Chapter 9 Chapter Eight: Casinos Turned into Temples

Tian Sisi had already made a mistake once, and this time she must not get it wrong again. It's a pity that she doesn't know what the real Qin Ge looks like. Fortunately, Jin Dabeard also came over at this time, holding a large stack of silver notes in his hand. What a thick stack of silver bills. The big bearded man smiled and said: "This is a little meaning, please accept it." Qin Ge said, "Okay." He is indeed a very straightforward person, not at all polite. The bearded Jin said: "Besides that, we have a little respect for Hero Qin." Qin Ge said: "What else do you want to give me?"

The bearded man said, "A chance." Qin Ge said, "What chance?" The bearded Jin said: "Give Daxia Qin a chance to make money once and for all." Qin Ge laughed loudly and said, "Okay, this will make you happy." The golden beard is also laughing, laughing like an owl whose beard has been plucked. He smiled and said, "I don't know what Qin Daxia wants to bet on?" Qin Ge said: "It's the same as betting on anything." The big bearded man clapped his hands and said: "That's right, whatever you bet on, the one who should win will win." He smiled, and said again: "The one who should lose can't win anything by betting casually."

So Qin Ge lost. He should lose. Because it is said that the God of Gamblers hates alcoholics the most, so no matter who gets drunk, what should be won will become lost, and lose everything, and lose very quickly. "One chance to make money." This sentence usually means: "One chance to lose everything." You just have to go to the casino and you will have this opportunity any time. Everyone is watching, everyone is sighing for him...whether it is true or not, the sigh is always the sigh. After all, the chances of "Four Five Six" encountering "Leopard" are not many.

Someone else was whispering: "I'm afraid that only people like Qin Daxia will encounter this kind of thing!" What is this nonsense! "Yes, this also requires luck." Is it still luck to lose all?This is simply outrageous. "Although Qin Daxia lost this time, he must be very lucky in other things. Gambling luck is not good luck. People who gamble with bad luck are always very lucky." Well, this sentence seems to have suddenly become a little reasonable, at least Qin Ge himself thinks it is very reasonable. Because he had drunk another four or five catties of wine.

If a person has already filled ten catties of wine in his stomach, there will be no unreasonable things in the world. In the same way, if a man's stomach is full of wine, his pockets must be empty. Everyone is still gathered around the table, looking at the three dice in the bowl. Three six. The golden bearded man rolled three sixes casually. You can't help but admire this kind of person. Qin Ge suddenly realized that Jin Dabeard was more of a "hero" than he was. In the casino, only those who can afford to gamble are heroes. So Qin Ge walked out from the crowd. He was walking staggeringly, and suddenly bumped into a person.

a monk. Qin Ge frowned and murmured, "Why do I keep meeting monks today?...It's no wonder I'm about to lose." The monk was smiling and said, "How many monks did the benefactor meet today?" Qin Ge said: "Even you two." The monk smiled and said, "There is only one of me." Qin Ge raised his head, looked at him carefully, and suddenly realized that this monk was still the same monk just now, with a round face, and when he smiled, he looked like a Maitreya Buddha.Not only the monk is here, but the Taoist priest and scholar are also back. Qin Ge blinked and said, "Why am I here?"

The monk said: "You are here." Qin Ge looked around and turned his head in all directions. His eyes can no longer move, and when his eyes want to look to the left, his head must also turn to the left. The monk said with a smile: "This is not hell, but it is not far from hell." Casinos and hell are not much different sometimes. Qin Ge rubbed his eyes and said, "Didn't you just leave?" The monk nodded and said, "If you can come, you can go." Qin Ge said: "Why are you here again?" The monk said: "If you can go, you can come."

Qin Ge thought for a while, then murmured: "It makes sense, why does what the monk said always seem to make sense." The monk said, "Because a monk is a monk." Qin Ge thought for a while, then suddenly laughed, and said, "It makes sense, this time you are the ones who are right." The monk said, "Do you know why I left just now?" Qin Ge shook his head. The monk said: "To make you earn fifty thousand taels of silver." Qin Ge laughed loudly and said, "I've already said that you are a sensible person." The monk said, "Do you know why we are here now?"

Qin Ge said: "For me to earn fifty thousand taels of silver?" The monk said: "No." Qin Ge said: "As soon as you leave, I'll earn fifty thousand taels of silver. Once I lose everything, what's wrong with you coming back?" The monk said: "There is only one bad thing." Qin Ge said: "Which one is not good?" The monk said: "You lost too fast." Qin Ge laughed again and said, "That's why you don't want to leave this time." The monk said: "No." Qin Ge's eyes suddenly widened, and he said loudly, "Are you really not leaving?"

The monk said: "Monks don't lie." Qin Ge said: "Okay, if you really don't leave, I will really leave." He walked out laughing. When he reached the door, he turned back suddenly and said, "I'll take a step first and wait for you there." The monk said, "Where are you going?" Qin Ge pointed to the top and said, "Do you think I can go up now?" The monk smiled. It is really not easy for the people below to go up. Even if you have gone up, if you are not careful, you will still fall down. Much faster when falling. Qin Ge's body kept sinking, as if he was really going to sink to the ground.

Fortunately, Tian Sisi was beside him supporting him. When someone like Qin Ge walked out of the casino, no one escorted him out. Tian Sisi was very upset and angry for him. Even if Qin Ge is nothing special, at least he is always their big customer, and he has lost so much, Jin Dabeard should always take care of him. In fact, she had asked Jin Dabeard angrily just now: "Can't you see that he is already drunk?" The golden beard smiled and said, "The wine here is free." Tian Sisi said: "Since you know he is drunk, why did you let him go alone?" Jin Dazi said: "This is not a prison, no matter who wants to leave, we can't stop it." Tian Sisi said: "You should at least take care of him." Jin Dazi asked: "How do you want me to take care of him?" Tian Sisi said: "At least we should find a place for him to rest, we can't let him pass out drunk on the road." The big bearded man said coldly: "This is not an inn either." Tian Sisi said: "But you are his friend." The bearded Jin said: "People who run casinos have no friends." Tian Sisi said: "Don't you want him to come again next time?" Jin Dazi said: "As long as he has money, he will still come next time. Even if he crawled out this time, he will still come next time." I’m not here to make friends.” Tian Sisi said: "You can't make an exception for him?" Jin Dazi said: "Why is there an exception?" Tian Sisi said: "He is finally a famous hero." The golden beard said coldly: "There are neither friends nor heroes here." This is the final answer of Jin Dabeard. In their eyes, there are only two kinds of people in the world, one is winners and the other is losers. Losers are never worthy of sympathy. There's probably only one person in the world worse off than a loser—a loser who's drunk. Qin Ge wasn't completely drunk, at least not yet. He finally realized that someone was supporting him, but it was a long time before he realized who was supporting him. He squinted his eyes for a long time before realizing it, then suddenly smiled and said, "So you're drunk too." Tian Sisi said: "I didn't drink a sip of wine. How could I be drunk?" Qin Ge said: "If you're not drunk, why do you want me to support you?" Tian Sisi sighed: "It's not you who are helping me, it's me who is helping you!" Qin Ge laughed again, pointed at Tian Sisi's nose, and said, "You still say you're not drunk? Look, your nose is so drunk that it reaches your ears, and one nose has become two." Tian Sisi could not wait to throw him into the gutter all at once, gritted her teeth and said, "Can you stand up straighter?" Qin Ge said, "I can't." Tian Sisi asked, "Why?" Qin Ge pointed down, and said: "Because I want to go down." He lowered his voice again, making a very mysterious look, and said, "Do you know why I want to go down?" Tian Sisi said bitterly: "Is it because there are no monks there?" Qin Ge laughed and said, "It's not bad at all, the monk has already gone to the casino to read scriptures." He bent over laughing, laughing so hard he couldn't even breathe. Tian Sisi looked at him, annoyed and funny, really didn't know where to send him. Qin Ge's men rushed out suddenly, rushed to the corner, and vomited non-stop. He vomited a lot, but Tian Sisi still hoped that he would vomit more. "Perhaps a drunken man becomes sober after he spits it out." She thought so, because she herself hadn't really been drunk yet. People who are really drunk will never become sober no matter what. After throwing up, they will get drunk and become even more drunk. After Qin Ge vomited, he also felt drunk, and immediately lay down. In less than a blink of an eye, he was already snoring like thunder. Tian Sisi was really anxious, and said loudly: "Hey! Get up quickly, how can you sleep here." Qin Ge couldn't hear it. Tian Sisi had to shake him vigorously. After shaking him for a long time, Qin Ge finally opened his eyes. His eyes were only a third of their usual size, but his tongue was three times bigger than usual. Tian Sisi said anxiously: "Get up quickly, you sleep here, if someone sees you drunk like this, it's fine, don't forget that you are a big man, a big hero." Qin Ge laughed and said, "A hero... How much is a hero worth? Can you sell it in a casino?" He lowered his voice again, and said quietly, "May I tell you a secret?" Tian Sisi could only smile wryly and said, "Say it." Qin Ge said: "I want to do everything, but I don't want to be a hero. That's really uncomfortable." As soon as this sentence was finished, he snored loudly again. Tian Sisi was completely helpless. The man could not be shaken awake, nor could he be hugged. When a person is drunk, it seems to be much heavier than usual. Tian Sisi really wanted to leave him here, but it's a pity that she is not such a hard-hearted person, not to mention that Qin Ge is a big hero and a big person in her mind. There are many girls who are more impatient than her. As long as they hear Qin Ge's name, they will be so excited that they seem to faint at any time. How would they feel if they saw Qin Ge like this? Of course they couldn't see it, so they were much luckier than Tian Sisi. Tian Sisi sighed, and saw the bright red silk scarf around Qin Ge's neck again. Red silk scarf, chivalry, bravery and enthusiasm. The red silk scarf is as red as the rising sun. But what has this red silk scarf become like now? like a rag. A rag that had just wiped seven or eight tables, covered with sweat, wine, and something just spit out of Qin Ge's mouth. Those passionate girls in the rivers and lakes, if they saw the red silk scarf around his neck now, how would they feel in their hearts? Tian Sisi didn't even dare to think about it. "Anyway, he was just drunk, and everybody gets drunk sometimes, and that's not an unforgivable sin." Tian Sisi sighed softly again, squatted down, and wiped Qin Ge's face with her silk scarf. Of course her own silk scarf was also red, as red as a lover's blood. But her own blood was gradually beginning to feel less hot than it had been this morning. This was not to say that she was disappointed with Qin Ge, but because of her stomach. She can be sure that even if she wants to vomit now, she will have nothing to vomit. A man on an empty stomach, standing in a dark alley on a windy night like this, with a snoring drunk. How did you make her blood so hot? Its daybreak. The sky seemed to dawn suddenly, and when Tian Sisi saw the faint morning light on the opposite wall, she realized that she had actually slept just now. She herself didn't know how she fell asleep. Qin Ge was still lying beside the gutter, his snoring finally subsided. Tian Sisi stood up from the corner, her neck was numb and painful, she tried to turn her neck twice, and suddenly noticed another strange thing. There was an extra blanket on her body. She didn't have this blanket on her last night, because she was feeling very cold and hungry at that time, and she was sitting in this corner worrying, not knowing how to spend the night. She also thought about that big-headed ghost, who must be well fed, lying on the bed, and there might be a woman like Zhang Haoer next to him. That was the last thing on her mind. Then she suddenly fell asleep. "Where did this blanket come from?" A blanket is like a flatbread, it will never fall from the sky. Could it be that Qin Ge suddenly woke up in the middle of the night and found a blanket to cover her up? Qin Ge was still sleeping where he lay down, and his posture hadn't changed at all. Tian Sisi bit her lip and was stunned for a long time. After much deliberation, there was only one person who would cover her with this blanket. But she didn't believe that person would do this, she would rather not believe it. When Qin Ge was standing, he stood very straight and upright, but his sleeping posture was really not good. The way he sleeps there is like a shrimp. Fortunately, this is a dead-end alley, and only the back doors of a few families are in this alley. Last night, she was confused, and she didn't know how she came to this alley, and now she began to feel lucky. As long as someone sees Miss Tian sleeping in this alley, it will be really embarrassing. Looking at the sky, it was already bright, and someone might come out from the back doors of those houses at any time. Tian Sisi made up her mind to shake Qin Ge awake this time no matter what. She shook really hard. Qin Ge suddenly yelled, finally opened his eyes, held his head in his hands, and yelled strangely: "What are you doing, my head is almost split open by you." Tian Sisi bit her lip and said: "It's best to split it open, just take this opportunity to wash your head." Now that Qin Ge saw who she was, he suddenly smiled and said, "So it's you, why did you come here?" Tian Sisi said bitterly: "Because I met a drunk." She was originally determined to be as gentle and considerate to Qin Ge as possible, not only to make Qin Ge feel that she is a very beautiful woman now, but she will also be a good wife in the future. But when her young lady lost her temper, she had already forgotten all these things. Qin Ge held his head in his hand, still sighing incessantly. Looking at his frowning face, Tian Sisi couldn't help but said: "Are you feeling bad?" Qin Ge said with a bitter face: "It's extremely uncomfortable, it's almost worse than a serious illness." Tian Sisi said: "Why are you so uncomfortable?" Qin Ge said: "As long as you get drunk the first night, you will definitely feel bad the next day." Tian Sisi said: "Since you know, why do you still drink like hell?" Qin Ge said seriously: "A man has to act like a man when he drinks." Tian Sisi sighed, and said: "Do you think that drinking like that can show you are a hero? You are wrong, it just shows that you are an alcoholic!" Qin Ge said: "Whether it's a hero or a drunkard, they're all men, and they're better than sissies." Tian Sisi said: "You sissy, at least you won't suffer as much as you do now." Qin Ge shook his head and said, "It's better for you women not to ask too many questions about us men." He finally stood up, patted Tian Sisi on the shoulder, and said, "Let's go, I'll buy you a drink." Tian Sisi opened her eyes wide and said, "Do you still want to drink?" Qin Ge said: "Of course I want to drink." Tian Sisi said: "Aren't you afraid of discomfort?" Qin Ge said: "It's one thing to be sad, it's another thing to drink alcohol, it's another thing to be drunk, and it's another thing for you women to understand." He smiled and said again : "Besides, what I'm drinking now is called Resurrection Wine, once I drink it, I won't feel uncomfortable." Tian Sisi said: "Wouldn't it be the same tomorrow if you drank too much?" Qin Ge said with a smile: "We'll talk about tomorrow's affairs tomorrow. Who can control so much. Besides, tomorrow will be even more uncomfortable. That's also tomorrow's business. You can still drink today." Tian Sisi sighed, and murmured: "I only now know how the drunkard got here." Qin Ge didn't listen to what she was saying at all, patted the stains on his body, pulled the silk scarf around his neck, stood up straight, puffed up his chest, and walked out of the alley. It's one thing to lie by the gutter by yourself, but it's one thing to puff up your chest when you go outside. Even if the whole body is suffering terribly, there must be no look of discomfort on the face. Now, although he may not look radiant, at least he has heroism again. The bright red silk scarf has been pulled flat and began to flutter in the wind again. Tian Sisi also had to admit that the material of his silk scarf was really good. Qin Ge was waiting for her at the entrance of the alley, and when she walked over, he smiled and said, "What do you think of me now?" Tian Sisi couldn't help but smiled and said: "At least it doesn't look like a drunk cat anymore." She couldn't help but asked again: "Where do you want to drink?" Qin Ge said: "Of course it's the biggest teahouse in this place." Tian Sisi said: "Teahouse?" Qin Ge said: "At this time, only the teahouse is open." Tian Sisi said: "The teahouse also sells wine?" Qin Ge said with a smile: "The teahouse has almost everything except tea." Tian Sisi couldn't help smiling again, but immediately frowned again, and said, "Do you have any money?" Qin Ge said, "No." He answered really simply. Tian Sisi frowned even tighter, and said: "If you don't have money, how can you buy wine?" Qin Ge said with a smile, "Do I still need to pay for my drinking?" Tian Sisi said: "What do you use if you don't use money?" Qin Ge straightened his chest and said, "As soon as I go in, there will be many people rushing to buy me a drink." Tian Sisi said: "Are you ashamed to ask someone else to invite you?" Qin Ge said: "What's there to be embarrassed about? It's their brilliance that they invited me. I drank their wine to give them face." He smiled, and said again: "Being a famous hero is also a good thing. It's not entirely useless." Tian Sisi also laughed. She suddenly found that although this person was not as great as she imagined, he was much more honest than she imagined. After all, he is still young. Although he has many shortcomings, he also has a cute side. He is a hero, but also a person. A living, flesh and blood man. Tian Sisi said with a smile: "If people saw how drunk you were last night, they would definitely not invite you." Qin Ge continued: "People can't see that. I only let others see how bold I am when I gamble and how bold I am when I drink. When I get drunk and lose everything, I'm so miserable. I will never let others see it." He smiled again, and continued: "Did you also hear that I was hit with hundreds of dollars?" Tian Sisi nodded and said, "I've heard it at least hundreds of times." Qin Ge said: "Have you ever heard that after I was stabbed, I crawled out on the ground, woke up in the middle of the night and rolled all over the floor in pain, crying for help?" Tian Sisi said: "No." Qin Ge smiled and said, "That's right, you should understand what I mean by now." Tian Sisi did understand. What people in the rivers and lakes can see and hear is only his brilliant side. But forget that behind the light, there must be a dark side. Not only Qin Ge was like this, but throughout the ages, those great heroes, great heroes, there are probably very few exceptions. This is like people only seeing the glory and majesty of the general, but forgetting the dead bones of thousands of people on the battlefield. Tian Sisi sighed and said, "Unexpectedly, you know a lot." Qin Ge said: "After so many years in the rivers and lakes, one will learn something more or less." Tian Sisi blinked and said, "Do you know what kind of person I saw you as last night?" Qin Ge shook his head. Tian Sisi said: "I regard you as a reckless man, a country bumpkin." Qin Ge said, "You bumpkin?" Tian Sisi said: "Because you don't even know who Zhang Zifang is." Qin Ge suddenly blinked and said, "You think I really don't know?" Tian Sisi said: "You know?" Qin Ge said: "Zhang Zifang is Zhang Liang, one of the three heroes in the early Han Dynasty. According to history books, although he looks gentle and gentle like a virgin, he is ambitious. Just because of Bo Lang's spine, he has been famous for thousands of years." Tian Sisi's eyes widened in surprise, and she lost her voice: "You really know?" Qin Ge smiled and said, "It's not fake at all." Tian Sisi said: "Then why did you say that like that last night?" Qin Ge said, "I did it on purpose." Tian Sisi said: "Deliberately? Why are you pretending to be stupid on purpose?" Qin Ge said: "Because I know that everyone admires me, just because I am such a person who doesn't understand anything, only knows how to fight desperately, gamble desperately and drink desperately." Tian Sisi said: "Why do other people worship this kind of person?" Qin Ge said: "Because they can't do it themselves." He smiled, and continued: "No matter what you do, it's not easy to work hard." Tian Sisi sighed and said, "I understand, because I have seen you suffer." Qin Ge said: "It's not bad at all. If you want to work hard, you must first be prepared to suffer." Tian Sisi said: "But why don't you be a hard-working and smart hero? Wouldn't others admire you more like that?" Qin Ge said: "That way others won't admire it." Tian Sisi asked, "Why?" Qin Ge said: "Because there are many people like that, at least I'm not the only one." Tian Sisi said: "If you are also such a person, others will not be surprised, right?" Qin Ge smiled and said: "That's not bad at all. It's because of my curiosity that I have such a big name today, and I have become the idol in the hearts of those young people." He seemed to be feeling a little bit emotional, so he couldn't help but sigh In a calm tone, he said: "If I become another person, others will definitely feel very disappointed with me." Tian Sisi said: "So when you are drunk, you will know that this kind of heroic taste is not good." Qin Ge said: "Not bad." Tian Sisi said: "But there are many kinds of heroes, why do you choose this one?" Qin Ge said: "Because others have long regarded me as this kind of person, and there is no way to change it now." Tian Sisi said: "Do you want to change yourself?" Qin Ge said, "I don't want to." Tian Sisi asked, "Why?" Qin Ge said: "Because I'm gradually getting used to it, and sometimes I even think it's true to do so." Tian Sisi said: "Actually?" Qin Ge sighed: "Actually, I can't tell whether it's true or not." Tian Sisi was silent for a long time, then suddenly he let out a long sigh and said, "I don't understand." Qin Ge said: "You don't need to understand, because this is life." Tian Sisi pondered for a long time, then nodded slowly, and sighed: "When I didn't see you, I never dreamed that you were such a person." Qin Ge said: "What kind of person do you think I am?" Tian Sisi rolled her eyes and said, "What do you think?" Qin Ge said with a smile: "I think you will regard me as a great person, so I must buy you a drink." Qin Ge may not be a real big man, not a god, but in the eyes of people in the world, he is indeed a very popular hero. Wherever he went, people welcomed him, adored him, and cheered him on. Tian Sisi also drank now. Now they were walking on a very quiet path, with high walls on both sides, and branches protruding from the walls, covering them from the hot summer sun at noon. Tian Sisi suddenly laughed and said, "I didn't expect so many people to buy you a drink." Qin Ge's eyes became very bright, because he was drunk, but not drunk. He looked at the branches in the high wall, and said slowly: "Do you know why they welcome me like that?" Tian Sisi said: "Because you are a hero?" Qin Ge smiled and said, "Of course that's one of the reasons, but it's not important." Tian Sisi said, "What's important?" Qin Ge said: "The important thing is that they know that I am not a threat to them, because I am just a very rude, impulsive, but not very sensible brat, and I have nothing to do with them." He smiled a little sadly , and continued: "They like me and welcome me, sometimes just like movie fans like a famous actor, it will never conflict with their own interests." Tian Sisi smiled and said, "You really think too low of yourself." Qin Ge said: "I don't underestimate myself. I also have my success. As far as I know, throughout the ages, there are not many famous heroes in the world who are as popular as me." Tian Sisi said: "Do you think that no one really worships you?" Qin Ge smiled bitterly: "Of course there are, but those are just children who haven't fully grown up, for example..." Tian Sisi said: "For example, me?" Qin Ge said: "I'm talking about the past, of course you are different now." Tian Sisi asked, "Why?" Qin Ge said: "Because you have seen many things that others cannot see." Tian Sisi pondered, and said slowly: "Yes, I have indeed seen some of your shortcomings that others cannot see, but I have seen some of your advantages that others cannot see." Qin Ge said, "Oh?" Tian Sisi said: "Although you have many flaws, you also have many cute things." Qin Ge smiled and said, "I really have?" Tian Sisi said: "Really, you are much cuter than most people." She smiled, and said: "But a man like you can only be a good friend, not a good husband." Qin Ge said: "Did you want to marry me before?" Tian Sisi lowered her head, blushed and said with a smile: "It does mean that." Qin Ge said: "What about now? Are you disappointed in me?" Tian Sisi said: "Absolutely not, it's just..." Qin Ge said: "It's just that you don't feel very satisfied?" Tian Sisi said: "No." Qin Ge said: "What is that?" Tian Sisi sighed softly, and said: "Maybe it's just because I thought highly of you before, but now I know you better." Qin Ge said: "It's because you already know me that you don't want to marry me? Why do girls always like to marry someone they don't know?" Tian Sisi didn't answer, she didn't know how to answer. She was not disappointed with Qin Ge, because Qin Ge was indeed a hero. A hero they cannot understand. But heroes of any kind are human beings, not gods—and even gods aren't completely without flaws.What about people? Now she just felt that there was no way for her to marry Qin Ge again, because the Qin Ge she saw was not the Qin Ge in her fantasy. She was not disappointed, but felt a little melancholy, a kind of grown-up melancholy. She suddenly realized that she seemed to have grown up a lot. Qin Ge was still staring at her. She gently took Qin Ge's hand, forced a smile and said, "Although I can't marry you, I can be a good friend forever." Qin Ge didn't say anything. He wanted to say something, but he didn't say it. Tian Sisi bit her lip and said softly, "You...are you disappointed?" Qin Ge stared at her, suddenly laughed, and said: "How could I be disappointed, all women in the world can marry as wives, but how many friends in the world can understand me like you do?" Tian Sisi's eyes moved, she sighed again, and said, "But why do you let me know you so well?" Qin Ge's eyes were also flickering, and he said with a smile, "Maybe it's just because of my bad luck." Tian Sisi blinked and said sweetly, "Maybe it's just because of your good luck." Qin Ge laughed again, and said: "The person who can marry you in the future will be really lucky." Tian Sisi lowered her head and suddenly stopped talking. For some reason, she actually thought of that big head again. where is he?Are you with Tian Xin? After a long time, she raised her head and said, "I seem to have walked this road before." Qin Ge nodded. Tian Sisi said: "Going forward, it seems to be Jin Dabeard's casino." Qin Ge nodded again. Tian Sisi frowned and said, "Do you still want to go there?" Qin Ge smiled and said, "I want to go see that monk again, don't you think he's weird?" Tian Sisi said: "It's really strange, but I'm afraid you don't really want to find him." Qin Ge said, "Oh!" Tian Sisi pursed her lips and said with a smile, "I'm afraid your hands are itchy again." Qin Ge stared and said, "I really want to gamble, what do I use to gamble? Use my fingers?" Tian Sisi smiled and said, "Even if you don't have the money to gamble, it's good to go and watch other people gamble." Qin Ge smiled and said, "You were wrong this time." Tian Sisi said: "Then what do you want to do, really want to see that monk?" Qin Ge smiled mysteriously, and said slowly, "That's right, because I find this monk much more interesting than other monks." Monks should not be interesting. If monks are interesting, others will be boring. Monks chant scriptures in the temple. Gamblers gamble money in casinos, whether it is worthwhile or not, it is at least normal. But if monks recite scriptures in casinos, and gamblers gamble money in temples, it is very abnormal, ridiculous and strange. Strange things always have strange reasons. Strange things always lead to other strange things. "Why do you always say casinos are the closest to hell?" "Because people who often go to casinos can easily sink into hell." "Casinos are really so scary?" "It's really scary. If someone in your family is a gambler, you will know how terrible it is." "Oh!" "If the head of the family is a gambler, the life of the family is like hell." "I've heard that if a person is addicted to gambling, sometimes he even loses his wife and son." "Oh, that's really terrible." "If the casino is the closest to hell in the world, then what is the closest to the Western Paradise?" "temple?" "That's right. But has it ever occurred to you that casinos and temples have something in common?" "No, the two places have nothing to do with each other at all." "Have you noticed that casinos and temples are usually in relatively remote and secluded places?" "I just thought of it now, but I still can't figure it out?" "I can't figure it out." "I already know why casinos are located in relatively remote places, but why are temples like this? People who go to temples to burn incense are neither shameful nor illegal." Why are temples built in remote places?Because the farther the temple is built, the more remote it is, the more mysterious it is! Have a sense of mystery? Mystery is usually the reason that most arouses people's curiosity and admiration. Yes, people are often intimidated by things they don't understand. Because of fear, one cannot but worship. "And people usually like to burn incense in some remote places, because this way can show his piety." "You're almost right about everything, just a little bit." "A little bit worse?" "People who burn incense will definitely be very hungry after walking a long distance, and eating when very hungry always feels that the taste is particularly good." "That's why people always think that the green vegetables in the temple are very delicious." "You finally understand that vegetarian food is often one of the biggest reasons why people go to temples." "I know that many people feel the same way when they go to the temple to burn incense, just like going out in the countryside." "That's why smart monks must build temples in remote places." "Now I also think your words are very reasonable, but the monk will definitely die of anger when he hears it." "The monk can't die of anger." "why?" "Wine, sex, wealth, all things are empty, have you forgotten this sentence?" "That's right, since qi is empty, of course the monk won't die from qi." "Anyone who is mad is not a real monk." "So it's okay to be mad." "It doesn't matter at all." A lonely alley. At the end of the alley is Jin Dabeard's casino. Qin Ge and Tian Sisi have walked into this alley. At this time, dark clouds suddenly covered the sun, and there was a faint thunder in the dark clouds like a drum. The wind was blowing, and the sky was gloomy. Tian Sisi looked at the sky and said, "It seems that a heavy rain is coming soon." Qin Ge said: "When it rains, it's the time to gamble." Tian Sisi said: "Since you know that gambling is terrible, why do you still want to gamble?" Qin Ge smiled and said, "Because I'm neither a good person nor smart." Tian Sisi said sweetly: "You are just a hero." Qin Ge sighed: "Smart and good people usually don't become heroes." He suddenly shut his mouth, because he suddenly discovered that in the courtyard of the casino, there were clusters, patches, and strands of black clouds and mist being rolled up by the strong wind and flying all over the sky. It is said that it is cloud and mist, but it is not like cloud and mist. In this gloomy sky, it seems a bit indescribably mysterious and terrifying. Tian Sisi moved, "What is that?" Qin Ge shook his head, quickened his pace and walked over. The dilapidated gates of the casino swayed in the wind, making "bang bang" noises from time to time. The door was open and unattended. Why did this heavily guarded casino suddenly become open? Black mist was still flying in the yard. Qin Ge rushed over and picked up a handful. Tian Sisi just followed in and immediately asked, "What exactly is it?" Qin Ge didn't answer, but handed the things in his hand to Tian Sisi. 这东西软软的，轻轻的，仿佛是柔丝，又不是。 田思思失声道：“是头发。” 秦歌沉着道：“是头发。” 田思思道：“哪里来的那么多头发？” 满院子的头发在狂风中飞舞，看来的确说不出的诡秘恐怖。 秦歌缓缓地道：“不知道那和尚是不是还在里面？” 田思思道：“你为什么一定要找那和尚？” 秦歌道：“因为你问的话也许只有他一个人能解释。” He pushed open the door and walked in. He froze. 田思思跟着走进去。 田思思也怔住。 无论谁走进去一看，都要怔住。 和尚还在屋子里。 不是一个和尚，是一屋子和尚。 只有在庙里，你无论看到多少和尚都不会奇怪，更不会怔住。 但这里是赌场。 赌桌没有了，赌具没有了，赌客也没有了。 现在，这赌场里竟只有和尚。 几十个大大小小，老老少少的和尚，眼观鼻，鼻观心，双手合什，盘膝坐在地上，一眼看去，除了一颗颗光头外就再也没有别的。 每个头都剃得很光，光得发亮。 田思思忽然明白院子里那些头发是哪里来的了。 但她却还是不明白这些人为什么忽然都剃光了头做和尚。 屋子里很静，没有骰子声，没有洗牌声，没有吆喝声，也没有念经声。 和尚虽是和尚，但却不念经。 是不是因为他们还没有学会念经？ 秦歌正在找昨天那个会念经的和尚。 他慢慢地走过去，一个个地找，忽然在一个和尚面前停下了脚步。 田思思看到他面上吃惊的表情，立刻也跟了过去——他看到这和尚时的表情，简直好像忽然看到了个活鬼一样。 这和尚还是眼观鼻，鼻观心，端端正正地盘膝坐着，非但头剃得很光，胡子也刮得很光。 这和尚的脸好熟。 田思思看了半天，突然失声而呼：“金大胡子！” 这和尚赫然竟是金大胡子。 他旁边还有个和尚，一张脸就像是被雨点打过的沙滩。 “赵大麻子。” 这放印子钱的恶棍怎么会也做了和尚？ 秦歌盯着金大胡子，上上下下地看了很久，才拍了拍他的肩，道：“你是不是有病？” 金大胡子这才抬头看了他一眼，合什道：“施主在跟谁说话？” 秦歌道：“跟你，金大胡子。” “阿弥陀佛，金大胡子已死了，施主怎能跟他说话。” 秦歌道：“你不是金大胡子？” 金大胡子道：“小僧明光。” 秦歌又盯着他了半天，道：“金大胡子怎么会忽然死了？” 金大胡子道：“该死的就死。” 秦歌道：“不该死的呢？” 金大胡子道：“不该死的迟早也得死。” 他一直端端正正地盘膝而坐，脸上一点表情也没有，现在看见他的人，谁也不会相信他昨天还是个赌场的大老板。 现在他看来简直就像是修为严谨的高僧。 田思思眼珠子转动，忽然道：“金大胡子既已死了，他的老婆新婚夫人呢？” 一个人新婚时就开始怕老婆，而且怕得连胡子都肯刮光，那往往只有一种原因。 因为他爱他的老婆，爱得要命。 爱得要命时，通常也就会怕得要命。 田思思这一着实实打在金大胡子最要命的地方上了。 金大胡子虽然还在勉强控制着自己，但头上汗已流了下来。 田思思偷偷地向秦歌打了个眼色，道：“你想他的新婚夫人会到什么地方去了？” 秦歌笑了笑，忽然道：“他的人既已死了，老婆自然就嫁人了！” 田思思道：“改嫁？这么快？” 秦歌道：“该改嫁的，迟早总要改嫁的。” 田思思道：“嫁给谁呢？” 秦歌道：“也许是个道士，也许是个秀才，红花绿叶青莲藕，本来就是一家人。” 他的话还没有说完，金大胡子突然狂吼一声向他扑了过来，能做赌场的老板，手底下当然有两下子，只见他十指箕张如鹰爪，好像是恨不得一下就扼住秦歌的脖子。 秦歌的脖子刚往外面一缩，半空中忽然有根敲木鱼的棒槌飞了过来，“噗”的一声，在金大胡子的光头上重重敲了一下。 这一下敲得真不轻，金大胡子脑袋虽未开花，却也被敲得头晕眼花，连站都站不住了，连退好几步，“噗”地又坐到了那蒲团上。 “阿弥陀佛，善哉善哉。” 一个和尚口宣佛号，慢慢地走了过来，手里捧着个木鱼，却没有棒槌。 会念经的和尚终于出现了。 他慢慢地走到金大胡子面前，叹息着道：“色即是空，空即是色，这一关都看不破，怎么能出家做和尚？” 金大胡子全身发抖，嘶声道：“我本来就不想做和尚，是你逼着我……” 他的话还没说完，“噗”的一声，头上又被重重地敲了一下。 这和尚的手好像比棒槌还硬。 金大胡子竟被他一根手指敲得爬到地上去了，光头上立刻凸起了一大块。 这和尚道：“是谁逼你做和尚的？” 金大胡子道：“没……没有人。” 和尚道：“你想不想做和尚？” 金大胡子道：“想……想。” 和尚双手合什，道：“阿弥陀佛，苦海无边，回头是岸，放下屠刀，立地成佛……善哉善哉，南无阿弥陀佛，南无阿弥陀佛……” 他居然又开始念经了。 金大胡子却爬在地上，放声大哭了起来。 田思思看得怔住了，怔了半天，才回过头向秦歌苦笑道：“这和尚真的会念经。” 秦歌道：“不但会念经，还会敲人的脑袋。” 田思思道：“敲得比念经还好。” 秦歌道：“这次他念经虽没有选错地方，但却敲错了脑袋。” 田思思道：“他本该敲谁的脑袋？” 秦歌道：“他自己的。” 和尚忽然不念经了，回过头来看了他一眼，摇着头叹道：“原来又是你。” 秦歌道：“又是我。” 和尚道：“你怎么又来了？” 和尚道：“既然能走，为什么不能来？” 和尚道：“既已走了，就不该来的。” 秦歌道：“谁说的？” 和尚道：“和尚说的。” 秦歌道：“和尚凭什么说！” 和尚道：“和尚会'一指禅'，会敲人的脑袋。” 秦歌叹了口气，道：“看来这和尚好像要赶我走的样子。” 和尚道：“昨天你赶和尚走，今天和尚赶你走，岂非也很公道。” 秦歌道：“我若走了，有没有人给和尚五万两银子？” 和尚道：“没有。” 秦歌道：“那么我就不走。” 和尚沉下了脸，道：“你知道这是什么地方？” 秦歌道：“好像是个赌扬，又好像是个庙。” 和尚道：“昨天是赌场，今天是庙。” 秦歌笑了笑，道：“连妓女都可以到庙里烧香，我为什么不能来？” 和尚道：“你来干什么？” 秦歌道：“当然来赌钱，赌鬼一天不赌钱，全身都发痒。” 和尚道：“庙里不是赌钱的地方。” 秦歌道：“和尚既能到赌场里念经，赌鬼为什么不能到庙里赌钱。” 和尚瞪着他，忽然笑了，道：“这里都是和尚，谁跟你赌？” 秦歌道：“和尚。” 和尚道：“和尚不赌。” 秦歌道：“我佛如来也赌，和尚为什么不赌？” 和尚皱眉道：“我佛如来也赌，跟谁赌？” 秦歌道：“齐天大圣孙悟空。” 和尚道：“赌什么？” 秦歌道：“赌孙悟空翻不出他的手掌心。” 和尚又笑了，道：“就算你有理，和尚也没钱赌。” 秦歌道：“和尚会化缘，怎么会没有钱。” 和尚道：“到哪里化缘？” 秦歌道：“据我所知，这些和尚昨天还都是施主。” 和尚道：“哦！” 秦歌道：“尤其是金大胡子，他既已做了和尚，财即是空，他那万贯家财自然全部施舍给和尚了。”他笑了笑，道：“听说和尚化缘，有时比强盗抢钱还凶得多。” 和尚瞪着他，圆圆的脸忽然变得很阴沉，说道：“你会抢钱？” 秦歌道：“不会。” 和尚道：“会化缘？” 秦歌道：“也不会。” 和尚道：“你用什么来赌？” 秦歌道：“用我的人。” 和尚道：“人怎么能赌？” 秦歌笑道：“我若输了，就跟你做和尚，你若输了，这庙就归我，和尚也归我。” 和尚道：“你想怎么赌？” 秦歌道：“你既然会敲脑袋，我们不如就赌敲脑袋。” 和尚道：“敲谁的脑袋？” 秦歌道：“你敲我的，我敲你的，谁先敲着谁的，谁就是赢家。” 和尚冷冷道：“脑袋不是木鱼，会敲破的。” 秦歌道：“你知不知道哪种脑袋最容易敲破？” 和尚大笑，笑声中，他的人忽然不见了。 地上铺着一块块石板，石板突然裂开，和尚就掉了下去，然后石板就立刻关起。 这里本是个秘密的赌场，赌场里有翻板地道本不是件奇怪的事。 只有田思思才会觉得很吃惊，怔了半晌，忽然笑道：“看来他不想跟你赌。” 秦歌微笑道：“他也知道很容易敲破的一种脑袋，就是光头脑袋。” 田思思道：“你真想敲破他的脑袋？” 秦歌道：“只想敲破一点点。” 田思思道：“为什么，看来他并不是个坏人。” 秦歌道：“但他却不该逼着别人做和尚。” 田思思道：“天下开赌场的人若都做了和尚，这世界岂非太平得多？” 秦歌道：“这些和尚本来难道全是开赌场的？” 田思思道：“说不定是他们自己愿意……” 这句话还没有说完，一屋子的和尚忽然全都叫了起来：“我们不愿做和尚。” “好好的人，谁愿意做和尚？” “我家里有老有少，一大家人，日子过得也不错，为什么要做和尚？” 金大胡子叫得声音最响，居然跪了下来，道：“我们都是被逼的，还求秦大侠替我们主持公道。” 秦歌叹了口气，道：“我本来还以为你是条汉子，怎么被人一逼就做了和尚。” 金大胡子道：“因为我们若不做和尚，他就要我们的命。” 秦歌道：“你们二三十个人，难道还怕那一个和尚？” 金大胡子惨然道：“只因那和尚实在太凶，太厉害，何况还有秀才和道士帮着他。” 秦歌道：“你们加起来也不是他们的对手？” 金大胡子叹道：“若非如此，我们怎会全都做了和尚？” 田思思忍不住问道：“你们做和尚，对他是不是有好处？” 金大胡子道：“当然有好处。” 田思思道：“什么好处？” 金大胡子苦着脸道：“他说做和尚要四大皆空，所以我们一做了和尚，家财就全都变成他的了。” 田思思叹了口气，道：“这么样说来，连我都想敲破他的脑袋了。” 秦歌道：“不是敲破一点点，是敲个大洞。” 金大胡子摸着自己的脑袋，道：“可是他们三个人武功全都不弱，尤其是那和尚，实在太厉害。” 秦歌冷笑道：“比他更厉害的人我也见过不少。” 金大胡子展颜道：“那当然，只要秦大侠肯替我们作主，我们就有了生路。” 秦歌用脚踩了踩地上的石板，道：“这下面是什么地方？” 金大胡子道：“我也不清楚。” 秦歌道：“你是这赌场的大老板，怎么连你都不清楚？” 金大胡子苦笑道：“这屋子本来并不是我的。” 秦歌道：“是谁的？” 金大胡子道：“不知道。” 秦歌皱眉道：“你知道什么？” 金大胡子道：“我只知道这屋子的主人多年前就死了，全家人都死得干干净净。” 秦歌道：“后来就没有人搬进来过？” 金大胡子道：“有是有，只不过无论谁搬进来，不出三天就又搬走了。” 秦歌道：“为什么？” 金大胡子道：“因为这屋子闹鬼。” 田思思失声道：“闹鬼！” 金大胡子道：“这屋子本是家很有名的凶宅，谁都不敢问津，所以我们很便宜就买了下来。” 田思思道：“这里是不是真的有鬼呢？” 金大胡子道：“有时我们的确觉得很多地方不对，但仗着人多胆大，所以倒也不太在乎。” 田思思道：“是些什么地方不对？” 金大胡子沉喝着道：“有时地下会忽然发出奇奇怪怪的声音来，有时明明放在桌上的东西，忽然间就不见了。” 田思思看了秦歌一眼。 秦歌道：“现在你们打算怎么办呢？” 金大胡子道：“只要能不做和尚，叫我们干什么都愿意。” 秦歌想了想，道：“好，你们先走吧，等我弄清楚这里的事再说。” 金大胡子脸上露出为难恐惧之色，道：“和尚不放我们走的。” 秦歌冷笑道：“你用不着害怕，他若敢追，有我担着。” 金大胡子展颜笑道：“就算天大的事，有秦大侠出面，我们也就放心了。” 这句话还没有说完，满屋子和尚都已抢着往外逃，有的夺门，有的跳窗户，霎时间就全都走得精光。 没有人出来追，那和尚，道士和秀才全都没有露面。 田思思笑道：“看来你的威风真不小，吓得他们连头都不敢伸出来了。” 秦歌没有笑。 田思思道：“你想那和尚溜到哪里去了？” 秦歌道：“我只望他莫要真的被鬼提了去。”他又沉声道：“我看你不如也赶快走吧。” 田思思瞪大了眼睛，道：“你为什么要我走？” 秦歌勉强笑了笑，道：“这地方说不定真的有鬼。” 田思思脸色虽也有些变了，还是摇着头道：“我不走。” 秦歌道：“为什么？” 田思思道：“莫忘了我是你的朋友。” 秦歌道：“可是……” 田思思不让他说话，抢着又道：“既然我是你的朋友，就不能撇下你一个人在这里对付他们三个，就算你真的下地狱，我也只好跟着。” 这句话还没有说完，秦歌的人真的忽然就掉了下去。 “砰”的一声，翻开的石板又阖起。 田思思这才真的吃了一惊，用力去踢地上的石板。 随便她怎么用力也踢不开，石板很厚，一块块石板严丝合缝，谁也看不出机关在哪里。 暴雨还没有来，狂风吹着窗户，窗户在响，门也在响。 田思思忍不住失声惊呼，道：“秦歌，你在哪里，你听不听得到我说话。” no respond. 田思思咬着嘴唇，一步步往后退，忽然转身往门外冲了出去。 外面好大的风，田思思刚冲出门，又有一阵狂风卷起，卷起了漫天发丝。 千千万万根头发突然一齐向她卷了过来，卷上了她的脸，缠住了她的脖子。 轻轻的，软软的，冷冷的，就好像是千千万万只鬼手，在摸着她的脸，扼住她的咽喉。 她呼吸都已几乎停顿，凌空一个翻身，退回了门里去，“砰”地用力阻住门，用身子抵住。 过了很久，她这口气才透出来。 风还在外面吹，空荡荡的屋子里，只有她一个人。 她忽然发现这间屋子好大，屋子越大，越令她觉得自己渺小孤单。 她掌心已全是冷汗，用力扯下了身上，脸上，脖上的头发。 头发却又黏在她手上，缠住了她的手——轻轻的，软软的，冷冷的…… 她仿佛想吐，却又吐不出。 “蓬”的一声，一扇窗户被吹开，接着又是“霹雳”一响，黄豆般大的雨点跟着下了起来。 她忍不住机灵灵打了个寒噤，壮起胆子，大声道：“屋子里还有没有人？……这里的人难道全都死光了么？” 还是没有人回应，她自己却又忍不住打了个寒噤。 “这家人本就早已全都死光了，全都变成了鬼！” 可是那道士和秀才呢？对面还有扇门，门是关着的，他们会不会藏在里面。 田思思咬了咬牙。用最快的速度冲过去，仿
