Chapter 68, The Book Shop

Yi Canghong and Feng Jiang Yingxue came to a small shop, and as soon as they sat down, three middle-aged men immediately sat down at another table, looking nothing from the outside, but that look at Yi Canghong and the others from time to time.

"We're being targeted. Yi Canghong's face was calm, and it didn't look like he was being followed at all.

"What?" Feng Jiang Yingxue was immediately deserted, and just wanted to look around.

Yi Canghong immediately stopped: "Don't look, it's at the table next to us, don't startle the snake." ”

"Then what should we do?" Feng Jiang Yingxue obviously still lacked experience, and her tone was a little panicked. He even forgot that he could use his psychic sense to investigate.

"What can I do? They love to follow, so let them follow. Yi Canghong said calmly.

"Then we'd better hurry up and stop shopping. Feng Jiang Yingxue said. Apparently scared.

"Doing something, is there something big about your grandfather letting you come along?" Yi Canghong said in surprise.

"Actually, it's not a big deal! Grandpa asked me to come with you to buy some very valuable goods by the way. And let me listen to you in everything. Feng Jiang Yingxue replied honestly.

"Looks like we're going to be here for the night tonight. Yi Canghong said.

"Yes, anyway, grandpa didn't say that he wanted us to go back that day. "Seal the river and reflect the snow road.

Soon, the food ordered by Yi Canghong came up, and the two of them hurriedly finished eating and immediately paid and left.

When it comes to the shop that sells ancient books, Feng Jiangrong only gave an address, along the way. Yi Canghong walked while inquiring. Rounding a bend. Out of the bustling street, turned into a dark alley, this way, Yi Canghong found that there are dense shops of all sizes, operating all kinds of things, the deeper you go down the alley, the smaller the shops inside, the darker they are. It's even starting to get a little damp, but despite that, some of the shops here are still frequented by a lot of people. It's just that most of the people who patronize it feel weird, there are rude shirtless and black-haired big men, there are scantily dressed, fair-skinned and plump women, and coquettish women, and so on. Of course, most of the people are normal, but it still gives people a weird feeling. Even Feng Jiang Yingxue couldn't help but stand up at this time. I was scared of this place when I looked like that.

But Yi Canghong was quite calm. Although Yi Canghong exuded his spiritual sense, he found that many of the people here were fifth- or sixth-order masters. is even stronger, but Yi Canghong still doesn't have any unaccustomed looks, as if he is an old fritter who frequents this place. In fact, Yi Canghong was also beating a drum in his heart, but Yi Canghong knew that the more scared he became, maybe the trouble would come faster, and he might even lose his life here.

Many people on this road also set their eyes on Yi Canghong and the two of them, seeing Feng Jiang Yingxue's cowardly appearance, it made people feel as if they were going to think about something, but when they saw Yi Canghong's calm and slightly angry expression, they all retracted. This evil aura was brought over by Yi Canghong in his previous life. And this kind of evil qi is usually only found in people who have come out of the killing. Although Yi Canghong is not very old, but the strength of the middle stage of the fourth order of martial arts is there, coupled with the evil aura emanating from his body, this has to remind people of how much power this young man in front of him will have behind him!

As for the three men who followed Yi Canghong and the others, they were all upside down when they arrived at this place, and they were nervous, afraid that someone would be unfavorable to them. And they didn't take a few steps in, they hurriedly walked out, and they didn't dare to go inside again, for fear that there were some jackals, tigers and leopards waiting for them inside. And Yi Canghong took Fengjiang Yingxue straight to the end of the alley, at this end, there is an old shop, if you don't pay attention to it, you don't know, as long as you pay attention to it, you will find that the two good statues are going to be weathered off the door has left no less than a hundred scars, and they are all cut down by weapons, I think there are a lot of weathered and can't be seen, on the top of the gate, it is also a plaque full of scars, and only the four big characters of "ancient book shop" are engraved on it.

Originally, when the sun was scorching, it still looked a little dark and damp. Another point is that there are more or less one or two customers in any of the shops here, but there are only three people in this shop, two men sipping tea and playing chess at a small table, and one is skinny, probably in his seventies, with a white beard, a wrinkled face, and dressed like a commoner. A man in his forties and fifties, with a round face and a goatee, looks very spiritually dressed and brightly dressed, and at a glance he knows that he is from a rich family. There was also a woman, probably twenty-seven or eighteen years old, fair-skinned, and she could be regarded as a beautiful woman! Dressed in white, she was pouring tea for the two men.

Yi Canghong and Feng Jiang Yingxue walked in, but they didn't even bother to take a look, presumably they thought that Yi Canghong and the others just walked in out of a moment of curiosity. However, Yi Canghong could sense that a spiritual consciousness that was not much different from his own had instantly swept over him and Feng Jiang Yingxue.

"Strong!" this is the evaluation given by Yi Canghong.

As soon as Feng Jiang Yingxue came in, she saw that they didn't even say hello, and she was about to say something, but she suddenly remembered that she couldn't mess around in this place, so she quieted down.

Yi Canghong didn't pay attention to your attitude, and looked at the store at random, only to see that this store is not big, only twenty or thirty square meters, the counter inside, with a small door, on both sides are bookshelves, no, it should be said that it is a bookshelf-style bracket, because every thing about the record on it is erected by a bracket, and most of them only open a little bit of text content, which is obviously afraid that someone will have the ability to come to watch, those who are all unfolded, there is only a picture scroll. At the same time, Yi Canghong also sensed that every "book" here had been banned.

Yi Canghong looked at it from the beginning, and saw that most of these books were made of animal skins, of course, Yi Canghong didn't know any of those words. But when Yi Canghong saw a painting three feet long. When the scroll is one foot wide and one foot wide. The heart pounded. After that, the eyes never left the painting.

"What a beautiful picture!" Feng Jiang Yingxue couldn't help but take a look at it when she saw Yi Canghong suddenly staring at this painting, and said.

"This is not a beautiful picture, it is a statue of Guanyin!" Yi Canghong came back to his senses and said.

And this one is indeed a statue of Guanyin, which is almost exactly the same as what Yi Canghong saw in his previous life. Dressed in white, with a kind appearance, holding a jade bottle with willow branches in one hand and an orchid finger in the other. Stepping on the lotus platform, lifelike. In the corner of the side, there is also a nomination from Wu Daozi.

Yi Canghong's words made the old man who was playing chess and drinking tea stunned at first, and then turned his head and looked at Yi Canghong with a sharp eye. Even the middle-aged man who accompanied him to play chess and drink tea was stunned, obviously not understanding why the old man, who had always remained lazy, behaved like this when he heard a young man's words.

"What is the Guanyin statue?" asked Feng Jiang Yingxue strangely.

Yi Canghong had sensed the old man's sharp gaze a long time ago, but he still pretended not to know and replied: "You don't understand these things. After finishing speaking, Yi Canghong's eyes swept to the other books again, but unfortunately Yi Canghong glanced at it. But he only saw that there were only two scrolls, and Yi Canghong looked at a little content. I saw that all the deeds recorded in it were about cultivating immortals.

There are also three or four volumes of bamboo slips, but the words on them are too old, and it is good for Yi Canghong to know half of them, so Yi Canghong did not mention any interest. In the end, Yi Canghong still turned his gaze to the statue of Guanyin. There is also a problem that Yi Canghong also discovered, that is, the price of these things is really unacceptable, not to mention anything else, just that Guanyin statue, it costs 200,000 gold coins, of course, if it is in the previous life, this painting is definitely worth this price, provided that it must be the authentic work of Wu Daozi, but in this continent, it is indeed a bit outrageous to mark such a price when everyone does not know Wu Daozi. Most of the other books range from tens of thousands of gold coins to hundreds of thousands of gold coins, and Yi Canghong even feels that his store has not been open for three years, and he has been open for three years. However, Yi Canghong believes that the real purpose of the shopkeeper to open this store is not to do business at all, but to have other purposes.

"This guest, do you think there is another mystery in this painting?" The old man saw that Yi Canghong had selected a single type of book to read, and after thinking for a while, he walked over and pointed to the Guanyin statue and said.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm just going to say it casually. "Yi Canghong doesn't want to be troubled. Road.

"Oh, when the guest goes to the shop, are you looking for any books?" the old man saw that Yi Canghong refused to say, so he didn't ask much.

"Actually, I don't have any specific books to look for, but I'm just interested in these ancient texts, and I heard that there are such books for sale here, so I want to come and see them. Yi Canghong said.

"I see, what kind of books in ancient languages are the guests looking for?" the old man obviously didn't believe it, but he didn't pay much attention to it.

"Scrolls, and bamboo slips. There may also be some books, presumably in the kind of text that is recorded. Yi Canghong said.

"Could it be that the guests know such words?" said the old man with a hint of ecstasy.

"A little bit of it. Yi Canghong said confidently.

"Then please come with me. The old man didn't care whether Yi Canghong agreed or not, and said that he walked directly to the small door on the other side of the counter.

Yi Canghong was not small, so he followed. Feng Jiang Yingxue was probably also a little scared, and she followed closely.

The old man took Yi Canghong and Feng Jiang Yingxue directly to the corridor at the back door, came to the door of a room, and after opening the door with jade slips, he said directly: "This place is the place to collect scrolls, bamboo slips, and some books. ”

The old man walked in first, and as soon as he entered the room, what appeared in front of Yi Canghong was still a bookshelf, judging from the prohibitions that had been placed, the things here were much more precious than those outside.

"The books here are the books that the old man classifies by words, and all the books in this store are here, and the customers can see if there are any customers who want them?" said the old man.

Yi Canghong didn't answer, but walked directly to the scroll-like books, only to see that there were at least thirty scrolls here, the wide ones were more than a foot wide, and the narrow ones were seven or eight inches, some were made of fine silk, and some were made of paper, and they were divided into two sides and put them together, all of them were the same, only a little bit of content was expanded, and the rest of the content was directly sealed under the ban. If you want to see it, you'll have to pay for it.

Yi Canghong looked at the scroll on the left, who knew that Yi Canghong couldn't help but laugh when he looked at it, as if he saw some joke. At the same time, it was also inexplicable for the old man to be with Feng Jiang Yingxue. But no one said anything.

And the reason why Yi Canghong laughed was because Yi Canghong felt that it was really difficult for the old man to divide these scrolls, and in front of Yi Canghong were two kinds of calligraphy, one was wild cursive calligraphy, which was okay for people who knew calligraphy, the dragon flew and the phoenix danced. But for people who don't know calligraphy, this is a ghost painting symbol, it is graffiti, but fortunately, Yi Canghong also knows this kind of calligraphy. The other is the seal script, this kind of character Yi Canghong does not know much, because it is too ancient, it is not so much seal calligraphy, it is more appropriate to directly say that it is the oracle bone inscription.
