When Zhang Liang heard this, he couldn't help but blush. Everyone looked for prestige, and saw that on the ancient bridge in front of them, at some point, sat an old man with a thin appearance, with silver hair, and the wind blew his wide cloth robe, fluttering like a fairy.

Sister Hu Ling'er saw that it was Huang Shigong, and happily walked over to Shi Li and said, "Meet Huang Shigong, Brother Zhang, come here, this is the old man I want to take you to meet." ”

"Meet Huang Shigong in Xia Zhang Liang. Zhang Liang said respectfully.

"Don't come and go, the little old man is not subject to this. As he spoke, he sat on the bridge and shook his legs leisurely.

"Boom" a shoe fell into the water.

"Boy, go down quickly and help the old man pick up his shoes. Shi Gong pointed at Zhang Liang and said.

Uncle Xiang came over and was very angry: "Hey, old man, do you know who he is, and dare to call him as a servant?"

Zhang Liang stopped him and smiled: "He is an elder, I should help with this." He went under the bridge, picked up the shoe, carried it up to the old man, and handed it to him.

Shi Gong stilted his feet: "Put it on for me!" Zhang Liang was a little surprised, and was about to get angry, when Ling'er gave him a look, he had to kneel in front of Shi Gong and carefully put it on for him.

At this moment, the old man's legs shook, and he deliberately dropped another shoe under the bridge, shouting: "Hey, that one fell again, hurry, go and help me pick it up!" Zhang Liang glanced at him, thinking that this old man was not deliberately teasing me, and looked at Ling'er again, but Ling'er signaled him to continue picking it up.

Zhang Liang had no choice but to suppress the anger in his heart, walked off the bridge, picked up the other shoe, and respectfully put it on for Shi Gong.

Shi Gong seemed to be even more proud now, sitting on the bridge, dangling his two legs, this time it was better, both shoes fell under the bridge.

Xiang Bo rushed over and grabbed Zhang Liang: "This old man is careful, don't pay attention to him, let's go!"

Ling'er came over and said, "Help people to the end, how can Brother Zhang give up halfway?"

Zhang Liang thought that what Ling'er said made sense, walked under the bridge again, picked up the shoes, shook off the ash on them, and came back to put them on again for Shi Gong respectfully.

Seeing Zhang Liang so modest, Shi Gong was very satisfied, smiled at Zhang Liang, didn't say a word, got up and left.

Sister Ling'er chased after her, Zhang Liang and Xiang Bo also followed, and after walking for a while, Shi Gong turned around and said to Zhang Liang: "You can teach you, I have the heart to teach you, five days later, before dawn, you come here alone to wait for me." Remember, come alone. ”

He said to Sister Ling'er again: "Your sisters have high understanding, come with me, the little old man has something to say." With that, he got up and floated away, and the Ling'er sisters disappeared.

Zhang Liang looked at the direction in which they disappeared in a daze, only to see that the twilight was rising, the night was crowded, and even a shadow could not be seen.

Five days later, when the rooster crowed, Zhang Liang hurried to the bridge. Who knew that Shi Gong deliberately came to the bridge in advance, and was already waiting at the bridgehead at the moment, seeing Zhang Liang coming, he reprimanded angrily: "Make an appointment with the old man, why is it wrong, how can this work, come back in five days and wait for me early!" Zhang Liang felt very strange about Shi Gong's behavior, but he still saluted respectfully and said, "Yes!"

After five days, Zhang Liang got up before the fourth watch, lifted the lantern, stepped on the wild grass, and went straight to the bridge. When he arrived at the bridge, Zhang Liang wiped the sweat on his forehead, saw that there seemed to be no one on the bridge, and breathed a long sigh of relief. Suddenly, there was a sparse footstep sound under the bridge, Zhang Liang was startled, and saw Shi Gong walking up from under the bridge; Shi Gong said even more angrily: "Why are you late again, where is this young man's appearance, come a little earlier in five days." Zhang Liang hurriedly apologized in fear: "I'm sorry, I'm late again, please give me another chance!" Shi Gong snorted, turned around and left.

On the fourth day, Zhang Liang thought that he couldn't be late this time no matter what, and he would sleep on the bridge tonight and wait for Shi Gong. Zhang Liang walked silently on the bridge, counting the stars in the sky. When the day was about to dawn, Zhang Liang heard footsteps and knew that it was Shi Gong coming, so he immediately turned over and stood up and waited. After a while, Shi Gong staggered over. Zhang Liang hurriedly stepped forward to support Shi Gong, Shi Gong saw that Zhang Liang had arrived early, and finally showed a kind smile on his face, and praised: "Young people should be like this!" Zhang Liang hurriedly said: "Don't hide it from Shi Gong, I'm afraid of oversleeping, I slept here last night and waited for you!"

Shi Gong slowly sat down on the bridge and said with a smile: "Do you know why I tested you three or five times?" Zhang Liang shook his head.

Shi Gong smiled: "I know the big things you have done, I also know your ambition and current mood, do you know why you failed?" Zhang Liang shook his head again.

Shi Gong said again: "That's because you are in a hurry, you don't judge the situation, you don't see the general trend of the world; after you make a desperate bet, you are discouraged, and it is naturally difficult to achieve great things; you see that although the water under the bridge is weak, but it can be turbulent when it flows into the sea, you must have the wisdom to move with the trend, and you must have the endurance to wear the dripping stone." As long as you can recognize the general trend and move with the trend, what can't you do?

Zhang Liang was pleasantly surprised: "There is still hope for what I want to do?" The old man stroked his beard and smiled: "The people of the world have hated Qin for a long time, Qin's foundation seems to be stable, but in fact it has been crumbling, within ten years, the world will be in chaos, and the heroes will rise everywhere, your career is not over, but just begun." ”

Zhang Liang knelt on the ground in admiration: "Thank you Shi Gong for your advice, I wonder if Shi Gong can accept Zhang Liang as an apprentice and make a great cause?"

Huang Shigong smiled: "Come to Huangshi Mountain to find me in five days." With that, he brushed his sleeves and left.

Zhang Liang returned to his residence, found a very hidden residence for Xiang Bo, and told him to be careful in everything and wait for the opportunity to move.

Five days later, Zhang Liang came to Huangshi Mountain, only to see that the mountain was extremely steep, the general trend was grand, and the peaks and peaks were continuous; the grass in front of the cliff was beautiful, and the plum fragrance was on the ridge; the birds were crying in the green bamboo, and the golden pheasants were fighting among the strange wild flowers; the thorny forest was dense, and the Zhilan was faintly green; and I saw those strange flowers and plants fighting on the top of the mountain, which was really pleasing to the eye.

From the edge of the winding stream, a handsome woman walked elegantly and smartly, looking at the familiar figure, Zhang Liang's heart rejoiced, and when he looked at it, it was indeed Ling'er. Zhang Liang couldn't help but speed up his pace, and shouted in surprise: "Ling'er, did Huangshi Gong send you to pick me up?"

Ling'er greeted him with a smile: "Exactly, let's go see his old man." ”

Zhang Liang followed Ling'er along the stream and saw a mountain villa, in front of which were towering ancient trees, barren vines, a path, clusters of wild flowers on both sides, and green bamboos, crossing the stone bridge, and coming to the village.

Ling'er took him to the main hall, Zhang Liang knelt down and kowtowed three times and said, "Thank you master for guiding the disciple and allowing the disciple to be reborn." ”

Huang Shigong smiled and said: "As a teacher, there are three strange books: "Taigong Three Strategies", "Plain Book", and "The Art of the Son of Heaven", I don't know which one you want to learn?"

"I don't know what is the difference between these three books, and the disciple would like to hear them in detail?" Zhang Liang asked.

"The Three Strategies of the Taigong is a book of the art of war, the Book of Plain is the book of yin and yang predictions, and the Art of the Son of Heaven is the way of the emperor?" replied the Taigong.

Ling'er walked behind Taigong lightly, slapped Taigong's back and said with a smile: "It's better for Taigong to give all three books to Brother Zhang!"

Zhang Liang shook his head and said: "The disciple doesn't dare to be greedy, the disciple only needs the master to pass on the "Taigong Three Strategies". ”

Ling'er said delicately: "Brother Zhang is a genius in the world, Ling'er is willing to ask Taigong to plan for the world and teach him two more books, so that he can realize his life's ambition and destroy the tyrannical Qin!"

Taigong laughed loudly, not knowing what book he was going to pass on to Zhang Liang.
