After leaving these old bookstores, Lin Yi knew that these old bookstores in Chenghuang Temple are all high-quality "antique shops". They sell not books, but antiques. In terms of price, many people who like to buy old books are amazed.

The reason is, first, the boss may know the specific value of these books; second, the rent in the bookstore is too expensive, so he has to share it with the book price; third, most of the people outside the country who come to Chenghuang Temple to buy old books have the habit of slaughtering the child.

Lin Yi then visited the bookstores and book shops near Hulong Street. Most of the old books sold were very expensive, especially those online books, which became treasures, and were marked as expensive as a sky-high price, which made Lin Yi even more unaware of it.

Looking at the old books that had only bought half a bag, Lin Yi was a little excited. It seemed that he was about to return home in a desperate search for books in this Chenghuang Temple.

Just as Lin Yi was thinking about this, while walking forward, he saw a strange scene not far ahead - there were so many old book stalls!

How is that possible?

I heard that the old book stall in Chenghuang Temple has not been banned? For the sake of creating civilized attractions, what are these in front of you?

Lin Yi rubbed his eyes and finally saw everything in front of him clearly. Yes, it was really an old book stall.

Compared with the used bookstore, the used book stall is where Taobao is really located.

Lin Yi was almost dying of happiness, and he ran towards the old book stalls like a rushing under his feet.

Those old book stalls are all guerrilla types. When they see urban management or ban book stalls, they immediately push tricycles, or electric vehicles, or even roll up the bedding and run away.

Fight a shot and change the place.

No matter how powerful the urban management is, it cannot handle them.

In fact, they were helpless in doing this. They also knew that this would have a bad impact. They set up stalls in Chenghuang Temple to affect civilization construction, but they had to have a meal.

The urban management does not care about their meals, and the government does not care about their meals.

So good, they can only use this method to make a living.

To put it bluntly, most of these stalls are outsiders who have no skills or jobs. They go to the demolition area and go to the scrap station to find some old books and newspapers to buy and sell them, making some pitiful money. Of course, there are also some old people, who used to be used book dealers, but now they set up stalls here entirely because they don’t need to rent, and they occasionally earn more than shops, so they rely on setting up stalls here.

But no matter what, for Lin Yi, this is a great benefit. For people like him who are desperate to see the old book stall, this is simply a treasure.

Lin Yi walked over eagerly and then went to see the book stalls in sequence. The book stalls were attached to the Dragon Hunting Bridge. The architectural form of this bridge, like ordinary stone bridges, was bow-shaped, with clear water flowing under the bridge. The "street stalls" selling books on the bridge, therefore, became bow-shaped.

One by one, one by one, one by one, placed against the stone railings of the bridge, filled with new books and magazines, and those that could not be put down were piled up scattered underground.

Some street stalls have white cardboard inserted, and the cardboard has a price code written on it, three yuan per book, two yuan per book, and some are ten yuan and six books, which is indeed much cheaper than those used bookstores.

Just looking at those books is certainly "old books", but most of the old books reprinted in the 1990s and now are rare, like those in the 1970s and 1980s, let alone books and thread-bound books in the Republic of China. It can be seen that these book stalls sell popular books, unlike bookstores selling antiques.

Soon, Lin Yi took a fancy to a book, but it was "This Life" written by Hu Lancheng, published by China Social Sciences Press in 2003.

As a literary enthusiast, Lin Yi clearly knows how famous Hu Lancheng, a man who is entangled with Zhang Ailing, is. But what is even more famous is his character. Because of his outstanding talent and has always followed Wang Jingwei, he became the most famous cultural traitor in modern Chinese history. In 1940, he published the editorial "Difficult to War, Harmony Is Not Easy", advocating "Harmony is Not Easy" during the most difficult period of the Chinese War of Resistance Against Japan, and promoting "Harmony is Not Easy" for Wang Jingwei's sales.

The country's actions were shattered. In 1945, the Japanese army was defeated and surrendered. Hu Lancheng fled through Hong Kong and lived in Taiwan to teach in his later years. His literary talent had influenced some Taiwanese literati. He was forced to leave Taiwan because of his traitor background in 1976. He died in Tokyo of RB due to heart failure on July 25, 1981. His representative works include "This Life", "Mountains and Rivers", "Zen is a Flower", "History of Chinese Literature", "When Today" and so on.

Due to his special identity, Hu Lancheng's books have never been published in the mainland, and his representative work "This Life" has disappeared in the mainland and cannot be seen at all. There are only Hong Kong and Taiwan versions. Among them, the price of the version of Taiwan Yuanxing Publishing House in early 1976 was as high as 300 to 400 yuan.

Now, this book published by China Social Sciences Press in 2003 is an abridged version. It is understandable that it was originally intended to publish it in mainland China, of course, it is necessary to learn the spirit of "Jin Ping Mei" and make the eunuch version.

If Lin Yi remembers it well, he had read this Hong Kong-Taiwan version of "This Life and This Life". This book roughly describes eight women who were related to Hu Lancheng. Except for Quan Huiwen who was later infected and Ying Yingdi (singer Xiao Baiyang) who was replaced by Zhang Ailing, the other six figures occupied about the same length in the book. Even if he tried so hard, Hu Lancheng still responded to his choice. In "This Life and This Life", there were 8 figures who had been related to Hu Lancheng, among which 8 were indeed related to Hu Lancheng.

Five folk women are the first wife Yufeng, female teacher Quan Huiwen, nurse Xiao Zhou, Si family girl Fan Xiumei, and RB woman Yizhi. The remaining three are the Red Song girl, the other is the talented woman Zhang Ailing who is shining in the water, and the other is the last one, and they live and die together with Hu Lancheng in RB and live in the years. This woman is not inferior to Zhang Ailing’s unusualness. She is the wife of Wu Sibao, the former SH Beach gang boss, and the eldest sister of SH Beach.

Therefore, some people say that "This Life and This Life" is a "Fragrance Collection" by Hu Lancheng. The fragrance collection written in such a graceful writing style made many women feel uneasy. Hu Lancheng gave lectures at RB in the late 1960s, and his female disciples were said to be divided into two factions to fight for favor. When he was giving lectures next to the Zhu family in Taipei, Zhu Tianwen, a talented woman from Taiwan, was by her side, and kept reciting famous quotes from Zhang Ailing's novels. The female writer Lin Hui'e and others couldn't stand it and said, "It's obvious that they want to be included in the fragrance collection of "This Life and This Life"!" This shows Hu Lancheng's magic to women.

According to Lin Yi's thoughts, putting aside Hu Lancheng's literary talent, he is essentially a traitor version of "Ximen Qing".

Thinking of this, Lin Yi waved the castrated version of "This Life" and asked the book stall owner, "How much does this cost?"

The boss fucked Chuanyin and said, "5 yuan, this book is still new!"

Lin Yi was very happy. As expected, the price was low and the book was really new, and he didn't even take off his waist seal.

Without further ado, just take out the money to pay the bill.

Seeing that Lin Yi was quite generous, the boss pointed to the author's name in the book and said, "What, big brother, do you like reading this person's books?"

Lin Yi asked back: "Do you have anything else?"

The boss smiled, revealing his smoky teeth and said, "There is really one, but it's a little more expensive... I've read it and said it's a book from Taiwan..."

Taiwan version?

Lin Yi's curiosity suddenly arose.

I saw the boss bare his teeth and began to take out a book from behind his butt. The book looked very precious and wrapped in transparent plastic film.

When I opened it, Lin Yi was stunned. It turned out to be "Zen is a Flower" published by Taiwan Sansan Bookstore in 1979, and it was the first version!

Looking at the author again, it said: Li Qing.

"Zen is a Flower" is a explanation of one hundred cases in the first extraordinary Zen book "Bi Yanlu" by Hu Lancheng during his residence in Taiwan in the late 1970s.

For more than 800 years, Chinese writers and thinkers have always wanted to explain the "Biyan Lu" in the Song Dynasty of the Ming and Song Dynasties. It was not until Hu Lancheng that he accomplished this career. This book plays a huge role in the understanding of Chinese Zen thought. It can be regarded as a major event in Chinese Zen.

In the book, the cousin, brother, sister, etc. are actually Hu Lancheng's own incarnation, like a rain of flowers and rain everywhere. The interpretation in the book is of course still part of Hu's overall literary concept. We can regard it as a "Zen interpretation" "This Life and This Life", which is also possible.

Lin Yi suppressed his excitement, looked through the book and read the copyright, and then read the foreword again, but it was the author's words:

I read Zen books and intuitively knew that Zen was not created by Dharma, and Zen was originally Chinese thought, and it was not owned by Yin. Hu Shi had two great achievements in Chinese old learning: one was the author of "Dream of Red Mansions", and the other was the research on Zen. "Biyan Lu" has been regarded as the first book of Zen in RB. This book is a sing of the 1000 Zen master Chongxian Zen in Fenghua Xuedou Temple in the Northern Song Dynasty, and the next generation Zen Master Yuanwu added a sing of the singular, vocalized and sang. In recent years, the Chinese literary world in Taiwan has been popular in talking about Zen. Although the initial fate is shallow, it is still a chance. The reason why I wrote this "Zen is a Flower" was to explain it to the hundreds of people, so that they could only bring out the wisdom of the past and liberate the current thinking methods.

Seeing Lin Yi looking carefully and seriously, and seemed to be afraid that Lin Yi would not understand who wrote the book, the boss of Big Black Tooth pointed to the author "Li Qing" and said that this person was actually Hu Lancheng. He heard that he was a bad person and his book was not given up, so he used a pseudonym.

Lin Yi was so dizzy. Even the book seller is so knowledgeable now. It can be seen that the book is getting harder and harder to find, and he has become a master. He can even understand such unpopular knowledge clearly. I guess this book is a sky-high price.

Lin Yi was mentally prepared and asked: "How much does it cost?"

Big Black Teeth smiled: "At least 300!"

Lin Yi: "..." He was stunned.

It’s not that the other party wants too much, but too little, because Lin Yi clearly knows that the first edition of this book costs at least 1,000 yuan.

After thinking about it carefully, Lin Yi understood that although the other party knew that the book was valuable, he did not distinguish between the first version and the second version. The intermediate price code was three times different.
Chapter completed!
