Only after understanding the truth of the matter can Lin Yi really understand.

Warriors hide their weaknesses because of the times.

A hero is declining because of the times.

Martial arts culture is a culture that is gradually disappearing. Martial arts novels that have accompanied me through the years have become like antiques, becoming "collections" that people are competing for and becoming history.

Seeing Deng Changbo drinking heavily, Lin Yi felt that he might be able to do something, so he smiled and said, "It has been so long before he knew it. Thank you for the hospitality... In fact, in addition to visiting the martial arts culture exhibition today, I also want to buy some good martial arts books. I wonder if it is for sale here?"

After hearing what Lin Yi said, the shop owner Deng Changbo was stunned and said, "Friend, you shouldn't be pitiful to me, right? I saw that I was unable to pay the rent, so I said such things."

In fact, Lin Yi did have this intention, but he still said: "How could it be? I was born to like to buy old books and hide old books. I bought a lot of old books when I came to Taiwan... You see, these were all bought before,..." Lin Yiliang bought the records, picture albums, and the new literature "Try Collection" for them to show, "So you don't have to have any burden, just tell me if there are any books sold."

Seeing that Lin Yi had indeed bought a lot of old books, Deng Changbo laughed and said, "You are asking this question well. Since I run a bookstore, of course there are books to sell. But brother, let me tell you first, most of these books are collected by myself, and I only sell some copies. If you like, you can choose some, but the price may be a little more expensive, so you still have to be mentally prepared."

Lin Yi smiled and said, "Let's take a look at the goods first. If possible, the price is slightly higher, I can afford it."

"Good! You mainlanders are more than happy, I'll come here!" Seeing that there is really business to do, Deng Changbo immediately became happy as soon as he solved his urgent needs.

Here, Xiong Yaodong accompanied Lin Yi to continue drinking. Lin Yi had a limited alcohol tolerance. After drinking a few more drinks, he stopped drinking. At this time, Deng Changbo also took out the Hong Kong and Taiwan copies of martial arts books he had collected and let him read them one by one.

When Lin Yi saw that his appearance was basically perfect, his version was very old, and there were even from the fifties and sixties.

The reason why Lin Yi collected martial arts was because he had read it before, which was a memory. Unlike collecting rare ancient books, it was a business. So he didn't shoot these martial arts books at once, but chose some, and then told Deng Changbo that I don't bring much Taiwan dollars, so I'd better settle it in RMB.

Then Deng Changbo said, this is no problem, you don’t know that the current RMB is a hard currency, and it is commonly used in Taiwan.

When Lin Yi heard this, he felt the country's strength for the first time and could eat the currency everywhere.

One buy and one sell, both of them carefully took a look. Lin Yi selected nine sets of books, namely--

Old version of martial arts novels, written by Ni Kuang, "Genius Killer", a complete volume, published by Wulin Publishing House in 1972, priced at RMB 800.

Old version of martial arts novels, written by Ni Kuang, "The Strong Wind of Thousand Miles", complete three volumes, published by Wulin Publishing House in 1971, priced at RMB 3,000.

Old version of martial arts novels, written by Gu Long, "Longjiang Flip", full collection of all the two and the two, published by Jingwu Publishing House, priced at RMB 1,000.

Old version of martial arts novel, written by Gu Long, "Meteor, Butterfly, Sword", three volumes, published by Wulin Publishing House in 1971, priced at RMB 5,800.

Old version of martial arts novel, written by Gu Long, "The Swordsman of the Passionate Sword", full of four volumes, published by Wulin Publishing House in 1978, priced at RMB 2,300.

Old version of martial arts novel, written by Gu Long, "The Proud Sword and Crazy Dragon", two volumes, published in 1972, priced at RMB 2,000.

Old version of martial arts novels, written by Gu Long, "The Story of Lu Xiaofeng - The Hercules Eagle", a complete volume, published by Zhongyuan Publishing House, priced at RMB 3,600.

...

These nine sets of books totaled 25,100 yuan. Deng Changbo generously gave an integer of 25,000 yuan, totaling about NT$117,000.

The martial arts novels selected by Lin Yi are mainly from Gu Long and Ni Kuang. He chose Gu Long because his martial arts novels have great collection value, so he chose Ni Kuang purely likes them. Because Lin Yi thinks that Ni Kuang's brain is not ordinary, and he can write science fiction, martial arts, and urban romance, which is really awesome.

Seeing that Lin Yi was about to pay and leave, Xiong Yaodong took the bookstore owner Deng Changbo to go there and didn't know what to say.

After a moment, Deng Changbo came over and wanted to speak but stopped.

Seeing this, Lin Yi smiled and said, "We have also drunk wine, and we are new friends. Just say anything you have."

Then Deng Changbo said, "That's right, Brother Lin. You heard that I'm still missing NT$300,000, but the books you selected are only 110,000, so I want to sell you another special collection. I wonder if you are interested?"

Lin Yi smiled and said with a smile: "If you have any good things, just take them out. If you like them, I will buy them at a high price."

Deng Changbo seemed a little embarrassed and said, "Actually, that...ah, I'll take out the things before talking about them." Then he hurried to pick up the things again.

Xiong Yaodong smiled at Lin Yi and said, "Brother Lin, don't laugh at him. Old Deng is just a stubborn guy. Look, the bookstore can't hold on anymore, and there are still many treasures that are reluctant to sell. So, he has something on hand, I think you will be interested."

Seeing what he said mysteriously, Lin Yi couldn't help but guess what kind of treasure it would be. At this moment, Deng Changbo came out, holding a book box in his hand, and handed it to Lin Yi, "Look at it, see if you like it."

Driven by curiosity, Lin Yi opened the book box. When he saw that it turned out to be an antique manuscript with five big characters written in a brush - "Fist Secret Book"!

"This is---" Lin Yi held the book and looked at Deng Changbo suspiciously.

Deng Changbo did not hide it and said, "This is the "Fist Secret Book" handwritten by my ancestors. It is our treasure. In our family, it has always been passed down to men but not women, and from inside but not outside."

"What do you mean... is this your family's martial arts secret book?" Lin Yi asked in surprise.

"Yes, I have kept this manuscript for decades, so I'll take it out and sell it today."

Lin Yi hurriedly said, "No, no! If Brother Deng, you need money, I can support you. Since this secret book is your family treasure, how can you sell it easily?"

Seeing Lin Yi’s sincerity and sincerity, Deng Changbo couldn’t help but be moved and said, “Brother Lin, you are a good person. I also understand your feelings. In fact, there are other reasons why I want to sell this secret book. First of all, I have no son and only one daughter, so this secret book cannot be passed on. Secondly, who is willing to study martial arts in this era? Especially in Taiwan, young people are too leisurely. Finally, staying in my hands is like burying it. It’s better to be taken to the mainland by you. Maybe it’s useful.” Deng Changbo sighed.

Xiong Yaodong next to him said, "What Lao Deng said is the truth. Their old Deng family's boxing can't be passed on in Taiwan, and it is also a burden in his hands. It's better to exchange it for money and save him. In addition, you can also bring it to the mainland through you. After all, there are many people there, and maybe you are interested in it, and you can pass on this boxing technique. Of course, we also see that you are good at being, so we made such a decision, otherwise we wouldn't sell it easily."

Lin Yi finally understood that the reason why he was willing to sell it to him was that he hoped that he could pass this secret to the mainland and no longer defend Taiwan.

Think about it, this is the sorrow of a generation of warriors in Taiwan.

The place is small, and there are few who like to learn martial arts. Only by enduring the pain and giving up can one gain a new life.

After understanding this, Lin Yi calmed down, not to mention that the old friend Lao Huang, he made, was a martial arts fanatic. This secret book could be given to him as a gift for a trip to Taiwan.

Thinking of this, Lin Yi couldn't help but open this book "The Secret Book of Boxing" to see what it was.
