Reverend Insanity: Section 40: Toads sleep in purple diamonds
The deeper you go, the more prosperous.
There are fewer and fewer small stalls, and more and more large tents.
I saw red, blue, yellow, and green tents, some of which were square and some were barrel-shaped. Some are erected at the entrance roller shutters, while others are hung with red lanterns. Some are brilliantly lit inside, while others are dim.
Fang Yuan walked and looked, and finally stopped in a gray tent.
"Here it is." He looked up and saw that there were two columns at the entrance of the tent. The columns were engraved with a couplet.
Left: Xiao Shi's courage, spring, summer, autumn and winter.
Right: Show off your skills and get wealth from southeast and northwest.
There is also a horizontal batch in the middle: run from time to time.
Yes, this is a casino.
This casino occupies an acre and already belongs to a large tent.
Fang Yuan walked in. Inside the tent, three rows of counters were set aside. There were pieces of amber or fossils on the counter. The small one is the size of a slap, and the big one is as large as a washbasin. There are also bigger, one person tall. Naturally, the counter can't be lowered, and it stands directly on the ground.
Unlike the hustle and bustle of other tent shops, it is quiet in this.
There are three masters in front of the counter, some carefully look at the stones on the counter, some pick up the fossils and rub them carefully in the palm, feel the feeling, some talk with their companions, some Discuss the price with the shop guy.
But no matter what they say, they whisper softly and try not to disturb others.
This is a stone bet.
In this world of puppets, there are all kinds of peculiar, strange and countless puppets. Tapeworms have their own specific foods. Without food, tapeworms can only persist for a period of time and die.
But nature is cold and kind to life.
If there is a lack of food, tapeworms have a chance. That is to fall asleep and seal yourself.
For example, Moonlight 蛊 may lose its own petals, and may seal itself. It will shrink its power as much as possible, similar to hibernation, into the deepest sleep. At this time, its body will not only dissipate the blue awn, but also fade from a transparent crystal to a gray stone, which is covered with a stone shell. As time goes by, the stone shell becomes heavier and heavier, and a hard stone will form.
Another example is wine bug, if it seals itself, it will form a white silkworm cocoon. It curls up and sleeps in a cocoon.
Of course, this seal does not fall asleep on all roundworms. It has a low probability. Under normal circumstances, maggots do not fall asleep, but are starved to death. Only a few individual tapeworms can seal themselves under certain circumstances.
Some maggots accidentally get these stubborn stones or cocoons that seal maggots, and awaken the sleeping maggots inside. Some therefore made a fortune. Some flew Huang Tengda, and the trajectory of life ushered in a turning point. These situations have repeatedly occurred in the world of Yanshi, and there are often true or false gossips that make people think about it.
This is the source of the stubborn stones in this gambling field. Of course, these stones are suspect in shape. It must be opened to determine if tapeworms are actually hidden inside.
"Such small gambling venues like this one have ** pieces of ten stones that are solid and no maggots inside. Even if there are maggot stones, they are not necessarily all living worms. It ’s a dead cricket. But once you bet live crickets, in most cases, you can make a lot of money. If the maggots are extremely rare, then you will either be flying yellow or being killed.
Fang Yuan's heart is clear, he knows the doorway inside.
In previous lives, he also participated in the caravan and worked as a buddy at the gambling yard. Later, he even managed a stone gambling field, which is bigger than this one and is a medium-sized stone gambling field. A lot of gamblers have been pitted, and they have also gone through the eyes, and have been gambled by others for valuable maggots.
Fang Yuan stood at the door for a while, glanced around, and then slowly walked to the counter on the left.
Behind the counter, there is a shop man standing a few meters apart, male and female. They were all wearing cyan belts around their waists. Most are beginners, and some are intermediate.
When Fang Yuan came to the front of the counter, a son-in-law who was closest to him came over with a smile on his face and said quietly, "What kind of maggot do you need? Ten stones are sold for ten yuan each. If you are trying for the first time, you can go to the counter on the right if you are gambling, and the stones there only sell five yuan. If you want to stimulate, you may go to the higher counter directly. A hard stone there costs twenty yuan. "
This is an experienced son-in-law who has been working in the gambling yard for quite some time.
After she saw Fang Yuan coming in, she speculated that he was a student from his appearance, age, height and so on.
Everyone who comes to gamble with stones is a guru. There are no mortals. The trainees can only be regarded as preparatory maggots. They have just set foot in practice, and usually have financial difficulties because of feeding maggots. Where can I find any spare money to gamble on?
Students like this often just come in and take a look, open their eyes, and draw a novelty. The vast majority of people just can't buy it. There are a few families with good families. Maybe they will try it. But usually only buy the cheapest fossils.
Now, the son-in-law is not expecting how many stones Fang Yuan can buy.
"Let me see first." Fang Yuan nodded expressionlessly at her, and then watched.
In memory, it should be the counter at this gambling yard.
But it's been too long for five hundred years. Many things are very vague, especially the memory of five hundred years is really a huge reserve. To be honest, Fang Yuan remembers not very clearly.
I just vaguely remember that in this year, the first night of the caravan, a lucky man spent ten yuan stones to buy a fossil with purple gold on the stone skin.
After calcite on the spot, he got a toad. Then the toad cricket was acquired, and he made a lot of money.
Fang Yuan looked for a moment, and frowned slightly.
On this counter, there are more than twenty fossils in purple gold. In which one is the tadpole toad hidden?
Each stone here sells for ten yuan. Fang Yuan now has ninety-eight yuan stones on his body. According to this estimate, he can buy up to nine stones.
But it doesn't really count that way.
Any risk and gambling need to consider the consequences.
Fang Yuan hasn't been that kind of gimmick, and he's not a pretentious gambler. Those who think they are loved by fate are often under the influence of fate.
"I am alone, without the support of friends and relatives. I must leave some stones to support my life, and buy food to feed the maggots." He calculated a little, after the basic guarantee, he could buy up to seven fossils.
"This stone is embellished with purple gold like a star, but it is flat like a cake, and there is no hidden earth toad inside."
"This piece of purple gold is dazzling, but it is only the size of a fist. If there is a tadpole toad, it should be at least 30% larger than it."
"This purple gold fossil is very large, but the surface is extremely smooth, and the skin of the toad is all potholes. Obviously not ..."
Fang Yuan keeps checking and excluding screening.
After the maggot seal has fallen asleep, the fossils formed are completely integrated, which eliminates most detection methods in the world. The remaining detection methods are almost tough and brutal. Once used, they will directly kill the dying maggots inside.
So the master chooses stones only by guessing, by experience, by luck, and occasionally by a flash of aura.
Otherwise, it would not be called a casino.
Of course, there are thousands of worlds in this world, and it does not rule out that there are very few gentle detection methods, so that the master can know in advance whether there are maggots in the stones.
Fang Yuan has heard some wind in previous lives, but after verification, it was found to be rumors.
Fang Yuan envisages privately: If such a means really exists, it must also be secretly passed on, only in the hands of a few mysterious people. It has no effect on the overall gambling industry.
Qingmaoshan is better. The further east, the more popular the casino is. In the Baitoushan area, each cottage has a casino. In some large cottages, there are also large casinos. Among the three big cottages known for their vision of gambling stones: Panshizhai, Ancient Tombs, and Whale Village, there are even very large gambling fields.
Each of these three super-large gambling venues has a history of thousands of years. Business is still booming and gamblers are in constant flow. Nothing ever happened.
The tent in which Fang Yuan is located is barely a small casino at best.
But if other fifteen-year-olds come here, their eyes will be dazzled by these fossils, and even the selection of fossils is purely blind.
But Fang Yuan is different.
First of all, he already knew some answers in advance, so the selection range suddenly narrowed to less than thirty.
Of course, picking the only one out of these twenty fossils is not easy.
But Fang Yuan has five hundred years of experience. Based on such a rich background, he observed for a moment and selected six purple gold fossils that met the criteria.
He can be sure with 80% certainty-The toad is sleeping in one of the purple gold fossils!
