Chapter 9 Forbidden Books

"A new batch of books is added, a new batch of books is added! Let's take a look--"

The bustling Nan City was bustling with people. The two continued to wander around, and followed the lazy shouts of the owner of the book stall from time to time, and came to the book stall.

A row of paper books are placed in a wooden bookshelves. The middle-aged boss sits behind the desk next to him, holding a pen in his hand and writing something. The paper sign standing on the table states that the book stall also does business such as writing letters and naming others.

Xin Lie likes reading. He often remembers a sentence he knew when he was in elementary school, "Read a book and increase his wisdom." On the contrary, if he doesn't eat, he will be hungry, if he doesn't read, he will be stupid, and stupid people can't do anything well. There is no chance to see books in Gude Town. Now a lot of books are in front of him. He stopped and said, "Captain, read books." Then he walked towards the bookshelf with interest.

Baru followed with his ears. Jiuzhou had strict management of books. Dongrao was the same. All books must be reviewed by the government first, and then passed by the bookstore and book club that was run by famous families before they could be put on the market and circulated. If you publish a book privately, it would be a serious crime to behead you.

Most of the books in this bookstore are farming books that teach people to farm and grow fruits, or books that popularize common sense in life, as well as quotations, etc. Baru picked up the "Qi's Aphorism" and looked around for a few times. He muttered in his heart, "Baru, nonsense..." and lost interest, put it back, and looked around with his hands around with his chest.

"Young man, are you buying books?" The boss's tone was a little impatient. The brass round glasses were shelved on the bridge of the flat nose, and his eyes were not good, which clearly showed that Xin Lie was disliked.

Real customers have been to school; or town mayors, township heads, etc. who come to Juyan to travel around, buy a farm book and teach villagers. They don’t just spend money on books with just a mud leg. This kid is dressed in shabby clothes and is confused. He can tell at a glance that he is a country bumpkin who has just entered the city. He probably doesn’t even know a few big words, and he also learns to read books! Isn’t he afraid of dirtying the books and getting them out of the way, so do he ask him to compensate?

The boss waved his hand again and drove him away, "If you don't buy it, just leave, what are you going to go!"

"I'll buy it if I like it." Xin Lie's tone was neither humble nor arrogant. Although he was very stingy, he was not buying books. After reading a few books, he read them with relish, whether it was the twenty-four solar terms in the farm books or the principles in the collection of quotations. However, he wanted to understand the mysterious world of warriors, so he asked: "Boss, are there any books about introducing warriors... boxing techniques?"

"Warrior—?Fisting—?" The boss dragged his voice, his shoehorn's face was full of funnyness, and his glasses were almost falling out of his nose. He suddenly slapped the table and shouted, "Let's go, don't get in the way of doing business, go!"

Xin Lie raised his eyebrows in confusion and refused to leave for a moment. The boss stared at him and said in a stern voice: "Get out, I won't do your business!"

"Hahaha!" Baru laughed out loud, pulling Xin Lie away without nonsense. If he could set up a book stall in Nanshi, the boss must have a backer. He didn't want to cause trouble and whispered to Xin Lie: "Have you forgotten my words so quickly? You can't buy books about those things at the market book stall, do you understand?"

"I don't understand." Xin Lie shook his head, really unable to understand why civilians cannot access books about warriors? Is it not possible to even have some legends of deeds? He was a little disappointed and remembered what General Manager Keno had said earlier: "The giant rock is a hundred times more dangerous and indifferent than Goode, so be careful in everything."

Baru shrugged, "I don't understand, I'm just a rough man." He said mysteriously, "If you want to read books, we have some books on the boat." Xin Lie's eyes lit up immediately: "Is that true?" Seeing him surprised, Baru laughed with satisfaction: "Of course, there are still many things on the boat that you don't know."

...

The night is like water, and a bright moon reflects on the sea, rippling with the microwave. The huge rock port is quiet, and the statue of a warrior holding the starry sky quietly guards the many ships anchored on the shore.

Step by step, walk by step--

After a series of footsteps, there was a heavy sound of opening the door. Baru took Xin Lie into the room in the stern cabin. He pried open a wooden board to reveal a downward staircase, and then walked with an oil lamp. Xin Lie stayed on the boat for more than half a month, and naturally he had never set foot in this secret place.

"It's here!" Baru hung the oil lamp on the wall, and the jumping fire illuminated the dim light in this hiding room. Ignoring the dust on his face, Xin Lie looked around and saw rows of wooden racks and wooden boxes piled around, as if there were a lot of things hidden, maybe it was smuggled goods? Baru took the initiative to explain and smiled: "It's all shameful things."

Xin Lie nodded, walked a few steps and saw a red-painted weapon holder, but there were no weapons on it. A skeleton skeleton was paralyzed beside the weapon holder, and a large piece of the skull was missing. It was obviously cut by a blunt weapon. He couldn't help but stand up and he became alert and said, "Captain, is this?"

"He is my enemy. I didn't throw him into the sea to feed the fish, just to kick him a few times." Before he finished speaking, Baru, who was walking over, kicked the skeleton and filled the entire hiding room with a crack. The atmosphere was a bit weird, and Xin Lie didn't know what to say. Baru gave him a look of anger: "Don't look at me like this, see my scar? Yes, it was him who cut it... This bitch killed several of my brothers."

Under the dim light, Baru's scar seemed to be deepened: "That's a very long story..." He suddenly laughed: "Haha, let's not talk about it! This is how I am. If you treat me well, I will treat you well; if you treat me badly, I will treat you badly! Look, the book is there."

Sure enough, there was a bookshelves in the bottom, with books placed on it, which were more than the book stalls in Nanan City, and there were also several pampered scrolls and bamboo slips, which seemed very precious.

When Xin Lie was happy when he saw the hunt, he immediately stepped up and read it quickly. There were navigation logs and astronomical books introducing Yuansu Zhuxing, all of which were knowledge he had longed for, and it was like a treasure! He saw another book "The Thirty-Six Styles of Secret Play" and thought it was a military book about fighting. He was even more excited. When he opened it, he was stunned. After reading the pages with pictures and texts, his ears were already hot and red, and he quietly put the book back.

"Why, isn't it good?" Baru shook his eyes jokingly. Seeing Xin Lie laughing, he picked up a copy of "The Golden Gun Is Not Falling" and he couldn't help laughing: "That's a treasured book! Don't believe it, it's quite effective!"

"Captain, you know I don't want to read this kind of book." Xin Lie took a deep breath helplessly, put the book back, looking at the titles of the book. Except for the top row, all of the books on the bookshelf were like this kind of book.

Baru shook his ponytail and said happily: "What's wrong with these books? They are all **, you can't buy them in the market, but I spent a lot of effort to collect them." He spread his hands and said: "Are you eighteen years old this year? I haven't even seen a woman's body. This is really fucking bad luck! Do you know how good it feels to fuck a woman? It's like, like... it's just good anyway! You should try it."

Xin Lie frowned and said seriously: "Captain, I can do it, but not now, not in a brothel..."

"Okay, okay, I know you have ambition!" Baru was rejected again without any concern, but he praised in his heart. This boy was determined and was not something that could be done by those snatchers. He nodded and said, "Look at the bottom of the bookshelf, there may be the books you want."

When he squatted down and saw only a few books such as "Dongrao Weapons Illustrations", Xin Lie was very excited on the one hand, but felt wronged for them on the other hand, and was actually placed at the bottom. Moreover, the books were covered with a thick layer of dust, and it seemed that no one had read them after they were bought.

Which of these books must be carefully read?

At this time, a broken book came into my eyes. I think it was because it was damp and dry. Its paper pages were wrinkled and the handwritten handwriting was blurred. There was a piece in the east and a little bit on the west side. Perhaps it was bitten by a borer, and it was better as if it was touched by a hand and it would break into a pile of dust.

However, it is precisely such a broken book that exudes a great attraction, as if calling him. Xin Lie picked it up without thinking, got up and used the dark light and opened his eyes to see clearly the dizzy title: "Seven Books of Wu Jing"

"Slow down, this book? This is **... This is ** in **!"

Baru closed his eyes and pressed Xin Lie heavily to open its hand. The boy's eyes were so vicious that he grabbed the fragment! Many years ago, he was in the remote northern town of Heli in Dongrao. When he was searching for **, he accidentally received it. He was not interested in its contents and couldn't understand it very much. But he felt a pity to throw it away, so he kept putting it here to eat dust.

Despite this, he remembered the fragment of the "Seven Books of the Martial Arts" because it was the most dangerous book on the entire bookshelves and the entire ship. There are also differences in importance. Those who were about women were not printed because of their indifference and morality, and they were not killed by sin; and this book... was undoubtedly beheaded.

"The ** in **?" Xin Lie looked at the vague title again. Not only did he not retreat, he had a greater mind to open it.

Baru nodded and said, "The government does not allow civilians to read this kind of books, this kind of books! The viewer dies." Xin Lie asked, "Why?" Baru's serious face added a hint of self-deprecation: "I don't know, but I know that a woman with big breasts and brains is far easier to deal with than a woman with brains with brains. This book will turn a brainless sheep into a brain-filled fox. What do you think?"

"If you really just want to be an ordinary civilian, it's best not to open it; I don't know the rules among warriors, what warriors can see, and what warriors can't see... But in one sentence, this is the real **."

The speech was very serious, but the hand he pressed up was lifted up hard. Seeing Xin Lie's appearance without hesitation, Baru laughed a few times: "You are so brave, look!"

The messy thoughts quickly dissipated, and the entire storage room became quiet. Only a heart beat excitedly was heard. Xin Lie opened the "Seven Books of Wu Jing" in his hand, and saw that the first line of the opening line read:

"Soldiers are the devil's way"
