The Greatest Astrologist - Chapter 61
The work of the expert advisory group is to provide folklore knowledge, guide project construction, and mediate the relationship between the project team and the local aborigines. It does not mean becoming a local clergyman. These are basically two concepts.
As the chief examiner of the interview, Pan Yicheng did rely on various relationships to find experts, but the word “feng shui” would not be written on the official documents. He is knowledgeable and knows how to find people, but he doesn’t mean other colleagues believe this.
In Zhou Qu’s view, Pan Yicheng is a professor and engineer, and it is normal for him to guide the construction of the project.
Chu Qianli pointed out that the pain was obviously abnormal without contacting others. Some people just said that the shaman can exorcise demons, which is beyond the normal cognitive structure.
The aboriginals presented shaman masks as if they were crowned, which naturally made Zhou Qu panicked and afraid of touching the red line. They want to respect religious culture, but they must never participate in religious activities.
Pan Yicheng put a lot of weight on it. He directly defined the situation as a traditional dance and gave a reasonable explanation, which made Zhou Qu relieved.
Chu Qianli also drew the boundaries cleanly and solemnly said: “I’m really not a shaman, I just learned about shaman culture before I came here…”
“I don’t know how to treat illnesses, just now there were medical staff.” Chu Qianli said seriously, “I feel that there is a bit of a misunderstanding, I believe in Marxism!”
The shaman is a clergyman, she doesn’t believe in religion at all, this is really nonsense.
Seeing that her expression did not seem to be false, Zhou Qu specifically approached the local leaders and said: “You should explain to them, don’t go outside and talk nonsense. It is not good for our colleagues to spread it like this.”
Chu Qianli was here to do the project, not to preach, and the nature of the incident cannot be changed.
“Okay, I will explain to them a few words, but I don’t think it’s very useful.” The local leader said helplessly, “They worship many gods, and they have no doctrine. Sometimes they say you are you, whether you believe in religion or not.”
“You can just treat this title as a compliment, just like a Cantonese calling a pretty girl, and you won’t be really lost. We all know it in our hearts.”
“…But I think Cantonese people are serious about calling pretty girls.”
Chu Qianli couldn’t wait to pat her chest to make sure that she had no religious beliefs, but she was still holding the shaman mask given by the aborigines in her hand, and the appearance of trying to explain it was a bit subtle.
Zhou Qu always felt that something was wrong, but couldn’t tell why, so he whispered: “I thought it would end before it started, and all were taken back for education.”
If the incident is qualitative, all cadres should not even want to run.
Pan Yicheng reassures: “How come? We keep in mind the triple attitude towards religion, namely, not believing in religion, learning more about religion, caring more about religious people, and firmly grasping the initiative in religious work!”
“Old Pan, you better be reliable.” Zhou Qu looked at Chu Qianli and talked about Muxing, and said, “Take them with you tomorrow. I always feel that you are all pretending to be pigs and tigers. Let’s come together.”
Zhou Qu was in a weird mood. He couldn’t see through the expert advisory group now, so he simply brought them all with him.
Pan Yicheng laughed: “This is not right, don’t underestimate people.”
Chu Qianli’s lazy plan was broken, she said without a word: “It’s really not, it’s a pig!”
Zhou Qu: “Old Pan said the same every time at the beginning.”
Tan Muxing: “…” Turns out to be a routine language?
After everyone participated in the reception banquet, they were finally able to return to the house. The three bid farewell to Zhou Qu, left the yurt, and walked along the path to the base.
The stars are sparse tonight, and the cool breeze is blowing in the middle of the night, so that people who have just come out are refreshed in the cool air.
Chu Qianli was holding the mask and robe, and she could only thank the aboriginals for accepting it, and said helplessly: “I really didn’t expect that a casual mention could cause this…”
She wanted to remind the female dancers of her injuries, but she didn’t expect to be identified as a shaman by the locals.
“Because I can’t calculate the divination, so I have basically never calculated it. It is normal that Lao Zhou hasn’t seen it before.” Pan Yicheng said, “It is too troublesome to explain the arithmetic to him. It is better to make it simple.
Tan Muxing didn’t expect Professor Pan to be good at hexagrams, and curiously asked: “Then how did you join the project in the first place?”
“My experience in civil engineering is not fake. Construction engineers have to understand some misunderstandings, but not every feng shui master can do construction engineering. A little respect for the profession, the certificate is not for nothing!”
Tan Muxing suddenly realized that, aside from Zhouyi Fengshui and other things, Professor Pan still has a strong resume, otherwise he would not dare to send him to do the project. It’s normal for others to fail bids, and it’s true that few people can meet on both sides.
The episode of the wind banquet aroused the desire of the three to communicate, and they simply walked and talked in the dark.
Pan Yicheng said with emotion: “It’s not good to shout superstitions when you encounter metaphysics. Of course, it’s not good to be confused. Many people are confused about concepts. Metaphysics, religion, numeracy, and spirituality are talked together. I don’t know, the more I don’t understand, the more I love it.”
The aboriginals were obviously like this, and when they discovered Chu Qianli’s unusual ability, they concluded that she was a clergyman.
Chu Qianli felt that the shaman mask was heavy, so she hung it on Tan Muxing casually, listening to Pan Yicheng’s words one after another.
Talking about Muxing’s listening attitude, he honestly took up his mask and asked, “I think there is something in common?”
“That’s right or wrong, what is Xuan’s original intention? It is red and black, and it looks vague, extending the meaning of esoteric and mysterious. Xuan, who is called the deep, studies the problem of deep and deep, the law of heaven and earth. “Pan Yicheng said, “Some people always like to directly link metaphysics with ghosts and gods. That is because the definition at the beginning of the paper is wrong, and there is no way to talk later.”
Chu Qianli whispered: “Sure enough, it’s a professor. Take the paper as an example.”
Pan Yicheng smiled and said: “Since it is a rule, it is still followable. You are good at fortune-telling, and you should know the most about the principle of this thing and whether it has anything to do with ghosts and gods.”
“The definition of religion is another matter. It is a special social ideology, which is similar to metaphysics, but there are also differences.” Pan Yicheng commented, “I think the word shaman is quite good. Its original meaning is a wise man. At that time, he would treat illnesses and watch the astronomical phenomena, which was amazing. No one else would know how to do it. He was still a knowledgeable person.”
Chu Qianli felt clear and agreed, “It’s still a human being.”
“Yes, it’s still human, that’s what it means.”
“Outsiders think these mysteries are because they don’t understand and there is no way to distinguish them. Either they are all dross or they are directly superstitious. This understanding is very shallow.” Pan Yicheng laughed, “Some people told me that they believed in Buddhism. Two days later, he said to believe in religion. When he asked him about the teachings of Buddhism and Taoism, he didn’t know anything. It was not as strong as my unbelief, so what do you believe? This is not superstition, blindly believe it.”
“Study and research in depth, and then be able to judge. It’s not that others believe in everything. That means lack of speculative ability. I have no religious beliefs, not my career or identity requirements, but I have studied religious culture seriously, and finally chose not to Religious.”
Chu Qianli heard what Pan Yicheng was saying. She moved slightly in her heart and said seriously: “I don’t believe in religion, and I don’t think of myself as a god, or even a priest.”
Pan Yicheng agreed: “There is nothing wrong with the clergy since ancient times, and the clergy have basically been kosher, and your current academic qualifications are indeed not enough.”
Chu Qianli: “?”
Chu Qianli felt aggrieved. She grabbed Tan Muxing and complained in a whimper, “Look at him, listen to…”
Talking about Mu Xing’s tone, he said roundly: “Okay, okay, I have to go to university.”
Pan Yicheng encouraged: “The pupils should study hard, and the clergy are now starting to master and Ph.D.”
Chu Qianli: “…Very well, I have no chance with the clergy in this life.”
Late at night, base.
Pan Yicheng took the two to the dormitory and asked them if they had forgotten anything, and then set a meeting time for tomorrow morning before returning to the room to rest.
Seeing Professor Pan closing the door, Chu Qianli muttered as she dragged her luggage to the side: “Although he is not fortune-telling, he has some views like Grandpa.”
Tan Muxing helped her bring the mask back to the house, and asked in doubt, “Professor Pan?”
“Yes.” Chu Qianli said, “My grandfather said before that, putting aside those complicated appearances, these things are to lead people to be good, or to guide people to live better, and they are still human beings.”
“They learn differently, but the root causes are all the same.”
Pan Yicheng studied contempt, and Chu Yizhen studied destiny, but ended up in the same way by different routes.
Tan Muxing smiled and said, “Didn’t Professor Pan know your grandfather? Since he is a friend, he must be able to talk.”
Chu Qianli’s tone was cheerful: “That’s right, just like we can talk too!”
Tan Muxing was taken aback for a moment. He didn’t expect her to say this. He was a little embarrassed, and then softly responded, “…Um.”
The rooms of the expert advisory group are close together, so it is convenient to communicate, and they can greet each other at any time. All three of them are single rooms with very little furniture, but they are very clean.
After a while, the two said goodnight to each other, Chu Qianli rested in the room, and talked about Muxing to the next room.
Tan Muxing went back to the house to put things in, and returned home to report safety.
“Stars, are you used to living there? Are you tired?”
“Everything is fine.” Tan Muxing thought for a few seconds, and said sincerely, “I’m very happy.”
I am very happy to have a chat with her, and I am very happy to see the new scenery together.
The next day, Chu Qianli and Tan Muxing were called by Pan Yicheng early. After a brief meal in the cafeteria, they were driven to their destination today.
Pan Yicheng also issued information to the two of them: “You can take a look when you have nothing to do. This is the topographic map over there. There is always a section of the railway that has to go through.”
Tan Muxing looked at the topographic map and commented: “It is difficult to build a railway here, right?”
Pan Yicheng wondered: “Are you also contemptuous?”
Tan Muxing shook his head slightly: “No, just use geographic knowledge to analyze.”
Pan Yicheng laughed: “Then you and Lao Zhou are the same people!”
After Chu Qianli read the picture, her scalp numb instantly, as if she encountered a problem in the school exam.
Pan Yicheng saw that her face was wrong, he laughed and hit haha: “Look slowly, don’t worry.”
Pan Yicheng ran to the front to sit with Zhou Qu, leaving only Chu Qianli and Tan Muxing sitting in the back.
Tan Muxing found her look weird and curiously asked: “What’s the matter?”
“You were right. It is very difficult to build a railway here. The main terrain is strange.” Chu Qianli scratched his head in distress.
“taboo?”
“Yes, Feng Shui is to create a livable environment for people, either suitable for living in life or suitable for living after death. Some of the principles can even be explained by science. It’s easy to get sick if you live.” Chu Qianli said helplessly, “but now with the development of the times, the house type cannot be controlled by the expensive house price, so there will be taboos.”
In ancient times, large families had the freedom to build houses, but now they are all unified real estates, so it is naturally impossible to be perfect.
Chu Qianli shook the blueprint in his hand: “It’s the same this time. According to Feng Shui, it’s really not easy to build, but the railway can’t be broken in the middle, so we can only try to reduce the impact.”
This is an unavoidable question of choice. Just as in the ancient teachings, it is not recommended to live on a cemetery, but in some cities, there are groups of tombs.
Chu Qianli and Tan Muxing flipped through the information, and was confused all the way, and simply fell asleep in the car.
After a long journey, the group finally arrived at the destination workstation.
The surrounding scenery has become more and more desolate, and yurts can occasionally be seen near the base, but the workstations are deserted and deserted.
“It seems there is no one?” Chu Qianli got out of the car and stretched out, she looked left and right in a novel way.
Tan Muxing stood beside him, and he stretched out his hand to take a photo, recording a landscape completely different from that near the base.
Zhou Qu: “It’s fine if there is really no one. I just came to the workstation to make trouble. I was not there at that time. Fortunately, nothing happened.”
“Is that so angry?”
“Isn’t it? I really have to say that the workers are also working hard. They went all the way here to start work, and they are not seen by the locals. They are also wronged in their hearts…” Zhou Qu said with eyebrows. The railroad tracks, it’s been abandoned here.”
Pan Yicheng: “That’s what I said, but we don’t set up a site here. The locals must feel that it is not good for them to complete the construction, and the rush of driving every day will affect their lives.”
From the overall point of view, the completion of the railway is beneficial to the development of the entire region; from a partial point of view, the remote areas without stations do indeed receive low railway benefits.
“Mainly they also believe in mountain gods. Anyway, I don’t understand even after asking about it. They believe in different things here.”
Zhou Qu and Pan Yicheng talked about the project, while Chu Qianli and Tan Muxing met people at the workstation.
The oncoming man was dark-skinned and had a tall nose. He was still wrapped in ethnic decorative ribbons. He saw Chu Qianli in the crowd at a glance, and he saluted excitedly: “He Saiyinbainu!”
Chu Qianli and Tan Muxing were caught off guard by being greeted by someone, and they hurriedly responded, feeling a little at a loss for a while.
The man has a strange tone, with the charm of ethnic minorities, and said with great interest: “My name is Batu, are you shamans from far away?”
“I am not, I don’t, don’t talk nonsense…” Chu Qianli was afraid that he would have another dance, and said hurriedly, “We are all socialist builders!”
Sure enough, Batu murmured in his mouth in the next second, and he was about to dance to the two of them, and he would give Chu Qianli a big gift.
After Chu Qianli came here, she was hurt by the dance. She subconsciously looked at Tan Muxing and sent out a distress signal frantically, with the words pitiful and helpless all over her face.
Talking about Muxing Xing had to stop, and said: “Ah, this…”
At this time, Zhou Qu called to a halt, and said in surprise: “Batu, what are you doing?”
After Zhou Qu and Pan Yicheng talked about the work situation, he turned around and found that his subordinates were awkwardly dancing to the expert advisory group (?).
Batu was named by the leader. He instantly recovered his singing and jumping posture, and even his voice became normal. In one second, he switched to fluent Mandarin: “I haven’t seen foreigners very much. Welcome guests from afar.”
“How did you meet a stranger in the university you attended in the imperial capital?”
“I’m not afraid that they just came to be disappointed. Outsiders think that wrestling and archery can dance here. I said in my heart that we can’t lose our face.”
Zhou Qu: “?”
Zhou Qu was a little speechless, and he introduced Batu’s identity to the two. The other party is currently stationed at the railway station. Although he is a minority, he basically only looks like he can’t even speak Mongolian.
Chu Qianli’s peace talks with Mu Xing suddenly realized that this is a mischievous ethnic minority compatriot who relied on his distinctive appearance to try to blind them with stereotypes.
Chu Qianli: “But you just spoke Mongolian…”
“That sentence.” Batu’s tone changed, and then changed his accent, “Thunder Monkey!”
“…”
Tan Mu Xing said politely: “Are you studying in the Imperial Capital?”
“Yes, I’m not used to it. We all ride horses when we go to school, but the Imperial Capital can’t do it.”
When Chu Qianli listened to Batu and tried to fool around, she simply followed him and said leisurely: “Isn’t it, I always ride a panda in the village, and I can’t even go back to the emperor.”
Batu praised: “Someone finally understands my pain without riding a horse!”
Talking about Muxing: “…” Did the two really suffer from studying in the imperial capital?
Zhou Qu heard the small talk of young people, he really didn’t understand their stalks, and commented: “The people you brought can talk nonsense just like you.”
“It’s as if the person you brought isn’t nonsense.” Pan Yicheng glanced at the evening star and said, “You are fortunate that the other one I brought does not speak, otherwise the truth is more outrageous than nonsense.”
Pan Yicheng said in his heart, horse riding and pandas are nothing, and the plane will come out later.
