Chapter 347. surprise
"Oh God, it's unimaginable, dear friend, how did you do that?" The black brother let out an exclamation, then took the "Tao Te Ching" in Lin Yi's hand, looked left and right, and the book that should have been wet was not stained at all. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The others also gathered around, looking at this unbelievable miracle in amazement, some people shouted "miracle", and many others thought it was "magic", a kind of trick.
However, Lin Yi said: "This is the miracle of the water of virtue encountering the book of chance, miracles always depend on people to guide, so whether it is the three ways or not, in the end humanity is still the main thing, so the final purpose of the Tao Te Ching is that in order to master the way of heaven and earth, we must practice self-cultivation and get a glimpse of the secrets of humanity." I'm done, do any of you have anything else to add? ”
Who added it, they were all stunned by his unique skill.
As the saying goes, hearing is false, seeing is believing.
To be able to see such a miracle with your own eyes is more convincing than anything else.
Lin Yi rubbed his nose and said, "If no one has anything to say, then I'll go first." As he spoke, he was about to walk away.
At this time---
"Wait a minute, young man."
Lin Yi turned his head to look, but it was an old man with a crane hair and a childish face who came out of the crowd, with a Chinese face, lying silkworm eyebrows, and bright eyes, as if he could see through everything, he was biting a black pipe, looking a bit like the old intellectuals in the Republic of China, and a bit like the Shanghai Tang tycoon that Lin Yi had watched in the TV series.
Anyway, this is a very strange person, at least when he came out, Lin Yi inexplicably felt a momentum, maybe it made the other party taller--- it was rare for an old man to be so burly and tall.
The old man hid in the crowd just now, not showing his water, just smoking, until he saw Lin Yi showing such a hand, he couldn't help but be surprised inexplicably, coupled with Lin Yi's explanation of the Tao Te Ching, he couldn't help but be curious about Lin Yi, so when he saw that Lin Yi was leaving, he couldn't help but stand up and stop him.
Lin Yi looked at the old man, and asked kindly, "I don't know what the old man called me for?" ”
The old man smiled, spit out a puff of smoke and said: "I'm very interested in your trick just now--- I used to see similar performances in Chaotian Palace and Confucius Temple, but none of them were as wonderful as you, how did you do it?" ”
Damn, I even used my aura to evaporate water stains as a "trick", and I was too underestimated.
Lin Yi was secretly angry, thinking that this old man looked like a character, but he didn't expect that his vision was the same as that of ordinary people, vulgar, so he couldn't be a little imaginative?
So Lin Yi hugged his fists at the old man and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, old man, since you think I'm a trick, I have nothing to say--- but since it's a trick, it's a secret one, and it's a secret thing that must be kept secret, and I can't reveal the mystery." ”
The old man looked very regretful, sighed and said, "What a beautiful trick, it's a pity, I can only watch it once." Pouting, "Then can you leave your contact information, maybe I will contact you and let you perform at my birthday banquet......"
Lin Yi fainted, so he said, "Excuse me, I won't go to the banquet to perform." ”
"Giving you a lot of money, you say, how much do you want?" The old man turned into a local tyrant again, as if he said to the little girl in the video, how many are you willing to strip naked.
Lin Yi felt that this old man was very ignorant, since he said that he was unwilling to still be entangled, it was too kraft candy, I wanted to respect you, but you gave up the opportunity yourself.
"Hehe, old man, do you think that everyone in this world likes money? Yes, money can buy everything, and many magicians can come on stage to perform so-called 'tricks' for you, but unfortunately, I am not included in this group! I feel a stomachache when I say a word to a vulgar person like you, goodbye! After saying that, he turned away without looking back.
The old man behind him was dumbfounded, it was the first time he had been criticized for such an age, and he was still criticized by a hairless young man......
The others were aroused by Lin Yi's words, and couldn't help but applaud in the back.
"Well said! Money can't buy everything! ”
"If you want to see a trick, go to the circus!"
"Where have you grown so old?"
……
The old man turned back sharply, "What did you say?" "Domineering.
Everyone shuddered violently and was silent.
Only the black guy was still looking through the Tao Te Ching, and his mouth was saying, "What's the matter?" Why is it not wet? ”
……
Away from the used bookstore area.
When those bookstores were almost visited, Lin Yi was nostalgic for those unknown used book stalls.
The used book stalls near Chaotian Palace are different from bookstores, with strong mobility, and they also set up stalls to sell books from time to time. Therefore, it is not easy for Lin Yi to seize the opportunity.
But he was lucky after all, so when he came to the bookstall area, he saw a virgin bookstall owner who was constantly taking out books, and a bookfriend was also taking out a dozen of books from the bag at the same time.
Seeing the situation, Lin Yi also hurried over, and roughly selected 8 books, all of which were from the 50s and 60s, and they were all published in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and the price was 25 copies, which felt a little expensive. So I picked it up again and went to 2 books, one I thought it was a novel, and the other was a movie. Leave 6 copies, the counteroffer said 100, but the other party has a lot, I wanted to pick it again, leave a 2-3 copies, and prepare to keep the book "Talking about Acting" + the whole picture of practicing soft and hard skills Secrets + Baguazhang practice, both martial arts books still have pictures, it should be easier to understand, and the content is also what I love. But the stall owner insisted on taking the book from him, and refused to sell it.
Lin Yi was stunned for half a second, he didn't expect the stall owner here to be so bullish. Looking at the books that were taken away, they were immediately taken away by the one who chose the books before, Lin Yi guessed that the other party only wanted to pick those two martial arts books, so he turned around and said 150 is 150.
The female stall owner saw that the book friend was only going to ask for two of the martial arts books, so she was reluctant to sell them to him alone, and in the end, the boss gave them to Lin Yi in order to sell them all at once.
Lin Yi clearly saw the book friend grinning and looking at himself with a face that had been robbed of his wife.
He's seen a lot of this kind of face, so he doesn't care.
Looking at the books in his hand, one of the publishing houses turned out to be "Truth, Kindness and Beauty Publishing House", which is a very famous publishing house, which often likes to publish martial arts novels from Hong Kong and Taiwan, especially Wolongsheng, Lin Yi didn't want to see it here, so he just wanted to buy this book.
After that, I bought a set of two volumes of "Three Kinds of Continuation of the Golden Vase Plum" at the bookstall on the side, plus 2 martial arts books on Chen's Taijiquan. One price, hey, the price of books is hard to cut. The stall owner himself said that he had just asked for 45 before, but he didn't sell it for 40.
Originally, the stall owner just said that there were a few books on Tai Chi and asked if he wanted them, Lin Yi also wondered why he asked, but after thinking about it, it was probably because he saw that there were two martial arts books in the 6 books he had just bought. When the stall owner went to flip through the Taijiquan book, Lin Yi happened to see this set of "Three Kinds of Continuation Books of Golden Vase and Plum".
"Three Kinds of Continuation Books of Golden Vase and Plum" was published by Qilu Publishing House in August 1988, with a hard hardcover and a print run of 40,000 copies. There is also a preface and 24 beautiful illustrations. Antique, it has a great attraction for Lin Yi, who likes to collect the version of "Golden Vase Plum".
In fact, the price of the stall is not high, and the market price of this set of books alone is now about 80 yuan.
As for the two books about Chen's Taijiquan, Lin Yi also knew that this kind of book was relatively new, and he had practiced it in middle school before, but to be honest, he only had a show, and he didn't know how to use one move and one style. is ready to regain that martial arts relationship, at least you can exercise and defend yourself.
I searched two bookstalls in a row, and the harvest was very good, Lin Yi was in a comfortable mood,
Later, I saw a line-bound "Liu's Family Collection of Three Yuan Secrets" at an old man's stall owner, which is strange to say, I didn't seem to see this set of books when I first walked over, and I suddenly saw it when I came back.
Lin Yi flipped through the book casually, and it turned out to be a clear woodcut book, and it was still finely carved, and there were many prints about feng shui and the like, which was amazing. You must know that books in such good condition are rare in the market. So I asked how much I could sell, and the old man was very interesting, and said that you should look at it. Lin Yi thought for a moment and said 500. He reluctantly said that he would add 50 yuan, and Lin Yi no longer made an offer with him, and directly paid him 550 yuan.
Seeing that Lin Yi was so refreshing and seemed to be a big buyer, the old man said, I still have some of these books at home, do you want them?
As soon as he heard this, Lin Yi smiled, and casually said of course he wanted to, and asked if he could go to his house to read a book?
The old man immediately agreed, and even stopped setting up a stall, saying that it was rare to meet a big customer who knew the goods, and he would not make such a small amount of money.
When Lin Yi saw him say this, he enthusiastically helped him collect the stall, but seeing that the books he brought were basically nothing to read except for the one bound in the line, he felt that it was probably not very interesting to go to the house.
The old man's house was not far from the place where the stall was set up, and Lin Yi followed him around the bush and arrived there without walking a few steps.
Like many book sellers, basically their home is a warehouse, messy, dirty, the old man got into the back room, and after a while, he took out a lot of books and put them on the ground, and said to Lin Yi, look at it, I will pick up some more for you, saying that he continued to move the books out of the house.
Lin Yi didn't pay much attention to it at first, thinking that the books that the old man took out were at most a few hundred yuan, so he talked to the old man from time to time while reading the book.
But just as he was casually flipping through these old books, suddenly a wisp of familiar book fragrance wafted into his nose.
Hey, is there a treasure here?
Lin Yi suddenly stirred the spirit, and his sharp nose had already caught the aura of the book--- (to be continued.) )
