Chapter 14 Astrology

At the Columbia University Observatory, the agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. emptied the entire observatory. In the room where the astronomical telescope was placed, according to Chen Ang's request, they cleaned up a space about the size of three large conference tables. . update the fastest

Danny complained: "You know how much I have spent trying to get Columbia University to agree to lend us the observatory for a day. I have asked a lot of people... You better pray, your astrology will work!"

Chen Ang glanced at him, and calmly said: "You better pray that I don't take this sentence to heart!"

The old man was leaning on crutches, with the whites of his eyes rolled up. His face had the unique look of a blind man, and he looked no longer young. Although his physical condition had already shown the dryness and withering characteristic of an old man, the muscles that had been emaciated still contained plenty of energy. The strength, the expression on his face is not good.

"It's hard to imagine that S.H.I.E.L.D. called me over to deal with the hand and society, relying on your astrology."

Stick said to Chen Ang unceremoniously, and he turned back to Danny and said, "If you hope that this liar can destroy Hei Kong, I can only say that our cooperation is no longer necessary."

Danny gestured: "To be honest, I also have doubts. But this was introduced to me by the former director of S.H.I.E.L.D.... I think he still has two brushes."

"The horror of the black sky, you don't know at all." The old man was still a little dissatisfied, and urged: "The Chunzhen Society and the Hand He Society have been enemies for many years. As early as the founding of the Shogunate, we were opponents. Today, we can be called It is an old enemy. Our opponents and associations understand more than anyone else."

"The same goes for their most powerful weapon, the Black Sky."

The stick man put down his cane, stared blankly at the front, and sighed faintly: "The power of the black sky is beyond imagination. It can control life and death... the five fingers of the hand and club rely on its power to live forever. , the ninjas of the hand and society, relying on its power, become very powerful. They are not afraid of death, and their bodies change to the state of evil spirits. Even after they are eliminated, they can rely on the power of the black sky to bring them out of hell Bring it back."

"Shouhehui relied on the power of the black sky, and once ravaged the entire Japan. This is because they failed to completely control the black sky. If you let them control the black sky and gain its power, then you can imagine that you will face it in the future. Yes, there will be an army of ninjas who will not die, and they will control the whole world!"

"Such a powerful force... cannot be stopped by astrology like children playing games."

After listening to him questioning so much, Chen Ang finally stopped what he was doing, and said curiously: "I remember that the core of Yin-Yang Art, which is very important in Japan, is astronomy and calendar. In fact, before Abe Seimei turned Yin-Yang Art into witchcraft, Yin-Yang Art In fact, the masters have inherited the secret arts from the Onmyo family in the East, and are responsible for divination of the fortunes of Dongying and the formulation of calendars..."

"Astronomy, no matter in which civilization's mysticism, it is a prominent knowledge. You, a traditional ninja, saw such a high level of knowledge, and if you didn't hurry to worship, you actually attacked the feudal superstition? In the Japanese tradition, such as People like me who master astronomy have lofty status like you, Prince Shotoku. You can even be called the leader of Shintoism. But you, a ninja, are just a dog raised by a daimyo, and your status is not as low as a subordinate Warrior. How dare you question the Onmyoji astrology that only priests and monks can master?"

Chen Ang shook his head and said: "The professors of the astronomy department at Columbia University are all curious, why do you have so much drama as a ninja?"

The stick man beside him turned blue with anger,

Although ninjas sound powerful, their status in Dongpu is indeed very low, basically equivalent to doing dirty work, while onmyojis can enter and leave the court, mix among high-ranking officials, and their status is far more prominent than them. Not to mention that among ninjutsu, there is also a large amount of yin and yang art infiltrated.

But since the Song Dynasty, whether in China or Japan, astronomy has declined rapidly. Not only has it gradually become symbolic in politics, but it has also declined in mysticism. With the exception of a very small number of hidden forces, astrology and astronomy have even lost their mystical significance.

This situation, on the one hand, is related to the centralization of imperial power after the Song Dynasty. Although astronomy and astrology are the most profound knowledge in divination, and also the highest-ranking mystical science, this knowledge is due to the unique oriental idea of ​​the unity of man and nature. In fact, it impacted the imperial power and was scrupled by the imperial power. In the Song Dynasty, there was even a law stipulating that, except for the Sitianjian, scholars who studied astronomy without authorization would be rebellious!

This is true whether it is China or Dongying, or even Koryo and Annan. After all, they belong to the Greater China cultural circle, and it is difficult not to be influenced by China.

On the other hand, there is astrological astronomy, the decline in fortune-telling. That is, the bankruptcy of astrology. The long-term practice of Eastern and Western mysticism has shown that the astronomical astrology at the time of birth basically has no effect on a person's fate. It is not a secret that astrology can deceive ordinary people. For experts, this is no longer a secret.

On the other hand, the core pillar of the study of astrology, the loyal ministers and generals of the astrology, almost completely fell silent after the glorious period of the Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms. Since the Ming Dynasty, there has been no one who has a celestial destiny. Knowing that he failed to apply for Ziwei Tianxing, the study of astrology was almost completely abandoned.

If it weren't for this, Gunsou wouldn't have scoffed at Chen Ang when he heard that Chen Ang was going to use astrology to find clues to control the black sky.

While speaking, Chen Ang had already arranged a round table under the telescope. It was composed of many movable mechanical structures. It was divided into many layers from the inside to the outside. Many movable objects were engraved with astrological symbols and celestial branches. A huge compass made of small copper blocks.

Facing this complicated compass, the transparency of the atmosphere began to reach the best observation level. Above the observatory, the clear air refracted the starlight hundreds of millions of light years away to the surface of the earth. Chen Ang began to observe with the naked eye.

After confirming the current star map of the northern hemisphere, Chen Ang began to take out the abnormal death and missing population files provided by SHIELD, and explained: "Modern astrology usually uses the twelve signs of the zodiac as the basis for divination...but This is completely wrong and unprofessional. In any ancient astrology, the first and most important astrology is always the nine planets in the solar system... now it is the eight!"

"In the ancient astrology system, India and China both belong to the twenty-eight mansions, Europe originated from Mesopotamia, and occasionally referred to ancient Egyptian astrology, but all these civilizations are the first step in astrology, that is, modern astrology The astrolabe of art, the Chinese cultural circle has become the palace of life, a chart showing the various innate and acquired influences of the energy of different positions on the living body..."

"The first ring must be the nine planets, or the Nine Luminaries in my familiar concept."

Chen Ang suddenly raised his head and sneered: "The so-called astral energy is also a concept invented by modern astrology. It is a superstition's tribute to science."

"The reason will be discussed later. Now let me calculate the nine obsidian positions of these people when they were born and died."

Chen Ang glanced at the list of dead and missing persons, and then quickly selected a name: "This...Erica, female Caucasian, 24 years old, born on April 23, 1988, died in 2012 On July 6, the forensic medical examiner deduced the time of death to be around 3:20 p.m.

"These two times, the positions of the nine planets in the solar system...of course cannot be the same!"

"However, including the tidal force of the moon, the five stars of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, and the relative positions of the sun and the moon, the zodiac signs are surprisingly similar in astrology. According to the analysis of Chinese Feng Shui habits, that is, the rule of nine palaces and one-day travel, and the eight gates of the sky. , the four gates of year, month, day, and time in Qimen Dunjia match each other..."

Chen Ang's hands began to slide the copper block quickly in the compass, and the complicated nine planets with stems and earthly branches began to rotate with a complex mechanical movement comparable to that of a difference machine. Chen Ang casually calculated the nine planets and the sun on the draft paper next to him The running track and relative position, a series of complicated formulas, Danny and the old man next to him look pale.

Gunsou seemed to feel a contemptuous look in his eyes, just like when he was a young ninja, when he occasionally passed by the patriarch's distinguished guest, the onmyoji, the look he glanced back, as if he was blind and drooping. When you are old, when you walk on campus and smell the breath of learning, the eyes projected from around you.

Just when Gun Sou was under tremendous pressure, Chen Ang finally put down his pen and said: "This girl's death was not an accident, she was sacrificed!"

Danny took Erica's file, read it carefully, looked up and said: "But after investigation, she died accidentally! In the file, there are not many people who died a hundred times more strange than her death, why are you so sure, her The death is related to the conspiracy of the Hand and the Society."

"Because of the timing of the eight gates, I rotate Qimen Dunjia according to the time and place of her death. The ninth house of the sky has nine stars, the eighth house of the middle board has eight gates, and the eighth house of the earth represents eight directions. On the plate site, each palace is assigned a specific odd (B, C, D) instrument (E, Ji, Geng, Xin, Ren, Gui Liuyi). In this way, according to the specific time, the Liuyi, Sanqi, Eight doors, nine stars arrangement."

"Qimen Dunjia, the most important thing is time sequence, followed by geography. According to the different time and place, three sets are arranged in each row. It turns out that her death time and birth date correspond to each other."

"With her fate, death at the corresponding time must be a sacrifice."

"This person's fate is mediocre, and the four pillars are not a miracle. It is absolutely difficult for ordinary people to use them for sacrifice. To be able to use this kind of ordinary birth date four pillars to sacrifice, either the host is a master of mysticism, or Just use a lot of manpower and material resources to try and make mistakes!")
