Hearing Guan Yueli's words, Gongsun Wuyin's pupils constricted.

An old thing that had been buried deep in his heart for twenty years suddenly came to light.

Twenty-eight years ago, he was expelled from the Gongsun family. Unexpectedly, after losing the halo of "Gongsun", a fortune-telling family, those who once followed and flattered him immediately turned against him.

People no longer trusted him and no one came to him for fortune-telling.

He has always been arrogant and self-proclaimed a genius, so naturally he couldn't stand this kind of gap.

He vowed to create a new world of fortune-telling with his own abilities.

However, the reality was even more cruel than he had imagined, and no one was willing to ask him for fortune-telling.

Even if he took the initiative to humble himself and ask his former customers, those old customers would no longer trust him and would turn to other people in the Gongsun family for help. Even if they could only invite a disciple from a branch of the family, as long as his surname was Gongsun and he was recognized by the Gongsun family, then he would be trusted.

And he, Gongsun Wuyin, was the disgraceful person who was expelled from the family!

He wandered around for several years but ultimately achieved nothing and became extremely depressed.

That year he had a turning point in his life. One of his old customers, Lin Yanzhi, found him and said that he could help him live a life respected by thousands of people again.

Although Gongsun Wuyin didn't quite believe it, he had no choice at the time and chose to cooperate with him.

Lin Yanzhi gave him a talisman and a packet of medicinal powder, and asked him to go to Tianhu Mountain, place the talisman on the highest peak of Tianhu Mountain, and throw the medicinal powder into the well in the village at the foot of the mountain.

Gongsun Wuyin hesitated. He asked, "What are these medicinal powders? What is the function of this talisman?"

Lin Yanzhi smiled slightly and said, "The powder will only cause those villagers a little pain. Don't worry, there is an antidote. After that, you will appear in front of those villagers as the savior and save them all. Wouldn't they worship you as a god?"

Gongsun Wuyin held the medicine powder and listened to Lin Yanzhi's smiling words. The hesitation in his eyes gradually disappeared, replaced by fanaticism.

He still had a shred of rationality: "If there really is an antidote, and all those people die, I'll be guilty of harming lives, and my fortune-telling skills will be ruined."

Lin Yanzhi took out another packet of medicine powder and handed it to him, saying, "Why would I lie to you? Killing lives does me no good. I am also a believer in Taoism, so I naturally wouldn't do anything to harm innocent people."

Gongsun Wuyin's doubts were slightly relieved.

He held up the talisman again and asked, "What about this?"

Lin Yanzhi smiled. He pinched the talisman with his fingers and said, "This is a good thing. Have you heard of luck? This thing can gather luck and strengthen yourself. Tianhu Mountain is a sacred mountain. If you put it at the highest point, it can transfer the luck of the heaven, earth and plants to yourself. Then, your luck will be strengthened. Do you still worry that your fortune-telling skills will not be strong?"

Luck? This tiny piece of talisman can actually transfer luck!

The theory of destiny is very mysterious, and he has only heard of it.

Gongsun Wuyin no longer hesitated and quickly set off for Tianhu Mountain. He climbed to the highest peak and placed the talisman paper under a hidden rock cave.

Then throw the powder into the well at night.

The villagers living at the foot of Tianhu Mountain are relatively simple and honest. The water quality here is excellent. The water in this well comes from the sweet spring on the mountain, and every household likes to draw well water to drink.

Gongsun Wuyin settled down not far from the village and kept an eye on what was happening in the village.

Within three days, people in the village started coughing and having fever.

At first, everyone thought it was just a common cold, but gradually, more and more people in the village fell ill, and the condition became more and more severe. Not only did they have coughs and fevers, but more and more people began to vomit and faint.

In about a week, everyone in the village fell ill and the whole village fell into panic.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Gongsun Wuyin also threw the antidote into the well under the cover of night.

The next day, Gongsun Wuyin appeared in the village with a whisk in his hand and wearing a Taoist robe, looking like an immortal.

He read the fortune for everyone and sighed, "Tianhu Mountain is a sacred mountain. You live at the foot of the mountain and are protected by the mountain spirit. However, you have disrespected the mountain spirit, and therefore, the mountain spirit has punished you by wiping out the entire village."

After hearing Gongsun Wuyin's words, some villagers panicked, while others sneered.

Not everyone believes in gods and ghosts.

Gongsun Wuyin did not blame those who contradicted him. Instead, he looked compassionate and said, "It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not. Since God has allowed me to pass through Tianhu Mountain and encounter this disaster, it means we are destined to meet. I will do my best to help you eliminate this disaster and solve your problems."

He set up an array and an altar and performed a ritual for the entire village.

Then he drew a bucket of water from the well, chanted some incantations to the water, and then sprinkled incense ash and talisman scraps into the water.

He distributed a bowl to each person and said, "I have lifted the bad luck for everyone. Now, drink this bowl of magic water, and all the disasters will pass."

Seeing that people were a little hesitant, he took the initiative to pick up a bowl of water and drank it in one breath.

Then he warned: "Remember, the more sincere your heart is, the faster the results will be!"

Seeing that he dared to drink the water, someone took the initiative to take the lead. Zhao Shu held someone's arm and walked over tremblingly, saying, "My condition is serious. I have had a high fever for several days, and the doctors have been unable to cure me."

"I've been feeling increasingly restless these past two days. I feel like I'm dying soon. There's nothing I can do. Instead of waiting to die, I might as well give it a try. I'll drink this and give it a try!"

After saying that, he drank a bowl of water in one breath.

Seeing this, others also took the water and drank it, especially those who were seriously ill and about to die!

Everyone gathered at the small open space in the village, and anyone who drank the water became the focus of everyone's attention.

Everyone was waiting anxiously.

Maybe he is waiting for a miracle to happen.

Time seemed to be getting longer by the minute, but then a miracle really happened!

About half an hour later, everyone who drank the talisman water seemed to be cured suddenly.

They were filled with strength again, and all their illnesses disappeared.

Zhao Shu was the first person to drink the talisman water, and he saw the effect the fastest!

Now, he felt relaxed and full of strength, without any discomfort.

He touched his forehead in surprise, and his body temperature returned to normal!

Not long after, other people who drank the talisman water also recovered, and everyone cheered.

Zhao Shu excitedly said, "Brothers, I'm fine! This magic water is really a life-saving water!"

After saying this, he turned towards Gongsun Wuyin and bowed reverently, choking up with sobs. "Master Gongsun, thank you! Thank you for showing up, thank you for saving us."

Gongsun Wuyin stroked his beard and said kindly, "I told you before, we are destined to meet!"
