Those Years When I Was at the Pawnshop Appraiser

In this world, apart from the known top experts, there are many hidden existences.

Some of them are so strong that they are by no means weaker than those who are peerless in the world.

The Kaiza demon is just one of them.

...

Ye Tianquan is a villager in Yejia Village.

When he was young, because of a battle that happened near Yejia Village, he yearned for martial arts very much.

However, although Ye Family Village is located at the foot of Huanggen, it is not considered poor, but the conditions of his family are not very good.

In addition to being able to maintain the livelihood of a family of four, he can at most support him in some private schools.

It's not that he wants to obtain fame and success in his studies, but his far-sighted father hopes that he will not be like himself, who can only do some coolies, and it is best to enter some shops and find some relatively decent jobs.

Over the past few years, he has been in line with his father's wishes, and he has learned books such as Hundred Surnames and Thousand Characters thoroughly, at least he can be regarded as literate.

As for literary talent?

Don't look forward to it at all.

A private school that only charges one or two taels of silver a year can't train any talented people at all, let alone Wenqu stars who can get fame.

However, even though he has been learning to read and write from private schools, Ye Tianquan has never forgotten his dream.

That is martial arts.

After reading the book every day, I would go to Uncle Jia, a hunter in the village, to learn some boxing.

Although Uncle Jia only knows some crop moves and his martial arts is not high, he never tires of it and keeps practicing.

Not to mention how much his martial arts has improved, but his small body has become a bit stronger.

Occasionally, he would go up the mountain with Uncle Jia, hunt some prey, and then go to the city to sell it.

The money from selling the goods is his little treasury.

He knew that just following Uncle Jia would lead to nothing.

It is also impossible to be as powerful as those real martial arts masters.

Therefore, he has always thought of saving money, and then entering a martial arts gym to learn from a teacher.

By chance, he suddenly learned from his classmates that some bookstores would also sell some books about martial arts, and his mind immediately became excited.

Learning martial arts in the martial arts hall requires too much money.

Just half a year of study requires more than ten taels, and it also needs various nourishments.

Naturally, the small treasury he has saved is far from enough.

So, he slowly put his mind on those bookstores, bought some so-called 'martial arts cheats', and then went back to practice by himself.

Don't say it.

Although most of them are common goods, there are indeed some subtleties in some martial arts moves. At least much better than what he learned from Uncle Jia.

After a few months, he has made great progress, even three or five people of ordinary age can't get into him.

Occasionally, when he sparred with Uncle Jia, he was even able to fight against him for several rounds.

Everything is developing in a good direction.

Today, as usual, he followed Uncle Jia into the city.

A few days ago, he was lucky enough to find an injured fox demon. After carefully beating it to death with a wooden stick, the complete fox fur was worth at least three taels of silver. He planned to sell the fox fur before going to In the bookstore, Tao came out with a book of martial arts secrets.

The Fiery Knife Technique that he took out earlier made his strength greatly improved. This time, he planned to buy a book that he had already liked last time, but because of his lack of money, he couldn't get the cheat book that he bought, "Three Forms of Body Refining" ".

The three exercises for body training are said to be the real body training method for warriors.

It is completely different from his previous practice of only relying on his own strength and exercising his body.

It is said that being able to exercise the inside and outside of the body makes him really step into the road of martial arts, and he also heard from Uncle Jia that for a real martial arts practitioner, although martial arts moves are important, the most important thing is the physical body.

The first level of martial arts training is also body training.

In short,

From the "Three Forms of Body Training", he saw the possibility of himself becoming a real warrior.

Therefore, Ye Tianquan first came to a familiar leather armor shop and sold the fox fur.

Surprisingly, because the fox's hair is beautiful and relatively intact, the shopkeeper gave a high price and sold it for five taels of silver.

He planned to go to a jewelry store to buy a hairpin after buying the cheat book. The younger sister in the family is already ten years old. Although she is only a yellow-haired girl, she has already begun to love beauty. She often stands by the water and plays with her hair. .

Because of his poor family, he could only tie up his hair with a straw rope. He saw the envious eyes of the little girl looking at other women with headdresses in the village several times.

As an older brother, he naturally loves his younger sister, and would think of buying her a hairpin.

"Wansheng Bookstore!"

Ye Tianquan soon came to the door of a bookstore.

This is a family he often visits. The bookstore is not big, but there are many books in it. Several bookshelves are placed there, and there are many books on them.

Four books and five classics, hundreds of schools of thought, various number theories, arithmetic, and some articles written by literati and poets, policy theory... Each article is exquisitely wrapped, and the position is placed in the most conspicuous.

Many wealthy sons in brocade robes, or accomplished scholars, stood in front of these bookshelves, picking one by one, and occasionally flipping through them.

The shopkeeper saw it and didn't stop it. It was only after the other party stayed for too long that he approached carefully to remind him a thing or two.

After all, the bookstore also makes money by buying books. This kind of prostitution should naturally be banned.

Ye Tianquan carefully avoided those noble sons, and went directly to a corner of the bookstore.

Here is his destination.

A storage place for some miscellaneous books.

Most of the items on display are story books, biographies, and some Jianghu deeds, and there are even Qunhuapu, rankings of young heroes, and lists of martial arts.

Because he came a lot, and the boy in the bookstore had some kind of friendship with him, so he could have about half an hour of reading time without being chased away, so he also watched some of the records in it a lot, My heart is also tight with envy and yearning.

However, today his purpose has long been clear.

Therefore, I didn't spend too much time on those miscellaneous books, and directly found the "Three Forms of Body Refining".

He had searched for the price last time, and knew that this cheat book would cost three taels of silver. If it wasn't for the high price of the fox fur, he would really not be willing to spend such a sum of money.

At least it takes some hesitation.

"Decided, do you want to buy this book?"

The owner of the bookstore looked up at him and asked with a smile.

"Well, this is it."

The appraiser Ye Tianquan nodded, and was about to take out the silver when he suddenly saw a stack of new books on the shopkeeper's desk.

It is not surprising that there are new books in the bookstore.

According to him, this Wansheng Bookstore is one of the best bookstore branches in Shengjing City. It is backed by Wanjia. Almost every few days, new books will be printed and sent to various branches.

However, what surprised him was that what was on the table of the owner of the bookstore was a miscellaneous book.

To be precise, it is a book like martial arts cheats.

It happened to be the category he was most interested in.

You must know that the books next to the shopkeeper are actually the most popular books in the current period, and they are also the kind of books promoted by the shopkeeper.

And these books are often those literary works, classic annotations, poems and articles written by writers and poets... As for miscellaneous books such as martial arts, it is almost impossible to appear in this position.

"Could it be that this book was written by some strong man?"

He is also smart, knowing that only those who are strong can make Wansheng Bookstore so highly recommended.

After all, for those existences, they don't care whether the books are popular or not, all they want is a face.

He had read quite a few books of this kind before, and there were still some real things in them, especially some deeds, which made him have a strong yearning for martial arts.

"Shopkeeper, what is this book?"

Out of curiosity, he couldn't help asking.

His eyes immediately fell on the book cover.

The appearance is very exquisite, it is the image of a handsome knight standing with his sword in his arms, and there are special paintings embellished with water mills, even the handwriting of the name of the book is very clever, it can be seen that it has been written by a famous artist.

""Martial Arts Fundamentals"?

This tone is really big.

How dare one person speak directly about martial arts? "

He murmured in his heart, of course he didn't dare to speak out.

As for buying?

The moment he saw the cover, he stopped thinking.

These well-made books, which are promoted by the main store, are often not cheap.

This book, judging from the thickness and the quality of the paper, the price is at least around ten taels of silver.

Only those wealthy families are willing to spend money to buy.

But how many of those people would buy books about martial arts in the bookstore?

They can invite masters to teach directly.

Therefore, he, Ye Tianquan, has actually judged in his heart that this book will definitely not be a hit.

"Sincerely three taels of silver."

The shopkeeper first said a word, and then explained to Ye Tianquan: "This book on the basics of martial arts is incredible.

It was our Master Wan who personally arranged and laid out the books of the whole country.

Don't look at it as just the basics of martial arts, but it is indeed written by Kunlun Taoist, the top powerhouse in the world, the descendant of the hermit sect.

It is definitely the gospel of countless people who are skilled in martial arts. "

"Kunlun Taoist?

Isn't this a Taoist priest? Also write martial arts cheats? "

Ye Tianquan was taken aback, and asked strangely.

"Then, how do I know?

Maybe people are both good at martial arts? "

The shopkeeper waved his hand and said impatiently.

In fact, he has no interest in this book at all.

If it wasn't for the shopkeeper personally giving the order and promoting it, he would not hesitate to say it.

In his heart, he considers himself a scholar, and he despises books such as martial arts secret books, thinking that they are dross, and they are insulting to gentlemen...

Naturally, although the book was right in front of him, he never opened it.

Only when someone is interested, I reluctantly introduce one or two.

"Then what is the price of this book?"

Even though he knew that this book must be of great value, he still couldn't help asking curiously.

He felt that this book should have a great effect on him.

Basic articles, what is the foundation? Naturally, it is the lowest level, and it is also the most suitable for beginners like myself.

If you can buy this book, you should be able to avoid many detours in your martial arts training path.

"The price is not expensive, only one tael of silver."

The shopkeeper said lightly.

This is also the reason why he does not approve of this book.

As the owner of Wansheng Bookstore, he is very clear about the various costs of books.

This "Martial Arts Fundamentals", regardless of other things, just the production cost is definitely not low. The cover and the paper printed into the book are all the best among them. More than two silver.

It is estimated that such books were printed on the spur of the moment by those big shots. Naturally, he didn't want to read such useless books and dirty his eyes for nothing.

"May I have a look?"

However, Ye Tianquan was completely moved when he heard the words.

But I was also afraid that the content of this book might not match what he thought, after all, he didn't have much money on him, and he could save a little bit.

One tael of silver is not a lot to him.

"Look, but only for a while."

The owner nodded casually.

Hearing this, Ye Tianquan rubbed his hands excitedly and picked up one of them.

He has never touched such a well-made book, so he is very careful.

""Basics of Martial Arts", written by Taoist Kunlun.

Sure enough, it was written by a Taoist Kunlun, but I don't know who this Taoist Kunlun is?

Hidden sect heir? "

Living in the countryside, he had naturally never heard of the name of the so-called Kunlun Taoist.

In fact.

Although the title of Kunlun Taoist has penetrated into Shengjing City, not many people really know about it.

After all, there is only one story about him.

Things happen every day in the rivers and lakes. After a gust of wind passes, naturally fewer people pay attention.

At most, some forces have noticed such a person and have a little understanding.

Without staying too long on the cover, Ye Tianquan couldn't wait to turn to the first page.

What appeared in front of him was a painting.

One, recording a painting of a person posing and practicing martial arts.

Then instantly.

He froze.

A pair of eyes, fixedly staring at the painting.

The mind is completely attracted.

It seems that at this moment, he is like the person in the painting. In an instant, he understood the meaning conveyed in the painting. The opponent is practicing martial arts at this time.

And what he practiced was a very brilliant martial art.

At least, it is countless times better than the "Three Forms of Body Training" that he is planning to buy.

"This book, this book... buy it, you must buy it."

Ye Tianquan suddenly became short of breath.

Although he doesn't understand martial arts, he also has his own insights.

It is very clear what is unusual about this book.

Not to mention anything else, but the painting in the first article made him feel that it was worth a thousand gold, far more than that one tael of silver.

So, resisting the urge to follow the person in the conversation and adjust his breathing rhythm, he quickly closed the book and said, "I bought this book.

I'll give you a tael of silver. "

As soon as he finished speaking, he took out the silver directly, which was rare and bold.
