003 The Secret of Practice
"Pick-up? How does it sound weird? Zuo Teng complained and immediately took action.
casually found a cabinet and pointed it to Lin Xiaocao, and then pointed to the sofa: "Put the things in that cabinet, you can sleep on the sofa at night, I still have something to do, you can clean it up yourself." ”
After saying that, he hurried downstairs.
The system says that there is business coming to the door, and it must not deceive people.
Zuo Teng already felt that the bookstore business was difficult, so he naturally didn't dare to let go of any opportunity.
Besides, everything is difficult at the beginning, and if this head can be opened well, the back may be smooth.
In this way, Zuo Teng sat quietly by the cash register for half an hour, without waiting for anyone to come to the door.
When ten minutes passed, Lin Xiaocao had already come down, and was sitting beside him in a daze with him at the moment.
Zuo Teng's behavior of hurriedly running downstairs and then sitting still made his image even more mysterious in Lin Xiaocao's heart.
"System, is it because the door is not opened, the guests dare not come to the door?" Zuo Teng was anxious.
"The door is open? Now there is no single business, and after the door is opened, will you pay for the additional consumption of the purification circle? The system responded with a sneer.
"Then tell me what this door-to-door business is all about! I'm sitting here like a fool with my eyes blackened right now, right? Zuo Teng felt very painful.
"Do you understand induction? How can it be so concrete. The system's tone was very casual, "Anyway, this business will come to the door today, you just have to grasp it." ”
"Okay......" Zuo Teng was speechless.
Idle is also idle, he went to the bookshelf to find a few basic books, ready to teach Lin Xiaocao to read.
Fortunately, Mandarin is the universal language of all worlds, and Zuo Teng's teaching work is much less troublesome.
"Lin Xiaocao, starting today, you will learn to read with me, and when you have learned almost the words, you will go to the bookshelf to find books to learn by yourself." Zuo Teng put a few books on the cash register with a serious expression: "As my Zuo Teng's sister, I can't be illiterate."
By the way, do you know what are the necessary skills for a younger sister? Let me tell you, there are a few basics, which are tidying up the room, studying hard, dressing up, sharing worries for my brother, and making my brother happy. ”
While speaking, Zuo Teng felt very proud in his heart: a thirteen or fourteen-year-old child, bluffing through words, will naturally forget about the marriage contract, and be a beautiful and caring sister with peace of mind, hahahaha......
"Oh." Lin Xiaocao felt that Zuo Teng's words were a little strange, but he couldn't understand it, he only felt that Zuo Teng was very good to him, and he was willing to teach himself to read and write.
Soon, the courtyard sounded "Ah......h The voice of "Pop Buddha and Te Tween" is full of childlike fun.
Zuo Teng seriously carried out the teaching work, occasionally praised, occasionally reprimanded, and only felt that it felt really good to be an older brother.
It's that this sister is not good-looking at all now, and she looks malnourished, and I hope she can look good in the future.
After another half an hour, there was finally a knock on the door.
……
Outside the door of Yue Study, a young man with red face and white teeth, bright eyes and black hair walked around the dirty water on the street, his robe was ordinary but clean, his collar and cuffs were meticulously arranged, and his steps were not hurried or slow, but the direction was clear.
"I sensed a huge change in the source qi here last night, I don't know what happened......" The young man whispered in his heart, and couldn't help but hope for some adventure.
He was 18 years old, but he had not yet embarked on the path of spiritual practice. Although he knew a long time ago that his ability to sense the source qi was far beyond that of ordinary people, how could he embark on the path of cultivation because of his ordinary family background and the fact that there were no cultivators among his relatives, that is, the source priests?
You must know that all the cultivation methods in Mohe City are controlled by the three major families of the Gongsun family, the Qian family and the Wu family, and anyone who wants to embark on the path of cultivation must obey the orders of these three families.
He didn't want to lose his freedom, so he naturally couldn't practice, but he was obsessed with it, and he would often go to the realm where he found the source qi to change, hoping to have some opportunities.
Usually, he searches for children who want to read and write in the East Fourth Ring Road of Mohe City, and as a teacher, he can barely save a little money and improve the life of his family at the same time.
"The secret of cultivation is given to all those who are destined." The young man came to the door of Yue Shuzhai and saw such a sentence engraved on the door, and his heartstrings shook.
Without the slightest hesitation, he put his hand on the door, and the sound of "knock knock" sounded.
……
"It's finally here!" Hearing the knock on the door, Zuo Teng instantly became excited, and immediately ran to the door.
"Calm down, calm down! Our style can't be low! Otherwise, people don't want to pay......" The voice of the system sounded at the right time.
"Damn, you say that! It turns out that we are really cheating money! Zuo Teng seemed to have been poured cold water.
"Of course not." The system responded like this, but did not say much, and Zuo Teng's confidence was even less so.
With heavy steps and a stiff smile, he came to the door step by step, and then gently pulled it open.
"Young guest, inside please." Keeping in mind the system's reminder of "keeping style", Zuo Teng brought the person into the door in a flat tone.
"I don't know what to call a guest?" Zuo Teng walked to the cash register and pointed to the small blackboard on the wall: "The rules of our store are written here, and customers should take a look at them first, so as not to cause unpleasantness." ”
Lin Xiaocao, who was sitting at the cash register, had already stopped reading pinyin, and watched Zuo Teng perform "Cloud Light and Light Breeze" there.
Obviously, he was making fun of her very inappropriately just now, and he seemed to be a different person in an instant......
"Zhang Xusheng, bow chief Zhang, the rising sun." The young man named Zhang Xusheng carefully introduced his name and quickly looked at the situation in the store.
The man who opened the door for him was about twenty years old, not much older than him, with short black hair, a delicate face, and strange clothes, white short sleeves, blue shorts, white shoes and white socks, with holes in the shoes and a long hook drawn on the side.
This strange outfit is surprisingly refreshing and coordinated.
There was also a little girl at the counter, who was no different from the girls from poor families he often saw, but she didn't know why she was in the shop.
Zhang Xusheng carefully read the content on the small blackboard, and when he saw the key words of "cultivation-related books" and "one gold coin at a time", his pupils shrank, but he immediately looked as usual.
While watching, Zhang Xusheng said to Zuo Teng: "You are the person in charge of this store?" Don't know what to call you? And this one is ......"
"Zuo Teng, this is my sister, Lin Xiaocao." Zuo Teng's reply was not so serious.
"Your sister?" Zhang Xusheng was very surprised, but he noticed that Zuo Teng didn't want to say more, so he didn't ask more, and changed the topic: "I just became an adult, so I cheekily called you Brother Zuo." Brother Zuo, I don't know how long you have been open in this store? Can the secret of cultivation in the book be taken seriously? Can that book really make people practice? ”
"Huh." The corners of Zuo Teng's mouth twitched, and his face remained unchanged and said: "Don't hide it, my store only opened today, and I didn't do any publicity, after all, the aroma of wine is not afraid of deep alleys!"
I can't answer the secret of cultivation, but if you want to find the answer, you can read it in the store for a while.
Of course, as you can see, the cost of my shop is not cheap, and you need to come up with your own ideas. ”
Zuo Teng set up a set, but reminded him euphemistically, seeing that Zhang Xusheng is not a rich person, if he cheats others into losing all his money, he will also feel uneasy.
It opened today, and this corresponds to the changes in the source qi I sensed...... Zhang Xusheng thought in his heart, feeling that the change in source qi must be related to cultivation, so he no longer struggled, and took out a gold coin from the cuff of his robe in pain.
"That being the case, I'm going to bother Brother Zuo today."
Zuo Teng took the gold coin, and was amazed in his heart, thinking that the people in this world were really interesting, and it was obviously a transaction for money, so he had to say that he was bothered.
The gold coin given by Zhang Xusheng depicts a river and a giant tree, and the corresponding scene of the giant tree Zuo Teng saw it when he opened the window in the morning, but the river did not know the specific meaning.
But he didn't ask, after the system confirmed that the gold coin was real, he threw the gold coin into the drawer of the cash register, and then took out a copy of "Dou Po" from the cabinet behind him, and said: "This is the book that hides the secret of cultivation, you take it and find a favorite place to look at it, and the other books are on the shelf, you can choose what you want to read." ”
Can this book really allow me to practice?
In the past few years, in addition to taking refuge in the three major families, he has tried all other methods that may make Zhang Xusheng become a source scholar, but he has not succeeded, so he is skeptical about whether it can help him become a source priest in exchange for a gold coin.
But this source qi fluctuation is the biggest and shortest he has sensed in recent years, and Zuo Teng behaves very much like a master of his mind, and he can't help but believe that this "Dou Po" can open a new life for him!
Bang bang bang...... Zhang Xusheng's heart was beating fast, forcibly maintained a calm look, reached out and took the book "Dou Po", and after getting it, he didn't rush to open it, took one hand behind him, and came to the courtyard in the direction of Zuo Teng's finger.
"This ......" Zhang Xusheng's attention was all on the small blackboard and Zuo Teng's body just now, and he didn't notice the situation in the yard at all.
After a brief distraction for a few seconds, Zhang Xusheng took a step and walked towards the compartment in the opposite corner of the courtyard without hurrying. He wanted to see what was in the cubicle over there.
Zuo Teng remembered that he hadn't gone to another semi-enclosed compartment to see it, so he asked Lin Xiaocao to pay attention to the movement at the door, and then followed Zhang Xusheng and said with a smile: "I just picked up something." ”
The two walked side by side on the green grass, Zuo Teng touched the tables, chairs and sofas passing by from time to time, and Zhang Xusheng commented on the cartoon animal patterns on the carpet when he walked through a few carpets, which he thought was very interesting.
Soon, I came to the compartment in the opposite corner. Zhang Xusheng's expression remained unchanged, but Zuo Teng opened his mouth wide in shock.
The chamber was filled with a number of metal instruments, all covered with clear glass, with different desserts and cut fruit on the glass.
Others are machines for self-service drinks, with stacks of white porcelain cups, lids, and straws next to the machines, and there are ten types of drinks, including several types of tea, soft drinks, and juices.
"Damn, although this is quite appropriate and in line with the style of our store, but it is also ...... It's not mysterious! Zuo Teng complained in his heart, and then took a glass of Coke, which was also a method for Zhang Xusheng to show him.
I plugged in a straw and took a sip of Coke, it was so sour and delicious that it was many times better than what I drank on Earth!
"Think about it this way, even if the cultivation book is deceitful, with this self-help diet, one gold coin is not considered a black heart." Zuo Tengmei thought about it, and said to Zhang Xusheng, who looked calm but a little timid, and didn't dare to make a move:
"If the guests don't know what flavor they like, they can try it all, anyway, these are not charged, only one, you can't waste it, waste fines!"
"Okay, thank you Brother Zhang for reminding me." Zhang Xusheng responded with a smile, and then took a glass of orange juice.
After Zuo Teng left with two glasses of Coke with a smile, Zhang Xusheng took the orange juice, chose a table and chair that could not be seen at the cash register, took a deep breath, and solemnly placed the book "Dou Po" in front of him.
