Chapter 263 The Little Joys of the World
Looking at the wretched expression on Wang Ye's face, Zhang Daoxuan shook his head.
He stroked his beard and said, "Manager Wang, I am a pure and ascetic person who enjoys cultivating myself and helping the world. I have a pure heart and few desires."
"The supreme happiness you mentioned is just like passing clouds and smoke in my eyes. It is not happiness..."
"Instead of pursuing that kind of happiness, Shopkeeper Wang, why not follow me and experience the little joys of the world."
The little joys of the world?
After hearing what Zhang Daoxuan said, Wang Ye raised his eyebrows and looked suspicious.
He had been in the martial arts world for many years, but this was the first time he heard this word.
For a moment, he was still a little curious.
Thinking of this, he looked at Zhang Daoxuan in front of him and said, "Master, what is the little joy in the world?"
"Haha, as the saying goes, first there is small joy, then there is big joy"
Hearing this, Zhang Daoxuan looked at Wang Ye and said, "The so-called little joys in the world refer to one's own happiness, which is difficult to express in words at the moment..."
At this point, Zhang Daoxuan glanced at the weather and continued, "It's still early. If Shopkeeper Wang doesn't mind, I'd like to take Master Wang to see some of the little joys of this world. How about that?"
After hearing this, Wang Ye couldn't help but nodded.
Now he also wants to know what the little joys of the world are.
…
A moment later, in the north of Jinling City, at Changle Casino.
This is the largest gambling house in Jinling City. It is a normal business because of the prosperous dynasty and civilized customs of the people.
"Master Zhang..."
Standing in the Changle Casino, Wang Ye looked at the noisy environment in front of him and said, "Is this what you call the little joy of the world?"
There was a hint of hesitation in his words.
Around Wang Ye, some men in different clothes were gathered around several large tables and talking loudly.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Wang Ye felt extremely helpless.
I have lived in Jinling for a long time, and I have only been to Changle Casino a few times.
It turned out that Zhang Daoxuan was able to find it just a few days after arriving.
It can be seen how wild the old Taoist priest's path is...
"good!"
Hearing this, Zhang Daoxuan nodded and said, "Didn't I say it before? The little happiness in the world refers to your own happiness."
"Isn't this gambling house the culmination of my own happiness?"
"Come, come, Shopkeeper Wang..."
As he spoke, Zhang Daoxuan patted Wang Ye on the shoulder and said, "I'll show you around!"
"no…"
After hearing what Zhang Daoxuan said, Wang Ye said, "Master Zhang, as a Taoist sect and a major martial arts sect, Wudang should have some rules and regulations, right?"
"You come here to gamble, and he won't break his rules?!"
"Even the Taoist priest you mentioned who lives a carefree life, he is also a Taoist figure, right?"
As he spoke, Wang Ye narrowed his eyes with a hint of amusement.
"Blessings to the infinite heavenly master!"
As soon as Wang Ye said this, Zhang Daoxuan said lightly, "We are a well-known and powerful Wudang sect, so gambling is naturally considered a violation of the rules..."
"but!"
At this point, Zhang Daoxuan changed the subject and said, "I don't know if the result is due to gambling..."
"If you know the outcome, is it still a gamble?"
As he spoke, a strange smile appeared on Zhang Daoxuan's face.
???
After these words were spoken, Wang Ye stood there in a daze.
Could it be that this old Taoist priest...
At this moment, an idea came to Wang Ye's mind.
As if seeing through Wang Ye's thoughts, Zhang Daoxuan smiled slightly.
He patted Wang Ye on the shoulder and said, "Manager Wang, you will know after watching the next game, right?"
As he spoke, Zhang Daoxuan brought Wang Ye to a gambling table.
The game played at this table is dice bo, and the table is divided into four areas: big, small, full, and surrounded.
The gambling official in charge of shaking the dice sat in the middle.
He shook the dice cup and shouted, "Bet on the big or small, it's time to put it down!"
Seeing this scene, Zhang Daoxuan smiled slightly.
He looked at Wang Ye in front of him and said, "Manager Wang, this thing is called dice, also known as betting on size..."
"The sum of the three dice is eleven to seventeen for big, four to ten for small. If the three sides are the same, it is called a full circle."
"If you set a number, and all three dice have the same number, it's called a circle dice."
"The odds are 50% for big or small, 30% for all, and 150% for dice."
"These things are so much fun, and they are so versatile!"
As he spoke, Zhang Daoxuan took out ten taels of silver and threw it directly on the side of the table with big words on it, and said, "Ten taels of silver to buy big!"
After hearing this, Wang Ye was stunned.
He looked at Zhang Daoxuan in front of him and said, "Master Zhang, you are being a bit generous!"
Although Wang Ye didn't know how to gamble, he knew that the rounds of betting on big or small were very fast.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Each transaction costs ten taels of silver, and at the end of the day even the owner of Tianbao Money House would feel the pain.
"Hey, Shopkeeper Wang..."
After hearing Wang Ye's words, Zhang Daoxuan smiled slightly and said, "How can you complain about making money slowly?"
At this time, it was Zhang Daoxuan's turn to show a lewd smile on his face.
There's something wrong with this old Taoist priest...
Seeing the obscene smile on Zhang Daoxuan's face, Wang Ye thought secretly in his heart.
"Okay, ten taels of silver, I'll buy it for you!"
After hearing Zhang Daoxuan's words, the gambling official laughed and said, "If that's the case, then let's open it!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the gambling official shook the dice cup twice, slapped it on the table, and suddenly opened it.
The moment he opened the dice cup, Wang Ye narrowed his eyes.
At this moment, he saw that the three dice in the dice cup were three, four, and one.
Although the dice has not yet stopped, the points on it are already visible.
"Eight o'clock..."
Seeing this, Wang Ye's heart moved, and he thought secretly: "This old Taoist priest has lost..."
However, just as Wang Ye was thinking about this, he saw Zhang Daoxuan's palm lightly slap the gambling table.
Suddenly, a soft force spread out.
The dice with one point rolled slightly and turned into five points.
The dice that originally had three, four, and one instantly became three, four, and five, a total of twelve!
Twelve o'clock, big, Zhang Daoxuan wins.
Zhang Daoxuan performed this scene extremely skillfully, without leaving a single trace.
If Wang Ye had not been at such a high level and had not had such a sharp vision, he would not have been able to discover these things.
!!!
Seeing this, Wang Ye’s eyes widened.
He turned his head suddenly, only to find that Zhang Daoxuan was looking at him with a smile on his face.
Tai Chi combines both hardness and softness in strength, and reaches the peak in an instant. It is an extremely mysterious martial art.
But Zhang Daoxuan actually used this skill to cheat in the casino!
No wonder the old man just said with a big face that he didn't know the outcome of the gambling.
After all this time, this old man used Tai Chi power to cheat and win money!
Using this method, what points can't be exchanged?
This is no longer gambling, this is simply making money.
Just as Wang Ye was thinking secretly, the gambling official pushed a silver ingot worth fifty taels to Zhang Daoxuan.
"Fifty taels of silver..."
After taking the silver, Zhang Daoxuan moved his palm and threw the silver to the larger side, saying, "Buy another larger one!"
As he spoke, a kind smile appeared on Zhang Daoxuan's face.
Seeing this kind smile, Wang Ye's heart moved.
Even though he had been in the martial arts world for many years, when he compared himself with Zhang Daoxuan at the gambling table, he suddenly found himself as pure as a child who had never experienced the world...
