Chapter 58
"99.89%...99.88%...99.89%...99.87%..."

The matching degree of "Book Tomb Notes" is like an electrocardiogram, with ups and downs, sometimes high and sometimes low, and it is only half a step away from ecstasy.

It's just that every time it approaches 99.9%, it seems to encounter a huge gap, and it is always difficult to move forward by half a step, and it always lingers before 99.90.

Liu Xing calmed down, concentrated his thoughts, and gave full play to his imagination, trying to break through the last bottleneck.

Time passed by, and more than ten hours passed away without a sound.

"Ugh!"

With a long sigh, Liu Xing suddenly put down the "Book Tomb Notes" in his hand, and it was the same as yesterday, only a little bit of success in trance, but it was this last little bit that cost him eight days.

"No, it seems that you have to learn more about the book coffin maker to fit into this role!"

Liu Xing actually understood his problem very well in his heart. The difficulty in concentrating on "Book Tomb Notes" was not because of his lack of reading skills, but because he did not know enough about the profession of book coffin maker.

The protagonist of the novel "Notes on the Tomb of the Book" is a book coffin maker. He sacrificed his life to make the book coffin in order to protect the books.

Liu Xing doesn't know much about the profession of coffin maker. In the process of reading novels, it is always difficult to integrate into this role, which seriously affects the sense of substitution.

One must enter a state of ecstasy and fully integrate into the characters in the book. If the integration is not complete, it is impossible to integrate human and book.

Liu Xing once searched the Internet for materials about coffin craftsmen, and also borrowed some classics from Professor Juan.Unfortunately, these are still far from enough.There are very few records in ancient books about coffin craftsmen, and they are all hearsay, so the reference value is very limited.

Eight days have passed, and Liu Xing still hasn't found a way to fit into the role of coffin maker.

After resting all night, he came to work at Meteor Bookstore in the early morning of the next day. In his free time, he continued to search the Internet for information about the coffin maker.

The authenticity of the information on the Internet is very low, and there is a mixed bag. After searching for a long time, there is no substantial gain.

Dangdang, at this moment, there was a burst of crisp high-heeled footsteps, Liu Xing looked up, and a young woman walked into the bookstore.

The woman is about 24 years old, with a beautiful oval face, as if it is a P picture made with computer graphics software. The almost perfect face shape and proportion are impeccable.

She was dressed in a beautiful black uniform, wrapping her delicate body, and her long black silk-like hair was draped over her fragrant shoulders. In contrast, her snow-white skin looked crystal clear, like white jade.

She walked into the bookstore lightly, with a dignified demeanor and an extremely elegant figure. Every gesture of her hands exuded an innate noble temperament.

It was rare for a customer to come to the door, Liu Xing asked: "Miss, do you want to buy books?"

A pair of beautiful eyes looked in the bookstore, and the woman asked in a delicate voice: "Little brother, is Liu Xing there?"

"..." For some reason, Liu Xing always felt that this question was very awkward, and asked, "Are you looking for Liu Xing?"

"En." The woman nodded slightly, "I'm here to visit his old man's house today, and I have something to thank him for. Little brother, is Mr. Liu Xing at home?"

"Sir?"

Liu Xing was a little speechless, he was only 18 years old, when did he become an old man, what happened to this woman in front of him?

After clearing his throat, Liu Xing declared: "Miss, I am Liu Xing."

The woman's Liu eyebrows were bent, she looked Liu Xing up and down, covered her mouth with her small hand and smiled, and said, "Little brother, it's wrong to pretend to be Mr. Liu Xing. Stop playing, tell me where Mr. Liu Xing is, I have something to do with him." .”

Liu Xing took out his pocket, took a wallet, took out a personal ID card from the wallet, and handed it out: "Here."

"what?"

"personal I.D."

The woman smiled lightly, thinking that Liu Xing was joking again, and felt that this little brother was really naughty, so she pressed Liu Xing's ID card casually, took a closer look, and then was taken aback.

After a moment of astonishment, the woman's pretty face showed surprise, looked Liu Xing up and down again, and asked half-believingly: "Are you really... Liu Xing?"

"Do you want to go to the police station to open an account certificate?"

"But...how is this possible?"

The woman still couldn't believe it, and after communicating with Liu Xing for a long time, she finally believed in an unbelievable fact: the boy who looked like a high school student in front of her was really the Liu Xing she was looking for.

After confirming her identity, the woman's attitude changed obviously. She stretched out her small hand and said formally: "Mr. Liu, hello, I'm really sorry, I have offended you just now, please forgive me."

Liu Xing said bluntly, "You don't have to be so polite, you have something to do with me?"

The woman handed over a business card. Liu Xing looked at it and saw the words "Lu Yuxin, General Manager of Lujia Liquor Group in Tianhai City" written on the card.

"Lu's Winery?" Liu Xing was slightly surprised that the beautiful woman in front of him was actually the general manager of Lu's Winery.

Lujia wine is one of the four famous brand wines in China. It has a history of hundreds of years. Lujia wine can be seen in many high-end banquets or occasions. It is a symbol of status. Ordinary people can't drink it. started.

Because the price is too expensive, the most common bottle costs several thousand yuan.

Liu Xing was a little puzzled. The general manager of the dignified Lujia Liquor Group actually went to the bookstore. What kind of intentions did such a giant Buddha come to visit?
"Mr. Liu, it may be a little presumptuous to come to you suddenly today." Lu Yuxin said, "There is just something I have to say thank you to you in person."

Liu Xing was puzzled: "Thank me for what?"

Lu Yuxin reminded: "Do you still remember Lu Yingqin?"

"Lu Yingqin?" Liu Xing thought the name sounded familiar, rolled his eyes, and said for a moment, "Oh, I remembered, Lu Yingqin is the author of the tomb-robbing novel "The Master of Book Coffins", right?"

"Yes." Lu Yuxin nodded again and again, "I am Lu Yingqin's granddaughter. A few days ago, I suddenly received a call from the Book Inspection Center, saying that "The Master of the Book Coffin" written by my grandfather more than 50 years ago was It was re-appraised as a one-star novel. My grandfather spent more than ten years writing this novel, but the novel was appraised as an ordinary novel. In the end, my grandfather died of depression because of this incident. I am revising the draft of the novel."

Hearing this, Liu Xing finally understood the situation a little bit.

A few months ago, Liu Xing once found a tomb-robbing novel of "The Great Craftsman of the Book Coffin" among the discarded books. After checking with the book eye, he found that it was a one-star novel.Later, this novel was borrowed by Wang Tairan to read, and it was not sent to the Book Inspection Center for appraisal until a few days ago.

After the identification results came out, the book testing center called the descendants of the author of the book.

After receiving the news from the Book Testing Center, Lu Yuxin was overjoyed and she was so excited that she wept on the spot.This "Master of the Book Coffin" was her grandfather Lu Yingqin's life's painstaking effort, and now it has been appraised as a one-star novel, which can be regarded as the fulfillment of the greatest wish of the grandfather during his lifetime, and the grandfather under the nine springs can finally rest in peace.

In the final analysis of this matter, there is only one person to thank, and that is Liu Xing.

It is precisely because Liu Xing discovered from the waste books that "The Master of the Coffin" is a star novel that Lu Yingqin's works more than 50 years ago received the most fair evaluation.

Lu Yuxin came to Liu Xing today to thank him face to face.She originally thought that Liu Xing should be an old old book appraiser, because to be able to find star novels from waste books, one must be very proficient in book appraisal.

Book appraiser is a profession with very high technical content. The age of ordinary book appraisers is generally over 35 years old, and the higher the level of book appraisers, the older they are.

What Lu Yuxin didn't expect was that Liu Xing, who helped her grandfather get justice, was just an 18-year-old high school student.

"Mr. Liu, thank you very much. Thank you for helping my grandpa realize his greatest wish." Lu Yuxin said sincerely, "I really don't know how to thank you. If you need anything, I can help you." Tell me directly, as long as I can do it, I will never hesitate to define it."

"Ms. Lu, I am serious. It is my honor to read such a fine novel as "The Master of the Book Coffin" written by your grandfather." Liu Xing said a few words politely, and then began to focus, "I am your grandfather. I am a loyal book fan who admires him very much, but unfortunately, the old man has already returned, so it is really a pity that I could not have a long talk with him."

Lu Yuxin frowned slightly, and asked softly, "Mr. Liu, do you really want to know about my grandfather's deeds?"

"Of course, I admire Mr. Lu's noble character."

"Why don't I take you to visit my grandfather's former residence. When will Mr. Liu be free?"

"It's free now!"

"Then I'll take you there now, take my car?"

"no problem."

After the discussion, Liu Xing got up immediately, closed the bookstore, sat on Lu Yuxin's Tianma trolley, and was going to visit Lu Yingqin's former residence.

Lu Yingqin is a descendant of the Lu family, and the ancestors of the Lu family are the most famous coffin craftsmen in Chinese history.Liu Xing is now obsessed with "Notes on the Tomb of the Book", and needs to learn more about the coffin maker. The Lu family is undoubtedly the best place to provide these materials.

"Mr. Liu, I'm going to drive, can you post the seat belt?"

"Ok."

After sitting in the Tianma car, Liu Xing was a little excited, because this car was worth more than 800 million, extremely luxurious, and there were very few people in Tianhai City who were qualified to ride in this kind of car.

Liu Xing and Lu Yuxin left Fiction Street together in the Tianma trolley and went to Lu Yingqin's former residence.

After arriving, just as Liu Xing expected, he saw a lot of information about the book coffin maker, and also visited an underground coffin storehouse in Lu's house.

It was only then that Liu Xing discovered that the book coffins of the Lu family were not only used to store books, but also to make wine.The wine cellar of Lu's wine was remodeled from the coffin of Lu's book.

Led by Lu Yuxin, Liu Xing visited Lu Yingqin's former residence for a whole day and learned a lot about the coffin maker.Lu Yingqin himself is a coffin maker, but modern society no longer needs this kind of profession, so he used his novels to entrust his talents.

After nightfall, at the invitation of Lu Yuxin, Liu Xing had dinner at her house, and talked about the deeds of many coffin craftsmen in the history of the Lu family.

At around nine o'clock in the evening, Liu Xing bid farewell to Lu Yuxin. Before leaving, Lu Yuxin gave him a bottle of Lu's 100-year-old wine.

With the old wine, Liu Xing returned to Mingxing Hotel. When he entered the lobby, he found Liu's father and Liu's mother watching a 65-inch LCD TV.

"Dad, this bottle of wine is a tribute to you." Liu Xing stepped forward and handed over the Lu family's old wine.

After receiving this bottle of wine, Father Liu's eyes were fixed: "Why are you spending money to buy things for me again? You are a real kid, you can't spend money like this." Looking carefully at the old wine in his hand, his face changed drastically, " Lu family 100-year-old wine limited edition? How much... how much does this cost?"

Father Liu was a little confused. The Lu family's 50-year-old wine is already very expensive, and a bottle costs tens of thousands of yuan.The bottle in front of me is a 100-year-old wine from the Lu family, and it is still a limited edition. There are only about 100 bottles in the whole country. The price of this bottle... I guess it can buy five Mingxing restaurants, right?
"Don't worry, I didn't buy this wine, it was given by someone else." Liu Xing explained.

"Give it to you?" Mother Liu looked puzzled, "Ah Xing, who gave you such a big gift?"

"It's Lu Yuxin, the general manager of Tianhai Lujia Wine Group."

"Lu Family Wine? General Manager?"

Before the two old men could react, Liu Xing had already gone upstairs alone. Liu's father and Liu's mother looked at each other, and then looked at the old wine in their hands. The manager got together?This young man's world is getting more and more difficult to understand...

……

Back in the room, Liu Xing immediately began to read "Book Tomb Notes".

Because he has a new harvest today.

Liu Xing has been unable to integrate into the role of coffin maker before, but after visiting Lu Yingqin's former residence today, he finally has a deeper understanding of this profession.

On the surface, the book coffin maker is just a person who makes book coffins, but the situation is more than that simple.

Book coffins are equipment used to protect books and classics during times of war, and book coffin craftsmen undertake the historical mission of protecting books.

They are not only craftsmen, but also the last guardians of Chinese civilization classics!
It is the existence of this kind of occupation that has preserved a large number of books in China, where wars are frequent.

In the history of China, all the great book coffin craftsmen have a strong sense of historical mission. They want to make the best book coffins, preserve the civilization of human history, and leave the best books to future generations. For future generations.

This is the professionalism of the book coffin maker!

The protagonist of "Book Tomb Notes" is such a book coffin maker. In order to protect the books of the Ma family, he did not hesitate to fight against the emperor at that time. He sacrificed his life to make book coffins and buried them in eight book tombs.

Before that, when Liu Xing was reading "Notes on the Tomb of the Book", he didn't understand these behaviors of the protagonist at all, and he didn't have a sense of substitution, so he still couldn't reach the realm of "integration of human and calligraphy", and he was always a little bit away from being engrossed.

And this last bit, Liu Xing found it at Lu's house today!
