A piercing coldness woke up Cheng Yuan, who was originally asleep......

Cheng Yuan opened his eyes, and at this time these days, he wished he was awakened by the sound of an alarm clock and slept on a comfortable latex mattress at home. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 However, every time he wakes up, he is accompanied by this depression that is characteristic of the morning.

Originally, since he was a child, he was a person who loved the morning. Morning is the beginning of a new day, and it means that the expectations for the day are about to come true. What's more, people will enter a very calm state in the morning.

Why did the ancients sit in the morning and watch things? Chengyuan thought of this question inexplicably.

The specific source is very vague for him, maybe it's "Zhou Li" again, but at this moment he patted his head and thought of it: Maybe because the morning can make people reach a surprisingly calm state.

Zeng Zi said: "I will save my body three times a day." Since he was a child, Chengyuan's father has used this sentence to educate him, making him often reflect on whether he has done things that are unfaithful, untrustworthy, and unlearned. Now that I think about it, the most effective introspection is in the morning. Well, people can get excited in the afternoons and evenings, so go to bars, visit green houses, and recite poems. Writers stay up late at night to catch up on their manuscripts, because people are the most likely to inspire them at night. Some companies brainwash customers when they talk about business, and they are also used to having a few women at the evening banquet, and the success rate is higher.

And when they first wake up in the morning, due to a sense of physical and psychological contraction, people will feel that some behaviors under the excitement of the previous day suddenly lose their sense of excitement, and sometimes recall the stupid thoughts of the previous day and even feel embarrassed and ridiculous.

Cheng Yuan found himself asleep sitting in front of the bookcase, he broke his legs and struggled to get up, although he had often practiced kneeling during his recent house arrest, but he could only sit cross-legged for less than two hours. He opened the window to enjoy the fresh air outside, but was stunned by the sight in front of him!

Outside, it was snow-white, and the earth and the roof were already covered with a layer of silver. Last night's gentle spring rain, I don't know when it turned into snow.

Flying snow in February, for the literati is naturally a good scenery of Yongwu Yanzhi, I grew up in the south, and occasionally see flying snow will be very excited. Han Yu's good sentence "The snow is too late in spring, so the trees in the garden are flying flowers" is a praise for the snow in early spring. But at this time, Chengyuan felt a slight pain in his heart. He knew that for the millions of people in the farming civilization of the Later Han Dynasty, the snow in February was a bad omen, and the rain of spring ploughing that was originally regarded as hope in a year turned into a heavy snow, which can only be described as the unkindness of heaven and earth.

A winter snow, a fortune.

A spring snow, a disaster......

"Nanyang is not too far from the Yangtze River, will the snow in February come to this Dengzhou and give birth to such a biting cold?" Chengyuan was stunned, he thought, maybe this proves that the so-called cooling period in history came earlier than expected......

The birds in the yard flew to the treetops and shook off some of the snow on the branches, adding a flash of vitality to the quiet scene, and at the same time faintly showing the loneliness of Chengyuan in front of the window.

He stretched his muscles and returned to the bookcase, there was a pile of "seal calligraphy" on the desk, next to these crooked words and papers, but there were a few extremely simple and elegant seal scripts, and the words at the place of the payment were:

"The third year of Baoda, Xu Xuanting's pre-work."

After Liu Yanseng left last night, Cao Zheng mysteriously took out a stack of papers, which were full of ink. It was when he was idle in house arrest a few days ago that Chengyuan begged the bearded man to find it for him to practice writing.

When he first came to this era, Chengyuan quickly thought of practicing the pen as soon as possible, when his father forced him to memorize a lot of poems and ancient books, at this time he had to pick up the brush words that were abandoned due to perennial keyboard typing. The words he wrote were taken away by the bearded man and handed over to Cao Zheng.

After all, there are very few people who can read and break sentences in this era. Compared with the era when Chengyuan was born, the ancients had an extreme "gap between the rich and the poor" in terms of cultural level, and the distinction between elites, ordinary people, and scholars and people was very different.

Originally, in the era of peace and prosperity, the literacy rate of the Chinese barely reached 15 percent, less than 20 percent, much stronger than that of medieval Europe, all thanks to the organized social education system - private schools, righteous schools all over the countryside, although the gentry do not bear taxes and have some parasite meaning, but they are like "civilization piles" scattered on the land of China, and support the country's cultural and educational foundation. But in troubled times, the social and educational system in the countryside is crumbling or even basically collapsed. Chengyuan remembered that after the abolition of the imperial examination at the end of the Qing Dynasty, the literacy rate of the Chinese people was shrinking, probably because after the collapse of the old education system, the new education was difficult to bear. Therefore, when scholars in the United States return from overseas, the first thing that comes to mind is often not the political slogans such as democracy and freedom of the Japanese faction, but how to revitalize rural education in the Republic of China.

In an environment like the north during the Five Dynasties period, decades of chaos made the important official positions of the imperial court from the central to the local government controlled by military attachés.

Thinking about it, maybe this is also one of the considerations that Liu Yanseng did not make up his mind to kill him in the first place, or that he felt that he had some use value.

Cao Zheng pointed to the words "line and son passed away" and praised: "These words seem to be quite regular." He asked Cheng Yuan to write the book, and now Cheng Yuan was exposed, he was going to write the three words "Cheng Kuiyuan", but the first word was still able to deal with it, and the second word immediately couldn't go down crookedly, and the glyphs of the third far word were almost scattered.

Cheng Yuanzheng was embarrassed, but Cao Zheng frowned and said, "What is this word?" ”

It turned out that the person referring to was the word "Kui". "Eighty percent didn't use this word in ancient times," Cheng Yuanxin said: "Kui's original word is Kui, and there are too many inconvenient things for traversers." ”

"Well, Kui Nai has a sound, and the different shape of this Kui character is very good, but it is also very suitable for the meaning of Na Kui Xing Dian Dou." Cheng Yuan talked nonsense and gave himself a step.

"You write in a weird way at the end of each word," Cao Zheng shook his head, "as if you don't write vertically." ”

Cao Zheng found that he had a sense of sluggishness when he closed the pen downward, and observed his momentary gestures, as if he often wrote horizontally from left to right on weekdays. But how can the plaque be from left to right, and there is still a pen? It's weird and weird.

Cao Zheng said coldly: "Your words are only afraid of passing a big mark, this person's penmanship is vigorous, if the class is just boring to make an axe, but must be impressed by elegance." But you can't write at all. ”

Chengyuan asked the person he was referring to, but Cao Zheng just shook his head.

After that, Cao Zheng ordered someone to move himself here, a small backyard on Yaxi Road in Dengzhou Mansion, and then left without quitting. One of the buildings here is the guest room of the state government yamen, and the house he is in is a small warm pavilion.

When the scribe of the Dengzhou Mansion brought a few seal script and asked him to copy it, Chengyuan at night just copied it in a muddy manner and did not look closely, and then fell asleep in the case of exhaustion.

Now in the morning, when his mind returned to calm, he turned his head and glanced at the beginning of the book, last night he was completely drowsy, at that time, the first word was "day", and the fourth word was "yellow", which could be roughly seen. However, he saw the second word as the word "karma" next to the word soil, and the third word as "palace".

"It turned out to be a "Thousand Character Text"!" Suddenly realized, Chengyuan muttered to himself.

"Thousand Character Text" I memorized when I was a child, although I have forgotten individual words after so many years, but under the glyph prompts of this seal script, the memories of the past have been gradually awakened. Cheng Yuan looked down, and sure enough, there were vague words "cosmic desolation" behind him. In this way, these seal characters can be roughly distinguished.

Cheng Yuan picked up the pen and continued to write down the part that was interrupted yesterday: "The string song wine banquet takes the cup and raises the hand, and the feet are happy and healthy, and the heirs continue to sacrifice and taste the wind and then worship and fear ......"

When he wrote the word "fear", he couldn't help but be stunned, and then he felt panicked in his heart.

The glyph of the seal character "fear" was originally an up-and-down structure, with two eyes on the top, and the heart character was written on the bottom in pictograms, rather than in italics placed next to the vertical center on the left, which looked like a long nose hanging down from the middle and upper part of a smirking mouth. It's very hideous and terrifying.,The whole thing looks like the tengu in the story of Japanese ghosts and gods.。

This word seemed to be staring at Cheng Yuan with two eyes, as if it was about to suck him into the paper scroll.

This face seems to have been imprinted in his heart for a long time, and with the appearance of this word, the memory in his heart is about to be faintly summoned again.

"I've definitely seen this look before!" Chengyuan put down the pen and closed his eyes and pondered: Cao Zheng, Liu Yanseng, the bearded man who spies on him, the unit leader who often finds him unhappy, the face of his father when he was a child when he was physically punished, and even some characters in the horror movies and television dramas he has watched, many kinds of eyes flashed over his head.

"No, neither! How did I think of them? ”

However, this strong sense of déjà vu lingered, like a disgusting worm burrowing into the body, gnawing at his mind from time to time. Chengyuan recalled it for a long time, and his heart became more and more irritable. Suddenly opened his eyes, the word on the paper was still staring at him, he only felt a slight pain on the right side of his forehead, and a voice in his heart kept echoing: "Qianyou breaks the Wuwei Lingwu soil, Qianyou breaks the Wuwei Lingwu soil......" These eight words suddenly seemed like a carriage full of ghosts, one by one, flashing from the tip of his heart.

"Afterlife, afterlife?"

He suddenly felt that he had been slapped with a hand a few times, and he was startled, and when he turned around, a scribe dressed in dark clothes had entered the room at some point, and was looking at him with puzzled eyes.
