Chapter 193 Dai Zong's Armor

"Didn't you lie to me?" Li Kui jumped up from the ground and said excitedly.

"Why did I lie to you? I didn't lend you money just now because I was afraid that you would lose the silver. With your head and luck, it's not enough to lose. I'll go with you and help you get some silver flowers. How about it, brother, I'm righteous enough." Zhou Tian saw that Li Kui's face was happy, and he couldn't help laughing.

"Haha, you are my own brother." Hearing Zhou Tianyi's words, Li Kui immediately danced to Zhou Tian. He wanted to give Zhou Tian a warm hug, but he was afraid that he would be thrown out again, so Li Kui ran to Zhou Tian and quickly braked and stopped.

"If you have money, you are your own brother. Someone wanted to beat me just now." Zhou Tian held his hands behind his back and said with a smile.

"Aren't I in a hurry?" Li Kui's surname is Zi Zhi. Seeing that Zhou Tian said so, he knelt down and said, "I apologize to my brother, hehe."

"Get up, get up." Seeing that Li Kui was like a child, Zhou Tian hurriedly pulled him up and said, "Which is the largest gambling house in this city? Let's go there today."

"The largest gambling house in Jiangzhou City is Wanle Tower. It seems to be opened by the emperor's father-in-law, but I have never been there. I heard that I have to gamble in at least 100 taels." Li Kui said.

"One hundred taels..." Zhou Tian thought for a moment and said, "Then go to the gambling house you usually go to first. There should not be many gambling capital required there."

"They dare! Let's go. I'll accompany my brother to kill everywhere. Li Kui answered and took Zhou Tian to the direction of the city.

With the development of the commodity economy, all kinds of entertainment industries in the Northern Song Dynasty are also unprecedentedly prosperous. Jiyuan casinos and other gold grottoes have emerged. These two entertainment venues are opened for local officials or royal relatives, on a huge scale. The other is the non-governmental opening, which is small in scale and very irregular. There are all three education and nine people. At the beginning, Zhou Tian controlled such a gambling house when he was a head in Yanggu County. However, because Yanggu County was only a small county town, Zhou Tian could not get much benefit from this gambling house at that time.

"Brother, here we are." Li Kui pointed to a small store and said. Li Kui, who had learned a lesson, was very respectful to Zhou Tian. In addition, he also expected that Zhou Tian could turn over yesterday's book for him, so Li Kui didn't stop screaming all the way.

This gambling house is the most common small gambling house in the market. Although the room is not big, there are many people, it is chaotic, and there is also a smell of stinky feet.

There are three tables in the whole gambling house, each of which is full of people. The things you gamble on are the most ordinary sieve. They are thrown into the bowls and bet on each other's fate.

"That's the table." I didn't like the smell of stinky feet in the gambling house. After choosing a table, I bet ten taels of silver at will.

There is the stone drop technique on Sunday, so the size of the sieve can naturally be controlled at will on Sunday. In two or three rounds, Sunday won more than a hundred taels of silver. Zhou Tianzhi was not here, so Zhou Tian, who won a hundred taels of silver, took Li Kui to leave the gambling house full of stinky feet.

"Hey hey, brother, you're really lucky. You're much better than me." Li Kui held the silver and was happy. At this time, he picked up all the silver he had lost in the past, and there was still a surplus. Can he be unhappy? "Brother, let's go for a drink. It's my treat."

"Tie Niu, when is it? We just finished eating. You won't be hungry now, are you?" It took less than half an hour to win the hundred taels of silver on Sunday. Sunday, which has just finished eating and has not been digested, is not very hungry.

"Hey hey, I'm not hungry, but brother, you helped me win so much money, and I have to repay you anyway." Li Kui scratched his head and said with a smile.

"There's no need to repay. Take me to the Wanle Square. I didn't have fun just now. How about we bet on two more? If we win the silver, it's still fifty-five points." The gambling house I'm looking forward to on Sunday is not the kind of small gambling house full of stinky feet that I just saw, so I still plan to meet Wanlefang on Sunday.

"Let's just go back and gamble. Let's go to Wanle Square. It's still quite far away." Li Kui muttered puzzledly.

"This place is too small and boring to play. There should be big bets in Wanlefang. If you win twice, maybe I can marry you a daughter-in-law." The most important thing is that the smell of stinky feet almost made me vomit three times.

As soon as he heard of marrying a daughter-in-law, Li Kui grinned and said, "All right, I'll listen to my brother. I'll take my brother there."

After going around more than a dozen alleys, Zhou Tian and Li Kui came to the door of Wanle Square.

The location of Wanlefang is the most prosperous area in Jiangzhou City. There are many casino courtyards, and the largest courtyard in Jiangzhou City is next to Wanlefang, but it is not yet time for girls to welcome guests, so the brothel called Huichun Tower is far from the prosperous business of Wanlefang.

Although this Wanlefang is the largest gambling house in Jiangzhou City, because the gambling industry in the Northern Song Dynasty has only just started, Zhou Tian did not find any other gambling tools except the sieve. But it's okay. Sunday really can't do anything else except guessing the size.

Without the smell of stinky feet, Sunday can finally make some money at ease.

Because the background of Wanlefang is very deep, and Zhou Tian is not willing to cause trouble, so Zhou Tian is very cautious when using rhotic techniques, and has not been guessed several times in a row. However, because of this bet, Zhou Tian still made a lot of money after this bet.

In the Northern Song Dynasty, there were no chips, so Li Kui could not hold the silver won by Zhou Tian, so Zhou Tian replaced all the silver with gold and continued to kill all sides.

However, Zhou Tian, who opened the Golden Finger, felt a little bored. Zhou Tian, the gambler should feel the thrilling Zhou Tian, and there was no place to spend the money he won. I guess it would be cheaper for Li Kui. The most important thing was that in a couple of days, Song Jiang's boy would write anti-poems uneasily, even if he was rich. I can't take it with me.

Zhou Tian, who was suddenly bored, was fiddling with the sieve in his hand. With a flash of his eyes, he suddenly saw a brocade box in the hand of a rough man.

"Look how much gold I can exchange for my ginseng." The rough man opened the brocade box in his hand, and there was a white, fat and radish-like thing inside.

The man opposite the rough man is a middle-aged fat man, dressed in gorgeous clothes, and seems to be a businessman. He took the rough man's brocade box and looked at it and said, "Ten gold bars in the sky."

"Well, you think I'm a fool, don't you?" The rough man patted the table and said, "At least 20 gold bars are needed for Korean ginseng like our Jin Kingdom."

"The price of the Song Dynasty is different from that of the Kingdom of Jin." The middle-aged fat man said unhurriedly.

"Even if there is a price difference between the two places, the price of ginseng should be more expensive in the Northern Song Dynasty." The crazy man said.

The bargaining between the two naturally heard clearly on Sunday. Just as the two were about to make a deal with 13 gold bars, Sunday suddenly inserted a bar and bought the Korean ginseng with 20 gold bars. Of course, then Sunday and the rough man of the Golden Kingdom bet on the size of 20 gold bars, and the gold bars naturally returned to Sunday's pocket.

On Sunday when he got the baby, he didn't stay more from the casino, but took Li Kui to buy some wine and meat to find Dai Zong.

Although Dai Zong is a national civil servant, with the establishment of the Song Dynasty at that time, Dai Zong's official position is not in the stream at all, which is estimated to be similar to the current aunt of the neighborhood committee. Therefore, the dream of buying a house is like a luxury for Dai Zong, who likes to make friends with the world. At that time, he did not have a loan, and even if he wanted to be a house slave, he could not. Therefore, Dai Zong, who was a bachelor, often lived in the free place of Guanyin Temple near the Chenghuang Temple.

When Zhou Tian and Li Kui went with wine and meat, Dai Zong just came back from work.

"Brother, look what I brought you, the braised venison in the Jade Building, and a jar of carved wine." When Li Kui saw Dai Zong, he lifted the things in his hand and said, "Brother, I'm rich now. Look at my robe, is it beautiful?"

"Tie Niu, did Brother Zhou Tian buy this for you?" Seeing what was in Li Kui's hand and the robe on his body, Dai Zong turned his eyes and looked at Zhou Tian.

Sunday just smiled and didn't say much.

"It's my own money." Li Kui smiled and said, "It's just given by Brother Zhou Tian. You don't know. Today, Brother Zhou Tian and I killed everywhere in Wanlefang. I won forty or fifty gold bars alone. I haven't seen so much money in my life. Well, I won money and bought something to honor you."

"I said, why are you so generous?" Dai Zong let Zhou Tian and Li Kui into the temple and rushed to Zhou Tian. "Brother, no wonder, my place is so simple that my brother laughed."

"Brother is at his own." Zhou Tian looked at the Guanyin Temple, which was given by Dai Zong as king. Although it was not big, there was nothing missing. Except for the lack of a kitchen, there was everything in this living.

"I'm alone, and I'm not so particular about it." Dai Zong made a stool for Zhou Tian and Li Kui, and put the wine and food on the table and drank it for a while.

"Let me tell you about the killing of people in Wanlefang today, let's talk about Wanlefang..." As soon as the wine glass was put down, Li Kui's big voice shouted. Today, Li Kui finally knows what it means to throw a lot of money. His original gambling is all small things. This extremely excited Li Kui naturally wants to take himself Let's talk about it to Dai Zong.

Li Kui is not only loud, but also a chat. It's not over. After half an hour, Dai Zong really couldn't stand it and had to say something to brake Li Kui.

However, Li Kui obviously didn't have enough fun. After being interrupted by Dai Zong, he still muttered until he stuffed a piece of palm-sized venison into his mouth on Sunday, which stopped.

Without Li Kui's muttering, this wine was much more enjoyable, and Zhou Tian also took advantage of Dai Zong's drunkenness to inquire about his armored horse that could travel 500 miles.

And Dai Zong obviously didn't take the secret of his armored horse seriously. Before he talked about it on Sunday, he muttered it all by himself.

"This magic skill was passed on by a Taoist priest when I was a teenager. At that time, after the Taoist priest gave me a formula and the method of making the armored horse, I couldn't find anyone, and I also followed the armored horse and the formula to get the name of Shenxing Taibao in the world." Dai Zong smiled and took out a piece of yellow cardboard with a lot of runes from behind him. "This is the armored horse. Although anyone can use it, there is no one else except the Taoist priest and me, Dai Zong, if it is made and urged."

Zhou Tian took the yellow cardboard in Dai Zong's hand and looked at it carefully. It was similar to his own spiritual charm, but what was written on it was not words, but some rotten symbols.

"The dean is not afraid that this thing will attract other people's peeps." I took a sip of wine on Sunday and asked.

"Haha, brother's worries are superfluous." Dai Zong shook his head and smiled, "Now the style of Confucianism is flourishing. Both the temple and the world are far away from the power of ghosts and gods. In addition, it is extremely difficult to practice my skills, so even if I teach others the method of making the armored horse and the mental method I learned at the beginning, I'm afraid that others may not be willing to learn it."

Zhou Tian nodded and said tentatively, "Oh, it's actually this situation. I'm a little interested in this magic. I don't know if the dean can give me some advice."

"Do you want to learn from Zhou Tian? Ha ha, of course there is no problem. Dai Zong laughed, took out something from behind, and handed it to Zhou Tian, "It's not that I, Dai Zong, have never taught others this magic skill, but even if they learn it, no one can really urge the armored horse to come. As for the method of making this armored horse, it is even more impossible to learn it. Well, this is the mental method I learned from the Taoist priest at the beginning. Brother Zhou Tian can take a closer look first. It's not too difficult. I learned him as soon as I said it.

"Thank you very much, Dean." I put down the wine glass on Sunday and took over the heart and looked at it. At this look, Zhou Tian was shocked and found that Dai Zong's mental method was actually a skill to practice spiritual power, but that skill was not a level worse than Zhou Tian's Book. Whether in terms of cultivation speed or the purity of spiritual power generated, it could not be compared with Tianshu.

"It seems that my "Heavenly Book" is a treasure." Zhou Tian shook his head and returned the mind in his hand to Dai Zong.

"Brother Zhou, if there is anything you don't understand, you can ask me. You don't have to give up so soon." Dai Zong thought that Zhou Tian gave up because he couldn't understand his mind, so he couldn't help laughing and said. Since he got this mental method, Dai Zong also wanted to inherit this mental method, but he found that no matter who he taught this mental method to, he could not practice what he needed to urge the armored horse. Now when he saw Zhou Tian shaking his head, he felt that the other party must be the same as the people he had taught before, and he could not practice the need to urge the armored horse. The thing.

Sunday did not answer Dai Zong's words, but said, "Can the dean tell me how to make a horse, so that I can try to make a horse."

"What did the Zhou Tian brothers say?" Dai Zong didn't expect that Zhou Tian would ask him how to make a horse. He was stunned and did not hesitate. He took a piece of yellow cardboard without runes from beside him and said, "There is nothing special about making this horse. You just need to write a few runes from the paper. As for what kind of paper it is, it doesn't matter. I use this kind of paper to compare. It's easy, so I've been using it all the time.

"Sure enough, it is similar to the production method of spiritual charm." When Zhou Tian heard what Dai Zong said about the method of making armored horses, he suddenly became enlightened. The legendary armored horse that could travel 500 miles was just like that. The key to everything was on the rune similar to the circle and fork.

Sunday took the yellow hard paper, and under the operation of spiritual power, he drew the same rune compared with the armored horse that Dai Zong had made before.

"It takes so much spiritual power..." Zhou Tian finished painting the armored horse and felt that the spiritual power in his body was empty. At this time, he had wiped up 80% of his spiritual power.

"What are the Zhou Tian brothers doing?" When Dai Zong saw Zhou Tian holding his fingers and scratching around, he couldn't help asking.

"Make a horse..." Zhou Tiandao.

"Hehe... Brother Zhou Tian is really good at joking." Dai Zong took out a brush and a box of cinnabar and said, "Not to mention that Brother Zhou Tian didn't learn my mind, even if he learned it, he had to use this wolf pen and cinnabar."

"Does the dean still need these things to make this horse?" According to Zhou Tian's estimation, this mental method learned by Dai Zong, like the Book of Heaven, needs immortals to learn, so many people have practiced this religion, but those people can't learn it because they don't have fairy fate. Zhou Tian also heard from Zhang Jiao that this person with two levels of immortality must use cinnabar to make spiritual charms. Now it seems that Dai Zong seems to be the immortality of the red level or orange level.

"This is natural, otherwise you can't make a horse at all." Dai Zong nodded.

"Eh, isn't it..." Zhou Tian smiled and tied the armored horse he had just made on his leg, and then urged it under the operation of spiritual power.

"So fast..." Zhou Tian moved under his feet, but ran out of Guanyin'an with one leg. The driving method of this armor is the same as Zhou Tian expected, just injecting spiritual power, but Zhou Tian ignores a problem - how to turn this thing and how to stop.

Although he didn't know how to stop, Zhou Tian's reaction was not slow. After leaving Guanyin Temple, there happened to be a jujube tree. Zhou Tian jumped down and climbed the trunk, just letting the armored horse on his right foot take off, which was regarded as a stop.

"Dean, come and help me, I can't stop!" Zhou Tian, who was hanging on the jujube tree, shouted to Dai Zong for help, and Dai Zong was holding meat in his mouth at this moment, looking at the place where Zhou Tian was sitting just now. It seems to be scared by the scene just now.

"Where's Brother Zhou Tian?" Dai Zong was stunned, but he was better than Li Kui. Li Kui's boy drank so much that he forgot where his nose was. Seeing that Zhou Tian was gone, he asked.
