Liaozhai Ghost Story

Chapter 122 Gamblers

Han Taoist priest lives in Tianqi Temple in the county. There are many illusions for people, and the people respect them as immortals. My father has a good relationship with him. Every time he passes by the county, he will visit him. One day, my father and my uncle went to the city. On the way, I met the Taoist priest Han. He was given the key and said, "You two go to the temple to open the door and sit down for a while. I'll come soon." After saying that, he went away.

From his words, his father pushed the door to the temple, and Han Taoist priest had already waited at home. There are countless such wonders.

Before that, I had a clan who was fond of gambling. After being introduced by my father, I also met Han Taoist priest. At the right time, a monk came to the Big Buddha Temple, specializing in gambling. He was very rich in gambling. The people were very happy to hear the words and took the whole family to visit. The two of them gambled, and the clan suffered a big loss and lost all their money. Unconvinced, he sold his land, gambled again, and lost all night. The people of the clan were depressed and had no ambition. They met the Korean Taoist priest on the way. They were bleak and incoherent. The Taoist priest asked about the reason, and the clan told the truth.

Han Taoist smiled and said, "If you often gamble, you will lose. If you can quit gambling, I can turn over the book for you. The clan said, "If it's true, I will smash the dice with an iron pestle immediately." Han Taoist took out a paper charm and ordered the clan to wear it close to his waist. He said, "After turning over the book, stop immediately. Don't get Long Wang Shu." He gave him a thousand copper coins and said, "I'll make a gambling capital for you, and you still have to repay it after winning the money."

The people of the clan were overjoyed. The monks checked the gambling capital, disdained it, and said with a smile, "Just a few coppers, and you will lose one. I'm too lazy to gamble with you." The people insisted again and again and said, "Then let's take a bet." The monk smiled and agreed. The clan takes thousands of yuan as a bet, and the monks dice, but there is no victory or defeat. It is the clan's turn to dice, but the flag is open to win. The monks were not convinced, took 2,000 yuan as the bet, and lost again. Since then, the bet has become bigger and bigger, and gradually increased to 10,000 yuan. The clan throws the dice, which is obviously the losing point. As long as they shout, it immediately becomes the winning point. In this way, there is no loss. The calculation has not only turned over the capital, but also made a lot of profits.

The people of the clan thought, "Wouldn't it be better to win thousands of copper coins?" Thinking of this, I continued to bet, but then bad luck shrouded me and there was no profit. Strange in his heart, his eyes glanced at his waist, and the paper charm disappeared.

The clan was shocked and stopped. They rolled up the copper money on the table, hurried back to the temple, took out a thousand copper coins to repay the Taoist priest, and counted the details. The copper money they won was no more or less, just enough. He apologized and said, "I'm really sorry for losing the immortal charm." Taoist priest Han smiled and said, "The spiritual charm is here. I have repeatedly told you not to be greedy, but you don't listen, so you have to take back the spiritual charm by yourself."
