Chapter 9: Shen Fei and the Bookstore
"Xiuzhen Sect? Next? What is it? Jiang Qin felt more and more confused. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Okay, I still have some things, these are some common sense things, you can find them in bookstores. I still have something to do, so I'll leave first, and I'll tell you about it when I have a chance. After Shen Fei finished speaking, he turned around and left.
Seeing Shen Fei's departing back, Jiang Qin felt a little strange, this person knew his situation well, and it seemed that the average captain knew more about his subordinates.
"Spirit seed, it's a little interesting, it seems that there is something to do in the future." Jiang Qin looked in the direction where Shen Fei had left, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
There is only one bookstore in Momiji Town, and it was opened by the so-called Shangzong, and because of the martial arts in this place, not many people patronize this bookstore.
On this day, Wang Xiaoer sat at the door and looked at the crowd coming and going on the street, and yawned boredly. "I really don't know what the above thinks, how can anyone come to buy books in a place like this. It would be much better to open a weapons shop, and it seems that I will have to talk to the above next time. Maybe the above will notice me because of this and let me be the shopkeeper, and then Feihuang Tengda will be no problem! ”
"Hello, I want to buy some books." Just when Wang Xiaoer was fantasizing about a better life in the future, a slightly immature voice interrupted him.
Wang Xiaoer, who was interrupted, was not angry, but immediately stood up, smiled, bowed, and said with a fist: "What book do adults want?" We have everything we need to satisfy you! ”
After saying this fluently, Wang Xiaoer dared to raise his head and quietly glanced at the other party. I saw that the other party was a boy in his teens, ordinary looking, wearing a gray shirt, looking at him in surprise.
"That, that, I want to buy about..."
"The "General Chronicles of the Mainland" is in the bottom row on the left, the Xiuzhen books are in the penultimate row on the left, and the martial arts cheats are on the right, but I advise you not to read them." Without waiting for the other party to finish speaking, Wang Xiaoer said first, the smile on his face was no longer there, and it was replaced by impatience.
"Thank you, thank you." The boy seemed a little shy, thanked him and walked into the store.
This boy is Jiang Qin, according to Shen Fei, he still came to the bookstore in the town, and it would not hurt him to learn more about it.
As for the shyness just now, it was obviously he pretending, no matter how he said it, he could be regarded as a person who had experienced a mountain of corpses and a sea of corpses, how could he be so unbearable because of this little thing. The reason why he did this was also what Shen Fei had taught them before, if they wanted to live a long life, they should not be noticeable.
Although he didn't quite understand this sentence yet, it would save him a lot less trouble, and he didn't want to be noticed by any big person, good or bad.
Before coming to the bookshelf on the left, Jiang Qin did not immediately go to get the "General Chronicles of the Mainland", but looked at the entire bookshelf. It's his habit that he always looks at it as a whole first, and doesn't just take what he wants.
The bookshelf is about a foot tall and made of a dark red wood. There aren't a lot of books on it. There is also a low ladder next to the bookshelf, and it seems that children like Jiang Qin often come to visit, otherwise the store would not be so prepared.
""Flame Decision", "Fire Dragon Scroll of the Five Elements", "Yan Reckless Strength", why are they all fire-based books, "Earth Walking Body", there are local ones." Jiang Qin muttered in his heart as he watched.
After reading it, Jiang Qin found that there were mostly books on the five elements on this shelf. Among them, the fire system is the most, accounting for about seventy percent, then the earth system, the least is the wood system, and there is not even one.
But what made him strange was that these books were all thin ones, not even a fifth of the book on the right. Jiang Qin opened it and looked at it, and found that it was all some exercise routes or something, and there were no moves at all. Look at the price again, "Flame Decision" is three coins of silver, "Yan Recklessness" is six coins of silver, and "Earth Walking Body" is one or two or two dollars...
Jiang Qin touched the silver in his pocket, these were all things he had earned from doing tasks in the past few years, although it was not much, but he felt that he could buy all the books on this shelf.
With such a thin book and such a cheap price, Jiang Qin even suspected that these books were deliberately used by this store to deceive people. And the means are so inferior, it is estimated that there are not many people who can be fooled.
Jiang Qin looked at the shopkeeper who was still sitting at the door, and saw that he didn't pay any attention to his meaning, and he didn't get angry, so he turned around and walked towards the bookshelf on the right.
"Thunderbolt Knife", "Water Broken Sword", "Tiyun Vertical"...
"It seems that there are books on martial arts and body methods here, not only are there a lot more types, but they are all sealed with cow tendon ropes, it seems that it is to prevent someone from stealing learning. It seems that it's really all fakes over there, just put it on the table, let others watch, and don't care at all. Jiang Qin thought in his heart.
Look at the price of these cheats again, "Thunderbolt Knife" is two hundred and twenty taels, "Water Broken Sword" is one hundred and seventy-five taels, "Tiyun Zong" is five hundred and thirty taels... And every book requires that it must not be disseminated, otherwise it will be hunted down by gangs.
"Don't look at it, you can't afford it."
Just when Jiang Qin was surprised by the price of these cheats, a voice came. It turned out that the shopkeeper walked in when he saw Jiang Qin walking towards the bookshelf on the right.
"Captain Shen asked you to come, don't be surprised, you're not the first." Seeing the surprise on Jiang Qin's face, Wang Xiaoer said with a smile.
"Captain Shen used to ask people to buy books?" Jiang Qin asked.
"It's not very often, there will always be one or two every once in a while."
"Do you know why he asked us to buy books?" Jiang Qin was a little wary of Shen Fei in his heart, it seemed that he, the captain, was hiding something from them. Although he didn't know why Shen Fei did this, Jiang Qin didn't like this feeling of being calculated by others.
"I don't know about this, after all, Captain Shen is different from a little person like us, how can I know what he thinks."
"Oh? Listening to what you say, Captain Shen is not an ordinary person anymore? But a captain like him, there are not fifty in Momiji Town, but there are twenty. Jiang Qin asked.
"He's different from other captains, is it specific..."Wang Xiaoer didn't continue, but squinted his eyes slightly and looked at Jiang Qin.
Jiang Qin was stunned for a moment when he saw Wang Xiaoer's appearance, then understood, and hurriedly took out a silver ingot from his pocket and handed it over with a smile.
Wang Xiaoer saw that Jiang Qin was so sensible, his face bloomed with joy, he reached out to take the silver, checked it, and put it in the placket on his chest. When Jiang Qin saw this scene, he still had a smile on his face, but his heart was dripping blood, and he had to earn a month for the ingots of silver!
"I heard, I just heard that Captain Shen is a cultivator!" Wang Xiaoer said in a low voice.
"What! Captain Shen is a cultivator? How is this possible! Doesn't it mean that cultivators don't usually appear in Red Leaf Town? I've only heard that Immortal Master Bing is a cultivator. Jiang Qin asked.
"That's what Captain Shen told you? He wasn't wrong, there were indeed relatively few cultivators in this town. But I've been in this town for more than ten years, and I've seen more than a dozen cultivators fly through the sky. The more Wang Xiaoer spoke, the more excited he became, and his eyebrows danced in the end.
"Since the predecessor said so, it must not be fake. But why would a big man like Captain Shen target a small person like me? What did the seniors hear? Jiang Qin slapped the other party without a trace.
Sure enough, Jiang Qin's predecessors called Wang Xiaoer's heart was full of joy. He Wang Xiaoer ran the hall alone, he used to nod in front of others, when was he called a senior?
Wang Xiaoer couldn't help but look at Jiang Qin more and more, he stretched out his hand to pull Jiang Qin aside, and said mysteriously, "I heard, I heard it completely, you just listen to it, don't go around talking about it!" ”
Jiang Qin nodded sensibly.
Wang Xiaoer continued: "I heard that Captain Shen is looking for something, and that thing is not an ordinary thing, so I want your help. ”
"Why didn't Captain Shen tell me what I was looking for, and what does finding something have to do with buying books?" Jiang Qin asked.
"I don't know about this, I've just heard about it." Wang Xiaoer said with his hands outstretched.
"So, thank you seniors. By the way, I want to buy that copy of "Mainland General Chronicles", well, I also want that copy of "Flame Decision". Jiang Qin thought for a while and said.
"You want those two copies, a total of..."Wang Xiaoer said immediately.
Jiang Qin walked down the street with two books in his arms, thinking about what Shen Fei wanted to do to him, or to them? Is it just for them to help find something? Why don't you just say this little thing?
"I can't think of it, forget it, I'll be watching him well in the future. Regardless of whether he is a cultivator or not, there will always be a time when there will be a flaw. Jiang Qin thought in his heart.
At this time, in the back hall of the bookstore, Wang Xiaoer knelt on the ground respectfully, and in front of him stood a man in a cloak and black clothes talking about something.
"How many are these?" The man in black said in a hoarse voice.
"Lord Hui, this is the third person this month." Wang Xiaoer replied respectfully.
"You've said everything you need to say?"
"Returning to the adult, what the adult asked the villain to say, the villain didn't miss a word to the kid."
"Yes, that's a good job. It's your reward. After speaking, the man in black took out a bag and threw it to Wang Xiaoer.
"Thank you, sir! The villain will definitely be smeared with adults in the future! After speaking, Wang Xiaoer hurriedly caught the bag, and his eyes couldn't help but sneak a glance at the man in black.
"What? Curious about my identity? The man in black said.
"Don't dare! Can't! The villain doesn't dare! Wang Xiaoer was startled and hurriedly said.
"It's not good to know too much, maybe if you're not careful, you won't die, do you say?"
"Yes, yes, yes! That's what the adults say! ”
"Do what I tell you to do, and don't ask too much about the rest. Do it for yourself! After speaking, the man in black walked out of the store under Wang Xiaoer's congratulatory gaze.
