Chapter 319: It's Late
After watching Liu Dacheng and the three eunuchs leave, Huang Xiao turned around and returned to his residence.
When Du Ge brought him over just now, he hadn't looked into the room carefully. Looking at it now, this arrangement is still quite elegant, not at all like the kind of bold feeling in the rivers and lakes. Although most of the catches in the 'Six Gates' come from the rivers and lakes, after all, they belong to the imperial court, so in many ways they are somewhat different from the pure rivers and lakes.
"Qin!" Huang Xiao walked to a table, only to see a piano on it, although Huang Xiao did not know the piano, but he could also see that this piano was also a top product.
"Chess!" There is a chessboard on the side of the piano, on which are placed black and white two sons, Huang Xiao stretched out his hand and touched it, the tentacles are warm and cool, this black and white chess piece should be carved from ivory, and the hand is not small.
With 'Qin and Chess', there is naturally 'Calligraphy and Painting'. There are also pen, ink, paper and inkstones on this table, a lot of good rice paper, and there are different brushes of different sizes on the pen holder. And there are a lot of calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall, these calligraphy and paintings are not the real works of ancient masters, but imitations, but these imitations are also from the hands of later generations of famous artists, so even if there is a gap with the real handwriting, but not everyone can reach such a state. It is enough for people to enjoy and copy.
"Hey, these 'six doors' are well thought out. Huang Xiao smiled in his heart, most of the people who can live here are the first-class catchers of the 'Six Doors', and of course, there are occasionally people like Huang Xiao who live in. To be able to reach the realm of first-class fast catching, these masters are often not ordinary people. In addition to surpassing others in martial arts, these masters often have their own special hobbies.
'Qinqi, calligraphy and painting' is one of their hobbies, and it is often those famous families with a long history who pay more attention to this. This is a person's cultivation and temperament, so those disciples sent out by famous families are often full of poetry and books, full of economy, and versatile. This temperament is often very different from the reckless man in the impression of ordinary people. Just like the bookstore shopkeeper before, he thinks that these people in the rivers and lakes are those burly and strong men.
Of course, this is not to say that this is the case for all of these masters. There are also some masters who focus on martial arts, and others never pay attention to it, so naturally there will be no 'qin, chess, calligraphy and painting'.
And the 'Six Doors' has these things in these rooms, whether it is for the people who live here to use for their own use, or to discuss with friends, it is very convenient, and this arrangement can be described as intimate.
"Xiao flute?" Huang Xiao turned his eyes and suddenly saw a long flute and a bamboo flute hanging on the other wall.
After seeing the long flute, Huang Xiao's heart moved, and he took two quick steps. Remove the flute and bamboo flute from the wall.
"It's all good purple bamboo, it's worth a lot of money. Huang Xiao looked at the long flute and bamboo flute in his hand, and said in his heart.
Huang Xiao can play the flute, but he is not very proficient in the flute.
After looking at the flute and flute in his hand for a while, Huang Xiao put the flute on the table, and then held the flute horizontally under his lips.
Just as he was about to exhale and play, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, mixed with the sound of many people's conversations.
Thereupon. Huang Xiao sighed and put down the flute in his hand.
He almost forgot that he didn't live in another courtyard, and there were rooms all around. Although they are a little far apart, if they play the flute, they will still affect others.
"Heavenly Demon Dragon Yin!" After Huang Xiao saw the long flute and flute on the wall just now, he suddenly thought of the sound skills on the "Heavenly Demon Classic" in his mind. 'Heavenly Demon Dragon Groan'. This is a sound skill that is as famous as the 'Heavenly Demon Eight Sounds'. It's just that the 'Heavenly Demon Eight Sounds' can only exert the greatest power when played on the piano, and the 'Heavenly Demon Dragon Yin' is naturally played with a flute, after all, the piano and flute ensemble. The two are more powerful.
It's just that Huang Xiao is not very proficient in the flute, so he wants to try it with the flute first. It's a pity that this is not a quiet place after all, and he can't be allowed to play wantonly.
So, Huang Xiao had no choice but to put the flute in his hand on the table, and then sat cross-legged on the bed.
Ever since he had broken through the fourth level of the 'Heavenly Demon Gong' some time ago, he had found that his 'Heavenly Demon True Qi' was getting deeper and deeper. At first, he was a little overwhelmed by such a huge amount of True Qi, but now he had begun to slowly control this True Qi and consolidate his cultivation.
With the consolidation of the fourth level of the 'Heavenly Demon Gong', the triple strength of the 'Heavenly Demon Subduing Tiger Fist' that he had comprehended before had already been clearly understood. Now he is already impacting the quadruple strength, but now he has just touched some edges, if he says that he can force it, Huang Xiao can do it, but this price is probably not small, even if he has the 'Immortal Changchun True Qi' body, I am afraid it will take several days to relieve his breath. Although he had never used the quadruple power of the 'Heavenly Demon Subduing Tiger Fist', Huang Xiao understood that this power must be unimaginable to him.
Perhaps stimulated by the 'Heavenly Demon True Qi', the 'Immortal Changchun True Qi' in Huang Xiao's body is also growing, although the True Qi is not as strong as the 'Heavenly Demon True Qi', but compared to before, it has made great progress. Now Huang Xiao can be sure that if he encounters Master Ba Dou again, he can use the third strength of the 'Immortal Changchun True Qi' to urge the 'Heavenly Demon Fuhu Fist' to defeat Ba Dou.
According to the usual practice, Huang Xiao first ran the 'Heavenly Demon True Qi' and then the 'Immortal Changchun True Qi', and the two True Qi were constantly transformed in the meridians, without the slightest mistake.
......
When Huang Xiao opened his eyes again, it was already two hours later.
After finishing his work and getting up, Huang Xiao waved his hands and said in his heart: "Today's effect is much worse." ”
In fact, this is also normal, when he came back from Xiazhou, Huang Xiao's skills improved a lot along the way, that was because his skills had just broken through, and he fought with masters, and he realized in his heart, which naturally promoted the rapid growth of his skills. Now that the true qi in his body has begun to consolidate, Cheng Dù's change in true qi is naturally not as obvious as a few days ago.
"It's the middle of the night. Huang Xiao opened the window and glanced at the sky, only to see that the crooked crescent moon had passed overhead and was heading towards the west.
"Still so noisy?" Huang Xiao's brows suddenly furrowed, and he heard another noise outside, as if someone was arguing about something.
Closing the window, Huang Xiao walked to the table, grabbed the flute in his hand, and then turned and walked towards the door. But when he had just taken two steps, he turned around and walked back again, taking the flute with him.
'Squeak~~' After the door was pushed open, Huang Xiao walked out.
When Huang Xiao opened the door, several people not far away turned their eyes over.
Huang Xiao didn't want to pay attention to these people, but he didn't want to pay attention to them, but it doesn't mean that others don't want to look for you.
"How can this be true, this is what you said the room is full, and such a lowly candidate can live here?" a voice sounded.
Huang Xiao, who was about to leave, stopped, he didn't notice the people not far away just now because he was thinking about some things. Now hearing this, Huang Xiao can tell whose mouth it is.
"Murong Shun?" Huang Xiao raised his eyes and looked, and sure enough, he saw that Murong Shun was the leader, and there were three people behind him, and these three people were all first-class fast tokens, from Tianmen. The three of Tianmen were discussing the law around the steward of the inn.
Huang Xiao also heard a few words just now, obviously the room here was full, and Murong Shun and the others were obviously very unhappy, so they forced the steward to vacate the room for them here.
Murong Shun was quite depressed, he wanted to rest here for a night after drinking with a few friends, but he didn't expect it to be full. This made him very unhappy, after all, he brought yì here to rest. As a first-class catcher, there is this benefit, there are several free accommodations a year, and you can get a discount if you exceed the times.
Although it is open to the public, the people who really live in it are basically the people of the 'Six Doors', of course, there are some ordinary wealthy families, dignitaries who want to see the demeanor of the masters, or want to spend money to ask these fast catchers to help privately, they can be found here, so they will live in.
The accommodation here is similar to some of the best rooms in the city, but with the addition of a 'six doors' sign, so the price goes up. Ordinary people want to stay here for one night, then they have to pay a hundred taels of silver, which is almost a year's expenses for a family of ordinary people. However, for those rich and noble, it is nothing, and they are still happy to come. After all, they came for another purpose.
It is precisely because of this that many first-class catchers often live here, if they are short of money to spend, they can help those princes and ministers or famous families solve some things, and naturally they will not worry about the silver. Although these first-class catchers are all masters, it stands to reason that they will not be short of money, but they are also very good at spending money, and it is common for them to spend a lot of money. Therefore, many first-class catchers are still shy.
"Lord Murong, that lord will move in first, so ~~~" the steward said with a smile on his face.
"My lord, is he an alternate catcher who is a bullshit?" Murong Shun shouted, "Let him get out of the way for Young Master Ben!"
Of course, the steward knew that Huang Xiao's identity was not qualified to live here, but after all, he was brought in by Du Ge, and he didn't want to offend Du Ge, but the Murong Shun in front of him was also not easy to mess with.
For a while, he was a little embarrassed, if he changed to another first-class catcher, he would definitely not hesitate to refuse Murong Shun. Because according to Murong Shun's words, this Huang Xiao is indeed not qualified to live here, if he doesn't follow the rules of the 'Six Doors', then in the end, things will be big, I'm afraid he won't be able to eat and walk around.
"Steward!" Just when the steward was a little entangled in his heart, he suddenly heard someone shouting to him in the distance. And as soon as these words sounded, he saw a phantom shooting towards him, and he did not hesitate to stretch out his right hand and take it.
"This is a hundred taels of silver tickets, it's tonight's fee, first come, first come, who is to blame if you are late?" Huang Xiao said lightly. (To be continued......)
