"Huh? Isn't that the newly appointed eunuch Wang?"
"Yes, it's Admiral Wang. Why is he here?"
"And why is he still kneeling on the ground?"
Not long after, several eunuchs passed by.
When they saw Wang Jin kneeling on the ground, they all looked at him with doubt.
According to their thinking, the other party had just taken up the position of the governor of the Imperial Household Department and was in high spirits.
But now, he was kneeling in front of a dilapidated courtyard, which was hard to understand.
"Don't you know?" At this time, one of the young eunuchs spoke mysteriously, "I heard from the old people in the palace that there is an old eunuch in this courtyard. It is said that he has very strong martial arts skills and is the guardian of the palace."
"It is said that during the reign of the previous emperor, everyone respected that ancestor very much, but it seems that no one has ever seen him."
"And Eunuch Wang also has the idea of learning martial arts in his heart, and he comes back here to kneel every now and then."
After hearing this, everyone suddenly realized that they had also heard such rumors.
But it has always been treated as a joke.
No one believed it.
Because the so-called eunuch ancestor has always been mentioned by others.
I also thought, if there really was such a person, how could he live in such a shabby yard?
But he didn't expect that Wang Jin believed it and just knelt there without any problem.
If it had happened before, some eunuchs present would have chosen to step forward and laugh at Wang Jin's wishful thinking.
But things are different now. The other party is now the governor of the Imperial Household Department, and everyone only stayed for a short time and then left.
Wang Jin actually noticed this, but was not affected by it.
Still kneeling on the ground, straighten your back and waist.
His expression was as firm as ever.
And time just passes by bit by bit.
It was not until two hours later that Wang Jin frowned slightly and looked embarrassed.
It’s not that he doesn’t want to continue kneeling, but according to the time, it’s already the Chou hour.
In another hour, His Majesty the Emperor will get up, and we need to go and serve him, otherwise there will definitely be problems.
Wang Jin was well aware that the position of Chief Eunuch of the Imperial Household Department was under scrutiny by countless people within the palace. If he made a mistake, he would be attacked by everyone. He had just taken on the position and his foundation was unstable, so he was most afraid of this.
Therefore, he decided to kneel for another half an hour. If there was no movement, he would come tomorrow.
Squeaky~
That is when it happened.
The gate of the dilapidated courtyard suddenly opened.
Wang Jin was shocked and his eyes widened.
Since I was seven years old, I heard that there was an old ancestor with unparalleled martial arts skills in this courtyard.
Almost whenever he has time, he would come here and kneel, just to practice martial arts and change his destiny.
But things went against our wishes. More than ten years passed and there was no movement except for the spider webs that continued to form.
Later, even Wang Jin felt that the rumors were false and there was no one inside.
I thought that if there was someone there, they would definitely be moved by my sincerity, right?
So I come here less and less often.
But today, after being promoted by His Majesty the Emperor.
His desire to learn martial arts was rekindled and he decided to give it another try.
I thought it was still the same as before, but I didn’t expect that this old door was actually opened!
The rumors...are true!
Wang Jin was so excited that his whole body was shaking.
At this time, a young eunuch in cotton clothes walked out from the open door. The young eunuch was unusually feminine, with light steps, and in the dark of night, he looked like a ghost.
He stopped in front of the gate, glanced at Wang Jin, and then said, "The ancestor asked you to come in."
After saying this, the young eunuch in cotton clothes turned around and walked back to the courtyard again.
Upon hearing this, Wang Jin stood up without any hesitation.
And when he just stepped into the yard.
All I heard was a bang, and the door closed tightly, as if it had never been opened.
Is this the method of martial arts?
Wang Jin was thinking in his mind while following the figure in front of him.
The inside of the yard is actually similar to what you see outside, a bit shabby and no one cleans it.
But once he entered the inner hall, the scene was completely different. It was clean and tidy, brightly lit. But for some reason, it felt chilly, and Wang Jin couldn't help but wince as he entered.
"Ancestor, the person has been brought here." The young eunuch in cotton clothes in front spoke softly.
Wang Jin looked at the empty inner hall with a confused look in his eyes.
But the next moment.
A figure suddenly appeared.
In just a blink of an eye, he was sitting in the first seat in the inner hall.
The person who came was an old eunuch with white hair, a withered body and wrinkled skin.
The old eunuch was wearing a loose grey robe, his eyes were cloudy and his back was bent. If I had to describe it, he looked like a corpse that had just crawled out of a coffin.
Even though Wang Jin had been working in the palace for so many years, he couldn't help but feel nervous when he saw the other person.
But he understood that the person in front of him was the one he had been looking for!
He immediately knelt on his knees and said, "Ancestor, I want to practice martial arts!"
After saying this, Wang Jin kowtowed heavily.
I have shown my sincerity.
Seeing this, the old eunuch slowly raised his head and said in a hoarse voice: "How can you be sure that I will teach you?"
"Since the ancestor opened the door and allowed me to enter the yard, I will not refuse." Wang Jin was very smart. He knew that from the moment the door was opened, the matter of learning martial arts was accomplished.
"That's right." The old eunuch nodded without refutation, but continued, "Then do you know why I should teach you?"
This question stumped Wang Jin. In fact, he was also very confused.
It was obvious that he came to kneel in front of the yard every few days in recent years.
