Entering the back hall, a strong smell of books and ink came to my nose.

The back hall is a two-story arrangement, and there is a large hall in the middle, with long tables on both sides and a houhou carpet in the middle. There were people standing at the table reading books, all of them very engrossed. Across the table, you can see rows of bookshelves in the room, and I'm afraid there are hundreds of them. There are people shuttling among the bookshelves. Whether standing or reading a book or walking around the shelves, there was silence, and the hall was silent.

Meng Shuai was infected by the atmosphere, lightened his steps, and then took a closer look, it seemed that the second floor was a tea house, with a screen to separate several single rooms, each single room was placed with three or five tables, some people sat at the table drinking tea and reading books, there was the atmosphere of a bookstore café in the previous life. In his previous life, he liked to spend time in the café of the bookstore, and when he had the opportunity again, he was very happy, and hurriedly walked to the stairs, and just crossed the horizontal table, a person next to him greeted him, and said in a low voice: "Where are you going?"

Meng Shuai said, "What's wrong?" This sentence became a little louder, and immediately caused a vibration in the quiet hall.

The man grabbed him and whispered, "Be quiet." I ask you where to go. ”

Meng Shuai said: "I'll go up and read a book." ”

The man: "Aren't you an apprentice?"

Meng Shuai was tired of this sentence in his heart, and said, "Yes, yes." How?"

The man said, "The apprentice is not allowed to go up." Just stand below and watch. Pointing to the man standing at the long table reading a book, he said, "These are apprentices. As for being older than you, they are all your senior brothers, and they are still standing and watching, so you sit down?"

Meng Shuai was all kinds of unhappy, but sure enough, many people were standing and reading, and he had no reason to do it, and said, "Okay." Then he was about to turn over the table, and was caught again, when he heard the man reprimand, "Which school and which school are you? Why are you so presumptuous? The apprentice is not allowed to take the book himself." ”

Meng Shuai said: "Why are there so many rules?"

Seeing that he was young, the man didn't say anything more, and said, "Give me the sign, and I'll bring you a book list." Really, before you come back, ask your cousins what is okay and what is not. ”

Meng Shuai was helpless, handed the sign to him, the man glanced at it, and said, "Temporary? How many years have you been studying? I'll give you a list of books. ”

Meng Shuai thanked him, and then said, "One month." ”

The man looked at him like a rare animal, and after a while, he said, "Okay, you know what you're going to see, you wait here." As he spoke, he flipped over the table and into the bookshelf.

Meng Shuai looked at him from this side of the table, and after a while, the man came back with two books, put them on the table, and said, "This is for you." "And put a small hourglass on the table.

When Meng Shuai took it, he saw that one was "Sealing Technique Enlightenment", and the other was "Basic Nine Seals", which were two basic textbooks that could no longer be basic, which were exactly what he needed, so he listened to the human: "Don't say that you have learned." Can we learn the same thing here as you did in class? This is the full version, not anywhere else. You've read these two books, and it's never too late to learn anything else. ”

Meng Shuai bowed deeply and said, "Thank you, senior brother." ”

Seeing that Meng Shuai understood etiquette, the man was in a much better mood, and said, "It's okay, hurry up, an hour's time." As he spoke, he turned the hourglass on the table around.

Meng Shuai was stunned and said, "Why is there only one hour?"

The man said: "You are an apprentice, or a temporary number plate, and you are not the person on the name of the Three Spirits Hall at all." I can only read books for one hour a day. This is still a special treatment. Even if it's not temporary, as long as it's an apprenticeship, there's a time limit, and you see who of those people isn't carrying an hourglass?"

Meng Shuai took a look, and sure enough, he saw that there was an hourglass in front of everyone, and the sand was flowing down, indicating the passage of time, and there was a feeling of palpitation. The man put down the hourglass and said, "I'll collect the book then." "Turn around and go.

Meng Shuai exhaled and started from "Sealing Technique Enlightenment".

Sure enough, as the man said, this is the complete version of the basic textbook. It is not the same as Gao Qi's chaotic notes, not only is it complete, but also the words are smooth and simple, even Meng Shuai can understand it at a glance, it is really a "popular science book".

It introduces in detail the basic knowledge of "sealing" and "sealing", from the use of seals, the types of seals, the selection of printing blanks and other materials, the arrangement and engraving of seals, and even the history and current situation of sealers, the exhibition and schools of sealing, and the introduction of various special materials and sealing techniques.

Since Meng Shuai got the essence of Zhenliutang's mind, his memory has improved to a higher level, and he can almost say that he will never forget it, and he doesn't need to look at it a second time, but even so, it is impossible to really scan them one by one, and he has to look at them line by line.

He had planned to write it down and figure it out for himself. But the book on seals is really interesting, and the more you learn it, the more interesting it becomes. When he first read Takasaki's notes, he was about to stop after reading two lines, but now he read the book and read it in one breath, and he didn't even have the time to catch his breath.

And I don't know if this book is written very simple and clear, and it is easy to go to the brain, Meng Shuai did not directly stuff it into his head, but while reading it, he thought about it and confirmed it with the ideas formed in his brain, and the more he pondered, the more interesting it became.

Meng Shuaixian, this book includes all of Gao Qi's notes, and all of Fan Gao Qi's books contain all of them, and only deeper and wider. Even if there are discrepancies between the two, with a little thought, you can tell right from wrong, and it is 100% that the book is right and Takasaki's notes are wrong. He used to have some incomprehensible places, compared with this book, and immediately figured it out, feeling like he had a famous teacher's guidance, and he was enlightened at that time.

Sure enough, it is worthy of the complete version of the enlightenment book, which is amazing.

However, on the other hand, everything mentioned in the Turtlemon scroll is not mentioned in this book, and there is no need to mention the sealing spell of Turtlemon, there is not even a shadow on it, and the claim of "all-encompassing sealing" is completely contrary to the theory in this book. is the back of the picture, Meng Shuai also appeared quite puzzled.

Reading this book, Meng Shuai was convinced that the "empty mirror seal" behind him must be completely printed, but the words in the book are conclusive, there are only three basic seals for complete sealing, and even if the other seals are similar to complete seals, they must have another basis, and they are by no means "complete and complete seals". Meng Shuai brought his empty mirror seal into the comparison for a long time, and was sure that it was a complete seal, which can only be understood as the book has too little knowledge and the conclusion is arbitrary.

Come to think of it, in the end, it's just an enlightenment book, although the foundation is solid, but the vision is not high after all, and I can't believe it too much.

On the other hand, his own 100-steel seal is very conventional, which is one of the "internal force seals". It's just that compared to ordinary prints, it's a little more complicated.

According to the book, there are nine seals, and although each has its own wonderful effect, the most essential root is "internal and external forces". These are also the two basic classifications of prints. Internal and external forces.

The so-called internal force generally refers to the seal that strengthens the properties of the fiefdom material itself, and the external force is the seal that allows the material to obtain additional efficacy. For example, if a sword is sharp, the internal force seal will make the sword itself hard, and the external force seal will add additional pressure and even sword energy to the sword, making it easier to slash.

In a general sense, the internal force seal is more rare than the external force seal, because the reinforcement itself has to drill into the material, which has higher requirements for the sealing spell and is irreversible. But on the other hand, the external force seal changes more ends, the effect is more magical, in the eyes of outsiders, the external force seal is a magical means, the internal force seal is inevitably the first-class craftsman iron

The number of external force prints is more than ten times that of internal force prints. In the market, external force printing is far more common than internal force printing. For example, what Meng Shuai saw, the rotation of the Eight Treasure Iron Lotus Seeds, the self-shooting of the bow and crossbow without arrows, and the Kaifeng Seal of Shui Sigui are all external force seals, and they do not involve the material itself.

It is mentioned in the book that the real internal force seals such as "anti-wear", "anti-cold", "anti-cold" and other seals, although the effect on weapons is obvious, but because of the lack of gorgeous appearance and magical effects, the value has never been recognized by outsiders. In the same printing method, the external force seal is simpler than the internal force seal, and the price is higher, and the sealer does not like to do the internal force seal. The weapons or other materials that have been treated with internal force seals are all "private weapons" used by the sealer himself or for his friends. "You can't see it in the market.

Meng Shuai can roughly guess that since it is called a hundred steel seals, it should be a seal that increases the hardness of the material, a standard internal force seal, and a clever printing method, and it can't be sold at a price. But it is so complicated, it seems that it must be a nine-fold seal.

The empty mirror seal is also a large seal equivalent to the nine-fold seal, and this hundred steel seal is also the seal of the nine-fold seal.

So...... The remaining seals that Meng Shuai can't even see are how many seals are there?

Meng Shuai originally thought that there were only twelve seals in the Turtle Gate, and the inheritance as a big sect was too little. But after reading the book of enlightenment, I realized that there were already a lot. There is a saying among the sealers that "one seal goes all over the world, three seals do not sit down, six seals and one call echoes ten thousand seals, and the nine seals are deep and boundless", that is, the sealer masters a seal, and he is not afraid to go all over the world, and he masters the nine seals, and that is the character in the immortals. Turtlemon gave twelve at once, which is really the conscience of the industry.

The seal here refers to the "secret seal." "It's unique to the church, and others don't. It's not an ordinary printing method such as an open front seal and an anti-wear seal, and those printing methods are also called "general printing methods." "It's not worth anything you can buy on the street.

Regarding the secret transmission printing method, the language in the book is unknown, Meng Shuai can naturally understand it, the secret transmission is naturally only in a small circle, and others don't know it, of course this enlightenment book will not talk about it in detail. It is quite important to know that there are secret seals, and most of them are extremely complicated, and it takes a lot of energy to learn one, which is more tiring than learning ten general seals. Therefore, beginner sealers often do not master the secret seal method, and there are several general seal methods that are already good, and only intermediate or even advanced sealers have the requirement to master the secret seal method.

Meng Shuai also has a kinship, if there is no help from the essence of the black earth world, he will learn the empty mirror seal, and he doesn't know when he will go. Flipping through this, most of the book has passed, Meng Shuai suddenly sobered up, patted his head and said, "Ah, I forgot that the time should have passed several hours, right?" Looking up at the table, Meng Shuai was stunned and said, "What's the matter?
