When the whistle of the giant steam ship at the wharf came from far away, the porters started to work, and the vegetable vendors from the suburban towns rushed into the city, all kinds of early morning vendors opened with steam, and the door panels of the shops on the vegetable market street were opened Xian County woke up from the heavy night, and the residents started a new day.
The young owner of Chengyou Bookstore woke up early this morning, and he may have stayed up all night.
However, he was still full of energy. First, he wiped the shop clean with a rag, and then neatly placed several sets of girl pictorials and novel books collected on the Cedar yesterday in the most conspicuous positions.
He also placed several sets of gaudy and banned books such as "Jade House Spring" and "Nine-Tailed Turtle" in a secret corner under the counter.
This thing can only be delivered if a real customer comes.
Regardless of whether it is in the previous life or here, the rules are the same, Tao Qian's door is clear.
After the arrangement was complete, Tao Qian clapped his hands and smiled with satisfaction.
"Qi Huo, there must be a lot of silver dollars in the account today."
After finishing speaking triumphantly, Tao Qian smelled the aroma coming from the corner of the street, heyed, and turned to go out.
Not long after, he came back with a big bowl of wontons, sprinkled with a pile of spicy peppers, he stirred it up with a spoon, and started to eat it wheezing.
After eating, he returned the bowl to the shopkeeper, and Tao Qian turned back to the counter.
?Take out a thick book called "The History of Longevity", put it on the counter, open it and read it.
Obviously, Tao Qian is really very cute.
He is not only a newcomer in the practice world, but also an out-and-out newcomer to this world.
In order to avoid embarrassing mistakes in the future, even though he has two original memories, Tao Qian still plans to read the history of this world in his spare time.
"As a real scumbag, I actually prefer to go hunting for treasures rather than studying."
"My weird extraordinary perception ability can be used as [Supernatural Radar]. Although the range is limited, the probability of success is almost 100%."
"The most suitable place for me to play is naturally the trading market in the cultivation world. According to the knowledge imparted by Wu Ming and Lin Xiaohua, there are many such places, but it is not so easy to get admission tickets."
"However, at this stage, I can still try my luck in places like 'Bookstore' and 'Temple Fair'."
"Why don't you try it when you have time today?"
When a few thoughts fell, Tao Qian also officially began to read the New World History.
Cooperating with the two memories in my mind, I soon had some understanding of the history of this world.
What he cares most about is naturally the historical records related to weirdness and practice.
What surprised Tao Qian was that there were quite a few descriptions in this regard.
According to historical records, the history of this land can be roughly divided into several stages:
In ancient times, when human beings were born, they struggled to survive among many demons, ghosts, gods and beasts, and strange signs of the sky.
In ancient times, human beings gradually rose up, and some human beings gained power from those indescribable things, and at the same time they no longer feared them, but began to backfire and erode strange things in reverse. During the process, human beings also split, and super wars began to appear one after another, each of which swept the earth with great momentum, composing heroic epics one after another.
Until the Middle Ages, human beings continued to multiply and civil wars continued. The strange thing is that instead of declining because of this, human beings have become stronger and stronger, and even gradually defeated many strange things that occupied the land of China, achieved a complete victory, and completely entered the human era.
After that, it is the ancient times.
There is actually not much to say at this stage, but there is so much to say.
"The ancient period is actually the entire history of the Celestial Dynasty of Longevity."
"This dynasty was established at the end of the Middle Ages. It was established by an emperor with great military exploits. He swept Liuhe, annexed all directions, and completely ended the rule of weird things."
"After more than two thousand years, although there are still various chaos, wars, uprisings, and natural disasters in this land the ruling group has also continued to change. This aspect is similar to the change of dynasties in the previous life, but it is incredible that for more than two thousand years, Every time there is a new ruler who overthrows the predecessor, they all choose to continue the four characters of [Longevity Heavenly Dynasty]."
"In other words, this dynasty has actually lasted for more than 2,000 years, and it remains so until now."
Tao Qian, who had received nine years of compulsory education in his previous life, couldn't hide his surprise at this moment.
It's too normal. In his previous life, he knew Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing, and he also knew that major events in the world must be united for a long time and divided for a long time.
But I have never heard of a generation of feudal dynasty that can last for more than two thousand years.?Political structure.
Tao Qian is also familiar with this set, but in his previous life, if he wanted people to say this, he didn't need drinks, just a keyboard.
There may be some exaggeration inside and outside the words, but it is enough for Tao Qian to know the general structure of the Changsheng Dynasty in terms of economy, politics, military and so on.
Yuan Chen is a pedantic scholar after all, these are his weaknesses.
Although Tao Qian can search for newspapers and the like to make up for it, listening to the explanations of the local aboriginal businessmen is a better way.
However, when the two talked about it later, they seemed to touch on a certain topic, and there was a look of worry on their faces at the same time, and they each said:
"Boss Li, Tao Shusheng, you must have heard about the accident at the pier yesterday."
"Husbands eat their wives, sons sacrifice their flesh, fathers and sons kill each other, human beings turn into blood animals they are all evildoers. I heard that in recent days, demons and ghosts in various provinces, cities and counties have been particularly active, causing a lot of horrors. events, the lives of ordinary people have become more and more difficult."
"Who says it's not, this world is too bitter."
"However, I heard that the imperial court specially planned to build a new government office for these monsters, called [Forbidden Immortal Hall], and recruited all kinds of experts, as well as warriors from the army, to exterminate these monsters and immortals. .¡±
"If necessary, the yamen of various cities and counties can also apply for people from the Banxiantang to stay in the local area all year round."
Speaking of this, Jia Qiang, the owner of the pharmacy, who had obviously better sources of information, suddenly turned his head and looked outside the box door.
Seeing no one else, he "hush" to the two of them again.
Then, he revealed in a low voice:
"I'll give you some news, don't let it out for now."
"Actually, the masters of our Xunxian County have already applied to the higher-ups for the high-level and strong men of the Immortal Forbidden Hall to be stationed. Not only that, the county magistrate also asked the provincial capital to send a regiment of new-style troops to come over."
"It's not for the members of the Cao Gang who have practiced sorcery, but for the demon army!"
"Hiss"
When Jia Qiang uttered those three words, Tao Qian and Li Sanyu immediately showed surprise on their faces.
