Volume 1 There Are Fish in the North Chapter 116 The Old Storyteller Who Sells Books

Now that Long Xiangxiang has returned, and Ye Qiu and the others have also helped the Ye family to strengthen the spring, summer, autumn and winter mercenary group, it is natural to continue to go south to experience, according to Long Xiangxiang, there are still many students from the Oriental Academy in the south, these students are either sect giants or overlords, she wants Ye Qiu and others to get acquainted with these people, hoping to help them in the future.

It was only now that Ye Qiu and the others knew that the Oriental Academy not only taught the students how to cultivate, but also helped them match, to the greatest extent, to reduce the number of students who did not know where to go after leaving the academy.

This alone is not comparable to many colleges.

The group packed their bags and prepared to hit the road.

Everyone in the Ye family looked at this group of people, full of reluctance, but they had no intention of persuading them to stay for a few more days.

Ye Fangtu looked at Ye Qiu and said softly: "Be careful outside, try to offend others as little as possible if you have nothing to do, and come back to see me and your mother more often when you have time in the future." ”

Ye Qiu nodded and said, "I will." ”

Ye Qiu's mother took Ye Qiu's hands with tears in her eyes, "Xiaoqiu, you are alone outside, you have to take care of yourself, eat when you need to, don't be hungry." ”

Ye Qiu nodded and said, "The child will." ”

He is actually a little reluctant, although he has been on the border for three months, he has been busy with the affairs of the spring, summer, autumn and winter mercenary group, and he has no time to accompany his father and mother, and he has not even met a few times.

But he still has a lot of things to do, he still has to keep getting stronger, he still has to go to the dragon clan to find the bell, and he has to find Ye Dong......

Ye Chun patted Ye Qiu's shoulder and said with a smile: "Big brother has always believed that you are not an ordinary person, and I look forward to the day when you become famous, and then we will have a few more drinks." ”

Ye Xia hesitated, and finally said indifferently: "Take care." ”

Ye Qiu hugged his fists at everyone, "Take care!"

As soon as he heard that Ye Qiu was leaving, Ye Yiyun ran over with a group of children, large and small, and said reluctantly: "Brother Ye Qiu, are you leaving?"

Ye Qiu squatted down, put his hand on Ye Yiyun's head, and said with a smile: "Brother Ye Qiu still has a lot of things to do, so he can only leave." ”

Ye Yiyun wrinkled his nose and said, "Then will Brother Ye Qiu come back to play with us in the future?"

Ye Qiu nodded and said, "When Brother Ye Qiu has done everything well, he will come back to play with you, and then he will play with you every day." ”

Ye Yiyun stretched out a little thumb and said solemnly: "Pull the hook." ”

Ye Qiu smiled, and also stretched out a little finger, pulled it down with his finger, and said in unison: "Hang yourself on the hook, for a hundred years, you are not allowed to change." ”

Looking at the two people, one big and one small, everyone looked at each other and smiled.

As soon as Huang Shengyu and Yun Moming heard that Ye Qiu and the others were students of the Oriental Academy, their eyes widened one by one, and then they were full of bitterness, they all thought that Ye Qiu would always stay and manage the Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter Mercenary Group, but now they are afraid that it is impossible.

According to what Ye Qiu said, the branch of the Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter Mercenary Group here will be taken care of by Huang Shengyu and Yun Moming in the future, Yun Moming is the kind of lazy person, it is no problem to let him kill people and fight, but if he wants to take care of the Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter Mercenary Group, it will definitely be a joke.

So this matter fell on Huang Shengyu's head alone, he now finally knew why Ye Qiu said that there would be one more head of the Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter Mercenary Regiment in the future, and after a long time, Ye Qiu, the third head of the regiment, was just a nominal name, and he was completely a hands-off shopkeeper.

What's even more annoying is that in addition to Ye Qiu, there is also a Ye Dong They haven't even seen it, but Ye Qiu doesn't say it, they naturally don't dare to ask, in general, this spring, summer, autumn and winter mercenary group, in fact, there are only two leaders, Ye Chun and Ye Xia.

Thinking of this, they always feel a feeling of being deceived, but the spring, summer, autumn and winter mercenary group is now on the right track, and it will continue to grow, without such an opponent as the iron-blooded mercenary group, it will not be long before the spring, summer, autumn and winter mercenary group will definitely become the largest force on the border, then the status of these people in the future is naturally not comparable to now, so thinking about it, there is no complaint in my heart.

At the same time as Ye Qiu and his party left the border, in a mansion to the north, an old man was squinting his eyes and smoking a dry cigarette.

Beside the old man, a woman in Tsing Yi was looking through countless books, her brows furrowed deeper and deeper, and then she threw a book on the ground and complained: "Grandpa, what are you buying, what I want is a sword book, a sword book as powerful as Ye Qiu." ”

The old man will spit out a large mouthful of smoke, so that his whole person is shrouded in smoke, and said with a smile: "How can you become a master with practice, cultivation is the same as eating, you have to eat one bite at a time, take your time, take your time, and when you have practiced all this, you will practice that powerful sword move." ”

The woman in Tsing Yi put on a smiling face and said coldly: "If I don't practice, I must find that kind of very powerful sword move, preferably better than that guy's, and then I must let him know how miserable it is to look down on Miss Ben." ”

When the smoke cleared, the old man took another breath, sucking hard, his eyes were still half-squinted, and he said indifferently: "Even if you practice a powerful sword move, you are not Ye Qiu's opponent." ”

The woman in Tsing Yi snorted coldly, "Why?"

The old man put down the dry smoke, opened his eyes, and said with a smile: "You see, Ye Qiu is not practicing a sword, but he can use that powerful sword qi, plus in addition to those flying knives, there is also that gun, and you have also seen that cold ice skill, but it is not much weaker than that sword qi, do you have to carry a gun in addition to practicing swords?"

The old man shook his head, "Otherwise, a girl is hanging around with a spear on her back, what kind of system will she become, and she won't be able to marry when the time comes, but how can she be good?"

The woman in Tsing Yi frowned and said, "You're still not my grandfather?"

The old man laughed, closed his eyes, and continued to smoke.

A man in fancy clothes walked in, bent over with his fists clenched, and said respectfully: "Old lady, as you said, that Ye Qiu really has another identity." ”

The old man didn't speak, he didn't shake his head, he didn't even nod his head, he didn't even open his eyes.

The man continued: "That group of people are all students of the Oriental Academy, and the details of the Ye family have also been clarified, it is a family called Snow Moon City in the Northern Cold Land, and because of a vendetta, the clan moved south here. ”

The old man suddenly asked, "Are they already gone?"

The man nodded and said, "Not long after I left, it seems that I went to the Song Kingdom." ”

The old man said indifferently: "I know, you go down." ”

The man answered, turned around and walked out of the house, but the woman in Tsing Yi suddenly asked, "Grandpa, Ye Qiu, is he leaving?"

The old man nodded and said, "What, reluctantly?"

The woman in Tsing Yi blushed slightly, and snorted coldly: "Who can't bear it? It's just that he's gone, who am I looking for revenge?"

The old man said disapprerovingly: "Didn't you hear it just now, he is a student of Oriental College, so you can go directly to Oriental College in the future." ”

"Oh. The woman in Tsing Yi actually answered, and then looked at her grandfather, and found that the old man still had his eyes closed, so she walked over lightly, and then stood in front of the door and looked south, but unfortunately she couldn't see the thin figure.

The old man in the room suddenly sighed: "Hey, the woman is not staying, although the person is still in the Zhu family, his heart has already followed the others." ”

The woman in Tsing Yi turned around, "Grandpa......"

The old man laughed, "It's okay, grandpa understands, grandpa understands." ”

The woman in Tsing Yi glared at the old man and stomped her feet, but unfortunately the old man closed his eyes and naturally couldn't see it.

The woman in Tsing Yi continued to look at the south, and suddenly felt a little unhappy, Dead Ye Qiu, don't you go if you have the ability, didn't you say that Miss Ben can't even hold a sword, one day, Miss Ben will let you know that I, Zhu Xiaoqi, am also a person who can become a master.

Ye Qiu and the others went all the way south, and they didn't do anything else along the way except for cultivation.

After walking like this for about six or seven days, I finally entered a small city.

Northern Snow City is the northernmost city in the Song Kingdom, and Wen Shisheng, the city lord of this small city, is a student from Oriental College, and he is also a student of Su Jin.

Wen Shisheng left the Oriental Academy ten years ago, and later with the help of the Oriental Academy, he became the lord of the Northern Snow City, and over the years, he has kept the Northern Snow City in order, making it more and more prosperous, and has even been rewarded by the Emperor of the Song Kingdom.

It is because Wen Shisheng's reputation in North Snow City is excellent, and he is deeply loved by the people, some people will always talk about Wen Shisheng's great achievements over the years when they have nothing to do, and some people even compile Wen Shisheng's deeds into a book and sell them in the market, which can always be bought quickly. It's just that Wen Shisheng came forward to organize it, and no one dared to do this kind of thing anymore, but those books that have been circulated have now become rare books, and they are more sought-after than many powerful skills.

And now, a storyteller threatens to have such a book in his hand, and he will take it out for auction in this restaurant, and for a while, the whole restaurant is crowded with people, which can make the shopkeeper happy.

He didn't have much thought about that book, and even if he did, he would definitely not spend that money to buy it, and he would not spend that money to buy a story that he didn't know if it was true or false, and he couldn't eat it when he brought it back, and he couldn't make himself a peerless powerhouse, so what was the use? But as long as he could attract guests, even if he didn't eat, he would always have to drink some wine, and he would naturally have money to earn.

Ye Qiu and the others sat on the second floor, looking at the various characters crowded below, and couldn't help frowning.

Zhou Kang smiled and said, "Our Senior Brother Wen is really ......"

Qiu Xiaoyun pouted and said, "It's just a book, is it worth so many people rushing to ask for it?"

Long Xiangxiang said with a smile: "Wen Shisheng's previous story is very legendary, and the people in this city regard him as an immortal-like existence, which is not an uncommon thing. ”

Qiu Xiaoyun was dissatisfied: "I don't like this practice anyway. ”

Ye Qiu said with a smile: "It's not Senior Brother Wen who asked them to do this, anyway, everyone is like this, they always like to chase after what others say well, once there is a celebrity, they can't wait to move him to the house to provide for him, and even want to find out what this person did and what they ate today, but I don't know what these people are called." ”

Qiu Xiaoyun sighed, shook his head, and continued to look down.

"Old man Liu, do you really have a legend? Don't treat us as blind, if you really have that book, why don't you go around telling books. ”

The storyteller laughed and said: "The old man can tell so many stories, relying on this life legend, otherwise, where did I get so many legendary stories, little old man? ”

Someone else asked, "Then why do you think of selling it now?"

The storyteller smiled and said: "I'm old, I can't talk about it for a few years, but I can't let such a legendary story follow me into the soil, right? ”

Qiu Xiaoyun said with a smile: "This old man is real, I don't know if the book in his hand is true or false." ”

Ye Qiu also thought this matter was quite interesting, and couldn't help but smile and said, "Looking at his appearance, I don't want to lie anymore, maybe there really is such a book." ”

Qiu Xiaoyun asked: "Then how much do you say he is going to sell, so many people want that book, will he open his mouth?"

Ye Qiu shook his head and said, "It's hard to say. ”

In the crowd below, another person asked, "Then you can at least take out the book first and let us see if it's true?"

The storyteller hesitated for a moment, then drank a glass of wine and said with a smile: "Okay." ”

With that, he stood up and put his hand into his arms, and everyone couldn't help but stare wide-eyed at his dry hands.

A blue book soon appeared in front of everyone's eyes, the paper was very ordinary, even yellowed, and the cover was not a fine parchment, but a relatively good quality paper, on which there was also a layer of oiled paper, which shone in the light.

The old man held the book in both hands, turned a page, then held it up, and said with a smile: "Little old man, I have been traveling south and north for so many years, but I have never lied to people, this book was bought when the city lord of Wen had not banned it, it is a real genuine product, I dare to say that there is only one such book in this Northern Snow City." ”

The crowd narrowed their eyes, either nodded or shook their heads, and whispered.

Qiu Xiaoyun couldn't help it, stood up, and asked loudly from upstairs, "Old man, how much does your book sell?"

When everyone heard this, they all looked upstairs, and then at the old storyteller, and they all nodded, and they all seemed to know how much the old man was going to sell.

The storyteller put the book away, stretched out a hand, and said with a smile: "This number?"

Someone frowned and said, "Five thousand taels?"

The old man shook his head, and someone asked: "Old man Liu, you don't plan to sell it for 50,000 taels, although this book is precious, it is not worth this amount." ”

The old man shook his head and smiled: "The little old man has already said that this book is only sold to people who are destined, so it is only five hundred taels, but the little old man has one condition." ”
