When the treacherous-looking bookboy told the Wenqu Fu Box routine, Tao Qian could already imagine the reactions of the people around him.

With the temptation of the solitary secret book and the bookstore owner's promise to guarantee the price, all but bookstore owners related to business or some stoic Confucian masters would not be able to buy it.

Most of the others can't stand it.

Sure enough, Tao Qian looked around and immediately spotted a pair of shining eyes.

“Gambling harms people!”

Of course, no one heard Tao Qian's inner admonition.

In the main cabin where the guests were waiting, only the words "Take us there" rang out, and immediately a large group of people, led by a few book boys, rushed towards a certain cabin.

After Tao Qian finished complaining, he smiled and followed suit.

Although I don’t have much money in my pocket, it’s always good to have some experience.

Not long after, a group of people appeared in a relatively spacious and bright cabin. A simple partition appeared in front of it, and three oversized bookshelves were placed firmly.

There are a large number of lacquer boxes that are minimalist in appearance but exuding an exquisite atmosphere on every bookshelf. They are very dazzling under the light.

This group of scholars, Juren, children of rich families, calligraphers and painters had just stopped when a shopkeeper in long robes greeted him in the partition. He had an elegant temperament. He first bowed his hands to everyone, and then took the initiative to introduce loudly:

"Dear guests, welcome to experience our latest book purchase project of Zhuangyuanhao."

"Since this is the first time, the owner has specifically stated that he will never earn a penny from you. The total price of each blessing box and the books in the box exceeds the price of the blessing box itself."

"The three bookshelves of Heaven, Earth, and People, the corresponding prices are five silver dollars, two silver dollars and one silver dollar."

"This time it's sold out, and it won't be another half a month until there is another event."

"You are all people who know and love books. You might as well reveal a little secret first. If there are guests who are familiar with my boss, they must not say that it was me."

"As far as I know, my boss hid three unique secret books worth hundreds or even more than a thousand silver dollars, Suiyuan Sui Shu, Jialan Can Jing, and Gui Xiong Qu, respectively, in the three blessings of heaven, earth, and people.

In the box.”

"In addition, there are also precious books such as "The Collection of Zen", "Ode to the Jade Platform", "The Handwritten Edition of Ming Chenggong of the Tao Te Ching", "The First Engraved Edition of Wei Gong's Interpretation of Pictures"... and so on."

"What kind of secret book can be opened and how much it is worth depends on your luck."

"hiss"

Tao Qian, being a transparent person among the crowd, couldn't help but feel a little sour at this moment.

Now he was sure that the owner of this book ship was definitely an old profiteer.

First, a novel blind box gameplay is presented, and now prizes are thrown out as bait. In addition, the target group here is extremely precise, and there is no need to filter.

fishing?

No, this guy is just fishing directly.

As soon as Tao Qian had this thought, someone in the crowd immediately shouted loudly: "I, let me do it. This student has always had good luck. I even picked up a dime of silver when I went out this morning."

While he was talking, a scholar wearing a white robe, holding a fan in his hand and dressed like a slut came up.

Knocking on the counter and banging it a few times, he settled on eight silver dollars. Then, with a conceited expression on his face, as if he was a scholar who doesn't care about money, he is very rich, and said nervously: "Give me one of the three blessing boxes."

.”

The shopkeeper smiled and put his sleeves away, turned around and motioned to the two book boys to bring in the blessing boxes, while he personally went and brought a Tianzi blessing box.

Three blessing boxes, lined up.

The shopkeeper raised his hand and made a gesture of respectfully asking you to open it.

The scholar subconsciously wanted to rub his hands like a gambler before opening the cards. Realizing that it was indecent, he suppressed an expression of indifference and opened the herringbone lucky box with a folding fan in his hand.

As expected, there were ten books placed in the lacquer box.

The scholar reached out and took it out, quickly flipping through it. Everyone here was considered a well-educated person, and they could all see it clearly with a quick glance.

""The Secret Book of Golden Inscriptions", "The Record of the Stone Tiger", "The Family Instructions of the Liu Family", "Miscellaneous Notes of the Magic City"... these are common books, and the total price is indeed more than one silver dollar."

In the crowd, someone gave a free appraisal.

Seeing that he was not surprised, the scholar curled his lips and opened the blessing box with the word "地" without clearing it up.

This time, the hand speed was faster, and the ten books immediately appeared in everyone's eyes.

Everyone's expressions were normal for the first few books, but soon, the tenth book appeared, and the scholar almost let out an "ouch".

The people around him all had their eyes widened and their breathing quickened.

Someone exclaimed with envy:

"It's "The First Engraved Edition of Wei Gong's Interpretation of Pictures". This book was left by the great Confucian Duke Wei a hundred years ago. Only a few dozen copies were engraved for the first time, and most of them have been lost. Nowadays, one copy is worth at least two hundred silver dollars."

"This guy, maybe he stepped on dog shit this morning."

The scholar was in a very good mood at the moment, and he didn't mind the envy and slander from others.

First, he put the precious and important book into his arms, then rubbed his hands with anticipation and opened the last big blessing box.

This time, everyone stretched their necks and cast concerned glances.

It was unremarkable at first, until the third to last book appeared, and the sound of gasping air filled the cabin.

"It's "Ode to the Jade Terrace"!"

"Looking at the condition, it's worth at least three hundred silver dollars."

"Damn, this guy definitely stepped on more than one piece of shit this morning."

"I want to open the shopkeeper's. Give me one of each kind. No, three boxes of each kind."

"And me, give me all the blessing boxes with the sky font, starting from five."

"Herringbone lucky boxes, twenty boxes, hurry up."

"Three kinds, five boxes each."

…

Inside the cabin, something was out of control.

Tao Qian was so transparent that he was almost pushed out of the door.

Looking at this group of scholars, scholars, and bibliophiles who were all polite and elegant before, they now behave no differently than the aunties and uncles who rush to buy discounted vegetables at the wet market.

Tao Qian shook his head and complained directly: "Gambling is harmful to people."

The so-called Wenqu Lucky Box is essentially the same as a gambling lottery.

In particular, the No. 1 pick used many tricks in order to promote his career.

For example, in the beginning, the scholar who published two expensive books one after another, in Tao Qian's opinion, could never escape the suspicion of being a "shill".

Tao Qian, who had seen through all the tricks, should have turned around and left at this moment.

Open a blind box?

Do you think I have too much money?

As soon as this thought came to his mind, before he could stop it, Tao Qian suddenly froze, his head turned back, and his eyes suddenly locked on the herringbone bookshelf, the highest row, and the innermost blessing box.

His reaction came from the familiar throbbing feeling he felt at that moment.

Tao Qian had the same feeling when he dug out the "Remnant Art" from the mind of the patriot before he was beheaded.

"Extraordinary perception?"

Tao Qian immediately had some speculation in his mind.

Before he could think about it further, he caught a glimpse of the lacquer box on the herringbone bookshelf disappearing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

I'm afraid it won't be long before the box that made him feel throbbing will be bought.

Gritting his teeth, Tao Qian took action.

hesitate?

If it was a Tianzi blessing box worth five silver dollars, maybe he would really do it.

It's only one silver dollar, I can afford it... With this thought, Tao Qian's strange power burst out, and he squeezed in from the edge.

He quickly came to the cabinet, roughly pulled a bookboy over, put a silver dollar into his hand, then pointed at the target lacquer box and said:

"That, I just want that."

Although he received the money, the book boy who was almost strangled and vomited was not very happy.

When he turned around to get the blessing box for Tao Qian, he muttered silently: "The poor are very particular. What books they can open depends on luck, and it is useless to choose any weird location."

Tao Qian didn't hear the book boy's complaints, his attention was all on the weird blessing box.

Not long after, he got his own paint box without any danger.

He didn't open it immediately, but squeezed out again while holding the blessing box.

Tao Qian's original idea was to take the blessing box home first and open it alone. If he really gained something, he could keep it secret.

But soon, he denied himself again.

These book boats will leave in another hour, so we can't miss the opportunity.

"Verify first, if the throbbing and the feeling are the same as I guessed."

"In this weird world that is familiar yet unfamiliar, dark yet prosperous, I have the possibility of settling down and living, and even more."

"Whether it's a cheat or a plug-in, it should be more violent."

Tao Qian was nagging in his heart, and came to the corner, rubbing his hands together like an obsessed gambler.

Fortunately, there are many people acting like him in this cabin at this moment, so it can be said that they are not noticeable at all.

With a click, Tao Qian opened the blessing box.

There is no need to look at the title of the book or flip through the content.

Tao Qian followed that "inexplicable perception" and directly locked onto the third of the ten books.

Without taking it out, I only opened the first two books and looked at them.

This is a very thin book with a blue-black cover, old and full of wrinkles, but not dirty.

The title of the book is written in a crooked ancient seal script that looks like a tadpole. Thanks to the original author's knowledge, it can be easily recognized.

"Ten tricks of imitating animals?"

A very strange book title was recognized by Tao Qian.

Startled, Tao Qian turned to the first page.

What caught his eye was a picture booklet of some kind, with some faceless little people drawn on it, with their limbs bent, simulating some animals.

Tao Qian also knew this thing in his previous life. It was a small sports manual similar to Wu Qin Xi.

It should have nothing to do with the secrets of cultivation.

Tao Qian was thinking this when his fingertips touched the book.

Suddenly, the whole person was in a trance for a moment, and the crooked title of the book seemed to flow, as if it was an illusion, and it had a new name.

A show of birds!

Before Tao Qian could think about it, a stream of information suddenly exploded in his mind.

There was initial confusion, but it immediately formed the strange format he had seen last time:

[Title: Baiqinxi (remnant volume).]

[Zhi category: Kung Fu.]

[Chronicle: Eighty years ago, a human monk named himself "The Old Man of Hundreds of Animals", created his own practice method, and wrote a book called "The Play of Hundreds of Animals". By practicing according to this method, he can gradually shed his human form and gain hundreds of thousands of lives.

With the power of birds, if you practice it deeply, you can transform into the shape of hundreds of birds. You can fly up in the sky, and you can dive down into the underworld. This method hides cruelty and leads to the chaos of hundreds of birds. Tens of thousands of people were affected, causing the Tuo County to be devastated.

Nine of the ten rooms in the area were empty, so most of the books that had been completed were destroyed, and only one or two volumes were forged into other books and circulated in the world.]

[Note 1: This fragment occupies about one-tenth of the whole book, but the cost of practice has not changed. Once you start practicing, you will initially take off your human form, and then your human form, until your soul is completely filled with the nature of beasts, and then you will become a human being.

Monsters and monsters roam the world and are transcendent and free.】

[Note 2: If you want to practice this method, you need to collect the blood of the birds mentioned in the book and use the blood to perform the method before you can get started. 】

[Note 3: The price is exempt!]
