Chapter 134 Spending Money Is Good
Zuo Chen couldn't help but take a few more glances at this wonderful combination.

In his view, most of the kind-hearted people who do not have any bad air on them are here to do business, or they are the poor and destitute people who look poor and can barely afford to eat.

The former just came here to do business, and as long as he didn't do anything wrong, there would be no bad air about him; the latter should be an ordinary person with bad luck, who accidentally came to this village and was cheated completely.

Those who looked like veterans of the gambling village, who had been hanging around here for years, were not clean. Like the wealthy young man, he looked like a veteran of the casino and was clean...

This is the only one.

Is there some unique magic method that can help people get rid of all the bad energy?

His eyes swept over the young man.

The fan in his hand was no ordinary object. It was engraved with recipes for avoiding disasters, and it should be used to save lives.

The small bag hanging around the waist is also not an ordinary item. It is printed with magic formulas similar to Zuo Chen's bamboo basket, but of course it is much weaker.

There seemed to be a few treasures hidden in his arms, all of which were items for avoiding disasters and escaping.

As for himself...

He doesn't even have the ability to grow up, and is only slightly better than the banker.

Also kidney deficiency.

But after looking around, Zuo Chen still saw a mysterious aura in his body.

It didn't seem to belong to him, but rather seemed to be implanted by someone. It was neutral, with neither malice nor kindness, like a piece of steel.

Having never seen it before, Zuo Chen didn’t know what it was.

Then he said to the scholar:

"Brother Han, aren't you short of money to treat your sister's illness? So I brought you here. This is a good place. You just need to throw the silver on the table and play with the dice a little bit, and you can make silver rolls. And you don't have to pay if you lose, I'll pay for it all!"

After hearing what the rich and noble Master Zhou said, the poor scholar finally seemed to feel relieved and asked again:
"Brother Zhou, what should we do? I don't see any gambling houses in this village."

"Hey! Brother Han, we are not allowed to open a casino here. Even if we open a casino, we can't gamble too much money. How can we get the money to save your sister here? Let's go to the other side of the river! There are big games over there!"

Master Zhou closed his fan and pointed in the direction of the rushing river. Looking in the direction of his fan, Han Shusheng scratched his head in confusion:
"It's such a big river. How are we going to cross it? I don't see any boatmen."

"The boat doesn't depart from this shore, but from the other shore. It's a big flower boat. You can get on it after buying a ticket, drink and have fun on it, and keep company with beauties. You can reach your destination after an hour's ride." Master Zhou introduced.

Han Shusheng glanced at the river, which was not too wide:

"The river is neither fast nor wide? How could it take an hour to walk on it?"

Mr. Zhou was choking on his words. He rolled his eyes at his new friend and finally made a comment:
"I don't understand the style."

Han Shusheng: “?”

Han Shusheng really had no idea what Mr. Zhou meant by "romance". After all, he was very poor and had never enjoyed a good life.

He sighed and asked Mr. Zhou: "Brother Zhou, although I shouldn't say this, but... why do you have to give me the money through gambling?"

"Ha, I knew you were going to ask." Mr. Zhou smiled and said, "I have made many friends before, and I gave them money to come here to play."

"Why?"

“Because it’s fun.”

"Ah?" Han Shusheng had no idea what expression he should use.

"I have no shortage of money, but I feel that life is meaningless!" Young Master Zhou laughed, opened the "Born with Wealth" fan, fanned it twice, and looked happy: "Giving you money directly can indeed help you, but it is so boring, the bond between you and me will end here, how can it be as deep as if I brought you here to socialize?

“I have tried painting, hunting, hanging out in brothels, and attending opera shows, but none of them were interesting. It was only when I finally got to the point where I realized gambling was the most interesting thing!

"Of course I know gambling is bad and can hurt people, but why don't I just not hurt anyone? Just be happy!"

But Han Shusheng still didn't understand: "Why doesn't Brother Zhou open his own dealer?"

"That's just playing with yourself, it's really boring."

Han Shusheng really couldn't understand Mr. Zhou's thoughts, so he could only shut up.

Zuo Chen, who had listened to the whole process, looked the young man up and down.

This made Zuo Chen think of the fishermen he met in his previous life, but this young man's way of playing was a little weirder.

Is he a boy with special ideas for spending money?

So that’s how his blessings came from.

Looking at the mixed group of people around him, Zuo Chen thought of the word "scattering money". His mind turned slightly and an idea came to his mind.

So he waved his hand, called Caiyi over, and whispered something to her.

Caiyi was slightly stunned after hearing this:
"Master, is this okay?"

"Don't worry, nothing will go wrong."

As he said this, he rummaged through the basket on the donkey cart and took out two hundred coins.

He untied the string in the middle of the copper coin and separated it into two, three and five. He used the method of bringing about great disasters and dangers on the five percent, and placed a bet that every bet would be a loss on the three percent.

The last 20% are used to cure diseases and eliminate disasters.

After doing all this, Zuo Chen wrapped them in three bags and handed them to Caiyi.

"Go ahead and do it."

Caiyi thought about it for a moment and had some thoughts in her mind.

So he asked Zuo Chen for some change, and immediately ran to a nearby shop, rented a table, and set up the table on the most busy street.

He placed three purses on top, pinched out a small bean, and lifted it up from under his feet.

The next moment, the country girl who originally had a bit of an earthy air had turned into a beautiful lady dressed in brocade.

No one looked at her while she was transforming, but after the transformation, her beautiful appearance and figure attracted the attention of many passers-by.

Caiyi coughed lightly, and then sang a piece of opera:
"With all the colorful makeup and gorgeous clothes, I am singing a piece of auspicious opera. Today, all your relatives and friends are here, so I will perform a little gambling play to wish you all a good start!"

The tone was so attractive that many passers-by on the road were drawn to her. Even Master Zhou, who was just chatting with his brother Han, cast his eyes on Caiyi.

Mr. Zhou was also a natural at supporting the main character, so he spoke directly:

"Pretty girl, what are you doing putting a money bag on the table? What good luck is that?"

"You all came to the gambling village today, so of course you are gambling."

Caiyi put the small gambling cup she had just borrowed on the table again and said with a smile:
"I am here to share my wealth today. I will certainly lose more than I win. I won't bet big, just a penny. The money in my purse has been blessed, and it can ensure good luck for you all."

After hearing what she said, passers-by on the street also became interested.

They come to this village just to have fun and have fun. Since they have to gamble anyway, they might as well come here to get a good start.

And it’s only a penny, so even if you lose it won’t affect anything.

Immediately a man came out:

"Little girl, let me fight with you first!"

He returned to the table, took out a penny and put it on the table. Caiyi glanced at him and smiled.

However, I don't know why, but I always feel that there is something a little strange in this girl's eyes.

In an instant, it was as if I was seen through from the inside out!
I shuddered subconsciously.

However, this wonderful feeling disappeared immediately.

He touched his chin, thinking it was probably his own illusion. When the gambling officially started, there weren't that many rounds, just a simple comparison of the size of the bet. Whoever had the bigger bet won, and the winner was decided in one round.

The dice cup fell and Caiyi lost.

He smiled and took out a copper coin from his largest purse and handed it to the man in front of him.

The man laughed loudly after receiving it: "Thanks to your good words, I will definitely win a lot of money tonight!"

Seeing that some people had already started, passers-by came over more or less and gathered next to Caiyi.

Caiyi also accepted everyone who came to her and gambled with everyone she met.

Soon, the passers-by discovered that this girl had never won once, and she would always lose every time.

Only then was it confirmed that it was actually a blessing of good luck.

As a result, more and more people gathered around.

After gambling for more than ten rounds, Caiyi simply threw all the bets aside and gave copper coins directly to the people in front of her.

Even the sense of ritual of gambling is gone.

Those who took the copper coins all had smiles on their faces, feeling that they had made a huge bargain.

With the blessing of a beautiful woman tonight, won’t I be able to win easily?

Even the men who only came here to transport goods and did not gamble much were tempted and came over to ask for a copper coin, just to get a good start, or go home and show off to their children the wonderful things that happened tonight.

Master Zhou and Scholar Han were no exception. They came to Caiyi's table and each took a copper coin in one hand.

After receiving the copper coin, both of them could feel a faint warmth coming from above, as if this thing was really a treasure.

However, after Han Shusheng took the copper coin, his eyes stayed on Caiyi for a long time before he murmured with emotion:
"What a beautiful girl."

"What? Brother? Do you like her?" Mr. Zhou laughed and patted Han Shusheng on the shoulder:

"She is indeed very beautiful. I can tell that she is probably not a simple person. She must be someone who has experienced many ups and downs. If you want to pursue her, you still have to work hard to get a good reputation."

Han Shusheng thought about it and sighed:
"It's more important to cure my sister's illness first."

Although they gave up the idea, Master Zhou and Scholar Han still kept their eyes on Caiyi.

Caiyi's money was quickly distributed.

The largest bag had been completely emptied. These gamblers seemed to be very interested in this kind of jackpot and were very eager to take it.

There was still a layer of money left in the middle bag, and most of those who were not so addicted to gambling basically took out a copper coin, thinking that they would definitely win tonight.

As for the last small bag, it was the least distributed, with half left.

After all, it was getting late, and the traveling porters had to leave the forest and go home as soon as possible. Coming here to get the copper coins would be a waste of time.

Seeing that no one else was coming, Caiyi simply closed her stall, found an alley, and walked back to Zuo Chen happily, as if seeking credit.

"Well done."

Zuo Chen smiled and praised Caiyi.

Han Shusheng, who was not far away, did not see this scene, but Master Zhou saw it clearly.

He was shocked.

From the time Caiyi entered the back alley to the time she walked out, it only took a few breaths.

This requires skill!
His heart was suddenly filled with excitement and he had some thoughts of making friends with them. Then he reached out and grabbed Han Shusheng, and walked towards Zuo Chen and the others.

Han Shusheng still had a confused look on his face. Even when he arrived next to Zuo Chen and the other man, he didn't realize why this guy had pulled him over.

When his eyes fell on Caiyi, he was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses and was also shocked.

Zuo Chen glanced sideways at Mr. Zhou and said with a smile:
"Hello, young master."

"Hello, Taoist priest. I am Zhou Miao, the salt merchant from Youzhou, Zhou Xun. This is my new brother Han Bai."

After introducing himself, Zhou Miao looked at Zuo Chen with burning eyes, and also looked at Cai Yi next to him:

"Is the Taoist priest a cultivator?"

"I'll learn some tricks a little bit."

"Really!" Zhou Miao's eyes lit up: "I wonder if the chief can show me one or two tricks?"

"It's not a street trick. I refuse."

After hearing what Zuo Chen said, Zhou Miao immediately realized that he had just spoken out of turn, and hurriedly apologized:
"Master, I'm so sorry. I've loved all kinds of strange tricks since I was a child, and I can't help myself when I see them. I apologize to you."

After saying that, he took out a silver note from his pocket and wanted to put it into Zuo Chen's hand.

Zuo Chen took a look.

A share of thirty taels.

Wow, that’s equivalent to five or six years’ income of an ordinary family!

Waving his hands helplessly and politely refusing the banknote, Zuo Chen turned and asked:
"You two are going to the gambling village later, right?"

"Indeed." Young Master Zhou nodded, as if he had suddenly come to his senses, and looked at Zuo Chen with some doubt:

"Master, are you going to the gambling village too? Are monks supposed to be..."

He didn't say the second half of his sentence, but the meaning was very clear:

Isn’t it inappropriate for monks to do this?

Zuo Chen smiled nonchalantly and said, "We do have to go. Mr. Zhou, do you know when the boat will arrive?"

"It should take about an incense stick of time." Zhou Miao calculated the time that had passed and replied.

"That's it."

After thinking for a few seconds, Zuo Chen suddenly smiled and said:

"I have some things to do with the girl next to me. It's inconvenient to bring the donkey with me. Mr. Zhou, can you help me keep a stick of incense for a while?"

"Of course!" Zhou Miao was a warm-hearted person, and besides, it was not difficult to look after a donkey, so he agreed immediately.

Zuo Chen got off the donkey and walked towards the river with Caiyi. He waved and nodded to Zhou Miao from time to time. Zhou Miao also waved his hand eagerly, with an expression that said "It's absolutely safe if you leave it to me".

Caiyi was a little confused, so she leaned close to Zuo Chen's ear and asked, "Master, can we just go over there without waiting for the boat?"

"There's no need to wait until the ship arrives." Zuo Chen said with a smile:
"One stick of incense is probably enough."

……

After Zuo Chen left, Zhou Miao turned his attention back to the donkey.

"A Taoist priest riding a donkey, well, that's quite interesting."

He muttered a few words to himself, but suddenly found that the donkey looked at him with his eyes slightly tilted.

The donkey spoke, and a rough male voice came out of his mouth:

"Boy, gambling is not good."

Zhou Miao: “???”

Han Bai: “!?”
