Hundred Refinements Ascension Record

In desperation, Qin Fengming didn't stay in Fangshi any longer, but looked for the direction and headed towards Cangbei City, which was the closest to here.

Cangbei City is located in the north of Cangling Lake, the largest inland lake in Daliang Kingdom. Cangling Lake covers an area of ​​one or two thousand miles.

Qin Fengming lowered his body ten miles away from Cangbei City, changed his appearance into a black-faced young man in his 20s, and walked straight to Cangbei City in the distance.

This place is already very close to Cangbei City, and there are many pedestrians walking intermittently on the road, following the flow of people, not long after, he came to Cangbei City.

Looking at this city, it is no different from other cities seen, the same thing is that the city wall is tall and occupies a large area.

When he came to the city, he asked a passerby where the shop selling books was, and he walked straight there without hesitation.

When he came to point out the direction, he found that there were more than a dozen shops on this street, all of which sold books.At this time, Liang Guo selected scholars by writing, and the style of writing prevailed.Therefore, shops selling books are very prosperous.

Entering a bookstore, I found that the bookshelves behind the counter were full of various books.An old man in his 70s and [-]s was sitting on a chair beside him, holding a book with yellowed pages and studying it carefully.There were two guys standing behind the counter and one of them was explaining something to a customer.

Seeing Qin Fengming walk in, another guy immediately greeted him with a smile:

"I don't know what books this young master needs to buy. This store has all kinds of books. Even the works written by Feng Han, Yan Wei and other literary masters hundreds of years ago are also very complete. You will definitely not disappoint you."

Hearing what the buddy said, Qin Fengming secretly laughed in his heart, he didn't know who Feng Han and Yan Wei were, they must have been ancient people a long time ago.Hehe smiled and said, "I don't know if you have books on the comparison between ancient characters and modern characters for sale here?"

When the guy said this, his expression froze for a moment, and he asked in confusion, "I don't know what kind of ancient script it is? Can you write a few words, sir, otherwise it's hard to judge."

Qin Fengming stepped forward and used the pen and ink on the counter to write a few words on the crimson scroll on the paper.Raise your hand to the buddy.

The guy took it, took a closer look, shook his head and said: "These characters seem to be written in the ancient Li era, but they are a little different. They seem to be older. The specific characters need to be carefully analyzed... "

Just as the clerk shook his head, the old man on the chair next to him heard Qin Fengming's conversation, put down the scroll in his hand, and walked to the two of them.

The guy slapped his head, and immediately said: "I don't think I'm smart, Mr. Wen, aren't you a master of ancient Chinese? Please take a look, what era are these characters written in?" As he spoke, he put Qin Fengming's words in his hands. The written words were handed over.

The old man took it and looked at it carefully.His eyes lit up immediately, and his face immediately became extremely solemn.After studying it carefully again, the old face immediately showed joy.Turning to face Qin Fengming, he said, "Little brother, where did you get these words?"

Qin Fengming was overjoyed when he saw the old man's expression, and secretly looked forward to it: "I saw these characters in an ancient book. I wonder if the old man can understand these characters?"

"These words you wrote are from 10,000+ years ago, and they are rarely circulated now. People who know them are even rarer, but I still recognize a few. When I was young, I wrote several times. Going to the exam, all names are Luosunshan, and there is no hope for fame. So I devoted myself to the study of ancient Chinese. I saw this kind of writing in an ancient book more than ten years ago, and spent five years studying it. Finally, I translated that ancient book. I don’t want to Now let the old man encounter this kind of writing again."

The old man blushed and said excitedly.

Qin Fengming was overjoyed to hear this.Unexpectedly, this kind of writing turned out to be 10,000+ years ago. If you go to other stores, you may not be able to find someone who is proficient in this kind of writing.I don't want my luck to be so good, but I met someone who is proficient in this kind of writing in the first shop.

"Old man, do you know all these characters?" Qin Fengming asked eagerly, with a respectful expression on his face.

"Of course, I have seen these words before." The old man immediately used a brush to write the current characters under each word for comparison.

"Old man, I have a lot of these kinds of characters. I don't know if I can translate them all. I won't let me translate them for nothing. I will definitely pay me two taels of money. It doesn't matter how much I have. If there are other requests, I will definitely satisfy them." Qin Fengming saw the old man The reader translated it without hesitation, and said eagerly.

"Leaving aside the question of silver, the old man has lost his aggressiveness since he failed the rankings three times when he was young. He has long since lost sight of fame and fortune. Although I can quickly translate these words, if they are words that I have never seen before, It will take a long time, I wonder if my little brother can wait for such a long time?" The old man said with excitement in his eyes, fixed his eyes on Qin Fengming, as if he was afraid that he would not agree.

It turned out that because of the three blows, the old man gave up his official career and turned to study ancient Chinese.Seeing ancient characters now is more exciting than getting any money.

"The ancient book I got contains about thousands of characters. I wonder how long it will take for the old man to fully translate it?" Qin Fengming asked after thinking about it.

"It can be as long as a year, or as short as a few months." The old man hesitated for a while, and finally nodded.

"Okay, according to what the old man said, I'm going to find a place to live now, and come here tomorrow morning to invite the old man to come over. If the old man can translate all the words, I will give you a lot of rewards." After finishing speaking, Qin Fengming got up and rushed The old man bowed and said goodbye to him.

Qin Fengming came to the main street, inquired about the location of the pharmacy in the city, and went straight to a large pharmacy, which was the largest Chinese medicine store in Cangbei City.

Just now he had thought about it quickly: it must be extremely inconvenient to live in an inn, so he had to find a room.Although he has one or two hundred taels of silver, it is definitely not enough to buy a house.Only by buying an old ginseng plant on my body can I make up enough money.

This ginseng plant is more than two feet long, with complete meridians, like a human being, as gentle as a living being.It was originally obtained from the main storage ring of the four castles of Juque Castle.Put it in the secular world, it must be cherished extremely.But to Qin Fengming, this ginseng is not very useful.

When Qin Fengming took out the ginseng and put it on the counter, the shopkeeper in the pharmacy was stunned. He took it closer and watched it carefully. For a moment, his eyes were full of excitement.He has lived for decades, and has never seen such a big old ginseng, so he hurried to find the owner.

The owner, surnamed Wei, came from a family of traditional Chinese medicine. He was about 60 years old, with a rosy face and a hale and hearty spirit.I was very excited to see the old ginseng on the counter.

In the end, this ginseng was sold for 2 taels of silver.

"I don't know if the old man knows, is there anyone in the city who sells a house?" After the transaction was completed, Qin Fengming did not leave, but spoke to the owner.
