"You don't need to be confused about this."
Senior Feng Zhu poured another cup of wine for Gu Qingfeng.
The wine bottle looked exquisite, but it was very small. According to the capacity of the bottle, it could only fill four or five cups. However, thirty or forty cups had already been filled and the bottle was still not empty.
Gu Qingfeng thought that there must be something special about this thing. However, he was not in the mood to appreciate it. He only wanted to know what Feng Zhu was up to. He asked, "Why?"
"The reason is very simple. I want to take a gamble."
Hearing this, Gu Qingfeng was surprised. He asked, "A gamble?"
"That's right. A gamble."
"A gamble on what?"
"We're betting on whether that ominous item will have a good or bad effect on the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth in Little Friend Qingfeng's hands."
"Since it is an ominous item, it will naturally have a bad influence. How can it become a good influence?"
"No matter how ominous an ominous item is, it is still dead. However, people are alive."
"I don't object to your words, but don't forget that even if the ominous item in my hands will have a good influence on the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, it may also have a bad influence."
Feng Zhu stroked his white beard and said, "That's why I decided to take a gamble."
"You know the result will be terrible. Why do you still insist on taking the gamble?" Gu Qingfeng asked curiously, "Aren't you afraid of losing the gamble?"
"Of course I am."
"Then why do you still take the gamble?"
"It is precisely because I am afraid of losing that I should take the gamble."
Gu Qingfeng didn't understand and asked, "What kind of logic is this?"
"Little friend Qing Feng, you're the most unpredictable one. The ominous item will have two extreme results in your hands. If it has a good effect on the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, it will be the best effect. If it has a bad effect on the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, it will also be the worst."
"If that's the case, why do you still want to take the gamble?" Gu Qingfeng shook his head speechlessly. "You have survived from the Primordial Era to the present. Don't tell me you only want to take a gamble? If I were you, I wouldn't pin my hopes on others. Even if I had no choice but to gamble, I would find a reliable person and think of a safe way to gamble. Even if I lose in the end, I wouldn't lose too badly. "
"Haha."
Senior Feng Zhu smiled faintly and suddenly asked a completely unrelated question: "Little Friend Qingfeng, do you like to gamble?"
"Not bad." Gu Qingfeng shrugged and replied, "I can't say whether I like it or not. When I'm interested, I occasionally play a few rounds."
"Has Little Friend Qingfeng ever lost?"
"Rarely." Gu Qingfeng smiled and said, "When gambling with others, I usually won't lose. But … when gambling with fate, I have never won."
"Haha."
Inexplicably, Senior Feng Zhu smiled. His smile was somewhat strange.
"Senior, what are you laughing at? What's so funny? "
"Gambling with fate is like gambling with yourself. You will never win, and you will never lose …"
"Why?"
Senior Feng Zhu smiled but did not answer the question.
Gu Qingfeng murmured. He seemed to have understood something and felt that it made sense.
"Little friend Qing Feng, can this old man ask you another question?"
"Of course."
"If you had gambled once and lost terribly, to the point that you were left with only one family heirloom, nothing else, and there was no way out. You only had one chance to gamble, and you had to bet your family heirloom. At that time, how would you gamble? Would you seek victory steadily, or would you go all out? Winning or losing is unknown. As you said just now, even if I win, it's only a small victory. If I lose, I won't lose too badly. But if I go all out and win, I'll win back all that I've lost. If I lose, I'll lose everything I have! "
"This …"
Gu Qingfeng pondered for a while. After a long time, he replied, "There is a saying that one's character determines one's fate. With my character, I think that if I really reach that stage, I will definitely choose to go all out. If I win, I will win completely. If I lose, I will lose completely. If I win, I will at most quench my thirst. It is better to lose everything."
"Since that is the case, Qing Feng, you should understand what I mean, right?"
Yes.
Gu Qingfeng understood.
When Senior Feng Zhu asked him about it, he already understood.
Senior Feng Zhu had said that he'd lost once in the past, and he'd lost extremely miserably. In Gu Qingfeng's opinion, it was probably the calamity of the Primordial Era, and Senior Feng Zhu had lost everything. Only a wisp of his consciousness and that ominous treasure remained. At this point in time, he didn't intend to seek victory steadily, and he intended to go all out. If he won, then he'd win completely; if he lost, then he'd lose completely.
However.
In this world, understanding and understanding were different things. Sometimes, one just did not want to do it.
Gu Qingfeng sighed. "Old Senior, your words make me feel very pressured. It feels as if you're betting your family heirloom on me."
"No! You are wrong. "
"What do you mean?"
"It's not that this old man placed the ominous item on Little Friend Qing Feng. It's that the ominous item chose Little Friend Qing Feng. This old man has no control over its choice."
"Although you cannot influence the family heirloom's choice, you can decide whether I stay or leave."
"Qing Feng, do you mean that you want I to trap you in the Space-time Illusory Realm?" Senior Feng Zhu smiled faintly and said, "Not to mention that I don't want to trap you here, even if I wanted to, I might not be able to trap you here."
"If I could get out, I would have done so long ago. I would not have to go back and forth for so long."
"You can't get out now, but it does not mean you can't get out in the future. I believe that the Space-time Illusory Realm can trap you for a while, but it cannot trap you forever."
"I have no confidence in myself, but you have a lot of confidence in me."
"Now that things have come to this, I can only try my best to think positively. Am I right?"
"Hahahaha!" Gu Qingfeng laughed, "That is true."
The two of them chatted while drinking wine. Gu Qingfeng wanted to know what the family heirloom was. However, no matter how he asked, Feng Zhu did not say a word. He only said that once the family heirloom was born, it would affect the Dao of Heaven and Earth, all living things, and even the beginning of the Daoless Era.
Gu Qingfeng thought about it. No matter how he thought about it, he felt that the family heirloom was most likely related to the Original Sin.
Based on what he knew, only the Original Sin affected the Dao of Heaven and Earth, all living things, and also the beginning of the Daoless Era.
However, if the family heirloom was related to the Original Sin, then what kind of existence was it? What did it have to do with the Original Sin?
