The Greatest Astrologist - Chapter 79
Qiu Qingkong has no memory of the content of the lecture. She scratched her head angrily, and muttered: “I just didn’t remember, so I proposed to go together. It’s still new to me and the price is not expensive.”
Talking about Twilight Star: “Are there any fees for this lecture?”
“Yes, but only three digits.” Qiu Qingkong emphasized, “so I listen to it again and it’s okay!”
Chu Qianli nodded: “Yes, some people want to treat insomnia and spend more than three digits.”
Qiu Qingkong: “?”
The three decided to go to the astrology lecture, ask Qiu Qingkong to book tickets on the spot, and then pinch some of them after dinner.
In the venue, there were not many audiences for the astrology lecture. Chu Qianli and others sat quietly, waiting for the lecture to officially begin.
On the left of Chu Qianli was Qiu Qingkong, and on the right was Tan Muxing. As soon as Qiu Qingkong sat down, she subconsciously yawned and said sleepily: “No, I was sleepy just after eating, I feel sleepy as soon as I feel the environment…”
Tan Mu Xing said: “…but we just sat down?”
Chu Qianli sighed with emotion: “Are you sure you are the presenter and get sleepy as soon as you speak? I suspect you don’t remember the appearance of the presenter.”
Qiu Qingkong didn’t insist until the presenter appeared, and she could not open her eyes in a daze.
After a while, the blond male lecturer and Chinese female translator came on stage. After introducing themselves, they sat down to applause and formally entered the lecture session.
The content of the lecture is relatively basic, introducing the basic knowledge of astrology, as well as the astrologer qualification examination process, which is more suitable for beginners and slightly simple for Chu Qianli.
When Chu Qianli listened roughly, she guessed the following content: “It turned out to be the ISAR certification qualification exam…”
Tan Muxing curiously asked: “What is that?”
“It’s the unified global astrologer certification qualification test, which is considered the Western Occupation industry standard…” Chu Qianli added, “Of course some astrologers may not take the test, and they do not need to hold a certificate to do this job.”
ISAR is not only a test of astrology, but also knowledge of professional ethics. This is the practice standard formulated by astrologers consciously to maintain the healthy development of the industry.
After introducing the fleeting years, the foreign male lecturer analyzed a lot of astrolabe data with examples. The helplessly straightforward way of telling seemed procrastinated, and it didn’t take long for everyone in the venue to be lethargic.
Chu Qianli was listening attentively at first. She wanted to know where the Hongjing Tarot pattern on the poster was, but suddenly she felt her left shoulder sink slightly, and she turned her head to find that Qiu Qingkong was asleep again.
Chu Qianli was leaning on the trapped astrology apprentice, and she pertinently commented: “This kind of talent who is sleepy but insists on giving money to astrology to maintain the development of the industry, there is no better leek than this.”
Tan Muxing listened very carefully, and suggested: “You can wait until the lecture is over and ask the lecturer to see where the tarot pattern comes from.”
Chu Qianli nodded.
Halfway through the lecture, the audience yawned, and sleepiness may be contagious.
Not long after, Tan Evening Xing also felt his shoulders sink. He glanced back and found that the people around him were taking a nap, and the world’s first astrologer actually fell asleep by him. The lecture was really boring, Chu Qianli fell asleep without knowing it, and leaned against his arm to take a nap.
Qiu Qingkong was resting on Chu Qianli, and Chu Qianli was talking about Duxing Xing. They were like fallen crops, they didn’t mean to wake up at all.
Talk about Twilight Star as the only sober person who is not interested in astrology: “…”
Chu Qianli slept soundly, maybe she was really sleepy, her sleeping face was quiet and well-behaved.
Tan Mu Xing was stiff and a little restless. He didn’t dare to move, so he could only act as a pillow honestly and try not to disturb her.
The astrology lecture finally ended, and there was enthusiastic applause.
Chu Qianli and Qiu Qingkong were awakened suddenly, and they subconsciously clapped their hands, blending in with ease, as if they had never slept with a fish.
“Sleep really…” Chu Qianli applauded, “No, it’s really good.”
“It feels like a stiff neck.” Qiu Qingkong rubbed her neck. She saw Tan Muxing’s sore shoulders secretly moving, and wondered, “Where did you fall asleep?”
“…No.”
The audience in the venue left one after another, and the three of them hurried forward to ask questions while the blond tutor had not left. The female translator originally wanted to help, but when they saw that their English was okay, she stood by her side and didn’t interrupt.
Facing the three of them, the blond tutor blinked and said warmly, “What’s the matter?”
Chu Qianli was holding her mobile phone. She pointed to the tarot pattern on the poster and asked politely in English: “I want to ask, what is this pattern? It looks good.”
“Oh, I also think it looks good…” The blonde tutor saw the pattern clearly and laughed, “I like to collect previous astrological information. This is a manuscript of an astrologer, which feels very unique, so I printed it.”
Chu Qianli was taken aback. She thought about the author of the Hongjing Tarot and hurriedly said, “Which astrologer’s manuscript is it?”
Chu Qianli originally took the starry sky painting from Qi Yan. The author was Lyle Gadbury. After being broken, it became this red crystal tarot, but only the part of the Grand Arcana.
After the blonde tutor finished speaking, Chu Qianli found out that it was not Lyle Gadbury, but another name that he had never heard of.
However, she once speculated that Lyle Gadbury was a pseudonym, so it is normal for the author to have two names.
“I kind of want to read this manuscript. Could you please share it with me?”
“Yes, do you have an e-mail? I will send you the electronic version.” The blonde tutor said, “There are also some astrolabe materials and ISAR exam content.”
Because there are often listeners who come to copy materials, the blond tutor is not surprised. He also introduced the courses of his association and other teachers, hoping that Chu Qianli and others could sign up to learn.
Although Chu Qianli was not interested in applying for exams, she wanted the astrologer manuscript very much. She talked with the blonde tutor for a long time and talked about astrology, and she finally gained a good impression.
“Your knowledge is perfect. I feel that I can take the test directly. Maybe I can come to lecture.” The blond tutor admired, “I will send you the information when I go back. If you have any new ideas, please feel free to share it with me. “
Foreign astrologers often exchange information, and some even publish and sell their results. However, such astrological books are quite expensive and contain a large amount of astrolabe data. The price of a book ranges from several thousand yuan.
Because of Chu Qianli’s solid knowledge of astrology, the blonde lecturer did not charge any fees, and was willing to share the astrolabe information in his hand. He just made an appointment to talk about the astrologer experience and make a friend.
After the blonde tutor left, Qiu Qingkong exclaimed: “Teacher, it turns out that you are at an international level, so I can actually pass the exam just by learning from you!”
Qiu Qingkong wanted to take the ISAR qualification, so he came here to listen to the lecture, but he didn’t expect that overseas famous teachers would recognize Chu Qianli. She knew that the other party was great before, but she didn’t expect the level to be so high.
Chu Qianli hurriedly said: “…No, no, your question is not who you want to learn from, but you have to learn.”
After listening to the lecture, the three of them played around outside, and finally returned home before dark.
Inside the villa, Chu Qianli went back to the house and opened the mailbox to check. Sure enough, he saw the e-mail from the blond lecturer and couldn’t wait to check it out. When she was first learning astrology, she often exchanged information with people, but later she didn’t need it to a certain degree, but she was fairly familiar with this link.
Chu Qianli compiled his own Western astrology data, and then summarized some of his experience and insights, and sent it to foreign tutors. He was thankful for sharing. It is precisely because countless cases have been collected that astrology has gradually figured out its laws and developed to the present stage.
There is no way to talk about this subject without the experience of its predecessors, so many people will specifically collect astrolabe data, from celebrities and dignitaries to unknown persons, looking back on their lives through astrolabes. Only the more astrolabes you have seen, the higher your astrological level can be.
Of course, the astrologer’s chart is also worth analyzing, and various attributes are obvious.
What the blond tutor sent was a manuscript of a classical astrologer, which included the other’s chart-watching experience, and even included this person’s chart. Although his name is not Lyle Gadbury, Chu Qianli looked at the astrolabe on the manuscript and confirmed that this classical astrologer was the one who created the Red Crystal Tarot.
Judging from his horoscope, he is extremely talented in astrology and painting, and he has a cautious character, indeed like the type of painting under a pseudonym.
The Red Crystal Tarot is a work of the 18th century. This astrologer has also passed away many years. The manuscript is an electronic version of which was photocopied. There are some graffiti scattered around the corners, which are the Tarot designs on the promotional posters.
This should be the draft left by the author before creating the Hongjing Tarot. No wonder it is much simpler and rougher than the real thing in Chu Qianli’s hands. The foreign speaker thought the graffiti was very beautiful, so he just put it on the poster to embellish it, which was discovered by Chu Qianli and others.
Chu Qianli learned of Lyle Gadbury’s real name and astrolabe through the manuscript data.
She took out the Hongjing Tarot and compared it to the draft, and suddenly felt that the manuscript had more content.
After Chu Qianli disassembled the starry sky painting, only a large Akana was obtained, but there was still a draft of the Little Akana on the manuscript.
The Tarot cards are used in combination of the Big Arcana and the Little Arcana. She originally thought that there were only these for the Red Crystal Tarot, but now it seems that this is only a half deck, and the remaining Little Arcana is not in the starry sky picture.
“No wonder I always feel that there is something missing…” Chu Qianli suddenly realized that this pair of tarots is old and not a common tarot system. Naturally, others need to explore and use it. She used to mistakenly thought that there was no small Arcana, but now it seems that the whole deck was separated midway.
In addition to the Red Crystal Tarot, the manuscript records a lot of information summarized by Lyle Gadbury.
After Chu Qianli read Lyle Gadbury’s astrolabe, she also found one surprising thing. From the astrolabe, this person was as long as hers, but according to the time he lived through that catastrophe!
The time when Lyle Gadbury created the Red Crystal Tarot was after his death. Most astrologers believed that the astrologers could not accurately see the life span of a person, but in classical astrology there are judgments about the life span, and the records of people who died prematurely were more detailed.
Lyle Gadbury was originally a person who died young, but he didn’t know what happened to him. He passed the time of his death wonderfully, and he drew the Red Crystal Tarot in the back. Regrettably, his detailed experience is not recorded in the manuscript, and people who want to change their lives cannot learn from it.
Chu Qianli looked at the Red Crystal Tarot on the table, the surface of the tarot card was pulsating with a faint light, and the back was covered with red flashes, like a beating flame of life, looking exquisite and mysterious.
She suddenly had a hunch, even though there is no record in the manuscript, the astrologer may have cast this deck of his own adventure hundreds of years ago, only waiting for someone who can solve the mystery to appear.
Chu Qianli learned of Lyle Gadbury’s real name and sent it to Tan Muxing, asking him to help find it.
Tan Muxing did not live up to expectations, and he really collected some news.
“I used the name you sent me to check. There is indeed this astrologer in history. Basically, his manuscripts have been photocopied. The original and some relics seem to have been auctioned off.” Tan Muxing looked at the computer screen and said The web page showed her, “But all of them are unsuccessful.”
Chu Qianli said in surprise: “What does it mean to pass the auction? Can’t I buy it anymore?”
She asked Tan Muxing to inquire about the news, that she wanted to find the missing little Arcana and put together the Red Crystal Tarot into a whole set.
Tan Muxing shook his head: “No, no one bought it, so I lost it.”
Chu Qianli: “?”
Talking about the dazed appearance of Twilight Star facing her, he euphemistically explained: “Well…how should I describe it? Although you think it is precious as an astrologer, the market price of this kind of art is not high, and most people don’t understand it. I don’t know the value of Taishan…”
Chu Qianli nodded clearly: “I see, my senior astrology is not a celebrity, so the things left behind are not worth enough, not as good as Van Gogh Monet.”
Lyle Gadbury may be a top astrologer, but he still has a gap with the masters. Everyone will copy his astrological data, but they are not interested in collecting the surroundings of his relics (?).
Tan Muxing said gently: “But we want to buy it easily. I think there will be auctions in China in the near future, so you can go to the spot to see it.”
“I don’t know if there is the card you mentioned in it, so I can take a look at it after flying over.”
The auction will be in City G, and Chu Qianli needs to apply for a pass, so he can travel while looking for tarot cards. She has just passed the college entrance examination, and it is normal to go out and stroll, and her parents have no objection to it.
Of course, when someone in the family heard the news, he still had some ideas, and even called Tan Muxing.
Tan Muxing was surprised when he received a call from He Shichen, and after receiving it, he hurriedly greeted him politely and asked why the other party made the call suddenly.
He Shichen said calmly: “I heard that you plan to go to G City to participate in the auction?”
Tan Muxing was taken aback: “Ah, yes, there is indeed this plan…”
“Talking about Twilight Star, are you dissatisfied with me?” He Shichen calmly said, “If you have any opinions, we can take the time to chat another day.”
Tan Muxing was shocked: “Huh? I’m not dissatisfied?”
“Since you are not dissatisfied with me, why take her to the auction? She has already started planning how to buy the auction house.”
“…”
Chu Qianli had never been to an auction, so she was naturally excited, but He Shichen, after listening to her travel plan, now only wants to run away from home after the college entrance examination.
