Su Mo sat on the sofa, and Zhou Mingrui sat directly opposite him with a small bench.

The upper half of the two leaned forward, each stretched out their right hand against the coffee table, their expressions were solemn, and they were angry-

"One, two, three!"

The two instantaneous bursts of wrist strength and arm strength began to clash, and almost as soon as they were face-to-face, one side was defeated.

Zhou Mingrui withdrew his hand, clenched his fist in front of him and released two handfuls of air, with a touch of surprise in his eyes.

If the failure of the first wrist wrestling can be said to be careless, then the second one that went all out just now showed a real power gap.

"Is this any kind of power technique?"

"Yes, indeed." Su Mo said with a smile, "But the point now is that I won two wins in three games." ”

He was playful, and his ridiculous tone was irrepressibly happy and flamboyant.

"I am willing to lose the bet, come, Xiao Zhou, shout dad to listen~"

Zhou Mingrui was "shocked", I treat you as a brother, you actually want to be my father!

Ahem...... He would never admit that he thought the same way.

Hearing Su Mo in front of him with a good son and a bite of your father, is it tolerable, which is unbearable? Zhou Mingrui couldn't bear it, so he didn't need to ——! anymore Cross it out, continue to endure the humiliation, and swallow the anger.

No way, who told him to lose the bet_(:з"∠)_

It can't go on like this, Zhou Mingrui thought silently, he had to think of a way to divert Su Mo's attention, otherwise, with his unusual interest today, I am afraid that he would not be able to shout all day.

The quickest way to divert a person's attention is to find another thing to do for him.

Zhou Mingrui remembered his bad experience of returning to his hometown this year.

At that time, he accompanied his parents to visit the night market, and met an old Taoist priest who set up a fortune-telling stall, and saw that the battle of the stall was very exquisite, and a dollar and a hexagram were not expensive, so he stepped forward to join in the fun.

As a result, before the hexagram was finished, the old Taoist priest who set up the stall actually squeezed out a few tears, and shouted "Son of Destiny" and "The Spirit of the Tyrant", and he grabbed him, causing a circle of melon-eating people, which made Zhou Mingrui embarrassed, and finally paid for a pair of tarot cards on the stall before getting out.

The devil knows why there are tarot cards on a fortune teller stand...... Zhou Mingrui couldn't help but slander.

Afterwards, he was teased by his parents who were watching the fun at the scene, and his father said in a loud voice, "My son Mingrui has the assets of the emperor", and when he saw that his face was red, he gave up, turned around and muttered to his mother......

"When Mingrui was stunned just now, the kid, did you take pictures?"

"Of course I filmed, oops, since our son grew up, it's rare to see him so shy......"

Zhou Mingrui: Laxatives, where to give bad reviews?

Due to the extremely poor experience of fortune-telling, he didn't treat the tarot cards he bought back very much, although he stuffed his luggage along the way when he reworked, but he didn't even dismantle it and threw it directly into the corner.

Now, Zhou Mingrui recalled, that tarot card should have been placed in the drawer of the desk?

Just play two tarot divination with Su Mo, as a keyboard folklorist, when the time comes, he will interpret it a few times, why worry that Su Mo's attention can't be diverted?

"Su Mo, wait a minute."

Zhou Mingrui dropped a sentence, quickly ran back to the room, opened the drawer of the desk and rummaged through it, and finally found the dusty tarot cards in the bottom drawer.

Tearing off the plastic film packaging on the surface, Zhou Mingrui took out all the tarot cards and went out with a stack of tarot cards.

Returning to the coffee table, he sat down, spread out the tarot cards in his hand, and went straight to the topic excitedly: "Su Mo, let's play tarot divination!" ”

Su Mo was taken aback, and even the gaze in his eyes was clear and calm.

The tarot cards in "The Master of Mystery" are not only a divination tool, the twenty-two main cards correspond to the twenty-two ways of the gods, and the symbolism is strong.

He raised his eyes and looked at Zhou Mingrui in surprise, Zhou Mingrui didn't know why, and smiled at him, his expression was simple and natural.

Su Mo's lips twitched twice.

"Okay." He said.

When chasing his first love in an attempt, Zhou Mingrui studied tarot cards, so after Su Mo agreed, he turned into a soothsayer and asked directly: "What are you going to divination?" ”

Su Mo learned from Zhou Mingrui in the original book and said: "The past, the present, the future." ”

"Yes." Zhou Mingrui nodded, the corners of his mouth turned up, revealing a "professional" smile, "I'll ...... now"

"Wait," Summer interrupted, "I've changed my mind. ”

"Don't go to the past, just the present and the future." He said in a deep voice, "Seventy-eight tarot cards at the same time, using only twenty-two large arcana divination, and, starting with yourself. ”

Zhou Mingrui was stunned, he didn't care about Su Mo's last two conditions, he just ......

He muttered in embarrassment: "Don't go over, is there such a card array in the tarot?" ”

Forget it, playing tarot divination was originally to divert Su Mo's attention, but now that the purpose has been achieved, there is no need to stick to the form.

He picked out twenty-two large Arcana, the so-called main cards, from the tarot cards in his hand, and then pushed the stack of cards in front of Su Mo, saying, "If I divinate first, you will shuffle the cards." ”

"Okay."

Su Mo nodded slightly, reached out and began to shuffle and cut the cards, and then put the shuffled tarot cards on the coffee table.

"I'm going to set the cards?" He asked.

Zhou Mingrui bowed: "Yes." ”

Su Mo took a deep breath, didn't make any pretentious gestures, and simply neatly placed the first and second cards at the top of the tarot cards on Zhou Mingrui's left and right hand sides respectively.

The card on the left: "This is 'Now'." ”

The card on the right: "This is 'Future'." ”

He looked up and asked, "Which one do you want to see first?" ”

Zhou Mingrui also replied dryly: "'Now'." ”

Su Mo directly turned over the tarot card on Zhou Mingrui's left hand.

The main body of the card is a young girl dancing in a laurel wreath with a lion, an eagle, an angel, and a sacred cow in the four corners.

The maiden, holding a wand in each hand, was cheering for the traveler who was reaching the end of the line, and seemed to be a key, as a kind of summoning to guide the traveler to the door of victory, and take the key to happiness in her hand.

No. XXII, The World.

"[The world], upright."

Su Mo whispered the card.

"Let me see how this card is interpreted......"

Zhou Mingrui took out his mobile phone and checked Baidu Encyclopedia.

The original meaning of the World card is "achievement", and it is a card that symbolizes permanent and continuous victory.

"You have reached the front of the Gate of Victory, the Goddess of Victory has asked you to be patient, you will eventually enter the Gate of Victory, and it is only a matter of time.

"The definition of positive position is: success, having a lifelong goal. In the career, because of hard work, it pays off handsomely. Emotionally, a beautiful relationship continues in mutual commitment.

"This card has a great meaning!"

Zhou Mingrui was quite happy, although he was not a divination enthusiast, and he did not really believe in the so-called tarot divination, but it did not prevent him from bringing a good mood that lasted for a day when he saw good divination results.

"Yes, that's good." Su Mo gave him a deep look, lowered his head and opened the second tarot card, "Next is 'Future'." ”

The moment he opened the card, his pupils shrank suddenly.

The plaque representing "Future" depicts a young man dressed in a gorgeous costume, wearing a colorful headdress, carrying a cane on his shoulder, luggage hanging from the cane, and a dog pulling behind him.

Serial number zero, The Fool.

"[Fool]? Tarot's number zero plate, containing all possible beginnings? Coincidentally, the previous [World] happened to be the last card of the tarot card......

"Let me see the definition of the positive [Fool] card, well, it originally meant "travel", and it also played against the [World] card......"

In his ears was Zhou Mingrui's bright and cheerful voice, but Su Mo didn't seem to hear anything.

From World to Fool...... In a way, it's too accurate.

“…… That's a good card, too! But yes, most of the positive tarot cards are good meanings. Zhou Mingrui smiled and said, "It's your turn next, Su Mo." ”

Su Mo was silent for a long time and nodded lightly.

This time by Zhou Mingrui shuffled the cards, I saw that he was skillful in shuffling and cutting cards after putting away the cards, and he couldn't see that the last time he touched the tarot cards was eight years ago.

"I'm going to start playing the cards."

Zhou Mingrui's method of playing cards is the same as Su Mo's before, he draws the first and second cards at the top, but when he picked up the second card, he accidentally slipped his hand and accidentally brought up the third card.

He said sorry and was about to put back the third card scattered on the coffee table, but Su Mo took the first step to hold the card and stop him.

"Since it's an accident in divination, let's make a mistake." Su Mo said calmly, "Maybe an accident is also a kind of providence." ”

Zhou Mingrui: "Well, okay. ”

So Su Mo put a card representing the "present" and two cards representing the "future" in front of him.

"You see first?"

"'Now'."

Zhou Mingrui turned over the first tarot card.

In the bright moonlight, the lobster crawls out of the water and walks towards the Moon Goddess, choosing the right of the two towers in the distance, as that tower is the only way to meet the Moon Goddess.

There was a wolf and a hound on the shore, and because they were also attracted by the goddess of the moon, they did not notice the lobster that was close at hand.

No. 19, The Moon.

"[Moon], orthodox."

Zhou Mingrui jumped from the Baidu Encyclopedia of tarot cards to the entry of the moon in the catalog, and said softly: "The original meaning of the [Moon] card is "uneasy". ”

Su Mo's body stiffened.

Zhou Mingrui didn't notice it, but continued to read:

"It's a card that represents confusion, distress and insecurity, with the dog representing the lobster's dependence on the old world and the wolf representing the lobster's fear.

"The moon is a bridge connecting the spiritual world, the full moon is lost, symbolizing transformation, the bigger the moon means the closer to becoming smaller, and at the same time worrying about the arrival of misfortune while being happy, so it is impossible to produce the slightest slackness.

The definition of the positive position is: restlessness, confusion, deception. In your career, you may not be satisfied, and you want to reach your full inner potential. Emotionally, you are sensitive and afraid of being hurt......"

Zhou Mingrui's voice became lower and lower, and in the end, he could only laugh dryly twice: "Haha, I don't feel that this is accurate." ”

"Hmm."

Su Mo also replied in a low voice.

"Let's take a look at the next one, the next one."

Zhou Mingrui threw aside the unfortunate [Moon] card and actively opened the next card.

The first card representing the "future" -

In the picture is a man with his hands tied behind his back and his ankles tied upside down, with a faint angelic halo on his head.

The man leans in front of the trunk of a tree, and hangs upside down in the shape of a tree, which at first glance resembles an ancient gallows, but when viewed closely, it seems to have the meaning of sacrifice.

The twelfth card of the tarot......

"The Hanged Man."

Zhou Mingrui struggled to pronounce its name, even if he didn't know the realm of tarot cards, he knew what this card meant.

- Self-sacrifice.

Although others thought it was extremely painful, the hanged man was serene, because he knew that he was sacrificing for others, and that even if his body was destroyed, his spirit would live on.

"This card tells us that even the worst of times is a test, and that your career will come to a short halt, but you know why.

"Endure the current misfortune, accept the arrangement of fate, reaffirm your goals, reflect on the past gains and losses, and reserve strength for the future rebirth and re-rise."

Zhou Mingrui looked at Su Mo in surprise, but Su Mo, who smoothly recited the interpretation of the hanged man, just smiled at him and said in a brisk tone: "I think this card is very good, at least compared to the sleepy [Moon], it's much better, isn't it?" ”

Then he opened his last "future" by himself.

On the tablet is a holy priestess, dressed in a white robe for purity and a blue robe for the Virgin, sitting in silence with a book in her hand.

Behind her, a curtain obscured the rearview of the landscape, and a backdrop of water and blue sky was faintly visible. This horizontal stretch is undulating, but beneath its still surface lies a deep secret.

No. 2, The High Priestess, [Priestess].

Zhou Mingrui flipped to the directory of Baidu Encyclopedia [Priestess]:

The original meaning of the [Priestess] card is "wisdom", and the corresponding astrological sign is...... Moon.

"You have developed the mysterious potential within you, which is a sign of a change in the future.

"I have enough information about what is going to happen, and my judgment is very calm and objective. Persistence for a long time, as well as calm thinking, will not easily lower your standards to the outside world. ”

Zhou Mingrui breathed a sigh of relief silently, but his gaze was still a little strange.

The interpretation of this card is not bad, and it can be regarded as the best of Sumer's three cards, but the gender does not seem to be right.

"Finally the divination is over......," he sighed.

Although the cards drawn will make people feel happy with good meanings, they will also make people panic and difficult to ignore.

"Hehe......"

Su Mo laughed again, not the unfamiliar sneer when he pretended to open his eyes, nor was it a shameful laugh that was willing to gamble and lose, his voice at the moment carried a kind of comfort and clarity.

He swept the fifty-six small Arcanas that he had eliminated before in front of him, and then slowly built a tower of cards with tarot cards.

One small triangle after another gradually took shape, and the bottom layer was six triangles, and then subtracted one in turn, and finally built into a small pyramid six stories high.

Su Mo stretched out his hand and flicked the small triangle at the top, and the stable pyramid collapsed.

Through the tarot cards that fell one after another, Zhou Mingrui saw Su Mo raise his head slightly, his dark pupils staring at him without blinking, his expression seemed to be very calm, and there seemed to be a kind of calm madness hidden in it.

——————————————

The [Priestess] card corresponds to the path of the gods: the one who is knowledgeable, and the one who is perfect in sequence 0.

That's right, the way for the protagonist to jump in the later stage is to be a generalist.

The first sequence of the Knowledgeable Pathway, Civilization Enlightener/Dark Light, is arguably my favorite sequence name in Master of Mysteries.

As a result, a sequence with such strong subjective initiative was played by Steam Ji as a monster lying flat and begging to fly.

Angry puppet grin (Führer roars)!

That's why this book was born.

The full title of this book should be "People in Mystery, Beginning the Old Capital, Recasting the Glory of the Liberal Arts".
