Chapter 6 Xiuzhen Cottage Exhibition (II) Repair
At this time, Su Ze saw again that a new tender Taoist friend who was a rookie at first glance was being fooled by a bunch of old birds in the [Holy Dao Society] exchange area.
"Fellow Daoist, there are a total of eleven versions of "The Palm of the Gods", if you buy them all, we will only charge ten copies. Considering that you are just getting started, it is best to add the "Secret Book of Xiuzhen", because almost all the secrets have a lot of extensions and allusions, which involve allusions and other classic ......"
The big river crab smiled like a Maitreya Buddha, and handed over a set of "Cultivation Secret Book Collection" very kindly. “...... If you only read that secret book when you cultivate it, you won't be able to fully understand it. This set of "Daquan" is an indispensable tool book for cultivators. ”
The "Dream Out of the Immortal Machine" next to him interjected again, holding a tall stack of books in his hand, and smiling very brightly: "Fellow Daoist, as a beginner, if you want to cultivate the "Divine Palm", you can't do without these books. ”
"Dream out of the fairy machine" enthusiastically introduced, smiling very kindly, and didn't seem to be at ease with the misunderstanding just now.
These birdmen are so good at fooling, poor Xiaobai! Su Ze sighed when he saw it.
After a lot of flickering, the booksellers sent away this Taoist friend called "Young Master Mop" with a smile on their faces: "A total of 63 secret books, 5 sets of CDs, a total of 6,350 yuan, and 6,000 yuan after discount." Thank you for your patronage, please go to the cashier to pay. ”
The "young master mop", who was dizzy by the booksellers, handed over the money in a daze, and stood there holding a large pile of books and CDs, still in a daze.
He was about to go back to his room to put away the book, when another drug dealer came out: "Hey, fellow Daoist, please stay." ”
The visitor enthusiastically introduced himself: "Fellow Daoist, I am the 'Flying Bat' of [Alcatraz]. I just saw that you bought a lot of books for "The Palm of the Gods". ”
"That's right. "Young Master Mop" replied subconsciously. His expression was stupid now, and he looked like he hadn't come back to his senses yet.
"If you want to practice "Rulai Divine Palm", you can't just read books...... "Flying Bat" said earnestly: "Haven't you heard: Cultivation is to be tasteful, and it all depends on medicine to feed! Cultivation is to enter the industry, and it all depends on medicine to carry it! Taoist friends, practicing martial arts is indispensable for medicine to warm up, let alone cultivating truth!"
"Ah............" The expressions of "Young Master Mop" are even more silly.
"There will be a large number of medicine masters, and there are corresponding elixirs for the cultivation of various exercises!, come and ......" The "Flying Bat" pulled the "Young Master Mop" to the booth of [Alcatraz Island], picked up two bottles of medicine and boasted: "...... Fellow Daoists, please see, this is the secret [Lingshan Tianlu Dan] and [Great Yan Ascension Immortal San] made by this association, which are the most suitable for the cultivation of the "Rulai Divine Palm" ......"
It's so despicable! It's so shameless! These birdmen are too bullying Xiaobai! Su Zedu couldn't stand it anymore, and scolded in his stomach.
Looking at this posture, under the siege of those "enthusiastic seniors", this poor "mop young master" classmate will not be able to walk if he spits out thirty or fifty thousand yuan this time.
..............................................................................
"The grass and mud horses of the Mara Gobi, here are a bunch of people who have a lot of money to burn their hands and have enough to eat!" Lin Shenhe scolded in his heart while taking pictures.
Lin Shenhe is an intern reporter of the "Southeast Business Daily", and the purpose of his visit this time is mainly to interview Yang Liu, a well-known financial speculator.
As a result, before he saw the target this time, he was first thundered by a large number of "copycats" in the venue.
Don't look at things as "copycats", but the price doesn't look like "cottages" at all, if you want to sell something, it's often thousands. The hot trading scene here makes the journalist's psychology extremely unbalanced.
Think about it, a month's salary can't afford to buy a "brick", and it's a half-price promotion of "bricks", which will be extremely depressing for anyone.
"These grandsons who play with cultivation are all rich people!" Lin Shenhe drank a cup of [Secret Refining Herb Dew] for 180 yuan, and sighed in his heart.
Reporter Lin Shenhe's emotion is the actual situation of the Xiuzhen circle. Xiuzhen is really not something that the poor can afford.
There is a saying in China that "the poor are rich in martial arts". In other words, the cost of learning martial arts is much higher than that of learning literature. To study literature, a few books are fine. Anyway, after the Tang Dynasty, with the development of papermaking and the popularization of printing, the cost of books has dropped significantly, and ordinary people can afford it.
But learning martial arts is different, the cost of this industry has never been low, such as weapons and equipment for martial arts training is a considerable investment. Not to mention, the large amount of meat and tonic necessary during the martial arts practice is a money-throwing business. The kind of thing that you can practice martial arts just by eating green vegetables and radishes is just a plot in a novel, and it has never happened in reality.
But compared to Xiuzhen, the amount of money spent on martial arts training is simply negligible, just like the difference in the cost of battleships and torpedo boats. The resources consumed by a cultivator are unimaginable to people who are not in this circle.
If a person studies literature for 10 years, according to the price standard of modern Chinese society, it will cost about 20,000 or 30,000 yuan; if he practices martial arts for 10 years and does not have 200,000 or 300,000 yuan, he will not be able to get down at all; but if he changes to cultivation, it will be even more unbelievable.
Therefore, in Chinese history, there are only four kinds of people who play Xiuzhen, the first type is of course powerful, such as a generation of emperors such as Emperor Qin and Han Wu, or a powerful person like King Huainan, who has the support of the state apparatus, wants money, and wants people. The second type is rich, with hundreds of millions of assets, so they can naturally afford to play this kind of money-burning game; the third type is the one who has face, has a wide range of contacts, is popular, and can also get a lot of support.
The last kind is the explosion of character, another way of saying this kind of guy is "a pervert who hangs the protagonist's template and adds a golden finger full of gold"! This kind of thing is not an existence that normal people can understand at all, they may be able to pick up heavenly treasures when they go out, and they can step on an immortal master when they pull wild shit.
As for ordinary people, they can only squat in the corner and draw circles. Xiuzhen is not a popular table tennis, if you don't have the above four elements, you don't even think about it.
Of course, due to the development of science and technology and the improvement of productivity, the threshold for cultivating truth is still much lower than in ancient times.
Take the "cheats" as an example, this thing was priceless in ancient times, and people often killed corpses all over the field and rivers of blood for a cheatbook. But now, at most, you can buy a copy for a maximum of 180 yuan, and you can get a discount if you buy more. Even on the Internet, it is possible to download the electronic version for free.
In addition, the price of medicinal materials, raw materials, etc., which are indispensable for repairing the truth, has also been greatly reduced due to the increase in productivity. In the past, cultivators could spend months looking for a ginseng plant. And now, only you can afford to pay for it, and the market can provide it wagon-to-wagon, and also deliver it to your door. In ancient times, it often took several months and a large amount of gold and silver to refine some steel, but now the same gold and silver can be exchanged for a thousand times the amount of steel.
However, although the threshold for cultivating truth has been lowered, it is only relative. For most salaried people, it's something you can only see.
When it was time for dinner, today's "exchange meeting", or "copycat exhibition", was naturally temporarily suspended.
It didn't take long for everyone to disperse.
