"Brother Mou, I haven't seen you for a while. Come and take a look. I have recently purchased a batch of ancient fragments of ancient books, genuine ones. Which ones do you like? I will sell them to you at a low price."
The old book stall owner said hello from a distance.
In fact, I haven't been here for a few days. I am as enthusiastic as I have been for three years. Unfortunately, I am a greasy middle-aged man with unshaven beard and vicissitudes of life.
Shortly after the Lantern Festival, the wallets of the casual monks were quite empty, and their business fell into a period of lull.
Chen Mou approached and said with a smile: "Brother Xiao, you don't have many honest words in your mouth, and you want to defraud me of my hard-earned money."
He glanced at the bookstall and unexpectedly noticed a faint flicker of light in one of them.
If you can pick up leaks when you go out, everyone will be in a good mood.
This business won't work if I don't take care of it.
"Haha, no, no money. You smashed my brother's bookstall when you bought a fake."
The middle-aged stall owner spoke boldly as a way to attract customers, and asked: "What kind of book do you want to read? I will help you find it."
Chen Mou smiled and started to flip through the book himself, "Just take a look. Brother Xiao, go greet the other guests and ignore me, a regular customer."
He was not in a hurry to take out the old book that contained the treasure, and no one was around to snatch it from him.
He took out two broken and yellowed ancient books in one hand. Of course, they might be old fakes. Even if he found out that they were fake, he couldn't just listen to the stall owner and destroy the stall where others were eating.
Some people like to look for solutions to their own practice doubts from ancient books. Some people are deceived, and some benefit from them.
A job that tests your eyesight, and you are willing to do whatever you want to endure.
If you have to be more serious at street stalls, you will probably get a real beating from society.
"Okay, brother Mou, take your time and watch."
The middle-aged stall owner wisely did not approach and disturb him. It was still early in the evening and there were not many customers reading.
Chen Mou roughly flipped through the ancient books in his hand, put one back, kept another by his side, and reached out to pick up two more ancient books. Among them were tattered old books with unknown treasures hidden in them. They had the same blue cover, and only "Lingxi" was left.
"Fire" are three broken ancient seal characters. I flipped through them a few times. The ancient book records the secrets of using fire techniques. Unfortunately, it was so damaged by insects and rats that it became incoherent.
I rummaged through the bookstall for more than a quarter of an hour and found a stack of five old and new books.
After delivering one spiritual stone and two martial virtue coins, three ancient books were sold for one spiritual stone, which was a bit expensive, but Chen Mou didn't care about it. The value of ancient books was anyone's guess.
If he can pick up big leaks from ancient books, he has already made a lot of money.
Putting the book tied with a thin rope into his arms, Chen Mou and the stall owner said goodbye.
He went around to other stalls, especially the stall at the back that sold miscellaneous magic weapons, fragments of magic tools, and materials on the floor. He "saw" seventeen or eight shimmering items with different shades of luster.
There were many monks onlookers, and the stall owner was a tough man, shouting and displaying the treasures and materials in his hands.
Chen Mou watched the excitement for a while, but did not make any purchase.
Treasures that other people can see using the aura technique are not called treasures.
What he wants to pick up is invisible to others, and he can get it at a very low price, which gives him a different sense of accomplishment.
Chen Mou, who was walking back to the street, looked back. In the afterglow of the setting sun, two monks, a man and a woman, approached him and greeted him.
"Chen Mou, what are you thinking about? I called you several times before I heard you."
"I've met Senior Sister Ning and Master Cui."
Chen Mou held a stack of books in his arms, smiled and performed Taoist rituals with his hands clasped meticulously, and said enthusiastically: "Sister Ning, when did you arrive at Fangshi? You haven't had dinner yet, I'll invite you two to Xiankeju."
Ning Weizhi carried an exquisite green bamboo basket with her left hand, with items wrapped in green cloth. She gave a Taoist bow in return with her right hand and said with a smile: "I just arrived today, so I won't go to Xiankeju. It's very noisy there, so...
Let's sit in the teahouse in front, we haven't seen each other for some time."
The arrogant Master Cui wore a large white robe, but still looked at others with his nostrils. He bowed his hand in return and asked:
"Your eyes have recovered?"
"Thank you, Master Cui, for remembering me. I just recovered and went out for a walk on the street."
Chen Mou extended his hand to invite him. With Senior Sister Ning present, he could not say that he recovered so quickly because he followed the remedies taught by Master Cui.
Ning Weizhi looked at her in surprise and didn't say much on the street.
She saw that Junior Brother Chen's cultivation had improved rapidly. How long had it been since the Mid-Autumn Festival last year?
He is about to reach the level of Qi refining and reach perfection.
It is a good thing to be diligent and diligent, but it is a bad thing to do it too much, especially if you swallow too many pills, it is easy to cause problems, and you don't have the care and guidance of the elders of the sect.
Walking into the teahouse, Chen Mou asked for a pot of spiritual tea with three spiritual stones. There was a side room for conversation.
"Chen Mou, I would like to introduce you to a fellow disciple, Cui Xiao. He calls himself Cui Yijian. He is a swordsman of the Xuandu Guanwen Jianfeng lineage. You can call him Senior Brother Cui. If you don't understand anything in the future, just ask him for advice. You don't have to be polite to him."
Ning Weizhi took the main seat. Among the three of them, she was the senior sister who took the responsibility and introduced the younger junior brother with a smile.
Cui Xiao said dissatisfied: "Senior Sister Ning, please tell me some truth. What is it about 'calling myself Cui Yijian'? It's obviously me who has conquered half of Changzhou... Well, there are more than twenty sects in the south of the same rank. It's rare to have an opponent. It's a nickname given by my colleagues."
, is a great inspiration to me.”
Chen Mou smiled and watched the two people talking, and was quite surprised. Is Senior Brother Cui so powerful?
There are eight continents in the Luofu world where they are located, namely Changzhou, Xuanzhou, Yanzhou, Yuanzhou, and Liuzhou of the human race, and Shengzhou, Fenglinzhou, and Jukuzhou of the demon race. Each continent is separated by
Facing the sea, the territory is vast and boundless.
Danyangfang is just one of the six Jiafang cities in southern Cheung Chau.
Being able to defeat many sects of the same level in southern Changzhou is already an incredible master.
Ning Weizhi smiled and retorted: "Cui Xiao, you have to maintain your sword heart. It's understandable to be arrogant, but you can't underestimate the world's heroes. The heroes in the world are easy to break. If you are arrogant in your bones and calm on the surface, you won't suffer."
She and Cui Xiao entered Xuandu Temple in the same period of assessment. Because of their outstanding qualifications and good character, they were accepted as core disciples by Na Yunfeng and Wenjian Feng respectively. They are similar in age and have always been on good terms with each other in the sect.
They always quarrel when they meet.
Cui Xiao raised his chin: "How many people in this world are worthy of me maintaining peace on my face?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! His arrogance does not bother to hide.
Even when facing a golden elixir master, he still has this kind of virtue.
Ning Weizhi turned around and said, "Chen Mou, what's wrong with your eyes?"
Ning Weizhi was very concerned about this unofficial core disciple who had not yet worshiped the sect. During the Chinese New Year, she met Cui Xiao who had returned to the sect. She learned that Cui Xiao was on a mission in Danyangfang Lundao Hall and asked if he knew Chen Mou.
, so she asked Cui Xiao to take care of her.
"Senior Brother Cui has checked for me. It was because I practiced too hastily and the energy of the fire element blocked the meridians, causing discomfort in my eyes and making it difficult to see the light. These days, I have used the method taught to me by Senior Brother Cui to refine the energy that blocked the meridians. It is no longer a problem. Thank you, Senior Sister, for caring about me.
.”
Chen Mou picked up a few important explanations.
This Senior Brother Cui in front of him, who is very skilled in swordsmanship and has an arrogant temperament, is really one of his own.
Next time he will ask for advice on practice doubts, which will be more convenient and logical.
Pour green tea for the two of them and extend your hands to invite them.
Cui Xiao drank a cup of Chinese tea in one gulp and looked at his junior brother who had not yet officially entered the market. He didn't bother to talk in circles, and the time was ripe, so he interrupted and asked: "Chen Mou, what method did you use to make Senior Brother Gu, who has a unique vision, have to do it?"
Accept you as a core disciple?"
It's rare for him to have any curiosity other than swordsmanship.
During the Chinese New Year, I once asked Ning Weizhi, but the cunning senior sister pushed me to Senior Brother Gu.
He didn't have a close relationship with Senior Brother Gu, so how could he come to ask about a trivial matter?
Ning Weizhi smiled and said nothing. She slowly sipped the spiritual tea.
She wanted to see how Junior Brother Chen dealt with Cui Xiao's hidden and sharp questions. Perhaps, it would be another exciting debate?
Even if there is no trouble, she can still add fuel to the fire.
She also worked hard to find a ready supporter for her junior brother in Fangshi.
