Chapter 443: Great Culture (Text)
The traces of these fonts are not very deep, it seems that the person who carved them deliberately, and the lighting in this place is extremely poor, Zhang Meng and they don't say translation, but they have to read the text on it clearly, which is a little difficult.
After more than a minute, Zhang Meng could be regarded as seeing the first character clearly, and Xiaolou was also so anxious that he was sweating, and it seemed that the progress was very slow.
"No, Ah Meng, there's no way to read these fonts clearly! These dents are ridiculously shallow......"
Xiao Lou said anxiously.
Zhang Meng also had a headache, his heart moved, and suddenly grabbed a large handful of sand on the ground, and then poured a little water on it, and then kneaded the small handful of sand in his hand a few times as if it were flour, and then touched the stone slab, he patted the soil with his palm, and then the sapper shovel stuck to the slate and shoveled the sand.
Suddenly, the shallow indentations were submerged into the fine sand, which was completely different from the color of the bluestone slabs, and it was clear at a glance.
"Awesome!"
Xiao Lou said excitedly, and he and Zhang Meng hurriedly studied the words separately.
When Zhang Meng saw it, his heart suddenly felt cold, on the stone slab, it was neither those ancient pictures and words, nor some other ancient texts he knew.
On top are some cumbersome and complex strokes similar to traditional Chinese characters.
In fact, a kind of writing can represent what kind of height their civilization reached at that time, the more complex the writing, the higher their civilization process, because it means that these words have become a mainstream communication language in society, like those oracle bone civilizations, in fact, they represent the simplest civilization.
And the words they saw at the moment were completely impossible to judge the meaning of the words from those deviations and other things. This is like a big professor abroad, no matter how developed his head is, when he sees the Chinese he has never learned, he will never be able to see its meaning.
Because it takes a long time to learn, it has nothing to do with being smart or not.
Zhang Meng shook his head with a wry smile, he looked at Xiao Lou, and Xiao Lou was also at a loss.
"These words can't be translated."
Zhang Meng said with a wry smile, he didn't even bother to memorize it.
Because the things in front of him, even if he memorized them all, it was meaningless, and there was no way to decipher these words.
Unless they can get the most basic literal texts, which are like Chinese dictionary meanings, each character and each side are split out and translated in a script that Zhang Meng can read, there will never be a key to translation of this text.
"I said why don't you read more fucking books, this Nima is guarding Baoshan, hurry up and show the fat man a few places where the treasure is buried, you see that the fat man is going to die or shovel out this place, and he almost sacrificed all!"
The fat man's eyes turned red when he heard this.
"You see for yourself, if you can read a word, I won't be surnamed Zhang in the future, and your surname will be fat." Zhang Meng said angrily.
"Just look at it, don't think that the fat man is the kind of illiterate little friend."
The fat man chattered, and he walked up to Zhang Meng and the fonts they had made, and the voice was suddenly choked and stopped.
"This ...... This...... What the hell is this? ”
The fat man was dumbfounded, and it took a long time to hold back such a sentence.
"Let's go, there's no way to translate it, so there's no need to waste time."
Zhang Meng was helpless.
It's like asking them to predict the future, looking at more developed words to predict their culture at that time, it's impossible, because in the era of the Exquisite Ancient City, maybe there are more advanced things in their country than now, Zhang Meng and they have never seen them, so even if 'they' use the shape of this thing to become a font, Zhang Meng and they can't understand what this represents.
Just like when translating oracle bone inscriptions, the symbol is an axe, and we understand that this character must have something to do with an axe, it may be a metal tool, or it may be about an axe cutting a tree or something, these can be guessed.
Zhang Meng can really be sure now that in this exquisite ancient city, their technology has really reached a very terrifying level!
Maybe it won't be lower than the current technology, but they must have their own unique things, and Zhang Meng doesn't know anything about them.
"Clean up the sand."
Ye Jiu said suddenly, he squatted in front of the stone slab, and the expression in his eyes seemed strange.
Zhang Meng asked with some doubts: "Brother Jiu'er, can you read it?" ”
Ye Jiu shook his head and nodded again, not knowing what he meant.
Zhang Meng forcibly suppressed the curiosity in his heart, and he, Xiaolou and the fat man hurriedly helped clean up the sand on the stone slab.
The vines over there were already visibly turbulent, they seemed to have dug too deep into the ground before hesitating, and now they were trying to pull them up.
Ye Jiu didn't seem to hear the sound of those vines at all, he stared at the words, and his expression was still a little confused at first.
But his speed seemed to be getting faster and faster, and he kept walking around.
Zhang Meng couldn't hide the shock in his heart, Zhang Meng couldn't understand how Ye Jiu could understand this kind of text.
Has Ah Jiu seen this kind of writing before?
Zhang Meng secretly guessed, but he didn't think it was normal.
They didn't seem to find anything at that time, so they kicked out the army, and this news was also confirmed by Wang Daxian and Lady Na, this should not be wrong, so how could he read these words?
Could it be that they had seen these words somewhere else, and even had them interpreted?
……
……
One question mark after another popped up from Zhang Meng's head, he really couldn't suppress the curiosity in his heart, Zhang Meng couldn't wait to grab Ye Jiu and ask clearly, but now was obviously not the time, Zhang Meng could only desperately shovel the soil and let himself divert his attention.
Ye Jiu's mouth kept muttering to himself, and the expression on his face became very strange.
seemed to be shocked all of a sudden, and suddenly became very depressed, this expression was not only Zhang Meng, but the fat man also showed a hellish look.
What is recorded on these words, it will actually make Ye Jiuqing so out of control.
"Hahahahahaha
Ye Jiu suddenly burst out laughing wildly, and the corners of his eyes seemed to burst into tears.
"What's wrong?"
Zhang Meng and the fat man froze instantly, they looked at Ye Jiu's crazy appearance, and they didn't know what to say for a while.
"Brother Jiu'er, are you okay?"
Zhang Meng asked softly.
"I see, I see, I ...... so"
Ye Jiu didn't answer Zhang Meng's words at all, he muttered in a low voice, his expression was weird.
