Chapter 2 Stone Inscriptions
What did he say?
Two...... Two pounds!
A few sons and brothers were stunned for a moment, the Xuanshi powder was an absolute luxury in the Great Chu Dynasty, people bought it according to the money, and it cost a few taels of silver for a penny, the best Xuanshi powder in Taikoo Fang is the best grade, and the high-grade Xuanshi powder is comparable to gold, how can you buy it like this?
It's too much of a bully!
Two catties? One catty is 16 taels, and two catties is 32 taels, which is equal to 320 yuan, and according to the price of high-grade Xuanshi powder, this will cost at least nearly 30 taels of gold!
The Great Chu Dynasty was not rich among the seven great countries, and its national income was low, and a hundred copper coins were enough for an ordinary family of three to eat for a month.
"Okay, why are you still stunned, pour it out, hurry up and go to the warehouse to get two catties of high-grade Xuanshi powder, remember, the best kind!" The golden shopkeeper in a golden wide-brimmed robe rubbed his hands with a smile on his face, obviously not surprised at all.
Because, he knows that the Dajing Shen family has a second miss who is a super loser!
Lin Yi grinned, and he was not polite, and as soon as he raised his leg, he directly sat on the Taishi chair next to the golden shopkeeper.
This is the special chair of the golden shopkeeper, carved from thousand-year-old rosewood, and it is not even touched by the outside world on weekdays, but when Lin Yi sat on it, the golden shopkeeper did not even frown, but held the back of the chair with a smile, for fear that Lin Yi would fall from above.
Soon, the longjing with a faint fragrance before the rain was directly presented.
Lin Yi took a sip of the cup, didn't seem to be satisfied, and directly threw the cup aside, and then, cocked Erlang's legs, hummed a little song, and looked leisurely.
"Huh...... Lin Yi, what did you think about the matter I told you last time, don't worry about your contract, wrap it up on me! I sue you, as long as the two of us cooperate, it will definitely be unstoppable!"
Cooperation? Taikoo Place's golden shopkeeper is a well-known rich party in Dajing, and he actually wants to find this poor sour to cooperate? Several sons looked at each other again, their faces full of disbelief.
"Let's talk about it!" Lin Yi waved his hand directly, looking impatient.
Actually refused?!Several sons immediately felt that their IQ was a little insufficient.
"Okay, then you must remember...... By the way, this little meaning, you can look at it. As soon as the golden shopkeeper beckoned, a subordinate took a bag and handed it to Lin Yi with a respectful face.
"I heard that you Taikoo Fang recently got a few stone carved 'books from the ground'?" Seeing the bag handed in front of him, Lin Yi was not polite at all, and directly reached out to put the bag in his arms, and then said to the golden shopkeeper.
"That's right, but it's too heavy to be in the backyard, and if you want to see it, you'll have to go to the backyard. The golden shopkeeper was slightly stunned, and then said directly.
"Okay, let's go to the backyard and have a look. As soon as Lin Yi turned over and jumped off the Taishi chair, and then walked straight towards the backyard, the golden shopkeeper smiled secretly, and immediately followed behind Lin Yi.
It's a rare thing to see, and it's just a thing for this kid to see for nothing? And after reading this kind of thing, the price drops......
However, the Book from the Ground is not so simple to understand, and for people like him, he probably doesn't even know the divine script, right?
But who is this guy, and why did the golden shopkeeper of Taikoo Place scold him so much?
's strong curiosity made several sons and brothers follow quickly.
Taikoo Place, which can obtain the Tianzi brand, is first-class in Greater Kyoto in terms of scale and quality of goods, although the layout of the front yard is luxurious and expensive, but the layout of the backyard is more confident, and the precious antiques fill the entire backyard as if they don't need money.
All kinds of precious weapons and armor are also neatly arranged on the mahogany shelves around them, Lin Yi directly skipped these, there are more of these things in the Shen Mansion, and the few young beasts that are locked in the iron fence and roar can still make Lin Yi look at them twice.
In the Great Chu Dynasty, it is no longer surprising to raise demon beasts, and the most valuable ones are young beasts.
Lin Yi didn't get closer, he approached the young beast before he had the strength, it was looking for death! After all, it was a demon beast, it didn't have a good temper, and it would breathe fire......
Right in the middle of the backyard.
Four huge stone tablets are lined up, covered with a thick red cloth, separated by a fence, and written in four large characters with strong strokes, "Do not climb over".
Lin Yi directly stepped over the fence and climbed in, and the golden shopkeeper smiled and did not stop it.
When several sons and brothers saw this posture, they also followed suit, however, the golden shopkeeper turned his body sideways and stopped directly in front of several sons and brothers, with a stern face.
"Are you blind, don't you look at the signs, don't climb over!"
"The shopkeeper, let alone over, he directly ripped off the red cloth, and he was still touching it!" A few sons and brothers saw Lin Yi touching and touching the stone tablet with his hand, and the sense of imbalance in his heart suddenly appeared.
"Hehe, if a few sons are also from the Shen Mansion, they can naturally go in and touch it. The golden shopkeeper smiled, he didn't say Lin Yi's subordinate identity, only said the word Shen Fu, not that the golden shopkeeper deliberately concealed it, but in his heart, he didn't treat Lin Yi as a subordinate at all.
"Shen Fu !!" The faces of several sons and brothers turned pale all of a sudden, you look at me, I look at you, they all understand the meaning of these two words in Dajing, no matter how heavy the curiosity in their hearts is, they don't have the face to stay at the moment, and they flee one after another.
Lin Yi, who was touching the stone stele, swept the corner of his eyes over a few sons and brothers who were leaving quickly, and ignored them at all.
His attention was completely attracted by the three stone tablets in front of him, touching it left and right, Lin Yi looked very happy.
The material is good, quite hard, solid.
This is Lin Yi's preliminary judgment, as for the next step......
When Lin Yi's eyes carefully examined the calligraphy carved on the stone tablet, he directly scolded the golden shopkeeper in his heart.
How can this thing be understood?
Well, the words on this are probably divine scripts......
In the Shen Mansion, Lin Yi has also seen the divine text, but they are all viewed from a distance, and it is the first time to see it so closely, and the stone tablet that is close at hand is densely packed, like tadpoles, and the figures of different sizes are engraved on the stone tablet.
It's complicated!
Lin Yi thinks he is extremely smart, but he is also a little dazzled by these graphics, in the case of completely incomprehensible, if he wants to memorize by rote, he doesn't know how many years and months he has to memorize, and how many brain cells have died.
The biggest problem is that you can't read at all, you don't know what is written......
"Lin Yi, you may not be able to understand the divine text if you haven't studied it, I have a book dedicated to translating the divine script, you can refer to it!" The golden shopkeeper looked at Lin Yi's confused face and naturally guessed Lin Yi's thoughts.
"Take out the translated books early...... As a punishment for your dishonesty, this book will be confiscated!" Lin Yi directly took the "Divine Translation Tongjian" in the shopkeeper's hand and flipped through it.
"Hehe......" Looking at the "Divine Translation Tongjian" snatched away by Lin Yi, the golden shopkeeper's heart hurt, this is a small ancient book in thread, worth five taels of silver, just flying? Stinky boy, it's really getting more and more shameless, but I like you this, forget it, just invest in it, after thinking about it, the shopkeeper also patiently explained to Lin Yi: "The national strength of our Great Chu Dynasty is not the strongest, so the divine translation that has been published so far is only about 100 words. ”
As the gold shopkeeper said, there are really only a hundred words!
The "Divine Translation Tongjian" in his hand, two divine texts on each page, and remarks and translations next to it, Lin Yi finished reading it in less than a quarter of an hour.
"It's only a hundred words?" Lin Yi was obviously not satisfied. If this is replaced by a Chinese test on the earth, a hundred words, then it is estimated to be the level of the first grade of elementary school......
"You have also seen that this divine text is too complicated, how can it be so easy to translate, every country will be translated into divine language as the foundation of the country, some powerful divine texts will not be published casually, this hundred words are considered to be the common divine text of the seven major countries, the meaning is the most simple, so it will be written into a book, and it will be distributed to the people. ”
"That's ......" Lin Yi thought about it and understood, according to the definition of this world, every divine text has the opportunity to attract the power of heaven and earth, and mastering the new divine text is equivalent to mastering more powerful powers, although there is an alliance between the seven great powers, it is impossible to be selfless enough to make it public.
Thinking of this, Lin Yi stopped talking and began to try to read the book on the stone tablet silently against the "Divine Translation Tongjian".
However, this book is too complicated, the three stone tablets, each of which is almost engraved with hundreds of divine characters, and each divine inscription is composed of extremely complex graphics, even if it is compared with the "Divine Translation Tongjian", Lin Yi only understands a general meaning......
One of them seems to be written to use the power of heaven and earth to attract mountains and rocks, and then what kind of posture they will fall in, and what kind of power will be produced after falling, and there is also a description of mountains and rocks in it......
It turns out that the so-called book from the ground is a text description, and this text description is engraved on some items, as long as the description of this text is reasonable and in line with the way of heaven and earth, then this item can also produce the power in the text description, and the power of this local book should be to attract mountains and rocks!
Thinking of this, Lin Yi also thought of the whip in Shen Feixue's hand......
That play can directly give birth to purple flames, and it is estimated that it is also engraved with divine inscriptions, but because of Shen Feixue's flamboyant personality, he has been holding a whip to "do evil", so the divine inscriptions on the whip are estimated to be covered by purple flames.
However, no matter how Lin Yi looks at it, he feels that the level of description of the scenes and rocks in this book is quite average...... Can this thing be called a book from the ground?
Lin Yi did not comment on this.
Do you dare to write a little deeper?
How to say that Lin Yi is also a person who has written millions of words of novels part-time, not to mention how powerful the writing is, idioms, sentence formation, personification, metaphors, comparisons, essays, argumentative essays, narrative essays, these techniques are still used freely.
It seems that people in this world spend more energy on the study of divine texts, and do not delve into the literary value too much, but if divine texts also belong to a kind of writing, then ......
Lin Yi knows very well that the real power of words does not lie in the number of words, but in the deep meaning contained in the combination of words.
Just like writing essays, you may write more than 2,000 words in one breath, and the exam papers are full, and it is not necessarily as high as someone else's score of 800 words.
Another example is a poem, but it can have far-reaching implications, a song can contain the killing intent of millions of male soldiers, and this world does not seem to have any words and poems, let alone the four famous books and four books and five classics......
Lin Yi thought disdainfully.
Wait, it seems...... What's wrong?
