After accepting Sai Diaochan as the second concubine, Xiaocui was also carried in on a soft sedan and became Xiang Nan's third concubine.
After being promoted to concubines, the two received the same treatment.
They are all served by two maids, with two sets of clothes and face every season, plus twenty taels of monthly money. Such treatment was quite good at the time.
In "Jin Ping Mei", after Pan Jinlian married Ximen Qing, she wanted a leather jacket, but Ximen Qing refused. Grandma Pan came to see her at home, but she didn't even have six cents of silver for the sedan chair. It can be seen how difficult her finances are.
Xiang Nan is not a stingy person.
Not to mention the two businesses of Tongfu Inn and Ruifuxiang, their monthly income is several hundred taels. Even the last time he won the bet against Yue Songtao, he earned two hundred thousand taels of silver, which was enough to spend a lifetime.
So he was naturally willing to spend money. Unlike Li Dazui in the play, who gave Liu Xingyu 18 cents and sighed, it's no wonder he couldn't find a partner.
And he was so generous and generous, which naturally made Sai Diaochan and Xiao Cuier very happy. Serve him and serve him even more wholeheartedly.
…
Speaking of Yue Songtao.
After taking away Bao Daren and the two Dongchang killers at Six Gates, Xiang Nan released him as promised.
"Thank you Li Captou for your great kindness. Yue will never forget it." Yue Songtao cupped his hands and said.
"You're welcome. I will definitely do what I promised." Xiang Nan nodded and said, "But where can you go after you are released from prison?"
The Huashan Sect has been destroyed by the Taishan Sect, Hengshan Sect, and Songshan Sect. The houses and land deeds of the Huashan sect had also been pawned by him.
Now he is not only a polished commander, but also a pauper. What's even worse is that the gambling stalls and the three major sects will not let him go.
"I'm going to go to the Western Region for a walk. I heard from Monk Xuren that it's easier to make a fortune there." Yue Songtao explained.
"Then go ahead." Xiang Nan took out the five hundred taels of silver notes and handed them to Yue Songtao, "If you have any trouble, remember to come back to me."
Although Yue Songtao is a hypocrite, as long as this kind of person is used well, he is actually very useful. Because hypocrites grasp people's psychology and are good at doing difficult things beautifully.
Just like compared with Ji Xiaolan, a true gentleman, He Shen must be a hypocrite. As an important minister of the court, he was full of men and women, but Qianlong liked to use He Shen.
"Thank you Li Captou." Hearing what he said, Yue Songtao was very moved.
…
After Yue Songtao left, Xiang Nan began to practice Taixuan Jing.
The eight maps given to him by Guo Juxia are: [Wu Gou Shuang Yue Ming], [Silver Saddle Shines on White Horse], [Kill a Man in Ten Steps], [Hidden Gong and Fame Deeply], [Five Mountains Are Lighter], [Yi Qi Su] There are eight pictures: Nisheng], [Death Hero Bone Fragrance] and [Baishou Taixuan Sutra].
Not only are the figures drawn on the diagrams, but there are also annotations next to them. The graphics are extremely finely drawn, and even the handwriting is very charming. It is obviously written by an expert.
Xiang Nan has watched "Xia Ke Xing" before, but has forgotten the specific plot.
He only remembered that every map in Taixuan Jing was a meridian map. When comprehending, just look at the pictures and visualize.
As for the annotation next to it, it is completely misleading to scholars. If you follow the explanations to understand, you will go astray. …
Therefore, he did not look at the handwriting at all. He only visualized the graphics and responded to the meridians and acupuncture points in the body.
At this time, he was meditating on the picture [Wu Gou Shuang Yue Ming].
You can see that there are nearly a thousand handwriting on the picture, densely packed, all written in cursive script. The dragons and phoenixes are dancing and the ocean is wild and wanton. It is obvious that it was written by an expert.
Xiang Nan did not read the specific words, but only observed the pictures.
Suddenly, I discovered that some of the strokes were like long swords.
The shapes of these swords may be horizontal or straight, tilted or held back, some with the sword tip pointing upward, some with the sword tip pointing downward, some rising diagonally, and some sweeping sideways, intending to fall... It is a set of exquisite sword techniques. .
At this moment, the "Jugu point" on Xiang Nan's right shoulder suddenly felt hot, and there was a wave of heat that was about to move.
Xiang Nan's heart moved and he continued to meditate.
This hot air followed the meridians and reached the "Wuli Point", and then went to the "Quchi Point"... The hot air became stronger and stronger, and continued to flow through the body.
With the surge of internal energy, Xiang Nan's hands and feet began to dance involuntarily, using a set of extremely mysterious sword techniques. Not only is it powerful, but its moves are also exquisite.
"Awesome~" Xiang Nan couldn't help but admire.
This set of [Wu Gou Shuang Yueming] swordsmanship is more exquisite and more powerful than the Great Zhoutian Swordsmanship, the Thirteen Life-Destroying Swords and the Life-Destroying Chain Three Immortal Swords.
It is really a rare swordsmanship.
…
After understanding [Wu Gou Shuang Yue Ming], Xiang Nan continued to observe [Silver Saddle Shines on White Horse].
You can see that this picture is of a horse, running with its head held high, with clouds filling the air under its feet, as if it is flying in the sky.
There are many annotated texts beside it, such as: "Li Shangyin wrote: The hands are the heavenly horses, and the heart is the map of the country. Yunfu records: Taoism uses the hands as the heavenly horses."
Xiang Nan ignored the text on the side and watched the horse first, hoping to gain some understanding, but he didn't gain anything.
He then looked at the cloud of air under the horse's feet, and suddenly felt something.
It turns out that the clouds under the horse's hooves are the trajectory of the true energy.
Xiang Nan immediately followed the instructions and immediately felt as light as a swallow, his feet not touching the dust, so he couldn't help but run out.
He went straight to the foot of Cuiwei Mountain before turning around and running back. The whole journey can be described as lightning fast and fast as a meteor.
From Qixia Town to the foot of Cuiwei Mountain, it is more than thirty miles away. Even if you use Qinggong, you will have to run for a while. But it only took him one stick of incense to run back and forth just now.
The speed has increased a lot. In Xiang Nan's opinion, the lightness skill of the silver-saddled white horse is much faster than Bai Sanniang's walking in the snow to find plum blossoms or Shaolin Temple's reed crossing the river.
…
Xiang Nan continued to comprehend all the way.
Later, in "Kill a Man in Ten Steps", he learned a sword technique. This sword technique is an instant kill method. It only has one move and is extremely fast. Before the other party could react, he was killed by the sword.
[Deep Hidden Skills and Names] is another light skill. But unlike [Silver Saddle Shining on White Horse] Qinggong focuses on speed. [Hidden Skills and Names] Qinggong focuses on the ability to follow invisibly.
When performing this light skill, the body becomes erratic and falls to the ground silently. Even if you are following people, you will not be noticed. It is really amazing.
[The Five Mountains Are Turned Lightly] is a palm technique, the palm power is extremely powerful, it can pull down the five mountains, and the cauldron can determine the universe.
Xiang Nan's Jingtai Palm, Iron Palm Skill, and Great Nine Heavens Hands are all top-notch palm skills. [The Five Sacred Mountains Are Lighter] is not inferior at all, and is even better in terms of strength.
[Yi Qi Su Ni Sheng] is an internal skill and mental method, and the true Qi produced is warm, pure, peaceful, and vigorous.
According to Xiang Nan's estimation, it is even higher than Zixia Magical Skill and Rama Magical Skill, and is the top internal martial arts mental technique in the martial arts world.
[Death Man Bone Fragrance] is a boxing technique, and this boxing technique only has one move, which is extremely powerful.
When performing it, mobilize the internal strength of the whole body to deliver the strongest blow. If the opponent doesn't die and his internal strength is exhausted, he will definitely die.
When it comes to the strongest output skill, it has to be this boxing technique.
