When Ji Han and his men traveled to the Three Kingdoms crew

Chapter 722: Why would a good prophet get involved in political affairs?

"Father, what are you doing? Please get up quickly. I was just teasing you!"

Zhou Qun's face froze, and he quickly reached out to help Zhou Shu up.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Shu shook off Zhou Qun's hand and said seriously, "The wise one is the teacher."

Zhou Qun sighed and had to accept Zhou Shu's gift of discipleship.

In the following days, Zhou Qun wrote down everything Xinghan saw, thought, and felt on paper.

One day, an unexpected guest came to the house.

"Zhongzhi, I missed you so much after not seeing you for so long!"

The visitor was wearing a robe, had a tall stature, strong facial features, and the most eye-catching thing was the thick beard on his face.

"Nanhe."

Nanhe, whose surname is Zhang and given name is Yu, and whose courtesy name is Nanhe. Zhang Yu, like him, became famous at a young age and was a famous fortune teller in the local area. He was proficient in using celestial phenomena to relate to human affairs and could predict good and bad luck. His talent and knowledge far surpassed his.

only.
Zhou Qun looked at Zhang Yu in surprise. Why did Nanhe come to visit him in person?
While waiting for the telescope in the theater, Zhou Qun once asked Zhen De about Zhang Yu's fate. If you don't ask, you won't know. If you ask, you will be shocked. After the Battle of Hanzhong, Zhang Yu privately told others about his prediction, saying that the lord would lose Yizhou in nine years.

Zhou Qun's scalp tingled when he heard this. Isn't saying such things a curse on the lord?

The result is predictable, and it eventually ended up being abandoned.

This is the consequence of blindly using the art of speculation and prophecy. The art of speculation and prophecy can really do great harm to people!
Zhou Qun made up his mind that as soon as he returned to the Han Dynasty, he would persuade Zhang Yu not to delve further into the art of speculation and prophecy. Isn't studying astrology much more interesting than this?
So Zhou Qun locked himself in his room for a while, and refused to see anyone. He would go find Zhang Yu after he finished copying down his thoughts and feelings about Xinghan. With these manuscripts, he was confident that he could convince Zhang Yu.

Who knew that before I finished copying, Zhang Yu came to my door.

Zhou Qun glanced down at the manuscript and thought: Half is enough. Now that I'm here, I might as well save myself a wasted trip.

"Nanhe, what are you here for?"

Zhang Yu smiled slightly, "I looked up at the sky last night and saw the handle of the Big Dipper pointing east, with purple air lingering in the sky. I calculated the Six Ren with my fingers and was surprised to find that Wenchang was shining on your body, with auspicious clouds circling your head three times. I am not talented, but I followed the instructions of the heavens and came to visit you on the moon, hoping to learn from Brother Zhongzhi the secret of this blessing."

Wenchang Star is one of the Eight Auspicious Stars. This star represents literature and is in charge of the reputation of academic achievements. People with Wenchang Star in their destiny are often very talented in literature and art and have the demeanor of a writer.

Zhou Qun thought to himself: Nanhe talked about mysterious things, such as celestial phenomena, the handle of the dipper, Wenchang shining brightly, and auspicious clouds circling the top of the head. In the final analysis, he thought I was lucky and found some ancient books or made some new research, so he came to find out.

As for how Zhang Yu discovered it.
Zhou Qun could figure it out with his heels that it must be his father who went out to show off.

"Haha, Brother Nanhe, to be honest, I really did gain knowledge from the immortal."

"Oh?" Zhang Yu raised his eyebrows, and couldn't help but feel a strong suspicion towards Zhou Qun's words. Taught by an immortal? He was not bragging, in terms of talent and aptitude, neither Zhou Qun was his match! If the immortal had given him a dream, it should have been given to him, why would it be given to Zhou Qun who hated family learning? !

It must be Zhou Zhongzhi who discovered the ancient books at home. Yes, it must be so, it must be so!
Zhou Qun glanced at Zhang Yu's face calmly, and saw that Zhang Yu was pretending to be calm. He said playfully, "Brother Nanhe, do you want to calculate whether what I said is true or false?"

"Brother Zhongzhi, you must be joking. Why would I doubt you, Brother Zhongzhi?"

This is a lie. The moment Zhou Qun said that it was taught by an immortal, Zhang Yu had an urge to count with his fingers. But he still held back. What if the result of the calculation was that Zhou Qun was not lying? Wouldn't it mean that he was not as good as Zhou Qun who hated family learning? !
"Haha, Brother Nanhe, I was just joking with you. Don't be offended, don't be offended, Brother Nanhe, please read this manuscript." Zhou Qun picked up the manuscript and handed it to Zhang Yu. Zhang Yu said "No problem, no problem", but his attention was completely attracted by Zhou Qun's manuscript.

He looked at Zhou Qun's manuscript, and the more he read, the more frightened he became. All kinds of astrological knowledge that he had never heard of or seen before impacted his eyes, making his pupils tremble and his heart beat fast. He howled in his heart, no, no, it's impossible, this is definitely not an ancient book! These words, these words are Zhong Zhi's tone! The description is so detailed, it's like... it's like seeing the stars with your own eyes!
Could it be that Zhong Zhi really had a dream from an immortal? !
Zhang Yu tightly grasped the manuscript, his face turned pale. Impossible! Absolutely impossible! Why is it Zhou Zhongzhi? Why is it Zhou Zhongzhi? !

Zhou Qun put away his relaxed expression and looked at Zhang Yu with eyes full of pity.

This was undoubtedly the last straw that broke the camel's back. Anger, unwillingness, and excitement rushed straight to Zhang Yu's head. Pity? Why, why should you, an uneducated guy, pity me? !

There must be loopholes in your manuscript, there must be!
Zhang Yu lowered his head with bloodshot eyes, scanning the manuscript line by line. When he found a blurred paragraph, joy suddenly surged in his heart.

Yes, it's here!

Zhang Yu opened his mouth and words of doubt were about to come out.

However, Zhou Qun was even faster than him.

"Brother Nanhe, do you know how high the sky is?"

"Do you know how wide the land is?"

Zhang Yu's stubborn temper suddenly came up. He refused to admit defeat and thought, I know, I definitely know! When he looked up, he saw Zhou Qun's calm eyes and even his tone was so calm, without any aggressiveness.

"Do you know how many stars there are in the sky?"

"Do you know how vast the universe is?"

"Do you know?!" Zhang Yu said angrily.

"There are about 20 billion galaxies, each containing billions of stars and planets. We are just a drop in the ocean."

"Why are you telling me this?"

"Brother Nanhe, I know you are talented and gifted, a rare genius. I am ashamed of myself. There is no shortage of geniuses in fortune-telling in the world. It is a pity that Brother Nanhe stops here. I would like to give my observation data and methods to Brother Nanhe, and I would also like to provide Brother Nanhe with the instruments I will develop in the future. Isn't it more attractive to observe the countless stars in the universe than to observe celestial phenomena and predict good and bad luck? The universe is vast and I cannot handle it alone. If Brother Nanhe helps, everything is possible. I hope Brother Nanhe can lend me a helping hand!"

Zhou Qun was speaking from the heart. After reading Zhang Yu's life story, he felt that Zhang Yu was not suitable for politics. If he wanted to be an official in the future, his divination skills would definitely harm him. It would be better to let Zhang Yu stay away from officialdom and study astronomy.

Zhang Yu was stunned, and he himself didn't know when the anger in his heart subsided. He could hear that Zhou Qun was speaking from the heart. Yes, the universe is vast, and even if one is talented, it is not possible to observe it overnight. It was because he was too obsessed with the immortal's dream.
Zhongzhi has such a broad mind. I am not as broad-minded as Zhongzhi.

I am convinced. This time Zhang Yu is convinced from the bottom of his heart.

Zhang Yu bowed to Zhou Qun and said, "I'll be grateful for your help in the future."

Zhou Qun helped Zhang Yu up and said, "Let's encourage each other."

The two looked at each other and laughed.
