Guided by the old eunuch, Gu Cheng came to the house and sat down, with his back straight and his mind wandering.
When he first heard the name Huang Shang, he was shocked. Isn't this the man who created the "Nine Yin Manual"? How did he become my teacher?
But then I thought something was wrong. That Huang Shang was from the Northern Song Dynasty, and now he was from the Southern Song Dynasty. There was a difference of nearly a hundred years. He should just have the same name.
After asking the old eunuch, it turned out that Huang Shang was Tongzhi Gongju, that is, the examiner of the scientific examination. He also served as Yishan of Prince Jia's palace, and his main task was to give lectures for him.
As the only son of the currently reigning Emperor Guangzong and Empress He, Zhao Kuo is the perfect candidate for the throne, but he is not the prince yet, just King Jia.
Huang Shang has been teaching Zhao Kuo for four years.
"This teacher must have discovered something abnormal about me, right? It doesn't matter, I am the king and he is the minister, so what can he do?"
Gu Cheng smiled solemnly, calm and composed. When he started to read the "Eight Dragon Codex", he had a royal majesty. The old eunuch standing beside him rubbed his eyes and became inexplicably nervous.
Why is His Highness so different today?
"Huh?" Huang Shang, who also made a surprised sound, walked in slowly.
The bachelor's face was thin, he was wearing a purple robe and a silver fish bag on his waist, which was very consistent with the impression of a civil servant in the Song Dynasty. However, at this moment, his sickly eyes shone brightly and fell on Gu Cheng's face.
"What a sharp look!" Gu Cheng was startled, the thoughts of the Dragon God were tumbling in his mind, as if he was facing a formidable enemy.
The voice of "Fire" suddenly sounded: "Your Highness is indeed blessed with profound blessings. As soon as you enter this world, you will meet someone who is favored by God's will!"
"God's will? Isn't he just the teacher of a prince? That's not the case..."
Gu Cheng was surprised. Before he could speak, Huang Shang's hand in his sleeve suddenly stretched out and grabbed him: "What crazy guy dares to pretend to be a prince!"
"Fuck!"
"How brave!"
Gu Cheng was taken aback, and subconsciously wanted to lean back, when he heard the roar of "fire", and suddenly his right hand fell into his body, and then he slashed down with five fingers, slashing towards Huang Shang.
"Invisible sword energy, flaming sword?" Huang Shang's beard was fluttering, and he was furious. There was a faint sense of pure energy in his body, and he stretched out his hands.
In an instant, strange moves appeared with fists, palms, claws and fingers. Suddenly they were breaking plum blossoms and caressing orchids, quiet and elegant, and suddenly they were like the sky falling and the earth falling, fierce and unconventional.
If all the warriors in the world saw this scene, they would definitely lose their minds, because all the exquisite skills of each sect would be completely shattered when they encountered these skinny palms.
However, no matter what moves Huang Shang changed, Gu Cheng's right hand was just cutting and slashing, like a rock in the sea, which remained motionless despite the strong winds and waves, and the horizontal blows.
The exchange between the two was a flurry of activity. Dozens of moves passed quickly. Not even the sound of the exchange of energy could be heard, and the decorations in the room did not move at all.
It is obvious that both parties are peerless people who are extremely powerful, understand the subtleties, and do not waste a single thing.
The strangest thing was that the old eunuch and the palace maid in the room had confused eyes, neither surprised nor screamed, as if they had not seen the following criminal behavior at all.
"Could this be the magic of soul transfer? Could it be that he really is Huang Shang!" Gu Cheng screamed in his heart, and he was overjoyed when he saw the power of his right hand.
I didn’t expect Long Ling to be so powerful that he could even rival Huang Shang. So wouldn’t he be walking sideways in this world?
Unfortunately, soon, the voice of "Fire" reached the depths of my heart and became weak: "Your Highness, the vitality of heaven and earth in this world is imprisoned, and I cannot defeat this person!"
"Then why are you trying so hard? Anyway, I am Zhao Kuo. Huang Shang is just suspicious, so he dares to kill me?" Gu Cheng was speechless.
Of course, the matter still had to be resolved. He rolled his eyes and decided to take a gamble. He retracted his right hand and looked at Huang Shang calmly.
When Huang Shang saw that he stopped on his own initiative, he turned back and did not attack rashly. He said solemnly: "Who are you? What are your plans for pretending to be a prince?"
Huang Shang didn't know that "fire" was limited by the power of heaven and earth. It was the limit just now, and the more it hits, the weaker it will become.
In his opinion, the person in front of him was truly unfathomable and the most powerful enemy he had ever encountered in his life, so he was full of vigilance and even thought of dying together.
"No matter what, we can't let the demon sneak into the imperial court and cause trouble to the imperial court!"
Gu Cheng read the danger in Huang Shang's firm eyes and said quickly: "Sir, I dreamed last night that the sun fell down and entered my body. When I woke up, I understood a lot of things and I am no longer as confused as before."
Huang Shang was stunned when he heard this and looked over in surprise.
Gu Cheng's words are well-founded. It is said that when Zhao Kuan was born, his mother fell into the court in a dream and held it in her hands, and she was already pregnant.
Look, this idiot came from heaven.
In fact, this was a common tactic used by the ancient royal family. There was a strange phenomenon in the sky, and inheriting the throne was to comply with the destiny. Especially in the Song Dynasty, every emperor seemed to play this trick.
But when he said it now, it seemed particularly different, and Huang Shang was not sure for a while.
Gu Cheng still had a trump card. He stood up, opened his arms, and said calmly: "Sir, why don't you come and take a look? I am who I am?"
Huang Shang taught Zhao Kuo for four years. He was also a great martial arts master who studied heaven and earth. He naturally understood the subtleties of the human body. He went up to touch the bones and quickly determined Gu Cheng's identity. He said doubtfully:
"But what about your martial arts just now?"
"That's the body-protecting dragon god. I don't know any martial arts!" Gu Cheng spread his hand, and a dragon pattern appeared on the palm of his right hand, which was lifelike, as if there was a red dragon flying inside.
Huang Shang took his pulse again and found that Zhao Kuo's meridians were stagnant and there was no real energy in his body. Everything just seemed to be an illusion. Finally, awe appeared in his eyes. He bent his legs and knelt down to kowtow: "Old minister, I rushed to Tianyan.
Death penalty! Death penalty!"
Gu Cheng took a few steps forward and helped him up: "Sir, I am a loyal minister of the Song Dynasty. How can I not know your worries? How can I blame him? Please get up quickly!"
"Old minister is reckless! Old minister is reckless!" Huang Shang kowtowed repeatedly, stood up and looked at the reborn Gu Cheng. He still couldn't hide his surprise, but his eyes were soon filled with relief, and he burst into tears.
Fortunately, Huang Shang's roots are in the imperial court, and he is not one of those lawless people in the world, so he can use this method to resolve it. Gu Cheng was alert and said to the dragon pattern on his palm: "Don't be reckless in the future!"
"Huo" felt aggrieved and put his hands on his body: "Your Highness has taught you a lesson!"
Gu Cheng waited for Huang Shang to finish his excitement and whispered: "Sir, you have such great skills. It's hard to hide them from me. Can you teach me?"
Huang Shang sat down, hesitated for a moment, bowed his head and said: "I dare not deceive Your Highness, I am not from Longqing Pucheng..."
Huang Shang began to tell the story of his origins. His front body was indeed as Zhou Botong said in The Condor Shooting. He was originally a civil servant in the imperial court, but he learned martial arts from the Taoist Canon without a teacher and developed a unique martial arts.
Then he was sent by Song Huizong to attack Mingjiao. Because he didn't know the rules of the world, he became a public enemy. Not only was he besieged and injured, but his family was also killed by martial arts people.
Huang Shang escaped into the mountains and practiced hard, deciphered and compiled the martial arts of various sects, and created the unique art of "Nine Yin Manual". He was originally going to avenge his hatred, but when he was born again, his enemies had all died of old age.
What happened next was different. Just as he was despairing and waiting to die, Huang Shang met a scholar who went to Beijing to take the exam. He had the same name and surname, and even his body shape was somewhat similar. However, the young student suddenly fell into trouble on the way.
Disease, unfortunate death.
This Huang Shang was originally a child of a peasant family. The whole village hoped that he would be able to obtain fame and honor his ancestors. Unexpectedly, Huang Shang sympathized with his plight after such a tragic incident. In addition, since he had no relatives, he used the art of disguise to replace him in Beijing.
Rush for the exam.
He was already the number one scholar, so the scientific examination was a piece of cake. After low-key getting the second-class Jinshi, he started another successful career in officialdom.
Such a legendary life made Gu Cheng full of admiration. What's even more exaggerated is that according to his true age, Huang Shang is already over 120 years old!
Taoist health preservation and Buddhist monks may be able to reach this age. For example, Zhang Sanfeng lived longer, but Huang Shang only started practicing kung fu in middle age and went through bloody battles. There is something wrong with his longevity for such a long time...
Gu Cheng thought for a while and asked.
Huang Shang was also puzzled by this: "I was already on the verge of death twenty years ago, but God refused to accept me until today."
Beings like him are aware of the end of life and death, but their life spans are inexplicably extended. It is obvious that some inexplicable changes have occurred in the entire world.
"It seems that this is the influence brought by the dragon spirit!"
Blessings come from misfortunes, misfortunes come from blessings. Gu Cheng doesn't know whether this change is good or bad, but since he met Huang Shang, how can he miss it? He solemnly bows to his teacher:
