Chapter 40: A Change of Heart (2)

Robot couldn't help but laugh when he heard Wuwei's words, "Because the United States is a country with no history, it can't talk about national things." Just like the Tao Te Ching you study, it is difficult for foreigners to understand what is inside, and they don't know what to say at all. ”

At this time, the waiter had already brought all kinds of raw ingredients, and the hot pot was also tumbling, Ah Yu stood up and poured the ingredients into the pot, and he used chopsticks to dial the mutton slices on the plate into the hot pot. He said to the two of them while drying: "This hot pot, that is, we Chinese can eat with chopsticks, if it is replaced with a knife and fork, it is really difficult to deal with." ”

Soon the room was filled with the scent, and the three of them took off their coats, rolled up the sleeves of their shirts, and began to feast. In foreign countries, that is, in Chinese restaurants, you can fight bare-armed, and in Western restaurants, you can wear suits and leather shoes, and sit upright to make Wuwei feel very uncomfortable.

"Wu Wei, after studying for so long, how much do you know about the Tao Te Ching?" asked Robot as he ate.

Wuwei put down the chopsticks, took a sip of tea, thought for a while and said to the robot: "The first chapter of the Tao Te Ching answers the question you raised, to be honest, Lao Tzu's 'Dao' embodies the idea of tenderness and harmony, and every time I read it, I will have a deeper understanding, in front of the supreme and noble philosophy of the ancients, I found that I was so small." 'Path, Path, Extraordinary Truth. Name, name, name. Nameless, the beginning of heaven and earth, named, the mother of all things. Therefore, there is often nothing, and I want to look at the micro. Often, I want to see it. ’”

"Damn, big brother, what did you say, I didn't understand a word like a book from heaven. Ah Yu muttered.

Wu Wei ignored Ah Yu and continued: "Lao Tzu means the 'Dao' that can be said in words, and it is not the eternal 'Dao'. The "name" that can be spoken in words is not an eternal "name." Nothing is the beginning of heaven and earth, and existence is the root of all things. Observe the mystery of the Tao from nothing. From there is a clue to know the 'Tao'. These few words alone made me think for two days. ”

"Haha...... Does Lao Tzu mean that this 'Tao' can only be understood, not spoken?" Robot said with a smile, "Just like a person's temperament, you can feel it, but you can't describe it." ”

"In fact, everyone, because of different life experiences and different occupations, has a different understanding of Lao Tzu's 'Tao'. The reason why Zhou Gong asked me to study the "Tao Te Ching" is to let me experience this 'gambling way'. ”

After listening to Wuwei's words, Robot nodded thoughtfully, and said slowly: "It makes sense, as far as we are concerned, we must use Lao Tzu's 'Dao' to study our 'gambling Dao'." So what do you think of this gambling way?"

"I can't explain this problem in three or two sentences, so I have compiled my experience of 'gambling road' in a notebook so that I can take it out and study it at any time. Wu Wei stood up as he spoke, walked to the hanger, and took out a delicate little book that was not the size of a palm from his coat pocket.

After Wuwei sat down again, he opened the small book and flipped a few pages, and then handed it to the robot, "I have annotated all the eighty-one chapters of the Tao Te Ching, of course, these are my own understanding of Lao Tzu's 'Dao', it is inevitable that there is some bias, you take a look at the first chapter first, and give your opinions." ”

Robot took the notebook and found that the thick notebook was almost finished, he looked at the paragraph that Wuwei pointed out to him, and saw that it was written:

Chapter 1: The Way of Gambling

Dao ,--------- gambling road,

Pathological. ------- can say the way of gambling,

Very Dao. ----- is not an eternal way of gambling.

famous ,--------- gambling techniques,

can be named,------- can be used as a gambling technique,

Very famous. ----- will never be a timeless technology.

Nameless,------- no gambling skills,

The beginning of heaven and earth. ---- is the beginning of gambling.

Famous ,-------- have gambling skills,

The mother of all things. ----- is fundamental to adapting to gambling.

Therefore, there is no ,------- and therefore always in a state of absence of greed,

I want to see it. --- to provide insight into the subtleties inherent in betting.

There are always ,--------- often remain in a state of desire,

I want to see it. --- to provide insight into the outward signs of the gambling game.

These two --------- the two mentalities of desire and desirelessness.

The same is called the mystery. ------ can be said to be very subtle and profound,

Mysterious and mysterious. ----- there is mystery in the mystery,

The Gate of Wonder. ----- is a wonderful gateway to success for professional gamblers!

After reading this first chapter, Robot continued to scroll down, and he found that each subsequent chapter of Wu Wei had new annotations, all the way to the final chapter eighty-one. Robot casually turned a few more pages, and it was the eighth chapter of the Tao Te Ching, which was as good as water, and I saw that it was written seriously:

Good is like water. ---------- professional gambler should be of high moral character, like water.

Water is good for all things without fighting,-- water selflessly nourishes all things, without fighting for fame and profit.

The water is in a low-lying area that everyone hates,-----

Therefore, it is more than the Tao. -------- so the quality of water is basically close to the Tao.

Good ,---------- professional gamblers are good at choosing the right position,

The heart is kind,---------- and you must be kind-hearted and kind to others.

Be kind and benevolent,---------- good at following and grasping the trend of things,

Gambling should be carried out according to ,----------the plan

Good governance,--------- the management of gambling funds is also strictly managed like politics.

Good deeds can be good at ,--------- good at developing their potential in gambling,

When to do good. --------- take advantage of the favorable timing in the casino to place your bets.

The husband is not fighting,------- precisely because he does not fight against the trend and is calm,

Therefore, there is no especially. -------- so there is no fault in gambling.

Seeing this, Robot couldn't help but exclaim in amazement: "Wuwei, I really can't imagine that you are so attentive, your understanding is very thorough and unique, I firmly believe that you have passed the second level of Zhou Gong." ”

"My understanding of many passages is inevitably a little biased, and I have marked some sentences, and I will ask Zhou Gong for advice when I see him in the future. Wuwei said humbly.

Robot has already sensed the changes that have taken place in him from the attitude of not speaking, a person's appearance, in fact, is his inner performance, so sometimes knowing a person can know what kind of person he is just by his mannerisms and words.

Ah Yu looked at the two of them like a monster, and said confusedly: "I really don't understand what you're talking about? Just now on the way, Robert said that when the dealer replaces the casino, he can win, and if he plays cards by himself, he won't win, and the eldest brother has linked the Tao Te Ching with gambling, how can you get things that are not related?"

Robot glanced at Ah Yu and said meaningfully, "It's best not to set foot in the casino until you understand this, otherwise you will still be doomed to failure." ”

"Bah, Robert, are you cursing me? Ah Yu spat on the ground and said angrily.

"Robert is for your good, you kid don't know the hearts of good people, and others don't bother to care about you. Okay, you go and buy the order, and we'll go back right away. After Wuwei finished speaking, he stood up, and Ah Yu hurriedly handed over his clothes, and then turned around and went out to pay.

The owner of the restaurant stood outside the restaurant early in the morning and waited for them to come out, greeted them and delivered them to the outside of the restaurant himself.

After getting into the car, the robot suddenly remembered something, he said to Wuwei while driving: "Wuwei, since your second level is almost over, you should devote some energy to studying Texas Hold'em, proficient in the skills, and take time to go to the casino poker room to observe other people's playing style, and then conduct actual combat exercises." ”

"Yes, you're right, but what is the next hurdle for Zhou Gong that I am thinking about the most? I have now taken this World Series of Poker very lightly, and I will do my best to participate, but I don't care about the final result. I'm a newbie, and there are still plenty of opportunities to come. ”

"It's best if you have that mentality, I've seen Texas Hold'em master matchups, the quality of the hand is secondary, and the winner is often the one with the most consistent mentality. ”

"I have a hunch that Zhou Gong will come to Las Vegas soon. After Wuwei finished speaking, he leaned his body on the back of the saddle, did not say a word, and fell into deep thought.
