Chapter 3: Tianwen
"At the beginning of ancient times, who preached the word? up and down as the form, how to test it? (1), who can ...... extremely much", the young man of the young eagle guard listened to Jiang Chen read the words written on the huge stone tablet word by word, and some of the words even Jiang Chen did not know, so he read very slowly. It took three quarters of an hour for Jiang Chen to stumble and finish reading all the boulder inscriptions, and after listening to Jiang Chen's recitation, everyone felt that the things described in this inscription were obscure, and they were all ignorant. Although there are also reasons why Jiang Chen does not know all the words, most of them are because of the things and people described in this inscription, which these teenagers have never heard of at all.
The full text of this huge monument called "Tianwen" has a total of 3,365 sentences, of which there are 1,000 and 1 questions, and the content involved is all-encompassing, from the nine heavens of heaven to the mountains and rivers and folk customs.
Jiang Chen was able to know this gluttonous text because Yue Shutong liked the gold and stone inscriptions very much, and he had a deep study of the ancient characters that had been lost. Under the influence of Yue Shutong, Jiang Chen also learned a lot of ancient characters, including this gluttonous script. Jiang Chen looked at the gluttonous words on the inscription that he didn't know, and while thinking about rubbing this inscription and showing it to Yue Shutong for study, the old man must be interested. While listening to the discussion of a group of teenagers, some thought that this was an inscription of ancient cultivation theory, and some directly believed that this inscription contained the secrets of those powerful powers that could fly to the sky and move the earth in ancient times, and contained ancient cultivation methods.
However, Jiang Chen was more interested in the names of those who were not found in the scriptures and history, such as: Who are the two emperors of Taigu? Who are Feng Yi and Da Bing who can use the sky as the car cover, the earth as the carriage, the four o'clock as the horse, and the yin and yang as the emperor? Seeing that Jiang Chen was still standing in front of the inscription and studying it carefully, Yu Chi De stepped forward and asked in a mysterious whisper: "Ah Chen, what do you think of this inscription?"
Jiang Chen looked at the sneaky Wei Chide, couldn't help but be a little funny, and asked with a smile: "What do you think this inscription says?" Wei Chide scratched his head and said angrily: "How do I know? You know the words on it, but I don't know it." β
"You're justified. When Grandpa Yue taught us a lesson, you were either stunned or confused. Jiang Chen said angrily.
Yu Chide smiled and said: "Isn't this with you! You learn to learn to me, which of the two of us is with whom." After Wei Chide finished speaking, he glanced around casually, and found that Zhao Rong approached a few steps in front of the two of them at some point, and was eavesdropping on the two of them.
Then he shouted loudly and asked, "Zhao Rong, why are you so close to the two of us?" Do you want to eavesdrop on me and Ah Chen?" Zhao Rong's face was slightly red and said angrily: "I look at the words on the stone tablet! Wei Chide sneered: "Can you understand? It's not ...... yet" was about to say something more, but Jiang Chen stopped him.
Jiang Chen looked at the group of teenagers and said, "I can actually only read, but I can't understand the meaning, and I don't know a lot of the words on this stone tablet, but I think the words recorded on this stone tablet may be the words of ancient cultivators thinking about the way of heaven and earth." After a pause, he continued: "If you are interested, you can print this inscription another day, study it in your spare time, or send it to the elders in your family." Now hurry up and cultivate!"
These young people couldn't figure out anything for a while, and when they heard Jiang Chen say this, some of them had already dispersed, and they were going to bring all the tools to rub them down tomorrow and send them to the elders in the family for a detailed reference. Some teenagers are still standing next to the stele and are reluctant to leave, wanting to see what is going on, and some of them are sticking to the stele, as if feeling something, and some inject their aura into the stele, and there is no reaction when they find the stele.
Jiang Chen did not ask everyone to keep the secrets here, and saw that there were still teenagers standing next to the stone monument, using some whimsical methods to explore the stone monument, some of these teenagers were influenced by fantasy novels, thinking that this was an adventure, and wanted to see the secret that others could not see. Jiang Chen shook his head helplessly, looking at the teenagers who were still reluctant to leave, he didn't step forward to stop them, he just felt funny.
When he was about to leave, he saw that Zhao Rong was still next to the stele, staring at the words in an area on the stele. After thinking for a while, he stepped forward, and when Chi De saw this, he also walked forward with Jiang Chen. I only heard Jiang Chen say, "What about it?"
Zhao Rong looked at Jiang Chen, and then at Wei Chide, who was following Jiang Chen, but he didn't speak, turned his head and continued to pretend to look at the text in the low-level area above the stone stele. Jiang Chen saw Zhao Rong like this, and thought that Zhao Rong had not been able to let go of the contradictions between several people until now.
But Jiang Chen didn't want the previous contradictory relationship between the three to exist. Just a few days ago, the group led by Zhao Rong almost clashed with the Wei Chide group, but fortunately, Chen Mingzhi was also present at the time, and the two did not dare to expand the situation, he always wanted to find an opportunity to talk to Zhao Rong about what happened to the three of them before. After all, now he and Zhao Rong are comrades in the army, if they continue like this, it is really not conducive to the unity of this team of only 100 people, and it will gradually form a situation of forming gangs and factions, and it is not conducive to future battles.
Jiang Chen saw that Zhao Rong didn't mean to communicate with the two, so he smiled to himself and said, "Zhao Rong, I should have called you big brother, who told you that you were born two months earlier than me." β
Zhao Rong heard Jiang Chen say this, looked at Jiang Chen in surprise, and didn't know what to say for a while. And Wei Chide looked at Jiang Chen in surprise, but he didn't interrupt Jiang Chen's words recklessly, Jiang Chen has always been more stable than him, and he also wanted to hear what Jiang Chen wanted to say to Zhao Rong.
I only heard Jiang Chen continue: "Before I came to the northern border, I had already learned from my mother about what had happened to their generation in detail. But those things, in fact, have nothing to do with our generation, they have been influenced by their families to slowly come to the opposite side. And there is actually no big contradiction between the three of us, it is entirely because of the disputes of the previous generation, the three of us will always look at each other like this, and the other party is not pleasing to each other. Do you think that's the case?" Jiang Chen asked towards Zhao Rong.
Zhao Rong couldn't help but nodded, he didn't like Jiang Chen at the beginning, firstly, because Jiang Chen was in the limelight on the first day of the cultivation class, but the most important thing was because of his father and mother, since he was a child, he said some bad things about Zhao Qin'er and others in his ear, and sometimes said some Jiang Chen's rights and wrongs, Zhao Rong was affected by these, so he would always target Jiang Chen, Yu Chide and Yue Wujing.
After Yue Wujing left, Jiang Chen's side lacked an extremely important combat power, and he thought that he could take advantage of the opportunity, so he would frequently make appointments with Jiang Chen and the others, wanting the shame of losing the first battle with Jiang Chen and others, but he didn't expect that Jiang Chen, who was a martial cultivator, would always press himself, and the gap was getting bigger and bigger, and in the end, even Wei Chide, who he had always looked down on, surpassed him, and he was unwilling to admit defeat, so he would find trouble with Jiang Chen and the others whenever he had the opportunity.
looked at Zhao Rong, who was deep in thought, and then looked at Wei Chide beside him with the same expression. Jiang Chen continued: "We are now a military uniform, and the previous contradictions were simply childish behaviors between children. Now that we have all grown up, there is a wider world waiting for us to break through. Moreover, the seniors in the army said something that I remember deeply: 'When you fall into death, only the sword and sword in your hand and the robe by your side can be trusted.' Xue'er has left Jiunao Prefecture to see the outside world, so as a man, we should abandon our previous suspicions, let go of the previous unworthy contradictions, and go together to see how wonderful the world is. β
Jiang Chen's last sentence was said to Wei Chide, and after he finished saying this, he stopped speaking, and he fell into his thoughts. He didn't think that Zhao Rong would immediately promise him to abandon the original contradiction between the three of them that was destined to be-for-tat from birth. And from childhood to the present, there are many conflicts between the three of them, and it is impossible to resolve them with a few simple words. He's just doing his best to unite the Eagle Guard, and that's what it's his job to do.
He also felt it after reading this "Tianwen" today, so he talked to Zhao Rong about it. Jiang Chen looked at the silent Zhao Rong, and didn't want to say anything more, he had already thrown out an olive branch, as for whether he took it or not, it was his own business, if there was a war in the future, because of the contradictions between the three of them, he Zhao Rong would not respect the order, causing serious consequences, and he would have his own military law to deal with it.
After Jiang Chen finished speaking, he pulled Yu Chide and left the "Tianwen" stele. When the two of them walked some distance away from the stone stele, they only heard Wei Chide ask, "Ah Chen, do you really plan to reconcile with that Zhao Rong and stop looking for trouble with him?"
"Of course. Jiang Chen said categorically: "Since coming into contact with those veterans who survived a hundred battles, don't you think that our previous behavior is really too naΓ―ve? There is not much grudge, and now we are both young eagles and guards, and we are a whole, if we are not united internally, how can we work together externally." β
Wei Chide looked at Jiang Chen and nodded and said, "I listen to you, if Zhao Rong doesn't take the initiative to provoke me in the future, I won't go to him for trouble." β
Jiang Chen nodded, he was already very satisfied with Yu Chide's answer, and he couldn't ask too much of Yu Chide. After all, he can't repay his grievances with virtue now, and what he can't do himself, so don't force others to be a person who can't fight back and scold and don't fight back.
After Jiang Chen and Wei Chide walked out of a distance, Jiang Chen looked back at Zhao Rong, who was still near the stele, and then looked up at the giant stele, I don't know if it was because he was dazzled, or what was going on, he found that the eyes of the two dragons engraved on the stele moved at the same time. When I looked at it carefully, the stele was exactly the same as when everyone first saw it, looking at Jiang Chen stunned and looking in the direction of the stele, Yu Chide also glanced back, and found nothing abnormal, and called Jiang Chen, who was stunned, and the two immediately returned to the place where the young eagle guards were concentrated, and continued their respective cultivation.
Zhao Rong, who was under the stele, looked at Jiang Chen and the others who walked away, thinking in his heart whether what Jiang Chen just said was true or false, from the beginning of the intensive training in Feng'an City to the present, he could be regarded as having an understanding of Jiang Chen's character, and he used to only know some of the entanglements between his father and Jiang Chen's mother and others from hearsay and his mother's mouth. Since the contact, whether it is Jiang Chen's own efforts and extremely intelligent talents, he has been catching up with Jiang Chen in the past four months, wanting to compete with Jiang Chen, but seeing that Jiang Chen is increasingly among the young people of the Eagle Guard, establishing his own prestige, even if it is the teenager in the group he leads, when talking about Jiang Chen, there are many praises and few evil words.
Since Jiang Chen took over the command of the Eagle Guard, he has tried his best to be fair and just in everything, and after these nobles are all convinced. And since Jiang Chen defeated Chen Mingzhi, who had the highest force value among them, with his martial arts body, these teenagers could be regarded as admitting Jiang Chen, who was only fifteen years old, and his identity as the captain of the Eagle Guard, when he was training on weekdays, he also aimed at Jiang Chen, hoping to catch up with Jiang Chen one day. Moreover, the reward and punishment system promulgated by Jiang Chen was also accepted by everyone, after all, they were not willing to be subordinate to others all the time.
Zhao Rong thought about the bits and pieces he had experienced in the past few months, thought about what Jiang Chen had just said, and remembered the words that his father had explained to him when he was leaving. Although Zhao Lingwu did not reveal Zhao Lingyun's plan to Zhao Rong, before leaving, his words were full of worries about Zhao Rong's departure to the border, after all, the two armies will not care about your identity, and although Zhao Lingwu does not know much about Zhao Lingyun's plan, Zhao Lingyun did not say much to him, just let him do his own thing, but Zhao Lingwu can vaguely sense that Zhao Lingyun is targeting Jin, The situation set up by the two Xia countries is about to be launched, and a full-scale war is about to break out between the three kingdoms, so Zhao Rong is also full of worries about joining the army at this time, after all, tiger poison does not eat children.
Zhao Rong thought about his father's worries about himself before leaving, which was the rare time Zhao Rong felt the fatherly love in Zhao Lingwu. So when he heard what Jiang Chen said to him, Zhao Rong's heart was also touched a lot, and he didn't want his father and mother to send black-haired people to make them sad. But Zhao Rong also has his own pride, although Jiang Chen first threw out a good olive branch, but he didn't want to immediately reach a reconciliation with Jiang Chen and Wei Chide, but the idea in his heart was the same as Yu Chide.
Zhao Rong watched Jiang Chen's figures disappear into his field of vision, hesitated in front of the stone tablet for a while, looked at the hour, and found that it was almost noon, and he was about to start the regular training of the Eagle Guard collective, so he left to find his team members.
After all the young people of the Eagle Guard left the stele, the stele of "Tianwen" that had regained the light of day stood quietly in the valley, washed by the rich aura in the valley, as if it was slightly different from before, slowly changing inside it at a speed invisible to the naked eye, and no one knew how long it would take to regain its former glory.
