Avenue Secret

Chapter 108 The Bookstore (Fourth Change)

"Ah, I'm sorry, I'm wrong." The clerk adjusted her glasses: "It seems that you are indeed a first-time visitor, so I want to tell you about the rules of the bookstore, and please abide by them."

Liu Li said: "Please."

"As a first-time guest, you can buy a book for free. When you touch the cover of the book, you can perceive an excerpt or basic information of the book, but you can't open it. Once you open it, you have to buy it."

Liu Li said: "This is no problem, what else?"

"No more." The clerk said: "You can start choosing books."

Weird... Liu Li slandered.

The Unnamed Bookstore is indeed a strange place, its existence alone is enough to be regarded as an urban ghost story.

Liu Li walked among the bookshelves. The titles of each book were different, and there seemed to be no identical books here:
Interpretation of Ancient Taoist Philosophy

"Metaphors of the Week"

"Polluted Book"

……

Liu Li touched "Explanation of Ancient Taoist Philosophy" casually, and a meaning immediately popped up in his mind.

"...the so-called dual cultivation of life and soul, cultivating nature is Zhou Gong's dream of a butterfly, seeking to break out of the cocoon, cultivating life means tempering the cocoon shell, pursuing the golden stone of life, which is the highest idea of ​​Taoism and an unattainable ideal."

Liu Li was feeling it seriously, but the meaning was interrupted.

"The bottom is gone?" Liu Li asked subconsciously.

"You have to buy it before you can read the contents of the book. Many books can only be touched by excerpts." The clerk reminded.

Liu Li held back his curiosity and did not choose to buy this book. It looked like an academic book, not a scripture or practice scripture. Liu Li thought it had no effect on improving strength.

He put his hand on the "Book of Contamination" again, and another meaning came:
"...The human body and soul are the most holy and pure, because they are perfect and short-lived, any arrogant person who wants to ascend upwards and seek a long life must make a choice: either to degenerate the soul or to corrupt the body. "

Sensing this piece of information, Liu Li instinctively frowned, feeling that the book was a bit strange, and the content in it seemed to explain some kind of evil practice.

After walking a few more steps, Liu Li looked at the various books on the bookshelf, and chose another one with a name that was pleasing to the eye.

This book is called "Prophecy", Liu Li guessed that it might talk about some kind of divination.

"...The wise men who peep into the future know how to answer metaphors with metaphors, and use known connections to describe unknown connections, so as to avoid mentioning it directly. There must be a reason behind this, but the reason can only be answered with metaphors: The shy princess of Destiny is an evil and cruel tyrant who doesn't like people spying on her and her things."

What is this with what?
For the first time, Liu Li discovered that he felt the meaning, but also couldn't understand it. Can you speak human language?

Liu Li continued to read one by one, feeling the implication above, and some books, when touching the books, what he got was not an excerpt, but a certain existence's evaluation of the books.

"Exploring the Super Sense": The author re-examines the super sense from the perspective of psychology and endocrinology. The perspective is very novel, and explains how the mental state of super sense affects the real body through the nervous system. It is worthy of mysticism and Science-based people buy reading.

"The Secret of Kaiyang Star": the leadership technique of organizing soldiers, the provocation technique of enraging the enemy, the battle cry of bloody courage, the techniques of using daggers, spears, bows and arrows, throwing guns, assault rifles or nuclear missiles, all of them are essentially similar Where: The star of war that shines in the sky.This book introduces the secret power of Kaiyang Star in a simple and simple way, suitable for the mysterious people who want to take the road of fighting to learn.

Feeling the different connotations conveyed by many books, Liu Li suddenly felt a little uncomfortable and covered his forehead.

"Sir, please don't endlessly perceive the meaning of books, it will be harmful to your astral body." The clerk reminded: "Just choose what you are interested in."

"Uh..." Liu Li asked, "Do you have any recommendations?"

"If you want, I recommend this one." She pointed to a book on the high shelf next to her, and Liu Li saw the title "Seven Signs from Yunji".

"It looks like a Taoist classic." Liu Li thought to himself, walked over, touched the cover of the book, and a meaning flooded into his mind:
"...The Taoist is the ultimate truth of nothingness; the magician is the mysterious trick of change..."

Liu Li put down his hand and shook his head, he instinctively felt that this book was not suitable for him.

"It seems to be some kind of root method similar to the "Shang Yi Jing". I have the "Shang Yi Jing", so I don't need this." Liu Li thought.

Liu Li asked: "Is there anything else? I don't think this book is suitable for me."

"Well..." The clerk thought deeply, and said, "You can also learn languages. Look, on the bookshelves here, there are "Celtic, Gaelic, Briton and Welsh", "Anglo", " Old Norse", "Ancient Chinese"..."

Liu Li said: "I feel that adding an unpopular language will not help me much. Are there any books on spells?"

"You're really picky." The clerk seemed a little dissatisfied: "You don't listen to suggestions, you can choose for yourself!"

What a cool attitude!

Liu Li thought, forget it, the first book selection is also free, free stuff, don't get angry with her.

Liu Li didn't find the magic book he wanted, so he followed his intuition and took "Explanation of Ancient Taoist Philosophy". He felt that this was the first book he chose to touch when he came into the bookstore. Perhaps his inner instinct told him, This book should be chosen.

After taking the book from the shelf, Liu Li asked, "Is this all right?"

"In the future, if you have a chance, you can still come to our bookstore as a customer." said the lady clerk.

"I have another question." Liu Li asked: "Why do you think I'm a second-time customer? It's because I found this place through an address clue?"

"Ah, this...it's not." The clerk said, "It's because you practiced a scripture that came out of our store. So I feel a familiar atmosphere."

"Scripture?" Liu Li frowned, "Which one?"

"I can't remember." The clerk said: "Our bookstore has sold so many scriptures, which one is it... Let me think about it."

She suddenly moved closer to Liu Li's body and sniffed.

"The smell of seeds and plants, the salty smell of the sea of ​​bitterness, the light of candles... That should be the nameless ancient Taoist scripture. I am deeply impressed by it. One of the top Taoist scriptures in this store.”

Liu Li was stunned when he heard this.

"The one who bought it was a foreigner?" Liu Li asked.

The clerk said: "I am obliged to keep the customer's privacy confidential."

Liu Li thought for a moment, then said eagerly: "Please tell me, this is very important to me, the person who bought the scriptures may be my lost relative!"

The clerk said: "Then tell me about one of your relatives first."

Liu Li thought for a while and said: "His name is Taylor, he is a distant relative of mine. I have a very close correspondence with him. He often writes to me when he is abroad, telling about his dream of being trapped in a mental hospital... ..."

The clerk interrupted Liu Li: "Is this Taylor you're talking about male or female?"

Liu Li wondered if there was anything else to ask, and he said, "Of course it's a man."

The clerk said: "This relative of yours has nothing to do with the customer who bought the aisle, and I will not tell you any more relevant information. Please leave."

Liu Li was still asking, everything around him disappeared, like a hallucination, Liu Li was standing on the street, holding only the "Interpretation of Ancient Taoist Philosophy" in his hand.
