Chapter 48: Which came first, the chicken or the egg?
Yun Ye hated it when there was someone behind him when playing cards, and this person was looking at the cards. The most egregious thing was that he kept nagging about what kind of bad cards you drew.
Changsun was very excited today, and indeed she was. Apart from not knowing what the relationship between this old man and her was, Li Er and Changsun Wuji were the closest people to her. As for Yun Ye, Changsun was even more indifferent.
He raised his hand to type out a whiteboard, but was caught back by Changsun. She threw out three or eight of them. Yun Ye was just about to tremble in anger when Changsun slapped him on the back of his head.
I am already thirty years old, why do I still act like a child?
When the eight guns were lit, the old guy failed. He laughed wildly and asked for money, and shamelessly said to his eldest grandson: "I made a fortune for myself when I went out today. It will bring good luck and good fortune, hahaha..."
"This boy is about to travel far. When you feel better, you can check with him to see what's going on. Beiting is too far away." Changsun smiled like a hen and took advantage of the situation to make a small request.
"The conquest of the army is about power, power, and planning. If we rely on divination, the student, the general of the Beiting Protectorate, would not have to do this. He would just sit in the military tent and tinker with turtle shells." Yun Ye was very unhappy.
Convinced.
"You are absolutely right. This is the attitude of a living person. It is better to believe in fate than to have no fate. A general who does not believe in fate is trapped in a desperate situation and still knows that he may survive if he works hard to survive. But those who believe in fate are dead."
The old guy used his two skinny hands to stack the cards, and his fingers were very flexible. He could talk while talking without affecting his efficiency. Li Er didn't say a word today, and Changsun Wuji was also busy playing cards. It seemed that the two of them were playing cards today.
"The boy has never believed in fate. Even if it has become a reality, the boy will step on it with doubts. The empress is kind-hearted and understands this. This general, the student, is contaminated with countless evil spirits. Even if there is any bad luck·Student
I will also pinch her neck to make him use me. Even if the old gentleman is the reincarnation of a god, he knows five hundred years before and five hundred years later. The student is not willing to know his fate right away. I would rather be hacked to death by the enemy.
I regretted it at that moment, and I didn’t want to know it in advance. Wu Bing, sir, your hairpin is very beautiful, I want to win it."
After Yun Ye finished speaking, he threw out a piece of five cakes and looked at the hairpin on the old man's head. He really wanted it.
Li Er chuckled and picked up the five cakes that he had pushed down. Changsun Wuji glanced at Yun Ye and started counting the cards again. The old man smiled bitterly and pushed down the cards and said: "Boy, you did this on purpose. Prepare to use this card."
It’s hurtful, the poker game has just begun, and you want to eliminate me from the game?”
"Your surname is Yuan, and you are proficient in the art of yin and yang. You must be related to Yuan Tiangang, Taoist Master Yuan. Maybe you are also his elder. I haven't been in the world for 14 years, and I have big doubts. Only after I win over the old gentleman can I
Let you know everything, so whatever means you use are reasonable."
I have too much experience in dealing with the old guy Yun Ye, especially this kind of old guy who has become a man. If you want something, just say it openly, and then use all the means at your disposal to fight for it. Only in this way can the old guy get it.
Stop playing games and take it seriously. When you win, the old guy will also take your request seriously. Things given by others are not reliable. Only things you get by your own ability truly belong to you.
Li Er laughed and seemed very pleased. He patted Yun Ye on the shoulder and picked up the dice to start the game again. Changsun also obediently sat next to Li Er and stopped wandering around.
The card table became much quieter, and the old guy also put away his playful thoughts and began to take the gamble seriously. Changsun Wuji suddenly said: "Old Yuan, if Yun Ye wins, you will clear up the confusion. If the boy wins, can you please criticize me?"
Life?"
Yuan Shoucheng chuckled and said: "The old man has become a broken drum. Now everyone wants to beat him. Well, boy, if you want to find me a job, then you have to show your true skills and try to see if you can make me retreat."
The old guy was very scary when he was serious. It seemed that he was really lucky as he said. After three hands of cards, he had already won a lot of gold coins, and his smile became more and more arrogant.
Changsun Wuji glanced at Yun Ye and started to play his cards. He was going to join forces with Yun Ye to deal with Yuan Shoucheng. Only Li Er still played his cards unhurriedly, neither taking sides nor relying on them.
The old man was still winning. Yun Ye knew clearly that he was cheating, but the old man's tricks were too fast and Yun Ye couldn't catch him. Seeing that the old man's gold was about to exceed two boxes, Yun Ye thought it was time to take action.
.
The dice on the card table are still the same ones used by Li Yuan last time. In order for Li Yuan to catch good cards, Old Lady Dugu used lead-filled dice to cheat. It seems that they have not been replaced yet.
When the old guy held the dice in his hand and was about to throw it out, Yun Ye held the old guy's hand and said, "Wait a minute!" Everyone at the card table was stunned at the same time, not knowing what was happening.
Yun Ye asked the palace servants to find him a small hammer and a backing board. Under the confused gazes of the other four people, Yun Ye used the hammer to knock open the dice that the old guy had just held in his hand. Among the three dices
Three small lead lumps fell out. Changsun Wuji picked up one, put it in front of his eyes, looked at it, and said to Li Er: "Yes!"
Yuan Shoucheng was stunned for a moment, then suddenly started to laugh and pointed at Yun Ye and said breathlessly: "This is a good trap. No matter what, the dice are in my hands. It's hard to tell."
Since you have been caught alive, tell me what the regulations are, I will admit my defeat and let you do whatever you want."
Changsun laughed with tears streaming down his face and leaned on Li Er's shoulder to regain his breath. Li Er twisted his eyebrows and looked at Yun Ye with a righteous look on his face. Changsun Wuji raised his thumb to the top, beaming with joy.
I am an old man, how can I not understand that there is no need to adulterate the gambling equipment in such a gambling game. Among the five people present, only Yun Ye is the old man in this gambling game, and the other four are newcomers. It is very possible that these
It was Li Yuan who changed the dice. Yun Ye and the others all knew it, but they didn't say it. Emperor Bo was just happy. It's different now. Whether it's for the venerable or the elder, this big green-headed fly Yuan Shoucheng is sure to eat it.
.
Yun Ye coughed and ordered the palace attendants to bring over a bet written on Lingzi from the shelf over there. He pointed to the third article and said to Yuan Shoucheng: "According to the regulations, you lost all your money. You could only wear underwear."
Go out, but you are an old man and it is too cold. I am afraid that the Emperor would not do this even when he was alive, so how about you just owe everyone here a promise?"
"There really is such a thing." Yuan Shoucheng grabbed the bet and looked at it carefully before showing it to Li Er.
"It's natural. The Supreme Emperor has said before that there are no rules without rules, so this bet was made five years ago. This is not just a random talk." Yun Ye said to Yuan Shoucheng seriously.
Changsun was about to die laughing. Li Er took out an arm to support his wife, with a look of helplessness on his face. Changsun Wuji quickly read the bet agreement, and immediately closed it with satisfaction and ordered the palace servants to put it back in place. He wanted it very much.
A promise from the old man.
"I've been hunting geese all day long, but I didn't expect that today I was pecked out by geese and my eyes were blinded. Well, boy, your trick has succeeded. I would like to know what the big doubt is in your mind?"
Yun Ye cupped his hands and said solemnly: "This question has been bothering me for decades. I am puzzled and have no choice but to ask a wise man. What I want to ask is: Which came first, the chicken or the egg?"
When Li Er heard Yun Ye's question, he thought he was teasing Yuan Shoucheng, which was inappropriate. He was about to scold Yun Ye, but saw the sadness on Yun Ye's face, which completely lost the tiredness of the past, so he shut up.
Wait for Yuan Shoucheng to give Yun Ye the answer.
Yuan Shoucheng felt Yun Ye's sincerity. He would never think that Yun Ye was talking nonsense, so he closed his eyes and meditated. The hall suddenly became quiet. The eldest grandson looked at Li Er, then at Yun Ye, and then at
Looking at his brother, he found that the expressions of these three people were very strange, but Yuan Shoucheng fell into deep thought for a long time.
For Yun Ye, this question is no longer as simple as asking and answering it when playing in childhood. For Datang, the chicken, it is an egg. Now that the chicken and the egg are parallel in time and space at the same time, will it be possible?
Is there any bad influence? Is your influence on Datang good or bad?
A butterfly in the Caribbean flaps its wings and there will be a storm elsewhere. This is the essence of chaos theory. He only knows this sentence but does not understand what chaos theory is. From the moment he stepped into the Tang Dynasty, he was in
He tried hard to close his wings and prevent them from blowing out too big a storm. He was worried that doing so would incur punishment from the laws of history and space, so he was like an instigator to instigate everyone around him.
, only things that are researched and manufactured by these native Tang people will truly belong to the Tang people themselves.
History has become riddled with holes. Through unconscious self-development, the Tang Dynasty became unparalleled, powerful and invincible. This feeling has been deeply ingrained into the bones of the people of the Tang Dynasty.
Li Er has always admired imperfection and had to knock a hole in the bowl to eat. Now his Tang Dynasty is approaching perfection infinitely. Will he be punished?
Last year's heavy snowfall, which has never been recorded in history, and this year's extreme cold, Yun Ye almost believed that these things were brought to Datang by himself. He was worried that his vanity would destroy this beautiful country.
Yuan Shoucheng opened his eyes and looked at Yun Ye and said, "This question involves the relationship between time and life. I can't answer you."
Yun Ye knew the answer would be like this. He thanked Yuan Shoucheng bleakly, and then asked Li Er and the Queen to resign. The afternoon sun was very strong. When the palace people opened the door of the hall, the sunlight immediately filled the hall.
Yun Ye walked out in the sunshine, and Yuan Shoucheng said loudly from behind: "Boy, how can there be so many answers in this world? Many times it is dark in front of you and you can't see anything!"
Yun Ye turned around and thanked Yuan Shoucheng again, then walked straight into the world of sunshine. He wanted to get more sunshine, but his brain had been a little damp recently.
