Chapter 40 Don’t treat your inner strength as extraordinary
"It turns out that the old gentleman's surname is also Huang. It seems that he belongs to my family..."
Huang Rong took a serious look at Huang Shang's appearance.
Pure and elegant, he should have been a handsome man when he was young.
But Huang Rong always felt that this old man looked different from her father Huang Yaoshi.
However, she wasn't sure.
Appearance itself can only be used to judge three generations of close relatives.
After a few generations, it is extremely normal for some errors to occur...
"This disciple has lived seventy years in vain. He is in a state of confusion. If Master Luo hadn't given me some advice, he would have been like a man in a dream."
Huang Shang put away her smile and bowed deeply to Huang Rong: "This disciple is sincere and willing to worship Master Huang Zhai as his teacher and ask Master Huang Zhai to teach him martial arts skills."
"Hey, sir, get up first. This matter is a bit complicated..."
Huang Rong didn't expect Huang Shang to be so straightforward in his apprenticeship, so she had no choice but to tug on Lin Xuan's sleeve: "Stop watching the excitement and help me think about what to do."
"Let me ask first..."
Lin Xuan stretched out his hand to help Huang Shang up: "Did the old gentleman help the current officials to carve a set of "Wanshou Taoist Canon"?"
"Huh? Master Lin Dazhai also knows about this? This set of Dao Zang was printed just two months ago and shipped to Bianjing."
Huang Shang sighed with emotion: "This set of Taoist canon totals more than 5,400 volumes. It took more than four years to compile it. It can be regarded as containing all the Taoist books in the world."
"That's no problem..."
Lin Xuan nodded and said calmly: "I will discuss the matter with Mr. Huang. Can the old gentleman wait for a while?"
"Master Lin Dazhao is so polite. This is of course okay."
Huang Shang walked more than ten meters away with a cane and stood against a pine tree.
"This Daozang seems to be quite famous. My father also said that he wanted to find it and have a look to confirm some ideas."
"It is a pity that this book was lost during the Jingkang Rebellion, leaving only a few fragments and no system."
Huang Rong frowned slightly: "If I had known, I should have asked dad if my ancestors participated in revising this book."
"This old gentleman should not be your ancestor."
"What should..."
Huang Rong was a little helpless: "Master Lin, could you put a little more thought into this matter?"
"Okay, let me put it another way."
Lin Xuan coughed: "This old gentleman does have some karma with you, but he is definitely not your ancestor."
According to the novel "The Condor Shooting", Huang Shang's entire family was killed by his enemies.
In a rage, Huang Shang hid in the mountains alone and created the "Nine Yin Manual", intending to kill all his enemies.
It turned out that he was too invested in creating his achievements and unknowingly spent more than forty years on it.
All his enemies were tortured to death by him.
Excluding the small chance that Huang Shang is still old-hearted and can marry a wife and have children when he is over a hundred years old and perform human miracles...
Lin Xuan felt that Huang Shang should have no descendants.
Although everyone has the last name Huang, they are not related to each other.
Another way of thinking: If Huang Shang really had descendants, the "Nine Yin Manual" should also be a family heirloom, and it would not be used as a prize in the Huashan Sword Discussing.
If we go by history...
Huang Shang in history should just be a standard literary old man who worked as an official, revised books, and wrote lyrics.
No matter how foolish Song Huizong was, he would not send an old man in his seventies to conquer Fang La.
Therefore, most of Huang Shang has descendants.
But in history, there is definitely no father and daughter Huang Yaoshi and Huang Rong.
There is no need to discuss it from this perspective...
"Master Lin is so convinced that the little girl believes it."
Huang Rong pondered: "Since this old man is not my ancestor, why did Mr. Luo say that he is causally involved with me?"
"As far as you are concerned, the "Nine Yin Manual" was written by this old gentleman."
"What!"
As if she thought of something, Huang Rong's eyes suddenly turned red and she said angrily: "Is this old man doing this?"
"Don't be impulsive. Although your father's death has something to do with this book, Mr. Huang cannot be blamed."
"Besides, in this Water Margin plane, there is no such thing as the Nine Yin Manual."
Lin Xuan sighed: "By the way, my condolences."
"……Why."
Huang Rong was silent for a moment, then stretched out her hand to wipe the corners of her eyes: "I also know it's none of his business, but I just can't help but be annoyed."
"If you can't help it, just cry."
Lin Xuan touched Huang Rong's head: "It's okay for a little girl to cry."
"You..., hum! When you do this, the atmosphere is gone..."
Huang Rong shook her head and threw away Lin Xuan's hand: "Forget it, let's not talk about my mother for now. What should we say here?"
"How do you say what?"
"This old guy's martial arts skills are so high, and he still comes to me to become my disciple. What's his plan?"
Huang Rong thought carefully about her words: "If we really want to fight, is there any hope for the two of us plus Master Lu... uh, can we escape?"
"You're thinking too much..."
"Um?"
"Huang Shang may be a peerless master at your side, but in history...well, in this Water Margin plane, he should be just an ordinary person with extremely high talents."
"In fact, his talent is originally meaningless in this world."
Lin Xuan pondered: "Since Master Luo said that you two have achieved each other, it is probably because of your arrival that he has the hope of becoming a peerless master."
"Why?"
"Because the planes are self-consistent."
"ah?"
"The world over there is a world of warriors and knights, and it follows a standard internal force system."
"In this Water Margin world, there are many masters of martial arts."
"But including Wu Erlang and Master Lu, everyone basically works from the outside to the inside, using extremely vigorous blood and physical strength to make up for the weakness of insufficient internal strength."
"Apart from this, this world only has some superficial breathing methods, which can only be used to cultivate internal energy."
Lin Xuan smiled: "Because of the difference in worldview, it is very likely that because of your arrival, this world has really begun to have the concept of internal force."
"...Is there such a thing?"
Huang Rong was stunned for a moment, and said in a daze: "This world clearly has stars descending to the earth, and has magical powers, but can't even practice internal force?"
"Internal force is also a special extraordinary force, not something that is common on the street. You are also a hindrance to knowledge..."
Lin Xuan sighed: "Many worlds don't have this thing called internal force at all."
Internal force, although it looks like an ordinary and common commodity.
But, it is actually a kind of extraordinary power exclusive to the martial arts plane.
In the demon-free environment of Earth, Lin Xuan has never heard of any master who can really practice internal force...
Teacher Ma doesn't dare to brag like that.
"It seems... That's right, I haven't heard of any masters like Zhang Tianshi and Luo Zhenren over there."
Huang Rong's mouth curled up: "Most of their talents are in magic power. I don't have this stuff over there, so they are dumbfounded."
"That should be the reason."
Lin Xuan thought: "If you can learn Taoism, when you go back, maybe Zhang Tianshi can really perform the Five Thunders Law."
"It's not that easy to learn..."
Huang Rong shrugged slightly: "We only have half a year left. According to Taoist Luo, it's not enough to practice Qi and build a foundation. Let's talk about it later."
"Well, there is really no rush to practice magic. Let's find a more reliable inheritance in the future."
Lin Xuan pointed at Huang Shang and asked: "Back to the topic, what about this old gentleman, do you want to accept him as a disciple?"
"If If I don't accept him as a disciple, will he become a master? "
"Since the concept of internal force has already existed in this world, with the talent of old man Huang, he can probably comprehend it on his own and become a martial arts master."
"But if you teach him a whole set of martial arts concepts, it should be twice the result with half the effort."
"Since Taoist Luo said that you can achieve each other, you should also gain a lot by teaching this disciple."
Lin Xuan smiled: "What I just said is largely my guess about the mechanism of reincarnation space. If possible, I suggest verifying it."
"Okay then."
Huang Rong curled her lips: "My father always said how great the Nine Yin Manual is. I want to see if this old man is really gifted and makes this girl far behind."
"I think it should be..."
"Humph!"
