Yours truly, Ouyang Feng

Chapter 87 Chapter 87, Sunflower Eunuch

Huang Yaoshi's sudden action almost made Ouyang Feng doubt his mental state. He looked at him with a bit of confusion and worry.

"Brother Ouyang, my finger-snapping ability has been perfected!"

Huang Yaoshi was in high spirits:
"Inspired by the hidden weapon skill you mentioned, Brother Ouyang, I have figured out a few more key points. Not only has my finger-snapping skill become more powerful, but it is even more powerful than I originally thought! It is definitely one of the best finger skills in the world, and it is in no way inferior to the 'One Yang Finger' of the Dali Duan family, which has been famous in the martial arts world for hundreds of years!"

Ouyang Feng looked strange:
"It's only been less than an incense stick of time, right?"

Huang Yaoshi smiled and said:
"It's more than one stick of incense. I have been studying and developing the finger-snapping magic for several years, and I have completed most of it, only lacking some heat. The finger-snapping hidden weapon skill that Brother Ouyang just mentioned is just the last bit of fuel for me to add to the final heat."

Ouyang Feng asked: "So, you started to create merit when you were eleven or twelve years old?"

"I can't help it. I don't have a proper master. I only learned some basic martial arts from a few martial arts masters in the boxing gym. The secret manuals I got by chance are only fragments. I can only think hard and try to fill them in myself."

Huang Yaoshi spoke in a calm tone, but there was a hint of pride and complacency in his eyes.

He is indeed an all-round and extraordinary academic master.

If he had not studied so many different things and delved deeply into each one, if he had been willing to spend all his time and energy on Taoist Canon, he might have been able to create a peerless magical skill like Huang Shang created the Nine Yin Scriptures.

Ouyang Feng secretly sighed in admiration and asked:

"How powerful is the current 'Finger of Magic'?"

Huang Yaoshi smiled slightly, put his middle finger on his thumb, and flicked it lightly.

Boo!
There was a sound of breaking air, and although there were clearly no pellets such as beans or stones on his fingers, the bow in front of him exploded with a "puff" sound, and a piece of wood chips was blown out, leaving a hole the size of a peanut.

"Telekinesis?"

Ouyang Feng raised his eyebrows, "How far can it hit?"

Huang Yaoshi looked modest:
"When you first master this skill, you can only hit four or five feet. If you practice for a few more years, your finger techniques will be more sophisticated, and your skills will be more profound, maybe you can hit more than ten feet?"

"Not bad!" Ouyang Feng nodded in praise, "You can have such power with your finger force from a distance. Even with your current skill, if you use projectiles, it will be no problem to break through heavy armor within ten steps."

Huang Yaoshi smiled and said:
"Thanks to Brother Ouyang for the tip. Otherwise, I don't know how long it would take me to create this magical power of snapping fingers, and the power would be much weaker."

After that, he started talking about the finger techniques of "Finger Magic", the essence of exerting force, and methods of training finger strength.

The martial arts he talked about was indeed much more sophisticated than the "Finger of Magic" that Ouyang Feng had demonstrated before. It was a truly enhanced and upgraded version, and its power was at least 50% greater than the original version.

Don't underestimate this 50% improvement. The original Finger Magic was already a finger skill as famous as the "One Yang Finger". With another 50% improvement, Ouyang Feng felt that it already had the potential to compete with the "Six Meridians Divine Sword".

Ouyang Feng wrote down this enhanced and upgraded secret method and said with a smile:
"I have to pass on your kung fu to Sister Lin."

Huang Yaoshi smiled and waved his hand, "I have received so many benefits from you and Miss Lin, just pass them on to her."

Ouyang Feng smiled but didn't say thank you.

There was no need for him and Huang Yaoshi to be polite when exchanging martial arts.

……

Later, Ouyang Feng and Huang Yaoshi moved into the Yuyang Gang's village.

The Seven Freaks of Jiangnan and Wang Wu drove away the thugs who stayed behind in the village, collected and sealed up the property in the village, and cleaned up the village. Seeing that it was getting late, they invited Ouyang Feng and Huang Yaoshi to stay with them temporarily.

Ouyang Feng and Huang Yaoshi simply decided to teach the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan in this village.

So that evening, after dinner, Ouyang Feng began to teach them the dynamic exercises of the Yi Jin Tang Gu chapter.

In the following days, Ouyang Feng continued to teach the Qi Weirdos Yijinduangu Pian dynamic exercises, and also taught Ke Zhenwu how to use a staff and hidden weapons, Zhu Cong how to use a palm and grab, Han Baoju how to use a whip and light skills, Nan Xiren how to use a gun and fists, and Zhang Asheng how to use a knife and horizontal training. Even Quan Jinfa, who used a scale bar as a weapon, was taught by Ouyang Feng how to use a short stick and a meteor hammer.

Huang Yaoshi is proficient in all eighteen kinds of weapons, and so is Ouyang Feng.

It's just that he is more proficient in using swords, maces, whips, spears, hammers, bows and arrows and other combat weapons, and his swordsmanship is slightly inferior, at least certainly not as good as Lin Chaoying and Huang Yaoshi.

Therefore, Han Xiaoying's swordsmanship and martial arts skills were taught individually by Huang Yaoshi.

The little girl could play with Ke Zhen'e and others, and when she was four or five years old she could play with her teenage brothers. Of course, she was also stubborn and had a strange personality, but she was very sweet-mouthed, calling them "brother" all the time and that pleased Huang Yaoshi and Ouyang Feng very much.

Ke Zhen'e originally thought that it was a bit rude to call her Seventh Sister, but seeing that Ouyang Feng and Huang Yaoshi seemed more willing to be the little girl's brothers rather than seniors, he just let her be - he felt that these two seniors should also be eccentrics, so they could get along well with the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan.

Even Wang Wu, who was somewhat extreme and ruthless, liked Han Xiaoying. He also got along well with the six monsters who were much younger than him.

After all, the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan not only don't bully the weak, but are also sincere to their friends.

Wang Wu was bullied all the time, and although he looked like a rough and fierce man, he was actually very sensitive inside. He could feel that Ke Zhen'e and his brothers did not flatter him because of his martial arts skills, because with the temperament of the Seven Monsters, they would not flatter anyone because of their martial arts or status, nor would they despise anyone because of it.

They will only associate with friends they like, even if the other person is penniless and does not know martial arts.

They are not afraid to become enemies with any evil person, even if the opponent's martial arts are as powerful as their master's.

These are a group of friends who have strange tempers and behaviors, but are very heartwarming.

Seven days passed by in a flash.

Ouyang Feng and Huang Yaoshi boarded the boat again. Wang Wu stood at the stern, rowing the boat slowly away from the river bank.

Ke Zhen'e and others lined up by the river and bowed deeply to the boat.

Although it was only seven days, they also knew what a great opportunity they had gained.

After only seven days of practicing the dynamic exercise called "Yi Jin Duan Gu Pian", it not only greatly improved their muscle and bone strength, but also made their internal strength more powerful and pure.

Their martial arts skills also improved by leaps and bounds under the guidance of Ouyang Feng and Huang Yaoshi. Compared with seven days ago, they have really undergone a complete transformation.

Wait until the boat gradually goes away.

Han Xiaoying suddenly jumped onto Zhang Asheng's shoulder and waved at Xiaozhou:

"Brother Ouyang, Brother Huang, please come visit us more often in the future! I will pick lotus seeds and catch fresh fish for you!"

On the boat, Huang Yaoshi's clear laughter was heard, and Ouyang Feng also smiled.

Even Wang Wu's ferocious face showed a warm smile.

……

Two days later, midnight.

Lin'an Prefecture, in the Forbidden Palace.

Ouyang Feng, Huang Yaoshi, and Wang Wu moved silently, like ghosts, avoiding the heavy guards and passing through the Forbidden Palace.

"Brother Ouyang, what exactly are you looking for?"

"I don't know exactly where it is. I just remember there should be a waterfall. Maybe there are also rockeries, ponds, etc."

Ouyang Feng went to the Lin'an Forbidden Palace to look for Wu Mu's posthumous letter. Although Wu Mu's posthumous letter had been moved to Iron Palm Peak when Wanyan Honglie and his men came to look for it many years later, Ouyang Feng did not know exactly when it was moved. Iron Palm Peak was in Hunan, and Lin'an was not far from Jiaxing, so he went to Lin'an to look for it first.

It would be best if we can find it, but even if it's empty, that's fine, we can just go to Iron Palm Peak to look for it.

"A waterfall in the palace? That's easy to find. Let me take a look."

Huang Yaoshi leaped onto the roof of a palace, looked around for a while, then jumped down and pointed in a direction:

"Go that way."

"You see the waterfall?"

"No. But according to the geomancy of Lin'an Palace, if there is a waterfall, it should be there."

Ouyang Feng knew nothing about this and had no say in it, so he had no choice but to follow Huang Yaoshi's instructions.

Before they knew it, they had passed several palaces and could smell the aroma of food coming from the front. When they looked over, they found that they were near the imperial kitchen.

When seeing the imperial chef, Ouyang Feng thought of Hong Qi. It seemed that Hong Qi had stolen delicious food from the imperial kitchen of Lin'an Palace?
Thinking of this, Ouyang Feng said to Huang Yaoshi:

"You haven't had supper yet, why not go and try the emperor's food?"

Huang Yaoshi said, "What's so good about the food in the imperial kitchen? They are all prepared long ago and kept hot in the steamer. This way, the emperor and the concubines, princes, and princesses in the palace can eat hot dishes at any time, but none of them are fresh. No matter how good the ingredients are, the texture and taste are just mediocre. I heard that many dishes are reheated over and over again, but no one eats them. In the end, even the eunuchs disliked them and sold them to farmers to feed pigs as urine."

Wang Wu was surprised and asked, "The little eunuch doesn't eat the food prepared by the imperial chef?"

Huang Yaoshi snorted and said sarcastically, "The Emperor of the Zhao family is extremely wealthy. The servants and eunuchs have their own special kitchens to eat. They either go to famous restaurants outside the palace to eat stir-fried dishes. Who would be willing to eat steamed dishes that have been heated over and over again?"

Wang Wu shook his head repeatedly, expressing his disbelief.

Ouyang Feng smiled and said, "Even if it doesn't taste good, I've never tasted the royal meal in my life, so I'll give it a try."

"Aren't you the Duke of Gaochang?"

"Gaochang is vast and sparsely populated, and the soil is barren. How can it compare to the rich resources of the Central Plains? The king's food may not be as good as that of the rich families in the Song Dynasty, let alone the high officials and nobles in the palace."

As he spoke, he was already walking towards the imperial kitchen.

Of course Wang Wu hurried to catch up with his master. Huang Yaoshi shook his head helplessly and had to follow him.

It was already midnight and all the people working in the imperial kitchen had dispersed. Only a few young eunuchs remained in the kitchen, waiting for the nobles from the palace to send someone to fetch meals at any time.

However, at this time, most of the nobles in the palace had already gone to bed and would not send anyone to the imperial kitchen to get food, so the young eunuchs could all doze off without worry, and each of them slept soundly.

Ouyang Feng added a little sleeping-aid powder to them so that they could sleep better. Then he, Huang Yaoshi and Wang Wu opened the steamers one by one, took out plates of various dishes, found chopsticks, bowls and plates, and started to devour the food.

The food in the Western Regions was really far inferior to that in the Middle Earth. Even with Ouyang Feng's family background, he could only guarantee enough meat, enough rice and flour, wine to drink, and pickled vegetables to go with the rice. As for the variety of ingredients, cooking methods, and even the types of condiments, they were all crushed by the Middle Earth.

When I was in Huashan before, I also lived on the mountain and ate simple meals. After that, I went to Songshan and came to Song Dynasty, and I didn’t eat in a restaurant very often.

Therefore, Ouyang Feng ate with gusto the imperial chef's meal that was despised by Huang Yaoshi. He felt that it was the first time for him to eat such delicious food since he traveled through time.

Even Ouyang Feng thought it was a delicacy, let alone Wang Wu, who ate it voraciously with his eyes shining and his mouth full of oil.

Huang Yaoshi didn't want to eat much at first, but seeing Ouyang Feng and Wang Wu eating so happily, he couldn't help but eat a few more chopsticks. He felt that the food from the imperial kitchen was not as bad as the legend said.

It turns out that rumors cannot be fully trusted.

After eating and drinking their fill, the three of them rested for a while, cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, fiddled with the dishes in the steamer for a while, and then left the imperial kitchen to continue looking for the waterfall.

Huang Yaoshi’s geomancy skills were quite good. After he left the imperial kitchen and passed by two palaces, he indeed heard the sound of water.

Following the sound of water, we walked forward in a short while and saw a magnificent palace with a plaque on it that read "Cui Han Hall". Not far from Cui Han Hall was a silver waterfall with a pond below it where lotus flowers and lotus pods grew.

"found it!"

Seeing the waterfall, Ouyang Feng's eyes lit up. He strode over, stood opposite the waterfall and looked at it for a while, then jumped over the waterfall. He saw that there was indeed a cave behind the waterfall curtain and a double iron door blocking the cave entrance.

At this time, Huang Yaoshi and Wang Wu also jumped across the waterfall and saw the iron door of the cave. Huang Yaoshi said in surprise:

"Behind the waterfall, there is actually another world! Brother Ouyang, you were born in the Western Regions. This is your first time in the Central Plains, let alone the Lin'an Palace. How did you know about this place?"

Ouyang Feng said calmly: "I traveled to the outer world and got the secrets from heaven."

Huang Yaoshi really believed this - he had followed the method taught by Ouyang Feng, and had opened an altar to pray and refine the "Absorbing Things Talisman". Huang Yaoshi really did not doubt the statement that "the spirits traveled to the sky and got the secrets from heaven by chance" at all.

"Has the secret told you what is hidden behind the iron gate?"

"Maybe it's Yue Wumu's Art of War, or maybe it's empty."

"Yue Wumu's Art of War?"

Huang Yaoshi, who regarded Yue Fei as his idol, suddenly had his eyes light up, and hurried over to study the iron gate:

"If it is really Yue Wumu's Art of War, then we must read it carefully and comprehend it. If the opportunity arises, we must promote it and never let it be disgraced by the small court of Lin'an."

With their skills, they can actually use their palm power to forcefully knock down the iron gate.

However, that would inevitably cause a big noise, and the mechanism of the iron door lock was not complicated. Huang Yaoshi quickly figured out the clue, took out a piece of wire from his own storage talisman, fiddled with it a few times, and easily opened the door lock. With a gentle push, the iron door creaked and opened to both sides.

Ouyang Feng and Huang Yaoshi looked at each other and walked into the cave behind the door. Wang Wu consciously guarded outside the cave.

When the two entered the cave, they saw that the floor was covered with dust, obviously no one had been there for a long time.

In the middle of the cave, there was a solitary stone table, on which sat a two-foot square stone box. Apart from that, the cave was completely empty, with nothing else.

"Is Wu Mu's posthumous letter hidden in the stone box?"

Huang Yaoshi was excited and was about to go forward to take the stone box when he heard Wang Wu shouting outside the cave: "Who?"

Immediately, a slightly surprised and feminine voice sounded:

"Wow, you little bastard are quite capable. The waterfall is so noisy that you even heard me stepping on a fallen leaf... Incredible, really incredible!"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a whistling sound of strong wind and the sound of fists and palms colliding outside. After a few moves, Wang Wu groaned and said angrily: "You used a hidden weapon!"

"How can it be a hidden weapon? This is our weapon. You little bastard, you are so surprised. Have you never seen an embroidery needle used as a weapon? Come on, let me tattoo a little turtle on your face..."

Hearing this, Ouyang Feng looked strange.

Using embroidery needles as weapons can also make Wang Wu suffer...

Sunflower eunuch?
