Chapter 30

"Surprisingly, all of them are made of gold bricks!"

Wang Zhong looked at the Bagua diagram laid out in the casino hall, speaking with disbelief.

The gold bricks here do not refer to bricks made of gold, but rather bricks made through a special firing process. When the gold bricks come out of the kiln, they need to be doused with the blood of a fierce tiger. Because of their ability to ward off evil and neutralize negative energy, they have always been a tribute to the imperial palace and are rarely seen in the civilian world. Due to their price being comparable to gold, they are called gold bricks.

With this Bagua diagram, even the most intense negative energy can be neutralized. No wonder the Macau Grand Lisboa Casino has stood firm for decades!

"Mr. Wang, you have a keen eye. Every year, countless feng shui masters come to the Grand Lisboa Hotel, but Mr. Wang is only the second person to see through the secret of the gold bricks!"

Because Wang Zhong's attention was entirely on the gold bricks, he didn't notice when Stanley Ho had approached.

"Mr. Ho, there's no need to flatter me. Although the feng shui setup here is ingeniously designed, these are not the core of the Grand Lisboa Casino!"

Wang Zhong's lips curled up, and he said with a hint of helplessness.

"Oh, where does Mr. Wang think the core of the Grand Lisboa Casino's feng shui array lies?"

Stanley Ho asked with an unchanged expression, but the flash of surprise in his eyes was caught by Wang Zhong.

"Do you think I'm flattering you, Mr. Ho?"

Wang Zhong said with a smile, but his eyes glanced at the statue of Guan Yu, the God of Wealth, in the center of the hall!

Guan Yu, also known as Guan Yun Chang, was a famous general of the Shu Kingdom during the Three Kingdoms period, renowned for his loyalty and righteousness. He was posthumously honored by successive emperors and eventually became a deity.

The Jin merchants, impressed by Guan Yu's loyalty in escorting the emperor's sister-in-law over a thousand miles, venerated him as the god of wealth. Gradually, Guan Yu became known as the God of Martial Wealth!

The secret Wang Zhong mentioned was hidden in the statue of the God of Wealth in the hall!

"This place is a bit noisy. Please, Mr. Wang, come to the inner room for some tea!"

Stanley Ho's face changed, and he extended his hand to invite Wang Zhong into the inner room.

Wang Zhong knew his limits and only hinted at it. Stanley Ho understood, but the people around them were left in the dark.

"Mr. Wang is truly a master!"

Stanley Ho extended his thumb and praised loudly.

"Over the decades since the Grand Lisboa Casino opened, only a handful of people have seen through its secrets. Mr. Wang, at your age, to have such keen insight, I am truly impressed!"

"The casino is a place that connects to the spirit world, with unstable magnetic fields. Ordinary feng shui arrays are hard to achieve the desired effect. Keeping and venerating ghosts and deities is a good method!"

Wang Zhong gently played with the tea leaves, directly pointing out the key.

"Every person has three flames on their head: fortune, rank, and longevity. The ghosts and deities will temporarily suppress these three flames of the gamblers entering the casino, causing their luck to decline, thus achieving the house's advantage!"

"This kind of feng shui technique has transcended the level of skill and become a form of art! The world regards this as a supernatural ability, so it is also called supernatural feng shui!"

"To avoid being disturbed by ghosts and deities and to improve their luck, gamblers from all over the world try every possible method. Some wear talismans, some carry charms, and some even carry women's menstrual items!"

Wang Zhong said with a smile.

"Talismans and charms are understandable, but how can carrying a woman's unclean items improve one's luck?"

The casino's technical director, Lin Dong, asked with disbelief.

"Women's unclean items are impure, and ghosts and deities detest them. Therefore, they will not suppress the three flames of the person carrying them, indirectly leading to better luck!"

Wang Zhong explained with a smile.

"Yes, Master Situ also said the same thing!"

Stanley Ho nodded, thinking that this Master Wang was truly a person of great ability!

"Master Situ? Situ Fazheng?!"

Wang Zhong couldn't help but ask the casino king.

"Yes, it is Situ Fazheng, the Ghost King of Macau. Do you know Master Situ, Mr. Wang?!"

Stanley Ho nodded affirmatively, somewhat curious. Situ Fazheng only privately served Macau casinos and was not well-known outside, but he didn't expect Wang Zhong to have heard of him.

Situ Fazheng practiced the Six Divinities and Chunfeng Dao techniques from a young age, excelling in Daoist feng shui, fortune enhancement, and fate alteration. In 1988, he opened a school in Macau and subsequently established the Macau Taoist Association, Chunfeng Immortal Temple, Chunfeng Dao Six Divinities Pavilion, Chinese Metaphysics and Daoist Techniques Research Institute, and the Macau International Golden Buddha Temple.

He guided the feng shui of multiple Macau casinos and was known as the Fortune Star due to his effectiveness.

He once hosted the TVB metaphysics program "Hong Kong Strange Tales"!

What truly elevated him to the status of a metaphysical authority was his role as a feng shui witness in the 2009 dispute over the billion-dollar inheritance of Gong Xinru!

In 1982, Situ Fazheng had not yet opened his school but privately served many Macau casinos, known for his ability to capture ghosts, earning him the nickname "Ghost King of Macau"!

"I have heard of him, a disciple of the Six Divinities Master Li Chunfeng!"

Wang Zhong said with respect.

Li Chunfeng, the Six Divinities Master, was born in the early Tang Dynasty and left behind the prophetic book "The Backward Pushing Chart." There are few records of him in official history, but many in unofficial accounts.

The Empress Wu Zetian, feeling her days were numbered, ordered Yuan Tian Gang and Li Chunfeng to find her tomb. She gave each of them a copper coin and a hairpin as tokens.

A few months later, Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tian Gang returned to the capital to report.

Unexpectedly, they had found the same dragon site.

Yuan and Li argued, each claiming it was their discovery. Wu Zetian ordered the soil above the tomb to be removed to find their tokens.

In the end, the hairpin was found to have magically passed through the square hole of the copper coin.

The two feng shui masters became friends because of this incident!

Legend has it that Li Chunfeng did not die of old age but attained immortality and became a deity.

The Six Divinities Dao is the lineage left by Li Chunfeng in the human world!

Stanley Ho, being old, felt somewhat fatigued and soon became tired. He had a check for 21 million Hong Kong dollars and 200,000 in chips presented to Wang Zhong, and instructed the casino's technical director, Lin Dong, to entertain him. The casino king then retired to the inner room.

Wang Zhong, holding the chips, was led by Lin Dong into the bustling casino.

A waiter quickly approached Lin Dong and whispered something, causing his face to turn grim.

"Mr. Wang, I'm very sorry, but the casino has encountered a small problem!"

Lin Dong apologized and followed the waiter to the casino hall.

"Small, small, small!"

"Win! Win again!"

Suddenly, an excited shout rang out.

The dealer looked at the blond young man sitting on the right with fear.

In just the past half-hour, this man had won 3 million Macanese patacas!

And he showed no signs of stopping!

The dealer looked at the dice cup on the table with fear. The man's almost supernatural hearing had already shaken his confidence.

"Hurry up, are you afraid to lose?"

A gambler who had been following the house called out.

The young man, seeing the dealer's slow movements, couldn't help but smirk.

"You can step down."

The technical director, Lin Dong, replaced the exhausted dealer and looked coldly at the blond young man.

"Robert Roberts, the French gambling king, debuted at twenty and was listed as an unwelcome guest by the Alaska Casino in 1980. In 1981, he was listed as an unwelcome guest by the Tokyo Casino. Do you plan to cause trouble in Macau this year?"

"Lin Dong, the disciple of the Asian gambling king Stanley Ho, known as the Electric Hand, is the current technical director of the Macau Grand Lisboa Casino, skilled in the dice cup!"

The French gambling king, Robert Roberts, was not surprised that his identity was revealed. If the Grand Lisboa Casino lacked such capabilities, it would have been devoured by gambling experts from around the world long ago.

"But you are not my match!"

"Whether you are my match or not, we'll see!"

Lin Dong's face turned pale. He apologized to the surrounding gamblers and had the top-tier private room opened.

Roberts shrugged and followed Lin Dong into the elevator without a care.

Several gamblers who wanted to follow were politely refused by the waiters. Since Wang Zhong was a VIP personally escorted by Lin Dong, no waiter blocked him.

The group, led by the waiter, entered a top-tier private room!

The private room was not only luxuriously decorated but also had all kinds of gambling equipment.

Lin Dong and Roberts sat on opposite sides of the long table, and the atmosphere was tense. Lin Dong's aura rose, and just as everyone thought the battle was about to begin, Roberts grinned.

"What's the point of a two-person game? I wonder if this gentleman would like to join?"

"Me?"

Wang Zhong pointed at his nose in surprise, looking incredulous.

"Yes!"

Roberts nodded lightly.

"Roberts, Mr. Wang is just an ordinary person. This is a battle between you and me!"

Lin Dong didn't want to involve Wang Zhong and said angrily.

"You are not my match. A month ago, the top-ranked Asian gambler, Suzuki Daixing, was defeated by me!"

Roberts looked at Lin Dong with disdain and a hint of contempt.

"The Gourd Demon was defeated?"

Lin Dong looked at Roberts in surprise. Suzuki Daixing was a Japanese gambling expert who, since his debut, had won the nickname "Gourd Demon" for his unpredictable skills. He won the championship at the 1980 Asian Gambling Skills Conference, and Lin Dong had been defeated by him three times.

The Gourd Demon had become a curse for the Electric Hand Lin Dong!

How could this be?

How could the Gourd Demon lose?

If the top-ranked Gourd Demon lost, what chance did he have?

Lin Dong's mind was in chaos!

Seeing Lin Dong's disarray, a cunning look appeared in Roberts' eyes.
