Book 8: Chapter 3: Lucky gambler

Three sticks of incense shone in the darkness of the mountains like fireflies, flickering in and out.

Ever since he took hold of them, weird movements and noises erupted around him. He Fu Gui desperately braced his body which was shuddering like falling leaves as he walked down the mountain, step by step.

Whatever you do, dont look back!

He repeated Three Inch Golden Lotuss words over and over again in his mind. He kept his head lowered, his eyes fixed on the road ahead of him to avoid falling over. If the incense sticks broke, his life would also be cut short. The two great immortals had especially reminded him of that.

Oh, Fu Gui! His dads voice suddenly came from behind him, causing his heart to tense. His breath caught and he almost died on the spot.

Whats that in your hands? Let dad take a look, ok? A hand was placed on his shoulder. The sudden force almost caused the already unsteady He Fu Gui to fall. Yet the chill spreading from his heart gave him a burst of strength and he scurried into the trees.

His dad had been dead for over a decade His mom had also passed away three years ago. Although he shouldnt have been afraid of his own parents, he had gambled away his dads business and angered his mom to death. He had a very guilty conscience.

Fu Gui, youre still gambling! Right as he thought of his mom, a blow struck his neck and his back became heavy. It seemed as if his mom had climbed onto his back. His legs buckled and he finally sprawled to the ground. Yet he kept his arms rigidly extended, preventing the incense from being extinguished.

Many resentful spirits, and many people you know who have passed away will come looking for you the moment you leave the childrens cemetery. He Fu Gui recalled the words of the two great immortals. However, they wont kill you, and will merely scare you. As long as you arent afraid, as long as you keep the fierce desire to become the god of gamblers in your heart, as long as you can make it back home and stick the incense into the burner filled with chicken blood rice, your days of suffering will be over. You will be able to live as you please for the rest of your life.

The process of becoming the god of gamblers wasnt complicated. He also had plenty of fierce desire in his heart. Yet remaining unafraid was too difficult!

The moment he fell over, his face was immediately covered by weeds. Yet he heard many voices in his ears. Countless malicious people surrounded him, chirping and buzzing with sounds that werent human. Yet they also didnt sound like insects or birds in his ears. A numbing sensation spread from his heart.

He didnt dare look up. He really wanted to remain unmoving like this until dawn. However, the incense sticks continued to burn. Although they were tall enough to burn for two to three hours, they wouldnt last until dawn. Especially since something cold and clammy seemed to be climbing up his arms, trying to pry his fingers open and make the incense sticks that could grant his wishes fall to the floor!

PCTG Chapter 1

Fu Gui! Fu Gui! Old He! He Fu Gui! Different voices called to him. He was shoved and pulled. They seemed to be trying to keep him in place. A moment of inattention and he would look backwards.

He knew he had to get up quickly and leave. Otherwise, he wouldnt be able to turn this resentful aura into luck. Yet when he forced his eyes shut and stood up, he felt his body become even heavier. A large slab of ice seemed to be resting on his back.

Fu Gui, you wastrel! His old ma cursed as she repeatedly slapped his head. He could even feel a pair of withered hands covered in maggots rubbing the back of his head. Where are you going carrying your old ma. Put me down!

He really wanted to, but the thing on his back was stuck fast like maggots in bone. He felt another weight and sensed his dad had climbed up too. His body bent from the pressure. He could only carry them as he continued down the mountain. Cold sweat, heavy breathing and sinister giggling accompanied his steps. He stumbled and fell once more.

A womans head appeared on the ground and their eyes met. He Fu Gui let out a yell and shrank backwards. He recalled that she was a widow from their town who committed suicide jumping from a building to escape rape. She had landed head first, her bones shattering and becoming a bloody mess. At this moment, her head was against the ground as she glared askew at him, as if he was her hated enemy.

It wasnt me! It wasnt me! Involuntarily, He Fu Gui started shouting. The incense in his hands shook and almost dropped. Luckily, his fierce obsession supported him and he narrowly avoided letting go.

Dont hold me back. Im going to become the god of gamblers. I want to win every bet. No one can stop me! Having been frightened to the extreme, he instead grew braver as he yelled. His timid yet ruthless voice echoed in the empty forest, as of countless people were shouting along with him.

Of course. Havent you heard? Even gods and spirits fear the wicked. Ordinary shoes attitude had improved somewhat. You turned the most terrifying, most extreme Yin resentment into your lucky star of gambling. When you gamble now, no matter what you encounter, theres no way you can lose!

He Fu Gui leapt up in delight. The thought that we would dominate the tables henceforth almost made him mad with joy. He slapped himself several times, confirming he wasnt dreaming, before falling to his knees. He kowtowed to the two great immortals, his head thudding against the ground.

We dont need your kowtows. Were just making a transaction. Remember, just gamble as you please. When the time comes, we will tell you what we need you to do. Your gambling luck was gathered with our help. Im sure youre aware of the consequences if you break our agreement. Its definitely not something you can stand. Three Inch Golden Lotus said, a ruthlessness in her voice that covered He Fu Gui in cold sweat. An inexplicable yet concrete fear arose in his heart, but he was too excited and immediately ignored the strange sensation. Especially since it was too late for him to turn back.

He Fu Gui continued kowtowing while hurriedly responding, I definitely wont break our agreement. I will do whatever the two great immortals ask of me, even if you want my life

Your life is completely worthless. Obediently fulfilling our wish is enough! Ordinary shoes said.

Yes, yes! He stopped beating his head against the ground, ignoring his foreheads bloody state and no longer afraid of the so-called great immortals. Ill go for a round of gambling right away.

Not waiting until tomorrow? Do you not believe our words, and want to try it out for yourself? Ordinary shoes said.

Thats not it. Didnt he have zero doubts when we first told him? Three Inch Golden Lotus kindly defended He Fu Gui. Even if this person isnt the biggest gambling addict in the world, he would rank within the top three. Now he has the ability, of course hes immediately going to go gamble. But will the casino let you enter in your current state? Also, do you have any money?

Two greatgreat immortals might not know this. Well, casinos, they dont care what you look like as long as you have the money to gamble. Its just, about the money He Fu Gui revealed a troubled expression. Even the incense had been bought on credit, and he hadnt eaten a single grain of rice today. How could he have money for gambling?

Huhu, this is what is meant by rebirth through adversity. Three Inch Golden Lotus sounded as if she were either crying or laughing. However, you didnt forget that wed always be with you, right? Like mother and child. Do you need to worry about money if were with you?

He Fu Guis heart clenched, suddenly recalling that fact. He felt a moment of fear but he no longer had the right to refuse. Besides, if he could gamble and always win, he was willing to pay any price. Therefore, he immediately agreed.

Before he could nod his head, the two great immortals suddenly rose into the air and dissolved into black smoke. They shrunk until they became two ruby stud earrings that attached themselves to He Fu Guis earlobes.

He felt piercing pain in his ears and reached out with his hands. They were covered in blood. He had ended up with ear piercings.

Itll be easier for you to hear us if were by your ears. Three Inch Golden Lotus laughed by his left ear. Besides, luck is expressed via the ears. The moment we left, even if we didnt exact punishment, your luck will flow away through the piercings. However unlucky you were before, the word more will be added to it. Therefore, itll be good if youre obedient.

Sis, give him money. Ordinary shoes was a little impatient.

Three Inch Golden Lotus murmured in agreement. He Fu Gui immediately felt something appear in his hand. Raising it, he saw it was actually a stack of hundred yuan bills! .

That night, after He Fu Gui made it into the casino using all his wits and spit, the god of gamblers was born. He stunned everyone. In one night, he won over a hundred thousand from such a small place. Then, he started betting at all the casinos in the nearby counties. He went wherever he heard had casinos. In a short half months time, he accumulated millions.

With every casino almost going bankrupt, they had tried everything. Cheat? The cheaters inexplicably messed up! Send people to threaten, or even kill him? Those who were sent all suffered horrifying accidents!

Finally, all the dealers ran at the sight of him. They claimed he was protected by the heavens and it was impossible for him to lose. All types of gamblers viewed him as a legend, and a role model. The dealers ended up making the money lost to He Fu Gui back from these people. The tiny place was no longer able to contain him. Someone who had previously argued over a penny till his face turned red now didnt take places with low limits of a few hundred thousand seriously. The casinos here also didnt dare welcome him anymore.

Therefore, he wanted to gamble throughout the nation, and make his way across the world. The two great immortals that followed him always actually agreed with his thoughts. However, his identity was no longer the same as before. Therefore, he decided first work on his public image. He would hire a secretary from a large city and a ex-special forces bodyguard with computer skills. It was best if the secretary was knowledgeable in the law, because the two great immortals said what they had to do would require a legal consultant.

He felt is luck was incredible, because the moment he had this thought, a beautiful young city girl came looking for a job. Her name was Yue Xiao Xia.
