During the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, there was a deserted mansion in the southern suburbs of Suzhou City. According to legend, it used to be a large entertainment venue with actors, singers, dancers, and gamblers. As long as there were entertainment items in that era, there were all kinds of entertainment items in this large venue. Therefore, at that time, this large entertainment club had an endless stream of customers, whether it was day or night, it was often full, and the business was very prosperous.

Later, for some reason, this gold-eliminating cave decayed overnight, and this big house was also deserted.

Some people say that on a dark and windy night, a group of strongmen broke into the clubhouse and ransacked it.

Some people also said that the clubhouse was secretly conducting illegal transactions and was being investigated by the government. Overnight, the clubhouse was closed.

No matter what the reason, the clubhouse was gone, leaving only this dilapidated and desolate mansion.

There was usually no one in the house. Occasionally, people on their way would stop here if they missed Sutou.

One day, a scholar surnamed Li went to Beijing to take the exam. He set off from Huzhou, passed through Suzhou, and stayed overnight all the way. When the city gate was closed outside Suzhou, Li Xiucai had no choice.

After Li Xiucai arrived at the door of the big house, she found that the door was open, and it was deserted inside, so she knew that it was an abandoned house. Since there was no one, she didn't need to say hello, and went in to avoid the cold, and it would be overnight.

Li Xiu was very tired after a day of walking. After entering, she tidied up a little and lay down on the ground to rest.

I don't know how long it took, but Li Xiucai was awakened by a rustling sound in a trance.

Li Xiucai thought to himself: When the Three Classics were quiet in the middle of the night, could someone come? But the sound didn't sound like a human voice, could it be a ghost?

Thinking of this, Li Xiucai couldn't help but be afraid, but then he thought: I, Li, a dignified seven-foot man, do it right, do it really, do I still fear monsters?

Therefore, he got up to check.

Li Xiucai quietly crouched under the window and looked into the yard. Through the bright moonlight, Li Xiucai found that a large group of men and women came to the yard, about 30 or so. Strangely, this group of people was very short and seemed to be from Lilliput, about half a meter tall, and they were all dressed up as dancers and martial artists. Li Xiucai counted carefully and found that there were a total of 30 villains, 15 dancers, and 15 martial artists.

In an moment, the thirty dancers were arranged in six rows, three rows of dancers, five in each row, three rows of five in each row, standing face to face, looking at the door from time to time, as if waiting for someone.

When Li Xiucai saw such a formation and thought it was a gathering of immortals, he quietly crouched under the window to peek.

Suddenly, two shiny things rolled in. The two things chased each other, their eyes dazzling, and sometimes they made a sound of impact. The two shiny things chased the dancers and martial artists until they stopped in the middle of the queue, just like leading the inspection team, standing in the middle.

Li Xiucai took a closer look and found that each of these two shiny things had six sides, just like two dice. Each side had eyes, some had one eye, some had two eyes, and some had three eyes.

The two glowing things suddenly jumped twice and rolled out of the middle of the queue. Suddenly, the dancer and martial arts were entangled, beating each other, tearing each other's clothes during the fight, and silk was everywhere.

After a moment, one of the glowing things said, "Okay, okay, you all stop."

The dancers and Wu Sheng were frozen, and immediately stayed where they were, and some still maintained their movements just now.

Another glowing thing said, "The reason why these people are so obedient is because the two of us are good at training. Look, let them stop and let them move, haha."

The other one said, "Yeah, yeah, we still have great powers. Humans like to revolve around us and listen to our orders, haha, I'm dying of laughter."

When Li Xiucai heard this, she realized that these two things were not people, but monsters.

Li Xiucai read the sages and was upright, so he planned to subdue the demons and get rid of the monsters. He stood up, ran to the yard, and shouted, "What monster dares do anything wrong here?"

When these dancers, Wu Sheng, and the two glowing things saw Li Xiucai come out, they immediately scattered and fled in fright, and disappeared without a trace in an instant.

Li Xiucai searched the yard for a while and couldn't find it, so he went back to the house to rest.

The next day, Li Xiucai went to the backyard to look for it, found a worn pocket in the corner, opened it, and found two dice and thirty gambling chips inside.

Li Xiucai only realized at this time: It turned out that the dice became the essence.
