A film series in the Republic of China: The legendary Taoist priest in Shanghai
Chapter 51: Gambling skills are a test of inner strength
The spiritual revelation was activated, and the big words on the gambling table turned red and the small words turned black.
The clue should be that red will win and black will lose, so Wencai takes out a one-dollar bill to bet on big.
Long Si smiled slightly, Big Black and Little Red.
Since there was no buy order, Wencai could still place another bet, so he put another dollar on the small one.
When the bets are made, the dice change again, the big characters turn red and the small characters turn black again.
Wencai collected another dollar and pledged the big characters back.
Change the size and the writing style.
The size changed faster and faster, from red to black, with a frequency of almost once a second. Long Si's forehead was sweating slightly, and white steam was rising from his head.
In actual casinos, no matter how big or small the loss is, there will be a buy-out.
As soon as the dealer shouts, gamblers cannot change their bets, and the dealer must raise or press his hands on the table to show fairness.
For some reason, Long Si just didn't shout.
After four minutes, Wencai's spiritual revelation disappeared, the hint was gone, he shrugged and casually pressed a big word.
The opening was small, and Wencai lost unexpectedly.
Long Si took out a Daqianmen cigarette and threw it to Wencai, who lit it.
The aroma of Beauty brand cigarettes is too strong, so they are suitable for entertainment venues and for smoking while hugging a beautiful woman.
Daqianmen is spicier and more suitable for the underworld.
Wencai exhaled a puff of smoke and said, "My magic is called spiritual revelation, which is a secret of Maoshan. This magic can see the mysteries of fate and life and death with the mind. Just now you rolled the dice and used tricks to change them. My magic blessing was gone, so Fourth Brother won."
Long Si also exhaled a wisp of smoke: "The Thousands of Gambling Techniques are martial arts. Martial artists have five sensitive senses. Their ears can hear the dice, their eyes can capture the fleeting shadows, their hands are as fast as lightning, and they have the internal force to shake the dice and change the cards. Only in this way can they grasp the win or loss."
In fact, even if Long Si didn't say it, Wencai had vaguely guessed that gambling skills were the same as martial arts.
In the past, the heroes of the martial arts world were very wealthy, but where did the money come from?
What about the Huashan and Taishan Five Mountains Sword Sects? In the final analysis, they are just there to look after the place, collect protection fees, and control prostitution, gambling, and salt.
There was no drug industry in ancient times, but there was a salt industry.
Times are changing, but the world remains the same.
The Paramount and Sihai Casinos were all owned by the sects in ancient times.
The King of Gambling and the King of Thousand Gold, are just masters of martial arts.
Wencai saw Long Si suddenly teach him about the art of gambling, so he vaguely guessed what he was thinking: "Fourth brother, do you want me to deal with Qiu Daqian?"
"You can't. Qiu Daqian has already integrated magic and martial arts. Your spiritual enlightenment is very powerful, but when used for gambling, it is no different from listening to the dice."
"Fourth brother, I actually have a sinister and evil Maoshan magic that can bewitch the soul and cause stomachache."
"I already know. You used this technique to fight with Shadowless Hand Jiang Zhong and exhausted Shadowless Hand's internal energy. But in the end, you won by a narrow margin. Compared with Qiu Daqian, Shadowless Hand's internal energy is nothing. Your evil technique is useless, and Qiu Daqian also knows evil techniques..."
"Well, I'm out of ideas."
Wencai said frankly.
He activated four skills, including healing and mental warfare. It was useless to gamble with two skills, so it made no difference whether he said it or not.
"Qiu Daqian, I am not sure either. I may lose this battle. If the God of Gamblers loses, he will die. So I want to pass on the gambling technique to you."
"Pass it to me, isn't that inappropriate?"
"I am not wrong. You will definitely become the next generation of gambling god."
In fact, Wencai has no interest in gambling.
Wencai was still hesitating, and Long Si said, "Gambling is martial arts. Gambling is an unorthodox way, but martial arts cannot be lost. I want to pass on my martial arts to you."
"Okay, I'm a little interested in Wu."
"Well, my martial arts, the internal strength is called Xiao Wuxiang Divine Art, and the moves are called Crane Controlling Art... I got this martial arts by chance when I was traveling in Lingjiu Mountain. Wuxiang Divine Art can use the internal strength of Wuxiang to activate Crane Controlling Art to capture objects in mid-air."
Wencai listened to Long Si talking about the characteristics of his martial arts, the Xiaowuxiang magic skill, which is invisible and formless, and combined with the crane control function, it uses internal force to control objects in mid-air, and it is really easy to use it to control dice and Pai Gow.
As Long Si spoke, he demonstrated the magic of Xiao Wuxiang Divine Art and Konghe Art.
I saw him putting his hands on the gambling table, with his strength penetrating the surface. All the brands, dice and mahjong tiles were pulled by the invisible force field and automatically arranged in order like living things.
"No wonder, no wonder, it turns out that the Thousand Gates Gambling Technique is to use internal force to control objects."
"How about learning or not?"
"Study, Master is here..."
"Don't become my disciple. I am not a disciple of the Lingjiu Palace. I just got the two secret manuals by chance. I passed them on to you because I am afraid that if I die, the two profound martial arts of my Dragon Country will be lost. We will continue to call each other brothers in the future."
"Yes, okay, thank you, Fourth Brother. I wonder how many days it will take to master these two martial arts, and whether I can catch up with the battle with Zhuo Yifu and Qiu Daqian."
"A few days ago, I started practicing when I was twenty-one. Now I'm fifty-two, and I've practiced for thirty-one years, but I can only control objects one foot in the air."
When Wencai heard this, he felt a chill in his heart and couldn't help thinking, "It takes decades of practice to be able to control objects. I might as well save more goddesses and practice my profession. When the time comes, I will be able to summon a divine beast. Who cares about the gambling king or the gambler? Once the divine beast breathes fire, they will all turn into ashes."
At that moment, he lost a lot of interest in practicing Long Si's two unique skills, but for the sake of face he continued to listen to Long Si's explanation of the secrets.
Fortunately, what Long Si said about meditation, guiding and breathing have something in common with the Maoshan mental method.
Wencai has a Maoshan foundation, and he understands everything Long Si says.
In fact, Wencai also has the internal strength of Maoshan's mental method, but the powerful kung fu he practices can be regarded as hard qigong.
The defensive power is strong, but it is not able to penetrate the air, exert force in mid-air, or control invisible objects.
However, the combination of the Xiao Wuxiang Divine Art and the Crane Controlling Art that Long Si practiced was invincible when used for gambling, but the Crane Controlling Art was a little lacking when used in actual combat.
The main reason was that Long Si's cultivation was too shallow. He could only control objects of one zhang in diameter, and the weight of the objects he could control was at most one jin.
If he had several hundred years of internal strength, and could control objects weighing a thousand pounds with his energy reaching ten feet, he would be hard to find a rival in the world.
If one really reaches this level, let alone fighting in the martial arts world, one could just control the stones to smash even the Japanese tanks.
In this age of martial arts decline, it is naturally impossible to cultivate to such a realm. Even if one can reach the level of Long Si with an internal force of ten feet and control a pound of weight, it is considered a natural talent.
Seeing that Wencai had a very good understanding of the meridians, acupoints and a term for cultivation, Long Si saved him the effort of explaining.
When he was learning martial arts in the past, he spent a lot of effort and took a lot of detours to understand these terms and meridian acupoints.
Wencai is able to achieve this thanks to the foundation he laid through training with Uncle Jiu.
Uncle Jiu is also a person who practices both magic and martial arts.
Wencai couldn't help but think of Uncle Jiu, and suddenly he had an idea whether he should invite Uncle Jiu to Shanghai to deal with Qiu Daqian.
If Uncle Jiu is sure, then no matter how powerful Qiu Daqian's evil magic is, it will be useless.
I just don’t know if I can persuade Uncle Jiu to gamble big.
Wencai thought about it, made up a plan for a charity gambling game, and sent a telegram to Uncle Jiu.
Renjia Town is in the south, too far from Shanghai. There is no long-distance telephone service in Renjia Town, and writing letters is too slow, so the fastest way is to send a telegram.
Two or three days after the telegram was sent, Qiu Sheng sent a reply telegram saying that after Wencai left, the couple left Renjia Town and went to Maoshan.
Wencai also knew to stop.
In fact, no one took this matter too seriously. The worst that could happen was that Qiu Daqian would win the Sihai Casino.
If you are rich, the most you can do is copy songs yourself, concentrate on being an art consultant, expand and strengthen the entertainment industry, open a few nightclubs, film companies, and record companies. This is more interesting than opening a casino and becoming a gambling king.
At the very least, there are many goddesses in the entertainment industry.
But in the next few days, Boss Feng took action in the entertainment industry.
Shanghai now has two flowers, the white rose and the red peony. Boss Feng’s PolyGram recruited a beautiful lady named Xianglan.
Xianglan came to Shanghai and released a new song "Smoking Song" as soon as she appeared on stage.
For a time, the streets and alleys were filled with these brainwashing pop songs.
“The pleasure of smoking is better than heaven, and the efficacy of curing diseases is better than medical prescriptions.
Take a sip and your interest will grow.
Take two puffs and you’ll feel refreshed.
I lie down every day without worries. "
……
These are the lyrics of the Smoking Song. The style is simple and the melody seems to be the same as the later pop songs.
The more popular a song is, the easier it is for the general public to accept and sing it.
As soon as this song became popular, children, old men and aunties began to sing it.
The singing is extremely disturbing.
Because of this song, Ouyang Han came to Shanghai and found Wencai.
"This song is so bad. Smoking is harmful to health, but this song says that smoking is a cure for illness. In the long run, it brainwashes the Chinese people and makes those with weak wills believe it and regard smoking as health. It is so bad. This poisonous plot is no less than the Fu Shou ointment back then."
When opium was introduced into China, it was touted by foreigners as a miracle drug that could cure all diseases and prolong life.
By the time Longguo realized it, the entire nation had become the sick man of East Asia and was beyond help.
Using culture to invade other countries and brainwash the people is more terrifying than guns and cannons.
The President has just issued the order of "two years of drug prohibition, six years of smoking prohibition". This song openly spreads the idea that smoking is good, which is simply against the government of the people.
But Shanghai is a world of foreigners, with concessions everywhere, where people value natural beauty and have an open-minded character.
It is absolutely impossible to be arrested for singing and subjected to literary inquisition.
Therefore, even if we know it is an open conspiracy, there is nothing we can do.
Boss Feng’s plan is very powerful. Doesn’t your government want to ban smoking and drugs?
I just want people to think that smoking is good and beneficial to health.
"Mr. Xu, Brother Wencai, please make sure to write more good songs, drive the poisonous songs out of Dragon Country, and restore peace and clarity to the world."
"must."
