Meng Shuai leisurely walked in the self-inflicted market, while browsing the stalls around him.

Since the market is one level lower than other buildings, especially in the apprenticeship area, it is nothing more than a miscellaneous material, or the cheapest printing blank prints, etc. Meng Shuai began to feel that the money in his hands was limited and he didn't dare to spend money indiscriminately, but later realized that he was really a rich man in the apprenticeship circle.

The few big buildings that Meng Shuai had visited before often asked for jade printing blanks as entrance fees, and he also deeply felt that such a cost was like flowing water, and a hundred standard printing blanks would not take three or two days. When it comes to the trading market, the purchasing power of the standard printing blank is actually very strong, and the materials with a price of one jade abound, and there are only one pound of jade materials.

As for what he went to, such as the Tibetan Seal Pavilion and the Rehabilitation Building, ordinary apprentices would not go at all, they were all places where apprentices at the level of "full of warmth and lust" would go, and nine out of ten apprentices came to Tianmu, except for the exchange area, they only went to the trading area, Meng Shuai had inadvertently been a "local tyrant" for a whole day

Entering the apprentice area market, looking at the marked prices, Meng Shuai felt a lot of ironing in his heart, and happily began to sweep the goods.

First, the printing knife.

Meng Shuai got a seal knife from Shao Jun, but when he entered the apprentice market, he realized that the seal knife was too advanced. The general apprentice's seal knife is just a ring, connected to a carving knife as large as a piece of art blade, or made of ordinary cast iron, and the blade is inserted with a general wedge between the blade and the ring, and the blade must be replaced when it is rusty, and the blade must be sharpened from time to time, which is not much stronger than the carving knife of an ordinary carver. The one he got was not so much a carving knife as a "strange thing".

The average apprentice will prepare at least two sets of blades, one of which is better, specializing in formal sealing knives, and the other set is usually used for practice, the knife edge is relatively blunt, the quality is also poor, and the blade can be changed as you go, and it is not distressing.

Meng Shuai also bought a new set for his usual practice. According to the thickness of the finger, the model was selected, and a set of eight blades was added, and an additional set of eight blades was bought. Then I bought the storage of blades and leather goods, the ink and knife wash for the maintenance of the blades, and the fist-sized whetstone, and a backing plate with it, so many things, Meng Shuai picked the medium to high quality, and it was only two jades.

Later, he bought a special printing paper for tracing drawings, a stone slab of the same size and similar feel as the printing blank to test his hands, and a set of iron swords on the back cover to practice simple sealing. These things don't cost much money at all, he bought a lot of them in one go, anyway, there is a black soil world, he can take it out, and there will be no such shop in this village.

The more expensive one is the print, although he is already familiar with the nine basic prints, but after all, he is just memorizing. There are enlarged versions of each of the standard prints on the street, but there is no detailed explanation in the Tibetan Seal Pavilion, so I am afraid it will be difficult to get started if you study it yourself. But he already understood that only one real picture was missing, so he bought all nine, and this one cost nearly a hundred jade.

On top of that, there were some things he was hesitant to buy. For example, incense is burned, "Qingming incense." This is a kind of incense that is burned during the "sealing", and it is said that it is very calming and calming, and the success rate of making the seal is greatly improved. There are also things like "brain awakening pills" and "centering flower dew" with similar effects.

Meng Shuai can't eat pills indiscriminately, so he doesn't want these oral pills, but whether incense is considered a pill for external use is still a matter of two things. However, he didn't buy it in the end, mainly because it was too expensive, and one or two Qingming incense would cost fifty standard blanks, and he didn't seem to be able to afford it.

Some other weird materials, such as beast blood, grass juice, mineral powder, etc., are materials needed for special seals, Meng Shuai naturally won't buy them, and those expensive back cover weapons that can withstand several seals are not in his consideration.

The last long row of streets is the busiest area, with almost twice as many people outside. Meng Shuai looked at the map, and it turned out that he specialized in trading all kinds of printing blanks. The standard seals formulated by the Three Spirits Hall are very uncomfortable, and more and more sealers customize their own seals to make seals. There are also those who buy the finished blanks, and there are also those who bring their own jade to be cut by someone. Of course, the trade of special blanks is also here.

Meng Shuai wondered if he also needed custom printing blanks, but he felt that he hadn't even used printing blanks before that point, how did he know what was suitable for him?

Moreover, although the standard printing blank is more stringent, it is barely enough, but there is no room for error. For a novice like him, it doesn't hurt to be strict with himself at the beginning, and if he relaxes his requirements at the beginning and chooses a loose blank, it may hinder his progress.

But even so, he couldn't change his leisure to join in the fun, and when he saw so many people crowding into the printing area, he couldn't help but follow the flow of people to that side.

At this moment, Meng Shuai suddenly felt that someone was sticking behind him,

He hurriedly flashed sideways, and one slipped past him, and the two passed by, and the man had already entered the crowd and did not look back.

Meng Shuai subconsciously touched the pocket on his body, only to realize that he didn't have any personal property at all, and he was not afraid of someone stealing it. I secretly said in my heart: There will be pickpockets even here? Could it be that I just showed my wealth?

But since there is no loss, he doesn't care about it. Now continue into the billet street.

However, there is nothing surprising when you see people coming and going on the streets, and there are makeshift sheds on both sides, and most of the small sheds buy ordinary blanks, but they are larger than the standard blanks, and they are easier to carve. Those big stores are doing made-to-order business. And the larger the store, the higher the requirements for the number of orders, and don't even want to get started when you order a few pieces at a time.

Yu Shuai went around in a circle, didn't know the essentials, and was about to go out, when he heard the bell ringing, someone shouted: "There is still an hour before the registration deadline for the competition, and those who have not signed up are faster." ”

Meng Shuai was stunned, and there was already a loose list next to him, stuffed it in his hand, and said, "Tianmu Apprentice Sealing Competition, please take a look." ”

Meng Shuai looked down and saw that the list stated that the routine apprentice sealing competition that would be held the next day was divided into "tracing." "Printing. "Basic Seal Display" and so on, the prizes are quite rich. The second best award is also a 100-standard blank. I secretly said in my heart: I see, there are so many people here, maybe there are many people who come for this

But it had nothing to do with him, he didn't know at all.

There is a line at the bottom, which is a special competition for apprentices who are limited to those under the age of fourteen and have learned to seal for less than a year. The prizes are also very generous.

But...... He hasn't learned the three basic seals either.

Sure enough, I still don't have anything to do with him at all..."

Fold the list into a ball and stuff it into his sleeve, Meng Shuai was about to turn around and find a place to throw it away.

Little did he know that in a shop behind him, there were several pairs of eyes staring at him.

One of the white-faced young men pointed at Meng Shuai and said, "Is that him?"

Another thin man said: "It's him, we found an apprentice who had seen him in the hall when we were outside, and we just passed by him to confirm that that kid is someone who has a relationship with Qin Shuang." ”

The white-faced young man nodded, "That's a bit of a problem." You have arranged this trap, he is not fooled, won't it be in vain? It seems that the people who are with Qin Shuang are just as cunning as him. ”

Another big man next to him said: "Please forgive me for being rude—isn't this just an ordinary apprentice?" We want to find someone, since we have something to do with him, we should arrest him and torture him, why bother with it?"

The thin man shook his head and said, "Senior Brother Li doesn't know, I originally thought he was just an ordinary apprentice, but how did I know that after an investigation, he actually had a connection with that side-" He pointed in his hand as he spoke.

The big man followed the direction of his finger, first puzzled, and then surprised: "And the south?"

The white-faced young man said, "It's with those evil birds." You don't dare to offend those birdmen to make this trap, don't you? I don't think you're stupid enough. You don't know what kind of character he is, and he won't adapt measures to local conditions, but will only be rigid. If he is of an idle temperament and does not come out at all, how can you use any gimmicks like competitions to trap him?"

The thin man's face was flushed by him, and he snorted: "Time is urgent, we can't think of ......"

The white-faced young man said: "Okay, make up for the dead, now you go to make up the list, just say that you will go to the scene to watch the competition, and only accept one jade." And there is a lottery in the process, and the prizes are not limited to anything, and the abundance of the writing can make those idlers flock to it. ”

The thin man said, "Yes...... But it's just a lottery, what's the chance?"

The white-faced young man said: "As long as you create a chaotic scene of thousands of empty alleys, you can kidnap him while he is in chaos." What opportunities are not opportunities, do clean hands and feet, eyes and hands are faster than any chance. ”

The thin man said, "I see. ”

The big man said: "It's not me who said, Childe, you still don't underestimate the group of bird women in the south." ”

The white-faced young man sneered, "I'll use you to sue me?" But don't exalt him too much, is he really the biological son of the five bird girls? Even if it's really exposed, I have someone to stand up and resist, and who will fight against us in Biwa Valley for a mere apprentice at that time?"

The big man said, "Who can compete with the bird girl?

The white-faced young man said, "I don't have it in my hand, but I can borrow it." ”

The big man said, "With who......m?" Could it be ......?"

The white-faced young man said: "Thank you to all the teachers of our Seven Sects Leader Xuanji Mountain, in order to strengthen their momentum, even their ancestors have been invited down the mountain." ”

The big man patted his leg and said, "It's really a grand event that has not been encountered in 10,000 years." ”

The white-faced young man stood up and said, "Deacon Li, come with me to meet the elders of the One Yuan Ten Thousand Law Sect. ”
