Chapter 176: The Theory of Fate
However, Gou Shun still didn't believe it, and still had a look of suspicion.
Seeing this, the old beggar sighed and said, "What? Isn't it like? ”
"No, I've seen a lot of things laid out by other fortune tellers, but you don't have anything here?" Gou Shun voiced his doubts.
"There used to be, but a year ago, the city manager said that I was a feudal superstition and affected the city's appearance, so he confiscated my belongings, and he hasn't returned them to me until now, but it doesn't matter, many things are here." The old beggar said, pointing his finger at his head.
But when Gou Shun saw the shabby appearance of the old beggar, he still couldn't believe that he could calculate so accurately, maybe Doubao'er really ran into a dead mouse that time, or the fortune teller was not him at all.
It seems that he ran for nothing, thinking of this, Gou Shun stood up and prepared to leave.
Seeing this, the old beggar hurriedly said: "Young man, I see that you have the air of a tyrant in your face, and you will definitely hug you in the future, and your subordinates will be in groups, no matter where you go, there will be special guards to follow." ”
Hearing this, Gou Shun felt very familiar, exactly the same as Doubao'er.
Gou Shun can basically conclude that he is a charlatan, and he has the same rhetoric for many people, so that those who are deceived will feel very accurate, and those who are wronged will not be taken seriously, and they will laugh at it.
Thinking of this, Gou Shun took a step.
"Young man, don't change your life against the sky, you can't fight fate." Suddenly, the old beggar said behind his back.
Hearing this, Gou Shun was suddenly shocked, only to see him quickly turn around, walk back to the old beggar, squat down, look at the old beggar and say, "What did you mean by what you just said?" ”
I saw the old beggar smile and say, "Young man, don't you believe me? Do you think that if I know how to tell fortunes, why am I still so shabby? Let me tell you the truth, people can't look good, those who really know fortune telling are shabby, just like the truth that doctors don't heal themselves, fortune tellers can't tell their fortunes, otherwise they will die. As for why fortune tellers are shabby, it is because the more accurate the calculation, the more heavenly secrets will be leaked, and the more severe the natural punishment will be. ”
After listening to it, Gou Shun couldn't conclude for a while whether what he said made sense or not, so he hurriedly asked: "Uncle, have you ever counted with a person named Doubaoer?" ”
"I'm counting too many people, how can I remember names? Tell me what the man looks like, and I'll see if I can remember. ”
"The man was not very tall, with a round head, a slightly pointed mouth, and small eyes, and you said the same thing to him."
The old beggar scratched his white hair, thought for a moment and said, "Well, there seems to be such a person, who looks very happy with his eyebrows and rat eyes, and he thought I was telling a joke, but you are different from his, he is followed when he eats and bathes, and when you eat and bathe, no one follows." ”
The old beggar said, stretched out his right hand, closed his eyes slightly, pinched his fingers and counted for about a minute, then opened his eyes, and said with a smile: "Well, if my guess is correct, that person's hexagram has been fulfilled." ”
As soon as these words came out, he was immediately shocked by Gou Shun, and after the doubts in his heart were swept away in an instant, he saw him look at the old beggar and said, "Uncle, what do you mean by what you just said to me?" What does it mean to not be able to fight fate? ”
I saw the old beggar look at Gou Shun seriously for a few seconds, then sighed and said: "Young man, fate is predestined by heaven, there is already a certain number in the underworld, and the power of human beings is incomparably small, do you think people can defeat God?" ”
After hearing this, Gou Shun was obviously even more confused, so he asked: "Since people's fate has long been predestined, why do people still have to do things?" Still going to work hard to struggle? ”
I saw the old beggar smile and said, "Young man, this is like a coin that is quickly flipped and then suddenly grasped, and you don't know it before you open your palm, although its front and back have been determined. Fate is actually like this, although it has long been doomed, but everyone doesn't know, some people choose to struggle, but some people also choose to fall, haven't you seen a lifetime of struggle, but still can't die well? In fact, everything people do is just in line with their own destiny. ”
Gou Shun seemed to understand these words, so he asked again: "Uncle, do you mean that fate cannot be changed?" ”
The old beggar shook his head and said, "Ordinary people don't know what will happen in the future, so why change it?" For example, if you get up every day to drink a glass of water, you want to change it, but you don't drink it the next day, you think it's changed, but it's actually fate that you don't drink that day, so you want to change your fate, unless you can predict the future, but such people need a certain fit, and there are very few in society, but they won't change their fate. ”
Seeing that Gou Shun was still confused, the old beggar continued: "For example, a fortune teller, of course, is not a charlatan, but a person who can really calculate the future, just like me, he doesn't dare to change the fate of others, and can only give a suggestion within a certain limit." ”
Gou Shun listened, shook his head, and said, "But why is that? ”
The old beggar sighed and said faintly: "Because everything in this world does not exist alone, there are some inextricable links between them, and this connection is densely intertwined, like a bunch of interlocking gears. ”
After listening to it, Gou Shun seemed to understand a little, only to see him ask again: "Uncle, that is to say, fate can be changed, right?" ”
I saw the old beggar sigh and said, "Young man, even if you can change it, you can't change it, it's the rule." ”
"Why?" Gou Shun was puzzled again.
"Because although there are many seemingly unreasonable things in this world, all things in time exist together in the most reasonable way, just like a huge machine, it is composed of countless parts, but not every part of the machine plays a key role, but without this part, the machine will be paralyzed. What we call fate does not refer narrowly to the fate of a person, but the fate of all things in the world combined, this big machine of fate moves forward under the impetus of time, if there is a problem in any link, this big machine will have problems, and many parts will be lost. ”
"Can't it be better?"
"No, I said it, although it is a little unfair, but the overall combination is indeed the most reasonable, which is predestined in the dark."
"What if you have to change?"
"Then the most implicated is this part and those parts that are directly related to him, and the consequences are serious, and it may also deviate the entire big machine."
"The whole big machine?" Gou Shun asked incredulously.
I saw the old beggar nod and said, "That's right, it's the whole world." ”
"But don't you fortune tellers often break calamities? Doesn't that change fate? Gou Shun's doubts seem to be getting more and more.
After hearing this, the old beggar shook his head and said: "No, fortune-telling words, sometimes it is just a kind of spiritual comfort, and sometimes, it is just to make the trajectory of some people more suitable for his fate, or some parts, more suitable for that big machine, so the real fortune teller is not the destroyer of fate, but maintains." ”
Speaking of this, the old beggar paused, looked at Gou Shun and said, "However, it seems that this great machine of fate is destined to be destroyed. ”
"Why?" Gou Shun was still puzzled.
I saw the old beggar sigh and say, "Because I see your future." ”
