Chapter 16: The Secret of Reading
"Toot! Honk! Honk! "I got up early in the morning, came to the place of work, and waved my hand to the two officials who saluted him, and Lu An continued the work he didn't finish yesterday, and kept marking the Analects with a carving knife and punctuating them." My lord, you have been carving on the bamboo slips since yesterday, are you commenting on the Analects? The two little officials looked at Lu An's attentive appearance, and couldn't help but ask curiously. Oh no, it's just adding punctuation! Lu An didn't raise his head. Punctuation mark? The two officials looked at each other, a little inexplicable. You'll find out later! Go ahead and get busy! Leave me alone! Lu An sensed their question, raised his head and glanced at it, and without much explanation, he waved his hand.
"Whoa!" Although the two little officials were strange, they didn't dare to ask more, bowed their heads and answered, and went to work again.
Time always passes in a hurry, and a morning passes.
"Oops! It's finally finished! There are enough of these Analects. Lu An stretched a big waist and muttered to himself. Punctuating this Analect is really tiring enough, and I can't remember a lot of things I have learned before, and I can only mark them after slowly groping and confirming the meaning, which is really tiring.
"Ding! System prompt: The host has read the Analects and understood them thoroughly! +1 Basic Intelligence! ”
"Nani!" Hearing the prompt of the system, Lu An was stunned for a moment, and then a surprised expression appeared on his face, this Nima's, there is also this kind of good thing, reading books also adds intelligence, so if you read all the books, wouldn't your intelligence be hundreds.
Lu An suddenly became excited, and hurriedly picked up another copy of Mencius, and quickly flipped through the ten lines at a glance, and soon, this book of Mencius was finished by Lu An, but at this time, there was no system prompt sounding again.
"Huh? Odd? It is impossible to add intelligence to the Analects, Mencius does not add it! Lu An was a little surprised, and carefully recalled the previous system prompt, it seemed that it was only after understanding that he had a +1 intelligence.
Does that mean that I can fully understand and translate it completely? Understand the meaning? Lu An pondered deeply, isn't it just like the classical Chinese in the textbooks of later generations, you have to fully understand it before you can count!
"It's better to keep the previous state and study it slowly, and after the research, you should be able to confirm whether this is added randomly, or if you maintain this pattern!" Lu An thought about it, picked up Mencius again, read it slowly, and when he encountered places that needed to add punctuation, he also engraved them one by one, which was not only convenient for himself to read, but at least looked more comfortable.
A day has been mixed up like this again, this time Lu An was ruthless, put this bamboo slip directly on his body, and prepared to take it back to continue his research, if he can really increase his intelligence, how about being a nerd himself.
"Daddy, mother?" Back in front of his house, Lu An found that there were two couples dressed as civilians standing under the eaves with big bags, but it was his parents, Lu Sanding and Lu Yao, who were looking around and waiting there.
"Dog! You're back! After Lu Sanding and his wife saw Lu An, they shouted in surprise.
"Why don't you come to Taishou Mansion to find me? Didn't I tell you in the letter that if I wasn't at home, you could call me there? Lu An smiled bitterly. The place where he lives now is close to the street, and there are people coming and going, and it is really indecent for his parents to shout his cheap name so loudly, but no matter what, he can't blame his parents for being a son.
"That place is full of officials, how dare we!" Lu Sanding chattered. Obviously, there is a kind of awe for the Taishou Mansion.
"Forget it, let's go in first!" Lu An is helpless, his parents are from poor backgrounds, and he naturally has a natural awe for the official eunuchs.
"Why did you bring so many things, didn't you just bring a little soft?" Looking at the big bags and small bags that his parents were carrying, Lu An took it and asked.
"These are all sent by the villagers, oh, this salted fish is given by Wang Lao Liu, this chicken is given by Lao Ma, and here are a few pieces of paper and pen from the clan elder, saying that you are now an official, you must use it, by the way, and Niu Wa's father Lao Niu also gave me a large vat of fine wine that he has stored for many years, this is an old wine!" Lu Sanding introduced them one by one.
"Okay, I got it!" Lu An nodded, he can be regarded as a step to the sky! These villagers send these things just to tie up, and they will have a backer in the future, so they will accept it.
"Dog, this house is really yours now?" Lu Yao stood in front of this brand-new house, and said in disbelief. She had never lived in such a good house, a large area of housing, with a yard behind it, a bonsai, and a lot of wildflowers in the yard.
"Hmmm! Father, Mother, and Lord Taishou said that they had given me this house, so you can find a better room to live in it later! Throw these things to the storeroom first! Looking at the happy faces of his parents, Lu An smiled slightly, sometimes, it is a recognition of himself to make his parents live better.
"Oh, good!" Lu Sanding nodded like a dream, and cooperated with his wife to keep touching here and there, as if he felt that this was a dream. Lu An didn't care about them, and took out a cold and shining pear flower gun from the luggage brought by his parents.
"Pear Blossom Gun: Intermediate Gun Weapon, Force +5! (For the record, force is not the same as basic force, which will be explained later), and sometimes it will have a piercing attribute when cast! You can kill multiple soldiers in a row at once! ”
When Lu An held this pear flower gun, a set of marksmanship suddenly appeared in his mind, this is the martial arts that Lu An felt in his mind as soon as he crossed over, not only referring to marksmanship, in addition to bows and arrows, which only rely on archery, other big knives, swords, and even fans, he has a routine in his mind, but he has never had the opportunity to experiment, of course, as for why Lu An has this, he can only attribute it to his initial seventy points of force value, if it is only brute force, Obviously no.
With a little excitement, Lu Anxing hurriedly ran to the courtyard, showing the automatic marksmanship in his mind, and for a while, he actually danced and danced, quite a kind of martial arts master.
"I am now in my eighties, and I can be regarded as a master in this world of fierce generals! But you can't leave it behind in terms of intelligence, and I'll go to read the book later, increase my intelligence, and when the time comes, Wubi Lu Bu, Wensai Zhuge , hahahaha! Feeling his marksmanship like the autumn wind sweeping away the fallen leaves, Lu An thought very proudly, his thoughts had already gone to Mars.
"Dog, it's time to eat!"
"It's coming!"
