Zhang, the Master of Heaven, asked Wang Si: "If you have a jade basin at home, why is your family still so poor?"

Wang Si shuddered slightly and said, "A jade basin? What jade basin? If my family had a jade basin, we would have become rich a long time ago!"

Zhang Tian Shi tilted his head and the program brought over the dog bowl.

Cheng Shi cleaned the dog bowl carefully, turned it over, and placed it upside down, revealing an old official seal from the Song Dynasty at the bottom. "This bowl is extremely pure white and feels warm and smooth to the touch. If I'm not mistaken, it's the rarest type of Yangzhi jade from Hetian. The seal at the bottom is from the Song Dynasty, which suggests that it's likely a treasure excavated from a Song Dynasty tomb. Based on the value of the jade alone, this is a piece of carved and polished jade worth at least 100 million. Not to mention, it's also an antique that can easily fetch tens of millions of dollars in the black market. It doesn't seem like this bowl belongs to your family. Can you explain its origin? Otherwise, I can expose you for stealing from ancient tombs. During this period, tomb-raiding is a serious crime that you should be aware of."

Wang Si looked at the pot with surprise, but then a hint of realization emerged in his eyes. He knew that Master Yu, being a divine figure, would not give him anything ordinary. It was just that he had poor eyesight and couldn't recognize the true value of the item.

Wang Si looked down at the child in his arms and knew that he could not keep the truth hidden any longer. He let out a sigh and said, "Actually, this pot was given to me by Master Yu. It was meant to hold a golden carp, but who knew that when the carp died, that woman would use it to feed her dog. In the end, Master Yu's death was my fault. If I hadn't skipped work five days ago, he wouldn't have been in trouble, and my child wouldn't have fallen asleep forever......"

Zhang, the Taoist priest, took a puff of dry cigarette, and the thick smoke veiled his face with a mysterious mist.

Wang Si saw that no one had any reaction, so he had to explain everything thoroughly in great detail.

Wang Si and Yu Yuan had actually met over a decade ago. It just so happened that at that time, Yu Yuan had encountered a life-threatening crisis, but fortunately, Wang Si intervened and saved his life, changing his fate.

Later on, Yu Yuan, in order to repay Wang Si's kindness, thought of all kinds of ways to help him improve his fortunes.

The first time he helped was when he got married to his wife over ten years ago. Yu Yuan predicted that on a certain morning at 10 o'clock, a young girl was going to commit suicide by drowning herself at the wooden bridge because her heart had been hurt by someone. He went to save her, but unfortunately, he was a step too late, and the girl had already drowned. At this moment, the well-known matchmaker in the town forcefully arranged a bride for him, who was also famously ugly and aggressive - the wife he has now.

The second time Yu Yuan helped was three years after he got married. His father had passed away and Yu Yuan did everything he could to find a small dragon vein nearby. He forcefully ignored the bad fortune of burying his father at the site of the small dragon vein and renamed himself Wang Si to maintain a stable and prosperous life.

No one expected that Wang Si, who changed his household registration with the character "Si," had shallow cultural knowledge and couldn't write it. They mistakenly wrote it as the character for "si," which resulted in Wang Si being wrongly executed.

One year later, some people suddenly came to the city, wanting to plant a bamboo forest and carry out a big project. The bamboo forest covered up Wang Si's father's grave completely, draining its vitality and making it impossible for the little dragon to thrive. The little dragon was stuck there, with its den becoming a wasteland.

The last time was not long ago, and it should be considered Wang Si's luck and Yu Yuan's tribulation.

Just a month ago, Yu Yuan, who had disappeared for several years, suddenly came back to look for Wang Si. He was tightly holding a basin in his hands, which contained a fat gold carp. Yu Yuan asked Wang Si to properly care for it and to offer three sticks of incense to it every day.

Yu Yuan also told Wang Si that this fish was a divine creature and must not be treated unfairly in the slightest. Wang Si took this to heart and offered incense to the fish every day. The fish was also a bit peculiar - it could not be given new water because it would jump out of the container once the water was changed.

After only serving for two days, Wang Sicai was shocked that the foreman gave him an extra hundred yuan in wages, which was like a sudden windfall. Afterwards, he was promoted with a salary increase. Just half a month ago, someone even nominated him as a candidate for village chief in the election, and good things have kept happening to him ever since. Wang Sicai was overjoyed and would offer incense and bow to the fish at home every day.

But his wife didn't believe it and coldly ignored him, saying the fish was too smelly.

Just five days ago, after Wang Si had left for work, two relatives from his wife's side came to their home. The wife was worried that she didn't have any meat or fish to entertain them and save face. Suddenly, she saw a fish on the table and immediately picked it up to scale and clean the guts.

Just as the old woman was about to act on her murderous intentions in that moment, a sudden downpour came down like buckets of water. Wang Si was unable to work and hastily braved the heavy rain to return home.

And in the end, he arrived a little late. The fish had already been sliced and cooked. Upon returning home, he was greeted by a steaming pot of fresh fish soup.

Wang Si saw the soup and was naturally very angry, but he didn't want to make a scene with outsiders present. He lifted the fish soup and hid it, then headed out into the heavy rain to find Yu Yuan. However, to his surprise, he found Yu Yuan lying on the ground as soon as he arrived. His deathly and terrifying expression almost scared Wang Si out of his breath.

The panicked villagers hastily called the doctor from the town to come and save him, but by the time the doctor arrived, Yuyuan's limbs had already begun to stiffen, and it seemed that the only way to save him now was through the art of resurrection.

Wang Si had a hunch that it was related to the fish being slaughtered, and he immediately felt deep regret in his heart, feeling sorry for Yu Yuan.

He returned home, only to find that his lively child couldn't be awakened no matter how much he called out. He sighed and thought it was karma, and went to check the fish soup, only to find that the fish slices inside had disappeared. Sitting by the window was also a round and plump black cat.

In Wang Si's heart, mixed emotions swirled. The few ounces of meat he had managed to gain back over the past month had disappeared within a day. In these past few days, he had held his child close and couldn't sleep at night. He also stopped going to work and every day burned money paper for Yu Yuan.

On one hand, he hoped that Yuyuan would fare better in the underworld; on the other hand, he hoped that the fish would spare his only child. Any retribution that may come should be directed at him alone. Thirdly, he hoped that he could lessen his share of the guilt. After all, the woman was his wife, and as a man, he naturally had to shoulder all the wrongs she had done. But now, this matter has already brought harm to Yuyuan and their child, making him unable to sleep peacefully.

"However, what was most frustrating was that this woman had absolutely no remorse or reverence in her heart. She refused to even burn a piece of paper at the coffin, let alone have any respect for the deceased. Even when her own child was in trouble, she maintained such an attitude, which really made Wang Siliang lose heart."

After finishing the introduction, the color of Zhang Tianshi's eyes suddenly darkened as he took a puff of dry tobacco and looked at the closed bedroom, lost in thought.

Wang Si had never been mentioned by Yu Yuan before. Yu Yuan only said that he had a benefactor who was a person with extremely bad luck for eight generations. Zhang Tianshi laughed it off at the time. It was only today that he realized Yu Yuan was not wrong. Wang Si's fate could not be changed even if someone wanted to alter it.

According to Wang Si's account, Yuyuan had already died before he arrived, so Wang Si didn't see anything. This situation is troublesome as the only clue is the fish, and Wang Si believes that the fish was killed and incurred retribution afterwards.

"But the truth is still unknown. Whether Yu Yuan's death was caused by human factors or the fish, we don't know for sure."

The fish was encased in high-quality jade and nourished in the purest rootless water. According to Wang Si's description, it was not a simple goldfish. It was said that as carp swim through the Dragon Gate, this particular carp must have been a fish that had transformed into a dragon in a place where the dragon's energy was extremely abundant, as described by Yu Yuan.
