"What?" Mu Hanyan was slightly stunned and asked in her heart.
Xinghuan Qianji recited the incantation of Tianxin Gongfa, but the order was completely disrupted. If he practiced the Gongfa in this way, it would be strange if he didn't go astray.
"Hand seal." Xinghuan Qianji said briefly.
Mu Hanyan immediately came back to his senses. He was talking about the hand gestures corresponding to the Tianxin technique, not about practicing the technique in this order.
Mu Hanyan never doubted Xinghuan Qianji's words, and immediately performed the corresponding hand gestures according to the oral formula of the martial arts he said.
As she cast one spell after another, Mu Hanyan was surprised to find that the energy in her body began to flow uncontrollably. However, it was neither the steady flow during cultivation nor the surging force during an explosion. The energy was ethereal and flowing, and even the power of heaven and earth outside her body was affected by it, rippling gently like the surface of a lake blown by a breeze.
Her mind seemed to have been washed by a pure spring, becoming clear and focused.
Mu Hanyan was surprised to find that the Tianxin technique could be used in this way.
"Ding" At this moment, an astronomical compass hanging in front made a crisp sound, and the stars on it twinkled, emitting a mysterious halo.
"What's going on!" Mu Hanyan looked at the astrological compass and asked in surprise in her heart.
"Astrology, he is an astrologer!" Xinghuan Qianji did not say anything, but the crowd gave the answer.
"No wonder he dares to point fingers at Master Ji. It turns out he is also an astrologer."
"Could it be that they are here on purpose to ruin Master Ji's reputation?" A low murmur was heard from the crowd, and their eyes looking at Mu Hanyan were full of curiosity.
"Is this the Star Divination Hand Seal?" Mu Hanyan finally understood what was going on and asked Xing Huan Qianji.
Hearing the discussions of the crowd, she suddenly remembered that some wealthy astrologers, when performing extremely important divination techniques, not only had to bathe and fast in advance, but also had to use an astrological compass.
While this type of astronomical compass may appear similar to those used for orientation, it actually possesses a unique secret. Both are crafted by highly skilled alchemists from finest meteorite, known as a Star Prediction Disk. Astrologers are divided into different schools, each specializing in their own unique strengths and weaknesses. The constellations inscribed on each disk also differ, as do their methods of use.
The Star Disc is difficult to refine and is extremely valuable. Every use will cause varying degrees of damage, or even direct destruction. Therefore, even astrologers with wealthy families are reluctant to use it easily. As for astrologers like Qu Shanling, although he has gained considerable fame, he cannot produce a decent Star Disc.
Perhaps he also had one or two scrapped Star Discs on him to deceive outsiders, but he was embarrassed to act mysterious in front of Mu Hanyan, so Mu Hanyan had never seen him use them. After hearing the exclamations of the onlookers, she suddenly realized that this hand gesture activated the Star Disc, which was undoubtedly the hand gesture of astrology.
"What's this astrological hand gesture? It's nothing but rumors spread by ordinary people." Xinghuan Qianji said disdainfully.
"If it's not the Star Divination Hand Seal, then what is it?" Mu Hanyan asked curiously.
"I'll tell you later. You'd better get through this hurdle first. I don't want to be drowned in spit with you. It's too embarrassing." Xinghuan Qianji said.
No wonder he was so proactive this time. It turned out that he didn't want to be embarrassed along with Mu Hanyan.
This guy is quite vain, Mu Hanyan thought with amusement.
But to be honest, she didn't want to run away in such a disgrace. She had never lost face like this in her life.
"Then what should we do next?" Mu Hanyan asked.
Although one can use hand gestures to activate the Star Disc to impersonate an astrologer, the most important thing for an astrologer is qualifications and reputation. Even the middle-aged charlatan Qu Shanling has to dye his hair white and squeeze out wrinkles on his face to pretend to be an old charlatan. How can Mu Hanyan compare with Ji Gaoxian?
"Hmph, so what if he's an astrologer? He looks no more than sixteen or seventeen years old. How much real talent can he have? He actually dares to come and destroy Master Ji's reputation and humiliate himself!" Sure enough, just as Mu Hanyan thought, after a brief surprise, someone looked at her smooth chin and said with a sneer.
"I think most of them want to use Master Ji's name to become famous. Young people nowadays are unwilling to practice diligently and just want to take shortcuts." Some people also said with regret.
"Then he has a wrong idea. If he were somewhere else, he might be able to make a name for himself with this skill. Unfortunately, in the capital, where there are many hidden dragons and crouching tigers, it is a foolish dream to rely on his cleverness to get to the top!" Someone else spitted and said with disdain.
Hearing the sneers and ridicule from all around, Mu Hanyan blushed slightly. If she truly were an astrologer, it would be fine. They'd fight, who's afraid of who? But family matters matter. She knew nothing about astrology, and she'd learned the Star Illusion Thousand Machine Art only to aid her training. Although she activated the Star Illusion Thousand Machine Art's guidance, the stars kept flickering, and she had no idea what they meant.
"Don't think too much about anything, just perform the moves as I say." Xinghuan Qianji said.
After hearing what he said, Mu Hanyan felt relieved and performed the hand seal calmly.
"What is he still doing?" someone in the crowd asked in confusion.
"Who knows? Maybe he wants to show off his astrology skills again." Someone said disdainfully.
"Haha, what's there to show off about this? Do you really think we are country bumpkins who have never seen the world? This kind of astrology may fool people in a small place, but it's not worth mentioning in the capital." Another person sneered.
Perhaps out of a shared hatred for the enemy, unwilling to let a bumpkin from outside the city steal the spotlight from the capital's divine fortune teller, or perhaps to curry favor with Ji Gaoxian, the crowd rushed to mock Mu Hanyan. However, no one noticed that Ji Gaoxian himself remained silent, observing Mu Hanyan's hand gestures with a solemn expression, a hint of panic in his eyes. What kind of astrological divination was this? He had never seen or even heard of it.
