Chapter 34: Ancient Writings
Early the next morning, Luo Song went out of the cave and asked a disciple who was also an outer disciple of the Hualongmen on the way, and then he knew the direction where Wen Tianfeng was.
Fortunately, Wen Tianfeng was reluctant to be far away from Yiliu Peak, and after rolling over the two peaks, Luo Song came to the foot of Wen Tianfeng and found that this was actually a private school.
As soon as he walked into the private school, he saw a group of children playing wildly, and an old man in a green shirt was watching helplessly.
After seeing Luo Song walk in, a group of children came to him, with the intention of pulling him to play together.
Without waiting for the bear children to approach, Luo Song immediately glared and made a fierce look, which scared the group of bear children at once, and after all of them screamed, they turned around and ran out of the private school, and the old man in green shirt hurriedly chased him out.
However, when he came to the door, the group of bear children had long since disappeared, which made the old man in the green shirt suddenly show a look of disappointment, and then he turned to Luo Song and hugged his fist to carry out the Confucian gift.
Seeing this, Luo Song didn't dare to hold it up, so he hurriedly returned a salute and asked, "The old gentleman is a great Confucian who teaches words?"
"I'm ashamed, the old man has been called a great Confucian for the first time in forty-one years since he started studying, but this old man can't afford it. The old man waved his hand repeatedly.
Although he was right, the expression on his face had already betrayed him, obviously the old man was not a sleek and sophisticated person, which made Luo Song feel a little admired in his heart.
After all, being able to maintain an innately good heart in the world, especially in cultivation, can be said to be extremely rare, even when he was on Earth, he had never seen such a person.
Even some recognized good people are just hypocrisy that has been hyped up, where is the reality of the old man in front of him.
"Could it be that the little brother is here to learn words?" Thinking of Luo Song's question just now, the old man asked in surprise.
In Hualongmen, except for mortals like him who teach, almost all of them are cultivators, and cultivators of such a big age as Luo Song are rarely illiterate.
For the old man's gaze, Luo Song naturally knew what the other party was thinking, but long before he came, he organized his words, and naturally he would not show his feet.
"Don't hide it from the old man, I was born in a small village since I was a child, I don't know Ding so far, just a few days ago I just worshiped the dragon gate, I heard that the old man can learn words here, so ......"
As he spoke, Luo Song's voice gradually became smaller, after all, a person of his age didn't know a word, so it was inevitable to be embarrassed.
Looking at Luo Song like this, the old man nodded lightly, the more he looked at Luo Song, the more pleasing he felt, and even had a feeling that Luo Song was different from everyone he had seen, but he couldn't say what the specific place was.
"I hope that the old gentleman and professor, this favor will be repaid in the future!"
"Hehe, what to talk about in reciprocation or not, preaching and solving doubts is the responsibility of a scholar like the old man, please!"
"Thank you, sir!"
Luo Song hugged his fist deeply at the old man, and even bowed his back, which made the old man's slightly squinted eyes flash a different color, and then returned to normal, Luo Song naturally did not notice the slightest.
Subsequently, Luo Song followed the old man into the private school, and began to seriously learn the underworld script with the old man, even if there was a group of bear children from the outside world to interfere, it did not affect Luo Song's learning heart, and it did not interrupt the old man's interest in teaching.
Because he found that Luo Song not only learned words quickly, but could even draw inferences, in just three days, he could learn more than 1,000 words that were common to the underworld.
On the fourth day, that is, the old man tested whether Luo Song could become a teacher, and asked Luo Song to write an article in the underworld script.
Half a day later, when the old man looked at Luo Song's article, his wrinkled face was wonderful, and finally turned into a deep shock.
Even those cultivators who have cultivated to the highest level are not surprised to learn the words of the underworld in just three or four days, but to be able to learn the words in such a short period of time, and to write such a shocking article with words, the old man gave Luo Song an evaluation without the slightest exaggeration.
There is no one before and no one after us!
Regarding the old man's evaluation, Luo Song was very humble on the surface, but he was actually very ashamed in his heart.
He said that he was illiterate, but he did not know the words of the underworld, but on earth he was a person who went to college, although he was a science student, but when he wrote his papers, he soaked in the library, copied from various books, and read many great works.
And the articles he wrote in the underworld script are just a conversion of the articles in the Chinese script of the earth, which is equivalent to the role of a translator, if he really wants to write it with real skills, even if he cries, he can't cry.
After putting down the article in his hand, the old man kept walking around the room with his hands behind his back, as if he was thinking about something, and raised his eyes to look at Luo Song from time to time, which made Luo Song not know what the other party was doing.
After a long while, the old man's pacing legs stopped, as if he had made some decision, and after walking in front of Luo Song, he said solemnly: "It's not a secret, the old man was taught by a senior when he was young, and he learned ancient characters. ”
This......
Luo Song looked stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that he was just here to learn the underworld script, and the old gentleman in front of him actually had to teach him the ancient script, which made him a little difficult.
If it was someone else, he would not hesitate to refuse, after all, his purpose was only to learn the words of the underworld, so that he would not be unable to understand at least the various exercises he cultivated.
But the person who opened his mouth was the old man in green shirts, the old gentleman who had been teaching all his life, and he was even more friendly and polite, and the old man was almost seventy years old, and he could not guarantee that one day his life would end, and what he had learned in his life, especially the ancient texts had been lost, which was a great sin for the old man, a scholar, and it was a thousand times harder than death.
"Doesn't Xiaoyou want to learn?" the old man's tone became a little hurried, and he looked at Luo Song with worried eyes, for fear that Luo Song's answer would make him desperate in the next moment.
"No, old gentleman, you have misunderstood, the old gentleman is willing to give his money, such an act of not asking for anything in return, really makes me admire, I am afraid that I am dull, will be in vain the old gentleman's fatigue. Luo Song hurriedly explained.
Hearing Luo Song say this, the old man immediately laughed and said excitedly: "You are the person with the best qualifications that the old man has ever seen, if you are stupid, then all the people in this world are waste wood idiots." ”
"Since Xiaoyou has the heart to learn, the old man will do his best to help Xiaoyou learn the ancient characters, and never let this text be cut off here in the old man. ”
"Let it be~" Luo Song smiled lightly.
The Great Creation?
He didn't think that he could get the great creation by learning a language and writing, that kind of ethereal speculation and longing, thinking about it was useless, and now his only idea was to learn the ancient script as soon as possible, and after fulfilling the old man's wishes, he would seize the time to cultivate.
After this decision, Luo Song saw a lot.
Now that he has become a disciple of the Dragon Sect, although he is only a disciple of the outer sect, he will have time to cultivate in the future, and if he misses this time to learn ancient characters, he is just a real scholar who regrets it for life, I am afraid that he will not be at ease for the rest of his life.
He can be fierce to the enemy, just like in the mountains and forests where the Giant Mountain Mental Hospital is located, they do not hesitate to kill those armed squads, because mercy to the enemy is cruelty to themselves.
But these do not represent all his personality, he asks himself that he still has a conscience, and is barely a good person, and that it is the basis of his life to repay kindness.
Since the old man taught him to pass through the underworld, it seems to be a very small matter, but it is very important for him, after all, he will be hindered everywhere when he walks in the underworld in the future, not to mention the cultivation of exercises that suit him.
Counting on that cheap master Yi Lan?
Got it, in the name of it, he said that he needed to carve this piece of jade by himself, but only Yi Lan knew what it actually was, anyway, Luo Song didn't believe it.
Therefore, the old man taught him to understand the underworld writing, which seems to be a trivial matter, but it means a lot to him, and he Luo Song will naturally repay this kindness.
In the next half a month, Luo Song did not leave Wen Tianfeng for half a step, and he was always learning ancient characters from the old man, and even the little gray monkey who followed him felt bored, playing alone in Wen Tianfeng, and sometimes playing with the group of bear children.
Luo Song thought that it would be easy to learn ancient characters, but when the old man really taught him, he realized that the old man's face would be so solemn when he mentioned ancient characters.
It's really too complicated for ancient characters, just the first day of learning, a whole day, Luo Song only learned six ancient characters, and they are still those words that are easy to learn in ancient characters.
Even Luo Song felt that ancient characters were not learned by people at all, and there were so many strokes in each word that it made people's scalps tingle.
Among the six characters he learned, the strokes were at least sixty-three.
That's right, it's sixty-three strokes, and it's the word with the fewest strokes!
As for the other five characters, they all have more than 100 strokes, which is why he only learned six characters after studying for a whole day.
Among them, it is not only necessary to know these six, but also to write them silently, and to write down all the meanings contained in each text, which is the most painful and difficult part for him to learn ancient characters.
However, when he saw that the old man was desperate to teach him, Luo Song also hardened his head and gritted his teeth and insisted on learning ancient characters.
I don't know why, when he learned on the seventh day, Luo Song learned more words every day, and everything seemed to be as smooth as it came naturally.
It wasn't until the fifteenth day, that is, half a month after he studied the ancient characters, that he finally learned all the ancient characters that the old man had mastered.
And after he learned the ancient script, he always felt as if he had mastered some strange power, and this feeling was indescribable, and in the end Luo Song could only attribute it to his own delusion.
