Alienated Martial Arts

Yun Ceng is a kind of creature?

Another name for a certain tree?

So, those purple gold scale coins might actually be made from this kind of tree?

However, no matter from the feel and material of the purple gold scale coin, or from the description of this animal skin scroll.

The sudden thing should not be a tree at all.

Several thoughts flashed through him in an instant.

Wei Tao wondered, "I don't think it's like a alias for a tree. According to the description in this book, shouldn't it be a god, a holy spirit, or a monster?"

"According to the way this book is written, it does seem to be talking about gods, monsters and monsters."

The man smiled and said, "Of course this is impossible. The guest just read this in the book and thought so.

To be honest, I was influenced by the content in the book just like the guest officer, and I found many ancient books to verify and compare with each other.

Finally, I finally found a relatively clear description, saying that the plum tree is a kind of tree that has disappeared, and it is a towering tree with an extremely long life. "

"And I also specifically checked at the beginning that even in the Luocha tribe, the deity worshiped is called the Holy Mother of Yinshan, and it has no connection with the so-called "Run Chong" in this book."

The man was so excited that his voice became much louder.

“As for scaly, the intended meaning may be the shape of the scales.

But the next sentence says "I only see golden pupils."

I also don’t understand why there are such obvious inconsistencies in the book.

Maybe the person who wrote the book was too careless and didn't proofread it carefully at all. "

At this point, the man slapped his thigh suddenly and sighed repeatedly.

"Besides, when I bought this book, I really thought of it as a unique ancient book that has been handed down from ancient times like the Great Wilderness Scripture.

I was obsessed with it for a while, but found out that it was mostly nonsense. "

Wei Tao nodded slightly.

When he was studying in a private school, he often read the Great Wilderness Sutra.

It's like the Book of Mountains and Seas in the previous life, which records all kinds of strange gods and strange creatures. The descriptions are fascinating and can kill time.

However, in the Great Desolation Scripture, there is no mention of the rapid golden pupils related to the purple gold scale coins.

"If you don't believe me, please read this page..."

At this point, the man suddenly became silent.

He glanced at Wei Tao with some guilt.

I was afraid that because I talked too much for a while, the guests would lose interest in these ancient books, thus ruining this three-tael silver business.

Wei Tao was completely unaware of his thoughts. After a moment of silence, he encouraged him with gentle words, "It's very good and very attractive. Continue."

Afraid that the man would be worried, he added, "Don't worry, I will definitely buy the book. Even if it is just a stack of waste paper, it will not delay me from spending real money."

"For no other reason than I just like the feeling of spending money casually."

The man squeezed the silver ingot in his palm tightly, his face turned red.

After a moment of silence, he sighed, "Since the guest officer is so straightforward and generous, I can no longer hide it and let the guest officer be deceived in the future."

Wei Tao blinked, "It's interesting. Why did you suddenly get deceived? Do you mean you are lying to me?"

The man waved his hands repeatedly, "No, no, no, I mean, just talking about this book, it is actually a lie."

Suddenly footsteps were heard, and a middle-aged woman came out of the back door of the shop, "Zhang Zhiqing, are you playing with those old books again? Are you waiting to buy something without seeing the customers!?"

"You are really useless as a scholar. You eat a lot all day long, but when you work..."

"Shut up!" Wei Tao suddenly turned his head and looked, a cold light flashing in his eyes.

"I, I..." The woman was startled. Before she could think of what to say, a crisp sound attracted all her attention.

A handful of broken silver was photographed by Wei Tao on the counter table.

It was so powerful that it was even photographed into a silver cake.

At a glance, there are at least three to five taels.

He pushed the silver in the direction of the woman.

He said coldly, "There is a golden house in the book. Knowledge can change your destiny. If you don't understand, don't mess around here."

"Yes, yes, the guest officer said that I am just a woman with long hair and short knowledge, which made the guest officer laugh."

She carefully picked up the silver.

He pinched his thigh hard again.

Suddenly his face was filled with a flattering smile.

"Qing Qing, knowledge changes destiny, so you should accompany this master to read and talk. Now my aunt will serve you a bowl of dry rice, and let Xiaoqing cut a piece of bacon for you to cook..."

Wei Tao didn't even look at the few taels of silver thrown out, his eyes were on the pages of the book from beginning to end.

"Okay, Mr. Zhang, go on."

Zhang Zhiqing's face turned red and he exhaled a long breath, "My lord, please look at the pictures on this page."

Wei Tao looked down and found that there was a bust drawn on the page.

To be more precise, it is a portrait displayed from four different perspectives through four patterns.

Wei Tao came closer and observed carefully.

The figure has four faces, with cheeks on the front, back, left and right.

Joy, anger, sorrow, and joy, each face has an expression.

There are also eight arms, each in different postures.

It looks like a half-length doll.

"I have evidence below. This book was simply fabricated by some people. The ultimate purpose is to deceive people and make money!"

The man pointed at the bust with four arms and made a startling statement.

"Oh, brother, why did you say this?"

Wei Tao suddenly became more interested.

"I can still hear about the business methods of writing books, selling goods and selling peripherals, which immediately brought back memories of my past.

Not to mention anything else, just based on today's chat, these few taels of silver are worth the price of admission. "

Although Zhang Zhiqing didn't quite understand what value for money meant, it didn't stop him from going on.

"Sir, please read the description of this picture. Do you find it mysterious and fascinating?

Looking at the material of this book page and the tortoise-shell inscriptions inside, do you think it is an antique from the past? "

He bent down and rummaged around in the wooden basket for a while, and finally took out something from the corner.

At first glance, what Zhang Zhiqing took out was a bronze mirror.

Upon closer inspection, I discovered that this was indeed a bronze mirror.

It's just that the front and back are engraved with round smiling faces, which doesn't function as a mirror at all.

There are indeed many similarities between the two smiling faces and the happy face in the bust.

The smiley face is about three inches in diameter.

It seems to be a craft.

It may also be a child's toy.

Wei Tao stared at this smiling face and was stunned for a moment.

Zhang Zhiqing put the things on the table so that Wei Tao could observe them carefully.

Then he continued, "But in fact, I spent money to find more than one master to appraise it. It is neither an antique, nor does the book seem to be an ancient book.

I don't know, but when I bought this book, there was something like this in it.

In addition, there are a dozen other small objects, all with corresponding patterns, presumably used to defraud people out of money. "

"It's a pity that I didn't check it the next time. I was confused by these tortoise-shell inscriptions, and I spent dozens of taels of silver in vain.

If the money is still there, at least I can have enough to eat for several years! "

Speaking of this, Zhang Zhiqing was still a little angry, and his voice sounded a little crying.

"Where are all the other small items!?"

Wei Tao suddenly raised his head and looked directly into his eyes.

Zhang Zhiqing shivered.

It felt like being targeted by a giant beast.

He could tear himself into pieces at any moment.

"Let me ask you, where are the other small items."

Wei Tao took a deep breath and tried to calm his tone.

"Lost, all lost."

Zhang Zhiqing's lips moved and he didn't know what he was talking about.

"This book has a total of more than ten pages, and there are exactly a dozen objects with pictures.

I don't think they are of any use, and I lose them all when I move them around. "

All lost...

All lost!

This is a living status bar gold coin.

Wei Tao shook his head and sighed, holding the smiling face tightly in his hand, fearing that he would lose it if he let go.

next moment.

He carefully put the volume away.

This book is more precious than the occasional few gold coins that come into your account.

If you can search for it according to the picture, it will greatly reduce the difficulty of collecting gold coins in the future.

Thinking of this, Wei Tao leaned forward and stared at the shivering Zhang Zhiqing with a sense of oppression.

"In the future, I want you to teach me how to identify turtle shell inscriptions."

"Do you agree or not?"

Zhang Zhiqing's throat surged and he kept licking his lips.

"Sir, of course I agree."

"Very good, I won't skip your tuition fees."

Wei Tao nodded with satisfaction and put a silver ingot into Zhang Zhiqing's hand.

"Don't look at the store these days. Take the time to sort out a list of tortoise shell inscriptions and the official inscriptions of the Great Zhou Dynasty. I'll find someone to pick them up."

Zhang Zhiqing held the silver ingot tightly and had mixed feelings for a moment, not knowing what to say.
