Chapter 198 The Hanged Man
What kind of poker game did the European people play in the 16th and 17th centuries? Ji Qiming was completely at a loss. Fortunately, although the production team paid attention to realism, they were not too crazy. After playing for a while, Ji Qiming discovered that they were actually playing Texas Poker.Thanks to Ji Qiming's good hand of cards under the influence of his parents, he did not lose the chain.
After a few rounds of winning and losing, Ji Qiming had brought the topic of the poker table to the tarot cards dropped by Croto.
In fact, this is not too difficult. Everyone already has a lot of desire to discuss the tragedy that happened around them. Coupled with the strange aura of the death card itself, it makes people feel scared and curious about it.As soon as Ji Qiming uttered a topic, someone immediately spoke up, and everyone immediately started discussing it.
"Do you think Crotone was beheaded by the god of death on that card?" Leah, with a round face, held the card and whispered, as if she was afraid that if she said it out loud, it would happen again. It's like summoning the deadly god of death.
"It's just a card." Medea comforted her, "Even if the Tarot has mysterious power, it can only be used for divination at best, and it is impossible to really summon the god of death."
"Not necessarily." Cassandra sneered,
"It is said that every card in the Tarot has a card spirit.
If it was the card spirit of the god of death who took the head of the unlucky Kroto, I am afraid it is not impossible. "
"After all, it's a demon's prop." Leah shuddered and muttered.
Ji Qiming also did some research when going offline.
In ancient Egypt, Tarot was regarded as the wisdom guide to accept the will of the gods.
However, after it was introduced into medieval Europe by the Gypsies, it was considered by the church to be a demon.According to the information obtained by Ji Qiming and Wu Ming during this period of time, in the background of their game, since the king himself has usurped power and won the throne, he is not recognized by the church. The nation develops its power.Therefore, although there are many believers in this country, there has not been a large-scale witch hunt or witchcraft persecution. Tarot and other things classified as black magic by the church are also spread among the people of this country.
So, in this castle,
How many people know the meaning contained in these tarot cards?
"Actually, Tarot is not something evil." The prince suddenly said, holding a teacup leisurely, sipping a sip of tea, and said, "Tarot is divided into major arcana and minor arcana, and now in your hands The playing cards are nothing more than a variation of the Minor Arcana."
He turned out four suits of cards from the poker pile and laid them out one by one,
"Little Arcana has a total of 56 cards, divided into four suits - scepter, holy grail, sword, star. In poker, the scepter becomes black plum,
The Holy Grail is hearts, the sword is spades,
The stars become squares.Tarot has fourteen cards in each suit, including four royal cards, king, queen, knight, and servant. When it evolved into poker, two of the four servant cards were removed, and the remaining two became Became a clown card, so there are only 54 cards in poker. He smiled and turned a few poker cards back and mixed them into the deck, and began to shuffle them smoothly, "The tarot cards that are feared by people have changed their appearance and become people's game props. It is not the cards themselves that have power. It's people's hearts. "
"People's hearts..." Ji Qiming looked thoughtfully at the cards on the table.
With a smile on the corner of the prince's mouth, he put down the empty teacup in his hand, and the butler standing behind him immediately refilled it for him, but it was a pity that only half of the tea in the pot was poured out.
"I'm going to make new tea right now." The butler felt dereliction of duty and whispered.
The prince waved his hand casually and did not blame the housekeeper.
"But what appeared before was not the Minor Arcana,
It's a card in the Major Arcana. " Cassandra insisted,
"It must have something to do with it appearing in that kind of place!"
"If the Tarot itself is not a tool for summoning demons, the person who placed the Death Card next to Crotor is very likely to be the murderer. He may want to use the meaning of the Tarot cards to convey some kind of information...or to scare us." Leah thought.
The prince let out a lazy low laugh, a sharp light flashed in his eyes,
Dao: "Some people regard Tarot cards as a tool for summoning demons,
Some people regard it as a revelation from the heavens. In fact, what the Tarot reflects is just the heart. The meaning expressed by the same card, the wise see the wisdom, the benevolent see the benevolent, and the unruly people can only see the meaning in the card. evil spirits. "
The prince's sharp eyes swept towards Cassandra, and the nervous woman with the name of a magic stick finally died down under the intimidating eyes of the prince. The prince said slowly again: "There are 22 cards in the Major Arcana. The fool, the fool, Magician, Pope, Empress, Emperor, Pope, Lovers, Chariot, Power, Hermit, Wheel of Fortune, Justice, Hanged Man, Grim Reaper, Temperance, Demon, Tower, Stars, Moon, Sun, Judgment, World. These 22 cards each represent different meanings. Tarot itself does not interpret the meaning of the cards with the literal meaning of the cards. Therefore, the god of death with a terrible card name is actually not the scariest one.
It doesn't necessarily mean death,
There is also the meaning of new life. "
"Which one is the scariest card?" asked Medea.
"The tower." The prince withdrew his smile, "It represents the destruction of everything."
As soon as the prince finished speaking, a flash of lightning pierced the sky,
Immediately there was a deafening thunder, and in the roar, there was some kind of broken glass sound. Before Ji Qiming could find the source of the sound, Medea suddenly pointed to the castle opposite the greenhouse and stood there. Get up: "Over there! There seems to be someone on the second floor of the castle!"
The people present turned their heads one after another. It just so happened that another bolt of lightning illuminated the world in the rain. A window on the second floor of the castle facing the greenhouse was shattered. The curtains in the room were blown up by the wind and danced in the air. Outside the window was a person hanging upside down, dangling in the wind and rain.
It was difficult for everyone to see the man's face clearly in the rain and fog.
But judging from the attire, I am afraid that the person who hung upside down is Earl Fenrir.
"The Hanged Man," Cassandra murmured.
Thinking of the card of the Hanged Man in the Major Arcana that the prince just mentioned, everyone turned blue.
"perhaps,
The meaning of the Tarot card is to kill us one by one according to the description of the card..." Leah panicked.
"It's unlikely," Ji Qiming said with a dry smile,
"There are only thirteen of us in all, and twenty-two in the Major Arcana,
The numbers don't match up. "
"But there are some cards that cannot predict killing, such as the stars, the moon, the sun, and the world. Maybe for a murderer, there are only thirteen cards that can commit a crime?" Medea said calmly.
After a few rounds of winning and losing, Ji Qiming had brought the topic of the poker table to the tarot cards dropped by Croto.
In fact, this is not too difficult. Everyone already has a lot of desire to discuss the tragedy that happened around them. Coupled with the strange aura of the death card itself, it makes people feel scared and curious about it.As soon as Ji Qiming uttered a topic, someone immediately spoke up, and everyone immediately started discussing it.
