Chapter 313: Low Profile
Huang Xiao also suddenly remembered this incident, although he had guessed that the so-called "Taiping Sutra" was probably these three articles, but he had no time to find these three articles. Moreover, after all, this is also his own speculation, so he didn't deliberately look for it, and this time he happened to be in the bookstore, so he naturally took a look by the way. At least this is a pimple in my heart, whether it is or not, after reading it, I will understand.
"There are a lot of books. After Huang Xiao walked by, he found that there were thousands of books here.
After turning a few bookshelves, Huang Xiao stopped in the middle of the fourth bookshelf, because he saw "Heaven and Earth", "Heavenly Fortune", and "Heavenly Dao".
Carefully taking down the "Heaven and Earth" chapter, Huang Xiao quickly flipped through it, and then carefully recalled the contents in his mind. After reading it just now, Huang Xiao had already written down all the contents in it.
"I know everything about this, it doesn't seem to be anything special. Could it be that I haven't really comprehended it yet?" Huang Xiao thought about it, and couldn't think of any exercises contained in it, there was no sign at all, it was just an ordinary book.
However, he still took down "Heavenly Fortune" and "Heavenly Dao", and after reading it again, he carefully recalled the contents in his mind several times, but found nothing.
Staring at the three books in his hand, Huang Xiao frowned slightly, and muttered in his heart: "Is the secret too mysterious, I can't understand it, or I guessed wrong, these are just three ordinary articles." ”
For a while, Huang Xiao was also a little undecided.
"Let's take a look at it again!" Huang Xiao held these three books in his hand, and then looked at a few bookshelves, from which he also found several other inner, outer and miscellaneous chapters mentioned in the "Nanhua Sutra", but they were not complete. It's just that after he looked through these books, he didn't feel anything special, just some Taoist doctrines.
After sparing a circle. Huang Xiao stood in place and thought quietly for a while, then shook his head, sighed in his heart and said: "I'm afraid I'm thinking too much, just like the valley lord said, everyone believes that what they guess must be right, but who can prove that they are right? It's been so long, everyone thinks they have guessed, they all think they have obtained the Taiping Sutra, and they haven't heard anyone realize anything until now." Obviously, the same is true for myself. ”
So Huang Xiao stuffed the few books in his hand back on the shelf. Originally, he wanted to stuff all these books back, but he thought that he also asked the shopkeeper for the way to the 'Six Doors', and after reading them for so long, he was embarrassed not to buy any of them. Therefore, he left three books: "Heaven and Earth", "Heavenly Fortune" and "Heavenly Dao".
"Shopkeeper, how much are these three books?" Huang Xiao walked up to the shopkeeper and asked.
"Oh, these three books, cheap, 100 wen a piece. The shopkeeper laughed.
Huang Xiao didn't bargain either. He handed the broken silver to the treasurer.
After the shopkeeper glanced at it, he smiled and said, "Young man, you wait, there is half a tael here." I'll find you for 200 wen. ”
"No, just ask for directions. Huang Xiao waved his hand, then put the three books in his arms and walked out of the bookstore.
Jingshi is Jingshi. Things are a lot more expensive, you must know that when the third princess Zhao Yunhui bought the same three books in Huaqing City, each of them seemed to be 35 texts.
After leaving the bookstore, Huang Xiao followed the route pointed out by the shopkeeper just to find the 'six doors'. Of course, on the way, he also asked a few pedestrians on the street, and in less than half an hour, Huang Xiao stood in front of a mansion.
"This is where the headquarters of the 'Six Doors' is located?" Huang Xiao looked at the gate with some surprise, in fact, this cannot be regarded as a gate, although it is two doors, but it is not big, looking at the scale of this mansion, it is also the appearance of some ordinary wealthy families. This is too far from the imagination in Huang Xiao's mind.
In Huang Xiao's imagination, these 'six gates' are a force to be reckoned with in the rivers and lakes, and this headquarters is naturally very imposing, but I didn't expect it to be so low-key.
"Back to basics?" Huang Xiao said secretly in his heart.
Just like the people in the rivers and lakes, those real masters often don't show their talents, and those who are only half-hung are promoting their martial arts everywhere, as if they are afraid that others will not know. Obviously, the same is true of the 'Six Doors', although it is said that his location is just such an inconspicuous courtyard, but as long as the people who know, who dares to be presumptuous?
Huang Xiao touched it from his arms, and there was an extra token in his hand, with a yellow character on it, representing 'Yellow Gate'. His token is a token for the alternate catcher. Although he admitted his second-class strength in Huaqing City at that time, he also asked him to come to Beijing in exchange for tokens, and the first-class catcher had to be filed at the headquarters of the Beijing Division. So what Huang Xiao has been on has always been this token for the alternate catch.
"I didn't expect this token to accompany me for more than two years, although I have hardly used it, but now I am a little reluctant to exchange it for other tokens. Huang Xiao chuckled.
"Get out of the way~~" Suddenly, a voice came from behind Huang Xiao.
Huang Xiao had already noticed the person behind him, and he originally wanted to avoid it, but when he heard the tone of the person behind him, he felt a little unhappy in his heart.
"Get out of the way, a little alternate catcher is actually in the way?" The person behind him had already walked to Huang Xiao's side, and he also saw the token in Huang Xiao's hand, and couldn't help but snort coldly.
"Lord Murong, it's just that you're just an alternate catcher, why do you want to be like him?" said one of the people behind him.
Huang Xiao also saw someone coming at this time, and saw that this Lord Murong was not very old, he seemed to be a few years older than himself, and there were two people behind him, and those two people were around forty years old.
"The first-class catch is faster, and the second-class catches two faster!" Huang Xiao saw the token on the waist of the three people, although the kid surnamed Murong was the youngest, his skill was the strongest among the three, he was a first-class catcher.
Two years ago, when Huang Xiao had just become an alternate catcher, when he saw Zhang Jin, he felt how majestic this catcher was. Now their strength doesn't care about first-class catching fast, even if it is first-class catching fast, most of their strength is also a first-class medium-grade realm, even if it is a first-class top-grade realm, Huang Xiao doesn't care.
However, he also knew that the kid in front of him was probably also a little talented, and he was not very old enough to become a first-class catcher, and the disciples of ordinary sects were obviously unable to do it.
"Brother Yao, what you said is not right, it is okay if this candidate does not salute the two of us when he sees us, but he is also so rude in front of Lord Murong, he has to let him remember it for a long time. Another said.
"Boy, if you don't hurry up and apologize to Lord Murong, Lord Murong has a lot of them, so naturally he won't embarrass you. The second-class catcher surnamed Yao hurriedly said to Huang Xiao.
The first class catcher showed a look of displeasure on his face, this surnamed Yao was squeezing himself. If you really want to teach this eyeless candidate a quick lesson, but I don't have the capacity to tolerate others. It's just that I was angry with my stomach just now, and now I met this kid in the way, I originally wanted to vent, but I didn't expect him to want to excuse this kid, which is really unreasonable.
However, he also knew that the relationship between this surnamed Yao and himself was not very good, and he was not obedient to himself, so he didn't care much about himself.
"It's so open here, who can block the way here?" to the surprise of the three of them, Huang Xiao asked lightly.
When the surnamed Yao heard this, his face changed, and he was kind enough to excuse Huang Xiao just now. He knew that this surnamed Murong was not very open-minded, he was angry just now, whoever was caught by him would have to shed his skin if he didn't die. In his opinion, this waiting-in kid who caught the fast was completely unjustified. Because he couldn't get used to what his surname Murong did, he wanted to exonerate Huang Xiao. But this kid is also a dumb goose, can't he see the situation in front of him clearly?
"Good, good, good. It's really not a small amount of courage, you are a little alternate catcher who dares to talk to me Murong Shun like this, are you going to die?" Murong Shun was stunned for a moment, and then laughed.
"Yao Wu, you shut up Lao Tzu, it's not your turn to chirp crookedly. Perhaps finding out that Yao Wu was about to speak again, Murong Shun glared at him and shouted.
Yao Wu didn't say anything anymore, although he couldn't get used to Murong Shun, but Murong Shun was above him in terms of skill and identity, and he didn't dare to really mess with him. Besides, it is impossible for him to contradict Murong Shun again for this kid he doesn't know.
Huang Xiao could see that this person named Yao Wu wanted to pull himself, but he really didn't care about Murong Shun, so he understood this intention.
"Why don't you dare?" Huang Xiao asked as he stared at Murong Shun.
"A candidate is just a quick catcher, and he dares to provoke me? Even if I kill you, it will be for nothing. Murong Shun sneered.
If it were to be changed to normal times, the 'Six Gates' was a fight between forbidden catchers, even if it was the lowest-level alternate catcher, it was not someone who could kill it. Therefore, if Murong Shun killed the alternate catcher for no reason, even if he was a first-class catcher, then he would be punished by the 'Six Doors'.
But now Huang Xiao did offend Murong Shun verbally, so he killed Huang Xiao, so he was naturally innocent. As a weakling, you must have the heart of respecting the strong, otherwise there will be no dignity and humility, wouldn't it be a mess?
"Murong Shun, what are you still doing here?" At this time, another voice came from behind him.
Murong Shun's face became a little ugly when he heard this, he had just suffered the bird's anger of the person behind him.
Huang Xiao smiled when he saw the visitor, arched his hand towards the person and smiled: "Brother Du, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”
"Huh, Brother Huang, it's you, I thought you would come to Beijing soon, but I didn't expect to wait for you, but I didn't expect to meet it today, haha~~"
At that time, Huang Xiao was selected as the 'Six Gates' together with him and Mu Qiang from the Ten Thousand Dao Gate, but at that time, their strength was a first-class catcher, and they were just a candidate catcher. (To be continued......)
