Chapter 10 Chapter 9 The Biggest Winner of the Century

From then on, he became in a trance, and he really wanted to see the young man again, but he went to that forest many times, but he never met him again. He also speculated that the young man might be a student of the University Hall in the capital, so he kept going around in and out of the University Hall, hoping to meet him, but to no avail. The young man seemed to have descended from the sky, and he met him once, and then he never disappeared again. The chairman's father recounted in detail how the father of the adjutant who was born had told others the secret. Bai Su and I listened attentively, but the more we listened, the more confused we became.

The matter was not complicated at all—the father of the adjutant health officer met a young man with the appearance of an emperor, and told him the secrets passed down from his ancestors. But when I think about it carefully, things are extremely complicated and there are many problems. First of all, the young man was definitely not an emperor at the time, so will he really become an emperor in the future? We are not talking about myths, everything that happens should be related to reality, so if that young man becomes the emperor, there should be such a person! Who is he? This problem sounds serious, but it is actually ridiculous, because since then, and until now, there has been no emperor at all.

That is to say, there is a problem with the physiognomy of the adjutant's father, and his so-called "emperor's appearance" has no such thing at all. It is a misunderstanding and black humor. However, the physiognomy of the adjutant's father seems to have some basis, not all nonsense. There are still many problems, the adjutant's father never saw the young man again, but he should always remember his appearance──this emperor's appearance is very important, and of course he will never forget it at first sight.Judging from the circumstances, the young man should indeed have something to do with the University of the Capital. With his appearance, it should not be difficult to find out this person. How come there is no result?

Besides, didn't the adjutant's father ask for his name? What accent did the young man speak? (Once the Chinese speak, the accent of the language cannot be concealed, and it is easy to hear it.) Do young people really have such ingenuity to solve mysteries and obtain treasures?If he got the treasure, why did he leave the wooden sign? From an ordinary young man to the throne of the emperor, this is an unimaginably long distance, and there are countless passes through. Every pass is a gamble with life as a bet, a bet on life and death. To reach the destination on such a road, one must have treasures that can help people win every bet.

Not only did I have these many questions, but Bai Su also had them, and we raised them one by one. The chairman's father just shook his head──When the old man shook his head, the wrinkled skin on his face dangled, looking quite scary. He said: "I asked Adjutant Sheng all these questions, and Adjutant Sheng just shook his head, saying that he had also asked him all these questions." I hurriedly said, "What did his father say?" The old man smiled wryly: "His father didn't answer—not a single answer!" I shook my head: "This is unreasonable!"

The old man said: "Yes, Lieutenant Sheng also said the same to his father. His father said something, which shows that he doesn't have the answer, but he doesn't want to tell the answer." I wondered in my heart: "What is this for?" The old man didn't answer my question directly, he thought for a while, and then said: "According to Lieutenant Sheng's understanding, after his father met the young man in the small forest, his father left a very deep impression on this young man, It includes the young man's figure, facial features, source of voice, etc. You must know that the father of the adjutant is an expert in physiognomy, and all physiognomists pay great attention to the characteristics of others, and they will never forget it at first sight."

I was even more surprised: "Then, does the father of the adjutant know who that young man is?" The old man said: "Adjutant Sheng doesn't know the actual situation, because his father never told him clearly, but he guessed that his father knew." I spread my hands: "This is really inexplicable-he was in the grove, and when he saw the young man, he knelt down automatically, and immediately told all the secrets passed down from his ancestors, and presented the map. The other party will become the emperor, so he can't wait to make meritorious deeds. Then he should tell his descendants about the other party's identity, so that his descendants can receive the merits.

The old man reached out and grabbed my hand, and patted me on the back: "You are right. After Lieutenant Sheng learned about this, he believed in his father because he had full confidence in his father's physiognomy. You can’t read it wrong, that is to say, this young man will one day become the emperor──” I waved my hand and rushed to say: "Adjutant Sheng's confidence in his father is blind worship. Facts have proved that his father was wrong. From then to now, there has not been any emperor!" I said this very confidently, because in the grove, the father of the adjutant and the young man met, and now it has been about seventy or eighty years. During this period of time, no emperor has appeared. This is the truth.

But after I uttered these words, the chairman's father looked at me with very strange eyes, not only his eyes were strange, but his expression was even more strange, as if he never believed that I would say such a thing. I was stunned for a moment, and for a moment I couldn't think of what I said wrong, but Bai Su made a sound that seemed to be a sigh but not a sigh. I immediately looked at her, and saw that her expression was the same as that of the chairman's father. exactly the same! Although it is the same expression, when it appears on Bai Su, the information expressed is quite different, so I can completely understand why she has such an expression.She was blaming me: Why didn't you even think of this, it's too wrong!

When I received such a message from Bai Su, I was stunned for a moment, then suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in my mind, and I thought of what I just said, which seems to be an indisputable fact on the surface, but in fact Childish to the point. As soon as I thought of this, in the next less than a tenth of a second, I thought of many things, and the things I thought of made me extremely shocked. Every time I thought of one, it was like being struck by lightning Same thing. So my situation at that time was completely out of control because of the shock. From the eyes of others, it was scary and funny.

First, I jumped up, my eyes were straightened, and I couldn't help making a strange cry—that was my reaction when I realized how naive what I just said was. I just said that in the past seventy or eighty years, no emperor has appeared. No "Emperor" appeared. "Emperor" is just a name, which has rich content. In the simplest terms, it means that there is one person who can dominate the fate of all people in a country, and can do whatever he wants. There are a large group of people who are loyal and help him run amok. Such a person is the "Emperor". No matter how the name "emperor" is changed, as long as the content remains the same, changing the name to whatever it wants is in fact equal to being the emperor. Since the adjutant's father and the young man met in the grove, there has indeed been no "emperor", but has there ever been such a "person"? This question, really do not need to think too much, anyone can have the answer. Have! There is such a "person"! Thinking of this, I jumped up and down a few times, like a zombie. It's because the answer is so surprising. Originally, the answer has always been there, and it is a well-known historical fact, but suddenly this historical fact is connected with a story that is completely within the scope of legend, which is shocking. In the next less than a minute, my thoughts were so chaotic, all kinds of thoughts came one after another, almost bursting my brain, so I kept jumping up and down, from side to side, and then again. Jumping back, completely unable to control my actions--and at the time, I had no idea what I was doing, of course, because everything I thought of, everything surprised me, and the surprise was increasing. What's more. I first thought that this "person" was indeed in the capital when he was still a young man.And it was natural for him to appear in the woods near the Capital University Hall, because he had a certain relationship with the Capital University Hall at that time. (I put quotation marks around the word "person" to distinguish him from ordinary people.) He is different from everyone, but he cannot be called "emperor" because he does not have this title.In some people's minds, he is even a "god", but of course he is not a god, so he had to add quotation marks when calling him a human being, to show that he is the only one in the world, and he is the only one.I'm just narrating the facts, without any respect or depreciation for this "person". ) (Actually, this is a typical example of self-deception - why not use the name "emperor"? But I feel that the name "emperor" is not a good name, so I discard it. However, I know that the content of "emperor" is so cute, He was not willing to give up at all, and accepted it completely. So when I was like me, when I mentioned him in the narrative, I didn’t know what to call him, so I had to call him "human", which was really troublesome.) So when he was in the capital at that time, it was only natural that he met the father of the adjutant. Although he was only a young man at the time, since he will become a "person" who can dominate everything according to his own will in the future, he must have obvious characteristics displayed on the outside. When he meets the father of the adjutant who is proficient in physiognomy, it can be seen naturally── That's why the scene in the grove appeared. What will happen next? The possibility of an accurate answer to this question is zero.Even if you want to imagine it, it is very difficult, so you have to do it reluctantly. It can be imagined that if a person will become great in the future to the point of approaching God, he must have had great ambitions very early, so when the father of the adjutant Sheng met him in the grove, he obviously lost his composure.At that time, the young people were only surprised at the beginning, but later they were calm about the abnormal words and deeds of the adjutant's father. This kind of demeanor has proved that he is by no means an ordinary person. However, no matter how firm a person's ambition is and how clear his goal is, even if he tells himself a thousand times a day that he must aspire to turn the world upside down and rebuild the universe, he will never be sure of success when he is still a young man. So what happened in the grove must have played a very important role for this "person". This "significant role" can be divided into two aspects. Let me talk about the simple aspect first: he did not get the treasure named "Victory Stone".So what it did was only a great encouragement to him spiritually.It gave him unlimited confidence to carry out his actions of changing the dynasty and seizing the world. He already has this destiny. From the point of view of destiny, he will ascend to the throne of commanding the world sooner or later, but whether he has confidence or not will determine whether the process will be smooth or difficult. With confidence, of course, it is easier to succeed. Think about the success of this young man who looked up at the sky in the grove near the university hall in the capital, and you can find that his success is also a rare example in human history—in less than thirty years In 20 years, from a young man with nothing to become the master of 10 million square kilometers and hundreds of millions of people, he recognized the second in human history, who can recognize the first?It really is the vast land, ups and downs controlled by him, the happiness and pain of hundreds of millions of families, all come from his single thought! In this successful course, there are indeed many incredible success stories.If you regard the whole matter as a rare gamble, it means that he has been in the position of winner almost all the time during the gambling process, accumulating victories time after time, and finally became a big winner. Too many times, he saw that he had to lose, not only would he lose, but he would lose completely, but at the critical moment, he could always miraculously get a good card and reverse the loss into a win. In the entire process of recreating the universe, this kind of miracle happened countless times. In this gamble, he truly achieved every bet and won! This kind of situation made the problem more complicated: Did he get the "victory stone"? The chairman's father obviously answered in the affirmative to this question, because he said more than once that in the past few decades, whoever wins every gamble will be the winner of the treasure. And the biggest winner on earth in this century, and the one who keeps on miraculously, the one who wins every bet is this "person". And he happened to have the opportunity to know the secret about the treasure. Putting it all together, apart from him, it seems that there is no one else who may be the owner of the treasure. Although such a conclusion is pure speculation, without any factual basis, without any actual proof.But under the premise that the whole thing can only be hypothesized, this conclusion is not unacceptable. Assume further, how did he get the "Victory Stone"? There are many possibilities. Maybe after he knew the secret, he saw the lake from a high place by chance when he climbed up to look at and point out the mountains and rivers, and he memorized the graphics on the map, so he knew that the treasure was in the lake── Of course, in terms of his ingenuity and ability to become the king of a country in the future, it is a breeze to decipher those four formulas. So he got the victory stone. Maybe he just came to the small island of "Haiziwai" by chance, and reached into the small cave like many people, and just after the earthquake, the treasure was shaken from the big rock and he took it away. Maybe it was because he recognized the terrain and just happened to encounter an earthquake, so he got the treasure easily. No matter how many "maybe" speculations there are, the premise is that the treasure falls into his hands. If the treasure did not fall into his hands at all, then he had nothing to do with the whole thing. He was able to win every bet and become a big winner in the biggest gamble in human history. There was another reason, which had nothing to do with the Victory Stone. How can it be determined whether he has obtained the treasure or not? I quickly asked myself this question many times in my heart, and every time the answer was the same: there is no way to define it. All the records about this "person", whether official or unofficial, gossip or insider information, memories of people around him or other people's assumptions, there is no record that he owns a thing that emits light . Although there are many records that he likes to be alone, especially at critical moments, when he needs to decide how to bet, how much to bet, and how to use strategies to make himself a winner, he must be alone and not allow anyone to disturb him.There are also records that he is different from ordinary people, day and night are reversed, and in the quieter night, what he is doing alone, naturally only he knows. However, such records are not enough to prove that he has the "victory stone" He won the whole world, the sea and the sky, probably all because of his own majestic talent and strategy, and there is no basis for any "emperor appearance". I kept thinking about this before I calmed down and stopped beating. I stopped and looked at Bai Su first.Bai Su obviously thought that that "person" was the biggest winner of this century earlier than me, but I admire her for being so calm. I looked at her, believing that she must know my thought process just now, so I didn't need to say anything more, I said directly: "There is no evidence at all that can prove that he obtained the victory stone." Bai Su nodded, agreeing. Then the two of us looked at the chairman's father together. Of course, the tacit understanding between the chairman's father and me is not as far as that between me and Bai Su, so he must first affirm my thoughts. He asked me: "You already have a hypothetical person in your heart. This person will win every gamble, and is the big winner in any gamble?" I said: "Of course, otherwise, why do you think I was so shocked just now!" The chairman's father swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and his voice was a little strange: "It's him! It's him! The father of the adjutant told him the secret back then. He found the treasure. The treasure is the winning stone, so that he can win every bet. No matter what form of gambling he is playing, no matter how crazy his gambling seems to be, no matter how much he suffers setbacks in the process of gambling, he always wins in the end—he always wins, like a miracle, winning the world! " What the old man said was exactly what I had just thought.And after he repeated it, I suddenly realized that the excitement, surprise, and emotions caused by being too unimaginable quickly calmed down. At this time, I have already reached a preliminary conclusion on the whole matter. I said to the chairman and his son who were eagerly waiting for the answer: "The whole thing, according to my opinion, can stop here, come to an end, draw a full stop, just treat it as a legend, and don't have to treat it as a reality anymore." Facts that have happened in life." Although the chairman and his son didn't say anything, they looked very disapproving.I looked at Bai Su, and got a wink of encouragement and agreement from her.So I added: "The whole thing I'm talking about is the real whole thing. From the so-called Nian Gengyao's gambling with the Persian Hu people when he was young, including the treasure called the Victory Stone, etc., it can be regarded as They are some non-existent legends—there are countless such legends in ancient and modern times, all over the world, so there is no need to delve into them!" The chairman's father remained silent, but the chairman said angrily: "If this person becomes a big winner by relying on the treasures of the Nian family, he must give some benefits to the Nian family." It is an unwritten rule in gambling that the winner always takes out some of the winnings and distributes them to relevant people, which is called "red money".The amount of red money is of course directly proportional to what the winner has won, and also proportional to how much status the person who gets the red money occupies in the winner's mind and how much he has played in the winning process. Therefore, if the chairman said "it should be somewhat beneficial", if this sentence becomes true, it will be a big deal! Just think about it, the winner wins the whole country, and if the winner wins by relying on the winning stone, then the benefits (red money) that the chairman can get should be considerable! I looked at the chairman, speechless for a moment. The chairman looked at his father, and I also looked at the old man, only to see that the old man's expression was very sighing, and he didn't take it seriously.I believe that my expression at this time is the same as that of the old man, because we have the same thoughts in our hearts. The chairman owns a powerful bank, and there are countless businesses of all kinds. He has so much property that even if he can live for 8,000 years, he can spend it no matter what he wants.But he was still not satisfied, and wanted to benefit from that big winner. From this we can see that there is no end to human greed and desire.The chairman looks very different from Sheng Nianzu, but they are the same in terms of endless desire. What surprised me was the attitude of the old man. The old man seemed to be open-minded, but he didn't have such an idea. This can be seen from the expression he looks at the chairman.Under his father's gaze, the chairman was a little hard to resist. He seemed to be talking to himself: "It's all because of the victory stone that he can become a big winner. We should really share some of the benefits!" I snorted to the chairman: "That's the problem—I don't think he's a big winner because of the power of some winning stone." After I said this, I knew that my words would hardly dispel the chairman's desire for red money, so I looked at the old man.I mean, since the old man thinks the same as me, he will naturally agree with my words, and emphasize that the chairman may not listen to my words, but he should obey his father's words. In fact, what kind of desire the chairman has has nothing to do with me, but I finally got to know each other. I don't want him to turn his life, which could have been completely happy, into a miserable life because of such an unfulfilled wish. . (Many painful lives come from unfulfilled wishes.) (The more unfulfilled desires, the deeper the pain.) (So ​​if you are content, you will always be happy.) (The pain and happiness of life are really decided by people themselves!) So I don't want to see the chairman make trouble for himself. The old man and I looked at each other for a while before speaking. When he opened his mouth, what he said was beyond my expectation. He shook his head, first denied my words with his movements, and then said: "In order to become the biggest winner in this century, or even in human history, there can be no second reason besides the help of the Victory Stone !" He gritted his teeth, and his tone was so affirmative, which really baffled me——Since he thinks so, why does he not take the chairman's desire seriously? I looked at him, waiting for him to give an explanation, but the old man looked at me with the same expression, asking me to explain. I waved my hand and raised my voice: "First, there is no evidence to prove that he got the winning stone. Second, even if he got the winning stone, I don't believe that there is such a treasure that can make people win every gamble. Must win!" The old man took a breath: "This is a matter of belief." I said it more thoroughly: "That's right, I don't even believe in such sayings as 'sincerity leads to spirit' and 'belief leads to success'." The old man shook his head: "My way of looking at things is different from yours. You must first confirm that there is a cause before admitting that there is an effect. But I think that since the effect is actually there, there must be a cause." I spread my hands: "Our views are not contradictory—I know that there is an effect, and I also know that there must be a cause, but I don't think the cause is the winning stone." The old man was a little unreasonable: "If it's not a victory stone, what is it?" I shook my head: "I don't know—there must be a reason, but I don't know what." Instead, the old man said: "It's unreasonable for you to say that!" I couldn't help laughing: "Of course I'm right. My reasoning is that Nian Gengyao had the winning stone in his hands back then. He didn't become a big winner, but a big loser!" The point I raised is an irrefutable historical fact, and it can also prove that the so-called winning stone does not have the ability to make people win every gamble. This is the strongest point of the whole thing. After I said this point, the chairman and his son were silent, and Bai Su was silent. I don't know what they were thinking-in fact, it was useless no matter what they thought, this alone can overthrow everything There is a legend about the winning stone that can make people win every bet! I walked back and forth a few steps: "So I don't think there is any need to discuss this matter further. The conclusion is that even if there is a treasure like the Victory Stone, it is useless, so why bother to delve into it?" Only then did the old man break the silence, and he said slowly: "There are reasons to believe—at least it can be assumed that although the great general had the victory stone in his hand back then, he didn't use it. During his bet with Emperor Yongzheng, he There is no winning stone that can make him win every bet." When I heard him say this, I was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed loudly: "Not only is he facing a life-and-death crisis, but the whole family is also facing a life-and-death situation. Time to use it? It’s because the Victory Stone couldn’t make him win, so he had to lose!” The old man was very calm, he said: "Because he is full of confidence in the function of the victory stone, so he will use it at the best time." I sneered: "What is the best time? Is it the best time when another head grows from his neck?" The old man shook his head, but before he made a sound, Bai Su suddenly said, "I don't think Nian Gengyao thought of using the Victory Stone at all." When Bai Su said this, I was very surprised, but the chairman and his son showed great admiration. It can be seen that what Bai Su said was in line with their intentions. I looked at Bai Su, and Bai Su said: "Because Nian Gengyao didn't want to bet against Emperor Yongzheng at all, or he didn't dare to bet against Emperor Yongzheng at all!"
