Text Chapter 152 wants to interpret the ancient characters Ning Hongtai
In Southeast City, the disaster has just ended, and people seem to have forgotten the sadness caused by the disaster, and there is no abnormal expression on their faces, as if nothing happened to them and they are living their lives. At this time, three people came from Southeast City, their faces were nervous, and their eyes looked around, as if they were afraid of something. The three of them are none other than Wells, Langemins, and Pallist, but their appearance has changed a little, they have slightly changed their appearance, and they look like Chinese people, and it is difficult to recognize them without looking closely.
"Wells, are you sure there are people in Southeastern City who know ancient characters?" Longemins asked Wells as he looked around from time to time. Ancient characters are very important to them, and they must know them as soon as possible in order to get the corpse hand. Wells heard Langemins ask, not very sure: "There is a place that may know. ”
"Where is it?" Pallister was also curious, and couldn't help but ask.
"Just follow me. Wells paused, glanced at them, and his words were full of warning, "Langomins, Pylist, remember, we have made a deal, and the corpse hand and the blood cup belong to my blood. Wells reminded him that he knew in his heart that it was unlikely that he would want them to give up the corpse hands and the blood cup. Wells naturally didn't fully believe them, looking at their appearance, it seemed that they were more anxious than him, and Wells was wary in his heart.
"Rest assured. Langomins laughed, "The corpse is yours." "Langemins has an obvious meaning, the corpse belongs to you, he will not fight, but he did not say that the blood cup is also Wells's, and the implication is that he will not give up.
Wells didn't refute, thinking that the corpse will deal with you when it's in hand, and the blood cup will end up in my hands.
The three of them had their own thoughts, and they came to a ten-story building, and they saw six big characters, the Institute of Paleography, which was their destination. The three of them walked into the Institute of Paleography and were greeted by a middle-aged security guard.
"Three, please stay. The security guard stopped Wells, Langomins, and Pyliste and continued, "What's the matter with the three?"
Wells straightened his collar with a smile on his face, "Hello, we're here to find Professor Ning Hongtaining." ”
The security guard glanced at him and asked, "Who are you?" and the security guard was vigilant to confirm their identity. Professor Ning Hongtaining is a professor at the Institute of Paleography and has been engaged in the study of paleographies for more than 50 years and is an expert in paleographies.
Wells also knew that if he wanted to see Ning Hongtai, he had to pass the level in front of him, and Wells had a smile on his face, but he was thinking about how to deal with it in his heart.
"We are lovers of ancient characters and recently found an ancient character that we had a hard time recognizing. Professor Ning is an expert in paleographies, and we would like to meet Professor Ning and ask for advice. After speaking, Wells took out the ancient words written down and asked the security guard to look at them.
The security guard was a little unbelieving at first, but when he saw the ancient characters that Wells took out, the security guard immediately believed it. The security guard has worked in the Institute of Paleography for many years, and he knows a little about ancient characters, and he can even recognize a few ancient characters under the influence of ink. The security guard just glanced at it and knew that this ancient word was not ordinary, had a long history, and had a kind of vicissitudes.
"Please wait a minute, I'll inform Professor Ning. Seeing the ancient characters, the security guard's attitude was much better, and he left immediately and notified Ning Hongtai.
"Wells, who is Ning Hongtai? do you know him?" Langemins asked, wondering in his heart, how could Wells know the people in the paleography research institute, and even named Ning Hongtai, who seemed to know him well.
"Ning Hongtai is an expert in ancient characters, if there is anyone in Southeast City who knows ancient characters, he must be. Wells glanced at Langemins and said lightly: "Check more information, you will always know." ”
Soon, the security guard came back, and with him came back a white-haired old man, plainly dressed, a little white, and there were a few patches, the old man was seventy years old, in good spirits, and a pair of eyes were bright, as if he could see through people's hearts.
"Professor Ning, it's the three of them. The security guard said, "They have an ancient character and want to ask Professor Ning." ”
Ning Hongtai looked at Wells, Langemmings, and Pyliste with sharp eyes. Wells, Langemins, and Pyliste were looked at by Ning Hongtai, and they were a little nervous in their hearts, as if their minds were being seen through. The three of them took a deep breath and calmed down.
"The three are not Chinese. Ning Hongtai saw it at a glance. Although Wells, Langemins, and Palliste changed their faces, they were broken by Ning Hongtai. Without waiting for Wells to explain, Ning Hongtai spoke again: "You have ancient characters?"
"Professor Ning's eyes are like torches. Wells smiled and said, "We are Westerners, and the reason why we came here like this is really a helpless move, please don't blame Professor Ning." The three of us have been passionate about Chinese history since childhood, especially ancient Chinese characters, and they are like beautiful women, full of charm and attracting us to explore. ”
"Professor Ning also knows the situation in the West and China. Wells' face was gloomy, "I hope to be able to be a family." ”
Ning Hongtai nodded, he knew the situation in the West and Huaxia, and for him, he didn't like the West in his heart. However, he is a scholar, and Guzi is his life, and he dedicates everything to Guzi. As long as they were not hostile to Huaxia, Ning Hongtai was still willing to communicate with them.
"This time, the three of us found an ancient character, checked the information, and none of us recognized the ancient character, so we came to disturb Professor Ning. As soon as Wells finished speaking, he took out the ancient characters. Ning Hongtai saw the ancient characters, and was attracted at the moment, staring at the ancient characters with his eyes, this ancient character, he had never seen before.
"Follow me. Ning Hongtai suppressed the excitement in his heart and took Wells and them upstairs. The three of Wells smiled triumphantly, and the three of them followed Ning Hongtai. Ning Hongtai took the three of Wells into a room and said to the security guard, "Don't let anyone disturb me. The security guard nodded, took the door, and stood outside.
"Quick, put the ancient words on it. Ning Hongtai hurriedly cleaned up, vacated a table, spread a blank piece of paper, prepared pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and anxiously asked Wells to put the ancient characters on it. Wells smiled knowingly and placed the ancient words on the table. Ning Hongtai's trembling hand picked up a vermilion brush, looked focused, and wrote out the ancient characters.
There are dozens of ancient characters, and it took Ning Hongtai a minute to write. After putting the pen away, Ning Hongtai immediately asked, "Where did you get this ancient character?" Ning Hongtai's face was serious, and when he wrote the ancient character, he faintly felt that this ancient character was not ordinary, and he felt trapped.
Ning Hongtai has studied a lot of ancient characters, and knows some things that others don't know, and each ancient character has a different role. Ning Hongtai remembered that he got an ancient character on a bronze tripod, and he smelled a bitter taste of herbs in the tripod, and later, Ning Hongtai decoded the word, which was a "medicine" word. Ning Hongtai also understood that this bronze tripod was used for refining medicine. Now, Ning Hongtai just wrote this ancient character, he felt a sense of restraint, and knew in his heart that this ancient character was extraordinary, not comparable to other ancient characters, and the origin of the ancient character was not an ordinary place.
Wells was alert in his heart, he didn't know what Ning Hongtai meant, the secret of the ancient characters could never be told to Ning Hongtai, Wells rolled his eyes and replied: "Professor Ning, this ancient character is what we got from a stone tablet, and the stone tablet was discovered when we were on vacation at the beach. Now, the stele is broken, and we have to write down the ancient characters, Professor Ning, is there something wrong with the ancient characters?"
Ning Hongtai shook his head, he felt that things were not so simple, and years of experience told him that the other party was not telling the truth. Ning Hongtai didn't refute either, "This ancient character looks like it's a long history, it's something I've never seen before, it's of great value, and it's worth studying." ”
Don't know? Wells's heart sank, and Ning Hongtai didn't know either, "Professor Ning, can you decipher the ancient characters?" This is the point, it's okay if you don't know it, as long as you can remove the ancient characters.
"Yes, though, I need time. Ning Hongtai pondered for a moment and said, "About a week." ”
"A week? Wells felt that it was acceptable, as long as he unraveled the ancient characters, killed Ning Hongtai, got the corpse hand, killed the Bear King, Langemins, Pylist, and then got the blood cup, perfect, Wells couldn't help but fantasize.
"Professor Ning, I'm sorry for your please, if you need it, please don't be polite. Wells handed over a business card, which he had prepared. Ning Hongtai didn't look at it carefully, and put it aside after taking it, which made Wells unhappy, thinking that Ning Hongtai still needed to unravel the ancient characters, Wells didn't show it.
"Professor Ning, farewell. After Wells finished speaking, he had already gone out without waiting for Ning Hongtai to speak. Ning Hongtai glanced at the ancient characters, and suddenly felt uneasy in his heart, as if something was about to happen. Ning Hongtai naturally didn't believe what they said, not long after the three Wells left, Ning Hongtai called the security guard and asked him to inquire about the identities of the three Wells. After arranging, Ning Hongtai looked at the ancient characters, and he wanted to unravel the ancient characters.
The three Wells left, they didn't go far, and chose a hotel near the Institute of Paleography. They were always monitoring Ning Hongtai's movements, and they were not at ease, first, they were worried that Ning Hongtai would release their news, and secondly, in order to get the ancient characters as soon as possible.
In the room, as soon as the three of them sat down, Pyliste couldn't help but ask Wells, "Do you believe that Ning Hongtai can really solve the ancient characters in a week?"
"We have to trust him now. Wells is also not sure, although Ning Hongtai is an expert in the study of ancient characters, Wells does not dare to guarantee success, he is also gambling, "If Ning Hongtai can solve the best, if we can't solve it, we can only think of another way, in short, Ning Hongtai can't stay." ”
Ning Hongtai already knew the ancient characters, although he didn't know the use of the ancient characters, Wells couldn't keep him, this was what he had decided a long time ago, Ning Hongtai had to die, only the dead could keep the secret.
"We're not going to do anything now, waiting for him?" asked Langemins, the dull wait of all tedious, and Langemins was reluctant to do so.
"If you're bored, you can go out, but you have to remember that you can't reveal your identity. Wells reminded that now they can be said to be hiding, not exposed.
"Don't worry, it's just for fun, the women in Huaxia are still very good. Langemins looked at Pyrliste with a smile, "Together?"
"Let's go. Pallister got up and left.
