Huang Shigong at Qiaotou, Huang Chengyan riding a donkey

This old man wearing leather clothes and riding a donkey is the "Old Huang" in Guan Lin's mouth.

He is none other than Zhuge Liang's father-in-law, Huang Yueying's father, and a famous Miannan scholar - Huang Chengyan.

In Jingzhou during the Three Kingdoms era, when mentioning celebrities, the first impression would always be Mr. Shui Jing, Sima Hui.

In fact, although Sima Hui is famous, he is inevitably inferior to the two.

One of them is Pang Degong who lives in seclusion in "Lumen Mountain".

His son Pang Shanmin married Zhuge Liang's second sister;

His son Pang Tong was an important counselor around Liu Bei, and he made great contributions to the conquest of Yizhou;

Another of his sons, named Pang Lin, was Pang Tong's younger brother and was now serving as the governor of Jingzhou.

It is worth mentioning that Zhuge Liang's "Wolong", Pang Tong's "Feng Chu", and Sima Hui's "Shui Jing" were all gifts from Pang Degong.

This shows how famous this person is.

Some Confucian scholars were unhappy and turned around and left, while others actually put them on for him.

There was even one time in the middle when the old man said they didn't fit, so the young man gave his shoes to the old man, but in the end, the old man still threw the shoes under the bridge.

So, the next day, Guan Lin gave the old man a manufacturing diagram, which was the most complete manufacturing diagram of the "Qin Crossbow" dismantled from the terracotta warriors and horses in his previous life.

After picking up the shoes for the first time and putting them on for the old man, the old man said they "didn't fit" as promised and threw them under the bridge.

That was half a year ago, Guan Lin had just come through his soul and was still in a state of confusion.

When he heard these words, Guan Lin was stunned again.

The reason why it is called "Desheng Bridge" is because after the Battle of Chibi in the 13th year of Jian'an, Cao Cao fled northward in a hurry. Liu Bei's army and the Soochow army advanced together, pursued Nanjun and returned victoriously, so this bridge was called "Desheng Bridge".

”.

In addition, many sizes and proportions were drawn by Guan Lin in an extremely general way, making it extremely difficult to manufacture.

Guan Lin felt so speechless for the first time.

Guan Lin didn't like him either. In the spirit of "doing justice for heaven", he made a face at the old man.

So, the two of them agreed that if people's feet were different sizes, the old man would never bother Guan Lin again. If they were the same size, Guan Lin would have to find shoes that fit the old man.

But the young man was very patient. He picked it up again and put it on the old man again, but the old man threw it off again.

Facts have proved that Guan Lin underestimated this old man!

By chance, Guan Lin came to Desheng Bridge.

This curse was clearly heard by everyone on the entire "Victory Bridge".

The words came out of my mouth...

In order to avoid the spread of the situation.

So, Guan Lin asked, "You said you would be my master, but you have to let me know, what do you know?"

Guan Lin was also drunk...

"Haha..." Guan Lin laughed, "——'If Zheng people want to buy shoes, they should first satisfy themselves.'" He read out a sentence first, and then changed the topic: "Han Feizi wrote this 'Zheng people buy shoes'

This is a distorted interpretation. The world says that when buying shoes, Zheng people 'would rather have trust than confidence'. In fact, people in the world have wrongly blamed Zheng people! In my opinion, people should rather trust the strength of the size than their own feet?

"

Since the Battle of Chibi, there have been many wine shops and tea stalls here, and countless storytellers have gathered here to tell the stories of the heroes in extremely exaggerated ways.

When he found the old man, he showed his cards right away, "Just tell me how much money you want! I'll go home and steal... No, I'll go home and collect it!"

"Then what can you teach?"

He felt that he was stupid. He had been messing around with an old man for so long. If he had such time, wouldn't it be nice to go home and have a good sleep?

The old man was happy to hear this.

Guan Lin was still scratching his head at that time, wondering, why does this scene feel so familiar?

But what surprised Guan Lin was.

Guan Lin slapped the table. He felt that this old man had really ruined me... He couldn't stay silent like this anymore and had to do something.

This is not long after Guan Lin just traveled through time.

He grabbed Guan Lin and exclaimed: "I finally found a disciple who is intelligent, interesting and not rigid!"

This is a wooden arch bridge. This bridge is located to the north of the gate of Jingzhou City. The river under the bridge is parallel to the city moat and flows into the Long Lake.

Sure enough, the old man was furious: "You are bluffing me!"

only…

After all this calculation, Huang Chengyan and Liu Biao are still a good "brother-in-law" pair!

Secondly, this is Huang Chengyan. Speaking of Huang Chengyan, unlike the "Pang, Ma, Xiang, Xi" families who were the top in Jingzhou, Huang Chengyan's lintel cannot be said to be prominent.

——It’s not a loss either.

In order to get rid of this old man, he spent his own money to buy a pair of good shoes.

If it weren't for the tradition of respecting the elderly in the Han Dynasty, anyone who beat an elderly person over seventy years old for no reason would be beheaded. Guan Lin just picked up a stone and threw it at him.

Guan Lin didn't explain, he stretched out his hand and said, "Take two steps, if you don't believe me, take two steps!"

The old man pointed at the shoes and said, "These shoes are too big!"

Behind him was a donkey, which was nothing at first, but unfortunately, there was a pair of worn-out straw sandals in the shallows of the river under the bridge, which seemed to have been dropped by the old man.

And that young man, no matter how good-tempered he was, couldn't hold back at this moment.

The old man appeared again.

Of course, even if he thinks so, it is impossible for Guan Lin to do such a thing as picking up shoes. In his two lifetimes, he has never been so humble.

At this moment, Guan Lin recognized it and bowed his head to the matter of "bad guys grow old".

Of course, with the rise of Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei dominating the two states of Jing and Yi, the status of Huang Chengyan, Zhuge Liang's father-in-law, has naturally increased.

But he is the son-in-law of Cai Xi, the leader of the "Cai Family", the largest wealthy family in Jingzhou.

Guan Lin asked back, "Zhang Liang met an old man wearing a coarse short robe at the bridge. The old man deliberately took off his shoes and asked him to pick them up. Then he ordered Zhang Liang to put them on for him. Finally, he praised the boy for being teachable and made an appointment.

See you at the bridge in five days!"

But soon, he realized that he was overthinking.

He discovered... that once an old man becomes evil, or once a bad person becomes old, it is so awesome that you can't accept it even if you don't accept it.

According to Guan Lin's thinking, similar to the divine arm crossbow of the Song Dynasty, the problem of 300 meters is not big.

Sitting at the tea stall every day, I couldn't help but pay more attention to this old man.

After saying this, the old man pushed forward again, "The whole Jingzhou is begging and rushing to be my disciple, so I can't even count them. I will make an exception and accept you as my closed disciple. Are you still not happy? You are not happy,

I still have to accept you as my disciple!"

At that time, Guan Lin finally felt what it meant to be a scoundrel and what it meant to be a porcelain... He felt that he had been blackmailed by this old man.

As a result, the old man was happy. He said that he didn't want money, he just wanted his pair of shoes.

Guan Lin was thinking...

Early the next morning, the old man came to the alley opposite Guan Mansion as promised. He first measured the size of his feet. After Guan Lin verified it, he went back to the house to sleep. The old man began to "walk two steps" continuously!

For Guan Lin, this is a rare day of peace...

The words came out of my mouth...

Finally, after observing the old man for ten days, I finally saw a young man.

There was an old man with gray hair, a long beard, and a cane. He was unkempt and always sat barefoot on the bridge.

"Why is this?" The old man opened his eyes wide, Guan Lin's words successfully aroused his curiosity.

Fortunately, Guan Lin was not led astray by the old man... and even successfully led the old man into a trap.

Then... under the expectant gaze of the old man, he was thrown directly into the rushing water, and the shoes were washed away by the river.

He wondered if the old man was waiting for a humble and patient young man to throw his shoes under the bridge and then pick them up and put them on for him?

This tests the patience of young people.

"That's because the shoes you gave me are uncomfortable!" The old man insisted.

"Forget it!" Before the old man could finish speaking, Guan Lin interrupted subconsciously: "We have met not ten times, but seven or eight times. In addition to asking me for shoes, you also

What did you do? Others saw it and thought I was bullying the old man!"

"As a result, Zhang Liang was late twice, and the third time he was finally one step ahead, so the old man taught Zhang Liang "Tai Gong's Art of War". The study of "Tai Gong's Art of War" was indispensable for Zhang Liang to become a sage.

Later... Sima Qian recorded that the old man was none other than Huang Shigong, the legendary 'Gao Shi' who was invisible in the cave, also known as "the old man on the mountain!"

He is too withdrawn, and he is too eager to communicate with others, but he doesn't want to talk too much with those stupid people!
