Chapter 59: Strange Books Pick Up Leaks [Seeking to Read]

"I wonder what book my little brother is looking for?"

The young stall owner said in as gentle a tone as possible.

Seeing him stretch out his hand to stop himself from rummaging through the books, Zong Xian suddenly had doubts in his heart.

Why doesn't this book seller let others pick books?

However, the freedom to buy and sell, if the other party is not happy, he is really not strong, you must know that there are many interests and forces involved behind this Linlangfang, and making trouble here is tantamount to offending many forces at the same time.

So he immediately withdrew his arm and pondered for a moment before speaking slowly.

"I'm looking for a book I can't read..."

As soon as these words came out, the stall owner immediately frowned, and he was just about to shake his head, but he saw Zong Xian's serious expression again, so he lowered his head and pondered.

But this requirement is too broad after all, he does not know the other party's level of knowledge and reading preferences, these conditions can affect the scope of the target covered by the element of "can't understand".

"That's too broad."

"Can you be more detailed?"

The stall owner said helplessly.

In fact, Zong Xian was also thinking about what to say, since the "Xingyi Fist Sutra" was in a state of disguise, it would definitely not use the original title, and the content must be very strange.

Thinking of this, he raised his head and added another condition.

"It's the kind of book that doesn't understand the meaning at all!"

"The older the better."

Hearing him say this, the young stall owner immediately raised his eyebrows, as if he remembered something.

He clapped his hands violently and turned back to open the boxes of rattan wood behind him.

After rummaging, I took out a book that was not too thick in black leather.

"Whew..."

After blowing the dust on it, the stall owner handed the book to Zong Xian to look through.

The stall owner's name is Zhang Zhenshi, who is a son of a family in the county next door who has suffered an accident, and has just arrived in Bei'an County Government in the past few days.

He is a book-loving guy, but he has a limited amount of entanglement, and the most luggage he carries with him is those books.

Among them, there are a large number of rare books, rare books, and old books handed down from his ancestors, which he thinks should have some value.

So he spent some money to set up a stall in Linlang Fang in the inner city, and the appointment period was ten days, hoping to sell some of the books and save some silver in order to make a fortune.

In the past few days, I have changed the tricks every day to put out those books in turn, but no one cares about them, but they are in vain.

On the contrary, the few finely painted Spring Palace atlases that I got by chance sold for a good price.

The book he just found out is also a strange book, tracing back to the source, it is said that this book hides a big secret, but after several generations of treasure and flip through it, it is found nothing, and in the long run, it will no longer be treasured by Zhang Zhenshi's grandfather.

And the weirdest thing about this book is that after reading it for a long time, you will feel dizzy, and your blood will be sluggish, which is very uncomfortable!

As the saying goes, there must be a demon when things go wrong, the Zhang family knows that this book must be famous, but it is a pity that they have not found it after hundreds of years of research, and Zhang Zhenshi's generation finally became a miscellaneous book sold along the street on the bookslet.

He had also put this book out two days ago, and there was really a person dressed as a school gentleman who was interested, but after reading it, he shook his head and sighed and left, and fell on the side of the street for nothing.

Later, Zhang Zhenshi simply put away this strange book, but he didn't expect someone to take the initiative to come to the door today, although he was not sure if the other party wanted this book, but it was enough to attract his attention.

Zong Xian stretched out his hand to take the book, he looked at the cover first, and found that the title of the book was "Hun Yi Tong Yuan", which read like a book like a Zen scripture.

The whole book is not thick, but the weight is very solid.

After flipping through the pages, he found that the content on it didn't make sense, and before he had turned two or three pages, he felt that his head was dizzy, and the surging qi and blood in his body faintly had a retrograde tendency.

He hurriedly closed it, closed his eyes and shook his head, and silently started to maintain his health.

After a few breaths, he let out a long breath.

Then I flipped to the end and tried to read backwards from the end, but found that the last few pages still didn't make sense even if they were reversed.

However, from the penultimate page onwards, the inversion of the content has some patterns and meanings.

At that moment, Zong Xian knew in his heart, and understood that this strange book should be the "Xingyi Fist Sutra" mentioned in [Sudden Chance], even if it wasn't, it must be another trick, buy it back and study it first, so as not to have too many dreams at night.

In case it's not right, he can still come back to look for it in the next two days, anyway, Zong Xian believes that before the statute of limitations in the chance clue has passed, the cheats book will definitely not be cut off.

"I want this book."

"Is there a book like this?"

He held "Muddy Meaning Circle" with one hand, and asked more questions by the way.

I saw that the stall owner shook his head, and his expression flickered a little.

"Can the little brother understand this book?"

Hearing this question, Zong Xian was very calm.

"I don't understand, but this book is a bit weird, I'm going to take it back and think about it."

"Recently, I've been searching for ancient books that I can't read, so I might be able to find something famous."

He had a nonchalant smile on his face, like a gambler looking for treasure.

It just so happened that the ancestors of the Zhang family also had the same idea, and after saying this, Zhang Zhenshi had no worries in his heart.

Think about it carefully, my ancestors and ancestors have studied for so long, I am afraid that there are really treasures and secrets that have been discovered a long time ago, rather than staying and continuing to gamble, and having to spend time and energy to study, it is better to sell it directly, out of sight and out of mind, and change some entanglements to go to the state capital to join a distant relative.

After figuring it out, Zhang Zhenshi scratched his head and estimated what price to quote.

The other party looked like an ordinary young martial artist, and it was estimated that there was not much silver.

But after all, he had thought about this strange book, so he tentatively quoted a price.

"A hundred taels of silver?"

As soon as these words came out, Zong Xian's eyebrows raised slightly.

understands that this is the stall owner who treats himself as a little piglet and wants to slaughter a knife.

Although he can accept it, but if he pays so briskly, the other party may be suspicious, and he will have to bargain.

"Dare to open a hundred taels of silver?"

"I think you're crazy about money!"

"At most, five taels of silver, or pull it down!"

"It's just a broken book, and it's not a handsome girl in the inner city!"

Zong Xian said rudely, making a gesture to throw the book back on the stall.

Seeing this, the stall advocate Zhenshi's face was red and blue for a while, and he hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop it.

"Eighty taels!"

……

"Sixty taels!"

……

"Thirty taels! The lowest! ”

Zhang Zhenshi is about to cry, and in the past few days, he has realized that books are hard to sell and is hard to eat.

Seeing him like this, Zong Xian still nodded, took out three small silver tickets of ten taels from his arms, put them down and left with the strange book with a slight bow.

Leaving the stall advocate Zhenshi alone in the same stall holding the silver ticket, chattering and sorting out the book.

Zong Xian found Yan Gongzi who was having a good conversation with the charming female steward in the Nandi Flower Merchant Square.

He was like an arrow, and after dealing with a few words casually, he left Linlangfang with Yan Gongzi.
