Chapter 203 Xi Language

When the two young men saw Professor Mu take out the yellow cloth, their expressions became even more serious and vigilant.

Professor Mu put the yellow cloth on the table and slowly opened it layer by layer, Lin Haoxuan and Xiao Jing took a closer look, there was a palm-sized cowhide inside, this map was a little small, the color was old, it seemed that it had been experienced for a certain number of years.

Professor Mu slowly moved in front of Lin Haoxuan like a baby, and Zhou Jia also looked at Lin Haoxuan with a solemn expression.

Lin Haoxuan's afterglow swept to Zhou Jia, and he always felt that she was looking forward to something more than Professor Mu.

The words on the cowhide map are really a bit small, if it weren't for the branches and vines drawn on the map, Lin Haoxuan would have thought that it was just a small piece of dirty cowhide.

Professor Mu then handed Lin Haoxuan a magnifying glass, Lin Haoxuan took it, looked at it carefully, and said in surprise: "Could it be the ancient script of the Xi tribe?" ”

Professor Mu and Zhou Jia's faces immediately swelled with excitement and nervousness, and they said in unison again, "Do you see that it is the ancient script of the Xi tribe?" ”

"I just happen to recognize a word or two on the map." Lin Haoxuan nodded and said lightly: "The Xi language belongs to the Chinese family.

The ancestors of the Xi people once created their own script, called "Xi Wen". ”

Shaped like oracle bones and gold scripts, it is an ancient script that is 1,800 years old, but has just over 300 words and is mostly used for witchcraft. These texts are all transcribed and transcribed, and there is no engraving and printing, but the Xixi scripts are basically the same everywhere. ”

Professor Mu and the others listened carefully to Lin Haoxuan's narration, and Xiao Jing's spoon also stopped stirring the coffee, quietly observing the person he liked, and there was a kind of pride in his heart.

Lin Haoxuan slowly put the magnifying glass on the table and continued to speak: "Perhaps for the convenience of migration, for thousands of years, the inheritance of the ancient characters of the Xi people has generally been carried out through two ways of hand-copying and inheritance, that is, ancestral transmission and selection of apprentices.

Either way, only men are preached, not women, so more and more Xi languages are gradually being lost.

I think the words on this cowhide map are basically the lost ancient characters of the Xi people, so Professor Mu will be at a loss. ”

Professor Mu nodded excitedly and said happily: "Student Lin, what you said is right, it took us a lot of effort to judge that it belongs to the ancient script of the Xi tribe, and we also asked experts to interpret it."

In half a year, only a dozen ancient characters were interpreted, and they could no longer be interpreted; I didn't expect that Mr. Lin could see it at a glance and recognize one or two of the words, which is really not simple. ”

Lin Haoxuan smiled and said humbly: "Yunnaxi is also one of the birthplaces of traditional Chinese medicine, I just recognize one or two words on the map, although there are only more than 100 ancient characters of the Xi tribe on this cowhide map, if my guess is right, these more than 100 words will be the key to this cowhide map."

These more than 100 ancient characters of the Xi tribe are not read out of this map. Then he sighed and said regretfully: "That's really a waste map, and no one wants to throw it on the street." ”

Zhou Jia couldn't wait to say: "Student Lin, if it takes a certain amount of time, can you read it all?" Of course, Professor Mu won't let you read it in vain, how about a thousand yuan per word? ”

Professor Mu looked at Lin Haoxuan nervously again, hoping that Lin Haoxuan could surprise him again.

Xiao Jing was secretly shocked in her heart, a thousand yuan per word, this money is really easy to earn, but it is really not easy to earn.

Lin Haoxuan hesitated, smiled slightly, and said lightly: "No, I just read so many words, but I only recognize one or two, and I'm afraid it's impossible to interpret them all." ”

Zhou Zhou Jia showed a look of disappointment and sighed softly, but Lin Haoxuan couldn't interpret it, which was already expected by them, how could the young Lin Haoxuan interpret the ancient characters of the Xi Clan, which even countless experts couldn't do.

Professor Mu noticed Lin Haoxuan's hesitant expression, and his heart moved, but he didn't speak anymore.

Xiao Jing thought of a good suggestion, and suddenly said: "It turned out to be the ancient script of the Xi people, I think, Professor Mu can go directly to the Xi nationality inhabited area of Xi Autonomous County, Yunna Province to ask, there are still many Mr. Xi Bi." ”

"What is Mr. Creek Pen?" Zhou Jia was stunned for a moment, and asked at the exit.

Xiao Jing smiled, her well-read demeanor was unconsciously revealed, and she said softly and elegantly: "In the Xi tribe, "Xi Bi" is like a private school of the Han people, and it is an ancient text that specializes in educating the people of the Xi tribe. ”

Professor Mu glanced at Xiao Jing approvingly, this woman is really a talented woman, but it is a pity that she refuses to be her assistant, otherwise with her help, she will be like a tiger in the archaeological community, and even go down in history.

Zhou Jia's eyes bloomed with a kind of light, and she said to Professor Mu: "Professor Mu, I think this method is feasible, let's quickly arrange time to go to the place where the Xi people gather and see if anyone can interpret it." ”

Professor Mu nodded, and said lightly: "Don't be in a hurry for a while, there are times in life that you have to have, and there is no time in life to force it, when I meet a few experts here in He Nan, there is really no clue, so we will go to Yunna." ”

Lin Haoxuan looked at Professor Mu apologetically, and said embarrassedly: "Professor Mu, I'm really sorry, I didn't help you." ”

Professor Mu smiled and said meaningfully, "Lin Haoxuan, you have helped me a lot, at least let me reaffirm its value.

I really want someone to read it out with me, to dig it up together, and if there is a treasure, to bring this national medical treasure back to the world for the benefit of the world. ”

As soon as she got into the car, Xiao Jing was thoughtful, her beautiful eyes flashed, she looked at Professor Mu and Zhou Yijia who were still inside, turned her head and said to Lin Haoxuan: "Do you think Zhou Yijia is a little weird?"

"Put the cart before the horse!"

Lin Haoxuan spit out these four words indifferently, there was no ripple in his eyes, and slowly started the BMW car and drove in the direction of Wanshan Mansion.

Xiao Jing nodded hurriedly and said approvingly: "Yes, yes, you are right, this is the feeling, her little assistant seems to be more fanatical and anxious than Professor Mu." ”

"She's not an assistant at all, and she should be quite wealthy, if my guess is correct, the cow-coaxed car at the door is Zhou Jia's." Lin Haoxuan smiled slightly, turned the car around, and overtook a Hummer with a military license plate, but a little dangling.

Xiao Jing was slightly surprised, and asked puzzledly, "How do you see it?" I only found Zhou Jia's behavior weird, but you can see her identity?

She didn't wear any expensive jewelry, and the clothes on her body weren't luxury brands. ”

Lin Haoxuan sighed softly and said: "Women are always easy to show flaws in details, although Zhou Yijia did not wear gold and silver, her hand cream betrayed her identity. ”
