Starting from a thatched cottage, the farmer embarked on the road to wealth through imperial examina

Ye Changyan's words made Mr. Cai and Liang Jingcheng's newly awakened minds feel like a basin of ice water in the cold winter, pouring from head to toe.

The Ye family members looked at Ye Changyan in surprise. Mr. Cai and Liang Jingcheng also calmed down and wanted to hear who this Mr. Gongshu was.

"Strictly speaking, I have only inherited the mantle of Master Gongshu, but I have never met him, nor have I formally become his disciple."

Ye Changyan's words left everyone at the scene confused. They were all successors, but they had never met each other. This seemed a little strange.

Ye Changyan looked like he was slowly falling into his own thoughts, but in fact, his brain was racing, thinking about how to explain his master's inheritance so as not to appear so abrupt.

Because he felt that Teacher Cai's having two children was a test for him.

The last time Mr. Cai invited him to go to Shengjing, Ye Changyan sensed some hidden meaning in Mr. Cai's words, but under the circumstances at the time, he had to decline the invitation out of filial piety. This would not only increase his favorability in Mr. Cai's mind, but also leave himself some room.

Ye Changyan was very clear about Mr. Cai's identity and status. If he could really become his disciple, what would that mean to him and even the entire Ye family.

Seeing that Ye Changyan was lost in his own thoughts, everyone did not say anything to disturb him. It was a long time before Ye Changyan spoke.

"It may sound a little weird, but I met a crazy old Taoist priest when I came out of the examination room after taking the college entrance examination in the capital. He said I was going to have a blood disaster, so he gave me a black stone and said that if I was destined, the stone could save my life."

As he spoke, Ye Changyan raised his wrist and rolled up his sleeves, and everyone saw a black stone hanging on Ye Changyan's wrist.

"I don't know whether this old Taoist priest got lucky or really has extraordinary abilities. On my way back from the city, I encountered bandits and suffered a bloody disaster."

After hearing this, everyone in the Ye family was still frightened.

"When I was unconscious, an old man who called himself Gongshu appeared in front of me. He said that he and I had a master-disciple relationship and that he wanted to pass on his legacy to me. He also told me to take good care of this black stone. Then, Gongshu disappeared, and all kinds of images flooded into my mind."

Ye Changyan talked nonsense in a serious manner, making himself sound completely convinced.

"I didn't know if it was a dream or it was real, but then I woke up and my body miraculously recovered."

I don’t know whether Mr. Cai and Liang Jingcheng believed what Ye Changyan said, but everyone in the Ye family seemed to believe it without a doubt.

"No wonder, the doctors at Dexin Hall were helpless when they saw you were unconscious, but you miraculously woke up and are more energetic than before. I didn't expect such a wonderful experience."

Ye Xiaozheng's face was filled with excitement. Thinking of his son lying unresponsive on the bed, and then looking at his son in front of him, Ye Xiaozheng wished he could kowtow to this Mr. Gongshu.

Even Mr. Cai, who is well-informed, found it unbelievable to hear such a bizarre and strange thing.

"At first I thought it was too absurd, but what happened later forced me to believe the truth of it all. For example, the skills of cooking and making candy all came from the images that flooded into my mind after Mr. Gongshu disappeared."

Ye Changyan's words shocked everyone.

Everyone in the Ye family suddenly realized that some of the strange changes in Ye Changyan after he woke up made sense.

Mr. Cai and Liang Jingcheng also sighed, no wonder Ye Changyan's cooking skills were like a stroke of genius.

"Then where is Mr. Gongshu now? Our whole family should thank him for saving your life!"

Ye Xiaozheng asked Ye Changyan, and everyone at the scene stared at Ye Changyan.

"This Mr. Gongshu has probably been dead for over a hundred years."

Ye Changyan's words shocked everyone present again.

"Such a godly person, may I know the name of this Mr. Gongshu?"

Everyone fell silent for a long time before Liang Jingcheng asked.

"Sir, you call yourself Gongshu Wuji."

No one at the scene reacted, but Mr. Cai was the only one who was filled with turmoil.

Mr. Cai seemed a little emotional and was lost in his own thoughts for a long time. Suddenly, he spoke.

"No wonder you have such an experience. I have heard a little about this Mr. Gongshu."

Everyone looked at Mr. Cai in surprise. Liang Jingcheng was also a little surprised that the teacher had actually heard of this Mr. Gongshu.

"When I was young, I followed Mr. Wu Daoyuan to study and I once heard him mention Gongshu Wuji. He said that Gongshu Wuji had extraordinary skills. The cement, glass, soap, refined salt, sugar, etc. that we use today are all made by Gongshu Wuji."

Except for Ye Changyan who already knew the reason, everyone at the scene was shocked again. They only listened to Mr. Cai's detailed explanation.

"In the previous dynasty, this Mr. Gongshu once advised the Emperor of the Wu Dynasty that in seven days, there might be an unprecedented earth dragon turning over at the junction of Liangzhou, Hongyang and Fengyang. He asked the Emperor of the Wu Dynasty to immediately issue an edict, ordering the officials of the three states to make preparations in advance and evacuate the people as much as possible."

Everyone was fascinated by Mr. Cai’s words.

"The Emperor of Wu Dynasty believed that Gongshu was misleading the people with his lies, so he ordered him to be thrown into the Heavenly Prison. After seven days, his lies would be exposed and he would be beheaded in public."

Everyone looked nervous, especially Goro, who clenched his hands into fists.

"Just as Mr. Gongshu was being escorted to the execution ground, the Emperor of the Wu Dynasty received a pigeon message. Liangzhou, Hongyang, and Fengyang all sent urgent reports. Yuanshan County, located at the junction of Liangzhou, Hongyang, and Fengyang, suddenly had an earthquake. The force was so fierce that the ground cracked and corpses were everywhere. The area seemed to have fallen into hell on earth."

At this point, Mr. Cai couldn't help but sigh, picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, and then continued.

"The Emperor of Wu Dynasty immediately ordered the execution to be cancelled, and personally went to the execution ground to treat Mr. Gongshu with the highest courtesy in the empire. The Emperor of Wu Dynasty wanted to make Mr. Gongshu the state teacher, but Mr. Gongshu was such a brilliant man that he just waved his hand and left in style."

Everyone couldn't help but sigh that a natural disaster that could have caused heavy casualties was turned into a horrific human tragedy because of a moment's thought.

"What then?"

Seeing that everyone fell into silence, Wu Lang asked curiously. Cai Lao touched Wu Lang's head and said with some regret.

"Later, I heard that this Gongshu Master joined Yujing Palace. At that time, Yujing Palace opened its gates, and the Palace Master and the elders led 3,000 disciples to kneel and greet him. It was an extremely grand scene. But since Gongshu Master entered Yujing Palace, there has been little news about him in the outside world."

“I didn’t expect that there would be such a god-like person.”

The Yujing Palace has stood for a thousand years and now has an extraordinary status in Dasheng. This must have a lot to do with the joining of Mr. Gongshu back then, Liang Jingcheng couldn't help but sigh.
