Chapter 16 The Bookstore
"Fellow Daoist, if you have time, you can come to the temple to discuss the Tao with me. Zhang Miaozhu finally said a polite word.
"Definitely come, must come. Gu Ren naturally replied with polite words.
It was a short conversation, and neither was happy or annoyed.
However, Gu Ren did not get the answer he was curious about, but he got a new and interesting direction.
That is Liu Zhongbang, who seems to be watched by Chenghuang.
............
One of the 30 children in Daqing Town who is not more than 30 years old, he is a man of the year in Daqing Town, and his family is one of the three richest people in Daqing Town.
And on this full moon night, Liu Zhongbang and his friends drank and had fun in the low pavilion in the west of Daqing Town, and after the wine entered the belly of a pound, they went straight to the City God Temple under the coaxing of their friends, and made a bet to carry the image of the City God to come to the Low Pavilion, so that everyone could drink at the same table with the City God.
People always need luck, and those who are idle and hurt are even more dead.
Liu Zhongbang, a completely off-the-job person, is one of the idle people who hurt.
So, Liu Zhongbang ran to the City God Temple upside down.
After seeing the majestic statue of the city god and those legends, Liu Zhongbang was stunned, so he stumbled back to the low pavilion, only saying that the city god appeared and said that the party would come to the low pavilion to drink with everyone.
For Liu Zhongbang's atmospheric words, everyone didn't take it to heart, although the drunkenness still hovered in their hearts, but they also regretted coaxing Liu Zhongbang to carry the statue of the city god.
The City God Temple is definitely a force that must not be provoked in this area, those temples have real skills, if they are remembered, it is not as simple as a broken family.
The last person who wanted to provoke the temple was the county official three months ago, and then the county official was dismissed, and the whole family was exiled to the bitter cold of Saibei, three thousand miles away.
The county officials all ended up like this, let alone ordinary wealthy families.
The reception ended half an hour after Liu Zhongbang returned.
After they left, a pavilion of tattered things was left behind.
A figure appeared outside the pavilion, and this figure was Gu Ren who had left the City God Temple.
Gu Ren looked at this low pavilion and touched his chin without any stubble: "It seems that tomorrow, that city god will definitely come to this pavilion." ”
Although he didn't know why Liu Zhongbang was concerned by Chenghuang, Gu Ren guessed that Liu Zhongbang's sentence "Chenghuang will come to the low pavilion tomorrow night to drink with a certain heart" may have been guided by Chenghuang.
In addition, according to the routine of the novels he had read before, Gu Ren had a premonition that what Liu Zhongbang said would come true.
Therefore, Gu Ren decided to stay in this town for another night.
After returning to the guest room in the inn, Gu Ren sat cross-legged on the bed to rest.
The little talk has already been read, so Gu Ren has nothing to do in his spare time, so he can only rest and sleep.
Gu Ren decided to buy a few novels tomorrow morning, and listen to those reviews again, which is also a fun day, isn't it?
Oh~Oh~~~
A long and thick rooster crow, it's a busy morning.
This inn not only has good rooms, but also a good restaurant, it has two buildings, the front building and the back building, the front building is the restaurant, and the back building is the guest room, the design is very ingenious.
Gu Ren came to the front building, and after telling the owner there that he planned to stay for another night, he went directly to the street, prepared to have some breakfast, and then went to the bookstore to buy a few novels.
However, the streets are not at peace.
Just as Gu Ren was walking on the street and looking for breakfast, there was a team of strong men wearing fast clothes walking on the street, stopping passers-by as they walked, and then holding a roll of white paper to compare with the faces of passers-by.
Gu Ren's Taoist robe is a bit dazzling among ordinary people, but he is a true Taoist priest who knows how to practice the law, so just a little spell, these catchers can't find him, and they ignore him directly.
Gu Ren also saw the blank paper in the hands of those fast catchers, it was a bust of a person, but this ancient ink painting could not draw the seven-point appearance of a real person, so according to this ink painting, at most he could only find a bunch of suspects, and the real murderer might escape.
Underneath the portrait is a line of writing stating the man's crimes.
"This person's name is Lu Pingshan, on January 16, killed Ding Daze, the head of Nancun Village, and his family of eight, and then fled in fear of crime. Daqing Town County Yaxuan. ”
This payment is indeed the county government, and there is an official seal on it, so although this Daqing town is called a town, it actually has a county seat, and because it is in a transportation hub, it is more comparable to the government office, and there are some battalions of county soldiers outside Daqing Town, which are sent by the town of Suhuai County.
Since Gu Ren didn't care about this, he naturally wouldn't pay much attention to it, so he took a look and left to look for the bookstore.
Soon Gu Ren found a bookstore.
This bookstore is not large, but it has a rich collection of books.
However, most of them are the Four Books and Five Classics, as well as the annotations of the Four Books and Five Classics, there are some Buddhist scriptures, and some Taoist scriptures (specious, purely theoretical), and they also sell calligraphy and paintings, and finally there are novels that are blocked by hanging calligraphy and paintings.........
This is a Taoist priest who is addicted to novels visiting a bookstore, although the bookstore owner is surprised that the Taoist priest will come to the bookstore to buy books, but after seeing this Taoist priest looking for novels, his life experience of more than 30 years tells him that this is a fake Taoist priest.
For fake Taoists, bookstore owners are more diligent, after all, any rich person who is a fake Taoist priest is either a big cheater or a family that is really rich.
He saw that Gu Ren didn't have the slightest immortal wind bones, so he automatically classified Gu Ren into the rich head of the family.
"Guest, do you want this sutra? This is the technique of Neidan compiled by Xiaoxiguan Shangde Zhenren, which is full of an overview of Shangde Zhenren's cultivation over the past hundred years. ”
"And ...... There are also three explanations of cultivation written by this ascetic from Qingping Temple, which will definitely make you go to the next level on the path of cultivation. ”
“.........”
"Is there an up-to-date novel, as many as I want. Gu Ren directly interrupted the boss's courtesy and said directly.
“... Ahh......h
He usually reads novels to pass the time, so the novels in the bookstore are actually read by himself, and today he actually met a like-minded person, and he is so happy in his heart.
The novels that I bought at this cost can be sold, not only can I read them once, but I can also sell them again, and I can break even, break even.
After the boss muttered in his heart, he immediately started to tell Gu Ren all the novels.
At last...... There are a total of twenty-seven novels, and this one is not the same.
