenly saw a hand pushing five hundred taels of silver and picked up his knife. A beautiful hand with long and strong fingers. Although it looks a bit like a man's hand, it is still beautiful. Lu Xiaofeng let out a breath, glanced at her gratefully, and said with a smile, "At last someone knows what to do." Shaman said coldly: "If I knew the goods, I wouldn't have lent you the five hundred taels."

She had no expression on her face: "I'll lend it to you, but you seem to bring me some luck, and I bet a lot on this one, so I don't want you to go." Gamblers are the most realistic, and she seems to be a standard gambler. The dealer shouted in a low voice: "Kill!" The dice were thrown in the bowl, two were sixes, and one was still rolling. The banker called it "six", and the others called it "what", but Lu Xiaofeng knew that the result must be three. Because he has pressed two fingers under the table, he has always been confident in his two fingers.

He really hoped that the dealer would lose a little.This man seems to be able to afford to lose. The dice stopped, and it turned out to be three. Three o'clock is not too little, but there are two people who can't even catch three o'clock. When it's Sharman's turn, they throw another six. She couldn't afford to lose, she had already bet on the jewelry. These two fingers of Lu Xiaofeng can not only hold a lightning stabbing sword, but also sometimes make a rolling dice stop on the point he wants. He is not ashamed of himself for doing this!There is nothing wrong with letting those who can afford to lose lose to those who cannot afford to lose.

Now that the dice were in his hands, all he wanted was a pair of threes and a four. Four points win three points, the win is just right and unobtrusive. Of course he doesn't need other people's hands to help under the table. Although he has neglected to practice for a long time, the dice will definitely obey him. He was sure, absolutely sure. There was a jingle, and the dice fell into the bowl. The first dice that stopped was a three, the second was also a three, and the third was of course a four. He looked at the rolling dice as parents look at an obedient child. Now he can already see the four dots on the face of the dice. They are red, delicate and beautiful, just like five hundred taels of white silver.

The dice are about to stop, and the silver is about to come. Unexpectedly, at this last juncture, the dice suddenly jumped again, and when it stopped, it was actually two o'clock. Lu Xiaofeng was dumbfounded.He never dreamed that there would be a master at this gambling table, probably even higher than him. Shaman gave him a cold look: "Although you have brought me some luck, your own luck is not good." Of course the person who played tricks on that dice couldn't be her, she had already lost a lot, and it was Lu Xiaofeng who helped her win it back. The dealer is taking money.

Not only did this person lose, but he also lost a lot. If he could control the number of dice, he would not lose. Others didn't look like it either, Lu Xiaofeng really couldn't tell who this expert was. He was like a dumb man who ate Coptis chinensis and couldn't tell if he was suffering, or like a blind man who ate wontons and knew it well. As long as he does it again, he will definitely be able to see it, as long as he pays attention, he will never lose. He's still pretty sure.It's a pity that he no longer has the money to gamble, that polite and polite little old man suddenly disappeared, as if he was afraid that Lu Xiaofeng would ask him to borrow money.

A very young man with two mustaches suddenly laughed and said, "We all have mustaches, let's make friends." He actually "acted bravely" and really picked out a five hundred taels of silver note. Lu Xiaofeng was overjoyed, and was about to take it, but who knew that the little beard took his hand away again, and said, "Where's the knife?" "What knife?" "A knife like the one you just had." There is no knife, no money, so Lu Xiaofeng can only smile wryly: "I'm afraid there is only one knife like that in the world." The mustache sighed, and pressed the silver bill again. The dealer's dice had been thrown, and it was "what two three", all compensation. Lu Xiaofeng only felt bitter in his mouth, and was about to find some wine to drink before talking, when he turned around, he found that the little old man was standing by the table with wine, looking at him and smiling. There were all kinds of wine on the table, Lu Xiaofeng chose the bottle of Zhuyeqing himself, poured it himself and drank it, deliberately not looking at him. But the little old man asked, "How's your luck?" Lu Xiaofeng said lightly: "It's not too bad, it's just that those who should have won didn't win, and those who shouldn't have lost did lose." The little old man sighed, and said: "There are many things like this in the world. If you are too sure about one thing, you will be negligent instead. Therefore, those who should win will lose, but as long as there is a second chance, you will lose." It must be grasped." This is exactly what Lu Xiaofeng thought in his heart, and he was right again. Lu Xiaofeng's eyes lit up, and he said: "If you are willing to invest, let me gamble, and we will split evenly if we win." The little old man said: "What if you lose?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "If you lose, I will pay." The little old man said: "How to pay? Use your unparalleled night pot knife to pay for it? It's a pity that the night pot knife is no longer yours." Lu Xiaofeng said: "No matter what, I will definitely not lose anyway, you lend me 10,000 taels, and after this bet is over, I will definitely return you 15,000 taels." He was not such a vicious gambler, he would gamble even after selling his wife, but he was too unconvinced, not to mention this mere 10,000 taels of silver, in his opinion, was nothing at all.He has always spent money like water, and has never taken money seriously. The strange thing is that the more this kind of person, the easier it is to borrow money. Even the little old man was a little moved, hesitantly said: "What if you don't pay?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "Then I will pay you my people." The little old man didn't say anything, and immediately gave him ten thousand taels of silver. Lu Xiaofeng said happily: "Don't worry, I will never let you regret it." The little old man sighed and said, "I'm only afraid that you will regret it yourself." The banker hadn't changed yet, after Lu Xiaofeng left, he tossed a few big points in succession, and unexpectedly got back a little bit. But Shaman went from bad to worse, and almost lost everything again. Seeing Lu Xiaofeng go and come back, a smile appeared on that icy face: "The old man lent you the gambling book? Can he trust you?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "He doesn't really believe in me, he just believes that my luck will definitely change this time." Shaman said: "I also hope that you will change your luck and redeem your knife. No one else wants five cents of this knife." The dealer is already calling for a bet, Lu Xiaofeng said: "We'll talk about it after I win this hand first." He originally wanted to fold up the bank note and bet one thousand taels first, but at the critical point, he suddenly bet the whole bank note. Gamblers lose money, and they lose all at once. The dealer gave him a cold look, flipped a toss, and threw two points, but he still didn't change his face. Several people threw it in turn, some won, some lost, Shaman threw six, couldn't help but looked at Lu Xiaofeng with a smile, and said: "You seem to have brought me luck again." When she wasn't smiling, Lu Xiaofeng was tempted, but when she smiled, Lu Xiaofeng felt even more fascinated. He suddenly held her hand and said, "Can you lend me some of the good luck I brought you?" She wanted to break free from his hand, but Lu Xiaofeng held it too tightly, she immediately lowered her face and said: "My hand is not a dice, why are you holding me?" Although this sentence was said with a straight face, in fact, everyone could see that she was not really angry. Lu Xiaofeng slowly let go of her hand, grabbed the dice, maybe only had eight points of confidence, but now it has become ten points, and shouted: "Leopard." There is no need for a leopard to kill two points at all, and a real expert can only roll four points at most if he wants to kill two points. Even if he does not use tricks, it is not difficult to win two points.But now Lu Xiaofeng seems to have suddenly turned into a child, as long as someone he likes is watching, children will do somersaults for no reason. Now Lu Xiaofeng is in the same mood, he is determined to show off in front of her, throwing a three-six leopard. There was a jingle, the dice were thrown in the bowl, and his hand was already under the table. This time, even if someone wanted to play tricks, he was sure he could turn the idea back. The two dice had stopped, of course they were two sixes, but the third dice was still spinning in the bowl. The dealer stared at the dice and said coldly, "This dice has ghosts." Lu Xiaofeng smiled and said, "Where is the ghost, let's look for it together." As soon as he exerted force with his hand, the table suddenly lifted off the ground. The mustache who wanted to make friends with Lu Xiaofeng just now had his hands on the table, but when the table was off the ground, there was a sound of "poof", two palm-shaped wooden boards fell to the ground, and his hands were embedded in the table. The bowl is still on the table, and the dice are still spinning in the bowl. A gust of wind blew by, and the two wooden boards that fell on the ground turned into strands of cotton wool, which were blown away by the wind in the blink of an eye. Lu Xiaofeng's eyes should have been fixed on the dice, but he couldn't help but look at Xiao Huzi. He really couldn't see that this young man who was dressed like a young man had a martial arts legend in his hand. "Bone-melting palm" kung fu. "Mianzhang" is a unique skill of Wudang, and it is authentic in the inner family, but adding the word "Bone Transformation" to "Mianzhang" makes a big difference. This kind of palm strength is not only vicious and terrifying, but also very difficult to practice. After mastering it, if you hit someone with a palm, the person who was hit will not be aware of it, but after two hours, the palm strength will break out, and the bones of the whole body will become as soft as ice. Mian, even the gods can't save him, it is much more powerful than the "Maha Mudra" of Tibetan Tantric Buddhism and the "Heaven and Earth Killing Hand" of Western Xingxiuhai. Ever since the Bone Immortal who went to the Xingxiu Sea alone, entered the Chaotian Palace at night, and killed the great lama of the Yellow Sect passed away, there has never been such a palm force in the world, but I don't know how this mustache was trained. Lu Xiaofeng couldn't think of it, and didn't have time to think about it. The dice was still spinning in the bowl, every time it was about to stop, a white-haired old man sitting next to Lu Xiaofeng flicked it lightly, and the dice would spin even faster. This man was full of white hair, with a dignified appearance, he looked like an old pedant who had read a lot of poetry and books, he sat beside Lu Xiaofeng all the time, he was the only one who never looked at Shaman directly. Lu Xiaofeng was most afraid of dealing with this kind of Taoist master in his life, and he has never paid attention to him. Until this time the dice were about to stop again, Lu Xiaofeng suddenly heard a "chi" sound, a gust of wind passed by his ear, it actually came from the old man's middle finger. His hands were skinny and sallow, with nails more than an inch long, which must have been soaked in medicinal water. The ten nails were usually curled up, but as soon as he flicked his fingers, the coiled nails suddenly stretched out straight, crystal clear and white. Glittering like a blade. Is this the "finger knife" that was called together with Zhang Bianyin's "Yiyang finger" and Huashan's "finger magic power" in the past? This is also a martial art that has been passed down for a long time in the martial arts world, even Lu Xiaofeng has never seen it before. His own Consonant Finger is also a unique skill that is unparalleled in the world. He suddenly stretched out two fingers and pinched the dice from the air. point. Unexpectedly, at this moment, everyone didn't see the idea clearly, the dealer suddenly pursed his lips, took a deep breath, and the dice suddenly rose from the bowl. The white-haired old man flicked his middle finger again, and with a sound of "boo", the dice was shattered, a piece of powder fell down, and it still fell into the bowl, but no one could tell what time it was. Lu Xiaofeng gambled big and small, I don't know how many times he gambled, but this is the first time he has encountered this, so it doesn't matter whether he wins or loses?Or does it count as the banker losing?Even he didn't know how to deal with it. Shaman suddenly turned to look at Lu Xiaofeng and said, "Two six o'clock, plus one o'clock, what time is it?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "It's still a little." Sharman said: "Why is it still a little?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "Because the number of the last dice is the real idea." Shaman said: "What if the last dice is not hit?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "If there is no point, then there is no point." Shaman said: "Is it not a little big, or a little big?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "Of course it's a little bigger." Sharman asked, "Are two points bigger than one?" Lu Xiaofeng sighed, and said: "Of course two points are bigger than one point, and also bigger than no point." In fact, when she asked him the first sentence, he already understood what it meant. If someone asked him, he had at least dozens of ways to deal with it. Lu Xiaofeng's wit and tricks are so many that everyone in the world would have a headache seeing them, but in front of this girl with cat-like eyes, he couldn't even use them out. Because he is not willing to do it in front of her at all, if she insists on him losing this one, it doesn't matter if he loses! How can a mere ten thousand taels of silver compare to her smile? Shaman really smiled: "Since two points are greater than no point, you will lose the ten thousand taels of silver." Lu Xiaofeng said: "I lost in the first place." Shaman said: "Do you feel sorry for losing?" Lu Xiaofeng smiled and said: "Don't say that you only lost ten thousand taels, even if you lose one hundred and eighty thousand, I won't feel bad." This sentence was originally not bragging. After he said it, he realized that he couldn't even afford to lose even ten taels. It's a pity that the banker had already swept over his banknotes, but he still didn't change his face, and said coldly: "If you have money, you bet, and if you don't have money, you can walk." Lu Xiaofeng had no choice but to walk. The little old man didn't seem to notice the gamble here at all, and he was still sitting there sipping, with a look of contentment on his face, as if he was waiting to receive Lu Xiaofeng's fifteen thousand taels. Lu Xiaofeng had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk over, accostingly asked, "What are you drinking?" The little old man said: "Zhuyeqing." Lu Xiaofeng said: "You also like to drink Zhuyeqing?" The little old man said: "I didn't drink often, but now I seem to be infected by you." Lu Xiaofeng said: "Okay, I will toast you three cups." The little old man said: "I'm afraid you'll be drunk after three cups." Lu Xiaofeng said: "Once drunk relieves thousands of worries, it is rare to get drunk a few times in life, come and drink." The little old man said: "You are young, what worries do you have?" Lu Xiaofeng smiled wryly: "Even though I lost someone else's money, I still feel a little uncomfortable." The little old man smiled and said, "That's not someone else's money, it's yours." Lu Xiaofeng was both surprised and joyful, and said, "It's really mine?" The little old man said: "Since I have lent you the money, of course it is yours." Lu Xiaofeng was overjoyed and said, "I didn't expect you to be such a generous person." The little old man smiled and said: "The generosity of others is nothing at all, it's just..." He continued slowly: "Although the silver is yours, your people are already mine." Lu Xiaofeng cried out: "My surname is Lu, your surname is Wu, you are neither my son nor your father, how can I be yours?" The little old man said lightly: "Because you haven't paid fifteen thousand taels, you have no choice but to pay me your people. With my husband's word, I'll give you a quick whip. In order to fulfill your reputation, I don't want to do it." Lu Xiaofeng was stupid again, and smiled wryly: "I'm a person who likes wine, lust, food, gambling, and spends money like running water. If I belong to you, you have to support me." The little old man said: "I can afford it." Lu Xiaofeng sighed, and said: "But I can't figure it out, why do you want me to be such a big bastard?" The little old man smiled and said: "I have too much money, and I am looking for someone to help me spend it, so that I won't suffer myself." Lu Xiaofeng said: "Do you think spending money is suffering?" The little old man said sternly: "Why is it not suffering? If you drink too much, you will have a splitting headache the next day, just like a serious illness. If you gamble too hard, you will not only be nervous, feel like sitting on pins and needles, and when you are not feeling lucky, you may be sick. I will be pissed off to death, if I let myself go..." He sighed, and continued: "This kind of thing that hurts the body, people like me don't even dare to mention it." Lu Xiaofeng said: "Aside from spending money, what else do you want me to do?" The little old man said: "You are young, strong, and good at martial arts. I don't know how many things I can ask you to do." When he said the words "martial arts are not weak", there seemed to be an indescribable contempt in his tone, no matter whether he really meant it or Lu Xiaofeng was suspicious.Anyway, there is always such a point. Lu Xiaofeng became famous at a young age and traveled across the rivers and lakes. Although he can't say that the world is invincible, he has never met anyone who can really beat him. It's like he has never lost a bet on dice. If someone says he can't, he will certainly not. convinced.But today he threw two dice and lost two. If it was just because others were playing tricks, why didn't he play tricks himself? The mustache's "Bone-melting Palm" and the white-haired old man's "Finger Knife" are already rare martial arts stunts in the Jianghu. In the end, the dealer can suck up a dice seven feet away with a single suction. The two dice next to him were still motionless, this hand of qigong was even more inconceivable. This seemingly peaceful paradise is actually a place where dragons are hidden and tigers are crouching. There is also this amiable little old man, who seems to be sincere and honest, but in fact, he can see through other people's thoughts at a glance. He is the kind of person who pretends to be a pig and eats a tiger with great wisdom.Maybe this gamble was a trap he had set up long ago, and now that Lu Xiaofeng has stumbled, he still doesn't know what strange things he wants Lu Xiaofeng to do. Whatever that is, it's bound to be bad. Lu Xiaofeng thought about it, the more he thought about it, the more unpleasant he felt, and he began to feel that he shouldn't have come here at all. The little old man said with a smile: "Now you must be regretting in your heart. You feel that you shouldn't come, but you can't guess what kind of tricks we are playing. It is inevitable that you are curious, so you are reluctant to leave." He once again explained Lu Xiaofeng's thoughts, but Lu Xiaofeng laughed and said loudly: "No, no, it's not right at all." The little old man said: "What's wrong?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "What you said is completely wrong." He drank the wine in one gulp, picked up a piece of beef, chewed it heartily, and said with a smile: "There is wine and meat here, and there are beautiful women like celestial beings. What am I dissatisfied with the person who let me spend the money? Why should I regret it?" The little old man looked at him with a smile, and said: "Because you are still muttering in your heart, you can't figure out what I want you to do?" Lu Xiaofeng laughed loudly and said, "What can a person like me not do? Even if I was asked to kill someone, I would kill each one, and I would never bury him." The little old man said: "Really?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "Of course it's true!" The little old man looked at him, a strange expression suddenly appeared in his eyes, and he smiled and said, "As long as you can remember today's words, I promise you will be safe and happy for the rest of your life." Although he was smiling, his tone was very serious, as if he really wanted Lu Xiaofeng to kill someone for him. But here, there are hidden dragons and crouching tigers, and there are so many masters, "Bone Transforming Palm" and "Finger Knife" are extremely insidious kung fu. Using this kind of kung fu to kill people is the best, so why bother to look far away and look for it? other people? Lu Xiaofeng finally thought about it again, he had already tasted three dishes, a plate of thinly sliced ​​beef, a bowl of stewed beef brisket in soy sauce, and a plate of tender fried beef with oyster sauce, who would have thought that a plate of beef with chopsticks could be picked up? Going on, the fourth item is still beef, which is a kind of spicy orange peel beef. The soup is steamed from the whole beef brisket. The shredded beef tripe is soft but not rotten. The heat is just right. There is also the beef with water. It is made of thin slices with a little fat and sweetness. Mix it with seasoning and put it in the soup Once stirred, sprinkle with pepper and eat immediately. The soup is fresh and the meat is tender, and it is a rare delicacy. The remaining braised beef tongue, raw fried tripe, hot beef heart, beef balls, braised beef head, stewed oxtail, wolfberry bullwhip, and fried brains are all delicious.It's just that every dish is from the cow, no matter how good the taste is, it will be boring to eat. Lu Xiaofeng said: "Are the cows here as much as your silver?" The little old man said: "Today we are cooking a whole cow feast, because the little girl likes to eat beef very much." Lu Xiaofeng finally remembered that today's dishes were all eaten by his daughter on the first day when she was able to eat by herself. At that time, she was only three or five years old at most, and she made such a large table of beef to eat. Lu Xiaofeng sighed inwardly, it seems that the little old man's daughter is undoubtedly a monster too. The little old man said: "Actually, she is not strange about other things, but she doesn't eat non-beef for every meal. After more than ten years of eating, she can't get tired of eating. If anyone thinks she is a monster, it is wrong." Lu Xiaofeng stared at him, couldn't help asking: "Do you know what I'm thinking?" The little old man said with a smile: "I don't dare to belittle myself with this kind of ability to observe words and emotions." Lu Xiaofeng rolled his eyes and said, "Do you know what I'm thinking right now?" The little old man said: "You originally wanted to deliberately think of some weird things to confuse me, but you couldn't help but want to see my daughter who eats beef." Lu Xiaofeng laughed loudly and said: "No, no, your daughter won't marry me, why should I go to see her?" Although he was saying something wrong, he couldn't help but admire him in his heart, so he couldn't help asking: "Who is she today?" Host and guest, why have you been missing?" The little old man asked, "Who is she?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "She is your daughter." The little old man said: "Since you don't even want to look at her, why ask her?" Lu Xiaofeng was speechless. It turned out that although the little old man looked kind and honest, he was actually cunning and cunning, hundreds of times more powerful than that old fox. The little old man said: "It's a pity that even if you really don't want to see her, you will still see her sooner or later." Lu Xiaofeng said: "I don't even want to see her?" The little old man said: "No." Lu Xiaofeng said: "Why?" The little old man said: "Because you only need to turn your head now to see her." As soon as Lu Xiaofeng turned around, he saw beef soup. Of course, there is no beef soup on the face of beef soup now.If it wasn't because Lu Xiaofeng watched her more carefully than others, she would definitely not be able to see that she was a pitiful beef soup who was bullied everywhere. She has completely changed now, from a little girl who cooks for others to a little princess who everyone wants to find a chance to cook for her.And she is a princess among princesses, no matter who sees her, they will feel that as long as they have the opportunity to cook for her, it is a great honor. People change. Among the people Lu Xiaofeng knew, many changed. Some changed from abject to rich, from a gentleman to a villain, from a hero to a bear, and some from rich to abject poverty, from a humble person to a gentleman, from a bear to a bear. A hero, but never before has anyone become as fast and as much as she is. It was almost as if she had been completely reborn. If Lu Xiaofeng hadn't watched her very carefully, even seen the most invisible parts of her body, he couldn't believe that she was that beef soup. Beef soup stared at him coldly, but it seemed that he had never seen this person before. The little old man said: "Do you recognize her?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "I knew her before." The little old man said, "What about now?" Lu Xiaofeng sighed: "Looking at it now, she doesn't recognize me, and I don't recognize her either." Niu Niu Tang neither admitted nor denied, she seemed to have heard these words, but also seemed not to have heard them at all. The little old man also ignored Lu Xiaofeng, walked over and took her hand, his eyes were full of love, and said: "I told you to go to bed early, why did you sneak out again?" Niu Niu Tang said: "I heard from the girl that someone came back from outside just now, but I don't know if there is any news about Brother Nine?" The little old man blinked and said, "What do you think?" Beef Tang's eyes sparkled immediately, and he said, "I know there must be, Brother Nine will never forget me." The little old man said: "I originally wanted to tell you tomorrow morning. Lao Jiu not only brought news back, but also asked his new follower, Mu Banban, to bring some gifts back for you." Beef Tang smiled like a flower, his eyes glowed, and he seemed to be a different person again, and said: "Where is this half-baked person? Hurry up and call him, and bring the gift from Brother Nine." The little old man smiled and waved, and with a flick of his finger, sixteen bare-chested and bald Kunlun slaves wearing only a pair of leather pants came over on the Jiuqu Bridge, carrying eight huge boxes. There was another person walking in front of them, with one arm and one foot, leaning on an iron staff, his right leg was severed at the root, his right arm was cut off from shoulder to shoulder, and a knife cut on his face hung down from his right eye. Not only was his right eye blind, but half of his nose was cut off, and his ears were missing. This person didn't know whether he was ugly or handsome at first, but looking at him now, he seemed indescribably mysterious and terrifying. Niu Rou Tang seemed very happy to see him, and said with a smile, "I've heard Brother Jiu say that you must be half dead." Mu Banban bent his left leg, bowed respectfully, and said, "Little man Mu Banban, see the princess." Before he knelt down, Niu Niu Tang had already stretched out his hand to help him up. He was far more polite to this ugly and weird cripple than to Lu Xiaofeng, presumably because of her ninth brother's sake. Lu Xiaofeng looked at it from a distance, feeling really uncomfortable, seeing that her hands looked white and soft under the sun, it was quite different from the greasy dirt on her hands before, thinking of what happened that day in the fox's den shower room I can't help but feel a little excited. Mu Banban had supervised the Kunlun slaves who were all covered in black to open five boxes. The boxes were filled with silk and satin, rouge and pollen, and the fifth box was opened. All kinds of emerald agate, gold jewelry and jade. None of these things are women's favorites. An ordinary girl would probably faint with joy when she sees them. Beef Soup didn't even look at it, instead pouted his lips and said, "It's not that Brother Nine doesn't know that I don't care about these things, why did I ask you to bring them?" Mu Banban smiled and said, "Princess, let's see what's inside these three boxes again?" He smiled as if it was very mysterious, even Lu Xiaofeng couldn't help being curious, no matter how much he thought about it, he couldn't think of anything in the world that could please girls more than jewelry. When the three boxes were opened, Lu Xiaofeng couldn't help but screamed. The boxes contained people, one person in each box, and Lu Xiaofeng recognized two of the three people. The first person had gray hair and a mighty appearance. Although he was locked in a box for a long time, his waist was still straight when he stood up.This man's iron sand palm strength has been trained quite well, he has a golden back machete, and he is using the Five Tigers Severing Door technique. There are few opponents in the Jianghu, so how could he be put into a box? The second person is lean and thin, with high and protruding temples on both sides, it seems that he is also a martial arts master with both internal and external training. What really surprised Lu Xiaofeng was the third person. This person was barefooted in straw sandals, wearing a rag cassock that was greasy, and his round face was still smiling. He was the third honest monk among the "Four Great Monks". No one knows whether this monk is really honest or not, but everyone knows that his high martial arts is indeed true, if some gangsters offend him, although he is always smiling and not at all Angry, but this person often loses his life in the middle of the night for no apparent reason. So recently there are fewer and fewer people in the arena who dare to provoke this monk, and even Lu Xiaofeng has a headache when he sees him. In the past six months, he has suddenly disappeared, and no one knows what he did, but he would suddenly appear in this box. The person who can put him in the box is so high in martial arts, it is simply appalling. If Lu Xiaofeng hadn't seen it with his own eyes , can't believe it. The honest monk didn't seem to see him, he clasped his hands together and looked at the beef soup with a smile. Seeing these three people, Niu Niu Tang was really very happy, and said with a smile: "Weird things happen every year, especially this year, why did a monk suddenly emerge from the box!" The honest monk said: "The little girl got angry, the big monk went into the box, Amitre Buddha! So good, so good!" Mu Banban said: "Master Ninth knows that these three people have offended the princess, so he asked the villain to send them here quickly so that the princess can vent her anger." He said "princess" in one mouthful, and the beef soup was well deserved, as if it was really a princess. Mu Banban said again: "But I don't know how the princess wants to vent her anger?" Niu Rou Tang blinked and said, "I haven't thought of it yet, how about you give me an idea?" Mu Banban said: "It depends on whether the princess wants to vent her anger or vent her anger." Niu Niu Tang seemed to think that his use of the term was very interesting, and he chuckled and said, "How about venting your anger?" Mu Banban said: "Take off their trousers and beat them hard, that's all." Beef Soup asked, "Would you like to vent your anger?" Mu Banban said: "Cut off their heads, dry them in the sun and reward them with wine." Niu Tang smiled and said, "Good idea, really good idea, no wonder Brother Nine likes you." Mu Banban's idea is indeed insidious. It's fine if your head is cut off. Knowing that your head is cut off and you have to be dried and served with wine is already very unpleasant. If you are really taken off your pants and spanked, it is even worse It's hard to die. The tall, lean man in black had no color on his face, but the honest monk still smiled nonchalantly. Situ was as rigid as a raging fire, with the strongest temper, and said sternly: "Since we have fallen into your hands, we will be killed and cut, and we will never frown. If you deliberately humiliate me, I... I will not forgive you even if I die." you!" Situ Gang is not the kind of person who would easily show weakness and admit defeat, but he said "I will not forgive you if I die", but he was very discouraged. He obviously knew that he was not the opponent of beef soup, and he was willing to accept his fate. . Niu Niu Tang Yanran said: "You can't do anything to me when you're alive, but how can you not spare me when you're dead? Do you want to become a big-headed ghost and come and strangle me in the middle of the night?" Situ just gritted his teeth, sweat dripping down his face like raindrops, suddenly roared, and slapped Tianling heavily with his backhand. The five fingers of his hand are almost the same length, the nails are completely bald, and the center of the palm is faintly black. The iron sand palm has been practiced at least 80% of the heat. This palm, even if it is slapped on the top of his head, is also fatal.Unexpectedly, with a flash of Niu Tang's body, and a flick of his slender and soft fingers like an orchid, Situ Gang's arm immediately drooped down, and he couldn't even move. Mu Banban immediately applauded loudly: "Good work!" Beef soup said lightly: "This is just the simplest move in Ruyi Lanhua's hands, it's not a good effort!" She said it lightly, but Lu Xiaofeng was shocked when he heard it. Although the Ruyi Orchid Hand has a beautiful name, it is one of the most terrifying kung fu in the martial arts. It's not heavy. In fact, this arm has been useless forever. After one time, the injury broke out, and the pain was even worse. Apart from cutting off this arm at the root, there is absolutely no other way to save it. Situ Gang's face was ashen, and he said loudly, "You...you won't even let me die?" Even though he was shouting loudly, his voice was still trembling unavoidably, it was obvious that he was extremely frightened. 牛肉汤叹了口气，道：“好死不如歹活，你为什么偏偏想死？就算你自知得罪了我，犯了死罪，也可以找个人来替你死的。” 司徒刚怔了怔，忍不住问道：“怎么替我死？” 牛肉汤道：“这里的人你可以随便挑一个，只要能胜得了他一招半式，我就要他替你死。” 木一半道：“这里的人我看他连一个都不敢找。” 牛肉汤笑道：“一个人他不敢找，半个人呢？” 木一半叹了口气，道：“我算来算去，他最多也只能找我这半个人。” 司徒刚大喝道：“不错，我正是要找你。” 喝声中他已出掌。 群英镖局威名远播，总镖头的年俸五万石，几乎已经跟当朝的一品大员差不多。 他的妻子温柔贤慧，临行的晚上还跟他亲密宛如新婚。他的子女聪明孝顺，长女已许配给他舅父中原大侠熊天健的长孙，门当户对，亲上加亲。只要能活着，他当然不想死，他虽然右臂已不能动，幸好他练的本就是单掌，这一掌击出，招沉力猛，不愧是金刀百胜，铁掌无敌。 木一半却已只剩下半个人，身子斜斜一穿，肋下铁杖斜刺，竟以这根铁杖当作了长剑，一招“笑指天南”，正是嫡传的海南派剑法。 海南剑术专走偏锋，他只剩下半个人，恰巧将海南剑术的精髓发挥得淋漓尽致，只听“嗤，嗤，嗤”三声响，一声惨呼，四尺长的铁杖自司徒刚左肋刺入，右背穿出，一股鲜血箭一般标了出来，化做了满天血雨。 牛肉汤拍手笑道：“好剑法。” 木一半笑道：“这只不过是天残十三式中简单的三招，算不了什么好剑法。” 他学着牛肉汤刚才的口气，故意说得轻描淡写，陆小凤却又吃了一惊。 天残十三式本是海南派镇山剑法，可惜三十年前就已绝传，连海南派当代的掌门人也只练成其中两式，这半个人却随随便便就使出了三招，将司徒刚立毙于剑下。 这半个人究竟是从哪里来的？以他的武功剑法，为什么要屈身为奴，做那位九少爷的随从？ 那高瘦精悍的黑衣人显然也认出了他的剑法，正吃惊的看着他，目中充满恐惧。 木一半笑道：“罗寨主的'燕子飞云纵'和一着'飞燕去来'，纵横天下，杀人无数，我也久仰得很了，却不知罗寨主是否也看上了我这半个人？” 这黑衣人竟是十二连环坞第一寨的寨主黑燕子罗飞，此人以轻功成名，一招“飞燕去来”，的确是武林少见的杀手绝技。 他眼睛看着木一半，脚下却在往后退，突然转身掠起，向醉卧在九曲桥头栏杆下的一个人扑了过去。这一招正是他的绝技“飞燕去来”，身法巧妙，姿势优美，就算一击不中，也可以全身而退。 栏杆下这个人却已烂醉如泥，头上一顶紫金冠也几乎掉了下来，口水沿着嘴角往下直滴，看来简直就像是个死人。死人当然比半个人更好对付，罗飞显然早就看准了他。 陆小凤在心里叹了口气，不管怎么样，这位贺尚书刚才总算给了他一杯酒，现在若是糊里糊涂的在醉梦中死了，他倒有些不忍。 只听一声惨呼，接着又是噗通一响，水花四溅，一个人落入池水中，踪影不见，过了很久，才有一缕血水从荷花绿叶间浮起，一个人的脸就像是花瓣般在荷叶间露出，却是罗飞。 贺尚书翻了个身，又睡着了，头上的紫金冠终于落下。 木一半立刻走过去，恭恭敬敬的将这紫金冠又为他戴在头上，道：“醉卧流云七杀手，惟有饮者得真传，贺尚书真好功夫。” 牛肉汤笑道：“木一半真好眼力，连绝传已八十年的醉中七杀手都能看得出。” 老实和尚叹了口气，道：“一杀就已要了命，又何必七杀？” 牛肉汤道：“和尚也想试试？” 老实和尚道：“和尚还清醒得很，为什么要去跟醉鬼纠缠？” 牛肉汤道：“你准备找谁？” 木一半道：“是不是想找我？” 老实和尚道：“和尚至少还是一个人，不跟半个人斗。” 牛肉汤道：“我是一个人。” 老实和尚道：“和尚至少还是个大男人，不跟女人斗。” 牛肉汤道：“我爹爹是个男人。” 老实和尚道：“和尚还年轻力壮，不跟老头子斗。” 那边几个人还在聚精会神的掷着骰子，这里人已死了两个，他们却连看都没有往这里看过一眼，这种事他们好像早已司空见惯。别人的性命，在他们眼中看来，好像还不及一粒骰子重要。 牛肉汤道：“你看那几个人怎么样？” 老实和尚道：“和尚四大皆空，看见赌鬼们就害怕。” 牛肉汤笑道：“你左挑右选都看不中，倒不如让我来替你选一个。” 老实和尚道：“谁？” 牛肉汤随手向前一指，道：“你看他怎么样？” 她的纤纤玉手，指着的正是陆小凤。 陆小凤的心一跳，老实和尚已回头看着他，笑道：“和尚说老实话，和尚若是想活命，好像也只有选他了。” 牛肉汤大笑，道：“原来和尚的眼力也不差。” 陆小凤立刻摇头，大声道：“差差，简直差上十万八千里。” 牛肉汤道：“差在哪里？” 陆小凤道：“我跟这和尚是朋友，他绝不会想要我的命，我也不想要他的命。” 老实和尚道：“和尚本来的确不想要你命的，可是现在……” 他叹了口气，道：“别人的性命再珍贵，总不如自己的性命重要，和尚这条命再不值钱，好歹总是和尚自己的。” 这确实也是老实话，老实和尚说的都是老实话。 陆小凤道：“可是和尚既然四大皆空，若连朋友的命都要，岂非大错特错，大差特差？” 老实和尚道：“好死不如歹活，活狗也能咬死狮子几口，到了性命交关时，就算差一点，也说不得了。” 陆小凤叹了口气，道：“你为什么不去找别人，偏偏要找上我？” 老实和尚道：“因为你差。” 陆小凤道：“我差在哪里？” 老实和尚道：“你既不会'天残十三式'，又不会'如意兰花手'，岂非大差特差？” 陆小凤道：“可是我并不想要你的命。” 老实和尚道：“你不想要和尚的命，和尚却想要你的命，所以你更差得厉害，非死不可。” 牛肉汤冷冷道：“他这样的人，多死一个少一个，你还不动手？” 老实和尚道：“姑娘说的是，和尚这就动手。” 他居然说动手就动手，破布袈裟的大袖一卷，一股劲风直卷陆小凤的面目。 原来陆小凤那两根手指他还是害怕的，生怕自己身上一样东西被捏住，就算不被捏死，也是万万受不了的。 可是一只破布袈裟的袖子，随便他怎么捏，都没关系了，何况衣袖上真力贯注，利如刀锋，能捏住他这一招的人，江湖中已不多。 小老头一直袖手旁观，忽然道：“陆小凤，你是要替这和尚死，还是要替自己留着这条命，你可得仔细想清楚。” 其实这问题陆小凤早已想过无数遍，他虽然不忍看着老实和尚死在这里，却也不愿让老实和尚看着他死。 小老头这句话刚说完，只听“嘶”的一声，老实和尚一只衣袖已被撕了下来，露出条比女人还白的手臂，显然已多年没有晒过太阳。 人影闪动间，仿佛有无数只蝴蝶飞舞，他身上一件破布袈裟，转眼间已被撕得七零八落。 陆小凤大声道：“和尚若是再不住手，小和尚只怕就要露出来了。” 这句话说得实在不雅，可是要想让老实和尚住手，就只有说这种话让他听了难受。 谁知老实和尚居然一点也不在乎，嘴里喃喃道：“小和尚露面，总比大和尚挺尸好。” 一句话没说完，脚下忽然被司徒刚的尸体一绊，几乎跌倒。 这正是陆小凤的大好机会，陆小凤却似还在考虑，是不是应该乘机出手。 老实和尚却不考虑，乘着这一绊之势，忽然抱住了陆小凤的腰，自己先在地上一滚，忽然间已压到陆小凤身上。 牛肉汤拍手笑道：“想不到和尚还会蒙古人摔跤的功夫。” 老实和尚道：“这不是蒙古摔跤，这是扶桑岛上的柔道，除了和尚外，会的人倒真还不多，陆小凤只怕连见都没有见过，所以才会被和尚制住。” 这也是老实话，陆小凤的确已被压得死死的，连动都不能动。 小老头却道：“这句话不老实。” “老实和尚从来不说不老实的话。” 小老头道：“他就算没见过这种功夫，本来也不会被你制住的，若不是因为他不忍杀你，现在和尚只怕连老实话都不能说了。” 老实和尚想了想，道：“就算他真的让了和尚一手，和尚也可以装作不知道。” 小老头叹了口气，道：“这倒真是老实话。” 陆小凤伏在地上，腰眼被他膝盖抵住，手臂也被反摔过去，想到自己刚才痛失良机，再听见这种老实话，几乎要被活活气死。 真的被气死倒也痛快，现在他还不知道自己要怎么死法。 那边的赌局终于散了，仿佛有人在问。 “我输了七万两，你呢？” “我比你只多不少。” 既然有人输了这么多，当然也有人要满载而归了。只可惜这个满载而归的并不是他。 他非但早已将自己的人输了出去，连这条命都要赔上！
