Chapter 11 Wenxiang Book Society
Following.
Feng Xiangyun was wandering around the market, he was passing by the road, but there was nowhere to express a trace of dryness in his heart, so he temporarily wanted to walk.
This is a private workshop, different from the official workshop directly operated by the palace, where the shops and stalls are lax, as long as the rent is enough, regardless of what identity can also be operated, so the goods are varied, as long as the eyesight is good enough, you can exchange all kinds of serious and improper goods, and he often comes here to increase his knowledge.
After a while, he stopped, and it was a book club called 'Smelling Incense'.
The façade of the book club is very narrow, and a horizontal counter blocks most of it, revealing only a two-person wide aisle, and behind the counter there is a rich old man who is concentrating on studying books, sometimes shaking his head, sometimes closing his eyes and contemplating, with a beautiful face.
The market is noisy, but this old man can be quiet and read books with his heart, and he is by no means idle.
Feng Xiangyun secretly praised, leaned closer, but found that this book was familiar, and couldn't help but read it out loud: "The cross-necked mandarin duck plays in the water, and the head of the phoenix wears flowers." Looking back, there were the words "Ximenqing" and "Wang Po", and immediately shouted: "Play the shopkeeper, and inspect the public gate!"
When the old man heard the sound, he didn't move his head, but his hand was as fast as a butterfly, and he flicked it on the counter and replied, "Please check." ”
Feng Xiangyun since the cultivation of the Dao Law, eyesight far better than ordinary people, the old man flicked the book on the table into his right sleeve, and took out a copy from the side to replace, the speed of the reaction is not necessarily what he is, and this old man clearly has no half of the internal qi, it is really impressive.
The old man glanced at it and saw that it was Feng Xiangyun, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief, patted his chest and sighed: "Second son, sooner or later you will scare my old bones to death." ”
Feng Xiangyun said with a smile: "Play shopkeeper, a few years ago you boasted that you could recite this lotus bottle plum upside down, why are you still studying." ”
The shopkeeper's surname is playing, named Play Long, he was a shop guy, self-made to be the premier businessman here, more than ten years ago by the Yongling King rebellion to jump up, to get an official body, in other places Feng Xiangyun also called him a sentence to play uncle, but he later opened his own book club, and then ignore the family industry, here he only likes others to call him the shopkeeper.
"There is no such lotus bottle plum, I never read such forbidden books. "Playing with the shopkeeper is upright.
"Right sleeve. Feng Xiangyun nodded.
"Hey!" the shopkeeper smiled like a weasel when he heard this, and he pointed his cuffs to Feng Xiangyun, and there was nothing inside.
"You must have put it in. ”
Feng Xiangyun didn't know where the book had gone, but he was sure of his eyesight.
Playing with the shopkeeper on the table, Feng Xiangyun looked at the line of sight, and the lotus bottle Mei Zheng'an was placed on the table, still spread out to that page.
"What's going on?"
Feng Xiangyun did have doubts, but he knew that the shopkeeper liked to tease others the most, and he would never tell him, so he put on an indifferent look to divert his gaze: "Playing the shopkeeper, is there a new episode of red faces?"
The shopkeeper was a little disappointed, and responded: "It's out, the latest eleven and twelve are coming together, but to be honest, these two are not up to par, I heard that the owner of duckweed is preparing a new theme, second son, do you want the original or the revised version?"
"I read the Yellow Book for the sake of cultivation, righteousness and brightness, of course, it is to be original. "Feng Xiangyun is right.
The Qin State attaches the most importance to the style of martial arts, this kind of books have always been regarded as corrupting the mind, and are listed as banned books, those who want to read and are afraid of being punished by their elders will often buy revised editions, and the revised editions are set with book covers such as "On Martial Arts", and the content in it is another kind of Qiankun, and the tenth volume that Feng Xiangyun carries with him is the revised version.
"Courageous! worthy of being the second son of the palace!"
The shopkeeper was amazed, took out two books from the inner room and handed them to him, Feng Xiangyun suddenly regretted, I don't know if it was to make up for the lack of content, the book covers were originally half-nude paintings, and now they have been changed to fully naked, he is not ashamed, but it is really too ostentatious.
"No one in the younger generation dares to come here to buy the original, you are the first!" The shopkeeper kept boasting, but Feng Xiangyun could hear that he was squeezing him, and his face was full of the meaning of not replacing it with a revised version.
"Tsk, second son, I won't buy the book cover, but I still have a trick to learn?"
"What's the move?"
Playing with the shopkeeper pretending to be mysterious, Yoyo asked: "Second son, which book did you read when you first entered the store?"
"Which one? Isn't it the lotus—" Feng Xiangyun was shocked to find that there were only a few account books on the counter, and there were no other books.
"You just changed it while I didn't see it, no, my eyes have always been on you, mechanism?" Feng Xiangyun muttered to himself, thinking of a few speculations, causing the shopkeeper to laugh on the side.
"How about it, my trick is okay with the reader, this is what I figured out by myself, if you want me to say, my talent is absolutely superior, I am fifty years younger, and the Tianwu Sect will definitely accept my entry......" The shopkeeper saw that he should be harmonious, and he was immediately triumphant and chattered.
I shouldn't have talked!
After all, he was an elder, and Feng Xiangyun was indeed a little curious, so he followed his meaning and asked: "Then dare to ask the shopkeeper, how did this Mingli reader change the book to nothing?"
"It's simple, I'll show you. ”
Playing with the shopkeeper is not sold, and he picked up the lotus bottle plum on the table, which made Feng Xiangyun's pupils shrink, and the book returned to the table for some reason.
"Let's talk about a few situations first, first, no one comes, needless to say, and second, someone comes, but the eyes are not on me, as long as I don't attract attention, I can naturally read the yellow book openly. ”
"Sounds like nonsense, but I didn't turn my back on you. ”
The shopkeeper did not refute, and continued: "In the third case, someone comes, just like the second son face to face, even the afterglow can clearly see the things on the counter, and the way to change the book is to pick it up and put it away." He said as he put the book on the bookshelf beside him.
"Impossible, how can I not see this action?"
Feng Xiangyun didn't believe it very much, not to mention that he was successful in his cultivation, even if he was a person with poor qi and blood and poor eyesight, he would not be able to see this action clearly, unless he was blind.
"I've done this before. The shopkeeper spread his hands and said with a smile: "So you really saw it? I mean the simple eyes saw it, but they didn't care, what's the difference between not seeing it and not seeing it?"
"You mean attention, you took my attention away, but—"
"But I didn't expect this effect? Blind eyes are no different from blindness?" The shopkeeper laughed, "I just found out that people are so fun, let me tell you, I have played in front of many people, but I haven't found it, maybe people are blind!"
"Are people blind?" Feng Xiangyun recounted in distraction, quickly took out a pen and paper from his arms to write down the matter, and bowed to the shopkeeper.
