Chapter Thirty-Five: Thin Gold Body

  Yuan Tiangong's face was filled with nostalgia, obviously thinking of his late master again.

  "The road is long, I wonder if your master has figured out anything?" Gao Xing lowered his voice and slowed down.

  Yuan Tiangong's face suddenly became serious in an instant, and he nodded: "This is also one of the reasons I came to find you."

  "What's going on?" Gao Xing's face was puzzled, and his heart inexplicably tightened with anxiety.

  Yuan Tiangong sat down on the couch beside him and said, "According to the positions of the five emperor stars, Zhou State should have two people, Qi State should also have two people, and Chen State only has one person."

  "Who could that be?" Gao Xing asked excitedly.

  Yuan Tiangao nodded and then shook his head.

  "What does this mean?" He was more excited and confused, his heart slightly annoyed and urgent.

  "The five people are who, I don't know either, but yesterday when I saw the young master, one person was confirmed."

  "Did the Taoist priest say I was one of them?"

  Yuan Tianxia nodded and said, "The young master has a faint purple aura surrounding his body, and his body is also emitting a faint divine light. This is indeed the sign of the heavenly mandate!"

  He smiled self-mockingly and said, "The Taoist priest was just joking. Ordinary people can't be too happy, where would there be such strange phenomena as you mentioned?"

  Historically, many emperors were born with purple energy filling the court and divine light illuminating the room. For example, Emperor Wu of Northern Zhou, Yuwen Yong, and later Tang Gaozu Li Yuan were all said to have been so. Perhaps these historical records were just myths created to legitimize imperial power and win over the people's hearts.

  But there is this very famous phrase of Yuan Tian Gang in history, and he can use it to win over many people's hearts with joy from now on, but his heart also has some joy.

  He was delighted that he didn't get excited because of his own words, and Yuan Tian Gang nodded secretly. He no longer dwelled on this topic, smiling: "I came here for two reasons, one is to satisfy my curiosity about the person who can make the heavenly phenomenon change, and the other is to fulfill my master's last wish."

  "Oh? If you need my help, Master Dao, just say so, I'd be happy to assist."

  Yuan Tian Gang shook his head and said: "My master asked me to pass on a sentence to you."

  "Please go ahead, I'm all ears." With a serious and excited expression, Yuan Tian Gang was already so formidable, his master's skills could be seen. A great man spent his whole life calculating, it must be extraordinary, and for his future career, it might be of great help.

  "You and another person from the state of Qi have a destined connection. If you can get their help, great things can be expected. Otherwise..." Yuan Tiangong didn't continue speaking, but stood up and walked out, his clear and gentle voice carrying over, "The matter of your respected father, young master has already made plans, it should be possible to turn danger into safety, I won't say more."

  The sound fell, and Yuan Tiangai had already disappeared from sight. The room was left with only Gao Xingzi alone.

  Gaoxing furrowed his brow tightly, carefully pondering Yuan Tiangang's words. His mood was now somewhat heavy, according to history, the only one who could unify the Central Plains was Yang Jian alone. He had traveled through time and space, just like the butterfly flapping its wings in Amazon, changing the course of history.

  I previously thought the biggest enemy was only Yang Jian, but now it has suddenly become five. Who could they be? I'm delightedly puzzled. As for Yuan Tian's parting words, they left me even more entangled. If that person possesses an emperor's fate, how can he possibly help me? And yet, without his assistance, nothing will come of this great matter.

  "To hell with it, what am I worried about? As a magnificent crosser and an extremely professional one at that, the Laughing Buddha's Devil Hand, which makes people tremble with fear, would not be intimidated by the enemy's strength. In the past, there was only Yang Jian, now there are three more, isn't this even more interesting?"

  Delighted, he put the matter behind him and a warm smile appeared on his face. He stood up, brushed off the dust from his body, went out of the door, down the stairs, and walked out of the Ruhui Inn onto the main street.

  Delighted to see that it was still early, not yet lunchtime, he didn't head home but instead headed east towards the city. Before long, Delight arrived at a secluded residential area in the eastern part of the city.

  The house is not big, looks ordinary and a bit shabby, with peeling paint on the door.

  Walked up happily and pulled the door ring to knock on the door.

  With a creak, the door opened and a slightly immature face appeared, but it was a **-year-old child.

  The child was delighted to see the newcomer. His somewhat wary expression immediately turned into joy, and he exclaimed excitedly: "Hao is here!"

  Delighted and warmly smiled: "Yu Bin, it's your turn today, is Zhao Gong here?"

  "Zhao is inside watching others read and write, I'll go call him for you." Yu Bin happily let them in.

  "No need, I'll go myself. Yu Bin, has your calligraphy improved recently?" asked Gao Xing with a smile.

  "Of course! The teacher praised me for writing well, so I can take a day off!" Yu Bin smiled and raised his face, very excited.

  With a happy and relieved smile, he patted his shoulder and said: "That's good, you take care of the door, I'm going in!" After speaking, he walked into the courtyard.

  From the outside, this house doesn't seem big, but inside it's spacious and has a unique charm. It turns out that several adjacent houses are connected to form a courtyard, but from the outside, you can't tell.

  Delighted to pass through the two courtyards, I appeared outside a spacious and bright house. From the open window, looking inside, I saw seventeen or eighteen children sitting at their desks, diligently practicing their writing. In the front of the room, a fourteen or fifteen year old boy in a blue robe, with a sturdy appearance, was bent over his desk, writing something with a solemn and serious expression, his face steady and firm as he grasped his brush.

  Delighted, he quietly watched the boy practicing calligraphy, a smile appearing on his face. He was very pleased with Zhao Gou's progress.

  Delighted to imitate and learn from many calligraphy books, this was the method he used to calm his mind after each killing, also for cultivating his heart, in order to better cultivate himself.

  Perhaps it was out of respect for his excitement, or perhaps he himself had an extremely high talent. Gaoxing jokingly changed Zhao Dogwa's name to Zhao Gou, and also taught him the calligraphy of Song Dynasty Emperor Zhao Gou in his spare time, the famous thin gold body in history.

  In just three months, Zhao Gou has gone from being illiterate to being able to write in the style of thin gold, only because of his limited age and lack of experience, his pen force is still a bit immature. His rapid growth is inseparable from his serious attitude and hard work when practicing calligraphy.

  A child suddenly found excitement outside the house, just about to call out a greeting, but saw excitement shaking his head at him, so he swallowed his words into his belly, but his movements startled Zhao Gong, who was writing seriously.

  Zhao Gou, who was about to get angry, saw the excitement outside the window and his face lit up with joy. He immediately rushed out and greeted: "Zhao Gou has seen the leader!"

  Delighted, he helped Zhao Gou up and patted his even more robust shoulders, saying: "You've grown even sturdier, not bad."

  "Master, is there anything you'd like to instruct me?" Zhao Gong smiled foolishly and scratched his head.

  "Originally, this matter should have been handed over to Shun, but he is now in charge of gathering intelligence on Chen's military movements and is probably too busy, so we need you to take action!"

  Zhao Gou's eyes lit up and he exclaimed loudly, "Great! Boss! Every time there's a task, I'm never included. Li Feng and Monkey Sun Li went to Ye City, San Gui is also on a secret mission, and Shun Ge is busy every day. Only I'm left here every day, accompanying the kids to practice writing, it's so boring!"

  He eventually furrowed his brow and looked unwilling.

  "Ha! You're just a kid too, alright, stop complaining." Gaoxing's smile vanished from his face as he became unusually serious: "Arrange for people to be stationed on the road from Ye City to Xuyi, closely monitor the movements of all officials traveling south from the Imperial Capital, and report back to me at all times!"

  Zhao Gou was startled and knew that the matter was very important. His face turned serious, and he said loudly: "Don't worry, Master! This is my first mission, I will definitely make it a success!"
