Chapter 45 Preface to the Seal
Looking for an inconspicuous tavern at the door, Wu Wei and the old man sat down, the old man seemed to be a frequent visitor here, and ordered a few signature dishes without looking at the list, for the two of them to rub a meal, the only meal in the past three days made both of them quite satisfied, for the old man, a few days of sleeplessness, it is extremely ordinary, and as for Wu Wei's stomach, it has long been deflated chest and back, ordinary meals now taste like dragon liver and phoenix marrow, the best delicacy under the world is nothing more than a bowl of ordinary meals when you are hungry。
"Yes, if this seal is copper-yellow, it is a primary seal, and its body is transparent, and it is the color of snow silver, it is an intermediate seal, do you see the words on this letter, is it transparent silver?" the old man explained while moving his chopsticks.
Following the old man's guidance, Wu Wei swept his gaze to the inscription on the paper, and looked at it carefully, and the fruit on it was emitting a shining silver light.
"What about the high-grade inscription?" After staring at the inscription revealed on the letter for a moment, Wu Wei's gaze turned to the old man again.
"You think too highly of me, a bad old man. The old man shook his head helplessly and sighed, "I haven't seen it in most of my life." ”
Unexpectedly, this high-grade inscription was so rare, Wu Wei felt a burst of surprise in his heart, and at the same time, he also gave birth to more yearnings.
"Then senior, are you a pattern artist?" Unable to suppress his curiosity, a blazing heat rose in Wu Wei's gaze, and he asked.
"Hey...... You are a Chinese cabbage as a printer, in this Qingyuan Town, if I am a printer, I still live in this shabby house. The old man's cloudy eyes glanced at Wu Wei like an idiot. "I'm a researcher of Indian texts at best. ”
Hindu researchers?
For the old man in front of him who looked a little obscene, Wu Wei didn't dare to treat it as an ordinary person, but just smiled wryly, this title is very rare.
"This seal researcher, is my own name, that is, the one who originally had the power of the bloodline, but his divine sense and talent were insufficient, as he got older, the power of the bloodline in his body naturally gradually weakened, and finally he could only degenerate into an ordinary sealer. It seems to evoke some unpleasant past, the old man's eyes reveal a little loneliness, thinking that the old man's past must have been dedicated to it for this seal, but this providence is too unpredictable.
After losing the ability to use the print, the old man did not give up the study of the print, but insisted on devoting himself to the study of the origin of the print, which was a little out of the way, but it also allowed him to make a lot of things. With years of immersion, he has not lived up to the name of this Indian researcher, and when it comes to the utility of Indian writing, the old man is full of pride.
"Don't underestimate the power of this inscription, although it has not become a printing pattern, the printing array, but it also has a lot of utility under the ingenious combination, many people just patronize the learning grammar and printing array, but ignore the source of the printing text, although it is not considered to be the end of the book, but it makes the subsequent printing array study will be powerless. His gaze immediately glanced at Wu Wei, "If you embark on the road of this printer in the future, you must not be too impatient, whether it is a primary, intermediate or even advanced seal, every step of this foundation must be down-to-earth, not too ambitious." ”
This exchange made Wu Wei's heart rise with a warm current, this old man, like a thousand yuanzi, is a cold and warm person, when he heard the words, he immediately nodded solemnly.
"Just now, the senior said that my mission this time is related to the inscription in the sealed letter, I don't know what the task is?" Wu Wei asked curiously.
"What is the intermediate-level seal you got from that seal?"
Seeing the old man asking, Wu Wei had nothing to hide.
Wei Wei recalled, "After the seal was branded into my consciousness, I recognized it as a preface."
"Preface? In the intermediate level, it is also a top-ranked inscription, the preface, there is a guide, for combing the guide force, conditioning the printing force, extremely effective. It is indeed suitable for the task I am about to give you. ”
After a pause, the old man raised his head slightly, and there was a faint solemnity in his eyes, and his eyes paused slightly on Wu Wei for a few seconds, and then retracted.
"Young people don't worry, only when they are full can they have the strength to work!" the old man smiled and patted Wu Wei on the shoulder.
Then, after rolling up the food on the table, the two returned to the hut from the narrow alley under the guidance of the old man. However, this time it was further into the depths of the hut.
I have to say that the space in the depths of this hut is much larger than Wu Wei imagined, it is more than 100 meters long, and along the way, there are scattered on the ground, in addition to some strange and unspeakable things, there are all kinds of things that can almost be called antiques- Many electronic products from the last century, and even many of them Wu Wei still had the impression of being a child, but what surprised him even more was that no matter what kind of item it was, under the investigation of divine sense, its surface was contaminated with more or less SCP breath, and the whole place seemed to be like a huge garbage dump for experimental products.
Although the distance was only more than 100 meters, it had already been more than ten minutes after they had cleared away the rather messy objects that blocked their way. After ignoring Wu Wei's eyes, the two finally came to a huge cabinet covered with a pitch-black curtain in the depths.
The wooden cabinet is four or five meters high, only half an inch away from touching the ceiling at the top, it is a behemoth in this room, the heaviness of the black wood makes its appearance look quite heavy, and it is oozing a sense of antiquity, not only that, this wooden cabinet seems to have some strange places, which makes Wu Wei's eyes that fall on the wooden cabinet show a trace of surprise.
It seemed that he had expected Wu Wei to have this expression, and a layer of pride immediately appeared on the old man's face, "Did you find something?"
"The material of this wooden cabinet is quite peculiar, and my divine sense cannot even detect his existence under the probing. Wu Wei also had some interest in this mysterious dark wooden cabinet.
"Yes, this Shen Shen Wood is something I found with great difficulty, this wood shell is extremely heavy, and the texture of its wood is dense, which can isolate the power of divine consciousness, if it is an ordinary divine sense, even his existence can not be discovered, it can be said that it is a natural safe, used to store those treasures or something, it is the most suitable. The old man said triumphantly, just this Shen Shen Cabinet, there is no other home in Qingyuan Town.
The pitch-black curtain was completely torn down by the old man's rough tearing, and a lot of dust suddenly rose up, choking the two of them only to cover their mouths and noses, and waited until the smoke that almost completely obscured their vision cleared. What appeared in front of the two of them was a huge black wooden cabinet that looked extremely simple and ordinary, but it was this Shen Shen wooden cabinet, but it was the most valuable thing in the room. On the surface of the smooth and delicate wooden cabinet, there is no superfluous decoration except for the grain of the wood, and at first glance there is not even a trace of gaps, as if it is like a naturally formed coffin, but under the careful naked eye observation, you can find that on the wooden cabinet, the slightest sense of oppression overflows from time to time.
After a series of complex handprints that could not see the shadow clearly, there was a "crunch", and the wooden cabinet in front of him that seemed to have no gaps immediately opened slowly from the middle, but Rao was like this, Wu Wei's divine sense still couldn't detect anything, this wooden cabinet, not only the appearance, but also the inside seemed to be filled with a void, making it difficult for the divine sense to recognize.
Inside the wooden cabinet, at first glance, there are a lot of strange things, arranged on the shelves, although it looks quite dilapidated, but Wu Wei is not stupid enough to think that these things are worthless, after all, what kind of ordinary things can be placed in this sky-high price of Shen Shen Wood. Although the things inside are still a little messy, they are much better than the things that are directly spread on the ground outside.
When Wu Wei was still looking at those mysterious things with great interest, suddenly, a cold feeling suddenly rushed up from the soles of his feet, and the cold hairs on his arms suddenly erupted in an instant.
Killing Intent!?
As if instinctively, Wu Wei's body burst out, and in an instant, it flashed to the edge of the wooden cabinet.
The suddenly dilated pupils, accompanied by a slightly accelerated gasp, Wu Wei's gaze shot to the old man standing on the edge of the stone platform.
The killing intent that made his hair stand on end did not come from the old man, but from the object that was moved by the old man to the stone platform and tightly wrapped by the black cloth, but the tightly wrapped black cloth seemed to have been torn off on the way to transport.
This is the task I have entrusted to you.
Glancing at Wu Wei, who was like a fried cat, the old man showed a malicious and obscene smile.
