Lin Yi's unintentional move attracted everyone's cheers. Especially those fans who came to the Temple of Wealth to pilgrimage to the Temple of Wealth were even more delighted.

For them, hearing about Lin Yi's heroic deeds at the Luoyang Antiques Conference and the Jinling Woods Conference, the scholarly spirit, the swaying spirit, the swaying stones, and the shock of Jinling, all of which make people yearn for.

Amid the applause, a book stall owner who came to set up a stall in the Temple of Fortune from afar came to Lin Yi and held a book in his hand and said to Lin Yi: "I have a handwritten copy here. I have been put on this stall for a long time, but no one cares about it. I wonder if you can help me to see if it is a good thing, so as not to be laughed at by some ignorant people. I took a fake to sell it for a high price."

It turned out that the owner of this book stall came from Zhejiang. I heard that the antique market of Nandu Caishen Temple was very prosperous, so I brought a book that I had in my box. I wanted to rely on the market to be prosperous and sell it at a high price. Who would have thought that many people here didn’t know the goods and insisted that their book was fake or fake. Even this kind of book wanted to sell for 30,000 yuan. Let’s go to dream.

The book stall owner felt very wronged. If the price is high and no one can afford the price, it would be fine, but if he said that his book was fake, it would be unappreciable. Therefore, he didn't care about his face. Seeing Lin Yi, a famous person in the book collection industry, he hurriedly stood up and asked him to help him correct his name.

Lin Yi didn't expect to encounter such trouble. Seeing that the book stall owner was red with his eyes, he was almost crying. As the saying goes, a man would not cry easily, which shows that he was really wronged.

So he took a look at the book, and couldn't help but smile. No wonder people would say that this was a fake book, a cheating product. It was a handwritten copy, line-bound, about 16 books, and the title of the book clearly read: "The Secret of Cheng Zongyou, the Single Sword of the Ming Dynasty".

...

If a beggar on the way told you that the task of maintaining world peace will be given to you, "This secret book of "The Tathagata Palm" is a priceless treasure. I think it is destined to be with you, so I will collect you ten dollars and teach you." Will you be moved by Lin Yi, like many people, after watching the movie, I have been looking forward to this kind of "Kung Fu"-style plot in front of me many times and hit me. God knows that the person holding the Tathagata Palm" in front of me is not Hong Qigong, and he is not the second Guo Jing.

Of course, these are all beautiful yy. "Tathagata's Palm" is not necessarily a real thing, but there are "secrets" of martial arts in history, and there are many.

Since Lin Yi fell in love with ancient books, he has read it carefully. Therefore, he clearly knew that in the Ming Dynasty, the most powerful martial arts master was not Dongfang Bubai who learned the "Sunflower Book", but Qi Jiguang, the first martial arts master in the Ming Dynasty.

Needless to say, many people know that he was a hero of the anti-Japanese war in the Ming Dynasty, but at the same time, he was a classical martial artist with outstanding achievements. In layman's terms, he not only had personal skills, but also knew how to train troops, but also knew how to arrange troops and arrange troops and respond to the situation. He was a rare general in Chinese history.

Qi Jiguang summarized the successful experience of military training and anti-Japanese war in western Zhejiang in his early years and wrote eighteen volumes of "Ji Xiao New Book". The initial version talked about the content of leading troops to the selection of generals to the selection of weapons and the use of formations. It is a typical military book. However, the 14th chapter of "The Essence of Boxing Jing" is a classic Ming Dynasty martial arts masterpiece.

To say it is classic, the first thing is to use pictures and texts. Of course, there are also texts in previous martial arts documents, and there are also images that represent martial arts movements alone. Senior Northwest martial arts scholars have tried to restore the form of "Dunhuang Fist" through the contents of the murals of the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang, but the supporting map has never appeared. The ancients did not record videos, so in terms of martial arts, the importance of accurate images is self-evident.

Although Qi Jiguang personally understands the categories of kung fu, he does not attach much importance to his personal martial arts. As he said at the beginning of the chapter "The Fist Jing Jie Yao": personal boxing is just used to exercise muscles and bones, "it seems to be unpredictable to the skills of war" and does not play a decisive role in war. This view is more sober and objective than the martial artists in the world that day. In the military world in the cold weapon era, the so-called personal martial arts skills are so strong that one can block a hundred, which is just a rhetorical method - how can it be "blocked a hundred"! After serving the Great Wall to resist Mongolia, Qi Jiguang revised the "New Book of Ji Xiao" and left a fourteen-volume book. The most important of them is to delete this famous martial arts chapter "The Fist Jing Jie Yao" because that article is not very helpful to military warfare. This is the vision of a great military strategist.

The one who followed Qi Jiguang to become the number one person in the Ming Dynasty martial arts world was Cheng Zongyou, a native of Huizhou in the late Ming Dynasty.

Cheng Wan was like Qi Jiguang and also visited famous teachers. He combined his four martial arts works, "Shaolin Sticking Methods", "Secret of the Heart", "Selected Long Guns", and "Selected Single Sword Methods", and named it "Farming and Remaining Techniques" when published. The general idea is that these skills are all skills in farming, and a light and gentle smell. In modern times, Zhou Youhua, a native of Wuxing, Zhejiang, reprinted the collection version and renamed it "The Four Books of National Arts".

Cheng Zongyou's "Single Sword Method" is used to draw Japanese single swords. The knife is about three feet and eight inches long and one foot and two inches long. It is a weapon that ordinary people don't think is very useful today, but it was the most advanced tactic at that time. However, there is indeed a problem with the sword being too long, so the first move of Cheng Zongyou's "Single Sword Method" is "You and I draw the sword style", which means you pull my sword and I pull yours. Although it is reasonable, it has an inexplicable sense of joy.

This book of swordsmanship is not very numerous, but it has influenced many martial arts practitioners. Even in modern fantasy novels, Master Huang Yi's "Looking for Qin", Xiang Shaolong used the scene of holding a knife with both hands and fighting against the evil spirits, which borrowed Cheng Zongyou's practical theory of "single sword technique".

...

At this moment, Lin Yi looked at the handwritten copy of "The Secret of Cheng Zongyou's Single Sword of the Ming Dynasty", and understood why so many book buyers would say that this was a "fake".

It seems that people are too influenced by movies. Whenever they hear words like "Martial Arts and Kung Fu secrets", their first reaction is fake, but they don't know that "Cheng Zongyou"'s single-knife technique does exist in history. Unlike those martial arts kung fu movies, "Sunflower Book" and "Nine Yin Scriptures" are all illusory.

Not to mention anything else, in modern times, in the 20th year of the Republic of China, Dadong Bookstore published the title of Ma Gongyu's book, edited by Cheng Zongyou, "Only Sword Methods and Pictures". The market price of this book is about 1,600 yuan, and it is also a rare book in martial arts.

Looking at the handwritten manuscript in front of me, there is no clear copying date, but judging from the paper and handwriting, it should belong to the late Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty.

Why? Because there is a word "Xuan" to avoid taboos.

As long as you read Jin Yong's "The Deer and the Cauldron", many people will know that Kangxi called Xuanye and Wei Xiaobao called him "Xiao Xuanzi". Therefore, in the years after Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty, in order to avoid the word "Xuan" by Kangxi, they used missing strokes or direct homophonic words, and used false words to replace them. This has also become a common method to identify the age of books in the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty.

Since the copying time of this book was roughly judged, Lin Yi looked at the specific content again, compared it with the Republic of China version of "Single Sword and Picture Talk", and then he found out the approximate price of this book.

Lin Yi turned around and said to the owner of the book stall, "You are right, it is a hand-written old book, but the price of 30,000 yuan is a bit high. First, it is not copied by a celebrity, and there is no signature or signature. Second, the copying of the handwriting is not the most popular style of the Pavilion in the Qing Dynasty. The handwriting is a bit messy, which shows that it is not the style of everyone. Third, the most precious secrets of this type must be to achieve both pictures and texts, and the drawings inside are a bit too ordinary.

Therefore, the maximum value of this book is at most about 8,000 yuan. If it is more, you have to consider it carefully. But this is definitely an ancient manuscript, not a so-called fake.

Lin Yi's comment made the book stall owner turn his worries into joy, saying that he didn't plan to bid 30,000 at the beginning, but he was so angry that those who didn't know the goods were talking nonsense, and then he called for a high price. Now that he has been identified by Lin's friend, it is enough to prove the actual value of the book, and he is also satisfied.

After saying this, the book stall owner got a brush from somewhere, hoping that Lin Yi could write the four big words "Lin Yi's identification" on this handwritten manuscript.

Lin Yi was really unwilling to use his handwriting to destroy the original elegance of the book, but he couldn't stand the pleading of the book stall owner, so he had to pick up his pen and write "Lin Yi's identification" on the title page. It was a line of words.

After getting Lin Yi's calligraphy, the book stall owner was ecstatic. On the spot, the book stall owner expressed his great gratitude to Lin Yi.

Because Lin Yi, the "smart eyes" who helped to make an appraisal, several collectors soon expressed their kind intention to buy books to the boss, hoping to buy this martial arts secret book with Lin Yi's inscription for ten thousand yuan.

The book stall owner smiled. This was identified by a friend Lin, and the title was his calligraphy. Even if I hide it at home as a treasure, I won’t sell it!

Lin Yi was even more worried about this. Unexpectedly, his inscription not only did not destroy the value of the book, but instead helped him appreciate.

...

Seeing that Lin Yi was so kind, some Tao Shuke customers who liked Taobao at this time had even plucked up the courage to ask Lin Yi about the tricks of "book stall Taobao".

Lin Yi smiled slightly and replied: "Learn more and read more. As long as you like books, you will sooner or later be like me."

Among these people, there are many ancient book lovers. For them, Lin Yi has two huge ancient book museums in Jinling, one is Jiang Qingping Ancient Book Museum and the other is Lu Ancient Book Museum.

The two museums have a huge collection of books, all of which are under the control of Lin Yi. It is said that in the current ancient book world, Lin Yi is already the undisputed sixth-grade collector and the youngest collector.

What is the concept of a sixth-grade collector?

It is very vague for many people who are not professional in book collection, but for those great book collectors and book lovers, this sixth grade represents your status in the ancient book world and your ability in the collector world.

The sixth grade is a dividing line.

It is said that anyone who can reach the sixth rank in the ancient book world may do it in the future---

I am a farmer in the morning and I will reach the emperor's hall in the evening!

Think about it, what would be like.
Chapter completed!
