Longevity is Different, Caishikou Was Beheaded at the Beginning Chapter 42

Tao Qian returned to Xunxian County without any surprises. Fortunately, he was a young man who lived alone. He didn't return all night and no one asked him where he went.

It was very natural to enter the city with a group of villagers who went to the market, and bought some oil cakes and soy milk for breakfast. Tao Qian also inquired about it. Most of the Taoists in this world have no "food taboos". , drink the rootless dew.

On the contrary, monks have more taboos, or there are some bizarre taboos.

In short, Taoism should not affect Tao Qian's appetite.

"There is still not much food in Xunxian County. Tao Ranju eats it, and it's not unusual to eat mutton pot. You have to go to the provincial capital or the imperial capital."

"The Spirit Treasure Magic Dharma first focuses on the nature of the heart. You can do whatever you want before you can be diligent. It is too much in line with my requirements."

"Rebirth once, don't wrong yourself."

"Of course, don't indulge yourself too much, or you will inevitably suffer some big losses under the complacency."

Thoughts flickered here, Tao Qian was reminded of last night's experience.

Silently, he wrote down the "Beautiful Corpse Bodhisattva" in the little black book at the bottom of his heart.

Fortunately, this did not affect Tao Qian's happy mood. He quickly passed through the market and entered his bookstore compartment from the side door of Nacaishi Street.

After eating slowly, washing and changing clothes, he moved the door without thinking too much. Facing the hustle and bustle of the morning gathering, the Chengyou Bookstore opened.

After revising "The Nine Truths of Lingbao", Tao Qian also thought about whether his own business would still be done.

The conclusion is to do it first, and he has nowhere to go for the time being.

If he wants to go to the entrance wall of [Lingbaozong], his cultivation is still a little bit worse. He needs to step into the Qi Refining Realm first and condense the Nine True Map of Lingbao in his body before he can know the address of the mountain gate.

Before that, Tao Qian decided to hang around for a while.

Opened early in the morning, naturally there is no business.

In fact, there won't be too many customers coming at noon and afternoon, and the sales of pictorial girls and serious banned books did make money twice.

But this kind of income is just like the man's words, and it can't last.

Even if there are many old-fashioned critics, they will not come to buy these books every day. After all, there are so many things to comfort themselves, and they have to lose weight day by day. It is time to rest or rest.

As for another idea from the boss Jia Qiang: selling Western Yishu.

But it was a small mistake. Tao Qianjin bought these goods, but the two big bookstores on the main street also entered. Chengyou Bookstore is a small shop, shabby and simple, and naturally uncompetitive.

Fortunately, after Tao Qian got a thousand bills from Zhang Xian, the four beasts of She County, he has no desire for ordinary silver money for the time being, so let it go.

Despite being bored, Tao Qian didn't sit still.

In his mind, he silently recited the magic method of the spiritual treasure.

By the way, sigh about the difficulty of practice.

"Lingbao Jiuzhen Diagram is the way to get started. It should be very simple in common sense, but in fact it is not the same thing at all."

"Then a thick book needs to be recited in its entirety in a state of concentration and meditation, and even has requirements such as tone and rhythm."

"Wrong word, try again."

"It would be better if those formulas were ordinary 'characters', it was nothing more than a test of memory."

"Unfortunately, it's not. Every word is unique. It can't be chanted if you want to chanting it."

"Ordinary people, it takes at least a few months, or even longer, to chant a complete chanting... No wonder they dare to say the chanting once, and then they can get the spiritual treasure source qi into the body and directly step into the [Qi-Inducing Realm]."

"I've saved this step, and maybe after chanting it a few times, I can go from the stage of 'blood fusion' to the stage of 'fixed embryo', and then try to hit the Qi refining realm."

Tao Qian was thinking about practicing in his shop when suddenly the light in front of him changed.

However, I saw two young men in long robes entering the store. One was wearing thick glasses and had a generous face. He was about twenty-seven, and he always maintained a cheerful appearance. The other was older and had rough skin. , The eyes are sharp, and there is a black beard on his lips, which is very majestic.

When the two entered the store, they both bowed their hands to Tao Qian, and the glasses brother said with a hearty smile: "Good morning, boss, I heard that you have imported some books of Westerners and Yi people here, so let's take a look."

Tao Qian glanced at the two of them, returned a salute, pointed to a certain area of ​​the bookstore, and said, "Please do it yourself."

The two were guided, and they passed in three or two steps.

They each picked up the books they were interested in. The glasses brother read the titles and counted them excitedly.

"The calendars of Western countries, the records of the reform process of the ruling group, the railway construction method, the theory of evolution of all things, the history of Western alchemy, the hundreds of secret methods of navigation... They are all excellent books, and they are not as complete as Shihan Hall and Daguan Hall. If you choose some dross books, the boss's eyesight and knowledge are extraordinary."

"It's a pity that there is no such thing as the essentials of manufacturing the Flang machine mechanical cannon and the method of making explosive gunpowder..."

"Cough cough!"

The glasses brother was muttering excitedly, and the black-bearded youth next to him interrupted by coughing.

The former immediately closed his voice consciously, and looked carefully behind the counter. When he saw that the bookstore owner was still looking down at a certain book, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

He didn't see it, Tao Qian, who lowered his head, rolled his little white eyes.

"I want to buy those books on the essentials of mechanical cannon manufacturing, the secret method of explosive gunpowder, the secret technique of monster mechanical production, and so on, and I want people to be willing to sell them. The translation bureau organized by the Governor of Nanyue has indeed translated these books. But it's all for internal use, so there's no room for the owner of a small bookstore to buy it.”

When Tao Qian complained, he also vaguely guessed the identity of the two.

If there is no accident, both of them are people of lofty ideals who want to resist the imperial court and overthrow the tyranny.

For someone with a bad mind, if you have such a guess, you may go to the yamen to report the reward.

But Tao Qian, of course not.

He pretended not to hear anything and just waited for the two to buy the book and leave.

But this time, it was the third person who came to Tao Qian's surprise.

The light in front of the shop changed again, and suddenly walked in a middle-aged man with a tall and straight body, wearing an ink green Taoist robe.

This man's appearance is not good-looking, and his hair is half black and half white, which looks a bit weird, but he has a pair of deep eyes, extremely thick eyebrows inserted into the temples, coupled with the high bridge of the nose.

As soon as he entered, he first nodded to the bookstore owner who was looking at him, and then said to the two people who were picking books: "Xian Yong, Mingtai, so you two are here, let me do this. Good to find."

The two who were greeted raised their heads, and immediately pulled the middle-aged Taoist over in surprise.

"Zhichang, come and look at this volume "The Evolution of Everything" and this volume "Western Alchemy History"... If the descriptions on it are not false, the Western barbarians really have some tricks."

"Well, there is also this railway construction method. If you follow this operation, the people of our country will be able to travel thousands of miles in the future, like a man in a fairy."

The middle-aged Taoist was still a little puzzled after hearing the introduction of the two, until he took over the two books and quickly read them.

After that, his complexion changed slightly, and there was a glimmer of light in his eyes:

"The methods of the Western barbarians are indeed very different from ours. They can actually use machinery and other objects as a medium to spread the mighty power among hundreds of millions of mortals."

"It's worth learning from, it's so worth learning from."

"This is what Ji Xianxian and several other young Zhuang factions are doing, trying to completely replicate the secret techniques of the Western barbarians, so that ordinary humans have the power to fight against strange and extraordinary things?"

"And, they have already done some preliminary."

When this man spoke, the air in the bookstore seemed to have become sharper.

And this isn't actually an illusion.

Tao Qian was still like an ordinary bookstore owner and old-fashioned critic, looking down at the pictorial girl's booklet from the provincial capital, as if he was completely uninterested in the topic between the three.

But at this moment, a wave surged in Tao Qian's heart, and a strong sense of throbbing was constantly reminding Tao Qian.

The middle-aged Taoist not far away is actually a genuine human cultivator, and his cultivation is far higher than Tao Qian, who is currently in the [Qi-inducing state].

"This sharp breath, is it a cultivator of Taoism? Or a strong man who has cultivated martial arts?"

Tao Qian pretended not to care on the surface, but in his heart he was already trying hard to guess.

But soon he didn't need to worry about it, and the answer came immediately.

The slightly excited middle-aged Taoist pointed directly at the pile of translated books of the Western and Western countries, and then said to Tao Qian, the bookstore owner:

"Mr. trouble to calculate the price, I want all these books."

"okay!"

Tao Qian's performance after the show has always been natural.

He got up and packed the booklet neatly, handed it over, and said, "I wiped off the fraction for the three of them, and together they total fifteen silver dollars."

Tao Qian didn't care about money or anything.

He served so enthusiastically, just to touch the middle-aged Taoist when he handed over the money.

The next moment, Tao Qian got what he wanted.

After all, no one would have imagined that there is an odd number like Tao Qian in this world, who can perceive a lot of hidden information just by touching it, and no one will be prepared.

The two of them handed over a book of silver coins, and the moment Tao Qian took over the fifteen silver coins, a perception came into his mind immediately.

A chaotic mess of information is emerging, just bit by bit into that weird format.

But without waiting for Tao Qian to read it, it was at this time that an accident happened.

"Dangdang"

On the street outside the shop, suddenly there was Cha Kuai carrying a gong and hurriedly walking, banging the gong as he walked.

At the same time, the mouth shouted a paragraph:

"In order to protect Xunxian County from the invasion of the demon army~www.mtlnovel.com~ the county chief specially wrote to the court and asked for the garrison."

"Today, the governor of the provincial capital agreed to this request, and sent thousands of new-style strong troops to come here, and will be stationed in Xunxian County, so that nearly tens of thousands of people in the county can live and work in peace and contentment."

"In addition, the Governor also arranged for a super battleship named [Zhen Yao] to escort, and even the legendary Forbidden Immortal Hall experts came together."

"It's about to dock at the Xunxian Pier. It's very spectacular. You may only see it this time in your life. Everyone, go and see it."

This passage is simple and straightforward, but contains a lot of information.

The people from the Forbidden Immortal Hall are here.

The new powerful army stationed in Xunxian County is here.

And the most eye-catching, of course, the word "super battleship".

The common people love to watch such spectacles and giants the most.

As Nahu Kuai said, you may only have this opportunity to see it in a lifetime, and after seeing it, you can come back and brag for a lifetime.

Therefore, with these people quickly beating gongs and drums, they go through the streets and alleys for publicity.

Not long after, the entire Xunxian County was boiling.

A crowd of people flocked to the Xunxian Pier from the four sides of the street. Obviously, everyone wanted to see what the legendary super giant iron lump that could carry thousands of people to ride the wind and waves and sail the ocean.

In the Chengyou Bookstore, the four looked at each other.

In the end, the glasses brother suggested excitedly, "Let's... go and have a look?"

The object of his conversation was obviously the other two companions.

Unexpectedly, the two hadn't answered yet, Tao Qian replied first.

This guy naturally put the fifteen silver dollars into his arms, nodded with a smile, and returned to others: "Go and see, we have to observe and observe such a grand scene."
