Chapter 48: I Ching

"I want to know why I always lose when I go to the casino? I also learned some methods from other people, and when I see other people win money with these methods, I always lose money when I use them, why is that? Sometimes I win hundreds of dollars, and who knows how soon I lose again. Ah Yan said dejectedly that he had lost his spirit when it came to losing.

"Haha...... In fact, winning and losing money are also contributed to many reasons, let me explain from another angle, you first tell me your birthday, including what time you were born. ”

Ah Yu told Zhou Gong about his birth time, Zhou Gong turned over the paper with the coordinates just drawn, and wrote the year, month and day of Ah Yu's birthday on it, and then discharged Ah Yu's eight characters below, and then discharged the Great Luck and the Passing Year, and finally marked the ten gods on the eight characters and the Great Universiade.

After doing all this, Zhou Gong looked at the words on the paper and pondered for more than ten minutes, and finally raised his head and looked at Ah Yu and said, "Your life is not suitable for gambling, and it is inevitable that you will lose money." ”

"Why? Why am I not suitable for gambling?" asked Ah Yan in surprise.

"Haha, why do you say that women can have children but men can't? Although this question is a bit mean, it can explain the problem of 'life', life exists objectively, and you are born with such a 'life' that can never be changed?" Zhou Gong said to Ah Yu with a smile.

"So my eldest brother is the 'life' of gambling?"

Zhou Gong nodded and said to a few people: "It will take at least three days to clarify this issue, so now I can only briefly explain it to you." If Wu Wei can successfully complete the third level of training, what I will teach him later is to predict everything through the Book of Changes. The real function of the I Ching is the prediction invented by the ancients, although it was once said to be superstition by the ignorant. The Book of Changes is a precious treasure left to us by our ancestors, and a variety of prediction techniques have been derived from the Book of Changes, the most accurate of which is the prediction of the eight characters of birth and the six trigrams, as well as the impact of geographical feng shui on human life. ”

"Master, can you really predict a person's future from the eight characters of birth?" asked Wuwei curiously.

"Using the right method to predict people's eight characters can be said to be 100% accurate, and this method is easy to learn, with your intelligence, you can master all the essentials in three months. Zhou Gong said with certainty.

"Really, then I also want to learn prediction with Brother Wuwei, and Uncle Zhou will also teach me." Yang Yan didn't speak for a long time, and when she heard this, she couldn't help but grab Zhou Gong's hand and begged.

"Haha...... Girl, this is not something that everyone can learn, and it also depends on your talent, in our words, it also depends on whether your life is suitable for learning prediction. Speaking of which, I will start with the 'life' of man. We have a saying in China that 'man's destiny is fixed in heaven', and some people say that this is fateism, but this sentence is very correct in a sense, such as Yanyan and Wuwei. When Zhou Gong said this, he pointed at Yang Yan and Wuwei and said.

"One of you is a boy and the other is a girl, and this has been determined since you were born, and it is an unchangeable reality, which is 'fate', which means that everyone has already decided a lot of things in life at the moment of your birth. You may say that everything is changing, but it is true, and we often refer to the word 'destiny' in a person's life. Destiny has two meanings, it is composed of fate and fortune, 'fate' is fixed and unchanging, and 'fortune' is the development process of fate. When people often talk about grasping destiny, they actually mean grasping the process of development and movement of life. For example, several of us, we are all descendants of Yan and Huang, this is our life, and it cannot be changed at any time or anywhere. But we can change our fortunes, we can be in China, we can come to the United States. A philosopher said, 'Existence is real, and choice is free,' and that's what he said. Do you all understand this?" Zhou Gong said this, looking around at them.

Zhou Gong used a simple metaphor to explain very profound things very clearly, and they all nodded without doing anything, indicating that they understood what Zhou Gong said.

Zhou Gong saw that they could all understand and continued: "The development of everything has its fixed law, and all living forms start from the beginning of 'birth' and end at the end of 'death'. In this process of motion can be seen as a curve, as you have all learned, a line is made up of an infinite number of points. Prediction is to analyze the state of existence of certain points on this line according to the inherent laws. Reasoning about any point on the line can obtain all the information of this line, and regard the year, month, day, and hour of a person's birth as the starting point in the trajectory of a person's life, so as to logically calculate it, and then obtain the accurate life information of the person, because this point always contains all the information of the living body. Our ancestors were very clever, using the five attributes of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth to represent the composition of all things, and the philosophical idea of showing the never-ending growth and decline of yin and yang, and inferring the laws of motion of things according to precise mathematical calculus, and finally deriving the state of existence at each point, so it is very accurate to predict with this method. ”

The four of them were fascinated by what they heard, and they couldn't imagine that Zhou Gong would explain the complicated predictions so thoroughly. In the past, prediction seemed to them to be a very mysterious thing, but now the mysterious cloak wrapped around the prediction technique was easily dissected by Zhou Gong, allowing them to recognize what was inside.

"It is precisely because the information contained in each point is different, that it is determined that everyone's life is not the same, or that everyone has completely different talents, and talents are given by God as the name suggests, and some people are suitable for doing this kind of work, and some people are suitable for doing that kind of work. There is a famous writer in China who scored zero in mathematics when he was admitted to university, he is a very smart person, but he is not suitable for studying mathematics. In fact, this information is contained in his birth date, and he can be deduced in the right way, so I said that Ah Yan is not suitable for gambling, and Yan Yan is not suitable for learning prediction, do you understand?"

The four of them couldn't stop nodding, in their eyes, Zhou Gong was simply an omniscient person, and they all said convincingly: "Understood." ”

"In the past, I often encountered fortune-telling stalls on the side of the road, and the fortune-telling was boasted by them, but now I feel enlightened when I listen to the master. ”

"That's right, most fortune tellers only know a little about the I Ching, so they deliberately talk about it to bluff people, and some people rely on these things to mix rice, afraid that people will understand and take their jobs, we Chinese also have such a bad habit of complicating simple things." Calculate a person's fate with eight characters, relying on a set of sophisticated calculation procedures, it is no different from the mathematical formulas you have learned, of course, some people can use it to solve difficult problems after learning the formula, and some people cannot, this is related to everyone's understanding and talent, and must not be forced. ”

"Master, I want to ask a question," Wuwei said suddenly after thinking about it.

"Okay, please. "Zhou Gong likes to use his brain, thinking more and asking more is the only way to improve himself.

"When I was young, my grandfather also asked an old gentleman to test my eight characters, which is similar to what you said, although it was not clearly stated that I was suitable for gambling, but the meaning was the same. One thing I don't understand, since I'm good at gambling, why do I win sometimes, and sometimes I lose badly?"

"This question is a good question, if you want to win in betting, you must have two conditions, one is indispensable, the first is a special combination of eight characters, that is, I said life, in other words, suitable for gambling. The second is the grasp of the betting time, that is, when you should enter the casino to place bets, which also has a lot to do with your wins and losses. ”

"Does winning or losing have anything to do with gambling time?" asked Wuwei curiously.

"Not only that, but it also plays a decisive role. Let's do an experiment. Zhou Gong said this, picked up the white paper from the coffee table, stared at the eight characters on it for more than ten minutes, and then put down the paper again, and said to Ah Yu: "You bring 10,000 yuan tomorrow afternoon, you can go to any casino, start betting at three o'clock, it must end before five o'clock, you can win about 20,000 yuan." ”

"Really, what kind of gambling game am I playing?" asked Ah Yu excitedly.

"You can play anything, you just bet and don't think about anything. You can experiment with the fact that you enter the casino an hour early, and you lose money before three o'clock, and you start winning after three o'clock, and if you don't stop before five o'clock, you will start losing after five o'clock. Zhou Gong said to Ah Yu with great certainty.

"Great, I'll definitely go tomorrow afternoon, so if I bring some more money to gamble?" asked Ah Yan greedily.

"If you bring 10,000 and 50,000 are the same, no matter how much you bring, you won't win more than 25,000 yuan in the end. Zhou Gong said with a smile.

"Then I'll take 10,000 with me. After Ah Yu finished speaking, he turned back to Wuwei and said, "Big brother, lend me 10,000 yuan tomorrow." ”

Wuwei smiled and said, "No problem, the three of us will accompany you tomorrow, and we will see if what the master says is accurate." ”
