She carefully circulated her energy through the baby's fragile meridians. After only two small cycles, the power of heaven and earth in his body was completely absorbed by Mu Hanyan.
This power of heaven and earth was different from that of the Holy Court Continent and the Continent of Gods. Mu Hanyan couldn't tell what it was. She only felt that there was a hint of ethereality in it, which seemed to be beneficial to her cultivation of the mind, but it was too weak, so the benefit was not great.
"Okay." Mu Hanyan put away her hand seals and also took back the hand that was holding the baby's hand, and said to Zhang Chihua and his wife.
"That's good." The couple looked at Mu Hanyan in surprise.
The other onlookers were all confused. It was said that an astrologer with advanced skills could not only predict life and death, foretell good and bad luck, but also change fate.
They had seen astrologers perform the art of changing fate before. They all fasted for three days, bathed and burned incense, and then used all their skills, which lasted for three to five days at the least, one to two months at the most, or even longer. In the end, they were exhausted both physically and mentally and their vitality was greatly damaged before they could change someone's fate.
Mu Hanyan only performed a few dozen hand seals, and she was cured? Even if astrology was powerful, it couldn't be this strong, right?
"Okay, if you don't believe it, you can ask Master Ji to calculate it again." Mu Hanyan said with a smile.
Of course, she also knew that it was not easy for an astrologer to change fate, but the problem was that her methods had nothing to do with astrology, and she did not understand those complicated and complex secret techniques of changing fate. If she tried to be mysterious, she would inevitably be exposed as a hypocrite, so she simply simplified it and solved the problem cleanly and neatly.
Everyone's eyes turned to Ji Gaoxian at the same time.
Mu Hanyan said this just to find someone to prove that the child had recovered and was capable of cultivation, instead of being the good-for-nothing that had been previously determined. However, everyone heard this as a challenge to Ji Gaoxian.
Master Ji was in a dilemma. After seeing Mu Hanyan's astrological skills, he could no longer rely on his seniority and reputation to bully him as before. He could only make a hand gesture again and stare at the star disk in front of him.
Soon, several stars on the star disk began to shine, emitting a faint silver light, forming a strange pattern.
Master Ji's eyes narrowed slightly, and he counted with his fingers, apparently making divinations based on the astrological patterns.
Gradually, the corners of Master Ji's mouth twitched slightly, he gritted his teeth, and even his beard trembled slightly.
The people around him looked at him curiously, not knowing what the result of his divination was.
"You... who are you? I have no grudge against you. Why do you want to smash my signboard and ruin my reputation!" Finally, Ji Gaoxian opened his eyes and yelled at Mu Hanyan angrily.
Hearing his roar, everyone was stunned at first, and then came to their senses. What he said was clearly an admission that the other party was right. The child of the Zhang family had indeed recovered as normal and had the talent to practice cultivation. He was no longer the good-for-nothing that had been previously determined. Otherwise, why would he be so angry?
Looking at Mu Hanyan's young face, the onlookers felt both ashamed and admired. They were ashamed because of their previous ridicule towards him, but they admired his astrology skills.
You should know that Ji Gaoxian is a famous master of astronomy in the capital. Even those seniors who have been famous in this field for many years have praised him highly. In the capital, where dragons and tigers are hidden, no one says anything about him when he puts up the signboard of "Yunjing Divination". It can be seen that he has real talents and skills. But such a master of astronomy was defeated miserably in front of this young man and couldn't even deny it. How strong is his astronomy?
"Okay, take the child back quickly, it's cold outside." Mu Hanyan ignored Ji Gaoxian's roar, and ignored the admiration in everyone's eyes, and said to Zhang Huachi and his wife, then turned around and left.
"Stop!" Seeing that he had ruined his reputation and didn't even look at him, showing contempt to him to the extreme, Ji Gaoxian was furious. He was so angry that his whole body was shaking, and he shouted at Mu Hanyan.
It's no wonder that he was so angry. The astrologers in the capital are independent and have some connections with each other. Even if they sometimes compete for fame and fortune, they will not easily ruin others' reputation.
As soon as Mu Hanyan entered the capital, she went to his fortune-telling shop and embarrassed him in public. It was obvious that she was trying to make things difficult for him and she wanted to make sure he had no place to stand in the capital.
"You hate me for ruining your reputation?" Mu Hanyan glanced at Ji Gaoxian coldly, seeing the resentment in his heart, and said lightly, "If you can really see through the secrets of heaven and live up to your reputation as a fortune teller, even if I want to ruin your reputation, can I do it?"
Ji Gaoxian was choked by Mu Hanyan's words and was speechless. His face flushed and blue, but his eyes still showed his dissatisfaction: "See through the secrets of heaven? Not to mention the Holy Court Continent, nor the Anyun Kingdom, just in Yunjing City, there are more than ten famous astrologers. Who dares to say that he can really see through the secrets of heaven? Everyone knows the degree of each person's ability, but no one wants to undermine each other's financial resources. Why does he have the right to pick a fight with me the moment he enters the capital, and even break the rules of astrologers to tarnish his reputation?
"Do you hate me for not following the rules and not making things difficult for other astrologers, but just picking on you? Are you thinking that there are thousands of astrologers, and who can really see through the secrets of heaven? Indeed, even I can't see through the secrets of heaven completely." Having said that, Mu Hanyan broke out in a cold sweat. What was she talking about seeing through the secrets of heaven? In fact, she hadn't even touched the threshold of the secrets of heaven. She just followed Xinghuan Qianji's reminder and made a bunch of hand seals, and then made a mysterious talk about his words, and finally activated the Tianxin Gongfa.
"But, since you know that you are not well-trained, why do you jump to conclusions? Do you know that a word from you can determine the fate of someone else's life, and even a family of three will be doomed because of your words!" Mu Hanyan scolded mercilessly.
This was actually the reason why she couldn't help but speak in the beginning. As long as Ji Gaoxian didn't say so much, as long as he left a glimmer of hope for the other family of three, there would be no need for her to meddle in other people's affairs, and what happened later would not have happened.
But having personally experienced countless cold stares and ridicule, Mu Hanyan knew the pain involved and didn't want to see a newborn child tread the same tortuous path she had. After all, not everyone had her good fortune, and ultimately, she had no choice. Behind the coldness and humiliation, she had the meticulous care of her grandfather and parents. This family of three, however, could never have such good fortune.
Ji Gaoxian's beard trembled as he was lashed out at Mu Hanyan's scolding, yet he couldn't refute her. His words were a bit too confident, but he couldn't blame him entirely. If the previous astrologers hadn't predicted the same thing, he wouldn't have jumped to such a conclusion. To say he wasn't a skilled astrologer was just as flawed, weren't those other astrologers equally unskilled and unwise in their judgments?
