I would rather live a little than stay close to home..."

This is how Liu Qingyun, the Little Book Office of Ye County, planned his career, so he was very satisfied with his current situation.

He leaned his legs against the office table full of books and stretched his waist. Just as he saw the sun set, he stretched his legs back, grabbed the two idle books on the office table, and touched the heavy money bag.

Although the bookkeeping job has to be polished in the past year and copied documents all night long, I wish I could divide it into three, but I could usually get free. Moreover, the money and food in the yamen are abundant, and his salary is enough for the three in the city to eat with their family of three.

Liu Qingyun has no parents, no brother and sister, and his wife may still be in the mother-in-law's belly. She can endure hardships again. She lives a very comfortable life and is even more comfortable than a god.

The Little Book Office easily left the county government office and became a rice worm for another day. On that day, except for copying a few official documents in the morning, he did not do anything serious, but instead had a Chinese meal in the government office. He used the rest of the time to review the idle books on the table.

It’s so comfortable to do things for the official family. It’s less work and more money to get close to home. Even the vendors selling tea eggs, sour tea soup and pancakes at the yamen enthusiastically greeted Liu Qingyun: “Come on sour plum soup…”

Liu Qingyun ignored them and went straight into the bookstore opposite. He fell in there for most of the day before he came out. He almost took down several large sets of items he had longed for. Finally, he thought about his wallet before leaving.

It was already a little dark, and Liu Qingyun's stomach was a little hungry, but he still tried to walk into the Su pawnshop and asked the shopkeeper: "Old shopkeeper, are there any good things?"

It was dark and there were still many people. People took advantage of the good times of summer to pawn their winter clothes and wait until the autumn scenery gradually rose before redeeming them.

"Liu Shu Office, are you here?" The shopkeeper gave a gift to Liu Qingyun: "Yesterday someone died as a few big books, it depends on whether you like it..."

Although Liu Qingyun is not a big customer, he is the most popular customer in the Su family pawnshop. The reason is that Liu Qingyun always has a few extra money in his hands. He usually does not prostitute, gambling, or drinks wine, and does not have other bad habits. He spends most of it on buying books.

Although the expenses in the pawnshop will not exceed three or four taels of silver each time, and the expenditure on a book will never exceed two taels of silver, after the final settlement, he can contribute a lot of money to the pawnshop every month. What makes the shopkeeper even more like is that Liu Qingyun is a cheerful person. He never bargained, and bought it if he likes it, and he lacks a lot of verbal skills: "Liu Shuban, look..."

The candle was lit, which made Liu Qingyun's eyes lit up, and most of the counters were filled with a faint fragrance of books.

When I looked at the book collection chapter, I knew that this was the collection of the Zheng family in the east of the county. There were many literati and even juren in the Zheng family. However, the descendants were too good at making money and were proficient in eating, drinking, gamble and other things. They were even addicted to poisonous drugs such as the seven-star Hehuan Mandala, which ruined the family business that our ancestors had run for several lifetimes.

However, the ancestors of the Zheng family did collect some good books, and Liu Qingyun once received a full set of "Huajian Ji" at a very low price, so he first scanned the entire counter.

His income is very good, but if he wants to play with the collection of books, he always has the will but lacks the ability, so he never chooses some books with the right price.

A book that is hard to find is not necessarily worth more than a lithograph of more than a dozen cents. The value of the book lies in the knowledge it carries, not the version.

Liu Qingyun believes that his greatest strength is not to know the answer, but to know how to find the answer.

The two counters were filled with most books that the Zheng family had worked as a child, and some antiques, porcelain, ancient coins, bells, and famous paintings collected by the Zheng family's previous generations... Each one had a bit of ancient flavor, but Liu Qingyun knew that the rich people in the countryside might not have any real antiques, most of which were fake.

He quickly chose a book called "Sutra Rain Collection" and "Xianglian Collection". Although other books were good, they were too good, and the price was not something that a minor official like him could afford.

Do what you can, this is the principle of Liu Qingyun buying books and doing things. This is also expected by the shopkeeper. Liu Qingyun is indeed a good customer. He doesn't have to bargain, let alone drooling, but in the end he didn't even get a penny of business: "Hui Cheng costs 350 cents, are you interested in these antiques? I'll give you a discount..."

Liu Qingyun was very satisfied. The reason why he liked to come to the Su family pawnshop was because although the books here were not as complete as books, they were more affordable than books. Moreover, the pawnshop and the book industry were separated from each other, and the bookstore alone cost 1,200 yuan in the bookstore.

He glanced at the pile of antiques with pleasure, and just glanced at the bell, he accidentally took a look, but couldn't help but stop. The shopkeeper had already shouted: "This bell has a history of more than 300 years. Look, it's made of copper, on it..."

The shopkeeper didn't understand what the words on it were, and the bell was really not good. He was about to pick out a few of them from his vocabulary and praise them well, but Liu Qingyun had already spoken: "The words are good!"

"Not bad!" The shopkeeper didn't understand what the words on it meant.

I originally wanted to ask for a high price, but the Zheng family forced the broken bell to collect it from a pile of antiques that were too fake. The shopkeepers of the truly valuable antiques had already collected them, but they were just a product with a history of one or two hundred years. It was a profitable price to sell this broken bell for a few cents. Considering Liu Qingyun's economic ability: "The word is very good, give me two taels of silver to take it away!"

"Two liang? Good!" Liu Qingyun never had the habit of bargaining in the Su family's pawnshop, nor had he ever recorded the purchase of books worth more than two liang of silver. He took out a few pieces of broken silver from his wallet and made a note: "Shopkeeper, please keep it..."

He was still staring at the copper bell that was slightly smaller than his fist. The copper bell was indeed a bit old. There was a lot of copper rust stuck to the copper bell, and some ancient characters were written on it that the shopkeeper didn't recognize.

But Liu Qingyun knew that it was an immortal text, an ancient immortal text.

After finishing the account, he brought up the copper bell and two collections of erotic poems, pretending to be calm, but the joy at the corner of his mouth could not be concealed. When those who knew him saw this, they might think that he was hooking up with some daughter.

He even forgot to buy two side dishes to celebrate his treasures, and closed the door and started studying the copper bell without even having to eat.

His room was a bit old. Apart from the tables and chairs, there were rows of bookshelves, which were placed in messy books such as "Shangshu", "Er Ya", "Shuowen", and "Linzhou Prefecture Chronicles", all of which were treasures bought by Liu Qingyun.

But compared to this copper bell, these treasures probably don't count anything. Liu Qingyun stroked them word by word, and his heart couldn't help but feel excited: "It's indeed an immortal text... It's indeed an immortal text..."

The font is vigorous and powerful, as the saying goes, the bones and flesh are beautiful, even a fake product can be worth these two taels of silver. The text on it, or the "Immortal Text", is extremely simple, and it is obviously ancient characters, which makes him feel familiar. If he really wants to get into the test, he doesn't recognize it, and only barely recognizes the name of this treasure as "×light × moon ×× ring". With seven words, he can only recognize three of them.

The difficulty in reading ancient books was originally within his expectations.

In ancient times, a tomb robber had a jade piece with an engraved 80 characters on it. No one could recognize it at that time, so he collected the book house. During the Immortal Qin Dynasty, Li Si knew the eight characters and said: God made his destiny, and King Pidi, and in the Han Dynasty, Shusun Tong knew more about the two characters.

He actually knew this ancient immortal text, which was beyond his limit.

Of course, Liu Qingyun knew clearly that the older the magic techniques recorded in ancient immortal texts were, the more earth-shaking its power was. Especially the immortal techniques before Dayu controlled the flood, it is said that they could become true immortals, ascend in the sun, and live forever.

It’s just that Liu Qingyun has his own trump card.

The biggest limitation of human knowledge is not that you don’t know the answer, but that you don’t know how to find the answer.

Liu Qingyun showed a confident smile on his face. This confidence came from the heart. He quickly found the book he wanted on the bookshelf - "Linzhou Chronicles".

Liu Qingyun's fingers passed by the paper and ink, and many past events flowed in his mind.

This book once changed his destiny. This is the appendix volume of Linzhou Chronicles. In fact, it is directly copied from the older lonely version of Linzhou Chronicles. A Linzhou parent official who has been in the hundreds of years has nothing to do with him. He likes gold inscriptions and bird seal scripts like Liu Qingyun. He even recorded all his gains over the past decades into the Linzhou Chronicles he wrote and included them in the attached volume.

It has to be said that when the former prefect wrote the book, it was a great virtue to publish the attached volumes of the old version. Liu Qingyun just flipped through the newly printed book "Linzhou Chronicle" the day before he was seeking his post, and a dramatic drama appeared the next day.

The entire Linzhou Prefecture, including the prefect who compiled the Linzhou Chronicle, could not handle the inscription of the bronze tripod that he accidentally found in the warehouse, Liu Qingyun emerged.

When he did not think about it, he directly chanted the inscriptions he read yesterday, and the crowd was shocked. Even though he was in a mess in other aspects, he still had more than a dozen good positions to choose. Liu Qingyun finally chose to go back to his hometown to work as a small bookstore.

"It doesn't matter if you have less money and more things, as long as you are close to home." This is Liu Qingyun's career choice standard, not to mention that this bookkeeping is originally a good and bad one.

Since then, Liu Qingyun has never forgotten the attached volume of this Linzhou Chronicle, and has memorized the interpretations of the ancient texts above, and has also forced a lot of the original texts.

In the attached book, a very dazzling magic trick is recorded, called "lightning surrounds the Beidou, and the star shines on the wilderness", with more than 1,700 words. It is said that the old prefect got it from an immortal palace and it took more than 20 years to decide.

However, although Liu Qingyun knew his skills, he did not have the spiritual power to activate magic. He was like a fish without water or a boat without wood. He had to recite all more than 1,700 words in a flash, hoping that one day he would be able to emerge again.

It was just an inadvertent act in the past that Liu Qingyun found the treasure today. Liu Qingyun had already confirmed that the immortal text here and the immortal text that were to be determined by Li were basically the same.

When he found the place "lightning surrounds the Beidou, and the star shines in the wild", he looked at it one by one in comparison with the immortal text, Liu Qingyun frowned first, and then smiled with a knowing smile.
