"Book Tomb Notes"?
Liu Xing leaned forward, looked at the novel in Wang Tairan's hands, and found that it was the first volume of "Book Tomb Notes" that he had sold at the auction house.

"Why is this novel in your hands?" Liu Xing felt strange.

"Sent by Xiao Cai." Wang Tairan said indifferently.

"Xiao Cai?"

Liu Xing was stunned for a moment, and after pondering for a long time, he finally understood that the "Xiao Cai" in Wang Tairan's mouth should refer to Cai Fugui, right?

Cai Fugui is over 50 years old this year, so he is considered an elder.It's just that Wang Tairan is 98 years old this year, and his seniority is two generations higher than Cai Fugui. In Wang Tairan's eyes, Cai Fugui, a fat middle-aged uncle, has become a "little Cai".

"Xiao Cai bought "Book Tomb Notes" for 90 yuan, how could he be willing to give it to you?" Liu Xing asked curiously.

Wang Tairan smiled and didn't say anything, but he knew it clearly in his heart.

Wang Tairan will officially retire next year, and the management of Fiction Street will change.In such a special period, many booksellers on Fiction Street are naturally keeping their eyes on the position of the management.

Who will take over these positions, Wang Tairan plays a decisive role.If he wants to promote someone, no one in the novel street can stop him.

Cai Fugui suddenly gave Wang Tairan a copy of "Book Tomb Notes" worth nearly one million, the intention could not be more obvious, how could Wang Tairan not know?
Originally, Wang Tairan didn't like such small favors, but this "Book Tomb Notes" just hit Wang Tairan's death spot.He is a hardcore old book fan who has read novels for more than 80 years, and his favorite is tomb robbery novels.

This "Book Tomb Notes" is the first two-star novel in the country, which is an irresistible temptation for Wang Tairan.

"Xiao Liu, is the second volume of "Notes on the Tomb" in your hands?" Wang Tairan asked suddenly. He finished reading the first volume yesterday, but suddenly there was no more content. He felt uncomfortable all over. Today, he specially came to find Liu Xing. I want the second volume.

"I only have the first volume of "Book Tomb Notes." Liu Xing said truthfully.

"Xiao Liu, you can't be so selfish!" Wang Tairan said with a serious face, "Good books should be shared, you can't keep the other books private, it's too unkind."

"..." Liu Xing could quite understand Wang Tairan's mood at this moment. He himself had a similar experience. When he read a good book in the middle and suddenly there was no chapter, he really felt panicked.

"Old Wang, I don't keep it privately, and the second volume really doesn't belong to me."

"Anyway, if you don't take out the second volume of "Notes on the Tomb", I won't give you this "General Outline of Ma Xingkong's Obsession with God." Wang Tairan said with a straight face, and suddenly became a little stubborn.

Liu Xing had an idea, and said, "I really don't have "Book Tomb Notes", but I do have another one-star tomb robbery novel, do you want to read it?"

Wang Tairan frowned: "There are only 19 one-star tomb-robbing novels in the country. In the past two years, there have been no new tomb-robbing novels. Where do you get one-star tomb-robbing novels?"

Wang Tairan's words are not wrong. The number of tomb robbery novels in China is very small, mainly because of the high difficulty of their creation.Apart from other things, very few people know the information about the making process of the book coffin.

The book coffin is a device used by ancient novelists to store books. It is equivalent to a combination box. Its structure is extremely exquisite and the craftsmanship is quite complicated. Except for the book coffin craftsman, it is impossible for laymen to understand it.

Therefore, there are very few writers who can create high-level tomb robbery novels.

"Old Wang, not only do I have a one-star tomb-robbing novel, but this one also tells the story of a book coffin craftsman making an anti-theft coffin..."

Before Liu Xing finished speaking, the expression on Wang Tairan's face had already changed subtly: "Book coffin maker? Xiao Liu, are you kidding me? The profession of book coffin maker disappeared more than 100 years ago." , how can anyone write such a novel now?"

Liu Xing reminded: "What if the author is a descendant of the Lu family?"

"A descendant of the Lu family?"

Wang Tairan was slightly taken aback. The ancestors of the Lu family were the most famous book coffin craftsmen in China hundreds of years ago. The level of Lu family's book coffin craftsmanship is second to none in the entire China: "You really have such a novel?"

"Yes, the title of the book is "The Master Craftsman of the Book Coffin." Liu Xing rubbed the tip of his nose and talked about the conditions, "If I lend you this "Master of the Book Coffin", you must also borrow "The Master of the Book Coffin". Lend me "The General Outline of Walking the Space and Entering the Gods."

"What a boy, you actually bargained with me." Wang Tairan's face remained calm, but his heart was already tickled.He has read more than a dozen one-star tomb-robbing novels, but he has never read a tomb-robbing novel about the coffin maker.

"If you really have a star-rated novel about the coffin maker, I can lend you my ecstasy outline."

"It's a word."

Liu Xing originally wanted to take Wang Tairan to his home to pick up the novel, but Wang Tairan was trapped in the study to avoid Wang Lanlan and couldn't get out at all.

Helpless, Liu Xing had no choice but to go home alone to pick up the novel "The Great Craftsman of the Book Coffin".

This "Book Coffin Master" was found when he bought waste books last month. He originally wanted to send it to the Book Inspection Center for appraisal, but he has been busy practicing reading skills recently and has not spared time.

An hour later, Liu Xing returned to Lantian Community with the novel. When he passed the living room, he found Wang Lanlan acting strangely.

I saw Wang Lanlan put on a black night clothes: black top, black pants, black sneakers, and a black peaked cap.

On the table next to her was a map of Yufeng Mountain. On the map were a telescope with night vision function, a mobile phone and a sharp knife.In addition, there is also a black device similar to a mobile phone, and it is not clear what it is at the moment.

"Wang Lanlan, what are you doing?"

"Preparing to go to the book tomb in Yufeng Mountain for field investigation!"

"Didn't you go to Yufeng Mountain in the morning?"

"A few policemen guarded the tomb in the morning and didn't let me in. I'm going to sneak in after dark at night, hehe." Wang Lanlan said while arranging the equipment on the table.

Liu Xing stepped forward and asked curiously, "What are these piles of things used for?"

Wang Lanlan introduced: "This map is used to check the terrain of Yufeng Mountain, so as to choose the correct route to sneak into the tomb of books. This night vision telescope is used to monitor every move of the police, so that it is convenient to sneak in. Is this mobile phone After sneaking into the book tomb, it is used to take pictures and also serves as lighting equipment.”

"What is this big black brother?"

"This is not a mobile phone, but a wireless bug!"

"Why do you want a bug?"

"Of course it's eavesdropping on the conversations of the police!" Wang Lanlan pursed her lips and explained seriously, "The police guard the tomb of books tightly. I must collect more intelligence information through the wiretapping device to increase the success rate of sneaking into the tomb of books."

"..." Liu Xing was a little speechless, isn't this girl working too hard?In order to write a mystery novel about the book coffin, it is so hard?
"Liu Xing, what do you think of my black night clothes?" At this time, Wang Lanlan's petite body turned around and made a ballet movement, showing off.

Liu Xing reminded: "Wang Lanlan, no one is allowed to enter the Yufengshan Book Tomb. You are so heavily armed and trying to sneak into the book tomb secretly. You are not afraid of being arrested by the police when you blatantly oppose the police?"

"It's okay." Wang Lanlan looked confident, "Anyway, I'm a minor, and the police uncle will let me go, hehe."

"..." Liu Xing immediately convinced the little girl, it seemed that her plan was carefully prepared, and she even thought about the way forward.

"Liu Xing, do you want to go with me to Yufeng Mountain to inspect the book tomb?"

"No, I'm already an adult."

"Okay, I'll go first."

After finishing speaking, Wang Lanlan put away the sharp knife, picked up the night vision binoculars, rolled up the map of Yufeng Mountain, took a wireless bug, and carried a backpack containing food and mineral water, and then left alone in a black night clothes .

Looking at her figure bouncing away, Liu Xing shook his head, said nothing, and immediately returned to the study.

When he came to the bathroom in the study, he knocked on the door of the secret room behind the toilet. With a beep, the wall slowly opened, and Wang Tairan was still waiting in the secret room.

"Old Wang, your precious granddaughter is planning to go to Yufeng Mountain to break into the book tomb and confront the police, so you don't care?"

"This is a good thing, why should I care about it?" Wang Tairan said with a natural look, "A novelist's thinking should be unconstrained, unrestrained, and do things that ordinary people dare not do. Lan Lan's current creative route is completely correct. of."

Liu Xing was speechless, but a sentence suddenly came to mind - the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked.

"Did you bring the novel?"

"Give."

After receiving "The Master Craftsman of the Book Coffin", Wang Tairan opened the book, squinted his old eyes, and began to read.

Taking advantage of his free time, Liu Xing checked the collection of books on the bookshelf in this secret room.

In Huaxia Kingdom, many scholars have private libraries.Due to the high price of star novels, the library is basically equal to the treasure room, so it is generally designed to be relatively hidden.

Although Wang Tairan's library is not big, there are many star-rated novels on the bookshelves. Liu Xing roughly scanned and found 18 two-star novels and 7 three-star novels, which should be worthy Millions of dollars!
Looking at these novels, Liu Xing thought to himself: When will I get to know this old man better, and borrow some books from him to read.

"That's right, this "The Master Craftsman of the Book Coffin" should really be a one-star novel." At this moment, Wang Tairan said suddenly, he had already finished the first half of "The Master Craftsman of the Book Coffin", and he was generally satisfied with the quality of this novel. understood.

Although Wang Tairan is not a professional book appraiser, he has studied reading for more than 80 years, and his level of book appraisal is not much worse than that of ordinary book appraisers.With decades of experience, he has already determined that the "Master of the Book Coffin" in front of him is of a one-star standard.

"This novel reminds me of a past event."

"past?"

"A past event more than 50 years ago." Wang Tairan slowly recalled, "More than 50 years ago, I once read a news that a writer named Lu spent 15 years writing a novel about tomb robbers. This novel has condensed his whole life's painstaking efforts. As a result, this novel was recognized by the book appraiser as an ordinary novel. The author surnamed Lu couldn't bear the blow, and finally died in depression. Alas, what a pity!"

A few decades ago, the level of book appraisal in China was relatively low, and the book appraisal equipment was very backward. Many good books were missed, and at the same time, many excellent novelists were buried.

The author of this book "The Great Craftsman of the Coffin" is one of them.

"Xiao Liu, how do you know that "The Master Craftsman of the Book Coffin" is a one-star novel?" At this time, Wang Tairan asked strangely. It is very difficult to find a star novel from a waste book. .

"Uh..." Liu Xing explained, "This novel is very professionally written, so I guess it should be a star novel."

"How do you know it's very professionally written?"

"Because there are many terms in the novel that I don't understand."

"..."

Wang Tairan smiled, it was the first time he had heard of this method of appreciating books, he took a light breath, picked up the "Ma Xingkong's General Compendium of Entering the Gods" beside him, and handed it over, "I lent you this book. "

When he held "Ma Xingkong's Outline of God" in his hand, Liu Xing's eyes lit up slightly, his chest bumped wildly, his heart beat suddenly accelerated, the blood in his whole body seemed to be boiling, and he suddenly felt like he was about to reach the pinnacle of life!
This general outline of ecstasy was written by Ma Xingkong, the ancestor of the novel, more than 900 years ago. More than 900 years have passed, and no one can practice the theory in the general outline.

It is a dazzling pearl, but it has to be silent in the long river of history.

And today, there may be a turning point in history.

Liu Xing, the new owner of this general outline, will impact the supreme realm of the integration of Chinese reading skills, man and book, and realize the ultimate dream of countless scholars for thousands of years-to be absorbed!
