Chapter Thirty-One: Drive You Down the Mountain
Huang Shang stood up and reached over Yao Hua's chin. "Why are you lowering your head? What's the blushing? You have to lie without blinking. You can still be as if nothing has happened if you do something wrong. Do you think you are still a child? Still feel guilty? And shame? Whether it's practicing Taoism or following Zhao Wuji to die in the future, you can't do it without this state of mind! From the beginning, you scold me for an hour every day, and you have to change your words. Well, it lasts for a month. After you scold me, I will scold you again! If you feel that it's not enough to scold me, we will beat you. I won't bully you. You will pick the weapons in this courtyard, but the fight will last for a year. During this year, you have to spend four hours fighting with me every day. Of course, you don't fight with me when you wake up early in the morning. I love to sleep in. You can fight me after Si Shi Chu every day. You can fight until Hai Shi Chu at night."
Yao Hua's head was forcibly held back and raised, looking at the sky, shouting, "I understand! Since the master intends to teach me martial arts, why don't he practice it until the end of the year?"
"Idiot, do you think you can achieve quick success by practicing more every day? If you practice early and late, get out as soon as possible! I don't teach short-lived ghosts! Don't talk about the rewards of diligence all day long. That's a fool. If you really practice diligently, you can succeed. Wouldn't there be rich people and people with high martial arts skills everywhere in the world? The most important thing is understanding and talent!" Huang Shang put down Yao Hua, his eyes full of contempt.
Yao Hua sat on the ground with the flow. "According to Master, people in the world don't need to study, practice martial arts, farming and doing business. Anyway, they are not as good as those with talent and insight!"
Huang Shang followed closely with a kick, "Idiot! Others can make a living by relying on talent and insight. People with dull qualifications do not study, practice martial arts, farming, or doing business, and rarely wait to starve to death? Do you know that diligence can make up for your shortcomings? This replenishment means that you will not starve to death. It is not that you can compare with talented people. Take you and me as an example. Even if you practice hard until your age, you will not be able to achieve my achievements. Guess how old I started practicing martial arts?"
Yao Hua looked at Huang Shang, and then thought about the old man who had always been lazy, and then replied, "A talented person like you can practice any time. You have been in the world for so many years and are very famous. Eighty percent of them have only started practicing martial arts after you are in the tide."
"You are wrong. I only started practicing martial arts after I was fifty. Before that, I only liked to write lyrics, paintings, reading, shopping in brothels. By the way, I also liked to gamble! I have been eating, drinking and having fun for most of my life, and only started practicing martial arts when I was old!" Huang Shang said very proudly.
"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible! Our Yao family has been practicing martial arts since the age of five, and it is impossible to achieve 10% of your skills. You only started practicing martial arts after you were fifty. How is this possible? And your reputation seems to have spread all over the world since you were young! Don't fool me!" Yao Hua felt that Huang Shang was just bragging, so how could he become a peerless master after you practice martial arts after you were fifty!
"Do you believe it or not? You will know when you go back and ask Zhao Wuji! I'm too lazy to tell you! Hurry up and go and roast lamb legs. It's almost cooked, don't bake it!" Huang Shang also sat on the ground and continued to pick up his wine gourd to drink.
"Master Huang, let's not talk about anything else. It will take at least five years for you to learn from your master. You will not be able to become a peerless master in five years. And internal strength depends on accumulation. How could you practice martial arts to such a shocking level in such a short time? Your lie is imperfect, and the flaws are too obvious!" Yao Hua questioned Huang Shang while turning the roasted lamb legs.
"Idiot, who told you that you have to become a disciple if you learn martial arts? I learned it without a teacher. I have read too many Taoist scriptures and medical books, and I have unintentionally integrated it and created my own unique martial arts. The so-called Ming Cult rebellion that you pacified in Jiangnan was actually just a helpless act after the Ming Cult's vitality was severely damaged! All the true top masters of the Ming Cult were driven out of the Song Dynasty by me, otherwise, they would probably be beaten to Bianjing City by those trashed by the imperial court!" Huang Shang's wine pot was empty, and he threw it behind him, got up and walked towards Nabin, the wine cellar.
Yao Hua shook his head and didn't dare to believe it, but he felt that Huang Shang would not lie about this matter. When he thought deeper, his scalp was numb.
No wonder Mr. Huang Shang would rather sleep in Longhu Mountain than go down the mountain to make achievements. It turns out that he looked down on the useless soldiers and generals of the court at all.
How powerful would it be for a top expert who can be called a top expert by Huang Shang? In Jiangnan Fang Qifo Lin Xianer and others have already caused a lot of trouble to the official army. If these top masters are still there, the consequences will be unimaginable.
That night, the two beat and scolded each other, and ate and drank two jars of imperial wine amid the beating and scolding.
Since then, Huang Shang and Yao Hua started to curse each other like shrews, then fists and feet, and then they used poems, songs and essays, chopped each other with swords, guns, sticks, and sticks, and until they used Sanskrit to curse each other with maces, axes, and a sledgehammers.
In a blink of an eye, it was the summer of the sixth year of Xuanhe. It was snakes and insects that appeared. When the weather was hot, Master Zhang Shixiu came up the mountain.
"Brother Shi Xiu, the two-year period is still a few months away. Why are you here going up the mountain? Are you thinking about the tribute tea I picked from Fenghuang Mountain this year? I'll take it down the mountain to you, why bother to run up the mountain on such a hot day?" Huang Shang greeted Zhang Shixiu, and then drank a few sips of his newly brewed tea, for fear that Master Zhang would snatch it and drink it.
"Oh, Brother Huang is still very interested. I'm here to pick up this Yao Hua. Oh, it was Jian Wendao who went down the mountain!" Zhang Shixiu was so amused and crying when he saw Huang Shang's appearance.
"I just taught here, and this kid is just getting started. Why do you want to pick up people? I won't let go!" Huang Shang said as he hurriedly ran towards the mountain gate.
"Oh, Brother Huang, it's not that I want to pick him up, but that Zhao Wuji has no choice. Things are very urgent. I can't take him back!" Zhang Shixiu hurriedly chased Huang Shang from behind, fearing that Huang Shang would hide in any house and would not come out.
"Call Zhao Wuji to come by himself. If I am suffocated, who can you afford to pay? Come on and leave at the moment, and treat your Longhu Mountain as a place?" Huang Shang said righteous words, but the second half of the sentence you, Longhu Mountain, always sounds strange.
Yao Hua naturally heard the conversation between the two and hurriedly came over. When Huang Shang saw him, he waved his hand, "Gogun, I love to walk, I won't stay! Go down the mountain, don't say goodbye or anything, I won't send you away! Before going down the mountain, well, I will leave you a souvenir with a short knife I used, which is also considered as your master! By the way, don't tell others that I am your master! I'm afraid you will insult the master!"
Before Yao Hua could react, Huang Shang handed over a short knife with sapphire inlaid with sapphires, "Hold it, this is what I intercepted from a tomb robber. You can use it. I usually only use it to pick my teeth! Now I have to find something else to pick my teeth!"
"I thank you, my disciple, but I can't learn the skills, and the time has not come." Yao Hua was still a little reluctant, and was afraid that Master Zhang and Huang Shang would join forces to test him, so he knelt on the ground and kowtow.
Huang Shang turned around and kicked him down, "What does mother-in-law look like? Get out of here! Brother Shi Xiu, come in and have tea, let this kid go down the mountain and wait for you first!"
Zhang Shixiu was kind-hearted and pulled Yao Hua up, "Oh, you are at least a master and a disciple. It will be difficult to meet after leaving. Why not let him stay for a while? I can tell you the situation too!"
"You brother Shi Xiu is soft-hearted, okay, the weather is hot enough. That, Yao Hua, come in with Brother Shi Xiu, and have a cup of tea before leaving!"
Yao Hua's eyes filled with tears and immediately replied, "Thank you, Master, thank you, Master Zhang!"
After going back to the room to drink tea, Zhang Shixiu took out Zhao Wuji's secret letter and handed it to Huang Shang.
Huang Shang looked at it and handed it to Yao Hua. Yao Hua was surprised after seeing it, "The Song Dynasty and the Jin Kingdom joined forces to destroy the Liao Kingdom. This is a good thing. By the way, the land of Yanyun has been regaining it. This is what Taizu has always dreamed of! Why did the county prince say that the situation is weak and the country will be in a catastrophe?"
"Don't ask me, I don't care about minor matters like national affairs!" Huang Shang turned around and took another sip of tea.
Zhang Shixiu shook his head, "I only know that since last year, many people have been dismissed from office, and some important officials have lost their lives. My son Zhang Shouzhen has returned to Shangqing Town from Bianjing. He said he can't stay in Bianjing anymore!"
Regarding Zao Wuji's concerns, Huang Shang looked indifferent and said nothing. The old master only felt that there was a big stir in the officialdom and that there was an inevitable storm in Bianjing City.
Yao Hua felt that there should be another hidden story behind this. More than a year ago, the 150,000 troops failed to enter Youzhou City, but were defeated in Baigou. Now, in more than a year, they have actually recovered the Sixteen State of Youyun. It is incredible unless someone helps.
After replacing the tribute tea, Huang Shang got up and poured out the teapot. "The tribute tea tastes bad after being brewed for a long time. I secretly picked this tea from Phoenix Mountain. It is already a heavy bleeding for you to drink. I will stop when I see it, hurry up and go down the mountain!"
The old master smiled and stood up, "Brother Huang is still so stingy. Okay, okay, I'll give you half of the tribute tea in my house, so that I won't even have to drink tea next time I come."
"I don't want the tribute tea from you. I love to drink the tribute tea I secretly picked and made by myself. The stolen ones are so interesting and tastes better! I don't care if I give it for free!" Huang Shang said that, but he still took out a piece of dragon and phoenix troupe tea and handed it to the old master.
The old master pushed away, "You are not enough, so I will give it to me. Forget it, I won't take advantage of you, and I won't drink the things you stolen with your hard work! I'll go down the mountain tactfully, so that you won't drive us away with your sword in a while!"
Yao Hua knelt down and kowtowed to Huang Shang, but Huang Shang didn't pull him to continue to send the dragon and phoenix ball tea to the old master's arms.
"A disciple Yao Hua bid farewell to his master, I hope his master will become an immortal as soon as possible!" Yao Hua thought Huang Shang would kick him again or scold him, so he lowered his head and waited.
"Get up, go down the mountain quickly. If you don't want to break into this world of flowers in the future, come back to Longhu Mountain. At least you won't starve to death and can be clean! I won't give you anything, I'll give you a knife! Let's go!" Huang Shang pulled Yao Hua up abnormally, pushed Yao Hua gently with his hands, and pushed Yao Hua out one foot away.
