"Did you hear, a while ago, the family of Lord Sun, the servant of the household department, was robbed."

"How can you not know, not only the family of Lord Sun, but also the family of Lord Zhou of the Ministry of Rites, the family of Lord Ruan of the Ministry of Industry, and even the family of Lord Qin of the Ministry of War have also been robbed."

"Hey, even Lord Qin's family has been robbed?"

"Don't believe it, I was on an errand in the military department in the same year as the township, and he said that after Lord Qin entered the government in those days, his whole face was black, and he was really scared to death.

It's just that Lord Qin knew about military affairs in his early years, and it is said that he always likes to drink a little wine and dance with a knife and gun for a while in the mansion on weekdays, so his family is estimated to have no face to say it after being robbed, but the people from the Department of Public Security have been to the Ministry of War to inquire. ”

"Then it's a big deal."

"I heard from above, even His Majesty was alarmed."

"Even Your Majesty was alarmed?"

"That's not it, our Chang'an City has always been a peaceful realm, not to mention that there is no petty theft and favoritism, but over the years, it has been an overall Antai situation, and now there are so many adults whose mansions have been robbed, and the matter is already big. I have heard that His Majesty has strictly ordered Master Di to solve the case within a time limit. ”

"Isn't Lord Di's head big now? How could a thief who dared to attack a series of adult mansions be ordinary people? ”

"This is not something we should think about, anyway, we are also marginal people in our respective yamen, and we are not the target of those thieves.

Lord Di has a headache, so he will have a headache for Lord Di, so he drank this bowl of soup quickly, and then entered the Six Arts Gallery Gao Lego later. ”

"That's, that's, that's right, by the way, I'll have to buy another mask after I go in later, can't I save those two taels of silver, Brother Xue, who also came here last time when we had a small gathering a while ago, do you remember?"

"Remember, how is he?"

"He was competing with a person for a ranking in the Six Arts Pavilion, and he got angry, but he turned around and found that the other party was his chief official."

"Hahaha, it's extreme, I'll buy one later, just be prepared."

The two young officials quickly got up and left, and behind them sat a young man with a hat upside down on the table to help block most of the view in front of him.

"Do you have a headache?"

The man poked his forehead lightly with one hand, and stirred the spoon with the other, stirring up the last bit of soup and putting it into his mouth.

"No headache right away."

The next target of the theft gang has been determined, and the next step is to wait for a day to close the net.

Di Renjie put the checkout money on the table,

Instead, he took a blue mask from his bosom and covered it over his face.

This mask is produced by the Six Arts Museum, which can not only hide the face, but also hide the breath of the user.

As soon as the hat flew and hung on the flagpole of the stall, the stall owner who was busy turned his head and nodded with a smile, this guest officer would store the hat here like this every time, and the host and guest had long been accustomed to it.

forthwith

Di Renjie got up.

Perhaps, few people would have expected that Lord Di, the magistrate of Chang'an City, who should have been in the whirlpool of the emperor's strict orders, would actually enter the Six Arts Pavilion to seek recreation.

……

"Guest, please."

There are many waiters at the door of the Six Arts Pavilion, and they respectfully take a crystal card from the guest's hand, which stores some information about the guest, and then puts it into the mouth of a row of stone lions at the door, which marks the guest entering the Six Arts Pavilion, and its corresponding identity ranking will also be lit up.

At the same time, the stone lion will also emit corresponding light, from low to high is red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple;

Each light corresponds to the ranking of the guests, and the waiter will give the guests the corresponding services and certain privileges in the Six Arts Pavilion according to this.

This is also the reason why the Six Arts Museum can become bigger and stronger, here, do not look at the status of the status or whether the cost is generous, purely look at your ranking, that is, your strength, but thus give the Six Arts Museum a continuous attraction, even if the dignitaries and nobles who come and go here can not enjoy the ranking in other places on weekdays, but they are still happy here.

Everyone is competing for their own stage rankings here, and they are excited that they can go further;

Like-minded people can choose to show their true faces to make friends here, or they can become confidants without knowing each other's identities while wearing masks, and discuss the experience of competing for the rankings together;

In the huge city of Chang'an, this is a rare piece of pure land, so people are even more fascinated by the atmosphere here.

When Di Renjie's crystal plate was sent into the mouth of the stone lion by the waiter, the stone lion immediately released a purple light, and the word "black shadow" also appeared on the stone lion's head, which is the name that the guests chose for themselves in the Six Arts Museum.

The light here startled many guests around for a while;

Purple means that the holder must be in the top ten on the overall leaderboard, and it can be said that it is the top group of existences in the Six Arts Gallery.

Because of this, many people can't help but feel a little regretful that this "great power" wears a mask in the Six Arts Pavilion, which makes it impossible for them to get a glimpse of their true face.

But if you want to come outside, you shouldn't be an unknown person.

"Please."

The waiter led Di Renjie directly into the Six Arts Pavilion, without having to go through queues and security checks.

None of the guests in the queue showed dissatisfaction, after all, they had the strength.

The Six Arts Hall is a very large place, and to a certain extent, it can be called the essence of Chang'an's organ art.

It's just that

When Di Renjie stood in the hall and looked up at the ranking list hanging above, he was slightly surprised.

The six arts of the Six Arts Museum correspond to the six arts of the gentleman, namely etiquette, music, archery, royalty, calligraphy, and mathematics.

Among them, the gift is the list;

The next five, each of which corresponds to a specific sport.

A while ago, because of the frequent theft cases against dignitaries in Chang'an, Di Renjie didn't come to the Six Arts Museum for a while, but he ranked first in the sub-lists of archery, royalty, and mathematics, and although he was not the first in music and books, he was also in the top ten.

Therefore, on the overall list, he was ranked first in the overall ranking.

But now, his name "Black Shadow" is in second place, and the first is "Blue Bird".

At this time, the name "Blue Bird" and his "Black Shadow" were all lit up on the list, proving that the person "Blue Bird" was still in the Six Arts Hall at this time.

The list of the Six Arts Museum will be refreshed according to the changes of the "spring, summer, autumn and winter" season every year, but the new season has not yet come, so the record score I set a while ago on the list is still there;

In other words, "Blue Bird" surpassed his previous record and ranked ahead of himself on the overall list.

"It's kind of interesting."

Di Renjie was not angry about the fact that he was surpassed, a pool of stagnant competition meant boring and boring, he was actually looking forward to the appearance of a challenger.

The waiter on the side took the initiative to speak;

"This 'Blue Bird' was created the day after you won the first place last time, and it took three days to surpass you on the honor list."

Di Renjie glanced at the waiter who had just finished speaking, and the waiter only felt that the other party's gaze through the mask made his whole person tremble, as if his inner careful thoughts had been completely seen through by him, and he immediately lowered his head.

As a side of the Six Arts Pavilion, of course, they hope that this kind of competition can become more and more fierce, especially this kind of competition for the top spot on the list, which can attract extremely high popularity, so they can't help but have a little ...... "provoke" in their words.

Di Renjie walked to the front of the list alone and checked the list under the total list.

found that the "Blue Bird" ranked first on the "Book" list and the "Music" list, and in addition, he also surpassed himself and won the first place on the "shooting" list, relying on this, he surpassed himself in the overall list.

"Let's start with the shooting charts."

In the center of the hall, there is a moving iron ball, like a moving sculpture, and around the iron ball, there are circles, and in front of each circle there is a green snake table.

The green snake is crowned with a lotus flower on its head, which is divided into five colors, corresponding to music, archery, royal, calligraphy, and number.

Di Renjie put his crystal plate into the lotus crown carved by the green snake stone in front of him,

A glimmer of light,

Followed by

A puppet was peeled off from the central iron ball and floated in front of Di Renjie.

"Dear guest, I am ......"

A lengthy self-introduction, narration, and explanation of the rules are about to begin.

But regular customers will simply choose to say their requirements to skip this dull part.

"The challenge is more difficult than the first one on the list, and now begins."

The puppet closed its mouth,

Shaoqing,

Opening:

"Dear guest, your rank meets the qualifications to challenge this difficulty, and now we will begin to teleport you to the arena."

At the foot of the circle, a circle of guardrails was raised, and then the platform began to fall downward, into the ground, and the place changed back to the circle.

This scene is also happening in other circles, and each guest is transported underground according to the ranking read by his crystal card.

Above the Fang Market, there is a building in the Six Arts Pavilion;

And below the Fang City, there are all the Six Arts Pavilions, here, there are a series of arenas, the scale is incomparably grand.

Di Renjie was teleported into one of the arenas;

At the entrance, there is a set of bows and arrows, of course, guests can bring their own without using the bows and arrows provided by the Six Arts Museum.

Di Renjie didn't take the bow and arrow there, and officially walked into it.

"Competitive challenge, begin."

The ground in front of Di Renjie began to fall high and low, the road became rugged, and there was cover everywhere, and then, one after another, the figures of the machine holding bows and arrows began to flash rapidly.

In the lowest level of the "shooting" arena, these traps stand still and let you shoot, and earn points based on distance and hit rate to convert into rankings;

And what Di Renjie is facing now is almost the most difficult machine man "shooting" arena.

Not only do they move quickly and show incredible skills, but they also use their bows and arrows to fight back.

It's just that the bow and arrow are made of special crystal powder, which will dissolve on its own when it touches the human body, but it will leave a mark, which also means that the challenger has failed this round.

Di Renjie stood there quietly and closed his eyes, at this time, his eyes could no longer give enough information about his surroundings.

In the palm of his left hand, a dart belonging to him has appeared.

In fact, his weapon is a token, but the token is easy to reveal his identity, so in the Six Arts Museum, he has always chosen to use darts.

finally

The organists took the lead in the attack.

In an instant, seven people shot their bows and arrows at Di Renjie's location, three arrows were aimed directly at Di Renjie, and the other four arrows blocked Di Renjie's position in advance.

Di Renjie's figure did not retreat, but advanced, and three darts were shot, directly canceling out the three arrows of the machine man, and then, more darts flew out.

One

Two

Three.

After this round of confrontation between the two sides ended, three of the seven machine men had been shot, and the machine people who were shot immediately stopped moving, and the remaining four all disappeared into the surrounding environment.

It is true that the Six Arts Workshop is called the crystallization of Chang'an's organ technology, not to mention the huge lower arena of Fang City, the clearest point is that the combat thinking of these agency people has long been out of the conventional dogma, and after realizing that the challenger is "not easy to mess with", they will also choose roundabout and entangled tactics.

Di Renjie looked up at the hourglass hanging above, it was a timer, and the completion time of a competition would also be counted in the score.

Although when he entered this arena, he said to the puppeteer that the difficulty was one level higher than that of "Blue Bird", Di Renjie was very skeptical that there would really be a "higher level", because the last time he brushed the "shooting" list, he came out after playing the so-called highest difficulty.

Therefore, the difficulty of the challenge should be comparable to that of himself, but it should be more than himself in terms of completion time.

Di Renjie didn't hesitate, his body quickly went deep into the obstacles, searching for one mechanism man after another, quickly dodging the machine man's arrows, and then shooting his own dart into the machine man's body.

After the last machine man is shot,

Hourglass still,

The ground is also beginning to return to its original appearance.

The seven traps that had been shot by the darts were neatly pushed in front of Di Renjie for the challenger to retrieve his weapons.

These traps will be sent back to patch and then appear in another arena to compete with other challengers.

Di Renjie walked to the entrance of this arena, and next to the bow and arrow that was placed in the Six Arts Pavilion, there was also a green snake table, and after putting the darts in it, it revealed that the challenger was now ranked on the "shooting" list.

Dark Shadow ——— second place.

Di Renjie was slightly surprised, is he still second?

Look at the first place again, it is still "Blue Bird".

"Then do it again, this time, faster."

Turning around,

Di Renjie entered the arena again.

"Dear guests, will we start the competitive challenge again?"

"On."

"Competitive challenge, begin."

……

In fact, in the hall of the Six Arts Hall above, when the names of "Black Shadow" and "Blue Bird" on the list were lit up, they had already attracted the attention of many people.

Here, many guests can only mess around in the lower ranks, but that doesn't stop them from appreciating the competition from these high-ranking masters.

And in the hall, in a large mirror, there are projections.

A mirror projection is Di Renjie, who is "shooting" the arena, that is, the "black shadow".

The other person who challenged in the mirror was also wearing a mask, but it could still be seen that it was a woman, that is, the "Blue Bird", who was challenging the "Royal" arena, and at this time, she was driving the galloping carriage and was engaged in a fierce confrontation with the carriage driven by the mechanic.

The Six Arts Pavilion obviously knows how to attract the attention of the guests, and specially took out the two first and second places in the overall list as projections, so that the other guests gathered in the hall couldn't help but immerse themselves in it.

Oh, the tea house of the Six Arts Pavilion, but there is a minimum consumption, even the simplest cup of tea is not cheap.

"Look, the speed of the black shadow is so fast!"

"His darts are too accurate."

"Oh my God, this is the most difficult 'shooting' arena, I now think that the machine man I shot is really wood."

"The bluebird is also very powerful, her carriage has destroyed a wheel, but she can still steer it forward."

"It's really exciting."

"Look, the Black Shadow challenge has been successful, and the Black Shadow has taken back the first place on the 'shooting' list! What about the overall list, what about the total list. ”

"The black shadow is also the first in the overall list!"

"Oooh oh !!!"

"I'll just say, the black shadow is the strongest, this 'blue bird' just came out a few days ago, how can it be possible to compete with the black shadow successfully."

What Di Renjie didn't know was that although he had been wearing a mask and appeared in the Six Arts Pavilion, he would not communicate with other guests, let alone reveal his identity to show off;

But even so, the "black shadow" that has always been low-key and mysterious has a lot of admirers in the Six Arts Pavilion.

And at this time,

Di Renjie was teleported back into the circle and completed the second challenge, he should have surpassed the blue bird in completion time, and after finding out that he had regained the first place in the "shooting" list, he came out.

When his figure appeared,

The hall erupted in cheers.

Di Renjie was a little helpless, if it weren't for the fact that he knew that the mirror would project a competitive picture, he could save more time in the "shooting" arena with the token he was more familiar with.

But the cheers stopped abruptly,

A lot of people have their mouths wide open,

Because in the mirror projection, the "Blue Bird" in the "Royal" arena actually completed this difficult challenge under extremely difficult conditions;

At the same time, on the "Royal" list, the first place that originally belonged to the Black Shadow was replaced by "Blue Bird";

On the overall list, the black shadow who had just won the first place was once again overtaken by the Blue Bird and fell back to second.

Di Renjie looked up at the list,

The face hidden under the mask showed a smile.

Interesting, very interesting.

forthwith

A circle not far from Di Renjie's side emitted a faint light, and soon, a shadow was teleported up from the ground, it was the "blue bird" in the projection before.

Their eyes met;

Di Renjie felt a sense of indifference from the other party's gaze, and the girl in front of him exuded a temperament like ice.

What Master Di didn't know was that in the eyes of the other party, he was also the same image.

But then,

The expressions of the two hidden under the masks both revealed a trace of doubt,

Inexplicably,

I feel that there seems to be a vague sense of familiarity in the other party......
