C15 Just Who Were Schindler and Huang Kun

Wang Kunpeng told Shen Dexu and Huang Kun that there were two elders of the art of deception: Chen Ping and Huang Chang. However, the identities of these two people were different. Chen Ping was the one with the right roots, the upright and honorable descendant of the art of deception. Chen Ping had recorded it very clearly in the《 Records of History》, he was a strategist from Liu Bang's side, giving Liu Bang a lot of unexpected tactics, but even Sima Qian did not explain clearly how he had implemented these plans. It was just that at the end, he quoted a sentence that Chen Ping himself had said:

"My plot is forbidden by the Daoist sects. "My world is useless, and I have already passed on. In the end, I can't rise again, and so I decided to do as many evils as I could."

This was what Wei Liao had warned him before. He had used the knowledge of the art of deception to make Liu Ba rule the world, but he could not use the conspiracy method of the art of deception to govern a country. This was because the art of deception was the dao of the void, so in the end, it could not become a part of the imperial court, and became the imperial court's strategy to rule over the country.

After Chen Ping, there were no records of the art of deception for a long time. Only when the Tang Dynasty's Daoist Sect flourished did the powerful descendants of the art of deception appear. However, the real clue that the record of the art of deception's successor was related to Huang Chang in Song Dynasty.

However, Huang Chang was not a legitimate descendant of the art of deception, and was only in name.

After hearing Wang Kunpeng's narration, Shen Dexu asked, "All that you have said are extremely secretive matters, and no one should know about them other than the art of deception. This means that there must be a great upheaval coming. "

Wang Kunpeng said: "Yes, this is heaven's will right? Coincidentally, the matter about the iron anchor has dragged the both of you into this."

"You must know my identity very well," Shen Dexu said as he pointed at Huang Kun. "But he is still a student."

Wang Kunpeng looked at Huang Kun and said: "Among his people from Huang Family, the one and only thing that I used to fear from him was Xiu Mountain."

"Are our Huang Family that powerful?" Huang Kun said, "I never knew."

"Do you look down on Huang Xi?" Wang Kunpeng said, "Indeed, after Huang Lianqing's death, his Huang Family began to weaken, but after his Huang Family flourished for a few hundred years, it wasn't as smooth as everyone thought. Huang Xi is more promising than you think."

The Huang Xi that Wang Kunpeng was talking about, was Huang Kun's cousin, the Patriarch of Huang Family in Xiu Mountain. Huang Kun also understood that Wang Kunpeng definitely knew his background. His grandfather and Huang Lianqing did not have a good relationship, and had already left the Xiu Mountain many years ago, arriving at the Changyang to become a normal sorcerer, until his death.

"What exactly is the conflict between my grandfather and Huang Lianqing?" Huang Kun asked.

"This is the reason why I called you here," Wang Kunpeng said. "Your Huang Family and that opponent of mine have a very deep origin, at that time, your grandfather was originally the successor to the Huang Family, and he was worthy of being its successor. It was precisely because of that opponent that I mentioned that caused your grandfather to be driven out of the Xiu Mountain."

Wang Kunpeng cupped his fists towards Huang Kun and Shen Dexu, "Just you wait, the one that should be here will be here soon."

Then, Wang Kunpeng bid his farewell to Shen Dexu. Huang Kun listened to Wang Kunpeng's long-winded speech, and did not understand what he wanted to say, but the only thing he understood was that Wang Kunpeng was trying to pull him and Shen Dexu into their group to deal with that opponent. From the looks of it, Shen Dexu had agreed to it, but he did not know how to deal with it.

Huang Kun left hydrology and returned to school. He was a student of the Water Academy at the Three Gorges University. Other than knowing that his grandfather was a local sorcerer, he did not know anything else regarding the matters of the family. He was determined to train him into a normal person.

Huang Kun's specialty was in water conservancy and hydroelectric engineering, so the course he studied could be said to be more intuitive, which was to specialize in the construction of hydroelectric plants. According to his path of life, he would study for three years, or even four years before he would go to the southwest of China and build a hydroelectric power station in a mountain range. He would start with a technician, become an engineer, and then complete his work. He had worked hard all his life, but he didn't have to worry about food or clothing.

However, Huang Kun did not expect that yesterday afternoon, during class time, a person would suddenly come. Without saying anything, he brought him to the Yanzhi Dam section of the Yangtze River and boarded a barge there. The following matter, had already been explained earlier. He was inexplicably called the successor of the Huang Family 'Water Repellent Talisman'. Then, he was nagged by the leader called Shen Dexu and the mysterious Wang Kunpeng for a long time. A lot of history.

Huang Kun pondered for a long time inside the room, and when he thought back to his grandfather's matter, he really couldn't recall anything extraordinary about him. He was just a normal sorcerer, living by pretending to be mysterious and trick others. At his grandfather's funeral, he did indeed know that his ancestral home was Chongqing Xiu Mountain, because there were a few people from Huang Family's old house coming to offer their condolences, and the one leading them, should be Huang Xi. had never seen them before, but he knew about the roots of these seniors from the older generation through Wang Kunpeng's mouth yesterday.

It was only now that Huang Kun realized that his clan was truly extraordinary. It was very possible that this family was truly a Warlock family, and was very famous. Even important figures like Shen Dexu and Wang Kunpeng had spread their word of it.

The more Huang Kun thought about it, the more confused he became. He directly called his father, and asked who his grandfather really was, and as expected, his father was very rude and scolded him a few times. His father was still as annoyed as ever about him mentioning these things. His father had been a substitute teacher all his life and was extremely disgusted with ghosts and deities. His relationship with his grandfather had always been poor.

Huang Kun knew that his father wouldn't be able to get anything out of him, so he put this matter aside. But Huang Kun did not expect that from today onwards, his life path had already changed and he would never be able to become a hydroelectric engineer. However, his future work would still be related to water, and it would only be in a different way.

During the night, Huang Kun could not fall asleep at all. He had just fallen asleep when his classmates who went out to eat supper came back, waking him up. After all these classmates had gone to sleep, he could no longer fall asleep. After enduring for a few hours, he finally managed to enter a dream-like state.

But when he fell asleep, he began to dream about the barge he had seen on the Yangtze River yesterday. The barge that had suddenly appeared after a few decades had disappeared. In the dream, the barge did not disappear immediately. He quietly floated in front of Huang Kun, and then Huang Kun saw the sailors on the boat operating the winch on the ship. The rope on the winch was stretched tight, and it seemed like they were salvaging a heavy object.

In the dream, Huang Kun felt that time was passing by very slowly, so he could clearly see the rope around the winch slowly pulling something up. Although in his dreams, Huang Kun could still vaguely remember that they should be trying to salvage an iron anchor — This was also the reason why Shen Dexu wanted him to go.

However, what Huang Kun saw in his dreams was not an iron anchor but a gigantic python corpse. He then saw that the sailors on the boat were panicking and were running around on the deck, but Huang Kun could not hear their shouts. He could clearly see that these people were shouting, but he could not hear a single thing.

What made Huang Kun even more baffled was that all the sailors on the boat were shouting for him. From the looks of it, they were probably shouting for help!

Only now did Huang Kun realize where he should be standing.

Then, Huang Kun wanted to move, but he couldn't. Suddenly, he saw the python's body, which was pulled up by the winch. The sailors on the deck were scared silly, each clutching whatever could be fixed on the barge.

In his dreams, Huang Kun suddenly understood that the thing they were salvaging was not an iron anchor, but a Flood Dragon. These sailors alarmed the flood dragon.

The following dream was even more terrifying. Huang Kun watched as the barge slowly sank into the river. The process of sinking was extremely long, and Huang Kun could even see the fear and despair on the sailor's face.

What caused Huang Kun to be even more afraid was that he realized that he had a nightmare, but he was still unable to shake it.

When the entire barge sank below the surface of the river, a huge whirlpool appeared. Then, Huang Kun suddenly realised that he was standing on the large ship from last night, with Shen Dexu and Wang Kunpeng by his side. Afterwards, the sailors who had drowned to death suddenly climbed up the deck from the side of the ship. Huang Kun was extremely terrified, instinctively calling out to Shen Dexu and Wang Kunpeng for help, but Huang Kun did not even make a single sound. The deck was filled with broken heads, then shoulders, then body, these sailors who had drowned to death all climbed up onto the deck.

These corpses slowly moved across the deck as they climbed towards Huang Kun. Huang Kun saw white eels crawling out of the corpses of the dead bodies. White eels were the fish that ate human flesh from the Yangtze River, and now, the white eel had left the belly of the corpses and was jumping around on the deck.

Huang Kun started to feel disgusted, but Shen Dexu and Wang Kunpeng who were by his side did not notice anything. Huang Kun was unable to endure this strange dream anymore. He started to twitch his body to wake up, but his body was still not under his control. He looked at these corpses, and slowly moved to his feet. Huang Kun was about to collapse.

Just at this moment, Huang Kun heard someone shout, "What's wrong, what's wrong, who knocked over the bucket? Why is there so much water in the room?!"

This voice saved Huang Kun from a nightmare.
