Chapter 128: Ancient Writings

In desperation, Qin Fengming did not stop in the Fang City any longer, identified 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 Country, and Cangling Lake covers an area of tens of thousands of square miles.

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

This place is already very close to Cangbei City, and there are many pedestrians on the road who travel intermittently, following the flow of people, and soon he came to Cangbei City.

Looking at this city, there is no difference from other cities, the same is that the city walls are tall and cover a wide area.

When I came to the city, I asked the people who were passing by where the shops selling books were, and I didn't stop anywhere, but walked straight there.

When I got closer, I realized that there were more than a dozen shops on this street, all of which were shops selling books. At this time, the Great Liang Kingdom was a scholar with literature, and the literary style was prevalent, so the shops selling books were also very prosperous.

When I entered a bookstore, I found a shelf behind the counter filled with books. An old man in his sixties and seventies was sitting on a chair beside him, holding a yellowed book in his hand, and reading it carefully. There were two guys standing behind the counter, one of whom was introducing a customer.

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

"I don't know what books this boy needs to buy, but our store has all kinds of books. Hundreds of years ago, the autographed works of Feng Han, Yan Wei and other literary masters are very complete. I won't disappoint Childe. ”

Listening to the words of the guy, Qin Fengming smiled secretly in his heart, he didn't know who Feng Han and Yan Wei were, and they thought that they should be ancients a long time ago. He smiled and said, "I don't know, do you have any books for sale here about the comparison between ancient and modern characters?"

When the guy heard this, his face was stunned for a moment, and he asked inexplicably: "I don't know what kind of ancient font it is?" Can the son write a few words, otherwise it is difficult to judge." ”

Qin Fengming stepped forward and used the pen and ink on the counter to write the words on several crimson scrolls on the paper. Raise your hand and hand it to the guy.

The guy took it, looked at it carefully, shook his head and said, "These characters seem to look like the font of the Guli era, but they are a little different. It seems like a long time ago. What kind of text is it, you have to analyze it carefully......."

At this time, the old man on the chair next to him heard Qin Fengming and the two talking, put down the scroll in his hand, and walked to the two of them.

The guy immediately stopped talking and hurriedly said, "Mr. Wen, please take a look at what era these characters are? You are an expert in ancient characters. As he spoke, he handed over the words written by Qin Fengming with both hands.

The old man took it and looked at it carefully. His eyes lit up, and his countenance immediately became solemn. After a closer look, the old man's face immediately turned happy. Turning to face Qin Fengming, he said, "This little brother, I don't know where you got these words?"

Qin Fengming saw the old man's expression, he was overjoyed, and secretly looked forward to it in his heart, and when he heard the old man's question, he immediately replied: "I saw these words in an ancient book, I don't know if the old man denied these words?"

"These words you have written are written more than 100,000 years ago, and very little has been circulated now. The people who know it are even rarer, but the old man still knows a few. ”

"When the old man was young, he went to the exam several times, but his name fell to Sun Shan, and his fame was hopeless. So he devoted himself to the study of ancient texts. More than ten years ago, I had seen this kind of writing in an ancient book, and spent five years studying it, and finally translated that ancient book. ”

The old man's face turned red and said with some excitement.

Qin Fengming was overjoyed when he heard it. I didn't expect this kind of writing to be a font from more than 100,000 years ago, and if you go to other stores, you may not find anyone who is proficient in this kind of writing. I didn't want my luck to be so good, so I met someone who was proficient in this kind of writing at the first store.

"Uncle, do you recognize these words?" Qin Fengming asked eagerly, with a respectful expression.

Of course, I've seen all of these words before. The old man immediately used a brush to write the modern words under each word to show contrast.

"Uncle, I have a lot of these words, I don't know if my husband can translate them all, I won't let my husband translate in vain, I will definitely pay my husband two silver, it doesn't matter how much. If there are other requirements, we will definitely meet them below. Qin Fengming saw that the old man did not hesitate to translate, so he said eagerly.

"Silver two aside, the old man has lost his enterprising spirit since he was young three times, so he devoted himself to the study of ancient texts. Fame and fortune have long been lighted up. ”

"Although I can translate these words quickly, if it is a text that I have never seen before, it will take a long time, I wonder if the little brother can wait so long?" The old man's eyes were full of excitement, and his eyes were fixed 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 the idea of career and turned to study ancient texts. Now seeing ancient writings is much more exciting than getting any money.

"There are about 10,000 of these characters in the ancient book I got, I wonder how long it will take for my husband to fully translate them?" Qin Fengming thought for a while and asked.

"It can be as long as a year, as short as a few months. The old man hesitated and said.

"Well, according to what the old man said, I will go and find a place to live now, and come here tomorrow morning to ask the old man to come over, and if the old man can translate all the words, I will be greatly rewarded. After speaking, Qin Fengming got up and bowed to the old man and said goodbye to the old man.

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

I thought about it alone just now, and it must be extremely inconvenient to live in an inn, so I can only find a house. Although there were one or two hundred taels of silver on his body, it was certainly not enough to buy a house. Only by buying a ginseng plant on your body can you make up enough silver.

This ginseng plant is more than two feet long, and it must be complete, like a human form, and it is as polite as life. 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. But for Qin Fengming, this ginseng plant is not very useful.

When Qin Fengming took out the ginseng and put it on the counter, the shopkeeper in the pharmacy was suddenly stunned, and when he got closer, he looked at it carefully, and for a moment, his eyes were full of excitement. He has lived for decades, and he has never seen such a large old ginseng plant, so he hurriedly found the owner.

The owner's surname is Wei, born in a family of traditional Chinese medicine, about sixty years old, full of red light, and in good spirits. I was also excited when I saw the old ginseng on the counter. zuihou, this ginseng was sold for 20,000 taels of silver.

After the transaction was completed, Qin Fengming said to the owner: "I don't know if the old man knows, who sells houses in the city?"
