MTL - Longevity is Different, Caishikou Was Beheaded at the Beginning-Chapter 16 Forbidden Immortal Hall and the Demon God Army
When the whistle of the giant steam ship at the dock came from afar, the porters started to work, and the vegetable vendors from the suburban towns rushed into the city. The county wakes up from the dark night, and the residents start a new day.
The young owner of Chengyou Bookstore got up early today, or maybe he didn't sleep all night.
However, he was still full of energy. First, he wiped the shop clean with a rag, and then placed several sets of girl pictorials and novels collected on the Cedar Ship yesterday in the most conspicuous position.
There are also several sets of vulgar banned books such as "Yu Lou Chun" and "Nine-tailed Turtle", which he put in a hidden corner under the counter.
This thing needs to have real customers to deliver it.
Whether it is a previous life or here, the rules are the same, Tao Qianmen Qinger.
The arrangement was complete, Tao Qian clapped his hands and smiled with satisfaction.
"Qihuo, there must be a lot of silver dollars in the account today."
After saying proudly, Tao Qian smelled the aroma coming from the street corner, snorted, and turned to go out.
Not long after, he came back with a big bowl of wontons sprinkled with a sprinkling of chili peppers. He stirred them up with a spoon, and ate them.
After returning the bowl to the shopkeeper, Tao Qian turned back to the counter.
Take out a thick book called "The Chronicle of Longevity", put it on the counter, and open it to read it.
Obviously, Tao Qian is really very cute.
He is not only a newcomer in the cultivation world, but also a newcomer in this world.
In order to avoid making mistakes in the future, Tao Qian still intends to read the history of this world in his spare time, even though he has two memories of his original body.
"As a real scumbag, I actually prefer to scavenge for treasures instead of reading."
"My strange extraordinary perception ability can be used as an [extraordinary radar]. Although the range is limited, the chance of success is almost 100%."
"The most suitable place for me to play is naturally the trading market in the cultivation world. Among the knowledge taught by Wu Ming and Lin Xiaohua, there are many such places, but it is not so easy to get the admission ticket."
"But at this stage, I can still try my luck in places like 'bookstore' and 'temple fair'."
"Why don't you try it when you have time today?"
When a few thoughts fell, Tao Qian also officially began to read the New World History.
With the two memories in his mind, he quickly gained some understanding of the history of this world.
What he cares most about is naturally the historical records related to weirdness and cultivation.
To Tao Qian's surprise, there are quite a few descriptions in this regard.
According to the historical records, the history of this land is roughly divided into several stages:
In ancient times, when human beings were born, they struggled to survive among many monsters, ghosts, gods and beasts, and strange omens.
In ancient times, human beings gradually rose. Some human beings gained power from those indescribable things, and at the same time, they no longer feared them, but began to backlash and erode strange things in reverse. In the process, divisions also occurred within human beings, and super wars began to appear, each of which swept the earth with great momentum, and composed a series of heroic epics.
Until the Middle Ages, human beings continued to multiply and continued civil wars. The strange thing is that instead of declining, human beings became stronger, and even gradually defeated the land of China that was occupied by strange things, and achieved a comprehensive victory.
After that, it is ancient.
There is not much to say at this stage, but there is much to say.
"In recent times, it is actually a whole history of the Celestial Dynasty."
"This dynasty was established at the end of the Middle Ages. It was established by an emperor with great military exploits. He swept across Liuhe, annexed all directions, and completely ended the rule of strange things."
"For more than 2,000 years since then, although there are still all kinds of chaos, wars, uprisings, and natural disasters on this land... The ruling group has also been changing. This aspect is similar to the change of dynasties in the previous life, but it is unbelievable that for more than 2,000 years, every Every time a new ruler overthrew his predecessor, he invariably chose to continue the four characters of [Longevity Celestial Dynasty].”
"That is to say, this dynasty has actually lasted for more than 2,000 years, and it still is today."
Tao Qian, who had received nine years of compulsory education in his previous life, couldn't hide his surprise at this moment.
It's so normal. In his previous life, he knew about Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, and he also knew that the world's major events must be united for a long time and must be divided for a long time.
But I have never heard of a generation of feudal dynasties that can last for more than two thousand years.
Although the rulers on the throne have changed one after another, this still makes Tao Qian unbelievable.
Just when he looked at "The Chronicle of Longevity" with a bun-like expression on his face, suddenly a guest came to the door.
A short old man wearing a robe and a jacket and a pair of glasses.
Tao Qian looked up and saw that he was an acquaintance. The owner of the shop called "Xunxian Fur Shop" on the same street, he only knew the surname Ma, but he was unknown.
As soon as this owner Ma came in, his eyes locked directly on the new cargo area.
Pacing over, he first waved his hand to Tao Qian and said, "Scholar Tao, don't be polite, I heard that you have entered some new books, and the old man will pick out a few books for recreation."
After all, the old man really flipped through the pictorial albums a few times.
As he turned, his eyes flickered behind the lens.
Not long after, the old man grabbed a whole set of pictorial newspapers with both hands, put them under his armpit, took out the silver coins with the other hand, and put them directly on the counter in front of Tao Qian.
Very cool, turned around and went out of the store.
The action is smooth and smooth, with no sense of lag.
When the old man was gone, Tao Qian reacted, and while collecting the money, he sighed: "What an old man, handsome, and a model of my generation."
Not long after Tao Qian finished speaking, two more guests came together.
They are also acquaintances on the street, one is Boss Xu and the other is Boss Zhou.
The two of them went through the same process, each taking away a set of pictorial girl albums.
Boss Xu, who was still a bachelor, was a little squeamish. He had to walk under Tao Qian's counter with a set of forbidden books. The illustrated version was expensive.
In the next morning, Tao Qian could not find the full time to read the book.
There are unexpectedly many customers who come to buy books.
Almost all of the atlas books he collected from the Cedar ship yesterday were sold out.
Not only has he already paid back his money, he has also made a solid profit of ten silver dollars, and Tao Qian's money bag has filled up again.
For such a situation, Tao Qian could easily guess the reason. Someone must be behind the propaganda. Otherwise, it is unlikely that so many books and pictorials would be sold short this morning.
So he didn't sell all the inventory, and kept two complete sets, just waiting for the two to come and ask for credit.
Sure enough, it was noon.
The two figures swayed and stepped into the Chengyou Bookstore.
As soon as he entered the store, Li Sanyu, the owner of the strange stone shop who resembled Lin Yongjian, pointed to the empty new goods area with a bright smile on his face, and said proudly:
"I can see that Scholar Tao has made a lot of money this morning. He must have made a lot of money in his account, but yesterday, brother, my idea worked?"
"Boss Li, don't take the credit, I heard Lao Ma said that Tao Scholar's new product this time is mainly my idea. Did you not see that there are a few pictures of Hua Rongrong in the set of pictorial that Lao Ma bought. , wearing something called a 'bikini', my god, my arms and thighs are leaking clean and white."
"I can already imagine the popularity of these albums. The provincial capital is like this. In Xunxian County, once they are in stock, they will definitely sell out."
"If I didn't expect Scholar Tao to save me a set, I would have robbed it from the old horse."
Jia Qiang, who had a treacherous face, followed suit.
As he spoke, he looked like he was about to drool.
Seeing this, Tao Qian didn't interrupt, but smiled and took out two sets of books and pictorials directly from under the counter.
First shoved into the arms of the two of them, and then cupped their hands and said:
"Thanks to the advice of the two brothers, this shop finally made some money."
"Tai'an Ju mutton pot, which was agreed today, both brothers know my nature, Tao Scholar, so don't refuse, let's go."
While speaking, Tao Qian dragged the two of them out the door.
The money bag swelled up, and Tao Qian was very confident.
He closed the shop directly, and dragged the two business strategists to a restaurant not far away.
With the body and memory of the original body, Tao Qian's performance is extremely natural.
He was sure that even the dearest friends and relatives who were most familiar with the original body were here, it would be difficult to tell that the thin and handsome scholar's body had changed his soul.
The three went to Tai'anju together, and the mutton pot, which was also expensive for a meal, was brought up.
For some purpose, Tao Qian also ordered some wine intimately.
Gongchou staggered, under the deliberate guidance of Tao Qian, the two soon began to point out the country and the political situation.
Tao Qian is also familiar with this set, but if you want people to say this in a previous life, you don't need drinks, just a keyboard.
The words may be a bit exaggerated, but it is enough for Tao Qian to know the general pattern of the Changsheng Dynasty in terms of economy, politics, military and so on. UU reading www.uukanshu.com
The original body is a pedantic scholar after all, and these are all weaknesses.
Although Tao Qian can collect newspapers and the like to make up for it, it is a better way to listen to the explanations of the local indigenous businessmen.
However, when the two talked about it, they seemed to touch on a certain topic, and there was a look of worry on their faces at the same time, and each said:
"Boss Li, Scholar Tao, you've heard about the accident on the dock yesterday."
"What kind of husband eats their wives, their sons offer their flesh, fathers and sons cannibalize each other, human beings turn into blood and animals... they are all evildoers. I heard that in the recent period of time, demons and monsters in various provinces, cities and counties have been particularly active, and there have been a lot of terrifying incidents. , the life of the common people has become more and more difficult."
"Who said no, this world is too bitter."
"But I heard that the imperial court has specially built a new yamen for these demons, what is it called [Forbidden Immortal Hall], and it has collected experts from all walks of life, as well as warriors in the army, to exterminate these monsters and gods. ."
"If the yamen of various cities and counties need it, people who apply for the Forbidden Immortal Hall can also be stationed in the local area for many years."
Speaking of which, Jia Qiang, the owner of the pharmacy, whose source was obviously more well-informed, suddenly turned his head and looked outside the box door.
Seeing no outsiders, he "shush" at the two of them again.
Then, whispered:
"I'll give you some news, don't spread it for the time being."
"Actually, the gentlemen of Xunxian County have already applied to the above for the stationing of the powerful and powerful people in the Forbidden Immortal Hall. Not only that, the county elders also asked the provincial capital to send a regiment of new-style troops to come here."
"It's not for the Cao Gang who practiced sorcery, but for... the Demon God Army!"
"hiss"
Jia Qiang spit out those three words, Tao Qian and Li Sanyu immediately showed shock on their faces.
