Celestial Immortal

Chapter 222 Pengju's bosom sister

Wearing a moon-white Confucian robe and holding a folding fan, Chu Chen strolled along the busiest street in Baihe Market Town.

He is a man of two lifetimes with a bookish air, rather like a scholar, perfectly blending into the atmosphere of the small town outside Baihe Academy.

"Brother, it's great that you are the first-class deputy squad leader, and you can come out to play, it's so interesting."

The little ghost lay on Chu Chen's shoulder, looking around, feeling the bookish and literary atmosphere in the hustle and bustle around him, it didn't know what was going on, and was quite happy.

Chu Chen ignored the little devil, he didn't come to play.

This small town is adjacent to Baihe Academy, and it is full of cultural atmosphere. Among other things, there are bookstores and painting shops just a few blocks away.

He wasn't picky either, so he randomly entered a bookstore and browsed around.

There are not many people in the bookstore, just in twos and threes.

After the other customers had left, the shopkeeper of the bookstore came over with a smile.

"My lord, do you want to buy books or paintings? Our small shop has everything."

The shopkeeper is tall and thin, with a short beard and monkey cheeks. He looks like a shrewd person.

"I'll just take a look."

Chu Chen responded to the shopkeeper in a serious manner, glanced at the bookstore casually, saw that there were no other customers, immediately closed the folding fan, coughed, lowered his voice, and said to the shopkeeper:
"Shopkeeper, do you have any new products in your store?"

The shopkeeper of the bookstore was taken aback, pretending to be puzzled:

"Young master, what's new?"

"It's that. That"

Chu Chen showed an ambiguous smile of "you understand".

This smile was fleeting, and soon returned to the seriousness of a "serious scholar".

"Oh~hehe~"

The shopkeeper of the bookstore understood it in seconds, and said with a meaningful smile, "So the young master is also a fellow man. You should have said it earlier, why are you playing charades?"

After finishing speaking, the shopkeeper of the bookstore greeted Xiaoer to look at the store, and led Chu Chen to the back room of the bookstore.

"My lord, you seem to be born with a pretty face. This is your first visit to our Baihe town?"

"Well, I bought it in the city before, but the search is tight there, and there are no good products."

Chu Chen perfunctory casually.

The shopkeeper smiled, quite proudly: "My lord, you have found the right place. Bookstores and painting shops in the city can't compare with our Baihe Town. From now on, you can just come here, there are all kinds of good things, even if our small shop No, I can call you over too."

While speaking, the shopkeeper brought Chu Chen to the backyard,
Most of the shops in small towns have the layout of the front shop and the backyard.

The front shop does business, and the backyard lives.

The shopkeeper asked Chu Chen to wait in the main room where the guests were received.

Not long after, the shopkeeper left and returned, holding a stack of books and picture albums.

What "Treasure of Pinhua", what "Shadow of Flowers across the Curtain", what "Nine-Tailed Turtle" and so on, people are dizzying to watch.

In addition to various miscellaneous books with colors, there are also various picture albums.

Soon, he found the "beauty album" among the ordinary albums.

This book of beauties turned into an ordinary coloring book under the cover-up method, which is nothing special.

However, Chu Chen possessed supernatural powers, and under a peek, the little tricks couldn't escape his eyes.

Chu Chen was not at all happy when he got the item, but was a little shocked.

"Beauty Picture Book" is too easy to get.

This thing is much more harmful than ordinary coloring books,

It is conceivable that the harm caused by such easy disguising in the market and selling them on a large scale.

"Shopkeeper, this is the only one, how much is it?"

"Two pennies."

Chu Chen was taken aback, it was too expensive.

Ordinary books can be bought for dozens of pennies, and extraordinary books can be bought for hundreds of pennies.

These two amounts of money are a bit of a trap.

Seeing this, the shopkeeper explained: "My lord, there is no other way. The higher-ups have been checking closely recently. We are also taking risks when buying these things, and the purchase is also expensive."

"okay!"

Chu Chen waved his hand and did not bargain with the shopkeeper.

Speaking of which, he has a lot of money in his monthly salary.

It's just that as a monk, he rarely used money, so he didn't care too much, and directly threw two coins to the shopkeeper.

After buying the "Beauty Atlas", Chu Chen took it home and studied it carefully.

When Chu Chen went out, a group of people came to the back room led by Xiao Er.

However, things are always so coincidental, there are acquaintances in the crowd.

Although the little Confucian scholar looked flustered and covered his face with his sleeves, Chu Chen's spiritual sense was strong and his spiritual eyes were supernatural, so how could he escape his eyes.

Seeing this little "Confucian scholar", Chu Chen was furious.

Good guy, who else is it not my little brother Chen Pengju!

It is enough to buy books in front of the store, and everyone knows what they are doing in the backyard.

The younger brother Chen Pengju avoided seeing Chu Chen.

Chu Chen didn't stop him on the spot, but to save him face in front of his classmates, he just passed by his younger brother Pengju as if he didn't see him.

The little brother Chen Pengju was relieved to see that his elder brother didn't recognize him, his face was full of joy for the rest of his life, and his heart was beating non-stop.

However, he didn't take a few steps when he heard the familiar sound transmission from his spiritual sense,
"Pengju, I'll wait for you at the teahouse ahead."

Chen Pengju: "."

Baihe Town, private room of teahouse.

"Brother me."

The younger brother Pengju entered the private room quite nervously, looking at Chu Chen who was drinking tea alone, somehow, inexplicable pressure swept over him, making him a little out of breath.

"sit!"

Chu Chen looked calm and asked the younger brother to sit down, but asked casually:
"What did you go for?"

"Buy and buy books."

"What kind of books do you have to buy in someone's backyard? I'll go to the backyard to handle the case. Don't tell me that you don't read books anymore and go to the county government and ghosts and gods to work as an errand."

Chu Chen gave his younger brother Pengju a meaningful look.

The younger brother, Chen Pengju, has a thin skin, and his fair and tender face was flushed with embarrassment, he hesitated and said: "It's not that I'm going, it's my classmates who are going, who knows what books like "Nine-Tailed Turtle" are in it, we just want to Buying picture albums is not about buying those messy books.”

Chu Chen nodded slightly, and suddenly said coldly: "The picture album, the beauty picture album?"

"Brother, you also know?" The little brother Pengju was quite surprised, and then, a little excited, lowered his voice: "It turns out that you also know this kind of magical picture book, brother, that's great."

Chu Chen said calmly, "Of course I know, I'm here to find this too."

"Brother, have you found it?"

"no!"

"Brother, it's normal not to be able to find it. This kind of book is quite precious, and book spirits will be born in it. It's so wonderful."

Speaking of interesting topics, the younger brother Pengju was quite talkative and eloquent:
"Brother, I accidentally bought a book a few days ago. The book spirit in it is a gentle and considerate sister. She is amazing. She knows everything about poetry, poetry, and Fu. She is better than me. Talking with her has benefited a lot. .”

"In the past, I was studying hard in the cold window, suffering and lonely, but with the company of Sister Shuling, I was full of interest and made great progress in studying late at night."

After talking about the topic, the little brother Pengju lost his restraint and embarrassment, and he was really elated and eloquent.

At a young age, he seemed to have found a confidant who could resonate with him, and his life suddenly became colorful.

Speaking of these, the little brother Pengju's eyes are shining.
