The Greatest Astrologist - Chapter 54
Chu Qianli graciously wiped the Hongjing compass, and then properly received it in his schoolbag. This is grandpa’s relic anyway, no matter whether it is useful or not, it is impossible to deliberately break it.
“I just heard a loud voice in the room.” Tan Muxing asked worriedly, “Are you okay?”
“It’s okay. There’s nothing wrong with the newly bought compass.” Chu Qianli touched his chin and said hesitantly, “No, it’s me who is okay. He is not sure if he is okay.”
There are two compasses in Chu Qianli’s schoolbag, one is grandpa’s Hongjing compass, and the other is a new ordinary compass. She handed the Hongjing compass to Tan Muxing at the door, and took the initiative to take a seat after entering the house, deliberately placing the schoolbag in the designated position, so that the positions of Wan Ketan, the ordinary compass, and the Hongjing compass were in the same straight line.
What the hexagrams and objects provide are characteristic information and directions. The characteristics of the two compasses are similar, and if they are both in the same direction, it will naturally be confusing. Wan Ketan believed that Chu Qianli would not let important items leave his body, and of course he was sure that the Haomen compass was in his schoolbag, so he was preconceived.
The masters are convinced that the result of his divination is okay, Wan Ketan just lost because he didn’t understand Chu Qianli. She is a natural liar, and the information provided is false and true, and wrong information cannot be entered into the hexagram. If you make a mistake, you will lose everything.
Talking about Muxing: “Will he still trouble you?”
“Hey, why is he bothering me? We are just playing around.” Chu Qianli showed off the eight jade treasures to the tablemates, “Look at him giving me something, we are really talking about funeral goods!”
“He played with me this time, he should have given up his mind.”
In the villa on the outskirts of Beijing, Wan Ketan asked the repair master to rush to rescue the smashed compass wreck.
The repairman stared at the compass for a moment, but he repaired it honestly, reconnected it together, and said helplessly: “The precision will still be affected.”
Wan Ketan waited anxiously for a long time, and said angrily: “Why is it affected? You are not the best at fixing these!”
“Is this compass important…” Facing the furious Wan Ketan, the repairman asked, “Is there any commemorative value?”
Others were helping out: “This is Master Wan’s master compass, handed down by Master Haomen, please help me again!”
The repairman raised his eyes bewilderedly, “Master Compass?”
“Yeah, yeah, old antique.”
“Then I will buy you another one. There are so many things in my shop.” The repairman said, “This is an ordinary compass. I usually don’t bother to repair it. If it breaks, I can buy it again.”
Wan Ke Tan Ru was struck by a thunderbolt from the blue sky. He almost didn’t stop when he heard this, and suddenly remembered something strange.
“How come? Look at it like this, it’s obviously age!”
“It’s all deliberately made old, maybe it looks so good.” The repairman took out the phone and said, “Why did I lie to you? You can buy the same money online.”
When everyone saw the online shopping pictures on the screen, they all looked back at Wan Ke Tan in embarrassment.
Wan Ketan was trembling with anger, he coughed violently, feeling that he was about to faint at any time.
Mastering the stick, but aiming for the yard. Chu Yizheng left Haomen in a fake death, and Chu Qianli changed the compass at will. Both of them are liars who play mystery, and they come from the same line in a certain sense.
That night, as Chu Qianli said, the seven-star lanterns went out inexplicably. Wan Ketan imitated Zhuge Liang’s five-zhang origin seven-star lamp, and wanted to extend his life, which was ridiculed by Chu Qianli.
Without mentioning whether this matter is scientific or not, Zhuge Liang had his main lamp extinguished and failed to renew his life.
Wan Ke Tan now has two lights off, which is a bad psychological suggestion. Obviously someone was watching the Seven-Star Lamp overnight, but it could be extinguished under his nose. It really seemed like an ominous prophecy.
Wan Ketan was supposed to settle the account with Chu Qianli, but now he was ill and couldn’t go out at all.
If people have expectations in their hearts, they can take a sigh of relief. Once the expectations are pierced, all the qi will be let go.
Wan Ketan originally thought that the compass could change everything, but Chu Qianli, who died young, shattered the illusion. Her words are not wrong, if the compass is useful, her fate will not be like this, and she will not be in her turn.
She is more talented than Wan Ke Tan, and nothing has changed.
Chu Yizhen was more talented than Wan Ketan, so he left naturally.
On the hospital bed, Wanke Tan faintly realized that Chu Qianli was right, but he couldn’t believe it completely. Once he was completely convinced of the matter, it might be the time to go.
He would rather believe that the compass is useful, and dare not look for it again. He is afraid that hope will be shattered when he gets it. It is completely a complicated ambivalence.
Tan Mu Xing was originally worried, but he was afraid that Wan Ke Tan would come to tie people again. Recently, he followed Chu Qianli from school closely, even on weekends, but he never encountered another storm.
In the class, Chu Qianli was sitting by the window and flipping through the books, pondering the Hongjing compass during the break.
Seeing her full attention, Tan Muxing said thoughtfully: “I haven’t met those people recently.”
Chu Qianli found that the tablemate was very concerned about Wan Ketan, she just counted it, and murmured: “Then let me do the math, see what he is doing…”
“Um…I feel better recently, not as bad as the previous period.” Chu Qianli said cheerfully, “If he doesn’t mess around with the ceremony and tries to make himself feel better, he should live two more days.”
“Does the ceremony mean the seven-star lamp?”
“That’s more than that. There are many things that count as rituals. For example, some people who ask others love me or don’t love me are reluctant…” Chu Qianli lazily said, “There are ritual formations at home and abroad, right? Let’s talk about whether this kind of thing is useful, but mistakes in the middle can make people’s minds burst.”
“This is the same as the extremely anxious senior high school fortune-telling. It’s okay if you don’t know it. It’s crazy to know, so you can’t mess around at critical moments.” Chu Qianli added, “I don’t dare to count occasionally in exams.”
It’s okay if it’s something you don’t care about. Once it’s something you value yourself, it’s very easy to be trapped by emotions and produce nervous and bad psychological hints.
Chu Qianli is very clear about Wan Ketan’s current mentality. If he wants to be smart, he won’t explore the compass anymore, and the ruthless truth may speed up the countdown.
Tan Mu Xing’s tone was gentle: “It’s fine if he doesn’t come anymore.”
“I’m afraid you will be disappointed. You seem to be paying attention recently.”
“I’m not disappointed, Uncle Qi is a little bit.” Tan Muxing was quiet for a few seconds and explained helplessly, “He has been working hard during this period, saying that it is rare to be a bodyguard when he has been a driver for too long.”
What Tan Muxing didn’t mention is that grandma was also quite excited. She felt that she had a great vision, and now she had a super double for the team.
Tan Muxing does not want daily accidents on campus, but the people around him seem to be looking forward to accidents(?).
Chu Qianli brought back the Eight Emerald Treasures that day, as well as some old books from his grandfather. After she came back, she turned it over. No wonder she hadn’t read it before. This is not about Ziwei Doushu, it’s simply the travel notes of grandpa when he was young.
“Grandpa wrote the travel notes as novels. The artistic exaggeration is like net writing. It’s no wonder that he really fudged people.” Chu Qianli flipped through the book casually. “
“Isn’t this information?” Tan Muxing asked in confusion, “I think you study every day, thinking you are studying hard.”
“Nonsense, when did I study seriously? It’s only when I read novels.”
“…”
These texts record Chu Yiluo’s Pandao experience when he was young. As a genius of Haomen, he went out to practice, and visited the mountains and rivers that the ancestor master once walked. Make some friends.
Some people’s names are frequently mentioned in the old books, such as “Xue”, “Mei”, “Ye”, etc. They should be from the Xuanmen of the same period.
Chu Qianli was shocked and said: “There is a mention of your home here!”
“Impossible.” Tan Muxing was skeptical, he probed over and looked at the old book. “Maybe it’s the same name.”
“It’s definitely not. Look at this passage. It’s definitely your family.” Chu Qianli blinked and said in a daze, “It turns out that it’s a family inheritance that doesn’t conflict. It says that your family cooperates with the reform, plus the local wind comment. Very good, so I didn’t suffer much back then.”
The Tan’s family has always been a big family that is kind and generous. It has not been beaten to death by the times after many trials and hardships. Of course, it has encountered distress and decline, but it can always turn the crisis into peace.
Chu Yizhen commented on the characteristics of this family in the book. This family knows how to converge and follow the trend, and he also praised the chef who talked about the family is really good.
Chu Qianli nodded in agreement: “I also think your food is delicious.”
Tan Muxing: “…Thank you, but is there any record of this kind of thing?”
Tan Muxing didn’t know the masters very well. Chu Qianli paid a visit to the compound after interviewing the interviewer, and Chu Yiluo praised the food after visiting the interviewer. Everyone felt that the masters were too grounded.
In the old books, Chu Yixun also recorded a lot of anecdotes about his fellows. He found that the ancestor master had great luck, and the compass he left had something in common with other sect tokens, such as the peach wood sword of Qianmen.
The book also painted the appearance of these tokens, a shriveled compass, a twisted bell, and a scribbled sword.
Chu Qianli looked at the sketch, her brows frowned, and she vomited: “It’s no wonder that Grandpa Wan can’t recognize it. My grandpa drew it like this. Who can understand it?”
“That’s it? That’s it? You’re not as strong as you can draw on your workbook!” Chu Qianli held up the book to show his grandpa’s inferior drawing skills to the same table.
Tan Muxing reminded weakly: “That was painted by your grandfather anyway.”
Chu Qianli: “So I can laugh more unscrupulously. Grandpa really can’t study talisman. He doesn’t understand how to draw talisman like this.”
Talking about Twilight Star: “?”
Chu Yizheng and others suspected that there were secrets hidden behind the tokens of various sects, but they found only three of them in the whole country, and finally the matter disappeared. Perhaps it was not the time yet, and the group of people decided to go back separately, recruit disciples, recuperate, and wait for that moment.
Chu Yizhen’s departure from his teacher’s school is the follow-up story, which is not recorded in this travel log.
Chu Qianli had a red crystal tarot in his hand, something that grandpa had never seen before. She speculated that grandpa and others could not be found back then. It may be that they could not go abroad at will. Due to the limitations of the times, they could not find overseas tokens.
Such tokens may be scattered all over the world. Grandpa’s books are all Taoist objects, but there may be other inheritances overseas, such as the Hongjing Tarot.
The grades of the senior year were boring. Chu Qianli and Tan Muxing relished the old books and read the stories about the young ambitions and the great rivers and mountains.
Chu Qianli whimpered, “Grandpa traveled through mountains and rivers when I was young, but I was studying hard in the classroom.”
“But many people couldn’t study back then.” Tan Muxing heard her sigh, and he warmly suggested, “After everything is resolved, we can also walk around. Isn’t Qiu Qingkong still making an appointment to travel abroad?”
“We can go further than them, even to places they couldn’t go back then.”
Chu Qianli was startled when he heard the words.
Tan Mu Xing never avoided Chu Qianli’s affairs, but he also had a unique firm belief that he never believed in this matter. Perhaps he was traumatized by metaphysics since he was a child. He has produced powerful antibodies, even a little bit invincible.
Those words about the future knocked him to the bottom, followed by bottoming out and rebounding. When you are mentally prepared to fall into the abyss, it also represents a new beginning. Prosperity must decline, material extremes must be reversed, and the worst is followed by the beginning of getting better.
The last thing left in Pandora’s Box is Elpis, hope and all unrealistic wishes. This is like the compass to Wan Ke Tan, and the future to Chu Qianli.
She is not sure if this is a realistic wish, but she does have infinite expectations at this moment.
Chu Qianli replied happily, “Okay. Grandpa never took a plane abroad. I can show off to him whenever I return to the village.”
After thinking about an optimistic future, the two began to look through old books again, and found a lot of unintelligible content.
Chu Qianli scratched his head confusedly: “What do you mean here? Who is Xiaozhi? Suddenly a new name?”
Chu Yizheng didn’t expect the travel notes to be read. He didn’t pay attention to writing it. He often used surnames as pronouns and occasionally smeared out typos. It was really a scribbled manuscript.
“This shouldn’t be a small branch?” Tan Muxing considered the context, he thought for a moment, and said tentatively, “Does this mean my grandfather? My grandfather’s name is Tan Qiyu.”
Chu Qianli nodded clearly and analyzed: “Ah, that means their relationship has improved. What I wrote earlier is talk, but now I am writing a small branch, which deeply exposes the author’s emotional progress and changes, and represents the author’s relationship with his friends. A sincere friendship.”
Tan Muxing felt that she was madly involved in reading comprehension, and whispered: “It’s Qi, not Xiaozhi.”
Chu Qianli suddenly remembered something, she suddenly looked up at him, and hesitated: “Xiaomu? Xiaoxing?”
Tan Muxing didn’t react for a while: “?”
Chu Qianli’s eyes lit up, and she suddenly realized, and said in surprise: “Stars! It should be stars!”
Tan Muxing was called by his nickname on the spot, his face flushed instantly, and he was incoherent in a panic: “No, no, no…”
Now only the elders call this at home, and talking about Twilight Star is no less than being publicly executed.
Chu Qianli watched him escape, she was quite interesting, and began to repeat like a curse: “Stars, stars, stars…”
Tan Muxing could only cover his ears in shame, but still couldn’t stop the magic sound from filling his ears.
“It will be called the star in the future.” Chu Qianli decided to make a decision. She suddenly remembered something, and then said, “Then I will fight to be a civilized person.
Tan Muxing: “Thank you for your thoughtfulness, but in fact you don’t need to…”
Chu Qianli turned a deaf ear to his words. She has already started to repeat, happily saying: “Stars and stars, white bear stars, knowing stars…”
“…” Tan Mu Xing was immediately embarrassed when he was yelled, his ears were feverish with shame, and he immediately covered his ears, hoping that this wave of Ling Chi could end soon.
He is now not sure whether it is “Qi” or “Xiaozhi” in the book, but he just feels that his grandfather is called “Xiaozhi”, I am afraid that he will also want to get into the ground like he does now.
