Zhu Muzhao learned the Great Insight Spell at the age of fifteen. After that, it took him another five years to reach the state where he could hear and see in all directions. By the time he was thirty-five, the Great Insight Spell had become his instinct. With a thought, he could see through the illusion in front of him. In terms of proficiency, even his father, the previous Great Teacher Zhu Chang, was not as good as him.
There were only two kinds of people in the world who could lie in front of him. One was the people who wore the Seven Star Sons, such as the emperor and Yun Hua. The other was the mute who could not speak at all.
As the saying goes, the master leads the way, and the practice is up to the individual. Zhu Muzhao spent three days teaching Yu Shu the Sixty Nayin Method, and another three days explaining the incantation to her. Finally, he spent three days teaching her the tricks to nourish her eyes and train her ears. In total, he forced the Great Insight Spell into her brain like a force-feeding a duck.
Yu Shu only thought that he was pulling the shoots to help them grow. She did not notice the hidden urgency in Zhu Muzhao's every move. Fortunately, the Great Insight Spell was not like the Six Line Mystical Spell. It did not have strict requirements on the aptitude and comprehension of the practitioner. As long as she learned it, she could use it. She believed that she lacked talent, so she had to rely on hard work. Therefore, she had been studying very seriously these days. She had to memorize everything that Zhu Muzhao taught her that day even if she had to stay up all night. The next day, when he tested her, she had to answer every question even if she couldn't answer fluently.
Zhu Muzhao did not say it, but he was secretly surprised that she could barely keep up with his progress. Not to say that she understood everything immediately, but she could be said to be clever. Often, when he taught her something, she could draw inferences about other things the next day. It was really beyond his expectations.
On the last day, he had nothing to teach her, so he took her to the top floor of Taixi Tower, a place she had never set foot in before.
This was a secluded mourning hall. There were a few plates of fresh fruits and pastries on the offering table. The surroundings were spotless. Yu Shu saw many tablets placed neatly on the table. She silently counted them. There were a total of nine tablets. She saw that the leftmost tablet was blank, and the rightmost tablet was engraved with the words "The Ninth Celestial Commissioner Zhu Chang's Deity Tablet". She knew that these tablets were dedicated to the previous generations of Celestial Commissioners.
Zhu Muzhao lit the candles on both sides of the sacrificial table, took out three sticks of incense and lit them. Then he signaled Yu Shu to take two steps back. He knelt down on the cattail hassock, raised the incense to his forehead and said in a deep voice:
"The Tenth Celestial Commissioner Zhu Muzhao apologizes to the ancestors. I have been in office for fifteen years, but I have not been able to find the Book of Mystery Maiden Liu Ren, nor have I been able to make the Tai Bone. I have failed in my duty. Even if I die, I will not be able to absolve myself of the blame. In the future, I will accept my punishment in the underworld."
After that, he raised the incense and kowtowed three times. He then got up and put the incense into the incense burner. He took out three more sticks of incense and handed them to Yu Shu. He said solemnly: "I have taught you everything that should be taught. From today onwards, I appoint you as the Eleventh Celestial Commissioner. Now kneel down and make a vow in front of the ancestral tablets. You must carry forward the Celestial Commissioner and find the Book of Mystery Maiden Liu Ren. Vow to live and die with the Celestial Commissioner. If you violate the vow, in your next life, you must be a cow or a horse and suffer the pain of an animal. "
Yu Shu's eyebrows were burning, but she took the three sticks of incense without batting an eyelid. She lifted the hem of her robe and knelt in front of the ancestral tablets. She imitated what he did just now. She raised the incense above her forehead and said in a deep voice: "The Eleventh Celestial Commissioner Commissioner, Yu Shu, pays her respect to the ancestors. Today, I swear that as long as I am alive, I will find the Book of Mystery Maiden Liu Ren and carry forward the Celestial Commissioner. I vow to live and die with the Celestial Commissioner. If I violate the vow, I will not be a human in my next life. I will be a cow or a horse and suffer the pain of an animal."
Then she kowtowed and offered the incense. Zhu Muzhao's eyes were filled with gratification. He could tell that her words came from the bottom of her heart.
"Alright, you must make another vow to me. You must not teach the Zhu family's Great Insight Technique to outsiders."
Yu Shu obeyed his words and made another vow. Zhu Muzhao nodded and told her intentionally or unintentionally: "This mourning hall was built about two hundred years ago. It has always been effective. Rumor has it that a generation's Great Instructor leaked the secret of the Book of Mystery Maiden Liu Ren without permission. After he left office, he died suddenly within ten days."
Yu Shu felt a cold breeze on the back of her neck. She turned her head and looked at the two rows of black ancestral tablets on the altar. She couldn't help but shiver. She thought: How is this effective? It's obviously evil.

Ever since Yu Shu learned how to use the Great Insight Technique, she found a new hobby. Every day when she returned to the mansion, she would find someone to practice her eyesight and hearing skills. She would ask all kinds of questions, often making people dizzy and tongue-tied. The maids of the North Xiang had all suffered from her torment, but she never stopped enjoying it.
Zhu Muzhao divided the Great Insight Technique into five stages. The first stage was to observe people's words and expressions. The second stage was to hear and see clearly. The third stage was to have a deep understanding of the situation. Only then could one distinguish between truth and falsehood. And when one reached the fourth stage, hearing and seeing in all directions, one would be able to judge the truth from a few words. The last stage was' A Leaf Signals Autumn '. He had practiced the Great Insight Technique to perfection. It took him a full twenty years to reach the stage where he could use it as he pleased.
Yu Shu originally thought that with her perception, even if she learned all of Zhu Muzhao's teachings and practiced tirelessly, it would take her at least three to five years to have a deep understanding of the technique. She didn't expect that after seven days of learning, she would feel the realm of hearing and seeing clearly.
This kind of change was very obvious. Her eyesight seemed to have become ten times clearer in one night. She could even clearly see the small characters written on a piece of paper that was thirty feet away. Her hearing was also better than before. At night, through the door, she could hear the servant girls whispering to each other in the corridor.
She was pleasantly surprised, but if something was out of the ordinary, it would be strange. She was afraid that she had gone mad. The next day, she went to Tai Xi Lou and told Zhu Muzhao about her change.
Zhu Muzhao obviously didn't expect her to break through to the second stage so quickly. After testing it on the spot, he confirmed that she had really reached the realm of hearing and seeing clearly.
Seeing his strange expression, Yu Shu couldn't help thinking about the worst, "Imperial Secretary, did I go wrong somewhere? Speaking of which, I've been having headaches lately. I'm a light sleeper and would wake up at the slightest movement. "What was even stranger was that she didn't sleep well at night but didn't feel tired during the day.
Zhu Muzhao frowned. His gaze fell on the scar between her eyebrows and he said, "The world is boundless and full of strange things. I've seen your situation in a book before. It's often said that people have seven apertures and eight apertures. The seven apertures refer to the eyes, nose, ears, and mouth. These eight apertures are also on the head but most of them don't open. Some people become smart overnight and some people become extremely strong overnight. This is what people call 'opening the apertures'. I'm guessing that these changes of yours might be related to your previous encounter. "
Yu Shu subconsciously touched the bump on her forehead and said in a daze, "According to you, I've actually gained a blessing in disguise?"
Zhu Muzhao smiled and comforted her, "It seems to be a good thing right now. You don't need to think too much. If you're really worried, I'll have Qingjue come over to take a look for you."
Yu Shu was really worried. What if this was a side effect of her head injury? She said to him embarrassedly, "Then I'll have to trouble Senior Martial Brother Zhu to make another trip." She had learned the skills of the Zhu family after all, so it wasn't wrong to call Zhu Qingjue senior martial brother.
In the evening, Zhu Qingjue heard the news and came to the Celestial Commissioner. He already knew that his father had secretly taught the Great Insight Technique to Yu Shu, so he had no objection. Now that he heard about Yu Shu's symptoms and Zhu Muzhao's suspicions, he suddenly said in amazement, "I've only heard from the opera that someone fell down and knocked his head, and then became smart. I didn't expect to meet a living person."
In front of Zhu Muzhao, Yu Shu couldn't argue with him, so she stretched out her hand to let him take her pulse. Zhu Qingjue carefully examined her body and confirmed that there was nothing wrong with her body. In the end, he couldn't find the reason for her headache and light sleep. In the end, he could only attribute it to her sudden enlightenment and overexertion of her brain.
Yu Shu accepted this explanation with skepticism. When she returned home, she burned incense and used the six lines to make a divination for herself. After knowing that it was a blessing and not a curse, she finally accepted the fact that she suddenly became smart.
On a whim, she extinguished the Tihu incense. When the fragrance in the room dissipated, she used the six lines to make a divination. Unexpectedly, she successfully calculated the result! She tried three times in one go, but there was no empty hexagram!
It should be known that in order to teach her the Art of Six Lines to make up for her missing eight characters, Qing Zheng made her play Go chess for many days and nights, only to improve her poor aptitude a little. She barely reached the threshold of learning the six lines, and she still couldn't make a divination for herself. Later, Xin Ya gave her the imitation Tai Qing Cauldron and the Tihu incense, so she could use the six lines to make a divination for herself.
Now, she didn't need to use the Tihu incense and could use the six lines freely!
"Have I really been enlightened?" Yu Shu couldn't help but walk around the room. She wished she could roar to the sky to vent the joy in her heart.
— — Yi Youyun, fortune and misfortune depend on each other. She finally understood the true meaning of these four words today.

Prince Xiang was locked up in the Imperial Court for half a month. He reached a private agreement with Zhu Muzhao. Zhu Muzhao arranged for his family of three to escape from the capital, and he would hand over the descendant of the previous generation's fate breaker and the child who was likely to have the fate bone to the Celestial Commissioner.
Zhu Muzhao didn't mention this matter in front of Yu Shu, and she didn't ask about it. Until the day before the new Emperor's coronation, Zhu Muzhao took her to an inconspicuous carriage and left quietly from the back door of the Celestial Commissioner's house.
"Imperial Secretary, where are we going?" Yu Shu looked at the unfamiliar street outside through the screen window.
"Prince Xiang committed suicide last night to escape punishment."
She was stunned for a moment. She turned around and met his calm eyes. She couldn't help but use the Grand Insight Spell. Her pair of almond-shaped eyes instantly became empty.
"Is Prince Xiang really dead? : "
