Chapter 1021 (1/2)

At Columbia University Observatory, s.h.i.e.l.e.l.d. agents emptied the entire Observatory and cleaned up about three large conference tables in the room where astronomical telescopes were placed, according to Chen Ang's requirements.

Danny complained, ”you know how much I spent trying to get Columbia University to promise to lend us the Observatory for a day. Please a lot of people... You'd better pray that your astrology works!”

Chen ang glanced at him and said calmly, ”you'd better pray that I don't take this sentence to heart!”

The stick old man was leaning on a crutch, his eyes turned white, and his face looked not young with the unique look of the blind. Although his physical state had shown the old man's unique thin and withered, the muscles that had lost weight still contained abundant strength, and the expression on his face was not good.

”It's hard to imagine that the s.h.i.e.l.l.d. called me to deal with the hand and meeting, just relying on your astrology.”

The stick old man said impolitely to Chen ang. He turned back and said to Danny, ”if you hope that this liar can eliminate black space, I can only say that our cooperation is no longer necessary.”

Danny indicated, ”to tell you the truth, I also doubt it. But this was introduced to me by the former director of s.h.i.e.l.e.l.d... he must still have two brushes.”

”You don't know how terrible the black sky is.” the stick old man was still dissatisfied and urged, ”innocence and hand and society have been enemies for many years. As early as the founding of the shogunate, we were opponents. Today, we can be called old enemies. Our understanding of opponent and society is better than anyone.”

”The same is true of their most powerful weapon, black air.”

The stick old man put down his stick, stared blankly at the front, and sighed faintly: ”The power of the black sky is more powerful than you can imagine. It can let people control life and death... The five fingers of the hand and the meeting live forever by its power. The Ninjas of the hand and the meeting become very powerful by its power. They are not afraid of death and their bodies are transformed into evil spirits. Even after they are eliminated, they can also rely on the power of the black sky to bring them back from hell.”

”Shouhe will rely on the power of heikong and once wreaked havoc on the whole of Japan. This is still because they failed to fully control heikong. If they control heikong and gain its power, you can imagine that you will face an army of ninjas who will not die in the future. They will control the whole world!”

”Such a powerful force... Can't be stopped by astrology like children playing games.”

Chen ang listened to him questioning so much and finally stopped what he was doing. He said curiously, ”I remember that the core of Yin-Yang in Japan is the astronomical calendar. In fact, before Abe Qingming turned yin-yang into witchcraft, yin-yang masters actually inherited the secret arts of Yin-Yang family from the East and were responsible for divining the fate of Japan and formulating the calendar...”

”Astronomy, no matter which civilization's mysticism, is a prominent learning. You, a traditional ninja, don't quickly admire such a high learning, but you still crack down on feudal superstition? In Japanese tradition, people who master astronomy like me have a high status like your crown prince Shengde. You can even be called the leader of Shinto ”And you, a ninja, are just a well-known dog, and your status is not as good as that of a junior warrior. How dare you question the astrology of yin and Yang that priests and monks can master?”

Chen ang shook his head and said, ”the professors of the Department of astronomy of Columbia University are curious to watch. Do you have so many plays as a ninja?”

The old stick man's face turned blue beside him. Although Ninja sounds very powerful, its status in Japan is really low. It is basically equivalent to doing dirty work. Yin and Yang masters can go in and out of the court and mingle with dignitaries. Their status is far more prominent than them. Not to mention that there are a lot of yin and Yang skills in ninja.

However, since the Song Dynasty, astronomy has declined rapidly in both China and Japan. Not only in politics, but also in mystics. Except for a few secret forces, astrology has even lost its mystical significance.

On the one hand, this situation is related to the concentration of imperial power after the Song Dynasty. Although astronomy and astrology is the most profound knowledge in divination and the most important occult science, this knowledge actually impacted the imperial power and was scrutinized by the imperial power because of the unique thought of heaven and man induction in Chinese culture. In the Song Dynasty, there was a law that scholars had to study it without authorization except Si Tianjian Astronomer, the same great evil!

This is true for both China and Japan, as well as Korea and Annan. After all, they belong to the greater Chinese cultural circle and are difficult not to be influenced by China.

On the other hand, it is the decline of astrology in divining fate, that is, the bankruptcy of astrology. The long-term practice of eastern and Western mystics shows that astrology at birth has little impact on people's fate. Astrology can deceive ordinary people, which is no secret to insiders.

On the other hand, the core pillar of astrology, the heroes, loyal officials and good generals who should respond to the stars, was almost completely silent after the bright period of the Han and three kingdoms. There was no one who should respond to the stars since the Ming Dynasty. After Zhu Yuanzhang learned from Liu Ji that he could not respond to the purple and micro stars, astrology was almost completely abandoned.
