The Greatest Astrologist - Chapter 48

Many reporters in Yinlong Village wandered around and even interviewed the village elder Li. Everyone wants to explore the opening of the altar to pray for rain, and the bizarre stories in the mountains are always the most attractive.

Reporter: “The village chief, I heard that there was a master calling the wind and calling the rain not long ago. Is this true?”

The village elder Li hurriedly said: “It’s not the village chief but the director, otherwise you can call me old Li…”

“Director Li, did anyone really pray for rain at that time?”

“No, there is absolutely no such thing. As an advanced civilized village, we have always been alert to the rise of feudal superstitions in rural areas, and strive to strengthen the construction of rural spiritual civilization…” The village chief said solemnly, “The children in our village know that, Lushui The green hill is the golden hill and the silver hill, and protecting the ecological environment is protecting the productivity!”

The reporter admired: “It seems that the spiritual civilization of Yinlong Village is doing very well.”

“It all depends on the concerted efforts of the villagers.”

The media asked in Yinlong Village to no avail. The villagers insisted that there was no superstitious behavior, and their tone was completely different from that of the neighboring village.

Kong Shuohua and others are being held accountable by the investigation team. They certainly can’t write the story of the girl in the Taoist robe in the report. Anyone who reads it will feel that Kong Shuohua’s brain is sick.

The people in the village next door mentioned the master’s rumors, but they couldn’t go to Yinlong Village to identify the people. In addition, Chu Qianli and Tan Muxing changed their clothes in the city again, and the two looked like outsiders coming to play. He didn’t look like a native villager at all, and he didn’t arouse suspicion either.

At home, Wang Ping put the steamed fish on the table, and put several dishes on the table in a row. She mixed the steamed bacon rice and served a bowl each for Chu Qianli and Tan Muxing, which was regarded as the official start of the meal.

Tan Muxing took the job with both hands, and said softly: “Thank you.”

Chu Qianli stared at the food for a moment, and said in surprise, “How rich today is it?”

Wang Ping said impatiently: “It’s not that you showed up that day. Everyone knows that you went back to the village. Recently, you went crazy at the door to deliver things and want to ask you to eat at home…”

Tan Muxing looked at Chu Qianli, his face was curious: “Are you famous in the village?”

Talking about Twilight Star and remembering the scene of the heavy rain, Chu Qianli was respected by the villagers, which was completely different from being in the city.

Chu Qianli said leisurely: “Our village is very small.”

Wang Ping pierced coolly: “Famous, of course famous, otherwise how could she be used to this? Have you ever seen offerings in temples, she belongs to those who eat offerings.”

Chu Qianli murmured: “It’s not an act of confession, it’s a transaction, and I’m not a fairy or a ghost. The essence is to do things with money…”

“Okay, anyway, you said anything is fine. The director also gave you an award, saying that he helped report the super picker in the neighboring village, so you can take the time to get it.” Wang Ping frowned slightly, suspiciously. “You still pray for rain? I haven’t seen you before?”

Talking about Mu Xing’s drifting vision, as a witness who witnessed Chu Qianli holding Buddha’s feet temporarily, he naturally knew what the truth was.

Chu Qianli blinked and said calmly, “Of course not.”

Wang Ping was surprised: “Then why do I hear them say you are chanting?”

“Performance art is exaggeration.” Chu Qianli said helplessly, “Pingping, I believe in Marxism, and I don’t have Taoist beliefs. It is unreasonable to recite Taoist incantations.”

“Tsk, have you been deceived again?” Wang Ping asked puzzledly, “Then how do you know it will rain and fall rocks?”

“Forget it.”

“When did you count?”

“When you said I was not as sensible as the kids in the city.”

Wang Ping was shocked and said, “I thought you were walking around in the mountains and fishing.”

Chu Qianli puffed up her cheeks and said with dissatisfaction: “It’s too much, I’m observing the celestial phenomena seriously!”

Talking about Twilight Star graciously rounded it off: “Alright, alright.”

Wang Ping’s face was dazed: “Because you used to spend a whole day in a daze in the yard, I also said that you went up the mountain and escaped from work… Then you were in a daze to watch the sky?”

Chu Qianli: “No, that is indeed a daze and laziness.”

Wang Ping: “…”

Wang Ping was deceived again and said angrily: “That’s why I said you ran the train with your mouth full! You can’t tell which sentence is true and which is false!”

Chu Qianli lowered her eyes, her eyes flickered, and she whispered softly: “It’s very important whether it’s true or false. As long as everyone is happy and things go well, it doesn’t matter whether it’s true or false.”

“But you are like a liar like this.”

“Don’t be like, I am.”

Chu Qianli and Wang Ping bickered back and forth, but talked about Mu Xing but listened to them. When he heard this, he was convinced that Wang Ping didn’t know anything, and he was afraid that he hadn’t told anyone about him at the table.

She is the number one liar in the world, and she thinks it doesn’t matter if it is true or false, so she won’t say anything that makes “everyone unhappy and things go wrong”.

Because of this, he pretended to be fine since entering the village and never mentioned the sad secret.

If she didn’t take the initiative to say, he would not know. He will accompany her, but will not pierce her.

After the meal, Wang Ping asked Chu Qianli to come into the house to prepare the clothes and snacks for stargazing at night, while he cleaned up the dishes and went to the tap to wash the dishes.

Tan Mu Xing stood by the pool at a loss. He has no job now and his conscience is disturbed. He tentatively said: “May I help wash it?”

“No, you two don’t know what to do at first sight. It’s not as fast as I wash.” Wang Ping saw him look panic, and said again, “You have to panic and put the tables and chairs away and put them in the corner. That’s it.”

The three of them were eating outdoors in the yard. Tan Muxing honestly moved the tables and chairs away, while Wang Ping squatted by the pool to wash the tableware. The two chatted one after another.

In the distant grass, insects screamed, and water was rushing in the yard.

While washing the dishes, Wang Ping casually said, “Why are you going back to the village with her?”

Tan Mu Xing was stunned, and said in a panic: “Ah, just come out during summer vacation…”

“People who can deal with her frequently are either the people who are unlucky in life, or the people who yearn for her to be able to pinch and count…” Wang Ping raised her eyes, “Neither are you.”

Tan Mu Xing smiled bitterly: “This is a bit arbitrary? Isn’t Sister Pingping familiar with her too?”

“When I met her, I did not have a very good life. I was owed money when I went to work, and I was cheated when I was looking for a job. I didn’t have a high level of education. I couldn’t go back to my hometown…” She and her grandfather, I’ve long wanted to hang them on a rope, anyway, I have no hope of doing anything.”

Tan Muxing was surprised: “Aren’t you from Yinlong Village?”

“It wasn’t before, but now it’s, but my hometown is also a rural village, which I can’t go back to. They said at the time, don’t make a fuss and go back to the village with them. I thought to myself that since I don’t have anything, then come here, and then Come here!”

Tan Muxing hesitated and said: “I can’t imagine Sister Pingping… you are looking for life?”

Wang Ping always has a hearty personality, a neat job, and educates Chu Qianli from time to time. It has nothing to do with weakness at all.

“Humans can change. I think of the past now, and I feel too stupid. It’s a big trouble to die.” Wang Ping laughed at herself, “but I felt that I couldn’t live anymore.”

When Wang Ping first came to Yinlong Village, she was so embarrassed and unable to fight. She thought that her life was so gloomy and that there was no point in doing anything, and she would never succeed anyway.

Chu Qianli and Chu Yixun didn’t force her at the time. There were always people in the village sending vegetables and grains, and the three of them cooked vegetables to survive day after day.

Chu Qianli and Chu Yixun were always doing the fortune-telling in the yard, while Wang Ping squatted aside and listened boredly, seeing who the grandfather and grandson were to sweep the floor and compete for the divination. Sweep the floor for half an hour, most of the day in the game.

Wang Ping often sees help-seekers who come to visit the two masters. Under the influence of all kinds of affairs, she suddenly feels bright from one day, sweeping away the continuous depression, as if she is reborn.

It was a beautiful sunny day, Wang Ping felt full of power for the first time, and the world seemed not so bad. She couldn’t bear the dull and diligent work of the two. She cleaned the house after grabbing the broom with one hand, and felt that the boiled vegetables were really unpalatable, so she cooked by herself that day.

She still seems to be able to do something, not a completely useless person.

Chu Qianli said that she was suitable for breeding work, and Chu Yizheng gave her an identity in the village, so she settled in the village logically. She is indeed inexplicably good at raising animals. Raising chickens and ducks makes more money than working. Besides, she likes the atmosphere of Yinlong Village, so she decided to settle down here.

The people of Yinlong Village were in awe of Chu Yizheng and Chu Qianli, but Wang Ping was not a native villager. She is still grateful for the help of the two masters, but can get to know them more deeply.

“The director praised her very high, but in fact, if she doesn’t use her ability, you know that she is timid and afraid of death. A snake and a chicken can overturn her, and she is not a master… …” Wang Ping sneered and added, “But she does have some ability.”

“Not only is she able to pinch and count, but she also knows it clearly in her heart. She is usually too lazy to die, but her grandfather did it herself on the day of his burial, not letting anyone intervene. I asked her why, and she said it was him.” Wang Ping said calmly.

Talking about Muxing was taken aback.

Wang Ping shook the water droplets on the bowls and chopsticks. She got up and stood up and said peacefully: “I don’t know why you want to go back to the village with her, but she usually looks very annoying. In fact, she is the most sophisticated.”

Chu Qianli learned numerology, so it’s impossible to be really ignorant.

“She is deliberate to make you feel annoying, but she is also sincere to make you happy. It is a mixture of true and false. You can get along well with her by understanding this.”

Talking about Mu Xing’s heart touching, he lowered his gaze and whispered, “Why does Sister Pingping want to tell me this?”

Wang Ping smiled and said, “Because you want to know that it is written on your face, but you always listen when you enter the village without speaking.”

Talking about Muxing would not come if he was not interested. He always listened silently, learning about Chu Qianli from the past through the people around him.

Tan Muxing was silent for a long time, bowed his head and said: “…Thank you.”

“Small things, you two will go see the stars later, I’ll pack up and go to sleep.” Wang Ping said heartily, “she knows this too, and the road is more familiar than me.”

Tan Muxing nodded in response.

After a while, Chu Qianli packed up things and went out. She saw Tan Muxing in the courtyard, looking around and saying, “Where is Pingping?”

“Sister Pingping said she is resting.”

“So early?” Chu Qianli said happily, “Walk around, then let’s go by ourselves!”

The two of them walked up the mountain path to a high place, and it didn’t take long before they saw a flat green shade, vast stars all over the sky, and outlined a shining galaxy.

The starry sky in the village is completely different from that in the city. It is like a special effects blockbuster in a movie, as if to have a panoramic view of the secrets of the universe.

“Today’s vision is very good, I can see the purple star.” Chu Qianli said with joy, and reached out to point to the same table, “over there is the purple star, the former North Star, now called Beta Ursa Minor.”

Tan Muxing stared at the starry sky blankly and asked: “Once the North Star?”

“Yes, people in ancient times thought that Ziwei Star could not move, so they thought it was Emperor Star. But everything can move, so the Polaris is not it now. Even many rules in Ziwei Doushu no longer apply.”

Tan Muxing’s eyes were dumbfounded: “…It sounds like Ziwei Doushu has become scientific.”

“It’s very scientific.” Chu Qianli noticed that he was intently admiring the stars, and suggested, “Do you want to take the special products home?”

Tan Muxing said suspiciously: “What other specialties are there?”

“Take a star back.”

“…Isn’t it just picking up rocks on the ground and then saying it’s meteorite fragments?”

“Of course not, real stars on the ground.” Chu Qianli took out the glass jar behind him and triumphantly showed him that there was a flying firefly in the jar, like a shining star in the night sky.

Tan Muxing took the glass jar in surprise: “Where did this come from?”

Chu Qianli casually pointed to the side, thousands of sparkles in the forest, all dancing fireflies, really woven on the ground into an endless star screen.

They are like small lamps suspended among dense leaves, drifting along the narrow mountain road, and they are like golden powder swaying in the air, shining with agile and leisurely light.

The stars in the sky are like dreams, and the light on the ground is beating.

The two were surrounded by stars, enjoying everything quietly.

Tan Muxing looked at the firefly in the bottle, he unscrewed the glass jar, let the light spot fly out, merge into the light stream not far away, and the bug disappeared in no time.

Chu Qianli looked at this scene, her face hesitated: “Don’t you like it?”

Tan Muxing shook his head: “No, I just feel pitiful.”

Chu Qianli pondered for a few seconds, and pointed out: “The firefly can only live for more than a week. It sounds pitiful, but it is short and shiny, and maybe you don’t feel pitiful.”

“In fact, it’s good to appreciate its light, why do you think about it so much?”

Tan Muxing’s hand holding the glass jar trembled. He looked up at her in disbelief, only to find that she was not serious about her previous laughter, but showed a little embarrassed look.

Chu Qianli smiled bitterly: “You show that expression again, otherwise I will perform a magic, can you forget that, OK?”

Talking about Twilight Star does not speak.

She deliberately didn’t return to He’s house early, and deliberately didn’t tell anyone, but she didn’t know where he learned about it.

Tan Muxing is not the person who actively invites him. He is afraid of causing trouble to other people. If he wants to return to the village with her, there must be bigger news that will hit him.

She can count.

Chu Qianli lowered his eyes and whispered: “It’s not good like before. You can think that I’m naive and unreasonable and annoying, but I don’t have to feel sorry for me. I can be very happy every day.”

Tan Muxing trembled: “…Is this okay?”

Chu Qianli nodded: “Very well. I study astrology because I want others to be happy and everyone can be happy. Some words are unhappy when they are said. That’s why I need to speak, why can’t I forget it?”

Tan Muxing shook his head: “Astrology is not purely fun, so I can’t forget it.”

Chu Qianli: “You are obviously not interested in these…”

Tan Muxing said with a strong smile: “But you said that the core of astrology is growth, and painful growth is also growth. Life is not just a taste.”

“I shouldn’t have said so much, you have memorized it all…” Chu Qianli complained to herself, her eyes were bright and she begged softly, “Please, forget it.”

“I will study hard in the future. I won’t talk nonsense anymore. I won’t always make outrageous demands. I absolutely have everything in morality, intelligence, physicality, beauty and work…” Chu Qianli earnestly promised, and wailed, “I just ask. Don’t remember this matter? Is it okay? Amnesia in place, okay?”

Obviously he shouldn’t know the last thing, but he knew it.

When Tan Muxing saw her pleading tragically, he turned sideways slightly and shook his head firmly.

Chu Qianli didn’t expect that he usually talks well, but now he is so stubborn that he is at a loss for a while.

She bowed her head in frustration: “Then can I do something to cheer you up? What I do best is astrology, but you don’t seem to like it.”

“Why do you want to make me happy?”

“Because it made you feel that emotion, I don’t feel able to repay it.”

Tan Muxing took a deep breath. He understood Wang Ping’s words at this moment. Chu Qianli was not ignorant, but when she became sensible, the people around him might not be able to accept it. That meant that things were beyond her control, and she had to show her true face while laughing.

Later, he made a special trip to read the explanation of the cards of Fools, and also studied the tarot cards behind by the way.

She is the No. 1 magician in the Tarot. When she is in position, she is the only one who is superior and intelligent, and can control the whole world. When she is in reverse position, she reveals deception and vanity, leaving only the illusion created by chaos.

Her magic disappeared briefly, and he shouldn’t force her anymore.

The magician’s casting is over, and it’s the next priestess’s turn. Grasp enough information, and then calm down and be objective.

Tan Muxing stands under the stars and the moon, the night is black, the starlight is white, and the star and night are silently opposed in eternity. He calmed his complex emotions in the silence, trying to calm down his tone: “You don’t have to pay.”

Chu Qianli was startled.

Tan Muxing smiled and said: “Although I know, I don’t believe this, so I am not upset. You said that fate can be changed, right? It doesn’t matter?”

“You’ve seen my astrolabe, and you know I don’t believe it?” Tan Muxing’s eyes were soft, “So you don’t have to coax me specifically, and you don’t need to feel sorry. You still don’t owe it, so don’t think about paying it back.”

Chu Qianli was skeptical, he wanted to say, “…really?”

Tan Muxing nodded earnestly: “Well, I don’t believe it. I used to be afraid of telling you that you were not happy.”

Chu Qianli carefully looked at his expression. While tilting her head, she tentatively said: “Is it really unhappy? Then I want to make you trouble?”

Tan Muxing said relaxedly: “What are you going to make?”

Chu Qianli pointed at the sky. She blinked and said straightforwardly: “I want the stars in the sky.”

Tan Muxing was silent for a moment, he unscrewed the glass jar in his hand and said decisively: “I’ll help you get the stars on the ground back…”

Chu Qianli found that Tan Muxing had recovered as usual, and she finally breathed a sigh of relief, thanking that she did not believe in metaphysics at the same table. If he has been depressed, then she really can’t think of a way.

The two talked about the matter frankly and openly, as if releasing their long-stuck emotions, talking and laughing to enjoy the scenery under the stars.

Chu Qianli regretted: “If the stars on the ground are also let go, then I have to think about specialty products again.”

“Still thinking about this?” Tan Muxing smiled helplessly, “Don’t look for it, you are the specialty of your village, so it’s a reluctant deal.”

“So fooling people?”

“Don’t you usually fool your homework like this?”

As soon as Chu Qianli’s eyes rolled, she cunningly discussed: “Then you know it now, can I not do my homework in the future?”

Tan Muxing shook his head: “No, I don’t believe this, so I still have to study, otherwise I didn’t have a college degree. Didn’t you have a good geography when you interviewed that day? You can definitely learn well.”

Chu Qianli murmured, “That’s a knowledge point that takes one or two points from the exam! It will be tiring to study again!”

Talking about Twilight Star: “It’s definitely okay to come on.”

Chu Qianli was dissatisfied when she heard this, but she was also completely relieved. Tan Muxing would say this, which means that he is emotionally stable and does not hide his grief.

He calmed down suddenly, really sure that he could change, and really didn’t believe in all of this.

Tan Muxing even talked about how he learned about this, as well as about the Dadao Master and the Pan Dao Conference.

Chu Qianli said sourly: “No wonder you never let me count. It turns out that there is a master at home. If you listen to him and don’t listen to me, I’m useless to you.”

Tan Muxing waved his hand in a panic, and explained, “No, no, I really didn’t find him for the calculation, it was the Daoist who came over by himself!”

“Hmph, he ran over, can’t you cover your ears?” Chu Qianli said awkwardly, “You never let me count.”

“Ah… it’s impolite to cover your ears?” Tan Muxing faltered for a long time. Seeing her unconvinced, he kindly promised, “…I’ll cover my ears next time.”

When Chu Qianli heard this, she was satisfied and nodded: “Yes, listen less to the nonsense of fortune tellers, and believe more in the words of our astrologers who keep pace with the times!”

Talking about Twilight Star: “?” Good fellow, she is a fortune teller, she is an astrologer.

Tan Muxing asked: “Then do you know about the Pan Dao Conference? Dao Sugan said that there will be many experts to participate, maybe you can find…”

Chu Qianli simply said: “I don’t know, don’t go, it’s boring.”

Tan Muxing was immediately surprised: “Why?”

Chu Qianli raised an eyebrow impatiently: “I’m the number one in the world. What have I been doing before, can I teach them how to count? I can help ordinary people solve problems, but there is no need to specially support the education and walk with me?”

“Don’t believe that Taoist priest. I am definitely the ceiling of the world. It is better to count on me than to count on them.” Chu Qianli blinked obediently and hinted, “You give me two more clothes and let me write two papers less, maybe. I think of it when I’m happy, don’t worry about those unreliable people.”

Talking about Twilight Star: “…”

Tan Muxing is now convinced that the magician has magic again, and she has changed back to the omnipotent look of beggars, and began to make a bunch of bear children’s demands, wanting to cheer up completely.
