In front of me, there are 1024 doors for me to choose, but I only have a probability of 1 in 1024 to survive, so I have to seize this opportunity of 1 in 1024 to survive in desperation…
Early in the autumn morning, the sun got up early to work. The chicken in the yard cried, and it saw the old man who had passed the sixtieth birthday through the window, and it seemed very excited.
“It took me ten years to train you, and you will be out of the mountains tomorrow. Today I will give you the last class, the gate of life and death.” The old man looked at the birds flying by the window with his back hands behind his back. Chu Lingxiao with fritters.
This old man’s cooking skills are superb, Chu Lingxiao ate his mouth full with every meal.
“The gate of life and death, what is the gate of life and death?”
The old man turned around and sat down opposite Chu Lingxiao, “Assuming there are 1024 people, and there are 1024 doors in front of them, among these 1024 doors, there are 512 life doors and 512 dead doors. Only Only those who pass through can survive. Those who survive can continue to move forward. Behind the 512 doors, there are 256 life doors and 256 dead doors. Similarly, after 256 life doors, there are still 128 There are life gates and 128 dead gates. In short, in the end, only one person of 1024 people can survive. The person who came out last will tell you that if you want to survive, you only need to walk through ten doors, and the dead people simply There is no chance to tell you the existence of the gate of death. This is the gate of life and death. The same truth, in real life, there are always ups and downs, the winner will tell you that there will be results if you keep working hard. As everyone knows, in this metaphor, he I have been passing through the students.”
The old man looked at Chu Lingxiao as if he did not understand, and said with a smile: “My child, you are still young, and you can understand if you don’t understand. What I said to you today must be remembered, and it will be useful in the future. The reason I want to teach you this is because it will be a compulsory course on your long journey in life. By the way, boy, are you in your twenties?”
“Twenty-two.”
“Ten years, your kung fu is very good. I don’t know if your life and death door is open…”
Chu Lingxiao’s heart is actually very difficult to understand, but as a boy who has always listened to Master’s words, he still remembers these words in his heart.
”Master, is there anything else you want to warn me?”
The old man sighed deeply, “In our profession, there is a saying that the first-class Buddha is second-rate, the third-rate emperor and the fourth-rate official. Five streamers, six streamers, seven monks and eight masters. Although this saying It’s not comprehensive, but our profession will always be the last of the three teachings and nine tiers. We can only do it sneakily, and it is impossible to take it to the lobby. Well, after dinner, I will take you to meet someone. This person Good bet, your current strength is not bad, go find him to play.”
At nine o’clock in the morning, the two arrived in the village next door. Many of the houses here are dilapidated, but the scenery is good, with the mountain and the water on one side, giving people a sense of refreshment.
Two people came to a yard in the middle of the village, the yard door was open, and the old man walked straight in.
There was a crisp and powerful knock on the door.
“Here.” The sound of footsteps was accompanied by the sound of crutches hitting the ground.
The door opened, and an ugly old man walked out inside, “Oh, here you are, come in and sit down.”
The old man seemed to be very familiar with the master, and he walked into the room. Chu Lingxiao carefully observed the structure of this house. There were three rooms, but it seemed that only the old man lived alone. The old man sat at the table, took out a mat and put it on the table, took out a brand new set of playing cards from his pocket, and threw it on the table after unpacking.
Master pointed at Chu Lingxiao, “This kid also likes to play, what shall we play today?”
The old man thought for a while, “Let’s do this, I lose, this cane is for you, if you lose, buy me a new cane.”
Master was taken aback and nodded, “Okay, then it’s settled, what are you going to do?”
”Then, draw the cards to compare the big and small, play what you are good at, I see how you beat me today.”
Master just smiled, “This time, I won’t play with you anymore. This kid likes to play cards. I won’t play cards today. He will play for me. You can play with him.” Sitting in a chair on the side.
“Let’s play with me. Come, young man, come and sit down.” The old man motioned to Chu Lingxiao to approach the table.
Chu Lingxiao slowly moved his steps, sat opposite the old man, watching the old man shuffle the cards, Chu Lingxiao looked at the hands of the old man with his excellent card skills, he knew this The action is called “JudoFlip”.
Chu Lingxiao thought, you can cut cards a lot, but you may not be able to play with me when you play cards. I have studied with Master for ten years…
The old man suddenly spread out the cards, “I’m welcome.” In an instant, the old man drew a card from the spread.
Based on Chu Lingxiao’s experience, he knew that the old man’s hand was the jack of spades, so he only needed to find a card larger than the jack to win.
Chu Lingxiao has quick eyes and quick hands. When the old man shuffled the cards just now, he clearly saw that the last card was the Heart Q.
It goes without saying that Chu Lingxiao won.
The old man just smiled, “Come on.”
At the beginning of the second game, Chu Lingxiao started to win and lose. He didn’t know what was going on, and what he learned was not very useful.
The last hand, Chu Lingxiao knew that the old man had drawn an 8 and he had drawn an old king. Chu Lingxiao thought that he must have won, so he threw the cards on the table, “There are 99 cards in total, I have won 49. In the last round, I will win, you must lose.”
The old man smiled slightly, shook his hand, and directly threw out an A, “My child, you are still young.”
Chu Lingxiao was surprised, the card in the old man’s hand just now was obviously not this one.
“I…” Chu Lingxiao wanted to say something, but was stopped by the master.
the two went to the street and bought the old man a brand new walking stick.
”Master, how could I lose?”
Master sighed, “You have to know, even if you know that other people give a thousand, don’t say anything. Because you will also be suspected.”
“I see.”
”Also, the old man just now, he is your uncle. Fifteen years ago, he was caught in an underground casino and almost killed him. Later, I don’t know who leaked the news. , The police made a surprise attack there, and he was spared, but unfortunately, he still scrapped a leg. What I want to tell you is, there are people outside the world, there are days outside the world, don’t look down on anyone. Also, no matter when, Be careful.”
“Good master, I see.”
On the way back, the two did not speak. By the side of the country road, the sound of frogs showed the silence of this moment.
After returning home, the master told Chu Lingxiao to sit opposite him.
”I still have the last few words, which must be remembered. First, you can’t touch women after you go out. Second ~IndoMTL.com~ can’t touch alcohol. Third, don’t do some publicity. Fourth, don’t eat or drink. Fifth, do more good deeds. Sixth, read some books that are easy to learn. Okay, that’s all. By the way, these few days each year, remember to come back and see Master.”
“I remember, Master. By the way, Master, I have one more question. You and my uncle are so good, my master must be even better?”
Master’s smiling face suddenly solidified into a brick, “Is this what you should ask? You have been with me for ten years. Do you know what my name is? Do you know who I am? Know this? Where is it?”
“I remember, don’t ask if you shouldn’t ask, don’t say what shouldn’t be said.”
“Pack your bags and go out tomorrow!”
Although it is an autumn night, Chu Lingxiao lying on the bed still feels that the cold wind is biting. Maybe it is a psychological effect.
Master told myself that I should read more books related to easy learning. Why?
The big rooster outside the window crowed again. Chu Lingxiao was a bit sleepless. The rooster crowed more energetic. Chu Lingxiao knew that it was telling humans that it was about to rain.
As expected, the patter of rain followed one after another with the master’s snoring in the outside room. Winter is about to enter. It is already very cold. Master has already prepared this quilt for Chu Lingxiao. Chu Lingxiao couldn’t sleep in this room, so he got up and sat and looked out the window. The opposite person was hanging a lantern. He could see every raindrop with the light of the lantern.
Chu Lingxiao opened the window, allowing the raindrops outside the window to be blown in by the wind and hit her face.
Master’s snoring is getting louder and louder, basically the feeling of thunder.
Slowly, the rain stopped and Chu Lingxiao was also very sleepy, so he lay down and slowly fell asleep…
