Hunting High School

Dharma books are the carriers used by wizards to transcribe spells.

Just as wood can hold fire, so pottery can hold water.

Different spells have different functions, and their requirements for carriers are also different.

For example, if the fire spell is recorded in a book made of fish skin, the effect of the spell will be affected due to the heavy Yin energy. Therefore, Ashmolean bindings are often used to transcribe water spells, Paris bindings are used by Catholic cultivators to eulogize, and Venice bindings often appear in the hands of dark creatures.

Zheng Qing knew nothing about these details.

But his intuition made him abandon the ornate casings and exquisitely bound dharma books he had seen before.

So, after he made a request, manager Xiaoyuan led him to the Chinese-style Dharma book showcase.

"Bamboo slips from the pre-Qin period are two feet and four inches long. They are cut from thousand-year-old bitter bamboo, covered with green halo pulp, and intertwined with seven-color deerskin. The outer slip is carved with a complete set of 'Uncle in the Tau' fire spell, and the inner lining is a design that can be replaced many times. We have a set of linings made of different materials, including mulberry paper, Shushan silk, two-layer fox fur, gold and silver, etc. After using the lining, customers can reorder the materials they feel comfortable in the store.”

"And this one, Han and Tang Silk Books, five feet three inches long and one foot eight feet wide, woven with thousand-year-old Amber silk, the silk is beautiful and soft, with a delicate and bright luster. The scroll is made of Ryukyu red sandalwood, which feels warm and refreshing. The fragrance of the book is engraved on the bottom of the shaft with the incantation of 'the east is bright, the moon is the light', so even in the dark night, it will not affect the use of the book at all."

"There are also Song edition Dharma books here. The style is simple and elegant, and the materials are strict. From threading to binding, they all reflect the historical charm of the East. What type do you like?"

The manager of the bookstore displayed these Chinese-style Dharma books one by one and explained them in detail.

Ever since Fatty with the triple chin broke Zheng Qing's status as a public-funded student, Manager Xiaoyuan's attitude became more friendly.

"What about the price." Although Zheng Qing was short of cash, Zheng Qing did not hesitate to broaden his horizons and gain insights.

The soft leather gloves on his hands were replaced by white fine linen gloves. Shusi also thoughtfully provided a pair of monocles, allowing him to carefully examine the padding on the bamboo slips, the lines on the silk, and the beginning and end of the binding of Song books.

[In other words, currently the best app for reading and listening to books, Yeguo Reading, yeguoyuedu install the latest version. 】

"The pre-Qin Bamboo Slips start with fifteen jade coins, and there is still room for floating up and down according to the configuration of the lining; the Han and Tang silk books start with ten jade coins, and the scrolls can be replaced, and the price is not fixed; the Song version of the five jade coins, unified price."

"What type of Dharma books are the most sold?"

"University standard style, top-layer deerskin cover, silk bookmark strap, brass inscription, book corner, blank title page, mulberry paper." Manager Xiaoyuan spoke quickly: "Because it is a standard format, its durability is limited. Students are replaced once a semester, and a jade coin is offered."

"That's it." Zheng Qing weighed it.

"Since you are a public-funded student, if none of these can meet your requirements, the shop can also tailor a Dharma book for you, which will definitely satisfy you as a customer." Seeing Zheng Qing's hesitation, Xiao Manager Yuan actively recommended: "Shangyuan Shusi has a Dharma book production master certified by the Wizarding Union, you can rest assured."

"It must be expensive."

"The price starts from one golden bean, and there is no upper limit. Depending on your materials and requirements, the price of the book is different. If you are a public student, you can get a 30% discount on labor."

"I'll go and have a look." Zheng Qing felt happy, wondering if he could buy a Dharma book with three or five golden beans.

Jade coins, gold beans, silver horns, and copper coins are several currencies in the wizarding world. One jade coin can be exchanged for ten gold beans. If you use three or five gold beans to solve the problem of the Dharma book, you can save at least six or seven gold coins. Golden beans.

According to Thomas, a handful of copper is enough for Zheng Qing to eat three meals a day in college. Six or seven golden beans are estimated to be enough for his life expenses for a month.

His full scholarship is only ten jade coins, and he needs to purchase all the necessities for school on the list, and also needs to take into account some other expenses after the school starts.

Zheng Qing felt a little nervous.

Since he knew the currency exchange rate, he had given up on asking his family for money.

Since there is no open source channel for the time being, then we must learn to compare pennies and pennies.

"This way, please." Manager Xiaoyuan led Zheng Qing to a small door deep in the bookstore.

The cyan double wooden doors do not match the overall dark tone of the store. Bixie's rune is engraved on the door frame around the wooden door, and New Year pictures of the god Tu Yulei are hung on the door leaf. The New Year pictures are a little old, and the color is a little whitish. The two great gods, Shen Tu and Yu Lei, were leaning on the painting feet, sitting lazily, playing cards, and when they saw someone coming, they just waved their hands to signal that they knew.

Zheng Qing swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

"According to the regulations, I can't go in." Manager Xiaoyuan pushed open the door, gestured to invite in, and smiled apologetically.

It was dark inside the door, and the threshold was a foot high.

Zheng Qing looked at it and carefully stepped over the threshold.

The wooden door closed gently behind him.

Dim, quiet, coupled with the fragrance of heavy wood, Zheng Qing's originally tense heart gradually calmed down.

The house is large and empty.

Burning torches hung on the surrounding walls.

In the center of the room, there is a huge counter. This is the most conspicuous thing in the house.

A pile of gray hair trembled in the firelight above the counter.

"Is anyone there?" Zheng Qing's throat was a little dry, and his voice seemed a little trembling.

Swallowing, he walked to the counter, ready to say hello again.

Before he could speak, the pile of gray hair suddenly floated up.

A dry, wrinkled old man's face, like a dried walnut, appeared in his sight.

Zheng Qing was startled, reached out and grabbed the gray cloth bag from his bosom,

The old man's dull eyes rolled and slid across the cloth bag. Then he lowered his head, and the shriveled walnut disappeared behind the large table.

"Hello," Zheng Qing moved back, away from the counter.

Then he hesitated, and bowed slightly.

Raising his head, the old man had already moved up again, his wrinkled face was almost pressed against Zheng Qing's body, his dark eyes stared at him firmly without a trace of life.

"Hello, that..." Zheng Qing was taken aback, and wanted to back away, but the old man stretched out his right hand without any hesitation, grabbed him by the collar, and pulled him to the front.

Although he looked like a skinny little old man, his hands were like iron pliers, strangling Zheng Qing's neck so painfully.

"Yes, yes, I understand."

Before Zheng Qing could speak, the old man's murmured voice sounded ethereal in this quiet room: "A very powerful soul, very powerful, although it is chaotic and complicated, it contains a pure aura. I have never seen such a powerful soul. I have never felt this way before, don't worry, I have everything ready, and you will have a powerful wizard book."
