Three hundred and sixty lines, and he will be the number one scholar.
And I am a con man.
The most mysterious of the Lower Eight Gates is the Thousand Gates.
According to ancient legend, Nuwa repaired the sky after creating human beings. Fuxi lived in the world to observe the suffering of the people, and established a pious gate, hoping to use her thoughts to forge the faith of all people. But he ignored human nature.
The three skills of Qianmen were originally intended to save people from suffering, but they were turned into a means of intrigue. The pious gates became a thousand gates.
The first time I went out was in the classroom in the summer when I was sixteen. A fifty-cent coin determines whether dignity requires kneeling under the desk. I guessed correctly and the coin is mine. I didn't know it at the time, but it would be the only fair win in my life.
The fingertips brushed the edge of the playing cards, the dice obeyed, the cards turned over, and the opponent lost the last copper without even realizing it.
Fate showed kindness to me and sent me just the right "opportunities": when a family member was ill, I just won medicine money on the table; when disaster struck, I just caught my opponent in the game; when I was desperate, there was always an unexpected card that could turn me around.
I thought life was like a gambling table. As long as your skills are clever enough and your heart is pious enough, you can steal everything you want. .
Until that rainy night...
I sat at the poker table, and the chips were everything I had stolen, as well as the future that had been mortgaged before I had time to steal it.
Just before I turned over the last card, I saw the shadow opposite me smiling. That smile was very familiar to me. It was the boy in the classroom when I was sixteen.
It turns out that fate is the ultimate trickster.
People's hearts are in the game, and there are thousands of pious gates.
And the thousand skills that I have practiced hard for many years, in the face of fate, are just a card that has been marked long ago, waiting for me to steal. The better I perform the thousands of skills, the more complete my defeat will be.
