Meet the Gentleman

Chapter 204: Palace Master? King? Crown Prince?

The old man was promoted to the title of Great Sage, but he was unknown to the world except for the leader, the Three Dukes and a few others.

In fact, there are many great sages like this old man who are unknown to the world not only in Confucianism, but also in other religions.

They will silently protect the sect throughout their lives.

When the sect needs them, they will fight without hesitation, even until death, and their names are unknown to the world...

The old man's surname was Donglou, his given name was Hui, and his courtesy name was Shuoyue.

At this time, the old man was reading in the study in the back hall. After a while, he seemed to remember something and looked up and said, "Zhishou, I heard that you are good at fighting. Can you teach me how to fight?"

"fight?"

An Xiu was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Disciple also doesn't know how to fight."

"You can't fight? No!"

The old man was a little surprised and said, "Aren't you the best under the great Confucianists? How can you be the best under the great Confucianists if you can't fight? I also heard that there are many great Confucianists in my Confucianism who can't beat you. So it seems that you are good at fighting."

"Teacher, I really don't know how to fight."

An Xiu said helplessly.

"Really not?"

The old man asked seriously, and there seemed to be some disappointment in his eyes.

“…Not really.”

An Xiu hesitated and said.

"So that means it will happen?"

The old man said happily, and then he sighed and said, "I have been dull since I was young, and I am always one step behind others in everything I do. I was often bullied when I was young, so I have always envied people who can fight. I'm telling you, maybe you won't believe it, but I have never fought once until now."

An Xiu was stunned.

At this time, the old man looked at his hands seriously, with a confused look on his face.

How should we fight this?
Moreover, he really wanted to become a strong fighter...

"Teacher, how many Confucianism, Taoism and magical powers have you studied now?" An Xiu pondered for a moment, intending to give some pointers.

"Oh, there are a few."

The old man said.

"When the teacher fights, just throw out Confucianism and supernatural powers together." An Xiu thought about it, but felt that something was wrong.

"that's it?"

The old man looked surprised and confused.

An Xiu hesitated for a moment and then nodded. He didn't know how to teach the teacher to fight. And the word "fight" always felt a little wrong.

How could a student teach a teacher to fight?
At this time, the old man looked at his hands and thought for a while, then said with envy: "In my Confucianism, the best fighter is Brother Meng. Brother Meng has been fighting since he was a child and has never lost in his life. Tsk tsk."

"It's really enviable."

The Brother Meng mentioned by the old man is the righteous man.

"If Brother Meng wasn't in a hurry to return to the Wanli Changting, I would have wanted to learn how to fight from him." The old man said with some regret, "When I was young, I should have learned how to fight from him, but unfortunately I was busy studying..."

"Teacher, don't you need Qingyan to come?"

An Xiu hesitated for a moment and said.

The old man shook his head and said, "My responsibility now is to protect Qingyan in secret. Don't let him know."

An Xiu nodded.

"Let's go and teach the master to fight."

The old man stood up, looking eager to try.

An Xiu felt quite helpless and had to follow his teacher and then went deep into the burial mountain.

After a while, the old man's face was bruised and his clothes were torn. Facing An Xiu's attack, he had no idea how to respond. Although he threw out all his Confucian and Legalist magical powers, An Xiu just stood there quietly, and none of his Confucian and Legalist abilities hit him...

Moreover, he was actually beaten by a literary minister.

At this time, An Xiu's face was full of regret. He knew that the teacher would not fight, but he did not know that the teacher was so bad at fighting that it was unbelievable. "Zhi Shou, come again."

The old man rested for a while and said, as a great sage, he couldn't even beat a minister of literature. How could he protect Feng Qingyan?

So, I have been learning how to fight in the mountains these days.

……

Under the night.

Feng Qingyan came out of the Jiazi Courtyard and walked towards the burial mountain.

He walked for dozens of miles before stopping at a mountain stream, waiting quietly for the other party to show up.

A moment later, a short, dark-skinned old farmer slowly walked out of the darkness. He looked at Feng Qingyan as he walked, with some shock in his eyes. He said, "They look exactly like him. Too much like him. How is this possible?"

Feng Qingyan was a little surprised. What was it really like?
"But the Palace Master?"

The old farmer said in a daze.

"I wonder why you brought me out here?" Feng Qingyan asked, "But did the Marquis of Qingshan ask you to come here?"

"Tuyang, the head of the Qingshan Marquisate, pays respects to the Lord of the Palace, pays respects to the Lord of the State."

At this time, the old farmer knelt down, trembling all over, tears streaming down his face like a spring, and he choked up and said, "Master, I have waited so long for you..."

"???"

Feng Qingyan was full of doubts. When did he become the Lord of the Palace and the Lord of the Country? Then, he was stunned for a moment. Wasn't he the Housekeeper of the Marquis's Mansion?
He couldn't help but asked in surprise: "Are you the old man of Qingshan Marquis Mansion?"

The old man of Qingshan Marquis’ Mansion is the old ghost mentioned by Youdu.

He was also the person who risked his life to save him from the four ghost kings of Youdu that day.

But if the old ghost in the Qingshan Marquis's Mansion wasn't a ghost, how could he be a human? And the old farmer standing in front of him was a living person, not a ghost.

And according to legend, the elder of Qingshan Marquis Mansion lived for countless years.

Rumor has it that he is a person from the Ghost Merchant Era.

He is also the longest-lived person in the world.

But how is it possible for a person to live so long?
This has been going on for at least two thousand years.

It also means that the old farmer lived for more than two thousand years. How is that possible?

"Master of the Palace?"

At this moment the old farmer was stunned.

Could it be that the person in front of him was not the Palace Master? He just looked like him? However, he looked too much like the Palace Master. He looked exactly like the Palace Master.

However, Xu Sheng is a descendant of the Great Emperor, so it is possible that they just look alike.

The old farmer has lived for countless years, and every time he cut himself, he would lose a memory, but the appearance of the mansion lord was the only thing that was deeply imprinted in the depths of his soul.

"Your Highness, I'm wrong. I'm not the Lord of the Palace."

Feng Qingyan shook his head, then bowed to the old farmer and said, "Qingyan thanks the old man for saving my life that day. If you need anything, Qingyan will definitely do his best to help you."

When Feng Qingyan bowed down, the old farmer immediately felt a terrifying aura.

He seemed to be behind Feng Qingyan, "looking" at a strange and terrifying darkness, which concealed a terrifying existence.

That terrifying existence suppressed the ghost head behind him.

Feng Sanding is indeed a descendant of the great emperor!

Moreover, it is definitely a pure bloodline, and it is even possible that it is the Palace Master himself...

At this time, the old farmer immediately avoided the ceremony of Feng Qingyan and said, "Prince, you can't do that! I am the head of the Marquis' Mansion of Qingshan State, and I am also a member of the ghost clan. I should swear to protect the prince until my death. This is our duty as members of the ghost clan."

Uh?
At this time Feng Qingyan looked at the old farmer in confusion.

First the Lord of the Palace and now the Crown Prince? Also, the people of the Ghost Clan? Doesn't the Ghost Clan refer to the ghosts of the two countries of Bashu?

……

PS: The "鬼" in the ghost clan was originally "礻" character, but it cannot be displayed on mobile reading, so we can only change it back to the ghost character, or change it to the "礻鬼" clan?
