Chapter 42: Tarot Secrets (3)
The card depicts a warrior hanging upside down with his hands tied behind his back. An angelic aura appeared around his head, and although he maintained a very painful posture, his face was serene. Qin Hong explained that maybe he was making a sacrifice to someone else, and even if the body was destroyed, the spirit would live forever. Chen Ying remembered the Bishop of St. John Nepomuk who died on the Charles Bridge in Prague to keep the Queen's secrets.
"This card symbolizes self-sacrifice. It is reversed. It means 'senseless sacrifice, broken bones, bad luck, not trying hard enough, and escaping love.' A handstand means a lack of vision in your career and a loss of what you are working towards for. Emotionally, you don't have the idea of paying for the other person, and the other person's attitude towards you is still the same, which makes you want to avoid ...... even more.'"
"I want to escape ......," Chen Ying repeated silently.
"Do you really want to leave me?" Qin Hong asked, trying his best to make a pitiful look. Chen Ying hurriedly shook her head.
"The third one is your second choice." After he finished speaking, he turned over the cards, and the cards depicted the goddess of justice sitting on a stone chair dressed in red. In her left hand, she holds a scale to distinguish between good and evil, and in her right hand she holds a sword that symbolizes justice. With these two holy objects, the goddess can understand the ins and outs of things and how they are going, and at the same time teach the world the truth of the cycle of cause and effect. It warns people to be broad-minded and to uphold morality and justice.
"This card is upright. It stands for 'impartiality, neutrality, honesty, open-mindedness, and consistency between the outside and the inside. Honest and honest interaction leads to emotional harmony. There won't be much feeling in the career, just follow the previous plan step by step. In your love life, the other party is accepting of your choices. - Very good card, much better than the one just now. Qin Hong praised, "Do you want to continue to look at the future?" ”
"Okay."
The card at the end of the fork along the side of the hanged man is turned over, and it is the star in the right position. In the drawing on the card, under the light of Sirius, the goddess of hope pours water from a holy water bottle into a pool that symbolizes the subconscious. She seems to understand the human desire for hope, and when one bottle is emptied, it goes to pour another. The card's description reads:
"Though it is night, the stars will show the way; Under the guidance of the stars, there will be a bright future. ”
"What does it mean to be in position?" Chen Ying asked.
"'A bright future, full of hope, imagination, creativity, ideal objects, beautiful romances. It means that when you get the energy of hope in your career, the future will be extremely bright. In terms of relationships, have a lot of faith in yourself and strive to pursue each other - you may well be the destined pair. Qin Hongnian. He looked at the card over and over again and said, "It's amazing, it's a card that holds hope in the depths." ”
"What is the future on the other side?" Without waiting for him to comment further, Chen Ying urged. She watched as he was on the screen, reaching over and flipping through the last one.
This is the most misunderstood of the Tarot's seventy-eight cards. Death rode a white horse in armor, and in the face of his irresistible force, some fell, some accepted the harsh reality, some tried to avoid it, and some struggled desperately to resist. According to the ancient calendar, the thirteenth month is the month of death and rebirth, and this card does not mean the end of everything, but rather heralds the rebirth of Nirvana.
The reversed Grim Reaper, the interpretation is "to hold hope, come back to life, change plans, cut off the love thread, get rid of the slump, and meet the old lover." Trying to have the best of both worlds in their careers and expecting miracles to happen; Emotionally, the other party has changed, and he is still staying in place, and the gap between the two is constantly increasing. ”
Seeing such divination results, Chen Ying'an sat quietly and couldn't say a word. Qin Hong, who was on the other side of the screen, was also stunned. After a while, she sent a smiling expression and shook the window. He was interrupted by the suddenness of the situation and looked up at her. Her long hair was draped over her shoulders, glowing chestnut in the warm winter sun.
"What's wrong?" She asked, observing his still confused look.
"It's fine." He said, as if talking to himself, "I just didn't expect to do this." ”
"It's just a game, so why take it seriously." She reassured him, "Maybe if you count it again, it will be a different result." ”
"That being said, tarot can't do trial and error."
"You believe that prediction?" She was a little surprised.
"I can't talk about believing it, but I just think that this ancient physiognomy has survived for so many years, maybe there is a reason for it."
"What do you think makes sense?"
"Because I don't know which branch you're putting me on, I can't draw conclusions. But I think you're quite pathetic, because no one side is a smooth sailing relationship. No matter what choice you make, you will face pain. ”
"Maybe it's fate, the best is always the hardest to get."
"Or 'what you can't get is the best.'" He said, as if correcting her, "But if you don't finish your life, who knows what's best?" ”
Liang Jing, who was asleep, turned over, and the quilt was wrapped in her and turned over and hugged in her arms, revealing her feet without socks. Chen Ying walked over and picked up the coat next to her to cover her. Looking at Liang Jing, she remembered that on the last night in Oslo, Wang Yi also covered her with his quilt like this. She didn't know when it happened, or if he was in the same mood as she was now.
Liang Jing's mobile phone alarm rang on time, and the dormitory was full of religious chanting music. The similar-sounding words kept repeating, and it soon caught Liang Jing's attention, and she turned off the alarm clock with a frown. She rubbed her eyes and lay down for a while, sat up with her arms propped up, saw Chen Ying and Qin Hong on video, and hurriedly hid outside the camera's collection range.
"It's time for us to send Ye Feng." Chen Ying said to Qin Hong. He nodded over there, left a "stay safe" and went offline. Chen Ying turned around and saw Liang Jing standing in front of the dressing mirror at the door, carefully combing her hair, tidying it up and putting on her hat carefully. Then she wrapped her scarf, stood in front of the mirror and looked at it again and again, and finally changed into Chen Ying's scarf to be satisfied.
"Let's go." Liang Jing said. She looked energetic, and her red hat and white scarf set off her countenance.
"Let's go."
As soon as they walked out of the door, they saw Wang Yi standing in the snow. He said hello with a shallow hand and walked over to join them. They stood at the school gate for a while, and Yuguan walked onto the empty bus, with two girls sitting in row seats and Wang Yi sitting behind them. I don't know how many stops they passed, and they came to the community where Ye Feng lived. Liang Jing didn't say a word along the way. Chen Ying watched her carefully, watching her silently lead them towards a certain high-rise building. There were two or three uncles walking their dogs in the community, looking at the three of them curiously. When he walked downstairs, Liang Jing stopped. She looked back at the other two and said:
"I'm not going up."
"Okay, I'll take him next." Wang Yi volunteered.
"I'll be with you downstairs." Chen Ying said.
Waiting for Wang Yi's figure to disappear at the elevator entrance of the corridor, Liang Jing turned his body to Chen Ying. She stared at her face carefully, as if to see through her. Chen Ying tried her best to pretend that she didn't care. After a while, Liang Jing sighed and spewed out several clouds of cotton-like white mist from above the scarf. She walked aimlessly between the two bare trees, and finally came to Chen Ying.
"Think about it, is there something to hide from me?" Liang Jing asked.
"Nope." Chen Ying shook her head firmly.
Liang Jing just wanted to say something, but at this moment, Wang Yi pushed Ye Feng's suitcase and Ye Feng's parents out of the corridor. The two girls hurried over and helped them carry their things. Wang Yi walked briskly to a nearby street and stopped a taxi. The group dragged things into the trunk of the car.
