"Huang Shaoxia, further on is Shaolin, why don't you go to the temple with the poor monk to rest for a few days?" Master Kong Ming pointed to Songshan Mountain, which was already in sight in the distance, and said.

Since entering the territory of the Great Song Dynasty three days ago, the rest of the people have all returned to their respective sects. And because Huang Xiao was going to Jingshi Kaifeng, he walked with Master Kong Ming and others all the way.

Shaolin Temple is located in the hinterland of Songshan Shaomu Mountain, from here to the east two or three hundred miles can reach Kaifeng.

Now that Huang Xiao and his entourage have arrived near Songshan, Kong Ming naturally invited.

I have to say that Huang Xiao is a leader among the younger generation, and such a young master is naturally worth befriending. Don't say that Huang Xiao saved himself, and this time he also made a lot of effort, which made Master Kong Ming look up in his heart. Shaolin, the youngest generation, is the most outstanding, so naturally he also has the meaning of comparing the two. When it comes to Shaolin, these young people can naturally learn from each other and enhance their feelings.

Shaolin can become the Beidou of Taishan in the rivers and lakes, and naturally he has his reasons. As long as Huang Xiao has no accidents, a few decades later, he will definitely be a pivotal figure in the 'Valley of the Poison God', and such a character will be good for Shaolin if he is friendly with his own Shaolin. Of course, the same is true of other Jianghu sects, no matter which faction is in charge, most of them will also give these young masters some face, after all, they will either be the head of the faction or an elder-level figure in a few decades. When you are young and weak, it is easy to make friends, but when you are strong, it is not so simple.

It stands to reason that Master Kongming's invitation to Huang Xiao is not easy to refuse, and it is indeed only a few dozen miles away from Shaolin, but he has been thinking about Zhao Xin'er in his heart now. Don't say that he has been in the Shaolin Temple for a few days, even if it is a day and a half, he can't stay.

"Thank you for the invitation, it's just that the juniors are in a hurry to Kaifeng, so I'm afraid I can only excuse myself. Huang Xiao said apologetically.

"It's okay, it's okay, if Huang Shaoxia is free in the future, he can come to Shaolin at any time. The poor monk has to thank the young man. Master Kong Ming smiled slightly.

Master Kongming has been with Huang Xiao for the past few days, so he can naturally see that the kid in front of him is a little absent-minded along the way, and it should be said that he is a little impatient.

Therefore, Master Kong Ming knew that Huang Xiao's trip to Kaifeng this time was probably not just for the first-class catch of the 'Six Gates'. However, the other party didn't say anything, so naturally he wouldn't ask more.

So he was not surprised to see that Huang Xiao had resigned.

After separating from Master Kong Ming and his entourage, Huang Xiao rushed to Kaifeng Mansion with all his light skills. Just a few hours later, Huang Xiao arrived at the gate of Kaifeng City.

"It's been three days. I don't know if Miss Zhao is still in the city, but even if she is in the city, I can't inquire now, so I have to hurry to the 'Six Gates' and officially implement the identity of the 'first-class catcher'. When the time comes, with the well-informed information of the 'Six Doors', how can I find some clues. Huang Xiao thought to himself.

"Well, Kaifeng is worthy of being a capital master, just looking at the city gate, and this city wall is much taller than 'Xiping Mansion City'. Huang Xiao chuckled.

It was the first time he had come to Kaifeng. In the past, he was just a showman who studied hard, if it weren't for that time to enter the provincial city to catch the exam, he really hadn't gone far away. Now, he is full of martial arts. In this world, you can naturally go to all parts of the world, and unlike in the past, you can't help but be windy, and you have to worry about all kinds of bandits and robbers when you go out.

"It's really prosperous!" After Huang Xiao entered Kaifeng City, he saw cars and people coming and going in the city. It's not lively. This is hard to see in other cities.

"This is still the outer city, where ordinary people live, and it is said that the inner city is the princes and nobles. The mansion of a wealthy family. Huang Xiao said in his heart, he also saw these things from books, and also learned from people's mouths. Of course, the innermost part is the Imperial Palace.

"Gotta find someone to ask where the 'six gates' are. Huang Xiao thought of this, turned around, and walked into a shop next to him.

"This son, welcome, this bookstore has the latest and most accurate scientific examination questions, I don't know if the boy is interested?" As soon as Huang Xiao entered the store, the shopkeeper of the bookstore hurriedly stepped forward and said.

Huang Xiao didn't expect that he had entered a bookstore, he suddenly remembered to ask for directions just now, and he didn't see what kind of store this was, so he walked in.

However, Huang Xiao couldn't laugh or cry at the words of the bookstore manager, and dared to openly sell the questions of this exam? But thinking of this, Huang Xiao still felt a little emotional, two years ago, he was also preparing to take the test to gain fame and glory, who would have thought that now he would have embarked on a different path.

Seeing Huang Xiao's somewhat stunned look, the shopkeeper thought he was moved, so he hurriedly said: "My test question is from the chief examiner Liu's mansion this time, the price is fair, a few days ago, many sons who went to Beijing to take the exam have bought it, if you don't buy it, it will be a loss." ”

"Oh, how much does this test cost?" asked Huang Xiaoxiao.

"Absolutely fair, 5 taels of silver!" said the shopkeeper with a palm in the depths of his hand.

5 taels of silver is not a small amount for an ordinary scholar, and it seems that he will shout such a price because his clothes are not bad. Huang Xiao smiled in his heart. How could he believe these test questions and the like? However, I am afraid that there are still many people in the world who have spent this unjust money, and of course, most of them are also children of wealthy families, and in their eyes, these five taels of silver are nothing.

"Alas, that's 3 taels, but it can't be less. Seeing that Huang Xiao didn't make a sound for a while, the shopkeeper hurriedly shouted.

"Shopkeeper, I didn't go to Beijing to take the exam, I came here this time to ask you for directions. Huang Xiao didn't want to tease the shopkeeper anymore, so he directly stated his purpose.

Hearing Huang Xiao's words, the shopkeeper's face instantly became a little ugly, and he said angrily: "What's the matter, ask." However, I am not very familiar with the city, so I may not be able to help. ”

Huang Xiao smiled disappreciatively and said, "I just want to ask how to get to the 'Six Gates'?"

Hearing this, the shopkeeper's face moved slightly, and he asked cautiously: "Looking for the 'six doors'?

Huang Xiao nodded and said, "It's from the rivers and lakes." ”

"I really haven't seen it, the old man has also seen a lot of people in the rivers and lakes, they are either burly men, or fierce and vicious stars. Like Childe~~ Oh no, it should be called a young man in the rivers and lakes, and someone as handsome as a young man is to hear people mention it, but I haven't seen it yet. The shopkeeper glanced at Huang Xiao with some curiosity and said, "Tut-tut, how do you look like a scholar, oh, you must not have practiced kung fu for a few years, right?"

Hearing the shopkeeper's words, Huang Xiao couldn't help but be happy. Most of this shopkeeper didn't go out in Kaifeng City, so he naturally couldn't get in touch with many people in the rivers and lakes. After all, this is the Jingshi, even if it is a person in the rivers and lakes, he has to be restrained. Even if it's a sword, it has to be put away. Of course, there will always be some grumpy people, or enemies will do their best when they meet, so most of the people the shopkeeper sees are such people in the rivers and lakes. To put it bluntly, these people in the rivers and lakes are almost ordinary people, and their martial arts are neither high nor low, but for ordinary people, they are masters. If it is a real master, an ordinary person can't see it.

"It's been more than two years. Huang Xiao replied.

"No wonder, no wonder, but there is nothing to practice in this martial arts, although you are not afraid of thieves if you practice well, but if you practice your hands and feet strongly, you will become a reckless man, not cost-effective, not cost-effective. After the shopkeeper looked Huang Xiao up and down several times, he shook his head and said.

Huang Xiao didn't want to explain more, this shopkeeper obviously didn't know about the rivers and lakes, he only saw ordinary people in the rivers and lakes. If you are a master with deep internal strength, even if you want to keep your face young forever.

"Shopkeeper, you haven't told me yet, how are you going to go through these 'six doors'?" Huang Xiao asked again.

"Oh, I do know that, you go down this street all the way to the end, into the inner city, and then turn left...... It should be about half an hour to get there. The shopkeeper turned left and right to introduce a pass.

However, Huang Xiao wrote it down, if what the shopkeeper said was right, he could naturally find it. Of course, even if there are some discrepancies, the problem is not big, and I will still ask while walking, and my mouth is on myself, and I am afraid that I will not find it?

"Thank you, shopkeeper. Huang Xiao thanked him, then turned around and prepared to leave.

It's just that when Huang Xiao walked to the door, his body suddenly stopped, turned around and said, "Shopkeeper, since I'm here, I'm going to take a look at your books here, if there are suitable ones, I can buy a few." ”

"Look at it casually, look at it casually, although the little old man can't say that he has the most books in Kaifeng's major bookstores, but it is relatively complete, from sage articles, hundreds of schools of thought, to various biographical novels, and ~~~hehe~~" In the end, the shopkeeper smiled a little awkwardly, but revealed a look that you understand, and did not continue.

Huang Xiao knew in his heart that he must have wanted to say that there were some books such as the Spring Palace Atlas. These books, in fact, are still very marketable among the sons and daughters of famous noble families, and of course, some ladies from wealthy families also have these albums in private. Even if she doesn't buy these herself, before she gets married, her mother or some female elders in the family will prepare some for her, at least after she gets married, she can't understand anything. Of course, these are only private transactions, and they cannot be put out openly.

"I'll see. Huang Xiao replied.

This time, the shopkeeper's face is also a lot better, although he failed to sell the exam questions, but it is not bad to have customers come to buy books, how is it also business.

"Heaven and Earth", "Heavenly Fortune", "Heavenly Dao", there should be something here, right?" Huang Xiao walked past the rows of bookshelves, and with a sweep of his eyes, he went through the names of the books on them. (To be continued......)
