Chapter 9 Our generation is upright and will never pay
The people on the street were talking to each other, as if the carriage from the Hou Mansion represented some kind of symbol.
"Children of the Black?"
Is there such a name for secondary two in this era?
Shi Ti spit out a groove that didn't concern him, and turned around to ask.
"That's interesting, who are they talking about?"
Wushuang wanted to speak and stopped.
"That's it...... Childe, you. ”
Shi Ti was full of wonders, why do I have an extra nickname?
"My dad's nickname is 'pitch black'?"
"No, you were struck by lightning last time...... You know. ”
Emma, you bunch can't forget, can you! As a gentleman, I don't even know what words to use to scold you.
It's already miserable to be struck by lightning and almost fall into a box, what about your conscience?!
"Come on, don't go around here, change places."
"Childe, I'm afraid it's not enough to change places. You have to change the land. ”
"Why?"
"The news that you were struck by lightning has spread throughout the entire Destiny of Heaven. This was only yesterday......"
"The entire Tenmaginji...... It's all spread all over the place? ”
The corners of Shi Ti's mouth twitched.
*************
It's a bit difficult to keep a low profile in the future.
Sighing, he put on a coat and hat, covering most of his face.
He and Wushuang found a place to get out of the car first, and then put on a black cloak to cover up the description. Although the color makes Shi tired have to complain, but this is the most low-key.
"Childe, where are you going?"
"I always feel depressed today, of course I have to go to a good place that makes people's blood spine, tense and exciting, and all the young people in the world yearn for it."
"Ah, no, okay? You've just ...... I can't stand it. ”
"Do you and I seem to be afraid of death? Say no more, hurry up. ”
Then they came to the Changning Book Market.
……
……
For normal people, visiting the book market is not only not exciting, but even boring. However, for the occasional time, visiting the book market is quite risky.
There is a high risk of excessive blood loss.
He is a gentleman who can find his own happiness in any normal book market.
However, I am tired today not to experience the happiness of the everyday, but to learn a little more about the Xuan Realm.
You can't ask your father about this kind of thing, otherwise you will be dragged to the Xuan Temple again. Erniang is poor and unreliable.
Thinking about it, I can only ask the makeup girl.
But she was the busiest in the family, and it was too long for her to come back from work. I simply came out to look for clues on my own.
I can't say what he wants to know, only books.
Changning Book Market is located in the southern city of Tianmingji, with a huge scale, occupying two streets and twelve lanes. Bookstores and bookstalls are lined up, and it is the second largest book market in Tianmingji after Huanghua Lane in Beicheng.
Yuzhou is respected in the north, and many dignitaries live in Beicheng, and the Hou Mansion is in the most prosperous area of Beicheng.
In comparison, Nancheng is much more mixed with dragons and snakes. But no matter what the era, the vitality and creativity of the common people are the most vivid. Therefore, the bustle of the southern city is more luxurious and precious than the northern city, and it is a different taste experience.
The Changning Book Market was opened in the south of the city, and the guests who came and went also had their own backgrounds, and no one paid attention to them when they were tired of walking in the meantime.
Walking into this place is like dreaming back to a past life. When I was preparing for the exam, oh no, I was preparing for the exam every year, why didn't I go to the bookstore every day and refresh the questions every night, if I didn't take the exam, I could really remember my youth. Now that I think about it, it is full of bitter tears.
There are not many books about the Xuan Realm. After all, from the upper class to the lower class, from the folk to the palace of life, the deeds and legends of the mysteries can be said to fill the ears of the people everywhere.
The information of the mystics was registered, and the temples that worshiped the main gods were blooming everywhere. Not only Yushu, but also Kyushu all over the world have the existence of Xuan Temple. The existence of these cultivators who are different from mortals is not only not a secret, but also occupies one of the focuses of life.
It's just that none of these books have anything to do with the key information. It's mostly wild history and legends, and it's useless to be tired.
But that doesn't mean he doesn't have a doorway.
He walked into a nondescript bookstore, and there were no customers. The shopkeeper is a fat man, with a sloppy beard and a very good character, but a pair of eyes are very flexible.
Shi Ti whispered.
“…… In the heart. ”
The shopkeeper's perfunctory expression was replaced by courtesy and affection.
"Forever!"
This bookstore, so to speak, is a tired private bookstore, and he used to come every month. Because it not only provides book collection services, but also provides professional book search services.
From time to time, one-ninth of the treasures are placed here, which shows the high degree of secrecy.
"Shopkeeper, do you remember me?"
"How can you not remember."
The fat shopkeeper who answered the code like a stream smiled.
"After yesterday, Shi Gongzi's name has spread all over Tianmingji, and now he is a well-known person in the entire Yuzhou."
Are you book sellers so good at talking? How do I feel like a laughing stock?
"It's okay to be a laughing stock, you can be a laughing stock for so many people, where can ordinary people do it."
I withdraw the preface, you will talk a!
"Without further ado, I'll tell you something ruthless." Shi Ti whispered.
"Needless to say, it's already ready for you."
The fat shopkeeper turned around and opened the drawer, took out a small cloth bag, sneakily stuffed it, and squeezed his eyebrows.
Shi Ti listened to it and wondered for a while.
Really? Before I even spoke, you found the book for me? Are you really a professional book hunter?
The cloth bag was opened, and two pages were casually opened, and Shi Ti's eyes almost sticked, and he couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
The content of this book is not obscure at all, mainly not obscure.
I was tired of watching it and felt a burst of righteous indignation.
You bastard! I'm a tired young man, can you show me this? Where is the moral bottom line? Where is the courtesy, righteousness and shame? Where is the payment code? Don't take it with your son-in-law yet!
Calm down, Shi Ti has already given all the silver.
There are two books in total, one for six hundred taels.
Oh, my God!!
Brother Chang, can your real man's spirit not attack at this time! I don't have any money left!
The fat shopkeeper smiled and accepted the money, compared to the thumbs up.
"Shi Gongzi is really a dragon and a tiger, and he was only ...... yesterday In the blink of an eye, admire and admire. ”
“…… I was impulsive. ”
"And so it is. Man, of course, is to rush. ”
Shut up, shameless horseman!
"That's not what I'm talking about, I'm asking...... You remember to keep it secret. ”
The fat shopkeeper said solemnly: "That's natural, the little one has practiced in the stove, and the iron rod can't pry it open." In the past, it wasn't for you to do it properly. Otherwise, just the books you buy will be less sinful. ”
……
is worthy of being a 'scholar' who is still raising his arms and shouting before he dies, Brother Chang, I toast you.
Shi Ti whispered the request to the fat shopkeeper, but the fat shopkeeper couldn't cry or laugh after listening to it.
"I thought you had some extremely difficult requests, so that's it. Simple, you wait. ”
……
Are those books you just showed me harder to find than the secrets of the Occult Realm?
The world I've crossed over is really weird.
The fat shopkeeper's movements were not as cautious as before, but they were also a little cover-up, and it was obvious that none of the things he took out could be put on the table to sell. If it weren't for the old customers like Shi Ti to ask, he wouldn't be able to take it out at will.
"Look, these are the books. I assure you that whatever you can buy on the market, even if it is a collection in the Xuan Temple, will never exceed what I have here. ”
He took a box of books, beautifully packaged and made of high-quality materials. Take out a book at random, and sure enough, it's different from those bewitching sluts outside. It introduces the introductory knowledge of the Xuan Realm from shallow to deep, and it seems to be a reading for entry-level Xuan people.
Rao is like this, and it is not a book that can be seen in the outside.
"Good book."
When tired, close the book.
"I bought these books, how much does it cost?"
"A book of sixty taels and four dollars of silver, the son bought a lot, and the fraction was erased. It was seven hundred and twenty taels, and as usual, the small shop also collected cash tickets and cash. ”
Sixty taels ...... It's enough for Wushuang's salary for three months, and after buying it here, Wushuang will work for three years.
Shi Tired thought painfully.
Shi Ti spends as much as 10,000 yuan on books every year, and he has a huge amount of money in hand. But now that it has been closed in recent years, Brother Chang has consumed another wave of ruthless consumption, and there is no money left in his hands.
In this day and age, books are a rare thing. Not because of the high cost of production, but because of respect for knowledge. Books are carriers of knowledge, but not knowledge itself. What is precious is that there are things hidden in it that are far more precious than money.
Everyone recognizes this truth, including the mysteries.
Shi Ti was noncommittal about the price, took a book, flipped through it casually, and said coldly.
"Take out the collection too."
The fat shopkeeper's pupils shook when he boarded.
'Zangben' is a code word for the underground book market, which means good goods at the bottom of the box.
He smiled bitterly, but it was more ugly than crying: "Son, how dare the little one sell the collection of books in front of you, isn't this self-inflicted?" ”
Tiredness is just a casual temptation.
It is common knowledge in the industry that underground booksellers have books, and the fat shopkeeper gives the books too refreshingly.
"yes, isn't that self-inflicted?"
Shi Ti repeated and continued.
"How much business do I give you every year, it's not impossible to hide with me, so I have to change places to collect books."
The fat boss was suddenly defeated.
"It's not a small smuggling, it's really this, you have such a family background, of course you know that the people strictly prohibit the sale of information from the Xuan Realm. But...... Alas, it's okay, this book is useless here in the small one, and it is true that only the prince can afford it. ”
He opened the compartment at his feet to take the book from it.
"Change it."
Shi Ti suddenly said: "Just this chance, otherwise I will turn around and leave." ”
The fat shopkeeper stiffened, immediately closed the dark compartment, gritted his teeth and said: "Then please take care of the little one, and the little one will come back in half an hour." ”
"That's pretty much it."
Watching the fat shopkeeper leave, he looked at the book tiredly and boredly.
This old boy is really not authentic, in front of whom is the class to get an axe.
I have been collecting books for 17 years, and I have used fire, theft, and gas explosions. You underground businessman, dare to put your headless stuff in the store? Treat me like a mallet.
However, although the fat shopkeeper went to fetch the book, he was tired and muttered again.
This time, the fat shopkeeper should not dare to hide his private interests anymore, and the books retrieved should be good goods.
He was worried about something else.
I.
I don't have any money......
There are only ten taels left in hand.
Not to mention that he can't afford to buy his collection, he can't even afford these twelve.
How is this good? Continue to pay on credit?
It's not impossible, but if my dad asks me what books I bought, how would I answer?
"You chase me, you chase me, I'll let you hey, hey, hey"?
What's more, there are so many books to read, so you can't take them and hide them again.
And when I think of the process of collecting books from time to time, I feel that it is difficult and complicated, and I am too lazy to do it.
Ah, wait.
Tired suddenly had a bold idea.
He looked left and right and saw that there were no outsiders, and chanted silently.
“…… The years are endless. ”
Once in the mysterious space, he went to the bookshelf to remove the new book.
What I just read appeared in the diary on the third day of the ninth month. Obviously, he only skimmed many places roughly, and he didn't have time to look at them carefully, and they were all completely recorded in the book.
How long does the shopkeeper say he will come back? Half an hour?
Seemingly...... This wave can be prostituted for nothing.
Back in this world, nothing has changed, he didn't use thirty seconds there, and less than half a second has passed in this life. This life is also the kung fu of blinking.
Shi Ti quickly flipped through the book, but he didn't skip a page, he swept it all.
When I returned to the mysterious space to confirm, I found that "The Third Day of September" had not become thicker, but there were twelve more books on the bookshelves in the next row.
It was the book he had just flipped through.
This is?!
This has not happened in the past. He thought back to what he had just done, but he had only finished the whole book.
Could it be ......
He returned to the present world and wanted to take out a copy casually, but his movements paused, and he simply went to the dark grid. After touching it a few times to confirm the mechanism, he easily opened the secret compartment and took out the hidden book inside.
The collection here contains a book called "The Heavenly Question". Shi Ti simply opened and flipped through it, without carefully identifying the contents, and after just flipping through it, he directly entered the mysterious space.
Sure enough, this one was added to the shelves.
Shi Ti understood.
It turns out that this space has special rules for books, but any book that has been read can be reproduced. If the whole book is turned over, the whole book can be reproduced.
After understanding, how can you still not know how to do it.
Within half an hour, the books in his store had been flipped through and obediently added to the tired bookshelf.
When the fat shopkeeper came back, he didn't know that his treasures had all been poisoned, so he was mysterious, and handed a small wooden box to Shi Ti.
The wooden box was dirty, and there was only one book in it. The dust is an inch thick, and if you blow a breath, you will cough for a long time.
"I can't help it!"
The fat shopkeeper said nervously: "You can't move it at will!" ”
"Why?"
"I haven't even opened this book once since I started it, and if it weren't for a noble person like Shi Gongzi, I would never have shown it to you. The things inside can be called the treasures of the Xuan Realm, if the son is unwilling to buy them, it is still too late to turn back. ”
Shi Ti smiled: "Then you have to show me to know if it's so valuable." ”
The fat shopkeeper was nervous, but finally let go.
Hehe, as long as you're willing to let me see, then everything will be fine.
The road is one foot high, and the magic is one foot high, but I am not only one foot and five feet high, but I also open the hanging.
Shi Ti opened the book, took a look, and suddenly his eyebrows ached, as if there was a fire burning, and he screamed!
He was so miserable that he subconsciously recited the four words silently, entered the mysterious space, and tried to avoid the pain.
Sure enough, in the mysterious space, the pain that seemed to touch the depths of the soul would disappear without a trace.
However, this time back, there was a huge difference.
There has always been only a bookshelf, and there is a mysterious space of light and darkness.
One more bookshelf.
The shelves were empty, not even a single book.
Only two large characters are engraved on the shelf, which is eye-catching and abnormal.
It is the oldest seal character, and it can be read inexplicably when tired.
“…… Banned. ”
